Deadly Marshmallows

"I've been here five minutes, and I already hate the Nether," Steve said doubling over breathing heavily.

"I ignored him and turned to Mason, "Where's the Wither located?"

He pulled out a map and studied it closely for a couple minutes. "We need to get on top of this fortress and run straight across the roof until we get to the field in front of the location guarded by ghasts," he said looking up at the ceiling.

"Easy enough," Josh said grinning.

His grin soon faded as we saw what waited in front of us. A long straight narrow bridge spanning across a floor of lava about 100 meters in the air. The path was blocked by wither skeletons and blazes.

I turned to Josh and grinned, "Easy enough."

"What's the plan?" Mason asked hesitantly.

"Charge forward," I said bursting forward leaving a blast of wind behind me. I ran to the first wither skeleton and slid under it, slicing his leg with my sword and knocking him off balance. Then Josh was there shield bashing it, knocking it off the bridge into the lava. I was already onto the next mob in line. I jumped up onto a blaze, stabbing it in the head, killing it instantly. When it started to fall I pushed off of it and flipped over to another blaze floating a couple feet off the edge of the bridge. I came down with both swords going through its head. When it started to fall I jumped off and landed on the bridge again. I rolled, blocked an attack from another wither skeleton, and using my momentum to shoulder charge it off the edge.

I watched a couple arrows sail towards the end of the bridge, taking out the remaining enemies in our way. "Ok. What's next?" I asked as Josh blocked a fireball aimed at me. "Never mind," I said jumping over Josh's shield.

"NO! NOT THE GIANT FLYING MARSHMALLOWS OF DEATH!" Steve yelled as around ten to fifteen ghasts appeared in the air around us.

"There's the passageway to get to the Wither!" Mason yelled pointing to a cave across the field, guarded by ghasts.

"Really? Across the minefield full of marshmallows?" Steve asked hiding behind Josh's shield.

"Andr can you start teleporting people to the cave individually?" I asked her.

"Yes. I will try," she said as she started with her task.

"Alright, everyone move forward!" I said launching forward. Josh stayed in a position to protect everyone in the group. Steve started picking off any ghasts that he could. He even shot some of the fireballs in the air. I rushed ahead of the group, drawing the ghasts fire towards me as Andr got another person over to safety. I dove to the ground and rolled to dodge an incoming fireball and to throw an ender pearl up towards the ceiling. As soon as I hit my feet on the ground, I flipped up and over a couple more fireballs. In mid-flip, I was teleported to the ceiling of the Nether. Timing my flip so that I would hit with my feet touching the ceiling I aimed at a target and launched myself down towards the ghast I singled out.

Coming down like a rocket, I flipped right before hitting the ghast, adding momentum to my two swords stabbing into its head. I rode on its head as it crashed towards the ground. It crash landed and slid towards the group before dying. I jumped off of its head and rolled. I went with my momentum and slammed my swords into a wither skeleton about to attack Josh from behind. At this point Andr teleported with Josh to the safe zone. As soon as she dropped him off I could tell something was wrong when she only teleported halfway to me. I watched as she started to fall to her knees.

I felt the familiar feeling in my body that I felt when I needed to save her quickly. I burst forward at a dizzying speed reaching her before she could hit the ground. Transferring her into my arms, I kept the speed up till I reached the cave in a couple of seconds. I barely managed to stop myself by skidding my feet across the ground while spinning to a stop.

"Mike I swear if you don't stop not telling us stuff, I'm going to kill you," Josh said wide eyed.

"Let's rest for a minute to catch our breath," I said ignoring him.
