A/N: Hey guys! I can't believe you guys like this story so much! I was not disappointed when I came back. You people are awesome, just stay that way, K? Great :P Thanks to IEcho13 and HerobrineKingOfTheNether for their OC'S, Echo and Raven (I think you can guess whose OC is whose :D ) Anyway, ON WITH THE STOREH!
Uh oh. I looked up, then quickly looked down, hoping and praying he wouldn't recognize me. He looked down at us, with our eyes on the floor, and I quickly glanced up to see a grin forming on his face. He let out a chuckle and said, "Good to see some recruits are still having fun. Considering the squids are being pretty restless, it is good to see some people keeping the Sky Army Spirit. Go on, sorry to interrupt. Have fun," he said, a pained grin on his face as he ushered us along. Crispin turned to me, shrugged, and kept running and screaming and cheering. I happily followed, still thanking Notch that Sky hadn't recognized me. Finally, we slumped down underneath a tree, realizing we got absolutely nothing done today at all. Sparklez caught up to us, and we all sat under the birch tree outside of the crafting hub, laughing and catching our breath. Then me, being the genius that I am, realized that Wolf was nowhere to be found. "Where's Wolf?" I asked, sparking the genius in my companions. At that very moment the person I just realized to be missing decided now was a good time to pop out of his hiding spot up in the birch tree and scare the crap out of us. "OMIGODWOLFIHATEYOURIGHTNIWICANTBREATHENOTCHHELPME !" I screamed, basically crushing the life out of Crispin and Sparklez. "Oh, Sorry," I said, mumbling and releasing the poor boys. "Hey," Crispin said, "I just realized that we are only in crafting for a week. Dang." Oh wow, I just realized that too. "Well, most days I need to eat with the other officers, but when I'm free I will eat with you, and Wolf has no friends, so he will probably hang with you," Sparklez said, and I silently celebrated my victory. "Well, we have two other friends, Tobi and Parker, so they'll be sitting with us also, m'kay?" I said, and after two nods of agreement we decided to go back and get something done so it didn't seem like we completely wasted the day.
The next week was filled with fun and crafting and such. We made tons of butter swords, and the best part? Sky still didn't suspect a thing. I spent my days in the reading room, or so he thought. Next we were moving to PvP with BajanCanadian and ASFJerome. Coolio. Once again, I was with Crispin, and we approached the PvP arena. We all picked up a bow, sword, and an axe, and a full set of leather armor, and we were then ushered towards the sign in table. Another bored looking recruit sat behind the table, handed us our nametags, and gave us a timeslot. We were next along with some others to show BajanCanadian and ASFJerome our skills. I might as well just come right out and say it. I suck at PvP. I can only fight well with an axe, and it doesn't really do much damage unless it's the one I took from the armory. Anyway, I wasn't too excited to make a fool out of myself, but sometimes my instincts take over and I'm like the best PvPer in the universe and beyond. Probably not but you get what I'm sayin. Anywayz, we walked up the steps when we heard our time was called, to be met with a huge arena made entirely out of butter, smooth stone, and glass. In the center stood a boy with longish brown hair and chocolate brown eyes, with a red checkered hoodie and a white shirt, faded navy blue jeans, and red sneakers. He leaned onto a diamond sword that was tip down dug into the ground. Alongside the boy stood a fluffy creature, covered in brown fur. He wore a black suit with a red tie. He had two fangs that showed when he opened his mouth, and was equipped with a butter axe. I immediately recognized the two as BajanCanadian and ASFJerome. I nudged Crispin and he just nodded, obviously in awe of the two. We had walked in with two other girls, and they stood on either side of Crispin and I. One girl had rainbow hair and brown eyes that took in all of the surroundings. She wore white shorts, a black hoodie that just happened to have a very creepy looking smiling creeper on the back, and black headphones hung around her neck. She, unlike the rest of us, had 2 wooden swords instead of a sword and an axe, but the mandatory bow and arrows they made you take was stashed away in her pack. The other girl was kind of menacing, to be quite honest. You couldn't see her eyes cause her hoodie covered them. Her hoodie was black and had neon blue markings all over it. Her black pants were covered with the markings as well, and her dark grey hair stood out against her pale skin. She was kind of freaking me out, but I wasn't going to say anything. We all stood before the two legends, until BajanCanadian decided to break the silence. "Welcome to the PvP arena, I'm Bajan and this is Jerome, and we will be workin on yo fightin skillz." It took all the self control I had not to laugh. I was biting my lip to keep the laughter in. "Biggums, I don think the new students likez you," Jerome said, poking Mitch on the side of his face. "Naw, dey lovez meh, right?" he said, turning to face me. I was a little caught of guard, so I kind of just stood there and floundered, until Bajan said, "She lovez meh so much she's at a loss fur words." Whew, saved there. "Now, we need namez. Name?" Jerome said, turning to us. "Echo," the girl with the rainbow hair said. Next was me. "Watz yo name?" Jerome asked, to which I replied "Marianna, but call me Mari." "Coolio. How bout you," Jerome said, now standing face to face with the still awe struck Crispin. He kind of just stuttered and said random things, so I had to swoop in and save the day. "That's Crispin, he's weird," I told Jerome, earning me a glance from Crispin that was like a mix of gratitude and displeasure. Odd. "You know it's true," I whispered, slightly elbowing him in the ribs. He took a second, then nodded, resigned to the truth. The girl next to us was still kind of freakin me out. "Name?" Jerome asked, and the girl just kind of looked at him for a second, or I think that's what she was doing cause you couldn't see her eyes, and stayed that way until she finally half said half growled the name "Raven," causing Jerome to back away with his paws in the air saying "Wow, didn't mean to offend. OK, want to explain, Bajan?" Bajan stepped up and said, "This is the gorgeous PvP arena where we will be helping y'all with yo fightin skillz." They are….interesting. We all nodded and Bajan told us to take out our weapons of choice. Echo drew two wooden swords, Raven grabbed one sword, Crispin grabbed a bow, and I was the only one who drew an axe. I felt kind of awkward, but I got over it pretty quickly. "Now, show meh what you gotz, baby gurl," he said, motioning for Echo. She obliged, and the two moved to opposite sides of the arena. Jerome stood in the middle, shouted, "GO!" and the two rushed towards each other. They seemingly danced across the arena, twisting and turning and lunging and hitting. Echo fought with dual swords, while Bajan fought with one. Each got a sufficient amount of hits on each other, but it was time for the pair to heal up. They didn't want to die, just practice. They had scratches on them and tears in their armor. They were handed pork chops when the lunch bell rang. We all sat in the middle of the arena, except for Raven, who seemed to just disappear. Bajan and Jerome sat on one side, Echo kind of sat on the outskirts, and Crispin and I sat opposite Bajan and Jerome. "Soooo, wazzup?" Bajan asked, and I replied, "Not much, so wazzup with y'all?" "Not much bro," Jerome said. The end of lunch bell rang and we all rose. "Yo next," Bajan said, grinning as he poked my shoulder. Crap. I pulled out a rusty wood axe, catching a laugh from Crispin, who I shot a 'shut-up-before-I-kick-your-butt' look. He got the message, cause he shut up, but it didn't stop him from smiling. Fine, I will tolerate that. We went to opposite sides of the arena, and I took a deep breath. I totally zoned out and I barely even heard Jerome scream "GO!" I hit the ground running, and my instincts took over as I soared towards Bajan. He swung his sword, but I jumped over him and did a forward roll, spinning around to see a shocked look on his face. I ran and slashed him across the stomach, creating a slash in his armor. He gripped his stomach as I took another swing at his back. I ran over to the wall with Bajan on my tail. I ran up the butter wall, tucked my knees, and did a backflip over him. I slid across the butter floor, axe still in hand, and jumped up over him, axe in both hands, arms raised over my head, and delivered the final blow. He fell to the ground and I snapped out of my moment of awesome. I looked at him below me, armor all torn and blood stained, then I looked at myself. Not a scratch was on me, I still looked fine. I bent down and saw the horrible condition of my teacher. "JEROME! HELP!" I cried, desperate to get him help. Jerome rushed over and pulled out a potion of healing and gave it to Bajan. He started to come too, and he just turned to me and said, "Gurl gotz da skillz," and shot me a grin. I mumbled, "Not most times," before I stepped back and let Jerome help Bajan over to the wall. Since I had been tested I sat down with Bajan. We sat, watching Crispin scurry around the arena, turning to shoot Jerome every once in a while. We laughed and watched as they jumped and flowed around the arena. It was a game, almost. We sat there, and Crispin joined us after he was done. Raven stepped up and started her test. By the end, Jerome had a limp. But while she was fighting, her hood slipped back, revealing what I saw as white eyes, but Crispin keeps telling me I'm crazy. He says they are light blue, and the light made them look white, but I'm positive he is just a confused child. She dropped everything and totally ignored the fact that Jerome was rushing towards her to fix her hoodie. She quickly picked up her sword and sliced him across the ankle. He fell and said, "Test over," and Raven walked away. We all sat down and waited for our results. "Well, y'all is worthy of our teachin, so you can stay. The purpose of the test was to find people we could reassign and the people who could stay. Too many people sign up for PvP, so we have to ditch some. But y'all can stay!" Bajan cheered, and I breathed out a sigh of relief. This was going to be a long week.
