Adventures of The Animations: The Cadet's Return

Chapter 1: A Peaceful Day (Or So We Thought)

The PC was quiet for once. Everyone was hanging out and taking the time to chill and work on some things that they needed to. Red was in his barn, spending time with his animals. Yellow was messing with the command block staff trying a few new blocks in the staff and trying a few new commands in the command block. Green was working on a new song that he had been wanting to write for a while. Blue was currently working on making new potions. Chosen and Second were off to the side, with Chosen helping Second with mastering his powers. Fallen and Jade were sitting on a bench, holding hands and happily chatting with each other. After Fallen's accident and with much persuasion, Second managed to convince Alan to let Fallen and Jade become permanent residents on the PC.

The sound of the nether portal drew everyone's attention. A purple stick figure walked out. He smiled seeing the guys and ran over giving them each a hug. Following Purple was a tall orange stick figure. He waved to the group, heading over to Yellow, chatting with the stick figure and giving him ideas for new blocks and commands to test the staff with.

Second walked over to the group. "We just waiting on Crimson and Goldfinch?"

Mango nodded. "Yep, from what I heard, Crimson is going to see if the head of his college would let him finish his degree after his unfortunate interruption."

"We're here!" A voice sounded and a crimson stick figure and a golden stick figure walked out of the portal.

"Crimson! How'd it go?" Red waved as he ran over, with Rueben right behind him.

Crimson smiled, bending down, patting Rueben on the head. "It went great!"

Goldfinch looked at Crimson. "Tell them the good news, Crim."

"I talked with the head of the college. He said that since my interruption of my senior year was such a strange case and has never happened, and that my grades were exceptional and it was basically almost the end of the year, that I don't need to worry about attending any more classes. I've been already marked as having graduated! He handed me my diploma right there in the meeting."

"Congrats Crimson!" Cheers echoed around the room.

"I'll go get some celebratory cake made real quick!" Blue raced off towards the kitchen.

"I'm coming with. I don't trust you. You'd try to slip netherwart into the cake." Green grunted, placing his headphones around his neck and racing off after his younger brother.

Chosen and Second laughed watching the two run off. Purple then looked at the hollowhead brothers. "How's training going?"

"It's going really well. Second's really mastering his powers." Chosen put his arm around Second and pulling the younger hollowhead in close and ruffled his hair.

"Chosen! What have I said about doing that?!" Second complained, although he wasn't upset at all.

"Oh come on, I'm just messing." Chosen teased.

"Oh, I'll show you messing." Second pounced and the two brothers began to playfully wrestle.

Laughter sounded from the group.

In moments, Blue returned announcing the cake had been finished. They headed into the kitchen and everyone grabbed a slice. The group then sat around chatting, eating cake and enjoying their time together.

"What do you think Doom, Finch, Echo, and Vesuvius are doing right now?" Red smiled as he reached for another slice of cake.

Yellow slapped Red's hand, giving him a teasing-scolding-look. "I'm sure they're enjoying their peace, as much as we are."

"You can say that again." Green leaned back in his chair.

"We really did free Pyrrhia." Mango commented as he set his fork down, as he finished his slice of cake.

"With Venomara dead, then there's no chance of Pyrrhia being taken over by her again." Fallen's metallic wings flicked and almost hit Chosen. "Oops, my bad, Chosen." Fallen then reached back and pulled his wings off, taking them over, and placing them on the couch. He then did the same with his metallic tail. Reaching up, Fallen then removed the white mask, laid it on top his wings, and headed back to the table.

"Fallen? You aren't wearing your mask?" Jade looked at him.

"I really only wore that to hide my scars. I feel comfortable around you all now and don't feel that I need to hide my scars. Now, if we go into Stick City at all, then yes, I'm going to wear my mask." Fallen sighed, his gaze traveling to his reflection in his phone screen, the large burn scar on the right side of his face visible.

"So what we want to do today?" Second looked at the group. He was just happy that they were finally together as one and no one was captured or under any sort of corruption.

"How about we........?" Chosen was interrupted by the sounds of the Wi-Fi portal opening up. "Stay here. I'll check it out." Chosen got up from the table and walked outside.

He arrived to the Wi-Fi symbol, eyeing the bright white gateway that now stood there. Chosen felt a presence behind him and he saw the cursor had come over, signifying Alan was here.

"I've got your back, Chosen."

"Alan, if something happens to me, if this turns out to be Victim having finally found the PC, I want you to go with the others and flee. I'll cover as long as I can and protect your PC."

"Wow." 

Chosen looked at Alan. "What?"

"Never thought I'd hear you say you'd protect my PC."

"Times change, Alan. All that is in the past. We focus on the present now."

Chosen then slid into a fighting stance as something began to come through the portal. Something came dashing out of the portal, barreling into Chosen and sent him flying backwards.

"CHOSEN!" Second came running over, helping Chosen to his feet. "You're hurt!"

Chosen looked where Second was referring and saw a nice size gash on his arm. It almost looked like what a dagger could do. His eyes glowed bright red as he saw the figure stand at the portal entrance.

It was a hollowhead. A cadet blue colored hollowhead. She spun her dagger, laughing as she eyed the hollowheads. "Hello, again boys. I told you that wasn't the last you'd see of me and that I'd be back."

Despite the pain in his arm and the blood that was running down his arm, Chosen slid into his fighting stance.

Cadet was back and this time, she wasn't an ally.
