Sorry for the delay! Just be happy it wasn't a longer wait! ;P

So, I happen to be going to the Team Crafted LA Event in March... PM me if you want a full-on rage of how I'm super happy... Lol

In this chappie, there will be reunions, and preparations. Spoiler alert!

Sleek POV

It had been around two hours since the new group first entered the Sky Army base. For fifteen minutes, I hung around Quentin and Seto, but they quickly pushed me away to flirt with their girlfriends, Tiff and Kae. Girlfriends were stupid, but maybe that's because I was twelve years old at the time. It may have also been time that I spent stuck inside of the base before Sky returned, I knew I had to do one thing right when he came back: apologize. I felt I ruined my whole life by betraying the only family I had ever cared about since my father.

"Who are they again?" I questioned a girl in a gothic-style outfit and short dark hair who randomly stood next to me, who gave me a strange look. She rolled her eyes and tried to ignore me as Sky talked with the leader of the other group.

"The Audience," the girl grumbled, "He even told you guys who the group was and you still don't know?" How come I was the only person who was confused about the whole situation?!

Turning to the girl yet again, I could see the despair on her face, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," she groaned, not daring to look at me, "Don't bother me."

"I wanna know. You seem sad."

The girl faked a laugh, "Sad? Sad is not the word I'm feeling right now. Choose better vocabulary."

"Well… now that you brought it up…"

"You brought it up!" the girl burst, trying to push me away using her elbow.

I shook my head playfully, "Nuh uh…"

"Fine, I feel like a total outcast. Nobody likes me. Happy?"

"Yes, I actually am."

"Why am I telling you this?! I don't even know you!"

"Okay… let me introduce myself. I'm Sleek."

"Kohta Seiko. Have a last name?"

"Um… Wanna know the truth?"

"Haven't I just told you a secret? It's your turn."

"Turner. My last name is Turner."

Kohta paused, "You need to meet someone. Now." She pulled on my wrist, but I held back. "What are you doing?"

I glared at her desperate expression. "Where are you taking me?"

"To…" Kohta glanced towards Sky and examined the area around him, "Sky."

"I need to talk to him anyways…" I looked down, and Kohta found that the perfect moment to drag me. We ended up standing a few feet away from Sky and the leader of the group. I still didn't know his name…

"Come on, Sleek!"

"Wait! Kohta!" I stopped her and pulled back from her another time, "I gotta think this over…"

"You don't have to think anything over! Just do it! I know what you're thinking, Sleek, and it's fine that you're scared!" Kohta obviously knew something that I didn't. She tried to reassure me about my decision, and I chose to accept it. My new friend gently nudged me and pointed to the man in the green shirt. I gulped, and took soft and slow steps over to his location. Sky spotted me first and grinned.

"Hey," Sky begun, "What's up?"

"Uh…" I struggled to get out my words, "Nothing much. I just met Kohta Seiko."

"She's funny, isn't she?" the man chuckled, his hands jokingly over his eyes and rubbing his forehead at the same time.

I hesitated and nervously laughed along, "Yeah… she is…" I turned my attention to the commander of the Sky Army, "Sky… I wanted to apologize for what I said earlier."

Sky smirked, "Dude, it's no big deal. I knew you were mad. I understand."

All of my nerves relaxed for a split second, "You do?"

"Of course. You're one of my best guy friends, not to mention the best PVP trainer in the base."

It took me a few moments to process Sky's words, "You really mean that?"

Sky nodded and gasped, "Oh! Almost forgot! Sleek, this is Toby Turner, leader of the Audience, one of our allies!"

Toby opened his eyes and glanced down at me. Those dark eyes were so familiar… I had only seen those in dreams of the past… His eyes suddenly widened upon meeting my gaze and a single tear fell down his cheek, "Is that you? Coast?"

"Dad?" I ran into an embrace and my father hugged me back.

"Coast, my boy… I missed you so much… You've grown! Look how tall you are!" Toby patted my head, but I wiped his hand away. He chuckled, but eventually noticed the anger building up in my burning cheeks.

"How?!" I yelled, "How'd you survive?! And why haven't you come since?!"

Toby tried to act calm while I blew my mind out, "First of all, I didn't know you were with Adam. But I can see he's treated you well."

Sky interrupted with a cough, "Sir, Mr. Turner, please call me Sky."

Toby cautiously nodded his head, "Yes, yes, that's right. You're the official Sky."

"Do the squids know you're still alive?"

My father gritted his teeth, "I hope not. My recruits would tell me if we were under attack, but for the moment, I believe that we're both in decent situations recruit-wise."

I cleared my throat, causing the adults to look down on me, "We have a bigger problem on our hands. Maybe… the end of the world big?"

"Yes! Coast…!" Toby placed the giant palms of his hands onto my shoulders and gave me a goofy grin, "We shall wait until after the Judgement Day to celebrate our reunion."

"Call me Sleek…"

"Alright Sleek."

"Dad?"

"Yes?"

"What if there is no after Judgement Day?"

Toby sighed and leaned his forehead against mine although he was at least two feet taller than me. He whispered quietly, and I barely heard his words. "I promise you, my son, there will. I'll sacrifice my own life to make sure there is at least one for you."

Jason POV

After grouping together the recruits for the final battle, Sky, Jerome, Ty, Seto, Mitch, Quentin, Ian, and I stood near the entrance of the Sky Army base. At first, there was complete silence. We had nothing to say to each other. I supposed the excitement and stress got to our heads, which made us unable to speak.

Ian halted the stillness. A grin appeared on his face, making Quentin shiver a bit, "You realize that this is the original group of generals, right? We're the guys who created the Sky Army…"

"We know," Seto cut Ian short. He sighed, "What if this doesn't work out? I understand that Steve is a very powerful god… and…"

"Seto…" Sky consoled his friend and Army mage, "We'll all get out this alive." He glanced towards Mitch, who held his head down, "Ray will be fine too."

Mitch peered up at Sky and gave a slight smirk.

Sky acknowledged Mitch with a nod and continued, "We have the Sky Army, the Dwellers, the Audience, allies from the Nether, hopefully allies from the Aether… the squids and Steve don't stand a chance."

"What about those girls from the Nether?" Jerome questioned, "Cassandra and Mitchie. The ones you told us about."

"I don't really know about them. I haven't seen their powers outside of the Nether. Just don't know."

"Whatever we do," Mitch growled, "We have to defeat Steve."

"You got that right," I chuckled.

"We need a name for our group of generals," Ty demanded. He glanced around at the boys and then placed his index finger and thumb to his chin in thought.

Jerome disturbed the silence, "I have to craft this diamond axe for the battle if you guys don't mind…" He begun to tiptoe away, but Ty grabbed his arm. "What is it?"

"I know a name!" Ty exclaimed.

"Which name?" I queried.

"Team Crafted."

Ian laughed, "Is it just because Jerome needs to craft an axe?"

"Sorta…"

"Well," Sky confessed, "In my opinion, I like it."

"So do I," Seto agreed.

The rest of the group nodded compliantly.

Sky managed the rest of the allies until we were prepared to search for Steve's hideout.

After arrangements were made between Sky, Toby, and Dan, everyone was dressed in full armor, weapons on their sides or across their backs, each PVP general had a bag of food, and each mage had a bag of potions.

I tightened my diamond chest plate and fixed my space helmet before strapping my diamond sword to my side and walking out of the base, shoulder to shoulder with the rest of Team Crafted. Glancing behind me, I spotted Sam, who smiled and blushed. I looked back ahead and whispered to myself, "Long live Team Crafted."

Hope you liked the chapter!
