Ep. 10: The Butter Golem
-Reviewers: Awesomeking13, I honestly I have no idea what I'm going to do. I'm in way over my head with your constant waves of ideas. I really appreciate them, though, but I have no idea how I'm going to use them. At the same time, I just want some of my reviewers to be happy with me using their OC's in a way that they enjoy them being used. I even don't know how I'm going to start the second season of 'SkyShorts'. Your OC and Crystal are really bringing me down. It's either keep them together or just leave them as good friends. I'm really trying to pick one. It's tough right now. Soon after this story episode, I'm taking a short break before starting 'SkyShorts Season 2'. (Sighs) I...I just need some time to think.
-P.S.: Thanks for the cookie [::].
-P.S.S: It's okay. I'm not mad at you. I'm just overwhelmed right now, but I'll be fine.
(When Sky and his friends come across a Butter Golem, can Sky handle it? One quiet night in GeoCity, everything is quiet so far. But then, the moans of zombies and clattering of skeletons fill the night. On the sidewalks in the city, Sky and his buddies, Ssundee and BajanCanadian are seen running panicky as they are being chased a hoard of zombies and skeletons. They were on a mining trip when they got ambushed by the mobs. They've have been running for half an hour and are exhausted. They run out of the city and head through the woods).
-Sky: This is terrible! This is so bad!...I never got to mine those butter ores!
-BajanCanadian: Forget that, Sky! These mobs won't leave us alone!
-Ssundee: We've been running for an hour and a half now! They just won't give up!
-Sky: Maybe if we keep running, we'll probably elude them.
(But right after Sky says that, they all fall into a dark ravine. They groan in pain as they stagger to their feet. But then, they panic as they see that the ravine is crawling with Endermen, Creepers, Spiders, and Zombies. They scream and run to the end of the deep ravine, the other mobs hot on their tails. They reach a dead end. They look in fright as the mobs close in on them).
-Sky: I guess this is it. Guys, if we die here, I want you both to know one thing. Ssundee, I was the one who put Silverfish in your house and Bajan, I was the one who left that large dent on your car.
-Ssundee: Sky, what the fuck!? I had to stay at Deadlox's place for a week while my house was fumigated!
-BajanCanadian: And if we're somehow alive after this, you owe $60!
(The guys crouch down and wait for their fate. But then, a loud 'thud' is heard. The mobs look behind themselves and see one of the utility mobs; an Iron Golem with a yellow pattern to it. Its red eyes flash in anger and suddenly, the golem trudges its way towards the mobs. The mobs then turn their attack on the Iron Golem. One by one, they all fall due to the golem's massive arms crushing them. The Minecrafters look in awe as the giant attacks the mobs).
-Ssundee: Whoa...it's an Iron Golem.
-Sky: No, it's not. It's...a Butter Golem. (Voice breaking) IT'S SO BODILFUL!
(After the last of the mobs are killed, the Butter Golem looks over to the Minecrafters. Sky slowly pads through the terrain towards the golem).
-BajanCanadian: Sky, don't! That thing might attack you!
-Ssundee: Yeah, Sky! Get away from that thing!
(But Sky doesn't listen. Instead, he ventures closer and closer to the large figure until he is face-to-face with it).
-Sky: Majestic Butter Golem...I worship you. You are just as bodilful as budder!
(Sky bows his head down. The Butter Golem, on the other hand, has no idea how to react to this being in front of it. Out of curiosity, the golem lifts up on of its arms and grabs Sky by the arm. Sky yelps as he is lifted into the air. The golem analyzes Sky with its red eyes, mostly looking directly at his butter amulet. The Butter Golem then places Sky on top of his head, knowing that he is no threat).
-Sky: Hey guys, check it! Me and Butter Golem are going on adventures from now on! Onward, Butter Golem! Let us return back to my dwelling.
(The Butter Golem lumbers out of the ravine with Sky cheering on, leaving Ssundee and BajanCanadian in the cavern).
-BajanCanadian: I thought Iron Golems were just made of...iron.
-Ssundee: Yeah, but one made using butter blocks is a rare sight.
-BajanCanadian: Come on. Let's get out of this ravine.
(The two men climb up using vines and eventually make it out of the ravine, following their friend. Meanwhile, about 20 minutes later, back in Sky and Dawn's house, Dawn is seen pacing panicky through the living room, Butter is seated on the couch).
-Dawn: Where's Sky? He's usually not this late to come home from mining. I just hope he's okay.
(Suddenly, Butter's eyes perk up. The dog leaps from the couch, looks out of the front window, and starts barking).
-Dawn: What is it, boy?
(Dawn looks out. Walking on the driveway of the house is a large figure with a smaller figure seated on its head and two more figures behind it. Dawn runs out the front door and it's revealed to be Sky, Bajan, Ssundee, and the Butter Golem).
-Sky: Hey Dawn! Look what I got!
-Dawn: Sky, what the Nether is that?!
-Sky: This is a Butter Golem! Get with the program!
-Dawn: It's just an Iron Golem that's been painted yellow.
-Sky: NO! It's a Butter Golem. And, he'll be our new bodyguard.
(Sky crawls off of the Golem's head and walks up to Dawn).
-Dawn: Sky, I don't know if this is a good idea. I mean, a ir-...Butter Golem is a lot to take care of.
-Sky: Shut up! You don't know nothin'...'bout anything.
-Dawn: (sighs) Okay, Sky. You know what? Keep the golem. Only if you can prove to me that you can take care of him.
-Sky: Deal. You'll see, this Butter Golem will be a great advantage for defeating the mobs.
(But then, a loud 'thunk' is heard. Everyone looks over to the Butter Golem. Behind it is a large block of Butter on the ground).
-Ssundee: Did it just...?
-Sky: You know what? I don't want him to feel self-conscious. Everyone, crap your pants now.
-Dawn: But Sky, we-
-Sky: (angrily, through clenched teeth) Everybody...crap...your pants...NOW!
-BajanCanadian: You get weirder in each chapter.
(Soon afterwards, everyone had gone home safety for the rest of the night. A couple of days passed. One day, in the morning, Dawn is awaken by the sounds of pounding. She walks downstairs and sees the Butter Golem inside the living room, a half broken table in its left arm and a table leg in its right arm).
-Dawn: Butter Golem, what the 'H'? Give me those!
(Dawn walks up to the Butter Golem threateningly. The golem reacts by raising the objects and threatening to hit Dawn with them. Before things could turn ugly, Sky runs into the room and stops the golem).
-Sky: Buddy, relax. It's okay. She wasn't going to hurt you. Just...put them down. Put them down.
(The golem reluctantly places the objects on the floor).
-Sky: Good, Butter Golem. How about you go and gather some wood from a tree? Here's an axe.
(The golem takes the axe from Sky and walks out of the room...by crashing through the front window).
-Dawn: Sky, this golem is way too big to fit in our house.
-Sky: Well, look at the bright side, we get a much better lighting view now.
(Dawn rolls her eyes. A few seconds later, the Butter Golem returns with a full-grown oak tree is its arms. Sky and Dawn gape as the golem lays the tree in front of them).
-Sky: Um...Butter Golem? When I meant to gather some wood from a tree, it didn't mean to bring the entire tree here, but close enough. It's fine.
(The golem shakes its head in happiness as it lumbers away to gather flowers).
-Dawn: Can this golem even speak or something?
-Sky: Well, he makes a lot of squeaking noises when he walks, moves his arms or legs, or shakes his head. But once you get to know him, he's not that bad. Look, he's even offering you a flower.
(Dawn looks over and sees the Butter Golem. Grasped in one of its extended arms is a fern. Dawn slowly takes the fern into her hands. Then, the golem's arm is brought back to its body).
-Dawn: (awkwardly) Why...thank you, Butter Golem. I'll...cherish it as long as I can find a place for it.
(Dawn walks away with the fern, leaving Sky with the Butter Golem. Then, Sky climbs into the golem's head)
-Sky: Let us be off, Butter Golem. Let us search for any type of trouble.
(The golem nods and soon, lumbers away towards the city. Inside the city, Minecrafters turn and stare as the Butter Golem trudges through the streets. They aren't sure how to react, seeing a Minecrafter on top of a utility mob. But they know that if a golem is provoked, it can go on a rampage, so they know to stay away from it. Sky and the Butter Golem come across a girl, looking up at a tree. In the tree is a small ginger cat).
-Girl: Sky, help! My kitty is stuck in a tree.
-Sky: Not to worry, little girl. Butter Golem?
(The golem walks up to the tree, puts its arms around it, and yanks it out of the ground. The golem violently shakes the tree until the cat falls into the girl's arms. The cat is shaken up, its fur darting out in all directions).
-Sky: No need to thank us. It's all in a day's work. Butter Golem, get rid of this tree.
(The golem simply throws the tree in the other direction. Meanwhile, halfway across the city, at a nearby neighborhood, Husky is seen getting into his SUV. He adjusts the side mirrors until they're in the right position. But before he can turn on the vehicle, he looks out his driver side window and sees a flying tree heading right for him. He screams as he quickly gets out of the car and runs off. The tree goes right through the SUV, making it collapse on its tires).
-HuskyMudkipz: MY CAR!
(Suddenly, Jerome appears out of the house and sees the tree in the SUV).
-Jerome: Huh. I guess trees are starting to rebel against global warming. And they're starting with SUV's.
(Meanwhile, back in the city, the Butter Golem treads through the city, its red eyes darting everywhere, looking for anything unusual. Then, the golem sees a bank robbery in progress a few meters from it. Two men dressed in black are seen running out of the building with sacks filled with money).
-Sky: 'Sic them, Butter Golem!
(The golem reacts by running towards the robbers. The robbers look ahead and see the mob heading right for them. In response, they ditch the bags and make a break for it. Unfortunately, they are no match for the golem's usually fast speed. The golem easily catches up to them and grabs them by the back of their clothing. The golem lifts them up until they are up to where Sky is).
-Sky: Foolish fools that are foolishly being fools...you're in a lot of trouble.
(A while later, the golem is seen bringing the robbers to the police station. The giant just throws them over the chain-linked fence and they land next to the station doors. The golem walks away with pride, the robbers are quickly brought inside the building by two officers. Later into the afternoon, back at Sky and Dawn's house, Dawn is seen placing the last block to the front window).
-Dawn: Whew! Finally done.
(But soon after, the Butter Golem comes crashing through the window again, Sky clinging on its vines to avoid the hit).
-Dawn: Sky!
-Sky: Sorry again!
(Sky crawls off of the Butter Golem).
-Dawn: Sky, can I talk to you for a second?
-Sky: Oh...okay. Hey buddy, can you wait outside for a bit?
(The Butter Golem eagerly agrees to this task and walks out the crashed wall).
-Dawn: Sky, this is getting out of control! You need to ditch that golem now!
-Sky: What! Why? We can't get rid of him! Ever since we got him, he's been a real help around here. Remember Monday night when he fought off that horde of zombies?
-Dawn: Yeah, he ended up destroying half of the house!
-Sky: Well, at least we got better air conditioning. And on Wednesday, you were choking on something at dinner time and he saved your life!
-Dawn: Sky, he punched me repeatedly in the stomach. I even had to go to the hospital for a busted liver!
-Sky: Well, I gave you mine, so...
-Dawn: Stop looking at the positives for every negative thing that Golem has done!
-Sky: Okay, okay! (Sighs) Ma...Maybe you're right. Sometimes, I get overwhelmed by him as well. I can't always control him. But I thought it would be fun to have a Golem for the time being, but I guess the fun is over.
-Dawn: I know it's hard, Sky, but it's for the best.
(However, unknown to the Minecrafters, the Butter Golem is seen standing outside, hidden by the side of the house, having heard everything they said. The golem lowers its head in sadness. It slowly starts lumbering away from the house. Sky and Dawn exit the house and look around for the utility mob).
-Sky: Butter Golem? Butter Golem?
-Dawn: Where is he?
-Sky: Wait! You don't think he heard all the stuff we just said!? Oh Notch! This is horrible! We have to find him!
(Sky and Dawn run from their house, looking for the golem. The day passes into the night. The couple run back to the same ravine where Sky, Bajan, and Ssundee fell in days earlier. Deep within the ravine is mobs of zombies and skeletons).
-Sky: This is the ravine where Bajan, Ssundee, and I first met him. He has to be here somewhere!
-Dawn: Look! There he is!
(Dawn and Sky look upward and see the Butter Golem, walking sadly on a cliff. Grasped in one of its arms is a blue rose).
-Dawn: Butter Golem!
(The golem lifts up his head and looks over to see the Minecrafters).
-Dawn: Listen, I'm sorry!
(Dawn takes a step forward. Suddenly, the ground collapses around her and she falls into the ravine. Sky tries to catch her, but it's too late).
-Sky: DAWN, NO!
(Dawn falls hard on the stone floor, breaking her ankle. She shrieks in pain as she sits up. She looks up and gasps as zombies and skeletons close in on her. She tries to get up, but the pain is too great for her and she ends up on her bottom. She scoots across the ground and hits the same dead end. She shields herself with her arms as zombies get ready to kill her and skeletons get their bows ready. Suddenly, a loud 'clank' is heard. The mobs turn around and see the Butter Golem, glaring at them with red glowing eyes. The mobs turn their attention towards the giant and attack it. Skeletons shoot their arrows, but the golem's hard and buttery body reflect the arrows off his body. The arrows are thrown back and hit the skeletons right in their heads, killing them instantly. Then, the golem start throwing zombies around. Dawn can only watch in amazement as the giant fiercely and bravely fights the mobs. After the last zombie is killed, the golem is seen, heaving his body back and forth, panting from exhaustion. Then, he turns towards Dawn).
-Dawn: You...you saved my life. After what I said, you still saved my life.
(The golem nods its head, understanding what Dawn is saying. The next day comes. After the fight with the mobs, Dawn was brought to the hospital. Luckily, her ankle would heal up in only a few days, just enough time for her, Sky, and rest of his friends to start their vacation. And things would be different from now on. Dawn decided to let the golem stay with her and Sky. Sure, he is a handful sometimes, but after what he did, Dawn knew that things are more than what they appear).
