Call of the Wither - Chapter 6

"So... This red mad ghast is chasing us to doom?"- Kate
== Chapter 6 - So We are Doomed by a Red Mad Ghast ==
"So the Fire Torch is heading this way..." Kate muttered to herself while walking. They were looking for the Fire Torch, the first torch of the Torch of 9 Elements. They were all getting pretty bored, with the slowed walking speed from the Soul blocks of Soul Sand Valley and weird gravity blocks from Gravity Islands.
"When do we see the Torch of Fire?" Alex asked, quite bored. 
"We should be ther.... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Kate screamed as she fell down, down, and down. 
"Umm, you okay?" Robin asked, looming over the hole. The hole was unlit, so it was hard to tell how deep it was. Robin tossed down a stack of ladders from above, for Kate to catch and climb. 
Over an hour later, Kate climbed out of the hole, using the ladders, with only half a heart left and near-empty hunger bar, but she was still alive and active. 
"You made it!" Alex sighed a sigh of relief. She was the most worried about Kate than anybody, and she was very happy to see her again, which was totally normal, considering that Kate and Alex were best friends. 
Steve, on the other hand, was looking past her shoulder, with a face of fear. 
"Steve, what's wrong?" Robin asked. 
"Look behind Kate..." That was the only answer Steve would give. Everyone turned around, and they saw the Ancient Ghast. 
"What from hell is this?!" Robin exclaimed, then suddenly realizing it was probably sent from hell. 
"A red ghast," Alex replied, 
"A big red ghast," Kate replied. 
"A big red mad ghast," Robin said, joining in. 
"A big red mad strong ghast," Kate said, enjoying this. 
"A big red mad strong bloodshot..." Alex never had time to say the last word. 
"Look. There is a big red mad strong bloodshot Ghast that is actually called the Ancient Ghast and named Etrenal that will probably want us all dead, so if you don't want to be a chunk of burning flesh in the Nether lying around, you've got to fight!" Steve yelled, just in time to duck under a fireball that came from Etrenal. "And this proved it!" 
"Okay," Robin said, shooting a dozen arrows, all striking their targets. The next thing he knew, though, was that there was a shattered piece of Etrenal's face all over. "I killed it!!!" He yelled. 
"Not quite," Kate said, recovering from the fall with a full health bar and hunger bar. She no one really knew the Ancient Ghast's attacks, unlike the Hovering Inferno's, but she just saw Etrenal floating up. When she thought of that, she looked up again, to see 4 normal white sad Ghasts floating down and attacking. Kate instinctively flung a few Destroyers at them, and grappled the fourth one, which took care of the Ghasts. 
Alex threw a throwing knife that should have hit Etrenal, but instead got vaporized by the 6 fireballs that the Ancient Ghast shot, also putting Alex on fire. 
"HELP!!!!!!" she screamed. Steve dumped a water bucket on her. 
Meanwhile, Robin hid behind a chunk of Netherrack that Etrenal's fireballs wouldn't be able to reach but he could snipe the Ancient Ghast with his bow. 
Finally, after a considerable amount of time, they defeated Etrenal... 
"You will wreck havoc in the Nether, our realm, the perfect world that Notch created for us. To hell with you, like the terrible and horrible Endermen. In a way, you are just as bad as Herobrine. Now, the Fire Club will come for you.... Hunt you down.... And you.. will regret everything.... everything....." 
Only to find Cyber missing. 
"Well, I guess we just got another quest to complete, huh?" said Robin.
