Chapter 4: A Plan Forms

Location: Spawn Town. Guude’s house:

Guude stood in the center of the multicolored room at his newly built house. The other mindcrackers stood in front of him waiting to hear him speak.

“We have been invaded by an enemy like none we have ever faced before. They are cunning and willing to attack without warning. They also have the ability to impersonate our own. He/she/it, we don’t know, attacked Zisteau at his lens and he had to initiate the self destruct so that its weapons did not fall in to their hands. We are not sure how many are in the enemy numbers, so far there is only one, but it could be more. I’m looking for ideas on what to do,” Guude finished looking at the crowd expectantly.

Bdouble0 was the first to speak up, “I say we just find them and attack, we’re great at PVP. We could take them down.”

“Yeah it shouldn’t be too hard,” added Milbee.

“No, this guy was tougher than any I’ve seen, he is at a whole other level. A straight forward attack would be suicide if there are more of them,” Zisteau said looking Bdubs in the eyes.

“Maybe we could set a trap,” Pakratt chimed in. He looked around and a few gave some nods of approval.

Guude surveyed the crowd. These were basic ideas that anyone would have come up with but they needed more originality. He didn’t blame them though, they were all very sure of their abilities. “Kurt, did you…?” he let the question hang in the air, not wanting to finish it.

Kurt sighed, “Yeah, I’ll do it. I need some help if I’m going to-“ He stopped abruptly as the door behind them open and everyone turned to see Baj enter the room.

“I see you started without m-“ Baj said, suddenly stopping as he saw himself seated at the meeting. Everyone turned to look as the silent Baj stood from his position in the center of the crowd. Shree and MCGamer both turned to hold him but he pulled out a sword and struck them. He jumped backwards and switched to his bow, firing a flaming volley at the new Baj before throwing an enderpearl out the nearby window. Pause and Etho both turned to the injured Shree and MCGamer to check on their wounds. They were badly hurt but would be ok.

Baj had been hit in the chest plate with an arrow and only a quick bucket of water kept him from dying. “Good thing I wore projectile protection today…” he said.

Guude turned to Kurt, “Write down whatever supplies you need and I’ll get them to you.” Kurt quietly nodded.

“We should probably send a team to check out the lens, make sure he wasn’t able to salvage anything,” Zisteau added. Pause and BTC both stood volunteering to go with Zisteau.

“Alright then, at least we have something planned.” Guude finished as he started to write down jobs for everyone.
