(Still Seto's POV)

"Gold? What in minecraft do you want gold for?" I asked the mayor, clearly confused. Even as a Sky army recruit, I never worshipped gold like Sky and the rest of team crafted did. It didn't have any usefulness, other than make golden apples. But I mean, I'm not complaining. It's better then having to slay the Ender Dragon by a long shot.

"Well, obviously you should have seen this coming. I mean, you were once a Sky army recruit once after all." The mayor said, a hint of annoyance in his voice, as if the plan was written in front of me. I said nothing.

"Sky and the rest of his stupid recruits all worship that stupid yellow stick as if it were a Greek god. That's precisely why we will use it to lead us to Sky's ultimate downfall." The mayor said, a wicked smile growing on his blue face. I nodded, starting to understand the task at hand.

"So...you want me to find gold, so you can use it against Sky?" I asked. The mayor nodded. My face twisted with uncertainty. Sure, they kicked me out of Team Crafted, and made me look like an idiot in front of all the recruits, But....even though they did all that stuff to me, I still....I guess I still felt like I still had connection to them in some way. Like, I didn't have the burning hatred for them like I expected myself to. I had plenty of good times with them, where we exchanged laughs and pranks. Heck, we graduated recruit training together.

"I...I don't know...is there anything else we could-"

"Silence. You signed your soul to me, and that means you will do whatever it is I tell you, whenever I tell you. Now, go. And don't fail me." The squid said sternly, pointing towards the door. Standing up, I walked out the door, giving the mayor one last quick glance. The mayor didn't acknowledge it, but I could tell he meant it when he said not to fail him. I walked out of the City Hall building, and looked around the squid-town. I had absolutely NO idea where the mines could possible be down here.

"Excuse me?" I said, walking up to a random squid. The squid was decently tall, with a large mustache and big eyes. It turned around, and looked at me.

"What do you want." The squid said gruffly, obviously annoyed.

"Can you tell me where the mines are?" I asked politely. The squid rolled it's eyes, and pointed down the street towards a large, gaping hole.

"Thank you." I said, running off. The squid just rolled it's eyes, and went on its way.

Wow, the "people" here are really nice. I thought sarcastically, weaving in and out of crowds of squids. All the squids kept giving me dirty looks, like I was a pile of trash just sitting in the middle of the street. I just kept my head down as much as possible, and didn't make eye contact.

I soon made it to the mines, where I grabbed an iron pick that was sitting in a chest and some unlit torches. Looking around, I realized no other squids were around.

Must be on break. I thought as I started walking towards the nearest mine entrance. Taking a deep breath, I closed my eyes and started venturing deep into the cave.

(Now Sky's POV)

"I shouldn't have let him go down there by himself." I mumbled to myself as I paced in the hospital lobby. "The squid activity...gosh Sky, your such an idiot..."

"Sky? Your talking to yourself. What's wrong?" Jason asked, sitting on one of the little hospital chair. He was reading Minecraft daily.

"What do you mean Jason?" I asked, stopping my pacing and looking at him.

"You were mumbling to yourself, and you only do that when your stressed." Jason said, not looking up from his magazine.

"I don't do that." I said back. He cocked an eyebrow. I sighed.

"Ok, so I mumble. Big deal." I said, walking over and sitting in the chair directly next to him.

"You need to relax Sky, the doctors said Ty would be fine." Jason said, putting his magazine down and looking at me.

"I sure hope so." I said, leaning back in the chair. I closed my eyes, and sighed.

"Um, General Sky? General Jason?" A nurse said, tapping me on the shoulder, I jolted out of my seat, and looked the nurse straight in the eye.

"How is he? Is he ok!" I said, quickly. Somehow the nurse held her composer, and motioned me and Jason to follow her. She lead us to a small room down one of the many hallways in the hospital.

"He is right in there. The doctor should be in there any moment." The nurse said. She ten walked off, leaving me and Jason alone. Jason turned the knob on the small door, and we walked in. The room was a standard hospital room. Tan walls, white curtains, a bed, a window, two small chairs, a small TV, and a small occupant. Ty was laying back on his pillow, his eyes closed and his breathing steady and heavy.

"It looks like he's asleep." Jason whispered to me. I nodded. We sat down in the two chairs that were in the room, listening to Ty's steady breathing. Not more than 2 minutes passed when the door slowly opened and a doctor walked in. He didn't acknowledge us, but just looked at the small chart on attached to Ty's bed. He made a few notes on his clipboard, and walked back out of the room.

"That was a little weird." Jason murmured to me, keeping his voice low. I nodded. Jason turned away from me and closed his eyes. I just sat there, listening to both my friends steady breathing, and kept thinking to myself how I was going to destroy those skeletons for hurting Ty.
