A Minecraft Story

Chapter 73

Ruby's Point of View

Alex blocked their path.

Ruby hated Alex with a passion. Alex had tried stealing Steve, and she had been a spy for Mojang.

"Going somewhere?" Alex asked.

"Get out of the way before you get hurt, you traitorous liar," Steve growled.

"Liar? The only thing I lied about was not being a spy for Mojang," Alex replied, feigning innocence.

"And being my childhood friend," Steve said.

"Oh, sweetie," Alex replied, making Ruby clench her fists. "We really were childhood friends. Our parents really were killed. We really were on the run for a year. And Mojang really did capture me. But when they did, they converted me to their ways. They made me a loyal servant," Alex explained.

"You're lying," Steve said, like he didn't want to believe it.

"No, I'm not. Drink your memories. Find out," Alex tempted.

"Not right now, Steve," Ruby whispered. "She's just trying to make it a one on one fight with me."

Steve nodded.

"Friend or not, you're going down, Alex," Steve said.

He and Ruby charged at her.

Jay's Point of View

It was clear the Resistance was winning the battle.

There were only a few Mojang monsters left.

"Get those last few monsters!" Jay shouted.

The bounty hunters were all leaving. Jay didn't care. He and his friends could handle the last couple of monsters.

But the bounty hunters seemed to be leaving in fear.

Jay wondered why as Mitch and Jerome, the last bounty hunters still there, left.

Tommy shot the last Mojang Creeper, and it died.

All Mojang monsters were killed now. Nomis' good Creepers had been killed in the battle. The good Ghast hovered nearby.

Jay, Kirai, Nomis, Tommy, Alice, Simon, and Ghoul met up in a circle.

"Why do you think the bounty hunters looked so scared when they left?" Jay asked.

Everyone shrugged, except Alice. Her eyes widened in terror as she pointed behind Jay.

He whirled around, and what he saw brought back terrible memories.

The Wither.

Captainsparklez's Point of View

Captainsparklez ran up the seemingly endless flights of stairs.

He could sense Steve somewhere nearby.

He passed one floor with a giant dead Slime with a gold helmet on it. He drank a potion of invisibility and crossed the hallway.

Three men were fighting an Enderman with a gold helmet.

Sparklez kept running.

Steve's Point of View

Steve charged at Alex, but she knocked him back with the hilt of her sword easily.

For some reason, this blow hurt a lot.
