The Koopalings reached their base.
"No beds yet?" Larry asked.
"No, we've never been able to find the time to get wool," Lemmy replied.
"Here, Lemmy, here's some Shears!" Iggy said. Iggy threw the Shears to Lemmy.
"Thanks! I'll go shear some sheep right now." Lemmy left the base.
"So, what should we do until Lemmy comes back?" Morton asked.
"Instead of living in a mountain, let's build a house!" Iggy said.
"Alright! I have a ton of Sticks and Cobblestone; I'll make some Stone Axes right now!" Morton went to the Crafting Table. He threw Larry and Iggy's axes at them, then they left the base and started chopping down trees.
Eventually, each Koopaling had 64 pieces of Wood. They then turned it all into Wooden Planks, and then they had 768 Wooden Planks!
"How big should it be?" Morton asked.
"I say it should be 20x20, with two or three floors," Larry said.
"Well then, let's get to work!" Iggy said. The three Koopalings had already finished the first floor and lit it with Torches when Lemmy came back.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Lemmy asked.
"We're building a wooden house!" Iggy said.
"Good idea!" Lemmy said.
"Here's an axe; go chop down some wood and help us!" Morton said.
By the time it was nighttime, the Koopalings had built a four floor house connected by ladders. Larry lived on the bottom floor, Morton lived on the second floor, Iggy lived on the third floor, and Lemmy lived on the fourth floor.
"Well, it's nighttime, so we should go to bed to set our spawn points," Larry said. The other Koopalings nodded and went to bed.
At midnight, Iggy was woken up by a strange smell. He went down to the bottom floor and drew his Iron Sword. He went outside and heard whispers.
"We'll get the Koopalings in their sleep!"
"Yeah! Those Koopalings will never defeat us!"
Iggy peered around the corner and saw that two hooded figures were standing there. One was holding a block of TNT, and the other was holding a Flint and Steel – and they had already started to burn down the house with the Flint and Steel!
The fire had started when Iggy woke up; that was the strange smell! And by now, it had spread to the second floor!
"Come on, let's burn down the house even quicker," one hooded figure said. They moved to another side of the house and set it on fire as well!
Iggy ran back inside the house. "Larry! Wake up, two people are lighting our house on fire with Flint and Steel!"
"Huh? Eh…" Larry fell asleep again. Iggy started shaking Larry until he woke up. "Ah! Alright, alright, I'm awake! What's new? …And what's that smell?"
"Fire! Someone's lighting our house on fire!"
Larry dashed out of bed and looked at the two hooded figures. "Hey, no problem, Iggy! There's a Creeper headed towards them!"
Iggy looked where Larry was looking. The two people were still lighting the house on fire, seemingly unaware of the Creeper headed in their direction.
The Creeper reached them, but didn't blow up. The Creeper stood next to the house, the two figures moved away, and then the Creeper exploded!
"Ah!" Larry and Iggy fell back from the force of the explosion.
Morton suddenly appeared. "Hey, what was that sound?"
"Two people are lighting our house on fire, and they even got a Creeper to explode near it!" Iggy hastily explained.
"Whoa! I'll go wake Lemmy!" Morton dashed back in the house, but collided with Lemmy.
"Hey, I'm awake! I heard the whole thing!" Lemmy said. "Iggy has an Iron Sword and I have a Diamond Sword; we can take them! Come on, Iggy!" Lemmy and Iggy dashed at the two hooded figures.
"Ah, the Koopalings! You decided to fight after all!" one of the hooded figures said.
"Let's get them!" the other hooded figure said.
The two figures charged at Lemmy and Iggy. Lemmy attacked one with his Diamond Sword and Iggy got another one with his Iron Sword. The two figures were knocked back, but they both took out bows and shot arrows at the Koopalings. The Koopalings each got hit by one, but managed to avoid the rest. Lemmy and Iggy ran in separate directions. One hooded figure ran after Lemmy and the other ran after Iggy.
Iggy ran into the forest, easily dispatching any monsters that tried to attack him. Eventually, however, Iggy reached a mountain that had blocks on three sides. The hooded figure quickly placed blocks on the fourth side so Iggy couldn't get out.
"Looks like you're going to be dead in about six seconds!" the hooded figure laughed. Iggy saw that one of the blocks that the hooded figure had used to block the exit was TNT, and the hooded figure had Flint and Steel! "Goodbye, Koopaling!" The TNT was lit and the hooded figure teleported away.
"I've got to find a way out of here!" Iggy started mining some of the Stone, but found that the walls were ten blocks thick! Iggy thought quickly and dug a five block deep hole, then jumped in just as the TNT detonated.
After the explosion, Iggy got out of the hole and escaped the trap. He then ran back to the house, only to see that it had all been consumed by flames.
"An entire day's worth of work…" Iggy said.
Lemmy came back…with an army of zombies, skeletons, creepers, and spiders chasing him. "HELP!" he yelled.
"Quick; let's get back inside our base!" Morton said. The Koopalings ran for their base in the mountain and Lemmy quickly shut the door.
"Phew…" Lemmy said.
"What about that other hooded figure? The one chasing me left after trapping me," Iggy said.
"I managed to kill him," Lemmy said. "He only dropped TNT and Flint and Steel, though."
"So those two people burned down our house. Are we going to continue to live in this cave?" Larry asked.
"Well, wasn't that room that we found Larry in and battled Dungzor in made out of Obsidian? Obsidian is blast resistant – let's go mine it!" Morton said.
They went back to Dungzor's base and Lemmy started mining the Obsidian.
"There's too much! It'll take the next few days if I'm the only mining it," Lemmy said.
"But you can only mine Obsidian with a Diamond Pickaxe; we only have Iron Pickaxes!" Larry said.
"Hmm…hey! Didn't Dungzor say he had a massive Diamond stash when we fought him?" Lemmy asked.
"He did! We'll find it!" Larry said.
While Lemmy mined the Obsidian, the other Koopalings looked around Dungzor's base for the Diamonds.
"Where could it be?" Morton sat down and rubbed his head in frustration.
"I thought I was the sneakiest, but this Dungzor guy really knows how to hide stuff," Larry sighed.
"Hmm…woah! What's this?" Morton and Larry ran to where Iggy was. There was a 32x32 room, and the entire room from the floor to the walls to the ceiling was made out of TNT!
"Dungzor must have made traps on the way to the stash of diamonds," Morton said.
"Yeah! Come on!" Larry ran into the room of TNT.
"Larry! Look out!" Iggy called out. Larry just barely avoided running into a pool of lava.
"Phew…" Larry jumped over the lava pit and continued, closely followed by the other Koopalings.
"Look! An Iron Door!" Morton pointed to an Iron Door.
"I have Redstone Torches to power it, but then the TNT will get blown up too," Iggy said.
"Um…TNT takes one hit to destroy," Morton said. He attacked the TNT and it disappeared, but it suddenly reappeared. "What?"
"We're on a multiplayer server…the blocks must be protected, like the Iron Door in the Bedrock cage I was in," Larry said.
"Well, we have to open the door…I know! Run through the door as soon as it opens, because TNT takes 4 seconds to explode!" Iggy said.
The other Koopalings nodded and ran up to the door. Iggy placed the Redstone Torch and the Iron Door flung open, but the TNT around it was ignited. The Koopalings quickly ran through the door and reached a dead end.
"Oh no! We're goners!" Morton said.
"No we're not; this dead end is made out of Obsidian and there's a door right here! Come on!" Iggy and the other Koopalings ran to the door and went inside the Obsidian base. The TNT exploded and made the entire area explode, but the Koopalings were safe because of the Obsidian shield.
"Phew…" Larry stepped outside the Obsidian shield. "Look; a tunnel! The TNT must have uncovered it!"
The Koopalings ran inside the tunnel, placing Torches as they went. Suddenly, Iggy ran over a Pressure Plate placed in the ground. It activated a ton of Pistons which shot tons of Gravel into the Koopalings' path!
"Wow! There must be 100 Gravel in each column that's in our way!" Morton exclaimed.
Iggy mined a piece of Stone next to the Pressure Plate, revealing a passage that connected the Pressure Plate and Pistons via Redstone.
"Only Ludwig could fully appreciate this…" Iggy said.
"We can just mine around the Gravel, can't we?" Morton asked.
"No can do; the walls are made out of Bedrock," Larry said.
"Hey Iggy, how many rows of Gravel are in our path?" Morton asked.
"Umm…about 25," Iggy replied.
"We're going to have to mine 2500 pieces of Gravel to get through here?" Morton exclaimed.
"Yep…it was a trap. Right here the roof is two blocks high, barely enough for us to stand, but where the pressure plate is, the roof is four blocks high; you're supposed to jump over the plate and not activate it," Larry said.
Morton looked to where Larry was pointing. "We have worse troubles…apparently, there were Pistons behind us too! The way back is blocked with Gravel!"
Larry looked down at the floor. "We can't mine under the Gravel either; the floor's made out of Bedrock!"
"Great…what are we going to do?" Morton asked.
"Hey, do you hear that?" Iggy asked. "Come over here!" Morton and Larry went to where Iggy was, behind the Pistons that shot Gravel behind them.
"It sounds like a Portal," Larry said.
"Hey, look, there's an Iron Door right here!" Morton said.
"Wow! How did I miss that while examining the Pistons?" Iggy exclaimed. Iggy went to the Iron Door and placed a Redstone Torch in front of it. The door swung open to reveal a small room with a Portal in it. There was Netherrack, Soul Sand, and a bit of Gravel around the Portal.
"It is a Portal! Let's go!" Morton said. Morton hopped inside the portal, followed by Larry and Iggy. Their vision started getting distorted until they warped away.
The Koopalings emerged on the other side of the Portal. "Where are we?" Morton asked.
Iggy stepped out of the Portal. "We're in the Nether! This is one of the most dangerous places in the entire world of Minecraft!"
"Look, another Portal!" Larry pointed to the other Portal. It was three blocks away from them.
"Let's see where it goes," Morton said. He hopped inside the Portal followed by Iggy and Larry. Their vision was once again distorted until they warped away and emerged on the other side of the Portal.
"Where are we now?" Morton asked. Larry stepped outside of the Portal and mined a piece of Stone. It revealed a tunnel lit up with Torches!
Larry mined another piece of Stone and went into the tunnel. "Guys, I think this the tunnel that we got stuck by Gravel in!" Larry said. Larry started exploring the tunnel, and sure enough, he found a bunch of Gravel in his path soon.
"Wow! That sure is a clever of Portal mechanics the creator of this did," Iggy said.
"Come on. Let's head the other way; Lemmy's probably wondering where we are," Morton said. The Koopalings went back to the 32x32 room of TNT they blew up, and back to the 8x8 room of Obsidian.
When they entered the 8x8 room, Morton just barely avoided falling into a gigantic pit! "Where'd this hole come from?" Morton asked.
Iggy peered down the hole and yelled, "Lemmy, are you there?"
After a few seconds, a reply came. "Yep! I've been mining the floor for ages; I have nearly one stack of Obsidian!"
"Wow! Is there any way to get back up?" Larry asked Lemmy.
"Yep! I put some Ladders on the side! Come on down!"
Iggy, Morton, and Larry climbed down the ladder to where Lemmy was mining the Obsidian.
"Did you find any more Diamonds?" Lemmy asked.
"Nope…there was a trap set up for us!" Larry said. He explained what happened to Lemmy.
"Wow! Well, I'm glad you were able to make it back here. I have about one and a half stacks of Obsidian. Let's make a small house right now, and I'll return here later and mine some more," Lemmy said. The other Koopalings nodded, and they went back to the surface.
The next few days were pretty boring for Larry, Iggy, and Morton. They explored all the caverns they could find, but they never could find any Diamonds. Iggy estimated that they had mined enough Gold to make 45 Gold Blocks, and enough Iron to make a stack and a half of Iron Blocks, even after making a full set of Iron tools and armor for all the Koopalings.
It was their twenty-fifth day in the world of Minecraft before anything exciting happened. Larry, Morton, and Iggy all had Iron Swords, Pickaxes, Shovels, Axes, and Hoes. Lemmy had a Diamond Sword and Diamond Pickaxe, as well as an Iron Shovel, an Iron Axe, and an Iron Hoe. All the Koopalings had full sets of Iron armor, as well as two buckets for each Koopaling, one bucket filled with water and the other filled with lava, as well as five or six cooked porkchops for each Koopaling. Their Obsidian house currently had three floors, with the fourth and final floor under construction.
"We haven't seen Dungzor or those two guys that burned down our wooden house in a while," Iggy said, while waiting for Lemmy to mine some more Obsidian.
"Yeah. Maybe we scared them off," Morton said.
"I just wonder where the other Koopalings are. I wonder if they've even logged onto Lemmy's server yet," Larry said.
"I don't know whether I wish they did or didn't. If they did, they're probably being held captive right now, but we could rescue them. If they didn't, they're not being held captive right now, so that's good, but then we'd wonder whether they're safe or not," Morton said.
"Let's just take a break from wondering and worrying and talk a little. Morton, that's the longest sentence you've said in this story. Whatever happened to you talking for 7 or 8 lines?" Iggy asked.
"Well, I just got tired of Roy bullying me and shoving socks up my mouth to shut me up. I just grew out of the habit, I guess," Morton said.
"And that's very good too, otherwise my ears would be sore right now," Larry said.
Lemmy climbed up the ladder. "Hey, guys, I got another three stacks of Obsidian! We'll be able to finish the house and have one stack left over!"
Iggy looked down into Lemmy's 'mine'. "Lemmy, did you mine all the Obsidian?"
"Yep! It goes all the way down to elevation 6, where there's Bed-ouch!" Lemmy was cut off by a twang!
"A Skeleton!" Morton exclaimed.
Twang! Twang! Twang! Twang! Twang! Arrows were machine-gunned at the Koopalings.
"It can't be; skeletons don't fire that fast!" Iggy said.
Lemmy quickly constructed a barrier made out of dirt. "Get behind this!" The Koopalings got behind the barrier.
"Who is that?" Larry asked.
Lemmy used his shovel to make a small hole in the dirt where they could see down to the bedrock layer. "It's another player. His name is Aughm."
"Hey, I think that's one of the guys who burned down our wooden house!" Iggy said.
"We can't fight back; none of us have arrows," Larry said.
"Let's make him think we've left, then go down the ladder and get him!" Morton said.
The Koopalings stayed behind the dirt barrier for five minutes until they heard something. "They must've left; I don't hear anything," a voice came.
"Yeah. Let's get back to our base and prepare for the attack."
"Now!" Lemmy said. The Koopalings went down the ladder and drew their swords.
"It's a trap! They were waiting for us to try to leave!" Aughm said.
"Let's get them!" another player, named Issrod, said.
"Iggy, Larry, you get Aughm! Morton and I will get Issrod!" Lemmy said. The Koopalings charged at their targets.
Iggy and Larry charged at Aughm. Aughm took out his Bow and started firing at the Koopalings. Larry and Iggy jumped and strafed to avoid the arrows, but they got hit by one arrow each. Larry and Iggy caught up to Aughm and Iggy hit him with his Iron Sword. Aughm then knocked back Larry and Iggy with his Iron Sword. Aughm climbed up a ladder and went into a cavern. Larry and Iggy ate cooked porkchops and followed Aughm.
Suddenly, Larry and Iggy reached a dead end. "Where'd he go?" asked Larry. Suddenly, the way back was covered with Stone!
"Hahaha! Looks like you two are going to be blown to bits!" Aughm laughed. He ignited some TNT.
"Quickly; make a hole to hide in!" Iggy and Larry dug holes and covered the entrance with Cobblestone. A loud boom was heard. They went back up and charged at Aughm.
"You better watch out, you better pout, you better cry, I'm telling you why; you are both going to die!" Aughm cackled maniacally and shot at the Koopalings once more, but Iggy and Larry expertly avoided the arrows. They caught up to Aughm and tried to hit him with their Iron Swords, but Aughm jumped to avoid the strike, and used his Flint and Steel to light Larry on fire!
"OUCH!" Larry started losing hearts rapidly. He poured the water from his bucket on him to douse the fire, then put it back in his bucket. "Phew…"
"No time to rest; come on!" Iggy and Larry continued chasing Aughm. Aughm kept firing arrows at them, but eventually, the Koopalings caught up to Aughm. Larry aimed at Aughm's legs with the Iron Sword and Iggy aimed at Aughm's head. Aughm jumped to avoid Larry's strike, but was hit by Iggy. Larry hit Aughm with his Iron Sword to finish him off.
"Grah!" Aughm died and dropped a Bow, 20 Arrows, 2 TNT, a Flint and Steel, 10 Stone, and an Iron Sword. Larry picked them all up.
"Phew! Now, let's go check on Lemmy and Morton!" Iggy said. Larry nodded and they ran off to where they came.
When they got back to where they were before Aughm and Issrod attacked them, they saw Issrod – holding Lemmy's Diamond Sword!
"Oh no! He has a Diamond Sword!" Larry said.
"Yes, your puny brothers were no match for my might – or, my TNT's might! En garde!" Issrod charged at Larry and Iggy. Larry shot at Issrod twice with his Bow and Issrod died, dropping a Diamond Sword and a Flint and Steel which Iggy picked up.
"He must've killed Lemmy and Morton; they're probably back at the house! Let's go!" Iggy said.
Iggy and Larry went back to the incomplete Obsidian house, only to find that Lemmy and Morton were nowhere to be found.
"What do you think happened to them?" Larry asked.
"Well, if you don't respawn in your bed when you die, you either get sucked out back to the real world, or…you die." Iggy gulped.
3 days passed in the world of Minecraft, and Iggy and Larry had looked for Lemmy and Morton nonstop, but hadn't found them. The Koopalings were currently looking in the place where Lemmy and Morton had battled Issrod.
"It's hopeless. We've looked for 3 whole days!" Larry said.
"We have to keep looking! We've just got to find them!" Iggy said.
"It's hopeless," Larry repeated. He walked over to the end of the cavern where Lemmy and Morton battled Issrod. "Hey, what's this?"
"What's what?" Iggy asked. Iggy went to where Larry was.
"This! There's Cobblestone right here!" Larry mined the Cobblestone and saw a massive underground city lit up with torches! "Wow!"
"Someone built an entire city underground?" Iggy exclaimed.
"Halt! Stay where you are!" a voice came.
Two people armed with Diamond Swords and had a complete set of Diamond armor came up to the Koopalings. "Who are you?" asked one of the people.
"We're Iggy and Larry Koopa. We're looking for our brothers, Lemmy and Morton," Iggy said.
One of the guards whispered something to the other, then said to the Koopalings, "Come with us." The guards started walking towards a gigantic castle. Iggy and Larry followed them.
