Chapter 11: Rapture Rupture It took me three months to build this underwater residence. It's pretty tough, though, and I think one or two Builders drowned while building the Rapture. Serves them right for not wearing their O2 tank properly.
(Leader of RFCTKS, Rui Fung)
"Stickman. You must be kidding me. Rapture is the hardest contraption I have ever made, and everyone likes it, except you. I've spent plenty of time and even risked my life to build this underwater residence, so give me a reason why you hate the Rapture!" Rui demanded.
"I never said I hated it! I just hate those things, they're swimming in the sea..." I protested, pointing out the glass wall.
"Squids? What the hell dude... There's a famous YouTuber, who is afraid of squids--"
"Isn't that me? I'm also a YouTuber!" I interrupted Rui.
"Wait, I haven't finished my sentence yet. Anyway, this dude claims that gold ingots are actually butter. The worst thing is that he pronounced it as 'budder'. You're already like him because both of you fear squids. Don't tell me you're going to have gold ingots in your sandwich," Rui said.
"Of course not," I replied. We walked forward until we passed by a row of houses, and Rui began to explain the history of Rapture (which is kinda boring, though). There weren't many people living here, probably because of the limited space in Rapture. Once we passed by a large house, Rui suddenly stopped walking.
"I'm not sure if Chris has told you about this or not, but you know TheMask, right? This is his house," Rui said, pointing at the house in front of us.
"Wow, what a nice house he got there. And yes, Chris told me before, he's your bodyguard," I said, observing the house.
"Co-Admin to be exact. He's also known as the Landlord of Rapture. Mask is also very good in machinery stuff, which I know that he helped me to build the tesla towers," Rui said. Suddenly, the front door opened, and someone came out.
"Hey Rui. You brought someone here because he's trying to grief my land?" The man asked. His voice was very deep, and he was wearing a mask. Suits his name, I thought.
"No. This is EmozChris' eldest brother, ProStickman. He's new to here today, and I'm just showing him around here. He just said he didn't like Rapture very much," Rui said.
"Young boy, you have no idea about this. All these months we risked our lives to build this underwater residence. Our glass walls cracked so many times that the seawater could have drowned us those times. Even though there were casualities, we couldn't simply put our lives in danger just to rescue them. Our priority is to finish Rapture as soon as possible, and we accomplished our task in just three month. I rather hope you can appreciate the Rapture, instead of hating it. Anyway, they call me TheMask."
"Mask. I wonder why do you wear a mask? It really fits your name, though," I asked.
"I got my face burned when I was building a tesla tower for the first time. That electricity shock could've killed me if Rui didn't pull me out on time. I wore a mask ever since," Mask said, pointing at his face. "What are you looking at? You wanna sign your signature on my mask?"
"No thanks, besides I don't have a pen at all. Anyway, what I wanted to say is why I don't like this place. There are annoying squids swimming out there, and I hate them! Can't you just build a few more tesla towers to kill them all?" I asked.
"You idiot. Do you want all of us to get electrocuted? I rather suggest we make truce with the squids and--"
BOOM!!!
"Damn! An explosion! I've already warned everyone not to place explosions here!" Mask grunted.
"Look, is that... a creeper?" I asked, pointing somewhere.
"Oh no, don't you ever explode in here!" Mask shouted, rushing towards the creeper.
HISSSSS!!!
"NOOOOO!!!"
BOOM!!!
After the creeper exploded, it sent Mask flying towards us. The explosion also blew up parts of the glass wall, causing seawater to flow inside quickly.
"Damn!" Mask grunted upon landing on the ground. After he got up, he said, "If this place is flooded, everyone inside here will drown! I'm going back to inform everyone to evacuate via the broadcast system!"
"Alright! Inform the Builders to come here immediately! We need them to fix that hole!" Rui said to Mask. Suddenly, an arrow flied out from nowhere, and hit Rui's helmet.
"Damn! Skeletons!" Rui grunted, unsheating his sword-- A blue one to be exact, which is a material I've not seen before. He charged forward and sliced the skeletons in front of him. All the skeletons died under a single blow to each of them. I was amazed by Rui's actions-- That blue sword he was holding, it could kill those skeletons quickly, like a one-hit-kill...
"Wow! Rui! What's the sword you're holding?" I asked eagerly.
"Crafted by pure diamonds. It's harder, better, stronger, faster than your iron sword. Diamonds are extremely rare, and you need a lot of luck to find their ores in caves," Rui answered, raising the diamond sword. I could see the sword shining brightly, even though the sea blocked most of the sunlight from coming in.
"I envy you a lot, but I have better weapons than you," I said, raising my flail, while swinging it. As the skeletons came closer to us, I bashed them until their bones broke. After for a while, I became dizzy and let go of my flail, which sent it flying towards a few more skeletons. The flail managed to smash all their heads, but it continued to fly straight until it smashed the glass wall, and it's stuck there.
"Look at what you've done!" Rui said, pointing at my flail. I went to the wall to pull my flail, but it's dead stuck until I couldn't pull it out at all.
"Don't!" Rui shouted. Before I could listen to him, I somehow managed to pull my flail out, but on second though, I regretted pulling it out. My flail had already made a large hole in the glass wall, and seawater came out like a geyser, causing more seawater to flow inside. That geyser blasted me away back to Rui's feet, I was fine, but my whole body was soaked.
"Damn! Chris is going to kill me because of this outfit!" I swore loudly.
"There's no time to complain! Kill all these skeletons before they could reach us!" Rui said, dashing forward with his diamond sword. I took out my battleaxe, and fought the skeletons with Rui. As we fought those skeletons, the water level was rising, and I could see lots of bones floating on the water.
"There's too many of them! I can't push them back!" Rui said, finishing off the skeletons beside him.
"But I have a plan," I said, raising my Spear Launcher. I lined up the targets, and fired a spear towards the skeletons at maximum power. The spear flew so quickly that it managed to pierce a few skeletons' heads, and killed them instantly.
"I was stunned... The weapon you're holding, it killed so many skeletons with a single shot?" Rui said, "May I know what is this magnificient weapon you're using?" Rui asked.
"It's a Spear Launcher, crafted by an old man. He didn't give me the recipe though. And for the record, 10-KILL-STREAK from that spear just now," I said.
"Stop boasting. Ready to kill the remaining bastards here?"
"Ready when you are."
We charged forward, and managed to kill the remaining skeletons. Unfortunately, the water level is getting higher, until I couldn't stand on my own feet.
"It's going to rise above our heads! Let's leave this place before we drown!" Rui said.
"Wait... I think someone's there!" I said. "He's wearing a scuba outfit, and he's trying to flee!"
"Right!" Rui said to me, and he chased the mysterious figure. "Come back here, and don't try to escape!"
The scuba diver didn't respond to Rui. Instead, he kept on swimming forward. He was too quick for us to catch up in the water.
"He's heading to the StarGate!" Rui shouted.
"He won't escape!" I said, taking out my Spear Launcher again. I adjusted the power, and fired a spear towards the scuba diver. The spear flied in the seawater as if it was a proton beam flying in space. The spear continued to fly forward until it approached him...
STAB!!!
The spear managed to pin his leg onto the ground, and he's stuck. We swimmed towards him, and Rui put his sword at the dude's beck, while waiting for me to pull out the spear from his leg.
"Who do you work for? Answer me!" Rui furiously demanded.
"Mmphh!" The scuba diver groaned. It seemed that he couldn't talk with the diving mask on his mouth.
"No answers, eh? I'm taking you away for the IT."
"IT?" I asked.
"Interrogation and Torture," Rui explained. "I'll be taking him to the prison, which is located in the town square. Meanwhile, the Builders are already here." Rui pointed to the StarGate. There were a group of people coming out from the StarGate, some of them holding toolboxes, some of them holding glass blocks.
"Sir, we're not beginning the repairs. The water level isn't very high as we expected. but we can fix this without our O2 tanks. Any unexpected situations, we'll contact you ASAP," one of the Builders said.
"Good. As for you, Stickman-- You'll go back to your brother's house to get a change of clothes. Later, you are free to explore the town by yourself."
"Alright then... Which StarGate is the closest to his house?"
"TerraNova TreeHouse. Just bear in mind that you should not fall down from there. Last time, some bummer accidentally fell down and--"
"I'll keep that in mind," I interrupted, walking to the StarGate. I inputted the details, and teleported to the TreeHouse.
Chapter 12: Meeting Of The Admins Once an Admin, always an Admin. You betray, you die.
(Motto of the Admins, designed by Rui Fung)
TerraNova TreeHouse, Island of RFCTKS: 14 September 2011, 3:10p.m.
Once I reached the TreeHouse, I found myself stuck in a tree. Rays of sunlight came in from the outside, since the leaves were blocking most of the sunlight from coming in. I followed the main path (since there are two different types of wooden planks), and found a spiral stairs made up of random types of wooden planks. With the help of the illumination of the torches on the walls, I walked all the way to the bottom without falling down.
After I've reached downstairs, I exited the TreeHouse and I can see Chris' house right in front of me. As I walked towards his house, I turned my head to look at the TreeHouse. It was like Mother Nature's most beautiful creation in the world, and I wonder if this tree could provide wisdom or not...
Hopefully, no one will chop down this tree.
EmozChris' House, Island of RFCTKS: 14 September 2011, 3:15p.m.
Once I reached home, Chris opened the door and gave me a dirty look again.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!?" Chris angrily shouted. "I've already told you, that's my EXPENSIVE OUTFIT!!! You soaked the whole in water, and it smells like seawater now!"
"Wait! Let me explain! Just now, Rui brought me to the Rapture, and we were attacked by a creeper and many skeletons. The creeper blew up parts of the glass wall, which caused the Rapture to flood!" I explained quickly.
"No wonder I saw lots of Builders running outside. But I don't think that any monsters could get in the town, and so is the Rapture..." John said.
"That's peculiar. However, Rui and I caught this dude who's trying to escape from the scene. He was wearing a scuba outfit."
"Weird. Did you guys find anything else?" Chris asked.
"Nothing, but Rui said he's taking this dude to the prison for the IT."
"IT. Perhaps if I could get some information... I'll be right back. By the way, your old outfit is already cleaned and you can wear them back now."
"So fast? I left like more than an hour and--"
"Quick-Clean technology. The washing machine here washes it 100 perfect clean, and it dries your clothes instantly, too," John said, passing my clothes to me.
"Thanks." I went back to my room, and changed my clothes. After that, I went to the balcony to view the scenery of this town. As for now, I could enjoy the relaxing moment-- No mining, no hunting, no building, no talking...
No talking.
I felt like something in my life is missing. There weren't much people who I could talk to in this island. Suddenly, I missed the times in my island-- Having meals with Red and the others, mining with Athena, building with Luna, farming with Cupquake, hunting with Jaime, visiting Kain, and talking to my sister, Jane...
I'm homesick. I missed my island so much... Somehow I felt like sobbing, so I took off my vision gear, and rubbed my eyes, but suddenly I realized something... My vision gear's new function.
On the night of my brothers' return, Red actually helped me to modify my vision gear with a frequency based walkie-talkie function. He also gave me his frequency so that I can contact him anywhere, anytime.
I picked up my vision gear, and dialed in Red's frequency. I hit the 'Call' button, and waited for Red to answer the call...
"Red?"
"Stick... Is that you?"
"Here we go. Just helped the Town Owner to capture a griefer. He's trying to bring down an area into flooding chaos."
"Wow. So what happened to him?"
"I don't know, Chris is going to the prison to check out the situation. By the way, how's it going around there?"
"Smooth and steady, no threats detected." There was a pause in his voice. "Your sister wants to talk to you."
"Alright," I said. "Jane?"
"Bro! I missed you so much. How are you doing there?"
"I'm starting to miss home... I promise to come home soon, okay?"
"I hope so... Come back soon! Bye!"
"Goodbye sis!"
"Alright Stick, call us soon if you need anything."
"Okay. Bye Red, take care."
"You too."
As soon Red ended the call, I went back into the room, and lied down on my bed, thinking about what happened earlier in the Rapture. Landlord Mark, horrifying squids, skeletons' invasion, Rui's diamond sword, unknown scuba diver... Suddenly, I felt very tired, and began to doze off again...
EmozChris' House, Island of RFCTKS:
14 September 2011, 7:00p.m.
Damn. First is the alarm clock, now comes the doorknocks? I woke up and quickly headed to the door to open it. I wasn't surprised to see Chris standing in front of the door, becauase I knew he's got something to inform me.
"Looks like they got a meeting-- An Admin Meeting to be exact. Rui decided to kill this dude tomorrow, but I'm not sure if he's gonna chop his head off in front of everyone during general assembly, in the town square because he griefed Rapture. Worst of all, this dude is a traitor-- He was part of the Guards, but he left us without a reason, and migrated out of this town, to a tribe called... 'We Want Diamonds'," Chris said.
"Funny name, though. But where is this tribe located?" I asked.
"Like I said, out of town. Unfortunately, we don't have the exact location now. Looks like Rui's gonna track them down later."
"Well, why not we find them instead? Perhaps we can get some answers..."
"I don't know where to start searching from, but I've got a plan."
"Which is?" I asked again.
"I'm going to eavesdrop on the Admins during their meeting later. The meeting is going to be held in the Auditorium, 8p.m. sharp. You wanna come?" Chris asked.
"Sure... But I don't think it's a good idea..."
Auditorium, Island of RFCTKS:
14 September 2011, 7:50p.m.
"Damn! Luckily there is a StarGate here!" I grunted.
"We could've be late if it's not here... Next time, no meals during crucial situations," Chris said.
"Screw you."
I was about to enter the Auditorium, but Chris pulled me away from the entrance.
"Are you a fool? This is not some common meeting, this is an Admins Meeting! If you go in there, you'll be captured on sight, and be sent to jail! Even the Guards are not allowed inside!" Chris yelled at me.
"Then... How are we gonna spy on them?" I asked.
"Follow me. I know where to hide."
Chris led me to a backdoor, and opened the door which leads to a storeroom. Once we got inside the room, Chris locked the door, and told me to look at the hole in a wall. I peeped through the hole, and saw a few people inside. It was Rui, Mask and a few other Admins I have not seen before, and it seems that the meeting had started not long ago. I tried to put my ear next to the hole, but I heard nothing.
"Chris, I can't hear a thing," I whispered.
"Shh..." Chris instructed me to keep quiet, and handed over an empty tin can to me. I placed the tin can next to the hole, and listened to the conversation...
"You think we want traitors in our town? Of course not!" Someone shouted.
"But he's demanding diamonds for the Guards! Can't you see his tribe's name?" Another Admin said loudly.
"Settle down first, guys," a rough voice came out, and I recognized it as Mask's voice. "As you see, we already made those Guards to swear upon the Oathborn. We have put their lives in danger so many times, and that's why we have rewarded them with iron ingots. However, this case is very odd-- A Guard who could betray us by griefing our town, and giving an excuse that he wanted diamonds?"
"I've told you a thousand times, give them at least a diamond each, and this situation won't even happen!" a voice appeared from a young Admin.
"Shut up, Fruit, you're the youngest among us," someone next to him said. "If we gave them diamonds, do we have any diamonds left?"
And then a chorus of quarreling voices came out. Looks like everyone was trying to disagree each other's opinions.
"SILENCE!!!" A loud voice came out, and everyone else kept quiet. "I am the Head Admin here, and I have all the rights to make my decision! All of you below are supposed to give out ideas to Mask and Adam, so that they can analyse your ideas to help me finalize my decision! If us Admins just continue to argue and to mind your own business, how are we supposed to rule this town? How are we supposed to protect our town from those savages outside?"
And then there was a silence, until an applause came out. I turned my head, and whispered to Chris, "Seriously? No diamonds for you?"
"I'll never seen anyone except the Admins who have diamonds stuffed in their pockets. I'm starting to think why the citizens who work as Miners are unable to find a single diamond at all," Chris said.
"But Rui told me that diamonds are rare..."
"No matter how rare are they, you can still find one or two in a large radius. The problem is, rumor stated that some of the Miners made a huge quarry to mine all the ores, but a single diamond could not be found at all."
"That's strange, or the Miner are very unlucky." I put my ear at the tin can again to see if the meeting was still going on or not. The good news is, the Admins are still talking...
"For now, I have the exact location of the tribe's location." Rui paused for a while, and said, "X-axis is +287, Z-axis is +319."
"Damn these coordinates. Luckily, I know where to go," Chris whispered.
"And what are we going to do tomorrow?" One of the Admins asked.
"Good question, Brain. We'll hunt down the tribe, and kill everyone there, regardless traitor or not," Rui said. "Any more questions to ask?" If no, I assume everyone is ready for tomorrow's plan."
There was another silence.
"Good. The meeting ends now, all of you are now dismissed."
I turned back to Chris again, and asked, "What are you going to do, then?"
"Some of the people there used to be part of my team. Since they have betrayed me, I must be the one to draw first blood on them!" Chris swore. "Let's go home now, we need enough energy for tomorrow!"
We crept out from the storeroom, and silently vanished using the StarGate.
Chapter 13: Loyal Or Betray
I hate to put it this way, but no diamonds but the Guards and all other citizens. You gotta mine them if you need them so much. As for us Admins, we also mined them bu ourselves, so don't expect us to give you all free diamonds.
(Leader of RFCTKS,
Rui Fung)
EmozChris's House, Island of RFCTKS:
15 September 2011, 8:15a.m.
"Goddamnit, we're going to be late!" I swore loudly, packing my equipment.
"If it wasn't for you to get up late... We're supposed to get up by 8.a.m. sharp! If we don't go any faster, the Admins will reach there first!" Chris yelled at me.
"Then let's go!" I said, taking a bread before leaving the house.
South Gate, Island of RFCTKS:
15 September 2011, 8:30a.m.
Chris brought me to a gate which was guarded by a few guards. He said, "This is one of the four gates which controls the movement of our citizens and outsiders. The guards require you to show them your ID card whenever you enter or exit the town."
As we walked towards the gate, the Guards blocked our way. One of them said, "Halt! Please state your identities!"
Both of us passed our ID cards to the Guard.
"EmozChris and ProStickman... You are permitted to leave the town," the Guard said, returning our ID cards to us.
"Luckily you remembered my name, but I don't remember yours. Anyway, have you seen a group of Admins exiting the town?" Chris asked.
"Nope. Why do you want to find out?"
"I was looking for Rui, but when I got to the town hall, the receptionist told me that he and the Admins have exited the town," Chris lied.
"Very well. And what about your brother?"
"I'm going out to mine later," I lied, raising my pickaxe.
"Citizen ProStickman. Perhaps you didn't know you could go to our town's mine to go mining instead. I suggest not to leave plenty of holes outside the town, but if you insist on mining out of town, go ahead then," the Guard said to me.
"Alright, let's go."
Wilderness, Island of RFCTKS:
15 September 2011, 8:40a.m.
We headed south-east in order to reach the tribe's location. Chris mentionedd that the destination was about 400 to 500 blocks from the town, so we had to keep our speed up. As we passed through the wilderness, there were forests, hills, and rivers like the ones on my island. I was starting to wonder if this island was once a part of my island or not... It brings back memories during the early stages on my island.
Suddenly, Chris shouted loud enough to make me jump, and could even cause all the tress to collapse.
"DAMN!!! I got fooled!" Chris swore loudly.
"What do you mean?" I asked. "Don't tell me we came to the wrong place?"
"No. It's the Admins. You know we are actually heading to the south-east direction, right? I think the Admins could be one step ahead us now, because they might've exited the town via the East Gate. No wonder the Guard said that they haven't exited the town, just because he didn't see them at all."
"What if the Guard said everything that's true? What if they haven't exited the town when we're at the South Gate? We can still reach there first! Let's go now!" I encouraged Chris.
"Alright! Let's do this!" Chris shoouted. We continued to head forward until we encountered a group of spiders next to a forest. I was about to raise my battleaxe to chop off their heads, but Chris stopped me.
"If you attack them, we're going to be in big trouble!" Chris said.
"Why? I thought spiders are hostile mobs?" I asked.
"Not exactly. A spider under daylight will remain neutral unless provoked. If you lure it into darkness, it becomes hostile and attacks you even if you bring it back to daylight."
"Wow... So we better be careful here..."
We carefully walked past those spiders without making a noise. After that, we encountered a horde of zombies hiding in the woods, but they were no match for our fighting skills.
“I got seven. What about you?” Chris asked.
“Seven zombies, too,” I said.
“Whoa, looks like we’re in equilibrium.”
“Yeah, right.” I looked to the front, and saw a small house not far from us. “Chris, is that the tribe’s house?” I asked, pointing at the house.
“You may be right. Let’s go before it’s too late!”
We Want Diamonds Tribehouse, Island of RFCTKS: 15 September 2011, 10:05a.m.
We carefully sneaked closed to the house to see if anyone was at home or not. And to be sure enough, we heard laughing voices from the inside. I eavesdropped on the people inside, and it looked like they were joking and talking about nonsense.
“What do we do now?” I asked Chris.
“You go check if there’s any backdoor or not. If there is, ambush them from the behind. I’ll attack them from the front,” Chris said.
I ran to the backyard, and found a door to the house. I tried to open it, but it’s locked, so I grabbed my battleaxe, and chopped the door with it.
“What the—What’s going on?” A voice came from inside. Once I have successfully broken down the door, I rushed inside and saw lots of people inside, looking nervous and anxious. One of them stood up, and pointed his sword at me, and said, “It’s just one weak dude! Let’s show him the power of us! Charge!”
All of them stood up, and grabbed their weapons, “Prepare to die now, weakling!” He shouted. Seeing tons of people with weapons, I couldn’t rush forward and attack them, but to defend instead. I tried to parry all of their attacks, but my iron swords were no good-- They broke after parrying those attacks…
“Stop!” A voice came from the front door. It was Chris, holding something I’ve never seen before. “Release him, or I’ll set off this TNT!”
“We didn’t capture him!” The man said. “He just broke into our house!”
Chris walked forward to the man, and pinned him to the wall. “Look at me! Do you still remember me?” Chris demanded.
“You’re… EmozChris? But why?”
“I can’t believe you’ve betrayed me. Yesterday, your tribe sent someone to grief the town. Is it true?”
“Rui Fung and the others left me no choice. All these years I’ve slain the most wanted criminals in the town, and defended the town from those hordes of monsters in those endless nights, what I had from him was only iron ingots. I wanted those diamonds so much that I took leaves so often because I tried to mine them myself. No matter how hard I’ve tried, I couldn’t find a single diamond at all! Now I’m not going to talk about my story, but the Miners-- Not a single of them could even mine a single diamond at all!”
“And give me a goddamn reason why I shouldn’t kill you. Make it quick!”
“It’s time for revenge! We need this payback to show them what the aftereffects of greed are! Nobody knows why only the Admins have diamonds, but we know! We know!”
“Fine. Explain to me and I may spare you, regarding if your facts make sense or not,” Chris said, releasing the man from his grip.
“I believe that the Admins are trying to hoard all the diamonds to keep them for themselves. They’re hiding the diamonds in the town hall, probably the storage room, and I ain’t talking lies here. Last time, I was on duty of guarding the town hall’s front entrance, and a young Admins was pushing a cart towards the door. I couldn’t see the contents inside the cart, but the cart was bulky and overfilled since there was a cloth tied to it, while covering the contents too. Suddenly, something dropped out from the cart-- It’s a diamond.”
“Go on.”
“The Admin panicked at that moment, and he quickly picked up the diamond, and hid it in his pocket. He turned his face to look at me, and then quickly pushed the cart away. From what I’ve seen, his facial expression was extremely nervous, and I suspected that he must be transporting diamonds to the Admins. As I’ve said, the Admins were planning to use the diamonds to construct something… I don’t think they’ll use them for diamond armor and swords only, but something indestructible instead…”
“Alvin, are you sure that you’ve heard one of the Admins say that? Something INDESTRUCTIBLE that can resist explosions from a thousand TNTs?” Chris asked. This was the first time I heard the man’s name.
“My information is considered precious. If you don’t believe, there are actually a few spies in the town. Some of them were also trying to assassinate Rui Fung and the Admins--“
“GOD DAMNIT ALVIN!!! HAVE YOU GUYS LOST YOUR MINDS!?” Chris furiously shouted at everyone.
“Look, I know this is crazy, but if we don’t expose Rui’s plans, he may become a dictator. Soon, he’ll bring damnation upon us by abusing the power of diamonds. As everyone knows, diamond is considered the strongest material, for now. If we don’t stop him now, he may use diamonds to craft an overpowered weapon, not a diamond sword,” Alvin explained calmly. “We tried using peace-- To ask for diamonds, so all Citizens can have diamonds, but it didn’t work. Today, we will use brute force against him, and we will not stop until the day we die.”
“And what about the Oathborn?” Chris demanded.
“That STONE sword, is just a mere fake. He tried using it to force us to swear upon it. The Guards believe that any actions that they’ve committed can be seen by his eye, so no one dared to betray him. However, I was the first to prove this theory wrong. Rui never knew my schemes to betray him, he is just a fool.” Alvin paused for a while, then said, “Chris, to be loyal to him, or to betray him, it’s your choice.”
“Fine. I’ll trust you this time.”
“Enemies spotted ahead! They’re coming for us!” One of the tribe members shouted.
“It’s the Admins!” Chris said. “Last night they planned about killing all of you, and-- Never mind, I will help you to escape, but I can’t go out like this, my cover will be blown…”
“We have masks,” Alvin said, tossing them to Chris and me. “Ben, release the creepers now! Let’s use them as a diversion so that we will have extra time to escape!”
“Roger that, sir!” The member shouted, then ran into a room.
“Creepers?” I asked. “But I thought they are hostile?”
“Benladin is a master in taming mobs. Don’t worry, the creepers will listen to his commands, and blow up those Admins soon,” Alvin explained. “Pancho, is the escape tunnel ready?” “All ready, sir. Prepare for evacuation,” he said.
“Men! Into the tunnel now!”
Everyone started running into the escape tunnel, while carrying the tribe’s resources out from the tribehouse. Chris helped to set up the TNTs with Alvin so that they can blow up the house later.
“You must be Chris’ brother,” Alvin said to me. “Very good, are you willing to join forces with us?”
“Yes. By the way, the name’s ProStickman, leader of Strike Force PS,” I said.
“Good. Now, your task is to escort all my members to somewhere else safe and undetectable. If we fail, we all die. Do you understand?”
“Yes. But how are you going to find us later?” I asked.
“Take this. I can track your location later,” Alvin said, passing me a device. “Now go!”
I pushed myself through the crowd of people, and stopped the members’ movement. I said, “Your leader assigned me to escort all of you to a new place. However, I am very unfamiliar with this island. Any suggestions?”
“Just bring us somewhere else far away from this place!”
“Alright then…” I led everyone out from the tunnel, and brought them away from the danger zone.
Unknown cave, Island of RFCTKS: 15 September 2011, 2:00p.m.
God. I’m very tired after running this far. Fortunately, the members were able to catch up. Pancho came towards me, and said, “The name’s PanchoCooper. I’m the Defense Captain of this tribe. Anyway, thanks for bringing us to a cave like this. We’ll clear out the monster inside and set up our new base here. Your cooperation is much appreciated.”
“But what about your leader? Is he going to be alright?” I asked.
“He’s very successful in everything-- Look, the man is here,” Pancho said, pointing to a figure heading towards us. It was Alvin, with Chris and Ben following him. “We did it!” Alvin shouted to us.
“You mean… The Admins were killed?” Pancho asked.
“Of course not! They retreated after they saw the whole house explode! They might’ve thought that we’re dead!”
“Well, I think you guys will be safe for a while. But I think Rui will go mad later, and kill that griefer--“
“What!?” Alvin shouted, which interrupted me. “That dude is our Master Of Sabotage, a.k.a. ArcaniteChill! We cannot lose him!”
“I’m sorry. I got him captured by Rui because of me… If only I had found out the truth earlier…” I confessed.
“It’s okay, since you didn’t even know us yet on that day. But for now, we are going to save him!” Alvin said loudly.
“Alvin, do you remember what time does Rui kills those griefers after the IT?” Chris asked.
“Mostly during the evenings. Rui’s going to have his head off in front of the public-- The General Assembly.”
“So we’re going to rescue him in the public…” Pancho said.
“Yes. Pancho, you stay here and build the secret base. Inform Wiz to set up a new StarGate so we can teleport later,” Alvin commanded.
“Yes sir!” Pancho ran into the cave with a few members.
“StarGate? But--“
“StarGates can be created and destroyed anytime, anywhere. Besides, we know the databases to create one, so we can create one, and shut it down as soon our men have finished the mission,” someone interrupted me. “By the way, the name’s Wiz, Head Engineer of the tribe.”
“Nice to meet you,” I said.
“Well, I heard Rui mentioning me to build the new StarGate. I better be off now.” Wiz also ran into the cave to join the team.
“Chris and Stick. You must stay at home until we have rescued Chill, then you are free to do anything you like in the town. Do not let the Admins find out that the both of you are working as spies,” Alvin said.
“But I’m on duty during General Assemblies. I can’t stay at home,” Chris said.
“Oh yeah, I’ve almost forgotten. Well then, you’ll need to fake a chase. Don’t just stand there while we escape, or else the Admins will suspect you.”
“Understood.”
“As for you, Stick, contact me if things go wrong. Do you have anything to use to contact me?”
“My vision gear. It comes with a frequency-based walkie-talkie function.”
“Good. The frequency for me is 172.89. Do not contact me unless you are at somewhere private. For now, the both of you, return to the town now.”
“Roger that.”
Chapter 14: The Escape Plan Team Alpha, we’re going to rescue Chill soon. Make every second count and do not lose him. Do not engage the Admins to battle unless you’re forced to, then return to the base via the StarGate in the town square. Good luck.
(Leader of We Want Diamonds, Former Guard of RFCTKS, Alvin, talking to Team Alpha)
EmozChris’ House, Island of RFCTKS: 15 September 2011, 4:30p.m.
“I’m going out now, It is confirmed that the General Assembly is going to start at 5p.m. sharp. You better stay at home,” Chris said to me.
“No. I must go too! I need to report to Alvin if things go wrong!” I protested.
“Are you sure you want to do this, Nicholas? You’re going to put all of us in danger if you do so!”
“I’m not an ordinary person. I’ve got this on my head,” I said, pointing to my vision gear. “If you think that you can detect enemies without this, go ahead and try it.”
“Very well. That beats me, but you must not fail us! Understood?”
“Yes. Let’s do this.”
Town Square, Island of RFCTKS: 15 September 2011, 4:50p.m.
Chris and I rushed to the town square as fast as we could, and as we had expected-- There were many people gathering at the town square. Rui and a few other Admins were standing in front of everyone else, facing towards them. Some guards stood behind the Admins, as if they’re on duty to protect the Admins.
“I have to get into my position. You have to blend into the crowd, or find somewhere else to contact Alvin. Do not blow our cover, or we will perish into dust,” Chris warned me.
“Alright,” I said, looking frightened when I saw a head-chopping machine next to the Admins. Maybe it’s meant for those people who were sentenced to death, but I imagined what if Rui found out that I was working as a spy, and then he will execute me…
“Citizens of RFCTKS, welcome again to the General Assembly!” A sharp and loud voice came out from the speakers. “Today, we are here to witness an unfaithful event… Guards! Bring out the traitor!”
A group of people gasped. Nobody knew why, or what happened, until the Guards brought somebody out to the stage. His face was concealed as there was a sack covering his head.
“This guy led an army of monsters to attack us! They griefed Rapture yesterday, and nearly flooded the whole thing! What’s worse is that, he was one of us! Ladies and gentlemen, do you think that he is evil?”
“Yes!” The crowd shouted.
“Should we kill him?”
“Yes! Kill him now! Show no mercy!”
“Very well! Guards, reveal his identity!” Rui shouted. The Guards pulled out the sack from his head. This is the first time I’ve seen Chill’s face, which is full of scars. I silently left the crowd, and crept into the alley to contact Alvin.
“Alvin! Come in!”
“What’s the situation?”
“Rui is going to have his head off anytime! You must get ready to extract him now!”
“Roger that. ETA 30 seconds.”
I went back into the crowd to check out the situation.
“Any last words, punk?” Rui asked Chill.
“You have no idea what are you doing now! You’re just a tyrant who keeps the diamonds for yourself. Soon, the Admins will turn into a bunch of corrupted bastards, and let darkness fall upon all of us! Then, RFCTKS will become into ‘Rui Fung Choose to Torture, Kill and Slay’! Killing me will not end this, you know, because killing me represents a new era, a new war, a new battle, and a new crisis!” Chill shouted.
“Booooo! Your words make no sense!” The crowd shouted.
“We don’t trust you! You’re a griefer, and a traitor to this town! Rest in hell!”
“Why not you suck on this, *******?” Someone shouted, throwing his shoe, which hit Chill’s face.
“Enough!” Rui shouted. “Let’s not wait anymore! Let’s kill him now!”
“YEAHHHHH!!!” The crowd cheered. The Guard urged Chill to the head-chopping machine. As Chill laid his head down, he closed his eyes, and waited for the moment that he gets executed. Suddenly...
“Hold it right there!” A familiar voice appeared from nowhere. “Name your price, and we’ll rebuild the Rapture for you, with the condition of releasing our man!” It was Alvin, who suddenly came out from nowhere.
“You want deals, eh? Fine, the price is that I’ll have his head off, and you’ll get your boy back and rebuild Rapture for me,” Rui said.
“You cunning scumbag,” Alvin spat out the words, while taking out his bow. “Men! Time to sabotage!” Alvin fired an arrow towards Rui, but Rui dodged it easily. “Guards! Seize this idiot!” Rui shouted. Suddenly...
“Ahh!!!”
A guard was stabbed in the back before everyone could realize what was going on. A few members from Alvin’s team showed up and seize Chill away. “Come and get us! You will not take our man away!” One of them shouted.
“Enough! KILL THEM ALL!!!” Ruin furiously shouted, taking out his diamond sword. All the Guards quickly rushed to the men to attack them, while Alvin ran away from the Admins who were pursuing him. He quickly climbed up a building, and ran on the rooftops.
“Alvin! Get down here and surrender! Soon, you and your men will die together!” Rui shouted from below.
“It’s a pity that you didn’t want to learn walljumping from me. Adios,” Alvin said, firing an arrow below him, and fled.
“God damn him!” Rui cursed. “Luckily that arrow didn’t hit me, or I’ll--”
BOOM!!!
There was an explosion on the building! The explosion caused lots of blocks to scatter apart, while flying towards the Admins as if it was a meteor shower. The Admins panicked and scrambled themselves backwards before the debris could land on their heads. Rui became mad again, and shouted, “YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!!!”
I quickly ran away from the scene and ducked into an alley to contact Alvin again.
“Is everything okay?”
“Negative. There are a few Guards chasing my team. I’m afraid that they will be outnumbered soon.”
“Wait. Do you see Chris following the Guards to chase your team?”
“He is. Soon, he will disappear from his group, and sabotage them instead.”
“Alright. The StarGate is close to your location, but I’ll have to get closer.”
I turned on my minimap, and followed the group of blue and red icons running away. Suddenly, I saw a blue icon separating from the group of red icons. That must be Chris, I thought to myself, then chased after Chris.
“Chris! What the hell are you doing?” I asked.
“Shh... I’m going to set up some TNTs to distract the Guards. Take this, it’s a smoke bomb,” Chris said, passing the bomb to me.
“What do you want me to do?”
“I expect that they’ll be running along that street later. Once you see them coming, throw that smoke bomb to distract the Guards, while letting the gang to come in this alley. In the meantime, I’ll activate the TNTs to scare those bastards away.
“I hear footsteps. Looks like they’re coming now.”
I peeped outside to see if Alvin’s team were coming or not, and to be sure enough, a bunch of Guards were chasing their tails. I threw the smoke bomb as soon they got closer, and directed the team to escape through the alley. Chris quickly went out and placed a few TNTs in the smokescreen, and quickly returned to us before the smoke faed. After that, he ignited one of the TNTs, and told us to flee from the alley.
“God! That smokescreen!” Now where the hell are all of them?” A Guard asked.
“Are you so dumb? They must be behind this smoke! But, why do I hear something” Another Guard asked.
The smokescreen faded, revealing the bunch of TNTs hidden inside.
“RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!”
BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!!
I contacted Alvin again while escaping with the team
“Alvin, your team is with me now. Is the StarGate clear?”
“It’s safe for now, but I can see the Admins patrolling on the other side! You have to hurry up now!”
“Roger that!”
We quickly ran towards the StarGate to rendezvous with Alvin. As soon we got there, Alvin was already inputting the details into the StarGate.
“What about us?” I asked, “We need to return home before Rui gets us!”
“There they are! Stop them!” A voice appeared from afar.
“Into the StarGate now! The both of you cannot blow your cover, or all of us will die!”
We entered the StarGate to escape the pursuit, and left the town again.
Chapter 15: Missing Diamonds If the Admins have an X-ray goggles to find some diamonds, why can’t we build one too? Exact sample from the StarGates.
(Head Engineer of We Want Diamonds, Wiz, talking to ProStickman)
Secret Base of We Want Diamonds, Island of RFCTKS: 15 September 2011, 5:30p.m.
After passing through the StarGate with the team, I found myself in a secret base. Looks like the team must’ve put some effort to build the new base, and the home for themselves.
“Wiz! Close the StarGate now!” Alvin said.
“Yes sir,” Wiz said, shutting down the StarGate to prevent the Admins from accessing.
“So, you guys have decided to camp here?” I asked.
“Yes. The Admins won’t find us easily for now, unless if they want to mine the whole base out. We will now wait for the time to launch an attack on the town again.”
“Well, hopefully I could develop some new weapons, too,” Wiz said.
“YOU!!! YOU THERE!!!” Someone shouted loudly.
I turned my head to see what’s going on. Someone came towards me, looking very angry, and said, “You little *******. It was you who helped that idiot to capture me, and I nearly got my head chopped off! You and your damned spear!”
“Calm down, Chill. He hasn’t found out the truth before he met us. Besides, he also helped you to escape death. You should’ve thanked him instead,” Alvin said to him.
“Sorry, and thanks. By the way, I’m ArcaniteChill, Master of Sabotage. Rui’s buildings are so ugly and stupid, so I will not hesitate to blow them up with TNTs!”
“Then... Why the Rapture?” I asked.
“His proudest creation shall fall first!”
“Stick, I need you and your brother to go back and investigate what’s Rui up to now. Chill needs to cool down for a while-- Maybe they had tortured him, and he might’ve lost his mind now,” Alvin said to me.
“Alright,” I said. “Come on, Chris. Let’s go.”
Town Square, Island of RFCTKS: 15 September 2011, 5:40p.m.
Chris and I went back to the town square, and we heard Rui ranting on the stage. He seemed very mad, probably because of the failure to capture Alvin’s team.
“WHAT THE FRICKING HELL WAS THAT?! YOU SONS OF A !!! HOW CAN YOU LET THEM ESCAPE THAT BLOODY EASY, FOOLS?”
“Sir, they set up a TNT trap to stop us! If we had rushed just now, all of us would have been blown up to bits!” A Guard protested.
“BLOODY HELL!!!” Rui cursed, pounding the Guard’s head. “WHERE THE HELL IS EMOZCHRIS?”
“I’m here,” Chris said, running to Rui’s side. “I wanted to contact the Tech Team, so that they’ll shut down all the StarGates before the griefers could use them to escape. Unfortunately, they said they’ll do it under an Admin’s order only.”
“DAMNIT!!! CHRIS, YOU’ll BE OFF DUTY FOR A MONTH!!! REPORT TO ME AFTER A MONTH FOR RECOMISSION!!!” Rui ordered furiously.
“I,,, Alright, Guard EmozChris off duty now.”
EmozChris’ House, Island of RFCTKS: 22 September 2011, 9:00a.m.
A week later...
“It’s not really good to be decommissioned like this... Without the Guard’s privileges, I’ll be suspected easily,” Chris said.
“I was starting to wonder if Alvin’s words were true or not, but I hope that he’s not lying to us,” I said.
“The good news is, some of the Citizens are questioning about the diamonds in the Admins’ hands. Some said that Chill’s words are true, and some of them even put up posters to protest the missing diamonds,” John said.
“You got to be kidding me!” I laughed. “Missing Item, Name: Diamond, Age: A long long time ago, Reward: Tons of diamonds. Contact if found at blah blah blah...”
“Nonsense. Stop talking crap,” Chris said.
“How about we go to the town’s mine to find the diamonds instead? Perhaps we can find some proof,” John said, walking to the chest.
“Good idea. Chris, you coming with us or not?” I asked.
“You idiot. If I’m going too, who’s going to take care of our little brother?” Chris asked.
“Never mind.”
As I went to gather my equipment, I got an incoming call.
“Stick! It’s Wiz here, Alvin gave me your frequency earlier. I need you to come to the base immediately, since I have developed a new device which might help you a lot.”
“Cool! But which StarGate should I use to get to you?”
“TerraNova TreeHouse. Our men has already waited for you to come.”
“Roger that.” I ended the call, and said to John, “Come on, I’m going to show you something before we go to the mine.”
Secret Base of We Want Diamonds, Island of RFCTKS: 22 September 2011, 9:15a.m.
After we teleported to the base, John was amazed.
“What is this place? I’ve never seen it before...” John said.
“Stick! You’re finally here! Wiz wanted to show you something-- And who’s this next to you?” Pancho asked.
“This is Jonathan, a.k.a flamy295, the Second Brother. For your information, I’m the first one, and Chris is the third,” I explained.
“Wow. So there are three of you?”
“Four. Our little brother is too young to perform operations for now.”
“THE FOUR HORSEMEN!!!” Pancho shouted. “Anyway, let’s go now. We can’t keep Wiz waiting for us-- He’s a little impatient.”
As we walked along the base, John curiously looked at the surroundings. He asked, “What is this place? I don’t remember seeing this place in the town.”
“This is the secret base of our tribe-- We Want Diamonds. You might have known what happened last week,” Alvin said.
“A group of people rescuing the griefer-- Chill, and let me guess, you are the one who led them. Even my brothers joined forces with you, but why?”
“Didn’t you know that Rui Fung and the Admins were stealing diamonds for themselves? Our forces aim to expose him, and to stop his threat!”
“Alright. I believe you as some of the Citizens are also part of the act.”
When we reached the laboratory, Wiz opened the door and greeted us. “Haha! You’re finally here! IT’s been a week that the team helped me to build this lab, and it’s finished!”
“Nice. So you’re able to build some new devices now?” I asked.
“I’ve already made one for you-- The X-Ray Goggles. It’s highly configurable, and you’ll be able to see through stone to find ores! Pretty cool, huh?” Wiz said, showing me his creation.
“So, you’re giving it to me?”
“Of course! In the meantime, I’m giving you a task-- To find out if Rui and the Admins have mined all the diamonds or not. This goggles will come in handy.”
“Well, I already have a vision gear, so I would like you to help me program it instead,” I said, passing my vision gear to Wiz.
“No problem!” Wiz said, walking towards his computer. “It will be done soon.”
“Thanks, I hope I won’t be causing much trouble now... To be honest, this place is still messy...”
Town Mine, Island of RFCTKS: 22 September 2011, 9:40a.m.
We went to the town’s mine after I retrieved my upgraded vision gear. The mine was already lit up with torches, probably to prevent monsters from spawning. As we descended, I found out that there were not much ores to mine-- Only one or two coal ores on the walls. John brought me to a room, which looked like a train station.
“Let’s use the minecarts to bring us down deeper,” John said.
We used the minecarts to go deeper into the mine, and I found out that there were not many torches, which made the deeper part of the mine darker. There’s also a sign written ‘ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!’, and I could feel that there are monsters lurking nearby, waiting for us to come closer.
“Careful, the bottom layers are highly dangerous. You can fall into lava if you’re not careful enough,” John said again.
“Alright. Where do we start searching from?” I asked.
“Turn on your X-ray vision?”
“Okay.” I turned on the X-ray vision, and found out that all the natural structures (stone, dirt, gravel and much more) have disappeared, as if I could see through walls and ceilings. Suddenly, I found an iron ores hidden in a stone wall, and I mined it with the help from my vision gear. Later, I scanned the area for diamonds, but there were no sight of them. After for an hour, I decided to give up on searching for the diamond ores.
“Looks like Alvin must be telling the truth. The Admins have mined all the diamonds away. Let’s head back upstairs,” I said.
“Umm... We have a problem here!” John said, pointing to somewhere. I looked to the direction, and saw a few masked people in front of us, holding different weapons. They looked very fierce, and they were pointing their weapons at us.
“Who... Who are you?” I nervously asked.
“We are bandits. Surrender your belongings to us, or we will show no mercy!” One of the men said.
“Bastards. We are the ones who will show no mercy towards all of you!” John said angrily, raising his iron sword.
“Fine. Kill them!” All the bandits charged towards us. We defended ourselves with our weapons, but they were too tough for us. The bandits could anticipate our movements and tactics, thus causing our attacks to miss. We fled the scene, before the spears thrown by them could stab us.
“Damn! I can’t see! What if--“
I let out a scream as I accidentally tripped, and was about to fall into a lava pit. Luckily, John pulled me up before I could turn into a tasty barbecue.
“Turn off your X-ray vision!” John said to me. “We must kill them!” I got back on my feet, and switched back to normal vision. We quickly jumped over the pit, and stood still for a while. I kicked one of the bandits as he jumping over the pit, which caused him to fall into the lava.
“AHHHH!!!” He shouted, while burning in the lava. We made no attempt to look at him, and continued to run.
“I can’t believe that I’ve murdered someone...” I said.
“You’re defending yourself. Let’s kill these bandits before we get murdered instead,” John said, throwing a dagger towards another bandit, which struck him and killed him instantly. “See? Another death caused by us.”
“Death at my hands is an honour,” I quoted, taking out my battleaxe to battle. I furiously slashed two bandits in front of me, and threw it towards a third one behind them. As I sensed another bandit trying to backstab me, I held my spear, and quickturned 180 degrees to stab his head. Blood spilled out from every bandit I killed, as if there was a bloodlust in me...
“Brother, give me a hand here!” John shouted, clashing his sword with three bandits. I jumped forward and sliced their heads with my sword, causing more blood to spill out. One of them was lying down undead, while firing an arrow towards me. I caught the arrow precisely, and dashed forward to stab his head with it.
Seeing tons of dead bodies, the sanguine is coming back for me. The red tattoo on my right arm glowed again...
“Nicholas, what the hell is going on with you?” John asked. “Your right arm is glowing, and it’s starting to spark!”
“It can’t be...” The bandit leader said. “You’re the infamous ProStickman, Vilest of All Sons, and the Immortal Shaman...”
“What the hell are you talking about?” John demanded.
“I have nothing to say. You’re going to hell now!” I shouted, charging towards the bandit leader, and stabbed him in the heart with full power. He gave out a scream, and died not for long...
I tried to pull out my sword, but it’s stuck in his chest. I pulled it out with all my power, and successfully pulled it out with his heart from his body.
“Impossible!” How did you do that?” John asked.
“It’s just nothing,” I said, removing the heart from my sword, then sheathed it. “Come on, let’s go home.”
Chapter 16: The Dangerous Subject I’ve played Portal. It’s my dream to design something to teleport instantly to a point, and I’ve created a monster which blink teleports! Once I kill them, teleportation will make me unstoppable!
(Leader of RFCTKS, Rui Fung, talking to TheMask)
EmozChris’ House, Island of RFCTKS: 22 September 2011, 11:15a.m.
“You’re inhuman,” John said. “I should’ve told Mum that you weren’t normal at all.”
“I told you, the whole family is damned, and no one trusted me at all. They never treated me like a real son, and never bothered to find out I’m happy or not. For the next sixty years, my life is corrupted with this damn tattoo. I don’t know what happened to me in the past,” I said.
“And yet you accused that John is not our real brother. HOW DARE YOU!” Chris yelled at me.
I became angry, and lost control of myself. I got up from my chair, and choked Chris to the wall. Red sparks came out from my right arm while the sanguine came into my mind.
“LOOK INTO MY EYES!!! WHO THE HELL AM I? A BROTHER, OR A MONSTER!?” I furiously demanded. “DON’T THINK THAT I’M A FEEBLE DUDE JUST BECAUSE I’M SHORTER THAN YOU!!!”
“You’re nothing,” Chris spat. You’re just a merciless, ruthless and the vilest among us, you little fu--”
“DAMN IT!!!” I shouted, smashing the wall with my fist. “I HAD ENOUGH OF YOU, CHRISTOPHER. YOU GUYS HAD NEVER LIKED ME AT ALL. FINE, I’M LEAVING YOU GUYS.” I walked to the door, and went out while slamming the door shut.
Who am I now? How did I get this tattoo on my right arm?
Why am I not pure human?
Thinking about the questions, I furiously walked away from Chris’ house as far as possible.
Town Square, Island of RFCTKS: 22 September 2011, 12:15p.m.
When I got to the town square, people turned their heads and looked at me, feeling shocked. I didn’t need to question them at all, not because that my shirt was torn, or myself covered in blood-- These are too mainstream for a hunter to be glanced at.
They are looking at my glowing tattoo now, I thought to myself.
Without hesitation, I continued to head towards the café without caring about the people’s thoughts. Old assassins like Altair and Ezio had to walk through the crowd without giving a damn about how to people thought of their outfits, and all they just needed was to assassinate their targets.
Once I went into the café, I found no customers inside the store. I went to take a seat, and waited for someone to come and serve me. A young lady appeared from the counter and brought me the menu. After I ordered my food, she asked, “You’re... ProStickman?”
“Yeah, you know me?”
“Psst, keep a low profile here. I am one of the spies from Alvin’s tribe, and I gather information in the town, and report everything to Alvin. I have a task for you.”
“What is it?”
“I suspect Rui Fung is conducting lots of experiments and tests to create a new type of monster. He has been capturing humans outside from the town as test subjects, thus manslaughting them. On behalf of Alvin, I want you to go and investigate the RF Tower.”
“I guess so, maybe I can do it. Unfortunately, Rui’s got a bunch of tesla towers defending his house.”
“I don’t need you to bust inside and risk your life. All I need you to do is to find out whether if Rui has released a monster called the Enderman or not. Good luck.”
“Alright then. By the way, your name’s Lisa?” I asked.
“How did you know?” She looked astonished.
“Your name tag.”
“Oh silly me, I’m very forgetful. Luckily I can still remember the task I gave you just now,” Lisa said, walking into the kitchen, while I sat down on my seat to plan my mission, and waited for my food to come.
RF Tower, Island of RFCTKS: 22 September 2011, 8:30p.m.
After my mission briefing at Alvin’s base, Wiz helped me to program my vision gear with a binoculars function, which is useful to help me investigate Rui’s house later. When I returned to the town, it took me some time to find Rui’s house, until I found a tall building at the north side of the town...
The RF Tower. Standing still by itself with no other buildings. There are no Guards there-- Just a few tesla towers guarding the RF Tower itself. I cautiously walked towards the area, while keeping a safe distance between myself and the tesla towers. After I had found a suitable place, I crouched into a pile of grass, and began to spy on Rui.
From one of the windows, I could see blue lights emitting out-- Perhaps Rui was really conducting and experiment, and how am I going to stop him? I tried using the Binos (short for binoculars) vision to see clearly, but what I could see was blue sparks flying out like a firework. I sat down frustrated, and waited for something to happen...
CLANK!
I quickly got up, and found out that the back door has opened. I took a look at the back door, and saw two figures standing there-- One of them looked like a human, and the other one was a tall and skinny creature. The man instructed the creature to do something, and it headed towards the tesla towers, as if it’s going to commit suicide...
ZOOM!
I was amazed to see the creature blink teleport out of the perimeter without getting struck by lightning! Could this be the ‘Enderman’ Lisa was talking about just now? I silently followed it to see what’s it up to. As I followed it, it didn’t listen to my footsteps at all. Seeing that we’re far from the RF Tower, I shouted, “Hey! Get your ass back here!”
It didn’t respond to me, and continued to walk forward instead. I quickly ran and stood in front of it, while looking at its eyes. “I said, get--”
“HISSSSS!!!” The creature shrieked at me before I could finish my sentence, then approached towards me. This is the first time I saw an Enderman provoked, hence I did not hesitate to bring out my Spear Launcher, and fired a spear towards it...
POOF!
“What the!?” I shouted, looking confused. The Enderman just disappeared in front of me! I went forward to pick up the fallen spear, and--
“Ugh!” I yelped as something grabbed me from behind, and I turned my head, and saw the Enderman grabbing me, while hissing at me again. I struggled and tried to break free, but its grip was too strong. I held out my sword and stabbed the Enderman’s chest, thus causing it to let go of me. I spun 180 degrees and tried to stab it again, but it blinked away before I could stab it. I chased the Enderman as it was standing not far from me, but every time I got to the location, it kept on teleporting away.
I was very frustrated and very tired after running for a few rounds. I fired an arrow towards it, and it blinked away again. This time, I heard a shriek behind me, so I turned around and sliced its body, and whacked it with my battleaxe, causing it to crash into a tree. The Enderman got up and hissed at me, then grabbed a wood block from the tree, and rushed towards me. I quickly dodged before it could hit my head with the block, and sliced off its hands. The Enderman could not pick up anything, so it ran away instead.
“Oh no you don’t!” I grunted, raising my flail, and ran towards the Enderman. I swung the flail and bashed it into a pond, but something weird happened-- The Enderman laid down in the water unconscious, while I see its skin burning until it completely disappeared. I went into the pond, and picked up a pearl which was left by the Enderman itself. After that, I left the scene and headed for the StarGate.
Secret Base of We Want Diamonds, Island of RFCTKS: 22 September 2011, 10:00p.m.
As I returned to the base, many people weren’t here at all. Alvin was sitting next to the fireplace, so I walked to him and asked, “Where’s everybody?”
“They’re asleep. What brings you here?” Alvin asked.
“It is confirmed that Rui has created an Enderman. Fortunately, I was able to slay it when the creature was out from his house, but it was very hard to slay it because of its teleporting skills. By the way, I found this from the Enderman,” I said, giving the pearl to Alvin.
“Alright, I will take it to Wiz tomorrow. Perhaps he can find out what it is.”
“By the way, do you have extra rooms? Chris kicked me out from his house...”
“I don’t have any rooms left, unless if you’re willing to sleep on this sofa,” Alvin said, getting up from the sofa.
“I don’t mind at all,” I said.
“Alright then, I’m going to my room now. Goodnight.”
“Goodnight Alvin.”
Chapter 17: Mother Father ENDERMAN! What does an Enderman look like? Is it tall, or short? Fat or skinny? And oh, can it dance? (Head Engineer of We Want Diamonds, Wiz) Secret Base of We Want Diamonds, Island of RFCTKS: 23 September 2011, 8:20a.m. When I woke up, I saw Pancho looking at me. “Stick, why are you sleeping here?” Pancho asked. “Got kicked out by my brother. Luckily, Alvin allowed me to come over and sleep on the sofa. Anyway, is Wiz awake?” I asked. “In the lab, as always.” I quickly went to the laboratory, and saw Wiz examining the pearl. “Eureka!” He shouted. “I’ve discovered a new substance!” “Whoa, what’s up?” I asked. “This is an Ender Pearl. It contains Endermonium, which allows the user to teleport for a certain distance,” Wiz explained. “Cool, but how do you use it?” I asked. “Umm... Let me try,” Wiz said, holding out the Ender Pearl. “I command you to teleport me there!” Nothing happened. “Damn! I’ve failed!” Wiz cursed, passing me the Ender Pearl angrily to me. “Why not you try it!?” I grabbed the pearl, and focused my eyes, concentrated my mind to a certain location, while forcing myself to teleport, but nothing happened. I became frustrated, and threw the pearl angrily to the wall. “Curse you! You son of a--” Before I could finish swearing, my whole body became lighter, and I felt myself vanish into thin air. Suddenly, I reappeared next to the wall which I threw the Ender Pearl to. Wiz was surprised, and quickly came to me to help me up. “I can’t believe it... You’ve did it!” Wiz said. “I... I did?” I said sheepishly, looking at the broken fragments of the Ender Pearl. “Yeah... But my back, it hurts...” “Did you feel anything while you’re teleporting?” Wiz asked. “I felt my bones compressed until I couldn’t feel myself at all. It’s like I was dead for a second before I got resurrected. Maybe using this Ender Pearl constantly isn’t a good thing at all,” I explained. “Any painkillers for my back?” “Nope. Where did you get the pearl from?” Wiz asked again. “From an Enderman, obviously. I have slain it last night.” “I really need to see one of these creatures. Where can I find them?” “It depends. We need to find out whether if Rui has made more Endermen or not. Besides, we also need to find out where are they lurking soon.” Suddenly, Alvin busted into the room to inform me something. “Stick, we got trouble! A bunch of Endermen are attacking the Citizens in the town park now!” You must stop them!” “Rui. He must be doing this. I need a new outfit to disguise.” “Sure thing, let’s get prepared.” Town Park, Island of RFCTKS: 23 September 2011, 9:00a.m. After we reached the park, we saw a bunch of Endermen roaming around the park, while some Citizens quickly ran for their lives to avoid being pursued by them. Wiz and Alvin was about to fire some arrows towards them, but I stopped them before they could, and said, “It’s no use to fire your arrows at them, because they seem to dodge projectiles perfectly.” “No wonder they can teleport. They must have Ender Pearls in their bodies. Come on, let’s stop them!” Wiz said. “I need those pearls!” “Wait, if this was Rui’s plan, that means the Admins will not come to stop the Endermen. I think Rui’s also persuaded the Guards not to help, too. I think it’s not long before Rui finds out about you, Stick, because he’s trying to use this situation to lure you out,” Alvin said. “I suggest you don’t fight this battle with us.” “I must fight them with you because I know how to fight them! Besides, I can pretend that I don’t know anything about the Endermen at all,” I persuaded. “Alright then. Charge!” Alvin shouted. The three of us rushed to the Endermen, and fought them hard with our swords. It was really annoying, though, since the Endermen won’t stop teleporting at all. I swung my flai hard to bash them, but most of them teleported away because my flail could strike them. “Damn! It’s starting to grab stuff to attack us now!” Wiz said, as he pointed at the Endermen, who were grabbing blocks. I tried to dodge the attacks, but there were too many of them. In the end, they beated me up badly (fortunately with the iron armor)... “Guys, I need help here!” I cried. “I have no time to waste!” Alvin shouted, firing a lot of arrows towards the Endermen surrounding me. The arrows forced them to teleport away from me, which set me free. “See? I rather use arrows if I were-- Ugh!” Because he could finish his sentence, he was grabbed by an Enderman behind him. Alvin struggled hard to break free, but a few Endermen quickly surrounded him. As I rushed to aid Alvin, some of them threw their blocks at me, knocking me over like a bowling ball. I quickly rolled away before another block could hit my head, and climbed up a tree. I jumped off the tree, and smashed the ground with my warhammer, sending most of the Endermen surrounding Alvin to fly away. “Thank God, or else I will be covered in this Ender-madness! By the way, where the hell is Wiz?” Alvin asked. BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!! “Explosions. Surely you did not bring Ben or Chill here?” I asked. “No. I think Wiz must be setting off TNTs. Let’s go!” Once we got to Wiz, he said, “Oh God, there’s too many of them, and even TNTs can’t haul them off!” “Damn! There’s more of them heading for us now!” Alvin grunted. “Quick! Onto that tree!” I shouted, throwing an Ender Pearl. Alvin threw his pearl and successfully landed on the tree after me. Wiz threw his pearl towards us, but the shot was a bit low, which caused him to teleport into air. Alvin and I quickly grabbed his hands before he could fall down. “Curses! I still don’t know how to use this!” Wiz said. “You’ll be fine when you know how to aim precisely,” Alvin said. The three of us stood on the branch until more Endermen showed up and surrounded the tree. Their faces were looking at us, jaws open while shrieking at us. Some of them grabbed the tree, and started to shake it. The tree started to become unstable, and the branch we were standing on was starting to break. “What do we do now?” I asked. “Umm... Wiz,” Alvin said, observing the bottom of the tree. “Give me your TNT.” “Are you serious? You’re gonna blow us up!” Wiz said, passing the TNT to him. “On three, everyone get away from the tree!” Alvin said, setting off the TNT and threw it below, and we quickly threw another Ender Pearl to escape. The TNT exploded not for long, which caused the tree to collapse, thus killing many Endermen. “Looks like we have lost them, maybe we--” Before I could finish my sentence, another group of Endermen surrounded us again. They looked angrier than just now, and hissed at us loudly. “Shoot. Looks like this is the end,” I said. “Not yet,” Wiz said, turning to look at the Endermen. “Before you’re going to... eat us, or whatever, will you watch my finale, Mr Enderman?” The Endermen stood still and looked at him. He placed a box with an opening on the top, and inserted a music disc into the hole. “Look carefully here, this is a jukebox. When I start this, you’re going to watch me dance.” “What the F Wiz! There’s no effing time for silly stuff!” Alvin swore loudly. The Endermen continued to look at Wiz while he was dancing. The dance moves were pretty corny though, and the music is just goddamn weird and stupid. After for a while, the Endermen might have gotten bored, so they hissed at us again, and approached towards us. Suddenly... The sky became dark as grey clouds surrounded everywhere. Lightning struck out from nowhere, followed by a thunderstorm. Later, rainwater poured from everywhere onto us, making all of us wet... The Endermen suddenly teleported away and fled for no reason. “Holy mackerel! What have you done?” Alvin asked. “Just dancing. I don’t know why did it become a rain dance instead,” Wiz said. “You must be a goddamned genius.” “Guys? This place is busted up for now... I think no one’s gonna come here to take a stroll at this moment,” I said. “At least the Endermen have done their job-- Destroying the town park to nothing. Rui won’t suspect us for a while, I guess...” Alvin said. “Come on, let’s return before someone finds us.” “Roger that.”
Notice: I must be slacking off nowadays, but I ain't. It's just that I couldn't rush the whole at all. Till today, I've only managed to write until Chapter 17, but there's still tons of in front. I promised some of you that I'll finish this off before Christmas, but it's too late. I've failed everyone.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Chapter 11: Rapture Rupture
It took me three months to build this underwater residence. It's pretty tough, though, and I think one or two Builders drowned while building the Rapture. Serves them right for not wearing their O2 tank properly.
(Leader of RFCTKS,
Rui Fung)
"Stickman. You must be kidding me. Rapture is the hardest contraption I have ever made, and everyone likes it, except you. I've spent plenty of time and even risked my life to build this underwater residence, so give me a reason why you hate the Rapture!" Rui demanded.
"I never said I hated it! I just hate those things, they're swimming in the sea..." I protested, pointing out the glass wall.
"Squids? What the hell dude... There's a famous YouTuber, who is afraid of squids--"
"Isn't that me? I'm also a YouTuber!" I interrupted Rui.
"Wait, I haven't finished my sentence yet. Anyway, this dude claims that gold ingots are actually butter. The worst thing is that he pronounced it as 'budder'. You're already like him because both of you fear squids. Don't tell me you're going to have gold ingots in your sandwich," Rui said.
"Of course not," I replied. We walked forward until we passed by a row of houses, and Rui began to explain the history of Rapture (which is kinda boring, though). There weren't many people living here, probably because of the limited space in Rapture. Once we passed by a large house, Rui suddenly stopped walking.
"I'm not sure if Chris has told you about this or not, but you know TheMask, right? This is his house," Rui said, pointing at the house in front of us.
"Wow, what a nice house he got there. And yes, Chris told me before, he's your bodyguard," I said, observing the house.
"Co-Admin to be exact. He's also known as the Landlord of Rapture. Mask is also very good in machinery stuff, which I know that he helped me to build the tesla towers," Rui said. Suddenly, the front door opened, and someone came out.
"Hey Rui. You brought someone here because he's trying to grief my land?" The man asked. His voice was very deep, and he was wearing a mask. Suits his name, I thought.
"No. This is EmozChris' eldest brother, ProStickman. He's new to here today, and I'm just showing him around here. He just said he didn't like Rapture very much," Rui said.
"Young boy, you have no idea about this. All these months we risked our lives to build this underwater residence. Our glass walls cracked so many times that the seawater could have drowned us those times. Even though there were casualities, we couldn't simply put our lives in danger just to rescue them. Our priority is to finish Rapture as soon as possible, and we accomplished our task in just three month. I rather hope you can appreciate the Rapture, instead of hating it. Anyway, they call me TheMask."
"Mask. I wonder why do you wear a mask? It really fits your name, though," I asked.
"I got my face burned when I was building a tesla tower for the first time. That electricity shock could've killed me if Rui didn't pull me out on time. I wore a mask ever since," Mask said, pointing at his face. "What are you looking at? You wanna sign your signature on my mask?"
"No thanks, besides I don't have a pen at all. Anyway, what I wanted to say is why I don't like this place. There are annoying squids swimming out there, and I hate them! Can't you just build a few more tesla towers to kill them all?" I asked.
"You idiot. Do you want all of us to get electrocuted? I rather suggest we make truce with the squids and--"
BOOM!!!
"Damn! An explosion! I've already warned everyone not to place explosions here!" Mask grunted.
"Look, is that... a creeper?" I asked, pointing somewhere.
"Oh no, don't you ever explode in here!" Mask shouted, rushing towards the creeper.
HISSSSS!!!
"NOOOOO!!!"
BOOM!!!
After the creeper exploded, it sent Mask flying towards us. The explosion also blew up parts of the glass wall, causing seawater to flow inside quickly.
"Damn!" Mask grunted upon landing on the ground. After he got up, he said, "If this place is flooded, everyone inside here will drown! I'm going back to inform everyone to evacuate via the broadcast system!"
"Alright! Inform the Builders to come here immediately! We need them to fix that hole!" Rui said to Mask. Suddenly, an arrow flied out from nowhere, and hit Rui's helmet.
"Damn! Skeletons!" Rui grunted, unsheating his sword-- A blue one to be exact, which is a material I've not seen before. He charged forward and sliced the skeletons in front of him. All the skeletons died under a single blow to each of them. I was amazed by Rui's actions-- That blue sword he was holding, it could kill those skeletons quickly, like a one-hit-kill...
"Wow! Rui! What's the sword you're holding?" I asked eagerly.
"Crafted by pure diamonds. It's harder, better, stronger, faster than your iron sword. Diamonds are extremely rare, and you need a lot of luck to find their ores in caves," Rui answered, raising the diamond sword. I could see the sword shining brightly, even though the sea blocked most of the sunlight from coming in.
"I envy you a lot, but I have better weapons than you," I said, raising my flail, while swinging it. As the skeletons came closer to us, I bashed them until their bones broke. After for a while, I became dizzy and let go of my flail, which sent it flying towards a few more skeletons. The flail managed to smash all their heads, but it continued to fly straight until it smashed the glass wall, and it's stuck there.
"Look at what you've done!" Rui said, pointing at my flail. I went to the wall to pull my flail, but it's dead stuck until I couldn't pull it out at all.
"Don't!" Rui shouted. Before I could listen to him, I somehow managed to pull my flail out, but on second though, I regretted pulling it out. My flail had already made a large hole in the glass wall, and seawater came out like a geyser, causing more seawater to flow inside. That geyser blasted me away back to Rui's feet, I was fine, but my whole body was soaked.
"Damn! Chris is going to kill me because of this outfit!" I swore loudly.
"There's no time to complain! Kill all these skeletons before they could reach us!" Rui said, dashing forward with his diamond sword. I took out my battleaxe, and fought the skeletons with Rui. As we fought those skeletons, the water level was rising, and I could see lots of bones floating on the water.
"There's too many of them! I can't push them back!" Rui said, finishing off the skeletons beside him.
"But I have a plan," I said, raising my Spear Launcher. I lined up the targets, and fired a spear towards the skeletons at maximum power. The spear flew so quickly that it managed to pierce a few skeletons' heads, and killed them instantly.
"I was stunned... The weapon you're holding, it killed so many skeletons with a single shot?" Rui said, "May I know what is this magnificient weapon you're using?" Rui asked.
"It's a Spear Launcher, crafted by an old man. He didn't give me the recipe though. And for the record, 10-KILL-STREAK from that spear just now," I said.
"Stop boasting. Ready to kill the remaining bastards here?"
"Ready when you are."
We charged forward, and managed to kill the remaining skeletons. Unfortunately, the water level is getting higher, until I couldn't stand on my own feet.
"It's going to rise above our heads! Let's leave this place before we drown!" Rui said.
"Wait... I think someone's there!" I said. "He's wearing a scuba outfit, and he's trying to flee!"
"Right!" Rui said to me, and he chased the mysterious figure. "Come back here, and don't try to escape!"
The scuba diver didn't respond to Rui. Instead, he kept on swimming forward. He was too quick for us to catch up in the water.
"He's heading to the StarGate!" Rui shouted.
"He won't escape!" I said, taking out my Spear Launcher again. I adjusted the power, and fired a spear towards the scuba diver. The spear flied in the seawater as if it was a proton beam flying in space. The spear continued to fly forward until it approached him...
STAB!!!
The spear managed to pin his leg onto the ground, and he's stuck. We swimmed towards him, and Rui put his sword at the dude's beck, while waiting for me to pull out the spear from his leg.
"Who do you work for? Answer me!" Rui furiously demanded.
"Mmphh!" The scuba diver groaned. It seemed that he couldn't talk with the diving mask on his mouth.
"No answers, eh? I'm taking you away for the IT."
"IT?" I asked.
"Interrogation and Torture," Rui explained. "I'll be taking him to the prison, which is located in the town square. Meanwhile, the Builders are already here." Rui pointed to the StarGate. There were a group of people coming out from the StarGate, some of them holding toolboxes, some of them holding glass blocks.
"Sir, we're not beginning the repairs. The water level isn't very high as we expected. but we can fix this without our O2 tanks. Any unexpected situations, we'll contact you ASAP," one of the Builders said.
"Good. As for you, Stickman-- You'll go back to your brother's house to get a change of clothes. Later, you are free to explore the town by yourself."
"Alright then... Which StarGate is the closest to his house?"
"TerraNova TreeHouse. Just bear in mind that you should not fall down from there. Last time, some bummer accidentally fell down and--"
"I'll keep that in mind," I interrupted, walking to the StarGate. I inputted the details, and teleported to the TreeHouse.
Chapter 12: Meeting Of The Admins
Once an Admin, always an Admin.
You betray, you die.
(Motto of the Admins,
designed by Rui Fung)
TerraNova TreeHouse, Island of RFCTKS:
14 September 2011, 3:10p.m.
Once I reached the TreeHouse, I found myself stuck in a tree. Rays of sunlight came in from the outside, since the leaves were blocking most of the sunlight from coming in. I followed the main path (since there are two different types of wooden planks), and found a spiral stairs made up of random types of wooden planks. With the help of the illumination of the torches on the walls, I walked all the way to the bottom without falling down.
After I've reached downstairs, I exited the TreeHouse and I can see Chris' house right in front of me. As I walked towards his house, I turned my head to look at the TreeHouse. It was like Mother Nature's most beautiful creation in the world, and I wonder if this tree could provide wisdom or not...
Hopefully, no one will chop down this tree.
EmozChris' House, Island of RFCTKS:
14 September 2011, 3:15p.m.
Once I reached home, Chris opened the door and gave me a dirty look again.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!?" Chris angrily shouted. "I've already told you, that's my EXPENSIVE OUTFIT!!! You soaked the whole in water, and it smells like seawater now!"
"Wait! Let me explain! Just now, Rui brought me to the Rapture, and we were attacked by a creeper and many skeletons. The creeper blew up parts of the glass wall, which caused the Rapture to flood!" I explained quickly.
"No wonder I saw lots of Builders running outside. But I don't think that any monsters could get in the town, and so is the Rapture..." John said.
"That's peculiar. However, Rui and I caught this dude who's trying to escape from the scene. He was wearing a scuba outfit."
"Weird. Did you guys find anything else?" Chris asked.
"Nothing, but Rui said he's taking this dude to the prison for the IT."
"IT. Perhaps if I could get some information... I'll be right back. By the way, your old outfit is already cleaned and you can wear them back now."
"So fast? I left like more than an hour and--"
"Quick-Clean technology. The washing machine here washes it 100 perfect clean, and it dries your clothes instantly, too," John said, passing my clothes to me.
"Thanks." I went back to my room, and changed my clothes. After that, I went to the balcony to view the scenery of this town. As for now, I could enjoy the relaxing moment-- No mining, no hunting, no building, no talking...
No talking.
I felt like something in my life is missing. There weren't much people who I could talk to in this island. Suddenly, I missed the times in my island-- Having meals with Red and the others, mining with Athena, building with Luna, farming with Cupquake, hunting with Jaime, visiting Kain, and talking to my sister, Jane...
I'm homesick. I missed my island so much... Somehow I felt like sobbing, so I took off my vision gear, and rubbed my eyes, but suddenly I realized something... My vision gear's new function.
On the night of my brothers' return, Red actually helped me to modify my vision gear with a frequency based walkie-talkie function. He also gave me his frequency so that I can contact him anywhere, anytime.
I picked up my vision gear, and dialed in Red's frequency. I hit the 'Call' button, and waited for Red to answer the call...
"Red?"
"Stick... Is that you?"
"Here we go. Just helped the Town Owner to capture a griefer. He's trying to bring down an area into flooding chaos."
"Wow. So what happened to him?"
"I don't know, Chris is going to the prison to check out the situation. By the way, how's it going around there?"
"Smooth and steady, no threats detected." There was a pause in his voice. "Your sister wants to talk to you."
"Alright," I said. "Jane?"
"Bro! I missed you so much. How are you doing there?"
"I'm starting to miss home... I promise to come home soon, okay?"
"I hope so... Come back soon! Bye!"
"Goodbye sis!"
"Alright Stick, call us soon if you need anything."
"Okay. Bye Red, take care."
"You too."
As soon Red ended the call, I went back into the room, and lied down on my bed, thinking about what happened earlier in the Rapture. Landlord Mark, horrifying squids, skeletons' invasion, Rui's diamond sword, unknown scuba diver... Suddenly, I felt very tired, and began to doze off again...
EmozChris' House, Island of RFCTKS:
14 September 2011, 7:00p.m.
Damn. First is the alarm clock, now comes the doorknocks? I woke up and quickly headed to the door to open it. I wasn't surprised to see Chris standing in front of the door, becauase I knew he's got something to inform me.
"Looks like they got a meeting-- An Admin Meeting to be exact. Rui decided to kill this dude tomorrow, but I'm not sure if he's gonna chop his head off in front of everyone during general assembly, in the town square because he griefed Rapture. Worst of all, this dude is a traitor-- He was part of the Guards, but he left us without a reason, and migrated out of this town, to a tribe called... 'We Want Diamonds'," Chris said.
"Funny name, though. But where is this tribe located?" I asked.
"Like I said, out of town. Unfortunately, we don't have the exact location now. Looks like Rui's gonna track them down later."
"Well, why not we find them instead? Perhaps we can get some answers..."
"I don't know where to start searching from, but I've got a plan."
"Which is?" I asked again.
"I'm going to eavesdrop on the Admins during their meeting later. The meeting is going to be held in the Auditorium, 8p.m. sharp. You wanna come?" Chris asked.
"Sure... But I don't think it's a good idea..."
Auditorium, Island of RFCTKS:
14 September 2011, 7:50p.m.
"Damn! Luckily there is a StarGate here!" I grunted.
"We could've be late if it's not here... Next time, no meals during crucial situations," Chris said.
"Screw you."
I was about to enter the Auditorium, but Chris pulled me away from the entrance.
"Are you a fool? This is not some common meeting, this is an Admins Meeting! If you go in there, you'll be captured on sight, and be sent to jail! Even the Guards are not allowed inside!" Chris yelled at me.
"Then... How are we gonna spy on them?" I asked.
"Follow me. I know where to hide."
Chris led me to a backdoor, and opened the door which leads to a storeroom. Once we got inside the room, Chris locked the door, and told me to look at the hole in a wall. I peeped through the hole, and saw a few people inside. It was Rui, Mask and a few other Admins I have not seen before, and it seems that the meeting had started not long ago. I tried to put my ear next to the hole, but I heard nothing.
"Chris, I can't hear a thing," I whispered.
"Shh..." Chris instructed me to keep quiet, and handed over an empty tin can to me. I placed the tin can next to the hole, and listened to the conversation...
"You think we want traitors in our town? Of course not!" Someone shouted.
"But he's demanding diamonds for the Guards! Can't you see his tribe's name?" Another Admin said loudly.
"Settle down first, guys," a rough voice came out, and I recognized it as Mask's voice. "As you see, we already made those Guards to swear upon the Oathborn. We have put their lives in danger so many times, and that's why we have rewarded them with iron ingots. However, this case is very odd-- A Guard who could betray us by griefing our town, and giving an excuse that he wanted diamonds?"
"I've told you a thousand times, give them at least a diamond each, and this situation won't even happen!" a voice appeared from a young Admin.
"Shut up, Fruit, you're the youngest among us," someone next to him said. "If we gave them diamonds, do we have any diamonds left?"
And then a chorus of quarreling voices came out. Looks like everyone was trying to disagree each other's opinions.
"SILENCE!!!" A loud voice came out, and everyone else kept quiet. "I am the Head Admin here, and I have all the rights to make my decision! All of you below are supposed to give out ideas to Mask and Adam, so that they can analyse your ideas to help me finalize my decision! If us Admins just continue to argue and to mind your own business, how are we supposed to rule this town? How are we supposed to protect our town from those savages outside?"
And then there was a silence, until an applause came out. I turned my head, and whispered to Chris, "Seriously? No diamonds for you?"
"I'll never seen anyone except the Admins who have diamonds stuffed in their pockets. I'm starting to think why the citizens who work as Miners are unable to find a single diamond at all," Chris said.
"But Rui told me that diamonds are rare..."
"No matter how rare are they, you can still find one or two in a large radius. The problem is, rumor stated that some of the Miners made a huge quarry to mine all the ores, but a single diamond could not be found at all."
"That's strange, or the Miner are very unlucky." I put my ear at the tin can again to see if the meeting was still going on or not. The good news is, the Admins are still talking...
"For now, I have the exact location of the tribe's location." Rui paused for a while, and said, "X-axis is +287, Z-axis is +319."
"Damn these coordinates. Luckily, I know where to go," Chris whispered.
"And what are we going to do tomorrow?" One of the Admins asked.
"Good question, Brain. We'll hunt down the tribe, and kill everyone there, regardless traitor or not," Rui said. "Any more questions to ask?" If no, I assume everyone is ready for tomorrow's plan."
There was another silence.
"Good. The meeting ends now, all of you are now dismissed."
I turned back to Chris again, and asked, "What are you going to do, then?"
"Some of the people there used to be part of my team. Since they have betrayed me, I must be the one to draw first blood on them!" Chris swore. "Let's go home now, we need enough energy for tomorrow!"
We crept out from the storeroom, and silently vanished using the StarGate.
Chapter 13: Loyal Or Betray
I hate to put it this way, but no diamonds but the Guards and all other citizens. You gotta mine them if you need them so much. As for us Admins, we also mined them bu ourselves, so don't expect us to give you all free diamonds.
(Leader of RFCTKS,
Rui Fung)
EmozChris's House, Island of RFCTKS:
15 September 2011, 8:15a.m.
"Goddamnit, we're going to be late!" I swore loudly, packing my equipment.
"If it wasn't for you to get up late... We're supposed to get up by 8.a.m. sharp! If we don't go any faster, the Admins will reach there first!" Chris yelled at me.
"Then let's go!" I said, taking a bread before leaving the house.
South Gate, Island of RFCTKS:
15 September 2011, 8:30a.m.
Chris brought me to a gate which was guarded by a few guards. He said, "This is one of the four gates which controls the movement of our citizens and outsiders. The guards require you to show them your ID card whenever you enter or exit the town."
As we walked towards the gate, the Guards blocked our way. One of them said, "Halt! Please state your identities!"
Both of us passed our ID cards to the Guard.
"EmozChris and ProStickman... You are permitted to leave the town," the Guard said, returning our ID cards to us.
"Luckily you remembered my name, but I don't remember yours. Anyway, have you seen a group of Admins exiting the town?" Chris asked.
"Nope. Why do you want to find out?"
"I was looking for Rui, but when I got to the town hall, the receptionist told me that he and the Admins have exited the town," Chris lied.
"Very well. And what about your brother?"
"I'm going out to mine later," I lied, raising my pickaxe.
"Citizen ProStickman. Perhaps you didn't know you could go to our town's mine to go mining instead. I suggest not to leave plenty of holes outside the town, but if you insist on mining out of town, go ahead then," the Guard said to me.
"Alright, let's go."
Wilderness, Island of RFCTKS:
15 September 2011, 8:40a.m.
We headed south-east in order to reach the tribe's location. Chris mentionedd that the destination was about 400 to 500 blocks from the town, so we had to keep our speed up. As we passed through the wilderness, there were forests, hills, and rivers like the ones on my island. I was starting to wonder if this island was once a part of my island or not... It brings back memories during the early stages on my island.
Suddenly, Chris shouted loud enough to make me jump, and could even cause all the tress to collapse.
"DAMN!!! I got fooled!" Chris swore loudly.
"What do you mean?" I asked. "Don't tell me we came to the wrong place?"
"No. It's the Admins. You know we are actually heading to the south-east direction, right? I think the Admins could be one step ahead us now, because they might've exited the town via the East Gate. No wonder the Guard said that they haven't exited the town, just because he didn't see them at all."
"What if the Guard said everything that's true? What if they haven't exited the town when we're at the South Gate? We can still reach there first! Let's go now!" I encouraged Chris.
"Alright! Let's do this!" Chris shoouted. We continued to head forward until we encountered a group of spiders next to a forest. I was about to raise my battleaxe to chop off their heads, but Chris stopped me.
"If you attack them, we're going to be in big trouble!" Chris said.
"Why? I thought spiders are hostile mobs?" I asked.
"Not exactly. A spider under daylight will remain neutral unless provoked. If you lure it into darkness, it becomes hostile and attacks you even if you bring it back to daylight."
"Wow... So we better be careful here..."
We carefully walked past those spiders without making a noise. After that, we encountered a horde of zombies hiding in the woods, but they were no match for our fighting skills.
“I got seven. What about you?” Chris asked.
“Seven zombies, too,” I said.
“Whoa, looks like we’re in equilibrium.”
“Yeah, right.” I looked to the front, and saw a small house not far from us. “Chris, is that the tribe’s house?” I asked, pointing at the house.
“You may be right. Let’s go before it’s too late!”
We Want Diamonds Tribehouse, Island of RFCTKS:
15 September 2011, 10:05a.m.
We carefully sneaked closed to the house to see if anyone was at home or not. And to be sure enough, we heard laughing voices from the inside. I eavesdropped on the people inside, and it looked like they were joking and talking about nonsense.
“What do we do now?” I asked Chris.
“You go check if there’s any backdoor or not. If there is, ambush them from the behind. I’ll attack them from the front,” Chris said.
I ran to the backyard, and found a door to the house. I tried to open it, but it’s locked, so I grabbed my battleaxe, and chopped the door with it.
“What the—What’s going on?” A voice came from inside. Once I have successfully broken down the door, I rushed inside and saw lots of people inside, looking nervous and anxious. One of them stood up, and pointed his sword at me, and said, “It’s just one weak dude! Let’s show him the power of us! Charge!”
All of them stood up, and grabbed their weapons, “Prepare to die now, weakling!” He shouted. Seeing tons of people with weapons, I couldn’t rush forward and attack them, but to defend instead. I tried to parry all of their attacks, but my iron swords were no good-- They broke after parrying those attacks…
“Stop!” A voice came from the front door. It was Chris, holding something I’ve never seen before. “Release him, or I’ll set off this TNT!”
“We didn’t capture him!” The man said. “He just broke into our house!”
Chris walked forward to the man, and pinned him to the wall. “Look at me! Do you still remember me?” Chris demanded.
“You’re… EmozChris? But why?”
“I can’t believe you’ve betrayed me. Yesterday, your tribe sent someone to grief the town. Is it true?”
“Rui Fung and the others left me no choice. All these years I’ve slain the most wanted criminals in the town, and defended the town from those hordes of monsters in those endless nights, what I had from him was only iron ingots. I wanted those diamonds so much that I took leaves so often because I tried to mine them myself. No matter how hard I’ve tried, I couldn’t find a single diamond at all! Now I’m not going to talk about my story, but the Miners-- Not a single of them could even mine a single diamond at all!”
“And give me a goddamn reason why I shouldn’t kill you. Make it quick!”
“It’s time for revenge! We need this payback to show them what the aftereffects of greed are! Nobody knows why only the Admins have diamonds, but we know! We know!”
“Fine. Explain to me and I may spare you, regarding if your facts make sense or not,” Chris said, releasing the man from his grip.
“I believe that the Admins are trying to hoard all the diamonds to keep them for themselves. They’re hiding the diamonds in the town hall, probably the storage room, and I ain’t talking lies here. Last time, I was on duty of guarding the town hall’s front entrance, and a young Admins was pushing a cart towards the door. I couldn’t see the contents inside the cart, but the cart was bulky and overfilled since there was a cloth tied to it, while covering the contents too. Suddenly, something dropped out from the cart-- It’s a diamond.”
“Go on.”
“The Admin panicked at that moment, and he quickly picked up the diamond, and hid it in his pocket. He turned his face to look at me, and then quickly pushed the cart away. From what I’ve seen, his facial expression was extremely nervous, and I suspected that he must be transporting diamonds to the Admins. As I’ve said, the Admins were planning to use the diamonds to construct something… I don’t think they’ll use them for diamond armor and swords only, but something indestructible instead…”
“Alvin, are you sure that you’ve heard one of the Admins say that? Something INDESTRUCTIBLE that can resist explosions from a thousand TNTs?” Chris asked. This was the first time I heard the man’s name.
“My information is considered precious. If you don’t believe, there are actually a few spies in the town. Some of them were also trying to assassinate Rui Fung and the Admins--“
“GOD DAMNIT ALVIN!!! HAVE YOU GUYS LOST YOUR MINDS!?” Chris furiously shouted at everyone.
“Look, I know this is crazy, but if we don’t expose Rui’s plans, he may become a dictator. Soon, he’ll bring damnation upon us by abusing the power of diamonds. As everyone knows, diamond is considered the strongest material, for now. If we don’t stop him now, he may use diamonds to craft an overpowered weapon, not a diamond sword,” Alvin explained calmly. “We tried using peace-- To ask for diamonds, so all Citizens can have diamonds, but it didn’t work. Today, we will use brute force against him, and we will not stop until the day we die.”
“And what about the Oathborn?” Chris demanded.
“That STONE sword, is just a mere fake. He tried using it to force us to swear upon it. The Guards believe that any actions that they’ve committed can be seen by his eye, so no one dared to betray him. However, I was the first to prove this theory wrong. Rui never knew my schemes to betray him, he is just a fool.” Alvin paused for a while, then said, “Chris, to be loyal to him, or to betray him, it’s your choice.”
“Fine. I’ll trust you this time.”
“Enemies spotted ahead! They’re coming for us!” One of the tribe members shouted.
“It’s the Admins!” Chris said. “Last night they planned about killing all of you, and-- Never mind, I will help you to escape, but I can’t go out like this, my cover will be blown…”
“We have masks,” Alvin said, tossing them to Chris and me. “Ben, release the creepers now! Let’s use them as a diversion so that we will have extra time to escape!”
“Roger that, sir!” The member shouted, then ran into a room.
“Creepers?” I asked. “But I thought they are hostile?”
“Benladin is a master in taming mobs. Don’t worry, the creepers will listen to his commands, and blow up those Admins soon,” Alvin explained. “Pancho, is the escape tunnel ready?”
“All ready, sir. Prepare for evacuation,” he said.
“Men! Into the tunnel now!”
Everyone started running into the escape tunnel, while carrying the tribe’s resources out from the tribehouse. Chris helped to set up the TNTs with Alvin so that they can blow up the house later.
“You must be Chris’ brother,” Alvin said to me. “Very good, are you willing to join forces with us?”
“Yes. By the way, the name’s ProStickman, leader of Strike Force PS,” I said.
“Good. Now, your task is to escort all my members to somewhere else safe and undetectable. If we fail, we all die. Do you understand?”
“Yes. But how are you going to find us later?” I asked.
“Take this. I can track your location later,” Alvin said, passing me a device. “Now go!”
I pushed myself through the crowd of people, and stopped the members’ movement. I said, “Your leader assigned me to escort all of you to a new place. However, I am very unfamiliar with this island. Any suggestions?”
“Just bring us somewhere else far away from this place!”
“Alright then…” I led everyone out from the tunnel, and brought them away from the danger zone.
Unknown cave, Island of RFCTKS:
15 September 2011, 2:00p.m.
God. I’m very tired after running this far. Fortunately, the members were able to catch up. Pancho came towards me, and said, “The name’s PanchoCooper. I’m the Defense Captain of this tribe. Anyway, thanks for bringing us to a cave like this. We’ll clear out the monster inside and set up our new base here. Your cooperation is much appreciated.”
“But what about your leader? Is he going to be alright?” I asked.
“He’s very successful in everything-- Look, the man is here,” Pancho said, pointing to a figure heading towards us. It was Alvin, with Chris and Ben following him. “We did it!” Alvin shouted to us.
“You mean… The Admins were killed?” Pancho asked.
“Of course not! They retreated after they saw the whole house explode! They might’ve thought that we’re dead!”
“Well, I think you guys will be safe for a while. But I think Rui will go mad later, and kill that griefer--“
“What!?” Alvin shouted, which interrupted me. “That dude is our Master Of Sabotage, a.k.a. ArcaniteChill! We cannot lose him!”
“I’m sorry. I got him captured by Rui because of me… If only I had found out the truth earlier…” I confessed.
“It’s okay, since you didn’t even know us yet on that day. But for now, we are going to save him!” Alvin said loudly.
“Alvin, do you remember what time does Rui kills those griefers after the IT?” Chris asked.
“Mostly during the evenings. Rui’s going to have his head off in front of the public-- The General Assembly.”
“So we’re going to rescue him in the public…” Pancho said.
“Yes. Pancho, you stay here and build the secret base. Inform Wiz to set up a new StarGate so we can teleport later,” Alvin commanded.
“Yes sir!” Pancho ran into the cave with a few members.
“StarGate? But--“
“StarGates can be created and destroyed anytime, anywhere. Besides, we know the databases to create one, so we can create one, and shut it down as soon our men have finished the mission,” someone interrupted me. “By the way, the name’s Wiz, Head Engineer of the tribe.”
“Nice to meet you,” I said.
“Well, I heard Rui mentioning me to build the new StarGate. I better be off now.” Wiz also ran into the cave to join the team.
“Chris and Stick. You must stay at home until we have rescued Chill, then you are free to do anything you like in the town. Do not let the Admins find out that the both of you are working as spies,” Alvin said.
“But I’m on duty during General Assemblies. I can’t stay at home,” Chris said.
“Oh yeah, I’ve almost forgotten. Well then, you’ll need to fake a chase. Don’t just stand there while we escape, or else the Admins will suspect you.”
“Understood.”
“As for you, Stick, contact me if things go wrong. Do you have anything to use to contact me?”
“My vision gear. It comes with a frequency-based walkie-talkie function.”
“Good. The frequency for me is 172.89. Do not contact me unless you are at somewhere private. For now, the both of you, return to the town now.”
“Roger that.”
Chapter 14: The Escape Plan
Team Alpha, we’re going to rescue Chill soon. Make every second count and do not lose him. Do not engage the Admins to battle unless you’re forced to, then return to the base via the StarGate in the town square. Good luck.
(Leader of We Want Diamonds,
Former Guard of RFCTKS,
Alvin, talking to Team Alpha)
EmozChris’ House, Island of RFCTKS:
15 September 2011, 4:30p.m.
“I’m going out now, It is confirmed that the General Assembly is going to start at 5p.m. sharp. You better stay at home,” Chris said to me.
“No. I must go too! I need to report to Alvin if things go wrong!” I protested.
“Are you sure you want to do this, Nicholas? You’re going to put all of us in danger if you do so!”
“I’m not an ordinary person. I’ve got this on my head,” I said, pointing to my vision gear. “If you think that you can detect enemies without this, go ahead and try it.”
“Very well. That beats me, but you must not fail us! Understood?”
“Yes. Let’s do this.”
Town Square, Island of RFCTKS:
15 September 2011, 4:50p.m.
Chris and I rushed to the town square as fast as we could, and as we had expected-- There were many people gathering at the town square. Rui and a few other Admins were standing in front of everyone else, facing towards them. Some guards stood behind the Admins, as if they’re on duty to protect the Admins.
“I have to get into my position. You have to blend into the crowd, or find somewhere else to contact Alvin. Do not blow our cover, or we will perish into dust,” Chris warned me.
“Alright,” I said, looking frightened when I saw a head-chopping machine next to the Admins. Maybe it’s meant for those people who were sentenced to death, but I imagined what if Rui found out that I was working as a spy, and then he will execute me…
“Citizens of RFCTKS, welcome again to the General Assembly!” A sharp and loud voice came out from the speakers. “Today, we are here to witness an unfaithful event… Guards! Bring out the traitor!”
A group of people gasped. Nobody knew why, or what happened, until the Guards brought somebody out to the stage. His face was concealed as there was a sack covering his head.
“This guy led an army of monsters to attack us! They griefed Rapture yesterday, and nearly flooded the whole thing! What’s worse is that, he was one of us! Ladies and gentlemen, do you think that he is evil?”
“Yes!” The crowd shouted.
“Should we kill him?”
“Yes! Kill him now! Show no mercy!”
“Very well! Guards, reveal his identity!” Rui shouted. The Guards pulled out the sack from his head. This is the first time I’ve seen Chill’s face, which is full of scars. I silently left the crowd, and crept into the alley to contact Alvin.
“Alvin! Come in!”
“What’s the situation?”
“Rui is going to have his head off anytime! You must get ready to extract him now!”
“Roger that. ETA 30 seconds.”
I went back into the crowd to check out the situation.
“Any last words, punk?” Rui asked Chill.
“You have no idea what are you doing now! You’re just a tyrant who keeps the diamonds for yourself. Soon, the Admins will turn into a bunch of corrupted bastards, and let darkness fall upon all of us! Then, RFCTKS will become into ‘Rui Fung Choose to Torture, Kill and Slay’! Killing me will not end this, you know, because killing me represents a new era, a new war, a new battle, and a new crisis!” Chill shouted.
“Booooo! Your words make no sense!” The crowd shouted.
“We don’t trust you! You’re a griefer, and a traitor to this town! Rest in hell!”
“Why not you suck on this, *******?” Someone shouted, throwing his shoe, which hit Chill’s face.
“Enough!” Rui shouted. “Let’s not wait anymore! Let’s kill him now!”
“YEAHHHHH!!!” The crowd cheered. The Guard urged Chill to the head-chopping machine. As Chill laid his head down, he closed his eyes, and waited for the moment that he gets executed. Suddenly...
“Hold it right there!” A familiar voice appeared from nowhere. “Name your price, and we’ll rebuild the Rapture for you, with the condition of releasing our man!” It was Alvin, who suddenly came out from nowhere.
“You want deals, eh? Fine, the price is that I’ll have his head off, and you’ll get your boy back and rebuild Rapture for me,” Rui said.
“You cunning scumbag,” Alvin spat out the words, while taking out his bow. “Men! Time to sabotage!” Alvin fired an arrow towards Rui, but Rui dodged it easily. “Guards! Seize this idiot!” Rui shouted. Suddenly...
“Ahh!!!”
A guard was stabbed in the back before everyone could realize what was going on. A few members from Alvin’s team showed up and seize Chill away. “Come and get us! You will not take our man away!” One of them shouted.
“Enough! KILL THEM ALL!!!” Ruin furiously shouted, taking out his diamond sword. All the Guards quickly rushed to the men to attack them, while Alvin ran away from the Admins who were pursuing him. He quickly climbed up a building, and ran on the rooftops.
“Alvin! Get down here and surrender! Soon, you and your men will die together!” Rui shouted from below.
“It’s a pity that you didn’t want to learn walljumping from me. Adios,” Alvin said, firing an arrow below him, and fled.
“God damn him!” Rui cursed. “Luckily that arrow didn’t hit me, or I’ll--”
BOOM!!!
There was an explosion on the building! The explosion caused lots of blocks to scatter apart, while flying towards the Admins as if it was a meteor shower. The Admins panicked and scrambled themselves backwards before the debris could land on their heads. Rui became mad again, and shouted, “YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!!!”
I quickly ran away from the scene and ducked into an alley to contact Alvin again.
“Is everything okay?”
“Negative. There are a few Guards chasing my team. I’m afraid that they will be outnumbered soon.”
“Wait. Do you see Chris following the Guards to chase your team?”
“He is. Soon, he will disappear from his group, and sabotage them instead.”
“Alright. The StarGate is close to your location, but I’ll have to get closer.”
I turned on my minimap, and followed the group of blue and red icons running away. Suddenly, I saw a blue icon separating from the group of red icons. That must be Chris, I thought to myself, then chased after Chris.
“Chris! What the hell are you doing?” I asked.
“Shh... I’m going to set up some TNTs to distract the Guards. Take this, it’s a smoke bomb,” Chris said, passing the bomb to me.
“What do you want me to do?”
“I expect that they’ll be running along that street later. Once you see them coming, throw that smoke bomb to distract the Guards, while letting the gang to come in this alley. In the meantime, I’ll activate the TNTs to scare those bastards away.
“I hear footsteps. Looks like they’re coming now.”
I peeped outside to see if Alvin’s team were coming or not, and to be sure enough, a bunch of Guards were chasing their tails. I threw the smoke bomb as soon they got closer, and directed the team to escape through the alley. Chris quickly went out and placed a few TNTs in the smokescreen, and quickly returned to us before the smoke faed. After that, he ignited one of the TNTs, and told us to flee from the alley.
“God! That smokescreen!” Now where the hell are all of them?” A Guard asked.
“Are you so dumb? They must be behind this smoke! But, why do I hear something” Another Guard asked.
The smokescreen faded, revealing the bunch of TNTs hidden inside.
“RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!”
BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!!
I contacted Alvin again while escaping with the team
“Alvin, your team is with me now. Is the StarGate clear?”
“It’s safe for now, but I can see the Admins patrolling on the other side! You have to hurry up now!”
“Roger that!”
We quickly ran towards the StarGate to rendezvous with Alvin. As soon we got there, Alvin was already inputting the details into the StarGate.
“What about us?” I asked, “We need to return home before Rui gets us!”
“There they are! Stop them!” A voice appeared from afar.
“Into the StarGate now! The both of you cannot blow your cover, or all of us will die!”
We entered the StarGate to escape the pursuit, and left the town again.
Chapter 15: Missing Diamonds
If the Admins have an X-ray goggles to find some diamonds, why can’t we build one too? Exact sample from the StarGates.
(Head Engineer of We Want Diamonds,
Wiz, talking to ProStickman)
Secret Base of We Want Diamonds, Island of RFCTKS:
15 September 2011, 5:30p.m.
After passing through the StarGate with the team, I found myself in a secret base. Looks like the team must’ve put some effort to build the new base, and the home for themselves.
“Wiz! Close the StarGate now!” Alvin said.
“Yes sir,” Wiz said, shutting down the StarGate to prevent the Admins from accessing.
“So, you guys have decided to camp here?” I asked.
“Yes. The Admins won’t find us easily for now, unless if they want to mine the whole base out. We will now wait for the time to launch an attack on the town again.”
“Well, hopefully I could develop some new weapons, too,” Wiz said.
“YOU!!! YOU THERE!!!” Someone shouted loudly.
I turned my head to see what’s going on. Someone came towards me, looking very angry, and said, “You little *******. It was you who helped that idiot to capture me, and I nearly got my head chopped off! You and your damned spear!”
“Calm down, Chill. He hasn’t found out the truth before he met us. Besides, he also helped you to escape death. You should’ve thanked him instead,” Alvin said to him.
“Sorry, and thanks. By the way, I’m ArcaniteChill, Master of Sabotage. Rui’s buildings are so ugly and stupid, so I will not hesitate to blow them up with TNTs!”
“Then... Why the Rapture?” I asked.
“His proudest creation shall fall first!”
“Stick, I need you and your brother to go back and investigate what’s Rui up to now. Chill needs to cool down for a while-- Maybe they had tortured him, and he might’ve lost his mind now,” Alvin said to me.
“Alright,” I said. “Come on, Chris. Let’s go.”
Town Square, Island of RFCTKS:
15 September 2011, 5:40p.m.
Chris and I went back to the town square, and we heard Rui ranting on the stage. He seemed very mad, probably because of the failure to capture Alvin’s team.
“WHAT THE FRICKING HELL WAS THAT?! YOU SONS OF A !!! HOW CAN YOU LET THEM ESCAPE THAT BLOODY EASY, FOOLS?”
“Sir, they set up a TNT trap to stop us! If we had rushed just now, all of us would have been blown up to bits!” A Guard protested.
“BLOODY HELL!!!” Rui cursed, pounding the Guard’s head. “WHERE THE HELL IS EMOZCHRIS?”
“I’m here,” Chris said, running to Rui’s side. “I wanted to contact the Tech Team, so that they’ll shut down all the StarGates before the griefers could use them to escape. Unfortunately, they said they’ll do it under an Admin’s order only.”
“DAMNIT!!! CHRIS, YOU’ll BE OFF DUTY FOR A MONTH!!! REPORT TO ME AFTER A MONTH FOR RECOMISSION!!!” Rui ordered furiously.
“I,,, Alright, Guard EmozChris off duty now.”
EmozChris’ House, Island of RFCTKS:
22 September 2011, 9:00a.m.
A week later...
“It’s not really good to be decommissioned like this... Without the Guard’s privileges, I’ll be suspected easily,” Chris said.
“I was starting to wonder if Alvin’s words were true or not, but I hope that he’s not lying to us,” I said.
“The good news is, some of the Citizens are questioning about the diamonds in the Admins’ hands. Some said that Chill’s words are true, and some of them even put up posters to protest the missing diamonds,” John said.
“You got to be kidding me!” I laughed. “Missing Item, Name: Diamond, Age: A long long time ago, Reward: Tons of diamonds. Contact if found at blah blah blah...”
“Nonsense. Stop talking crap,” Chris said.
“How about we go to the town’s mine to find the diamonds instead? Perhaps we can find some proof,” John said, walking to the chest.
“Good idea. Chris, you coming with us or not?” I asked.
“You idiot. If I’m going too, who’s going to take care of our little brother?” Chris asked.
“Never mind.”
As I went to gather my equipment, I got an incoming call.
“Stick! It’s Wiz here, Alvin gave me your frequency earlier. I need you to come to the base immediately, since I have developed a new device which might help you a lot.”
“Cool! But which StarGate should I use to get to you?”
“TerraNova TreeHouse. Our men has already waited for you to come.”
“Roger that.” I ended the call, and said to John, “Come on, I’m going to show you something before we go to the mine.”
Secret Base of We Want Diamonds, Island of RFCTKS:
22 September 2011, 9:15a.m.
After we teleported to the base, John was amazed.
“What is this place? I’ve never seen it before...” John said.
“Stick! You’re finally here! Wiz wanted to show you something-- And who’s this next to you?” Pancho asked.
“This is Jonathan, a.k.a flamy295, the Second Brother. For your information, I’m the first one, and Chris is the third,” I explained.
“Wow. So there are three of you?”
“Four. Our little brother is too young to perform operations for now.”
“THE FOUR HORSEMEN!!!” Pancho shouted. “Anyway, let’s go now. We can’t keep Wiz waiting for us-- He’s a little impatient.”
As we walked along the base, John curiously looked at the surroundings. He asked, “What is this place? I don’t remember seeing this place in the town.”
“This is the secret base of our tribe-- We Want Diamonds. You might have known what happened last week,” Alvin said.
“A group of people rescuing the griefer-- Chill, and let me guess, you are the one who led them. Even my brothers joined forces with you, but why?”
“Didn’t you know that Rui Fung and the Admins were stealing diamonds for themselves? Our forces aim to expose him, and to stop his threat!”
“Alright. I believe you as some of the Citizens are also part of the act.”
When we reached the laboratory, Wiz opened the door and greeted us. “Haha! You’re finally here! IT’s been a week that the team helped me to build this lab, and it’s finished!”
“Nice. So you’re able to build some new devices now?” I asked.
“I’ve already made one for you-- The X-Ray Goggles. It’s highly configurable, and you’ll be able to see through stone to find ores! Pretty cool, huh?” Wiz said, showing me his creation.
“So, you’re giving it to me?”
“Of course! In the meantime, I’m giving you a task-- To find out if Rui and the Admins have mined all the diamonds or not. This goggles will come in handy.”
“Well, I already have a vision gear, so I would like you to help me program it instead,” I said, passing my vision gear to Wiz.
“No problem!” Wiz said, walking towards his computer. “It will be done soon.”
“Thanks, I hope I won’t be causing much trouble now... To be honest, this place is still messy...”
Town Mine, Island of RFCTKS:
22 September 2011, 9:40a.m.
We went to the town’s mine after I retrieved my upgraded vision gear. The mine was already lit up with torches, probably to prevent monsters from spawning. As we descended, I found out that there were not much ores to mine-- Only one or two coal ores on the walls. John brought me to a room, which looked like a train station.
“Let’s use the minecarts to bring us down deeper,” John said.
We used the minecarts to go deeper into the mine, and I found out that there were not many torches, which made the deeper part of the mine darker. There’s also a sign written ‘ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!’, and I could feel that there are monsters lurking nearby, waiting for us to come closer.
“Careful, the bottom layers are highly dangerous. You can fall into lava if you’re not careful enough,” John said again.
“Alright. Where do we start searching from?” I asked.
“Turn on your X-ray vision?”
“Okay.” I turned on the X-ray vision, and found out that all the natural structures (stone, dirt, gravel and much more) have disappeared, as if I could see through walls and ceilings. Suddenly, I found an iron ores hidden in a stone wall, and I mined it with the help from my vision gear. Later, I scanned the area for diamonds, but there were no sight of them. After for an hour, I decided to give up on searching for the diamond ores.
“Looks like Alvin must be telling the truth. The Admins have mined all the diamonds away. Let’s head back upstairs,” I said.
“Umm... We have a problem here!” John said, pointing to somewhere. I looked to the direction, and saw a few masked people in front of us, holding different weapons. They looked very fierce, and they were pointing their weapons at us.
“Who... Who are you?” I nervously asked.
“We are bandits. Surrender your belongings to us, or we will show no mercy!” One of the men said.
“Bastards. We are the ones who will show no mercy towards all of you!” John said angrily, raising his iron sword.
“Fine. Kill them!” All the bandits charged towards us. We defended ourselves with our weapons, but they were too tough for us. The bandits could anticipate our movements and tactics, thus causing our attacks to miss. We fled the scene, before the spears thrown by them could stab us.
“Damn! I can’t see! What if--“
I let out a scream as I accidentally tripped, and was about to fall into a lava pit. Luckily, John pulled me up before I could turn into a tasty barbecue.
“Turn off your X-ray vision!” John said to me. “We must kill them!” I got back on my feet, and switched back to normal vision. We quickly jumped over the pit, and stood still for a while. I kicked one of the bandits as he jumping over the pit, which caused him to fall into the lava.
“AHHHH!!!” He shouted, while burning in the lava. We made no attempt to look at him, and continued to run.
“I can’t believe that I’ve murdered someone...” I said.
“You’re defending yourself. Let’s kill these bandits before we get murdered instead,” John said, throwing a dagger towards another bandit, which struck him and killed him instantly. “See? Another death caused by us.”
“Death at my hands is an honour,” I quoted, taking out my battleaxe to battle. I furiously slashed two bandits in front of me, and threw it towards a third one behind them. As I sensed another bandit trying to backstab me, I held my spear, and quickturned 180 degrees to stab his head. Blood spilled out from every bandit I killed, as if there was a bloodlust in me...
“Brother, give me a hand here!” John shouted, clashing his sword with three bandits. I jumped forward and sliced their heads with my sword, causing more blood to spill out. One of them was lying down undead, while firing an arrow towards me. I caught the arrow precisely, and dashed forward to stab his head with it.
Seeing tons of dead bodies, the sanguine is coming back for me. The red tattoo on my right arm glowed again...
“Nicholas, what the hell is going on with you?” John asked. “Your right arm is glowing, and it’s starting to spark!”
“It can’t be...” The bandit leader said. “You’re the infamous ProStickman, Vilest of All Sons, and the Immortal Shaman...”
“What the hell are you talking about?” John demanded.
“I have nothing to say. You’re going to hell now!” I shouted, charging towards the bandit leader, and stabbed him in the heart with full power. He gave out a scream, and died not for long...
I tried to pull out my sword, but it’s stuck in his chest. I pulled it out with all my power, and successfully pulled it out with his heart from his body.
“Impossible!” How did you do that?” John asked.
“It’s just nothing,” I said, removing the heart from my sword, then sheathed it. “Come on, let’s go home.”
Chapter 16: The Dangerous Subject
I’ve played Portal. It’s my dream to design something to teleport instantly to a point, and I’ve created a monster which blink teleports! Once I kill them, teleportation will make me unstoppable!
(Leader of RFCTKS,
Rui Fung, talking to TheMask)
EmozChris’ House, Island of RFCTKS:

“You’re inhuman,” John said. “I should’ve told Mum that you weren’t normal at all.”
“I told you, the whole family is damned, and no one trusted me at all. They never treated me like a real son, and never bothered to find out I’m happy or not. For the next sixty years, my life is corrupted with this damn tattoo. I don’t know what happened to me in the past,” I said.
“And yet you accused that John is not our real brother. HOW DARE YOU!” Chris yelled at me.
I became angry, and lost control of myself. I got up from my chair, and choked Chris to the wall. Red sparks came out from my right arm while the sanguine came into my mind.
“LOOK INTO MY EYES!!! WHO THE HELL AM I? A BROTHER, OR A MONSTER!?” I furiously demanded. “DON’T THINK THAT I’M A FEEBLE DUDE JUST BECAUSE I’M SHORTER THAN YOU!!!”
“You’re nothing,” Chris spat. You’re just a merciless, ruthless and the vilest among us, you little fu--”
“DAMN IT!!!” I shouted, smashing the wall with my fist. “I HAD ENOUGH OF YOU, CHRISTOPHER. YOU GUYS HAD NEVER LIKED ME AT ALL. FINE, I’M LEAVING YOU GUYS.” I walked to the door, and went out while slamming the door shut.
Who am I now? How did I get this tattoo on my right arm?
Why am I not pure human?
Thinking about the questions, I furiously walked away from Chris’ house as far as possible.
Town Square, Island of RFCTKS:
22 September 2011, 12:15p.m.
When I got to the town square, people turned their heads and looked at me, feeling shocked. I didn’t need to question them at all, not because that my shirt was torn, or myself covered in blood-- These are too mainstream for a hunter to be glanced at.
They are looking at my glowing tattoo now, I thought to myself.
Without hesitation, I continued to head towards the café without caring about the people’s thoughts. Old assassins like Altair and Ezio had to walk through the crowd without giving a damn about how to people thought of their outfits, and all they just needed was to assassinate their targets.
Once I went into the café, I found no customers inside the store. I went to take a seat, and waited for someone to come and serve me. A young lady appeared from the counter and brought me the menu. After I ordered my food, she asked, “You’re... ProStickman?”
“Yeah, you know me?”
“Psst, keep a low profile here. I am one of the spies from Alvin’s tribe, and I gather information in the town, and report everything to Alvin. I have a task for you.”
“What is it?”
“I suspect Rui Fung is conducting lots of experiments and tests to create a new type of monster. He has been capturing humans outside from the town as test subjects, thus manslaughting them. On behalf of Alvin, I want you to go and investigate the RF Tower.”
“I guess so, maybe I can do it. Unfortunately, Rui’s got a bunch of tesla towers defending his house.”
“I don’t need you to bust inside and risk your life. All I need you to do is to find out whether if Rui has released a monster called the Enderman or not. Good luck.”
“Alright then. By the way, your name’s Lisa?” I asked.
“How did you know?” She looked astonished.
“Your name tag.”
“Oh silly me, I’m very forgetful. Luckily I can still remember the task I gave you just now,” Lisa said, walking into the kitchen, while I sat down on my seat to plan my mission, and waited for my food to come.
RF Tower, Island of RFCTKS:
22 September 2011, 8:30p.m.
After my mission briefing at Alvin’s base, Wiz helped me to program my vision gear with a binoculars function, which is useful to help me investigate Rui’s house later. When I returned to the town, it took me some time to find Rui’s house, until I found a tall building at the north side of the town...
The RF Tower. Standing still by itself with no other buildings. There are no Guards there-- Just a few tesla towers guarding the RF Tower itself. I cautiously walked towards the area, while keeping a safe distance between myself and the tesla towers. After I had found a suitable place, I crouched into a pile of grass, and began to spy on Rui.
From one of the windows, I could see blue lights emitting out-- Perhaps Rui was really conducting and experiment, and how am I going to stop him? I tried using the Binos (short for binoculars) vision to see clearly, but what I could see was blue sparks flying out like a firework. I sat down frustrated, and waited for something to happen...
CLANK!
I quickly got up, and found out that the back door has opened. I took a look at the back door, and saw two figures standing there-- One of them looked like a human, and the other one was a tall and skinny creature. The man instructed the creature to do something, and it headed towards the tesla towers, as if it’s going to commit suicide...
ZOOM!
I was amazed to see the creature blink teleport out of the perimeter without getting struck by lightning! Could this be the ‘Enderman’ Lisa was talking about just now? I silently followed it to see what’s it up to. As I followed it, it didn’t listen to my footsteps at all. Seeing that we’re far from the RF Tower, I shouted, “Hey! Get your ass back here!”
It didn’t respond to me, and continued to walk forward instead. I quickly ran and stood in front of it, while looking at its eyes. “I said, get--”
“HISSSSS!!!” The creature shrieked at me before I could finish my sentence, then approached towards me. This is the first time I saw an Enderman provoked, hence I did not hesitate to bring out my Spear Launcher, and fired a spear towards it...
POOF!
“What the!?” I shouted, looking confused. The Enderman just disappeared in front of me! I went forward to pick up the fallen spear, and--
“Ugh!” I yelped as something grabbed me from behind, and I turned my head, and saw the Enderman grabbing me, while hissing at me again. I struggled and tried to break free, but its grip was too strong. I held out my sword and stabbed the Enderman’s chest, thus causing it to let go of me. I spun 180 degrees and tried to stab it again, but it blinked away before I could stab it. I chased the Enderman as it was standing not far from me, but every time I got to the location, it kept on teleporting away.
I was very frustrated and very tired after running for a few rounds. I fired an arrow towards it, and it blinked away again. This time, I heard a shriek behind me, so I turned around and sliced its body, and whacked it with my battleaxe, causing it to crash into a tree. The Enderman got up and hissed at me, then grabbed a wood block from the tree, and rushed towards me. I quickly dodged before it could hit my head with the block, and sliced off its hands. The Enderman could not pick up anything, so it ran away instead.
“Oh no you don’t!” I grunted, raising my flail, and ran towards the Enderman. I swung the flail and bashed it into a pond, but something weird happened-- The Enderman laid down in the water unconscious, while I see its skin burning until it completely disappeared. I went into the pond, and picked up a pearl which was left by the Enderman itself. After that, I left the scene and headed for the StarGate.
Secret Base of We Want Diamonds, Island of RFCTKS:
22 September 2011, 10:00p.m.
As I returned to the base, many people weren’t here at all. Alvin was sitting next to the fireplace, so I walked to him and asked, “Where’s everybody?”
“They’re asleep. What brings you here?” Alvin asked.
“It is confirmed that Rui has created an Enderman. Fortunately, I was able to slay it when the creature was out from his house, but it was very hard to slay it because of its teleporting skills. By the way, I found this from the Enderman,” I said, giving the pearl to Alvin.
“Alright, I will take it to Wiz tomorrow. Perhaps he can find out what it is.”
“By the way, do you have extra rooms? Chris kicked me out from his house...”
“I don’t have any rooms left, unless if you’re willing to sleep on this sofa,” Alvin said, getting up from the sofa.
“I don’t mind at all,” I said.
“Alright then, I’m going to my room now. Goodnight.”
“Goodnight Alvin.”
Chapter 17: Mother Father ENDERMAN!
What does an Enderman look like? Is it tall, or short? Fat or skinny? And oh, can it dance?
(Head Engineer of We Want Diamonds,
Wiz)
Secret Base of We Want Diamonds, Island of RFCTKS:
23 September 2011, 8:20a.m.
When I woke up, I saw Pancho looking at me.
“Stick, why are you sleeping here?” Pancho asked.
“Got kicked out by my brother. Luckily, Alvin allowed me to come over and sleep on the sofa. Anyway, is Wiz awake?” I asked.
“In the lab, as always.”
I quickly went to the laboratory, and saw Wiz examining the pearl. “Eureka!” He shouted. “I’ve discovered a new substance!”
“Whoa, what’s up?” I asked.
“This is an Ender Pearl. It contains Endermonium, which allows the user to teleport for a certain distance,” Wiz explained.
“Cool, but how do you use it?” I asked.
“Umm... Let me try,” Wiz said, holding out the Ender Pearl. “I command you to teleport me there!”
Nothing happened.
“Damn! I’ve failed!” Wiz cursed, passing me the Ender Pearl angrily to me. “Why not you try it!?” I grabbed the pearl, and focused my eyes, concentrated my mind to a certain location, while forcing myself to teleport, but nothing happened. I became frustrated, and threw the pearl angrily to the wall.
“Curse you! You son of a--”
Before I could finish swearing, my whole body became lighter, and I felt myself vanish into thin air. Suddenly, I reappeared next to the wall which I threw the Ender Pearl to. Wiz was surprised, and quickly came to me to help me up.
“I can’t believe it... You’ve did it!” Wiz said.
“I... I did?” I said sheepishly, looking at the broken fragments of the Ender Pearl. “Yeah... But my back, it hurts...”
“Did you feel anything while you’re teleporting?” Wiz asked.
“I felt my bones compressed until I couldn’t feel myself at all. It’s like I was dead for a second before I got resurrected. Maybe using this Ender Pearl constantly isn’t a good thing at all,” I explained. “Any painkillers for my back?”
“Nope. Where did you get the pearl from?” Wiz asked again.
“From an Enderman, obviously. I have slain it last night.”
“I really need to see one of these creatures. Where can I find them?”
“It depends. We need to find out whether if Rui has made more Endermen or not. Besides, we also need to find out where are they lurking soon.”
Suddenly, Alvin busted into the room to inform me something. “Stick, we got trouble! A bunch of Endermen are attacking the Citizens in the town park now!” You must stop them!”
“Rui. He must be doing this. I need a new outfit to disguise.”
“Sure thing, let’s get prepared.”
Town Park, Island of RFCTKS:
23 September 2011, 9:00a.m.
After we reached the park, we saw a bunch of Endermen roaming around the park, while some Citizens quickly ran for their lives to avoid being pursued by them. Wiz and Alvin was about to fire some arrows towards them, but I stopped them before they could, and said, “It’s no use to fire your arrows at them, because they seem to dodge projectiles perfectly.”
“No wonder they can teleport. They must have Ender Pearls in their bodies. Come on, let’s stop them!” Wiz said. “I need those pearls!”
“Wait, if this was Rui’s plan, that means the Admins will not come to stop the Endermen. I think Rui’s also persuaded the Guards not to help, too. I think it’s not long before Rui finds out about you, Stick, because he’s trying to use this situation to lure you out,” Alvin said. “I suggest you don’t fight this battle with us.”
“I must fight them with you because I know how to fight them! Besides, I can pretend that I don’t know anything about the Endermen at all,” I persuaded.
“Alright then. Charge!” Alvin shouted. The three of us rushed to the Endermen, and fought them hard with our swords. It was really annoying, though, since the Endermen won’t stop teleporting at all. I swung my flai hard to bash them, but most of them teleported away because my flail could strike them.
“Damn! It’s starting to grab stuff to attack us now!” Wiz said, as he pointed at the Endermen, who were grabbing blocks. I tried to dodge the attacks, but there were too many of them. In the end, they beated me up badly (fortunately with the iron armor)...
“Guys, I need help here!” I cried.
“I have no time to waste!” Alvin shouted, firing a lot of arrows towards the Endermen surrounding me. The arrows forced them to teleport away from me, which set me free. “See? I rather use arrows if I were-- Ugh!”
Because he could finish his sentence, he was grabbed by an Enderman behind him. Alvin struggled hard to break free, but a few Endermen quickly surrounded him. As I rushed to aid Alvin, some of them threw their blocks at me, knocking me over like a bowling ball. I quickly rolled away before another block could hit my head, and climbed up a tree. I jumped off the tree, and smashed the ground with my warhammer, sending most of the Endermen surrounding Alvin to fly away.
“Thank God, or else I will be covered in this Ender-madness! By the way, where the hell is Wiz?” Alvin asked.
BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!!
“Explosions. Surely you did not bring Ben or Chill here?” I asked.
“No. I think Wiz must be setting off TNTs. Let’s go!”
Once we got to Wiz, he said, “Oh God, there’s too many of them, and even TNTs can’t haul them off!”
“Damn! There’s more of them heading for us now!” Alvin grunted.
“Quick! Onto that tree!” I shouted, throwing an Ender Pearl. Alvin threw his pearl and successfully landed on the tree after me. Wiz threw his pearl towards us, but the shot was a bit low, which caused him to teleport into air. Alvin and I quickly grabbed his hands before he could fall down.
“Curses! I still don’t know how to use this!” Wiz said.
“You’ll be fine when you know how to aim precisely,” Alvin said.
The three of us stood on the branch until more Endermen showed up and surrounded the tree. Their faces were looking at us, jaws open while shrieking at us. Some of them grabbed the tree, and started to shake it. The tree started to become unstable, and the branch we were standing on was starting to break.
“What do we do now?” I asked.
“Umm... Wiz,” Alvin said, observing the bottom of the tree. “Give me your TNT.”
“Are you serious? You’re gonna blow us up!” Wiz said, passing the TNT to him.
“On three, everyone get away from the tree!” Alvin said, setting off the TNT and threw it below, and we quickly threw another Ender Pearl to escape. The TNT exploded not for long, which caused the tree to collapse, thus killing many Endermen.
“Looks like we have lost them, maybe we--”
Before I could finish my sentence, another group of Endermen surrounded us again. They looked angrier than just now, and hissed at us loudly.
“Shoot. Looks like this is the end,” I said.
“Not yet,” Wiz said, turning to look at the Endermen. “Before you’re going to... eat us, or whatever, will you watch my finale, Mr Enderman?”
The Endermen stood still and looked at him. He placed a box with an opening on the top, and inserted a music disc into the hole. “Look carefully here, this is a jukebox. When I start this, you’re going to watch me dance.”
“What the F Wiz! There’s no effing time for silly stuff!” Alvin swore loudly.
The Endermen continued to look at Wiz while he was dancing. The dance moves were pretty corny though, and the music is just goddamn weird and stupid. After for a while, the Endermen might have gotten bored, so they hissed at us again, and approached towards us. Suddenly...
The sky became dark as grey clouds surrounded everywhere. Lightning struck out from nowhere, followed by a thunderstorm. Later, rainwater poured from everywhere onto us, making all of us wet...
The Endermen suddenly teleported away and fled for no reason.
“Holy mackerel! What have you done?” Alvin asked.
“Just dancing. I don’t know why did it become a rain dance instead,” Wiz said.
“You must be a goddamned genius.”
“Guys? This place is busted up for now... I think no one’s gonna come here to take a stroll at this moment,” I said.
“At least the Endermen have done their job-- Destroying the town park to nothing. Rui won’t suspect us for a while, I guess...” Alvin said. “Come on, let’s return before someone finds us.”
“Roger that.”

I must be slacking off nowadays, but I ain't. It's just that I couldn't rush the whole at all. Till today, I've only managed to write until Chapter 17, but there's still tons of in front. I promised some of you that I'll finish this off before Christmas, but it's too late. I've failed everyone.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
