Sky POV—
Tiny-Toby burst out of the room on Gryphon, screaming bloody murder and stabbing the foot of a Squidlantian. They yelped in pain and started chasing after my miniature friend as he ran around the hall singing as loud as he could: "DO YOU LIKE MY SWORD, SWORD? MY DIAMOND SWORD, SWORD!"
I pulled out my budder sword and looked at everyone that had made it into the room. "Find as many Audience Members and send them to Alpha Base #1."
Ethan, Deadlox, Bajan, and Ruby pulled out their bows, large grins and they notched arrows with shiny arrowheads. I cocked my head. "What are those?"
"Budder arrows," Bajan answered. "Remember when Antvenom was shot with that arrow with the Squid blood on the tip? That was out inspiration."
I nodded. "Clever."
Ruby struck a flint-and-steel and lit the budder arrow ablaze. "Okay. We'll cover you while you run out. See you guys soon."
Sapphire patted her sister's back. "Be careful, Ruby."
"I'm always careful, yes?" Ruby smiled and ran out the door. "HERE'S RUBY!"
Sky! Before you go, you need to know something! Aether yelled in my mind.
"Go ahead, Aether," I whispered.
Dawn is okay, but they are using her and the others as bait! Don't get captured, and don't go into the Squid Army base! he informed me.
I furrowed my eyebrows. "Um... okay."
Alrighty! Nether said afterwards. Let's kick some Squid ass!
PBG POV—
I sat in the corner, punching at the cobblestone frustratedly. "Almost... there guys. Then... we can... escape!"
Seto sighed and shook his head. "Give it up, PBG. It's enchanted. There's no way we're gonna tunnel outta here."
I kept punching the cobblestone. "But I'm so close! We're gonna get outta here and warn everybody!"
Seto shook his head again, a little more firmly. "No, PBG. We're just gonna have to wait—"
"For what? For The Squids to brain wash us? For them to kill us? For the war to be lost?" I growled. "No way."
Seto tossed a plasma ball at another wall boredly. "No. We're waiting for Sky—"
"Enough for waiting with Sky! We've done enough waiting! We're gonna take the situation into our own hands now!" I snapped, turning my attention from the wall. I glared at Seto before turning back to the cobblestone. "We're gonna—!"
Ssundee grabbed my hand before I could strike the wall again. I looked up at him, and he gravely shook his head. "Stop."
I looked at my fists, which were scratched and bloody. I looked at the wall, a soft glow dampened by my blood. I hung my head in shame. I wouldn't see my brother and best friend again. I sat down in the corner and hugged my knees. "Why? Why did I have to join the Sky Army?"
Seto shrugged as he opened his cupped palms. Levitating several inches from his palm, was a tiny plasma ball. It glowed a soft green before fading away. I had a small glimmer of hope inside that maybe Seto could use his magic...
No, I told myself. You know it won't ever work.
I sighed, burying my head in my hands. Would I see McJones or Kyrak again?
A Squid guard opened our cell door and threw us a loaf of bread. "Eat." He closed the door.
It only took us three seconds to process what he was saying. Ssundee and I both rushed hungrily to the food, about to tear it to nothing but shreds, when Seto threw a plasma ball at the bread. The bread exploded into nothing but crumbs and fire. Both of us stared at the burnt spot that once held food.
Seto leaned against the wall. "Don't trust it. It's The Squids."
Ssundee hung his head and laid back on the bed. "Shit."
Knock knock.
I looked up at Ssundee. He was lying on one of the beds messing with with his sunglasses. Seto was sitting on the ground, working on another plasma ball. I buried my head again.
Knock knock.
I looked up again. "Which one of you is doing that?"
Seto stared at me under his purple hoodie. "Doing what?"
"The knocking." I turned to Ssundee. "Was it you?"
He shook his head, sitting up in the bed and pushing his sunglasses back into place. "I heard it too."
Knock knock. I heard a tiny voice accompany the knocking: "Hello?"
Ssundee pointed at the corner. "It's from there."
"No shit," Seto responded.
I walked to the corner and put my ear against the cobblestone. Nothing happened. I knocked once: Knock.
Knock knock.
Knock knock knock!
"Guys! There's someone on the other side!" I yelled excitedly.
Seto stood up quickly. "You're shitting us, right?"
"No!" I pointed to the wall. "Listen!" I slammed my fist firmly against the wall. It wasn't three seconds later that I received a responding, Knock!
Ssundee shoved me aside. "Stand back!" He ran full force into the wall. "Ow."
I rolled my eyes. "Yeah. That's totally gonna work." I turned to Seto. "You got anything powerful enough?"
He shrugged. "Do you got two minutes of warming up? Plus, how many layers of enchanted cobblestone is that?"
I sighed. "Just see what you can do, and do it. Let's see if we can determine if this guy is a Sky Army recruit." I knelt next to the wall and pressed my ear against the cold stone. The vaguely-remembered lessons of Morse Code...
Do you understand us?
Yes.
I felt a jolt of alarm and surprise as the answer came through. "Oh my Notch..."
"Shh!" Seto scolded me.
I thought for a second. Are you a Sky Army recruit?
Yes.
I felt a glimmer of faint hope inside of my heart. Are you captured?
Yes.
What is your name?
What is yours?
I hesitated before finally answering: I'd rather keep that a secret. Are you hurt?
No.
I sighed. Are you alone?
Yes.
Do you have weapons?
No.
"Got it!" Seto shouted. "Stand back!"
Back up! I quickly warned before running from the wall.
Seto took a deep breath, reeled his hands on his chest, then protruded them forward. "Pro populo nostro, arborem tibi iram in potestate!"
A plasma ball the size of my torso erupted from Seto's hands, throwing him backwards and exploding against the wall. Debris and rubble rained down, forcing Ssundee and I to hit the floor and cover our heads. I squeezed my eyes shut to clear out the dust and pebbles before coughing. "That. Was. Awesome!"
Seto sat up weakly. "Never tell me to do that again."
"PBG? Seto? Ssundee?"
iAngel POV—
"Bodil!" I screamed, sitting up in a cold sweat.
A familiar man backed up in alarm. "Okay. It seems like you're okay!"
I squinted, my eyes adjusting to the light to make out two men. One of them was in a armored ninja suit with a grey mask, a sword strapped to his waist and a row of iron knives along with the sword. The second man was about the same height range, with tan jeans, a blue jacket, stone sword, and two different colored eyes.
I felt a sigh of relief. "Vic. Red Flare."
The two friends nodded. "We're glad you're safe. What the Nether were you doing in the first place?" Red Flare asked.
I stared blankly at them.
Red Flare growled. "Where were you?"
I finally decided to lie. If they knew where I had been, I would be chin-deep in shit. I shook my head instead. "I... don't remember."
"Really?" Red Flare asked.
I nodded. "Really."
Vic shook his head. "Hand me your wrist."
I offered out my hand, which Vic took and pointed to. "What's this?"
My eyes turned wide. There was a tiny inscription that I never noticed before. It was no larger than my pinkie nail, colorless and almost impossible to spot unless I stared at it hard enough. It was a Squid.
Vic looked at me. "Are you working with them?"
I shook my head quickly. "No! Why would I work with those bastards?"
Red Flare hissed, "Bodil is probably dead right now because of your actions! What did you do!?"
I lowered my gaze, my lips trembling and my eyes already filling with tears. "I—I... We..."
Ck burst into the room, slamming the door shut behind him. "Note to self: Don't take a kill from a pack of wolves." He grabbed a grenade and opened the door quickly, throwing out the projectile and slamming the door shut again. A small explosion shook the door, followed by yelps of pain. "That ought to do it," Ck said casually, brushing off his hands.
Vic looked back at me. "Why do you have this symbol on you?"
I forced back the tears. I was a child of Notch. I could do better. "I... I don't know."
Red Flare grabbed the collar of my hoodie, but I didn't fight back. Either I was too weak or to distraught. "Listen to me you little shit. I don't care whether you're Notch's daughter or a spawn from my shit. You are gonna tell us where you were, and now, or I am going to feed you to those monsters that almost killed you."
I burst: "My siblings and Marz and Noah and Bodil and I went to a nearby Squid base to blow it up and The Squids already knew we were coming so they fired gas arrows and only Bodil and I escaped but then it turned to night and the monsters almost killed him and I saved him!" I wailed without taking a breath. Tears dripped down my cheeks. "I failed! My siblings are dead! Bodil is probably dead! Noah and Marz are dead!"
Red Flare dropped his grip on me, leaving me sniffling and crying. Ck and Vic just stared at me with horror. I felt a surge of something deep inside, a need that I wanted to fulfill. But I knew I couldn't teleport away.
Ck looked at me with sad eyes. "You tried to blow up a nearby base?"
I nodded. "I'm an idiot, with no family, no respect from my friends, and a failure," I said bitterly.
Vic shook his head. "You are not."
I closed my eyes and held back more tears. "Really? I was one of the few people in the group who actually wanted to do that. I am responsible for those deaths. I—"
"You didn't do anything," Ck interupted.
I shook my head. "Bodil, Noah and Marz, and my siblings are—"
"They're not dead! Now, stop acting like a baby and start acting like a real daughter of Notch!" Vic burst. "I can't take it anymore!"
I stared at him, along with the others, in surprise. He took a breath before continuing, "I'm sorry. But there has been so much death recently, in so many different armies and alliances, because of this war. There has been so much loss, and heart-break, and death, that it is starting to become a normal thing. But, you brothers and sisters are still alive. Bodil is still stranded in a tree. Marz and Noah are cowering before their father. And it's not too late to save them. If you do not dry your fucking tears, remember you're a daughter of Notch, and start acting like it, you're going to lose all of them! You know who could save them in time? iAngel. The real iAngel. Right now, you are a shell, stuck in a glass case of emotion that will endanger both you and others around you!"
Red Flare whistled, clearly impressed. Ck lowered his gaze like a dog.
"I..."
"So, you have a choice. You can stay here, mourning over your still-breathing friends and family; or you can go out there, and show them that you don't fuck around with iAngel, Daughter of Notch and Sky Army General," Vic explained to me.
Del POV—
Sitting in the cell, I had nothing to do. Literally.
They chained us all up in enchanted chains, threw us into three-block layered enchanted obsidian cells, and rigged the cells so that without proper identification, the inside would drop three hundred grenades. I tunnel my way out, trick the guards, and much less move around.
Oh well. At least I was with my brothers and sisters.
Sierra and Kate were both in a corner, trying their best not to burst into tears in pure fear and horror. Luna was laid on the bed, her broken leg making the guards give her just a little bit of pity to help her. But that didn't mean that she was not chained. Actually, she had the worse case: Since she was part enderman, they also enchanted the chains to make sure she didn't teleport away. As far as I knew, Marz and Noah were in a different cell. And...
Polska and Zhubox had managed to find a way to stand up and move around the cell, despite the chains. They were screaming horrible, horrible insults at each other. "You're a disgrace, Polska! You're the reason we're in here right now!"
"Oh! It's my fault?" Polska demanded. "What about you, Mr. I-should-dress-up-like-TobyTurner-and-be-a-jack- ass-to-my-sister?"
"You're a bitch!" Zhubox shouted.
"Fuck you!" Polska spat.
"Go to the Nether!" he cursed.
"Be banished by Father forever!" she screamed.
"You, my enemy, are working for The Squids! You're just a stupid Hunger Games fan who wanted to look like a stupid-ass girl with a bow!" he hissed.
Polska burst, running full speed into Zhubox and embedding her head in his stomach. He went down with a yelp of pain, slamming against the wall and causing what is now among our memories as: The Fight of the Trolls.
Zhubox bit Polska in the shoulder, making her recoil in pain and giving him the chance to tackle her back. He placed his shoulder against her throat, shoving her against the wall and strangling her. Polska retaliated by kicking him in the groin and head. He fell to the ground, curling into a ball. Polska pinned his shoulders to the floor with her knees, headbutting him as many times as she could manage.
I burst. "STOP!" I struggled to my feet and dove between the two, breaking the fight. "It's NO ONE'S fault! NO ONE is responsible. NO ONE should be fighting! NO ONE should be trying to rip their throats out!"
Polska spit in Zhubox's direction. "Stay the fuck away from me or I'll hang you by your chains."
"You better stay on your side on the cell, or I'm gonna come over there and rip you to bloody shreds that looked like an accident."
I hissed at both of them.
Luna stared at us in horror, then sighed. "Hatred. The only tool that can turn best friends against each other."
Sierra glared at Luna. "Oh! Don't start talking like this! Then we're all gonna start fighting!"
Kate began too: "Stop, Sierra! What's wrong with saying what might be true?"
"You little...!"
And that's where it all began. Everyone began to fight over a certain subject, whether it was just verbal arguing, or physical. Kate, Sierra, and Luna all began to fight over if it was someone's fault or not. Polska and Zhubox kept tackling each other over whose fault it was between them. I could only stare in shock, watching as our relationship between all of us began to fall apart.
I dropped to the floor and burrowed into a nearby corner, hiding my head in my knees and crying. We were all going to die.
Noah POV—
"Marz? Marz? Where are you? Marz?"
I walked through the gloom, barely able to walk and barely able to see a block in front of me. After The Squids had captured us, I remembered seeing a quick flicker of the form of my Father, Herobrine. After that, I only remembered the screams of everybody else before I found myself in... wherever I was. It reminded me of The End: Dark, empty, and full of possible dangers. But I had only run into nothing that posed me any danger, and that was what worried me.
I heard only the hollow, empty silence that terrified me. "Marz! Answer me, dammit!"
Noah...
I whirled, my sword raised in a protective stance. "Marz!"
Noah...
I started to back away. I had a bad feeling deep in my gut. "Marz?"
Noah... run...
I took the advice quickly as I heard the monstrous screech of something huge. I stumbled and did my best to run, but my leg prevented me from going anywhere. It was injured somehow before I appeared in wherever I was. I limped as fast as I could manage down into the endless dark, my sword raised and at my side when I needed it. "MARZ!"
"Noah!"
"Marz?" I hobbled faster. "Where are you?"
"No! Stay away! No!"
I felt panic paralyze my body. "MARZ! I'M COMING, MARZ!"
"NO! NO! GET AWAY! NO!"
I finally broke into a run, trying my best to ignore the pain in my leg. I screamed my sister's name, desperate to get to her now for both of our sakes. The monstrous screech was following me now, and I was praying that it wouldn't find me. "MARZ!"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
I saw my sister crumpled into a heap on the ground. I immediately dropped my sword and ran to her. Dropping to the ground, I frantically shook her shoulder. "Marz! Marz! Please don't do this! Say something! No!"
The monster seemed to be getting closer, and I began to panic. "MARZ! GET THE FUCK UP! SAY SOMETHING!"
She said nothing. I put an ear to her chest, and heard nothing.
I burst into tears. "Marz...! No! NO! NO! NO!"
I felt hot breath on my back, but I didn't move. I didn't even flinch. I sat there, crying over the body of my sister.
Noah! Run! That's not me! Run! Go!
"Marz..." I whimpered.
Run! Move it! Go! I'm not dead!
"Marz..."
RUN!
Something took a large, painful bite from my back, and I sat up.
I was in a cold sweat, my face dripping as I gasped and looked around nervously. I was in a room, obviously a prison cell, but it was different. It had a few posters and a soft bed. There were a few chest probably filled with nothing, bookshelves full with books of enchanting and magic, and a padlocked door.
Dammit, Noah.
I looked around again, only to find no one. "Hello?"
First off, we're still mentally communicating. As usual, when I die in your dreams, you have to jeopardize the mission AGAIN. Geez.
I listened carefully, trying to identify where it came from. I sighed in response to Marz's voice. "I'm sorry. I guess I'm just used to protecting you that I would give up my will to live if you died, even in a dream."
I understand, and I'm actually quite grateful for that. But that was our only way you were gonna be able to teleport into my room.
I sighed. The memory was starting to come back. Herobrine had taken us back to the Nether, to the home we trained and lived in. This was now our prison and new permanent home. As far as I knew, Marz was in a room next to mine. Marz and I were talking earlier, when we both developed a genius idea of being able to go into one of our subconscious minds, then be able to materialize right in front of them. The problem was that it was tricky, dangerous, and could only be done once. I was in Marz's subconscious, and so close to being able to materialize in front of her too...
I got off of my bed and looked around. "Is there anything else we can do?"
I could almost hear Marz thinking. Um... what do you have in your chests?
I walked over to one of the chests and opened it up. "I got a chest with... holy shit! It's full of steak!"
I got bread. I guess that's our food supply. What else?
I closed the chest and looked in another. "I have..." I put a hand to my mouth to suppress the vomit from escaping my stomach. "I have human heads that look a lot like Sky and the rest of our friends."
I have a head that looks like Pan. That's a nice thing to give us, Marz snorted.
I quickly closed the chest and looked at the second one. "Ah! Here we go! Something that might be useful. I have some obsidian, a few arrows, a bow, and... is that my old wooden sword?"
It seems like he gave us our old childhood weapons. Great. Grand. Wonderful. We can have mental sword fights with each other.
I laughed. "Um... and I have some sand."
What do you have sand for?
"Beats me," I said, shrugging even though she couldn't see me. "All I need is a water bucket, and I can have a miniature beach."
Yay.
I checked the next chest, and quickly shut it for the sake of my sanity. "Don't check the next chest in your room."
What? It's not like—OHMYNOTCH!
"Yeah... told ya." I looked at the bookshelves. "Check the shelves." I quickly scanned through the books, running my finger along the spines.
Let's see... um... Magic for Dummies; Enchanting 101; How to Make Enchanted Weapons; Magic and Enchanting for Children...
"You seriously have books labeled that?" I asked. "I got Black Magic; Plasma Orbs for Beginners; and How to Summon Your Own Army from the Nether."
At least you got the more useful books. Grab the one with Plasma Orbs and start reading the contents.
I followed her directions and opened up to the Chapter Contents. "Plasma Orbs for Sports, Rainbow Orbs, Communication Orbs—"
Yes! she interupted. Communication Orbs! What do we need?
I turned to the page. "Um... A potion made of three Soulsands, a Netherquartz crystal, sand, an enchanted obsidian block..." I trailed off. "Oh Notch..."
Shit. I have the Soulsand and Netherquartz. I just need the sand and enchanted obsidian.
I looked back at the chests. "I have that covered. It's the last item I'm worried about."
What is it?
I swallowed. "A beacon."
So?
"Where can we get diamond? Or a Nether Star?"
There was a tense silence.
Okay. Any other orbs we can try?
I checked the contents, my finger falling on one page number. "Shadow Orbs."
Perfect! Tell me what the page says!
I swallowed, then slammed the book shut. "You are not doing that spell."
What? Tell me what we have to do!
"No," I answered, "because the first thing it says on the page is: If not done properly, spell may vaporize the spell-caster."
Well, what choice do we have, huh? We're literally going to be locked up in the Nether, while our friends are getting their asses kicked in the Overealm. So, are we gonna do the spell, or wait until we see our friends lying in a pool of their own blood. So tell me the damn spell!
"You are not doing that spell. I'm doing that spell."
W—What?
I took a shaky breath. "I'm not gonna have you vaporize if we get something wrong. I'm going to do that spell."
No!
I sighed. "I'll be fine. I can get it correct."
There was another tense silence.
Fine, Marz finally grumbled, clearly scared and annoyed. Is there anything I can do?
Sky POV—
I burst out of the room, my friends behind me as I raised my budder sword. "FOR SKY ARMY!" I cried, and we began our spree.
I dodged a quick arrow and slashed my sword through a Squid's throat. A Squid tried to stab me with an iron knife, but missed, so badly that it was pathetic. I decapitated him quickly and ducked as a volley of arrows sailed over my head. I ran over to the Squid archers just as they started to reload, dropping to the ground and giving a sweep-kick to send the archers to the ground. My friends took care of them as I ran down the hall.
I kicked down a door and found a small family of four people hiding in the room, the father of the family holding a bow. He nearly fired at me in shock when I tackled the door. I lowered my sword. "Follow me. We're evacuating to Alpha Base #1."
The family stumbled out of the room, thanking me gratefully as I walked out to find more Audience Members.
"Sky! Duck!"
I took the advice from whoever was yelling at me and hit the ground, watching as a Squid crumpled to the ground with a budder dagger in his skull. Athena came trotting over in a few seconds, retrieving her dagger and helping me up. "Nice aim," I complemented.
"No time for that, Sky. We're a little busy," Athena sighed. "Left flank."
I spun, my budder sword turning into an arc of death as I chopped two Squids into pieces. "True, but you can at least say 'thank you.' " I raised my eyebrows. "Behind you."
Athena hit the ground and did a sweep-kick, taking out an archer and stabbing him in the chest. "Thank you."
"Now we're even." I raised my sword. "Get the survivors. I'll go ahead and start taking these bastards out. Do not be afraid to use the wither skulls."
Athena ran off, leaving me with around twenty Squidlantians. I raised my sword, a slight smirk tugging at my lips. "Let's do dis."
A few swords-men charged, blades ready to chop me clean in half. I dove to my right and watched the navy-blue blades create sparks against the cobblestone. "Missed."
An archer fired an arrow, but it went a little wide. The arrowhead grazed my budder sword, making more sparks fly. I rolled and slashed through a few Squidlantians' legs, making them scream and fall to the ground. The swords-men from earlier lunged at me all at once, and I parried their strikes. "Now that's hardly fair," I taunted.
They all hissed and made an attempt to kick me in the stomach. I dodged and chopped their heads off. A row of archers aimed at me, and I backed against a wall. There was no escape.
Or was there?
I saw Tiny-Toby, riding on Gryphon, as he quietly crept towards me. He was unnoticeable as he raised his diamond sword. All he needed was a couple more seconds. I could easily buy that time.
I smiled, dropping my sword and raising my hands. "You got me."
They all lowered their bows, shocked.
I saw Toby hop off of Gryphon and whisper in his ear. Just a few more seconds, then I would be able to show them what we could do.
I felt my excitement boil inside me. "But before you shoot me—or capture me—I want to ask you one thing: Have I introduced you to my favorite dog?"
The Squidlantians looked at each other in confusion.
I laughed. "I probably should!" I took a deep breath, then whistled. "Gryphon! Kill!"
Deep, demonic growl erupted from the white dog behind the Squids, and in a blur of white fur and navy-blue blood, Gryphon sat in front of me wagging his tail.
"Good boy!" I complimented. "Thank you, Toby."
Toby mounted his dog, gave a smile, then rode off, his sword still raised as he screamed: "NO ONE ELSE CAN MAKE A SWORD EXACTLY IN THIS MANNER, MANNER! WELCOME TO MY MANOR, MANOR! I CA-CA-CANNA CANNA!"
I swiped my sword from the ground and ran, a large grin on my face. I had never been happier for a dog in my life. By the time I had made it to the main grounds outside, the smile was already fading.
Um... Sky? Aether asked in my mind.
"Yeah?"
We don't know how to say this...
But, I think you should duck.
I hit the dirt again. Several knives sailed over my head, but it was retaliated by an arrow. An explosion sent dirt and rocks flying. The arrow was a TNT arrow.
Nether was laughing inside of my mind. That was awesome!
"Nice one!" I shouted, looking back to see Chance loading his bow again. "Better start hacking away my man!" he chuckled, his appearance changing to a creeper in a prison jump-suit. "FIRE IN THE HOLE!"
Snapp appeared out of nowhere on a horse, holding his double-bladed diamond sword (Or crystalline, as he liked to call it). He rode through hordes of Squidlantian attackers, slicing them to pieces like nobody's business. "This is awesome!"
I ran, my budder sword no longer a sword, but a beam of yellow death. I felt anger burn inside of me. They could blow up Sky Army HQ, and burn the Skyhub 2013, and attack The Audience HQ, and kidnap my wife. But all of those actions were going to come with devastating consequences.
Sapphire and Ruby both started running beside me, smiles on their blood-caked faces. "You ready for this?"
I didn't even look back as I chuckled. "You know I am."
Ruby notched a budder arrow, pulling back the string to her chin. "Athena! Operation: Arrow-Wither!"
Two seconds later, I saw a wither skull sail above the chaos of Audience Members and Squidlantians. Ruby fired the arrow, the arrowhead hitting home and sailing into the crowd.
Sapphire cleared her throat. "IN COMING!"
Where the arrow landed, an explosion sent Squids flying over the obsidian gates that protected the Audience HQ. I felt happiness fill my heart as I saw them fly. "Bon Voyage!"
But it was there that it got worse.
Worse than before.
Just plain: Worse.
I heard screams behind me. Deadlox, Minecraftuniverse, Bajan, and Jerome scream as Squids overwhelmed them. They disappeared in a sea of Squidlantians. I ran to help, but I heard Blabid and Lignite shriek. They were both being hauled off in cages, being treated like animals by The Squids. Susan, Sparklez, and Caveman had arrows shot into their bodies until they fell to the ground, alive but too weak to keep going. McJones and Kyrak were chained up like insane criminals, along with Minion and Markiplier. Snapp's horse was slaughtered and he was captured with Chance. Ruby and Sapphire cried out as they were thrown into cages like Blabid and Lignite. Athena was chained and put into a cage. Gabuscus, Ethan, Antvenom, and Ray disappeared in a sea of Squids.
I lowered my sword, realizing that we were losing. "No..."
Three Squids tackled me to the ground, pinning me to the ground with pure force. I lay on the ground, staring at the sun overhead.
"This can't be happening... Not like this..."
Bodil POV—
I opened my eyes with a groan, my head throbbing with horrible pain. There were no more monsters below, but I never moved from my spot. I failed to save iAngel, and I didn't deserve to keep living. Maybe when the night came again a spider would kill me.
Oh well. I was probably going to die of hunger or dehydration first.
My hand brushed against my nearly broken budder sword. Why should I wield a weapon like this? I sighed and closed my eyes again. Listening to the leaves rustle behind me, I wondered if she was even alive. Probably not.
"Bodil?"
I kept my eyes shut. Hunger was already setting in.
"Guys! He's still alive!" I heard a female voice yell. "Bodil! Can you hear me?"
I kept them shut.
"Bodil, you Notch-damned Troll! Answer me!"
I finally opened my eyes, and to my absolute surprise, I saw iAngel.
Dawn POV—
I walked around the cell nervously, wringing my hands and biting my lips. "No. Nope. No. This is not good. This is not good."
I was staring at three of my friends through the rubble: PBG, Seto, and Ssundee. They had gotten captured by The Squids like me, and they had no idea how they could get out.
Well, except the spell Seto just did, but I don't think he can do that time, after time, after time, after time again.
PBG placed a hand on my shoulder. "First off, good to see you. Everyone's been worried."
I nodded. "Good to see you guys."
Seto leaned against a wall and crossed his arms. "But this is also a bad thing to see each other. The Squids are planning something, and it's bigger than we could have ever imagined."
Ssundee wiped the dust from his sunglasses, his sleeve covered in the enchanted dust. PBG's hands were bloody, like he had lost a fight with a block of iron badly. Seto was covered in dust, but deathly pale. I guessed the spell he had done had worn him out.
Ssundee coughed. "So, what now? We can't just wait for Sky."
I shook my head. "We're bait for Sky. The Squids are trying to lure him in here so they can capture him and kill him."
"So," Seto started, "what are we supposed to do?"
"Wait," I answered. "And pray Sky has a better idea to break us out."
PBG sighed and sat in a corner. "How's the baby?" he asked me.
I put a hand over my stomach. "Fine. He's still kicking."
No one said anything else. They just sat in their corners and waited. I wanted to do the same thing, but I something deep inside of me that required my attention. And it wasn't the baby.
It was hope.
I walked back into my original prison cell and smiled. "I'll see you soon, Sky."
There we go! A follow up on iAngel, Noah and Marz, and the rest of the children of Notch, the battle that lead the Sky Army to defeat, what happens to Bodil, and the reunion of Dawn, PBG, and Ssundee.
Okay! That's the entire series! Thanks for reading and giving me support! I will see you in another story!
Nah! I'm joking with ya! Let's see how many people send in reviews that look like:
WHY DID YOU END THE SERIES LIKE THIS!
DON'T DO DIS!
WHY!?
We shall see what happens...
Anyways, thanks for reading! Be sure to submit questions and requested shout-outs before the series ends, and make sure to favorite and follow if you enjoyed! A final salute, and I will see you next time!
So tell me, Awesomer Army Members: Do you regret nothing?
