“Let the creepers in!” I said.
Cat spun away, fighting another monster, and Shaw turned back to me. He frowned. “I think you’ve bumped your head too hard,” he said and then pirouetted back, spinning Cat back towards me.
“We need to destroy the portal, and who is the best at destroying things? Creepers!” I said. “We just need to get one in the temple and let it do its magic!”
Cat thought about it. “That...actually isn’t a terrible idea,” she nodded. “I like your kind of crazy, girl!” she grinned.
And that was the plan. The same way the creepers had destroyed my house, I was now going to get them to destroy the temple. Everyone was called to the back of the camp and began to move behind the temple, away from the monsters coming in that direction.
Cat and I were the last ones left. She said, “OK, Alex, you go too, I can handle it from here.”
“Nope,” I said with a smile. “It’s my turn to be the hero for a change. I’ve caused enough trouble for you.”
Cat frowned at me, and then smiled, putting a hand on my shoulder. “Have fun then,” she said. “I’ll see you on the other side.”
Then she ran off around the back of the temple, and I looked at a thousand monsters coming towards me.
I know, it was crazy. But hey, I’m really good at getting creepers to blow things up. So that’s what I did.
I ran into the temple. Somehow it didn’t seem so bad this time, the quiet was less eerie and more peaceful. I looked back at the door and saw the first monsters coming in. A creeper and a zombie. I backed up the stairs. “Come on,” I said. “Nice monsters, yeah you like it in here, don’t you?” More creepers and zombies and skeletons and spiders crawled in. I swallowed. I could do this. Everything was fine. I was backing up the stairs when I heard it.
“Oh, no,” I whispered. Slowly I turned. It was right behind me. I could smell its rancid breath on my face as it looked down at me and, ever so slowly, opened its mouth, larger and larger, until it looked like it could swallow me whole. I was trapped between a horde of monsters and an angry Enderman, and all I could think of saying was: “Nice Enderman?” Worst. Final words. Ever.
Luckily, they weren’t my final words. The Enderman suddenly toppled forward, falling down the stairs into the approaching horde! I stared, wide-eyed, and then noticed the arrow in its back!
“You’re all clear, kid!” shouted Cat’s voice from outside the temple. “Now let’s blow this thing and go home!”
The creepers began.
I didn’t need to think twice. I ran up the stairs and jumped out of the nearest window of the temple.
Apparently, it was a really impressive explosion. I don’t remember much because I was being launched halfway across the jungle in fiery awesomeness. What can I say? Go big or go home, right?
I woke up, apparently much later, on the Happy-Go-Lucky, Sally’s face peering over me. “Oh goody!” he squeaked. “She’s awake, Cap’n!”
I blinked and sat up. I was in the brig again. Cat leaned against the open door to the cell. “Sorry,” she grinned. “Only place we had available. Ship’s a bit full, as you’ve probably guessed.”
I looked outside the cell. The crew of the Angry Mermaid was moving around, doing odd jobs here and there, fixing up the ship.
“What...” I began.
Cat shook her head. “Don’t worry, everyone is safe.”
“Except Scotty,” came a booming voice nearby. Abraham stepped out of the darkness of the cell and looked at me. “It seems you and I still have a quest to complete.”
I flopped back down on the bed. “Scotty,” I groaned. “Why do you always make my life difficult?”
“There are other Nether Portals, opening all over the world,” Abraham said. “We must find them, close them, and, maybe, if we are lucky, we will find Scotty in the process.”
“What is the Nether?” I asked. “Why are they opening everywhere?”
Cat shook her head. “Those are questions for another day. You just focus on getting better. We’ll let you rest.”
And with that, they left me alone on the bed. Sally made a cake to cheer me up, but I can’t help but feel that this is far from over. I’m going to find Scotty. Even if it’s the last thing I do.
But, hey, this cake isn’t going to eat itself so...I guess, goodbye. For now.
