CHAPTER 15

GIVING CHASE

The creepers were getting closer. Gameknight could hear their hissing; it sounded like a basket full of angry snakes.

“Ready …” he shouted.

The creepers were about five blocks away.

Gameknight glanced down the line of young NPCs. He could see scared expressions on all their faces, even though they were all trying desperately to be brave.

“Don’t worry … stand your ground!” Gameknight yelled. “This will work, just get ready.”

The creepers were now four blocks away.

It was completely silent in the village. He could feel all of the NPCs’ eyes staring down at them, waiting to see what they were going to do.

The hissing creepers were glowing brighter, getting ready to detonate. They were only three blocks away and the smell of sulfur filled the air.

“NOW!”

As one, Gameknight and the kids each pulled out a bucket of water and poured it on the ground. They then stepped sideways, pouring another bucket, creating a solid line of water. The liquid flowed across the ground and hit the creepers, pushing them backward and slowing their progress.

“Quick, back to the wall!” Gameknight yelled.

All of them turned and struggled through the water that was now also flowing toward the village. Once they reached the wooden doors, Gameknight opened them and they streaked for the top of the walls. When they were all safely within the village, Gameknight stepped inside and closed the doors. He then ran up the stairs and took his place on the wall. The kids each had a bucket of water in their hands. Gameknight reached into his inventory and pulled out another bucket.

Down below, he could see the creepers were still struggling through the water and had not detonated yet, but they were getting closer.

“Ready … NOW!”

The kids all poured more water over the edge of the wall. The blue liquid fell to the ground, then formed another watery barrier that pushed the creepers back another four blocks. Suddenly, the first creeper exploded, followed by a series of blasts from the other creepers. They tore into the pristine grass, gouging a deep line of craters into the landscape. The water poured over the edge and began to partially fill the hole.

“Fire at the blazes!” Gameknight roared.

The fiery monsters had been watching the progress of the creepers and had completely forgotten about the NPCs. Suddenly, the air was alive with arrows as the villagers fired on the burning creatures. A clanking sound echoed across the grassy landscape as countless shafts struck the flaming monsters. They flared bright with every hit, until their internal flames flickered and expired. Blaze rods fell to the ground like golden rain as the archers continued to fire on their enemy.

“Retreat!” wheezed one of the remaining blazes. “We must return to Herobrine!”

Their blaze rods began to spin faster as the surviving monsters moved higher into the air and drifted farther away, back toward the forest.

“We did it!” Fencer yelled.

The villagers cheered, many of them patting the kids on the back, causing the young NPCs to beam with pride.
