Unfriendly Handshakes
[Aria POV]
For once, I allow the rage to rise completely unhindered. I was done. I have had enough. I was sick and tired of my friends getting hurt, thrown off buildings, and killed.
Killed.
I roar in rage as I throw myself into Entity 303, sending us both sailing off the roof. I could tell he wasn't expecting it as he lets out a grunt. He shifts to try and hit me, but I throw my fist straight into his face. This pushes him away from me a bit, but I feel my ender-half tingle. Within an inch of him touching the lava, he vanishes, but I twirl around and block his hit with my arm. As the heat nears me, I growl and feel my right eye twitch.
Suddenly, we are in the Overworld, and I release a screech as the rain pours down on my skin. Entity takes this time to attack while we are barreling through the sky. His sword slices down, and I raise both arms to block what I could. A massive wound forms on both arms, and I am thrown back into the ground.
The moment I can open my eyes, I spot the white-cloaked figure barreling straight at me. When his fist connects with my gut, I feel my ender-half teleport again just to escape the rain...
And I feel the heat rise against my skin and sand brush against my face.
We are suddenly crashing through one of two towers on a desert temple, diagonally slamming into the main area. I throw a punch at Entity, and he responds by placing his feet against my chest. When his back hits the ground, he uses the momentum to slam me backward. A grunt of pain slips out as my spine cracks against the sandstone, but I swiftly regain my footing and dive forward at the mob. He raises his sword, and I finally summon my own. Just as I near, I lift it and meet his sword halfway. The impact of our blades creates a shockwave that makes the ground give in partially.
'.... that's not good.'
Before I can do anything, Entity 303 lifts his sword and slams down again, successfully shattering the floor beneath us and sending us down into the loot trap. I growl, grabbing his arm and flipping quickly. When I release him, he slams onto the pressure plate, and I see his eyes widen at the hissing that follows. As I get closer, I reach behind me and pull out a shield I had. Entity's eyes widen, and I smirk.
*KA-BOOM*
Despite having the shield, I could still feel the repercussion of the explosion, and it knocks my sword from my grasp. The shockwave jolts through my body as I am launched upward at an alarming speed. However, bright red eyes suddenly fill my vision, and I feel Entity slam into my shield. A scream escapes me when his sword pierces the wood and implants itself in my side. His smirk grows, and I realize we were starting to fall once again towards the sandy ground. My ender-half reacts again out of the instinct to survive, and I finally start to realize something...
And yet, once again, before I can think on it further, we are suddenly split apart by vines as we crash through a massive jungle biome. Entity 303 gets caught in vines, but his sword remains in my hip, and I continue until I feel my body slam into stone, barreling through it without stopping until I am deep in the jungle temple.
I groan, slowly standing. My hands release the shield, and I carefully slide the sword from my side. It was coated with purple liquid, and I try not to cringe at the amount. Sucking in a breath, I slip the blade into my inventory with the shield still attached to it.
'Could come in handy...'
I feel my body slowly starting to heal, and I dared not look at my health bar. I could feel it already, and I needed to focus. He was getting closer, and I needed to be prepared. I know why we keeping teleporting randomly now, and if I could just pinpoint a location in my mind before he-
"I know you are in here..."
'Guess not...'
Just as I turn to face the entryway, his figure fills my vision as he crashes a fist into my face. We fall back down the stairs, and I throw him off. He springs to his feet, then launches at me again. I block his attacks where I can until he leaves himself open, and I go in for the attack. I land a hit on his face, then his gut before he begins blocking properly. With a growl, he grabs my arm and turns to slam me into the wall. A cry of pain escapes my throat, and I barely drop in time to dodge another hit. I come up with my fist, but he seems to anticipate this and grabs my arm.
Swiftly, I twist my wrist and grasp his. I then put all my strength into that arm and try to throw him towards the tripwire that will set off the arrow trap I could see behind the vines down the hall. Unfortunately, he seems to notice this and copies my movement. Except, once I get in front of him, he grabs my other arm and pins them both behind my back. I am stuck facing the dispenser as I step on the string...
But I was ready for that.
Suddenly, we are crashing through the roof of a large building. I hear him yell in shock and pain as his back slams against the wood of the roof, and I twist. Kicking out, I throw him off myself, but the force of the attack propels me in the opposite direction as we slam through the floorboards to the first floor of this large mansion.
Flipping over, I feel my body come to a stop roughly against another wall. Just as I lift my eyes, I duck down to avoid another punch. I then push my body upward with a grunt, swinging my left arm up and nailing Entity in the jaw. He crashes upward through the roof to the second story of the building we are in. Jumping up to meet him, I aim a kick at his gut, but his hands wrap around my ankle. He flips himself over and throws me back through the hole to the first floor. I feel the wind get knocked out of me as the ground caves in slightly.
A new weapon forms in his hand, and he comes down hard. I release a gasp and shift to the left just as his large scythe digs deep into my shoulder. A cry of pain escapes my lips, and I glare into the blood-red eyes of my new enemy. His face holds a malicious smile, and he leans in. "You are just a pest. Nothing more, nothing less." A snarl slips through, and I wrap my hand around his blade. Pulling it free, I slightly push it back, and Entity stumbles before attempting to impale me once more. However, I have just enough time...
My sword slams into my hand and I lock blade to blade with the white-cloaked figure. His smile falters and a growl is released. I only grunt when he pushes down. Finally, I see movement out of the corner of my eye and a smirk plays on my lips. "Well... You're poetic, but not very... observant!" Before he can understand what I meant, a glistening axe comes into view and slams against the side of his head. Entity is thrown to the side and barrels through a wall to the dark oak forest outside.
I suck in a breath of pain, clutching my bleeding wound in instinct. My hip was closed up, and only throbbing now, but my shoulder was gushing. When I crack open my eyes, I find myself staring up at a grey head. I could tell hands were on the hips of the figure, and his dark cloak was a dead giveaway of what he was. His grim smirk was also a giveaway of who he was, but I had already assumed this was his mansion.
At least, this is where I was intending to teleport to anyways.
"So you come back here and completely destroy my home when I let you live and help you defeat 'You know Who'? That any way to treat your comrades?" He extends a hand to me, and I huff before taking it carefully. "Well... I would have knocked, but the bad guy decided on remodeling instead." When I finally lock eyes with him, I can't help but feel a small smile grow on my face. "Thanks for the save, Peter..." He only gives a grim nod before turning to the hole in the wall. "The axe I hit him with held a few enchantments. If you need to go somewhere, now would be the time." I look at him carefully, then nod. "I assume I don't have to ask?" I say, and a smirk makes its way back onto his face.
"As long as you use the door next time."
"Put the damages on my tab."
I feel a twinge in my heart, and I know instantly what it was. My eyes widen as I see the white cloak appear first, almost like a haze. He was behind Peter now, his scythe raised and anger in his eyes.
"That... was your final mistake."
He swings down fast, and I feel my heart drop at the look in Peter's eyes. He was mid-turn to block himself, but I knew he wouldn't make it in time. The blade hits his raised arms, and Peter is thrown to the side with a gruesome wound that was nearly the length of his whole body.
'That's.... It!'
With a rage-filled screech, I charge straight at this enemy. He turns to me just as my pure black fist collides with his face, and I let my ender side take full control. I could tell I was now fully enderman, and I was focusing only on one location now.
'Let's see if you can take the heat.'
As I was hoping, we find ourselves barreling through a corridor of Andrew's nether fortress, crashing straight through it to the ground below. We land just at the edge of the lava, tumbling a bit further and trading punches. Quickly, I throw him off and struggle to regain my footing. He was already making his way back towards me, his steps meticulous and rage-filled. His scythe was out to his side, and I hold my sword up and ready. I could feel the fatigue setting in, but I knew Reginald could sense us clearer now.
'I just hope they get here in time.'
Entity takes no time to launch himself into the air and swing his scythe down. I barely raise my sword in time to block it, and he was already countering by completely switching direction. The blade rakes across my chest, and I crash to the ground near the lava's edge. My body was already starting to revert back, having lost too much blood and expended too much energy with all the teleports. I can barely open my eyes to see him near. In stereotypical villain fashion, he points the scythe at me, the tip of it barely an inch above my heart.
"You finally will fall, as you should have long ago."
I feel the sudden terror sink in, but I feel footsteps. They feel as though they are coming... from behind? However, it seems Entity feels them as well, but he shakes his head. "You are foolish if you think they will be here in time." Without another word, he lifts his scythe and prepares to bring it down...
But he is suddenly blasted from my sight as multiple energy shots slam into his chest. I feel my heart soar as the ground vibrates more. I crane my neck to see a steaming metal suit rise from the lava and stand rather close to my head. I could see clearly through the glass around his head who was in it, and his face held a smirk.
"You came to the wrong Minecraft server, friend."
