The Original Four Heroes

Chapter 1

"Bet you can't catch me!"
I taunt SkythekidRS as I run past him, my wolf, Red, trailing close behind me.

"You wanna bet?" Sky chuckles as he rushes after me, his butter helmet shining with the enchantments we earned on the faction server.

An arrow whizzed past me. I whip my head around to see two players, JoeyLabCraft and Loganreese123, pointing enchanted bows at us. I wish my skin could raise an eyebrow because I ironically knew both of them, I even knew Logan in real life.

"Joey! It's me, Absolin!" He keeps his bow up. "Prove it!" I pause, thinking of what to say. "I remember when I first asked to join your faction, you had the smart plan to teleport me to another base you found, destroyed, and looted to see if you could trust me. When you trusted me, you teleportated me to your real base."

Joey chuckled like he was remembering that. "Nobody would know that unless they where apart of the original faction on that other server."

Logan, though, didn't seem to trust me so easily. "Okay, he trusts you, but I don't." I smile at my screen. "Well, Logan, I remember when you let everyone use your Minecraft account back when I was a horrible noob, and do you remember the immense underground base we made?" Sky just stood there, dumb-founded.

"Why do you know everyone?"  He joked.

"I guess I'm just really popular!" Everyone burst out laughing. "You guys need a faction?" I asked, being the owner of Hero's Guild, I got to have a say on who should join, but I always consulted  in my admins, SkythekidRS, Stampylongnose, and Sparkyfireworks.

In the beginning, it was just me, Sparky, and her sister Beakerflap123. But when random YouTubers started joining the server looking for a faction, we happily allowed them to join.

I'm suprised I haven't burst with the thought of working alongside my favorite youtubers.

There was Blitzwinger who got me into the lego games,

Gizzy14Gazza, who inspired me with his roleplays,

Stampylongnose, the YouTuber who I was teased for liking, but never stopped watching his lovely world and adventure maps,

Skydoesminecraft, who I can never stop watching, no matter how hard I try,

IBallisticsquid, Stampy's best friend and my personal favorite friend of his,

Gizzy14gazza's friends, ItsCib, Yoshitomario, and Bashaverse, who always made me laugh when they were in a video together,

Skydoesminecraft's friends, JinBop, House_Owner (ROSSSSSSS!), and ThatGuyBarney, who by themselves are hilarious, but together? Oh boy,

And Aphmau, who my friends keep urging me to continue watching Minecraft Diaries because I am only on season 1. 

"Come on then, the base's this way!" I called to the others. We raced through the spruce (Author's Note- if you watch Stampy, read it the way he says it) forest, killing a few creepers and spiders along the way.

As we neared the base, we slowed down until I told them to stop. I took 5 steps and broke a grass block. Underneath, there was a ladder leading far underground.

"Nicely hidden base!" Joey remarked, slightly confused on how I knew the exact location so well.

I let the others go first and headed down, stopping only to replace the block on our entrance.

As we descended farther down, gamer tags started being visible. I dropped down into the pool of water at the bottom, beating the others down.

"All members of the Hero's Guild gather around the underground river for a faction meeting!" I called everyone with the words I had read and changed multiple times.

Only a few of the faction members understood that reference to my favorite book series, and I liked to keep it that way.

"My fellow guild members, we have two new members. I hope you treat them with the same respect you treat the other members!" Logan laughed. He understood the reference, seeing as he was the first guy I found to like the series.

"Logan! Joey! Logan! Joey!" The chat was filled those names. The other people at first where confused of my ways of running the faction, some even made fun of it and said I should change the name to Stupid's Guild, but none of us ever listened. Soon people started to get used to seeing stuff like this in the chat daily.

As I dismissed the the guild, I felt something strange, almost as if somebody was tugging at my sleeve. I looked around realizing that my admins looked confused as well.

A strange voice filled my head.

You and your friends have a horrible destiny ahead of you, but do not be afraid, I will be with you every step of the way...

And everything went black.

Gizzy's POV
After the meeting was over, I decided I was going to go see if I could go enchant a few things at spawn. I walked towards Wanda, but at that moment, a low sound came and a brilliant flash of light covered my screen.

Did the server crash? I thought questionly. As the white light faded, I was standing in the guild still, but something wasn't right.

Wanda, Sparky, Sky and Stampy were all gone.
