Chapter 26 : Inside the Nether

Hey guys, Agithos here for another chapter that took me quite a while to write, not because of a lack of motivation but because I didn't know how to write what I wanted to. With that being said, enjoy this chapter.


Present time, Home, Mickael POV

I yawned as I woke up in my bed the next morning. I opened my eyes and began to stretch my arms. I smiled as I looked at Ayumi next to me...until I realized she wasn't in the bed with me. I looked around the room to see she was nowhere to be found.

"She just probably woke up earlier this morning !" I thought as I yawned one last time before getting on my feet.

I looked through the window and noticed it was still dark outside. No...on second thought, it was darker than usual, I couldn't see stars into the sky and some kind of fog was surrounding the house. I couldn't even see Hayden's house even though it was relatively close to ours. I slowly stepped out of my room and walked downstairs.

"Ayumi ? Are you there ?" I asked as I walked down to the kitchen but no one answered. There wasn't anyone inside of the room and not a single noise was coming from the house. My breathing and my feet walking on the wooden planks was all I could hear.

"Hey Notch...Notch ?" I called him inside of my mind. Like with Ayumi, I didn't receive any reply "Strange, that's really not like him to stay silent when I need him !"

Growing quite anxious, I quickly climbed upstairs and rushed into Ari and Vanessa's bedroom, nearly breaking down their door in the process. To tell the truth, I was worried about Ayumi and waking them up was not one of my concerns at this moment.

"ARI ! VANESSA ! Do you know where..." I stopped in mid sentence as I saw their beds were also empty. I gritted my teeth and looked around the room "Damn it...I swear, this better has to be a very bad prank coming from them !" I then said out loud.

I runned back to the hallway and opened up another bedroom. I got more and more worried as I saw neither Yaebi and Andr were inside of their room either. I found myself standing in the hallway of the upper floor, trying to understand what happened to everyone and why I was alone. Right now I was just hoping they decided to go on a little trip together but that didn't make any sence. First of all, Ayumi or someone else would have told me about it. Second of all, why would they leave me alone ? And finally, why the hell would they do that in the middle of the night ?

"Mickael..." I heard someone say downstairs.

Not thinking twice, I rushed downstairs to see whose voice it was. Slightly panting by the state of anxiousness I was in, I carefully looked around the place, making sure to watch out for my blind spot and any suspicious noises. After a few minutes, I was even asking myself if I was not becoming paranoid but...could you blame me ? I eventually decided to go to Hayden's house, maybe he was still there with Cupa.

I opened the front door of the house. With that strange black fog, I couldn't see anything past my nose.

"Well, here we goooOOOOH SHIT !" I screamed inside of my head as I didn't feel any ground below my feet.

Reacting quickly, I managed to catch the edge of the door, preventing me from falling. I looked down only to see pure darkness underneath me. I quickly climbed back onto solid ground and stared at the giant void I was facing. Our house was now just a floating building in the darkness.

"What the hell is going on here ?" I asked myself "Notch, answer god damn it..."

My call stayed unanswered and, once again, I found myself inside of an agonizing silence. Having nothing better to do than just waiting, I picked up a stick and some coal from the nearby chests. I made a torch and approached the void before throwing the torch inside of it. A few seconds later, the torch and its light disappeared from my sight as it was engulfed by darkness. As I guessed, this was a real void and not just a really deep hole. I sighed, knowing that, simply jumping straight down was not a solution.

"How am I going to get out of here ?" I asked myself while rubbing my chin.

"Mickael..." I heard the same voice from earlier say my name. But, this time, it was coming straight from behind me.

I quickly turned around and stayed frozen in horror by what was now standing in front of me. A tall figure was towering me from at least two heads. The creature, the monster, the demon, call it whatever you want, had some sort of blue scales covering all his body, from head to toes, giving it a sort of armor. At the end of his fingers, big sharp claws could be seen and, on his back, a tail with a spear like blade at the end, was slowly moving from left to right above him. Another blade was sticking out of his right arm but all of this was nothing compared to his face. Two rows of sharp fangs were showing with saliva dripping out of his mouth.

"What the hell is that ?" I whispered to myself as the monster looked at me with its two demonic red eyes.

The monster began to growl as it began to slowly walk in front of me. I tried to move, I wanted to move but I couldn't. My body was like petrified by the horror I was facing.

"Crap..." I said out loud as I saw I didn't have any armor nor any weapons, and seeing that shell covering his body, punching and kicking was probably not an option "Stay AWAY !" I then screamed at him as I finally found the strengh to put myself into a fighting stance.

"Grrrrr !" The monster continued to growl as it stopped about half a meter in front of me. I prepared myself for the upcoming attack.

The creature raised his arm above his head and I backed away. My back hit the front door which opened. My eyes shot wide open as I lost my balance and I began to fell inside the void down below. The last thing I saw was the house slowly disappearing into the darkness, the monster staring at me from the front door.


Present time, Home, Mickael POV

I woke up with a start, panting and also slightly shaking. I shot a glance around the room I was in. I was back inside of my bedroom, on my bed. Ayumi was also there, next to me, looking at me with a worried look into her eyes.

"Just a nightmare..." I sighed in my head as I let my back fall on the bed once again.

"Mickael, are you alright ?" My skeleton girlfriend asked "You looked like you were having a bad dream !" She continued.

"Yeah..." I simply replied, my gaze still facing the roof of our bedroom.

"Do you want to talk about it ?" She asked with a caring voice "It usually help !"

I sighed and sat on the bed. Ayumi took the opportunity to take my head and placed it on her shoulder. She then put her arms around my torso and put me into a gentle embrace.

"It was...really wierd, to say the least, and it seemed so...realistic. I woke up in this room but you weren't there, and neither were the others. I was alone. Our house was...trapped in some kind of giant void, almost like a small island in an ocean. And then, there was this big...creature. It had a tail with a spear blade at the end, a blade coming out of his right arm. When it appoached me, I backed away and fell into the void down below. After that, I woke up !" I explained.

"Don't worry it's all over now !" She kissed the back of my head, making me chuckle a little.

"Are you alright Mickael ?" Notch finally asked inside of my head.

"I felt better...What was that ?" I asked back.

"I-I don't know for sure, it looked like a common nightmare but it was...different. I can't explain it. I tried to call you in your sleep but you wouldn't answer..." He answered "Let's just hope it was nothing serious !"

I looked outside and saw a few rays of sunshine passing between two leaves, meaning the sun was already up and Blazette would come to pick us up very soon. Ayumi noticed it and slowly helped me sat on the bed once again before doing the same. Then she went on her feet and turned toward me.

"Let's go get something to eat. I think it would do you some good !"

I followed her suggestion and we both got out of our bedroom. Upon going into the kitchen, we saw that Ari, Yaebi and Andr were already eating their breakfirst.

"Hi Mickael...Wow, look at your face, you look like you have seen a ghost !" Ari laughed a little.

"Ari..." Ayumi simply replied.

"Rough night ?" Andr asked with her usual low voice.

"You can say that !" I answered.

Ayumi and I sat with the others around the table and I proceed to eat my bread and my cookies. A few minutes later, we heard the sound of something passing through our Nether portal. We got out of the house and saw a shivering Blazette slowly walking towards us.

"Hey cold ones, get your backpacks and follow me. I really don't want to spend to much time inside of this frozen realm. Beside, Jade is already waiting for you !" Blazette spoke up as she stroked her arms to warm her up.

"You will never learn Blazette..." I laughed.

The blaze girl rolled her eyes and crossed her arms as she leaned against the wall. I walked back into the house to pick up the equipement we prepared yesterday evening. We really hoped we had everything, I mean, we had one backpack full of water bottle and ice block to keep them fresh. In the other bag, we had the usual stuff : Food, building materials...That kind of things.

As I was leaving to rejoin Ayumi and Blazette outside, I felt a small tap on my shoulder. I turned around and saw Andr looking away from me.

"Andr ? What is it ?" I asked.

"I...I just wanted to know If...I could...come with you...to the slime kingdom..." She replied as her face was becoming red and her fingers started to play with her hair.

"Why would you want to come with us ?" I continued to ask, curious.

"Well...my king, the enderdragon, charged me of a mission : Reporting any news concerning the alliance between the humans and the mobs !" She answered with a timid voice.

My question being answered, I smiled.

"You should have said it earlier. Of course you can come with us !"

"Thank you..." She nodded before I realized something. We only packed for four persons : Ayumi, Blazette, Jade and I. While water wouldn't be a problem, I wasn't so sure about food. Fortunatly, it looked like Andr had already a bag of her own as she quickly went inside of her room and came back with it in her hands.

"Already prepared hm ?"

She nodded for the second time and we exited the house. Outside, Cupa, Hayden, Ari and Ayumi were talking to each others.

"Are you sure you don't want to come with us Ari ?" Ayumi asked to her sister friend.

"Nah, thanks. I don't really feel confortable in very hot climate and I didn't spend as much time as I wanted to with my little sister during those last weeks. Time to make up for the lost time !" Ari grinned before putting both hands on Ayumi's shoulder "Beside, I wouldn't want to steal my best friend's human boyfriend !" She then laughed.

Ayumi sighed before smiling at her friend. Seeing Andr walking by my side and with a bag into her hand, she raised an eyebrow before asking :

"Andr ? Are you coming too ? Mickael, you didn't tell me about it !" She then said to me.

"Well, it was a last minute change of plan. Don't worry, she is bringing her own food with her, there won't be any problem with that !"

I heard Andr mumble a small ''Yes'' as an extention of my sentence. I could tell she was slightly embarassed because she was constantly looking at her feet.

"Well are you ready everyone ?" Blazette asked to us.

"Yes !" We all responded at the same time.

Thus we began to walk through the portal, Blazette being the first and Andr being the second. Cupa waved at us and wished us good luck. Just as I was about to go into the purple portal. The scream of a little girl I know too well was heard behind me.

"MIIIIIIKE !"

We all turned toward the source of the scream and we saw a familiar little girl with red eyes and purple hair running at full speed towards me, seemingly furious. She stopped right in front of me and began to repeately punch my chest with her little fists. I had my armor on so I barely felt anything.

"HOW DARE YOU LEAVING WITHOUT SAYING GOODBYE TO YOUR FAVORITE CAVE SPIDER ?" She shouted at me as she finally stopped punching me.

"I don't remember you being my favorite little cave spider !" I replied, chuckling.

Hearing my words, Vanessa turned her back to me and pouted very hard, which I found was really cute. I smiled and passed my hand into her head., catching her attention.

"I am just kidding Vanessa, you are my favorite little cave spider. And I am sorry, I should have said goodbye to you, but you were sleeping. I didn't want to wake you up. Will you forgive me ?" I apologized.

She still had her back facing me, so I grabbed her by the waist and placed her on my shoulders.

"Do you forgive me now ?" I asked with a wide smile on my face.

"I hate you..." Vanessa replied as she let her head rest on mine.

"Glad this is settle then !" I said as I put Vanessa down on the ground.

That being done, we waved at everyone and walked through the portal. Blazette had her arm crossed and was playing with one of her blaze rods. Jade was also here with, standing in front of the portal, talking with Andr and presenting herself.

"Took you long enough, hot stuff !" The blaze girl stated, coldly.

"Sorry, there was someone I forgot to say goodbye to !" I answered, scratching the back of my head.

"Whatever..." She replied before I saw Jade approaching us.

"Hello, Mickael, and you must be Ayumi right ?" She asked the skeleton girl "We saw each other yesterday !"

"Yes and you are Jade, the cheif's daughter. Am I right ?" Ayumi responded.

"Indeed, pleased to meet you !" Jade bowed in front of Ayumi as a sign of respect which my skeleton girl responded by doing the same.

"Likewise !"

Now that the presentations were made, we proceed to follow Blazette through her fortress. I looked around the place and noticed cobblestone block here and there, filling the holes that were previously in the walls and ceiling. Now it looked more like a real fortress than a ruin.

"Hey Blazette ?" I called.

"Hmm ?" She turned her head to me as she continued to float forward.

"Do you have any news about Menos and Charloette ?" I asked "It's been a while since I saw them !"

"Don't worry !" The blaze girl smiled "They are doing fine. They are getting married in a few days, if everything is according to plan, we should be back in time. There is a big ceremony played after all, I wouldn't want to miss it !"

"I wonder how it is going to be..." I whispered to myself.

"Sorry, Mickael, but none of you are invited !" Blazette faced me, cleary embarassed "D-Don't take it wrong. The king seriously thought about inviting you to the wedding after everything you have done for me and Charloette, but...since the temple is under an ocean of lava and you are, in no way, immune to fire naturally, it would be too much risk for you to come !" She explained, a small drop of sweat tickling down her forehead.

"Don't worry, I understand !" I tried to reassure her.

A few minutes of walking later and we finally arrived at the exit of Blazette's castle. Some stairs were leading down on a netherrack platform down below, above a lava ocean. The netherrack platform was leading deeper inside of the Nether realm. From where I was standing I could see the endless lava sea just waiting to swallow us. Despite the two months I passed in Minecraft, we never really explored the Nether past Blazette's castle. I was curious but also little anxious. I can't recall how much time I have died in the Nether when I was playing the game.

"Before I forget !" Blazette spoke up as she searched inside of the sort of satchel she had on her side. From the bag, she pulled out four potion with an orange liquid inside of them "Those are potions of fire resistance. They will save you if you happen to fall into the lava ocean or if you catch on fire. However, they will only last for a short while and there is only one for each of you. Use them at a last resort. Understood ?"

We all nodded and she handed one potion to each of us. That being said, we all climbed down the stairs while Blazette was floating above us.

"Follow me and don't go too far away !"

That being said, our travel to the slime kingdom and the magma cube's started. The air around us was really hot and, even if we only had been there for a few minutes, Ayumi, Jade, Andr and I were already covered in sweat. Blazette, on the other hand, was dancing gracefully a few meters in front of us.

"It looked easier in the game..." I sighed mentally before I felt one of my feet sinking in some kind of mud.

I looked at my leg and saw that my feet were stuck in a brown sort of sand right to the ankle. I tried to lift my foot off the sand but it was pretty difficult to move.

"Mickael, are you alright ?" Ayumi asked.

"Yes, I am fine. My foot is just stuck !" I answered.

Blazette approached me from above and looked at my leg. She then smiled.

"Mickael...it looks like you stepped into a soulsand block. Legends say these blocks contain the souls of the damned and they try to escape by grabbing everything they can, including the feet of the people walking on their prison block !" She explained before laughing "Stay calm, these are only legends...myths. I am going to get you out of here in no time !"

"Notch, is that true ?" I asked him with an anxious voice.

"I don't know...I wasn't in charge of creating the Nether. It is my brother's creation !" He answered.

"That's not really the answer wanted to hear..."

I felt Blazette taking me by my waist and she tried to pull me out of the soulsand. I could hear her grunting behind me as she tried to remove my feet.

"Damn Notch, hot stuff, you are quite heavy. What kind of armor do you have ?" The blaze girl asked.

"Well, I just have my armblade, my iron armor and most of the food in my backpack !" I answered.

"Well, that explains it. You are too heavy, Mickael !" She said before turning to the others "I won't be able to pull him out by myself. Come and help me !"

The others approached Blazette and helped her get me out of the soulsand block. With their strengh combined, the brown block finally let go of my leg and we were all sent tumbling down on the ground.

"Thanks girl !" I thanked them as I handed a hand towards them, helping them get on their feet.

"This place is sure full of surprise !" Jade said, staring at some glowstones on the ceiling.

"For someone from the overworld, yes, but not for me. Just watch your step and everything will go smoothly !" Blazette responded.

"A little late for that..." I sighed in my head as we continued our travel.


1 day later, Nether realm, Mickael POV

"So, this is what you call 'chicken meat' ?" Blazette asked as she put a piece of meat in her mouth.

"Yes, it is !" Jade answered "You never tried it ?"

"No, we only eat food from the overworld on special occasion. The last time I had some was during a banquet, three years ago. I have to say, this 'chicken' is really tasty !"

It has been a while since we entered into the Nether, a day to be more precise. We were constantly on the move, so we could arrive to the magma cube's kingdom as soon as possible, stopping only to eat and sleep. We used our cobblestones and other building materials to make bridges between lava seas. We considered using Andr's power to teleport us to the other sides but our bodies wouldn't handle repeated teleportation. Our water bottle reserve was slowly going down but we had more than enough to finish the road. Right now, we were sitting by a cliff above a giant lava ocean and eating the last lunch of our travel.

"So, how long do we have until we reach the magma cube kindom and, eventually, the slime kingdom ?" I questioned my blaze friend.

"We should have between eight or so of your overworld hours of walking !" She answered as she looked at the lava ocean.

"Well, I guess we should move then, I don't want to spend another day walking by this temperature !" I replied "I am literally melting inside of my armor !"

"Then you should take it off !"

"And what if we are under attack ?" I responded "I wouldn't have the time to put it back on again !"

"Fine, do what you want..." Blazette sighed.

I searched in my bag and took out a water bottle which I emptied in two or so swallows. We cleaned up the place and proceed to continue our travel. A few minutes later, we arrived at the edge of a cliff. Another nether platform was in front of us but a giant crevasse about twenty block large was in between the two. By the look of it, it looked like there was no other way to get to the other side apart from building another bridge once again.

"Jade, how many block do you have left ?" Blazette asked

"I would say...around fifty. We used a lot of them already !" Jade answered as she looked into her bag.

"That's still enough for this one !"

Suddenly, the five of us heard a distorded cry. It seemed to come from all around us. Even though, we all looking into a different direction, we couldn't find the source of the cry.

"What was that ?" Jade asked "It sounded like a baby's small cry !"

"According to the different reports I heard about, that's what the villagers from the blaze kingdom heard before being under attack !" Blazette answered.

"That's a ghast cry !" I continued "That's the sound they make when they are near. But we cannot guess where they are simply by hearing them !"

"A ghast ? But Charloette and Menos are ghasts, and they never made any sound like that !"

"No, I mean a ghast mob. A giant foating white head with tentacles that shoot explosive fireballs !" I explained as I unsheathed my sword. Ayumi followed my lead and picked up an arrow from her quiver.

"so, that's how they are called !"

A second cry came to our ears. Jade pulled out her stone sword and Blazette prepared two fireballs into her hands. As for Andr, she was looking anxiously around her.

"Come one...show yourself..." I thought before I heard a third cry, scarier than the other and Notch almost screaming inside of my mind.

"Mickael, BEHIND YOU !"

I turned around just in time to see a fireball come out of the lava ocean, heading straight towards us. Acting out of complete reflex and knowledge of the game, I placed myself on the path of the fireball and managed to hit it with my armblade. The fireball was sent to the ceiling where it exploded, leaving a small crater at its place. I approached the cliff and my eyes widened when I saw three ghasts slowly coming out of the ocean, and they weren't alone, a dozen blaze...Well, at least, that's what I supposed, because the blaze where just big flying skulls with lava on top of their heads and yellow sticks floating around them.

"Damn...They are so many of them !" I thought as I looked as the enemy group were slowly coming towards us.

I noticed Blazette frowning and smiling at the same time, giving her a psycho face. The fire on her balls intensified and she quickly flied to the closer enemy.

"Let the fun begins !" I heard her say before she threw both of her fireballs at the ghast in front of her.

The balls created a big screen of smoke as they collided into the giant white jellyfish. Realizing the mistake she was making, I shouted at her :

"BLAZETTE, THIS IS USELESS. THEY ARE IMMUNE TO FIRE !"

"Huh ?" Was all she was able to say before she dodged a ghast's fireball "Woaw, that was a close one !"

The fireball flew towards Andr who quickly teleported away before it exploded where she was standing a few seconds ago. When I looked at her, I could tell she was starting to get a little scared as she was staring at the mob group getting closer and closer to us. As for Ayumi and Blazette, they were trying to hold them off. My skeleton girlfriend was shooting at them with her bow while the blaze girl was trying to distract them from us.

"Jade, build the bridge, quick !" I ordered her.

"Forget the bridge, it would take too long. Just ask your endergirl friend to teleport you all to the other side !" Blazette argued right before a fireball coming from a blaze collided with her chest. Fortunatly, being immune to fire, she didn't feel a thing.

"B-But your bodies are not suited for teleportation, you may get badly hurt in the process !" Andr responded.

"Now is not the time for an argument Andr, just do what she is saying !" I replied as I diverted another ball of fire with my sword.

Andr sighed before she timidly put on her hands on Jade. A second later, a teleporting sound was heard and Andr was on the other side of the crevasse along with Jade. The chief's daughter was on all four and coughing really hard.

"Your turn Ayumi !" I said as Andr returned to us.

"But I am the only one who can kill them, I should be last !" Ayumi retorqued back.

"Maybe, but it is I who have an armor. Now, stop arguing with me and let Andr teleport you away !" I frowned at her.

I saw Andr putting a hand on Ayumi's shoulder and they both were teleported to the other side. Ayumi put a hand on her stomach and fell on one knee before emptying the content of her stomach. When I turned back to the mob group, I noticed they were dangerously close, so close that, a second later, even the blaze started to take me for target, despite Blazette's best effort. It was literally a rain of fire.

"Oh crap..." I thought before jumping away. I managed to dodge everything even though I felt one or two passing just a few centimeters away from my face, slightly burning my some of my hair in the process. Ayumi was trying to cover me with her bow, killing some blaze but, for every mob she would kill, two of them would get out of the lava ocean. Now, there was four ghasts and, at least, twenty blazes

"You are starting to PISS ME OFF !" Blazette screamed as she took one of her blaze rods and smashed one of the blaze with it.

"Andr, now !" I said

She quickly nodded before teleporting right next to me.

"Mickael, watch out !" I heard Blazette say just before I saw a ghast's fireball approaching us at great velocity. Neither Andr or I had the time to react, I was just able to grab the endergirl by the hand before the ball of fire exploded at our feet sending us flying over the edge of the cliff.

"MICKAEL, ANDR !" I heard Ayumi's voice scream at us as we began to fall down towards the lava sea.

Reacting quickly, I stretched my arm towards the wall and managed to grab the ledge of a netherrack block sticking out of it. I grunted in pain as I felt all the weight acting on my arm. My other hand was still holding Andr's. I looked down and noticed she wasn't moving nor reacting.

"Hey Andr...Andr !" I called her but received no answer "Damn it !" I murmured to myself.

With difficulty, I managed to pull myself and Andr on the small red block. As I guessed, she was unconscious. She suffered from minor burns but her forehead was bleeding.

"Mickael, Andr, are you alright ?" I heard Blazette scream to us as she was using her rods to beat the hell out of a blaze, crushing its head.

"Yeah, I am fine, but Andr is knocked out. She won't be able to teleport us out of here !" I replied.

"Hold on, I am coming to get you both !"

"No !" I stopped her as she was starting to fly toward us "If you do that, they may attack Jade and Ayumi. They are not immune to fire like you and these mobs keep coming. Plus, I am too heavy and Andr is a dead weight right now. Just go, you will get surrounded if you stay here !"

"But, what about you ?" Blazette asked, dodging a ghast's fireball.

"We will find a way. We will see you at the magma cube kingdom, don't worry about us !" I responded.

I saw her gritting her teeth. I guessed she had no other valid counter argument.

"Fine but don't you dare die here, hot stuff. I will kill you if you do !"

"Good to know !" I chuckled.

That being said, Blazette smiled and floated away from us. She also began to taunt the monster so that they keep their attention on her. She gave them all kinds of names, even ones that I never heard about.

"Nice one Blazette !" I though in my mind.

With almost every mob out of sight, I tried to find a way to get out of this situation with what I had. I carefully looked inside of my bag : Some food, a few water bottle but not enough blocks to go back up. The only thing that could be useful right now was the fire resistance potion Blazette gave us a while ago. I leaned above the edge of the block I was standing on. I gulped when I saw the lava ocean just waiting for us, thirty blocks underneath us.

"I am afraid you don't have much choice, young one !" Notch spoke up inside of my mind.

"Why did I know you were going to say that ?" I sighed mentally before I placed the unconscious Andr on the block, her back against the cliff.

"You will forgive me for this violation of privacy..." I said as I seached for her potion in her coat.

I pulled out her potion from one of her pocket and placed it above her mouth. With my other hand, I opened her mouth and poured the liquid inside of it. After a few seconds, the bottle was empty and some orange particle could be seen flying around her.

"Well, I guess it worked. My turn then !"

I took my own fire resistance potion and quickly swallowed all of its content before almost spitting half of it on Andr's coat.

"I never thought it would taste so awkward..." I thought as the potion left a really strange taste in my mouth "I would really like to remember what are the ingredients to make these..."

Out of nowhere, a ghast's cry came into my ears. I turned around and saw a fireball coming right at me. Using Nightfall, I knocked the fireball at a perfect angle. The fireball came right back at the ghast who fired it and exploded as it touched its face, killing the mob on the spot.

"Achievement get : Return to sender !" I chuckled, looking at the giant white jellyfish's body slowly sinking into the lava ocean.

"Stay on your guard, Mickael, more of them are coming your way !" Notch responded.

A second later, I noticed not one but two ghasts coming out of the sea of flames. Upon spotting us, they immediatly went into a 'target locked' mode. I quickly grabbed Andr and my bag and I jumped just before a fireball collided with the block we were standing on a second ago, reducing it to dust.

"HOLY CRAAAAAA..."

My sentence was cut short, our bodies diving into the lava ocean.
