Confessions (SkyLox)

Chapter 2 - Jason

Confessions Chapter 2

Sky trudged towards the army base. At first, he remembered thinking that having a long path would be better because enemies would have to walk twice as long to get there, giving them time to set up battle formations.

Now? Now he just hated himself. Ty was dying in his hands, the various stab marks leaving his body soaked in dark, crimson liquid. Adam winced, looking down at the limp, lifeless body. The light skin was now splattered and smeared; it was quite the seen to take in.

Jason's P.O.V.-

Jason tinkered with the mechanics, getting his hands dirty and grimy. He wiped it on his fingers on his shirt, leaving long streak marks of grease.

He sighed, wiping his forehead with the back of his head. It was strangely hot out for an Autumn day. The sun was beating down intensely, and there was no shadows near the entrance of the base. He wondered where Ty and Sky were - there had been an attack from the squids a few hours ago, and they had headed out to deal with it. Jason had caught Ty staring at Adam weird ; but he had quickly dismissed it and gotten back to work on the gears of the gate.

The gate had been extra glitchy lately. It would never open when you wanted I too, most of the times you even had to manually push it open. The entire army, which was more than 5,000,000 people, all knew this wouldn't do it battle. If anyone was injured, or if they desperately needed to retreat, and the gate didn't come, it would be a disaster.

There was a loud pop, and Jason dove away from the controls as it sparked, causing a mini explosion. Smoke spread everywhere, and he had to wave his hands in front of his face to keep it from rapidly entering his lungs.

He scrambled to his feet and backed as far away as possible from the devise, waiting for the hot smoke to disperse in the air.

He wiped his hands once again on the apron of his mechanic uniform, which of course was given to him in the courtesy of Ty.

Ty. Where are they? Jason thought once again.

To keep him mind off of it, he steered back to the piece of machinery, which was now mostly clear of the dirty air.

He opened up the control panel and took a good look inside. He gasped when he looked at the fuse, which was burnt so bad it looked like it would snap in two any second.

"Great." He muttered under his breath. He grabbed the fuse and stuck it in the pocket of his apron. "Gonna have to go get another one..."

He stood up, and dusted his knees off, as they were covered with dirt and grass. They leaved small marks in his legs, making them looked like a checkers board.

It was then he realized how badly his shirt and apron were stained with grime. He tried desperately to wipe it off, which just resulted in getting his hands even more dirty.

"And a set of new clothes..." He muttered angrily to himself. He stuffed his screwdriver and hammer in the same pocket of his apron, and turned around. He began to walk up the steps to the main entrance of the HQ, when...

He heard a rustling sound.

He quickly ripped his sword out of the holster around his waist and pointed it at the sound. Jason wiped the hair out of his face, which was sticking because of the intensifying heat.

Had Sky and Ty failed? Were the squids coming from the base now?

The figure grew closer, and Jason held the sword out even farther, stretching his arms out to their very limit.

He could slowly make out a head, black hair, looked like it was carrying something, and... Sunglasses.

"Sky!" He cried happily, relieved the leader had returned alright. "Are you okay?! Where's Ty?! What are you holdi-" he continued, but stopped short as Sky emerged from the shadows. MinecraftUniverse could now fully see the blooded body of Ty that hang limp from the commanders arms...

"Oh my..." He breathed and raced over to them, he quickly checked Ty over ; he was breathing, but just barely. In all probability, he was clinging to the thread of life he still had left.

"I'll go get Seto and Fluffy. They can take care of him. You, sit." Jason ordered. Sky was also injured, a small limp and a trail of blood following behind him. Jason wanted him to rest that foot.

He slipped his arm around Sky's elbow in a friendly manor and led him to the steps. He set him down, Adam still cradling the limp and lifeless body close to him.

Jason ran as quickly as his feet could take him, jumping the steps in the stairs till he was in the main room.

"THE FLUFFY AND SETO! I NEED FLUFFY AND SETO, OUTSIDE, NOW!"
