Minecraft: loading new world

POV:Unknown Brute

My blood was boiling ready for some action.

I joined the Diamond Squad knowing that they are the best and would get into the most dangerous battles, and who would've refused such rewards.

But today was a special day, since this wold be the most hard battle we'll ever face.

We were going to fight the army of a being that could take over Bastions by himself.

What an honor to be part of this.

The Mad Price split the squad into 2, one would attack the lower part of the Bastion, and the other one would attack the front door to gether as much attention as posibile.

Just as we were about to start marching, Boss came to our group.

"Here are some potions that would negate effects of the Withering. It would last for 12 hours, so you can fight to your heart content. Also, if you see Trader by any chance, tell him to join us in the battle downstairs."

Then he gave us a white potion and a red one.

The white one was new to us, but easy to understand after it was explained.

The red one tho, was the specialty of the Diamond Squad.

Once you drink this potion, for the next 10 minutes you'll have bosted strength, speed, regeneration and defense.

From what I heard it was hard to procure and only the Mad Prince was smart enough to do it.

A fist to those proud Piglings that are too afraid to hold a sword.

As soon as the signal was given, we all drank the white potion and ran towards the Bastion yelling our hearts out.

Soon arrows rained upon us, which we all blocked them with our shields.

We continued to run like that, until we reached the gate were we put TNT blocks and lit the fuse.

The Brutes from the walls tried to crush us with gravel and such items, but we were too fast for them.

A few seconds later.

*BOOM!

*BOOM!

*BOOM!

*BOOM!

The explosion were heard and a new way inside was opened.

Without hesitation we entered the Bastion where we were quickly surrounded by enemies.

But you couldn't see fear or nervousness on our faces, instead all you could see were mad smiles.

I took my diamond axe and crushed the head of the Skelton in front of me.

With my other hand I blocked the incoming swords before smashing them as well.

We continued like this for a few minutes without rest, but we were getting overwhelmed by numbers.

This is not good, it was fun while it lasted, but we need to drink the potions soon to overcome this situation.

Just as I was about to give the order a huge creature aperead in the middle of the enemy.

Then another one and another.

They were huge with long arms but each punch killed a soldier in one swing.

This made me curios how I would fare against them.

Before I could make this stupid decision, a voice brought my reson back.

"You there! What was the plan for this attack? No matter how I look at this, it's suicide."

Suddenly in front of me apered a man in black armor that gave off a menacing aura.

He was the Infamous Trader, the one who managed to defeat the second in command which previously thought impossible.

I knew he was a strong man, but I didn't approve of his fighting style.

Too slippery and unpredictable, but I guess as long as you were the one on top, it didn't matter how you fought.

"We were ordered to distract as many enemies as possible while the main squad would attack the heart of this place."

I quickly replied.

If he was the one who brought thos huge soldiers, then he must really go downstairs to help out Boss.

Suddenly one of his men, quickly flew past me and hit the wall with a laud Bang.

The newcomers seemed to be much more powerful then anticipated, and were giving the huge guys a good beating.

This wasn't good, I'm sure Trader would join to save them, but he didn't need to waste his strength on this.

I quickly told him that he was needed in another battlefield, and after hesitating for a moment, he gave me some iron ingots to heal his men.

I don't know how this would work, but if it got him away from this place, I was going to do it.

Just as he aperead, he disappeared by jumping over the rails into the dark mist below.

"Oh wait! O forgot to give him that potion. Eh he survived until now, so I'm sure he'll be fine."

Then I turned towards my men who got a short rest.

"My men! Bottles up."

"""Uhh!"""

Then we all took the red potion and drank it all in one gulp.

I felt strength building into my body, I felt that any wound would be heald in an instant.

I felt invincible!

I switched my shield to another axe and began attacking the enemies with special powers.

Spikes came from the ground trying to trap me like the huge soldiers, but we were to fast to catch any of us.

Then, the one with weapons jumped in front of us and began to swing at impressive speeds.

Each swing they took, was calculated and deadly with years of experience behind it.

A man like him could've joind our squad without a problem.

And there was a whole group of them?

I dodged to the side and swing my axes to hit the enemy in front of me.

While they were powerful warriors, we had 2 advantages over them.

-Our armor

-Our speed

Sure, they were as strong as us normally, but what could they do when we had such people that could tank their hits endlessly, and others they couldn't touch.

A smiled appeared on my face.

I could see the end of this battle.

POV:Second In Command

Boss gave the order to attack, and the first squad quickly got to work.

They placed the explosives at the door and now an entrance was created for us to use it.

All of us took the potions made by Boss to fight to our heart's content, and we could feel the pressure of the Withering disappear.

But we had one more ace up our sleeves.

While the first squad got 2 potions for the upcoming battle, we were also given a blanket that we could cover ourselves with.

This blanket was made with Striders hair and could hold up an enchantment.

And Boss had the genius idea to put Camunflash on them.

While it wasn't as powerful as the invisibility potion, it did a good job at hiding our armor as well.

So while the chaos ensued, we drank a jump portion and covered ourselves with those blankets.

It wasn't the perfect disguise since you could see the space bent, but it wouldn't matter when we were going to be constantly jumping and moving at high speeds.

Once a minute has passed we quickly went to action and entered the huge Bastion.

Just as Boss expected, there was a lot of maisma inside and there was a huge staircase going down.

We tried to jump in the empty spaces if we could, but sometimes a few skulls were crushed which brought confused looks from the enemy's.

After a certain depth, there weren't any more enemies, but our vision was obscured by the black mist.

If we didn't take the potion beforehand, for sure we would've been dead by now.

We silently went deeper and deeper, until suddenly the mist was gone and we could see a huge room below us.

In the middle of the room stood the Wither in a sleeping state but his chest was shining for some reason.

At the bottom stood a few Piglings with red coats moving from paper to paper while loudly arguing about something.

Now that I was looking closer, I could see that the whole floor had some scribbling that looked similar to the enchanted language, but I couldn't recognize any letter.

The whole floor was black, with the exception of the middle who showed the unbreakable block that was found at the bottom and the top of the world.

Were they trying to harvest the powers from that block?

That would be a pointless endeavor since not even our ancestors were able to chip that block.

We were about to arrive at the floor when suddenly a red arrow hit one of our men.

*BOOM!

The arrow exploded and a few soldiers fell down the stairs.

I quickly recognized those arrows.

This was the right hand man of the Wither.

He was a tall skeleton who had arrows with different attributes, and the most annoying ability to travel through the shadows.

We first thought, that he was teleporting, but after we put some items that should've sealed the space, he was still able to get away.

That's when Boss theorised that he could travel trough shadow's, since he always seemed to melt when he disappeared.

He was a long range fighter who could kill any soldier if they didn't pay attention.

Only me and the Boss were able to hold him down for a while.

And since Boss had to fight the Wither, it was my duty as the second in command to kill that undead creature.

I took out my crossbow and shot a 3 fireworks at him because I had multi-shoot.

*Boom!

*Boom!

*Boom!

But as expected, my fireworks were too loud and he quickly dodged them by going into the shadows.

"Eveyone, get rid of the blanked and fight!"

I quickly gave an order and everyone soon followed it.

Once we threw the blankets of us, it began to disintegrate like it caught flames.

The Enchantment was too powerful, so this was only a one time use item.

But it was enough for us to get what we wanted, and I jumped over the rails quickly approaching the the ground.

Just as I was about to hit it, I jumped on the air and rolled to the side as more arrows were shot at me.

I took out my diamond swords and began running towards the new location of the Shadow Skeleton.

Just when I was about 10 blocks away from him, my instincts began to scream that I was in danger, and I quickly jumped to the side.

That was a smart move from me, since in my previous location, now stood 3 black clothed Brutes with their weapons out.

Where did they came from?

I didn't even see or feel them.

They began running at me, and attacked me with great coordination.

They weren't to much of a danger alone, but together, they got annoying really quick.

Just as I was about to decapitate on of them, it melted into black goo and disaperead into the shadows.

Perfect!

They now had more of those annoying people.

Luckily for me, I didn't have to worry anymore since the others reached the floor seafty and I wouldn't be fighting alone.

Arrows were being shot one after another, each colored differently with their own abilities.

While he was distracted by shooting my men, I got closer to him and threw a small cube that suddenly lit up and exploded.

A huge flash of light appeared in the middle of the room, that made every shadow disappeared.

With this opportunity I finally managed to hit the Shadow Skeleton, leaving a shallow cut in his leg.

This was going to be a long fight, I could feel it.

The battle continued for a few minutes and we were slowly gaining ground.

There was a single problem though, and that was the fact that the effects of the super potion would soon run out.

They were very hard to make, so only a select few got a second batch.

We needed something to change the tides and we needed it now.

*BOOM!

A laud explosions caught all of our attention and we all looked up where the Wither was supposed to be sleeping.

Besides the Wither, was something the slowly floated towards the ground.

I could recognise that black armor anywhere to my annoyance.

But I couldn't help but smile with relief as I saw the man.

Trader was here, the plan could finally start.
