The Warrior:
A Minecraft/Mob Talker Story
Chapter 13:
The Attack, The Ally, and The Transformation
When Emily and I woke up, it was morning on the next day. We went downstairs and saw everyone was sitting at the table, eating breakfast. We joined them, and when we were done we went about our daily business. It was around noon by the time we finished, and we all went inside to talk and relax.
About an hour later, Lobo suddenly stood up. When I asked what was wrong he simply ran out the front door! We followed and then heard what Lobo had inside, the screams of the villagers. We looked on in shock as the village was attacked; I was the first to snap out of it and rallied the others to follow me as we ran into the town.
When we reached the town square, there was an army of mobs fighting the village soldiers and we rushed in to help. We fought hard and lasted about two hours before we were surrounded. Just as the mobs started to close in though, a screech was heard from the outer edge of the circle. All the mobs turned towards it just in time to see a pale, 18 year old guy with brown hair and green eyes and a girl with electric blue hair and brown riding what my dad called a 'motorcycle', although this one was obviously quite different from the ones he described. For starters, it was white with obsidian purple flames running along one side, but black with red flames on the other. The exhaust pipes on the white side formed something that looked like an 'angel' wing and the pipes on the black one formed a 'demon' one. On top of all that, there were some cylinders the same color as the flames of their respective side with sets of smaller pipes with stands under his feet that rapidly fired a volley of arrows when he put his foot down. And as if all that still wasn't enough, instead of wheels it had some kind of thrusters! Right in front of the handlebars there was a metallic white eagle's head with a black beak and a set of two black lightning-shaped horns sweeping back from the sides of its head.
The kid riding it struck fast and hard and took out a majority of the mobs before coming to what would have been a screeching stop if the 'motorcycle' had wheels. He and the girl got off and the thing glowed for a second before turning into a giant white bald eagle with black lightning bolts running along its wings, black legs, purple eyes, and red at the tip of each and every feather. There was a leathery spine, similar to that of a 'spinosaurus' but black, running along its back. It flew into the battle and started shredding the monsters with its talons and claws while the guy signaled for the girl to take cover while he pulled out what looked like a suitcase. He pressed a button on the handle and the majority of the case dropped away, leaving a sword blade attached directly to its underside and what looked like several small rods attached underneath that. He pressed another button and the smaller rods dropped like rope before he flicked his wrist up and they locked into place to form a longer staff. He pressed one last button and turned the handle of the case around so that the blade was fully exposed and he was holding some kind of spear before running in to help the eagle.
With a majority of the mobs down, my allies and I were able to help finish the job. The battle lasted about 20 minutes and when we were finished, there wasn't a single mob left standing.
The eagle shrank down a little bit and flew over to the boy while the girl ran over and hugged him.
"You okay Adam?" She asked.
"I'd be...Better if I...Could breath!" He gasped out in reply the girl let go and the guy took a few deep breaths before standing up as the eagle landed on his shoulder, which had leather armor over it. He was wearing a shirt with a similar color scheme as his 'pet' in bike mode. The black denim vest had a collar that went halfway up his face, and also had a red feather-like covering around the right cuff. Along his sleeve above that and running up to his shoulder was a white vine like pattern. His jeans looked to be very loose around the ankles and were patterned similarly to the jacket, except they were white and had purple feathers with black vines running up his left leg rather than the right.
He pressed the buttons on his weapon again and it collapsed before he attached the rest of the suitcase back to the handle. Then he walked over to us.
"Is everybody okay?" He asked.
"We're fine, thanks to you." I replied.
"Good, we saw all the smoke and flew over on Ryder here as fast as we could." He reached up and stroked the eagle's head as he said this. "Oh man I am so sorry! I haven't even introduced myself! My name's-" he started to say something before his eagle suddenly flew off his shoulder and toward Jack, who had just come out of his house with Sierra on his shoulders. When Sierra saw the eagle, she jumped off of Jack and flew right at it! Just when it looked like things were about to get ugly, Sierra and the eagle both started to glow and stopped in midair!
When the glow subsided, Sierra and the eagle were gone! Standing where Sierra had been was a tan teenage girl with red hair, blue eyes, and a slim figure wearing skintight jeans and a black tank top. And in the eagle's place, there was a pale guy who looked about the same age with black hair, green eyes, and a slightly more built body wearing a pair of much looser brown cargo pants and a red t-shirt.
"It is you Sierra! Where have you been?!" The guy asked.
"I could as you the same question Ryder!" She asked.
"Whoah, whoah, whoah hold up! What's going on here?!" Jack asked the girl. She turned around and he gasped in surprise. "Sierra! I thought you were stuck as a dragon!"
"HOLD THE PHONE HERE PEOPLE!" I shouted. Everyone jumped and looked at me in shock. "Sorry, but could somebody please for the love of Pete please explain to me what the *# $ this is all about?!"
"Sorry Danny. This is what I looked like before the car crash killed me on earth. I'm normally stuck in dragon form, but when Ryder and I flew at each other our combined energy was enough to help us change back." Sierra explained to me.
"Well whatever the cause, I'm glad to have my brother back to his old self." The new guy said as he walked over and put a hand on Ryder's shoulder. "But as I was saying before, my name's Adam. Over there is my girlfriend Liz." As he introduced her Liz came over and stood next to him. She was similar in stature to Sierra and was wearing a red silk shirt under a grey leather trench coat that had no sleeves. Her jeans were very loose around her legs and she was wearing some black and blue sneakers.
"It's nice to meet you all, but I get the sense that something's bothering you Jack." I said.
"Yeah. Our house was destroyed. Now we don't have a place to go..."
"They could stay with us." Emily whispered to me, I nodded and put the question to Jack.
"Well I don't want to impose..." He said before Adam tapped him on the shoulder.
"Hey, we've got plenty of room at my place. And any friend of Ryder's is a friend of mine."
"Yeah, Sierra and him were a couple...I don't wanna throw salt on an old wound though and-"
"What do you mean? It's not like they broke up or anything."
"Oh yeah...Well, thanks. I'll go let Beth and Allison know. Where do we meet up?"
"Meet me at the church, and then we'll head over there. It's about a 2 minute walk southeast from the village."
"Thanks man. See you then."
He walked off and then Adam turned to us. He spotted my arm right off the bat and asked me to follow him. I told my friends I'd be right back and we went to a spot not to far from the blacksmith's.
"So, what's with you making fun of Alex Kinoten's signature weapon?" He said in a slight growl.
"For the love of...Not this crap again!" I replied. "Every time someone sees me with Tech here, they think I'm trying to make fun of my dad. But he's the one who bonded us!"
"Your dad?! Hold the phone! Are you saying-"
"Yeah. I'm Alex Kinoten's son."
He looked me in the eyes for a moment, and then burst out laughing!
"Well now! It's good to see you Cousin!" He said as he put out his hand. I was confused as Nether and backed away a little bit.
"Cousin?! What are you talking about?!"
"Rot is my dad. That makes Alex my uncle, and you my cousin!"
"You're kidding right?"
"Nope. You can call Uncle Alex with that crystal he gave you to confirm if you want."
"As a matter of fact, I think I will." As I said this I pulled the crystal out of my pocket and put it on the ground. I activated it, but instead of an image of Mom and Dad, there was static and a message saying that they had guests in the throne room and that I should not deactivate because they would finished in about 5 minutes.
"Well, crap. Hey wait a minute! How did you know about the crystal?!" I asked Adam in surprise. He laughed and pulled out a gem that looked like mine but was green!
"Dad gave me one too. He also brought Ryder back in eagle form from your realm, with your dad's permission of course." He explained that he was in a similar situation to my dad when he first arrived here; he had lived with his mom for most of his life and never known who his dad was. When he found out it was my Uncle Rot, or so he said, he immediately chose to live with him. He was about to say more, but then my crystal started to make a strange humming sound and I turned to see that the message had changed to say: "The king and queen are now ready. Please 'restart' to begin contact."
I did and this time Mom and Dad came through.
"Hello Danny, is everything alright?" Mom asked.
"Well that depends. This guy Adam claims to be Uncle Rot's son and-"
"You know, it isn't polite to talk about someone as if they aren't there if they are." Adam said as he stepped into view.
"Well, well, well! Hello there Adam! How long has it been Spectra, 15 years?" Dad said to my surprise.
"Yes, that seems about right. The last time we saw you was when we visited Rot on earth before he had to come back and help keep the 'undead' in check." Mom answered, then they turned to look at us. "But how did you two meet up? I never would have guessed that this would happen!"
"Before we start, let me ask something here. Why don't I remember you Adam?" I asked.
"Well, our dads' kingdoms are kinda far away from each other. My dad's is in between this dimension and the land of the dead. It's kind of like a barrier that keeps the dead in their land and the few that slip by the first layer normally get stuck there. The very few that slip past the second layer manage to come here, but they are not the same as they once were because of the toll breaking through it takes on a spirit. They become the hostile mobs we all know, brainless creatures with only a primal instinct to kill." He told me.
"Also, the last time you saw each other Danny, you were only a year old. I doubt that you can remember that far back." Mom added.
"Oh, well...sorry for doubting you Adam." I said while rubbing the back of my neck embarrassedly.
"You're fine. But I think we got side-tracked. We should probably explain what happened."
I told mom and dad my side of the story. Lobo running out, the battle, being surrounded, and then Adam's dramatic entrance. When I was finished, Adam told them his side of the story. He had apparently been out collecting some wood with Ryder and Liz when Ryder started going crazy and flew off in the direction of the village. When they came out of the woods and saw the smoke, Ryder changed into his bike form and they flew over as fast as they could.
"I've never seen that many mobs break through before, Uncle. I'm kind of worried about Dad and-" Adam began to say before my dad cut him off with a wave.
"Don't worry. I'll attempt to contact him tonight and see what happened. But if my sense of time is still in tune, it should be getting late there. You should probably both head home and get some rest."
"Thanks Uncle. I have to meet up with Jack and his family so we can bring them over. Their house was wrecked and now they'll be staying with us."
"Good bye Adam, and tell Jack that I'm sorry for his loss."
"See you later."
He walked off and I was bout to cut the communication when Mom stopped me.
"I'm sorry we never told you Danny. We had no idea Adam was there as well and-"
"You're fine Mom. I'm sure you would have told me if you had known. At least now I know that I have family up here with me now. But while I've still got your attention, there's something I need to ask."
"And what might that be?" Dad asked.
"I wanted to ask that you find a spirit called Rysek. He needs to be punished." After I said that, I explained what had happened. My mom gasped and Dad was furious.
"Why that no good son of a- Don't worry son! We'll make him suffer for this!" He said.
"Thanks dad, but do me a favor...Make sure he's kept under top security, I think he might escape otherwise."
"Right. I thank you for telling us all this Danny. Now we must go."
I cut the link and then went back home with everyone. When we went into our rooms, I saw Stella sneaking into Jet's but paid it no mind, I figured that she was probably going to tell him how she felt and from the way that they acted around each other, I was pretty sure he felt the same way towards her.
Emily and I laid down in bed and snuggled together. We wound up making out for a while, and when we pulled back, she was smiling and snuggled her head deeper into my chest.
"I love you Danny." She whispered.
"I love you too Emily." I replied as we fell asleep.
