Right-Hand Men

**Right-Hand Men** are several characters featured on *The Altered Adventure* Minecraft series. They début in the fourth episode of the first volume.

## History

Before Gizzy's Arrival

Right-Hand Men are servants to Guardians who have been bound to their masters by a signature agreement. This ritual makes Right-Hand men do whatever their master orders them to do. If they do not do what they're told, they will die. Other than death, the only known way to be unbounded by the signature agreement is to be enthroned as a Guardian. ("Cruise", "Origin")

The Green Bloods, a primitive species known for their precious skin, are hunted down by a gang of men called the Bowsmen to make profit off of their hide. The Green Bloods are drawn to almost complete extinction by the Bowsmen. Ratchet, one of the last Green Bloods, is discovered, along with his family, by the hunters and is attacked. During the slaughter, Ratchet manages to escape, and assumes he's the last of his unfortunate kind. Soaked in blood, fatally wounded, Ratchet finds a man named Witch, a powerful sorcerer, and begs him to help him. Pitying the man, Witch decides to help Ratchet, tending to his wounds with his magic. Choosing to repay him for saving his life, Ratchet offers himself to serve Witch. The magician accepts his proposal by making the Green Blood his Right-Hand Man, bound by the signature agreement. ("The Green Bloods")

During Gizzy's Arrival

Ratchet reunites with Witch and Voice in the desert after returning from another universe. Witch is distraught after learning that his brother, Aurona, didn't come back with them and becomes angry at Voice for giving such little care for the loss of his sibling. To teach him a lesson for using him as a simple pawn, Witch uses his voodoo magic to remove Voice's body, making him a consciousness floating in the air. As punishment for treason and attacking a Guardian, Voice de-thrones Witch and gives the earth element to Ratchet. Voice leaves the two to go find Gizzy, while Ratchet stays back with his former master. Witch tells him to do whatever it takes to stop Voice's plans and make sure Gizzy doesn't reach the Prophecy. Ratchet questions him on why this Gizzy person is so important, but Witch tells him he'll know soon enough. ("Origin")

Cib arrives in the Altered Universe. He lands in a body of water where he ironically starts drowning. Ratchet hears the duck's cries for help and uses his flying abilities to help him. Revealing to him that he's The Earth Guardian of the Altered Universe, He uses his once a full-moon teleport to take them both safely to land. Cib asks if he knows if his friends arrived in this universe, but he says he could only find him because of his loud cries for help. As payment for saving his life, the man decides to make Cib his Right-Hand Man, meaning he must do whatever he says without hesitation. They make the agreement official with the signature agreement. ("Cruise")

After arriving in the Altered Universe and being separated fro his friend, Yoshi meets Inferno, the Fire Guardian. Inferno makes Yoshi his Right Hand Man and starts calling him "creature". In order to make this agreement, Yoshi had to complete the signature agreement, which ensures that he must obey his master no matter what, or else he dies. ("Lucky Block Cavern", "Ratchet and the Ritual")

Volume One

Under Ratchet's orders, Cib murders an entire village filled with multiple villagers with TNT. Along with his master, Cib is teleported to Cloud Temple for a trial, judged by the other Guardians. The two reveal their crimes, to which the Guardians deem guilty and think of dethroning Ratchet. Instead, they let the Green Blood keep his Guardian status, but is put on his last warning, should he ever do anything else of such severity. Also, as punishment, Inferno kills Cib in front the whole tribunal, and then sends Ratchet back to the mainland. ("The Last Warning")

Volume Two

Yoshi, commanded by Inferno, is ordered to kill Gizzy at his house. As commanded, he places blocks of TNT within the sanctuary, planning for Gizzy to blow up once he walks into the front door. Unfortunately, upon his arrival, Gizzy manages to spot the explosives prior and enters the domain through the back. He finds Yoshi on the second floor, surprised he didn't die. The creature explains that he needs to kill him, or else his own life will be taken. Gizzy tries to get help from Witch who's nearby the area, but is too late as Yoshi lay dead on the ground, unable to have killed his friend. ("Waiting for Superman")

## Signature Agreement

This is an agreement between a guardian and someone else. They have to follow their guardians orders, without hesitation, or they can be killed. They then punch each other to complete it. It is a sacred bond, and cannot be broken. ("Cruise")
