Author's Note:

Hello/Hi my readers I'm sorry for the late update since school has started I will only be able to update it 1-2 chapters per week … so anyways let's get this show on the road!

Chapter 16: The Bounty Hunter's Mission

Xander's Perspective:

After the sleepover everything went on as usual but sometimes I feel uneasy for some reason … but I usually don't mind it I guess it's because of the tension around Minecraftia, lately reports say that Herobrine is attacking villages and trying to overthrow a Kingdom luckily none has fallen yet but were still struggling. The statue is still safe and that's a good thing but what I'm worried is what is he planning … I went out to the river to take a quick breather as I sat near the river I could hear the sound of water rushing against some pebbles … it was so relaxing that I nearly fell asleep (but I didn't) as continued to sit suddenly a shuriken nearly hit me … it's a good thing it didn't so I stood up and looked at where it came from as I looked up I saw a guy in black standing on one of the trees branches then he said …

?: It seems that I have missed my attack.

Xander: (draws sword) Who are you?

?: Let's just say I was hired to kill you …

Xander: Let me guess … it was Herobrine was it.

?: Correct! Well now you know who hired me it is clear what I need to do.

Xander: Well I guess that's true but … I wouldn't be so sure that it will be easy.

?: (grabs two daggers) Well let's just se about that!

As he said those words he jumped straight at me and tried to slash me I then was able to block it but then he disappeared the moment I realized he's behind me and delivered a swift kick to my back, I tumbled and got slammed to a tree then I got back up and charged at him I was able to land a strong blow on him but the next attacks he dodged with ease then he grabs two tiny balls and threw it at me, I was able to dodged but the explosion was strong it sent rocks flying at that time my leg was hit by one and I landed with a thud I couldn't stand up my leg was injured badly … I knew I should have trained more! Then as I look up he was standing there glaring at me holding up one of his daggers …

?: Your attacks are strong but you aren't fast enough to deliver them.

Xander: Darn! Who are you?!

?: Well … let's just say I'm a famous bounty hunter.

Xander: A Bounty Hunter? So you're doing this just to get paid, right?

?: No

Xander: What why?!

?: It's because of important manners that you don't need to know … anyways you won't be here long (raises his dagger) Good bye!

?: STOP!

As I heard that voice I open my eyes to see that a barrier of ice was surrounding me I looked to place of the voice and saw Snowy after that the so called Bounty Hunter suddenly shivered and threw a smoke bomb and disappeared Snowy then approached me and asked ...

Snowy: Are you alright?

Xander: Ugh … yeah kinda … just had a little battle which ended up with a broken leg …

Snowy: I guess that's a no (helps me stand). Let's bring you back.

As I return back to the house with Snowy I was treated by Motor and was able to walk again and so we explained what happened …

? Perspective:

I thought I would be able to do this quick and easy but it turns out I was stalled due to "her" showing up I'm glad she didn't notice but I still need to do this for our sake … if I don't complete this bounty she might … No! I need to do this I don't want losing another one also I promised I'd take care of her 'till the end but first I need to rethink my plan. I went back to my little shack that I built close to the target's area so I can observe him better now let's see … I'll make this quick when they go to sleep tonight I'm gonna sneak in the house and kill him in his sleep that way they'll probably give her back to me, now I just need to wait …

Snowy's Perspective:

As I was heading towards Stella's place I heard fighting so I came to the area and saw Xander fighting a ninja or assassin he was about to get killed so I shielded him with my Ice barrier and when he looked at me he then fled I wonder why? But Xander needed help so I did and brought him to his house where he got cured then we talked about what happened …

Stella: So what happened out there?

Xander: Well you see someone attacked me who was hired by Herobrine to kill me.

Motor: Probably you are a threat to him.

Xander: Then I was nearly killed it was a good thing Snowy was able to shield me before I got hit.

Snowy: Yeah, when I saw it I shielded him immediately then the attacker escaped.

Andr: Any idea who he might be?

Xander: He did say he was a famous bounty hunter …

Snowy: (a surprised expression shown on my face) It can't be!

Stella: What do you mean?

Snowy: Well … err … I think I might know who he is …

Motor: Really?! But how?

Snowy: But first … Xander what weapon did he use?

Xander: Well he had two daggers …

Snowy: *sigh* that's definitely him …

Cupa: Who is?

Snowy: Case …

Stella: What?! You mean the one you met!

Snowy: Yeah I guess so …

Xander: Well the real problem is that he's still after me and it seems he didn't take the job due to cash.

Andr: Also I've heard that he's a good guy but why did he accept Herobrine's requests?

Cupa: (hugs Xander) As long as he doesn't harm my sweet Xander again I won't hurt him.

Xander: *sigh* Cupa quit it!

Motor: So if he's not after money and he's a good guy why did he accept it?

Chrome: (stands up) There's only one way to do it!

Motor: And what is that?

Chrome: We'll set up a trap for him.

Stella: But how?

Chrome: We'll use Xander as bait then when he strikes, we'll corner him and capture him, then ask him what his deal is.

Andr: Sounds good!

Snowy: Be careful not to overdo it!

Cupa: (smiles) You worried we might hurt him to much?

Snowy: (looks away and blushes) It's not like that!

Xander: Just don't let me get killed, okay?

Motor: Who knows maybe in the process an accident may occur.

Xander: Why you little!

Chrome: (glares) Shut it you two! And let's get started.

Everyone: Right!

So Chrome's plan was to capture him so Xander went outside and act as if stargazing while we stay close by hidden then after a few minutes Case seems to have bought it and attacks Xander when he did Chrome jumped out and attacked but Case dodged it then Motor and Stella took a shot but missed, Cupa was able to hit him slightly also Andr then he jumped high making vulnerable then I sent out a strong cold wind which practically froze him after a while he was brought inside for talking but we waited till he thawed out and tied him to a chair when he came to be he looked around in confusion and asked …

Case: Uhh … what happened?

Snowy: Well … you got frozen solid by me.

Case: What?! huh? What are these ropes for? Untie me now!

Snowy: Whoa! Easy their Case chill we just want to ask you some questions.

Case: Questions?

Xander: Yes, questions like what is your real purpose?

Case: My purpose is to kill you it was a request.

Snowy: But you said it wasn't for the money …

Case: Well of course it wasn't for the money only.

Xander: Then why? It looks like you're hiding something from us.

Case: Why should I tell you?!

Xander: Because you're a captive and you're at our will.

Case: Well it makes sense but I still won't tell you.

Xander: Motor your truth potion please.

Motor: (gives a bottle) Here you go just let him drink this and he'll tell the truth.

Case: Wait what?! a potion … mmph!

As Xander puts the bottle in his mouth he drinks it all and later Xander asked questions again …

Xander: Okay so tell us everything you know.

Case: Well you see I happen to have a little sister who I loved so much but when I left her alone one time I came back to see her not at home and there was a letter that said they have my sister and if I don't follow their requests they will kill her. I was then fetched by Herobrine's goons after a day and I met with one of his Generals which was General Archenel a Crownian who is in charge of the sky platoon and it was true they had her so I had no choice but to follow … (tears roll down) I despise Herobrine too but I can't risk my sister's life but what can I do?

Xander: I see that sounds interesting …

Case: Also I find Snowy as a cute girl … (blushes) and that I like it when her hair sways in the air!

Cupa: Sounds way more interesting now! *giggle*

Snowy: (blushes) Motor! When will this potion wear off?

Motor: Hmm? In about a minute.

Xander: Well at least we now know what's his problem and now we can help him.

Case: Really?!

Xander: Of course! You really are not a bad guy and what you want was the freedom of your sister, right?

Case: (tears drop) Thank you … really!

Xander: No sweat as long as you don't try to kill me again …

Case: But first can you untie me first?

Snowy: Oh! Sure… wait a sec. (cuts rope)

Case: (stretches) Ahh … That feels better.

Stella: So now what are we going to do?

Motor: We of course break his sister out.

Andr: But where exactly is the place?

Case: It's at the top of Mt. Flare.

Cupa: Mt. Flare! But that's one of the steepest mountains around also it's a volcano, how are we gonna get up there?

Xander: Erhem! Zekstorm!

Cupa: Oh! … I forgot about him.

Motor: If were gonna save your little sister then we need is a plan!

Chrome: So do you have one?

Motor: Yes! A full proof one already… so listen up and here's what were gonna do.

Narrator's Perspective:

So as Motor explains the plan for their attack everyone gets ready and heads out at midnight as they approach the side of the mountain they carefully put their plan into motion …
