Sooo, it's been like what, 5 years? I wrote this chapter back in 2015, I always meant to publish it, but never did. I'm in college now and stuff, and I've got some extra time, so I thought, what the heck? I may as well finish this. Don't get your hopes up too much, updates won't be consistent or anything, but I'm gonna try writing fanfiction again. (god help me XD.)
Full Support. All the mobs wanted to help our cause. Now we needed to plan our attack. The meet was over, and everyone was dismissed. Temperance, Ben and I were meeting with the lead mobs in the cave near the clearing where I was formally introduced to Scree. Our first order of business was to find a way into the nether.
"Our cave legion has found a portal in an abandoned mineshaft, under the marshland not far from here." said the lead spider. His name is Peter. We decided it would be easier to plan an attack if we knew everyone's names.
"If we have a way in, then what's our strategy?" asked Carol, the lead zombie, "They'll be expecting something like this."
"Our firssst priority issss to find the enderman." said Tarrlok, the lead creeper.
"Wrong. Our first priority is to find their fortress or leader." replied Temperance, which was strange. A skeleton wearing diamond armor was standing nearby, and he had introduced himself as Lance. I assumed he was the lead mob. He must've been letting Temperance explain things, because she had taken control of the conversation.
"We know they have some sort of hierarchy, based on the creatures we've encountered, which include Blaze, Wither Skeletons, Magma Cubes, and Zombie Pigmen. Kate, you and Scree got some info out of a magma cube once, what did it say?"
I had almost forgotten about that encounter. Have I been here that long? It seems like forever ago that scree and I cornered that disgusting little cube. What was it he had said? "I'm part of a group of Nether mobs trying to claim the overworld for the Wither."
"It said it was in a group trying to take over our world for the Wither."
At this, there were a few gasps.
"The Wither?" Ender inquired, "Oh dear…"
"What? What's so bad about that?" Ben asked.
"The Wither is an extremely powerful creature that rules over the nether. A very long time ago, there were Nether portals almost everywhere. But when the players began arriving, The Wither closed all of them, Sealing off the Nether from the overworld. He decided this world wasn't safe anymore."
"If he thinks it's not safe, then why would he want the overworld?" Carol asked.
"No idea," Ender replied, "Something tells me he isn't involved at all. Perhaps these attackers are confused somehow."
"Confused or not, we need to stop them." Temperance said, "Peter. Have your spiders gone through the portal at all? If we're going to attack, we need to know where we're headed."
"We've gone through a few times; not enough to know the area." Peter replied, "But we can start mapping it out, see what we can find."
"How long will you need?"
"Depends on the time change." Peter replied, "I'll have them start right away."
"Okay, just be careful."
Peter said something to the other spider with him, his second in command, I guess, and it skittered away into the night.
