It was time. I was going to try out a seed I had heard about, a seed called DEATH. My palms were sweaty and I was starting to think this wasn't such a bright idea. Basically, I felt nautious. I quickly created my world, which I named "DEATH" (a bit obvious), and quickly typed in the forbidden seed... I spawned on an island. Without any trees at all. NOT ONE! I was about to log out when an idea formed. I had one chance at survival. It was a slim one, but a chance none the less, and I was going to take it. I was going to escape. I began swimming, as far as I could, for as long as I could, but nothing. No land in any direction. Night soon fell. I stopped, and viewed my surroundings. Absolutely marvalous. There were what looked like underwater mountains! I could imagine that this place used to be a dry, explorable world, until some mysterious flood came. Suddenly, I saw something underwater. A mirage? Herobrine? What was it? I dove to explore, and found nothing. It must have been the Moon's reflection. Unluckily for me, that's when the pain started. "Oomph' said my character. I was dying! I desperately swam upwards, but it was too late, my fate was sealed. I respawned on DEATH island, now covered with monsters.
Night 1: My Creeper Angel
A creeper exploded. Scratch that, 3 exploded. Then I respawned and more came. It was explosion after explosion, with some skeleton shots and spider attacks mixed in, but it also was a miracle. I was getting blocks. Dirt, Cobble, I even recieved some gunpowder and string! Sure I died, but the deaths did nothing because I would die where I respawned, and I would pick everything up again. After I had a decent amount of loot, I camped out in a dirt shack until morning. I hadnt won much, but I had won hope.
Day 2: A New Hope
Sure, I would have no use for the cobble, the gunpowder, or the string without a workbench or sticks, but it got me thinking. Minecraft. Mining and Crafting. To mine you need tools, for tools you need sticks. For sticks you need wood. For wood you need trees. Crafting. For crafting you need a crafting bench, which leads back to the trees. Without trees, what is Minecraft? Building. You aspire to build, and make the most of the land. That is what I was going to do! I began constructing my patchwork pagoda at once. It was humble, but it used up all my resources, and I was proud. I had shown death, and DEATH that even when they gave me trouble, I was resilient, and still came out strong.
Night 2: The Test
I had completed my mission, and I could have quit there. I didn't. I had one final test for DEATH: could my pagoda keep me safe during the night? I was ready to find out. Really, the result would mean nothing, what's the point of living? Also, it would mean everything, could my one accomplishment on this barren island hold up against the terrors of the night? This was it. The final showdown between me and DEATH. Could my intresting no-wood playstyle overcome the challenge? The night started off quiet. TOO quiet. I checked my difficulty settings. Easy. Easy wasn't good enough, I wanted DEATH to have a fighting chance, so I changed it to Hard. Still, it seemed rather boring. That's when I realised the monsters wouldn't spawn near enough to me if I stayed in the Pagoda! I would be invincible! Monsters don't spawn within a ten-block radius or something! Call it suicidal, but I realized what I needed to do: Open the roof. First, I put a hole at the top. A second later, a zombie fell down to me. I beat it to death, and then... nothing. I opened up the roof 2 blocks more but still, nothing. 4 Blocks more..... NOTHING! I suddenly felt arrows piercing my bare body, and looked up to see a skelly, shooting me from one of the last remaining blocks of roof. I had know the pyramid shap ould make iteasy for mobs to reach the ceiling hole, but that was all pat of the plan. Anyways, the skelly was killing me slowly, so I ran around in circles, hoping to make him confused and continue to miss. I didn't have to keep this up for long, because just then, the sun broke the horizon and I was saved. Victory!
Day 3: DEATH's Trick
I hopped out of the remains of my pagoda, and surveiled the scene. I HAD WON! That's when a "sssssss" sound came from behind me. This wasn't over yet. "Really Sssssteve, you sssilly ssssssucker! DEATH never losssseeeesss! We, the creeperssss sssshall ssssucceed!" Oh god. BOOM! I had one heart left, and five more creepers were running after me. I went commando, and killed them all with my bare hands. It was awesome. If there was adrenaline in Minecraft, that was it right there. Then, I took the gunpowder, threw it on the ground in a big pile, made a pillar of dirt, and jumped on the "ashes" of DEATH. Yes, I was that overjoyed. Luckily, I did not sustain any fall damage, for my health was as low as possible. Yet I had survived. Unfortunately, fate is cruel. Very, very cruel. I had not eaten anything in days, and suddenly, without warning, hunger took my life. And there was the ending screen. GAME OVER. Fo real this time. At least DEATH didn't get me. What got me was LIFE, the cycle. It was my time. I rotted, and returned to the soil. Maybe, just maybe, a tree would grow in my place.
The End
PS: This is a very exagerated version of a true story. Honestly, this happened!
The Server Secret
Chapter 1: N00bly Spawned
I awoke in an epic castle of stone bricks and lamps. There was a gigantic glass window showing some players cutting down trees in a lovely forest. Everyone and everything seemed to glow with a cheerful radiance, and I had not even moved from the spawn point. It seemed to me that even the creepers would leave this place be. I then ask the one question everyone asks eventually, "Where's the town?". A player by the name of "Snugglezerz" replied first. I laughed at the name, the internet never ceases to amuse me. "Just follow the glowstone path! I can meet you at the end and give you the grand tour!" I quickly type a response. "Sure! I would love that!" I say. I follow the glowstone path down the hall, to a great big room with a huge door to the left of it. I start to sprint, and notice outside of the castle, there's a nice beach. This is my kind of server!
After a 4 minute stroll through that nice forest I had seen, I reached a waiting player, obviously Snugglezerz, and I said, "Hello!". "Follow me!" he/she exclaimed, "I have much to show you! This is the town square," I gasp. It's sooo pretty. There is a water fountain, a garden, and several quaint shops. Nothing looked cramped or cheesy. "This is....." suddenly, Snug stopped and looked to the sky. I began to get confused, and when I glanced upwards I saw the problem. There were 5 ghasts overhead. Oh ****.
Chapter 2: City Life
"UM, GHASTS!!!!" I yell. "Ha! Get's em every time. Those are Geoman5's pets, they're harmless!" replied Snug. "Geo is the server host. He's a bit... odd. He's usually a fun kind of guy, but lately, he has build himself a new house, and spends most of his time studying enchantments and potions in it. Creepy as heck." I finally tear my eyes away from the ghasts, and view an equaly creepy site. Geoman5's house is made out of Nether portals. Black and purple fill my screen. Who is this guy?
"Wow.." I say, even though it does not even begin to match how I feel. What kind of server is this? "Here, follow me, there is lots more to see than just this!" says Snug. I look around the town, but all the while, the thought of Geoman5's house haunts me. I guess there is more than just that happy feeling to this server. Waaaay more. "Why don't you make a house over there at Sandy Shades? Use the kit "Starter" for the supplies." Snug then explained he needed to get some shut-eye, and logged off. "What now..." A user by the name of "GaryOakRulz" yelled, "NO BATTLE LOGGING N00B!" I didn't like that *****. I make a pyramid-shaped house out of some sandstone from the kit, and set off to get flowers for the garden out front.
I went back to the forest, this time, off the trail. I saw a nice clearing with some red and yellow flowers around, and began collecting them. "HEY!" yelled GaryOakRulz. When will this guy just shut up? "You're taking MY FLOWERS!!!" "Sorry, I thought this was the wilderness!" I say, feeling very embarassed. "THIS is MY farm! STAY OFF!" Gary yells. He liked to yell. I found flowers elsewhere, and started my journey homewards. As I walked back to my estate, I passed geoman5's creepy house again. A feeling of dread came over me. "So, you're Tom, nice to meet you."
I turn around and see Geoman standing right there. Dracula skin and all. Creepy. "Here, take this, I have no use for it anyways." He drops an iron sword at my feet. "Th-Th-Thanks..." I say. Feeling very creeped out, I pick it up. "I am the server host, and if I hear any unsavory rumors about you, I will not hessitate to call upon my ghasts.... but I doubt that will happen, you seem pretty well behaved. Until then, good-bye!" and with that, he dissapears. I rush home in a state of fear. "That was strange..." I say to myself. "I better watch some Pokemon and eat some popcorn, that should cheer me up!" I get 10 "Lol"s. Too bad I'm serious...
Chapter 3: Call of the Part 1
After watching Pokemon for about 5 hours, I decided to log back on, and try out my new iron sword. It didn't seem too different from normal iron swords, but since it was Geo's.... well, it could have been special. I ran outside my house and tried to kill a sheep with it. Nothing special. I tried to mine dirt with it. Nothing special. I tried it out on a player, with their permission of course. Nothing special. I right clicked on random blocks in a cave, and nothing happened... until I clicked on some mossy cobble. Then something very special happened. A creeper spawned, and didn't blow up. Must be a mod! I checked what mods the server had, and besides the regulars, there was only one other. Mysterypack. I turned to the creeper and tried to kill it, but my sword slashed right through it as if the creeper was some kinda ghost. I ran away, and it followed me. Wierd. I decided to do a little test with my least favorite server member: Gary.
"Hey Gary!" I yelled. "WHAT IS IT! I'm busy cutting down my tree farm lumber, SHEESH." he replied, as normal, in a yell. "I was just wanted to award you a diamond for your services to the server!" I lied. "I guess I could take a break... I shall meet you at your house for the award ceramony!" Boy! He's gullible! He arrived 3 minutes later. My creeper ran up to him and exploded, destroying his entire front lawn. I guess I have phantom warriors....
I could now beat anybody and everybody with ease. I was crowned the PvP master, and even though I was not the best on the server, the more pro players went along with it. Nobody dared fight me... except Gary. He was really, really, mad. "I KNEW IT WAS A TRICK!" he would yell whenever he saw me, "I just wanted to AMUSE YOU!!! I guess BLOWING ME UP WAS YOUR AMUSEMENT!!! I am COMING FOR YOU!!!" He always would make those kinds of threats, but never actually did anything. Then one day I found a sign above my bed saying, "Meet me in the Forest! -Gary" I was scared. Gary was a preeety good fighter, and I had loaned my sword to Snug the other day. Who knew where it was now? Without it, I was a combat n00b. I didn't want to risk my reputation as a boss, so I went anyways. I ran into the dense forest and to my surprise, there was my sword, laying on the ground. I picked it up, and noticed that a little mossy-cobble shrine was erected a few blocks over. NICE! Unfortunately, that was the same spot I had tried to get flowers, Gary's Farm. I saw Gary's username up on a tree, and then I saw blocks of TnT fall from the same spot. I'm Dead.
Miraculusly, the creepers take the blow for me. Not a single block is destroyed. I collect my creeper's drops and with much anger, I pillar my way up the tree with some spare dirt. Finally, I get to Gary's perch, and I knock him straight off with my iron sword. It looks as if my sword also has some neat knock-back. He falls, and he dies, leaving nothing at all... Gary's next comment frightens me. "I have completed my mission" That was the last time I saw Gary. Ever.
I came back to my house, or should I say, my garbage heap. Aparentely Gary had gone all greifer on me, because where my sandstone pyramid used to stand, was a jagged crater with wood (On fire of course) randomly scattered everywhere. I was dumb-founded. The only thing I had left was my sword. "Hey Snug, you got a nice house, mind sharing? Just until I get back on my feet, ya know?" I said. "Sure thing bud, sure thing" said Snug. It's feels good to know you have a friend, even if he is virtual. Boy, I need a life.
Chapter 4: Call of the Part 2
Snugglezerz was a good roommate. His (Or was it a her? Still hadn't asked...) house was on the beach, looking out at the ocean. Every day we went out on a boat ride to Snug's private little island retreat to play games and have fun, then every night we rode back to our house and got some sleep. It was nice to get away from all the conspiracy around my new found powers, and from Geoman5's creepy antics. I had not summoned a Creepion (My nick name for those creeper minions) in weeks, and everything was like paradise... until one night.
Snug was offline. It was stormy outside. I was inside our island retreat cooking some meat and doing some home decoration when suddenly: SMASH! I heard a glass block break. I freaked out. I sprinted upstairs to see who it was. I knew in my heart what I'd find, but seeing it in front of me was a blow to the head. Geo's skin was different. His normal "Dracula" skin was replaced with a rather stupid one. It was the yogscast dwarf. "So...." I said. This was getting wierder by the second. Geo was just standing there, stalk still. About 15 seconds went by. Nothing. Lag? No. Geoman suddenly said something that made it all clear: diggy diggy hole. Thats when the explosions went off. It must have been 100s of TnT blocks all placed at the perfect spots. Of course, Geoman wouldn't be there. He had teleported. He was off at his house, laughing.
I was a different story. I was dead. I respawned, and went off to my hiding spot: The old ruins of my once awesome home. I dug around, and found it. My iron sword. THE iron sword. It was time to bring the Creepions back. I ran off to Geo's house. I've Had Enough Admin Bullying! I ran to the forest, clicked everywhere on the mossy-cobble shrine, and soon I had about 30 creeper pals. I typed "/creeper attack Geoman5" and they all rushed off. I followed them, amazed that the command worked, and they lead me into view of the wierd Nether Portal house. I waited outside, expecting to hear the exploding sound of Geo's stuff being destroyed. I waited for a bit longer, but there was no sound at all. I was going to get closer to find out what the hold-up was, when a mob of creepers rushed out. They came after me. ME. THEIR MASTER! That's when it hit me, that Geo had given me the sword. He had set me up. He had planted the mod, he had given me the tools.... and Gary. GARY WAS HIS ALT ACCOUNT! Gary was designed to get me to use my sword... The mossy shrine on his property? Gary had completed his mission, thats why he said that ominous message before logging off forever! The question was, what did Geo have against me? All I knew was I had to run... and then the final piece of the plan hit me. If I ran to the city, it would seem to everyone that I had brought the creepers, and I would be banned! I ran for the forest. I ran as hard as I could, and didn't look back until I saw my hunger bar was running empty. I killed a pig, ate some pork, and realized I was safe.... for now.
Chapter 5: Mt. Kraken Discovered
The first thing I did was throw my creeper-sword into the wilderness. I had no need for that thing any more. All it brought was bad luck, and worse, bad memories. I kept on walking, and soon, I found a mountain biome. Sweet! Running away to the mountain, classic! I punched some trees, collected some stone, and then I tunneled into the nearby mountain-side, looking for coal. I hit the jackpot, make some torches, and create a temporary little cave home for myself. I just couldn't sleep on the stone-cold mountain ground, so I looked out the window on my wooden door. For the first time, I really got a good sense of my suroundings. I was near a pool of water, maybe 5 blocks deep, and of course, on the edge of a forest. The mountain I lived in appeared to stretch up to the the map's top. Thats good. I like tall mountains.
The next day I hiked up to the top. The view was so spectacular, it took my breath away. I couldn't see anything but beautiful senery and wildlife. Lucky for me, there was no trace of my old village, so I could have more of a clean breakaway from the life I used to lead. I still had so many questions... why did Geoman hate me? What is up with that guy? What's to do next? Out of the corner of my eye, I saw something move. I looked, excpecting it to be a cow or something, and that's when I freaked out. It was no cow. It was in the pond. Swiming. It was a squid. A GIGANTIC squid. If somebody had taken 5 normal minecraft squids, fused them together, plus given it red eyes and creey tentacles to boot, then they would have this dude. I named him Kraken on the spot. In fact, such a wierd site this was, I decided to name the whole mountain, Mt. Kraken. Freaky! I quickly jumped down the mountain, and rushed to the pond to get a closer look, but by the time I got there, Kraken had dissapeared. I need to explore this pond... I jumped in, and found nothing special. It was a 5-block deep hole, roughly cube-ish, with no place that the Kraken could have hidden. WTF.
A few days later, and a lot of mining done, I had equipted myself with all diamond tools, and a full suit of iron armor. I decided to move to the other side of Mt. Kraken, to explore and make myself a real home, not just a base. I didn't want to leave the mysterious pond, but the Kraken appeared to have left, so there really wasn't much use for staying there. I did some mountain parkour, a little bit of combat practice with a few zombies hanging out under a dark mountain-cliff hangout, and found myself on the edge of a desert. Interesting. Mountain, Forest, Desert, in the distance I could even see an Ocean! This mountain was a biome hub! Great! I chopped down the few trees I could find on this side, and made a wooden cabin. It was small, but cosy, and I even had enough wool for a real bed! In my dreams, I heard a voice. "Tom... Good Work... You Are Almost Done... Just Through The Desert... That's Your Destiny..." The next morning, I had made up my mind: I was going to leave my new home, and once again, journey out into the unknown. Through the desert.
Chapter 6: The Desert Trials
The sun was rising. The sky was filled with the colors of a heavenly fire, as if the clouds themself were ablaze. I was ready. In fact, I was as close to ready as you could be in Minecraft, except for the fact I had no enchantments yet. Or potions. Or golden apples. Okay, there was a lot more I could have done to prepare myself, but I was feeling pretty confident. I ate a cooked porchop, one of the many I had prepared, and set off on foot. It didn't take me long to reach the desert I had spotted, and once I did, I could feel the difference. First off, it was hot. Like, really really hot. Compared to the cool shade of Mt. Kraken, this place was hell. Which brings me to difference #2. There were ghasts. I wasn't close enough to get hit by any of their fireballs, but there were definintely floating white jellyfish up in the sky. Oh ****. (see what I did thar?)
I couldn't turn back. Turning back is for wimps. I sprinted forward, and began a fierce game of Baseball with these floating freaks. They would throw their incindiary spheres at me, and I would knock em right back. If I hit them with their own ammo, that was a homerun, and my "point" was the ghast tear I might get. This little game was probably the only thing keeping me from having a nervous breakdown. The last time I saw ghasts, it signified the presence of Geoman5. They were his "pets". I still didn't understand what that meant exactely, but I was sure Geoman was close by. I eventually passed through the sandy plain of ghastly things, and found myself even hotter. How thats possible I do not know, but it was hotter. I soon saw why. Two Words. LAVA. OCEAN.
This is flippin insane! What map has a lava ocean in it? I now grew suspicious. This seemed like another Geo trap, designed to kill me. I couldn't die now! I'd respawn, and my cover would be blown! I had to get away, and fast! Something urged me to look closer. I did, and what I saw changed my mind. There was a little cobblestone island in the middle of the lava lake. On it, was something I held dear. Snug. He/She was tied to a fence pole with string, and it looked as if the island was getting smaller. I now saw my purpose. I needed to save Snug before the lava get him/her/it (I will refer to Snugglezerz as an "it" from now on) and it WAS a trap. One that I could not avoid. I had to save Snug at all costs. But the quesion that still remained was, how?
I dug up some sand, and tried dropping it into the lava. It sank. Deep. This ocean was faaaaaaar too deep for that tactic to work, and Cactus wouldn't do me any good, so I was screwed. No other blocks were available to me. That's when my heart started to pound, and I understood what I needed to do. The ghasts had dropped Tears.. and gunpowder. I had sand, and I had gunpowder. That makes TnT. I had to make a path of TnT in the lava, where the explosives could go off at any given second... Damn. I luckily had brought a workbench, so I placed it down, and got to crafting. I made about 17 of the things, and since the gap between me and the island was around 30-ish blocks, I figured I would have to do some lava-TnT parkour. I needed to get on the island and off in the shortest amount of time so that the TnT would stay, so I calmed myself down, took a breath.... and started.
Place. Place. Jump. Jump. Place. Jump. Place. Jump. BOOM! That was a close one... I continued on like that for a while. Only one block ever exploded, but it startled me so bad, I nearly fell into the lava... It was pretty nerve-wracking. After about one minute of that insane tactic, I was in sight of the island. I jumped on, and by this time it was only 10X10, and raced for Snug. Or what I thought was Snug. It was actually a Zombie Pigman with Snug's username and clothes... Don't ask me how the hell that happened, but it did. And I was pissed. This showdown had begun.
Da de da.. ne na ne... da de da... ne na na! That was the western song running through my head as I circled around the Zombificated Piggie. He seemed... intelligent. He was staring at me. He was playing it cool. Then he charged me. I dodged, rolled, and went for a stab. The piggie had courage, but he couldn't stop The Tominator. I swiped here and there, then sprinted to the other side of the island. The plan worked incredibly smoothly, and I found the Zombie Pigman to be getting tired, fast. It was time to finish him off. I knew just how to do it. I pulled out my old iron sword. Before I went on my desert journey, I impulsivley went back to the forest, and searched for it. Now I was going to surprise sir Piglet the Dead with a knock-back into LavaLand. I dashed up to him, jumped, and came down with my sword at full power. Old Piggy didn't know what hit him. One second he was there, looking befuzzled, and the next he was history. I looked over at my TnT trail, and saw that about 4 more had exploded. It was fine though, because i could just use the cobble under my feet to make a safer path home. I mined from the side, making sure the island wasn't one block deep. I was in luck. There was another layer. I had the supplies to create a bridge to safety. I mined as much cobble as I thought I needed, and make it to the shore. On my arrival, I noticed a strange, orange wool block implanted in the ground. I broke it, and the whole desert fell beneath my feet.
I awoke in a dark room, with eerie noises filling my head. I felt bugs crawling around my hair, and brushed them out, then got up to see where I was. I am not afraid to say I peed my pants. This was bad. No, this was the worst possible outcome I could ever have seen. I was in a dark adminium room, with a single hole in the ceiling, where I had taken my plunge into here. But that wasn't the worst part. In front of me was a working end portal, and a sign in front of it reading "If you are here, congradulations! You have reached the Beginning of The End! This means you are almost ready to fufill your goal! Have... fun? - Geoman5" I know I have said this twice before, but three is the magic number. Oh ****.
Chapter 7: THE END
There were two possible options: Either I would die of starvation, or at the hands of the legendary Enderdragon found right through that portal. Neither option sounded good. Enderdragon. The mythical beast that Notch had inserted into the game. A monster that even pros had trouble with. Who was I to challenge the thing? Yet, I had no choice. Who in they're right mind wouldn't take the oportunity... Without thinking I jumped into the portal. This is it. The End.
Looking at a vast world filled with creepy black figures is intimidating, but what really got to me was the Boss Health bar. It was huge. When I say huge, I mean it. There was no way I was going to win against such a demonic god of power. In fact, this death would probably be the more painful one. I turned around to go back, and saw my exit was closed. I was here, and there was only one way out. Kill the dragon. I had 3 arrows.
How do you kill a dragon with three arrows? Well, there was one way to find out. I rushed into a field of obsidian pillars, and started stacking my way up to the top of them with my most abundant block: Sand. This was a terrible idea. All of a sudden, a saw a swift blur of purple, and my sand stack was falling. This dragon was fast, and could destroy blocks. I tried to get a good look at it, but it was too speedy for my tired eyes. I began pillaring once again, and managed to get to the top of the mysterious obsidian monument. There was a wierd glass orb, floating on a magic pedestal. I took my sword and shattered it. One down, 11 to go. Then, the dragon flew into me and knocked me off my perch.
I knew the fall would be over quick, but what I didn't expect was the abrubtness. I had landed on a ledge. Why was there a ledge? No clue. All I knew was I had to be thankful for it, because had it not been there the journey would have had an unpleasant ending. I took out my water bucket, poured it, and rode the flow downward. I couldn't collect the source block back, so I had no means of getting down any of the other eleven pillars. If I got there. This was hopeless. I was about ready to kill myself then and there, when I saw a wierd sight. I looked as if there was a little cave created in a hollowed out pillar a few blocks away. I rushed towards it. Inside was a chest filled with enchanted bows, water buckets, obsidian, golden apples, anything and everything I could ever want. Tomandgreen was back in the game.
The next part was a rush of adrenaline and fatigue. I would pillar up with obsidian, quickly break the glass orb with my unlimited-ammo bow, and waterfall downward. I got in a pattern, and finally got all the power towers destroyed. Now it was time to dwindle down the boss heath. The dragon! I had forgoten about it! There had been no sign of him for so long, I had just forgot about him entirely. What was he doing? I got my answer very soon. He was charging up with energy. From the dark horizon came a bolt of light that flew towards me, hitting me smack-dab in the chest. I fell off the obsidian pillar for a second time, but there was no ledge here. The ground rushed towards me, and I died. Or, at least, I would have, had I not been wearing Lvl. 25 Feather Falling boots! I had half a heart left, and ate a golden apple. I was fine, but the shock had yet to recede. The dragon was not giving up without a fight.
The black blur that was the Enderdragon flew over head, twisting and twirling, until a mini tornado occured. It blasted right towards me, and having played a good deal of Legend of Zelda, it gave me an idea. I set up some TnT triggers (TnT with levers) and when the tornado arrived, I set them all off. The TnT whirled to the top of the tornado, and exploded directly on the dragon. His health was now 3/4 his normal. I guess the special attacks drained him a bit. I shot arrows at him, but only a few hit. You try nailing a target moving at 75 MPH! This beast would not go down! The Enderdragon stopped. His mouth opened up, and ghast fireballs came out, in all directions. I used my sword, and bounced a few back at him. He knew Ghast Baseball aparently, because he flung them back at me. Eventually, we were playing a game that resembled something more like Tennis. One wrong move, and I was toast. Luckily, dragons make lousy tennis players, so I scored some points. His health was now about 3/5 full, and I was running out of ideas. He wasn't. Lava started falling from the sky.
The lava cleared up wherever the dragon flew, so it wasn't about to help me win. I sprinted away from the dangerous weather, and found shelter under the dragon's flight path. I used the lava to my advantage, and shot a few arrows through it to make them flamable. The dragon caught on fire! The molten downpour changed into normal rain, but this made the lava lake below soldify. The floor was now closer to the ceiling, and that gave me a huge advantage. Except, since I was under the dragon, I was in an obsidian pit. Perfect for a nasty trick, which the dragon provided. He started the lava rain back up, but only over me this time. I was saved by the fact lava flows so slowly. I had just enough time to pillar out before the hole became submerged in lava. There was some good news. The dragon was down to half health! Unfortunately, that meant I was only half-way done...
Or not. The dragon became enraged, and started charging right at me. I steped aside, and let it run into the solid obsidian floor. That lost him A LOT of heath, plus, I had a chance to encase his wings in more obsidian before he could get back up. I then proceeded to pour lava on his head, and watched him struggle. I looked at the Boss Health bar, as it slowly receded to 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2... I took the lava away. I couldn't do it. I mined up the obsidian shackles with my super-fast pick, and let the dragon fly up into the sky. What can I say, I'm not a killer! I felt a stab in my back, and turned around to see the dragon's claws inside my body. Never trust a scaley reptilian with your life. I blacked out...
When I awoke, I saw a rather bizarre sight. The gigantic dragon was sitting contently next to me, on a pile of endstone and jewels. "You fought well young human." it said. I yelped, and then looked into his eyes, and sensed compassion. This thing was being nice to me. "What was that for?" I asked. "The big fight? Oh, well... It was my fault really. I thought you were that Geo-person. He came here earlier, and tried to steal from me! I managed to fight him off, but then, later this day, you came along! I was outraged, and fought without thinking. What tipped me off you were different from that monster was the way you freed me. Geo would never have done that. That's why you are here. With me." I starred. Could it be that simple? "Bbbut I... I mean... you stabbed me!" The Enderdragon looked amused. "Sleep Serum. Trust me, it helped you in the long run. Well, if you are wondering what this place is, we are in my roost. This is where I sit on my mound of treasure. I took you here to show you the way home!" I grinned. Home. Safety. Except... I was an outlaw! Geo would be back on my tail! "I can't go home... That Geo has been making my life hell! Dude, I have no home." The Enderdragon looked irritated. "Dude? I'm a female you realize?" I've been dueling a girl?
"Also, do you think I let Geoman go after he battled me? He is trapped right over there, in that jail cell. I thought he had escaped when you arrived." I looked in the corner, and there he was, crumpled in a heap on the ground, but still breathing.
"Now, I will go get the Emergency Overworld Portal, you stay right there." The dragon rose, flew off, and I finally got to see the loot he.. she was siting on. There were blocks of gold, diamonds, and a chest. I checked it. It was stuffed with lapis blocks and iron bars... plus, in the middle of the heap, there was a strange black shape. I right-clicked it, and it teleported blocks over. I tried to mine it up to place back in the heap, but it teleported again, this time inside of Geoman's cell. ****. I opened the iron door with the switch, and tip-toed inside. Geoman's eyes popped open, he stood up, and said in an oddly cheerful voice, "Ha! Nice show! If you want that thing, you should start mining a different block, then switch your cursor to it! Bye!" Then he took off. I had to leave this place, fast. I tried the mining tecnique, and it worked. I had an undefined item in my inventory, and I started looking for an exit. I didn't think the Dragon would thank me too much for releasing the captive. I noticed that an odd light was coming from around the corner where Geo had ran to, and I ran there as well. I saw an enderportal, and jumped inside as quick as I could. The credits started to roll.
I returned to the normal world. Kind of. I found myself in a glass box. I tried to break out, but a message came up saying, "You Don't Have Permission To Break That". I was stuck. A loud voice started talking over a speaker.
"Well Done Tom!" It was Geo. "You suceeded! I still can not believe my plan worked! Just goes to show you how having three minecraft accounts can bring abou such amazing occurences... yes three. Didn't you guess by now? I'm your precious Snug! I thought you were smart.. I've set this all up, obviously. I PMed you the server thread link. I gave you the sword, and a person to call "Friend". I provided you will the tools to win against the Enderdragon, although you did lose didn't you? Yet, I prepared for that too! I win here Tom, I win. Look in your inventory Tom, do it. Look what the item you got was!"
I did. It was a dragon egg. The dragon was a girl. I took her baby. Could this be what Geo was trying to steal from the dragon's roost? "Yes. I wanted the egg. Its funny, because I'm the server admin. I could spawn them, right? WRONG! I installed Mysterypack, a server mod making things a lot more interesting. Legendary swords with sacred powers, secret beasts you may never even realize are there... and the best part is, it's not listed. I had no idea of what to expect from it. I devoted all my time to studing the new features, but came across a problem. Mysterypack disables all unfair advantages. No spawning items, no teleporting, it all had to be achieved fairly. That was easy enough, I descovered the potion of teleportation rather quickly, but the End posed a difficulty. The dragon was vamped up. I couldn't beat it, beause the roost would have been lost forever. I needed to gain the dragon's trust. You helped me there!"
"Why would I want the egg? Well, I have a source that claims Mysterypack adds baby dragons! Imagine the possibilities for a tamed dragon! I would be so fly! Literally! I mean, that is the kind of thing I want more than the world. And I got it. Now, to collect the gift!" The top layer of the glass box vanished, and down fell Geo. With a bow. He said one final message before killing me. "You used to be a force of power! Then, you took an arrow in the knee." I didn't respawn. The screen just read, "You Have Been Banned!".
Geoman chuckled. He laughed for about 5 minutes, and then the egg started cracking. Out came a baby dragon, the size of a block. "You are mine now! Mine, you hear me! Now, what shall I name you? Kevin? Nah... How about... Tom. I like it. HehehehehHAHAHAHAHAH!"
THE END
-The Pirates of the Infinite Horizons-
ChapterOne: A Stormy Night
The town of Driftport, though small and tucked away, was a pleasant place. The pubs were cleaner, the people were nicer, and the air was fresher than in most parts of the country. The weather, which had been fair and balmy most of the spring, had recently turned sour, and thus it was raining that fateful night. The pirates, more knowledgable then people would like to have thought, knew this well in advance, and had planned for it. It was this rainy night the pirates had chosen to sail into the harbor and get some supplies. The dark concealed the fleet of boats, all rushing towards the little town. No-one was awake to stop them, if if they had been, it would have been futile. The pirates knew what they were doing. By the time the sun came up, the villagers woke to see their diamonds, gold, weapons, and armor all gone. Nobody noticed that the population of Driftport had just gone down by one.
ChapterTwo: Thomas Greenford
If you were asked to decribe Thomas Greenford in detail, you would have to politely decline. Nobody who knew him, and that was just a select few in Driftport, knew him well. He had no family as far as anyone could tell, and went missing for days on end at times. Looking back, nobody could even remember how Thomas got to Driftport in the first place. All in all, he was a mysterious figure, and it's no wonder he left Driftport as inconspiciously as he had arrived...
Thomas was intelligent to say the least. While most of Driftport's citizens bussied themselves with fishing and cooking and mining, he was out in the forest, observing wild pigs and watching the stars. Thomas would have been broke had he not been so good at fixing problems. "Why is my redstone not working?", "Where are all the diamonds in this cave?", "How do you get the animals in their pens so easily?". Thomas had an answer. He wouldn't say it to your face, no, he'd simply leave a convienient little sign. Thomas didn't ask for compensation, but the townsfolk knew he needed it, so without fail his chest would always be full after a day of observing and helping. Thomas didn't tell a soul, but he was bored out of his mind.
He could have left at any second, but he didn't. He knew that there was something worth waiting for, some experience that was meant for him, and so he stayed put. Day after day, night after night, he yearned for a chance to leave but knew he couldn't. Not yet. Then the weather changed, and he felt in the wind an oncoming adventure. The thing he had been waiting for. So Thomas packed up his gear, and set off to the best vantage point around: Portside Hill. Rain soaked poor Thomas's clothes, but he didn't notice. He was to busy doing what he did best, observing. An hour later, he fell asleep.
Thomas awoke to the sound of muffled whispers. His brain jumped to the obvious conclusion: Bandits. They would have used the cover of the dark and the rain to mask any sign of intrusion. They didn't know Thomas. He was always two steps ahead. Thomas sat up, and slowly crawled to a better viewpoint. He saw 12 scruffy men killing livestock, raiding chests, and blowin stuff up. They were good, the explosions were placed just right, only where nobody would hear them too loudly. Thomas wanted to go drive off the theives, but he wasn't much of a fighter, and his meager iron sword didn't seem capaple of driving off their 12 diamond ones. So, in the end, Thomas watched. Slowly, the intruders backed away, towards the cove, and Thomas then noticed the boats. Off they went, Driftport's loot and all. Thomas had made up his mind, he'd follow them. Not only follow, but in the end, he'd return to Driftport with all of their stolen goods. He was wrong.
So you woke up on an island and now your all alone,
gotta find some wood, get some food, gotta build a home,
I'm a girl thats a frog, my fan base it huge,
you can be Miley Cyrus or Ebenyser Scrooge
BIG DEAL! I drop apples, you drop nothing but crap!
Your so lame, and so quiet, I'm not sure you can rap!
Steve:
Listen furry, you are cute, but thats just a facade,
your only existance now is inside a mod!
You were scrapped with the other lame ideas of Dock,
lemme get some TnT and blow you off this block!
If a creeper and MinecraftChick had a little kid,
you would be the froggy crap that the baby would ****!
Now besides the fact that I am the essence of creation,
I'm also better cuz unlike you I have moving animation!
Rana:
Listen BRO, this whole rap is going too slow,
lemme get Black Steve (not racist, read this: http://www.minecraft...iki/Black_Steve) to show you how I roll!
Black Steve:
Heey Steve, I'm like you, except I can rap!
Im black, like a cat, thats about to attack!
I really wish your mouth would just glue shut,
cuz its truly annoying when you fall and say "ugh"
Playing with you is like playing with a toy,
Imma finish you off with Mr. Beast Boy! (http://www.minecraft.../wiki/Beast_Boy)
Beast Boy:
Yo....
Steve:
Really? hahaha, so this is who I'm fightin?
I heard your modeled after a dude from teen titans,
you're lame, not in the game, you know what I mean?
Is it true what kermit said, "It's not easy being Green."
Nobody could tell the difference between you and a toon,
I'm as iconic as the man in the moon!
And if you still feel like fighting a lost cause,
maybe this little fact will give you a pause,
if we went to court, who would the judge believe?
Beast Boy? Don't joke. The answer is STEVE!
And just for one more blow to the crotch,
I've always been the favorite of Notch!
I worked very hard on these, some feedback would be much apreciated. Also, Server Secret is the best of the two, DEATH is a bit more fast-paced and dramatic.
New story in the works, some of my best writing yet. The Pirates of the Infinite Horizons is a story set inside a more realistic minecraft. Unlike my other two stories, there is no computer. No game. It's life! I've only gotten one chapter out, but it's an excellent teaser!
Thank you! It just got one chapter better! Yes, the next chapter is up, and it's very good imho. The lack of replies does not daunt me, however a couple more responses would encourage quicker writing for sure!
Added a fun little rap battle, it's Steve vs. the creations of Dock! Beast boy, Rana, even Black Steve! Im proud of it, so check it out! I'd really enjoy any post on this thread whether you liked it or not... just want to get the people's opinion!

It was time. I was going to try out a seed I had heard about, a seed called DEATH. My palms were sweaty and I was starting to think this wasn't such a bright idea. Basically, I felt nautious. I quickly created my world, which I named "DEATH" (a bit obvious), and quickly typed in the forbidden seed... I spawned on an island. Without any trees at all. NOT ONE! I was about to log out when an idea formed. I had one chance at survival. It was a slim one, but a chance none the less, and I was going to take it. I was going to escape. I began swimming, as far as I could, for as long as I could, but nothing. No land in any direction. Night soon fell. I stopped, and viewed my surroundings. Absolutely marvalous. There were what looked like underwater mountains! I could imagine that this place used to be a dry, explorable world, until some mysterious flood came. Suddenly, I saw something underwater. A mirage? Herobrine? What was it? I dove to explore, and found nothing. It must have been the Moon's reflection. Unluckily for me, that's when the pain started. "Oomph' said my character. I was dying! I desperately swam upwards, but it was too late, my fate was sealed. I respawned on DEATH island, now covered with monsters.
Night 1: My Creeper Angel
A creeper exploded. Scratch that, 3 exploded. Then I respawned and more came. It was explosion after explosion, with some skeleton shots and spider attacks mixed in, but it also was a miracle. I was getting blocks. Dirt, Cobble, I even recieved some gunpowder and string! Sure I died, but the deaths did nothing because I would die where I respawned, and I would pick everything up again. After I had a decent amount of loot, I camped out in a dirt shack until morning. I hadnt won much, but I had won hope.
Day 2: A New Hope
Sure, I would have no use for the cobble, the gunpowder, or the string without a workbench or sticks, but it got me thinking. Minecraft. Mining and Crafting. To mine you need tools, for tools you need sticks. For sticks you need wood. For wood you need trees. Crafting. For crafting you need a crafting bench, which leads back to the trees. Without trees, what is Minecraft? Building. You aspire to build, and make the most of the land. That is what I was going to do! I began constructing my patchwork pagoda at once. It was humble, but it used up all my resources, and I was proud. I had shown death, and DEATH that even when they gave me trouble, I was resilient, and still came out strong.
Night 2: The Test
I had completed my mission, and I could have quit there. I didn't. I had one final test for DEATH: could my pagoda keep me safe during the night? I was ready to find out. Really, the result would mean nothing, what's the point of living? Also, it would mean everything, could my one accomplishment on this barren island hold up against the terrors of the night? This was it. The final showdown between me and DEATH. Could my intresting no-wood playstyle overcome the challenge? The night started off quiet. TOO quiet. I checked my difficulty settings. Easy. Easy wasn't good enough, I wanted DEATH to have a fighting chance, so I changed it to Hard. Still, it seemed rather boring. That's when I realised the monsters wouldn't spawn near enough to me if I stayed in the Pagoda! I would be invincible! Monsters don't spawn within a ten-block radius or something! Call it suicidal, but I realized what I needed to do: Open the roof. First, I put a hole at the top. A second later, a zombie fell down to me. I beat it to death, and then... nothing. I opened up the roof 2 blocks more but still, nothing. 4 Blocks more..... NOTHING! I suddenly felt arrows piercing my bare body, and looked up to see a skelly, shooting me from one of the last remaining blocks of roof. I had know the pyramid shap ould make iteasy for mobs to reach the ceiling hole, but that was all pat of the plan. Anyways, the skelly was killing me slowly, so I ran around in circles, hoping to make him confused and continue to miss. I didn't have to keep this up for long, because just then, the sun broke the horizon and I was saved. Victory!
Day 3: DEATH's Trick
I hopped out of the remains of my pagoda, and surveiled the scene. I HAD WON! That's when a "sssssss" sound came from behind me. This wasn't over yet. "Really Sssssteve, you sssilly ssssssucker! DEATH never losssseeeesss! We, the creeperssss sssshall ssssucceed!" Oh god. BOOM! I had one heart left, and five more creepers were running after me. I went commando, and killed them all with my bare hands. It was awesome. If there was adrenaline in Minecraft, that was it right there. Then, I took the gunpowder, threw it on the ground in a big pile, made a pillar of dirt, and jumped on the "ashes" of DEATH. Yes, I was that overjoyed. Luckily, I did not sustain any fall damage, for my health was as low as possible. Yet I had survived. Unfortunately, fate is cruel. Very, very cruel. I had not eaten anything in days, and suddenly, without warning, hunger took my life. And there was the ending screen. GAME OVER. Fo real this time. At least DEATH didn't get me. What got me was LIFE, the cycle. It was my time. I rotted, and returned to the soil. Maybe, just maybe, a tree would grow in my place.
After a 4 minute stroll through that nice forest I had seen, I reached a waiting player, obviously Snugglezerz, and I said, "Hello!". "Follow me!" he/she exclaimed, "I have much to show you! This is the town square," I gasp. It's sooo pretty. There is a water fountain, a garden, and several quaint shops. Nothing looked cramped or cheesy. "This is....." suddenly, Snug stopped and looked to the sky. I began to get confused, and when I glanced upwards I saw the problem. There were 5 ghasts overhead. Oh ****.
"Wow.." I say, even though it does not even begin to match how I feel. What kind of server is this? "Here, follow me, there is lots more to see than just this!" says Snug. I look around the town, but all the while, the thought of Geoman5's house haunts me. I guess there is more than just that happy feeling to this server. Waaaay more. "Why don't you make a house over there at Sandy Shades? Use the kit "Starter" for the supplies." Snug then explained he needed to get some shut-eye, and logged off. "What now..." A user by the name of "GaryOakRulz" yelled, "NO BATTLE LOGGING N00B!" I didn't like that *****. I make a pyramid-shaped house out of some sandstone from the kit, and set off to get flowers for the garden out front.
I went back to the forest, this time, off the trail. I saw a nice clearing with some red and yellow flowers around, and began collecting them. "HEY!" yelled GaryOakRulz. When will this guy just shut up? "You're taking MY FLOWERS!!!" "Sorry, I thought this was the wilderness!" I say, feeling very embarassed. "THIS is MY farm! STAY OFF!" Gary yells. He liked to yell. I found flowers elsewhere, and started my journey homewards. As I walked back to my estate, I passed geoman5's creepy house again. A feeling of dread came over me. "So, you're Tom, nice to meet you."
I turn around and see Geoman standing right there. Dracula skin and all. Creepy. "Here, take this, I have no use for it anyways." He drops an iron sword at my feet. "Th-Th-Thanks..." I say. Feeling very creeped out, I pick it up. "I am the server host, and if I hear any unsavory rumors about you, I will not hessitate to call upon my ghasts.... but I doubt that will happen, you seem pretty well behaved. Until then, good-bye!" and with that, he dissapears. I rush home in a state of fear. "That was strange..." I say to myself. "I better watch some Pokemon and eat some popcorn, that should cheer me up!" I get 10 "Lol"s. Too bad I'm serious...
"Hey Gary!" I yelled. "WHAT IS IT! I'm busy cutting down my tree farm lumber, SHEESH." he replied, as normal, in a yell. "I was just wanted to award you a diamond for your services to the server!" I lied. "I guess I could take a break... I shall meet you at your house for the award ceramony!" Boy! He's gullible! He arrived 3 minutes later. My creeper ran up to him and exploded, destroying his entire front lawn. I guess I have phantom warriors....
I could now beat anybody and everybody with ease. I was crowned the PvP master, and even though I was not the best on the server, the more pro players went along with it. Nobody dared fight me... except Gary. He was really, really, mad. "I KNEW IT WAS A TRICK!" he would yell whenever he saw me, "I just wanted to AMUSE YOU!!! I guess BLOWING ME UP WAS YOUR AMUSEMENT!!! I am COMING FOR YOU!!!" He always would make those kinds of threats, but never actually did anything. Then one day I found a sign above my bed saying, "Meet me in the Forest! -Gary" I was scared. Gary was a preeety good fighter, and I had loaned my sword to Snug the other day. Who knew where it was now? Without it, I was a combat n00b. I didn't want to risk my reputation as a boss, so I went anyways. I ran into the dense forest and to my surprise, there was my sword, laying on the ground. I picked it up, and noticed that a little mossy-cobble shrine was erected a few blocks over. NICE! Unfortunately, that was the same spot I had tried to get flowers, Gary's Farm. I saw Gary's username up on a tree, and then I saw blocks of TnT fall from the same spot. I'm Dead.
Miraculusly, the creepers take the blow for me. Not a single block is destroyed. I collect my creeper's drops and with much anger, I pillar my way up the tree with some spare dirt. Finally, I get to Gary's perch, and I knock him straight off with my iron sword. It looks as if my sword also has some neat knock-back. He falls, and he dies, leaving nothing at all... Gary's next comment frightens me. "I have completed my mission" That was the last time I saw Gary. Ever.
I came back to my house, or should I say, my garbage heap. Aparentely Gary had gone all greifer on me, because where my sandstone pyramid used to stand, was a jagged crater with wood (On fire of course) randomly scattered everywhere. I was dumb-founded. The only thing I had left was my sword. "Hey Snug, you got a nice house, mind sharing? Just until I get back on my feet, ya know?" I said. "Sure thing bud, sure thing" said Snug. It's feels good to know you have a friend, even if he is virtual. Boy, I need a life.
Snug was offline. It was stormy outside. I was inside our island retreat cooking some meat and doing some home decoration when suddenly: SMASH! I heard a glass block break. I freaked out. I sprinted upstairs to see who it was. I knew in my heart what I'd find, but seeing it in front of me was a blow to the head. Geo's skin was different. His normal "Dracula" skin was replaced with a rather stupid one. It was the yogscast dwarf. "So...." I said. This was getting wierder by the second. Geo was just standing there, stalk still. About 15 seconds went by. Nothing. Lag? No. Geoman suddenly said something that made it all clear: diggy diggy hole. Thats when the explosions went off. It must have been 100s of TnT blocks all placed at the perfect spots. Of course, Geoman wouldn't be there. He had teleported. He was off at his house, laughing.
I was a different story. I was dead. I respawned, and went off to my hiding spot: The old ruins of my once awesome home. I dug around, and found it. My iron sword. THE iron sword. It was time to bring the Creepions back. I ran off to Geo's house. I've Had Enough Admin Bullying! I ran to the forest, clicked everywhere on the mossy-cobble shrine, and soon I had about 30 creeper pals. I typed "/creeper attack Geoman5" and they all rushed off. I followed them, amazed that the command worked, and they lead me into view of the wierd Nether Portal house. I waited outside, expecting to hear the exploding sound of Geo's stuff being destroyed. I waited for a bit longer, but there was no sound at all. I was going to get closer to find out what the hold-up was, when a mob of creepers rushed out. They came after me. ME. THEIR MASTER! That's when it hit me, that Geo had given me the sword. He had set me up. He had planted the mod, he had given me the tools.... and Gary. GARY WAS HIS ALT ACCOUNT! Gary was designed to get me to use my sword... The mossy shrine on his property? Gary had completed his mission, thats why he said that ominous message before logging off forever! The question was, what did Geo have against me? All I knew was I had to run... and then the final piece of the plan hit me. If I ran to the city, it would seem to everyone that I had brought the creepers, and I would be banned! I ran for the forest. I ran as hard as I could, and didn't look back until I saw my hunger bar was running empty. I killed a pig, ate some pork, and realized I was safe.... for now.
The next day I hiked up to the top. The view was so spectacular, it took my breath away. I couldn't see anything but beautiful senery and wildlife. Lucky for me, there was no trace of my old village, so I could have more of a clean breakaway from the life I used to lead. I still had so many questions... why did Geoman hate me? What is up with that guy? What's to do next? Out of the corner of my eye, I saw something move. I looked, excpecting it to be a cow or something, and that's when I freaked out. It was no cow. It was in the pond. Swiming. It was a squid. A GIGANTIC squid. If somebody had taken 5 normal minecraft squids, fused them together, plus given it red eyes and creey tentacles to boot, then they would have this dude. I named him Kraken on the spot. In fact, such a wierd site this was, I decided to name the whole mountain, Mt. Kraken. Freaky! I quickly jumped down the mountain, and rushed to the pond to get a closer look, but by the time I got there, Kraken had dissapeared. I need to explore this pond... I jumped in, and found nothing special. It was a 5-block deep hole, roughly cube-ish, with no place that the Kraken could have hidden. WTF.
A few days later, and a lot of mining done, I had equipted myself with all diamond tools, and a full suit of iron armor. I decided to move to the other side of Mt. Kraken, to explore and make myself a real home, not just a base. I didn't want to leave the mysterious pond, but the Kraken appeared to have left, so there really wasn't much use for staying there. I did some mountain parkour, a little bit of combat practice with a few zombies hanging out under a dark mountain-cliff hangout, and found myself on the edge of a desert. Interesting. Mountain, Forest, Desert, in the distance I could even see an Ocean! This mountain was a biome hub! Great! I chopped down the few trees I could find on this side, and made a wooden cabin. It was small, but cosy, and I even had enough wool for a real bed! In my dreams, I heard a voice. "Tom... Good Work... You Are Almost Done... Just Through The Desert... That's Your Destiny..." The next morning, I had made up my mind: I was going to leave my new home, and once again, journey out into the unknown. Through the desert.
I couldn't turn back. Turning back is for wimps. I sprinted forward, and began a fierce game of Baseball with these floating freaks. They would throw their incindiary spheres at me, and I would knock em right back. If I hit them with their own ammo, that was a homerun, and my "point" was the ghast tear I might get. This little game was probably the only thing keeping me from having a nervous breakdown. The last time I saw ghasts, it signified the presence of Geoman5. They were his "pets". I still didn't understand what that meant exactely, but I was sure Geoman was close by. I eventually passed through the sandy plain of ghastly things, and found myself even hotter. How thats possible I do not know, but it was hotter. I soon saw why. Two Words. LAVA. OCEAN.
This is flippin insane! What map has a lava ocean in it? I now grew suspicious. This seemed like another Geo trap, designed to kill me. I couldn't die now! I'd respawn, and my cover would be blown! I had to get away, and fast! Something urged me to look closer. I did, and what I saw changed my mind. There was a little cobblestone island in the middle of the lava lake. On it, was something I held dear. Snug. He/She was tied to a fence pole with string, and it looked as if the island was getting smaller. I now saw my purpose. I needed to save Snug before the lava get him/her/it (I will refer to Snugglezerz as an "it" from now on) and it WAS a trap. One that I could not avoid. I had to save Snug at all costs. But the quesion that still remained was, how?
I dug up some sand, and tried dropping it into the lava. It sank. Deep. This ocean was faaaaaaar too deep for that tactic to work, and Cactus wouldn't do me any good, so I was screwed. No other blocks were available to me. That's when my heart started to pound, and I understood what I needed to do. The ghasts had dropped Tears.. and gunpowder. I had sand, and I had gunpowder. That makes TnT. I had to make a path of TnT in the lava, where the explosives could go off at any given second... Damn. I luckily had brought a workbench, so I placed it down, and got to crafting. I made about 17 of the things, and since the gap between me and the island was around 30-ish blocks, I figured I would have to do some lava-TnT parkour. I needed to get on the island and off in the shortest amount of time so that the TnT would stay, so I calmed myself down, took a breath.... and started.
Place. Place. Jump. Jump. Place. Jump. Place. Jump. BOOM! That was a close one... I continued on like that for a while. Only one block ever exploded, but it startled me so bad, I nearly fell into the lava... It was pretty nerve-wracking. After about one minute of that insane tactic, I was in sight of the island. I jumped on, and by this time it was only 10X10, and raced for Snug. Or what I thought was Snug. It was actually a Zombie Pigman with Snug's username and clothes... Don't ask me how the hell that happened, but it did. And I was pissed. This showdown had begun.
Da de da.. ne na ne... da de da... ne na na! That was the western song running through my head as I circled around the Zombificated Piggie. He seemed... intelligent. He was staring at me. He was playing it cool. Then he charged me. I dodged, rolled, and went for a stab. The piggie had courage, but he couldn't stop The Tominator. I swiped here and there, then sprinted to the other side of the island. The plan worked incredibly smoothly, and I found the Zombie Pigman to be getting tired, fast. It was time to finish him off. I knew just how to do it. I pulled out my old iron sword. Before I went on my desert journey, I impulsivley went back to the forest, and searched for it. Now I was going to surprise sir Piglet the Dead with a knock-back into LavaLand. I dashed up to him, jumped, and came down with my sword at full power. Old Piggy didn't know what hit him. One second he was there, looking befuzzled, and the next he was history. I looked over at my TnT trail, and saw that about 4 more had exploded. It was fine though, because i could just use the cobble under my feet to make a safer path home. I mined from the side, making sure the island wasn't one block deep. I was in luck. There was another layer. I had the supplies to create a bridge to safety. I mined as much cobble as I thought I needed, and make it to the shore. On my arrival, I noticed a strange, orange wool block implanted in the ground. I broke it, and the whole desert fell beneath my feet.
I awoke in a dark room, with eerie noises filling my head. I felt bugs crawling around my hair, and brushed them out, then got up to see where I was. I am not afraid to say I peed my pants. This was bad. No, this was the worst possible outcome I could ever have seen. I was in a dark adminium room, with a single hole in the ceiling, where I had taken my plunge into here. But that wasn't the worst part. In front of me was a working end portal, and a sign in front of it reading "If you are here, congradulations! You have reached the Beginning of The End! This means you are almost ready to fufill your goal! Have... fun? - Geoman5" I know I have said this twice before, but three is the magic number. Oh ****.
Looking at a vast world filled with creepy black figures is intimidating, but what really got to me was the Boss Health bar. It was huge. When I say huge, I mean it. There was no way I was going to win against such a demonic god of power. In fact, this death would probably be the more painful one. I turned around to go back, and saw my exit was closed. I was here, and there was only one way out. Kill the dragon. I had 3 arrows.
How do you kill a dragon with three arrows? Well, there was one way to find out. I rushed into a field of obsidian pillars, and started stacking my way up to the top of them with my most abundant block: Sand. This was a terrible idea. All of a sudden, a saw a swift blur of purple, and my sand stack was falling. This dragon was fast, and could destroy blocks. I tried to get a good look at it, but it was too speedy for my tired eyes. I began pillaring once again, and managed to get to the top of the mysterious obsidian monument. There was a wierd glass orb, floating on a magic pedestal. I took my sword and shattered it. One down, 11 to go. Then, the dragon flew into me and knocked me off my perch.
I knew the fall would be over quick, but what I didn't expect was the abrubtness. I had landed on a ledge. Why was there a ledge? No clue. All I knew was I had to be thankful for it, because had it not been there the journey would have had an unpleasant ending. I took out my water bucket, poured it, and rode the flow downward. I couldn't collect the source block back, so I had no means of getting down any of the other eleven pillars. If I got there. This was hopeless. I was about ready to kill myself then and there, when I saw a wierd sight. I looked as if there was a little cave created in a hollowed out pillar a few blocks away. I rushed towards it. Inside was a chest filled with enchanted bows, water buckets, obsidian, golden apples, anything and everything I could ever want. Tomandgreen was back in the game.
The next part was a rush of adrenaline and fatigue. I would pillar up with obsidian, quickly break the glass orb with my unlimited-ammo bow, and waterfall downward. I got in a pattern, and finally got all the power towers destroyed. Now it was time to dwindle down the boss heath. The dragon! I had forgoten about it! There had been no sign of him for so long, I had just forgot about him entirely. What was he doing? I got my answer very soon. He was charging up with energy. From the dark horizon came a bolt of light that flew towards me, hitting me smack-dab in the chest. I fell off the obsidian pillar for a second time, but there was no ledge here. The ground rushed towards me, and I died. Or, at least, I would have, had I not been wearing Lvl. 25 Feather Falling boots! I had half a heart left, and ate a golden apple. I was fine, but the shock had yet to recede. The dragon was not giving up without a fight.
The black blur that was the Enderdragon flew over head, twisting and twirling, until a mini tornado occured. It blasted right towards me, and having played a good deal of Legend of Zelda, it gave me an idea. I set up some TnT triggers (TnT with levers) and when the tornado arrived, I set them all off. The TnT whirled to the top of the tornado, and exploded directly on the dragon. His health was now 3/4 his normal. I guess the special attacks drained him a bit. I shot arrows at him, but only a few hit. You try nailing a target moving at 75 MPH! This beast would not go down! The Enderdragon stopped. His mouth opened up, and ghast fireballs came out, in all directions. I used my sword, and bounced a few back at him. He knew Ghast Baseball aparently, because he flung them back at me. Eventually, we were playing a game that resembled something more like Tennis. One wrong move, and I was toast. Luckily, dragons make lousy tennis players, so I scored some points. His health was now about 3/5 full, and I was running out of ideas. He wasn't. Lava started falling from the sky.
The lava cleared up wherever the dragon flew, so it wasn't about to help me win. I sprinted away from the dangerous weather, and found shelter under the dragon's flight path. I used the lava to my advantage, and shot a few arrows through it to make them flamable. The dragon caught on fire! The molten downpour changed into normal rain, but this made the lava lake below soldify. The floor was now closer to the ceiling, and that gave me a huge advantage. Except, since I was under the dragon, I was in an obsidian pit. Perfect for a nasty trick, which the dragon provided. He started the lava rain back up, but only over me this time. I was saved by the fact lava flows so slowly. I had just enough time to pillar out before the hole became submerged in lava. There was some good news. The dragon was down to half health! Unfortunately, that meant I was only half-way done...
When I awoke, I saw a rather bizarre sight. The gigantic dragon was sitting contently next to me, on a pile of endstone and jewels. "You fought well young human." it said. I yelped, and then looked into his eyes, and sensed compassion. This thing was being nice to me. "What was that for?" I asked. "The big fight? Oh, well... It was my fault really. I thought you were that Geo-person. He came here earlier, and tried to steal from me! I managed to fight him off, but then, later this day, you came along! I was outraged, and fought without thinking. What tipped me off you were different from that monster was the way you freed me. Geo would never have done that. That's why you are here. With me." I starred. Could it be that simple? "Bbbut I... I mean... you stabbed me!" The Enderdragon looked amused. "Sleep Serum. Trust me, it helped you in the long run. Well, if you are wondering what this place is, we are in my roost. This is where I sit on my mound of treasure. I took you here to show you the way home!" I grinned. Home. Safety. Except... I was an outlaw! Geo would be back on my tail! "I can't go home... That Geo has been making my life hell! Dude, I have no home." The Enderdragon looked irritated. "Dude? I'm a female you realize?" I've been dueling a girl?
"Now, I will go get the Emergency Overworld Portal, you stay right there." The dragon rose, flew off, and I finally got to see the loot he.. she was siting on. There were blocks of gold, diamonds, and a chest. I checked it. It was stuffed with lapis blocks and iron bars... plus, in the middle of the heap, there was a strange black shape. I right-clicked it, and it teleported blocks over. I tried to mine it up to place back in the heap, but it teleported again, this time inside of Geoman's cell. ****. I opened the iron door with the switch, and tip-toed inside. Geoman's eyes popped open, he stood up, and said in an oddly cheerful voice, "Ha! Nice show! If you want that thing, you should start mining a different block, then switch your cursor to it! Bye!" Then he took off. I had to leave this place, fast. I tried the mining tecnique, and it worked. I had an undefined item in my inventory, and I started looking for an exit. I didn't think the Dragon would thank me too much for releasing the captive. I noticed that an odd light was coming from around the corner where Geo had ran to, and I ran there as well. I saw an enderportal, and jumped inside as quick as I could. The credits started to roll.

Chapter ???: Fool Me Twice
"Well Done Tom!" It was Geo. "You suceeded! I still can not believe my plan worked! Just goes to show you how having three minecraft accounts can bring abou such amazing occurences... yes three. Didn't you guess by now? I'm your precious Snug! I thought you were smart.. I've set this all up, obviously. I PMed you the server thread link. I gave you the sword, and a person to call "Friend". I provided you will the tools to win against the Enderdragon, although you did lose didn't you? Yet, I prepared for that too! I win here Tom, I win. Look in your inventory Tom, do it. Look what the item you got was!"
I did. It was a dragon egg. The dragon was a girl. I took her baby. Could this be what Geo was trying to steal from the dragon's roost? "Yes. I wanted the egg. Its funny, because I'm the server admin. I could spawn them, right? WRONG! I installed Mysterypack, a server mod making things a lot more interesting. Legendary swords with sacred powers, secret beasts you may never even realize are there... and the best part is, it's not listed. I had no idea of what to expect from it. I devoted all my time to studing the new features, but came across a problem. Mysterypack disables all unfair advantages. No spawning items, no teleporting, it all had to be achieved fairly. That was easy enough, I descovered the potion of teleportation rather quickly, but the End posed a difficulty. The dragon was vamped up. I couldn't beat it, beause the roost would have been lost forever. I needed to gain the dragon's trust. You helped me there!"
"Why would I want the egg? Well, I have a source that claims Mysterypack adds baby dragons! Imagine the possibilities for a tamed dragon! I would be so fly! Literally! I mean, that is the kind of thing I want more than the world. And I got it. Now, to collect the gift!" The top layer of the glass box vanished, and down fell Geo. With a bow. He said one final message before killing me. "You used to be a force of power! Then, you took an arrow in the knee." I didn't respawn. The screen just read, "You Have Been Banned!".
Geoman chuckled. He laughed for about 5 minutes, and then the egg started cracking. Out came a baby dragon, the size of a block. "You are mine now! Mine, you hear me! Now, what shall I name you? Kevin? Nah... How about... Tom. I like it. HehehehehHAHAHAHAHAH!"
THE END
Rana Vs. Steve BEGIN!!!
RANA:
So you woke up on an island and now your all alone,

BIG DEAL! I drop apples, you drop nothing but crap!
Your so lame, and so quiet, I'm not sure you can rap!
Steve:
Listen furry, you are cute, but thats just a facade,
your only existance now is inside a mod!
You were scrapped with the other lame ideas of Dock,
lemme get some TnT and blow you off this block!
If a creeper and MinecraftChick had a little kid,
you would be the froggy crap that the baby would ****!
Now besides the fact that I am the essence of creation,
I'm also better cuz unlike you I have moving animation!
Rana:
Listen BRO, this whole rap is going too slow,
lemme get Black Steve (not racist, read this: http://www.minecraft...iki/Black_Steve) to show you how I roll!
Black Steve:

I heard your modeled after a dude from teen titans,
you're lame, not in the game, you know what I mean?
Is it true what kermit said, "It's not easy being Green."
Nobody could tell the difference between you and a toon,
I'm as iconic as the man in the moon!
And if you still feel like fighting a lost cause,
maybe this little fact will give you a pause,
if we went to court, who would the judge believe?
Beast Boy? Don't joke. The answer is STEVE!
And just for one more blow to the crotch,
I've always been the favorite of Notch!
