Chapter 9: Final Showdown

This chapter is kinda of sad because...well...someone is gonna die. I won't say who, though. The only way to found out is to read.

(The squids and Minecrafters charge at each other. They swing their swords one by one, the squids diminish into nothingness. Their helmets clatter to the ground as they vanish. The Squid Leader looks as his army is wiped out quickly by the travelers. As the last of the squids are killed, the squid leader decides that he's gotta bail, so he opens a hatch in the ceiling and climbs up a leader. Sky sees him trying to escape and goes after him. Meanwhile, on top of the ship, the Squid Leader runs across the top of the ship. He runs to the edge and looks over. The land below him can barely be seen. As he turns around to step away, he is confronted by a very angry Sky, who pulls out his sword and starts walking menacingly at the aquatic creature).

-Sky: Squid...

-Squid Leader: Sky, please! Sky, don't do this! Have mercy on my soul.

-Sky: You don't deserve to live.

-Squid Leader: But...Sky. I...um...I didn't want to hurt anyone. Besides, it wasn't me. It was the other squids. They're the real enemy. This is all their fault. It was their idea. I didn't want to do anyway of this, but they threatened me with my life.

(Unknowingly, behind one of the fins of the ship, three squids are seen peering out and spying on the two. The squid growl angrily and back away, vanishing out of sight).

-Sky: Why should I believe you? You've done nothing but take my butter, brainwash one of my friends into doing your deeds, and try to kill me by using one of my friends.

-Squid: What are you going to do? Come on, you...you wouldn't kill another being, would you?

-Sky: You know, Squid...you're lucky I have enough sympathy for you just to let you live with your life. But under one condition, you shut down your weapon and don't let me catch you roaming around Minecraftia ever again...or else.

(Sky reveals his sword, making the Squid Leader flinch. Slowly, the aquatic humanoid cephalopod ascends to his feet and walks away from the Butter God).

-Squid Leader: Y-Yes...of course.

(The squid leader only takes a few steps away from Sky before stopping. He smiles evilly as he takes out a blue sword, out of his body).

-Squid Leader: But there is one problem, though, Sky.

-Sky: (angrily) What is it!?

-Squid Leader: You see, I don't give up with a FIGHT!

(Without warning, the squid throws the sword at Sky. The sword pierces into his right arm, making him scream in pain. Sky tries to pull out the sword, but it's too lodged in his arm and only causes more pain. Then, the Squid Leader lunges at him. The squid seizes him by the throat, but Sky punches him in the stomach, throwing him off-balance. The two being throw punches and kicks at each other. At one point, the squid grabs the sword, which is seen lodged into Sky's arm, and pulls it out of him, making him scream again. But Sky doesn't back down and continues fighting. Blood flows out of his arm and onto the ship as they violently fight. Sky takes one last punch and throws the Squid to the edge of the ship. He falls off, but he grabs to one of the water tanks of the ship. Sky looks over and sees the Squid Leader. Meanwhile, everyone in the ship is panicking as Husky tries to steer the ship).

-Jerome: Dude, do you even know how to drive a ship?

-HuskyMudkipz: Dude, do you even know how to shut up and let me concentrate so that we don't crash!?

-Dawn: Where's Sky?

-Kitty: I saw him go to the top of the ship to face against the Squid Leader.

-Crystal: I hope he comes out victorious.

(Meanwhile, at the top of the ship...)

-Sky: It's over now, Squid.

-Squid Leader: I'm not going to lose! If I die, then you'll die with me!

(The squid extends out an arm and grabs Sky by his foot. Sky slips off the top and the Squid Leader lets go of the tank. Meanwhile, inside the ship, everyone looks in horror as as they look out one of the windows and see Sky and the Squid Leader fall towards the ground).

-Dawn: SKY, NNNOOOOO!

-HuskyMudkipz: Fuck this! There's no use now. I'm crashing this ship.

(Husky moves the controller downward and the ship slowly descends down towards Minecraftia. The nose of the ship touches the ground, then the entire body of the ship skids across the land, killing a few cows and pigs in the way of the ship. The ship eventually stops next to a forest. The portion of the ship opens, then falls off. Everyone is seen exiting the ship. Dawn runs away from the ship, comes to a nearby hill and looks everywhere for Sky. Then, she sees something. The Squid Leader is seen, dead with one of the water tanks crushing half of his body. Soon, the others join Dawn and look everywhere for their friend).

-Ssundee: Where's Sky?

-Jerome: There! He's over there!

(Jerome points to the west direction. Everyone looks in that direction. A familiar being is seen, lying across the ground, limbs spread out and no movement whatsoever. Everyone figures out that it's Sky).

-Dawn: No...

(Dawn keeps repeating 'no' as she steps off the hill and runs over to his body. Dawn walks over to where Sky's head is and collapses to her knees. The others run over to where Sky is. TrueMU and BajanCanadian, who are no longer under the squid's control, make it to them and look in sadness. TrueMU walks over to Sky, pulls up his arm, and feels around his wrist for a pulse, but he can't find it).

-TrueMU: I can't believe it. He's...he's dead.

-Dawn: (Voice breaking) No...he can't be dead! He's...he's...my boyfriend!

(Dawn covers her face as she begins to sob wildly. The others break down in tears as well, but quietly).

-Deadlox: Sky's dead...and it's all my fault!

(Deadlox angrily kicks a nearby rock away and leans his head against a tree as he cries uncontrollably. HuskyMudkipz comes to his side).

-HuskyMudkipz: Dude, listen. It's not your fault. It was the squid's fault. They're the ones responsible for your corruption.

-Deadlox: I know...but I can't feel like this is all my fault. What will we do now?

-HuskyMudkipz: I don't know...

(The others look in sorrow and silence as the butter god lays lifeless across the ground, in the middle of the harsh wilderness of Minecraftia).
