When Gameknight, Otto, and the girl (who's name, Gameknight had found out, was Kelly) got to the meeting area most of the town was already there. Gameknight easily counted three-hundred people sitting on wool blocks with wooden backboards. They looked comfortable, so Gameknight sat down next to Kelly and Otto. On his other side, sat a person with a black pirate vest with golden buttons.
"Hi, I'm Gameknight." said Gameknight to the person.
"I'm Shadow Fox, but you can call me Fox." said the player.
"What's happening?"
"I don't know," Fox answered, "I'm as new as you, but I know a lot about Minecraft. I researched before I played."
"Same," said Gameknight, "But when I spawned in I saw Herobrine."
"Who's Herobrine?"
"An evil-"
The crashing sound rang out again and everyone went silent. Micah stepped up to the podium and said, "Our mayor has called this meeting because we have found out that Herobrine plans to attack this village. We will prepare as best we can, but he is rallying with the Enderman and the Ender Dragon."
A panic spread through the crowd like wildfire. There were whisperings and frantic yells. "However," said Micah getting the crowd to settle down, "we think that the prophecy is coming to light. The prophecy, for you noobs goes like this:
The blue-eyed one with hair of yellow,
Will join us, with his voice mellow,
The glowing monster come to fame,
But blue-eyed one will be his bane.
Lapis, diamonds, and the sea,
His eyes, a combination of all three.
The red-eyed one from Nether realm,
He, to, will also be felled.
"As you can see this is coming for sure. Herobrine, the person attacking us, has glowing white eyes as harsh as viper venom. We will prepare as best we can. Everyone should have at least full iron armour and an iron weapon of their choice. Unless, of course, they prefer to use a bow and arrows. Everyone will be required to fight unless injured severely.
"The mine is on the right of Otto's store. Go now, we haven't got much time!"
Gameknight got up and ran toward Otto's store he grabbed himself a stone sword and stone pickaxe, then ran to the mine. Fox was right behind him. Gameknight strapped the sword to his back, then the pickaxe over it, forming a cross. He opened the doors to the mine, and was about to go in, when a fireball exploded right across the square. More fireballs reigned in from on high were Gameknight could see gray ghost-like things with wings.
"They're strays!" yelled Fox running toward the scene of destruction. Gameknight followed and drew his sword.
A Stray threw a fireball right at him, but he swung his sword like a baseball bat and knocked the fireball right back up at the strays. They were so crowded that they blocked out the sunlight. So, when the fireball hit, it killed about five and severely damaged six others. Gameknight saw Kelly carrying the body of the shop-owner.
"There are no others inside!" she yelled to him and Fox, "Kill the strays!"
She drew her bow and fired arrow after arrow at the sky. When a fireball flew toward her she rolled out of the way. But she didn't notice a stray fly down from the sky and slash her calf.
Kelly cried out in pain as Gameknight saw her fall to the ground. He ran toward her and blocked the stray's next attack with his stone blade. It clashed against the Iron one emitting sparks. He ducked and avoided the strays swings and their battle carried them away from Kelly's shrieking form. Gameknight saw that the stray had green particles emitting from his sword.
"Poison," he thought.
Gameknight ducked under the stray's sword and thrust upward. The force of his blow broke his stone weapon, but also killed the stray, which dropped its iron sword, which particle effects vanished.
Gameknight grabbed the new iron sword and rushed toward Fox who was similarly engaging a stray with an iron sword he had won from one of it's dead brethren. Gameknight deflect more fireballs that flew from the heavens. The strays had at least a stack of them each. He finished off another low-flier and rushed toward the form of Kelly.
She was beginning to stand back up and fire at the strays. Fireballs (stacks of them from dead stray inventories) and swords rained down around her. A fireball escaped her notice and smashed into the ground behind her.
She flew forward her eyes rolling to the back of her head, her back tinted orange from the explosion, and the rest of her tinted orange because of various fires. She hit the ground and slid a block before she stopped. Arrows, those from her quiver, littered the ground around her.
