Battle time!

Beatrice's POV

I rushed at a random squid and chopped its head off. Two others approached me and I spotted Chris close by.

"Chris! Back me up!" I yelled over all the commotion. He heard me, spun around, and sliced the squid behind him. Nodding, I hurried over to his side and came back to back with him.

"You know," he whispered, "You're not so bad. Maybe we could do this more often."

"Hopefully not battling squids… but sure. Our temporary truce can be permanent. Just make sure that Susan, or should I say, Mia, doesn't come back."

"Oh, I'll make sure!" Chris angrily sliced the head off of another squid, "I didn't trust her completely anyways. A little too psycho for the Homies. She would be disapproved by Sly."

This was when I noticed Jordan's friend Sierra get caught by one of the squids. As she struggled to escape its grasp, I raced over from Chris and chopped off two of its tentacles at the same time. Although the squid was not yet dead, the action released her. Together, Sierra and I took easily took it down.

"Thank you," she told me.

"No problem. If you would just excuse me…" I started to head back to Chris.

"You're the daughter of Herobrine." I stopped in my tracks.

"How'd you hear that?"

"Your father himself. He told me he had a daughter named Beatrice."

"Why would he do that?"

"He also told me I would never see the light of day again… so that may have had an impact."

I turned to face her, "How did you get caught by him anyways?"

"It was before I got Sky's necklace. I was searching the woods for food with another Sky Army recruit. We stopped to rest and Herobrine unexpectedly showed up. It must have been territory outside of Sky's boundaries. So, he took me and the other recruit, his name was Harry, into the Nether. Harry was immediately killed but I wasn't. Herobrine said that I had potential. He tried to make a deal with me: if I stay in the Nether, then I could live."

The battle went on around us but I still wanted to hear the rest of her story, "Go on."

"The deal didn't go so well. When I had said yes, he turned away, leaving time for me to escape the Nether with no damage. I made my way to the Sky Army HQ and haven't said a word to anyone. You're the first person to hear this."

"Why me?"

"Cause you asked."

"Oh…" I returned to hack the squids to pieces. Sierra identified something so she hastened away from me. Looking back, I hoped that she didn't get caught, especially by my father, the King of the Nether.

Fury POV

I woke up to find myself next to a guy not much younger than me. With his eyes staring directly in front of him, he didn't seem to blink.

"Hello?" I asked, waving my hand in front of his face to try to get his attention, "What's going on?"

"Squids. Plenty of them."

"You look familiar. Do you I know you?"

"Probably."

"Your name? Possibly?"

"You ask a lot of questions."

I groaned, "What is your name?!"

"My Notch! I'm Sky!" He turned his now angry head at me.

"As in the Sky?"

"Yeah."

"Oh. What's with the squids? And where's my sister?"

"You mean Kitty?"

"Yeah!"

"She's over there. Here's my sword. Use it wisely." Sky glared at me in an awkward way.

"Why can't you fight?"

"Kidnapped and abused by those things. Broke my leg." He pointed to a girl who sat next to him. She was in the middle of a sleep, "Don't wake her. Not worth it. And if a squid comes, I know what to do."

"Okay. Well, nice to meet you, Sky."

"I didn't get your name."

"Fury."

His friendly grin pleased me. I raced off into battle.

Jordan's POV (I only put this here because there were other characters before him. No need to get confused.)

I teamed up with Mat and Ian. We took down at least thirty squids before I started to notice that we were winning. Most of the squids were gone, but all of our recruits remained standing and alive. They had minor injuries, but were able to fight.

"For Sky!" I heard a familiar voice scream. When Mat, Ian, and I turned to the direction of the voice, we saw Ty, Ryan, Quentin, Jerome, and one of the Sky Army recruits burst in through the woods and start chopping down squids.

"Finally!" I yelled. Ryan noticed me and we reunited by helping me kill a squid.

"I'm so glad that you're okay," Ryan told me.

"You're never gonna believe what's happened."

"Oh, I think I know pretty well. You're having a battle versus the squids without me!" We smacked down a couple more of them with our diamond swords, "And you won't believe who I found! I thought he was dead!"

"Who are you talking about?"

"Jordan."

Behind me stood none other than: Mitch.

"What the Nether?! But…"

"You thought I died. The squid didn't kill me. He knocked me unconscious. When I woke up, no one was on the battlefield, so I left."

"Man. Now I don't have to regret myself for anything!"

"You shouldn't have in the first place." Mitch smirked and split open a squid advancing towards him. Mitch, Ryan, and I met back up with Ian, Mat, and Preston, who had recently joined them. Jerome sped over and tackled Mitch. They almost got run over by incoming Enderdragon recruits until I helped pull them up. Ty and Quentin were able to find us and we fought the last of the squids.

I was the one who killed the last squid. The only one on the rival team who still stood was Mia.

"There's more where that came from," she announced.

"Give it up," Beatrice told her, "What are you trying to get from all this fighting?"

"Revenge. On Sky."

Sky, sitting against a tree off to the side, perked up his ears and used a branch to stand. iEcho woke up just in time to help him.

"I don't even remember what I did," Sky said, using iEcho as balance.

"Yes. You remember. You killed my brother."

"I don't…"

"His name was Harry. He was killed one day while out hunting. There would have been no other explanation than a murder. From the report I heard, there were no creepers, skeletons, any mobs that could've done any damage. The girl who he was hunting with came back and had no explanation for why he went missing. I believe that Sky went outside and since he had a hatred for Harry, killed him. The girl was just protecting him."

Sierra gasped and covered her mouth.

"Mia, you don't understand. I wouldn't kill any of my own recruits," Sky admitted.

"But you absolutely hated my family. For years, we had been part of the Sky Army and you paid no attention to any of us. One time, I started a revolution but one of your recruits…" Mia stared at Ty during this, "Had to ruin it."

"Have I had information on what was going on, I could have stopped it…"

"It's too late! He's gone! And it's your fault, Sky! You fault!" Mia spanned around and rushed through the forest. No one dared to follow her.
