Void's House
The boy's eyes fluttered open as he laid on his bed. He yawned slowly and quietly before he allowed his eyes to adjust to the darkness in the room. Staring at the top bunk, he quickly turned on his side before swinging his legs off of the bed. He quickly held up his left arm to stretch before smiling at his right. "I forgot I had you." he said, moving it as he stood up and looked at the top bunk. "... Symphony must be out." he commented before turning away from the bed and walking toward the window. "This morning thing was something created by someone who should be dragged out into the street and bludgeoned to death with a stick." he said, staring out of his window with another yawn. "Then again, only Kamis and I have ever hit him." he said, watching the snow falling to the ground and covering the back lawn. He frowned and turned away from the window and let out yet another loud yawn.
"You yawn too loudly." a voice in his head said as he growled. He quickly balled his hand into a fist before punching the left side of his head.
"Shut up Faust." he said before he walked to his closet. He then opened it before he reached for the bottom of his sweater. He gripped the bottom slowly as he pulled off the sweater. He then reached in and grabbed out a white button-up collared shirt from the closet. He then took the hanger off before pulling the shirt over his body. "Pants, pants, pants..." he said before grabbing a pair of black ones and hopping into them. "Now I need socks and shoes..." he muttered as he walked over to his bed and grabbed out a pair of socks and slid them on his feet before putting on his shoes, which were leather loafers. He then stretched and yawned, covering his mouth with his left hand before walking toward his door, grabbing a red coat from the coat hanger in the middle of the room. He let out yet another yawn before he suddenly walked into the door, which sent him stumbling back and made him hold his nose to prevent bleeding. "Aw... Mother fucker..." he muttered as he reached into his pocket before pulling out glasses. "Percy, don't use Modder powers to get better vision my ass..." he said in a whiny tone as he slid them on and blinked a few times. "If this damn house weren't so silent, I could probably hear my way around this place." he said, walking forward and opening the door before stepping out. He slipped his arms into his coat before slowly making his way down the stairs. "I wonder if breakfast is ready..." he muttered before walking to the kitchen. He opened the fridge before seeing a paper plate covered with tin foil. "... Ooh, still had some barbecue left." he said, lifting up a part of the foil before groaning. "Son of a... Nice try Alexis, trying to make me eat carrots." he muttered closing the foil before shutting the fridge door. He stood up straight before reading a note left on the door.
"Mom went with the girls to do some shopping, Dad went back to work already and only we're left. Breakfast's outside. Put on a winter coat." the note read.
The boy smiled. "I can always count on you, Lucius." he said turning around before walking to the back door. He quickly slid open the door, a quick chill running down his spine. "Forgot it was snowing." he muttered before walking to a picnic table next to a grill. He saw a plate of food as he sat down and grabbed his fork. "Looks yummy!" he said, stabbing at the scrambled eggs with his fork. Immediately his fork bounced off of a clear surface. "... But it's frozen." he said before sighing. He picked up the plate before walking away and placing it in the snow. "... I don't think anyone would see me using Beam..." he whispered before holding his hand above the plate. Immediately his hand began glowing. "Bea-" he was in the middle of shouting before a sudden hand smacked the back of his head, sending him in the snow.
"Idiot! Do you want the neighbors to see you blowing up our backyard, Percy?!" he asked before picking up the plate. "I hope you know that we have a microwave oven!" he said, sighing. He had ruffled black hair and blood-red irises. He wore a black cotton shirt and khaki pants, along with a red windbreaker jacket and black steel boots. "Besides, using your powers outside of instruction of your teacher, life or death situations, and for mundane tasks are strictly against the Moderator code."
The boy got up out of the snow before scooping up some snow into his hand. "Hey Lukas?~" he said before getting a snowball to the face.
"Yeah, saw that coming too, Percy." the teen said turning as his ponytail whipped behind him. He then walked into the house, closing the glass door behind him.
"It's Void!" Void sighed and sat at the picnic table again, slouching before wiping the snow from his face. "... Is that orange juice?" he muttered, looking at the glass. "I could always go for a glass." he said before grabbing it and pouring the liquid in his mouth with a smile. The moment it hit his tongue, he sat up and spat out the drink, sending orange liquid in a straight line on the snow in front of him. "Fucking carrot juice!" he groaned out before diving to the side and shoveling snow into his mouth, he groaned and coughed the snow out soon after, rubbing his lips against his sleeve.
"... Was that really necessary?" Lukas asked, setting the plate on the table with a deep sigh. Void nodded.
"Of course it is! You people keep trying to kill me!" Lukas pointed to the plate.
"Oh come on Percy. You know, Chela says th-" Lukas began before Void sat at the table and pointed his fork at him.
"Yeah seriously, fuck what she says." he said as Lukas pulled his hair. Void whimpered.
"You should really have more respect for people!" he said as Void nodded as much as he could with his hair being pulled. "Now next time you see her, you apologize for every mean thing you've said to her, and then you apologize to Ana, and then Lann, then Daniel, and then their parents!"
"Y-yes sir..." he said before Lukas sighed and patted his head.
"Good boy." he said before Void began eating. Lukas rolled his eyes and sat on the opposite end of the table. "You need more vitamin A." he said. Soon after, Void's phone began to ring.
"Huh?" Void took it out of his pocket and unlocked it before checking who was calling. "Oh, it's Teacher." he said before answering the call. "Good morning Teach-" he began before hearing a loud explosion from the other side. He then took the teapot that Lukas brought with him, along with the cups before filling both teacups with tea.
"Hi Void! Sorry! I won't be able to pick you up today for your world transfer! On the way, Kamis and I encountered these Bugs and-" another explosion went off before he heard the sound of his scythes slicing through stones. "... Well, they're somehow stronger than Kamis! So instead, we'll be having your new teacher pick you up!" he said before yet another explosion was heard and then gunshots. "He should pick you up tonight! Sorry for making you wait! For now, why don't you just enjoy the rest of your day? I know school just got out for you."
"...I dropped out Quill. I don't need stupid and pointless lessons telling me how to do things like determine how hard and fast someone threw a ball. You already taught me that when I was 10." Void said as he sighed. Then there was a fourth, much louder explosion. "... Kamis threw one again, didn't he?"
"Yep! Gotta go, but we'll talk about this later, alright? Okay! Buh-bye!" he said before hanging up.
"... Damn it, Quill." he said before locking his phone. "... I'm done." he said, looking at his empty plate before setting down his empty teacup on the saucer. He then noticed Lukas pouring him a glass of juice from an orange juice carton. "... Eh, a little orange juice couldn't hurt." he stated before grabbing the glass and downing the liquid. His eyes widened immediately as he dived for the snow again, spitting out the juice in his mouth and coughing out some he swallowed. "OH GOD WHAT THE FUCK?!" he shouted angrily. "CARROT JUICE?!" he turned around and glared at his brother while baring his teeth.
Lukas folded his arms in front of him as he looked at his baby brother. "I said you need Vitamin A."
11:00 a.m.
The Black Castle
The throne room was dark and near silent, due to the quiet breaths. The breaths came from a man in the middle of the room. Strangely, despite it being a chair, he was sitting on the top of the backrest with his feet dangling. His eyes were covered by a black blindfold, but he had brown hair and somewhat tan skin. He also wore a thin blue sweater, black pants and brown leather loafers. After a few minutes, his quiet breaths became soft snores. His head drooped down slightly as he suddenly fell forward. In his sleep, he did a flip as he landed perfectly on the throne room chair. His snores slowly began to grow in volume before a loud rumbling was heard. "My god..." he muttered as he woke up, sitting up straight in his seat before crossing one leg over another and resting his arms on the armrests. "These blasted children can't even let an old man rest." he said before the throne room doors were sent flying open.
"MISTER B!~" a girl's voice rang out as she flew in on a skateboard deck. "Clair took my sniper rifle!" she complained as another girl ran in after her.
"I did not!" the second girl exclaimed. The first girl then lowered to land on the ground with her board as the second stood across from her.
"... Cora I've told you not to use the hoverboard in the castle exactly one hundred and twenty-six times." he said, turning to the first girl. Her fire orange eyes went from showing anger to shame. She looked down as her wild orange hair fell over her eyes. She wore a green zip-up hoodie and black pants along with bright green sneakers.
"I'm sorry Mister B..." she said, sighing deeply. He then turned to the other girl and appeared to glare.
"Clair, did you take her gun?" he asked with a seemingly angered tone. She gulped as she snapped her fingers. "Give it back." he said before a white orb appeared in front of her. Immediately, she reached into it before pulling out said sniper.
"I'm sorry baby sister..." she said as the girl named Cora took the gun, hugged it tightly and stuck her tongue out.
"Bully." she said before feeling her teacher's glare through his blindfold. "I-I'm sorry for being mean, Clair." she said as the brunette with bright orange eyes straightened her blue tie on her white shirt. She then tugged on her black sleeves and pant legs before looking at her brown shoes.
"Alright." he said before smiling. "Now that you've kissed and made up, I've just remembered something." he said, his hands behind his back as they got in front of him and bowed.
"Yes sir?" the sisters asked in unison as he held up one hand and his index finger.
"There will be another student arriving tonight. As you know, tomorrow morning, I will be leaving on a trip with Kamis, Quill and Musica to handle the recent outbreak of Bugs." he said, walking to his throne before sitting in it. "Until I return, which will be the first of January, he will be handling your teachings. Don't doubt it, despite his age and appearance, he's thousands of levels above you both combined." he said as the girls looked at each other with eyebrows raised.
"... Mr. B... Just who is this guy?" Clair asked as the girls stood up.
"Oh, just someone Cora admires." Mr. B said as Cora gasped and squealed.
"YOU'RE JOKING, RIGHT?!" she asked her teacher as he shook his head and smiled. "OH MY BALANCE! THANK YOU SO MUCH MR. B!" she shouted excitedly, hugging him. He gasped and started struggling to breathe.
"Y-YUGH!" he choked out as she let him go. "Y-you're welcome..." he said between heavy breaths.
Clair rolled her eyes. "I don't know why you like Void so much. He's just a really strong Moderator apprentice."
"... Sh-shut up for a sec?" Cora asked her sister before turning to Mr. B. "When does he come?"
"At nine tonight." he said as Cora gasped happily and put her weapons away. "He'll probably have you both travel the land with him." he said before she flew off on her board.
"I've gotta pack my Soul Drive!" she exclaimed as she flew out of the doors and down the halls. Clair sighed and followed her.
"Have a good trip Teacher." she said, following her baby sister.
"The same for you... My children." he said, waving to them as they left. He sighed deeply before he snapped his fingers, a screen appearing in front of him showing a boy around the age of fifteen. "... I'll protect you from these Bugs... Son."
12:26 p.m.
Void's House
Void was laying down on the picnic table outside of the house. "... Hey Faust?"
"What's up?" the voice in his head asked.
"... Am I doing something wrong?" Void asked, staring at the cloudy sky.
"What do you mean?"
"You know... By... Existing."
"You idiot." the voice said as Void sat up and balled his left hand up.
"The fuck you say?!" Void snapped at the voice.
"What I'm saying is, we all exist for a reason. Personally I think I exist, even if I'm just a voice, to guide you through hard times." Faust said as Void sighed. "So, why do you ask?"
"... Well it's becaus-"
"Him, right?" Faust interrupted as Void snapped his fingers and pointed to the sky.
"Bingo." Void said, sighing as he covered his eyes with his arms. "What if she finds out?" he asked, sliding his hair behind his ear, revealing his left eye, missing the pupil. "She'll leave me. If she still remembered what he looked like, she'd know I'm not him."
"You know what? You love her and that's that. She knows you love her. You know she love-"
"BUT I'M NOT HIM!" Void shouted as he sat up. "I'M NOT HIM! I'm a Monster! A Mistake! A..." Void looked down at his right hand before he scratched his head. "... Faust I don't want to hear your voice for the rest of the day." he said before hopping off of the table and walking back into the house. He quickly went up the stairs before unlocking his door and walking in. He quickly grabbed a white bucket hat, put it on and walked to his bed. He bent over and pulled a box out before opening it, a blue scarf was inside. He smiled at it and kissed it before putting it back into the box. He slid the box back under his bed before going out of his room again. He quickly pulled a cigarette box out of his pocket before putting a cigarette in his mouth. "Now I just need a light..." he said before walking to a closet in the kitchen. He quickly opened it before grabbing out a match box. "Because seriously, fuck my health." he said, using the match on his cigarette after it set ablaze.
The front door unlocked as he inhaled. He turned just in time to see two girls walk in. One was blonde, had bright green eyes and was dressed in a maid's uniform. The other had white hair, red eyes and wore a black button up collared shirt and a long black skirt along with sneakers and long socks. They were both carrying paper bags and chatting. "Hi Percival..." the one with white hair began before noticing him smoking. Her smile turned into a frown. "... Hey baby brother."
"What Aerona?" Void asked, staring at her as she looked away and sighed.
"Nothing." she said before walking into the kitchen and putting the bag on the counter. "And it's Scy to you." she said as the blonde set her bags on the counter. "... Come on Symphony, mom's got more groceries." she said as the blonde nodded and they walked out.
"..." Void finished his cigarette off before putting it out and tossing the butt in his back pocket. "Whatever." he said before walking upstairs. He entered his room and pulled out his phone before dialing a number. "... Lann please pick up."
Nearby...
A phone rang loudly. "Oi! Can someone get that?" a boy wearing a grey hoodie and blue jeans asked, staring intently at his computer. It rang again. "Val?! Mom!" he called out, with no reply. "Oh god damn it." he said, sighing as he paused his video and turned to the door, his blue eyes shining with frustration and his blonde hair whipping with him. He stood up, walking out of his bedroom and toward a phone on the wall. "Hello?" he asked, holding the corded house phone to his ear.
"Hey, it's Void." a voice said on the other line as the teen coughed and held the phone closer.
"... What do you want, midget?"
"Shut up, idiot."
"Up yours, ass licker."
The blue eyed teen's eyes flared up in anger. "What do you want?"
"... A fight."
"... Why do you need it?"
"... Because if you don't fight me, I'll come and eat."
"Fine, we'll fight. Six tonight?"
"Fine by me." Void replied.
"Great. Bye." he said before the phone went to the dial tone and he hung the phone up, turning around to see a girl with long brown hair that reached her hips, green eyes and light tan skin. She wore a green maid dress with a white corset as for torso clothes. She also wore white pantyhose and green flats. "H-hey Ana..." he said, his eyes drifting from her face, then quickly to her chest, obviously noticed before he looked back into her eyes. He had a light blush on his face.
"... Who was that?" the girl simply asked, despite her obvious knowledge of the answer to her own question.
He gulped, looking down. "Um..." he coughed. "Percival."
"And what did he want?" She continued to ask her questions.
He continued to look away until their eyes met. "... U-uh... He wants a fight..."
"And your reply?"
"... I-I agreed." he answered before hanging his head in shame.
"And you're not going to go, right?" she questioned, her final word sounding very forceful.
He gulped again. "O-of course not, Ana! I'm just gonna go for a walk!"
"Good. I'll join you with your walk. I have nothing else to do anyway." she replied in a dark, yet cheerful tone.
He gulped yet again. "Um... Uh... B-but why walk when we could cuddle instead?" he asked in a scared tone.
"I like cuddling. We can do that." Ana gleefully remarked.
Lann nodded and smiled at her. "Me too."
Ana nodded and quickly kissed his nose. "Why must you fight?" Lann's only reply was a shrug. "Don't fight... It makes me sad."
"... I won't then."
"You won't?"
"On one condition..."
"Yes?"
Lann smiled. "You know."
"... You'll just fight him anyway. I know it."
He shook his head. "I won't!"
"... I don't know."
"How can I prove it?" he asked. She thought for a while before shrugging. He kissed her forehead. "There must be some way that I can prove it to you." he said, holding her hands in his own.
"... Stop sneaking out so much." she replied.
He nodded. "Deal."
"Okay." she said, kissing him right after. He kissed her back happily, wrapping his arms around her waist. She let go soon after, smiling.
He smiled back. "I won't fight then."
"Good. I don't want you fighting."
He nodded and smiled at her. "... How long do you think Mom and Val will be out?"
"For the rest of the week until Tuesday, so two more days."
Lann smiled at her. "... Should we try tonight?" he asked after a bit, blushing lightly.
"Try what tonight?"
"... Making our family." he said, smiling warmly as their eyes met. Ana quickly nodded, smiling softly. Lann smiled and placed his hand on her stomach. "I don't care if we get in trouble..." he whispered into her ear. "I just want to make you happy." he kissed her cheek again.
"I'm sure they won't mind." she giggled.
He smiled again and kissed her nose. "Which room?"
"Any room is fine, we're alone for the next two days."
"... Let's try everywhere in the house." he whispered into her ear. Her face blushed scarlet, but she nodded in agreement. He smiled and lifted her bridal style. "Let's make a baby."
"Lots of babies?" she asked him.
"I'll give you at least triplets tonight." he whispered.
She smiled and nodded happily. "I would like that."
"Let's do it on Mom and Val's bed."
"Why their bed? Isn't that a little weird?"
"You're right... Our bed then."
"Alright. It will be romantic, right?"
"Of course. Candles, music and anything you want."
"Thank you, Lann."
He smiled and kissed her forehead. "Of course Ana." he said, carrying her to their room.
"I love you." she whispered to him.
"I love you too." he whispered while leaning in before their lips met. She gently kissed him, smiling. He smiled also, letting go as he laid her on the bed and kissed her nose.
"Why aren't we married yet?" she teased.
He blushed. "I-I thought we agreed that we'd get married after high school..."
"Oh, right." she replied.
"But if you want to, we can get married sooner."
"I can wait."
Lann smiled and hugged her. "Shall we begin?" he asked as he closed and locked the door.
"Yes, let's begin." Was all she said, grinning. He smiled warmly as he walked to the bed, unzipping his jacket while he approached. He climbed into bed with her sporting a smile. They leaned closer and closer to each other, their eyes closing slowly before their lips met.
1:45 p.m.
The Inferno
"Seriously I need more flame retardant clothes." A young woman with tanned skin, blonde hair and wearing a burnt sienna bikini along with golden gauntlets and golden shoes said as she yawned. She fanned her mouth slightly before some ash came out.
"I need clothes in general." a girl with black hair and slightly tanned skin said, lifting up the front of her attire slightly. Ignoring the fact that many people are now thinking about her nipples, she wore a puffy, short jacket that covered just barely over the bottom of her breasts. It was unzipped until her neck, which was covered by a small funnel collar that reached to just under her chin. She also wore black short shorts. "Seriously Blaise we need to find some sort of clothing that covers us more... I mean look at this! My nipples flash every time I jump up and do-"
"Can we stop using the word 'nipples', Wallisse?" Blaise asked, holding her face in her hand. "I don't know who's the bigger pervert. You, or your cousin Estelle."
"Hey~" Wallisse whined. "I'm not even half as pervy as she is!~" she whined as she swung her sword to her side rapidly, as if flailing. "She's the one always hugging people's faces between her breasts!" she said, pouting. Blaise face palmed.
"Fine." Blaise said, looking at her. She crossed her arms as she looked up at the tower above them. "Think Gwyn's finally stopped being depressed?"
"... I hope." Wallisse said as Blaise grabbed their hand before they flew to the top of the tower. "Gwy-"
"HI!" shouted Gwyn with a happy smile as both girls shouted in surprise. Blaise lost her focus as they both fell down to the lower boardwalk, groaning in pain.
"Ow!" Blaise shouted.
"My left leg feels like it's in my spine..." Wallisse groaned as she sat up. The girl gasped before flying down to them and getting on her knees.
"I'm sorry!" she said, looking at them both. "I didn't mean for you two t-"
"It's fine, it's fine." Blaise said, sighing as she looked at her. "... You're obviously in a good mood again." she said, looking at the pale girl.
Gwyn had long white hair, going down to her waist with lava orange eyes glowing with happiness. She wore a shoulder-strapless dress with straps in the front to tie it to her body, and the long bottom part was much like a pencil skirt, reaching to her feet, where she instead wore slightly heeled white shoes rather than ballroom dancing shoes. "No you're not, and yes I am!"
"We're fine Gwyn." said Wallisse said scratching the back of her head as she and Blaise stood up stretching.
"This place is so damned cramped." said Blaise as she floated over to a broken bridge on the fortress just above lava. "And besides..." she began before another girl walked up, a gold sword on her back. She had a golden iris with an eye patch over her left eye. She also possessed green hair that had a small amount of it in a ponytail behind her head. She also wore short shorts with a waist cape wrapped around her, along with a grey shirt covering her torso.
Wallisse: And her nipples?
Crescie: YES! IT COVERS HER NIPPLES! Can we get on with this and just drop this toilet humor? I'm pretty sure the reader's getting bored enough with the introduction of everyone.
Void: *Runs in* I heard something about nipples?
Crescie: Oh... BALANCE DAMN IT! Everyone out! OUT! Out of my studio!
Void: ... This is just your bed.
Crescie: ... OUT!
"Tell me about it." the new arrival scratched the back of her head. "I can't wait to get out of here and see the Overworld." she said.
"Same here. You're right on that idea, Zale." said Gwyn as she held her hands together and looked up. "Oh how wonderful it would be to feel the cool night air for once in my life... To feel the soothing embrace of water... To see the beautiful growing green gra-" she began before a sudden tear in the air in front of her opened, a gaping hole to nothingness opening.
"What's tha-" Blaise began before the four of them were sucked in, screaming in fear and surprise.
Back with Void...
6:34 p.m.
"Oh... My Mari, Lann if you don't show up in one minute, I'm going to come down there and drag you down here." Void said, sitting on the picnic table before he put another cigarette in his mouth. He quickly used a match to light it up before he inhaled. Seconds later his phone rang. He sighed and pulled it out before reading the name. "Ana Stephen and Alann Nikolas... Finally you guys call." he said before unlocking it and answering it. "Hello?"
"Hey Void, it's Lann." the voice on the other line said as Void sighed and put the cigarette out.
"Took you long enough. What, did you and Ana want to get a quickie in before you came here?"
Lann sighed deeply. "Look Void. I promised Ana I wouldn't fight. I mean, she doesn't like it, so why should I?" he asked as Void sighed and smiled.
"You're right. My threats were all empty anyway. She scares me anyway." Void said chuckling.
Lann gave a fake laugh. "Ha-ha, go die."
Void smiled lightly. "Alright... See you later?"
"Yeah, see you... Now if you'll excuse me, I have something important to do."
"See you." Void said before hanging up. "And I can't fight Dan, he's not gonna take it seriously unless I hit Chela or Ana." he said before sighing. "I wonder if there's a few Bugs to squash nearby."
"Percy! Come on in! It's time for dinner!" a woman's voice called out from inside as Void got off of the table.
"Be right there Alexis!" he called out before walking back inside, holding his stomach. "And it' better not be fucking carrots this time." he muttered as he closed the glass door behind him. He quickly walked to the dining room as he waved to everyone in there. Lukas Scy and Symphony were in there, smiling as they looked at him. Along with two more people. One was a tall, skinny woman with pale skin, long blonde hair and chrome green eyes. She wore a bright green T-shirt, blue jeans and black and green striped socks as she slid on the floor toward the table with a steaming pot of delicious smelling food in her hands.
"Hey mom!" Lukas, Scyther and Symphony said in unison as Void simply waved.
"Hey Alexis." Void said. Another noticeable member was a man with dark brown eyes and light brown hair that was ruffled. He wore a white doctor's coat, a black T-shirt, blue jeans and apparently wore bandages on both his feet and hands.
"Hey kids." he said, walking in with a smile as he ruffled Scy's, Lukas' and Symphony's hair. He went to Void, who sat at a lone corner of a table. "What's up kiddo?" he asked, about to touch his hat before Void had a butter knife in his left hand pointed at him, half an inch away from driving it into his hand. "..." Void smiled and dropped the knife before he hugged him.
"Hey kiddo." he said smiling.
"Hey Sam." Void said.
"Whoops, be right back." he said before walking into the kitchen to help Alexis carry in more pots.
Void quickly sniffed the air. "Cow... Pig... Chicken... Turkey... Buffalo... Goat... Alligator... Yak... Deer... Boar... Rabbit... Moose... Is that..." He inhaled deeply through his nose. "OH MY BAL! IS THAT SCENT WHAT I THINK IT IS?!" Void asked excitedly, drooling as he pointed at the last pot. "YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING THAT'S NOT-" he said before Alexis smiled.
"Yep! It's what you think it is!" Alexis said with a smile as the other three kids pinched their noses.
Void shrieked happily. "IT'S LAMB!" Void was smiling happily as the other kids facepalmed.
"Seriously baby brother?" Lukas and Scy asked, sighing.
"I'm not exactly sure why you're so excited over lamb meat." Symphony said. Void ignored her as he was still smiling and squealing like an overly obsessed fan.
"... You can stop now." a tall boy with orange and black hair said as he walked in and sat next to Void.
"I'm sorry Hally, I'm just so excited! ALL of my favorite meats in one meal! Well almost all, but the last one is illegal to get!" Void said, smiling as Hally sighed and patted his head.
"You're such an adorable baby brother." he said as he helped put the meats and other stuff on everyone's plates. Void's plate had only the meats.
"What's the occasion?" Void asked, leaning to the side to look at Alexis and Samuel who smiled.
"Well tonight's your last night here until Christmas." Alexis said.
"That's why we all decided that you have one last meal here of all of your favorite foods before you leave." Sam said as everyone but Void looked down.
"..." Void smiled at them. "I'm gonna miss you guys too." he said, smiling as they smiled back and began eating. After dinner, they all slouched in their chairs, enjoying the meal they had finished. "Whoo... 15 servings..." Void said, smiling as he patted his stomach.
Alexis smiled. "I'm glad you kids enjoyed the meal." she said as each of them nodded, smiling.
"It was great!" they all said in unison before Void sat up.
"..." he looked at the grandfather clock before sighing lightly. "... I'd better get going." he said, standing up before heading up to his room. He quickly pulled the scarf out of the box before wrapping it around his neck, covering his mouth. He quickly smiled before walking back downstairs where everyone was waiting in front of the door. He smiled lightly before they all group hugged. Oh what a bittersweet moment... Too bad it couldn't last forever. They all eventually let go before Void smiled and waved to them all. He walked to the front door, smiling as he looked back to them all. "See you guys at Christmas." he said, opening it.
"Make sure you bring over that Latula girl and her family! I can't wait to meet my future daughter in law!" Alexis called out, smiling as he blushed deeply. He quickly pulled his hat over his red face as he took a step outside.
"Sh-shut up!" Void shouted at them before shutting the door behind him. He smiled lightly before fixing his hat and walking down the street. Snow began to fall.
The Black Castle
10:12 p.m.
Mr. B was once again, sleeping in his throne before he suddenly snapped awake. "It appears I've dozed off again…" he muttered before standing up and stretching. "This chair is way too comfortable." he said, looking back at it before sitting down.
Downstairs, there was a knocking on the large doors of the castle. "I'll get it!" Cora called out, walking to it as she grabbed the handle. She opened the door slightly as she held a gun behind the door. "Hello, hello?" she said, looking outside as she saw a boy in a white bucket hat. He also wore a white button-up shirt, black pants and leather loafers.
"Um… Hi, I'm Percival… Is the owner here?" Void asked as she nodded.
"Yep, sorry, but he didn't say he'd be having visitors over. He's just waiting for Void to show up for training." she said. Void blinked before staring blankly at her.
"... Hi." he said, waving with his left hand. "I'm here for training." he said before she gasped.
"Ohmigosh, ohmigosh, ohmigosh, ohmigosh, ohmigosh, ohmigosh, ohmigosh, ohmigosh…" and it continued like this for a long while as Void sighed quietly.
"What's your na-" he began before she interrupted accidentally.
"Hi Cora my name is Void!" she shouted as he chuckled.
"It's nice to meet you Cora." Void said, smiling at her as she blushed deeply.
"Ohmigosh he knows my name!" she said, turning around.
"That's because you just said it." Void thought before smiling at her. She turned around before blushing deeply. "Hello Cora. My name is Percival. Many Mods know me as Void, but my friends call me Void." he said as she nodded slowly. "I assume you're Mr. B's student?"
Cora nodded happily. "Y-yep! I'm one of his apprentices!" she said. "The other one's my big sister!" she said before someone opened the door more and poked her head out to look at him.
"Yo?" the brunette said as Cora glared at her.
"Clair I said not to do things like that." Cora said before they began arguing. Void sighed as he watched the two sisters argue.
"Ahem?" Void looked at them both as the girls turned to him.
"Yes, Mr. Voi-"
"Void, please."
"Void… Here, follow me. Mr. B has set up your first test." Cora said before walking into the mansion.
"Already?" Void asked, shrugging before he followed her. Clair shut the door before following the two as well. Cora smiled before she stopped in front of a large pit. "Alright, first off, you've got to complete this course." She said, holding her hand out toward it. Right after the pit there was a ring of fire and spikes right under it. Next to that, there was a wall of white flames and the last obstacle was a single flashlight. Void gulped. "I've got no idea what the flashlight will do, but good luck! I'm rooting for you!" she said kissing his cheek. "For luck." he held his cheek and blushed deeply before staring at the obstacle course. He quickly leapt over and through the ring of fire before he span, landing on a single spike before launching off of it, doing a quick flip in the air over the wall. Throughout the whole test he had a smile on his face, but the moment his foot hit the light, he whimpered and landed before backing up toward the wall of fire. Clair raised an eyebrow.
"I-I…" he gulped as he slowly began walking toward the flashlight. He appeared to be growing weak before he reached out and pulled his hat over his eyes. He quickly switched it off before panting heavily and throwing it into the wall of fire. "F-fuck…" he said, panting heavily. "J-just hurry up and give me the next test." he said as Cora flew over on a skateboard deck. She smiled at him.
"Wow, you're pretty good. The flashlight bit confused me though." she said.
"Sh-shaddup…" Void said, blushing and looking away. Cora shrugged and smiled before leading him toward the next test.
"Alright, it's time for the second test." Clair said, looking toward the hallway, which had a few black monsters. "Kill them all." Void smiled and immediately ran toward them. Clair turned to her sister. "Is he a fist fighter?" she asked as Cora smiled and shook her head.
"Nope. You'll see what he does." she said before Void jumped into the air and over the three enemies. The three turned around to see Void spinning around before holding two different swords. One was nothing more than a simple bastard sword while the other was a zweihander colored grey with an hourglass just above the guard. He quickly held both swords to his side before spinning rapidly.
"Wheel of Decimation!" he shouted as his spinning went from horizontal to vertical. He span faster and faster before suddenly rolling at the enemies. The three black figures attempted to jump out of the way but he quickly stopped spinning before the two swords were driven into two of their skulls. Immediately, red squares poured out from the wounds.. He was in front of the third enemy before suddenly smiling. It raised a long, thin arm to hit him, but the moment it collided with his hat, the arm was sliced off and landed on his shoulder before bouncing off and onto the ground. When it did hit the ground, it immediately split apart into red blocks before vanishing. "Well then." he said raising his fist before he suddenly span the other way and backhanded the enemy through the wall.
"Wow." Clair said. "He's better than I thought."
"Was that it? That was a piece of cake." Void said, stretching as some ones and zeroes appeared where the wall and enemies bodies were. Immediately the bodies became said ones and zeroes before floating over the wall. Seconds later the wall was quickly reformed. "I didn't even need that first special."
"... Well then." Clair said before grinning at the teen who was scratching his head through his hat. "Let's just see how you fare against the boss of this test." she said as Void's eyes lit up with excitement.
"Boss?! Where?! Where?!" he shouted excitedly before looking around. "I hope the boss is strong!" he said before Clair sighed and grabbed him by his collar.
"Follow me." she said, dragging Void down the stairs as Cora followed, picking Void's weapons up.
"Ohmigosh, these are your two swords! What are their names again?!" she asked excitedly as he pointed to the zweihander.
"That's Grau Uhr." he said before pointing to the bastard sword. "This is Toy Sword. I call it that because it's a simple human weapon. Nothing special." he said, shrugging it off before she handed him his weapons. He smiled and grabbed them as they shattered, becoming sparkles. "What about yours?"
"Oh!" Cora said before holding up two of her pistols. "This is Pain and Panic, and my sniper is Plague!"
"Cute." he said as she blushed and smiled. "So, how much further?"
"Just up to the throne room." Clair said as Void nodded.
"Great." Void replied as he stood up. He began walking also as Cora hopped onto a green skateboard deck. "Hey! You've got a hoverboard too?"
"Yeah! Mr. B got it for me on my 14th birthday!" she said, smiling as Void smiled.
"Sheesh, you're like, the first person I've met who even uses that. Most of the people back home use cars." Void said as they smiled, going up the stairs. Clair sighed as she was leading the way, ignoring their chattering as best she could.
"I hate my life." she muttered before they got to the top. She quickly opened the door before the man in the throne snapped up.
"Bal damn it, can't an old man get some shut eye around here?!" he shouted, wiping the drool from his mouth.
"Sorry Mr. B, but Void's here." Clair said before Void walked over to the throne. Clair gasped as she and Cora reached out for him.
"Hey." he said, as the man stood up. He was at least a foot taller than Void as he walked up to him.
"Hello there." Mr. B said, holding out a hand.
Void extended his hand before suddenly pulling it away and hopping back. "There's a strong light aura around you... I don't like you. Your light reminds me too much of Null." he said before the man smiled. He reached for his blindfold before lifting it up.
"Boo." he said before there was a flash of light. Void grunted as he covered his eyes. He laughed and quickly tossed off his blindfold, revealing his eyes to be pools of light. "Hello there Mr. Void. My name is Eros Lawrence Brine, and I've called you here to handle the Bug infestation here. As I'm sure you thought, you would be my student. That's where you're wrong. This year, you're the Teacher. Congratulations. I hope you enjoy the title."
"God... Damn..." Void said before looking at him. "Herobrine... I should have guessed it was you. What? Were Kamis and Quill so stupid that they signed me up with the man who caused the Balance to tip when I was born?"
"Quite the opposite, actually... Now if you had paid attention in Moderator School, you would have learned that it was not I who started it, but someone else... Now, as for your final test... Defeat me... Or at least... Survive."
"... Can do." Void said, grinning before he snapped his fingers. Immediately a white orb appeared in front of him before he grabbed it with both hands. Immediately two blades came out, Toy Sword and Grau Uhr. He held Grau Uhr in his right hand before holding Toy Sword in his left.
Clair and Cora gasped as they backed away and hid behind a pillar. "Ohmigosh, I'm gonna see them both fight right in front of me!" Cora squealed again as Clair face palmed.
"You're confident." Mr. B said before Void rested right wrist into his left elbow as his swords appeared to form an upside-down cross.
"I won't lose." Void said before running at Mr. B.
"We'll see." he said before Void suddenly vanished. He ducked before Void appeared in front of him, both swords pointed forward. Void gasped and quickly did a backflip to kick him. Mr. B responded with a high block before grabbing his leg. Void gasped and span before kicking the man in the face. When Void pulled his foot away, the man was grinning, blood flowing from his nose. "I haven't had this much fun in ages!" he said before dodging a blade being swung at him. He quickly grinned again as he saw a black line shoot out of the top of Void's pants. "And you've left yourself defenseless!" he called out before grabbing it.
"YEAAAAAAAAAAOWCH!" Void screamed in pain as he was swung and slammed onto the ground with it. "M-my tail!" he shouted in pain as the man began to twist it.
"Oh come on, I thought you were stronger than this!" he said before Void's left and right hands glowed orange. "Oh?~"
"Sin: Wrath!" Void shouted, dropping his swords before he slammed both fists down onto the ground. Immediately the whole room shook as the man stumbled back, releasing his tail in the process.
"Good! You're strong!" he said before his arms were wrapped in audio cords. He smiled before pointing his left index finger at Void. Void gasped and leapt off of the ground before running for it. "But probably not strong enough." he said, pressing the index fingernail against his thumb before flicking it at Void. Void gasped and quickly dived to the side. The man grinned and continued flicking in Void's direction. Void gasped and quickly began running, just barely dodging each one.
"I don't get it, what's he dodging?" Clair asked before Mr. B accidentally flicked at them. Immediately she and Cora held their hands over their ears as a loud ringing sound was heard.
"AGH!" Cora cried out, covering her ears. "It's Mr. B's Sound Wave!" she shouted as Void suddenly skidded to a stop, next to a weapon rack with multiple swords.
"I can use these for now." he said, quickly picking up one sword and hurling it into the air. He quickly began throwing all of the swords into the air.
"Oh?" Mr. B said, grinning before picking up two long swords next to his throne.
"Oh yeah..." Void said before spinning. He quickly grabbed each sword by the handles using the spaces between his fingers. He had three in each hand before he caught the last one with his tail. Cora squealed.
"OH BAL KILL ME NOW!" Clair screamed, holding her ears.
"He's so cute when he uses his tail!"
Void rolled his eyes as he stared right at Mr. B. "Are you ready?"
"Of course." he said before holding both swords in front of him as if blocking. Immediately there was a loud crash as Void appeared in front of him, six blades pushing against his two. "Hmph... Predictable."
Void grinned before his tail shot out at Mr. B with the sword. He gasped and quickly leaned to the side, a small cut on his cheek. "Forgot about my tail, didn't you?"
"Yes... I did." he said before grinning. He pushed Void away suddenly before appearing behind him.
"Why don't you show me each one?" he asked, grabbing the tail before twisting it. Void screamed in pain before his tail split into seven more. "So... You really are Void." he said before dodging a slice from Void. Void panted heavily, obviously angered as he ran at him, swinging the swords rapidly. "You're slow!" he said, quickly dodging each attack before punching Void in the stomach. The moment it made contact, Void was sent flying and coughing out blood. He quickly grunted and caught himself by stabbing the swords he had into the ground.
"Ngh!" Void grunted before his hat was sent flying while a loud ringing rang through the... Cat ears on the top of his head? He quickly held his hands on the ears before there was a small stream of red blocks dripping down his his face. Cora and Clair gasped as Mr. B was up in the air above Void.
"Too slow!" he shouted as his hand was held behind him. He immediately held it forward before Void was sent flying, screaming and holding his ears.
"GODS!" Void shouted, tearing up before growling at Mr. B. "You're dead! I'm gonna eat you!" he shouted, snapping his fingers on his left hand before a white orb appeared in front of him.
"Ooh, finally bringing out your Soul Drive." Mr. B said, smiling before Void quickly grabbed the drive. Immediately, it sprang open into a screen before he clicked on it with his left index finger. "What will you draw?"
"How about this?!" Void shouted, quickly clicking on a blood red katana. "My favorite." he said as the orb changed into the sword and flew into Void's left hand. He quickly pointed it forward. "The Bloodletter."
"Hmm... Let's see what your little letter opener can do." Mr. B said before Void leapt into the air, sword raised.
"Take this!" Void said, doing a flip before slamming the sword down toward him. He grinned and quickly dodged it, appearing above Void.
"Foolish boy!" he shouted before punching Void in the back of the head. Void immediately grunted, being sent through the floor from the sheer force. Seconds later, a large pink beam shot out of the hole, sending Mr. B flying away. Void quickly came running back into the room past Cora and Clair with extreme speed. The sisters gasped as he suddenly stabbed Mr. B through the stomach. "NGH!"
"You're dead." Void whispered as red blocks dripped down his blade. "You're mother fucking dead." he said before pulling it out. Immediately the man grunted before holding the cuts.
"You can't win..." Mr. B said, smiling as his hole sealed up. Void gasped and quickly swapped hands before swinging his sword at him. He grunted as the man quickly grabbed that hand and flipped him onto the ground. He quickly stepped on his throat after kicking the sword away. Void grunted as Mr. B raised his hand above his head. Void quickly raised his hands, gasping for air before they glowed orange.
"S-SIN: WRA-" Void began before the man quickly locked eyes with him. Immediately Void shouted in pure fear, trying to look away. The man quickly pressed his hand to Void's head, both of Void's ears brushing against his three inner fingers. Void screamed in pain and reached for his ears with his left hand. The man smiled and bent over before grabbing Void's right hand.
"I found it." he said, grinning before pulling up with it. Immediately, Void screamed in pain as his arm was sent flying into the air. It landed on Clair's head before she screamed and threw it to the side. Void grunted before shutting his eyes. Seconds later, the socket set ablaze with purple flame. "S-Sin: Sloth..." Void whispered before the skin covered the socket. "Th-that should lag for a year or so..." he said before glaring up at the man who got off and put his blindfold back on before picking up Void's severed arm. "But I warn you, Void won't do anything for just anyone." he said before the man tossed him his hat. He caught it easily before sitting up.
"I know... It won't do anything for anyone, unless..." Mr. B quickly pressed the severed arm's hand to his forehead. Immediately it exploded into blood before reforming into a sword. Mr. B smiled and swung it to his side. "They have a close connection to Void." he said as Void blushed deeply and held his hat in front of his crotch. His tails were sticking straight up before rapidly whipping the ground.
"ST-STOP IT!" Void exclaimed as the man chuckled.
"You still haven't gotten over her, have you?" he asked before Void raised the left half of his hair, revealing his left eye.
"How can I forget?" he asked as the man quickly held the sword to his side, as if sheathing it. Immediately a sheath appeared around it as he looked toward the girls who had stepped out from behind the pillars. Void quickly got up before smiling. "That was a great fight though... Take care of my arm for me."
"I will. Don't worry. You'll be getting it back, just as we discussed in our emails." he said, smiling as he patted the sword. He then turned to the girls with a smile before opening his arms. They smiled and quickly ran to him before the three had a group hug. Void stood up before rolling his eyes and putting his hat back on. When the hug broke, Cora smiled at Void.
"Your ears are really cu-" she began before his hair stood up immediately, waves of dark energy pouring out of his body.
"DON'T talk about my ears." Void said as she gulped and nodded. Clair and Mr. B gulped and leaned away from him before the black aura faded. "Is that settled?" Void asked, smiling. "Good..." he said as his hair went back down.
"... But they are really cute!" Cora exclaimed as Void's smile faded.
"..." Void smiled warmly at her. "I know I'm supposed to teach you, but I could always kill you instead." Cora gulped and took a step back.
"I-I'm sorry!" she said as he sighed and went back to a stoic facial expression.
"Alright Brine..." Void said, walking up to him before holding out his hand. "Take care of Void for me, Bal will kill me if it falls into the wrong hands..." Mr. B smiled and shook his hand.
"Of course." he said before a portal opened behind him. "You know where the closest Bug outbreak is, correct?"
"Somewhere around Whistle Grass Village. I can smell the thirst for erasure coming from... The South."
"Correct." Mr. B said, turning to the portal behind him. "Now... I have one last thing to ask you."
"Yes?" Void asked as they released each other's hands.
"Those two... My girls... Protect them." Mr. B said as Void smiled and waved to him. "Can you do that?"
"You got it." Void said before he waved to them and walked into the portal. It quickly closed before Void turned to the two sisters. "So... My name is Percival Vasili, I'm a first year Moderator Teacher. My specialty is the sword, along with darkness. I also happen to be Bal's left hand sword of Darkness, Void. I'm pleased to meet you. Please ignore my cat ears, cat tails, and the fact that I speak to myself."

9:24 a.m.
Moderator's Cafe
There were two people sitting at a table, cups of tea on the table in front of them. One man appeared to be around 20 years old with a slight neckline of hair. He wore a scientist cloak that was white with black smooth stripes (Or was it black with white stripes?), fairly baggy pants and a button up shirt, matching his cloak. He had a fairly lean build and had spiky, slightly long grayish white hair and wearing glasses. He also wore sandals and a cocky grin. The man across from him wore a blue sweater, with black pants, and brown shoes. He opened his eyes, revealing pools of white.
"More tea Kamis?" a young man appearing to be 19 asked, bowing from behind the new man as he nodded. The young man wore a pink hoodie-type vest with a black sweater underneath it. He also wore black pants with white highlights and chain mail pants over them. Under his pants, he wore brown leather boots and had a long white scythe on his back, while a teapot rested on a tray his hand. He had silver eyes and long black hair that covered his right eye, much like how Void's hair was styled, except it curled like a scythe blade toward his nose.
"Yes please Quill." Kamis said before the young man nodded, pouring tea into the cup. "Thank you." he said before turning to the other man. "I apologize for arriving late to our meeting, Mr. Brine."
"Please. There is no need to be so formal, old chap. Just call me Herobrine." Mr. B said as Kamis nodded. "We are old friends after all, right?" Herobrine then picked up his cup of tea before drinking the cup.
"Of course." he said before picking up his tea cup.
"So... How much are we looking at in terms of collateral, Kamis?" Herobrine asked, setting his tea cup down. "About His weapon, of course.
"... To be honest Eros..." Kamis began before taking a sip of his tea. "... This is better than the last pot, Quill." he said as the man standing next to him smiled and bowed.
"Thank you sir." Quill replied with a grin.
Kamis looked back at Herobrine and set his cup down to be refilled by Quill soon after, who remained standing. "Well... The Overlord amount." Kamis said.
Herobrine's eyes widened as he looked out over the balcony. "Now I'm worried about Cora and Clair..." he said.
"Who?" Kamis asked.
"My apprentices. Unfortunately they haven't gotten their Respawn ability yet, and Void's back at Level One..." he said before Quill gasped.
"But... Level 1 is when a Moderator or Mod gains the Respawn ability." Quill said as Kamis nodded.
"Yes... But what does this have to do with the amount of collateral?" asked Kamis.
"..." Herobrine snapped his fingers and clicked on the orb that appeared. Immediately it sprang open to reveal a large chart. "You see, the reason that I had Void come here and go under another year of apprenticeship is that I not only wanted to teach him to have respect for others with lesser or greater power and care for others than himself and his loved ones, but to also have him help me with the recent overflow of Bugs that have arrived. Also..." he tapped his chin.
"What is it, Eros?" Kamis asked, his cocky grin fading as he crossed his arms.
"Just recently I've seen that Crane and the Overlord have returned to Minecraftia... Along with Beari Von Trappe and... Steve." Herobrine said.
"... This could get dangerous." Kamis said as Quill nodded.
"That's not all... I've also noticed that... The Soul Drive Bugs have infested every known Moderator and Mod's Drive. Along with that, I believe we should be focusing on the amount of Bugs here in Minecraftia." Herobrine said. "And if th-"
"They'll be fine." Kamis said, sipping his tea. "If Cora and Clair are with Void, they'll be safe." Kamis said. "That kid won't let anyone he's partnered with die unless he's dead."
"... Then another question..." Herobrine said. "... Why are we focusing so much on him?" Quill's eyes widened as he set the tray down in the middle of the table. He immediately took the third cup on the tray before pouring tea into it. Kamis looked at the teen in worry before Quill quickly downed the tea.
"..." Quill quickly set the cup down and looked at Herobrine.
"He's Void." Quill said.
"I understand, but what does this have to do with everyone else that he'll be bringing along on his journey?" he asked before Quill refilled the cups with tea and downed his own one like it was a chugging contest.
"You didn't hear then." Kamis said, sipping his own tea before eating a cookie.
"Hear what?" Herobrine asked.
"He's planning to fight Bal again." Kamis said. "Darkness is taking hold in the Universe and we don't want Bal to be awakened too early. You do remember the last time, right?" he asked.
"How could I forget? We were there." Herobrine said, staring at his drink.
"And you're the only one keeping Darkness at bay with those." Quill said, pointing at Herobrine's eyes. "Those aren't strong enough to handle full Darkness though." he said.
"Child I know." Herobrine said.
"The Balance is in a state of flux." Quill said, snapping his fingers and clicking on his orb before typing on the screen before it opened in front of them "... Here's the defini-"
"Bitch I do NOT need a dictionary, I know what flux is." Kamis said, smacking the page away with his empty cup of tea.
"Indeed." Herobrine said, sighing. "That is the reason why I took Void away from him. I need Quill's help to analyze it and see if it's been influencing his choices and the choices of others. I didn't take away all of the power, so he should still be able to use Sin... If I took that away, he could be weaker than he is with one arm. Although I thought that it could be useful to fight these Bugs pouring into the worlds."
"Good. He's not too bright." Quill said. "He'll probably try to take an army with a million to one ratio."
"And of course I let him keep his Moderator abilities." Herobrine said as Kamis nodded.
"Good, goo-" Kamis began.
"But I took all of his nukes."
"Maybe that's for the best... Those don't exactly damage only enemies or Bugs." Quill said before standing up. "Is this meeting over?" he asked as Kamis stood up also.
"Almost. I have one question left before we go out and erase Bugs." Herobrine said. "... Void mentioned a 'Latula', and his duties to her... What is this duty?"
"... He plans to erase D." he said as Herobrine's eyes widened.
"How do you know this? He hasn't been active ever since the last war." Herobrine said before Quill turned back to him.
"... Time travel's a bitch, trust me." Quill said. Soon after, he and Kamis nodded before turning to leave. Herobrine sighed and quickly got up before patting the butt of the sword.
"Let's go." he said before following them.
Whistle Grass Village
7:00 a.m.
"Bye!" a boy white buttoned shirt with a high-collar and black pants said as he waved back at the village. His green tie flapped in the wind as he turned around. He had bronze-hazel hair that was in a neat stub ponytail and his azure eyes glowed with a light radiance. His name was Syth. A crowd cheered behind them as the duo have finally set foot outside their village. The one previously mentioned and identified as Syth, excited with bated breaths and the other not seeming to share the same feeling with his companion.
Syth, the one-night turned celebrity from the common village boy he previously was, had the time of his life as of not so long ago when a raid party had attacked his home. He and the villagers courageously fended of the attack and caused the raid to flee when Syth had defeated the leader.
His fame only grew to his surprise when he had built the guts to ask the village leader permission to leave and travel the world after the attack. The answer that surprised his was a nod and the approval of his wish.
It has been a week then and now he had finally set off from the gates of the village and to the world beyond, and of course with him in tow was his brotherly friend Alan, who also happened to be a floating book and the librarian of the village.
"I'm sure things are going to be fine, really!" Syth said.
The book had only fluttered a page in response.
"I'm not really helping your mood am I?"
Alan scoffed. "What gave you that idea?"
"Look I'm sorry for dragging you into my trip and all but the least thing you can do is talk to me!" Syth said.
"Then the least thing YOU can do is take me back this instant!" Alan snapped.
"But we just left!" Syth protested.
"Makes this a whole lot better now doesn't it?"
Syth sighed and Alan fluttered a page. Syth knew this trip wasn't going to be easy but it didn't need to grow hard this fast!
Time passed with silence before Syth spoke again "So go back then." he muttered.
"Excuse me?"
"Go back home then Alanterradima." Syth repeated in a harsher tone.
Alan was not amused when Syth spoke his full name "Oh don't do this to me…" Alan whined. He had left his home and he was now dealing with a sulking Syth, the latter being the most unpleasant of the two.
"If you insist that I'm just going to be a nuisance then just leave me. I only asked you to follow me was for the company, I can take care of myself." said Syth in a quiet voice.
If this was the village square, Alan would be doing anything in his power to stop Syth with the sulking. However it wasn't and he was fully intending to turn back and go back home.
But then there was Syth with the act of sadness and the quiet voice he always did when he was in the negative side of emotions. Alan wasn't a hard-covered book to just leave him alone in the world, he knew Syth wasn't going to make it on his own. Then again his oh so bothersome conscience had sunken in already.
"You know what, traveling once in a while doesn't seem that bad." Alan said in a very restrained voice. He was doing his best not to sound like he was doing this out of guilt. The bad thing was that he was not the best actor. It's a good thing that Syth wasn't the perspective one. He immediately perked up and his sullen expression changed to a much brighter one.
"Thank you so much Alan!" said Syth with a smile.
Alan fluttered a page in replacement of a sigh "I hate you so much…" he muttered.
"S-Sorry…"
And with that, the duo had officially started their journey into the unknown.
Author's Notes:
I will be adding in different things to the world of Minecraftia such as my friend maritrollthe46th's Moderators, Modders and Bugs, as he is the creator of such a wonderful idea! I'm just building off of it with his permission, guidance and assistance.
Sentences that are written or read by computers are bolded other than things that state times or points of view. Poems and rhymes are in italics along with thoughts. And also, attacks with specific names, such as Void's Sword Beam are bolded also.
Subnote: The only reason that some attacks, such as Void's must be said is because they are commands. As an example, they are all in a world of coding (Minecraft) and must use a vocal command or open the menu and click on it in order to attack, as it would select a specific attack from their skill list rather than other attacks. (Certain characters will not have to vocally access skills.)
The Mobs will not be wearing hats except for the Spider and Cave Spider's eye-hairclip thingies, and the Zombie's hood. Some will get complete appearance changes along with name changes from the commonly known Mob Talker names.
Semi-final Notice: Um.. I'd like to apologize for the wait, I'd like to blame great and fun games such as "The Last Story", "Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of a New world", and "Pandora's Tower" for distracting me from writing. I loved these games too much to put them down when I got them, and I was too distracted to write. What else would I like to say... Ah yes. :D I like school again.
FINAL NOTICE: Hey everyone out there, I'm looking for a Beta-Reader for this story. I should have thought of this earlier, but go easy on me. I AM an idiot after all. Anyway, I just need help with things such as grammar and stuff like that. I'm open to constructive criticism and more like that. PM me if you would like to help out! :D Thanks again for reading everyone, see you in chapter 2!

Obviously everyone in this list are the reasons that this story is even fun to write (Except for Crescent Crane, that looooooooooser). And I have so much more to thank them for. So, to those in the group currently and those who will join the group soon... Thank you all so much for everything. I mean it from the bottom of my heart. I wouldn't even write if it weren't for you.
