Deadloxs POV:
"I-I-I love you Biggums." Mitch sobbed, clutching Jerome to his chest. Tears were falling from my eyes as Jerome died not long after. He broke down, crying into the soft fur of the bacca. All of us were wishing that he didn't die, and I noticed something. Brown whisps of smoke rose off of Mitch. Green surrounded me when I wished that Jerome didn't die. Magenta mixed with swirls of light blue surrounded Husky as he hugged Jason, crying. Jason was hugging back, orange mist coming off of him. Ssundee was crying, not paying attention to anything, his aura crackling with electricity around him. Blue and white aura came off of Herobrine, who was in the midddle of a mental breakdown, hugging his knees to his chest and crying. Sky stood silently watching the scene, tears streaming down his face. The purest butter shined around him, even more so than Notchs butter aura. I don't think anyone payed attention to the auras, mabye I could only see them since I was in Ender form. I turned my eyes back to normal for a second, and sure enough, I couldn't see them until my eyes turned red again.
Our auras seem to mix in the air, becoming an aurora borialis of colors above us. The fog had cleared, and we were probably on the other side of the world with the night sky. I noticed another thing, a shooting star went across the now night sky. The mixture of colors exlploded into a bright light that I guess only I noticed, and next thing we know...Jerome is dissapearing as though he's going to respawn!
"What?" We all say as Jerome dissapears. It was silent after, and we started to doubt that he respawned, the blood he shed had stayed behind. After Herobrine recovers from his breakdown after a few minutes, we go and sit by Mitch. He stared at the blood on him and the ground, tears rolling down his face.
"Wh-why did he die?" He asked himself.
"I should have seen this coming!" Ssundee yelled, kicking a rock and putting a small hole into an outcropping of stone. "I was warned about everything but him, why?"
"My magic should have worked. It didn't...I couldn't save him for anyone..." Herobrine stared blankly at the blood. I hear something behind us, probably another wolf. I decided to not listen with my ears for once. I surprisingly saw furry hands hug Mitch from behind. He froze, his tears growing.
Mitchs POV:
I couldn't see why Ssundee and Hero were blaming themselves, their magic was turned off temporarily by a bite from that monster, there was nothing they could do. We were warned someone was going to die by Seto, we knew this was going to happen from the start. I silently hoped that he heard me in his dying moments. I then see fuzzy hands wrap around me, everyone gasping. If my tears were a stream earlier, now their a river. I turned around, seeing the familiar smiling face of my best friend.
"I wont leave you this early." He assured us all, Ssundee was yelling apologies at him, but Jerome shrugged it off. "It wasn't your fault. Whatever future had my death probably always had me come back, so it didn't show you." His hugged tightened around me.
"So, was that a spur of the moment thing you said, or did you mean it?" I gave him a surprised expression.
"Do I lie?" I ask him, and he shakes his head. "It was true, I was going to tell you after the mission, but I didn't want you to possibly die without knowing how I felt. So many die without saying goodbye, and I can't say goodbye, even if you do die someday." I look at him sadly, hugging him tight. "I don't know what I'd do without you Jerome." Fresh tears start to fall as I realize that he might not have come back.
"Heh, your getting my blood all over me." He laughed, and I could see how he was confused about that. "Hey Mitch?" I look up at him.
"What is-" I was cut off from talking as I was kissed by Jerome.
Jasons POV:
I snapped a picture with the camera on my sleeve quickly, making them look at me. Husky was laughing beside me, and I started to chuckle too.
"Oh no, my only weakness...Blackmail." Jerome pretended to become weakened, and we all had a well deserved laugh. I was becoming less subconcious about how I didn't look entirely human, and Sky patted my head.
"Back to the matter at hand before that wolf ruined it...Why and how does your hair do that?" He whined, trying to figure it out. I was going to answer, but next thing I know, everyone is touching my hair.
"Okay, no touching the hair." I say as I float out of the way with my jetpack. They groaned and began asking me why my hair did this. I landed, hitting away every hand that tried to touch my hair. "It's not something I know. All I know is that its weird. Sky... next time you touch my hair, I will eat all of the butter and not save any for you." I say in a fake serious tone, but he still backed off. I walked over to my broken helmet, inspecting it to make sure that only the glass had broke. There was a huge dent in it, and I couldn't fix that. Oh well, no helmet it is.
"I say we find the nearest town and take a break, this week is going to give me a heart attack." muttered Ssundee. We agreed and started to make our way down the mountain. The place where the map should have been was broken, so mabye someone has it somewhere. The fact that Jerome came back surprised me though, I thought he would be dead for sure. After a few minutes, Herobrine got his magic back, and he made the blood dissapear from Husky, Mitch, and Jerome.
"How come you were covered in blood as well?" Herobrine asked to Husky. Oh...Herobrine wasn't around when we learned that he was once an assasin.
"I used to be an assasin...I don't know what they did to me, but I am likely to lose it and want to spill blood if I get hurt or if I cause the enemy to bleed. I'm more phycho than insane though." Herobrine nodded, lost in thought.
"That would explain why your pupils are always dialated during fights." Husky nodded, and we finally made our way down the mountain. I could see a village not far away, and we headed that way.
-Time skip to sunrise-
"I know where we are!" Screamed Sky, waking us up. Mitch just stayed cuddling with Jerome who surprisingly didn't wake up scared. Mabye it has something to do with the fact that he had Mitch. Deadlox, again, flipped off Sky. He blew a rasberry at Deadlox and pouted.
"I come here every thanksgiving and Halloween!" He says exitedly.
"Wait, The Roomates are here in this town?" The Roomates were another faction of the Sky Army, although a smaller one. It is made up of Ross the Narwhal, Barney, Max, Jin, and Red. When we came across a white two-story house, Sky turned to it and yelled.
"ROSS!" He smiled as a derpy narwhal came out of the house. Herobrine had his hood up and eyes closed until Sky could explain the situation.
"Sky! What are you doing here? It's not Halloween or Thanksgiving. If I remember correctly...it's in the middle of July." Ross looked a little worried when he saw us, then looked a little confused. I wonder if he noticed how I looked different and wasn't wearing my helmet. "I thought there were only seven of you." Sky put an arm around the narwhal, giving him a noogie.
"I'll explain everything when The Roomates are gathered, you guys still living in the same house?" He asked, making Ross laugh.
"We aren't called The Roomates for nothing Sky. The others are watching Naruto." He led us inside, and we were instantly greeted by The Roomates. Barney was basically a purple dinosaur with an eyepatch. Max was a redhead with a Z necklace. Jin wore a purple and white hoodie. Red wore a red dinosaur costume. Jin looked straight at me, yelling in surprise.
"What?!" He caught the attention of everyone else, who also now looked at me with a surprised expression. I made my eyes go wider and my hair float, which scared Red a little. Sky got their attention back by waving his hand.
"Lets sit down, I'll explain everything, aslo-" Sky was cut off by an exited yell from Husky.
"MEROME is real!" Ross and him gave a girly shriek and they ran off to tell Thundermuffin. The others looked at Mitch and Jerome who held hands and caused The Roomates to pretend puke. Once Ross came back, we sat at the couch in front of a paused Naruto movie.
"Okay." sighed Sky as he looked seriously at the group. "Don't be mad Max, but we made a new friend." Max glared at him and we chuckeled.
"Is it okay to introduce myself?" Hero asked quietly and Sky nodded. Hero stood up probably so he could avoid any attacks.
Herobrines POV:
"I'm Hero..." They looked at me and I took my hood off and opened my eyes, causing multiple gasps, and readying of weapons. "Also known as Herobrine. I'm sorry for what I may have done in the past. Thanks to Team Crafted, my mind has been mended and I have been working on changing the past-" I was cut off by Ssundee.
"Even if it means you get hurt." He scolded, and my eyes turned human for a second so I could roll my eyes.
"I'm older than you little brother, your not allowed to scold me."
"I promise I will become Mother Hen number two again so I could." He retorted, and The Roomates looked surprised between the two of us.
"We found out we were brothers." I explained and Ssundee blew me a rassberry, which I returned. We got into a small fight about it while the others talked
Skys POV:.
"See, they're related...And if you ask me, they have the same temper." I whispered the last part to the group.
"Alright, so what brings you here?" asked Jin. Max stared cautiously at Hero. Red hid behind the couch, staring at Jason. Barney was eating an apple and speaking with Jerome and Mitch.
"We were on a mission and a series of events in less than a week brought us here." I sigh, this was going to be a long story, but we had the time. I started from when Seto gave us the message. I told them in the best detail I could, the others helping for facts that I missed.
I know it's a little shorter and more of a filler than anything, but it will start picking up again, I'm just giving the characters a break. I'm sorry for any tears spilt last chapter, Jerome is still alive, and I can add some history for this story to what happened with the auras that only Deadloxs Endereyes could see. I think of it as when someone mourns the loss of someone, their auras will drift off them unknowingly (only the red eyed Endermen or Deadlox can see the mourning auras). If the aurora borealis of auras attract the magic from a shooting star or any other celestial body, the person would be revived. Although it is very rare, and Notch only heard of it when he went to the end and heard and Endermen talking about it. We have finally met The Roommates. Also, since Jasons bones are flexible, he can make his eyes seem even bigger than before. I don't know what I did with Jasons, all I know is that it does a gravity thing. I apologize if it seemed rushed anywhere. There should be a longer chapter next time, since it is chapter twenty. I hope everyone had a good day and have some more cookies. (::) (::) (::) (::) P.S. Where could I fit Sub into this story? Which kind of team should he be on in the Sky Army, or just a silent vigilante? I ask because something about Sub is like an ancient Japanese monster that had no face. It is called a Nopperabou, it has no face, just smooth skin. They have the ability to make a temporary face appear, and the Nopperabou mainly aim to scare people with their face. I was watching Hetalia: Paint it White when I noticed that Sub had no face at all and resembled what would be a Nopperabou. Have a good day, Sayonara.
