Hello! I am sorry this took so long. And I'm sorry it's so short but I figured I need to give you guys something. So enjoy and review :)
Last time: She knew he wouldn't hear but really at the moment what else could she do.
"At first." He muttered. "What the hell does that mean? Was she planning to use me for something else in her stupid diabolical plan?" He muttered bitterly. He sighed, "Well that's what I get for trusting someone." He muttered, staring at the ground. He stayed like this for a while but soon he thought it best to get back to Blackrock. So he did what he always did... he tried to forget. He flew back to Blackrock and went on with his life. He tried to forget how her smile could light up the castle on a rainy day. He tried to forget how it felt to sleep next to her. He tried to forget... her. He got rid of everything that reminded him of her. He had the mooshrooms transported somewhere else. He tore down the FARM sign and he watched as her beloved fruits and vegetables grew rotten. Even after all of this, he couldn't help the miniscule smile that appeared on his face when he saw a mushroom. He soon grew powerful and he was probably the richest person in the world of Tekkitopia. But as his power grew, his sanity shrunk. He talked to himself more and sometimes when he had accidentally forgotten past events he found himself having one-sided conversations with a make-believe Zoey. How long had it been? Since the red-haired girl set foot in Blackrock?(He refused to say her name) Rythian sometimes asked himself on some days. 1 month? 2 months? 3? He didn't know. When he flew about his base working the days and nights seemed to blur together because she wasn't there to pull him back down to Earth.
Zoey...
It had been about 4 months since Zoey left Blackrock. She had stayed with Lalna ever since. He didn't seem to mind. He enjoyed the company. At night she didn't sleep, she wandered around Lalna's castle taking small things like a stack of red matter here, a piece of armor there. Honestly with Lalna having so much stuff he really didn't notice. He just thought he forgot to make it. This made Zoey's job much easier. In her shared room with Teep, she had a secret chest hidden behind a painting where she had her base of operations. In the chest held all the armor, weapons, rings, everything and anything she would need to bring Duncan and Sjin down to their knees. Teep had his own chest, too. With his own kind of armor and weapons. It also had a disturbingly large amount of raw meat but Zoey didn't ask about that. It was only a matter of time before Zoey would put her plan into action.
Rythian...
He was growing restless. Everything was quiet from Duncan and Sjin and it made him nervous. By this time Rythian's sanity was no longer with him. His only companion was himself. The golems had left saying they found better work, the dogs ran away, and now Rythian was truly alone. He had his ultimate weapons. He had his ultimate armor and now all he could do was wait. And wait he did.
Zoey...
She smiled as she placed the last of new armor in the chest. She was ready to begin her plan. She wrote out three letters, each assigned to a certain person. She took great care in writing these. The first one was for Rythian and she had Teep fly to Blackrock and put it in front of the doorstep. The second one was for Sjin and she had Teep put that in the chest at Sjin's bed. The third one was for Duncan and Zoey delivered that one. She stuck it in the sorting facility. Duncan would surely find it there. The damn thing was always breaking anyway.
Rythian...
Rythian stepped outside and something crinkled under his foot. He looked down and saw a letter with his name on it. He bent down and picked it up. He quickly tore it open and read every word with care. When he was done his lips spread into a wide and evil grin.
Zoey...
Zoey watched as Duncan pulled out the letter stuck in the sorting box. "Hey Zoey look! Someone stuck a letter in the sorting machine. I wonder how they got in to the castle?" He said, staring at the letter. "What does it say?" Zoey asked, trying to lead him away from that question. Duncan tore the letter open, "Dear Duncan. The time for war is now... There's a set of coordinates and no signature." He said. "It's probably Rythian." He muttered. Zoey flinched slightly at the name and there was a slight pain in her chest. "Zoey do you mind taking care of the castle? I have to go." He said, getting his power armor out of the chest. Duncan probably thought he would win. That he was unstoppable. Too bad he was so wrong.
