Zombie slayer: A Minecraft story

Chapter 13

we were now at a savanna where we arrived at a seemingly natural, untouched hole where Zennor intentionally fell down where at the bottom, there was water below.

After me and my brother and I fell down to the natural pool of water to break our fall, Zennor then got out a stone lever, placed it where the only block of Diorite, and flipped the lever. 

It took a moment to do its Redstone magic before it opened up a two block hole entry.

Zennor: "Ladies first?" as she gestured us to go in. I went first, then my brother, before Zennor got rid of the lever and entered as we walked six blocks diagonally down before the Redstone door shut behind us.

We then hit Deepslate 15 blocks diagonally down later, even though we were at Y level 30 and Deepslate usually is at Y level 8. Zennor assured us that this is one of his many underground, ground, and air safe houses he goes to in case of any hostile sieges or being hunted.

There was a seemingly realistic mine with iron ores embedded into the Deepslate blocks, which Zennor said not to mine unless it was for emergency. Zennor gotten the same lever he used earlier in a stone block and flipped it, causing the Redstone door to immediately open to a long drop where ladders were at the bottom and a pressure plate on the other side of the Redstone door.

After the three of us got past the door, I accidentally pushed my brother into that long drop!

Luckily, the 2 by 2 drop, which had two ladders on each end, had acted like it was someone falling into a water pool. Me and Zennor did the same and had the exact same outcome. Where we couldn't see it before was a one block wide tower of ladders. I remarked, "So this doesn't require water, that's genius."

Also on the other side from the other ladder end where we all survived, there was Zennor's secret base with chests, a few beds, useful blocks like a crafting table, several furnaces, a few campfires with carpets on top to prevent anyone from getting burned and even several villagers with two iron golems looking after bamboo, sugar cane, wheat, carrot, and skeleton farms to use in tree, cow, sheep, pig and chicken farms.

Zennor: "Nice to see you all again. We have a mission here that involves curing a seemingly incurable zombie."

All the villagers and iron golems came out from the farms to see their saviour Zennor, a sweet looking guest which would be me, and my brother as an undetected intruder as the two iron golems slowly went for my brother. Zennor panicked and realised that iron golems attacked hostile mobs and tried to stop them.

The left one punched him like he was an arrow from a crossbow landed where I was. I froze up.

I never took on an iron golem head on before since I was a miner and builder, not a fighter, and there were two of them. 

Just when the left one was going for round 2 with Zennor, Tonji stood in front of him to protect him. The two golems stopped. They had never seen a zombie defend for their seemingly traitorous saviour before. The left golem then continued to march, but the right golem stopped the left golem, nodding not to provoke them.

The left golem spoke: (Note: the golem spoke formally) "Can't you see that he's a zombie. Zombies kill players and villagers!"

Right golem: "Bro why do you think all zombies kill, because some don't at all because I only seen one zombie who only messes around, and that was a rumoured legend named Gary the zombie."

Left golem: "Even so, we don't know if he can contain his hunger and temptation for killing."

Tonji: "Look, I may be hungry all the time at the moment, but I don't hold a grudge to kill unless someone else does hold a grudge to kill me. But generally, I am not a monster from the inside because monsters do have bad qualities, not bad looks!"

The left golem hesitated to attack my brother for a moment before it decided not to fight Tonji.

Left golem: "You know what, just reassure me that you'll never go near the villagers, and then we're cool. Ok, bro!?"

Tonji: "ok." He said calmly.

The two golems then left us well alone, and the villagers were felt safe by Tonji's reasoning voice, a truce between the iron golems and Zennor trusting him. So Zennor got to his chest, who gave both me and my brother diamond boots and helmets, and netherite chest plates and leggings.

Zennor: "The portal room is over here." He pointed to the left where there was a room where the portal to the nether was. "This should get us to Inso the boar of the nether, one of my many contacts in case I need any help.

Tonji and I were shivering in fear of the name. Inso the boar was an infamous griefer who attacked seemingly attacked random ancient builders who had done minor crimes of stealing, kidnapping villagers, and killed friends out of stupidity by accident. 

Me: "But Inso the boar was an infamous griefer!" 

Zennor was a little confused about how we got the information from, but he assured us that we'll be welcomed by him, which was not reassuring to the both of us. So we went to the portal room where we got everything ready, skulker boxes for potions, splash potions, and food. The rest of the required items included payment to Inso the boar and other contracts we needed for help, weapons, spare armour, shields, and arrows for both bows and crossbows were prepared for the oddessy in the nether.

As we all gathered at the portal, Zennor had the portal lit up as the purple swirling appeared, Zennor started to go towards the portal when...

The portal turned into white swirls, as a similar laugh was heard...

...The laugh of Herobrine!

As Zennor was suddenly jump scared by Herobrine, who was tried to kill Zennor, But I protected Zennor by stabbing Herobrine by the head whilst my brother used two netherite pickaxes to break a block of obsidian, breaking the link to the white portal of Herobrine who then lost his head due to being halfway through the portal and died.

The two golems came in to find that they apparently sensed Herobrine and were grateful for the efforts of the both of us, from letting Herobrine attack and destroy Zennor's secret hideout.

Left golem: "If you two haven't taken action, we would have been doomed from Herobrine, thank you."

The two golems shock hands with me and Tonji. The only person who wasn't happy was Zennor, who now knew that Herobrine was on to us. He was very frustrated.

Zennor: "Great! First, the spider lady who's the first entity we encountered and now we have the Herobrine now on to us."

Tonji groaned hopelessly, "What do we do?"

Zennor thought for a moment before he had a lightbulb moment. "Remember how I have many contacts earlier. Wizard actually specialises in anti-Herobrine magic and is perfect for getting into the nether without Herobrine actually getting even close to him. Although it is a 6,000 block trip to get there, not to mention a 700 block trip to Inso the boar, and if we were to travel there without sleeping, we would also be hunted by phantoms on top of the usual hostile mobs and the spider entity."

I said to Zennor, "I don't really like those odds, but they were what we needed to prevent to Herobrine getting us, but what we do even we try to get back to the overworld. Guess we'll have to worry about that later."

Tonji said, "If it's for the greater good, then it's worth it. What do we say, Zennor?"

Zennor expression changed from a pessimistic to absolute determination as we got his sword on his right arm.

"Let's go..."
