The Failed Experiments

Chapter 17- Trust

~Ty's PoV~

"I'm surprised they're no mobs here, I'd expect this place to be infested with them." Jerome thought aloud.

"Maybe even they fear Herobrine." Mitch responded.

I stopped and though about Seto who must've been literally going through hell. 'Seto, stay strong.'

I stood up and gave my wings a small flap before glancing back at the others. "What are we waiting for then?"

Slowly but steadily we made our way down to the front of the castle. The huge netherrack decorated walls towered over everyone as a sense of great power and gave off a creepy feel. Though the pathway to the entrance was broken into pieces from the mainland as if it was a parkour build. With the two giant doors that stood before them locked shut, it ruled out getting in through those.

Mitch placed his hand on his chin and gazed at the walls, even though Wither skeletons still guarded the walls and occasionally ran into other skeletons. "We can avoid those guys and try to sneak past them if we can boost each other up this wall by-"

"Or go in through the door." Bobette suggested as she slightly opened one of the doors.

He dropped his hand and sighed. "That works too.."

"There's three ways to go, I'll go North, Mitch and Jerome go West and Jason you can go East with Dr-"

"See ya suckers!" Dr. Pepper yelled as he ran back out of the castle.

"Jason go East by yourself then." I added.

"But shouldn't we get-"

"She'll be fine, Jason." Mitch said.

We agreed and went our separate ways. The walls were neatly decorated with glowstone and redstone lambs, laced with blocks of Quartz, almost made you feel like you were in a mansion rather than a castle in the Nether. The hall I went down differed from the others halls, besides the decor it had doors everywhere. Some were labeled as 'Potions room' or 'Library'.

"Gah why did I choose the one with a million doors again!" I yelled out loud to myself.

"Because you're stupid, of course." A voice responded.

I spun around and flashed my purple eyes. "Who said that?" I asked.

"Just keep on going forward and you'll find that it leads to an arena...he's there."

I scanned the area again before turning my back to the voice and running forward, the voice was most likely lying but I had no other choice. This was the only clue he had that lead to Seto. The hall went on for what seemed like miles before I finally reached two more giant, official-looking, doors. Without hesitation I pushed them open and walked into the room.

"S-seto?" I stuttered out.

He laid on the ground on his side and appeared as if he was asleep, though I knew better than that. I slowly made my way towards him, noticing his breathing was sharp, almost like he was hyperventilating. Is he having a nightmare or something? Ty thought.

"Seto, we need to go." Ty said, he moved Seto's hair out of the way and gasped when he snapped open his eyes. "Are you oka-"

He released a force of energy so powerful it knocked me across the arena, causing me to hit the wall, hard. I regained my balance and rolled out of the way as another blast was shot towards me. My head felt dizzy and I could barely see Seto as he walked in my direction.

"You stupid boy, do you really think you can defeat a sorcerer on your own?" My Ender side asked with a laugh.

"No...but I can distract him until the others get here, they'll hear the blocks breaking sooner or later." I responded.

"You barley have enough strength to fly, what makes you think you can stay conscious long enough until help arrives?"

I flapped my wings and launched myself off the ground towards Seto. Holding out my hand as I flew, I managed to knock Seto to his feet and make it safely to the other side of the arena.

"What do you want?" I asked my Ender side.

"I can do a ten times better job at distracting than you, I have more energy and will stand longer than you."

"Thanks but no thanks, not what happened after last time."

"Okay that was different, I was created to kill Herobrine, Sky had the powers of him so that's why I went berserk. Am I suppose to say sorry? But since he's under his control I think I have a better chance of staying conscious and keeping him busy."

"How do I know I can trust you?"

"Because, if you die...I die."

I sighed, he was right so he wouldn't do anything stupid. "Let's hope I don't regret this.."

~Mitch's PoV~

We decided to spilt up to find Seto quicker, but so far there was no sign leading up to his whereabouts.

"Hey Mitch, do you think Seto's okay?" Jerome asked.

I stopped walking to think about it. "Let's just hope so, I can't say for certain if is or not."

Suddenly the entire hallway shook and made us unbalanced for a second. The chandeliers waved back and forth as it stopped and shook violently again as another blast hit the castle.

"What was that?" I asked aloud.

"Mitch!" Jerome shouted, pointing at a shadow that stood at the end of the hall. "Is that Sk-"

Before he could finish, Sky sprinted up to us, met nose to nose with Jerome with a grin and made him fly all the way back to the beginning of the hall. He turned to me.

"Sky this isn't yo-"

I was cut off by Sky when he knocked me off my feet. I got back on my feet, lit my fists on fire and tried to hit him. He simply dodged and teased me each time I missed.

"Oh come on, Hunger Games champ can't lay a single punch? Pfft."

He tripped me again and laughed.

I spun around and ran. There was no way in hell I was going to fight Sky alone, especially in his current state. He chased me and fortunately passed the unconscious Jerome on the hallway floor.

With no way to go, I made a sharp turn and sprinted down the hall that Ty went.

Hopefully his situation was better than mine.

Authors Note
Wow that took longer than expected, sorry for that I was caught up in school but now all I have to worry about is semester tests :P Also I read my own story and saw some parts were a bit weird, so if you have any questions feel free to ask!
