The Battle of the Sky Army and the Squid Army: Part 4!


Sky POV—

"Dammit! What the fuck was that, Dawn?!"

Dawn was rolling on the floor, laughing hysterically and wiping away tears running down her cheeks. "Oh my Notch! That is hilarious!"

I was sitting in a pool of slimes, trying to pull myself out only using a weak vine Dawn had thrown me. She had disguised the slimes to look like water and told me that my budder armor and weapons Notch had given me for our wedding was in there. I had jumped in, and I was now slowly sinking in the green slimes. "Why are you doing dis?!"

"Mine-Pranks 3, bitch!" Ethan, Antvenom, Bajan Canadian, and MUDKIPZ came from behind me and knelt next to the pool of slimes. "How do you like it?"

Honestly, I thought it was a good prank, but I was scared to death when I began to sink faster into the pool of slimes. "Get me outta here!"

"No! We like watching the weird faces you make!" Bajan laughed. "You look like Kermit when he gets pushed into the lava in Bodil's parkour courses!"

I was really sinking now, and I felt panic grip my chest. "Seriously, guys! I'm going to shove you all into a pit of TNT and creepers the next chance I get!" I threatened.

Ethan and Antvenom were laughing their heads off, tears streaming down their cheeks. "You face is so red! Ha ha ha ha!"

I started to pull more on the vine Dawn threw me, praying it wouldn't break. Unfortunately, MUDKIPZ started to saw at it with a budder knife. My eyes turned wide with absolute fear. "Don't do dis!"

MUDKIPZ was halfway through the vine.

"DON'T DO DIS!" I yelled, gritting my teeth. "I don't wanna have to punch all these slimes to death!"

The vine snapped, and I began to sink even faster. "FUCK! FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU ALL!" This only brought on even harder laughing. I was now waist deep in the slimes, and no one was making any attempt to help me. I hated them. I hated them all for this.

Then I felt something wrap around my leg and start pulling me lower. I was scared, and I began to claw at the edge of the pool. "Something's got me! Help! Halp! Haaaalp!"

My friends' eyes then turned dark navy blue. They're arms and legs multiplied, growing suction cups and becoming boneless. All of them grew huge and eerie grins, showing off fangs that were yellowed.

"SQUIDS!" I pushed away from the pool edge and kicked desperately.

My friends kept smiling. "Mine-Pranks 3 is brought to by: The Death of Sky and Sky Army! Done by the hands of The Squids!"

The thing that was wrapped around my leg yanked me and I was submerged underneath the slimes. I began to suffocate, unable to get air from anything. I could see a squid tentacle pulling me down into the darkness. I could almost imagine an evil laugh taunting me...


Then I woke up.

I jolted awake in my bed, a cold sweat covering me as I shook. I stifled a scream though, trying not to wake Dawn in the bed next to me. Plus...

I didn't know what. Dawn just said that there was going to be a surprise she wanted to tell me about in a few weeks.

I sighed and got up from the bed, grabbing a jacket and my enchanted budder sword Notch gave me for a wedding present. It was the middle of the winter, and this one had been especially harsh. It was often buckets of snow falling constantly, with very rare events where it stopped for even half an hour. We couldn't often get wood or find any new recruits. It was hard to grow the needed crops for food or breeding animals since they often needed sunlight. But the good news was that The Squids couldn't come out of the water to attack the Sky Army, or The Audience, or the Dwellers, or Team Press Start. Even the hostile mobs didn't want to come out to attack us.

I pulled the hood over my head and began to walk into the heavy snowfall. Everything was covered in a deep blanket of white crystals, making it seem like we were in the Aether. I shivered as the snow made a cold cloak over my shoulders, but I resisted the urge to go back into the main building. I wanted to walk in the forest for a bit. Maybe I could collect some supplies before the real blizzard blasted us. We were starting to run low on food and wood, and I would hate if it meant we had to move locations again. The Sky Army had grown accustomed to the forest biome, and none of us wanted to go back to the trap infested rain forest like before.

The snow lightened up, and I was puzzled. Maybe it was the calm before the blizzard? But I had never seen the snow lighten up that suddenly...

The moon then began to come out from the clouds, only it was fuller and bigger than usual. That's weird, I thought. We may not be able to see the moon through all the clouds, but I know that it should be a new moon tonight. And why is it so big?

It began to turn a shiny silver, and a ten-block ring of snow around me melted to reveal green grass. I freaked out and drew my budder sword, maintaining my attack stance. "Holy squid shit!"


Athena POV—

(A/N Say hello to my personal OC, Athena Muldrow! Named after me!)

I pulled my dark green hoodie back from my face and shut the small silver locket. I walked tall and confident as I approached the throne of Notch. He wore his white robes as usual, a wreath of silver on top of his head. He sat tall and proud, but a grim look was on his face, like he knew something I didn't.

I bowed instead of knelt, knowing that I would have to be brief. "Lord Notch."

He nodded. "You should not have come, Athena. Why do you ignore my warnings?"

I smirked. "Because I know what might really work in destroying The Squids once and for all."

He sighed. "I already know of your intentions, and yet you are stubborn to accept that your plan will kill hundreds."

"I don't care, Lord. I am to travel to the Overworld tonight and tell Sky of my plan," I said with confidence.

Notch stood, fire burning in his eyes. "You dare ignore my orders? This will destroy the Sky Army and all of its alliances! It will not help them! The Squids will inherit the world and destroy anyone who tries to get in their way! You wish to risk all of Sky Army to take down the Squid Army with a plan that will back fire?"

I nodded. "Yes, Lord. I will do whatever it takes."

Notch growled—raising a finger as if to blast me to bits—but Polska materialized beside him about the same size. "Father!" she scolded.

He glared at her angrily. "You dare defend this girl who is to risk Sky Army to destruction?" he bellowed.

Polska shook her head. "No, Father. I do not wish for Athena to try her plan, but I do not want to see you destroying a woman who has useful information we may need."

Del and her siblings teleported next to me, almost like they wanted to defend me. Notch glanced at them, but kept his attention to Polska. "You are the one who ignores my orders most!"

She looked unfazed. "I cannot stay in the Aether for two years and keep my sanity, Father. I disobey for my own good."

The fire in his eyes seemed to flare up for a second, but then died down. "I give you and all of your siblings an early release from the training. You all may leave or come as you please. Only on one condition..." He pointed at me. "You must keep an eye on her. If she dares to try and carry out her plan, I will personally hand her over to Herobrine!"

We all bowed and left. I felt my heart sink. This was my only chance to destroy The Squids for what they did to my little sister, and I blew it...

When we all left the throne room, I pulled out my twin budder daggers and embedded them into the stone walls in anger. iAngel, Zhubox, Del, Sierra, and Kate tried to comfort me. I slapped away their hands. "Go. I'll be fine. I should go home..."

Polska grabbed my shoulder before I could run down the halls to go to the portal I created. "I know for a fact that you don't have a home. You just run for life constantly. After your sister died..." She trailed off, knowing that I would collapse and cry if she kept talking.

I pulled my daggers from the wall and sheathed them. "I don't care. I just want to get away from here. I'd rather go to the Nether than be here any longer." I pushed past her and began to walk towards the portal. "I hope Sky Army can figure out their weakness."

Zhubox and Del looked at each other, then turned to me. "Athena, we may have another plan. It's much safer than your plan, and it has an even better chance of working."

I snapped my attention to them. "Tell me!"

Kate punched Zhubox in the shoulder. "I told you, no."

I blasted to them at an inhuman speed. "Tell me!" I hissed.

May I mention that I'm not completely human? I'm a hybrid; part human, part... I'd-rather-not-talk-about-it-for-now-because-I- think-it-would-be-safer-for-all-of-us. This may sound impossible, but then again, it would be impossible for there to be six children of Notch. Think it's so farfetched now?

iAngel took a deep breath. "It's not safe to talk about it here. You start heading to the Overworld and we'll meet there." She turned back to the throne room with a concerned look. "We'll have to calm Notch down a little first before we leave. If he's in a sour mood, then the Overworld is not going to be treated with a smiling sun and rainbows."

We then heard and felt a deep rumble. "ATHENA!"

Sierra's and Del's turned wide. "Oh no."

"What?" I asked.

Kate and Polska pulled out two halves of a purple stone, handing me both of the halves. "When we say 'go,' put those together. Father just realized what exactly you know and what you are. We'll hold him off for a while, but you need to find a safe place and prepare for the long run."

"Why?" I asked, now scared.

Zhubox started to sweat. "He's going to try and kill you unless we can stop him."

A large explosion blew the doors off of the throne room and Notch stormed out, fire burning in his eyes. He bellowed, raising a finger to blast me to bits—

"GO!" iAngel started to run towards Notch.

I quickly connected the two stone halves, and I vaporized in a puff of purple ender particles.


Sky POV—

I held my sword in front me, ready to kill anything that threatened me. Six human-sized orbs of light surrounded me, shifting and spinning around me.

"Sky..."

"We have come back..."

"Remember us..."

I was scared, following the orbs with wide eyes. They whispered to me, asking me if I remembered or what their names were. I didn't answer, partly because I didn't know, partly because I had a feeling that they weren't human. I kept my sword up, trying not to shake in fear.

"AAAAAAA—! OOF!" Something big fell in front of me.

I panicked, yelping and tackling the thing. I pinned it to the snow-covered ground, raising my sword in case I needed to kill. I saw that it was a girl. She had spiky black hair, a dark green hoodie, pink camo jeans held up by a leather belt, combat boots, and fingerless gloves. Her eyes were a storm grey, shifting colors every second. She had two budder knifes strapped to her, ready to use and kill with. She glared angrily at me, clenching her jaw with anger. But when she saw me, she softened up.

"Sky?"

I grit my teeth. "Who the fuck are you? You work for The Squids? Should I kill you here and now?"

The orbs started to come closer, and the girl cursed. "Let me go. You do not want to be captured by them!"

I growled. "Why should I? Risk the fact that you may be a recruit for The Squids?"

She motioned to the budder knifes that were at her belt. "Would a Squid carry around weapons like that?"

I let her go without further hesitation. We both went back-to-back, brandishing our weapons like a blazing fire. I glanced back at her. "You know about these things?"

"They killed my little sister."
