Ninja: Hey throwing stars! Sorry that it took so long to get up... I have been having school issues where I can barely get on the computer anymore. But that point aside. I would like to give credit to Jen for writing the beginning section of this chapter... she did an amazing job if I may say :)

Jen: Anyways, here is the chapter that you guys have been waiting on. Here is Chapter 3: Hospital and Evil Discussions 0.0

Sierra's POV-

I still couldn't believe that Sky had gotten hurt. Even after the paramedics had arrived, I still couldn't think straight. I looked on in pure worry and fear as the pair of medics loaded Sky onto a gurney and hauled him into the ambulance. Dawn was the most concerned out of all of us, so she was able to gain permission from one of them to go with Sky to the hospital, since they only allowed one person to come with them. But right before the medic in the back shut the door, Dawn stuck her head out.

"Guys, I'm going with Sky to the hospital. Hurry as soon as you can!" Dawn shouted at us. Then, the medic closed the door shut. The sirens on the vehicle started blaring and flashing red and white lights. Several of the guys covered their ears as the emergency vehicle took off towards the streets. As soon as it vanished out of sight, we all began to make our way towards the CubeCity Central Hospital. As we were running, so many thoughts were racing through my mind right then. Is Sky OK? Will this injury change him forever? Will he… die from it?

No! He can't die! I mentally shouted at myself. I knew Sky was going to be OK. But another thing still bothered me. Why were the Squids after him? Was there something that he had that they wanted from him? I didn't know, but all I know now is that we have to get to the hospital as soon as possible.

Deadlox's POV-

It took us nearly half an hour for all of us to arrive at the hospital where they had transported Sky to. The sun was already at mid-day. It was hard to believe that just last night we were battling against the Squids, and this morning was when we had defeated them. I should have been physically exhausted from lack of sleep. Instead, adrenaline pumped through my veins. I guess it was mainly the worry for Sky which kept us awake and aware of our surroundings. We rushed through the hospital doors, Jerome nearly tripping on the metal railing beneath the doors as he dashed through. I looked over to see if everyone was here. However, Bashur wasn't there. I glanced over towards the doors as the melon appears on the sidewalk, obviously out of breath. The doors were still open when he ran through. But right at the last second, the doors closed shut and trapped Bashur at the entrance by his shirt.

"Ah! Dang it!" He shouted. Bashur turned and began to tug at his shirt to free it. He grunts as he pulls it, sliding his feet across the floor. Suddenly, the doors swing open, freeing the melon and sending him tumbling backwards. He yelped as he crashed into Ssundee and the duo landed on the floor. Me, Jerome and several of the others looked awkwardly towards them as they tried to get up, but end up in a very weird position. Bashur holds himself in the air using his arms while Ssundee is pinned underneath the melon man on the floor. Then, Bashur really makes things awkward.

"Hey, did anyone say that you have such beautiful shades?" He asked. Ssundee gets visibly annoyed by the melon man and pushes him off.

"Get off of me!" Ian angrily cried out. He gets to his feet and wipes away at his shirt as Bashur gets to his feet. Then, we resumed running through the medical center. We reached a couple of double doors with the words 'Emergency Entrance'. We tried to go through, but a nurse was there to stop us from going in.

"Please, let us through," I explained to her. "We want to know if Sky is OK!"

"I'm sorry, everyone," The nurse replied. "But I can't let you all through here. However, I will tell you that your friend is in the Intensive Care Unit right now, along with his girlfriend. Our doctors are doing everything they can to help him. I'll let you know what his condition is later. For now, you all might as well wait here for the results."

The nurse steps back and shuts the doors, locking them from the other side. Everyone lets out exhausted and frustrated sighs, knowing that we're going to be here for a while. Some of us sat down on some chairs near the door while some of the others pace up and down the hallway. The time seemed to pass slowly, every hour feeling like forever. CaptainSparklez and Ryan left to go pick us up some food, as we hadn't eaten since the day before. Once they returned, they handed out the food to each one of us, and then we all fell silent once more. Jerome and Bajan sat with worried looks while Bodil just leaned against the wall, his head hanging over and his expression hidden away by his sunglasses. I sighed deeply as I brushed my bangs out of my eyes. I glanced over my shoulder and I quickly see Seto and Jen sitting together. Jen looked… almost terrified and traumatized… as if something scared her deeply. Her brown eyes glimmered with fright as she tried to calm down. She grasps the armrests on the chair tightly, her knuckles turning white from holding it there for so long. Seto looked over and placed his hand over her hand to comfort her. Jen looked at him with a faint smile. I couldn't help but think that there was something going on with him and Jen, but I couldn't figure out what it was. I just shook it off and lay back in my seat, resting my eyes and muscles after today's events.

The day passed into the night. I opened my eyes and looked around. Everyone had pretty much fallen asleep. I glanced over at a nearby window and saw the night sky outside, the stars glittering in the dark sky while the block moon shone its white, radiant light. Suddenly, I heard a door being unlocked. I quickly gazed over and see the same nurse standing in the doorway. The sudden creak of the door is enough to awaken everyone from their slumber. Immediately, I ran from my chair and up to her.

"Is Sky OK?" I asked her.

The nurse took a deep breath in before talking. "Sky is OK," She answered. "It took the doctors and I forever, but we were able to reattach Sky's bottom jaw back in place. His jaw was completely broken off. It was just hanging on by muscles and tendons. He'll have to be bed-ridden for a while until he fully recovers, but even with healing potions, he won't be able to leave his house. I'm sorry this happened to your friend."

Everyone looks down, dreading to hear this type of news. No one talked for a while, so I decided to speak up and break the silence.

"Can we see him?" I desperately asked, wanting to see my friend.

"Of course. He's resting right now, but I think he can see his friends," She replied.

The nurse stepped aside. The others began to pass through the double doors, Sierra being the first to run through. We entered a hallway, where the first door to the right was slightly cracked open. Sierra placed her hand on the knob and slowly opened it up. Inside, we immediately saw Dawn sitting beside the hospital bed, tears endlessly streaming down her face. On the bed, we saw Sky. A line of red stitches ran under his bottom jaw and ended on the other side of his head. A few bandages marked the way. We all entered the room and crowed around the bed. Dawn looked up at us.

"Is Sky gonna be OK, Dawn?" Sierra asked her.

Dawn let out a sobbing sigh as she wiped away her tears. "He's gonna be fine, but it's gonna take him forever to heal from this injury. In the morning, I'm gonna take him home so that he can get some rest. You all have had a long day. I think you all should go home. I'll take care of Sky from here on."

Everyone seemed reluctant to leave, but exhaustion and pain from injuries on them had left them drained of all their energy. Slowly, everyone begins to leave. Some wave goodbye to Sky while some tell him to get better soon. Sierra and I were the last ones left in the room. I walked up to Sky.

"See you later, buddy," I said to him. Sky slowly turns his head and looks up at me. He slightly nods at me. I turned around and made my way for the door. Before leaving, I looked over my shoulder and saw Sierra walking up to Sky, kneeling beside him a moment later. She looked at him with sorrow-filled eyes, trying not to burst into tears.

"I'll miss you, Sky. P-please… be careful and… be safe," She tearfully said to him.

Then, Sky did something that I thought he couldn't do because of his injury. He speaks to her in a very faint, crackled voice.

"Be… safe… too…" Is all I could make out from his mouth. Sierra let out a sob as she embraced him, Dawn looking in the back, her eyes choked up with salty tears. I stared at the Minecrafters for a few minutes in silence, the two of them never once releasing one another. Then, slowly, I turned back around and padded away. I exited the hallway and began to make my way through the double doors. I was sad and angry at the same time. Sad, because one of my friends was badly hurt and angry, because those Squids had, once again, showed their faces here after the countless number of times they have been defeated by Sky. But this time felt different. Those Squids only wanted Sky instead of all of us in that battle. What did they want with him? What did they want from him? These two questions were all that I had in my mind right then as I continued to walk through the dark. All that I knew now was that those Squids were gonna pay big time for hurting my friend. No matter how long it will take, I will get vengeance for Sky and I knew the others would follow me as well.

Derpollolus' POV-

"You WHAT!?" I screamed, staring down at my three Guardian Squids. They cowered slightly, covering their faces with their tentacles. Whipping my large arm towards them, I felt it slam against their small bodies, and they flew through the air, slamming against the far wall with a delightful crack. I slithered up to them, and glared down to them. Even though they were my Guardian Squids, and I trusted them with all of my power for the army, I could get mad at them when they didn't succeed in something that I assigned them to do.

"How, could, you, fail, at, getting, Sky!?" I seethed, my tentacles writhing around in anger.

Derpy managed to push himself up slightly, and then he croaked, "M-Master… we did m-manage to in-injure him though. He won't b-be able to fight for a w-while now because of the broken jaw w-we gave him."

Pinching the bridge of my nose in annoyance, I then exhaled loudly. Whatever was left of the army stood to the side, watching this go by with terror plastered to their… derpy faces. "Just injuring him will not be good enough, Derpy. We needed to get to him. And you failed me! You even failed in getting his amulet, which would have been much easier to get than Sky himself!" I cried out, kneeling down to their level, which was almost all the way down to the ground. I grabbed my three Guardian Squids by their throats with my tentacles, and held them up to my eye level.

"Please, my Lord! Give us another chance to redeem ourselves!" Derp squeaked, barely being able to get that out due to the fact that I was choking the life out of them.

"You already got your chance," I then said, throwing them harshly to the ground. They skidded across the ground, coughing roughly afterwards. I slithered out of there, heading towards the outside of the castle. Breathing deeply, I closed my red eyes, feeling the updraft from the ocean as it flowed onto the castle.

Many thoughts ran through my mind right then. Most of them being about the failed mission to take over CubeCity and to stop Sky from protecting his city. How had they failed that badly? Sure, they had caused a lot of damage to the city, but they didn't get the main thing that I had wanted them to achieve. My soldiers were trained the best they could. They weren't supposed to fail. What went wrong? Slithering to the edge of the land, I rested my tentacles and lower body into the blue water, feeling the soothing liquid wash over my body. I needed to calm down. It was not good to be ruler over all the Squids when they couldn't even do a simple task right.

I just sat there in the water, contemplating a new plan in my head. It would be very risky to do, but it was sounding better at that point than having my own minions doing the work instead.

Sliding out of the water, I then walked back inside the castle. The Squids that managed to survive the battle all seemed to keep away from me, not wanting to get on my bad side. This, in retrospect, was a very smart move. I made my way to the infirmary, which was where I knew my Guardian Squids were going to be. After a minute of making my way through the castle, I found my way to the infirmary. Ducking under the doorway, I then spotted my three Guardian Squids, which were being tended to by the medic. All of them turned their attention to me when they saw me walk in, and I could easily depict the terror in their eyes.

"Guardian Squids, I have a task to give you guys," I then said, looking down at them. The fear seemed to vanish from their eyes, and they looked at me in questioning matter. I smiled as I saw this. They were very gullible, doing whatever I wanted because they didn't want to be crushed to life by me.

"I need you to go to a fellow army and ask them for their assistance in defeating Sky." The three of them seemed to get excited, and then they pushed themselves up from where they were sitting before (as much as a Squid could sit, that is).

"Where is this place located, my Master?" Derpious asked, bowing awkwardly to me.

"This place is very hot and you will need lava-resistance potions to make it so that you guys don't burn to a crisp. Also, find some diamond pickaxes and mine out some obsidian blocks."

Derp looked confused. "Who exactly is this person that you want us to get for you?"

A moment of silence passed before I turned my back, and quickly said before exiting the room, "Herobrine."

Ninja: Oh te noes! This can't be happening! The Squids are going to try and join Heorbrine... WHY SQUIDS WHY!?

Kitty: While Ninja has a mental breakdown in the corner of the room (looks to Ninja, who is rocking back and forth on the ground), you guys will have to wait for the next chapter! Like this one, it may take us a while to get the next chapter up. If you guys have an OC you want to submit, just put it in a review :) Also, if you have already used an OC, we will try to get them in as soon as we can :)

Ninja: Also, if you guys want to ask us questions, leave them in the review as well :) We will be happy to answer them for you. I will see you throwing stars later :)
