Sky POV

"Sky?" Quentin asked me, "Why are we leaving so soon?"

"We have to get Yosh back to his group. Sierra and Snowy are probably desperate right now," I replied.

"But Cupquake was so nice…"

"Listen."

"But Sky…"

"Please," I turned my attention to Yosh, "Where was the last time you saw the girls?"

"It was at this path. There were crossroads and…" Yosh answered. He glanced down in thought.

"And?"

"I took the right path. It was left. Freaking left."

"So, where do you think they are?"

Yosh spun and faced me, creating an angry expression, "Why are you asking me?! I just told you that I don't know!" He glared behind me, "Who are you?"

"Huh?"

"I'm here for Ty." A female voice said. I turned towards the voice and noticed a familiar girl, "Do I know you?"

"No," she responded, "I need Ty." Ty perked up and looked at the girl.

"Um, I would have recognized you if I knew you. Why do you need me?" Ty questioned.

"Personal matters. We have to find two others and then complete our mission."

"Can I get your name?"

"Void. I'm not lying." She grinned and continued staring at Ty, glancing over at me every once in a while, "There's a secret that you should have known about years ago. Maybe you do… and I'm just a sucker."

Ty looked at me, Quentin, Yosh, and Annie, "I going with her."

"Why?!" I burst out, "You don't even know her!"

"I do."

"Really?"

He glanced away from us and focused his attention on Void. "I know. I'm not doing anything for him though."

"Him? What are you talking about?" I angrily turned to Void, "What kind of brainwashing method have you placed on my best friend?!"

"It's not brainwashing," Void grinned, "Come on Ty, our siblings are waiting."

"What?!" I confusedly watched them enter the woods yet again.

Beatrice POV

Ray and I had spent hours searching for Jordan and hadn't had any luck.

"Have any water?" I asked him.

"Nope. We're gonna have to find a lake or something," he replied.

"Okay." I panted and grabbed for a piece of watermelon out of my backpack. This was going to have to do for liquid in the meanwhile.

"Good thing we got away from those… what do you call them… Homies?" I heard a unfamiliar voice in the distance.

"Who's there?" I called out. I raised my sword to confront the enemy.

"Jordan, maybe that voice you heard earlier did work!" the voice joked.

"Ha ha. Not funny Ant," Jordan finally said.

"Jordan!" I yelled.

"Beatrice?"

"Yeah. Through the trees!" I rushed towards his voice and found a group of seven people including Sierra, Jordan, and some of the Sky Army recruits. One of them I did not recognize.

"I found you guys," I panted, "By the way, do you have water?" Jordan automatically pulled out a bottle and handed it to me to drink. He seemed worried and glanced up at Ray.

"Who is he?" he whispered in my ear.

"Oh, he's my brother."

"Wait… you have a brother?"

"Two actually. And one sister."

"So there's four children of you-know-who?"

"You can say his name out loud. It's not like it's cursed." I rolled my eyes.

"Fine. Herobrine. Are there four children of Herobrine?"

"Yes. And we need to find the fourth one before my sister finds him first."

"And who's your sister?"

"Void."

"Uh… and your brother?"

I paused before revealing it to him, and only him, "Ty."

iEcho POV

"Should we go in?" I asked the boys: Preston, Mat, and Ian.

"No way," Preston announced, "I don't want you out of all people to get hurt. We can come back with Sky and the others when…"

"I want to go in." Preston stared down at me.

"No. Echo, you gotta stay away from those squids. They're murderers."

"No one calls me Echo except…" I paused, "You're Sierra's brother. The one who saved me from the squids. That one battle. She knows that I like you."

"I honestly don't mind. My younger sister isn't the biggest worry right now."

"You have a sister?" Ian questioned.

"Shut up Ian!" Preston's usual cheery mood faded away as I heightened my interest to go back into the squid dimension.

"I have some unfinished business that I have to take care of," I told them.

"Like what?" Mat queried.

"I was in the same cell as Ant and Jason during the aftermath of the final battle. I want to know if they survived."

"No," Preston interrupted, "Not worth it. We're leaving." He stormed off, Ian after him. Mat shrugged and followed his buddies. Furious, I fixed my bow strap and the iron axe I held in my hand, and crept into the portal.

Once I entered, the first thing I noticed was… squids. Plenty of them. They formed group and squads patrolling the whole entire camp. I secretly made my way to the prisons. Fortunately, I was not caught.

"Who are you?" I listened for a grumbly faint voice coming near one of the cells. I peeked inside to see a young man starting to mentally crumble in the corner of the room.

"My name is iEcho…" I whispered.

"iEcho?" He grumbled and came closer into the light to reveal himself as Toby Turner, "Sounds familiar. Can you get me out of here?"

I perked up, "Yes, yes!" I scrambled around the quarters for a key to the lock on his cell. I took the set hanging from the wall and unlocked his cell. Toby stood up and squeezed together his jaw.

"Are there any others?" I asked him.

"Yeah. Jason is here…"

"As in Minecraft Universe Jason?"

"Yep."

"Where is he?"

We sneaked along the hallways and came upon those that were not empty. Jason and another man slouched against the wall. Jason awake, took a look at Toby and leaped up. He woke the other man. I pulled out another key and unlocked their cell.

"iEcho," Jason conveyed. He weakly hung onto me. The other man stood up with no problems and causally walked out of the cell.

"Who is he?" I asked Toby.

"Him?" Toby pointed to the man.

"Yeah."

"Sly. He was the leader of the Homies until he got kidnapped by the squids, like the rest of us."

"How about the others? Where are they?"

"Others? I don't know if there are others. They're either free or dead. None are in the cells."

Determined to leave alive, I carried Jason and led Toby and Sly back to the exit of the portal.

"Leaving so soon?" A girl's voice carried out. I recognized this voice from that battle. We turned to figure out that the voice belonged to Mia, "I'm glad you could make it, iEcho. The fun is just beginning." The last thing I saw before I blacked out was Mia's devilish grin and the army of squids behind her.

Oh noes! The squids have kidnapped iEcho! Will the others figure this out before it's too late?! Find out in the next chapters. Remember... Chapter 20 is approaching.
