Menaces of Minecraft Chapter 6: 5: Fall of CubeCity, a minecraft fanfic

Hey, guys! Ninjamaster here. I know it has been a LONG time since I have updated, but that is mostly because of major schoolwork issues and because my dad recently cut back our time on how long we can be on the computers... I can only get on from 6 California time to 10 California time. It really sucks... but oh well. This is a longer of a chapter, so I hope you guys like it still!

Oh, and just to let you guys know, I might be starting my YouTube channel soon! I'm going to get a free recording program on Monday, and if my friend will let me borrow his headphone microphone headset, I can start recording next week! Anyways, here is the next chapter!

Deadlox's POV-

When the earthquake hit, I became worried. We never had earthquakes in CubeCity. This city was built in an area where it should have been earthquake impervious. Now, volcano impervious, that is another story. But when the aftershock came, that was when the real damage was done. As I felt the ground shaking, I saw the roof cracking and falling from the shifted crust below us. Then, the building collapsed on itself. It all came tumbling down together on top of us. I saw Bodil throw himself over Pixel, as she was the only girl here, and then they were buried beneath the wood that was broken from above them. Bashur and Tyler were next. Both yelped in surprise when this happened, although their cries were cut off from the INN collapsing on top of them. In slow motion, I watched as a beam above us came tumbling down onto Alix and TrueMU. Alix went down quickly, being knocked out from the rough fall to the ground and the heavy beam that landed on top of him. TrueMU, on the other hand, tried to fly his way out of the INN, but was caught by falling building pieces and was therefore trapped like everyone else. Mere milliseconds later, the second and third floor of Bashur's INN fell on top of me and Husky. I didn't realize that it had come down on me until I felt a sharp pain emanate from my leg and I couldn't move at all. I was the only one conscious through this all, as I found out later.

The aftershock lasted a lot longer than the earthquake did. It seemed to be four hours later when the shaking stopped, although it was only four minutes later. I groaned in pain, feeling my head throb from being slightly crushed and feeling my leg as it screamed in pain. Grabbing carefully onto my leg, as almost every single part of my body was cut open and injured; I then tried to pull it out from under the limb that was trapped on top of me. I screamed, throwing my face up to the sky and biting hard on my lip. I couldn't budge it. A pain much worse than being tortured then entered my body, ripping at every sore tendon in my body and causing me grief. I gave up soon afterwards, and then I began to cry. Real men don't cry, but obviously, I'm not a real man. I was terrified, and shocked at what had happened to me and my best friends. My body shook as the wet, salty tears slipped down my cheeks, being absorbed into the cuts and scrapes on my face and making my face sting. But I couldn't do anything about it. I was stuck there in that place, and most likely, my friends were dead from the crushing weight on their bodies. I sobbed for a while, and then, I lifted my face back up to the sky. The clouds covered the normally blue sky, turning it into an evil black color. Rain poured down in sheets around us, which only made the situation worse. Finally, after a while, I began to croak out, "Help! Someone, please, help me!"

I continued with this for a while, unable to move and unable to raise my voice above what it already was at. When my voice vanished completely and I was unable to talk anymore, I lowered my head in defeat. I was going to be there, and I was possibly going to die under the ruins of Bashur's INN. What a wonderful place to die.

All of a sudden, in the distance, I heard a faint voice. Lifting my head up slightly, I then tried to search for the owner of the voice. I knew it was a voice, it had to be. Soon, I could hear it again, but this time, it was closer. Moments later, I saw three figures appear out of the thick rain. I sobbed in relief, staring at my three best friends Jerome, Bajan and Sierra. Jerome scanned the ruins of Bashur's INN, terror clearly imprinted on his face. But then, he laid eyes on me. He probably only saw me because of my broken, sparking headphones that were lying beside me, which was a complete giveaway. "Oh, my Notch, Deadlox!" Mitch then yelled, also seeing me. The three of them rushed up to me, and then they barely managed to lift the beam that I was pinned under. Sierra lifted me up and carried me a couple yards away from the ruins (using her robot strength, I presumed), and rested me under a tree.

"Oh, my Notch, Deadlox, what happened here?" Sierra then asked, worry filling her eyes as she then examined my broken leg. It was completely bent backwards, and every time I moved even my toes in my left leg, it sent a shock right through my leg. It was not a lovely experience at all.

I went to open my mouth, but because I had been crying for help as long as I did, my voice was completely gone. Sierra understood, though, and then she took out two sticks and a bandage. "Now, this is going to hurt, Ty. Just… just warning you right now," She then said grabbing hold onto my calf. I gripped onto the grass around me, and then I nodded towards her. Right then, she twisted my leg completely around, getting it back in the same position that it was in before. But in doing so, I screamed in pain, although it was completely silent. My leg hurt so bad that burning it in lava would be better than the pain I was going through right then. "Sorry, but I had to do it…" Sierra apologized, and then she began to splint it in place. Taking the bandages that she had, she used the first one to hold the top of the sticks together, and then she used the other to hold the lower section of the sticks together. She then began to apply healing salves to my face, and it began to heal the cuts and bruises on my face. Once she was done, she stood up, and then she looked over to the ruins of Bashur's INN.

"We felt that earthquake and aftershock. We were traveling to Mitch's house when it happened. The city… it took a lot of damage, but it is still standing. Some of the buildings are completely gone, and with how severe the storm is, the streets are flooded and people have to ride in boats if they want to get anywhere. When that happened, we knew we had to find and locate our friends. We didn't want anybody dying on us anytime soon. This was the first place we went to check on. Good thing we came when we did, because most or all of you would be dead by the time we found you." Sierra stood by me, facing the ruins and watching as Jerome and Mitch, together, got everyone else out from the ruins. One by one, my friends came out from the rubble, all of them completely unconscious. They even found the David guy, who was still in the "hospital" room, which was buried under the other floors as well. He had a large gash in his head, and Mitch already predicted that he would have memory loss and possible brain damage. Finally, when they were all out, Mitch and Jerome collapsed on the ground, exhausted from having to lift so many beams and chunks of wood to unbury the others.

Gulping in, I then looked up to Sierra, and then I asked, "H-how… are… the… others? Are… they… alive?"

Sierra, looking depressed and exhausted, then wiped off her hands on a wet towel to clean off the blood from some of our wounds. The only person that didn't have lethal injuries done to them was Bashur, but that was because he is a watermelon. They don't have blood, and they didn't have bones either. But Bashur was unconscious on the ground, looking a little flatter than normal. "Everyone is alive, but just. You and Bodil are the worst out of everyone, you having sustained the broken leg and Bodil having broken a couple ribs and… having lost his foot."

My eyes widened in shock when I heard that. Bodil lost his foot? How? As if reading my mind, Jerome then walked up to us, and then he answered, "When we found him and Pixel, he had managed to protect Pixel so that she only sustained cuts and bruises, but as a price, he lost his foot. It was smashed under an anvil, and Mitch had to cut it off because it wouldn't have been able to be fixed."

Nodding, I then winced once the pain shot through my leg once again. Luckily, though, Sierra had a bunch of healing potions on her, and with gulping one down, the pain was subdued tremendously. I pulled myself up, although Mitch and Jerome pushed me down once again. "You need to sit down and rest, Deadlox. We don't want you to be like Sky," Jerome then said, helping me rest my leg on a backpack that was soaked all the way through.

"No, we can't afford it, Fluffy. You guys need to go and find the others. They may be in worse circumstances than we are in, and since I'm the only one conscious, I need to make sure that they stay alive while you help the others," I barely said, pushing myself painfully up. My whole leg screamed with pain, although I did my best to survive through it. I grabbed my enchanted diamond sword and used it as a crutch, supporting my weight against it. My three friends looked worried for me, but after telling them once again that I could handle the others, they reluctantly got up to find the others elsewhere in or around the city. Sierra left a couple dozen or so healing potions and other healing supplies with me, though, so I could heal the others when they came conscious. Then, the three of them disappeared almost as fast as they appeared here through the thick curtains of rain.

Exhaling, I then hobbled over to my friend's sides, and I sat myself down on one of the rocks by them. I would have to patiently wait for them to come conscious… if they ever do again.

Sky's POV-

Shortly after Dawn left was when the warning came on the TV. I was still staring out the window when I heard it come on. Turning my head slightly, I then studied the screen in which the severe storm warning had appeared on the TV live. A young, bright woman was on the screen, although she appeared too young to be doing that sort of thing. She had short, pastel pink hair, grassy green eyes, and light skin. She wore a business suit, although it looked a little baggy on her. If I had to guess how old she was, she would have to be around 14 to 15 years old. She was extremely young to be doing that sort of thing.

"Breaking news. A huge storm is heading on its way to CubeCity, and it is the biggest it has ever been. It is a category 5 hurricane, so beware of this storm, which has been called Hurricane Lesley. Stay in your homes. Do not go out into the open, where the storm can get to you. The safest place to be is in the Block Towers, which was created to withstand every storm known to Minecraftia. If you are on the streets, head to the Block Towers. That is your safest bet. This is Kina Richards, back to you in the studio," The girl then said, and then, the screen turned off.

I began to worry. Dawn wasn't back yet, and I couldn't go out and warn the others and still keep safe inside. My friends were going to be in danger of getting hit by the storm. Pushing myself up right then, I walked outside of the house, despite the constant reminders from Dawn to not do that for my own safety. I ran outside, and immediately looked up to the sky. It was becoming black, the clouds covering it quickly and the winds picking up tremendously. The storm was already here.

Walking towards the city, I then pushed against the wind, feeling it try to push me back in response. I had to find Dawn and the others. Even if I was injured, I still was the leader of Team Crafted, and I couldn't allow my best and closest friends to die in the oncoming storm. My jaw stung painfully as the winds pulled on the stitches, but I continued pressing onwards. The rain all around me created an impenetrable veil that shielded my view, although that did not stop me. Nothing could stop me from getting to my family and friends.

About five minutes later, I was still walking, pushing my way through the powerful wind. Finally, I reached my friend CaptainSparklez's home, which looked like a wonderful sight to me. I ran to his door steps, and quickly knocked on his door. Moments later, the door swung open, and then I was pulled into his house. The next thing I knew, I had an enchanted diamond sword to my throat.

"What the Nether? What are you doing here, Sky?" Sparklez asked, lowering his sword once he realized that I was not a Squid. I was going to answer, but right then, a high pitched squeal went out from Sparklez's kitchen. A moment later, a flurry of purple and pink hair came rushing towards me, and then I was tackled with a hug.

"Sky, thank Notch you are alright!" Dawn then cried out, kissing me quickly afterwards. Once she released me, she looked up to me, and then she gasped. "Sky, your stitches!"

I put a hand to my jaw, and pulled it back to see blood coating my hand. I didn't realize that the wind had pulled out my stitches slightly, and I was bleeding heavily. My shirt was covered with it, which I was still confused why I hadn't realized that before.

Sparklez quickly took me into his kitchen, which was where Dawn was before she ran up to me. Sitting me down, Captain then ran around, gathering supplies he would need to repair the stitches and stop the bleeding. While he was doing that, though, I explained to Dawn what I was doing outside of the house in the first place.

"After you left, I was just staring out the window like before, when all of a sudden the TV turned on with a Hurricane warning. The girl on the TV said that if you were in your houses, stay in them. But, if they were on the streets, they were to take cover in the Block Towers. Knowing my friends, I knew that they were not going to be in their houses, and they were not going to hear the warning. I had to go and save them, even if it wasn't going to help me very well. So, I got out of the house, and began to walk towards the city. Hurricane Lesley was already beginning to hit CubeCity, because the winds picked up quickly, the sky turned black from the clouds, and it was raining cats and dogs."

"I'm just glad you came just in time before the bleeding could get any worse," Dawn then said as she caressed my hand while Sparklez prepared to fix my stitches.

"Sky, you need to be more careful," Sparklez explained to me as he then carefully inserted the stitches into my jaw. I winced as this happened, trying hard not cry out in pain. It was very tender, especially since I didn't have something to numb the pain like when they put the stitches in my jaw in the hospital. "I know you want to be the hero of CubeCity, but you can't just walk out of the house and expect to turn out OK after all the madness and heroism you do every day."

"I know, but I gotta find the rest of my friends," I told him once he paused in doing the stitches. By then my jaw was completely numb from the pain, and my words came out slurred and it almost seemed that I was drunk. But I still continued talking. "I know that they aren't going to be at their houses, as they rarely are in the first place, and I also know they won't be at Block Towers because they won't hear the warning that came on earlier."

"But Sky…" Sparklez tried to stop me, but I turned to him and even with my sunglasses on, I knew that he could see the determination that I had.

"Listen, as much as my jaw hurts right now, I put that aside and focused on the real reason why I stepped out of the house… and that's to find and rescue my friends, no matter what the cost will be. Even if I break my jaw again, I will still push on to save the ones I care about," I said to him. Sparklez seemed a bit shocked by what I just said, but he reluctantly accepted.

"Alright, Sky, if you care that much about all of us, at the cost of injury, then I'll respect that about you," Sparklez replied once he returned to finishing the stitches. After he said that, he repaired the last stitch around my jaw and pulled his blood-stained hands away. "Done; the stitches should be more durable against the rough weather now," He explained quickly. I grabbed a nearby towel and carefully started wiping the blood away from my jaw line, cleaning around the stitches to the other side. Dawn ended up assisting me in this, as I could not get everything. After most of the blood was off, I looked at the towel and saw that nearly all of it was covered in my blood. Breathing in, I then placed it down and slowly got up from my seat. All of a sudden, my head started spinning and I got really dizzy, my vision becoming slightly blurry. I stumbled back on one foot, but Dawn was there and she grasped my hand to prevent me from falling backwards.

"Are you OK, Sky?" Dawn worriedly asked me. I shook my head slightly as my vision returned to normal and the dizziness went away.

"I'm fine, Dawn," I reassured her. "I just… got a little light-headed from losing that much blood. Come on; you, Sparklez and I need to go and find the others. I have a feeling that something bad is gonna happen to them…"

Derpious' POV-

Derp backed away quickly from Herobrine, fright laced in his face. Herobrine smiled evilly at us, grasping his sword in hand. His evil white eyes linked with mine, and I froze in place. His eyes, much like in the legends, were endless, white voids. But small flames of anger and evil burnt in his expression, both in his eyes and his face.

"What do you Squids want? You have trespassed into my dimension without my permission, and you will have to suffer the consequences," Herobrine hissed, then taking a dagger and throwing it towards me and Derpy. Derpy yelped in fright as the dagger then hit the ground only an inch away from his tentacles, slithering backwards. Herobrine lifted his head backwards, chuckling in amusement.

I stepped forward, fright flooding through my systems. "We are here to talk with you, on order of Derpollolus," I started, squeaking out that simple sentence. Herobrine looked over to me, a serious expression on his face. Personally, he didn't look happy. I gulped, and then I continued on with what I started saying. "Derpollolus wants to get revenge on Sky Fisher, our wretched enemy, but we cannot do it by ourselves. Sky is strong, and we require the assistance in getting his amulet. If we get that precious gem, then we will have control over the city and be able to not worry about the possibility of all of us turning into calamari."

Herobrine laughed an evil laugh that echoed all around the Nether fortress we were in. "And why should I help you? You Squids are idiots; you guys can't even manage to get one simple task accomplished. What would I get out of it? According to what you have told me, when you get the amulet after I have helped you, you Squids will take over to Overworld and I would get nothing in return. Why should I help you?"

Derp pushed himself up, shaking still from being only inches from Herobrine himself. "You would rule CubeCity and the rest of the Overworld alongside Derpollolus," He said. Immediately, Derpy and I whipped our heads over to Derp. That wasn't a part of the plan, we were just supposed to convince Herobrine to join us, not promise him something that Derpollolus would not be willing to give him.

Herobrine rubbed his chin in thought, and then he smiled wickedly. "Fine, you twisted me. I will assist you in your plan of destroying Sky and everything that he loves." Derp and Derpy smiled, but I frowned slightly. This was going to backfire on us horribly… I already knew it.

The King of the Nether flicked his hand slightly, which summoned one of his Zombie Pigman guards. "Get the troops ready. You will leave as soon as possible to the Overworld. You already know what to do from there on," Herobrine said. The Zombie Pigman grunted, and then it ran off, disappearing from the main throne room of the Nether Fortress.

Derpy exhaled. "Whew, we thought it was going to harder to get you to join our forces than this. Wow!" He then yelled. He immediately shut up when Herobrine turned his attention on him. After a moment, Herobrine walked to his throne, and sat back down. But a small smile stayed planted to his lips. I shivered. He wasn't to be trusted… something was wrong. That was way too easy. There had to be a catch…

"Tell your leader to prepare his troops for attacking CubeCity again. I have already caused major storms to rage in the Overworld, which will cause chaos to ensue. Sky will not be prepared for this attack at all," Herobrine then said, his white eyes scanning us. Derp and Derpy nodded, and then I followed my brothers out of the Nether Fortress. But I couldn't shake the feeling that we had just gotten ourselves into a lot of trouble… What were we in for now? What was Herobrine going to do to us if we failed to get the amulet and fulfill Derp's promise? I shuddered at the thought. It was almost as bad as imagining Sky killing us… that wasn't a good thought. But I still felt uneasy. What was going to happen?

Bajan's POV-

You stand at the edge of the city you live in, watching it in sadness as the final buildings collapse into piles of rubble. Ash falls in soft blankets of rain around you, mixing with the already-pouring storm that surrounds you and your friends. You can hear the roars of the Ghasts and the Blazes all around you as they finish destroying the city that you have grown to love and cherish. Faintly you can hear the cries of your friends telling you to run, but you can't do it. You sink to the earth, lowering your head to the ground in defeat. You were a hero at first, saving your friends from being crushed by the collapsing buildings. Now there was nothing left to save. I had failed everyone.

Only a few hours earlier, I was the hero, saving my friends with my best friends Jerome and Sierra. We saved Deadlox, Bashur, Bodil, TrueMU, Quentin, Tyler and Pixel from Bashur's INN that had collapsed in the earthquake; we rescued GoldSolace, Logdotzip and Ssundee from being crushed by the giant donut in front of the donut shop in the city, and slowly, we found the rest of our friends as well. We were true heroes right then, and it made me feel amazing.

"Mitch, is everyone out of here?!" I heard Jerome yell from the next room over. I had gone deeper into the burning building, covering my mouth with my arm so as to not inhale the smoke. I swept my eyes over the room, and quickly ran back to the room that Sierra and Jerome were in.

"Yeah, that's everyone! Now let's get out of here before we get crushed as well!" I then yelled, carefully slinging the unconscious body of xRpMx13 over my shoulder. Jerome quickly grabbed Kermit and Gizzy, while Sierra picked up Wolf and Spade. We ran out of the building, trying to go as quickly as we could. I could hear the cracking timbers above our heads as they began to give away, and soon, I could hear the building starting to fall apart behind us. Luckily, we jumped out of the building just in time before the whole structure buckled under the weight and came tumbling to the ground.

I coughed, trying to clear the smoke from around my face. I looked back to the building, and saw the thick smoke as it quickly mixed with the pouring rain. I pushed myself up, and then I looked over to my friends. Ryan, Wolf and Spade were still unconscious, while Kermit and Gizzy were slowly waking up. They grasped their heads in pain, and Kermit could not see us, as a large wound in his head was flowing blood in front of his eyes. He could not see at all. Sierra and Jerome were covered in dirt and soot, and they looked absolutely horrible. Yet they looked like heroes to me.

"Is everyone OK?" I quickly asked, looking to them. Sierra ran up to Ryan and Wolf, while Jerome went to Spade. After a moment, Sierra looked up to me.

"Barely. Ryan took a major blow to the head, and he may end up having memory loss issues later. Wolf looks pretty healthy on the other hand," Sierra answered, then standing up. We had taken cover under a fallen piece of building, which was propped up against the building that it had fallen against. It was a good piece of shelter from the rain, which helped us a lot. Dealing with wounds in the rain is not a very good idea.

Looking over to Jerome and Spade, I then saw that Spade was groaning, coming slightly conscious. She held a hand to her head, and then she winced in pain. Jerome grasped her shoulder, and then he said, "Shh, everything is fine, Spade. Just calm down; you are injured, and you don't want to make it any worse than it already is."

"Wh-where is… everyone else? Ryan, Kermit, Gizzy, Wolf…?" Spade croaked, her throat destroyed from the smoke that entered her body.

Sierra knelt down next to her, switching Jerome places while Jerome went over to check on Gizzy and Ryan. "They are fine, Spade. You don't have to worry about anything. Just rest and we will make sure that they will recover perfectly," Sierra assured, and then Spade rested her head back against the ground, quickly falling unconscious once more.

I exhaled, and then I looked outside of our little alcove. The storm was pouring outside, and I could hear the mobs as they freely walked the streets. They were not affected by the raging storm, and they seemed to patrol the roads as if they were us Minecraftians. Every step that I heard made me even more uneasy than before. All of a sudden, I heard several pairs of footsteps as they ran by our area. I threw a finger over my mouth, which silenced my friends completely. I held my breath as the footsteps came closer, but as I listened to them closer, I realized that there were many footsteps along with the original ones. They also were a lot faster than any of the other mobs could run. The only mob that could run that fast was the Zombie Pigman… but those were in the Nether. What could they be then?

Jerome pulled out Betty, and Sierra quickly pulled out her diamond sword. I stanced myself by our injured friends, and the two of them went to the edge of the alcove that we were in. Jerome looked to Sierra, and then he held up one finger. Two fingers. Finally, he held up a third, and the two of them jumped into the rain, their weapons held to fight.

I was scared for my friends. I was especially scared when all I heard after they jumped was silence. All of a sudden, I heard Sierra cry out, "Sky!"

Pushing myself up, I then ran to see what Sierra was talking about. As I then felt the rain drenching me once more, I quickly saw every single one of my friends standing before me, including the ones that we had saved and put into a safer position to help the others. A few of them, like Bodil, Deadlox and CavemanFilms, were supporting themselves on makeshift crutches that they had with them at that moment. Deadlox had with him his enchanted diamond sword as his crutch, Bodil was using a giant branch that was thick and sturdy, and Caveman was using a rather large version of his club as a crutch. All my other friends there were in decent condition, the worst injuries being cuts and bruises. Sky was at the front, looking completely worn out. He must have gone a long way out in the rain, and I really didn't like the thought of him being out here injured where he could easily get hurt.

"Sky, what are you doing out here in the rain?" Sierra asked, putting her sword away. Sky brushed his hair out his eyes, and then he sighed slightly.

"I… I couldn't stand the fact to let my friends be all alone out here with this storm raging on. I had to do something, even if it meant that I had to have some injuries done to me. But, now that I have come out here, it seems like you guys have gotten it taken care of," Sky then said, wincing slightly in pain. I looked to his jaw line, and saw that his stitches were slightly bloodied. The stitches were new… someone must have replaced the stitches recently.

I quickly grabbed onto his arm, and then I led him under the alcove that we were just barely under. "You are an idiot, Sky. You know that you could have gotten injured because of your stupidity in staying out here!" I cried out, then wrapping my jacket around Sky's shoulder. He was shivering violently, although he pushed off my jacket when I put it on him.

Sky stood up, and turned to me. "I don't care, Mitch. I may be an idiot, but I'm not going to watch all of my friends being hurt and killed by this storm. That's final."

Opening my mouth, I began to counter, when I felt a hand get placed on my shoulder. Looking over, I then spotted Jerome, who I barely recognized under the wet fur that covered his face completely. He shook his head, telling me that I shouldn't question what Sky was doing. I shut my mouth immediately.

All of a sudden, I huge tremor shook the ground. All of my friends stumbled around, most of them falling over. "What the balls?!" Bashur cried out, then looking around. I exchanged a quick look with Sky, and then we ran out into the open. I skidded to a halt when I saw what was happening. My jaw fell down to the ground.

"We're screwed," Jen squeaked.

A huge, purple opening had opened in the sky, and out of it poured thousands upon thousands of Nether mobs. The streets immediately began to swarm with Squids as well. The Ghasts began to blast at all of the buildings, the Blazes shooting their fireballs at random mobs that were still on the streets. They also shot at citizens that were out on the streets as well. I covered my ears when I heard the Ghasts' screams, and then once it subsided, I looked up to the Block Towers, the largest buildings in the city. "No!" I screamed, then breaking into a run towards the towers. Sky was right behind me, his enchanted chicken nugget budder sword in hand. We sliced at the Squids that were running for us, desperately running right for the towers.

Right then, a Ghast blast flew right for the building. Everything seemed to slow down to slow motion. I pumped myself faster, running with fright towards the towers. The giant ball of fire came closer to the two buildings, and hope seemed to fall to the ground. I wasn't going to get there in time. All of a sudden, I felt a pair of hands grab onto my back. I fell backwards, and Sky fell to the ground, covering his head with his arms. The fire ball hit home, and the one Block Tower exploded. I looked up to the building through the pouring storm, seeing the building beginning to crumble. I heard screams of terror erupting from the tower, belonging to victims of the blast. Whipping my head around, I then stared right at Sierra. Thick tears were streaming down her face, and she shook her head. "You couldn't do anything, Bajan. They were doomed right from the start," She then said, pushing her body up and pulling me up with her. She grasped onto my hand, and then she said, "Come on, we have to get out of the city. We can't stay here, Mitch. We… we just can't."

Everything from that point on was a blur to me. I know that my friends that were able to fight were pushing their way through the oncoming army of Squids, killing everything within reach. Sky and I were in the middle, not attacking anything at all. Sierra could have been fighting, but she was right beside me, comforting me. I didn't hear her though. Many minutes later, we had climbed over the crater that separated the city from the outside world, and made it to the outside limits of the city. By then, most or all of the Squids were dead, the rest of them being in the city terrorizing the rest of the city. I turned around, staring at the two towers that were blasted by the Ghasts and Blazes. They crumbled to the ground, creating a thick layer of smoke to emerge from the city. I began to sob. Everything that I loved and cherished… was gone. It was taken from right before me.

Jerome then appeared right beside me. "Biggums, come on, we need to go! We can't stay here!" He cried out as he roughly pulled me up. I brushed my hair out of my face, staring at the city. It was almost completely gone. Nothing would be left of the city once the mobs take care of the remaining citizens and the buildings. Would we ever be able to return to the city?

I ran alongside my friends, watching as all of them ran as fast and as far as they possibly could. We could not stay by the city. We were putting everyone in danger by doing that. We were the last hope that the city had. After a couple hours of running, we finally stopped, running for so long that now our legs were completely exhausted. My legs, about half an hour ago, finally gave up, becoming basically machines. They pushed on without me. I could not stop them no matter what I did.

Sky gathered all of us together, looking at each of us carefully. We had stopped in the jungle trees, finding a good place to rest and a place where we would be protected from the mobs. My friend sighed. "Guys, a lot has happened today. The city was destroyed before us, many of us broke or lost limbs, and we have gone through a lot of terror and sadness. But we cannot stop. We need assistance in defeating Herobrine and the Squids. Just with the couple dozen of us, we won't be able to stop them."

"No shoot, Sherlock," Logdotzip then shot, looking over to Sky.

My friend sighed once more. "We will need personal assistance with a being that is the only person even capable to defeat Herobrine and the Squids," He said. Everyone looked up to him, confused looks on half of our faces.

"There is nobody that can help us, Sky. We are the only ones left in the city. All the other cities in the world probably were affected like we were. Nobody can help us now. We are on our own," GoldSolace then said.

Jen shook her head. "That's not entirely true," She quietly said. Everyone turned their attention to her. She looked exhausted, but she still had hope in her. I smiled at this. She still believed that everything was going to be alright. "There is… Notch."

"How in the Nether are we going to ask him for assistance? He watched our city dissolve into nothing, and he did zip to help us! And it's not like we can just march up to a mountain and ask him for help," Noah said, glaring over at Jen. I didn't blame him. I was feeling the same. Notch had watched all of this happen and he didn't do anything to help us. He didn't even try to stop his brother from sending his minions to destroy us. I was beginning to lose faith in him. Where was he when we needed him the most?

"We will need to be patient, first of all," Dawn then said. That got everyone to stop talking. Dawn walked up to Sky, and then she grasped onto his hand. "We will have to search for ways that we can call him, and get his help to protect our city. It won't be easy, and that much I can promise you right now. But we will have to do it to even be able to have a chance against Herobrine and the Squids. They want something, something so vital to them that they had to destroy the city to get to it. We will have to be on our guard while we search for the items needed to contact Notch. If we succeed in doing this, we will be able to return to the city and we won't have to worry about Herobrine slaughtering us. I have a friend that could help us find some ways to summon Notch to us, but it will be hard to get to him."

Sky nodded. "Exactly, what I was trying to tell you guys but you guys were too busy arguing to listen to me. Thank you, Dawn, for explaining that." Dawn nodded, and then she sat down beside her boyfriend. "Look, guys, I know you are all strong people, and I know that you all will stay by my side as we make this perilous journey. But we have to have faith that this can succeed. Those who are not willing to risk their lives for the safety of our city and the rest of the world, you guys can leave. But if you stay, I know that you guys will follow me as we go on this dangerous journey to save the world." Sky looked around, but nobody stood up. My friend smiled.

"OK, then. Guys, it is time to save the world. But first, we have to find my friend that knows how to summon Notch; AntVenom."

Ninja- There's the chapter! And I wanted to let you guys know that from this chapter on I will start doing a thing like the Awesomer's Easter Egg hunt she is doing. I will put quotes into this story from some videos done by SkyDoesMinecraft, ASFJerome, BajanCanadian, SSundee, and MunchingBrotato. If you find them all, then I will give you guys a prize! Technically not a real prize, but one that I can let you guys get on this website! Like what my real name is, the chance to record a video with me when I start recording videos, other stuff like that! The next chapter will start with that!

Jen- Yeah, and while we are on the subject (not really though) check out my story that I am working on, Sky Legends! Even Ninja thinks it is an amazing story. You guys should go check it out!

Ninja- Anyways, I will see you recruits later! Take care.
