Hi! Three chapters in two days. I'm being a good girl and sticking to my schedule, I promise. Sorry it's a little short. I STILL have writer's block. Argh.
Hope you enjoy!
Precisely five minutes 24 seconds later, Dragon, Dynamite and Nether stood in front of a huge mansion that towered so high you couldn't see the top of it. It was made of gemstones. A flashy sign out the front told anyone who cared to look that this was a home of Sun the Almighty Ruler Of…
Nether was bruised. She was bleeding. She was in far worse condition than she'd ever been in before after a fight.
But she was elated.
However, there was a new, calculating glint in her eye that perplexed and unsettled Dragon. Dynamite, not exactly overburdened with perception, did not notice this, but simply fired a barrage of questions at Nether, all of which received only a few syllables and an enigmatic smile in reply.
Dragon had lapsed into a silence, Nether wasn't saying much, but it was okay because Dynamite was saying entirely too much.
But in the middle of a sentence Dynamite looked around suddenly. "What- was- that?"
She cocked her head as though that would help her hear another explosion if one came.
Nether grinned. "Just a little something I made to kick Sun's sorry ass."
Right on cue, the walls to the mansion about fifty metres away broke and the Wither floated out, making its grotesque, breathy hum all the while.
After it stumbled Sun, looking even worse than Nether. Hunter was nowhere to be seen.
"Oh- uh-"
There was an awkward pause. Dynamite stared at the weirdo man with pupil-less golden eyes.
And now she'd seen everything.
Then Nether smiled almost triumphantly.
"This is getting real sociable, isn't it?" *
Sun glanced around and seemed surprised at Dynamite's being there.
"Um… no."
Nether rolled her eyes. "Nobody asked for your opinion."
The Wither grunted.
"Now, Sun, I'm going to need to borrow a Nether Star. I don't have one on me. Dragon, I've seen your damn Endermen everywhere in the Nether lately. They kept on taking the Netherrack-"
"Nether, why do you need…" Sun broke in. He paused. Then his eyes widened, round as saucers. "No. No. Nether, no. I am not giving you a Nether Star."
Nether looked at him and laughed callously. "Good job for figuring it all out. But you apparently don't realise just how naïve you're being."
Sun looked like he begged to differ. But Nether went on before he could say anything.
"Don't you see? I found Wither Skeleton skulls in some chests. And of course I can make more Soul Sand."
Suddenly Sun hated her voice so much his ears were almost bleeding. "You don't-"
"Accept it, Sun. I have you exactly where I want you. You know what I'm going to do, and you don't have any way at all to stop it. I can get the Nether Star whether you give it to me or not. You know it's true."
The Wither growled menacingly.
Hehe, I left you hanging! Hahahahahahahahaha!
*If you understood that reference, we can be friends. Hint: It involves Eddie the computer.
P.S. If you have any ideas about what Nether plans to do, post it in the reviews.
Except you, HeilBastet, because you know. NO SPOILERS, ok, HeilBastet?
But yeah... I is a total weirdo, so, y'know, it could be anything.
