Hey, guys! I've decided I'm not gonna post anything on weekends... Unless I'm really bored and I need something to keep me busy. SO, here's the next chapter... PLEASE GIVE ME IDEAS IN THE REVIEWS! I NEED HALP!
Sky's POV
"SKY! GET UP!" someone yells. I groan and pull the covers up over my head.
"Go away," I grumble.
The person shakes me and I roll off the edge of my bed in an attempt to get away. I hit the floor with a thud and groan again. "Deadlox," I moan, standing up and glancing at the clock by my bed. "It's only THREE AM! WHY!?"
He shrugs. "Sorry. We have to go, though. Now."
"And why is that?" I ask, rolling my eyes and throwing my sheets and pillows back on my bed. My back feels sorta weird... I reach behind my back and feel my shirt, sticky. I pull my hand away.
IT'S BLUE! Well... I probably could have found a better way to color my bed the color of a squid. I guess straight out dumping paint on it wasn't the best idea. I turn my attention back to Deadlox.
"Squids are attacking. They're seriously EVERYWHERE. Huge swarms of them are slowly moving through the halls. They're not even paying attention to Jason or Mitch or Jerome, or really any of the others. They're heading straight for your room, Sky. We have to go," he says quickly, looking nervous.
"Dude. Their just squids. Unless they've got a mutant with them, the most they can do is annoy us. And I don't think a mutant squid would even fit in this place," I reply.
Deadlox starts impatiently tapping his foot. "Come on, Sky, I mean it! Mutant or not, we don't want them to find you."
I sigh. "Fine. Have it your way." I stumble to my closet, pull out a random outfit, and then step to the bathroom to change. Once I'm out, Deadlox grabs my arm and literally drags me through my bedroom door.
"Sky, would you puh-lease use your legs?" he asks. I groan and start running. He rolls his eyes and leads me to an iron door with a stone button next to it. While he presses it, I turn around for a second. There's nothing following us... Why are we in such a rush?
Then the squids come. Hundreds of them, maybe thousands, come pouring out of every room and hallway. I gasp, and Deadlox pulls me through the iron door to a room made of obsidian. He sighs with relief and sits down, leaning against the wall. "They won't get through there. They're too stupid to push the button, and they're not strong enough to break obsidion. We're safe... For now."
I nod slowly. "What is their PROBLEM?" I ask.
"You're in a war against them, Sky. That's their problem."
"But seriously, haven't they ever heard of forgive and forget?"
"Apparently not. But, I mean, it's hard to forget the killing of most of your species."
"WHY DO I HATE THEM SO MUCH?"
"They annoy you to no end. Plus, they've kidnapped us, attempted to kill us..." He trails off.
"Okay. That's a pretty good reason. But still," I say.
Suddenly the iron door falls down. Deadlox's eyes widen. "DUDE! HOW'D THEY DO THAT? THEY'RE JUST SQUIDS!"
I pull him up as the squids leak into the room. "Hurry up!" I shout, and this time I'm dragging him to safety. Eventually he realizes what's happening and starts using his legs, and that helps a lot. I lead him to what I think is the storage room and start opening chests. Finally, I find two gold ingots, and a stick. I run to the crafting table to make a sword while Deadlox puts his weight against the door in an attempt to keep the squids from breaking in.
"Hurry!" he says as he pushes against the wooden door. I nod, smile, and walk over to the door. "Why not diamond?" he asks. "We've got some in that chest over there."
I shake my head and he smiles, glad that I prefer gold over diamond, I guess. "Gold is WAY better."
He frowns. "You mean budder?"
I shrug. "Call it what you want, it'll still slice through those squids with ease," I reply. He nods and steps away from the door. A squid wriggles through the door and looks at me. At first it looks absolutely murderous, but then it sees my sword and just looks scared. "Do you like it?" I ask him. The squid squirms a bit, not willing to back down, but still extremely terrified. I smirk. "I sure like it. Haven't tried it out, though. Maybe I'll do that now." I stab the sword through the squid's mouth and he falls to the ground. The other squids widen their eyes as they watch me murder their friend. I laugh and charge forward, slicing and stabbing and chopping. Deadlox just stands in the storage room and smiles. Was this what I was like before I lost my memory? Sword-happy whenever it came to squids?
I slice up the last squid and stand back to admire my work. Squid bodies are lying across the room, and slowly but surely they are disintegrating, leaving only a puff of smoke, experience orbs, and an inc sac or two in their wake. "It smells like squids in here," I comment, wrinkling my nose.
Deadlox wanders around the room, picking up inc sacs. "That was amazing," he says.
I smile sadly. "You think so? Thanks. I never knew mercilessly slaying water creatures would be so satisfying." I sink to the ground, willing myself not to cry. "Did you SEE that? I just- inc was everywhere. I never stopped slicing. I never stopped stabbing. Not for one moment. They weren't even attacking any more, they were just running. But I didn't let them run, I was always one step ahead of them, plunging my sword into their bodies."
Deadlox walks over to me. "It's OK. They're just mobs. Anyway, they're EVIL mobs. So really, you did the world a favor by taking them out."
I nod. "I guess... I have a question. Why is it that even by simply looking at their slimy blue skin, I am extremely annoyed?"
He chuckles. "They're just really annoying, Sky. You have a right to be annoyed. Hey, do you- do you remember that time- do you remember Hologram Deadlox?"
"Hologram Deadlox- what? Wait..." I can hear his sharp intake of breath as he waits for me to answer. "Hologram Deadlox... I- I sort of remember... Someone got kidnapped... Jason and I were going to rescue him... The dude showed up in hologram form... but... but we could still touch him... and he could hit us..."
"Yes?" Deadlox says, urging me to continue. "Go on."
"THE SQUIDS! THE SQUIDS KIDNAPPED HIM! And whoever it was, they were really important to me... I can't remember who it was. BUT I REMEMBER THOSE BLASTED SQUIDS! WHAT IS THEIR PROBLEM? SERIOUSLY, I THINK KIDNAPPING SOMEONE IS GOING A LITTLE TOO FAR! Hey, wait... they did it more than once, though, didn't they? They kidnapped Dawn, too!"
Deadlox nods and smiles, but his eyes look sad. They look disappointed, like I've forgotten something important. "You remember! Awesome... But.. but you're sure you don't remember the hologram?"
"Well, you asked me earlier if I remembered Hologram Deadlox, so I'm guessing it was you... But, no, I don't actually remember you being there. I don't actually remember anything about you from before I lost my memory," I reply. "I'm sorry, Deadlox."
He nods again. "It's Okay... You'll remember eventually." He smiles and starts to continue cleaning up the inc sacs. I don't think he meant for me to hear what he says next. "I hope..."
xXx
So there's chapter six! That is chapter six, right? I forget what chapter I'm on. Oh well. You know what I mean. Now, I have to go. I'm gonna go watch The Bachelor with my mom. I usually hate this kind of show... But... well. If I get bored, I'll just go watch Skydoesminecraft. Yeah.
WELL, BYE, GUYS!
(If you have any ideas for a better name for yourselves, put it in the reviews!)
