Narrator's Point of View

Sector 30

"What if that broadcast didn't work? What if nobody saw it?" Crystal asked.

"Then they better find other ways to kill the giants," Claire answered.

"Theoretically, if they had enough firepower, they could just blow up the giant," Seto said, who was casually lying on the giant's head with them. "But that's unlikely. Stabbing its eyes is the best way to go."

"Well, they won't know to stab the eyes unless they saw our broadcast, which we don't even know worked," Crystal pointed out.

"Yo, I just saw these two girls on TV," said Mitch, who had just climbed up to the head. "They said to stab the eyes. I think we should do that."

"Mitch, we've been trying to do that the whole time," Seto replied with a sigh.

"What? Biggums!" Mitch yelled below him. Hysterical laughter was heard from Jerome.

"He told me to tell you that," Mitch murmured. "Well anyway, we should--"

The giant suddenly shuddered, causing Mitch to fall off the head, and the girls and Seto to slide towards the edge.

They tried to grab hold of something, but there was nothing. Claire, Crystal, and Seto fell off the head.

As Claire was falling, she threw her iron dagger.

It hit the giant in the last remaining white eye.

The Zombie roared, and started to tip over backwards.

So they killed the giant, that was good. But the girls were still falling from a hundred block height.

Crystal was screaming. Claire closed her eyes, ready to die for the Resistance.

But then, something caught her in midair. Claire opened her eyes to see Crystal still screaming, and Captain Sparklez with his arms around the two girls, swinging from a grappling hook.

Crystal stopped screaming when she realized they were alive.

Sparklez landed on the ground and let go of the girls. He then walked away without another word.

The giant hit the ground face-up, causing a massive boom and the ground to ripple a little.

"Well. We saved Sector 30," Claire said.

"And we informed the Resistance of the giants' weakness," Crystal added.

"Let's just hope everyone saw it," Claire murmured.

"Come on. If they did see it, we need to meet up with the rest of the Resistance in Mojang Park," Crystal said.

Sector 31

"Ight, I don't think stabbing its foot is doing anything," K.G said after the hundredth time stabbing the giant Zombie's foot.

"I told you," Tre muttered.

"What if we--"

"Members of the Resistance!" came a familiar female voice from nearby. "We know the weakness of the giants!"

"Who said that?" Tre asked.

"Over there!" K.G answered, pointing at a store window that had several television screens. Claire and Crystal were on all of them. It looked like they were very high up.

"If you stab both of its eyes, the giant will die!" Crystal yelled. "Jeb says so, and he defeated them in the Great War!"

"Use any means necessary to get to the giant's eyes!" Claire shouted. "Be safe, guys! Be--"

The footage turned to static. Tre and K.G looked at each other, then up at the giant.

"How are we gonna get to its eyes?" K.G asked.

"We don't have to. We can shoot them," Tre answered.

"With what?" K.G asked again. "Neither of us brought a bow."

Tre sighed. Then, his face lit up. "We can ask the police to borrow some guns!"

"Great idea! Let's go!" K.G exclaimed.

***

"What do you mean, 'no'?!" Tre exclaimed.

"I mean no," Russel said firmly. "I will not allow two children to take assault rifles into the streets!"

"I knew it was because we're black," K.G muttered.

"We need to kill the giant!" Tre yelled. "This is the only way to do that!"

"No," Russel stated.

Tre sighed. "Stupid corrupt police," he said under his breath. "Come on, K.G."

They walked away.

"Now what are we gonna do?" K.G asked.

"I don't know," Tre replied, shaking his head.

A few blocks away from Russel and the rest of the police, the Resistance members heard something coming from an alleyway.

"Psst."

K.G looked the other direction, confused. Tre saw someone hiding in the alley. He recognized the person.

Tre grabbed K.G and entered the alleyway.

Zachary, the police officer who saved them from Russel earlier, stood there.

"I heard you need a rifle," he said.

"Who's this?" K.G asked.

"It's my boy Zach!" Tre exclaimed. "How've you been, dawg?"

"I got fired," Zach responded with a shrug, which explained why he wasn't wearing a uniform.

"What?! You were the only one there who wasn't corrupt!" Tre said in disbelief.

"Exactly," Zach replied. "Anyway, I still have my rifle. You can use it to kill the giant." He held out a sleek black gun.

Tre took it and grinned. "Thanks, man. You're a lifesaver. Again."

"No problem," Zach said. "Go save the city."

***

Tre and K.G were on the top of a tall building. The giant Zombie was lumbering towards it, about fifty blocks away.

"Why do you get to shoot it?" K.G pouted.

"Because I'm older," Tre replied, aiming the gun at the Zombie.

"No fair," K.G muttered.

Tre fired the rifle, and stream of bullets went into the giant's left eye. It roared in pain as the red eye turned black.

"Can I do the other one?"

"No."

"But--"

Tre fired the rifle again, laughing as he did so. The bullets went into the giant's right eye, turning it black as well. The Zombie roared one more time, then fell over backwards. It hit the ground with a huge boom, causing the ground to ripple a little.

"Mission accomplished." Tre held out his fist for a fist bump. K.G sadly bumped it.

"What should we do with the gun?" K.G asked.

Tre threw it off the building. "We don't need it. Come on. Let's meet the rest of the Resistance in Mojang Park."

Sector 32

Mimi and Drew started to run towards the giant. Diamond had gone ahead of them, and was currently slicing at its legs.

"Okay, so you're gonna run into the giant's foot, but you're not letting it step on you," Drew said.

"Right. Then Bomby wil--Bomby?" Mimi looked around. The baby Creeper had disappeared.

"I thought you said he follows you everywhere!" Drew exclaimed.

"He did!" Mimi replied. She scanned the buildings nearby. "How could he have just..." She trailed off as her eyes fell on a building labeled "Gunpowder Storage Unit".

"Oh, no." Mimi sprinted into the building, ignoring the "DANGER", "EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE", "EXPLOSIVES", and "KEEP OUT" signs.

"Mimi?!" Drew called, but she didn't turn around. She entered the building.

Inside, it was very dark. There were rows and rows of barrels, all presumably containing gunpowder. If one thing exploded in here, like a Baby Creeper, the entire building would blow up.

Mimi ran perpendicular to the rows of barrels, glancing down each one. She prayed she wouldn't find her pet Creeper in there.

Sure enough, though, Bomby was in the middle of one of the rows of barrels. He had tipped one over and somehow broken into it, and was...eating the gunpowder?

"Bomby!" Mimi exclaimed. The baby Creeper didn't look up. He continued to bend down and pick gunpowder up with his mouth, then swallow it. Every time he swallowed, he flashed white, causing Mimi to flinch.

"Stop that!" Mimi called. She started to run towards him, but tripped on nothing and fell to the floor. "Ow!"

Bomby looked over at Mimi. He started to walk towards her.

"Oh. Oh, no. Bomby, I'm not hurt! Nothing hurt me! Please don't blow up!"

Bomby started to flash white as he walked towards her. He was getting closer now.

"No! Bomby, no! Stop! Don't explode! Bomby!"

The baby Creeper stopped in front of Mimi. He flashed white one more time, than stopped.

Everything was still.

Mimi sighed in relief. She reached out and picked Bomby up. He hissed happily.

"You scared the Nether out of me, Bomby," Mimi said as she walked out of the building.

The giant was just passing by. It was the perfect opportunity.

Mimi set Bomby down, ran up to the giant's foot, and jumped at it. She hit it, and fell to the ground. "Ouch!" she exclaimed dramatically.

Bomby immediately started flashing white and walking towards the giant. Mimi grinned, but it faded as she realized Bomby seemed to be flashing more intensely than earlier. Like he had grown more powerful.

Mimi realized something.

The gunpowder made him stronger.

Mimi knew Bomby's explosions were really strong before. But how strong were they now?

She got up and ran away from the giant as Bomby got closer to it. She did not want to get caught in that explosion.

Mimi's eyes widened as she realized Diamond was still at the giant's other leg, attacking it with his enchanted diamond sword. He would probably blow up with Bomby.

Luckily, Drew saved the day. He sprinted in and tackled Diamond into a nearby building, crashing through the glass window.

Bomby exploded, and Mimi was right. The explosion was huge.

Huge enough to cause the entire giant to fall over. It roared as it started to fall on its back.

Towards Mimi.

She dove out of the way as the giant Zombie hit the ground with a huge boom and a small earthquake.

Bomby hissed happily and walked over to Mimi. He hopped into her arms.

"Good boy," she praised him.

Diamond and Drew walked over to her.

"How did he do that?" Diamond asked.

Mimi shrugged. "I don't know, but I'm keeping him."

"Come on, guys," Drew said. "We need to meet up with the rest of the Resistance in Mojang Park."

Sector 25

"Okay, seriously, if you guys don't leave, that giant is going to step on you all!" Chick yelled at the handful of citizens nearby, who were still angrily throwing things at the three Resistance members.

"That giant only needs to take four more steps before it's on top of us," Pete added, ducking as an apple was chucked at him.

"Do you people not see the giant angry Zombie?!" Grand yelled in disbelief, dodging a stone shovel.

The giant took another step. Three more and it would kill them all.

"You Resistance scum starved our children!" an angry woman yelled. A man near her threw an entire television at them.

It crashed to the ground near Chick, but didn't break. In fact, it turned on.

Claire and Crystal stood somewhere very high up. They seemed like they were in a hurry.

"Members of the Resistance!" Claire exclaimed. "We know the weakness of the giants!"

"If you stab both of its eyes, the giant will die!" Crystal yelled. "Jeb says so, and he defeated them in the Great War!"

"Use any means necessary to get to the giant's eyes!" Claire shouted. "Be safe, guys! Be--"

The video cut out, and the television screen turned black once again.

The giant took another step. Two more until they were all dead. The citizens were still angrily throwing things.

"We have to hit its eyes!" Chick exclaimed.

"How are we supposed to do that?!" Grand asked.

Pete took out his bow and notched an arrow. Chick did the same.

Grand didn't have a long ranged weapon. He just watched his friends shoot two arrows at the giant.

Pete's arrow hit the giant in the left eye. The red pupil turned black, and the giant roared. It took another step. One more step, and they were gone.

Chick's arrow missed, and didn't affect the giant at all.

Both Pete and Chick notched another arrow, but Pete was suddenly tackled by one of the angry citizens. He accidentally let go of the string, shooting the arrow directly at Grand. Grand dove out of the way, narrowly avoiding being shot in the head.

Chick took a deep breath. This shot would determine their fate. Whether they lived or died depended on where the arrow landed.

What if I miss? Chick thought. Then it will be my fault when we all die!

Then she remembered something Jay told her a long time ago, before Herobrine attacked. She had been at the archery range, missing the bullseye every time. Jay had given her good advice.

"Aim a little higher than where you want the arrow to hit."

Chick aimed slightly above the giant's red eye and fired. The arrow sailed through the air, and she held her breath.

The arrow connected with the Zombie's eye, turning it from red to black. It roared one more time, then started to fall backwards, away from the group of citizens.

The giant hit the ground with a huge boom and caused the ground to ripple a little.

"You see that?" Grand yelled at the citizens. "We just saved your lives!"

"You could have saved our lives a year ago by not stealing our food!" a man shouted back.

Chick sighed.

Pete stood up, having disentangled himself from the citizen that had tackled him. "Come on, guys. We need to meet up with the rest of the Resistance in Mojang Park."

Sector 19

"Wasn't Leonardtown that one village where Steve and the others played a game of Spleef last year?" Shaina asked.

"Yeah," Cyril replied. "From what they told us, the Villagers sounded really dumb."

"Well, they're smart enough to create robotic iron golems," Shine said.

The two girls were still on the roof of the building, watching the Villagers and iron golems below charge towards the giant Zombie.

"They're gonna hurt themselves," Cyril stated. "Let's kill this giant before it kills them."

Without waiting for an answer, the pink-haired girl leapt to the head of the giant Zombie, which was passing by their building. Shine followed.

"Got any ideas on how to kill it?" Shine asked.

"Let's just stab its head a bunch," Cyril answered with a shrug. She got out her bow and started shooting arrows into the head below her.

Shine also shrugged, then started stabbing the giant's head with her emerald daggers.

***

"Attack!" Bill shouted to the group of Villagers. They had bandannas wrapped around their foreheads and black paint under their eyes. They yelled a battle cry, then took out their sticks and started hitting the giant's legs with them. They didn't affect it at all.

"Robot Golems! Attack its legs!" Bill ordered.

The six iron golems they had brought started to slap the giant's legs with their powerful arms. However, they also didn't seem to affect it.

"Nothing is working, boss!" one of the Villagers yelled.

"Hmm..." Bill thought for a moment. What could they do to kill a giant Zombie?

Suddenly, a shop window full of televisions came to life. Two girls were on the screen, and they seemed to be very high up.

"Members of the Resistance!" one of them exclaimed. "We know the weakness of the giants!"

"Guys! Shhhh!" Bill said loudly.

"If you stab both of its eyes, the giant will die!" the other girl yelled. "Jeb says so, and he defeated them in the Great War!"

"Use any means necessary to get to the giant's eyes!" the first girl shouted. "Be safe, guys! Be--"

"We have to stab its eyes out!" Bill announced. "Villagers, I have an idea!"

***

"Nothing is working!" Cyril exclaimed. "We can't kill it!"

Shine pulled out a healing potion and splashed it on the giant's head. It seemed to have no effect.

"There's gotta be a way," Shine muttered. She looked over the edge of the giant's head to see something very peculiar.

The Villagers were holding a very long piece of rope. They had tied the ends around themselves, and were holding it across the street.

Right in the giant's path.

The iron golems were standing farther back with their arms up straight. Shine wondered what they were doing.

"Cyril," Shine said.

"What?" Cyril asked, looking up from shooting the giant's head.

"They're gonna trip the giant."

"What?" Cyril looked where Shine was looking. "Oh, no. Is that even gonna work?"

"Who knows?" Shine asked. "But if it does, we need to get off this giant."

There were no rooftops in the immediate vicinity. The nearest one was twenty blocks away, but the giant could bring them closer.

The giant Zombie lurched in the middle of its next step, like its foot had just caught on something. It paused in the air, then started to tip forwards.

Shine and Cyril sprinted across the head of the giant as it fell. When they were at the edge, they leapt.

Both girls landed on the rooftop of the building and rolled. They turned around to watch the Zombie fall.

Its face landed right on the iron golems with their arms outstretched. It looked like their arms went into its red eyes.

As the ground rippled from the impact, the Zombie roared. Then, it was still.

The Villagers cheered and ran to each other. However, they were still wrapped in the rope, and several of them fell down.

"Huh. A bunch of Spleef-playing Villagers just saved this city," Cyril said.

Shine shook her head. "I don't want to think about it. Come on. We need to meet up with the rest of the Resistance in Mojang Park."

***

Sector 18

Matster shot yet another arrow at the giant. He and Hero were over a hundred blocks away from it, and it didn't seem like his arrows were affecting it at all.

"What are we gonna do, Matster?" Hero asked. She was standing close to him.

"I don't know. There's gotta be a weakness to this thing," Matster replied.

"Maybe you have to hit it in a certain spot. Just keep shooting it," Hero suggested.

Matster fired another arrow.

***

Audrey was standing still in the glass cage, feeling fuzzy. She couldn't think anything. Everything was a blur. There were plants around her, and the sound of huge footsteps, but she didn't comprehend. She couldn't comprehend. That sign that said "MIND-NUMBING GAS" meant nothing to her.

The girl took a step forward and almost tripped on her own feet. She didn't know what was happening. Where was she? Who was she? What was she?

Suddenly, she heard a girl's voice. It sounded familiar, although she didn't know why.

"Members of the Resistance!" the voice exclaimed. "We know the weakness of the giants!"

What giants? Audrey wondered. And what is the Resistance?

"If you stab both of its eyes, the giant will die!" a different girl's voice yelled. "Jeb says so, and he defeated them in the Great War!"

Who's Jeb? Audrey thought.

"Use any means necessary to get to the giant's eyes!" the first girl shouted. "Be safe, guys! Be--"

She was cut short by something unknown.

Audrey pondered the information she had just learned. Did it mean anything to her? Not really.

But should it?

Audrey scrunched up her face, trying to think hard. It was very difficult, and she couldn't think of anything.

But then a thought surfaced in the muddled mess that was her brain.

The Resistance.

Audrey leapt to her feet and ran out of the glass cage. At least, she tried to.

She actually hit the glass and fell back to the grassy ground.

Audrey stood up and tried once more. This time, she made it out of the cage. She stumbled a little, then looked around frantically.

A boy and a girl around her age were at the end of the street. The boy had a bow and arrow. Audrey wondered if she knew them.

Matster and Hero.

Audrey jumped and ran towards them. She did know them. They were the Resistance.

"Guys!" Audrey shouted, causing both of them to jump.

"Audrey? I thought we told you to evacuate the citizens," Matster said.

Audrey did not remember that. "I heard...a voice!"

"What?" Matster asked.

"Are you okay, Audrey?" Hero inquired.

"This girl! She told me to...shoot the eyes! Shoot the giant's eyes! The Great War told her to! Jeb...she said shoot the eyes! Jeb is the Great War! The giant! The giant...war...she...Jeb...."

"Audrey, seriously, what are you talking about?" Matster asked.

Audrey blubbered some more incomprehensible words.

"Shoot the giant's eyes, Matster," Hero said.

"What? You're actually gonna listen to her?" Matster asked.

"Yes," Hero replied. "Just try shooting its eyes. For me?"

Matster looked into her eyes for a few seconds. Then, he turned to the giant Zombie and notched an arrow.

"Yaaayyyyyyyy!" Audrey fell to the ground.

Matster fired the arrow, and it turned the giant's red eye black. The Zombie roared in pain as Matster loaded a second arrow.

He glanced at Hero, who smiled encouragingly at him. Then, Matster fired the arrow into the giant's other eye.

The Zombie roared again as its other eye turned black. It fell backwards and hit the ground with a huge boom.

"Weeeee!" Audrey exclaimed giddily as the ground rippled beneath her.

"What do you think happened to her?" Matster asked.

Hero shrugged. "I don't know. She saved the city, though."

"Technically I saved the city," Matster muttered.

Hero smiled and kissed him on the cheek. "You're a hero, Matster."

Matster grinned happily.

"Help me get Audrey up," Hero said. "And come on. We need to meet up with the rest of the Resistance in Mojang Park."

***

Sector 17

Secret threw healing potion after healing potion at the giant Zombie. Zombies were usually harmed by healing potions and healed by harming potions, but no potion seemed to affect it at all.

Pixel was no help. He was still shaking, like he was having terrible flashbacks.

Secret had no idea what would trigger flashbacks for Pixel, but he didn't want to ask. He was busy trying to kill the giant.

It was too bad nothing was working.

Secret ran several blocks away from the giant to think. What would kill a giant Zombie? Maybe a really, really big healing potion. But how would he make one big enough?

If he could find a large enough container, he could try to pour all of his healing potions into it. But there was no guarantee that would work.

Suddenly, Secret heard a loud crashing sound from above. He looked up to see the giant Zombie smashing through a billboard that had hung across the street between two buildings.

And it was falling right towards him.

Secret dove out of the way, but he wasn't quite fast enough. He felt a huge weight fall on his legs, pinning him to the ground. He tried to crawl out, but couldn't. The billboard wouldn't budge, and he couldn't reach his potion belt. He was in a lot of pain.

And the giant was heading straight for him. Only two more steps, and Secret would be flattened.

"Pixel!" Secret shouted. "Help!"

Pixel didn't seem to hear him.

***

~

"Why are you here?" the man on the right asked.

"We came here to get medicine for my mother," Pixel answered before his dad could.

"Not our problem," the middle man said gruffly.

Pixel's dad tensed up again, but Pixel put his hand back on his shoulder.

"Could we look through the place so we can find the recipe for the medicine for my wife?" Pixel's dad asked in a strained voice.

The men looked at each other, and seemed to agree on something without speaking.

"No," the man on the right replied.

"But, if we don't get her this medicine, she'll die," Pixel's father pleaded.

"Again, not our problem," the man in the middle said.

Pixel really wanted to leave before someone got hurt. His father apparently had different ideas.

"If you don't let us find the medicine we need, we will hurt you," his dad threatened.

The men looked at each other.

Then, they laughed.

"Dad..." Pixel trailed off.

"Yeah, you can laugh," his father said. "But my son and I are both highly trained in combat, and could beat all three of you in a battle."

The men laughed again. This time, the man on the right spoke. "You couldn't do anything to us."

"We'll kill all three of you if we have to," Pixel's dad said. He had his bow out, but no arrows loaded.

"Dad." Pixel said. He ignored him.

This was probably gonna end in a fight.

"We would crush you like a bug. As for your puny son over here, he's probably too weak to even hold a sword," the middle man taunted.

Pixel knew that was the moment the middle man crossed the line.

His father shouted and dove at the man in the middle, murder in his eyes.

But he never reached the man.

The man in the middle put his iron sword away as Pixel's dad's body fell to the ground. His bow and quiver landed at Pixel's feet.

And his severed head bounced on the table and rolled to a stop on the ground.

~

Pixel was shaking immensely. That had happened only a few city blocks away.

Another flashback hit him.

~

Pixel attacked the man in a fury. The man brought his sword up before he reached him.

The blade hit Pixel in the face.

Pixel literally flew up and then hit the ground a few blocks away. He thought he was okay, maybe just a little blood.

But then he tried opening his eyes.

He couldn't.

Pixel started freaking out, and he brought his hands up to his face. He felt blood. And then he realized something.

His eyes were open.

Pixel couldn't see. His eyes were open. He couldn't see.

Pixel realized what had happened.

He was blind.

~

Tears were streaming out of Pixel's dysfunctional eyes. He was only a few city blocks from where he had lost his father and his eyesight. He couldn't do anything. He couldn't function.

"Pixel! Help!" a voice shouted from nearby.

That was Secret. His friend needed help.

But how could Pixel help him when he couldn't even help his father?

Suddenly, a girl's voice drifted into Pixel's ears from somewhere nearby.

"Members of the Resistance!" she exclaimed. "We know the weakness of the giants!"

"If you stab both of its eyes, the giant will die!" a different girl's voice yelled. "Jeb says so, and he defeated them in the Great War!"

"Use any means necessary to get to the giant's eyes!" the first girl shouted. "Be safe, guys! Be--"

The sound cut out.

Pixel recognized both girls. They were Crystal and Claire. He wasn't sure how he could hear them, but that didn't matter.

He had to kill the giant.

Pixel took in what was happening around him. Secret was on the ground nearby, stuck under something. The giant was close to Secret, and probably about to step on him.

"I will not lose anyone else in this city," Pixel growled. He pulled out his bow and arrows, which had belonged to his father. He notched an arrow, aimed upwards, and fired.

***

From the ground, still stuck under the billboard, Secret watched Pixel fire an arrow into the giant's left eye. It turned from red to black, and the Zombie roared.

Then Pixel shot a second arrow into the giant's right eye. It also turned black, and the Zombie roared again.

Secret had no idea how the blind guy hit both eyes in one try, but he decided not to ask.

The giant Zombie started to fall backwards, away from Secret. If it had taken one more step forwards, it would have stepped on him. 

Secret watched the giant hit the ground with a huge boom. It caused the ground to ripple a little, but the billboard was still trapping Secret's legs.

Pixel walked over, casually putting his bow away. "Are you alright?" he asked.

"I think this billboard broke some bones in my legs," Secret answered. "I don't think I'll be able to walk."

Pixel found the billboard and shoved it off of Secret. Secret winced as he saw his mangled legs. Pixel, of course, couldn't see them.

"Splash a healing potion on them, will you?" Secret asked. "It won't fix my bones, but it will reduce the pain."

Pixel found Secret's potion belt and immediately splashed a healing potion on Secret's legs. They instantly felt better. Secret wasn't sure how Pixel knew it was a healing potion, but he did.

"We need to get to Mojang Park," Secret said. "Can you car--"

Pixel scooped Secret up in his arms. "Come on. We need to meet up with the rest of the Resistance in Mojang Park."

***

Sector 24

Techno fired the redstone cannon at the giant Zombie again. The blast still did nothing.

"We need to try something else," Brayden said while steering the Shark, looking around for ideas.

Techno sighed and stepped away from the redstone cannon. He then pulled out a large redstone blaster that looked like a bazooka. He aimed and fired it at the giant.

That blast also did nothing. Without a word, Techno put that blaster away and pulled out his redstone pistol.

"How many weapons did you bring?!" Brayden yelled over the wind as he veered left to avoid hitting the giant.

Techno didn't answer, just fired his pistol a few times at the giant. Those blasts, again, did not affect the Zombie.

"We need to try someth..." Brayden trailed off as Techno pulled something else out. It was a tiny block of TNT.

Techno pressed a button on it and threw it at the giant. It hit the giant's back and exploded.

The explosion did not affect the giant.

Techno groaned in frustration. "Something has to work! Fly around it so the giant is facing us."

Brayden did as he was told without a word.

***

NinjaX had jumped from the Shark into the top floor of a building. The building just so happened to be called "Elytra Inc."

X strapped on an elytra and walked over to the window he had broken through. Techno and Brayden were still having trouble killing the giant.

Techno seemed frustrated, as always. Brayden was patient, as always.

X wondered if there was anything he could do to kill the giant.

***

"There's gotta be a way," Techno muttered. "Maybe if we had enough explosives, we could just blow it up."

Brayden looked down at the red button on the control panel of the Shark. "Techno."

Techno looked at him, then saw the red button. "No. If you press that, we'll go almost as fast as light speed, and crash into the giant, and explode, and--"

"Kill the giant," Brayden finished. "But someone needs to stay on the Shark to hold the button down, or it will just stop."

Techno looked into Brayden's eyes and realized what he was thinking.

"No," he said firmly. "I won't let you."

"You can always build another Shark, Techno," Brayden replied.

"But I can't build another Brayden."

They stared into each other's eyes. Brayden realized that Techno actually cared for him, despite everything he said and did.

Brayden smiled at him. Techno smiled back, thinking they had made an agreement to not push the red button.

Then, Brayden punched Techno in the face.

Techno was not expecting that, and stumbled backwards with his hands over his face.

He bumped into the railing of the Shark and fell backwards over it, towards the ground below.

Brayden looked at the giant. The Shark was flying directly towards it.

He pressed the red button.

Tears filled Techno's eyes as he sailed through the air. Not because he was about to die, but because Brayden was.

He watched as the Shark moved super fast towards the giant Zombie and collided with it. It created a huge explosion.

Suddenly, something flew through the air and caught Techno. It was X, his elytra wings outspread.

They glided away from the explosion. Techno couldn't look away as the giant fell backwards. The Shark was nowhere in sight, destroyed from the explosive collision.

The giant hit the ground with a huge boom. It made the ground ripple.

X landed on the ground, far away from the Zombie's body. He set Techno down gently.

"Brayden..." Techno murmured, tears streaming down his face.

X looked sad as well. But, he stayed strong.

"Come on. We need to meet up with the rest of the Resistance in Mojang Park."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thank you, SirWattOfPad, for Brayden. I don't remember why I chose him to be the pilot of the Shark, but he was great as that character and I loved writing him in this story. So ye thanks Stab

Also that chapter was kinda boring but fun at the same time

What will the Resistance find in Mojang Park? How will Techno do without Brayden? And what's going on back at Mojang Offices?

Uhh ye that's all
