Chapter 27 - The Climb

[You have received a message from Lucy Hunt]

Mikey finally comes back to his senses.

What's happening? Why am I still fighting?

Mikey looks around and sees the Ultimate Chicken Horse Kraken being chased by four zombies. He quickly dashes through all the monsters around him and catches up to UCHK. Once he does he grabs it and starts running towards the mountain.

He reaches the mountain and starts ascending it while holding the ultimate monster in his hands.

(A few seconds later)

Mikey looks behind himself. There is atleast one hundred various monsters chasing him, mostly consisting of zombies and skeletons.

Mikey would love to just pass out on the ground and give up, no human could describe the physical pain that he is going through. Mikey himself doesn't realize how can he keep running forward, he feels the pain but doesn't react to it, as if he was a meditating monk.

The pain obviously comes from his injuries but also the fact that he had to fight for so long without taking a break at all.

The pain that he is going through right now could be compared to being pierced by one thousand needles at once, all over your body... over and over.

Three endermen appear in front of Mikey. He pulls out his duskblade and attacks the middle one. It teleports away before Mikey can hit it, hitting it however was not Mikey's intention.

He squeezes in between the two other endermen, they swing his hands at him but Mikey is too fast for them.

About thirty seconds later Mikey finds a small "cave." He managed to lose the monsters that were following him, that's why he decides to hide in the cave and pray that the monsters won't find him.

Mikey blocks off the entrance with a bunch of wood. He then lights up the inside of the cave with a few torches. His breathing is extremely heavy.

Mikey eventually calms down which ends up being a bad thing. The adrenaline slowly leaves his body and the pain starts becomimg absolutely unbearable.

Mikey clenches his fists in pain. The pain is so bad that he literally passes out on the spot.

Mikey finally wakes up, drenched in sweat, his body still hurts, but not as much. The reason he woke up was because of how loud the monsters outside were.

"It seems that so many of them have spawned since I was asleep, that they might have filled up the entire mountain." Mikey says to himself.

He's quite hungry and thirsty, thankfully he still has a lot of food, he made sure that he hunted enough animals that it would last him for the next trial aswell. Same goes for water.

Mikey starts eating, the UCHK comes up to him, as if it was asking for food.

Mikey, out of pity throws it a half of a steak. The UCHK eats it right away.

Mikey notices that all the wounds have dissapeared from UCHK's body.

Does that mean that it still has its regenerative powers? Mikey thinks to himself. It seems that if the ultimate monster wants to heal itself, it just needs to eat food. Pretty much the same as in the original Minecraft version.

Mikey ends up eating almost three kilograms of food. His appetite just wouldn't go down. He didn't notice it until now, but eating really does help a lot in regenerating.

Mikey drinks two liters of water aswell. He's quite refreshed. He decides to stay in the cave for some time and prepare a strategy.

But first, Mikey destroys one of the wooden blocks which he used to cover the cave entrance. He takes a peek and looks around, the place is completely swarmed with monsters. Mikey can't even see the ground, the plants. Not a single part of the mountain, that's how many monsters there are.

Mikey takes a step back and blocks the entrance again.

"Well, well, well." He says. "I might just be completely f#€ked." He adds.

Mikey starts brainstorming on the spot. He's trying to come up with solutions to the issue at hand.

(About thirty minutes later)

Mikey breaks the entire blockade of the cave entrance.

He's holding the duskblade in his left hand and diamond sword in the right. The ultimate monster is standing on Mikey's head with its chicken legs.

The monsters notice Mikey and all of them start jumping at him.

Mikey easily dodges everyone, the problem is, there are so many monsters that they start LITERALLY PILLING UP ON HIM.

This entire situation looks like that one moment in rugby, when all players dive at the person who's running with the ball. That's actually the exact position which Mikey found himself in here, there's just one difference. The monsters that are jumping on him want to literally kill him.

Mikey punches his way out with his ultimate punch.

[You have activated an ability of the "Freestyle Fighter"]

Mikey jumps in the air and comes crashing back at the monsters.

(BOOM)

The monsters closest to Mikey are decimated, this gives him an opening to keep running.

A lot of monsters come jumping at him while he ascends the mountain further, he slashes all of them with his swords before they can reach him. The UCHK is holding on to Mikey's head throughout the whole process... It looks quite bizzare.

An arrow comes flying in Mikey's direction, it is however NOT directed at Mikey, but at UCHK instead!

Mikey jumps high up and knocks the arrow away with his sword. He spots the skeleton which had shot the arrow.

Mikey doesn't mind the skeleton and keeps running uphill while fighting the monsters that get in his way. The further up he runs, the less monsters there are, because they didn't have time to spawn all the way up where Mikey is right now.

Eventually, there are such a few monsters that Mikey stops running, he puts his swords away, puts the UCHK down from his head. And they start walking towards the mountain peak at a very average pace.

Mikey has now a clear vision of the mountain peak. He sees light and smoke coming out of it.

"Is that the place where I am supposed to sacrifice this guy?" Mikey asks himself as he looks at Ultomate Chicken Horse Kraken.

UCHK looks back at Mikey and shakes its horse head.

A few seconds later Mikey hears a noise coming from a nearby bush. He instinctively pulls out the duskblade and tells UCHK to stay behind him.

As expected, there was a zombie hiding in it, it dives at Mikey opening its mouth. Mikey pierces his sword right through its throat.

ANOTHER zombie jumps, but this time from behind Mikey. The zombie's target isn't Mikey, but the UCHK.

Mikey realizes that he can't protect UCHK in time. That's why he summons a spectral pirate right in front of the zombie. The spectral pirate pulls out his sabre and cuts off the zombie's head.

"Why didn't I think of this sooner?" Mikey asks himself as he summons three more spectral pirates.

Mikey and his spectral soldiers surround the UCHK like bodyguards and start moving towards the mountain's peak once again.
