I Blame My Evil Clone

Chapter 7: A Failure to Rescue

"Let him go. You don't have to worry about the prophecy thingy, we'll go right back to our dimension," I say.

"Not good enou-” Evil-Ty is cut off when Sky yanks the sword from his grasp. He gasps as Sky stands up and presses the sword to his stomach.

"Excuse me?" Sky asks, and for a second, a bit of his old self shines through. He grins and his red eyes sparkle. "I thought I heard you say gold. But this," he drives the sword straight through Evil-Ty, "is obviously budder."

Evil-Ty gasps. "N-No... Y-You worthless, unwanted i-idiot..." And then he dies.

With his last words, he called my best friend a worthless, unwanted idiot.

The heck, man?

I walk over to Sky and encase him in a hug. "Don't believe the lies, Sky," I say.

Sky shakes his head and whispers, "I'm trying."

"C'mon, let's go home," I say quietly. Sky tries to walk with me to the door, but he nearly collapses.

"I-It hurts," he mumbles.

I lean him up against the wall and stand back to look over him. My gosh, how has he stayed standing this long? He must have used most of his strength just by standing up and taking Evil-Ty's sword. "Oh my Notch... Sky..." I turn to Jason. "Can you stand on his left? I'll stand on his right, and we can help him walk." Jason nods and we each put one of Sky's arms over our shoulders.

Sky shakes his head. "I'm f-fine," he stutters.

"No, you're not."

"Y-Yes, I am."

"No. You can barely even stand on your own!"

"Fine... but I need to do something first. Could you help me to that block over there?" he asks. I nod, and Jason and I walk him over. He reaches through a barely noticeable hole in the wall and does something.

"What are you doing?" Mitch asks.

"Out, out, out," Sky replies, pushing us toward the door.

"Why?"

"Just do it! Trust me, please!" he begs. I take his arm and start to help him to the exit. "Hurry, hurry!" We try to go faster, but with Sky in his condition... Why does he want us out of here so badly, anyway? "Just go, I'll be fine!" he shouts, pushing me and Jason forward. Again, what the heck are we running from? I turn around quickly to face him, and I can see in his eyes that whatever it is, he doesn't quite believe that he's going to make it through it.

"No, Sky. We're not leaving you. What are we even running from?" Jason asks.

Sky sighs. "I knew you'd be like this. So I planned ahead. Just give me a few seconds..." About two seconds pass, and then a budder gun pops into his hands. "Don't worry. It won't hurt."

My eyes widen as I realize what he's planning. "Sky, no!" I yell, but he ignores me.

"Sorry," he whispers, and then he blasts us through the door, all the way to the portal.

We look up at the building. Immediately, several budder creepers spawn. And after sensing Sky... They all blow up. "SKY!" I scream. I try to run back toward the building, but Mitch and Jerome hold me back.

"Ty, creepers are spawning everywhere, if one of them sees us... We have to go," Jerome says.

"No, we have to find Sky!"

"No... Sky is g-gone, Ty," Jason sniffles. "There's n-nothing we can do."

An explosion sounds in the distance. "Creepers are all over this dimension! We have to go!" Mitch shouts.

Jerome pushes me through the portal as another patch of creepers explodes. Seto is right there when I cross back to our dimension. "Did you save Sky?" he asks.

"Yes... And then no," Jerome answers beside me.

"What happened?"

"We got him out of his cell, and he killed Evil-Ty, but then he blew everything up."

"...What?"

While Mitch explains everything a little more clearly, I stare at the portal. We should probably close it so none of the creepers come through, but that would be admitting that Sky is not coming. Seto sees me staring. "Oh... Well... I guess, since Sky isn't c-coming, we should shut down the portal..." He sighs and throws a black potion at the floor, and the portal shudder and closes up.

"Oh! Evil-Sky is still here!" Jason exclaims. Yeah, he's right. We should probably take care of that.

Everyone leaves, but I hang back a bit. "We'll miss you, Sky," I whisper to the empty room. "And you'll always be my best friend."

*It's not Skylox. It's just bestest friends.

** Is it 'anyway' or 'anyways'?

Do you guys want me to start doing this starry thing instead of interrupting the story with an author's note? I can do it either way. Oh, and this story only has, like... *runs away to count all the chapters* Here we go, two more chapters and an epilogue, plus a bonus chapter if you want it, which would explain the whole old-lady thing Sky was talking about- OH WAIT! YOU HAVEN'T READ THAT YET! MY BAD! I'LL SHUT UP NOW!

Okay, one last thing. If ever you find yourself bored, you should listen to Taylor Swift or 1GN, or maybe watch Skydoesminecraft. But, if ever you find yourself REALLY bored, you should check out my youtube channel. Seriously though, it should be your last resort. It probably won't cure your boredom. Actually, it probably will. My videos are so horrific that it's funny.

Okay, they're not terrible, but they're not good either. Most of them are speed-builds, 'cause I like those. Someday soon I'll get off my lazy butt and buy some recording equipment so I can do a Let's Play series, but for now... Just Speed-Builds.

So yeah. Check it out. My channel name is either Hannah H. or hghrules... I can't remember. I don't know. Just go. Just go check it out. Please. PLEASE. (EDIT: if you type in "hghrulez" my channel will show up titled "Hannah H".)

Bai, Rulers. :3
