Chapter Nine: Avenged




“Me and Kate will pick off the pigmen, Naomi, watch our backs, and Sammy, you get piggen.” Darth ordered. “Got it.” Sammy replied. Naomi pulled out a sword and shield and started to defend against the ghast fireballs. Meanwhile, Sammy was in a fight against Piggen. He wielded a very large battle axe, one that could do devastating damage in even a single hit. “You look familiar, have i seen you somewhere before?” Piggen asked. “Yeah, maybe,” Their axes collided. “like maybe all of the other battles we have had.” “No, no, you look like someone i have fought face to face before...” Sammy swung his axe hard, knocking Piggen back, then paused. “Did you get his name?” He asked. “Yes, i think i heard one of the rebels yell his name all of those years back... Noah, was it?” “What do you know about my brother...” “Oh, so you’re his brother huh? No wonder you looked so familiar.” Piggen said. “My name is Sammy, and Noah was my brother, now let me repeat that again, what do you know about him.” Sammy said in a dark tone. “Well, I’m going to have to kill you, so you might as well know... ...that you are going to get killed by the same pigman who killed your brother...” Everything around Sammy and Piggen faded out of focus. “You... what?” Piggen sneered. “You... WHAT?!” “Have a probl-“ Sammy charged at piggen out of pure rage. Piggen blocked and knocked him back. “Pathetic.” Piggen said. Sammy recklessly swung at Piggen, every swing being dodged or blocked. “You lost your form, is something wrong Sammy?” “You KILLED my brother!” He screamed. Sammy raised his axe in the air and tried to hit him from the top. Once his axe was halfway down he felt a blow in his left side, knocking the air out of him. It was Piggen’s axe. His armor shattered to pieces out of the sheer force put into that swing, and he was laying on the ground in pain. “See, i told you. Killed by the same person who killed your brother.” Piggen said. Just before piggen could lift his axe a blaze knight slammed into him, knocking him a distance away from Sammy. Kate ran over. “Come on Sammy, get up!”




All Sammy could hear is ringing and the vague sound of voices. Kate was above him trying to get him up. The ringing faded away. “Come on Sammy, not like this!” She said. “Ughhh...” Sammy groaned. “Can you walk?” “Barely.” She picked up Sammy and held him on her shoulder. “Darth! Order a retreat, leave some blaze knights here to keep them occupied.” Kate said. “Got it.” Just like that the wither skeletons were ordered off the field, and luckily they were able to get away. Back at the base, after healing up from a regeneration potion, Sammy was in a frenzy. He was in the training room trying to desperately get his new spell to work. He raised his hand in the air, pointed it at their training dummy, Buckethead, and tried to release as much power as possible. All that came out was a few red sparks. “Stupid spellbook!” He kept trying and trying, but there was no success, just a few sparks. Seris walked in. “Sammy, is everything all right?” He asked. “No! Nothing is alright! I just lost to the same person who killed Noah, my armor was shattered to pieces, and now i can’t master this stupid spell!” He tried again, but there was only more sparks. “Ok, so you wish to know how?” He stood next to him and held Sammy’s arm up. “First off, you want to calm down. Take a deep breath, and let it out. The spell won’t work if you can’t focus.” Sammy did as instructed. “Now, let the power flow through you.” Seris said. He closed his eyes and focused all of his energy to his hand. Red lighting shot out of it and struck Buckethead square in the bucket. “See how much easier that is? Take this as a lesson. No matter how infuriating the situation may be, keep your calm. It messes with your performance greatly. Magic or not.” “Yes Master.” Sammy said.




Sammy was heading for the door out of the base, he was wearing Noah’s armor that he picked up from the battlefield. “Sammy, where are you going?” Darth asked. “Back.” “Back?!” “Yes, back.” Sammy said firmly. “You can’t do that! Who knows what is waiting for you back there!” Darth said, trying to keep him from going. “Darth, let me do this.” Darth growled. “Fine, but I’m coming w-“ Seris stepped in and put his hand on Darth’s shoulder. “Darth, let him go. He needs to do this alone.” Darth sighed. “Fine, but be safe. I don’t want to lose anyone else.” Sammy smiled. “No need to worry.”




Sammy walked on to the battlefield. Piggen was there waiting for him. “I knew you would come back. They always do. So desperate for revenge.” Piggen said. “I have come to avenge, not get revenge. Not just Noah, but everyone you have killed.” They pulled out their axes. “I’m ready.” Sammy said. Piggen swung first. Sammy was able to dodge it and tried to hit him, but he missed. Sammy went for the strike this time, but Piggen blocked the attack with his axe. He forced Sammy back, then spun his axe around to hit him in the side again. Luckily for Sammy though he saw it coming and backed up. He then attacked while he still had an opening and hit Piggen in the head with his axe, knocking him down. Piggen got up, growling. “Ok now you just made me mad.” He had to have had a lot of life to take a hit like that, not surprising though for a brute like him. He started swinging at Sammy unpredictability to overwhelm him. Sammy was able to block, but he couldn’t find any openings. Soon enough Piggen tried to swing from above but Sammy blocked it. “Now’s my chance.” Sammy pushed his axes forward, knocking Piggen’s back up, then he went for a swing. Piggen saw this coming though and kicked Sammy in the chest, knocking him back a good few blocks. Piggen walked over to him. “Any last words?” Piggen asked. “Yeah, just two.” Sammy said. “I win.” He raised his hands up and shot red lightening at Piggen. He was desperately trying to block it with his axe. “How can you possibly learn this spell so fast?!” He yelled. “Years of training with magic from when I was very little, and the help from a mentor who already has experience with it.” Sammy said, continuing to shoot lightning. “You won’t get away with this, the Crimson Empire will find you!” Sammy chuckled. “Yeah, but at least then I will have once less enemy to deal with.” The lightning started to force its way past Piggen’s axe, and started flowing through his body. “NOO!!” He yelled, before exploding into steam, and dropping his armor on the ground. Sammy walked up to Piggen’s armor, then looked at his own. “You have been avenged.”




Sammy entered the rebel base. “I’m home!” Darth and Smithy quickly ran over. “Are you okay? Did you win?” Darth asked. “Yep. Noah, and anyone else Piggen may have killed, has been avenged.” “Phew, I thought you were a goner then.” Smithy punched Darth in the arm. “Ow, okay okay. But still though, we are glad your back.” Darth said. “Thanks.” Sammy said, smiling. “So what now?” Smithy asked. Darth smiled. “I say we move into our final stages. It’s time to take back the nether.”
