Another chapter down! And this one is EPIC! It's also the longest chapter that I have written. Well its tying with Chapter 2 anyways.
As Steve stepped out of the portal he almost immediately stumbled into the others, who ere leaning over the edge of a cliff. He hurried over and saw Rookie desperately clinging onto Jeffery, and Fido's hand over an ocean of lava.
They soon hauled Rookie and her pig back onto land, and Steve glanced around at the firey landscape. The Nether was what appeared to be a giant cavern, large enough to be its own world. The cavern was made up of a blood red block and had many pits of lava. Dotting the ceiling were glowing blocks which lit up most of the Nether. And although they had been there for only a minute, they were drenched in sweat from the immense heat that emitting not only from the lava but also from the ground and walls of the Nether.
Suddenly Steve heard a high pitch scream and turned to see a creature of nightmares. It was large and white, and had nine tentacles dangling from its body. It screamed again, then it spat a flaming ball at them. "SHIT, A GHAST!" Kryptid shouted, and they jumped to either side as the ball exploded where Steve had been just moments before. "RUN!" Fido shouted, even though everyone had already fled. "WHICH WAY?!" Steve shouted to Destructo. "I don't know! I was just going to wing it!" he shouted back. "Stop! I have an idea!" he shouted. Steve saw Destructo stop and turn around.
"What are you doing!?" Steve shouted. "Like shooting ghasts in the Nether," Destructo said as he shot an arrow into a fireball, causing it to deflect back into the ghast, disintegrating it. "Good thinking!" Fido smiled, and then she fell into a pit. They ran over and were relieved to see that she had only fallen into a small cave. She grabbed them and pulled them in as a small group of flying, flaming creatures flew past. "Blazes," she whispered, "We should follow them."
After following the blazes for a while, the blazes turned a sharp corner and they lost sight of them. Rookie hurried up to the corner to make sure the blazes weren't waiting for them "Guys... you might want to see this," she said. They rounded the corner, and looming out of an ocean of lava was an enormous fortress. There was lava pouring out of the fortress, and on the walls around it were blazes. Off in the distance was a ghast, and hopping in and out of the lava were large cubes of magmatic rock. Guarding the entrances to the fortress were tall, black skeletons with stone swords. "Holy..." Destructo said when he saw it.
"So what's the approach?" Kryptid asked when the shock had worn off. "I reckon if we can hitch a ride on a ghast we should be able to make it across," Steve suggested, but everyone thought this would be suicide. To see more of the fortress, they walked around the ocean, and found that there was one bridge in and out, but this was even more heavily guarded. "Why doesn't Kryptid just teleport us in there?" Steve asked. "I hadn't thought of that," Kryptid said. He grabbed onto Steve and Destructo and they were standing there for a few seconds before Kryptid said, "Sorry, for some reason I can't teleport over."
"You didn't try one of your enderpearls," Steve said. "Ok. Maybe that will work," he said as he lobbed a pearl over to the fortress. They saw it hit the fortress but nothing happened. Suddenly the screech of a ghast sounded above them, and they were almost demolished by the accompanying fire balls. Not caring about what would happen, they ran towards the bridge, before the saw the black skeletons setting off TNT on the bridge, causing the bridge to be demolished. Now stuck between lava and a ghast, Steve saw his only chance into the fortress. Running at ghast, a diamond sword appeared in his hand and he launched himself onto the back of the ghast. The ghast flew up violently, then Steve stuck his sword into its back. Seeing as the ghast wasn't dead, he used the sword as a sort of steering wheel and led the ghast toward the destroyed bridge. He beckoned for the others to jump on, and then he 'drove' the ghast towards the fortress. Steve then pulled his sword out a jumped towards the fortress. The ghast shot a fire ball at him, and he smacked it with his sword back into the ghast, causing it to die. They others landed on the ground next to Steve and they looked at him in awe. The sword disappeared and he looked at his friends in surprise. Destructo was the first one to speak.
"THAT WAS AWESOME!"
I think I better say something. The powers Steve uses in this are kind of like the inventory of a normal minecraft player. Like how they can scroll to pick items on their hotbar. Steve didn't just make a diamond appear out of no where. OK? Good.
