Chapter 10: Sky Vs Lewis

Once we all woke up, Honeydew had already started working on the rest of the tunnel. Lewis offered to take over but the little dwarf kept on digging, humming to himself. Lewis returned, humming the similar tune. Martyn chuckled lightly. Obviously, it was an inside joke. Lewis sat down across from Sky while Mitch manned the entrance and Martyn and I sat beside a large boulder, to which we had jokingly named Geodude earlier. Long story that doesn't really have any importance to this one.

"Story time?" offered Martyn, clapping his hands together.

"Can't stand silence, huh?" I hummed.

"Nope."

"Me either," I chuckled, nodding. "So, anyone got a good story?"

"I was a king once," Martyn shrugged.

"You're joking right?" I gasped.

"I was the king of the saplings. I ruled over a little kingdom. It was nice. That was before I joined the Yogscast though," Martyn explained. "It was kinda lonely."

"How is being a king lonely?" I commented.

"Everyone looks up to you. No one would talk to me like I was a normal human being," he yawned. "What about you? What were you like before the Sky Army?"

"I was in high school," I sighed. "I…kinda fell into it, literally."

"Hey, were you part of that huge thing that happened in that city?" Martyn gasped.

"Yes."

"You heard about that?" Sky grumbled, entering the conversation.

"Heard about it? Before it was on the news, Yogscast had like seven reports up by five different branches," Martyn winked.

Sky's shades flickered, showing his narrowed eyes for a second before returning a shadowy darkness. His lip curled. If it wasn't obvious, something was bothering him. Martyn and I exchanged looks, hesitant to ask. Lewis, who had missed out little conversation thus far, missed the tension and joined in.

"How's everyone doing?" he grinned.

Sky quickly shoved passed him, nearly knocking the leader over. Lewis brushed off his shoulders, glaring at my commander. Martyn and I exchanged glances again. The tension was growing. Mitch began moving further down the entrance, no doubt in hope of escaping what was about to happen.

"If I did something wrong, you should probably tell me so I can fix it," Lewis instructed.

"Aren't you the smart one," Sky hissed.

"Hey, guys, let's relax," Martyn whimpered. "We're talking about backstories…anyone wanna add?"

I grabbed Martyn by the backpack, pulling him behind the rock with me. The tension was as thick as soup. The hot, humid air was getting to all of us, pushing the heat of their glares into a near sickening level. Sky turned around, facing Lewis. Martyn and I ducked behind the rock, avoiding eye contact with either.

"Who do you think you are? This is no time to argue!" Lewis argued.

"Argue? Who's arguing?" chuckled Sky.

"Have you lost it?" mumbled Lewis. "I don't know what you've got against me…"

"What I've got against you? Let me tell you a thing or two that you apparently forgotten!" shouted Sky.

"Forgotten?" whispered Martyn.

"What is going on?" I mumbled.

"If you're talking about what I think you're talking about, I have no forgotten!" replied Lewis. "I think about that every day!"

"Not as much as I do," snarled Sky. "You could of done something! You could have saved us! You could have saved her!"

"Her?" whimpered Martyn.

"Her…" I repeated.

"I'm sorry. If we followed every crazy idea that comes us than we would be run dry," argued Lewis. "We took precautions. I'm sorry that we took too many! Is that what you want to hear? I'm sorry!?"

"I don't care how many times you try to apologize, it means nothing. It won't bring her back!"

Peering around the boulder, I could see the tears running down his cheeks. His lip quivered over his snarled teeth. I was worried he was going to completely break down. The glimmer in Lewis' eyes sparkled as he lowered his eyes.

"I know…okay," sighed Lewis. "We should have done something…but it's in the past now. You can't let that hinder the chance to help people now!"

"I help everyone! I help those you won't! We've been attacked so many times now, had our troops attacked, our friends wounded, base blasted and where we you for those! You said that was in the past but you're still doing the same junk as you were back then!" Sky shouted, charging forward.

Lewis froze, hand barely around the handle of his blade. His eyes were opened wide, watching Sky charge him. Martyn and I leapt up, leaping over the boulder. We were too far behind. Sky pulled out his golden blade, watching it glimmer in the heat of the nether. Lewis lowered his hand, shutting his eyes.

"Enough!"

Sky groaned, feeling Honeydew's fist crunch into his stomach. His glasses fell off, hitting the ground with a shattering crash. Lewis perked, pulling Honeydew away. Sky collapsed in front of them, holding his stomach. Lewis lifted Honeydew into the air, setting him down beside Martyn and myself. The little dwarf nodded lightly, rubbing his knuckles.

"Honeydew are you insane!?" Lewis gasped. "Sky, are you alright? Oh my goodness!"

"You son of a…" snarled Sky, kneeling. "Whatever. I'm done here."

Sky stood up, heading toward the entrance. He picked up his glasses along the way but didn't put them on. He held them in his hand. His fist tightened and I heard the glasses snap. Lewis sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose. Honeydew scoffed, sitting on the boulder.

"He was the stupid one to attack," commented Honeydew.

"He just had some aggression," sighed Lewis. "He needed…to get it out."

"That's why you didn't defend yourself?" Martyn asked.

"You almost grabbed your blade," I added.

"My blade is diamond. Compared to mine, his blade would've shattered," Lewis admitted with a slight grin.

"What were you two even talking about?" mumbled Martyn.

"Confidential," remarked Honeydew.

"Honeydew, relax. These two are within ranks," nodded Lewis.

"I forgot to mention," perked Honeydew. "Honeydew finish tunnel."

"How do you finish a tunnel?" questioned Martyn.

"When it leads to a giant castle," remarked Honeydew.

"Castle!?" we all gasped.
