Lilly's POV

"I don't like the thought that there is a baby Wither only a few feet away from me." I said quietly.

"Dylan said it was okay, I trust him." Bayani said back.

"GUYS!" Jordanne yelled from across the base.

"What now, Jordanne?" Dylan groaned.

"Look at what Ricardo can do!" She squealed. "Do the thing, buddy!"

And all at once, the pesky Wither flew up into the air and did a back flip. Jordanne squealed with joy and Dylan clapped as if he were amused.

"Why are you giving him such a bad look?" Jordanne whined.

"I still don't trust that thing." I said.

"I told you! His name is Ricardo and he has feelings! Respect them!" Jordanne yelled and gave her pet a hug.

Bayani rolled his eyes. "Jordanne, it's a damn Wither, we don't know if it's evil or not, so it could kill us all, eventually."

Jordanne groaned. "Maybe that's a good thing, at least I can get rid of you. Ricardo, fireball attack!" She yelled.

"What the fuck is this, Pokemon?" Bayani scoffed.

Jordanne gasped for a good five seconds. She then stood up and ran around the base while shouting, "POKEMON, GOTTA CATCH THEM ALL, GOT TO CATCH THEM ALL POKEMON!" With Ricardo following her around throughout the entire 'dance.'

Dylan put both his hands up and shushed us. After a few seconds, I spoke. "Dylan, what are you doing?"

"I'm waiting to make sure a wild Hbomb doesn't show up to fangirl about-" He got into a whisper. "Pokemon."

And we all bursted out laughing, and Ricardo did another backflip.

"Alright, guys, we need to be serious here." I said.

"Right, we need to find the nearest pizza place because I'm starved." Bayani said.

I rolled my eyes and dug into my bag. "Hey!" He said when I threw a granola bar at him.

"We need to settle on the plan. What are we gonna do?" I asked.

No one said anything. "Okay fine, I'll say my idea then." I said. "We're going to wither HQ, we need to shut them down. Someone's gotta do it before they take over the world." I told them.

"Lilly, there are over a hundred, ginormous Withers at their headquarters." Dylan said.

"Don't you think I know that?" I said. "We have to get in there, unless you want to stay in this base that things-" I pointed to Ricardo, "-can clearly get into."

"She has a good point..." Bayani cut in.

"Once we get past enough Withers to get inside headquarters of the arena, we can see if there's a way to stop it. If there isn't, we'll at least be able to have some insight on how to stop the Withers." I said.

"That's a pretty good plan." Jordanne nodded.

"Then, whoever's with the plan, raise your hand." I said. And luckily, we all raised our hands.

"What about you, little buddy? You with us?" Jordanne asked Ricardo. He just gave a little jump. "I'll take that as a yes!"

"Great." I said. "We've got a long ways to walk, we leave at sunrise." I said and walked over to my bunk.

-----

"One, two, three-" I heard Jordanne whisper.

"Lilly I'm tireeeeed."

"My legs huuuurt."

"I'm hungryyyy."

"Are we there yeeeeet?"

"Ya'll, shut up." I rolled my eyes. At this point, they're just trying to annoy me.

Then they all erupted into laughs. "Shh." I said.

"What?" Bayani asked.

"I heard something, shh," I said and we went silent. We all walked slow, and tried to keep our steps quiet.

"What the hell, it was a rabbit." Jordanne pointed at a bush.

"No it wasn't, Jordanne," Dylan said. "Duck!" And he pushed her onto the ground. I turned around to see a Wither floating right behind us.

I didn't even stop to say anything, I just began to fire my bow and arrows. "RUN!" I said once it was distracted.

We all tried to run but it kept firing fireballs after us.

After Dylan and I shot the Wither a few more times it began to get closer to the ground. Jordanne and Bayani went in to try and get it with their knives.

And then it all stopped.

They hadn't even stabbed the Wither a few times, but it's robotic body landed on the ground.

"What? How did it die so quickly?" Bayani said, confused like the rest of us.

"It was Ricardo!" Jordanne shouted. "He shot a fireball and hit the Wither square in the face, YAY RICARDO!"

"He one shotted it?" Dylan asked.

"To be fair, we got it down to at least half health. That's how it works in the game, I imagine the robots are the same. Then Bayani and Jordanne stabbed it a few times, so I guess a fire ball could have killed it." I reasoned.

"That's a good point." Dylan said.

"We need to be extra careful, guys." I told the group. "Let's keep going, we won't be there until nightfall."

"Wait, we're going to fight a hundred Withers in the dark?" Bayani looked at me like I was crazy.

"Yes Bayani, we're going to be able to take down a ton of Withers in pitch black." I rolled my eyes. "We're going to set up camp a ways away so that it's close enough to walk to but the Withers won't see us." I told him.

"Oh, that's actually a good idea." He said.

"I'm full of them!" I smiled. "Let's keep going, and complaining won't help us get there any quicker."
