OMG HUSKY ACTUALLY TALKED TO ME! I was on the thing that Husky was on two nights ago, and he actually talked to me! I have the evidence!
Ninjamaster01: HuskyMUDKIPZ how u doing dood? just watched ur hide and seek "nips" video it was freakin funny
HuskyMUDKIPZ: pretty good ninja, hbu?
I can't freaking believe that that happened! And I have Eagle as a witness, cuz she was over my shoulder when he typed that to me! TOTAL FANGIRL MOMENT! I was literally like freaking out… just ask Eagle she will tell you how hard I was fangirl-ing at that moment.
Anyways, here is Chapter Twelve!
Sky's POV-
It actually didn't take us long to get ready for battle. Terra and Bajan helped me back to AirBlock City, where I could see a lot of damage had happened. Obviously it was hard for the YOGSCAST team to keep the five imposters at bay. Luckily, they had managed to knock them all out, and they all were gagged and tied in the main building, where they could be watched constantly. When we got back, we quickly gathered the rest of the recruits (which was actually quite a bit of recruits considering how many were taken by Herobrine), and equipped them all with enchanted budder swords. Decking out in full budder, diamond, and iron armor, we were ready to battle Herobrine within an hour.
Terra's budder apple works miracles, it really does. I was able to walk by myself before we left to go to battle. I gazed around the city from where I stood, and all I could see were recruits walking around, readying themselves for the battle. They were running back and forth between the storage units, to the hospital to grab potions, and to the weaponry. I smiled as I watched this happen. These were the recruits that I liked: recruits willing to fight for their freedom and others freedoms, knowing that there is a high chance that they will die trying to win. They were true heroes.
Jerome, Bajan, Sierra, Marz, and Yoshi walked up to me, and I turned to look at them. Jerome and Bajan's black eyes were going away, which was good on their part. Yoshi, who was badly injured from the battle with the giant Squids, was completely healed, and he held his staff in hand, which was repaired by one of the YOGSCAST craftsmen. Marz and Sierra both looked worn out and tired, but they were completely geared out and ready for battle. Both of their amulets sparkled in the rising sunlight, which only reminded me one of the main reasons why we had to find and kill Herobrine.
"Sky, the recruits are ready for battle. All 24 million of them," Bajan then said, smiling towards me.
"24 million? I thought a lot more went missing," I then said, sheathing my butter sword again after I polished it.
Yoshi quickly shook his head. "No, only a couple million returned to AirBlock City. The rest were hiding down in the woods and surrounding areas, frightened, but ready for battle. They all thought that we were dead," The dinosaur boy then said, twirling his staff in his right hand.
"Well, guess they were wrong there," I muttered, which made the others smile slightly. Right then, I turned around, and I saw Deadlox running up to me, with the main YOGSCAST leaders right behind him. The leftover recruits that were in the hospital with me earlier this morning were close behind, decked in all butter and diamond armor.
I looked to all my friends, feeling pride swelling up in my chest. They all were determined to win this battle, even if it meant that they were going to die. "So, are we going to battle against Herobrine now?" Lewis asked, smiling slightly towards me. The rest of his friends nodded, and all looked to me in excitement.
"Let's go kick some King of Nether butt," I then said, and a moment later, everyone broke out into cheers.
Husky's POV-
When I came to consciousness once more, I looked around, groaning in pain. My head was throbbing, probably as a result from being knocked out by that strange gas… what was that stuff anyways? I couldn't worry about it right then, though. It was right then that I noticed that I was chained to the wall, and all around me, I could see more recruits and friends of mine tied up as well. I struggled in my bonds, and then a moment later, I heard a deep voice say, "There is no use doing that… you won't be able to get out."
My head whipped towards the voice, and about ten blocks below me, I saw Herobrine standing there. He had an amused smile on his face, which only angered me further. "Herobrine! What is the meaning of all of this!? Let us down from here!" I yelled, moving around in my chains.
"Why should I listen to a pathetic fool like you, HuskyMUDKIPZ? Besides, it will only ruin the fun if I let you guys down from there," Herobrine then said, chuckling evilly beneath his breath. All of a sudden, I saw something glimmer off of his chest. Squinting my eyes, I soon realized that it was an amulet… one that had a purple gem in the center and was surrounded by budder. I gasped. That was Sky's amulet, the one and only like it that was created.
"What did you do to Sky?" I gasped out, frightened by the idea of Sky, the greatest hero that had ever lived in Minecraftia, dead.
"Sky's not dead, you idiot. I only needed his amulet to continue my plan," Herobrine purred, then floating up to me and running his rough fingers across my chin line.
Jerking my head away, I then saw Eagle across the room from me. Chained next to her were gr8job and Wolfstar. I froze when I saw her. They all looked horrible, but Eagle looked the worst. Her head was hung low, and she was singing under her breath, although I could only see her jaw moving ever so slightly. Herobrine saw me looking behind him, and the King of the Nether turned around as well. I quickly lowered my gaze, but Herobrine saw who I was looking at. An evil smile lit his face right then.
"Well, well, well, the Pokémon Minecrafter has a little crush on one of the recruits. How sweet. She will be the first to die then," Herobrine hissed, which then made my eyes widen in fright.
"Please, do anything else you like, just don't kill her," I begged, feeling the chains digging into my skin. It wasn't very comfortable hanging from a wall.
Herobrine then floated away slightly, laughing evilly. "I don't have to listen to you, nor anyone else in here, Husky. But you might want to have your last words with your lover right now, while I am going to proceed with my plan." Right then, Herobrine grasped onto Sky's amulet, and then he vanished from the chamber.
Immediately afterwards, some of the other recruits stirred around. They had been conscious the whole time; they were just acting unconscious so they didn't get Herobrine to talk to them. Pastel, the girl that travelled with SethBling, was next to me, and she looked over to me. Immediately, her eyes changed from the previous void white color (which I found very creepy) to a dark indigo. "Husky, we are all going to die… I can't believe we have to die now. The last way I imagined myself dying was by the hands of Herobrine himself…" She started, then shivering slightly.
I nodded slightly, and then I looked across the room to Eagle. I was able to hear the song that she was singing, because several other recruits had joined in with her. "I'm gearing up; it's time to face the ni-ght. Monsters join to take my li-fe. Welcome to the new world, to the new world, welcome to the new world, to the new world. Wooo-ooah, wooo-ooah, I'm surviving, I'm surviving. Wooo-ooah, wooo-ooah, I'm surviving, I'm surviving." Soon, the whole cavern was in song, most of them singing the tune of the song, other doing the harmony to the song.
"I take my aim, I grab my bow, it's a victory, creepers know; we'll take their heads, stack them up, woooah. I'm mining in, setting out, looking out for the creepers. This is in, playing Minecraft, woooah.
"I'm gearing up; it's time to face the ni-ght. Monsters join to take my li-fe. Welcome to the new world, to the new world, welcome to the new world, to the new world. Wooo-ooah, wooo-ooah, I'm surviving, I'm surviving. Wooo-ooah, wooo-ooah, I'm surviving, I'm surviving.
"All levels gone, I lost the fight, why didn't I think, it's not safe at night?" Eagle sang all by herself, everyone else humming the softer part of the song. All of a sudden, the room broke out into the chorus once again. I could hear higher harmonies, lower harmonies, and many people singing in place of the instruments of the songs.
"I'm gearing up; it's time to face the ni-ght. Monsters join to take my li-fe. Welcome to the new world, to the new world, welcome to the new world, to the new world. Wooo-ooah, wooo-ooah, I'm surviving, I'm surviving. Wooo-ooah, wooo-ooah, I'm surviving, I'm surviving."
I looked over to Eagle, who had glanced up to me while everyone else was finishing the music of the song. It was amazing, to hear over 5 million people singing their hearts out. Many mobs outside the prison were angry, trying to keep us quiet. But they can't stop 5 million people from singing. I saw a tear in the corner of her eye, and then she smiled to me. "Husky, if we are going to die today, I'm glad that I met you, along with everyone else here. I don't know what my life would be like without you guys in my life," Eagle then said, smiling towards me.
I didn't nod; I just then broke into song once again. Everyone had quieted down once again, so everyone could hear me clearly. "You gotta know, you have to fight. Learn to play, there's mobs but it's not night. A wooden sword won't do it, they're gonna blast right through it! If you've got a potion, use it!" I sang, which instantly got several other people to join in with me. All of the leaders joined in with me for the next part, while the recruits all hummed the beat and music of the song.
"So watch your back, I won't warn you twice! Fight the Ghast, OOOOOH, make me cry. They'll shoot the ground around you, making holes to fall through. You know you're probably gonn-ooh, ah ah eeh yea!" Right after, the whole room broke into song, harmonies surrounding us completely.
"Feels like Hell the things I've just been through, won't believe a word when I tell you, know what screw the Nether, you know what screw the Nether, you know what screeee-eeeeew the Nether. Can't believe I lost my new gear too, think I'd better come and rejoin you, know what screw the Nether, you know what screw the Nether, you know what screeee-eeeeew the Nether!" At this, several mobs came in, and began to yell at us in another language. But we all just laughed.
"If we're gonna die, we are going to go out having fun," I heard Bashur say, which then made everyone else agree. I smiled to myself. Even though we were so close to our imminent death, it was the best time that we all had had before while away from our homes and families. I was never going to forget about this moment, if I ever did get out alive.
Deadlox's POV-
Recruits were pouring from the city in the sky, running towards the portal to the Nether. I was at the front with Sky and the other remaining leaders, holding my budder sword tightly in hand. I could easily hear several cried going out, most of them either belonging to the YOGSCAST recruits or the Sky Army recruits. But, I could hear some battle cries from AviatorGaming, SethBling, AntVenom, ExplodingTNT, CaptainSparklez, YouAlwaysWin, SeaNanners, and Minecraft Finest's recruits.
We were closing in upon the portal, when all of a sudden, the ground below us shook dangerously. Everyone froze in place, confusion taking over them. I looked to the Nether portal, which was only a couple hundred blocks in front of me, and I could see a strange red beam pouring out of it. The sky rumbled, and then I saw red spread throughout the blue, as if it were paint. The previously white clouds turned black, and anything colored turned purple, red, orange, or black. The ground around us turned an ugly shade of brown, and all of the grass shriveled up and died within seconds.
"What the Nether is going on?" I heard Danny cry out, and then I heard a lot of recruits beginning to mutter. I shot a quick look over to Sky, whose eyes were wide in fright.
"What is going on, Sky?" I asked, looking over to my best friend in worry.
Gulping in right then, he then quietly said, "Herobrine is using my necklace to move the Nether to the Overworld… he is taking over the Overworld completely. That was his plan… that was his plan all along. With all of the recruits that he has taken, he will use them as slaves to build his evil kingdom, and once he has taken out all of the important leaders that could possibly stop him, he will take over Minecraftia completely. We only helped his plan when we gathered all 30 million recruits together to fight against him… this is all my fault."
"Sky, stop blaming yourself for everything that has gone wrong! Nothing was your fault. We didn't know that Herobrine would want the recruits as slaves, and we especially didn't know that he was going to take over the Overworld," Terra then cried out, grasping onto Sky's arm quickly.
Sky pulled his arm away from Terra's grip, and then he stepped forward, completely alone. We all stared at him. After a moment of deep breathing, Sky then said, "I have to stop this… he wants me dead, not everyone else. I'm… I'm going to go in alone."
Immediately, we all disagreed with his plan. "That is preposterous!" GameChap cried out, staring in shock at Sky.
"You can't possibly go in there alone, Sky. You will die!" Kim cried out, and several other people copied her afterwards.
I then stepped forward, which calmed the chaos slightly. Walking up to Sky, I then connected gazes with him. I grasped onto his shoulder, and then I quietly said, "Sky, you are not going to go in there alone, man. No matter if you try to stop us, we will not let you go to your possible death. We are going to stop Herobrine and rescue our friends all together, as a team, like we have been since you created the Sky Army."
A slight smile appeared on the Budder Lord's face. "You guys are complete idiots for following me into battle. Are you sure you all want to take this chance to stop Herobrine?" He asked, looking to all of us remaining leaders. He looked at me, Winter, Summer, Danny, Max, Jordan, Ocean, Yoshi, iEcho, Daniella, Terra, Marz, Bajan, Sierra, Jerome, Lewis, Simon, Ridgedog, Nilesy, Hannah, Duncan, Martyn, Strippin, Kim, Parv and GameChap. We all nodded, and then Sky smiled towards us. He then rose his budder sword high into the air, and then he cried out, "FOR SKY ARMY!" Everyone copied his battle cry, and then we poured into the Nether portal.
Jerome's POV-
The first second that we stepped into the Nether, we were fighting. Mobs began to run straight towards us, anger lighting their cruelly crafted faces. Within the first fifteen seconds, we had killed over a hundred mobs. The recruits spanned out around us, charging at every single mob that ran towards us. The archers shot at the Ghasts and the Blazes, killing them with a couple shots each of their enchanted Infinity Bows. The ground fighters ran towards the rest of the mobs, slicing at everything except for their fellow fighters.
"Jerome, behind you!" I heard Mitch cry out. I turned around, and in one swift motion, I sliced upwards, killing the Squids that were joining the battle.
"Freaking Squids… I will never again be able to look at Squids the same when we return home from fighting for three years," I muttered, then turning to Mitch. "Thanks, biggums." Mitch smiled, and then Sierra ran up to us. I smiled when I saw her. Even though she was coated in blood from the various mobs that she was killing, she still looked amazing.
"Jerome, Mitch, come on! We need to help Sky get to Herobrine's castle!" Sierra cried out, then pointing with her sword towards the giant building that was in the distance. The two of us nodded, and then we ran forward, slicing at everything that got in our way. All I could hear around me was the sounds of dying mobs, injured humans, and the lava sizzling and cracking. It was a sound I wasn't going to forget easily.
We soon caught up to Sky, who looked exhausted. He hadn't got much rest because of his broken ribs, and fighting must have worn him down horribly. "Come on, let's get to the castle!" He cried out, and then the main leaders nodded. We all ran towards the building, charging through everything as fast as we could possibly go. "RECRUITS, STAND YOUR GROUND AND USE YOUR SWORDS!" Sky yelled to the remaining recruits as he battled a couple of Zombie Pigmen that were charging towards us.
All of a sudden, I stopped when I saw something in front of us. We had a huge obstacle to get past… and I mean huge. A sea of lava surrounded the Nether Fortress, gladly welcoming in any unlucky person that accidentally fell into the lava. The rest of the leaders caught up to us, and then I heard a couple of them cuss in annoyance. "Why does there have to be a freakin' sea of lava surrounding the Nether Fortress?" I heard Duncan cry out.
Deadlox then took out some dirt blocks that he had stored in his inventory. "I can make us a bridge quickly," Deadlox then said, getting ready to crouch down next to the burning lava.
"No, don't do that Deadlox. There is a bridge on the other side of the Nether… we will have to fight our way over there. But it will be faster and possibly safer than building a small bridge across the lava," Daniella then cried out, who I actually didn't notice was there before. She didn't have her cloak on, and she actually looked really good when she didn't have the cloak on all the time. But right then, I saw something peculiar poking out the back of her chest armor. It almost looked white, and it had feathers…
"Wait, Daniella, are you an angel?" I asked, then looking towards the girl.
"I only have wings, I'm not actually an angel. But now is not the time to discuss this! We have to get inside the Nether Fortress and stop Herobrine from taking over the whole world!" She cried out, then breaking into a run when we saw a bunch of Wither Skeletons appear at the tops of the castle walls. They began to shoot towards us, but we were fast to run away. We fought our way over to the bridge, making it over there considerably easier than I thought it was going to be. We crossed the Netherbrick bridge, and quickly crossed into the territory of the King of the Nether. I stopped in my tracks when I realized how high the castle was placed. It rose about a thousand blocks in the air, and I didn't realize that where the rest of the recruits were fighting it was about two thousand blocks below us.
Sky breathed in, and then he gripped onto his budder sword tighter than he did before. I then heard Sky mutter something under his breath. It took me a moment to realize that he had said:
"Herobrine, it's time to end this… once and for all."
Ninja's POV-
I ran straight into a room with a giant piston door. It opened on its own as I stepped towards us. I walked courageously in, not afraid to fight for myself if I had to. When inside, I then became shocked. What I saw was definitely a key point to my anger.
Chained side by side in several straight lines was everyone that had disappeared from the Sky Army base. Out of all of them, Wolf, Eagle, and gr8job looked to be in the worst condition. They all had their heads hung low, as if they were sleeping. Some of them looked dead, though, which only angered me further.
"I expected Sky to come, but at least I found someone especially powerful," I then heard a menacing voice say from somewhere above me. Looking up, I then saw Herobrine floating about thirty blocks above me, smiling wickedly to me.
"Herobrine!" I screamed, then taking out my diamond axe. I leapt into the air, jumping 30 blocks before my axe and his sword clashed together. We both back flipped down to the ground, both of us landing softly on the ground. My eyes were no longer red, there were tiny dancing flames in them. They were definitely not reflections, that much I knew for sure.
The sound of my shout must have awoken the recruits, because they all stirred, and stared at me in shock and awe.
I shot a bolt of lightning from my fingertips towards the King of the Nether. He simply flicked it away. He then returned fire, throwing a ball of fire towards me. I grabbed the burning flame with my bare hand, spun around, and launched it back towards him. Looking over to the recruits, I then caught several surprised looks from the "audience" that we had. They all were probably wondering how I did that. They can't know… I thought to myself quickly, then returning my attention back to the King of the Nether. I cried out, then charging towards Herobrine. I gladly let my demonic side fully take control of my body.
We fought right there in that giant cavern for quite some time. I didn't get as injured as I thought I was going to, although Herobrine appeared to not even be breaking a sweat. "You will certainly be a useful soldier against Sky and his remaining recruits," Herobrine hissed, a powerful and evil smile flashing across his lips.
I charged again towards him, quickly crossing the room. I had my axe raised to slash him, when Herobrine all of a sudden grabbed me by the shirt and threw me against the far wall. My head bounced against the wall, and I quickly felt my body slip into unconsciousness.
When I woke up, I was standing in a small room of Netherbrick. Looking around, I quickly realized that I was not alone. There was a figure of a pale, young man with black hair and eyes. He wore a very formal suit. He stood a ways from where I was, staring at me with almost no emotions whatsoever on his face.
"Dad?" I asked, staring at the man in confusion. The figure then walked towards me, taking his time to do so.
"You seem to be having a hard time controlling your powers, Ninja," He said, smiling slightly to me.
"Sorry."
He looked to me, and then he snapped his fingers together. My surroundings immediately changed. I was now in a stronghold with two paths before me. One showed all of the captives in the cavern, while the other showed me myself, except with red eyes.
"Choose quickly and correctly, son."
Gr8job's POV-
I watched in horror as Ninja got knocked into the wall. A moment later, he collapsed to the ground, crumpling together as if made of paper. I could barely handle that. Ninja was like a brother to me, and I couldn't stand the thought of him dead in front of me.
"I'm sure you are all wondering how he did that," Herobrine then said, slowly turning towards us after he successfully knocked Ninja away from him.
"I know how he did that, no need to tell me," I then shot towards him, my voice dripping with hatred.
All of a sudden, I heard a soft voice say, "No one needs to know, dude." I looked over to Ninja's crumpled body, and saw that he was sitting up. He was conscious again, and still alive. But as I examined him, I then realized something different. It was his eyes. They were not blue or red. Instead, they were green. That definitely shocked me.
"You think changing your eye color will make things better, Demonboy?!" Herobrine screamed in anger, his white eyes dancing hatred.
"Shut up," Ninja said calmly. All of a sudden, Ninja dashed across the room at the speed of light, managing to push Herobrine back from where he was standing previously. "I don't need anger to fight. Right… Dad?"
All of a sudden, a man appeared out of nowhere. As I looked to him, I noticed that he definitely had that demon aura in and surrounding him. The man smiled quickly, and then he snapped his fingers quickly. Immediately, all of the chains opened. Everyone fell to the ground, some landing harder than others. Ninja signaled to us to run. I smiled towards my best friend. We finally found some hope of living through this whole thing.
Herobrine then punched Ninja in the face. His eyes turned blue as he screamed. Ninja backed up quickly, wiping away the fresh blood that poured from his now broken nose.
Right then, I heard something peculiar from the hallway. I recognized them quickly as footsteps, and I soon realized that there were a lot of them. The door was blasted open, and when the smoke cleared, I saw Sky standing there. I saw a lot of recruits standing behind him, along with the rest of the resistance leaders that were not taken captive by the giant Squids.
"How about we finish this now, Herobrine?" Sky hissed, glaring at the King of the Nether. Out of the crowd, budder swords rained down on us. A diamond pickaxe came for me, and everyone else picked up their corresponding weapons. Ninja then picked up his axe once more, which had fallen to the floor beside him when he was knocked back by Herobrine.
"Welcome to the land of beautiful darkness you will soon see in DEATH!"
0.0 So close to the end! Please help me get 100 reviews. There will only be one more chapter, and then the epilogue. Let's get this story to 100 reviews or more!
This chapter was more of a tension releaser before the battle, mainly with the 5 million recruits singing Minecraft parodies and annoying the crap out of the mobs.
Special thanks to CodeNickTehNinja for giving me this idea... it helped me get out of Writer's Block... yet again! But I'm not gonna be in Writer's Block anymore, guys.
I'm Ninjamaster, and I will see you recruits later. Peace!
