I hope this series is accepted by you guys because when ever I always plan too far ahead, and sometimes I end up spit balling these chapters. I have been playing a lot of Fallout new Vegas so that has me distracted because I am focusing more on the second phase of my dead space series, and my Fallout series, I got an idea while I used the embrace of the mantis king (From the gun runners arsenal DLC), and I thought why not have either Daniel, or the courier wield two of them, and a stealth boy making them like predator (Come on who doesn't think that predator is an epic, and honorable hunter ever). Sorry I should get into the new chapter in my minecraft series, and not discuss any more spoilers to my other series I own nothing except my character's name, the female knight, but I do not own my friend Dylan's name, that belongs to him. AXIOS.
(Zach's POV): My head pounded, and my right arm felt like it was burning, I opened my eyes, and saw that I was in a broken building, the place was crumbling piece by piece as if it was going to fall to come crashing down soon, I saw a bucket sitting on the other side of the room, using what ever strength I could muster I forced myself up, and walked. Step by step I my body ached, my thirst was the only thing motivating me to stay upright, I knelt down, closed my eyes, and took a hand full of water then slurped it down, I opened my eyes peering down into what ever was left in the bucket, my reflection in the water startled me, causing me to bolt backwards into a wall, then a tiny eye of Ender popped out of my leftt eye "Hello" it said in a high pitched voice, I yelped at the sight of the floating object. The tiny orb tried to get closer to me, I walked backwards with my hands at waist level signaling it to stay back "Look out" it squeaked, I lost my footing on a ledge then began to fall "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH" I screamed, then the tiny eye appeared in front of my face "Hang on" it said, I felt weightless then I was surrounded by blackness, then I felt my body become solid again, I was standing upright out on the broken street shaking from the shock. I was hyperventilating by the amount of crazy going on, I felt some thing in my left eye, then the tiny eye appeared again "Hello" it chirped, I couldn't muster any words to respond, I was about to shit my blocky britches so I found a bench in a ruined park, and sat down to catch my breath, all the while the tiny eye floated around me doing tricks "Why am I like this" I asked, my little companion stopped playing around, and hovered in my hand "You're an Ender wraith now, a Steve who has melded with an Ender man" the little one chirped, it then slid up my arm, and sat down on my shoulder "What is your name" it asked.
"My name is Zach, what's yours" I asked, the tiny eye started to fidget on my left shoulder trying to figure out his name, he then popped, and gave up "I don't have a name" he responded, I became shocked that some thing like him didn't have a name "No name huh, well then since you just came into this world today, then that makes today your birthday" I said, the tiny eye jumped up, and cheered "Hooray happy birthday to me" he cheered, I plucked him out of the air "Since it is your birthday, you need a name. How about Nav" I said, (I wanted to pay tribute to Skyrim tale since it ended 5 days before I wrote this chapter), the tiny Nav jumped out of my hands, and started to dance on the ground "My name is Nav, I have a name, and it is Nav" he danced.
I heard footsteps coming towards us "Uh oh danger" Nav quivered, he then flew up into the trees, then my vision changed, I then knew that I was seeing what Nav was seeing, there were two people walking up the path, the two of them carried a weapon on their person, I recognized the face of one of them as Dylan, I waved to get their attention "There you are" Dylan said, he ran up to me then slapped me on the back. I coaxed Nav to come down from the tree, Dylan, and the woman that was with him were startled by my tiny floating companion, Nav hid behind my shoulder with only a little bit of him peeking above the joint to see what was going on "Who are they" Nav asked, I gently patted Nav to calm him down "Nav I would like for you to meet my friend Dylan. Don't worry he wont hurt you" I said, Nav cautiously hovered over my arm, then got closer to Dylan "Hi I am Dylan" Dylan said, Nav squeaked then retreated back into my head.
(Dylan's POV): We all sat down in the park, Zach was confused about what happened to him, when I asked him how he was able to fight off a horde of zombies by himself without help from any one, and all that other shit he done he responded with "I don't know", he simply sat in front of me munching on bread, and pork chops occasionally stopping for air, or something to drink "You sure are hungry" I commented, Zach slammed down an empty bucket of milk, and belched "I guess I metabolism has been increased" he said, I folded my arms "As compared to before, when we hung out you barely ate anything" I said, my friend swallowed a bite from an apple "Because when I was at school, or out I take my medication, and I guess it wore off, so any ways who is the chick" Zach said, he gestured over to Jessica (The female night) "Her name is Jessica, she is the one who patched you up so be more respectful" I said, Zach then held his hands up in defense "Hey man you know me better than that, if she is the one who helped me then I am in her debt" Zach chuckled, I slapped my hand to my face "You, and your French honor" I groaned. While Jessica, and I ate across from our 'Ender wraith' friend, Zach was playing around with his friend Nav under the trees "Your friend seems very compassionate" Jessica said, I washed down some bread with water to respond "Well Zach isn't very normal, most of the time he is weird, but he always has my back, it's like a bond we have, where as he would rather examine, and prod problems, and has a head full of wild theories, I like to stay in the moment" I said, Zach, and Nav came over to us "Hey check this out, hit it Nav" Zach said, the little floating Ender eye split into multiple copies around Zach in a cylinder form, Zach then cracked his knuckles, and began to the Beverly hills cop theme by pressing the eyes, he began to move as if he was dancing, when he hit the final note the copies vanished into original form "I was never able to keep a beat, this feels great" Zach said. I stood up, and brushed the crumbs of bread off of my body then helped pack up the supplies, Jessica took point while Zach took up the rear with Nav, as we walked through the ruins Zach had sent out multiple forms of Nav out to explore the area "What is this place" Zach said breaking the silence, Jessica stopped then turned to Zach "This server once thrived with players, building, fighting, hunting, mining, trading until one day the mobs that had always never bothered us attacked the cities driving any survivors into exile" Jessica said, Zach dropped his pack on the ground "But there has to be some survivors, I mean what about those who respawn when they die" Zach pondered.
"They were captured by the skeleton king, until they found a way to completely stopped players from respawning at the original spawn point, not even those who slept in beds respawned. But there were some who were gifted with undeath, these people were like you Zach, the powers of an Enderman, and the ability to respawn the same place the curse was placed on you" Jessica said, Zach looked at Nav whom was orbiting around Zach's head "But what happened to these people" Zach asked, it was my turn to answer "They were captured, and forced to serve the skeleton king as his hunters. This server was once filled with mods, players were able to create cars, aircraft, even cloning machines but after the mobs became too powerful, and took over the place, every one forgot how any thing that advanced worked. Basically they all hide in secret conclaves using what ever base minecraft skills they knew to survive, and all these whack jobs came up with the idea that one day two players who are trapped in the server would arise to bring them out of hiding, and bring back their old ways" I said, we continued to walk through the ruined city. Night began to fall, and the servants of the skeleton king began to spawn around us, Jessica, and I tried to use our weapons to hold them off but Zach did nothing, he shook himself out of a trance "This way there are some guns in there" Zach said, Jessica, and I were puzzled at what Zach said "There hasn't been any guns built in years bro" I called out, but Zach ran into a broken store, we had no choice but to follow, we slammed the door shut, and barricaded it "Alright where are these guns" Jessica asked, Zach pointed to the counter top but there was nothing on it "Zach you are losing your mind" I said, he blew me off then walked up to the counter, he began to bang on the counter, then a purple crack appeared on the counter top, Zach reached in, and pulled out two pistols, and ammo to go with it "Believe me now" Zach said, he tossed the ammo, and guns to Jessica, and I.
The mobs had broken through, and we were running low on ammo so Zach began to search for a way out "To the roof top" Zach said, we turned around, and followed Zach up the stair case just as the mobs began to pour in, Zach kept tossing extra ammo to us as we fought off the wave of mobs. On the roof there was nothing but a flat surface "GAH, man where is there just a big friendly button" I groaned, Zach then tossed a tiny object at me, I read the label on the side 'Big friendly button' I laughed "Ha ha big friendly button" I said, I armed it, then tossed it down the stairs, Zach was furiously pacing as the mobs drew back their attack "There should be a helicopter up here" Zach said, now I know he was losing it "There are no more helicopters they were destroyed, and forgotten" Jessica said, Zach kicked the ground "No there is one right here, how come you can't see it" Zach growled, he stamped his foot on the old helipad, and parts began to float into the center of the pad forming a helicopter. Zach stared at the creation with a look of shock plastered on his face "I didn't do that, I couldn't have done that" Zach stammered, the mobs began to surge again "Who cares lets go" I said, I got in the pilot's seat while Jessica placed the gear in the back, Zach stood there on the pad not moving, he stared at his two different hands, he was shaking in place, Jessica got out of the helicopter to get Zach on board.
(Jessica's POV): "Come on Zach we have to go now" I said, I tried pulling his arm but a purple aura swirled around him "I can't, what is happening to me" Zach whimpered, there was a hint of fear in his voice, the aura glowed brightly, and a pulse surged outwards, the shock wave shook the building, I could feel the supports begin to break "Zach we have to go now, this place isn't going to stay up any longer" I shouted, Zach continued to stand there staring at his hands, another pulse came out of Zach sending a couple of mobs flying off the edge of the building. I slapped Zach across the face to snap him back into reality, I pulled him into the helicopter, but we couldn't launch then I realized that the clamps were still latched to the landing gear of the helicopter, we couldn't get them loose, and the building was already starting to collapse Zach's eyes began to glow, and an explosion went off under the helicopter, detaching us from the pad as the building finally gave way. We were flying over the ocean by the time the moon was in the middle of the sky, I scooted over to Zach to check on him "You alright" I asked, Zach's face showed fear within it "What is happening to me, this is too much" Zach whimpered, I placed my hand on his left shoulder, and used my right hand to move his head to face me "I am here, you are alive, and so is Dylan, no matter what you did you managed to save us" I said, I tried my best to be reassure him but I wasn't a psychiatrist, I spent my entire life fighting "Look I have been waiting for some one like you to show up" I said, Zach just uttered a small chuckle "What's funny" I asked, Zach reached under his shirt, and pulled out a small pendant, it was decorated to jewels, a cross, and other things surrounding a banner "My family is filled with brave men, and women, I am suppose to be a descendant of the bravest of warriors, the ruthless of pirates, silent assassins, clever thieves, faithful saints, and yet I am crying like a child, some protector of France I am" Zach criticized. I looked even closer at his crest, I was blown away at the commendations, and runes that decorated the banner of his family, I placed the pendant back in its spot underneath Zach's shirt "You are not them Zach, their lives, their actions, even their deeds are not yours. Your family's history doesn't make you who you are, it just lays the foundation of whom you become, and below that scarred flesh of yours lays raw metal to be forged into a true hero of this world" I said, Zach sat on the edge of the open door looking over the ocean, wrecks of ocean liners, and cargo ships littered some parts of the ocean, Zach sat there, and said nothing, I went up to the cock pit of the helicopter, and sat next to Dylan "Jessica, if only you knew more" Zach whispered.
There is the second chapter, I wanted to make it long, but tried to include as much detail as I could. AXIOS.
