Note: Most of the characters are based upon the minecraft skins of that person. Just so you know. Also swearwords have been censored for the children. I will add future parts of the story to this thread so stay tuned.
Part 1: Lost in the Snow
The snow billowed around the party like a group of ghosts barn dancing. The nearest settlement was close, according to the maps, however the snow turned the world into a plain sheet, making it impossible to see more than a foot in front of your face. Joe’s black cloak billowed in the wind behind him, and the gem in the centre of his chest still shone bright, as testament to the lord of light's power. Osypiw’s thin elven garments barely shielded him against the cold, but his elven blood gave him the stamina to resist the biting cold. Md’s beard caught snow flakes like a spider’s web, so where once it had been a rippling, golden ocean of hair, now it more resembled a baby polar bear nuzzling into his neck. Lazeekat was probably best prepared for the cold, as she had dressed in thick firs, so that she resembled something somewhere between a Stark and a horde of disgruntled foxes.
‘We have to get to shelter!’
Lazee called from the front of the group, as they trecked in single file through the snow.
‘If we knew where shelter was!’
Grumbled MD from the back, shaking his beard to dislodge the snowdrift that had formed there. Osypiw pulled a map from his cloak, and struggled to steady it against the ever-worsening blizzard.
‘Forward! If we keep going forward it should be about 300 yards in front of us!’
The quartet strode boldly onward through the waves of white that bombarded them. Their mission had been to retrieve a package that had landed far out in the wilderness, and they had been mostly successful until this point.
‘’Do you still have that blasted thing Joe?’
Called MD from the back of the column.
‘Aye I do!’
Joe reached a hand into his pocket and brandished a small object wrapped around with leather.
Suddenly the swirling storm came to a sudden stop. The sky echoed on above, stars stretching to infinity.
‘I do not like this.’
Muttered MD. His hand reaching for the bow on his back. Something was moving up there in the darkness, something dark and terrible, and heading at tremendous speed towards the party. It struck the ground with the force of a truck. The ground cracked around it and the party was thrown back into the snow.
‘WHAT THE F**K.’
Joe cried in surprise as he climbed from the snow, in a state of shock. The object was a portal. A glowing purple portal, standing in the field, as bold as brass. Something was emerging through the portal. A human figure, but twisted and moulded into the body of an animal. As it neared is became apparent that it was a man on horseback. He was clad in diamond gear that glistened like stars in the night. In his hand he held a glittering blue sword and in his other hand he held a small, black device.
The party steadied themselves after the initial shock of the portal’s impact.
‘And who the F**k do you think you are?’
Called Joe, an tone of annoyance in his voice. The man was silent as he raised his blade, kicked his horse, and galloped at full speed towards them. Joe was first to step forward. He drew lightbringer with a dramatic flourish and raised it before him to block the swing of the rider’s sword. The two blades met with a resounding CLANG! And Joe staggered back. The rider slowed to a trot behind him, and turned to make another charge at the party. Md raised his bow and took a shot at the rider. The shaft pierced his shining blue armour but this seemed to have no effect of the rider.
The rider came at them again. Osy span his blade in typical elven fashion, Lazee drew her blade and pulled her arms back to swing the great two-handed weapon. Joe was back on his feet, lightbringer at the ready. Md drew two sharp throwing axes, and as the rider charged, the party leapt into action. Md’s axe flew into the horse’s breast and the animal cried in pain, its body twisting and writhing into the ground. Osy’s blade span to decapitate the tortured animal. Lazee and Joe leapt forward to finish the rider, but as soon as the snow had settled the rider was back on his feet, his sword raised to block both their strikes. The rider flung them off as if they weighed nothing. Quickly they scrambled to their feet, ready to resume combat, but suddenly an unmistakable noise pierced the quiet night.
The groan and creak of a TARDIS materialising echoed through the night, as the whole party turned to see the blue box open, and iwasnumber4 to poke his head out.
‘What the heck is going on here?’
He called from across the clearing. In response to this new interruption, the rider raised the device, pushed buttons on its surface, and the unmistakable fizzle of TNT was heard by all. The party looked up and saw the flashing white cubes begin to fall from the sky.
‘RUN!’
Iwas cried, and the party took heed. The bolted for the TARDIS, but as soon as they began their sprint, the rider leapt for them in pursuit. The first wave of explosions rang around them as the ground was torn apart. Joe leapt a spinning boulder as it flew across his path. Md ducked as splinters from annihilated trees flew past his face. The TARDIS got nearer and nearer. 50 yards, 30, 10.
As the final wave of explosions echoed behind him, Joe leapt into the blue box, swiftly followed by MD and Lazee. He turned to see Osy following suit, only to watch as he was stopped mid-leap, and yanked back to where the rider stood, clutching his cloak. Osy yelled in defiance, and writhed, seeking freedom. The rider began to advance on the small blue box, dragging osy behind him. As he was about the enter, the doors swung shut.
“OSY!’
Joe cried in shock and rage.
‘We have to go back and get him!’
Joe ran for the doors, a defiant look staining his face, until iwas grabbed him by the shoulder.
‘Joe, we’re already gone.
‘No!’
Joe pushed iwas to the floor, and ripped the doors open to see the time vortex spiralling before him. He swung the doors shut again, and sank to his knees in despair. Lazee and MD came to his side.
‘I promise you Joe, we will get him back.’
Lazee said soothingly.
‘Aye, she’s right, we’re gonna get that one back. And teach that diamond prick a lesson and all!’
Joe rose to his feet, tears could be seen streaking his face.
‘So be it.’
Joe strode from the main control room, his head raised as if to defy the truth. As he strode to the door, he fell to the floor, and yelped in pain. He looked down to see a long, bloody splinter extending from his abdomen. MD rushed to him, and he and Lazee carried him to a bed I the sickbay, where they left the TARDIS’s systems to get to work. Iwas pulled levers and pushed buttons at the main control panel, and MD and Lazee walked over to him.
‘What the hell was that.’
Md questioned bluntly.
‘That, was a hacker.’
Iwas looked tense and on-edge.
‘I thought we had something to deal with these people?’
Lazee and MD looked up at iwas, expecting a simple answer.
‘We did, but as you can see, it didn’t work. I came here as soon as I felt the disturbance. Something has gone terribly wrong.
‘So what are we supposed to so now?’
‘Head back to Tim, and find out what we’re supposed to do next.’
LAzee and MD head off to go check on Joe, as the small blue craft span though time and space.
