Derp's POV-

"I hate you, Derpy, I hate you, Derpy, I hate you, Derpy!" I yelled at myself in my mind. Me and the other squids had made our way back into the squid realm and we snuck our way to where the potions are located, but we quickly saw that the doors that led into the room that they were in were guarded by two muscular and dangerous Squid Mutants. Derpious, Derpy, and I can only watch from a corner of a hallway that we were in, the walls completely made up of lapis with glowstones lighting up the halls. The mutants guarded the doors quietly, looking lazily from side to side with their crossed eyes.

"How are we supposed to sneak past them!?" Derpious whispered to me.

I took a quick look at the mutants. Then, I glanced over at him and said, "I don't know, I mean...they look pretty harmless. I bet they wouldn't hurt a fly." Then, a small fly buzzes around Derpy's face. The squid shakes the fly away using one of his tentacles. The insect flies into the corridor where the mutants are. One of the mutants gazes at the fly as it buzzes around near his feet. Without warning, the mutant violently starts smashing the floor with his elongated arms. I gasped, imagining what it would look like if it was a squid instead of a fly. The mutant abruptly stops and stands silently, as if nothing ever happened. The insect was smashed into pieces, multiple parts of its body lie across from its brutally mangled body.

"... I think I just inked myself," I heard Derpy whimper in a scared tone.

Derpious glares at him and said, "Do I need to get the diapers again?" I turned to the squids with a plan in mind.

"Okay, look. As scary and strong as they may be, the Mutant Squids are not as bright as the next thousands of squids born here. They'll attack anything that provokes them... even each other. Watch," I said. I quickly grabbed a nearby rock and aimed for the mutant on the left. I threw the rock towards the mutant. As soon as the rock strikes the mutant's head, the squid angrily turn towards the other and starts beating the other up. The mutants continue to fight each other, plowing through one of the corridor's walls into the other part of the castle. Once they are out of sight, the squids and I quickly slither across the corridor and enter the potions' room. Once we were inside, I shut the door and locked it, making sure that no one else entered while we were in here. When the locks were secured, I slithered up to Derpy and Derpious.

"Okay, now that we're in, try to find a potion that will turn us into humans," I ordered the two. Immediately, we split up and start searching through the potions on the shelves or tables. While Derpious and I were searching through some shelves, I saw as Derpy looked at individual potions and then just tossed them onto the floor, leaving colored puddles with glass shards.

I turned to him and said, "Derpy, stop making a mess! You're gonna get us caught if we leave behind a mess!"

"It's already on the floor. Why should I care?" Derpy replied back, tossing another bottle.

Derpious turn to him and said "Unless you want to be served as seafood, trying reading the labels carefully and if it's not what you think it is, just push it aside and continue searching."

Derpy then said "Okay." He turns towards the remaining potions, then grabs a yellow glowing potion. He takes a long look at the label on it. After 5 minutes passed, he gazed up at us and said, "Yeah... I can't read."

"Ugh, I forgot. He couldn't even graduate elementary. Here, let me read the bottle," I told him, slithering over to him and snatching the bottle from him.

I read the words on the label that said "Humanization Potion" in dark-blue letters. I widen my eyes in surprise. Derpy's plan was slowly falling into place.

"Squids, this is it. This is the potion needed," I said.

Derpious crawled over to me and said "Okay, but how can we be so sure if it will work?" I thought about what Derpious said. We needed to test this potion to be sure that it works. But, on who? Then, I thought of a useful test subject.

"Derpy, you be the guinea pig of this potion", I said, pushing the potion into his tentacles.

He looked confusingly at me and said, "But... I'm a squid." I rubbed my eyes in stress. When this was all over, Derpy was gonna get it in the end.

"It's a figure of speech, Derpy. We need you to test out the potion to ensure that it turns us into humans. After all, this is your plan, so therefore, you deserve to go first," I told him.

He looks down at the potion, then he looks up with a determined look and he said, "You're right. Well...here goes nothing!" He uncorks the potion and takes a quick sip of the potion. After a few quiet seconds pass, he suddenly freezes up, the potion grasped tightly in one of his tentacles.

"Derpy? What's wrong?" I asked in alarm.

He didn't respond. He remained stiff for a couple more minutes. After a while, Derpious turn to me and said, "... I think we killed him." Suddenly, Derpy's entire body jerks uncontrollably. Derpious and I jump in surprise and back away as a dark-looking matter starts to form from his tentacles to his head. His entire outline of his body changed, four of his tentacles looked like they fuse together to form two limbs, his remaining two tentacles are shifted upward as his entire head is stretched, half of it forming into a middle part. Then, the darkish matter starts to break away into particles, then vanish away. Derpious and I slowly look up at the new figure in front of us. A human. The being opens his eyes, revealing darkish-blue eyes, along with dark brown wavy hair. He wore a dark blue simple t-shirt that tightened around his musceled body, and black jeans with black boots. The male looks down at us, we looking back in shock.

"How do I look?" The human said, having Derpy's voice.

"Exactly... like a human. The potion worked!" I said in amazement. "You look nothing like a squid. Sky will never know that it's us and once we have earned his trust when we find him, we'll snatch that amulet from him and bring it to Derpollolus. Our leader will be so grateful to have the amulet, he'll have to promote us to be squad leaders. And no one shall ever stop us from taking over the world!" I started laughing evilly, Derpious joins in and lastly joining is Derpy.

After a few minutes of evil laughter, Derpious and I eventually stop, but Derpy continues to laugh manically. We stare at him for a while, then he slowly realizes that we stopped laughing. His laughter subsides and he said, "Oh, uh... did we stop laughing?"

"A while ago," I pointed out. "Anyway, give us the potion. We got no time to lose".


Sky's POV-

After everyone had eaten, they prepare themselves for the journey. I walk outside and look around, the silence of the taiga was soothing to me. I look over my shoulder and see several large mountains in the distance, menacing storm clouds formed over the tips, making them disappear. I took in a deep breath. I was ready for the journey. Nothing was going to stop me from saving the world. And yet, the thought about my ability to change my eyes whenever I get mad still scratched in my mind. It bothered me now and then, but I try not to think about it as much as before. Then, I heard a couple of footsteps behind me. I glanced behind myself and see Dawn, geared up in butter armor and a sword strapped behind her back. She slowly walked up to my side.

"You ready?" She asked me.

I exhaled deeply before saying, "I've never been more ready than before. Is everyone ready?"

"Yeah. They're getting their items together. We should set off in a couple of minutes," She replied to me. I gave her a faint smile, and she smiled back. She slowly lift up one of her hands and gently stroked my cheek. I could have sworn I felt myself blush, but I pushed that feeling aside.

"I'm a little nervous...about this whole journey," I told her.

She looked up and said "We're all nervous, Adam...but once we get through this journey together, we can have our lives back and live peacefully again with our friends." I nodded at her. Then, we leaned towards each other and locked our lips together in a kiss. I loved Dawn so much. More than butter, actually. I cared about everyone close to my heart. I just hoped that all this madness doesn't tear us all apart.

Suddenly, a voice called out, "You guys done kissing yet?"

I quickly pulled away from Dawn and looked ahead to see Bashur standing in the doorway, geared up in iron armor with an iron sword strapped to his side. He grinned in a sly way. "Yes, we're done," I told the melon.

"Great, now we get to the adventure!" He yelled out in glee, running out the doorway and towards the trees. A hard thud was heard a moment later. Dawn and I looked ahead and saw that Bashur had ran into a large icicle that was attached onto a large branch. He tries to back away, but he soon realizes that his tongue is stuck to the frozen and sharp piece of ice.

"Uh-oh! Thomeone, elp mwe!" He cried out, slurring his words due to part of his mouth being stuck. Then, I turned and see everyone else exiting from the house.

AntVenom walks up to me and asks, "You guys ready?"

"Well... almost," I stuttered, pointing over to Bashur. He yells out again for someone to free him.

Jerome walks away from the others and towards Bash while saying, "I got this." I stared as Jerome took his Betty and aimed for the base of the icicle. With one clean swipe from the weapon, Bashur tumbles to the snow due to the weight of the icicle. Jerome helps the melon up and I hold back my laughter as I see that Bashur had the icicle sideways in his mouth. He grabbed both ends and tried pulling it out, but fails.

"Sorry, buddy. Looks like you're gonna have to walk around with that icicle in your mouth for a while until it melts," Jerome explained to the poor melon. Bashur starts yelling, but we couldn't understand because of the icicle in the way. Jerome misheard what the melon tried to say and instead said, "Uh... love you too, buddy! But in a friendly way! Anyway, let's get going!" He started walking towards us, Bashur's groan muffled as he joins us.

AntVenom walks over to a rocky path and explained, "This path will lead us to the Blocky Mountains. If we can get there until night, we'll be much safer and we may have a greater chance of not running into the monster and grab the rapier."

With that, he trekked on the path. The others and I followed him. At that moment, our journey had begun.


Hours had passed since we had journeyed from AntVenom's house. It was a long way to the center of the middle mountain where the rapier was located. As we continued to travel through the heavy snow and cold winds, I would shake away the snowflakes on my sunglasses. The weather was beating on us down hard, but we braved through the snow and wind. Along the way, we saw a couple of penguins, waddling about and staring cautiously at us as we passed by them. When we got to the next cliffside up the mountain, I saw a bighorn sheep, standing near a rocky edge. I decided to take caution and stare at the ram as I passed by it. These rams were very territorial on their home. If they feel threatened, they would ram anything in their way using those curved horns. The ram just looked quietly as everyone passed by it. However, before we could go on, Bashur got curious of the sheep and decided to go towards it.

I quickly look over and see him approaching the sheep. I yelled out, "Bashur, don't!" He quickly glanced at me, and then the ram dashes towards him and hits him in the stomach. That action sends him flying to a rocky wall. He groaned in pain, unable to move. The ram scraped the snowy ground with its hoof, getting ready to ram into him again. I wasn't gonna allow it.

"Hold on, Bash!" I said. I pulled out my sword and charged towards the bighorn. The mob glanced at me, but it was too late for it to attack anyone. I plunged my sword into its head, killing it instantly. The creature falls to its side, a large, deep stab wound marking its forehead. It was gruesome, but I had no other choice. I turn my attention to Bashur, running over to him and helping him up. "You okay, Bash?" I asked him. He wipes away snow from his shirt and said something muffled to me, the icicle still stuck in his mouth.

"Okay... I didn't understand what you said, so I'm going to assume it's a yes," I admitted to him. "But you need to be more careful, dude. I know you like to go on adventures and all, but there's always the possibility of danger." He looked down in guilt, then he nodded in agreement. After that, we resumed our journey up the mountain.

From there, the weather only got worse. The snow storms had caused a blizzard to attack us, the fast-moving snow starting to freeze our faces. I quickly looked at my clock and saw that the day was slowly ticking away. Night was coming... and it was coming fast. I knew that we had no time to lose. We had to get to the top as soon as possible. I started to jog, trying to save my energy for when I really needed it. But as I was jogging up to the front of the group, I saw Sierra suddenly collapse.

"Sierra!" I cried out in alarm. I stopped in my tracks and knelt down next to her. She looked at me weakly, her eyes filled with fear. I grabbed her into my arms and lifted her up. AntVenom quickly ran up to us, and then he looked at her. "What's wrong with her?" I asked, worrying so much for her.

"I was afraid that this would happen. She's dangerously close to getting hypothermia. But we can't stop now. We're close to the center where the rapier is located. If we can get into the crater, we should be safe from the blizzard," AntVenom quickly stated to me.

"Well, lead us! I'm not gonna lose her," I told him, holding her close to my chest. He quickly nodded and ascended up a steep cliff. Everyone started up the hill, having a lot of difficulty with the cold winds. I had the most trouble, but I was not willing to let go of my sister. I looked at her as she weakly gazed up at me with her beautiful, shining eyes. They were slowly starting to lose their glimmer, however.

"Don't worry, Sierra. I'm not gonna let go of you. You mean everything to me," I told her, feeling tears threatening to spill. She smiles weakly at me, then she closes her eyes and her smile fades, only the rising and falling of her stomach alerting me that she was still alive. I gasped; she was barely holding on. "We have to hurry. She's starting to freeze to death," I cried up to Venom, seeing Sierra's fingertips starting to turn blue.

It felt like forever, but everyone managed to get to a crevice. One by one, everyone slips through the crevice and into the crater. Once everyone and I were inside, AntVenom enters through last. The crater was dark and we could barely see anything.

"Don't worry, doods. I'll start setting up the torches," I heard Mitch say. A light suddenly appeared in the middle of us, providing us with enough light that we could see each other. Mitch started setting up torches along the wall, lighting up part of the crater and warming us up. I sighed in exhaustion as I crouched down and gently rested Sierra against the wall, the heat from the torches slowly warming her up. She smiles up at me.

"Thank you, Adam," Sierra barely told me. I smiled at her, so relieved to see that she's slowly recovering. Then, a voice met my ears.

"Guys...look," I looked ahead and saw AntVenom. Right then, I saw it. A long, glowing rapier in the center of the crater on a pedestal, its thin blade shine with beauty and gems decorating the hilt. I walked up to Ant. This seemed too easy. The weapon was in the center, but I felt something wasn't right. When I took a step towards the weapon, a loud roar shook the entire crater. Ant and I backed away, quickly looking around to see where the roar had come from. I glance upward and when I spotted a hole where the blizzard was still going, I see a large figure, glaring down at us with red eyes. The threat crawls to the edge and jumps into the crater. The ground shook violently as the creature landed in front of the weapon.

My jaw dropped. With the light for the torches, the figure is revealed... to be a yeti. Blank-white fur from head to toe, red glaring eyes, and canines as long as a knife... this was the most shocking creature I've ever laid my eyes on.

"Oh, look, I have visitors," The yeti then hissed, which made me just back in shock slightly. I didn't know that yetis could talk. Ant and I took out our swords, and we clasped onto them. The yeti circled the Rugged Rapier quickly, walking on all fours like a dog. It circled around again, and then it turned its red eyes towards me. I seemed to freeze in place as those eyes bore into me. They were hypnotizing, and I could feel myself starting to get tired.

"Sky, don't fall asleep! That's his trick. He looks into his victims' eyes and freezes in place so they die!" Venom yelled, starting to circle to the side of the yeti.

The yeti turned his attention to Ant, but Venom had averted hs eyes so that he wouldn't fall asleep. Right as he turned, I felt myself jerk back awake. AntVenom was right. "Look what we have here. A smart Minecrafter. I have not met many of your kind before. Well, your brains are not going to save you here," The yeti then said, pushing himself up onto his hind legs. A moment later, the yeti let out a loud roar, which shook everyone. Most of my friends fell to the ground, but I managed to keep my footing. Once the roar subsided, I then felt my body beginning to freeze. But... but that couldn't be.

The creature lunged towards me, but I quickly ducked as he sailed over me. I then took a swipe at the yeti, but the yeti quickly darted around the crater, easily avoiding the hits that my friends were attempting to hit him with. He quickly went to the other side of the crater, dashing into the dark shadows. I went to go after him, but I was frozen in place again. But this time felt different. I looked down to my feet, and quickly realized that ice had surrounded my feet. As I looked around, I realized that this was happening to everyone. They all struggled in place, trying to free themselves from their icy locks. The only one that wasn't struggling was Preston, as his lava skin melted all of the snow around him. The lava Creeper took out his sword, and quickly ran towards the yeti. But the yeti was watching him. The mob quickly jumped onto the wall, and then he bounded for something behind me. I realized too late what he had gone for.

Stretching up to full height, the yeti then glared down at all of us as he grasped onto Sierra in his hand. She could not do anything, however, because she was still frozen. But she was awake, and I could see the terror in her eyes as the yeti held her in his hand a good ten blocks above the ground. "You are all foolish to come here and try to take my beloved rapier. For that, you will all watch as your comrade freezes to death before your eyes," The yeti then hissed, a wicked smile playing across his lips.

"NO!" I screamed, unable to move because of the icy locks on my feet. But it was already too late. The yeti used his icy powers to quickly freeze Sierra, and within seconds, her whole body had turned icy blue.

"ADA-!" Sierra started to cry out, but she couldn't finish as the ice covered her body completely. We all stared in horror as the yeti cackled evilly, and then he dropped my sister's frozen body onto the ground. A heart-breaking crack went out as her body hit the ground below her, and then the body stopped moving completely.

"Sierra!" I heard both Mitch and Jerome yell out, their voices cracking slightly. I just froze in place. Tears began to well up in my eyes, but I could not let them out. If I showed that yeti that I was sad, then he would just kill the rest of us. My sister... my beloved sister, taken from this world. I would not let her die in vain. Right then, I freely allowed my anger to take over. My eyes quickly changed colors, and I clenched my hands into fists.

"You should not have done that, yeti," I growled, feeling my body begin to shake. Right then, I saw Preston up on the ledge behind the yeti, his sword in his hands. I knew exactly what I had to do right then. I ripped my feet up from the icy locks around my ankles, and I charged for the yeti. He looked shocked, but then he growled and he charged right for me. We collided, and I swiped several times at the creature. These hits hit home, and the yeti cried out in pain as the blizzard outside began to get into his wounds. From the corner of my eye, I saw that AntVenom had freed himself, and he was busy helping everyone else get free. All those that he freed began to help me attack the yeti. Alix, out of all of them, was fighting just as savagely as I was. I realized that his eyes had changed just like mine do, except they were red. But right then I did not want to find out why his eyes do the same thing. I wanted to kill the beast that had gladly murdered my sister.

I swiped at the yeti's stomach, which made the yeti yelp in pain. Me and my friends continued to push him towards the wall of the crater, where Preston had positioned himself to kill the yeti. "This... is for Sierra!" I then cried out, then stabbing the yeti in the stomach. The sword went right into the creature, the blade sinking into him until it stopped at the hilt. Right as I pulled out my sword, Preston leapt onto the yeti, and quickly sliced at the creature's neck. With a final groan of pain, the yeti collapsed onto the ground, and then it stopped breathing. A moment later, the yeti disappeared in a poof of particles, and his remains quickly vanished into the winds of the blizzard around us. Taking in a deep breath, I then felt my eyes change back to normal, and I quickly adjusted my sunglasses. Then, I felt panic set in. Turning around, I then ran to my sister's frozen body, and picked her up slightly. "No... Sierra..." I sobbed, feeling tears pour freely down my face. I shook as I stared down into her frozen eyes, seeing the look of fright frozen on her face. A pain deep inside of me erupted, and I began to sob uncontrollably as I held my sister's frozen body in my arms.

AntVenom ran up to my side, and he quickly examined Sierra. "Can... can you save her?" I gasped, looking up to him. At that point, everyone else had gathered behind me, and Mitch and Jerome were directly behind me, tears streaming down their faces while they looked at the frozen girl.

A moment later, Venom pursed his lips, and looked up to Preston. "Pu reh taeh dna srewop aval ruoy esu ot uoy deen I, Notserp. Reh laeh lliw pu reh gnitaeh ebyam dna, evila ylerab si ehs," He then said, which confused me on what he was saying. But whatever he said, Preston understood, and then he knelt down next to me and Sierra.

Exhaling, Preston then asked me quietly, "Can you set her down and move, please?" Nodding, I then carefully stood up, and backed up next to Dawn. Once we had all backed up a good distance from Preston, he closed his eyes, and then he moved his hands in a circle in the air. Right then, the ground shook slightly, and in a circle around Preston and Sierra erupted lava. It enclosed Preston in the center, and it also made it so that none of us could approach them.

"What in the Nether is Preston doing?" Jerome asked, looking in shock towards Preston. I just shrugged.

"I really don't know, Fluffy," I then said, wiping the tears off of my face. "Whatever he is doing, he is trying to save Sierra."

The lava Creeper knelt down next to Sierra, and he placed his hands on her chest. He closed his eyes, and then he began to speak the same strange language that AntVenom uses to speak to them. As we watched this happen, I saw that his fingertips began to glow, and I then realized that he was trying to heat her up. Slowly, the ice off of Sierra's body began to melt, forming a small puddle of water around her. A minute later, all of the water was melted off of Sierra, and then Preston pushed himself up. Right as he stood up, the lava pool encircling them sunk back into the ground, and I rushed forward to my sister. I picked her up, cradling her head in my arms. Her face had relaxed into a calm position once the snow had unfrozen her body, and as I held her, I could feel that she was warm. But that wasn't bodily warmth. It was the residue of the heat that Preston had put into her.

Brushing Sierra's bangs out of her face, I brushed my hand gently against her cheek. "Sierra?" I asked, looking down to her in hope. But when she didn't respond, I knew that my hopes were hopeless. I hung my head down low, and I felt the tears beginning to pour again. "Sierra... no..." I whispered, feeling my sunglasses beginning to fill up with tears.

Everyone was crying by that point. Even Ant, Preston and Eagle were tearing up, even though they did not know Sierra very well. I set my sister's body gently on the ground, and I pushed myself up. I then turned to my friends, adjusting my sunglasses on my face so that they couldn't see my bloodshot eyes. "Guys, we have just lost a wonderful person, a woman that did not deserve this fate. She was a sister, a best friend, a caregiver. Many of you have changed because of what Sierra did. We... we cannot let her death go in vain. We cannot give Herobrine the satisfaction that we are crumbling because one of our closest members of our friends died," I barely managed to say, shaking as I spoke because of the emotions surging through me. I then turned around, and I walked up to the Rugged Rapier. The weapon now did not have the same shine as before, and it looked less appealing to me. Taking it off of the pedestal carefully, I then held out the weapon for everyone to see. "This weapon will serve as a reminder of the valuable soldier we lost, and we will always remember Sierra while we continue this journey!" Everyone began cheering, and then, AntVenom stepped forward.

"The next closest weapon is the Devious Dagger in the Bedrock caverns, which is going to be a days journey from here to the west. If we are to get there soon, we had best go now when the blizzard is calmed down so we don't have any more... issues along the way," AntVenom then said. Everyone nodded, and began to set out. But I stayed behind, standing beside Sierra's body. Dawn saw this and she quickly walked up to me.

"Honey, you cannot do anything else at this point. We already tried heating her up, but we were too late. I'm sorry, Sky. But... we have to go," Dawn said, putting her hand on my shoulder. Once she realized that I was almost crying, Dawn then said calmly, "Oh, Sky. I know how much it must hurt to have her die. She was the only family that you had, and now... she's gone. But we cannot do anything. If Sierra were here, she would want you to go and save Minecraftia, not sit here and mourn over her death. Be the hero of Minecraftia, Sky."

I nodded after a moment. "You are right, Dawn. She would want me to continue on strong, not have me be weak from sadness. Thanks, honey," I then said, smiling over to Dawn. Dawn smiled, and then she turned away to start heading out. I took one last look at Sierra, and then I knelt down next to her. Kissing her forehead, I then said, "I will save Minecraftia for you, Sierra. Don't worry. You will not have died for nothing." Pushing myself up, I then walked away, leaving behind my sister's dead body. But it felt wrong to leave her there... I just had a feeling that I should stay there for a minute more. I ignored that, though. I had to go on... I had to save Minecraftia and stop Herobrine and the Squids once and for all.


Ray's POV-

I knelt down on the ledge of the crater, watching as Sky then walked away from his sister's body. I frowned when I saw her body. She wasnot supposed to die like that. Once Sky was out of sight, I jumped down into the crater, and I walked up to the body. Kneeling down, I then placed my hand against Sierra's lips, and then after a moment of concentrating, I said, "Awake."

Nothing happened. Then, a single breath escaped from her lips.
