Call of the Wither - Chapter 11

"Those things aren't from our world!?" - Steve
== Chapter 11 - Kill like a Drill and Die like a Fly ==
"Store this," Robin said, all sweaty, as he tossed half a dozen stacks of cobblestone and gravel to Kate. They had been digging for hours, with Kate occasionally checking their coordinates to make sure they were going the right way. 
Robin was about to get back to dig with his Netherite shovel with Mending applied when he heard distinct sounds. He looked down. There was a faint clue of weird particles and that particular gravel block was darker in shade than the rest, as if a shadow was casted on it, which wasn't the case. 
He was deciding either to mine the block or just to leave it alone when the block suddenly broke, and out came a four legged (?) monster with a drill equipped. 
"What the heck is this!?" Robin exclaimed as he jumped up to a platform. The others rushed to him. 
"You 'kay?" Steve asked as he rushed to him. About a dozen Drillers were now flowing out, drilling through blocks. As Steve realized what was happening, he regretted what he said, but Robin was too busy fighting to care. 
Alex and Kate finally arrived. Kate's face went pale, and Alex took notice of that. 
"Are you okay?" Alex asked. 
"Yes. Just that... Those stuff aren't from our world." 
"Those things aren't from our world!?" Steve gasped. "I mean, I've never seen them before, but how are they in our world if they're not from our world?" 
"How am I supposed to know?" Kate said, slashing at a driller. 
The Drillers were something new to them. They had fought and knew how to fight Zombies, Creepers, even Withers and Stormers, but something as small as a Driller could almost kill them, for the reason that they didn't know how to fight them. 
"Okay, Robin, what did you do to summon those things?" Alex asked, her eyes narrowing. 
"I didn't do anything! I just saw particles and they just suddenly appeared." 
"Just fight!" Steve shouted, and they all got out their respective weapons; Orichalcum Sword for Steve, Recurve Bow for Robin, Netherite Sword for Alex, and Grappling Hook and Destroyer for Kate. 
They had killed at least seven Drillers, at the cost of two full Iron Chestplates. Fortunately, Kate had enough to last a year. 5 more left. 
Robin was sniping off Drillers with his Recurve Bow, which one-shot them, only to realize he ran out of arrows. But Alex was one-swinging all of the others, problem solved. 
"They kill like a drill but die like a fly," Robin remarked, and they all laughed. 
"True," Kate said. "And guess what? We're right over Electric Caves!"
