Chapter 12: A Bad Pair Up
Hey guys sorry for not updating for- what's that? You just want to read the story? Okay, I'll just shut up then.. (;_;) *cry*
"Ehem- Chapter 12, A Bad Pair Up"
The sun was down, and the blocky moon took it's place. Most of the people in the village was asleep. But Jack is still awake. He can't rest because of his wounds, it's not that bad, it's just because Jack's body is extremely weak for a man, so he can't rest.
Jack who has most of his face and arm covered in bandages sighed and took a sip from a cup of coffee. Jack looked at the enderman who is sitting on a chair near him. The enderman looked at Jack for a second and looked away immediately.
"Tch." Jack took another sip of the coffee. Evan was lying on a chair near him, he was still awake. Jack is wearing a shirt given by the store owner, because his previous shirt is unusable anymore, thanks to the recent incident.
Jack looked at Evan. 'Jack has power to control fire, huh. Where did he get that?' He thought.
Then he tried to remember what happened for the past two days. 'And what's up with my vision? Who's that guy?' Jack thought while putting his hand on his face, covering his right eye. 'And on that battle with Henry, that's not prediction, I think that was a vision as well.' He thought. 'And that started happening since I drank the bottle.' Then he froze.
'Wait, when Evan got his power, my bottle was gone.' Jack stared at Evan. 'Could the bottle be the source of his power?' Jack thought.
"Hey, Evan." Jack whispered. Evan sat up and listened.
"How did you get your power?" Jack whispered and Evan was surprised because of this.
"I-I don't know." Evan answered nervously.
"Could it be.. that you drank the bottle I brought home?" Jack whispered, Evan froze.
"So you did, actually Evan. I think that the bottles is the source of our power."
"Wait, our?"
"Oh yeah, the truth is I've been seeing visions since I drank that bottle this morning." Jack told Evan.
"Whoa, really? So you got a power too?"
"Yeah, but I think the powers are different for each bottle."
"True, what kind of power do you get?" Evan asked Jack. Jack thought for a while trying to figure out what his power is.
"I think I can… predict my enemy's… movement? I don't know."
"Oh damn, that's cool!"
"Look who's talking." Jack sighed.
"Oh, I mean, it's not as cool as mine but. It's still very useful."
"And these bottles are lying on the streets. Can you imagine if a bad guy got a hold of it?"
Two bodies covered in blood is lying on the forest ground. Not too far from it there's a guy searching for something in what it seems to be the corpse's bag. The guy is wearing a mask and beside the guy there's a katana sword lying on the ground, also covered in blood.
After a while the guy stopped and pulled out a bottle from the bag. He laughed, picked up his sword and stood up. He swung his sword to clean the blood off and sheathed it. Then he opened the bottle and drank it. After a while he disappeared into the darkness of the night.
But then, one of the bodies moved. She whimpered and tried to crawl towards the other body. After she saw the body that was supposed to be her partner, she cried.
"Please help.." She whispered. With tears slowly going down her cheek.
"Geez, that stupid Jack! How dare he peeked on me!" Cupa exclaimed and hopped onto the bed. Not far from her, Silc is sitting in front of the table with hands over her face. Their faces are still red, remembering what just happened not too long ago.
"He saw me naked, now I can never get married." Cupa whispered. Silc heard this and looked at Cupa.
"Well, you can still marry him." Silc told Cupa. Cupa's eyes opened and a smile appeared on her face. She stood up from her bed and looked at Silc.
"You're right! I'll just need him to marry me!" Cupa giggled.
"Yes, but that also means that he has to marry me too….. And the other 12 girls from the bath." After hearing Silc's word Cupa expression changed and she sat back down on the bed.
"At least he complimented your body Cupa.." Silc tried to cheer her up. Cupa face lit up.
"I-I'm going to sleep!" Cupa shouted and put blankets over her face. Silc sighed and put her head on the table. She thought for a while and looked at herself.
"At least he complimented yours. I wonder what he thinks about mine…" Silc with a frown on her face. Her face lit up and she covered her face with her hands.
"What am I thinking?! I'm still too young for this! But he did saw it. I hope you'll take responsibility for this Jack.." She thought.
"Jack! Jack! Wake up bro." Lucas tried to wake Jack up by shaking his shoulder.
"Huh? Um, yes! I'm awake." Jack rubs his eyes and stood up.
"Thank you sir! For letting us stayed at your house!" Evan waved at the shopkeeper and ran out. The other followed him too. The enderman waved at them and teleported away.
"It seems that his enderpearl has regenerated, huh Jack?" Lucas pat Jack on his back to wake him up.
"Huh? Yeah, I don't really care." Jack replied with his eyes half-closed.
"Don't be like that Jack." Lucas chuckled. Jack followed the group for a while until he realized where they are going.
"Whoa! Whoa!" Jack stopped the group. They looked at him with confused looks.
"Where do you think we're going?" Jack asked them.
"Where? Your house of course." They all replied. A short pause appeared and they looked at Jack's worried expression.
"Oh." They all gasped simultaneously, remembering what just happened last night.
"So where should we go now?" They all looked at each other.
"I know! Let's do another quest!" Jack suggested.
A girly figure covered in a cloak is holding a piece of paper with writings on it.
"The pyromancer eh?" The girl chuckled. She crumpled the paper and threw it away.
"Let's see how strong he is." She walked slowly through the trees with a girl following her.
[Evan]
"Phew! Gathering apples are a piece of cake!" Jack exclaimed. As I was waiting for the guy to give us the payment to the quest we just completed.
"Why can't we do a kill quest?" Keith complained.
"We can't just go around killing mobs Keith, that's not how it supposed to works!" Jack answered Keith.
"Thank you sir." I took the sack of coins from the guy. I peeked inside it. There's 20 iron coins in it. I sighed.
"Let's go home guys." I suggested.
"What? Right now?" Jack sounds nervous. I walked outside and the others followed me.
"Hey wait!" Jack followed me too.
"Are you sure you don't want to do something else first?" Jack tried to buy time for himself.
"We already spent more than 2 hours searching for apples…" I told Jack, and he sighed. We were searching apples on trees for 2 hours until Lucas get mad and cut down a tree. That's when Jack remembered that he also got an apple from chopping down a tree before. If he's not already beaten up I would punch him.
As we were walking through the crowds I noticed something, a little shop. I walked towards it, the others noticed me and followed me. I stopped in front of it.
"What is it Evan?" Lucas asked me. I looked around the shop that seems to be empty.
"Yeah, Evan lets go home. Do you have something you want to buy or something?" Keith asked me.
"Oi Keith! Just let him focus for a bit! Evan go take your time." Jack smiled. I sighed and turned around.
"Let's just go home." Jack seemed disappointed. As I was about to exit the shop a voice can be heard from inside the shop.
"Wait! Wait!" I turned around and saw a little boy running towards me.
"Wait mister! Are you a customer?" He asked me while panting.
"Um, yeah?" I answered him.
"Good! Come in come!" The boy leaded us deeper into the shop and into the room. In the room there was fancy-looking potions sitting on tables. We looked at the potions.
"Well see anything you like?" The boy rubbed his hands together. Suddenly Jack gasped. I looked towards him quickly. He noticed me and pointed at a potion on a distant table. I looked at where he was pointing and saw something. It was a bottle. A strange looking bottle. Not like what I drank or Jack drank. But a little bit different.
Jack walked towards it and picked it up.
"Hey kid! Where did you get this?" Jack asked the shopkeeper.
"Oh that? I found it near a fountain, it looks like a potion so I picked it up!"
"There's no doubt about it, that must be one of those weird potions that made me like this. With that bottle.. I can-" Jack suddenly twisted the bottle cap, and I realized that I made a mistake.
I leaped towards Jack, trying to stop him. Jack noticed me and dodged.
"Dude!" Jack yelled at me.
"Don't drink that!"
"I found it first!" He pushed me away and drank the potion. My eyes widened as he emptied the bottle. Everybody was staring at us. Jack smiled and a pause occurred.
*pop*
Suddenly Jack's head disappeared, what's left are his bandages that were covering his forehead and his clothes.
"AH!" All of us screamed.
"Huh?" The floating bandages moved.
"Oh, so that's what it is!" The shopkeeper exclaimed.
"It was just an invisibility potion!"
"Invisibility?" All of us asked simultaneously.
"Yes, it renders the user invisible for a short time.." He explained.
"Invisible?" A voice came from Jack's body.
"Oh, so it's just a normal Minecraft potion.. that surprised me.." I sighed in relief.
We all walked outside the store after we paid Jack's potion.
"Wow thank Jack for wasting our payment immediately." Lucas sarcastically scolded Jack.
"I didn't know okay? I thought it was a… potion that I liked…" Jack answered with his body still invisible.
"A potion you liked?" Keith asked Jack.
"Oh it's a potion of… swiftness." I answered Keith.
"Oh.. that potion. Understandable I guess, I mean your weapon is a knife right? I guess agility is good for you." Said Keith.
"Y-yeah exactly!" Jack answered. The street aren't as crowded as before. It's kinda spacey to be honest.
As we were walking we noticed a figure from the distance. He was wearing a cloaked that covered his entire body, and his upper face. I stopped because I thought that he has a business with us. The others stopped and noticed the guy too.
"What do you want?" I shouted instinctively. I'm hoping for a response because it will be crazy embarrassing if he's just a bystander. A short pause occurred and he put his, oh wait, it's actually a girl.
"I've been looking for you. Pyromancer!" She shouted with a smile on her face.
"I've been looking for you. Pyromancer!" A pause occurred between me and the group.
"Oh shit, is he not the pyromancer? Then this will be the third time I've been wrong! I'm so embarrassed, I hope they didn't think I was talking to them. But they did asked me first.. Oh please, be the pyromancer!" I thought with sweat all over my face.
"Pyromancer?" The boy in front asked me.
"Oh shit… I got the wrong guy.."
"Um no, nevermind, I was just talking to my-" Suddenly one of them whispered something to his ear.
"Ohh… so that's what it is.. Well you got me! I AM THE PYROMANCER!" He spread his hands.
"What? Is he an idiot? Nevermind that, finally I've found him."
"I-I've finally found you! Evan the Pyromancer!" I stuttered.
"Yes you've found me!" He answered again. It seems that he regret his action just then.
"Wait who are you actually?" He lower his hands. I smiled. I raised my right hand and pointed towards him and shouted.
"I'm the one, who is going to-" My vision zoomed and I saw myself in the distance.
"Take your place.." I grinned as I finished my sentence in Evan's body.
End of Chapter 12
Finally, I could add some bad guys in. Some of them aren't really bad… nor guys. But you get the point. Can you figure out the mysterious girl's power? Of course not, It's super hard, a kid like you wouldn't be able to figure it out :D
Bonus:
"Oh no I think I got the wrong guy again... Wait, does that guy has no head?"
