Skys POV:
Soon the squids will start their journey as well, and we haven't even made it halfway. But the squids don't know about the map or the hiden writing Hero found...which leads me to wonder if only Hero could have see the writing, because no matter how close I look, even whithout my sunglasses on with no one looking, I cannot see whatever writing he saw. That or it was the sunlight hitting the paper, or the magic amount in the air since he was standing close to me when he saw the words, and he is basically pure magic. At the moment, though, Hero seems to be clutching his chest again as the others joked around. I feel sorry for him, but I'm sure it's possible to feel happiness like the others even if he hasn't yet. Although earlier, when I saw Captain Sparklez talking to him, I am sure he actually meant it when he laughed. I look over to Deadlox, who was pouting a little and I chuckle. After leaving the city we took a shortcut that can't be used too often(*cough* teleport *cough*) or the magic Hero has will wear too thin since we are a big group. We are in Mesa Territory now, and there is no parkour areas anywhere. I swear, Deadlox is obsessed with TNT and parkour.
"It's alright Deadlox, you can survive without parkour...right?" The seriousness I put on the end made everyone, including Deadlox laugh. Herobrine just had a confused face.
"Of course I can survive without parkour for awhile. But can you survive without calling gold butter?" He smirked evily at me, and I decided to take the challenge, although I was destined to fail.
"Well duh Deadlox, even though I have been calling g-gold that for a while now and I really like go-gol-ld...I can't do it! It's budder not gold!" I clutched my budder sword to my chest, as everyone laughed, and Herobrine smiled a little.
"Careful Sky, we might have found your weakness," chuckled Husky. Mitch, who was already hiding partly behind Jerome decided to say somemthing.
"Yours is being called Fish!" he basically yelled, and Husky threw a dagger at him, only to miss by milimeters. It cut some of his hair though, but not much.
"Your friends, and yet you try to kill each other?" Hero asked. I was about to answer the question, but Jerome beat me too it.
"It's fake kill. We call Husky fish because it annoys him, but he is still our friend. And I could tell he meant to miss Mitch because if he truely wanted to kill him, he could have easily hit his target. I bet he just likes to throw around daggers." another one almost hit Jerome, but it missed. "See, he never misses twice in a row."
"Well maby your right that I like to throw daggers, but can you make a cake?" I chuckle as Husky said that.
"No he can't, last time he tried to make a delicous cake, he blew up the kitchen." Ssundee interjected. His obsession was obviously cake. Jerome tried last month to make a cake, which caused a hole in the kitchen wall to become our new window, and Ssundee to have a cake funeral for what was left of it. Although, since Jason wasn't there that day, we tricked him into thinking that the new window was something we planned all along, until he found out that we were lying when he found near invisible burn marks on the walls upon the next day when he made breakfast. He is really good at seeing things from far away, and I'm surprised he barely passed his last eye exam, even though he wore his helmet.
"I remember when you tried to steal my jetpack." Said Jason to Husky. "We lost it in the trees for a month and we lost you for a week."
"I wanted to fly, and I saw your jetpack. Now I know why I'm a water type. I still don't know how I got stuck in a trap we made for squids, nor do I remember how I crashed." I laughed, we found out not long ago that he hit his head really hard when he crashed, it was all he could remember from the ordeal that happened last year, but I personally blame the rare flying squids.
"So, is there any villages in Mesa Territory?" asked Jason towards Ssundee. I dont think he's been here before, but I think Ssundee grew up around here, so there had to be a village. Ssundee shook his head.
"Father has a small cottage by a farm, and thats all I know thats in this area." explained Ssundee. He then turned to Mitch, "And before you ask Mitch, he is human." Mitch looked surprised for a second.
"Did you read my mind?" Herbrine sighed and shook his head.
"That is a power no one can use Soldier Mitch." said Herobrine. I could see a far off look on his face.
"I could tell you were about to ask a question, and I just quessed. And before you ask where my mother is, she has been gone for a while now, although Derp doesn't believe me when I tell him that she is dead. Derp may joke about a bad relationship with her, but they had a close bond." explained Ssundee, and Herobrine turned towards Ssundee. I supressed a smile at his face full of confusion.
"I apologize for your loss...but who is Derp? Is he Emporer Derporolus?" Deadlox laughed, nearly falling over if it wasn't for Jason to keep him from doing so. Soon, all of us were laughing. "What did I say?" He said that so quickly with a look of what could be described best as panic, and we all laughed even harder. Soon, Ssundee stopped to catch his breath, and he answered Herobrines question.
"No Hero, Derporolus and Derp are two different people. Derp is my little twin brother, and we're basically identical except he has derped eyes and is completely human." Herobrine nods and we continue our walk through the Mesa Territory.
"You know, what if-" Deadlox was cut off from what he was saying, when he fell into a hole. We heard a loud crash and I looked down into the darkness to see if I could see him.
"Deadlox, are you down there? Are you still alive or do I need to call a hearse." I hear a faint groan, and some more, less loud thuds.
"I-I'm fine...I can't feel my leg and...I'm bleeding a bit f-from my head." I hear some shuffling and a gasp. "M-make that a lot of bleeding from my l-leg as well." I sigh and another question pops into my head.
"Can you see at all down there, or is it not safe to jump down." I hear a growl of annoyance, yep Deadlox was still concious.
"I've obviously set off any if not all of the traps down here, now c-ome on before I bleed out." I jump down first, my foot landing the wrong way, but it was only a sprang. The others jumped down as well, Hero didn't even float down. Jerome took out a torch, and we gasped at where we were.
It was a large room with budder walls. There was one tunnel going furthur in, but it was made of mossy cobblestone. Scrolls and scripts lined the walls, but there was a cave-in near the middle. Deadlox was laying there, one of his legs crushed from the cave-in. I could tell it was a trap because the stones had signs of redstone, and all that fell were the stones that were cut a certain way. We made our way over to Deadlox, but I could tell he was unconcious, and his headphones were missing.
"Hero, can you heal things, I don't think splash potions will work quick enough, and he isn't awake to drink a regular potion." Herobrine looks to be in thought for a moment, but then nods. "I'm not the best at it, but I can do it. Soldier Ssundee your helping, auras are more better at healing than magic." Said Herobrine as he knelt down beside Deadlox, white glowing symbols appearing around him. Ssundee sat on the other side, and did what Hero told him to do, and soon dark purple symbols appeared around Ssundee along with the smell of burnt wood. I turned to Jerome and Husky, the two strongest in the group.
"I need you two to clear the rubble from his leg so it can be healed. There is already a puddle of blood coming from underneath the rocks so be quick. Mitch and Jason, use your speed and eyesight to find his headphones, you both know how sensitive his hearing is. I have to help Jerome and Husky." I instructed them, and they set to work. I started to help clear the trap. There wasn't much light, and Deadloxs headphones never glowed unless they were on his head, so it might take a while to find. The huge rocks took all three of us to lift, and the blood didn't seem to stop. Herobrine looked towards us, fear on his face.
"The main artery in his leg has been cut, and I think his heart just stopped." Herobrine started a different spell, one that looked similar to the one he used on Captain Sparklez, and electricity went through Deadlox. "Never mind, it's working again but weakly." Ssundee looked surprised, holding back questions to how he did that spell.
I was confused. Why didn't he dissapear and respawn when his heart stopped. "Are we in a respawn zone?" Herobrine shook his head.
"This cavern is stopping any possibility of respawn, so we need to free his leg quickly, or I will cut it off." Ssundee gave him an odd look. "Do you wan't your friend to die?"
We continued to remove the rubble, and finally his leg was free. Herobrines started to heal his leg, with Ssundees help, and soon the bleeding had stopped. Herobrine put an ear to Deadloxs chest and sighed. "He's still alive. He should wake up soon..." Herobrine trailed off as he put a hand on his head, seemingly in pain.
"Are you okay Hero", asked Mitch, who had found the headphones suprisingly unscathed.
"I'm fine...I used too much magic thats all." His glowing eyes seemed to fade a little and the room became darker.
"Did you almost lose your mind. Ssundee said that could happen if you use to much magic, or can you die from magic consumption?" Asked Jason.
"I thought you didn't have a magic limit." Jerome looked a little surprised and a little worried.
"I can't die but I can loose my mind. You probably didn't notice before when we fought because I was already insane. But my magic replenishes quickly and I would have snapped if it weren't for that." I hear a groan on the floor, and Deadlox shakily sits up.
"Why do I feel as though I have been electricuted?" Herobrine chuckles, although I hear no feeling in it.
"You died for a second, and-" Deadlox winces, covering his ears, and Herobrine quickly shuts his mouth. He looked towards me with a questioning look on his face. I take the headphones from Mitch and put them on Deadloxs head. They glowed a little, casting a green glow across some of the room. "His ears are that sensitive?" I nod, and suddenly we hear movement within the cavern.
This is not, I repeat not, the death possibility I mentioned earlier. I thank .zheng for your helpful criticism, but I think the first chapter is fine for now. Oh my gosh, I love your stories RebelWingsProduction97. You have a great idea for who can possibly die, I never thought of that one before. And I am also an idiot, I thought Deadloxs eyes were brown and they turned red in the Enderlox form..in this story his eyes are brown though. I also thank you, Watcher321, for your nice comment. I was going for that since Herobrine basically had no true human interaction since he became what he is now. Also, he barely remembers anything from before the fight where his soul was taken, so the concept of friends is still new to him, even if he says that Team Crafted are more of acquaintances. I hope everyone had a good day, and if you can quess what is going to happen you get a cookie. (::) (::) (::)
