A/N: Hello everyone! Diamond here! Finally. Sorry for the long wait, I do have a LOOOONG list of legit excuses. I'm sure none of you want to hear it, but it wasn't fun. Finals are coming up and I've been really busy the past month or so. Once school is out, updates will come much more quickly.

Previously… "Peculiar is missing!"

Daisy leapt out of bed. "We have to find him!"

"That's the plan. The thing is we have no weapons. The only thing we have is wood swords and they are crap. What we need is iron." Xephos said.

"Well lets go diggy diggy hole then." Honeydew said handing Daisy a wooden spade and Xephos a wooden pickaxe. "You guys dig and I'll defend. Daisy, you good to go?"

Daisy nodded and the trio headed outside.

"Is there a mine somewhere near here or are we just going in blind?" Daisy asked Xephos.

"Naturally we have no plan whatsoever. It's nothing new. Although, Honeydew claims to know where a ravine is." Xephos responded, looking pointedly at the dwarf.

Daisy rolled her eyes at this. "Bring a compass so we don't get lost."

"Good idea. I'll go grab one." Xephos said. He went inside and grabbed the compass. A button shone slightly on the side of it and he pressed it, setting their coordinates. Xephos pocketed it and went outside to join his companions.

"Follow me, I'll lead the way!" Honeydew announced, his dwarven accent become more pronounced.

"So which way are we going?"

Honeydew pointed off in a random direction. "This way."

Meanwhile, Peculiar has gotten himself into a sticky situation. He was completely lost in the network of underground tunnels. Water slowly dripped from the ceiling, make it even more miserable. The dangers were great down here. Things lurked down here that not even a newly made iron sword could handle. Dungons, ravines, strongholds, and abandoned mineshafts were scattered about. All of them contained a way to brutally kill him. Caves spiders nested in mineshafts, unknown horrors waited unsuspecting prey in strongholds, ravines posed a major burn to death by lava threat, and dungons contained endlessly spawning monsters. Peculiar didn't want to face any of those things.

Just thinking about the natural killing machines, Peculiar shuddered. He had to get out of here as soon as possible. Xephos and Honeydew both needed iron or better swords to fight effectively. Daisy could be backup with stone or iron. Armor would also be a great asset.

A low growl sounded from the other side of the tunnel, echoing eerily. Peculiar jumped at the sound. A zombie could mean a spawner. Spawners would produce an endless string of zombies until destroyed. The knight shook his head, as to clear it.

"I can't get caught up in this now. Daisy needs me back there with weapons and armor. I can't give up now." He whispered to himself.

Footsteps and a faint clacking noise alerted Peculiar to a skeletal archer. The thing shot at him, missing by an inch. Peculiar charged, the iron sword held up high. He slashed downwards and managed to knock off one of the arms. The skeleton gave an irritated clack and continued shooting with one arm. The missing limb affected its aim, which wasn't too great to start with. The next arrow flew a foot over Peculiar's head, lodging in the wall behind him. Peculiar charged again and this time he took off its head. The skeleton collapsed with a poof of dust and left only a single arrow and two bones behind. Thinking that they could come in handy later, Peculiar grabbed them and stuffed them into his almost overflowing pack.

While doing that he also took stock. Stuffed in his backpack was twenty blocks of iron ore, two diamonds, a stack of cobblestone, and ten bits of coal. The iron would be used for swords and armor while the two diamonds would be used for a sword,

Lost in his thoughts, Peculiar didn't hear the gravelly whisper that carried faintly down the tunnels.

"Go for the human. Take him alive but hurt him if you must."

A/N: Once again, sorry for the long wait and short chapter. Currently its 10:35 and I have finals tomorrow. Only 5 days of school left!
