Chapter 23 - Purple Antlers
^ Happy Spooky Month Everyone!
Cyrus POV
I fell down hard against a blocky surface. I groaned a bit at the sudden pain. But my expression changed into fear at what I saw.
We were not on solid ground. But we were all in small floating islands with a void beneath us.
I saw the fear in everyone else. Our islands were barely enough to hold our size.
But nearby, there was a larger piece of land. It was in the middle of all of us. And Blu was standing there.
I was about to call out to her when I heard a scream. We all look in Cydnee's direction.
She only moved her foot a bit but it caused about half of her island to break and fall to the void. Cydnee looked at us in fright.
"How are we going to get out of here?" Z4 asked. "Whatever you do, limit your movement. Or else the island might collapse." Wesley called to all of us.
I look at Blu's larger floating island. But she was busy with something. "Blu! What the heck are you doing? Help us here!" I yell at her.
Blu looks at me with cold eyes. I saw why. In her hands, were the remains of the Portal Opener.
"You broke it." Blu looked at all of us. "You broke the only way I could go home."
"Home? What do you mean?" Blake asked. But then we heard another scream. It came from Wesley. His island was slowly collapsing.
"Blu, we can talk about this later." I glare at Blu. "Just get us out of here first." But Blu looked at her Portal Opener.
"It was my only way to go home. The only way to get back to my world!!" She cried out. What?
"Your world-" But before I could finish, I felt the floor beneath me start to crumble.
I felt my foot slip off as I tried to stand. I almost fell into the bottomless pit below me. Blu looked at me. Her cold eyes changing to slightly worried ones.
"Blu, drop the act. We can scold you and you can scold us after this whole incident." Cruise said desperately.
Suddenly, a wind blew. Blu held her hood. She looked at all of us. She looked at her broken device and sighed.
"You did find out after all." Blu said. "What?" I asked. But Blu answered my question.
She dropped her hands to her side and let the wind blow off her hood. Everyone gasped as we finally found out what she was hiding.
Blu wore a goldish yellow headband against her light pink hair. But what surprised us were 2 purple antlers on her head.
"Blu, when we get out of here, I have a ton of questions." I said. Blu sighed. "Yeah, I know. But lets get you guys out first." She told me.
Her purple antlers began to glow. She faced Blake first. Blake was suddenly surrounded by a light purple mist as he was lifted of his island and on Blu's.
Blu then faced Vin and did the same. She did it to everyone. Until finally, Blu faced me.
But at that moment, I felt my island break completely. Uh oh. At that moment, I started falling to the void.
"CYRUS!" I heard Cydnee cry. But Blu pushed her aside. I felt myself start to float as Blu's magic surrounded me.
With all her strength, Blu pulled me to the mainland. That was hecking close. "Thanks." I told Blu. She nodded.
"Anytime. Now, we should get going." Blu said as she held the fragments of her Portal Opener. "Can it be fixed?" Cruise asked.
Blu nodded. She held one of her antlers. She snapped a piece off. It looked painful since Blu was hesitating to do it.
Blu inserted the antler piece in a slot where the power source was supposed to be. Once she did, the parts automatically attached together.
"Good as new." Blu said as she switched on the Portal Opener. "Take us back to Cyrus' house."
A portal appeared behind her. It was not glitchy or had a strong pull. In fact, it didn't pull anyone towards it.
Blu looked at us. "Get in. It'll close soon." She told us. We did as she said and jumped through the portal.
I was the last to jump in. I locked eyes with Blu first. "You will explain everything to us. And I mean, everything." I said.
Blu looked at me emotionlessly. Her face darkened like how we fought in a singing battle before. "Just get in." She ordered.
I obeyed and jumped in. Blu followed shortly. We arrived back at my room. The same place, the same time.
I look at Blu as she makes the portal disappear. I tapped my foot impatiently. When the portal disappeared, Blu looked at all of us.
"Heh, so where do I begin?" She fake smiled.
Meanwhile, in another world...
??? POV
"ALL PILLAGERS FALL BACK! VINDICATORS DEFEND!" I shouted to the Illager army. But even with all our strength, I knew we stood no chance against Herobrine.
Then, I heard a roar. "ALL ILLAGERS MAKE WAY FOR ZOEY!" I called out to everyone to warn them of the mutant zombie.
The roar got louder as Zoey jumped out of the bushes in her mutant form:
She started slashing at the enemy mobs. She fought fiercely and bravely. It gave us enough time to retreat.
The Witches threw potions of strength at Zoey. This allowed her to go on full power.
When every Illager has safely retreated, I whistled to the zombie. Zoey looked at me. "Time to go." I told her.
Zoey nodded and finished strangling a Skeleton with her tail. She then ran alongside me as we went to the rest of the army.
We stayed in one of the last Pillager Outposts standing. But now, we needed to leave. Herobrine's army is tracking us down.
The Pillagers finished taking all the equipment, armour, and weapons they needed. We also herded the Ravagers.
When all was almost done, I proceeded to go back to the army. But I felt a tug on my robe. I look to see Zoey looking at me with sad eyes.
"When is Blu coming back?" She asked sadly. I sighed. I held the little zombie in my hands.
"I don't know, Zoey. All we can do now is hope." I replied.
