When Two Worlds Collide: A Minecraft YouTubers Story (Discontinued)

| Chapter Twenty-Two | Jasper Mason Aello {Minecraftia}

Wait..did I update this story this week already? ....I forget if I did or not...

I'll have you know, I haven't been writing chapters for any of my other books expect for WTWC and my tag book. So yeah....my head still hurt a bit from my concussion but it has almost completely gone away. I just have a big memory problem now......

I should probably work on other stories...but I think I have half a chapter written for one of them...I forget which though....

And I feel as if this might be evil to you OCD people...but look at the chapter numbers again...especially around Chapter Three and Chapter Five.... tell me if you notice something...

Enjoy the chapter! :)

Jasper Mason Aello. A slim and sort of built guy, his tanned skin is decorated with freckles, his hair is dark and thick. Dark rich brown eyes with black boots that stop halfway up his calves with black pants and a button up dark green shirt. A quiver full of arrows strapped to his back with a black bow attached to it. He pretty well is known around the Sky Army, he's known as a smart and easy going guy, but he can take a hit when need be.

Right now he was making arrowheads when he was interrupted, told the Commander wanted to speak with him. At first, he was happy to know the Commander was awake, but he sensed something strange, especially when he entered the hospital room. Sky was sitting on the side of the bed, he's gripping the bed, his teeth gritted and pain written in his expression. Jasper goes up to him.

"You should rest, Commander," Jasper said. Sky's eyes flicked up.

"I know, Jasper. But...I need you to do something for me." Sky said. Jasper nods.

"What is it?" Jasper asks.

"The Squid King will learn that I survived the attack, and he'll strike again. Next time, the base. With almost all of the Generals and Captains gone, he'll break our defense." Sky said. Jasper touches Sky's shoulders, keeping him steady when Jasper say him swaying.

"You'll protect us—"

"Jasper..listen to me..." Sky said. Jasper took a step back, looking at the Commander. "If we are attacked, I need you to promise me you'll take Alesa and run." Jasper's eyes widen a little.

"But...You'll defeat him—"

"I can barely stand—"

"You're strong! And Alesa wouldn't leave you behind." Jasper said.

"Which is why you will make her. Just promise me you will." Sky said. Jasper shakes his head.

"I can't because you'll need me here to help you just like—"

"Than I order you." Sky snapped shutting Jasper up. Sky sighs. He looks at the floor. "I know why you are getting mad at me, but...I don't know if I have much fight left in me. Ever since Barney, I've grown weak—"

"No, you haven't. You aren't weak." Jasper said. Sky looks at Jasper.

"Instead of gaining recruits, I'm losing them. The death count has dramatically increased on the Sky Army side and has decreased on the Squid King's side. And....I've lost the support from most of Minecraftia nowadays...You can't tell me that I just...." Sky trailed off. Jasper stared at him. 'Everyone knows that Barney's death changed the Commander, but we didn't know it was this bad.' Jasper thought.

"Alright," Jasper said. Sky looks at him. "I'll protect Alesa, but you have to promise me something too."

"What?" Sky asks.

"That you will fight back," Jasper said.

"Jasper, I can't stand...I can't fight..." Sky said. Jasper uncrosses his arms.

"Since when has that stopped you? I remember a time when keeping you in a hospital was next to impossible. Doctors were always barking at you to rest but you kept fighting. That's the same attitude that wins us wars. Why has that changed? You barely listen to doctors, and it is weird you are starting to." Jasper said. Sky smiled a little.

"I'll try but..I'm not promising anything." Sky said. Jasper smiles.

"Not that's what I want to hear. Or at least sort of want. We're with you, Commander. We know the danger going in, what ends up happening to us is never your fault. The Sky Army is...we're a family. And we take care of each other if you need help just say something. We will be there." Jasper said. Sky looks at Jasper.

"That's good to hear." Sky said smiling. Jasper smiles.

"So...can we go offensive with this war? We are itching for a fight. Not that your defensive plans were bad it is just..well—"

"They are sh*t.." Sky said. Jasper nods.

"Yeah.."

"I know. I know they are bad and not smart but...I don't know what else to do." Sky said. Jasper sits down beside Sky.

"This is when you ask us our opinions. We'll get you back to yourself, and General Jason and the others will show up again soon. But the squids are destroying villages and towns. And we can't stand here and let it happen." Jasper said. Sky sighs.

"Alright....get me a pen and some paper. I'll draw up some battle strategies and get General Ty." Sky said. Jasper smiles and stands.

"Right away, sir," Jasper said before he leaves.
