Ep. 12: We Can Still Win This Battle...
"Running away from something that you must deal with will haunt forever".
(About 2 hours have passed. The storms continued on into the night, bringing heavy floods to Minecraftia. In an uncharted part of a dense forest, Sky is seen trudging throguh the heavy foliage. He leans against a tree to take a break. Then, his phone rings again. He takes it out and answers it).
-Sky: (slightly annoyed) What!?
-Alix: Sky, the squids have taken over everything! I can't stay hidden forever! Did you tell the mayor they were still coming?
-Sky: No...no, I did not tell the mayor that the squids are coming.
-Alix: What?! Why?
-Sky: (angrily) Because I just got exiled out of the city for good, you asshole!
-Alix: Hey, don't get mad at me! Did you try to convince them that there was an evil clone of you after them?
-Sky: I did and they did not believe me! And you know what, Alix!? I'm done! If they don't want me around, then that's fine by me! And guess what else!? I don't need any of them either, including you!
(Sky hangs up the phone and throws it away. He puffs angrily and runs away. After he does a mile of running, he eventually stops to catch his breath. He pants heavily as rain runs down from his skin and hair, his clothes drenched and his butter amulet dripping with droplets. He starts walking, away from the city and his problems, never looking back. Meanwhile, about 4 miles from where Sky is, Dawn is seen running throguh the forest, looking frantically around for her husband).
-Dawn: SKY!? SKY! SKY, WHERE ARE YOU? SKY!
(Dawn takes deep breathes as she resumes running through the woods. Meanwhile, Sky pads through a meadow. He looks up into the sky. He can faintly make-out the outline of the square moon. But soon, a couple of storm clouds roll in and make the moon disappear. Sky looks down and decides to take a set upon a nearby flat rock. He runs his hands through his soaking hair out of frustration. With each passing minute, hope diminished faster with each second. Sky was out of determination now. Soaked, heartbroken, depressed, and deterred by everything, Sky had now decided that all the problems in GeoCity were no longer his problems and he didn't have to deal with them anymore. Though the thought of leaving Dawn, Butter, and the Butter Golem to fend for themselves troubled him, he couldn't stand not having any friends to go on adventures with or do parkour with. He just couldn't stand it).
-Sky: (thinking) It's all over, Sky. You failed. Are you happy with yourself now? Leaving everyone you once cared about behind? You're pathetic. Just plain pathetic.
(Sky then moves until he is lying across the rock, letting the rain hit him with misery. Meanwhile, Dawn is still seen looking through the forest for Sky, not willing to stop for a break. She runs and runs until she comes across an empty meadow. She looks everywhere, but she doesn't see any signs that Sky was here. Just before she takes off again, she glances over to the north side of the meadow and sees a figure resting upon a flat rock. She squints her eyes to get a better view on who the figure was. She could make out the blue cape with a butter pickaxe stitched to it. She knew it was Sky).
-Dawn: (happily) SKY!
(Sky hears Dawn's voice and immediately gets up. He sees her running for him. He smiles with relief, knowing that his wife was still with him).
-Sky: Dawn!
(Sky gets up from the rock and runs for the muti-colored woman. As soon as they reach each other, they embrace and share a loving kiss. They remain like this for a while. As they are, some of the clouds in the air depart away, ceasing the rain in the meadow. Then, the moon is revealed again, shining its moonlight on the couple. After 10 minutes, they eventually break apart for air).
-Sky: Dawn...I'm sorry. I'm sorry I didn't tell you about this whole problem. It's just that I was afraid that you wouldn't believe me when I told you that there was an evil version of myself who was ruining my life.
-Dawn: Sky...I would've believed you. We're married. Anything you have to say, I will believe you...because I love you.
-Sky: (Sighs) I love you, too. Dawn.
(The couple share a hug once again. When they part, Sky grasps Dawn's hands).
-Sky: Come on, Dawn! We'll run away together from GeoCity for good! Leave everyone we don't care about anymore behind us! We'll find a new city and start our new lives there! Maybe get a butter house, and have a cow as a pet!
-Dawn: (chuckles) Sky...we have to go back.
-Sky: What!? But Dawn, there's no hope now. I lost all my friends, the evil version of me is taking over the city, and everyone in that suburb hates me now. It's hard enough that everyone dumped me because of the things that I didn't do to them, but I don't wanna lose you.
-Dawn: Sky...Pushing away the people who you care the most about isn't going to solve your problems, it's only going to make them harder.
-Sky: But what's the point? The city folk made their decision to exile me, so now, it's their problem, not mine.
-Dawn: If we don't help them out, everyone in GeoCity will die...including our friends. They must be regretting chasing you out now.
(Sky thinks this over for a bit. Some of his friends have been with him since they first met. Sky has been all about friendship and how many friends he had. He couldn't bear the thought of seeing their names on their gravestones. He snaps himself out of his thoughts).
-Sky: You're right, Dawn. But, how are we going to face against the Squid Army and me?
-Dawn: Simple. We face against the problem. And we don't give up until we have what we want; peace and control.
