Chapter 11

The battle

As quietly as they could, they marched into the Nether Fortress. The halls were fairly empty, for the dusty netherrack had not been in use for quite sometime. But just when they thought they were clear, a group of Zombie Pigmen charged them. Her crew easily took them out, and threw them over the edge of the Fortress.

They marched forward until the main room was in view. No, room was an understatement. This was a coliseum. Lava fountain poured out of the second floor, which has lined with netherbrick fences. A huge, red marble throne was placed in the middle of the room. It was well kept, and hardly needed cleaning. Not for long though. It was about to get bloody.

Misty stood in the front of the army and drew her sword out of it's holder. Everyone else drew their swords, and looked at Vent for further commands.

"Army, we shall wait for them to come to us!", Vent wisper-screamed. The crowd silently cheered. For the firth time in a long time, Misty had a feeling of determination and a sense of control. She felt stronger; she could do anything.

A deathly squeal echoed throughout the palace. They all froze. Misty drew her bow and aimed it toward here the sound was coming from. "Show yourself", was what Misty heard herself say. The pigman poked it's head out from a hall at the far end of the room. Misty drew the bowstring back. As soon as the pigman's chest cane into view, she let the arrow fly. It landed squarely between his eyes. He crossed his eyes, and passed out onto the floor.

Another squeal came from another end of the room. Everyone switched their swords for a bow, and were now ready to fire on command. A group of seven pigmen charged at them, golden swords drawn. The army ran forward. At that exact moment, a group of 60 pigmen also charged at them. Misty jumped forward, and took the first three pigmen down with her bow. Vent was busy playing cat & mouse with another two, and Steve was nowhere to be seen. Dale and Lucas, two soldiers, were busy as well, as was everyone else.

They were a piece of cake. The Ender Army took down all of the pigmen without anyone being killed. Few soldiers were hurt, and the ones who were just bleeding slightly and were getting banged up. Her blood ran cold though as she heard another scream. But it wasn't a mob's scream.

It was Ender's.
