Chapter 6
Breaking and entering
They had been walking for a while until they came to a castle… Or at least until they saw the castle. It was placed in a bad spot for a castle. (A good spot would be a hill or a mountain) It was near a forest (which is a fail in its self) but still far from the forest. It was perfect... For 'The Heroes of Minecraftia' that is. "We have two ways we can get into the castle." Brayden said grabbing a stick and breaking it in half. "Three ways, I can transform into my Zilla form." Chloe corrected imagining herself in her Zilla form crushing the walls down. "Three ways we can get it. One we shoot the sentries and then climb the wall, two we can look for a secret passage and three Chloe can transform causing us to be known right away." Brayden started to draw the outline of the castle in the mud. "I just thought of a fourth one. We can dig under it and- Aidan was interrupted by Kevin "Or we can blow the wall down!" Kevin smiled. Chloe felt more and more that Kevin was insane. "Ok. We are here," Brayden pointed to a forest looking picture in the mud. "If we can get a good distraction then we can go towards the back and dig under. Or we can look for a secret passage." Brayden made a person in the mud – the distraction - and the rest of the group going to the back of the castle. It was a good plan Chloe had to admit but she felt like she would be the distraction. They didn't seem to except her into the group. It was the same with Kaz. "Who will be the distraction?" Daniel asked who had been examining the sentries. "The new guys." Jett said trusting that his cousin would be able to make a good distraction. "Oh…" Chloe was disappointed. She had hoped that she would have been able to be a hero heroine and fight off an ambush of soldiers or something. But no. "The mission can't be done without the distraction." She told herself. "What will we do for a distraction..?" Kaz asked wondering. "We're being chased by… by… By invisible monsters!" Chloe said happy with her idea. "Perfect! And the signal for you guys to go will be… When Kaz says- Kaz interrupted Aidan with a hiss. A creeper's hiss, he had nearly forgotten that she was half creeper half human. He smiled.
They stood up ready to be the distraction. "1…2…3… Go!" They took off with a face of fear on. "HELP HELP HELP!" Chloe yelled. Aidan drew his sword and started swinging at air. Soon a soldier noticed them and told the other sentries. "What are you doing you twats?!" A soldier asked. "Invisible creepers!" Kaz yelled that was the cue. The three ran away from each other not wanting to get hurt from Kaz's explosion. BOOM! Kaz laid on the ground like she had been blown up by a creeper. No one could see it but she was smiling. Aidan glanced towards the forest. He saw Daniel running with the rest of the group. He gave him a thumbs up.
They picked Kaz up and ran into the forest smiling. The plan had worked better than they thought it would. They put Kaz down. "That plan worked amazingly well!" Kaz exclaimed standing up. "Should we follow after them?" Aidan asked breathing heavily. Chloe look towards the castle. "Two soldiers are coming this way. We can make a run for it before they get here!" Chloe stood up ready to run. "Ok… 1… 2… 3!" And they sprinted away.
When they caught up to the group without getting seen Chloe asked if they had found anything. "Not yet…" Daniel said investigating a rock. "What's that?" Kaz walked over to a patch of sand. "It's sand." Kevin said with a 'duh' face on. Kaz hit the sand in annoyance. Suddenly the sand started to fall into a hole. They ran over to the hole to see that it was a cave. As if on cue Kaz yelled "It's a secret passage!" The group looked at each other and shrugged. They jumped down with an 'oof'. "Oooowwwwwww!" Aidan complained. "Oh shut up!" Kaz yelled from farther in the passage. Which, turned out to be a long stone corridor. "They made this all in three months?" Jett 'asked' amazed. "That's what the reports say." Daniel said doubting that it was really made in three months. They walked until they came to a fork in the corridor. "Which way now?" Chloe asked. "Well we never split the party…" Aidan said. "So stick to the left!" They nodded in agreement and went to the left. "And the boss was like "Stop slacking"!" they heard a voice say. They looked for a place to hide but couldn't find one. "What now?" Kaz whispered. "Daniel can shoot them silently. Right?" Aidan asked Daniel. He nodded and grabbed his bow. As if on cue the soldiers came walking towards them. "The boss is so strict. I think he's insane- the arrows flew at the two soldiers perfectly. "Wow," Aidan exclaimed "Two arrows at once!" Daniel received his arrows from the corpses. The group continued walking until the came to a stairway. "Who goes up first?" Jett asked walking to the edge of the stairs. "You and Aidan." Daniel said "The stairs are wide enough for two. And only two." He added. The two walked up the stairs hands on their weapons. They opened the door and stepped into a big room. They saw a long table with soldiers eating. The soldiers saw them. "OI! Get them!" A soldier said. The rest of the group heard this and they ran up the stairs (Awkwardly). Meanwhile they had drawn their swords and were fighting off soldiers. Daniel and Kaz were the first up the stairs. Daniel started firing arrows at soldiers why Kaz drew her single-handed battle axe and started chopping soldiers down. Chloe and Kevin were up the stairs next. Chloe drew her bow and started firing and Kevin went in bare handed. A soldier ran at Aidan and he remembered his creative kills. The soldier brought his sword down on him but he dodged. The soldier fell over. Aidan put his foot on the soldier. Aidan picked up the sword the soldier dropped and stabbed him. "Not the most creative." He thought. Meanwhile, Chloe dodged an arrow and picked up a sword from a fallen soldier. She dropped her bow behind her and dodged another arrow. When she was close enough she started to spin. The archer fell to the ground holding his stomach. Kaz ran over to Chloe throwing her battle axe at a soldier. The axe didn't go far and she had to tackle Chloe to stop her from getting decapitated. She stood up as fast as she fell down grabbing her battle axe. Kaz tripped the soldier and decapitated him. Kevin jumped over the two and tackle another soldier. He picked him up and held him still for Daniel. As fast as the battle started it ended. With food and blood on the table. They checked if the doors were locked and started to eat. Chloe soon noticed that the salad they had been making two days ago was in the middle of the table. She pointed this out thinking of the worse things that could have happened. "How do you know it's ours?" Aidan and Kaz asked. "The bowl. I made it myself." They looked at the bowl and sure enough. It was the same bowl. Thoughts raced through their heads. "Did they attack the house?" Chloe thought, "Did they steal the bowl? But why would they do that?" Kaz thought, "What is this black magic?" Aidan thought.
