Loyalties - GoodTimesWithScar

I watch as Scar is chased down the side of Magic Mountain, his cloak flapping wildly behind him. In hot pursuit are Bdubs, Etho, Skizzle, and Tango, all have bows drawn, swords unsheathed, or potions uncapped and at the ready to be used. Gripping the handle of my diamond sword tightly, I feel the amulet Scar gave me to communicate buzz rapidly in my pocket, signaling S.O.S in morse code. Glancing at it, I sigh heavily before calling out to Scott,

"I'm gonna be gone for a bit!" He glances up from the section of the wall he'd decided to rebuild, nodding, a grimace on his face.

"Don't let yourself die for him. Alright?" I nod back, popping my spyglass back into my satchel and scaling down the other side of the wall, taking off into a sprint after the large group. Dodging any low hanging branches, large ditches, and large mounds of dirt, I spot Scars purple cape beside me, just on the other side of the river.

"Scar!" I shout, gaining his attention, and his gaze for a brief moment. "Fairies Forest!" He looks confused before realization hits and he nods vigorously, banking right towards me as the river begins to show signs of ending soon. An arrow wizzes by my head, narrowly missing, but it doesn't deter me. I glance back swiftly, finding Bdubs with his bow drawn back, aiming for Scar. Glancing over, I push my legs faster, pushing him out of the way just in time for the arrow to zip between the two of us, where he'd previously been.

"Oh ho!" Scar shouts in surprise.

"What did you do, Scar!?" I shout angrily at him, glaring ahead of us.

"I just wanted to sell them some magic blocks!" You've gotta be kidding me. I groan, ducking under a branch as another arrow whips by us.

"Y/N! Stop protecting him!" I hear Tango yell, obviously annoyed. I shake my head somewhat in amusement at the situation, and what I'm about to do.

"Not happening anytime soon guys!" I laugh out loud. Reaching behind my back, I grasp a vial, and pulling it into my peripheral vision I see the leaf green liquid sloshing around aggressively. Poison. Glimpsing behind me, I see them in a close enough range that I bring it in front of me before hurling it over my head.

"WATCH OUT-" Skizzles voice is cut off by the breaking of glass, quickly followed by coughing and sputtering. Nice job Y/N. Now you've made an enemy out of team B.E.S.T! Grasping the purple fabric flapping around beside me, I yank him hard to the right, pulling him into an extremely dense part of the forest. After a few more moments of running, we break out into a small clearing and I slow my pace to a jog, then a brief walk before bending over and heaving in breath, my palms pressed against my knees.

"Whoa...that was quite the run."

"Hey Scar..?"

"Yeah?

"Maybe...maybe stop selling those damn things."

"Duly noted." I let out a breathy laugh before everything goes quiet. The only noises being the sounds of our labored breathing and the rustling of the trees. It goes too quiet. Surely they would've followed us? Those guys go nowhere without at least one bucket of milk or even just a bucket...right? I nearby moo cuts off my thoughts and I freeze. Drawing my sword, I quickly stand to attention.

"Scar, get behind me now." He gives me a confused look at my sudden aggression, but chooses not to argue or question. He pulls a shield from behind him and latches it onto his non-dominant arm, having no weapon in his other hand. My eyes dart around wildly for any sign of movement.

"I think you've been hanging out with Scott too much Y/N." A figure jumps out towards me from the trees, our swords, both diamond, clashing together in defense and offense. I shove him back, seeing the familiar green moss cloak of Bdubs. He stumbles, but I give him no time to recoup, striking swiftly. He hurriedly parries it.

"Ethos taught you well 'Dubs." I speak confidently, leaning over our swords teasingly.

"Yeah. He also taught me that you're a good person, but your loyalties lie with the wrong people." He attempts to strike me at the ribs, but I twist out of the way. "And that makes you dangerous." The sound of an arrow embedding itself in wood brings my attention behind me.

"Scar, run!" I shout, kicking Bdubs square in the chest, moving him away from me once again. Turning to run to Scars aid, Etho appears in front of me, ender particles dissipating slowly around him, with his sword raised to strike. I whip my blade up to meet his, successfully stopping it. He continues to try and bring it down, sharp side directed towards my kneeling figure, while I push on my own, flat side up, one hand gripping the handle, using the other one's palm to push the other side upwards.

"He's not worth your effort Y/N." I grit my teeth from the force.

"I'm not going to let you guys just kill him."

"Why? What has he done for you? Or for anyone in that case?"

"People can change Etho!" I see Etho open his mouth to speak behind his dark mask but is cut off when an arrow whizzes towards us, embedding its head into my hip, its bright teal feathers catching my eye. I gasp before I feel a new found strength course through my veins. With a burst of my new found strength, I harshly shove him off me, causing him to slam into the tree just behind him. Standing I gaze at the treeline, spotting a mop of light teal hair. Thanks Scott. Rushing forward, I grab Skizz by the back of his collar and yank him backwards, away from Scars' nearly destroyed shield. He gazes up from the ground at my face, then my hip.

"You- um, you've got something...sticking out..."

"I'm aware." Reaching my hand forward, I grab his arm and pull him to his feet. "You're gonna owe my big time now Mr. Wizard."
