Scraps (Dream SMP Fanfic)

Death [Prt 2]

Dream had come through the portal not long after. His green hoodie was slightly torn at the sleeve, and revealed his light skin, but no scratch embedded was shown. Y/N asked if he was alright and Dream brushed it off, saying he was fine.

Exploring the Nether a bit farther the group had found a Crimson Forest, and it isn't called a Crimson Forest for show.

The Netherrack ground was now covered with a layer of blood red grass. You'd think it would somehow be hot, but it was quite a relief, the slightly cool touch of the red grass was heaven compared to the demonic ablaze state of the rest of the environment. The trees drastically varied in heights. Some would reach the ceiling of the Nether, and some would be as tall as four feet. The trees had leaves of blood red, though the leaves weren't actually leaves..... they had a sticky red substance on them that made them stick to other leaves. You could say it condensed and formed a block, Y/N doesn't know if this "substance" is blood, but neither does she want to find out.

The logs of the trees were called Crimson Logs.

Crimson Logs: were purplish in base color, but had electrifying red veins like streaks running through the wood. The veins would pulse and move with color, as if you are looking at a pure circulatory system.

The Crimson trees were hollow inside, and inside was a soft, mushroom like block.

Shroomite: A block with a mushroom like appearance. It gives off a yellow glow, similar to Glowstone except it has more of an orange hue to it. The light emits a certain heat, it will not burn you if you were to touch it.

The Crimson Forest is different from many, and not only because of it's outstanding red display, but because of the creatures that inhabit it.

The Piglin: A pig like being that walks on two legs. Piglins can use various weapons, including crossbows, golden sword, enchanted as well, or hold nothing and attack with their fists and mouth. Piglins have two sharp tusks at the edge of their mouth and they use those as weapons, sometimes waiting and charging behind their prey to impale them at a fatal spot. Piglins wear a tattered brown cloak with a gold buckle. There is no way to identify male from female. Piglins eyes are a blazing white, they have no pupils, but an eye lid and shape. Piglins have a severe obsession with gold. If you hold out anything gold, they will indefinitely snatch it from you and be mesmerized by it. If you give them a gold ingot they will give you something back in return, as a thanks. Once the Piglin has given you something back in return it expects more gold, and if you do not give it the Piglin gets angered and attacks. The Piglin attacks a mob called Hoglins nonetheless.

Another type of Piglin is called a Piglin Brute.

Piglin Brute: A type of Piglin that wears a black and brown tattered dress with golden cuffs on it's right arm and a big golden buckle as a belt. The Piglin Brute carries a golden ax as a weapon, and has a much deeper voice than it's relative. The horns of the Piglin Brute are much sharper, and usually every Piglin Brute has a scar on it's face, most of the time it runs through one of their white eyes. The Piglin Brute is extremely dangerous. It can run up to 25 mph; out running it will be near to impossible unless you have a few tricks up your sleeve. The Piglin Brute is not attracted to gold and will attack any mob or living being it sees. Being extremely advanced at PvP Piglin Brutes know all the tricks and all the fatal spots to hit. A fight with one alone and your most likely dead. You might be able to kill and maneuver through it's sly tricks but by then the relative, Piglins, would have already surrounded you and take you down.

The Hoglin is third relative of the Piglin.

The Hoglin: Is a more muscular and big than the average Piglin. A Hoglin goes on all fours and has extremely long tusks. These reach up to four feet in length on average if they are stretched out in a straight line. These tusks are very sharp and a very lethal weapon since Hoglins, like Piglin Brutes, can move at abnormal speed. These mobs have black hair on their backs that stick up to resemble a mow hack of some sort. They have big white eyes at the sides of their heads, these eyes are non existent when a Hoglin is born, but when it grows into an adult they become the size of a golf ball on average.

All of these mobs can be found in the Crimson Forest. Piglins can be found throughout the Nether, and Hoglins exclusively inhabit the Crimson Forest. Piglin Brutes are usually found in Baastians, a black stone structure that is a sanctuary for Piglins, but can be found in a Crimson Forest, though it is rare. It is almost near to impossible to locate a Piglin Brute anywhere else in the Nether.

Wilbur was about to enter the forest, Dream quickly grabbed his arm and stopped him.

"We need to get gold first. We can't take any chances." Dream said, is tone neutral and analytical.

Wilbur met his gaze with Dream's white polyester mask. He nodded in response, slightly glancing at Y/N to what she would say. Y/N opened her mouth to speak, but was stopped by George.

"Guys its a Fortress!!" He exclaimed, hastily pointing beyond the Netherrack cliff. Behind a distant waterfall of lava was a corner of Nether Brick. Moving to the left to get a better view Y/N's eyes widened when she saw a familiar waded out Nether Brick wall.

'How in the world did he spot that?!' Y/N thought in alarm, but also excitement. "Change of plans then." Y/N said, smiling as she formulated a quick plan in her head. Everyone gave her their undivided attention.

"We'll split into..." Y/N quickly did a headcount of everybody, dis-including Eli since he was going to come with her no matter what.

"..Four groups and collect gold, then meet up here and trade with the Piglins for materials. Then we head to the Nether Fortress, and get some materials and Blaze Powder."

"What do we need from there? Surely we're not trying to beat the Ender Dragon right?" Tubbo asked, doubt lacing his tone at his last sentence.

"Oh don't worry we won't do that. But what we are going to do will give us a boost against the robots.....especially that monster one." Y/N said. Dream raised his eyebrows at the statement.

"We're making some potions."
