"Hmmmm…" Seth hummed.
"Hmmmm…" Kyle hummed.
"Hmmmm…" Needles hummed.
Needles, otherwise known as Kyle (Kyle didn't feel too comfortable with someone else using his name) was one of Seth's closest personal friends, and had come to help with the design of the redstone weaponry to be used. He had long brown hair and blue eyes, which weren't as large as Seth's, even with Needles' glasses on. He wore nothing but dark red, along with a leather cloak pinned with needles from a dead silverfish. He, Seth, and Kyle all stood in what seemed like a board room, discussing the intricate redstone wiring for the new weapon.
"So," Seth began," If we put this dispenser here, and fill it full of arrows, we can also divert some of the redstone signal towards another dispenser which automatically primes 2 TNT cannons using fire charges."
"Okay, but how are we going to keep the TNT from blowing up the circuitry? It's not like we can just cover it up," Needles mentioned in a defiant tone. Kyle, on the other hand, was absolutely lost.
"Well, we don't need to cover it up, because the TNT won't be near the circuitry for the dispensers."
Needles thought for a moment, and then said, "Well, how are we going to make sure that there's a steady supply of fire charges and arrows? Because once we run out of fire charges, the TNT might as well be a bunch of sand."
"I can set up a delivery system of mine carts with chests filled with them, while Kyle mans the weapon from behind," Seth explained. Kyle perked up at the sound of his name, and began to get an evil smile on his face.
"Okay, fine. But we're going to need far more than what you have in your little 'trinket shop'. Come on, we're going to my place," Needles said forcefully.
Holly and PixelKnux both ran along the canopy of the dense jungle, while Steve continually kept falling out of large trees and nearly dying. "Hurry up Steve! There's a reason we're going over the tops of the trees," Holly shouted from the top of a large branch.
"Oh…*pant* really…" Steve said, completely out of breath, "And why…*pant* is that?"
"AIAIAIAIAIAIAIAIAIAIAIAIAHHH HHHH!" A girl wielding a wooden sword quickly descended from out of nowhere and nearly split Steve in half. Steve immediately fell to the ground, and when he looked up, he was met with the sword to his throat.
"That's why!" Holly shouted from her branch. "I told you my sister was crazy!"
"Hey sis!" the girl pleasantly waved up at Holly, still holding the sword to Steve's throat.
"Hi Kitty," Holly said begrudgingly.
Kitty then turned back to Steve with a maniacal look in her eye. For living in the jungle, she was surprisingly well clothed and groomed. She had very curly brown hair and hazel eyes, and wore a shirt bearing the name "Nintendo" on the front in bold letters.
"Alright, you low-life, scum bag, evil doing nanny pants," Kitty exclaimed at Steve evilly, "WHERE ARE YOU HIDING ALL MY CHEESE?!"
Steve, utterly terrified and very confused, could merely utter, "…whuh?"
"I WANT MY CHEEEEEESE! CHEESECHEESECHEESE!" Kitty manically shouted. Steve looked up in horror at the crazy girl holding a blade to his throat. It was at this moment that Holly and PixelKnux dropped in and nearly made Steve wet himself in fear.
"Kitty, he doesn't have your cheese…drop the sword," Holly calmly said.
"Oh. OK," Kitty contently said, giving Holly a big hug as PixelKnux helped Steve up off the ground. "So what brings you to my part of the desert?" Kitty asked much to the confusion of Steve.
"Well," Holly began, ignoring the complete inanity of her sister's previous statement, "we need some people for an army. Are you game?"
Kitty pondered for a good long while. It was about five hours later when she finally asked one question. "Will there be teddy bears wielding chainsaws that are on fire and dancing a jig?"
"Possibly…" Holly said slyly.
"I WILL DO IT!" Kitty exclaimed, nearly knocking Steve to the ground again.
Kyle, Seth and Needles all walked along the mountainous region to the north of the pixel ranch. After multiple hours of long walking, Kyle dragged his feet along the grass until he was met with stone steps. He looked up and saw an enormous staircase leading high above the clouds. After what seemed like forever trying to climb the staircase, Kyle tried to take in the sight before him.
An enormous, two-story house set into the peak of the mountain majestically overlooked the world below it, and Needles and Seth continued to walk inside of the house. When Kyle walked inside, he felt a strange sense of déjà-vu. He looked around and saw almost nothing but intricate redsone wiring with dozens of machines and lights flashing in a synchronized rhythm. The three of them descended into the basement of the house that had a large system of chests in mine carts. Needles simply pressed a button and pulled out multiple components of redstone, repeaters, switches, and torches. He then pressed another button and pulled out multiple stacks of TNT, dispensers, fire charges, and arrows, which he promptly handed to Seth.
"Okay," Needles said eagerly, "let's get to work."
