The Tipping Of The Scales

The Tipping of the Scales - The World At War

Jordan's POV

Let the purge commence!

I sighed. I really didn't like this time of the week. No matter what rules the gods decided on, the war always raged. At least it was only once a week now. But even those who agreed to the rules and upheld them, still took every advantage they could to break them. Like Tucker's 'accidental' enderpearl into my vault where he had the oppurtunity to steal most of my good stuff. They all call me salty over it but whenever it happens to them they get so mad about it. I began sorting through my stuff, realising that I may want to hide the most valuable stuff because every purge my stuff goes anyway, especially if Tom's involved. The theme of todays purge was traditional, an all out using any gear you want so naturally Tom's going to be using his Dianite armor... Ugh.

Thankfully I had the poison potions on me and speed potions to escape from such battles but I only really had one more trick up my sleeve and that was the promise I had made with Tom. He would get his invisibility potions and I would defend him in his next trial if he carried out one command for me during the Purge (within reason). However I wasn't sure what was going on. Because Tucker wasn't the most trustworthy type anymore and no-one knew what side Sonja would be on. This 'Shadow' creature that claimed that one of us would switch sides was odd. I knew it couldn't be me, because Ianite had not recovered enough to come and speak with me, Tom was Dianite and always would be. That left NadeShot, Modestep, Tucker and Sonja. Surprisingly nothing much had happened recently, apart from the courthouse trials which always were recieved with skeptism and doubt in my chat. However my reasoning was solid everyone knew that but Tom's fans really hated me and I never understood why. I guess they just like chaos.

I logged into Team Speak and logged into the chat room that Tom, Sonja and Tucker were in and began the conversation.

"Hey guys!"

I was greeted by everyone with enthusiam and they welcomed me to the purge. We began to talk casually about what I had missed whilst I was offline the day before.

T - Tom (Syndicate)

J - Jordan (Sparklez)

Tu - Tucker (Jericho)

S - Sonja (FireFox)

T - Heyo Sparkleypants! Welcome to the purge >:)

Tu - You still salty about the other day?

S - You didn't miss much Jordan, how are you?

J - Yes I'm salty, I really hope this purge goes better than last time and I'm good Sonja, thanks for asking :D

Tu - You all prepped for the purge Jordan?

T - You ready to die under the blade of Dianite >:)

S - I'm really tempted to just hide underground somewhere for the whole of the Purge getting diamonds.

T - The only real thing you missed is me almost dying a lot and losing all my stuff including like 60 diamonds O_O.

I laughed and muted myself before sneaking over to the priests how and jumped into the nether. I pulled out my efficiency 4 pick-axe and began to mine as much quartz as I could, constantly checking behind me for particles and name tags in case they had figured out where I was. All of a sudden Tom spoke in the main chat:

Come on Team Speak.

As I was about to click unmute, I saw a floating pick-axe in the distance heading in my direction at a rapid pace. Quickly taking off my armor and splashing an invis potion on myself I enderpearled towards the nether portal, entering it and running back to my house and entering into my vault immediately and locking it behind me before unmuting myself. All I could hear was confusion and the same question spoken by all three of them.
