As the enemy attackers approached the well armed defenders, Bonez and Emerlia had been told to hold them off, while the rest wound down a broud staircase until they reached the weapons room.
They put on armour and gathered swords and bows rather swiftly, and ran up to the main deck in which Bonez was firing of. Emerlia was manning a fireball cannon as she shot at the attackers.

"Ok Steve, be sneaky and and discreat, leap from tree to tree and try to engage them from behind." Bert said as his automatic arrow machine shot fearsomely. Bert was a very technical guy. "Take care..." his voice trailed off as he focused on a dangerous guy try to shoot Bonez.
Without hesitation, Steve ran across the rooftop and lept to a nearby tree. He looked around... Nobody noticed him leaping in the air and diving for another branch.
He eventually arrived on a big tree. With a pond at the base of the trunk.
Grunt was nowhere to be seen. Steve scanned the ground for a opponent, just as Bert had run out if arrows and sprinting for another cannon.
Steve looked down again and gulped.

"Its all, or nothing." and dropped.

Landing with a splash, Steve immediantly got up and running.
His legs pumping, despite the heaviness of his iron armour, Steve headed for a nearby person desperately trying to shoot at the defenders.
Swinging his iron sword high above his head, he brought it down on the mans left shoulder, and slicing down his chest. The man gasped in pain and collapsed. Steve realised what had happened, and his eyes went wide with shock.

"I-I-I killed someone."

Steve fell, fire was everywhere. Steve was so mad, he actually killed someone! He just wanted to protect his friends, and he killed someone. In the haze, Steve saw a zombie, Grunt, come nearer and Steve looked up.

"Steve, what happened?" Grunt said.

Steve looked up sadly, his eyes started to water.
Grunt silently knew what Steve was trying to say.
As this was happening, on the roof, Bert shouted above the roar
of the battle.

"We have to leave! Set off the "Death Button!" Get everything you can, food, supplies, beds, valuables and weapons! I'll hold them off!"
Grunt and Emerlia did as he asked.
As Grunt was trying to make Steve move, Midday who had been enjoying her stay, and been rudely disrupted from her peaceful slumber and kicked down the stables gates, running out on to the raging battle.
The attackers ended up setting fire to the treehouse.
Bert jumped from the building down cutting anybody down as Bonez and Emerlia ran out of the house.
Bert saw Midday panicking and he rushed over to her calming her down.
He quickly hopped on Midday and went to his friends.

"We have to leave... Now!" He said. "Or we will die!"

They all sat on as bert held Midday and was readying for teleportation.
Steve lazily opened his eyes and saw the house ablaze, collapsed.

"Rest in peace." he murmed. "You will be remembered."

As they were blasted into purple flakes.
