Hello all, this is an idea that I wanted to make for a Minecraft movie but... I figured it's way easier to write it down. Hope you enjoy it. Here's part one, stay tuned for the next one in this thread.
A Miner Named
STEVE
Steve lived most of his life underground as a full-time miner, working for a company called Skiltz Resources. He collected many different types of minerals that would be placed into production; diamonds, coal, and sometimes he even collected lava.
One day he went into an underground cave alone, his partner had gotten sick and he refused to let that stop his progress in mining. Even though the company told him to cancel the mission, he was very dedicated to his job, especially because of the Resource Depression society was cutting through.
He went under a cave in Finland, very far from his family. After mining for 8 hours, finding nothing but cobble, he finally found a huge entrance that had already been lit up with torches. He spoke on his phone to his boss, "It looks like somebody's been down here already... one of our guys."
"Impossible, we've never had any of our miners down in Finland before. It could just have been a Finnish mining group," his boss responded.
"No, the torches have our logo on it, it obviously was someone from our group," Steve said.
"Hmm. Keep looking, see what you find, get back to me on your results," the boss said.
Steve sighed and said, "Roger that."
He walked forward into the cave to find another room lit up, but this time it was lit up by lava, not a torch. This room contained a lot of redstone. "I found enough redstone to fill the inventory!" Steve said in the phone. "I can't get all of it though, there's lava in the way. I'll get a few pieces."
"Roger that," his boss said.
All of the sudden there was a strange sound behind Steve, it sounded like somebody was choking but trying to scream at the same time. Steve jumped and turned around in a fright, getting his diamond pickaxe out just in case.
"Are you alright down there?" his boss asked.
"I..." Steve was going to tell his boss what happened but decided not to, "I'm alright."
"Roger that, just tell me when you need to evacuate," his boss said.
Steve continued to mine the last of the redstone and moved on into a darker room to the left. The walls were loaded with coal and diamond. He might have even saw some gold. "Another jackpot, sir. I'm sure this is the last room I'll have to go through then I'm getting out of here straight away," Steve said.
"Roger that," the phone said.
As Steve began mining, he noticed something strange. There was something blocking the light from the last room he was in. The worst part was that... whatever was blocking the light shifted to the side.
"I need to get out of here, I think there's an animal in here," Steve whispered into the phone, but then he dropped it, shaking a lot. The phone hit the volume up button when it dropped. His boss responded and it came out very loud, "Why do you think that?"
Steve stared at the area, holding his pickaxe to defend himself. Then all of the sudden, a chocking/moaning sound happened. Steve ran for his life in the opposite direction, finding old tracks for railcarts. At the end of where he was running to, he found an abandoned railcart with a chest inside it. He opened the chest and find two pieces of bread, 5 redstone blocks, and a letter. He collected the items inside and read the letter, "There's something in here, I'm probably going to die. Here's everything I have, get out fast."
The sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer, louder and louder. Steve found himself hopeless, so he held up a torch, and after seeing a man who looked rotten and was dark green, he swung his pickaxe at it, killing it.
Steve ran back to the room lit by lava to find something disturbing beyond what his eyes could see. He couldn't explain it more than a large snake with four legs on a body that hung below its neck, but it was staring right at him and hissed. He was frozen in fright. His natural reaction was to hit it with a pickaxe, not knowing what this creature was capable of. It crawled towards him so he swung his pickaxe, only to find the creature was puffing very quickly, tweeking and puffing. Before Steve's pickaxe could hit it... BOOM! It exploded. Steve was knocked unconscious from the explosion.
A day or two later he woke up in a forest filled with trees. The sun hung straight above him in the middle of the sky. He pushed himself up and wondered how he got there. His pickaxe was missing, his helmet, his materials... everything was missing. All he was left with was his blue t-shirt, shoes, and jeans.
He searched in his pockets, shoes, everywhere on his body that he could hold things at, but found no materials. He had nothing, not even his pickaxe had he carried with him. More worried about how to survive, but he still had the curiosity of how he got there... and what was that thing.
