We have a new OC, which is my friend. YAY!*fireworks everywhere*
I could have wrote more, but I uploaded this at almost midnight, and my brain had practically stopped working. Go on, read the story while I go hit the sack. -v-
Deadlox POV
When the girl/Aquarius didn't reply, I click on the 'call' button. "We called him this morning, and he looks pretty much like the picture you showed us earlier," I explained. "You're, like, one of us now, so I guess it doesn't hurt to let him know you,"
Aquarius muttered something under her breath while her eyes shone excitement. Either she is excited over seeing Jason or she'd never used Skype. Jason picked up the call a while later, and his camera loaded.
"What's up, Ty?" Jason is leaning in his chair, looking tired. "Something happened?"
"We've got company," I eyed Aquarius, who is standing outside camera view. "A girl, with dragon wings and all that like me," I gestured her into view. "Jason, meet Aquarius,"
Before she could say anything, something pricked me in the neck. Before I could register anything, I passed out.
6 hours later…
I woke up with a splitting headache. The first things I see is a giant tree in the middle of a round glass dome and guess what? I'm in the dome. When the headache subsidized, I heaved myself up and took a look around.
The dome seemed to be 50 meters in diameter, and I'm at the edge of it. The tree took up 2/3 of the dome, and I judged that we could build a gigantic tree house on it. Adam lied a little further to my left, still unconscious. A blonde guy with glasses lies to the right of me.
"You're finally up!" Aquarius dropped down from one of the branches above, scaring me. "Dude, do you know what you got hit by? It's a tranquilizer dart. Sky got it too, as well as Jason, though I don't know how they did that, maybe they happened to be at his house. Not just us, thou. We have Kim, Duncan and Laowu too, and-"
She stopped when I held up my hand. I'd never thought that this girl can talk a lot. "Why didn't you get hit by the dart?"
"My arm kinda blocked the dart," She tapped the scales on her left arm. "After you guys passed out, two big men swung in from the window. All they did was tying me up when they saw me,"
"If so, where are we?" I looked around the dome. Beyond the translucent glass are a few people in lab coats looking at us. I can't hear them, so I guess they can't hear us too.
"I'm not really sure…" Aquarius bit her lip. "But the trip took 3 hours or so. I guess this place is pretty far,"
"Oaky, next question," I sat upright. "I know Kim and Duncan," I nodded at them. They're not really far from the tree. "But who is Laowu?"
"Oh yeah right," Aquarius scratched her cheek. "He's a Malaysian Youtuber, and people say that he's a Malaysian version of Pewdiepie,"
"Never heard of him. What's his channel's main language?" This Laowu guy looked no older than I was.
"Chinese," Aquarius flew back to her original position on the tree. When did she learn to fly? "Just call him Isaac when he woke up,"
She stopped talking afterwards. The people outside the dome took one last look at us and went away into the shadows. What do they want with us and why?
MinecraftUniverse POV
My guessing is that someone spotted one of us and decided to call the FBI or whatever.
I had my phone on me before I got shot and when I woke up, it's gone. All of our personal belongings are gone, possibly taken to be inspected or whatnot. Aquarius looked like she's worried about something, though she didn't tell us.
All of us exchanged stories. Seems like Ty and Aquarius experienced the change first, followed by Adam and Duncan the next day, then me, Kim and Isaac. I guessed that we are the only ones experiencing changes, but Aquarius denied it. She said that there are more, and she guessed (from her memory, according to her) that this would go on for 7 to 8 days until all the chosen ones are turned into half mobs.
Those people outside the dome sent us food. While we eat, they looked at us through the glass. I felt uneasy when someone is looking at me while I eat, so I have not much of an appetite. After that, Ty tried flying with the guidance of Aquarius. She insisted that we Wither Boss hybrids (we decided earlier that we might be one) can fly too, but we have to figure it out ourselves. So for the next few hours, we tried flying while Adam and Duncan watched.
Under normal circumstances, I would have freaked out. Strangely, that didn't happen. All I did was taking a look at myself, getting surprised by it, and accepted it completely. I seemed completely adapted to it too. I wasn't even surprised when I found out that there's a tree house on top of the tree, and the tree wasn't real.
We were still exploring the tree house when something opened at the base of the tree. I looked down just in time to see a sliding door closing on the trunk. When it slid back into place, I lost track of its location. It's hidden so well.
At the base of the tree lie 'Bacca' Jerome and a teenage boy with blonde hair and a patch of black. Aquarius gasped when she saw the boy and landed beside him. They have 8 white tentacles sprouted out of their backs, and have patterns near their eyes that looked like tear stains.
"This is getting weirder and weirder," Adam said. "We are caught and brought to this place, and our number kept increasing. What if the whole earth is filled with beings like us?"
"Can't be possible," Isaac showed up behind us. His arm is bruised from the test-flight earlier. "When I was little, I made my teacher real angry. Nothing happened, so it can't be true,"
"While we discussed about this, let's move them into the tree," Aquarius picked up the boy and gestured at Jerome. Ty volunteered to carry Jerome, and we set them in one of the rooms. We'll probably ask for their side of the story when they woke up.

Rex POV
I didn't know that I have tentacles until my mum and brother freaked out.
I woke up, as usual. It's time for school, so I woke up before dawn. My alarm clock hadn't rung, so I stayed in bed. Aquarius hadn't sent us a message since she left. I wonder what had happened to her?
My clock rang, so I got up and get ready for school. I was thinking about Aquarius all the time *blush*, so I didn't pay attention to my reflection in the mirror. When I'm done, I dragged my bag downstairs. I thought only primary school students have heavy bags. I didn't realize that secondary students have the same problem too.
"Ah Soon!" My mum called. Ah Soon is my nickname at home. "Wake up! You're going to be late for school!"
"Coming!" I can hear my brother munching on whatever he insisted for breakfast. Sighing, I put my bag at the front door and went into the kitchen.
"Stupid Soon," My brother said as I entered the dining area. "How is your girlfriend doing…?" His eyes widened, his breakfast fell from his hand, and he screamed.
"What is it?" Mum entered the dining room, and saw me. She stared at me for a minute before her eyes rolled back into her head. She collapsed.
"Mum?" I rushed to her side and checked her pulse and something moved on my back at the sudden movement. I reached up instinctively, and felt something soft and a little moist. I looked behind me just to check, and saw white octopus tentacles moving ever so slowly on my back.
"No, no, no," I rushed to the nearest mirror and looked into it. Basically, it's still me. The difference is tear stains on my eyes and 4 pairs of white tentacles. I'm turning into half a monster, just like Aquarius. What do I do?
The first thing I can think of is to call Neonz. His phone rang, but he didn't answer. I then remembered that he has to go to school earlier that any of us. He can't answer my call. Dang it.
Something pinched my thigh, like how a mosquito bite hurts sometimes. I slapped my thigh, pushing a needle even further in. It hurts, but not for long. I'd fainted.
