Chapter 16
Skystead Siege
Authors Note 4: I realize that the last chapter didn'thave a number… But this one does! - LegendFruit
They had been planning this for days by now… After Alexandra's story they wanted revenge. Not only for Alexandra and her family but also Chloe. They had sent a spy (Nathan) to see what had happened. He learned that they were the most wanted people in Skystead and in surrounding villages. Nathan also reported that Skystead had walls all around it. (Nothing a good TNT cannon won't take care of) Then they started assembling members. It turned out that there was over-one-hundred thirty-seven members. They all gathered near Skystead, some building TNT cannon's, some setting up tents and some strategizing. A special soldier walked around waiting for battle. He was an enderman and human hybrid. His left eye was of one of an enderman and the other of a human. He would keep asking when they would attack and they just answered: "When we're ready."
Jett stood on a platform with a loaded cannon on it. "We have learned so much in the past months," Jett yelled. "And now we attack the main base! We will revenge all that have been effected by this village! We will stop Vitali from taking over Minecraftia! Only three people have fought him and survived! Those three people are our generals!" he gestured to Kaz, Chloe, and Aidan. "We will not surrender no matter how hard the battle is!" Jett pulled a switch causing the cannon to fire. "CHARGE!" Chloe commanded. The small army charged towards the hole the cannon made. The three looked at each other sending a message that only they could understand "I got the redbull." They looked forward and charged.
Once in the walls they started fighting off soldiers. When one came at Kaz, Chloe would spin into the soldier. When a soldier came at Chloe, Aidan and Kaz would push him around like a game of ping pong until he fell to the ground. They fought for what felt like hours until they burst into a home. In the home Alexandra stood surrounded by soldiers. Aidan ran at the soldiers knocking them down and stomping on them. When all the soldiers where gone there was only one person left. The agile man. The agile man grabbed Alexandra and put a sword to her throat. "Lead me to the crystals and she'll live." He said with a hoarse voice. "No need for that Ash." Vitali appeared behind the Ash. Ash looked at Vitali like he was insane. "They have the crystals." Vitali moved his hand and the crystals appeared. Ash let go of Alexandra and she fell on her knees. She picked up her sword and stabbed the mayor, the agile man and Ash (All the same person really). The crystals fell and floated back to the three. Alexandra gestured for them to follow her. They ran through the village killing people as they ran. They came to a blacksmith with weapons and tools spread around. Brayden stood there fighting off soldiers like the blacksmith was there main keep. Once all the soldiers where defeated he looked at them and said "I don't have time to explain how or why you have the crystals when we left them at the main keep, but I need them to forge our success." They agreed to the "plan" and the crystals appeared. Kevin came out of the building with a glowing hammer. Brayden heated the crystals up in the lava and then doused it in water. They we're now flat surfaces ready to be formed into something new. "Protect us!" Kevin said as a group of soldiers headed their way. Aidan and another soldier locked blades right away and a battle of pure strength started. When the soldier started to overtake Aidan he moved his body so the soldier would fall and die. Kaz punched an explosive punch knocking the soldiers back and making it easier for Chloe to shoot. They fought wave after wave off until their swords broke and their arrows we're gone. Until, finally, Brayden called for them. "We need you to hit your crystal with this hammer." Brayden handed Kaz a hammer. "How do we know which one is ours?" Aidan asked inspecting the hammer. "They call to you." Was all Brayden said. Kaz looked at the row of shining weapons. A battle axe, a bow, and a sword. She knew which one was hers. "ARRGH!" She hit the battle axe as hard as she could and handed the hammer to Chloe. "Archery or sword play?" She asked herself. "Archery." She raised the hammer up ward and brought it down with a roar. Aidan grabbed the hammer and looked at the sword. "Three things? One, Two and then me. Or is it three?" He smiled and swung the hammer around his head three times and brought it down. Kevin took the hammer from Aidan and put it on a rack. The three weapons started to glow. "You have changed our shape into weapons of true heroes." The crystals floated into their hands. The three looked at each other sending another message. "Let's stop Vitali!" and they ran towards the town hall.
