Y/N's POV

I stood at the entrance of the stairs that led to the surface.

I was terrified.

Terrified of what exactly?

Well, many things.

Being denied an audience with the team.

Being revealed as the daughter of Herobrine before I have a chance to explain.

One of my N/F getting injured.

The list goes on and on.

But...I have to set aside my fears.

I'm a leader.  Leaders have to portray awareness and understanding of the situations around them.

Even though I have NO clue how to interact with people besides my N/F.

Most of my social interaction otherwise was with Father, S/N, and various Nether mobs.

Not~ the best examples to base off of.

I heard footsteps behind me and turned to see the N/F who were coming with me.

Candid, Samuel, Ren, Trent, Pit, Gem, and Bren.

7 N/F.

Ren, Trent, Pit, Gem, and Bren were dressed in their stealth suits.  Samuel and Candid were dressed normally.

They watched me for a moment as I watched them.  "Are you all ready?"

They all nodded.

"Now realize that this is a pretty dangerous mission.  If it fails, we may not return for a long time, if ever.  If you wish to bow out now, I won't stop you or blame you.  I wouldn't do this if I didn't have to."

Candid smirked.  "Come now, Y/N.  Do you really think we'd be standing here if we didn't want to help you?  You've proven yourself thus far with me, and I'm willing to follow you to the ends of the Overworld if need be."

"Did you just rhyme?"  I asked with a grin.

He paused for a moment.  "Huh.  I suppose I did.  Still, my statement stands."

"I love going on adventures, dangerous or not!  I'm all in!"  Gem exclaimed happily.

"What's life without a few adventures?  I'm sticking with you, Y/N."  Trent said with a small smile.

"This seems like it could turn out interestingly.  I'm in for sure."  Pit grinned.

"Adventure or not, you're the leader, and I wish for you to have a safe return.  Better make sure myself that you do return."  Samuel said with a barely-visible smirk.

"I've not been out of the base for some time.  Why not make my first time out in a while exciting?"  Bren grinned.

Ren was silent for a moment.  "Well, what have I got to lose?  YOSO, am I right?"

I laughed.  "You're not wrong, Ren.  Well, now is better than never.  Let's get going!"

~~~~~~~~~~

We stopped at the edge of the forest just a few blocks from the road.

I had pulled my hood up and placed my gloves on before leaving the base.  I could feel my hands shaking with anxiety.

Ren, Trent, Gem, Bren, and Pit would quietly hide among (and maybe even in) the trees, keeping an eye on Samuel, Candid, and I.  They would intervene if necessary.

I was just hoping it wouldn't be....

Candid placed a hand on my shoulder, pulling me from my thoughts.  "Are you ok?"

I sighed.  "I'm...I'm fine.  Let's go."

Candid waved his hands at the others and they scattered off, disappearing into the trees, though not too far from the road.

I took a deep breath and walked out into the open road, Candid and Samuel following behind.  Candid stuck to my left side and Samuel my right.

I gazed upon the structure ahead of me with slight awe.

It was a huge wall of budder blocks, protecting the rest of the Budder Kingdom.  I noticed something in the sky past the wall, high in the air over some part of the kingdom.  It looked like a budder ingot.  At the same height to its left a ways, there was a nether star, and to the ingot's right, a zombie head.

I recognized those symbols from whenever I got a chance to read.

That ingot was the symbol of the Sky army.  The nether star was the Space army.  The zombie head was the Dead army.

I took a shuddering breath and walked forward, trying not to shake visibly.

I was extremely terrified.

I was practically walking into enemy territory.  Well, possibly enemy territory if something goes wrong....

Which, uh, it probably will knowing my luck....

The road we walked along led straight up to the gates to the kingdom.  Well, probably one of the gates.  Knowing kingdoms of this size, I'd say there are at least 4 gates, one in each cardinal direction.

What?  I read books!

I saw 4 guards around the gate.

One had what looked like a cloak on.  I'd hazard a guess that that's a sorcerer.

One was clad in full iron armor with an iron sword.  I'd say that is probably their main melee fighter.

One had wings sprouting from their back.  Someone to fly off to the castle to warn of possible enemies?

The last one looked fairly normal compared to the others.  That person actually worried me the most.

They clearly had spotted me as they were glancing my direction and talking with each other.

Then, the iron-clad one, the "normal" one, and the probable-sorcerer walked towards us.  The person with wings stayed back, though they kept a watchful eye.

As we neared each other, I noted that the "normal" one and the iron-clad one were male and the probable-sorcerer was female.  The winged one looked to be female, as well....

We stopped a few blocks from each other.  I took note of their stance to see if they felt threatened.

The iron-clad male looked a little tense, but his sword was sheathed.  He had an iron sword crossed with a bow symbol on his cheek.  I think that was the Benja army.  The probable-sorcerer girl looked relaxed, though she seemed ready to fight at any moment if needed.  She had a tome book on her cheek, confirming that she was a sorcerer from the Magic army.  The "normal" one watched us warily, though his eyes kept darting to the surrounding treelines.  I was a bit confused until I saw the cobblestone block on his cheek.  The Dood army, or the army of stealth.

Oh no.  I hope he doesn't find the others that are hiding among the trees....

The iron-clad male looked between Samuel and Candid.  "Hello....  Do you have business in the Budder Kingdom...?"  He asked, though he seemed confused.  He probably saw the S/A on their cheeks and didn't know what they meant.

I bit my lip before speaking.  "Um, yes.  It's extremely urgent and I need to see Team Crafted immediately."

The iron-clad male looked between his...friends, I guess.  "Who are you?"

"I'm Y/N, leader of the N/A army.  It's a small army compared to the likes of yours, but that's not relevant right now.  I really need to speak with the team."

"Why won't you show us your face?"  The female asked suddenly.

I tensed up slightly.  "Um...personal reasons...."

The "normal" male kept looking towards the treeline on my right.  The place where my N/F would be hiding.  "Don't forget to ask, Matt...."

The iron-clad male, Matt, sighed.  "I'm sorry to ask this of you, but could you show us your eyes, at least?  It's...protocol for newcomers."

I took in a silent sharp breath.

Frick!

I took a step back.  "O-On second thought, maybe seeing the team isn't that urgent...."

I gave a look to Candid and Samuel and we turned to walk away.

"Wait, Miss!"  Matt called, walking after us.

I froze, groaning lightly under my breath.  "Notch dammit all.  This is not going to end well...."  I muttered.

I slowly turned around, looking back at them.  Matt had his arms crossed, though his right hand was a bit lower down his front, pointing towards the sword.

He was ready to strike at any moment.

The female's fists were clenched and she looked worried.  The other male kept looking at the right treeline.

"Miss...why won't you show us your eyes?"

I gulped.  "B-Because you'll freak out...."

The female's fists glowed a little.  The color of green.

I heard shuffles from the right treeline and silently begged my N/F to try to stay silent.

Remember, though, I had a trained ear to the slightest of sounds, so the male might not have been able to hear it.  I didn't know, though.

Matt watched me warily.  "Miss...please remove your sunglasses."  He ordered.

Candid bent down to my ear and whispered frantically, "Y/N, if you let Ren fly you out, then we can book it back to the base without them following.  We can find a different way in...."

I whispered back, though I knew they'd be even more suspicious of me.  "Candid, I absolutely HAVE to speak with Team Crafted and soon.  If I have to do it in chains behind bars, so be it.  I don't care how I do it, I just have to."

Candid straightened back up, though I knew he wasn't happy with my words.

He and I also knew that I might not even be in that situation.

I might die.

WE might die.

I steeled myself and pulled down my hood, my hair falling out of it.  They stared at my hair and face with wide eyes.

I closed my eyes and reached up, pulling off the sunglasses.

I knew they were waiting for me to open my eyes, so I did.

I looked directly at Matt.

He gasped and the winged female near the wall prepared to take off.

The female gasped, as well, and her hands immediately lit up with magic.  She pointed her hands at us and said, "Reducite!"

Samuel, Candid, and I flew back several blocks as the winged female took off, flying towards the castle.

I landed on the ground kinda hard, knocking the breath out of me for a moment.

"Y/N!!"  Gem exclaimed as she ran from the treeline.

The others followed behind her, coming to my side.

I pushed myself to my feet.  "Guys, get back to the base!  You don't need to fight them!"

"Y/N, we're associated with you now, and they think you're Herobrine.  I don't think they'll let us go so easily...." Samuel muttered as he pulled out his sword.

"Don't hurt any of them.  At best, they'll take us captive.  However it happens, I must speak with the team."

"And at worst...they'll kill us."  Pit sighed.

Matt had his sword out and the Dood male had a dagger in each hand.  The female was looking to Matt, as was the Dood.

"Don't kill them.  Sky and the team are going to teleport here and handle this themselves.  We just need to keep them occupied."  Matt muttered.  However, both Pit and I caught his words due to Pit's increased hearing and my ability to hear quieter sounds.

Matt looked to me and then ran at me, aiming to hurt really badly.

Samuel stepped in front as I stepped back, blocking the attack.  He and Matt went at it, defending and attacking, though it was clear that Samuel was going easy on Matt.

The rest of the group made a largish circle around me.

The Dood stayed back a bit, watching carefully, looking for an opening.  The female was muttering under her breath, moving her hands in a circular pattern towards Matt.

Suddenly, Matt began to move much faster than before!  Samuel jumped back from an attack and upped his own game to match Matt's speed.

The Dood noticed we were distracted and ran towards us, aiming towards...Gem!

Candid noticed and growled, whipping out his sword and jumping in front of Gem, who had pulled a diamond pickaxe out.

He parried off the attack and swung at the Dood, who had to back away.

I then felt...something strange.  Like...Like when I was around Father.

Around Father, I'd get this...strange feeling of something powerful nearby.  REAL powerful.

It felt like this again, but it wasn't as strong as Father's sense.  It was still pretty strong.

Suddenly, we went from outnumbering to being outnumbered.

The team.

They were surrounding us.

Suddenly, Trent and Bren flew up in the air with a yelp and were thrown to the sides, hitting trees and sliding down them.

Removing them allowed an opening in the sorta-circle.

I put my hands over my mouth and took a step forward towards them.  However, nearly getting stabbed in the chest by Mitch's iron sword made me back off again.

My N/F backed a bit closer to me, but someone did walk up to me, his hands lit with budder-colored magic.

"What the NETHER do you think you're doing here?!"  Sky growled.

Sky...the leader of the Sky army.

The technical king of the Budder Kingdom.

The son of Herobrine.

...And my brother....
