Third Person POV

Soro, Ridgedog, Sierra, Notch, and Star traverse a devastated Craft City. They walk past destroyed buildings, various mob and Minecraftian corpses, cracked ground, and craters of all sizes. Finally, they come across a mostly intact gold-colored building known as Sky Army Base. Inside the gats, scattered around the courtyard are what's left of Sky Army and the Yognau(gh)ts. Some are getting their wounds looked at. Others are mourning the lose of loved ones. Everyone else sits in a foreboding silence.

"This looks depressing," Star mumbles.

"War is not fun and games." Notch replies. "It is loss and suffering and fighting for what you believe is right."

Sky climbs on top a broken stage. It looks to have once been a training arena. He stands tall and strong as his gaze travels the crowd. "Could I have everyone's attention," Sky calls out. Silence is his only response. "Some of you may know me. Others may not. My name is Adam but most people call me Sky. I am the commander of Sky Army. I know this battle has been tough. Not just for you or me but for all of us. I know that many of us, myself included, have lost friends, family, and loved ones. When this war is over and things have settled down I will build a memorial. Not just for those who have fallen but for those that survive. It will be a memorial for everyone who has been apart of this war and has made an impact on our world's future." He pauses. He gazes around point eyes with his remaining friends. They nod to him encouraging him to continue.

"With that said," he starts again. "I know that the future looks bleak. We have lost many already and we are sure to lose more. But we can't give up just yet. We are all that Minecraftia has left to protect her. We must keep fighting!p! This is our time to stand up for what we believe in! This is our time to defend Minecraftia to our last breath! So that all the sacrifices we've made and all the people who've lost their lives don't go in vein! So that we don't continue living knowing that we gave up while they died trying! This is our time to rise up against Brine! This is our time to fight back! Now, who's with me!" Sky raises his fist in the air. The courtyard erupts with cheers and chants as everyone rises to their feet with fists in the air. They stand ready to fight one last time!
