mindcracklove | The End (Chapter One)

First Fanfiction, and after hearing about the Vechs-Aureylian-BTC love triangle, I decided to take a more indirect approach at it and add some more action and drama than just "And he cried" or "And she kissed him" I'll be posting these throughout the summer as thats a good measurement of time and by August the "Book" should be finished. Enjoy and give me some constructive criticism!

They laughed, a somewhat strained laugh however. Aureylian strained her's a little more though, it was a little difficult to laugh whenever you had feelings for two people and were in the presence of one. Vech knew of this and was feeling the same, although he was also trying to comfort her for it, treating her as more of a friend than a beloved.

"And so then, Paul pranked me back for it, by giving me a Fedex Package with quite a bit of a suprise. It is to be expected I suppose, but it was funny nonetheless!"

They were speaking of another Mindcracker, Paulsoaresjr, godfather of the real which they lived in, father figure to almost all the Mindcrackers, and personal friend of Vechs. They continued talking of Vechs's and Paul's prank war and sharing a few more laughs, when there was a knock at Vech's passage to Paul's."Enter," he said

"Must be Paul, probably wants to use the grinder to fix his weapons."

It was indeed Paul, but his motive was different and you could tell he was anxious. After he sat down with them, he began to explain his urgency. He was sweating, had several gashes spilling blood, and looked exausted.

" Paul! How come you aren't healing! Are you hungry or something?" Aureylian said.
"Yeah," countinued Vechs. "I have some chicken burning, I know you like watching them burn." he said, remembering Pauls hatred of the "Spys".

"Under other circumstances, I would LOVE to see them burn, but recent events have been, um, difficult. Have you guys been getting any telepathic messages from the rest of the Mindcrackers?" Paul asked.

"Um, now that you mention it no, I haven't gotten anything since Etho died from fighting Sethbling. Were they doing a PvP fight or something?" Vechs asked.

"Well, looks like you have enough backstory of this for me to explain. Aureylian, (He called her by her full name because he didn't want to offend Vechs by using his nickname for her of Rel Rel or Aurey.) Etho is pretty much the supergenious of the server, rivaled only by Seth. Etho wanted to sabotage the command console to get some redstone because he had run out, and Seth interfered with him wanting to keep the icon of Mindcracks vanilla sound. In the fighting, the two broke the console, and stopped telepatheic messages, natrual regeneration, and ultimately, respawning."

The two were stunned to silence. No respawining meant that if anybody died, that would be it. Regularly, any person fatally wounded would remain in a trance in excrutiating pain, and shortly afterward be respawned at a bed or specific location. It was the "Nightmare theory" created by Dinnerbone, a philosopher and a friend of the Mindcrackers.

"So, this means, this is it, if we lose anyone, they're gone." Aureylian said.

"To put it simply, yes." Paul responded. "Etho has already fallen, along with Mc, Doc, Generik, and Arkas."

Again, the two were stunned. So many of their friends, dead.

"How can that many deaths be possible in such little time?" Aureylian asked. " It was only about an hour ago that we heard Etho die." she continued.

" Well, thats anoher thing. in taking out respawing, Ethos and Seth also put the server into Eternal Night, Hardcore, and UHC. The eternal night has caused mobs to be everywhere, in fact, I wouldn't be suprised if there were some around her in your base Vechs. Thats one reason, the other is that UHC has turned off all natural regeneration, and since people were so acustomed to it, they didn't pack regeneration objects."

Aureylian then began to fuss over Pauls wounds. " Paul! Drink a regen potion then! How low on health are you!"

Vechs went to his main room and brewed up some regeneration potions. "Well, I'd say I'm at about at one or two hearts." Paul responded calmly. "

How are you not dead!" Aureylian continued. In the background you could hear Vechs singing about brewing, which brought a smile to Pauls bloodied face.

"Well, I have been trying to convert zombie villagers to villagers, and as such had several golden apples in my inventory, along with weakness potions. Also with that, I have been in contact with Team Canada, Team America,Guude and BDouble. They are at spawn and also have packed regenation items. When I got to them I was at half a heart, and they instantly splashed me with health potions. In other news, who would throw a glass bottle at someone to heal them?"

Aureylian got a giggle from that. Vechs returned with the potions and handed one to Paul. "They're not II because glowstone is short, but I figured that at this point, as long as you get healed it doesn't matter."

Paul took a sip and instantly began feeling better. "Heh, not so evil at heart now, are you Vechs?" Paul teased.

Aureylian had another giggle about that, and Vechs looked like he wanted to strangle Paul. "The only reason I'm not breaking your bones now is because your senior citizen healthcare would probably have it fixed, and frankley I don't want to lose any friends."

That got all of them laughing. "Well now Mr. Survivor Man, what should our plan be now?" Aureylian asked.

"Well I'd say-" Paul was cut short by a arrow impaleing the wall behind the group. Another one came, but was blocked by Vech's bow, which he had drawn earlier when Paul mentioned monsters could be in his base. "Skeletons." Vechs said as he dodged another arrow.

Vechs began to return fire, shooting blindley at the rough location of where the arrow came from. The arrow hit, and engulfed in flames was a skeleton decked out in full diamond armor.

"Damn It! Why did spawns of mobs become tougher!" Vechs roared.

At this point Paul and Aureylian began cover fire for Vechs. Vechs then put away his bow and drew his sword, charging the enemy. The skeleton crippled and fell to the floor where he died in a plume of dust. He dropped a chestplate and pants. He threw them over to Aureylian.

"Yo Rel Rel, put this on, wouldn't want you to get hurt!" Vechs called.
She did as told, herself not wanting to get killed and seprated from the world and her friends.

Vechs ended up slaughtering every single skeleton without injury, due to his blocking and cover fire. He ended his crusade by smashing a "Skelebling's" head in with a pickaxe and destroying the 2 skeleton spawners he used in his grinder.

"What a waste of a random occurence." Vechs said.

He inspected his armor and weapons. His bows string was begining to tear, his sword was begining to chip, and his armor had more dents that he could count, not to metion his helmet had a large hole towards his left ear where a skeletons shoulder blade crashed.

"Sooo, where would everybody else be?" Aureylian asked Paul.

"At spawntown." he said. "We shouldn't use the Nether for travel." Paul said."Thats how Genny died, he tried to transport to spawntown to deliver some rations, but when Guude went to search for him all he found were 3 dead pigmen in a circle around his jerkin. Guude turned back immediatley."

Aureylian got slightly teary at that, and Vechs comforted her by saying.

"At least he died a warriors death..." she appreciated the action and hugged him. "Yeah, I guess so." she responded. "

So, I say we leave in half an hour, no use endangering ourselves even more by staying in here." Paul said.

"Yeah." Aureylian said, tears still distorting her vision. But they wern't tears for Gennerik, they were tears of guiltyness of not being able to love Vechs wholeheartedly, and not being able to know about her other beloved...

Next Chapter should be up by Saturday, or 6/7/14
