ELF'S P.O.V

I shake hands with the girl from the red team, waiting for the timer to start counting down. I watch as my teammates shake hands in a polite manner with the other team.

I'm Elf, and I'm on the blue team. My team consists of a bacca named Jerome, a derpy guy named Ian, and two other guys named Vik and Pete.

"May the best team win," the girl opposite me says, stepping behind the enchantment table to her side.

A robotic voice tells us that we're ready to go. The ten of us sprint away from the shiny enchantment table and into the forests. The next time we see each other we will be attempting to kill each other.

Jerome starts pounding a tree with his fists, taking blocks of jungle wood slowly but surely. The rest of us copy until we all have enough for the allocated time.

I pull the walkie talkie out of my pocket, the only piece of equipment I've been assigned with. "Let's see who can find a mine or cave," I say I to the microphone, pressing the right buttons.

"We need people on iron duty, chicken duty, gravel duty, string duty, base duty and any other duty required," Ian said.

"I'll do gravel when I get enough iron," I say, and Vik agrees.

"I'll do chickens in a bit," Ian said.

"I'll work on a base, but I'll try and make ladders or something fancy so you can get up there," Pete said.

"What is Jerome gonna do?" I ask.

"Jerome can get string," Vik said. Is he afraid of spiders?

"Found a cave," I said, laughing. I make a crafting table and place it on the ground next to the entrance. I turn some wood into eight sticks and punch the stone until I get three blocks of cobblestone in my inventory.

I make a stone pickaxe, so I can mine my way through the cave with ease. I then mine three more pieces and make a stone sword, followed by a shovel so I collect gravel later on.

I see Vik running towards me in the distance, waving his axe in the air. He's probably been collecting a lot of wood.

"Wanna enter the cave?" He asked.

"Okay," I say. "I have the necessary tools."

"I don't," he said. "Can you make me a pick?"

I sigh but giggle as I mine more cobblestone and make him a stone pickaxe. "Remember, iron is the priority, along with cobble and diamonds."

We walk into the cave and already I find five blocks of iron ore. I mine them, fist pumping the air with triumph.

"I have iron," I say into the walkie-talkie.

"Well done," Pete said. "I have a lot of cobble and coal."

"Oh yeah," Vik said. "We need coal."

I mine the dark ore, watching coal blocks fall from the walls.

"If we carry on like this," I say. "We have a shot of winning."
