Born A Soldier (Reader X Herobrine)

Chapter Eight

     Minutes pass like hours as you stand, bored, and just watch as your "team" leaves you completely out of the mission. Well, at least you won't be held responsible if the mission totally fails and everyone is teeted out of the village by the iron golem, which you kind of wish to see.

     Taking you out of your thoughts, you hear rustling nearby... It's them. Purple Team. A tiny smile rises on your face. What are they up to?.. You watch as the dark grey feet of the wither skeletons rush past, through the forest. Silently, you creep around the tree you were leaning against, and pull out your bow and nearly a stack of arrows. With that same silence, you begin your hunt.

K'THONK!

     The iron golem rattled ferociously as it braced for impact. That impact came with a heavy toed enderwoman slamming an iron cladded boot into it's shoulder. Her punches may have been strong -- like any enderman -- but a kick aided in iron protection.. now THAT was a weapon!

     "I got it! I got it!" Billy/the overweight zombie, panted to the others as he passed, holding the very valuable poppy in his enlarged hands. The iron golem spotted the red flower immediately, and glared a death glare at him, before springing up, leaving Skull the skeleton and Mandie the enderwoman to chase after it. "Aaaaaiiiiiii!!!" Billy squealed when he saw the iron beast, followed by quaking floor that followed with it's footsteps.

     "Hold on, Billy!" Mandie screached desperately, pulling out her sword. On instinct, she teleported closer to the iron golem, only to punch it with an open fist, making her bones shiver on impact. "Ow!" She quickly pulled away, running back for her sword.

     Not having been stopped yet, the iron golem easily caught up with Billy, taking no time between running and swinging it's massive arm his way. Billy ducked just in time, having a hard time keeping up the pace and almost collapsing with the duck(not the animal). Right as the iron golem was about to swing again, this time with more accuracy, a small throwing knife flung from further away, stabbing the iron golem directly in the eye socket. The metallic beast screeched deeply, flailing it's arms furiously before pulling the little knife. Since it was an iron golem and not some sort of biological creation, the eye still worked just fine, though a little cracked. Furiously, the golem looked left and right for whoever could have thrown that little blade. It's eyes finally landed on Skull, the taller skeleton with dozens of throwing knives strapped around each of his ribs. Skull stared back, wide eyed, and bolted off as soon as the golem charged forwards, allowing Billy to run away safely. Once the tension was no longer around the overweight zombie, everyone's worries turned to Skull, who wasn't able to throw knives and run away at the same time. The large beast finally caught up with it's target, the thing smacked Skull, sending him flying across the village, crashing only into a lantern in the way. That lantern just so happened to land right next to a massive hay stack; a spark catching the precious wheat on fire, but thankfully not touching any of the houses.

     "SKULL!!!" Bart, the unaveragely small skeleton, trembled, running for his closest friend here with desperate speed. The iron golem was not yet finished, as it still saw the limp skeleton on the floor moving slightly. Be that in great pain, but still alive nonetheless. Mandie was the only one who was able to make it in time to protect Skull, because the three little pigs hadn't even noticed the commotion yet, which was a bit strange since they have amazing hearing. Mandie just managed to catch the iron golem's arm as it was about to crash down on Skull, just barely able to keep the weight of it up.

     "Hh- hurry, Bart!!" She shouted over her shoulder. Bart ran as fast as he could over to Skull and wrapped his thin bone-arms around his friend, trying to lift him up and drag him away. This was almost impossible, however, because Bart was both very small and very weak. He was only able to drag him a few pixels away before falling onto his bum, exhausted.
