The five separated when they raced into the city, Jerome and Mitch directed toward one of the tallest towers that was still standing by Ty as Sky and True ran off together. True and Sky went toward the center of the city, both cutting down any squids that dared to go toward them and protecting any civilians they could. Towers and small businesses crashed down all around them. At some point they were near a weak looking building that was tilting ever so slightly to the side, fighting off a large horde of squids.

Sky felt right at home as he dodged a squid's sword, his own sword coming up and chopping off their tentacle that held it. The squid screamed, but the sound died away off as Sky stabbed them through their chest and pierced their lungs. He dodged underneath another sword that a squid tried to swing at him from before, glancing behind his shoulder to see True stabbing them in the back before cutting their head off. The two briefly looked into each other's eyes and nodded before they kept battling.

True spun his katana quickly, his light blue eyes darting between the two squids that were running toward him from both sides. At the last second he leaped into the air, letting them collide into each other. He landed on one that had fallen, slashing his katana through their throat as he watched the orange blade turn red. He back flipped off of the corpse, landing behind the squid that was trying to get up. He slammed his foot down on their stomach, making them fall back down with a wheeze before True stabbed them through the heart.

"Dammit!" Sky yelled as he got slashed across his shoulder, tearing his shirt and making the severed cloth float to the ground. Some blood ran from the shallow cut, and as Sky stabbed the squid who had gotten the hit in. True glanced over at his shout and cursed before he kicked an upcoming squid away, reaching into his knapsack and rummaging around for a few short seconds before he pulled out a roll of gauze.

"Here!" He tossed it to Sky, who caught it and backed up from the fight. He wrapped the gauze around the bleeding cut and, seeing that his other hand was too busy holding his sword and the other was keeping it from unraveling, used his teeth to tug on it to tighten it.

He grabbed his sword again and ignored the pain as he leap back into the fight. About ten minutes passed before True realized there was a whole other horde of squids were coming, and that he and Sky were not even halfway done with the first one that had ambushed them. Sky was wincing with every sword stroke he used, and True knew that was only reopening the wound even more. "Sky, there's too many coming!" True growled as they began to get backed into a corner.

"Shit... Okay, come on, we need a vantage point!" Sky said before he turned and ran into the tilting building. True glanced at the building, groaned, before he ran in after him. Before the squids could get in he slammed the door shut and stepped back as Sky pushed a desk that was on its side in front of the door. "Come on!" Sky shouted before they ran up the stairs toward the top.

"I hope the others are having better luck then us." True muttered as he heard the squids banging on the blocked door.

Jerome was stabbing a squid in the stomach when he heard the running footsteps behind him. He tore the blade of his weapon out of the squid, kicking their falling body away and spinning around to see a squid right behind him, raising their sword. Jerome, for a split second, thought he was going to die with the squid got an arrow in the side of his head. Jerome looked up at as the squid fell to the ground to see Mitch waving at him from the top of the building before he fired another arrow at a squid chasing after a civilian. The civilian looked up in shock, and from where he was and his sharp vision he could tell what they looked like.

They were female with short brown hair with pink tips and dark brown eyes with thick black glasses on her nose, wearing a yellow shirt with black pants. She pulled out a camera and got a picture of Mitch mid-shot before she ran off again, and Jerome furrowed his eyebrows with confusion before he dodged a squid's sword. He kicked them away before throwing his ax forward, smirking as she landed right between their eyes. He ran to their fallen body, but before he could pull out the ax another squid jumped at him, shouting angrily at the death of their comrade. Jerome leaned to the side quickly, watching as their sword fell inches from where he had been, cutting off a few tips of his fur before he grabbed them and flipped them onto their back.

He stomped his head down on the squid's head, crushing it as brains and black blood went everywhere. He tore his ax out of the first squid's head with a sickly sound, spinning the blood dripping weapon before he slashed at an incoming squid. They blocked it with their sword, pushing Jerome's blade away before trying to stab him in the side. Jerome blocked it, sparks flying in the air before Jerome kicked the squid in the shin. They dropped their sword with a wheeze, and half a second later they didn't have a head. "MITCH!" Jerome roared up at the building. Mitch looked down at him as he released another arrow. "HOW MANY ARROWS DO YOU HAVE LEFT?!" Mitch glanced behind his shoulder, counting the arrows in his quiver quickly before he held up ten fingers. Jerome growled slightly. Mitch was going to run out pretty soon, and then what would they do?

Ty ran through the dark alleys of New Mine City, holding his daggers in his hands tightly as his heart thumped in his chest. He wasn't used to all the sounds around him, the screams and the blood and all the dying... He shook his head and ran faster. Sky was depending on him to end this battle and save all them, he had to find the leader before all the city was burnt to the ground or worse. Where would the leader even be? Ty thought for a few minutes as he kept running before he suddenly thought of something. With the way Sky told him his instructions, that rule probably applied in the 1700s, and if the squids hadn't fought since the Sky Army... The leaders and Sky probably had to be heavily guarded and in a fairly seclusive area where they had a lower chance of dying.

Unless the squids were cocky and didn't think anyone would fight against them, since the Sky Army no longer exists. Ty furrowed his eyebrows. Which one would it be? He had to find out quickly, the battle's faith was in his hands. He looked around, skidding to a stop before he quickly climbed up a building using the fire escape. He pulled himself onto the top, running to the edge and looking out. He cringed. Everything was on fire and cracked and uprooted pavement from bombs were everywhere, not to mention bodies, some squid and a lot human. So many defenseless people... Life wasn't fair, but then again Ty had always known that. He closed his eyes. Think, Ty, think...

Suddenly he felt like someone was behind him, but before he could spin around his vision shifted, and it was as if he was watching a movie. He saw a squid sitting on a white horse on a hill beside facing the battle, another squid that was holding a flag standing beside his horse. Ty's eyes widened before his vision returned to normal and he stumbled back before falling onto his behind. He breathed heavily, his eyes wide as he looked around quickly. How did that even happen?! He shook his head after a few moments. Now wasn't the time to wonder. That bastard was hiding away so they would win. Somehow Ty had been able to see where he had been, and he knew exactly where that hill was.

Time to find him and haunt him down.

True and Sky burst onto the roof, looking out onto the battle as they tried to find an escape from the building. "What do we do?!" True shouted.

"I don't know!" Sky violently swung his arm, then yelled out in pain as he grabbed his bandaged area.

"Be careful you idiot!" True yelled as he saw the already blood soaked gauze become even more red. "You're going to end up bleeding out!" Sky grunted in reply before True suddenly took note of some squealing in his knapsack. His eyes widened. "Jeffery!" Sky looked at him with confusion as True took off his knapsack, and his face deadpanned as True pulled out a squirming piglet.

"What, do you carry around your lunch?!" Sky shouted, and True covered Jeffery's ears as he glared at the Commander.

"Shut up! He's my pet!"
"You have a pet pig!?"
"For the past day, yes!"

Before Sky snap a snarky reply the roof door was suddenly kicked down. True gasped and stuffed Jeffery back into the pack, Sky and True standing back to back as the squids surrounded them, trapping them.

"If I go down you're going down with me!" True shouted.

"What?! How is that fair?!" Sky snapped as he kicked a squid away from them roughly.

"You brought us up here!" True shouted at him angrily, but Sky was only half listening. He was staring at the billboard that had fallen a few moments ago and was suddenly frozen mid air with a purple aura around it. He was just able to see a hooded figure with their arm reached toward the sky standing underneath it, a crowd of fleeing citizens rushing past them. Sky's eyes widened. That magic... He knew that magic.

The figure wore a purple and gray outfit with a gleaming creeper necklace around his neck, and as a gust of wind from a nearby bomb came through his hood fell away. He had puppy brown eyes and slightly pale skin, and as Sky stared the puppy brown eyes flickered toward him. Sky waved his arm quickly, and the man blinked before he furrowed his eyebrows. He swung his arm around, and Sky saw the billboard spinning toward them. He grabbed True and pushed them down to their knees, True shouting out as the billboard spun across the air mere inches from their heads. It knocked every squid off the building as it spun past before it crashed into a building and the billboard and the building both fell to the ground.

"What the hell was that?!" True shouted as Sky ran to the side of the building, looking down at the figure that still stood where they had been. They locked eyes and Sky felt a chill run down his spine. Those eyes... He knew those eyes. The resemblance was remarkable, that had to be... He turned and ran down the stairs that led from the roof, True shouting before he followed him quickly. Sky burst out of the building before there was a flash of purple and the person was standing a few feet away from him. Blazing golden and soft brown met and Sky stopped, staring. True ran out and nearly ran into Sky, skidding to a stop. "What are you doing?!" He snapped before he noticed the other person, and he stiffened. He glanced at Sky. "... Who's that...?"

"... What's your name?" Sky said slowly, and the corner of the male's lips perked up.

"Seto Sorcerer." Sky stopped breathing. "And you're Sky Does Minecraft. My father told me about you."

"So you know what we have to do." Sky said, and Seto smiled as he nodded. "So will you join us?"

"What?!" True snapped.

"Yes." Seto said quietly, and Sky smiled slightly as True glared at him.

"That's it, that is it!" True yelled. "I'm going to find a spaceship and I'm going to leave and I'm not going to deal with you humans anymore! Fuck my destiny! The Universe can go fuck herself!" Half a second later a bomb exploded right next to them. True was instantly surrounded by darkness, and he held his breath. Really?! He told the Universe to fuck off and this was what he got?! Was that really needed?!

Then he realized he had his eyes closed.

When he opened them he was still standing beside Sky, but a purple forcefield that thumped like it was a beating heart was around them and Seto. Seto lowered his hand and the forcefield disappeared, and that's when True saw he had something in his hand.

It was a fan, like a Japaneses fan, only where the paper usually was there was golden daggers with purple material banding them together to keep them from falling. He flicked his wrist and the fan closed, spinning the weapon once before sliding it into a sheath that was on his hip. "Lets not chitchat, I'd rather not do that again." Seto said. "My energy is already running low." Sky nodded.

"We should go to Mitch and Jerome, Mitch doesn't have infinite arrows." Seto raised an eyebrow.

"You already have them."
"Yes, and Ty too."

"Oh, must be rough."
"You have no idea..."

Then the two ran off, and True let out a yell of frustration before he followed after them.

Mitch had just fired his last arrow when Sky and True showed up with someone knew. He saw Jerome point to the newcomer, and Sky roughly pointed at the building Mitch was standing on the roof of in reply. The group disappeared into the building and was soon on the roof together. "Now can you tell us who the hell this guy is?!" Jerome shouted as he gestured toward Seto roughly.

"You haven't told them?" Seto asked Sky with surprise.

"I haven't exactly had the time." Sky said as he gestured around them.

"Well, now is a good time as any."
"Not until Ty is her-"
"I'M ALIVE BITCHES!"

Sky's face deadpanned as Ty burst onto the roof, cheering loudly as he pumped his fists into the air. Seto blinked. "Oh my..."

"Gah! You guys can't deny it, all this fighting is so much fun! The adrenaline is amazing!" Ty laughed.

"Ty, did you kill the leader?" Sky growled, and Ty nodded enthusiastically before he held out something.

"The little asshole was hiding in the outskirts where there was no one around!"

"How did you find him?"

"Oh really weird story-"

"Now isn't the time!" Sky shouted as he grabbed the object Ty was holding out. "We need to talk!" He looked down at the object in his hand and stopped. "... The fuck is this." True rolled his eyes.

"A walkie talkie genius." True said. "Now can you please explain to us what you and Seto, who we just met that you seem to damn intent on joining us, are talking about?! What are you keeping from us?!" Seto looked at Sky, who sighed before he looked at everyone. Just as he opened his mouth, the walkie talkie buzzed to life in his hand. Everyone froze as a voice buzzed through the object.

Commander Cain to General Leo, what's the status update?

The voice snapped once again after a few moments passed and everyone realized something. Commander Cain. He had to be the Commander of the Squids. They were listening to the voice that belonged to the man who had planned this attack and launched it. Ty felt anger boil in his chest and instantly True grabbed his arm, as if he knew Ty was ready to grab that walkie talkie and curse the squid out. Sky stared down at the walkie talkie as the thought settled in his mind.

Commander Cain to General Leo, what is the status update?

Sky stared down at the walkie talkie as everyone stared at him, wondering what he was going to do.

Then Sky pressed the button on the walkie talkie and brought it up close to his mouth.

"This is Commander Sky Does Minecraft speaking. Hello Cain, enjoying that safe base of yours?" Sky's voice was low and filled with burning anger that he was somehow controlling. There was no response for a few seconds as Sky released the button, then he pressed it again and he continued. "Do you feel safe, Cain? Do you feel powerful? Do you feel certain of your moves and your plans?" Sky didn't wait for a response this time. "Well forget about that feeling, because I just shattered it. Your kind has gotten even more disgusting and cowardly as the years have gone by, attacking a defenseless and unprepared city and slaughtering so many innocent people. I will avenge those people and I will kill you and every single one of your soldiers." His golden eyes gleamed and Ty felt a bit of fear run through him.

In his time so far with the man, he never truly realized that this was the man who Commander an army that once had thousands and thousands of soldiers and most likely fought in battles every day. True wrapped an arm around him and pulled him close as he felt the male lock up out of fear, ignoring the blush that came to the smaller human.

"You think you're safe Cain? You aren't. I'm back, and I'm more pissed than ever." Sky dropped the walkie talkie and slammed his foot down on it, and the object was instantly crushed underneath his foot.

Blazing light blue eyes bore into sea green eyes that stared down at the walkie talkie in his hand. "It doesn't sound like you're under control." Derek mused, the owner of the light blue eyes as he sneered at the Commander. He pushed the piece of paper, the contact, that was between them closer to Commander Cain. "You know you cannot win without my clan and I. These are my terms, accept them or we will never have another meeting again." Commander Cain stared at Derek before staring down at the paper, before he glanced at the walkie talkie.

Derek sneered as he watched Cain sign the paper a few moments later.

"Congratulations, Commander Cain." Derek's eyes glowed brighter. "My clan and I are now on board."
