The day after the party I woke up and Ashley was gone. I saw a note that said she went home and was gonna try and meet back with me later. That gave me time to do what I needed.
I decided I was still gonna have a suit kinda look so I threw on my sports jacket, a red button up shirt that was unbutton at the top, my jeans and my Vans. I took a shower before that and gelled up my hair and grabbed the thing for my armor and I was off.
I checked the streets for Connor and eventually found him. He was at the forge and had finished making a new set of armor and sharpening his sword. The armor was platinum with black iron. It looked like Paladin armor but had a closed helmet. He turned around and saw me.
"Hey Connor. I need you to show me where New Italy is." I said. "I figured we need some allies."
"Smart plan." He said.
"Oh and Connor?" I said. "Mind doing me a favor?"
"Besides this one?" He said. "Sure.
"This is Voidium." I said as I pulled some of the metal out of my pocket. "I need you real quick to make me a medallion out of this."
"Sure. Any design you want?"
"Like a little emblem or whatever on it?"
"Yeah."
"Sure. Double sided though. One side can you put a Hawk in midair and the other a.." I said before I realized something. I had my medallion from the real world! I had it on when I was sucked into Minecraft! I pushed the button on my armor and as soon as it was done I willed the shadows to bring me the medallion. I handed it to Connor. "Actually just reinforce this with the Voidium."
"You got it." He said.
About thirty minutes later he finished because the forges were a little held up and in that time I had gotten my armor off and back to how it was. I slipped it on and we started out.
We travelled all day until we finally got to a mountain. It was turning dark and Connor led me to a giant tree that was about as think around as a house and tall as a sequoia. Connor ran his hand along the bark until his hand pressed in and a area opened up that was the shape of a door.
"Wow. Batman much?" I said.
"A little." He said laughing. "Come inside."
The tree was hollowed out into a extravagant looking house area that had stairs leading to other levels of the tree. He lead me to a room with a room and said that this was the room Id be in.
"Thanks." I said. "See you tomorrow."
He walked out and I remember the medallion around my neck. I decided to, as much as this takes energy out of me, open a black hole that'll take me to Ashley's real quick. I opened it and walked through and was in her bedroom while she was watching a movie.
She screamed and fell out of her chair she was in. "CALEB!!" She yelled.
"Sorry I just wanted to tell you Id be gone for a few days. On a mission with Connor which is why I wasn't at my house earlier." I said.
"Your on a mission with no one but Connor?" She said. "Ok fine just don't get killed."
"I won't. Love ya." I said before I opened another black hole and was back at the tree house.
I went to bed and fell asleep almost instantly. I woke up early and went to go eat. I figured Connor was still asleep so I figured I'd make breakfast.
I was right. I decided to make a quick breakfast with the eggs and pork he had. He walked down and I was already done eating.
"Bout time." I said. "Let's eat and move out."
"Sir yes sir." He said laughing.
"I'm not a leader." I said.
"You are for us whether you like it or not." He said.
"Just hurry up." I said.
He finished and again we were off. He brought a little something he had Charles make him which a case that folds into a four wheeler. He took that and I flew. Within hours we made it to the kingdom.
It wasn't as large as ours but it still was extravagant. This one looked medieval unlike ours which looked Roman. We set down behind the tree line so they wouldn't see me flying. Connor put his armor on and him and I walked to the gates.
We made it to the gates and were met by armed guards. "What do you want?" The guard on the left said.
"Oh us? Im going to speak to your leaders." I said casually.
"Are you now?" The guard said.
"Yes now if you two gentleman wouldn't mind moving.." I said before one had a sword at my throat. Connor grabbed his sword.
"Now listen here. I don't like people who have no weapons and act all high and mighty like they are stronger than others." The guard said.
"Well you see the thing is.." I said before I waved my hand and had the shadows take his and the others swords. "I am stronger than you. I have this look to negotiate peacefully. Now will you let me aside or do you want to see what else I can do?"
The guards paled. "Who are you?" The one asked.
"Oh no one important. Just the most powerful person in the world besides Ethos." I said casually. "Now to meet your leaders. Take me to them."
"Right this way." They said as they lead me and Connor through the city. We finally reached a castle, a giant castle made of gold and stone, and they led us into the main room that had the leaders.
"Everyone you have someone who would like to speak to you." The guards said.
"Excellent." I said. I turned to the guards. "You may go now."
They shifted uneasily and walked out. I turned around to see all the other leaders. Time to get serious.
"Good afternoon ladies and gentleman." I said.
"Who are you?" A tall, tan man with a Italian accent asked.
"All questions will be answered by the end of the negotiation." I said simply.
"Ha your negotiating with us?" The same man said. "Your a guy in a suit with no weapons with only your buddy over there versus a city full of people with weapons and your going to have the balls to come in here and act like your the boss?"
"Apparently I've struck a nerve." I said. "And oh I'm much more capable than your finest fighters. Actually to think of it none of you would stand a chance really against me. So I came here to negotiate now if you could calm down and let me get to what I came for Id appreciate it."
"Why you little punk." The man said as he started to get up.
"Cool it Nico." A man in a crown said. He was at the head of the table. He was a tall and built man with black hair and blue eyes.
I turned to him now. "I'm assuming your leader?"
"Yes I am the leader." He said. "I am Augustus."
"So it'll be you I discuss this with mostly." I said. "Let's get to business. I am the leader of a city that's about three times your cities size, has stronger warriors and advanced tech. Now my city has five highly powerful people that could take any of you down without a sweat."
"I don't believe him." Nico said.
"Nico your really wanting me to hit you right now aren't you?" I said. "Why don't you sit back and wait till I'm finished? Everyone else is."
"That's it I'm about to put you in your place." Nico said as he got up and unsheathed a sword.
"Oh yes please do try." I said. "You won't get very far."
He put the blade to my throat. "Won't I?" He said. "Now I don't know what makes you think you have the right.." That was all he said before I punched him in the stomach, grabbed his arm that was free and twisted it behind his back and had him pinned.
"I have the right cause I'm a supercharged warrior destined to defeat Erebus and a army of Titans." I said. I grabbed his sword and everyone at the meeting got up with they're weapons out. "Easy I'm giving it back to him." I picked him up and gave him back the sword. "Now can I finish?"
"Go ahead." Augustus said.
"Anyways no I don't come seeking to take over your kingdom. Quite the contrary." I said. "I want to become allies. In case my kingdom needs help you'll help us and vice versa. Now we also will supply you guys with some tech so you can better equip yourselves."
"I don't know." Augustus said. "I don't think the others like you all that much. Nor trust you."
"I trust him." Nico said. Everyone looked surprised from this. "The guy seems to be speaking the truth. I say we do it."
"Anyone else want to say anything?" Augustus said. No one said anything. "Ok than you have a deal Mr. Um.. What's your name?"
"I'm the Void Spartan to my enemies. However we are not enemies so you can call me Boomer." I said.
"Why VoidSpartan?" Augustus asked.
"Cause I control the darkness and void." I said. "And I fight like a Spartan. Anyways I'm sorry for seeming a bit high and mighty earlier. I just figured it look good for business. Ask Connor over here I'm actually a cool and fun guy"
"He is." Connor said.
"Ok well we must be off." I said. I hit the button and my armor constructed around me. I summoned my helmet and weapons from the shadows and willed my wings to appear. "Oh yeah like I said about the whole darkness and void thing. I command shadows to do whatever I want. I can also open black holes to travel by."
They all just stared at me. "Actually Connor I don't feel like the whole trip home." I said. "I'll have the shadows bring your four wheeler back to your house. Let's just use the black hole."
"Ok. Let's go." He said.
I opened the black hole. "Anyways I'll see you all later. Bye." Last thing I saw was them all staring at me in disbelief before I was in my house. Connor stepped behind me.
"Well that went well." He said. "On that note I'll see you later."
"See ya man. Take care." I said. He left and I decided it was time for me to go to bed. Tomorrow be a long day and I needed sleep.
On the bright side we now had allies. We had a better chance at a tomorrow.
