《The Fallen Council》XXIII
Advertisement
I was horrified as I looked into Yenny's eyes. We both knew that the voice had been the female's. Chet and Meadow looked horrified too, but they didn't know about the female.
"What the hell was that?!" Chet exclaimed.
"That's exactly what we wanted to talk about in this meeting," My voice wasn't louder than a whisper, but I knew everyone could hear it clearly.
The door was opened and the chaotic trio that included; Meluwyn Mao Moonfall, Sherenidy Cassia Blackwood and Ulvoqirax Upton Vixen, entered the room.
"What's with this atmosphere?" Sherenidy asked curiously.
"We heard a terrifying voice," Chet spoke out. "Apparently ̇/ᒷꖎ and ||ᒷリ are going to tell more about it soon," He continued.
The trio turned serious and nodded. They came back to their seats. Mao looked at the clock and sighed, "Where is everyone else? The meeting is starting soon!" He exclaimed.
Sherenidy raised her glare and counted us, "There's six of us and there's supposed to be around twenty-seven, no, twenty-six since ⊣𝙹↸╎ is unconscious," She spoke out.
"No, there's twenty-eight of us, without ⊣𝙹↸╎ there's twenty-seven," Mao fixed.
"Shit! Well, I'm not the owner of The Council's one and only braincell!" Sherenidy exclaimed.
"That's true, The Council's only braincell is ᓵ⍑ᒷℸ ̣'s," Mao mentioned.
"The players think that every one of us has braincells, but that's not true," I spoke out. "The Council has only one braincell and it's ᓵ⍑ᒷℸ ̣'s," I continued.
"Sad, but true," Upton nodded.
"We don't need braincells or positive IQ," Sherenidy mentioned. "We can just do shit like we want to and then be fucked up because we have no idea what we're doing," She continued.
"That's what we do," Mao smirked nodding in agreement.
"That's why The Council is such a mess," A female voice spoke out from the backdoor.
I turned around to see a blonde Main admin leaning against the doorframe with a smirk on her face.
"Oh, Unneless Edita Fade! You're a mess too!" Sherenidy smirked.
The blonde admin grinned at her full name, "At least you didn't use one of those shitty nicknames," She mumbled.
"What did you say ᒷ↸↸╎ᒷ?" Sherenidy gave her an innocent smirk.
"Never mind.." She groaned and made her way to her seat next to Chet.
"You know where the others are?" Mao asked running a hand through his brunette hair.
"⍑ᔑ||ꖎ╎ᒷ is running some quick test to make sure everyone is alright and the rest are on their way, I guess," Edita shrugged.

"Basically we are the only members who are actually fine and not badly injured," Upton sighed.
"Count ⍑ᔑ||ꖎ╎ᒷ instead of me, I'm apparently badly injured," Edita sighed.
"There's eight of us then," Chet counted, being the only one with a braincell.
"Yay, now we can go and kick Oneuses ass without dying!" Sherenidy exclaimed dramatically before hitting her head on the table.
"Oneus isn't even that strong, it's just Zanax with her Witchcraft," I pointed out.
"So basically, if we get Zanax out of the way, we can easily take care of him?" Upton asked.
Everyone raised their heads and looked at me and Upton.
"I mean that it's possible. Oneus is just a Watcher, I could easily beat him and so could any of us," I shrugged.
"And with some TNT we could easily do a distraction!" Sherenidy exclaimed excitedly.
"We have eight of us here. Let's see," Mao spoke out. "Four of us can take care of the TNT, one of Zanax and two of Oneus," He continued.
"ᒷ↸↸╎ᒷ and Techno, who probably wants to help us, can be another distraction with some Nether creatures!" Sherenidy decided.
"||ᒷリ, ᒲᒷᔑ, ⚍!¡ and ᓵ⍑ᒷℸ ̣, you three can take the TNT. I can deal with that bitch and ᒲᔑ𝙹 and ̇/ᒷꖎ can go after Oneus," She continued.
We all agreed. Edita went to get The Blade while Yen, Mea, Chet and Up went to get TNT. Me and Mao headed to the weapons room to get Mao's blade.
He quickly found his own Void-weapon, Shadowsteel. I had already picked up Peacekeeper ans Silencer earlier.
Now we headed to the hallway where the others were waiting. We quickly discussed our plan before heading towards the Portal Hub.
The End was clod, but everyone was used to it. Yenny, Upton and Chet were the only ones of them who had been born there. Meadow, Sherenidy, Edita and Technoblade were from the Original Nether and Xelqua and Mao from Overworld. But everyone was used to The End's air.
"Does everyone know the plan?" Sherenidy asked turning to look at everyone.
"Yes!" Everyone answered.
"Good, let's go!" The pumpkin haired female smirked.
The group separated. Xelqua was left with Mao and Sherenidy. They started heading towards the Watchers Academy moving in the shadows.
"You know the Academy well, right?" Mao asked from the dirty blonde.
He nodded, "I spent six years of my life there with ̇/ᒷリ, I know it pretty well," He said.
"Good, because I've never been there," Mao nodded.
"I haven't either," Sherenidy jumped to the conversation. " ̇/ᒷꖎ is the only one of us who knows the place, which means he's in the lead," She smirked.

"Oh great, not again," Xelqua muttered.
Mao and Sherenidy giggled.
"You're actually the oldest of us three," Mao pointed out.
"Oh right, I already forgot that," Xelqua realized.
"We two have five years age gap since you're twenty-five and I'm twenty," Mao spoke out thoughtfully.
"I can say the same," The fifteen years old female mumble making the other two laugh.
"Well, there's the Academy," Xelqua mentioned looking at the huge building in front of them.
"And I didn't even notice that! Looks like I'm blind," Sherenidy sighed.
"So now we're just waiting for the distraction to start?" Mao asked tilting his head.
"Apparently, first comes the TNT and then the Nether one," Xelqua thought out loud.
The sat in silence waiting for the first TNT to blow up. Then they would spread their wings and fly to the Academy.
Xelqua used his Watcher mask to see further away in the distance, Sherenidy did the same. Mao just decided to keep an eye on what's happening nearby since he didn't have a Watcher mask.
Soon something purple appeared in the distance. Xelqua focused on it. A Main Watcher's dark purple cloak and it's owner, Chet.
"There they are," He whispered.
Mao turned to look at the direction. He couldn't see him yet.
"There's ᒷ↸↸╎ᒷ and Techno," Sherenidy pointed out.
"Oh, I can see them!" Mao exclaimed as he looked into the distance where Edita and Techno were hiding behind chorus fruit trees, or whatever they were.
Xelqua quickly peeked to see the two Nether-borns before turning back to Chet's direction. He could now also see Upton.
"Soon," He mumbled.
"What about the Academy's students?" Mao asked.
"Shit! We forgot about them!" Sherenidy mumbled.
"Most of them will be sent to the battle when the TNT comes. But the rest are easy to handle, the can't resist Mains' orders," Xelqua spoke out.
"If they attack, don't hurt them. Just knock them out with a smoke spell," Sherenidy continued.
"Are we going to kill Oneus or are we going to take him with us?" Xelqua asked not moving his eyes from the Main's in the distance.
"Let's kill him," Sherenidy decided.
"I agree, let's kill him," Mao nodded.
"Then we'll kill him," Xelqua agreed.
They all turned to look around as the first TNT blew up. The Watchers stormed out of the Academy shouting to each other in Galactic.
Xelqua raised his hand silently waiting for the perfect moment to come. Then he let it down and they all took off flying straight to the Watchers Academy.
They quickly sneaked through the door and made it inside. Sherenidy let her glare wander outside. She saw Zanax and gave the others thumbs up before flying outside. Now Xelqua and Mao were on their own, ready to go and kill Oneus.
"Let's go straight to the main hall, that's where he would most likely be," Xelqua decided.
"Alright," Mao nodded.
Xelqua started heading towards the main hall Mao following him. They made their way through the empty halls quietly. The main hall was on the other side of the huge building.
They froze as they heard talking. They stood in silence against the wall. A couple of Watchers ran past them without even noticing them. They continued their way after the Watchers disappeared elsewhere.
"This place is a mess," Mao mumbled quietly.
"Like an endless labyrinth," Xelqua added quietly.
They heard the fighting noises outside. The distraction was going well from what they could hear, which was great. But also that meant Oneus would know they were here and ready to kill him.
"We're there soon," Xelqua spoke out quietly as they got closer to the main hall.
"Do you think there will be guards?" Mao asked.
"Probably, maybe even Ezorh," Xelqua shrugged. He wasn't exactly sure how things worked under Oneuses control.
"You can go for Oneus and I'll take care of the possible guards," Mao suggested.
"Sounds good," Xelqua nodded.
Then he stopped in front of a huge Obsidian door.
"Obsidian door, eh?" Mao mumbled.
"Last time it was bedrock," Xelqua casually shrugged.
"Hold up-" Mao looked shocked, Xelqua just smirked.
"He should be here," Xelqua's voice was now serious.
Mao nodded and looked at the door. The looked at each other one last time before Xelqua put his hands on the cold Obsidian. He pushed the doors opened and they stepped into a dark room.
The room was full of Obsidian with black and purple blocks. Some endstone was also visible in some part. From the ceiling was hanging a huge diamond chandelier. But the thing that caught the Mains' attention was the huge netherite throne in the other side of the room. And on the throne was of course sitting, who else than Oneus himself!
"Looks like we can finally fight together Mains! Be ready to lose!"
The war had begun...

I wager that there is no difference. But what will he think?
