Wrath of the Kracken

*To Naomi and Lincoln*

## Chapter 1, Lincoln:

Lincoln woke up in the middle of a Jungle Edge. He was in a bush lying on his back staring into the sky. It was cloudy and would probably rain soon. He got out of the bush and said to himself "Where am I...?" Of course he realized that no one would answer but what would you do? He knew everything he had always known. His name, his favorite things to do, his favorite food, his nickname, his pets and his home. But he was in a jungle. He read in a book that if you were to ever get lost to punch down a tree with your hands (Or axe if you had one) and build a shelter. That is what he did. He walked to a tree and punched it hard, it hurt a bit but the log broke. The rest of the tree remained where it was. It didn't fall down at all. He punched down the rest and made some planks and built a crafting table. He placed it down and broke some planks down into sticks and made an axe, pickaxe and sword. He decided it would be best to head north. That is if he knew which direction north was. Which he didn't... So he just walked in the direction he wanted. With no thought of what would happen. Lincoln never thought that far ahead and always wanted to change that, but whenever he did try to change that he forgot within a few minutes. So after a few minutes of walking a drop of water landed on Lincoln's head. And than it started to rain. He started to run, even though he didn't plan to get to shelter and just to keep going. He found a large tree and went under it. That wasn't part of the plan but he hated getting wet. He sat under the tree even though the ground was still a little wet. After about an hour he heard lightning strike nearby. He got up and decided it would be better to run than sit under a tree. There was a sound of more lightning and thunder nearby and a loud sound that sounded like a mix beetween a growl and a sceam. Lincoln was terrified. He dug a hole with his pickaxe and placed some wood above himself. He would have to wait until the storm stopped.

Sometime while in his hole Lincoln had fallen asleep. He woke up and didn't hear any thunder so he assumed it was safe to get out. When he got out he heard the same sound that sounded like a growl-scream. He didn't know what it was but he had a sword and really wanted to see what it was. He got up and looked around and didn't see anything. It was a normal jungle... But he heard the sound again. It was coming from behind him. He turned around swiftly and ran in that direction and saw a white figure emerge from behind a tree. It was a beautiful and creepy creature at the same time. It was a horse that had no eyes and was completely made out of levitating bones. It was the strangest thing Lincoln had ever seen. He didn't stop to think it might be hostile and snuck towards it and went to pet it. A foolish choice, when he touched it the creature seemed to feel happy and out of nowhere a skeleton with a bow and helmet both shimmering with enchantment powers flashed into existance on top of the horse. And tried to shoot an arrow at Lincoln. He dodged its arrow and dove into a bush. He knew the creature sensed him nearby. He stupidly looked out from under the bush and the skeleton shot an arrow landing right in the block above him. And of course like always he jumped up and ran as quick as a creeper running from a cat. The skeleton shot another arrow right by him. He could hear the arrow zip past his ear. And than he saw a place he knew that the beast wouldn't follow him. It was an ice plains, which the skeleton would freeze and crack open if it was in too long. So he found a nice little cave in the ice plains and sat in it. Remembering his family, his friends, his pets... He knew he remembered them. He remembered he had a dog. It was a black wolf that he named... He forgot his own dogs name... He knew he had a sister who he couldn't remember the name of... He thought it was something that started with an N.. Nancy... Nia.. It was too foggy to remember right now.

## Chapter 2, Naomi:

Naomi woke up in the middle of a Birch Forest. She was in tallgrass lying on her back staring into the leaves. It was sunny. She got out of the grass and said to herself "Where am I...?" Of course she realized that no one would answer. She got up and realized that the trees around her were birch trees. Her favorite type of tree even though her old home was made of concrete. The whole biome was a beautiful place. There were birds living in the trunks of trees feeding their babies worms and nuts they found on the ground, squirrels climbing up trees and hiding nuts and best of all there was a family of ducks that were walking by. It was the most amazing place Naomi had ever been in! But where was everything else? Her brother, her cat and her house? And her money... She had saved up emeralds for 4 years and ended up with 9,252 emeralds. The world record for most emeralds ever owned at once. And broke the world record for most emeralds spent at once. Which was 4,500 on 5 one of a kind paintings. Naomi had worked as a miner for 4 years collecting different colored stones, gems and crystals and selling them to the villagers in a nearby village. She always would get lucky and find the best spots to mine. Nobody knew why but there was a point where all she ever found was coal and granite. But after going missing for almost a year Naomi came back being the luckiest miner in town. Not even she remembered what happened that almost year. After that she worked building amazing structures for most of her life. But they were very expensive, Naomi punched a birch tree down, knowing that its the smartest thing to do when lost and in less than 20 seconds made a crafting table and full set of tools and a wooden shield. She knew that monsters came out at night even though she only ever went out at night a few times in her entire life. Some people hunted monsters for a living. Some thought they were misunderstood. Naomi knew that they were monsters and they lived to kill. It was getting dark and that meant the monsters where coming.

She drew a her sword and attacked a giant spider keeping it from biting her. Some spiders were poisonous but only the smaller male ones. There are 2 types of spiders: Cave Spiders are the smaller ones. Those are the males, they have poison and have a dark blue color. They aren't are fast or strong as the female spiders because they need to take care of the eggs. The female spiders live above ground and are bigger, faster and stronger and rarely go underground to check on the eggs. Naomi continued fighting the spider and finished it off by stabbing it in the eye. After that she felt a little dizzy. (If you saw what happens when you stab a giant spider in the eye you would feel dizzy) She felt a creature punch her from behind, it was a zombie. In 4 hits the zombie was gone. They were the most pathetic monster ever. A large group isn't even a big deal. Naomi saw that she had been walking right towards an ice plains! She had never been in an ice plains and ran there and found a small cave but could see light coming from inside.. It looked like light from a fire. She grabbed a rock and dropped it in and a few seconds later she heard her brother say "Hello?"

## Chapter 3, Tawkerr:

Tawkerr woke up in the middle of an Ice Plains. He was in a pile of snow lying on his flat on his face. He sat up and looked around and said to nobody "WHERE AM I?!?!" And his voiced echoed several times. He didn't know who he was or anything else but that he was Tawkerr. "WHO AM I?!?!?" He screamed. He looked around seeing a mountian, a frozen river and a spruce forest. He had no idea what was happening and almost passed out. He fell over and felt part of him get stuck in the ground. He tried to pull it out and succesfully did. He felt for something and thought he felt a horn of some sort. He walked very, very slowly to the frozen river and looked into it. He saw himself, he was a light gray furry creature with 2 block horns that were twisting and turning in every direction. Both had a yellow ribbon attached to them. And unlike most creature he had purple eyes. He still had no clue who he was and only knew that he seemed to be built for the snow. His horns would be useful too. He saw in the river under it several dark blue squids swimming around and several groups of salmon. The creatures looked so happy to know that there was nothing that wanted to hurt them. Happy they knew where they were. Happy to be immune to the fact that the river water was probably freezing. He very carefully stepped onto an ice block. It seemed to harden under his feet. And he stepped foward again. Very slowly he made his way across the river. He of course didn't know what he was doing but he apparently could walk on ice without it breaking. So he continued through the biome looking for a sign of life and came across a pile of items. There was a sword that was very damaged, some cookies, some other damaged tools, a pumpkin and a book. Tawkerr opened the book and saw this:
01001001 00100000 01110111 01101111 01101011 01100101 00100000 01110101 01110000 00100000 01110100 01101000 01101001 01110011 00100000 01101101 01101111 01110010 01101110 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000 01101001 01101110 00100000 01110100 01101000 01101001 01110011 00100000 01110000 01101100 01100001 01100011 01100101 00101110 00100000 01001001 01110100 01110011 00100000 01100011 01101111 01101100 01100100 00100000 01100001 01101110 01100100 00100000 01001001 00100000 01100001 01101101 00100000 01100100 01111001 01101001 01101110 01100111 00101110 00100000 01001001 00100000 01100100 01101111 01101110 00100111 01110100 00100000 01101011 01101110 01101111 01110111 00100000 01110111 01101000 01100001 01110100 00100000 01110100 01101111 00100000 01100100 01101111 00101110
There was another contraption nearby on the ground that had a lable that said "Binary to English Translator" Tawkerr pointed the machine at the code and a screen popped up that said:
"I woke up this morning in this place. Its cold and I am dying. I don't know what to do."

So the 1s and 0s means something. And this little gadget can decode it. Tawkerr grabbed all the items (Except the cookies which were probably stale) and put them away. He decided a cave would be a good place to sleep. It was getting dark though... He found a cave nearby but saw inside there was fire light. Someone was probably in there. He didn't want to find out but before he got far away he saw someone coming his way. He hid behind a rock and looked from around it and watched the person. She seemed to notice that someone was in there and they threw a rock in. And than someone said "Hello?" from inside the cave.

## Chapter 4, Reunion:

Tawkerr listened closely to the voices and heard the following conversation:
Naomi: "Gem is that you?"
Lincoln: "Who are you? How do you know my nickname?"
Naomi: "Gem! Its me! Your sister!"
Lincoln: "Oh really? Where is your proof?"
Naomi: "My name is Naomi, I broke the world record for most money spent at once and most money owned at once"
Lincoln: "Ok well..."
Naomi: "Do you believe me yet? Can I come in?"
Lincoln: "Ok, ok"
Naomi: "How did we happen to find eachother?"
Lincoln: "I have no idea"
Naomi: "Hey Gem I saw some weird creature out there! It was hiding behind a rock and I think it was watching me.."
Lincoln: "Ooh! What did it look like?"
Naomi: "It was a light gray creature and it had 2 twisting horns with yellow ribbons on them"
Lincoln: "I have no idea what that is"
Naomi: "Well if I didn't know I knew you wouldn't..."
Lincoln: "Do you think the creature is still there?"
Naomi: "I don't know lets go see"
They were quiet as they came out of the cave. They both came out and Tawkerr tried to run but he tripped on a rock. The 2 people came out of their cave and saw him right away "Hello?" the girl named Naomi said. Tawkerr pretended like he couldn't talk, ironically though he was called a Tawkerr. "Hey I know what you are, your a Tawkerr!" Said Naomi. Well now he didn't have a choice.. He couldn't hide his ability to talk anymore. Of course he tried but a quiet "Uh..." slipped out. "OH MY G-" Naomi covered Lincoln's mouth before he could finish. Tawkerr still tried to not talk. "Whats you name? We know you can talk.." He still didn't reply. He had no memory of a proper name and the last few hours had just called himself Tawkerr. He pulled out the book and "Binary to English Translator" and gave it to them. "What is this?" Tawkerr tried to walk away while they were distracted. "Where are you going? Please tell us who you are!" said Naomi. Tawkerr didn't move. Lincoln said "Maybe he is an enemy. Maybe he is trying to restrict himself from killing us" and he pulled out his sword. After that Tawkerr blacked out.

## Chapter 5, The Kracken:

The Kracken finished yawning. A new record of 32 seconds. Excellent. He looked out his window to see fish swimming by. They would probably get stuck in one of his nets. He would get to watch them suffer. That would be a nice way to start out the morning he thought. The Kracken looked at his fish tank. It was a marvelous creation that he claimed to have built. (But actually stole it) When he got bored of watching fish he would put them in and- I mean it, it was a literal tank. Like an army tank- shoot them away. He thought it was really funny. But right now his plan had nothing to do with launching fish. His plan was currently to learn to fly. He wanted to be freed from the ocean so he could take over the rest of the world. Even though The Kracken was an evil villan he actually was quite active and enjoyed building evil contraptions. (Of course some like the Fish Tank were too complex and he needed to steal them) He, unlike most evil villans didn't have an army of evil henchmen or 2 henchmen who are really dopey. Instead he had his friend Salty the squid. They had known eachother for many years and always had the dream of getting out of the water. The Kracken wanted to be evil also. Salty never didn't really like the idea until they started and ever since he always wanted to come when they went on adventures devouring coral reefs, lifting boats and their favorite: scaring dolphins. Yep, The Kracken and Salty were the Herobrines of the sea. Of course Herobrine isn't real. They were so evil that sometimes they would squish The Drowned for fun. Sometimes though they would get poked in the bottom by Drowned with tridents. But you know The Kracken probably isn't a main character in this story. He really is just an interesting giant squid that dreams of getting out of the water. Thats impossible though. The title of the book is just a coincidence. So lets get back into the main story.

## Chapter 6, It Tawks:

Tawkerr woke up in a cave. He felt stone but didn't open his eyes. He knew they had brought him into the cave. He really didn't want them to know he could talk. He could sense they were asleep. somehow. He opened his eyes and saw them asleep on the ground. Using a pile of spruce leaves as a blanket. He got up and looked out of the cave, it was sunrise. He decided that it was too late to stay a little longer and look for supplies so he got out of the cave and ran to the nearby mountian and climbed over it. Well it was really more foothills. It wasn't that tall. Than he saw over that mountian was an Alps Foothills. Even bigger than regular foothills. (Obviously) So he climed them and at the top found it was a snowy mountian field made of snow blocks. After walking about 50-100 blocks he saw a real Alps. Being a Tawkerr (Which have very good navigational skills) he managed to climb to the top within less than 30 minutes. When he got to the top it was like a 150 block tall Mesa Plataeu but with snow! Tawkerr decided not to look down. It would probably be a very bad idea and he would probably panic and fall. But of course there was a huge ravine in the Alps and of course he found a bridge and of course he tried to cross it and of course he looked down and well, obviously fell. He fell for what felt like forever and somehow magically landed softly on an ice block. Tawkerr seemed to have magic powers that were connected to the cold. Of course there was no escaping long from the humans because most humans are very intellegent. He heard 2 voices echoing through the ravine and Tawkerr saw the brother and sister coming his way. So of course what he did is he ran, screaming. "AHHHHH WHYYY" The brother and sister looked at eachother and Naomi said "It talks!" and Lincoln said "You mean it 'tawks'?"

## Chapter 7, Ice Spikes:

Tawkerr ran through the Ice Plains and in the distance he saw Ice Spikes. A rare fantasy biome filled with huge towering spikes of ice, some extending 30 blocks tall! An Ice Spike would be the perfect place to carve a temporary home into. Of course being not alive Tawkerr could break through the ice with no second thought. So thats what he did. After arriving Tawkerr dug a hole into the packed ice. Unfortunately only a magical pickaxe had the power to collect packed ice and it just shattered to pieces. That gave him and idea, he could carve out tons of the Ice Spikes to trick the brother and sister, than he would dig into one from under and cover his hole in the snow by placing snow blocks in the gap. It was full proof!

After about an hour Tawkerr was exhausted. The full proof plan wouldn't work. He would have to dig into the snow and hide in it for the night. Even Tawkerrs get too cold sometimes. He dug the hole and covered it up. (With airholes of course.) It was very cold. Fortunately it was dark outside. If it were light his airholes would make a bright reflection in the whole area.

## Chapter 8, Fatal Flaw:

Naomi walked through the Ice Spikes with Lincoln, with caution of mobs. They had to find out why this creature was so scared of them. There were hundreds of Ice Spikes, some towered 30 blocks above them which felt very unsafe but never have a fear of being crushed when your in a world where few objects are affected by gravity. Only a few like sand or gravel. It was very rare that someone would be killed by it. According to Naomi's calculations it was only one in two million five hundred and ten thousand and seven hundred and fifty people were killed by falling blocks. The Ice Spikes would make very nice homes if it werent for the permanent cold. It was a bright night. The moon was high and lit up the biome. Lincoln remembered it was night and reminded Naomi. They drew their swords. Perfect timing too, a stray snuck up right behind them hitting an arrow right on an Ice Spike. They knew it was a straw because the arrow had dull blue spirals coming out of the tip signifying that it was a tipped arrow. They turned around and saw the stray. It was similar to a skeleton but it had edapted to the cold. It's bones had a light blue tint and unlike skeletons it was wearing ragged dull blue clothes with an amulet that appeared to have a diamond on it. But the scariest part was it's eyes. Unlike it's common counterpart (Which has no eyes) it had both eyes. But neither had pupils. As if it's eyes were rolled back into it's head. It shot another arrow at Naomi but than Naomi did something extrordinary, she grabbed the arrow an inch away from her nose and threw it back at the stray shattering it's amulet and making it slow down. It tried to shoot another arrow but was too slow to make it go far. Lincoln held up his sword and slashed at the monster finishing it off. When the stray dissapeared it left it's skull behind. Lincoln picked it up and Naomi said "What is wrong with you?!" "Who knows if it will be useful or not!" "How can a SKULL be useful?" "I don't know." They both paused than Naomi said "Lets keep going." They both noticed that many Ice Spikes were hollowed out. They couldn't tell if this was done by the Tawkerr or not. They continued to see the hollow spikes start to get less frequent and out of nowhere Naomi made a small sinkhole falling in and heard Tawkerr; "MMMMFF! MMMMMMMMMMF!!!!"

## Chapter 9, Teaming Up:

Naomi and Lincoln started digging "What have I done?!" Said Naomi. Lincoln said "That is the fatal flaw in his plan." Lincoln felt something and grabbed it and pulled it out. It was a hand! He pulled harder and Tawkerr came out of the snow. "Oh uh hi... I am guessing you want to know what I am and how I can talk and all that nonsense..." No one spoke for about 30 seconds and than Naomi said "We know what you are. I researched Tawkerrs for 3 days until I gave up. Your the only other creature that can speak english other than humans." Tawkerr replied "Oh ok good you know. Uh did you guys happen to appear out here too?"

Naomi: "I actually woke up in a Birch Forest. Gem were you?"
Lincoln: "I think it was a Jungle Edge. I could be wrong."
Tawkerr: "Um... Ok. I need to get going to-"
Naomi: "Where?"
Tawkerr: "I.. In.. Uh... I don't know..."
Lincoln: "Well we will help you!"
Tawkerr: "You were going to kill me last night."
Lincoln: "I wha- um no.. Maybe... I wouldn't have killed you, see... I... Crummit."
Naomi: "You can come with us. If you don't remember anything you have no purpose so you should help us."
Lincoln: "That is very harsh."
Naomi: "Well its true."
Tawkerr: "Yes it is very much true. Can we go somewhere? Like now? Its the middle of the night I dont feel safe."
Naomi & Lincoln: "Yes please."

## Chapter 10, Rise of the Kracken:

Before you read this chapter I want to say I thought The Kracken was going to be just a random character I thought the title was a coincidence. Whoops.

The Kracken finished putting on his amazing Breathe-Out-of-Watermatron 2000. (It took about 45 minutes.) He also put on his Magic-Flying-Krackenizer 2001. His machines always ended in matron or izer. Anyways he was ready to test it. He swam out of his dead coral house and flew up into the air. AIR! He was actually out of the water flying! He was also a genius! "Muahahahahahaaa!" He yelled. He looked around at the colorful landscape. And decided to use his favorite power. Whenever he felt sad he would go to the surface of the water and make it storm and look at the rain. But now he could do that and see the thunder! The clouds started spinning faster that a creeper runs from an ocelot and thunder and lightning and rain appeared everywhere. He saw a group of nearby pigs get struck by lightning turning them part human, part zombie, part pig all monster. MUAHHAHAHAHHAHA

## Chapter 11, Frostbite:

The trio walked north. Trying to find the slightest sign of intellegent life. Not a creature made a sound for hours. They had gone ages without talking. "We never introduced ourselves did we?" Said Naomi. Tawkerr replied "Um no I don't think so. But the day before yesterday I was kinda listening to you guys talking and I heard your names." It wasn't long after until Lincoln said "Well you can call me Gem. Thats what everyone calls me." They went even longer without anyone talking. The snow crunched beneath their feet until suddenly a low growling sound could be heard. It seemed to be coming from Lincoln. "Oh uh.. Heh I um.. Haven't eaten in 3 days..." He said. "Yeah I haven't either." Said Naomi. "I.. I Don't think I have eaten anything in my life." Said Tawkerr. But out in the middle of an Ice Spikes what would there be to eat?

Naomi: "Well we can always make a fishing rod.."
Lincoln: "Ew,"
Tawkerr: "A.. A Fishing rod? What... Is that?"
Naomi: "Its like a string on a stick with a hook. You use it to catch fish."
Tawkerr: "Uh.. Why would you need to do that?"
Naomi: "For food of course!"
Tawkerr: "So you just like.. Like snatch them out of their home? To eat them? Thats awful..."
Naomi: "Its um... Normal.. I uh.. Hmm... They.. Are... Ok, ok well you know you make it sound worse than it is."
Tawkerr: "Ok well to me that sounds um... Really, really horrible..."
Naomi: "Yeah? Well goodluck finding any other food."

Naomi pulled out a crafting table and placed it. She put 2 string and 3 sticks on it and a fishing rod appeared. "How did you get string?" Lincoln asked. "I killed a spid- actually you really don't want to know." Naomi found a nearby frozen lake and realized something "Hmmmm... How are we going to break ice without smashing ice under our feet and falling in..." She said. "Well actually I-" Tawkerr was interrupted by a low growling noise that sounded more muffled. Naomi and Tawkerr looked at Lincoln. "Not me!" He said. The sound could be heard again. A blue zombie like creature came out from under the snow behind Tawkerr. It jumped on him punching him. "AHHHHH!!! SOMEONE GET IT OFF!!!!" Screamed Tawkerr. Naomi knocked the creature 3 blocks away stabbing it 3 times in it's rotting chest. On the 3rd hit it dissapeared with a pop. "Frostbite..." Whispered Lincoln. Nobody heard him. "Guys that was a Frostbite, they are legendary monsters! I read about them when I was adventurer training. They are said to hide under the snow in groups of up to 30, they start out by one being sent up to attack than seconds earlier the rest-" He was interrupted by the sound of many more of the creatures growling muffled from the snow. Than about 25 more rose out of the snow and stiffly walked towards them.

## Chapter 12, Enchanted Forest:

The trio ran through the Ice Plains towards a biome that appeared to be a Taiga. The Frostbite were faster than normal zombies. Tawkerr looked behind them which was a very bad idea. He wasn't paying attention to where he was running and tripped on a rock, landing face first in the snow. He didn't want to fight them, even if he had a weapon. "Which I do... But do I want to use it..?" Said Tawkerr feeling for his horns. Completely forgetting that his friends were running for their lives he tried to fight the creatures. He hit them with his horns. They weren't powerful enough to kill them but also powerful enough to stun them. Than he remembered Naomi and Lincoln. "NAOMI!! GEM!!! WAIT FOR MEEEEE!!!!" He ran fast. Tawkerrs are very fast runners.

He caught up with Naomi and Lincoln a few minutes later. They lost the Frostbite army and settled down in the Taiga. It was very dense for a Taiga. Suddenly a low growling sound came out of nowhere. "THEY CAUGHT UP WIT HUS! RUN!!!!!!!" Screamed Tawkerr. "Nope. I'm still hungry..." Said Lincoln. "Hey look at these plants... They look weird..." Naomi had found 6 small bushes growing strange pink berries. "Are they safe?" Asked Tawkerr
Naomi: "You gotta find out. Tawkerrs have a unique filter in their throat that catches any poison."
Tawkerr: "Um.. I did not know that. But that uh.. Will only like.. Mean I can eat them and you guys wouldn't know if they're safe..."
Naomi: "Well if its poison it leaves a horrible taste in your mouth that tastes like sour rocks. Man I somehow know this after studying Tawkerrs for less than a week.."
Tawkerr: "Ok well uh.. that sounds awful. But fine."

Tawkerr ate one of the berries and said "Oh wow. That is amazing. I think that I feel like I am magic. More than I am." Naomi ate one of the berries too. And stuffed a handful into her mouth
Naomi: "TAT IS E MOT DELISHOES FING"
Tawkerr: "Its rude to talk with food in your mouth."
Naomi: "Do you care?"
Tawkerr & Lincoln: "Nope."

## Chapter 13, Tawkerr's Backstory:

The trio continued north. What they would find they had no idea still. The Taiga was cool but not too cold. It was the perfect biome. Tawkerr was happy here. Naomi and Lincoln also liked it.

Tawkerr: "So uh.. Where are we going, exactly?"
Lincoln & Naomi: "Well I just headed north and..."
Naomi: "That was really creepy."
Lincoln: "We aren't even twins."
Naomi: "So why didn't you want us to know you could talk back when we first met?"
Tawkerr: "Um... I'm really shy..."
Naomi: "Can you tell us what you remember?"
Tawkerr: "Well, I um.. I guess I woke up in the middle of the Ice Plains. I... I looked around and I screamed 'where am I' very loud. Than I looked around and saw a mountian and a frozen river. So um.. I went to the frozen river and I like kinda um... I saw Salmon and Squid swimming. Than I went to walk over it and the ice got harder as I walked over it. And than I found your cave, Gem. Than I saw Naomi walking towards it and I hid behind a rock. I heard your whole conversation. Than well I guess you were there the rest of the time. Well actually after I got in the Ice Spikes I buried myself. Heh.. Bad idea... It was also a bad idea to go up the Alps.."
Naomi: "Why?"
Tawkerr: "I have a horrible fear of heights..."
No one spoke for several minutes. It was eerie. There was no sound at all. The trees seemed to be streching higher and higher. They were entering a Mega Taiga.

Tawkerr: "Oh wow... Its really warmed up suddenly."
Lincoln: "Its a Mega Taiga. Of course its warmer."
Naomi: "Wait! Its a Plains! Through the trees I see a plains!"
Tawkerr: "Really?"
Naomi: "Yes! Lets go!"
The trio ran towards the plains. A flat clearing perfect for towns to be built. Maybe that was what they would find. Maybe not.

## Chapter 14, Inkmaggeddon:

The Kracken gathered his magical ink powers. Ink started flying around him in a tornado shape. Than awesome sunglasses appeared on his face. He become an awesome Kracken and than he burst the ink everywhere. Wherever it landed mini flying squids appeared floating towards him. "MUAHAHHAHAA! THE INKMAGGEDDON HAS BEGUN!!" The mini squids laughed. "Mah mah mah mah mah mah." Than he flung more of the ink on the ground. Any foolish human to come across him and his army would perish, drowning in ink. It was brilliant.

## Chapter 15, Warnings:

Tawkerr: "I... I feel like I am melting.."
Lincoln: "I feel fine."
Tawkerr: "You don't have fur."
Lincoln: "I am aware of that."
Naomi: "Get used to it, Tawkerr."
Tawkerr: "I have never been in a plains, ok?"
Naomi: "We should get ready to stop somewhere for the night. We got far today but I see the sun setting."
The trio started to gather blocks from nearby trees. Tawkerr didn't, he found a nearby river and dug out some flint and grabbed some twigs and made a mini pickaxe and started collecting stone. It would be better for the world than trees which were being cut down when stone is stronger and more common. After they all had about two stacks of their materials they built small huts which connected. They collected grass for beds and put it down to sleep for the night.

The next morning they woke up to the ground being covered in ink and the ponds and rivers were overloaded with squids.
Tawkerr: "Does anyone else feel like thats not natural?"
Lincoln: "Yes."
Naomi: "I feel like we aren't ready for what is going to happen.."
Tawkerr: "Well we are going to have to get stronger tools. Wood wont cut it and as you can see I built my shelter out of stone."
Naomi: "How did you do that without cutting down wood?"
Tawkerr: "I used flint from a nearby river and some twigs I found to make a mini flint pickaxe."
Lincoln: "Genius."
Naomi: "I used to be a miner, a few years ago. We will get lucky down underground with me."
Tawkerr: "What do you mean?"
Lincoln: "Well see one time Naomi went missing for almost a year and she doesn't remember what happened so I think that she met a witch who made her have magic luck.
Naomi: "that is probably what I would have said."

## Chapter 16, Mining:

After about 30 minutes Lincoln came out of his tunnel reporting that he found a cave. The trio all followed him through the twisting and turning cave into an TREMENDOUS cave. It was full of crystals and gems in the walls. "Its the most beautiful thing I have ever seen..." Said Tawkerr. They went through the cave with their pickaxes prying any rare or useful minerals out of their hiding spots.

After they finished they came out with tons of iron, rubies, emeralds, coal, peridot and quartz. Tawkerr had collected at least one of everything he saw. That was difficult though. After they exited the mine Lincoln put the iron into the furnaces while Naomi put quartz into some other furnaces while Tawkerr just looked at all his new things doing nothing useful at all. In the end they all had iron tools. Tawkerr questioned why they needed swords so badly but Naomi and Lincoln pretended not to have heard him. They didn't want to tell him. They deconstructed their shelters and left to continue north. In the distance Tawkerr could have sworn he saw a giant flying squid. That was rediculous. They continued again and Naomi thought the saw the same thing. Also thought she was going crazy. The same thing happened to Lincoln. So he said "Did you guys see that? I think I saw a flying squid." "Yeah I uh.. I saw it too." "Me too." After a few minutes they all saw it and all said "There it is!" Maybe it was just a coincidence but it seemed to be looking right at them. And flying right at them. Hmm... Oh well. Wait its coming right for them. Naomi said "Guys prepare for a fight." "B-b-but we w-won't have to k-k-kill it? R-right?" Said Tawkerr.

## Chapter 17, The Fight:

The trio backed up with their swords ready. Well, except Tawkerr. The creature in the distanced bellowed "I AM THE MIGHTY KRACKEN. YOU SHALL BOW DOWN TO ME OR YOU SHALL PERISH!" "I dont think so, Tim" Said Naomi. The beast shot ink at them but missed. They thought they were safe but than the ink spawned flying squids in it's place. The squids tried to grab them but Naomi and Lincoln killed them "Why couldn't we have just ran?!" Said Tawkerr. No one answered. Naomi and Lincoln shot arrows into The Kracken so he screamed "OY! YOU FOOLS SHALL REGRET THAT. NOW DIIIIIIIIIE!!!" Than suddenly he shot 5 jet black bombs at them. When the bombs exploded they exploded and left ink blinding the trio. Naomi and Lincoln stopped their fire when they were blinded. It only lasted a few seconds than they could see again and Naomi and Lincoln started firing more arrows "YOU CAN'T KILL MEEEEE!!!!!" bellowed The Kracken. They still continued their arrows. The Kracken must have had low HP. "NO NO NO NO STOP!!!" "After you tried to kill us? Nope." Said Naomi. "Guys! Don't kill him! Please just let him go!" Said Tawkerr. "I WONT HURT YOU! I WILL LEAVE!!!" The Kracken's screams were almost deafening. He tried to fly away. "Stop!" Said Tawkerr. Naomi and Lincoln were still trying to kill him. Than Naomi shot an arrow with so much power everything seemed to be in slow motion. Sparks jetted out of the arrow as it spun through the air. Than it hit The Kracken in the back destroying his flying machine. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" The Kracken fell into the ocean safely. And the trio were safe.

## Chapter 18, The End:

Naomi: "See? We didn't kill him."
Tawkerr: "That was your intention."
Naomi: "Well uh, yeah but now he is back in the ocean and can't kill us."
Tawkerr: "Fine"
Lincoln: "What do we do now?"
Naomi: "Well when we were mining I got my hands on some obsidian."
They were silent for a few seconds.
Naomi: "Do you see where this is going?"
Lincoln: "Its too dangerous."
Naomi: "The nether is safer than the overworld at night."
Tawkerr: "The nether?"
Lincoln: "Well than what are we going to do about him? He wouldn't make it in there so long with that fur."
Naomi: "He'll be fine. 1 block in the overworld is 7 blocks in the nether. We could get so much further in there."
Lincoln: "Your right. Lets do it."
Naomi built a 5x4 portal of obsidian and crafted a flint and steel. Than struck the flint and steel in the portal. Suddenly a swirling purple wall appeared in the portal. The portal had been opened. "After you, Gem" Said Naomi. Lincoln went through the portal and dissapeared. Than Naomi. Tawkerr was alone. He thought very carefully about what to do next. And went into the portal.
