The Ones Who Survived - An MCYT fanfic

Ch 21: Bdubs

I kinda planned the chapter after this one?

Not this one?

Except a couple of things about this one.

hmm...

But the next chapter is going to be really good (hopefully)

I don't understand much, but from what I do understand, a watcher at spawn is Not Good.

Which is why I find Etho to stand with while we wait for the apocalypse to begin.

'Do you understand what they're saying?' I ask. He shakes his head.

'I think Scar does... it's galactic. Watcher language.'

I nod, checking I have enough weapons and fireworks in my inventory to run when it attacks.

Just as I'm grabbing a couple of golden apples from my ender chest, the conversation goes silent. I look up to expect the verge of chaos, but Xisuma and the Watcher are still communicating, just silently. 

Until Xisuma steps back and Etho grabs my hand. 

If I thought it was Not Good before, I now know it's The End of the World. 

I'm dragged along as Etho runs, turning as I try to keep up. I hear explosions, but don't want to look.

'Ender pearl! Now!' Etho yells suddenly, then disappears. I chuck my enderpearl as far as I can, catching a glimpse of what's going on as a wait... there's a flash of blue, and I catch a glimpse of what I think is Cub before he disappears. The Watchers have taken him.

And then I'm on top of the mountain where it's safer. I look around for Etho to see him trying to summon some kind of portal out and run over. 

'It's not working... why isn't it working?! They're...'

'The watchers don't want us to leave...' I figure. 

Just as a portal sticks, a watcher appears next to us. I barely hear Etho apologise before he pushes me into the portal, and whatever world it leads to.

I'm instantly winded as I land. I cough, trying to regain use of my lungs as I sit up. A couple moments later Etho collapses through after me, and the portal closes. 

He doesn't move for a second, groaning.

'Etho...?' I crawl over. 'Are you... ok?'

'Yeah... I'm fine...' He struggles to his feet, and I quickly stand, helping him up before looking around.

'What world is this?' I know I recognise it, even before I see the remains of The South Lands in the distance.

'Last Life... First world I found that we'd both be safe in.'

'Double Life?'

'Joel and Impulse aren't here. I don't want... to cause any problems from the soul-binding thing...'

I nod.

'Where do we go?'

'South Lands?' He suggests. The place is a mess: half burnt, half blown up, but it's better than everything else, and I hope they left some things there for us to steal.

'Yeah, that would be good...'

I start to walk over. Etho follows and we quickly find the storage, searching through for some kind of food. The best thing I find is a spyglass and I can't help but grin.

'Hey, Etho.'

'What?'

'Aha!' I zoom in on his face as he laughs.
