Sky ran back the way he'd come, bursting through the door to the TeamCrafted house. "Guys! Where are you?!" Deadlox ran out of the kitchen. "Dood! Where have you been?! We've all been worried sick about you!" Sky ran up to him, grasping him by the shoulders. "It's SSundee." Ty nodded. "Right. Should I bring anything in particular?" Sky shook his head, then frowned slightly. "D'you know where Seto is?" Ty pursed his lips. "He left a few hours ago to look for you." Sky swore and ran back to the door, Ty hot on my heels. "There's not enough time to go find Seto, we'll just have to do this alone! C'mon!" He wrenched it open and started as he came face-to-face with a policeman. The man looked down at a clipboard he was holding. "Are you Skydoesminecraft?" Sky nodded, trying to squeeze past him. "Your friend is under arrest for charges of murder-" "Yeah, good luck with that." Sky started to run, Deadlox pushing the policeman out of the way and running after him. They didn't hear him mutter into an earpiece, "They're heading for the south of the city. We're gonna need reinforcements if they're going where I think they are." They kept running till they reached the edge of the city. There, Sky turned to Ty. "Ok. I just wanna tell you, whatever you see today...you cannot tell anyone, but Mitch and me! Agreed?" Ty nodded uneasily. "A-agreed." Then, the two friends began to walk further and further away from the city, both dreading what they would soon find...

SSundee's POV (A/N: Just wanna warn you guys that this chapters gonna be...very...weird? Lol, you'll see!)

My eyes slowly opened and I gazed up at the clear blue sky above me; clouds drifting lazily across it. I shifted a bit so I was propped up on my elbows. I looked up and saw an oak tree in front of me. There was a rope dangling from it; it swung back and forth like a pendulum. It was hypnotising. I sighed, watching it. My eyes trailed slowly downwards to the end of the rope, and froze; suddenly realising what was dangling from the end of it. I screamed and scrambled away from the man hanging dead from the tree. I cast my gaze around me. It wasn't much better from down here either. Bodies, or what was left of them, were scattered around me. I stood up and backed away from the grisly scene. I must've been attacked while I was shifting. My shoes squelched in the blood saturated soil. My breathing quickened and my heart raced as I heard footsteps and hushed voices approaching. I whipped round and my eyes widened as I saw Sky and Deadlox standing stock still a few chunks away from me. Sky's expression was at first, one of horror, then it melted away into sympathy. He knew what had happened wasn't my fault. Deadlox on the other hand, looked like he was going to explode. Sky walked forward. "SSundee...you ok?" I looked at the ground. "Depends on what you define as, ok." My voice sounded hoarse from screaming. Ty swallowed his fear with some difficulty and walked past Sky and I, making towards the tree. I kept my eyes on the ground as he examined the man's arm. There were some sort of markings carved into his wrist. They were words. And I knew what they said. I remembered writing them. "Are you afraid to die?..." Deadlox whispered. Sky put a reassuring hand on my shoulder. "What do you remember?" I looked up at him in fear. "Too much."

Sky's POV

I won't deny it, I was terrified. In less than 48 hours Ian had gone from being my best friend, to some sort of...animal. No- I reminded myself- Derp's the animal. I couldn't help but feel fear for SSundee too. The police were trying to arrest him on charges of murder. And in Minecraftia, charges of murder as bad as Ian's led to an execution. I was determined to keep him safe at all costs though... I looked over at Ty. He seemed...scared. I didn't blame him. But that's not what bothered me. What bothered me was that it took a lot to scare Ty. And I should know. SSundee hadn't said anything else and wasn't showing any signs of doing so. Suddenly, I could hear the thunder of hoofbeats in the distance and the faint cries of men. "Run!" SSundee's head snapped up, blue eyes full of fear. Ty started to run. "This way guys!" I grabbed Ian's arm and dragged him along with me. "C'mon Ian! We've gotta run!" He suddenly jerked to a halt and I nearly fell over. I whipped round and stared at him. He'd turned to face the upcoming mob. "SSundee! C'mon!" I hissed. He shook his head despondently, still not facing me. "No Sky. I started this. I have to face what I've done." I looked at him in despair, then nodded slowly. "Well...good luck." Then I took off after Ty, leaving our friend behind.

SSundee's POV

Despite my hostile stance, inside I was quailing in fear. I wasn't sure what I was going to do. The ground shook as the horses drew closer. My bones rattled due to the vibrations in the earth. Suddenly, they appeared. A whole phalanx of policemen on horseback rode towards me. I was glad Sky and Deadlox weren't here though; there was no need for them to suffer for my mistakes. The leader rode up to me and stared down at me, disdain and contempt written across his face. "I take it you're the criminal." I scowled up at him. "I have a name you know." He smirked. "Well, this ones got attitude." He remarked. I felt something stir inside me and forced myself to stay calm. I smiled up at him. "I don't think you realise just who you're dealing with here." He smiled back grimly. "Oh, we do." I cried out as 10 tranquilliser arrows slammed into my back. I fell to the ground as my vision faded away. "Screw...you..." I just managed to say before I blacked out.

Sky's POV

I watched as the man rode up to SSundee. They exchanged a few words, then a few more men notched arrows and fired. They hit SSundee in the back. I heard Ty gasp in horror as our friend fell; I had to hold him back. We watched as they tied his hands together with rope as a few others scouted the area where we'd found him earlier. I still shuddered whenever I thought of the mangled limbs scattered around Ian; the man hanging from the tree, his glassy eyes wide open still- unseeing. My eyes widened as they brought out a metal cage. Ty ground his teeth in anger. I stared at him. "Th-They wouldn't!...would they?" Ty narrowed his eyes and glared at the policemen. "Watch them then." I didn't. I averted my eyes as they caged our best friend; like he was some sort of animal. Eventually the sound of retreating hoofbeats grew fainter and fainter, till they disappeared altogether. I turned to Ty. "We've got to save him." Ty stared at me like I was mad. "Duh!" I shook my head and smiled slightly. "So, you in?" Ty smirked. "What? You think after seeing all this I'd say no? Of course I am!" To emphasise on this point he punched me on the arm. "Owwww." I said, rubbing it. He snorted and stood up, leading the way out of the shelter of the trees. I followed him and together we stood; facing the abundance of hoof marks the policemen had kindly left behind as a path for us to follow. I looked at Ty; he looked at me. I gave a slight nod. He winked at me, then began to run along the path. I smiled. That's the thing with Ty, we've known eachother for so long, we can just read each other's every look. Then my thoughts drifted back to Ian and my eyes hardened in determination. "Don't worry Ian, we've got your back." I whispered, before setting off after Ty...
