Dragons, Enders, Attack! A Minecraft Story [WARNING: OLD AND CRINGEY]

Chapter Twenty Nine

Cree POV

I released the last string on my bow and the arrow sailed through the air while making a slight whistle. It made a loud THUMP when it hit the Netherrack target that was about ten blocks away. I was satisfied with this one so much I almost wanted to leave the little arrow there. But sadly, I had to use it against the Enderarmy.
I suddenly heard the crunching of footsteps against the Netherrack floor. I turned around and slid my bow back into my inventory. Betty was running towards us frantically. She looked worn out and I curious to know where she had been and what she had been doing.
Skella, myself, Honey, Jade, and Affinity all walked towards her and waited to catch her breath but she didn't wait.

"Take *Pant* a look *Pant* outside!" Betty exclaimed.

We were all curious as to what she meant by that, but we waited a few short minutes for Betty to calm down.
She eventually took her hands off her knees and straightened her position. She took a deep breath and explained what she meant before.

"Tatum and I went outside for a bit,and well, she used one of her powers." Betty pointed to the tunnel that she had come from and motioned for us to follow her up it to the surface.
She went first and we all filed in behind her. It was extremely squished in there and let's just say that I'm slightly claustrophobic. I'm not very comfortable in super warm and small places. I start feeling dizzy and nauseous.

We eventually reached the top of the tunnel and I took deep breaths but gagged a couple times. I wasn't quite expecting for the air up here to be the exact same underground! I had inhaled a bunch of smoke-like air that I coughed out.
In the last few minutes, I didn't hear anyone say anything. I was curious to why there was just an awkward silence floating in the air so I stood up.
As soon as I did so, I gasped and my eyes widened. I stumbled backwards and nearly tripped on a large piece of Netherrack. I caught my footing but just kept staring at what I saw.
Right in front of my very eyes, was a humongous army. It was filled with Wither Skeletons carrying stone swords but a few of them were clutching iron blades, ghasts with stern expressions and soot stained faces and bodies, pigmen that didn't show a touch of fright in their faces, the blazes' didn't have an expression because they only have eyes, and same with the magma cubes.
I turned my body to my right and saw Honey with the exact same look planted onto her face. I walked up to her and tapped her shoulder. She jumped a bit and turned to me with her expression moulding back into a normal one.

"Do you have any clue on how this happened?" She asked.

I shook my head. "No but I think Tatum has something to do with it and for the first time, I'm actually proud of her."

Suddenly, at that very moment I said it, walked up Tatum.

"Aw thanks Cree but I still don't take back that punch in the jaw." She said sarcastically.

Rage boiled up inside of me. I felt like I had to punch Tatum in the jaw. I glared at her while bawling up my fist behind my back.
I immediately lunged at Tatum and attempted to get a swing at her. She seemed surprised by the sudden act because she had fallen over on her butt again and made that strange yell.
She somehow had dodged my blow and kicked me off her. I saw Tatum lift up her hand and a small glowing thing formed in it.

Oh no! She's going to shoot a fireball at me! I screamed in my head. I looked around for something to throw at Tatum while she was building up her fireball. My eyes frantically skimmed across the ground and stopped on a large piece of Netherrack. I scurried over to it and picked it up.
The Netherrack was extremely light but still rough like sandpaper.
I charged towards Tatum and she ran at me with her hand clutching a glowing ball of pure heat, and blasting colours.
I was about to throw it at her, when I felt arms wrap around me and grab my hands. They pulled them behind my back and shoved me to the ground.
I yelled and struggled under the person's grip as they held me down. My heart was beating frantically and my mind was producing ideas like; Oh no! Has the Enderarmy taken me captive? And stuff like that.
I eventually had the strength to lift my head up to see who was holding me down. I signed breath of relief when I saw it was only Honey. But then confusion flowed through my mind.
