Minecraft Adventure

Wither

After a few minutes of resting, we moved forward to the Wither's lair. "How fast can it fire off its attack that you told us about?" Josh asked looking at the two adventurers with us.

"Last time we saw it fire a shot every two to three seconds," Ruby answered back, talking for the first time in a while.

"Steve I need you to continuously pepper it with arrows to keep it confused. Josh I want you blocking shots. Try to stay in front of Steve and the others for the most part. If you see a chance take it," I said as we entered into the lair.

The Wither was completely different than anything I had previously thought. "Well crap," I said tightening my grip on my swords. Before we could make a move, it noticed us and began advancing. It hovered a couple feet off the ground. "No escape now! Let's do this!" I yelled charging forward. Its first shot caught me off guard. I had totally forgot to account for its range and the speed of its attack. Right before I caught a face full of an exploding Wither attack, a gray blob rammed into my side, pushing me away and across the floor. Hitting the ground the first time, I managed to flip over to my back from the bounce of hitting off the ground. I realized it was Willford who saved my butt and I flipped him into my arms right before the next hit to the ground. I slid across the floor for a couple more meters before coming to a stop. Then Josh was there, blocking the next attack.

"You good?" He asked me as Steve took its attention with his arrows.

"Who's a good dog?" I said ignoring him and petting Willford. "Ok boy. Go to Andr," I said pointing in her direction. I got to my feet, "Yeah, I'm good. Thanks bud."

He turned to me, "Don't worry about it." We fist bumped as I shot out from behind his shield, taking the attention away from Steve.

Running around it, I waited for it to shoot off an attack before charging in towards it. I slid under its next attack and itself. Coming to an abrupt stop right behind it just long enough to get it to turn this direction, I then back flipped over it coming down to its now turned back. The millisecond my feet touched the ground, I shot up towards its left head. I brought my swords down in a double slash from right to left severing its head. I flipped my body over the Wither after finishing my slash and rolled to a stop after hitting the ground. *Poof* Josh teleported behind me blocking its enraged attack. Steve instantly tried to take its attention away from us on the ground with his bow.

"You're hurt!" I heard Andr say as she turned me around to face her. She started looking me over worriedly.

I placed my hand on her head to stop her. "Don't worry I'm fine. Thank you for that," I said easing her worried expression.

"That was some pretty quick thinking," I heard Josh complement from in front of us. Steve now had its full attention and was taking heavy fire in his direction.

"Steve needs help. I'm good here," I said to them. They nodded and teleported away.

The Wither was nearing the wall, trying to get to Steve. I ran up the wall in front of it and jumped off. I spun, slashing down the Withers right side, taking off its head and a good portion of its body with my swords. Well that made everything worse. It fricken enraged and started rapid-firing its attacks at me.

"I don't think it likes you very much Mike!" I heard Steve yell at me from his place near the wall.

"Yeah well, I don't think I would like me either if I had two out of three of my heads cut off!" I yelled back, frantically dodging its attacks. I watched Josh set up behind the Wither, angling his shield upwards. I liked what he was thinking. I angled myself to run straight at the Wither. I slid under it and jumped up onto his shield. We both simultaneously pushed upwards, well he did, and I jumped upwards. I sailed up above the Wither; 3I kicked off of the ceiling, flashing back down, slamming into the ground in front of the Wither.

Nothing happened for a few seconds, until its head slowly slid off of its body. In a last attempt to kill us, it prepared to explode. I was alone next to it. "Umm...... Help?" I said figuring I would have to feel death for the first time.

"I got you," I heard Andr say, as she wrapped her arms around my neck. *Poof* we ended up behind a small mound of nether rack as it exploded. I shielded her with my body. The nether rack gave away, dealing a little bit of damage to my back.
