G'day Casters, I'm back for chapter 28! Okay, so, I will be giving the characters a break. From now on to the ending we will have a bit less action. Maybe. I will actually be going to the future a bit so there may still be action. I don't know. Let's find out.
Enjoy!
Chapter 28: Next-Gen MCP
Year = 2039
Night Fury Chris's POV:
I was in Terabithia, checking something that young Jedi Knight Dylan Skywalker, son of Ben Skywalker and Vestara Skywalker, had found on the scanners. "Looks like it may be just a solar flare messing with the scanners. Keep an eye on it though," I said. "Will do, Master Lalk," he said. (A/N Sorry, couldn't think of a better fake last name… lol) I left the command room to find Rebecca showing one of our sons how to use a sword. He was the youngest, and had just become old enough to learn how to fight alongside us. "Good work Oscar, you are getting better at that," I said. "Thanks dad," he replied. "I wouldn't put you up against your big sister yet though, she's almost good enough to defeat Master Ben Skywalker!" Said Rebecca. "Yes, Savara is doing well for her age. Even I would have had trouble beating Ben when I was 14," I said. "Well, we should get home. It's getting really late," said Rebecca. I agreed and transformed. They got on my back and we left the castle. I noticed Savara flying around up above, because she was also Dragonborn and could become an Ice Fury. I flew up to see why she was here. "Hey Savara, out for a fly?" I asked when I got close. "Actually, we got a problem. You know how you told us about that time when you and the rest of the old Minecast Productions got sent to an alternate reality? Well, it looks like something has happened. Two kids who have identified themselves as Elaine Trahl and James Tav'rel from Terabithia somehow found their way to our house. They had a symbol on their shirts that they identified as the Terabithian Royal Army's logo but as far as I know, Terabithia uses the Casters Network logo," she said. "Hang on, how old are they?" I asked. "About 11 or 12 I think," she said. "How the hell? We met those two when we got transported through realities, but they were the same age as you just said. And we did that when I was your age," I said. "What? So the timeline there has messed itself up? Or they've travelled through time?" Asked Rebecca, confused. "You remember them, don't you Becca?" I asked. "Yeah, I remember them," she said. "Well, let's go see them and find out what happened. Lead the way Savara!" We followed Savara back home where we found our other two kids taking care of the two Terabithians, who didn't look great. Dad, do you know these two?" Asked Lyla. "Yeah, what happened to you two?" I asked the two friends. "Who are you?" Asked James. Ah, right, they won't recognise us because I'm 38 and Rebecca is 37. Not 14 and 13. "So you don't know them," said Felix, Lyla's twin brother. "James, Elaine, remember when you helped Minecast Productions in a different reality? I'm Night Fury Chris and this is Rebecca, the shape shifter," I said. "How have you grown so much in the past week?" Asked Elaine. "It's been about 24 years since that happened for us," answered Rebecca. "So, we time travelled? Interesting. As for what happened to us, we're not really sure. The author got us out of the Darklands and we got back to Terabithia. After a week or so, we came across a white tree. It wasn't just white, it was glowing white. It sucked us in, and we found ourselves here. We walked around for a few days, trying to find help, but obviously we ended up in a bad part of town. We got beat up a bit and thought we wouldn't find anything nice, that it would be how we ended. But then we came across Savara. She brought us back here and Lyla and Felix have been helping us while Savara went to get you guys," said Elaine. "Well, you did the right thing Savara. But now we should probably figure out how to get you guys back to your Terabithia. Until then, you can stay in this reality's Terabithia. I'm sure King Jess and Queen Leslie will want to help. But you're going to need some new clothes too," I said, smiling. Rebecca grabbed some clothes and the two kids put them on. Savara and I then took them to Terabithia where Leslie and Jess took them and gave them a room to stay in. We left the castle after saying goodbye and promising to help out. I looked up. "Author, what is going on? Why are they here?" I asked. No reply, didn't expect one anyway. Couldn't hear the author's notes in our reality so yeah. "It's almost dark, we should head home and get dinner. I'm starving!" Said Savara. I laughed. "How come you are so much like me?" I asked. "Well, Lyla and Felix take after mum, so it kinda makes sense for me and Oscar to take after you," she said. "True." We arrived at our home in Narnia and I made dinner. I made a bunch of Hawaiian Pizzas and we ate them while watching Star Wars. I remember liking the effects in the prequels and sequels (Episodes 7, 8, and 9) but compared to now, those effects sucked! Oh well. After watching episode 1 and finishing our pizzas, we went to bed.
Ice Fury Savara's POV:
I woke up and headed down stairs to have breakfast. I saw a note on the table. I looked at it, confused. 'You are mine.' I put it back on the table and looked around, panicking. I knew what had happened to my parents and their group back in the author's reality. But I thought they had killed the guy. Apparently not. I looked back at the table and saw another note. 'I don't have control over this. Be careful, I can't help this time. –Author' I stared at the note in horror. We had no help. We didn't know if we would win. We were screwed. I ran upstairs and woke mum and dad. "The guy is back, and the author can't help!" I said, showing them the notes. "Oh for fucks sake. Not good," said dad. I didn't care that he was swearing, I was internally swearing right now too. They got up and I left them to get dressed. I woke up the others. Once everyone was dressed, we met in the living room. "Okay, we need to get the rest of Minecast Productions. We also need to get Elaine and James because they also helped fight this guy before," said dad. "Last time though, we had the Republic, the Virtcast, the Terabithian Royal Army, the entire Casters Network, and the author helping us. How are we supposed to defeat him this time if the author has no control over what happens?" Asked mum. "Well, you have the next generation of Minecast Productions, and the Casters Network in general. We can do it!" Said Felix. I looked at him. "Yeah, a generation that isn't even fully trained is totally going to help. Keep dreaming bro," I said. "Your sister is right, you guys aren't fully trained. Though it will be nice to have the extra help. If we can figure out how to connect to the Bridge To Terabithia 2 reality, we might be able to get their help," said dad. "Let's get going then!" Said Lyla. Dad, Oscar, and I all transformed into Furies. (Oscar is a Light Fury) Lyla got on me, Felix got on Oscar, and mum got on dad. We flew to the houses of the rest of MCP and they all followed us to Terabithia. An emergency meeting was called. My siblings and I sat with our friends and cousins near the exit of the room. I was sitting between Lyla and my cousin, Harry. The adults made a plan, and we were in.
I was on the Bedrock Commodore with Felix, Harry, and dad. Lyla, Oscar, and mum were taking the Super Lazuli and were right beside us. "Alright, if we can get this guy before he multiplies, we can win easily. But if he multiplies, we may be effed up," said dad. "Alright, so let's get this attack started! Do we know where the guy is?" Asked Harry. Harry was a year older than me, 15. I was 14, Felix and Lyla were 12, and Oscar was 10. "Unfortunately, we do not know exactly where he is. But since Felix and Savara have agreed to let themselves get captured to find his lair, we should be okay. Though I'm still not completely for this plan, I don't like the idea of you two getting capture by the guy," he said. I looked at him and smiled. "Nothing will happen to us, you know that daddy. We've been trained by the best!" I said. "Savara's right dad, we can handle ourselves," said Felix. "I know you can. But still, I really don't want to lose you guys," he said. "You won't. I promise," I said, smiling. I hugged him and we went to the exit. Dad brought the warship close to the ground over our house and we jumped out, Felix using the force to soften the impact of landing for both of us. I still didn't know how Felix and Lyla were force sensitive, since neither dad nor mum were. Maybe they got that as a replacement for mum's shape shifting. I watched the Bedrock Commodore go back to where the Super Lazuli was landed at Cair Paravel. We went inside the house. "Okay, dad said it was the computer screens that set the guy after them. I think there should be an old computer from back then in the garage," I said. We went to the garage and dug out an old thing that was apparently a computer. Apparently this was dad's computer from back when the caves first appeared. Felix had put on his HoloLens 2.0 and was scanning the PC. "I have no idea what any of this means. The processor is an Intel i7 4770k, the two graphics cards are both NVidia GeForce GTX 780 Ti OCs, 16 Gigabytes of RAM, and a bunch of other stuff that makes even less sense. And holy crap, it uses Windows 7! How bloody old is that piece of crap?" I tried to pick up the computer but it was way too heavy. "Man, how the hell did they get this thing in here?" Felix used the force and took it over to where my computer was hooked up to a few monitors. I unplugged mine and plugged in the old one. "Now is the ultimate question, will it run?" "Let's find out." Felix pushed the power button and the computer started blasting air and dust out the back. I coughed. "Man, this thing is loud! And dusty," I said. It was indeed very loud compared to modern computers, which didn't make a noise at all. I looked at the screen and saw 'Starting Windows' written there with the classic Windows logo. It soon started up and I saw an old Minecast Productions desktop background. The interface was also completely different, and very confusing at first glance. "Alright, now what?" I asked. "Possibly need to connect it to the internet. If it's even compatible with modern internet," said Felix. I clicked on what looked like it might be an internet thing and it came up with our internet. I pressed connect and entered the password. It managed to connect fairly quickly. A window came up. 'Your Bull Guard license has expired 23 years ago. Would you like to renew it?' "Bull Guard? Is that some sort of antivirus?" I asked. "It does say 'the best internet security program in the UK' right there you know," said Felix. "Right, didn't see that," I said, embarrassed that I didn't notice that even though it filled up half the window. I closed Bull Guard because we didn't need an antivirus right now. "So now what? We've connected to the internet, closed the antivirus, what else can we do?" As I said that, the screen went white. "We've done it, apparently," said Felix. 'You are mine.' "Apparently," I repeated. I heard something fall to the floor and turned around. Felix was gone. "Not good." I then got hit on the back of the head and was knocked unconscious.
Jedi Youngling Lyla's POV:
As I watched the monitor in the Super Lazuli, I saw Felix's tracking device disappear. Then Savara's. "They're gone. Where, I don't know, but the tracking devices aren't showing up anymore," I said. Oscar and mum came over. Mum grabbed her commlink. "Well, the tracking devices didn't work. Let's hope they use the backup plan," she said. "I can see that. Rebecca, get Sarah. We need Tey to stay at the base scanners, so I'll get Josiah," said dad. "Copy that." She powered up the engines and we flew back to Terabithia.
The two huge warships landed in Terabithia. I followed mum off the ship with Oscar. Dad and Harry came over. "Didn't go as planned. Hope that backup works," said Harry. "Yeah, let's hope. I don't want to lose the best siblings ever," I said. Oscar agreed. "We won't lose them. Don't worry," said mum. We went inside the castle and found Aunt Sarah and Josiah. "Hey mate. We need to get ready. The main plan didn't go right, but the backup could work and it shouldn't be too long before they realise their trackers are down and activate it," said dad. "Alright, let's go," said Josiah. "I hope the backup plan works," said Peter, Josiah's son. He tried to hide it, but it was fairly obvious he had a crush on Savara. He was the same age as her, and they hung out a fair amount. Savara didn't want me to say anything, but she had told me that she also had feelings for Peter. I agreed to keep it a secret between the two of us and just let Savara handle it herself. "Don't worry Peter she'll be fine. I know it, because she's my sister. And considering I have the force, I can sense that she isn't in much danger," I said. "Can't you message her through the force?" He asked. "Only Felix. But it's easier for him to message me because he's a lot more focused on the force. It's challenging and takes a while for me to send him messages if he's not in the same building or area as me, all I can do is nudge him in the force when he's too far away," I told him. "You're getting there, don't worry," said Master Ben Skywalker. When I graduated from youngling to padawan, Ben said he would be my mentor and teach me all he knew about the force. I was almost to padawan stage, Felix and I were advancing a lot faster than most Jedi. We also got Elaine and James. We went back to the ships and got in. Sarah, Elaine, and James came with us while Josiah and Peter went with dad and Harry. "They should have noticed the trackers were down by now. Lyla, give Felix a little nudge," said Sarah. I touched his aura and gave him a little nudge. He replied with a clear message after a few seconds. "Hey sis, we're okay. I'm guessing the tracker is being blocked because it says it's enabled. Nudge once if yes, twice if no." I sent one nudge. "Okay, activating plan B. We'll be back soon, I promise. Love you sis!" I looked to the monitors. "The backup plan is active. Let's go!" I heard dad say over the comms. Plan B was simple. Savara would place an ice antenna and Felix would use it to strengthen an already powerful force pulse which could go through any walls, and any jammers, and would reach a specially built receiver on the two warships and the Terabithian castle. We went full blast towards the signal.
We found ourselves at an abandoned military base on the planet of The Last Of us. "Alright, watch out for infected," said dad. By now, most of this world's people had died off and become infected. Clickers and bloaters were a lot more common. There were only a few clans of survivors across the entire US now. "Let's go." We moved in. I had my lightsaber in hand and was searching the rooms using the force. A clicker came out of nowhere and grabbed Peter. I quickly ignited my sabre and sliced the clicker in half before it bit Peter. "I hate those things," said Oscar. We had been here before, last year. It didn't go well. But we all survived so it was okay. I heard something. "Oh shit! Bloater!" Said dad. I was about to remind him that Oscar and I were here when a huge bloater appeared out of nowhere. It through a spore at us. We scattered, getting away from it. Dad transformed into a Night Fury while Oscar transformed into a Light Fury. They started blasting the thing. I ducked under another spore and ran at it. I used the force to stop it throwing another spore and sliced its hands off. I then spun around and stabbed it, lifting my sabre up and cutting it in half. "Well, I'm glad we brought a Jedi along," said Oscar, transforming back. "You're welcome," I said. We continued through the base. "I feel like we're being watched," I said. "A feeling you have? Or is it through the force?" Asked mum. "Through the force," I answered. "Alright, everyone keep an eye out," said dad. We came across and room with a closed door. I searched the room and found two life signs. They weren't my siblings, but they seemed injured and tired. Almost felt like they had been tortured recently. I used the force to unlock the door and I opened it. I went in with mum right behind me. There was a boy and a girl lying on the floor, cuts and bruises visible all over their bodies. Mum seemed to recognise the boy because she ran over to him. Dad came in and saw the two kids. He also recognised the boy. The girl tried to get up, and barely succeeded. She limped her way over to where mum and dad were checking on the boy. When it seemed clear that she wasn't going to be friendly, I used the force to push her away. Mum and dad heard her cry of pain as she hit the ground. Dad went over to her. "Are you okay?" He asked in a gentle voice. The girl didn't seem to be much older than 15, while the boy looked about 14. "Get away! I won't let you hurt the king anymore! Do what you want to me, but don't torture the king," she said, sounding scared and angry. "Shh, calm down. We don't want to hurt either of you," he said. "I don't believe you!" She yelled. I sent a wave of calmness in the force and she calmed down. "Dad's right, we won't hurt you. We are here to help," I said, going over to her. I don't know whether it was what I was doing with the force or if I had actually convinced her, but she didn't seem to be scared or angry anymore. I saw a faint symbol on her torn shirt and used the force to show dad. He saw it and looked at the girl. "Samantha?" He asked. The girl looked at him. "Who are you?" She asked. "Night Fury Chris, owner of Minecast Productions," he said. "Chris? How did you grow so much in a few weeks?" She asked. Elaine and James came up. "It was a few weeks for us, 24 years for them," said James. "James? Elaine? You guys got sent here too?" Asked Samantha. "Yes. And this is Minecast Productions, the same group that we helped in the author's reality," said Elaine. "What happened to you two? And where's Leslie?" Asked mum. "The guy. He's back. He kidnapped Jess and I and has been torturing us for fun. He's a twisted evil bastard. I don't know about Leslie. I only hope she's safe," she said. "I hope she's safe as well. But for now, we need to get you two to safety, find Savara and Felix, and get the hell outta here," said dad. "We can take them," said James. "I'll go with them to keep them safe," said Oscar. "I'll go too," said Josiah. "Alright, you six go back to the ships. We'll find Savara and Felix and meet you there," said Sarah. "Sounds good. Alright Peter, stick with them. Stay safe," said Josiah. "Will do dad," said Peter. Josiah picked up Jess while James and Elaine helped Samantha back to the ships. We continued on through the base. We found another room and I sensed family aura. I force blasted the door and it swung open. And there was Felix and Savara. I ran in and hugged them. "I told you we'd be fine," said Savara. She let go of me and went over to dad. She hugged him. "I never doubted you," he said. Mum hugged Felix and Savara and I went to talk to Felix. "As I said, we're perfectly safe," he said. I smiled. "Good. I would have killed you if you had let the guy kill you," I said. "How does that even work? I'd already be dead!" He said. We laughed and I hugged him again. We looked over to where Peter was talking to Savara. "So glad the backup plan worked," he said. "I bet you are," teased Savara. "And what's that supposed to mean?" He defended. "You're not exactly doing good at hiding the fact that you have a crush on me Peter," she said. Peter didn't say anything, and I could tell he was embarrassed. I didn't expect what Savara did next though. She held his hand and gave him a peck on the cheek. His face went red. Felix and I laughed our arses off. Savara also laughed. She came back to where we were standing. "Good going Sav," I said. "I don't think watching TV is quality entertainment, but that definitely was. Nice one," said Felix. We laughed again. "Alright, I hate to break up what sounds like a fun conversation, but we have to go," said dad. "Alright, let's get going," said Savara, becoming serious again.
After we had made our way out of the base, and gotten on the ships, we initiated the second half of the plan. Part 2 was much easier. We faced the warships directly at the base, powered up the main guns, and blasted the base to pieces. We were about to leave when we noticed a white glow coming fromone of the rooms that had been revealed by the blast. "That could be him, let's check it out," said dad. We agreed and rode the Dragonborns back down to the base.
Jedi Youngling Felix's POV:
We landed and the dragons transformed back to human. We entered the room and found what we weren't expecting. Jess and Samantha were still on the Bedrock Commodore with James and Elaine, but this was something all four of them would like. There were a bunch of what looked like doors, all glowing. Above them were signs. Bridge To Terabithia 2: Return of the Queen, Central Reality, The Dragoncast Games, Sister Holidays, Dragons In The Stars, P.I.E.. We looked at the signs, not recognising them at first. But then mum and dad seemed to click. "These are the names of the other FanFictions, aka the other realities. I guess Central Reality is the author's reality or something," said mum. "Makes sense," said dad. "Uh, Rebecca, Chris, might want to look behind us," said Sarah. We all looked behind us and saw the guy. I ignited my green sabre and Lyla ignited her blue sabre. "Careful kids," said Josiah. I sensed Oscar and Savara transforming. I also saw Peter grab his sword. Dad and Sarah transformed, and mum also transformed into a Crocagon. We all rushed the guy at once and surprisingly, he didn't multiply or teleport away. He seemed to panic, something was blocking him from using his powers. Lyla and I reached him first and I locked blades with him. But without his power, he was much more defenceless. Lyla came up behind him and stabbed him. He fell down and vanished. "Well that was anti-climactic. What the hell happened there?" Asked dad. "I gained control," said a voice that sounded like a very young version of dad. We looked behind us and saw a kid, around 14. He was holding what looked like an old iOS device in his hands. "So I guess you skipped straight from the last battle to here because there was no action in between. It was peaceful. Screw you author, but thanks for helping out at the end there," said dad. Wait, this is the author? He's a kid! "Kids, say hello to the author of our reality. Minecast Chris," said dad. "So basically he's you," said Savara. "Your dad is indeed a fairly OC version of me. That is correct Sav," he said. "Aw, I like your younger version," said Lyla. The Bedrock Commodore came down and hovered with one of the feet right next to the door of the room. "How?" I asked. "I have control over it. I'm basically the God of these realities. I decide what happens. I guess we can say that the guy is probably the equivalent of Satan. But let's hope he's gone for good this time," said Chris. The Terabithians came out. "So the author finally decides to show his face and help," said Samantha. "Sorry, the guy completely locked me out of my laptop. I had to create this chapter on my iPod and I only just got to this part. Sorry Sam," he said. "Hey, at least you helped us in the end," said Jess, who had finally woken up. "One last thing before I send you back to your reality." All the wounds on Jess and Samantha healed themselves and they didn't have to hold on to the ship to stay up anymore. "Thanks author," said Samantha. "Not a problem, and call me Chris. Or Minecast Chris," he said. "Alright Chris. By the way, is the queen safe?" Asked Elaine. "She is fine. Don't worry about her," he said. "Thank you. We should be getting back to Terabithia now, see ya guys!" Said Jess. "Bye! We'll miss you!" Said Lyla. They walked through the portal back to their FanFic. "Alright, the timelines should have lined up but I guess they didn't. It should be fixed now, so if you went through that portal you would be in a place with them being the same age as you. The year will be a bit off because BTT2 starts in 2011 but DCP starts in 2014. Oh well. Anyway, you guys should get home. I'll be heading home too. Unfortunately, I will have to disable these portals. But I'll have them fully under my control from now on," said Chris. "Alright mate. We'll see you another time!" Said dad. "See ya guys!" We said goodbye and watched him go through the portal. We then went back home. When we arrived at home, I saw the TV was on. We looked at it and Jess, Elaine, James, Samantha, and another girl appeared. I guessed the other girl was Leslie because she looked very similar to our Leslie. "Hey, just want to thank you again for helping us out! I hope the author makes a place where we can all just go and hang out without worrying about enemies. That'll be good. Anyway, thanks again! Hope to talk to you guys again soon! Terabithia out." They disappeared. "Hear that author? Make some sort of club reality where all the FanFictions can get together and have fun!" Said mum. The TV came on again. This time it was Chris. "Will do guys. Now, I'm going to watch a movie and go to bed. You guys should do the same. You've earned it! Have a good sleep Minecast Productions!" He said. "You too author!" We said. The TV turned off again and we did exactly what Chris had suggested.
Hope you enjoyed that! Getting closer and closer to our ending mark. I will also be revealing a surprise in chapter 30, the last chapter. Or is it? You'll have to wait and see! Anyway, I'm going to probably go do exactly what I said I would do and go watch and movie before heading off to bed! Have a good night/day everyone!
