Welcome to Minecraft You'll Never Leave...
Chapter 13
"This place doesn't look that much different from the overworld now does it?" Cry asked, looking around in wonder.
"Turn around." I said.
"Okay, why is that tree so big?"
"Because it's a magic tree." Ty said, smiling.
"Someone climb to the top so we can see what's there." Sky said.
"I will." Julianne said, morphing into a bird. We waited a few minutes until she came back. "I found two emerald blocks." She said, smiling as she morphed back into a human.
"Does everyone have a bird morph?" Sky asked. Everyone nodded. "Good." We started flying until we saw some yellow colored cows.
"Butter apple cows!" I said. "Does anyone have an empty critter cage?"
"I can make some." Deadlox said, pulling out a crafting bench. He took some iron and sticks, then pulled out a couple of cages.
"Thanks!" I said, throwing the cages at the poor cows. "Yes! Adam has caught butter cows!" Sky sighed.
"Corny jokes. There just had to be corny jokes." He said.
"C'mon lighten up will ya?" Deadlox asked.
"No, I don't wanna." Sky started flying away, Deadlox following behind him.
"What's his problem?" Ty asked.
"Dunno." I responded, watching the two fly away. "He must've woken up on the wrong side of the bed.
"That's probably it."
"We should go after them, we don't need them to get lost." Cry said, taking off.
"C'mon Ty!" I called, grabbing him.
"You don't have to drag me!" He retorted, breaking free of my grasp. "I can do this on my own!"
"Fine!" I let go.
"Thank you." He said, taking off as fast as he could. I followed behind until we saw SKy carrying an unconscious Deadlox.
"We found the tree, but the King's pretty pissed." Sky said. "Look what he did to Deadlox!" I looked closer and saw that he had burn marks all up and down his arms.
"Well, did you find anything useful?"
"Yeah, I found some uranium, titanium, and some duplicator trees.
"Duplicator trees?"
"Yeah, they duplicate blocks that you place near them."
"So, then we have unlimited ultimate stuff?" I asked, my eyes wide.
"Yep, now if you excuse me, I need to tend to Deadlox." He morphed back into himself, while pulling out bandages.
"Is he going to be okay?" Cry asked.
"Well, it's hard to tell now, but I'm pretty sure he will. After all he's been through worse."
"Worse than a giant dragon that can one hit kill you?!" I called out.
"Yeah, believe it or not. He has." His look gave me the impression that he was offended by what I said, so I looked around, hoping to find anything of use.
"Hey look! Peaches!" Sky looked up, and I stared at the person who looked like me but was so different. He finally started to apply bandages to Deadlox again.
"We can turn those into seeds right?" Ty asked.
"Yeah," I said, picking as many fuzzy fruits as I could. "You know I've always like peaches."
"Yeah," Ty said, and I expected to make some sort of joke that the author would have to censor.
You're not supposed to say stuff like that!
Oh, sorry.
You're not sorry.
You're right!
"Do you want to know why I've always liked peaches?"
"Sure." He told me why, and caused me to cringe. See, I told you...
I will kill you off!
You wouldn't dare.
"Guys! We gotta go!" Cry screamed, causing me to look over my shoulder.
I hate you.
I get that a lot.
We took off running, but the King seemed to only follow me.
How coincidental. It can somehow tell me and Sky apart.
Ty teleported me to him, right as one of the King's fireballs hit my leg. I gripped it, falling down.
"You okay?" Cry asked.
"I don't think I can walk."
"Great." Sky said, making more minecarts. "You're lucky I have enough iron for two minecarts."
"Well I'm sorry the King shot me. I'll make sure it doesn't happen again." Sky threw the minecart to Ty, who heaved me in it.
"What's his problem?" I asked Ty when we started moving again.
"I don't know." Ty responded, pulling the minecart behind him. "But whatever it is, it doesn't give him the right to be an ass hole." I nodded, inspecting my leg. It had stopped bleeding, but hurt when ever I tried to pour some water on it. "How's your leg doing?"
"Eh, I'm doing alright."
"Do I need to be surgeon Deadlox and cut it off?"
"No, I've seen your surgeon simulator games. I don't need you to get high while handling a saw."
"Yeah, you're probably right." He responded. "Just tell me when ever you need the best damn doctor ever."
"I'll keep that in mind." I sighed, laying my head back.
"You okay?" Ty asked.
"I don't know. I'm usually okay with people not liking me. Why is it different this time?"
"Probably because it's you not liking yourself."
"Maybe."
"I found an ant." Sky said, and we all crowded around it.
"So, how's Deadlox?" Julianne asked.
"He's doing okay." Sky said, looking down at Deadlox. His arms were bandaged up, but some blood was still seeping through. "I've never really been too good with applying bandages."
"I can see that." I mumbled, causing Sky to look at me. "What?"
"Nothing, let's just get back so I can fully heal Deadlox." We all touched the ant, and found ourselves in the middle of nowhere.
"Good thing I marked our house on the map." Sky said, leading the way.
When we got back to our house, Sky laid Deadlox down on his bed propping his head up with pillows.
"Hope you're okay buddy." He mumbled, then looked at me. "Could you get me some bread?"
"Sure," I handed him a couple of pieces of bread.
"Thanks," he took a bite out of one.
"Adam!" Julianne called.
"What?" I asked, walking towards her, Ty, and Cry.
"We can't find any beef!" She said. I looked over at Sky and Deadlox.
"Why are you looking over there?" Ty asked.
"Don't know, I just find it odd that all our beef is gone right when those two arrive."
"We didn't take it." Sky said, not even bothering to look our way. "We actually added food. You would have noticed that if you spent less time falsely accusing people." I looked down at the bread in my hand, remembering that we had none when they arrived, but I didn't want to apologize since...
You know, I actually don't know why. I just don't want to apologize. This place is really starting to change me. I don't like it.
"How's Deadlox doing?" Cry asked.
"He's recovering. I don't think he'll wake up soon, but he's recovering." Sky smiled. "I think he'll be okay."
Deadlox's eyes fluttered open.
"Adam, I had this weird dream..." He lifted his head. "Am I still dreaming? Cause there were two of us, and you, and you." He pointed to Cry and Julianne.
"No, you weren't dreaming."
"So, I actually was attacked by the king?"
"Yeah," Sky said, looking down. "Sorry about that."
"It's fine." A small smile formed on Deadlox's face. "Did we at least get what we needed?"
"Yeah, I have duplicator trees, so we'll be good on armor."
"So now all we have to do is kill all the other bosses."
"We should kill the Mothra first." I said. Sky and Deadlox looked at me.
"They're the easiest to kill. That and they give you a bunch of scales." Deadlox nodded, but Sky kept his cold glare.
"That seems like a good plan." Deadlox said, and Sky finally nodded.
"Yeah, guess we'll need to find a red ant."
Man, what is Sky's problem? I'll tell you right now Sky won't be an antagonist. You can rest easy tonight knowing a character you've known for over a year isn't going to become evil. I have made sure of that. As always, later Legends!
