Chapter 8 The Summoning (Papart POV)
We left the nether as fast as possible and appeared at the nether portal in our village, as planned. We went to Steve's house and let him sleep after giving him the sleep vaccine. We saw him smile, then struggle a little bit. Then, he woke up, with a worried look hidden away in his eyes.
"Paul went to tell all of the mobs I listed," Steve explained. "They will teleport their best set of mobs in their army to the village, where I will section them off to villagers."
"Sounds good," I replied. I wondered what else had gone on in the dream. We left Steve's house and headed to the village square. There, Steve called a town meeting, and the villagers gathered around.
"Villagers!" Steve greeted. "As you have guessed, the world is in deep danger from the creatures in the nether. Thank you for building walls around a large area, protecting us from the lava puddles outside. Thankfully, no lava has gotten into the village."
"Now, what this speech is going to be about involves all of the mobs in the overworld that can help us in this battle. There are a lot of types of mobs, so we need leaders to take groups of mobs out to find Magmus and stop him. Magmus is the leader of the nether army, and you'll be able to tell when you see him."
"So, I will be taking the skeletons, spiders, and zombies. Papart, you'll take slimes, squids, and bats. The scientist will take wolves. Tom will take creepers, Jameson will take ocelots, and Alicia will take the witches. Is everyone at agreement?"
"Yes!" The village chanted back.
"All right then, the mobs will be here soon!" Steve shouted. "Let's get armor on and get water buckets. We'll all be battling. And make iron golems too!"
"Sure thing!" Jameson shouted.
I saw as everyone got to work, and I rushed to my room in my house. I knew all about squids. I found that bats could fly quickly and blind opponents in large numbers. I also discovered from my book that slimes come in multiple sizes and follow their foes, jumping on them, and even swallowing them up into their gelatinous bodies. I decided that the bats and squids could blind mobs and push them to the ground, where the slimes would jump on and crush the bad guys. It sounded like a plan to me. I ran back outside to see that my armies were waiting for me. I explained my plans to them, and they agreed, saying that it was a good idea.
We armed ourselves and exited the village, parkouring our way around lava puddles. All the while, new geysers erupted out of the crust if the earth. Then, mobs started erupting out of the geysers, and looked right at me.
It was time to put my plan to work.
