Raymond glanced at Sasha and Xavier over his shoulder, limping slightly from the crash and slightly dragging the Diamond Sword he got from the old man on the ground as he walked.

"Where. The heck. Are we?" Asked Xavier.

They seemed to be in some type of Mesa Biome. In the middle of a canyon. Or, in other words, in the middle of Nowhere, roughly three miles from Lost.

"We need to get to the castle," Said Sasha, "We are actually not very far, according to this map."

Raymond stared at Sasha. "Are you telling me that we had a map this whole time and we could've flown to the castle but instead we crash land in the MIDDLE OF NOWHERE!?"

"Um… that's what it looks like, so… yep." Said Sasha.

"AGGGG!" Screamed Raymond, who began to furiously kick up dirt and rocks.

"It's no problem, we can just put back on the wings," Said Sasha.

"OR WE COULD IF THEY WEREN'T BUSTED!" Raymond yelled even more furiously.

"My Notch… calm down, it's like 20 kilometers from here, nothing too long. Right Xavier? Xavier?" Sasha called out for Xavier, but only later noticed that he was looking over the distance where the castle stood.

The castle was as big as a mountain, made out of bricks, and heavily guarded. The sun was high in the sky, but who knew for how long, they needed to move, swiftly.

"Let's go." Xavier was still dazed by the sight of castle, but managed to snap out of it.

After many more miles- actually there were only a couple miles, but who cares? It seemed like years for Raymond, they were close to the castle.

Now, remember the biggest castle you have ever seen. Now imagine it ten times the size. Add towers, lots of towers. And guards, hundreds of guards in each tower. Add the colors black and blood red, everywhere. Add lots of dungeons and clear spaces where executions were held. Add spooky effects like thunder in the distance and crows and bats flying everywhere. And finally, add a lava lake surrounding the entire thing. Herobrine would be jealous of how dark it is and creepy. But if you're lacking imagination, then let's sum this up: The Castle of Zondig was the largest and scariest castle you could ever imagine.

Also, it had a beautiful garden that was filled with flowers and children were playing in it.

But nethertheless, our three (Where and when did Alwyn even leave them? God, such an ass he is.) heroes were hiding in the bushes 20 meters away from the lava lake.

"Soooo… any ideas?" Xavier was the first one to break the silence. But was only rewarded with Sasha and Raymond shaking their heads. "Though so… We really didn't prepare for this, did we?" Again, they shook their heads. "How about we- nah we would fall in lava. Or may be- nah that's insane. How about- we aren't in a movie, it would be impossible. Or how about… I GOT IT!" Xavier practically screamed.

"SHHHHHHHHH!" was all he was greeted by. "Are you trying to get us noticed and killed? Now, what was the plan you were talking about?"

"We climb up using arrows!" Silence was all that followed Xavier's solution to their problem.

"Seriously?" Raymond said.

"Um. Guys, guys um. Um I I really-" Sasha stopped herself and pointed at the Wither Skeletons rising from the lava lake.

"Well, that isn't pleasant" Raymond said as Wither Skeletons started coming for them, their swords drawn.

"I think now would be a good time to run." Said Xavier.

"Yup, I agree," Said Sasha

And run they did.

Our heroes might be faster, but soon they grew tired of running from the skeletons, and so the skeletons were gaining up on them.

"Can we stop for a minute? My legs hurt!" Raymond whined.

"STOP WHINING AND RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! WE DON'T NEED YOUR SHIT AT THE MOMENT!" Sasha shouted angrily.

"Quick! To the trees!" Xavier added while climbing up a tall tree. Sasha and Raymond soon following his example.

The wither skeletons tried climbing up, but it with no success. "HA! Can't get us now, can you, idiots?" Raymond taunted them while taking a break. Big mistake. The wither skeletons started chopping down the trees.

"YOU JUST HAD TO MOCK THEM, DID YOU?!" Sasha yelled some more.

"I have an idea, but we need to climb on the tallest of trees." Xavier suggested and jumped from one tree to another, holding to the vines as not to fall.

"I'm not sure I'm going to like this!" Raymond confessed as he and Sasha followed Xavier's example. As they were climbing up, archer skeletons started shooting arrows at the trio. "OH FOR THE LOVE OF NOTCH CAN THIS GET ANY WORSE?!" Raymond just had to jinx things up, because as soon as he said that, a motherload of arrows just barely missed them. Luckily, they got to the tops of the trees unharmed.

"Well this was eventful, now what?" Sasha asked Xavier in confusion and exhaustion.

"Well… Now we have to get as near to the castle as possible, there we could use the height advantage to get in it more easily. What kind of an idiot doesn't clear up the forest surrounding the castle anyway?" Xavier explained.

"Xavier, that is the worst idea I have ever heard, we are NOT doing that." Raymond responded. As soon as he did, a fireball just barely missed his face. "Wha-" He didn't finish the sentence, Sasha interrupted him seeing that there were 5 Ghasts behind them and no way out of this situation but to run to the castle.

"Well it's our only option, we have to at least try!" With that they started jumping from tree to tree, all of them doing so while the Ghasts shot fireballs at them.

Raymond managed stopped for a moment with an idea, he pulled out his sword, but not before Sasha noticed him.

"Raymond what are you doing?!"

"I have a plan, this should work….I think." Replied Raymond.

"Now is not the time for plans!" Sasha screamed, "Now is the time for running!"

Raymond ignored her, and braced for impact as the Ghasts shot fireballs at him, then, with his sword, he swung it like a baseball bat, sending those fireballs flying back at the Ghasts, killing them on impact, but not before a couple more appeared over the hills. Plus a Pigman Chicken Jockey.

AUTHOR'S CONVERSATION STATION

Minecraftpsyco: WTF!? I HAD TO ADD IT!

Croziff: Joey srsly though what's with the Pigman-Midget Chicken Jockey?

BACK TO THE ACTUAL STORY

Raymond's eyes grew wide, "Nevermind, we don't have time for this!" and he ran back after his friends. However, ghasts were a lot faster since they were flying and the Jockey was riding on a (really) fast chicken, and so our heroes were soon near the castle, but fireballs rained on them.

"Xavier? Now is the PERFECT time for one of your 'brilliant plans'!" Raymond shouted, while the baby attacked him with a sword that was far too big for him to carry, but it was child's play for the baby pigman (heh, get it; CHILD'S play, you know 'cause he is a baby? no? emmm… moving on…).
"MAN, THAT MIDGET IS GOOD!" Raymond just barely dodged the blade aimed for his hip.

Ghasts flew lower, as to hit them more accurately, and then Xavier saw an opportunity.

"JUMP ON THE GHAST!" Xavier shouted and drank a potion of leaping, jumping so high he landed on the ghast. Sasha shrugged her shoulders and followed his example.

"WHAT THE NETHER! HOW DID YOU GET THAT POTION!" Raymond was confused.

"Alwyn gave us it! Don't you remember?!"

Flashback

"OK you little brats, this is the last time we'll see each other in a long run, thank Notch for that." Alwyn stated as he pulled something from his pocket. There were three potions, he gave each of them one.

I hope that you'll use this wisely, they are a pain in the ass to make." Too late, Raymond already drank his, a little too fast. He got a bad case of hiccups and due to the potion being the potion of leaping, he jumped high in the air every time he hicked.

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I DIDN'T EVEN EXPLAIN WHAT DOES IT TO!" Alwyn shouted at Raymond who was jumping all over the place.

END OF FLASHBACK

"Oh yeah, that, eh… crap." Raymond remembered. How was he supposed to get on the ghast now? Oh wait… he had an idea. A crazy, stupid, impossible to happen idea. First he kicked off the midget form the chicken with a well-placed punch in the stomach. He jumped on the chicken that for some reason, still ran and now even faster than before. He just needed to get ahead of the ghast. And that's what he did. When he was 20 meters away, he turned the chicken around and stopped. While a fireball was flying towards him, he grabbed the chicken in one hand and just stood there.

"RAYMOND WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Sasha shouted him to 'get the hell out of there' but Raymond still stood there watching as the fireball got closer and closer.

There

Just as the fireball was to hit him, he jumped, not only almost giving Xavier and Sasha heart attacks, but also being propelled up in the air by the explosion that the fireball caused. He landed on the ghast the rest of the team was. He stabbed the sword in the ghast, making the ghast not only scream, but making him take control of it. The castle was coming closer and closer, they had about 200 meters left, but the ghast tried desperately to take control back. Raymond lost control as soon as the ghast hit one of the walls,leaving a massive hole. As the Ghast disappeared Raymond, Xavier, Sasha and The Chicken fell to the floor, well the chicken glided to it, at least. They saw a three guards knocked unconscious, they probably ended up like that when the ghast hit the wall.

"OK, so, we're in the castle! Next stop, his majesty, king Ashole I !" Raymond was exhausted, but he never got to relax as an alarm went off, making the four of them jump.

"We." Raymond started saying as guards went storming in.

"Are." Sasha continued.

"Screwed." Xavier finished for her.

"Cluck. Cluck." The chicken laid an egg.
