Chapter 31: Storming the Kingdom
Sky's P.O.V
"You sure this is it?" I ask. Seto nods. I cross my arms feeling the rain hitting me. Thunder crackles across the sky as I see Seto stop suddenly. He looks around.
"He's..watching us. He's somewhere." Seto said quietly. I uncross my arms and my eyes scan the area.
"Where?" I ask quietly. I hear a twig snap.
"He has another collar for one of us. I can sense it." Seto said quietly. I clench my fists a little. I close my eyes and kneel down. "Find him Sky." I put my hand on the wet forest floor and focus. I take a deep breath as my vision appears to be looking at a bush and then at Seto and I. I turn my head towards it. I open my eyes and smile a little.
"Behind the bush to your right." I said. Seto's hand glows a faint purple color.
"Purtate la vittima fora di machjà." Seto said as something goes directly to the bushes and pulls Eric out of them. Eric falls face first into the mud. I get up. Behind he could get up I put my foot on his back pushing him back down.
"Awww. Brine, Sorcerer. Can't you take a joke?" Eric asks. I grab the back of his jacket and pull him up to his feet. Eric looks at me. "Brine...um.."
"A joke? Was that what you called it?" I snapped. Eric flinches slightly. I let go of Eric. "Don't try to run away Eric, we'll haunt you down and this time won't let you speak." Eric takes a step back from me
"Um..why would I run?" He asks sounding scared.
"Why are you scared, Eric?" Seto ask.
"At least I can remember who I am unlike your friend here." Eric said to Seto. I clench my fists. A spell hits Eric causing him to stumble backwards and his arm is burnet.
"Be happy we didn't take Ender with us. He might have a few words to say to you Eric." Seto said changing the subject. I grab my sword off my back. I just want to kill him. Seto looks at me. "Discussion over." He backs away. I grab Eric's arm.
"No. No!" Eric yelled. I stab the sword into his chest and Eric screams.
Seto's P.O.V
*A week Later*
I smile a little looking at a map of the realm. We got this map off of Eric.
"So we are gonna go free them? And then what?" Kris asks.
"Then we free Minecraftia. It's simple." Jason said.
"No it's not." Ashley said. I look at everyone.
"You guys don't have to join us, but we need some to free the captives while we break into the Kingdom and take out a certain someone." I said.
"We'll split up. When are we finally doing this?" Ian asks.
"Tomorrow, the next day. When do you feel like heading into battle?" Sky asks as he puts his feet up on the table.
"Well I'm not the fighting type, so I can stay here and look after the temple." Kyra said.
"Alright. Anyone else?" I ask.
"I'll stay with her." Ashley said.
"Okay. Sky your plan." I said. I look at Sky.
"What?" He asks.
"The plan dude. Make one." Ty said. Sky crosses his arms.
"Okay fine. Ummmm.....got it. Here is what we are gonna do." Sky started....
Ashley's P.O.V
*Few Hours Later*
I hug Mitch before he goes out the door. I feel his arms around me.
"Be careful." I said. We let go of each other.
"Awkward." Jerome said passing by us. Mitch rolls his eyes.
"I will. Keep an eye on the place." He said. I nod. He heads to the door but stops. "One more thing." He turns around and kisses my cheek. I blush. He smiles at me. "Okay. See ya later." He leaves. I stay there frozen with my hand on my cheek.
"Darling if you wanted to kiss him back, that was your chance." Kyra said. I look at Kyra and blush. I smile as she walks down the hallway.
Jerome's P.O.V
"Okay that portal right there should get you near the facility. You got the stuff you need to break in." Ty said. The teams were split to this. Farla couldn't come because of well...Aether security. We don't want anyone knowing about the Aether.
The Captives: Mitch, Ellie, Seto, Jason, and I.
The Kingdom: Quentin, Sky, Ty, Kris, and Asada.
Kind of fair.
"It better. I don't want to end up in another ocean." Jason said.
"Oh you loved it." Seto said. I smile a little.
"Okay. See y'all on the other side!" I yelled jump through the portal.
Sky's P.O.V
I land on my feet in the courtyard against the castle wall. I run behind a tree. It's the dead of night and there are little guards out tonight. I need to get inside the castle. I look at the castle guard tower. I also need to get in there. But how exactly? I draw out my sword and hold is loosely at my side. I crouch down a little. Guards are looking in the direction of the steps up to the tower entrance. I could get rid of them but I don't want to be noticed....yet that is. The other team going for the captives is gonna meet us here in the castle. So we got to get inside the throne room before then. I see the guards turn around and I run up the steps and slip inside the tower. I hear laughing up a spiral of stone steps. That's bad. They'll have the advantage for high ground if I end up on a fight on those steps. I need to avoid that. I hear the door open and I hide quickly. I pull my hood up and over my eyes. No noise. No sound. I hear footsteps come down the steps. I set my head back against a wooden chest and close my eyes, listening.
There are two doors. Both going to different parts of the castle wall. Locking one would give me less guards to deal with, but they would probably sound the alarm that something is up. Both doors need to stay open then. But if they somehow sound the alarm, one door locked and the other open for escape. But which one? I skip out on listening to their conversation cause all their talking about is what happened last night. I put my feet under me and my fingers on the stone floor. I peek over the chest a little. Five guards, and no doubt more up top. Four swordsman and one archer. The archer must go down first. I see one walking towards the chest. I put my head down. Or this guy goes down first. They open the chest. I put my sword gently on the ground and pull out a knife. The chest closes and the guy stands up. I stand up and stab the guy in the back of the throat. I kick him down and grab my sword. I jump over the chest as the other guards just realize what happened. An arrow comes pass me and I cut down the archer. I hit a sword out of a guard's hand and put my sword in their chest. I pull it out and cut down the other two. I take a deep breathe and look at the mess. It's a little messy. I put my sword away. I grab the bow and arrow. I walk up a few steps and almost to the top. I aim an arrow at one of the three guards. I release and it goes into their head. I drop the bow and grab the guard. I gently go down the steps without the other two guard's noticing. I lay the guy down.
"Umm...where did Walter go?" A guard asks. I jump up the steps and go into their room and hide. This is almost too easy. Quentin, Kris, and Asada are dealing with the other three towers. Ty is waiting up ontop of the castle. I'm about to move when the alarm goes off.
"Sh*t." I whispered. Either that was me or one of the other three. The guard start going down the steps. I pull out my sword. I go down the steps and grab one of the guards shoulders and stab it in their back. The other guard stops and turns around. I pull it out and push them to the side off the stairs. The guard widens their eyes.
"Herobrine?" He asks. Wait what? Herobrine? I hit their sword out of their hands and kick them down the steps. I jump down as he hits the floor. I stab my sword into his back killing him. I pull it out. No one noticed here. Must have been one of the other three.
Ty's P.O.V
Well...Kris set off the alarm. I guess plan b. Just go start to the King and no sneaking inside. I fly into the air and fly over to Kris who is surrounded. I land on the castle wall behind the guards. My hands glow purple and my claws come out. I'll have to clean up this mess for her.
Kris's P.O.V
I close my eyes as I hear the guards screaming. I back into the side of the wall and open my eyes once it stops. I look at the guards dead. I meet eyes with Ty.
"Sorry.." I said. I look over at the other towers. They are done but I screwed up. I suddenly see Sky next to me making me jump.
"It's fine. Let's just find the throne room now." Ty said. Ty grabs my hand and we go into the air. I watch Sky jump off the castle wall and land on his feet on the ground. He is instantly swarmed at by guards.
"Sky-"
"Don't worry about him. He can handle himself." Ty said. We fly over to Asada. Ty takes her hand and finally go over to Quentin. We land and I jump onto Ty's back while he holds the others up by their hands. We fly into the air and I see dozens of guards dead on the courtyard ground.
"Geez he works fast." Quentin said. I put my arms around Ty's neck as I almost fall. I see the castle doors opened. We fly inside and I see guards dead too. Ty drops Asada and Quentin. He lands before he drops me. Sky comes out from behind a pillar with blood staining his clothes and skin.
"Is that yours?" Asada asks Sky. Sky looks at himself.
"Ohh. Well. Umm. No it's not cause I feel no pain." Sky said. Sky puts his bloodied sword on his shoulder. We run through the castle, cutting down every guard we see. We eventually find the throne room and guards are protecting the King who is on his throne.
"Who dares.....the guardians?" King asks. A black hole appears next to me and out comes the other team.
"I see you made it." Jason said.
"How about on your end?" Quentin asks.
"They are all free and all workers there dead." Seto said.
"What did you do?" The King asks.
"First lets deal with the guards and then the King." Jerome said quietly.
Mitch's P.O.V
I hold my hurt arm a little as they take out the last of the guards. Sky gets up to the throne and puts his sword on the King's throat. I smile a little and put my bow around me. Asada looks at me. I got my arm burnet in the explosion at the captives site.
"Are you okay?" She asks coming to me.
"I'm fine. Just a burn." I said. Asada takes my arm. I flinch every time she touches my arm.
"Your entire forearm is burnet." She said.
"I'm fine." I said.
"Why don't you just kill me already?" The King asks.
"Why did you decide to take over your own Kingdom? It's already yours." Jason said.
Sky's P.O.V
I grab the King's shirt and push him back in his seat as he tried to get up. The King looks at me. He smiles slightly.
"So is this the missing Prince of the Nether? Your just like him you know. How you fight is just like him." He said. I push my sword against his neck.
"Don't make me cut off your head. Where is the original royal family? Where are you keeping them?" I ask him. He looks at me.
"I would tell him what he wants to know. Brine doesn't have much patience." Ian said.
"Down in the dungeons." He said. I look at the others. Jerome, Quentin, Ian, and Kris leave running down the hallway. I look back at him.
"Let's wait shall we, see what the real King will have to say." I said.
Ian's P.O.V
I jump down the steps to the dungeon. I've known the royal family for years since I was a captain of the guard myself. I run into guards. I grab the keys off them and toss them behind me. Kris grabs them as I put my knife in a guard's shoulder.
"Go Kris go!" I said. I watch Kris run away. Jerome and Quentin got held up to kill guards. He grabs me and we turn around and pushes me against the wall. I groan slightly feeling a sharp piece of material stab into my back. I pull out the knife from their shoulder. He kicks me and I grab his arm. I twist is around and kick behind his ankle and he falls on the ground. I go to kill him but an arrow hits me. I scream and fall backwards and hit my head against the floor.
"Ian! No!" I hear Kris yell. Pain bursts through my head and my vision blurs. I see the guard stand back up. I put my hand on my head. I try to get up but I can't. I think I got a concussion from that. The guard smirks. He pulls out his sword. He goes towards me as a blade suddenly comes out of his stomach. Kris? Was that her? Once the guard falls dead on the ground I see the Prince standing before me.
"You okay?" He asks coming down next to me. I don't answer but he puts my arm around his shoulders and helps me stand up. He pulls something out if my back cause I scream in pain. The King, Princess, younger Prince, and Kris come into sight. Kris takes my other arm. I feel Kris's hand in the back of my head.
"Blood, come on let's get to the throne room." Kris said.
Ty's P.O.V
"Ender!" Someone yelled down the hallway. That was probably Kris. I fly down the hallway tillI see them all. The royal family looks shocked and surprised. Not as much as the Princess screamed and hide behind the King. I smile a little.
"Can you carry Ian for us?" Jerome asks.
"Fine." I said. I land on my feet. I take Ian off Jerome's and the Prince's hands. I fly into the air and down the hallway. I set Ian down to lay on the floor with Asada. The others get here.
Sky's P.O.V
"I told you that your downfall would come Brian." The real King said. I lick my cracked lips.
"Can I kill him yet?" I ask.
"Yes. Go ahead Brine." The King said. I smile. I push the sword through his neck, decapitating him. I grab his head and push his head to the side letting it roll.
"You enjoyed that too much." Jerome said. I look at Jerome. That's really none if his busy. I get off the throne and walk next to Seto.
"Are they all dead?" The King asks. Everyone looks at me.
"Only the traitors, I can tell when they were loyal to you." I said. The King looks at Quentin, Jerome, and then Ian.
"You three can have your positions back if you want. But higher ranked." The King said. I look at Jerome.
"You want him to help you?" Ty asks.
"Watch it dragonboy." Jerome growled. What did Brian mean when he called me Prince of the Nether? I cross my arms and look at the throne.
"Thank you all so much for saving us. Even through it was three centuries ago-"
"I have a question. How long were you in that cell?" Jason asks.
"We were not in the castle at first, we were in a safe place for centuries, waiting till they finally found us two weeks ago. But thanks to you guys we have our home back." The King said. Doesn't make sense to me. I put my sword back in it's sheath. I walk pass them.
"What's up with him?" A Prince asks.
"Don't mind him." Quentin said. They continue talking. Wait now that the job is done, Ty is gonna go.
