The song for this chapter is: Outcast by Kerrie Roberts.
Cupcuake POV
Why did they have to leave? I was so close to getting my hands on the Budder King… my boss wouldn't like that so much. I should've caught them when I had the chance. But I knew the person responsible for their exit: Isabel. She had told them my secrets, not all, but some. Yosh had believed her and told the others that they were leaving. I could only sit there, staring at them. Unless they came back… wait… I could have recruited my friend… but she has business of her own.
I sat at my desk in my office, glancing outside the side window for any visitors. One of my recruits came up to my desk and placed a letter on the table, "Here you go, Miss Cupquake."
"Thank you Harry." I grinned, knowing that my frenemy had her eyes out for him. I was not a big fan of her plans, but I knew that she was out to destroy Sky and his army. That I could stand. Besides, knowing an evil mastermind such as Herobrine helps out a girl. Right?
"What do you want me to do now?" Harry obediently asked.
"Open the letter and read it to me, please."
Without hesitation, Harry cut the envelope and pulled out a sheet of paper.
"Cupquake, I know you work with the squids…" I perked up from slouching in my chair. He continued, "And that CaptainSparklez is a powerful weapon that the squids desperately need. I want you to stop brainwashing your victims and let Mia's brother leave your quote-a-quote prison. Leave Sky and all of his friends alone, for your own sake. There is no way that I will stop until I see you let go of your past. Just move on, Tiffany. As always, keep me in mind."
"Continue!" I announced.
"That's it. There's nothing else on the paper."
"What?!" I leaped up from my chair and ripped the letter from his hands. I read it over at least three times before realizing that Harry was correct. There was no name, "Who could've sent this to me…?"
Void POV
"Come along Ty," I whispered. I led Ty away from the Sky Army and closer to where I thought my other siblings were.
"Why do you want me? I thought I told him I would never help!"
"I remember you saying that. But he told me so. I always take orders. It's my job." Ty rolled his eyes.
We suddenly heard voices in the distance, "So as I was telling you, Herobrine forced me and Ray to do perilous jobs and… Did you hear that?" I spun around to notice Ty crumbling a dead leaf in his hands. He grinned.
"You son of a b****."
"I am the son of a b****, if you think about it. Herobrine is one." I growled and forced him to the ground, "Get off! Get off me you f****** creep!"
While about to strangle Ty, I noticed shoes on the ground next to my face. I forcefully lifted him up and pushed him against a tree. I finally recognized who I was standing next to: Jordan, Beatrice and Ray.
"I'm glad to see you two again," I bowed.
"Don't bow in front of me," Ray snarled.
"Well, you're a grumpy boy."
"I don't' take any freaking orders from that… thing!"
"You're calling your father a thing?"
"What are you talking about?" Jordan asked.
"I'll tell you, pretty boy. I'm taking my brothers and sister here to reunite with their parents. Our father misses us dearly."
"Cut it out!" Ray yelled.
"But maybe, Jordan, I can take you with me…" As I said this, I noticed Sierra, Snowy, and a few of the Sky Army recruits come out of the shadows in one big group. Out of the corner of my eye another group appeared. I turned my attention to the incoming group. The others did as well.
Jordan POV (Again, don't want you to get confused.)
"Why are you here?" Void asked the group, led by an unfamiliar girl.
"Cupquake?" Ty questioned.
"Yes, I'm here to get revenge. I now realize that you sent me this note Void." Cupquake held up a piece of paper. Void stared at her as I attempted to lead Sierra, Snowy, Mitch, Jerome, Ant, Ryan, and Ty away from the scene. She stopped us, "Don't you think you can get away!" Cupquake grabbed me by my shirt and pulled me towards . She started whispering in my ear, "You and iEcho are the secret weapons. You saw Sky close to killing one of our prized squids. You two and him must die."
"You don't have iEcho or Sky!" I confronted her.
"Oh really?" Cupquake smirked, "At least I have the girl."
"How'd she…?"
"iEcho was trying to save her friends. Jason is there, and Toby, and Sly."
"Sly…" I heard Snowy whisper in the background.
"So don't try to get away. Mia has some unfinished business." In a split second, Cupquake teleported the two of us into the squid dimension.
The first thing I noticed was iEcho chained to a wall. Her arm and leg were bleeding. Jason, with a bloody nose, sat next to her.
"Why?" I lowered my head in shame.
"It's not your fault Jordan," iEcho told me, "I ran off. Preston was trying to keep me safe… I know who he is by the way. He's Sierra's…" She was slapped in the face by a squid. Her face turned red from the tentacle.
"Let her go!" I screamed, "You can keep me, but at least let them leave!"
"No way," Cupquake grinned as she pulled me over to where Mia sat in a large obsidian made chair, and knocked me on my knees. I groaned as I was pushed down.
"Hello again Jordan," Mia said.
"Let them go," I whimpered, trying to stay strong, "Please."
"Cupquake, get the children of Herobrine. They'll lead him here… and then we can sacrifice this one and the girl." Mia softly scratched my chin. I wanted to swing at her but a squid held back my arms. Cupquake ran off. All I did was stare at the ground, feeling purely defenseless.
"Why iEcho?" I asked her.
"What?"
"Why iEcho?"
"She has powers that you don't even know about. You may think that your girlfriend Sierra has all the power, but that's because she has Sky's gold necklace."
"Budder," I jokingly mumbled. Mia didn't seem to be enthused.
"As I was saying, you have special powers as well. Many of your friends have powers and you don't know anything about it. The thing is… yours is the strongest. iEcho's would be the second."
"And you want to sacrifice us to Herobrine?"
"Yes. That is my plan."
"Someone will stop you. If it isn't me or iEcho, then it'll be the rest of the Sky Army. They'll realize I'm gone and then…"
"I wouldn't count on Sky to come. He's busy with Herobrine already. He's probably gotten his grasp on Sky and your girlfriend already."
"Liar!" I screamed, "You're pure evil!"
"I'm most likely worse than Herobrine himself, don't you think?" I didn't say anything back. She chuckled and motioned for the squids to chain me up. They sat me next to iEcho, as Mia walked away, and put the chains on my wrists. The squids left the prison cell and locked the door shut.
"Remember it's not your fault," iEcho reminded me, "As I was telling you… Sierra is Preston's sister."
"Really?"
"Yeah. He saved me from the squids one time during a battle and I didn't recognize him until the last time I saw him. He probably knows about my powers."
"Can someone explain this whole power thing to me? Cause I'm lost."
"This is gonna sound really, really weird but we're related."
"What?"
"And we're the last surviving children of… Notch." I stared at her with my eyes wide open.
Wait… Jordan is the child of Notch?! This is crazy! Not as crazy as Chapter 20! See for yourselves!
