Minecraft Short Stories

Did you just say a team?(Part 1)

  I know it has been a while since I really updated a real story here, and this chapter literally took me loads of time to write since I have other things to do and I occasionally get lost on how I wanted the story to go. This is requested by CyrillDann123XD, (sorry it took so long) hope you all enjoyed it and its following parts.

  "So, uh, what exactly are we doing here?" Jason asked. He had travelled a long way from home to the Budder Kingdom, and he would like to get some answers. There were eight kids, about his age in the room, all boys. One had his brown hair tied up in a ponytail, with a pair of sunglasses on, and a strange purple amulet hanging from his neck, glowing slightly. There was another boy, also with a pair of sunglasses, shifting uncomfortably and seemed to be wincing a lot, his face scrunched up in concentration, Jason wasn't sure why exactly. He saw a boy in a red checkered hoodie, his eyes a reddish brown colour, a fancy looking bow strapped to his back, but his expression was guarded, scanning the people around the room like a predator assessing his prey.

  "Right," Notch, who was at the head of the table, spoke up," I know you might not know why you have come here in the first place, but I assure you, this is not a prank, and you are here for a reason."

  "And for what reason exactly?" Checkered hoodie asked, he had travelled far from where had lived, leaving his parents behind. He didn't want to get called there for nothing, especially when it was being with a bunch of strangers.

  "A team," Notch said, "assuming you all know what happened to the Budder Kingdom-"

  A kid with green headphones raised his hand, as Notch paused abruptly,"Yes, Tyler?"

  "Uh, Mr. Almighty, what happened with the Budder Kingdom? And sir, please call me Ty." The kid asked.

  "The Budder Kingdom was attacked, and its king and queen were...indisposed," Notch said," this kingdom faces a threat larger than ever. The squids. If there isn't someone to stop them, to lead the people of the Budder Kingdom, the kingdom will fall." He cast a long look at the prince, who was twiddling his thumbs, staring at him expectantly. Sure, Notch was the god after all.

  "Notch," Jason asked," Aren't you the god of Minecraftia? Can't you just snap your fingers and smite those squids?"

  "No will do, child," Notch said,"I cannot intervene directly in such affairs. I cannot afford to wipe out an entire race."

  "What about half the race?" A kid in purple robes asked.

  Notch looked at the descendant of Seth that he was sure he hadn't chosen wrong, but who, curiously, didn't inherit any of his ancestor's powers,"Tell me, sorceror, do I look like Thanos to you?"

  The so called sorceror flinched at the mention of the sorceror title, but then quickly frowned,"Who the Nether is Thanos?"

  Notch inwardly facepalmed, kids in Minecraftia these days never heard of Thanos?"Nobody. But there is the idea, that we create a team."

  The kid with sunglasses that was acting fidgety spewed the soda that he was drinking at the time,"What?"

  "Team?" The another guy with sunglasses, the heir to the throne, asked, his voice slightly hoarse," How are we going to fight the squids with just a team?"

  Notch only smiled faintly," You have no idea why the eight of you are chosen, do you not?"

  "No,"They said in unison, then looked at each other, exchanging different looks. Some calculating, some with mistrust, and others with bewilderness.
