Chpt 11 - You're Too Late

“Alright, Team.” Adam whispers, “This is it.”

“I still don’t understand what we’re doing.” Ty admits.

Adam facepalms, “Are you kidding me right now?”

“I’m… sorry…” Ty mumbles.

Adam sighs, “So we’re gonna drink these water breathing potions here and go into that water over there. We’re looking for any sort of base.”

“Okay.” Jerome nods.

“Sweet.” Quentin responds.

“If we do find a base, we need to look for any plans they might be making, alright? That’s all we need to do.” Adam tells everyone.

“Okay.” Azalea replies.

“Cool.” Ian comments.

“So are we ready?” Adam asks.

“I guess so.” Ty mutters.

“Okay, let’s drink the water breathing potions and go.” Adam says, taking his water breathing potion from his inventory.

The Team drink their potions and dive into the water, drawing their swords. They swim down to the bottom and start walking across the sea bed.

“What’s that?” Jason asks, seeing a dark shadow in the distance.

“It looks promising whatever it is.” Adam replies, “Come on… stay quiet though.” Adam leads everyone to the huge shadow of a building.

Eventually, the Team are only a few blocks away from a poorly built hut made from lapis-lazuli. Above the doorway, a sign reads ‘Totally not a secret squid base’.

“Well then…” Adam says, “I think we were right.”

“Hmm…” Azalea grumbles.

“Well…?” Adam steps forward, “You coming or what?” he asks the Team.

“Alright.” Ty replies. The Team enter the base one by one, except for Mitch and Azalea.

Mitch grabs Azalea’s hand, “What’s wrong?” he whispers.

“Something’s not right.” Azalea whispers back.

“What’s not right?” Mitch asks.

“I’m not sure… I feel there’s something much bigger here we’re not seeing.” Azalea answers.

Mitch grabs both of Azalea’s arms and turns to her, “Aza… you don’t have to do this, you know. If you feel there’s something wrong, just say and boom we’re outta here.”

Azalea glances at the base, “But what about the Team?”

“I can’t believe I’m saying this, but right now they don’t matter. If you wanna get out of here, just say it.” Mitch replies.

Azalea closes her eyes and takes a deep breath, “Alright. Let’s screw this.”

The lapis base actually turned out to be a huge flight of stairs leading deep into the ground, the Team make their way down them until they come upon a large room filled with crafting tables, furnaces, chests and anvils. But it looked long abandoned, with cobwebs residing in all the corners and part of the stone brick floors all broken or covered in moss.
