Minecraft: a Novel

Chapter 42

It took us all day until deep into the afternoon to get back to HH secret headquarters.
Grace and Lora took Preston around for a tour of the HQ upon arrival and Ben, Jane, and I took Ridge to the infirmery. After a few golden apples, he was ready to walk around with only a small limp.
Jane decided to help him around while Ben and I went into the main office to put some files in before dinner.
"Don't forget that Herobrine was fighting another battle while he talked to us," I added as Ben wrote in a book. "That could either mean that he has other enemies, or he was terrorizing innocent people."
"Would that be the definition of a battle?" Ben asked.
"For him probably."

Soon afterwards we left for the mess hall to eat dinner with the rest of the HH and the new members.
Ridge and Preston both looked happy to be allowed to join Herobrine's Haters. I personally wasn't so excited when I joined, but that was because I had just lost my father. At least he was a good person then. Or I thought he was.
Herobrine probably ruined Ridge and Preston's lives as much as he'd ruined the rest of ours.
Jane told them the normal procedures and things they'd need to know. I had almost forgot that she'd been taking over in a few days.
I munched on a piece of cooked beef and gulped, my hunger now satisfied. I turned to Ben, who was sitting next to me. "So what's for tomorrow?"
"Training probably."
"That's it?" Lora exclaimed, hearing in on the conversation. "Aren't we going to lead a strike force or something? Herobrine's hurting people right now! Just like he did to us!"
"Well we won't be much of a force if we aren't trained enough," Ben reminded her. "We need to train so that we can stop him. And e'll have to do it hardcore.
