It was just another peaceful night at one of the villages in Minecraft.
And it was worth it, as the weather was cold and perfect for the snow to arrive and drive off all of the monsters and pillagers who dare to attack the village.
Speaking of which, the villagers were having a bit of a normal time being used to the winter, while also doing their norml job.
As the blacksmith was smithing, the chef was looking at some of his cookbook.
And of course, the gang of 5 Stickmen arriving through the nether portal.
With Blue being the first one to hop out of the portal first.
“Ah, feel that cold breeze everyone. Perfect for our mission today.” She said happily.
While she was prepared by wearing some winter clothes, the others weren’t
And due to it, they were all shivering in the cold.
“So cold.” Red said.
“Never in my lifetime have I ever felt this cold before.” Green said.
“Blue? What are we even doing in this cold?” Orange asked.
“Didn’t I tell you guys? {shows her friends a map.} On this map is a location to the ice crystal, and it’s hidden away in the mountains.” She explained.
“And why do we need to find it?” Yellow also asked.
“So that my alchemist skill can level up, and I’ll become a master at it, just like how I am with cooking.” She replied.
“Well if that’s what you want, then guess like we’ll have to come with you.” Orange said to his friend seeing that they have no choice.
“Really you mean it?” Blue asked happily.
“Yeah, since we’re friends. And that is what friends do.” Red said happily while trying his best to ignore the cold.
“Great! Then let’s go everyone!” Blue said happily.
So she gives the map to Yellow as they all head off to the mountains.
But then Red stops as he hears someone talking to him.
It was a female, elderly villager, who seems sceptical about what his friends are doing.
“I wouldn’t go to the mountains if I were you and your friends boy.” She said.
“What do you mean?” He asked.
“That there mountains, houses an ice version of the pillager, and he’s known as the Iceologer.” She replied.
“Is he, that bad?” Red asked again.
“Yeah, as he’ll be summoned and attacked by the anger of his victims, and if he does appear, then your screwed. As his favourite way of killing people is trapping them in ice or in a lake that is covered in ice. So beware of the Iceologer as he’ll certainly kill you and your friends.” She replied.
But her talking about the Iceologer did creeped Red a lot.
And scared him to the point where he run away from her in order to regroup with his friends.
But what they all don’t know is that the guy she was talking about, is real.
————————————————————————————————————————————————
After a walk through the forest while also battling some zombies and skeletons, the gang managed to get to the mountains.
“Alright guys, time to find that ice crystal.” Blue said to her friends.
“Yeah, if we find it’s exact location like the one on the map.” Yellow said.
And so, they all begin to look for the ice crystal while also encountering some stuff along the way.
Like a Goat, who proceeds to ram into Green which causes him to nearly fall to his death.
A Polar Bear cub, and it’s mother who tries to attack them for being close to her baby.
Powdered snow, which caused Yellow to nearly sink into.
And finally an ordinary snowy tree.
Until Yellow makes a not so good news.
“Yellow, do you even know where we’re going?” Blue asked.
“Uh no, as it turns that I’m not that good with reading maps.” Yellow nervously replied.
“What?” Everyone except yellow said.
“What do you mean, you can’t read maps?” Blue said angrily.
“Don’t yell at me, I’m only an red stone engineer, not a map reader! I’m trying my best to do things.” Yellow said being scared at her friend yelling at her.
“So Blue, does that mean we’re lost now?” Green asked.
“No, no, not lost, more like we read the maps wrong.” Blue said nervously.
“How could you not know that yellow can’t read?” Orange said angrily.
“What do you mean by that?” Blue asked.
“I already knew, she couldn’t read, yet you still made her read the map despite it?” Orange continues to say angrily.
“Woah, woah, woah. Why are you being angry at me, I’m the one organising this mission.” Blue said trying to defend herself.
“Look we all have different roles. I’m the leader, Yellow’s the engineer, Green’s the builder and Red’s the animal lover. Your’e just the impulsive and arrogant alchemist who eats netherwarts all day and doesn’t even care about consequences!” Orange continues to say angrily.
“{gasp} You take that back! Not only am I an alchemist but I’m also a master chef!” Blue angrily said.
Then she tries to punch Orange in the face, but then is pulled away by Yellow.
“Cut it out you guys! Your’e both causing a scene for both Green and red to see!” Yellow said while trying to stop the conflict.
But there was nothing she could do about it.
As while the 2 friends continues to argue about what their talking about, Green and red are forced to watch what’s going on.
But Red was more scared about it, as during their walk, he was thinking about if the legend of the Iceologer was real or not.
But his mind told him that the guy was definitely real.
“Guys, stop! The Iceologer will come and kill all of us!” Red said being scared.
“Yeah come on, knock it off you guys!” Green also yelled.
But then, Red sees a shadow looming towards him, and when he looks behind his back, he sees it.
“Uh, guys. Turn around for a moment.” Red said nervously.
Thankfully it was able to get all of their attention.
“Was is it now Red, can’t you see I’m lectur-.” Orange trie to say before he also sees the thing.
Once everyone takes a look at the thing, they knew that their all screwed now.
As the shadowy figure was none other then the Iceologer himself.
“What are you all doing in my mountains?” The ice wizard asked.
“Sorry mr freeze, we were just trying to find an ice crystal on this mountain.” Blue explained.
“Do you mean, this ice crystal.” The Iceologer said as he pulls out the ice crystal.
The gang were all in shocked at how beautiful the ice crystal looked.
In fact they were so amazed by it, that they didn’t see the ice wizard’s next plan.
“Well if you want it, then you’re just gonna have to take it off my hand. Which you’ll won’t!” He said evilly.
And so he uses the ice crystal to summon a giant block of ice out of the sky and uses it to nearly crush the gang.
And this impact causes all of them to fall out of the mountain.
But luckily, they all were able to survive getting killed by fall damage.
————————————————————————————————————————————————
Red was the first one to wake up after the fall.
And he was glad that his friends were starting to wake up too.
But that didn’t help the fact that there’s a ice wizard who wnats to kill them.
And it’s proven to be right when the Iceologer shows up again.
“Well then, if a little fall form the mountain wouldn’t kill you bozos, then I’m sure my ice powers will.” He said angrily.
“Well bring it on Ice King!” Yellow said.
“Everyone! Grab your diamond sword and let’s fight him!” Orange said to his friends.
So after the gang does so, they charge at the Iceologer and begins to fight him.
They had no ideas that he could be this powerful.
With him using the ice crystal to try and crush them with a giant block of ice, trying to freeze them in ice and throwing snowballs at them even though that might be a bad idea since the gang has diamond swords for weapons.
And even though all of them were able to dodge his attacks, things took a downfall.
After Red’s diamond sword was broken in one show by the Iceologer throwing a single snowball at him.
As that was when the Iceologer started to attack him as he was powerless without his weapon.
He tried to use other weapons too like an pickaxe and an, but those were disposed of pretty quickly.
Then the ice wizard threw Red onto an icy lake, much to the horrors of his friend.
And after he lands on it really hard, he notices that the ice was starting to break.
So he tries to escape by running off it.
But the Iceologer stops him just before he could do anything.
And much to the dismay of his friends, he begins to use his magic to lower Red’s body temperature to really cold.
“Let’s see how you’ll like it when you turn into a popsicle. Which I mean you suffer from hypothermia.” He says to the scared animal tamer while doing an evil laugh.
And even though he tries to hold it off, the extra cold was just too much for Red to handle.
So he gets knocked out by it.
Unable to move or speak.
Then to add salt in the wounds of his friends, the Iceologer uses his magic to cause the ice to crumble. Beneath them.
Which also causes Red to plummet under the ice.
Then he uses his magic to reveal the lake.
Much to everyone’s despair and worriedness for their animal loving friend.
————————————————————————————————————————————————
Thankfully, Red managed to regain control of his body, but sees that he was under the icy lake.
He tried to break the ice block with his bare hand, but for some reason he couldn’t.
That was when he realises that from the story he was told by the female villager, that the Iceologer’s favourite way of killing someone was drowning them under the ice.
And upon realsing this, he begins to panic.
As he was about to end up just like the previous victims who have died from that son of the bitch.
So he continued to break the ice, hopefully to get the other’s attention.
Thankfully he was able to see a blurry vision of Green beneath the ice.
And he tells him something, but he couldn’t understand it because the water is making it sound like he’s hearing muffled noises.
But it sounded like he was telling him not to panic and the others will come and rescue him.
But then he sees Green getting attacked by the Iceologer and possibly being frozen by the same magic he used on him.
And it didn’t help the fact that he was starting to feel his lungs starting to burst as it was getting hard to breathe.
He just hopes that his friends will be able to save him.
————————————————————————————————————————————————
Meanwhile back at the surface, Green managed to survive the Iceologer trying to also drop his body temperature to really low, by just kicking him in the balls.
“Why did that fucking hurts?” The ice wizard said while trying to ignore the pain.
Then he runs back to where his friend is, as he sees that Red isn’t going to hold his breathe any longer.
So he tries to break the ice by using his diamond pickaxe, but by then he notices that Red is now inhaling water much to his dismay.
Then he is forced to watch as Red stops moving and begins to sink down to the ground and he blacks out.
“No!” He said being scared for his friend’s life.
And he was so scared that he didn’t notice the Iceologer showing up right behind him.
By the time Green looks, it was too late,
As he punched him in the chest, and sends him flying to a tree which causes him to have a head injury.
“Green!” Both Yellow and Blue said really loud.
But then their also knocked out by the ice wizard throwing a block of ice at them.
With three friends knocked out and one friend seemly drowned to death, the only one left was Orange.
As he start walking backwards in fear about what just happened, and that all of his friends have been hurt.
And that was when the Iceologer starts to walk towards him menacingly.
“Well, well, well. It seems like your friends are no match for me. Now it’s just you and me, if you have the chance to fight.” He said to Orange evilly.
But what he doesn’t know is that every time his friends are killed or hurt, Orange starts having some strange and strong powers.
And this time this was witnessed by Green, Blue and Yellow.
As they all wake up from being knocked out.
The Iceologer watches in confusion as suddenly Orange begins to float, and is now glowing really brightly.
“Oh yeah, well you just forgotten about one thing.” Orange said angrily.
“What is it Stickman?” The Iceologer asked.
“Never! Hurt! My friends!” Orange yelled at him.
————————————————————————————————————————————————
This causes the Iceologer to be blown away, but fortunately he used his ice powers to stop him from flying to the sky.
And so just like that, another battle begins.
But this time, it’s a battle between the Iceologer and Orange aka The Second Coming.
The ice wizard tried everything in his powers to defeat Orange, but no matter what he does the leader always dodges his moves.
Plus the battle gives Green an opportunity to save Red, despite his head injury.
So after breaking the ice with his diamon pickaxe, Green dives into the water.
Where he spots Red lying on the ground completely motionless.
So he grabs his friend and swims him back to the shore.
Just as Orange was able to finish off The Iceologer with a lazer eye beam.
Which causes the ice wizard to scream in pain before he disappears.
But luckily the icy crystal was unharmed, so he picks it up.
that was when he goes back to normal and hears Blue talking to him.
“Orange! Are you ok? Is the Iceologer truly gone?” She asked.
But instead of answering her questions, Orang walks towards her and gives her the ice crystal.
“Here, accept this as my apology gift.” He says while giving his friend what she wnated the most.
“An apology gift?” Blue asked.
“Yeah, as I’m sorry about the argument we had a few minutes ago, hopefully this will make up for that.” He replied.
So Blue looks at the ice crystal, then she looks back at her friend.
”I’m sorry too, as even though we may argue and fight a lot, we’re still friends.” She said.
“Yeah friends for life.” Orange said.
And then they both do a fist bump with each other.
Until they hear Green calling out for them and Yellow.
“Guys! I got red out, but he’s not breathing!” He said.
So when the others joined him, they were scared to see that their friend might be dead from both freezing and drowning to death.
“Is he?” Yellow asked him.
But Green doesn’t hear her, as he places a finger on Red’s neck.
And once he does, he starts to feel relief about it, much to everyone’s confusion.
“Don’t worry everyone, he still has a pulse. It’s weak but it’s still there.” Green said to everyone.
“But, he’s still not breathing.” Blue said.
“Yeah, I think he swallowed a lot of water in that icy lake.” Orange said
“Well step back everyone, I know CPR.” Yellow said.
“Wait how do you know that?” Green asked.
“Because not only am I a engineer but I’m also a docotr.” Yellow replied.
And so the three friends watches as Yellow does some chest compressions on Red.
And after doing this for like 3 rounds, Red was able to wake up and start coughing up water.
Much to everyone’s relief and happiness for him.
Then after he’s done coughing, he begins to breathe normally again.
“He’s going to be alright, you guys.” Yellow said to her friend.
Which leads to everyone except for Orange to sigh with relief.
“That’s good, that’s really good.” Orange said.
Before suddenly he passes out.
“Orange!” Yellow, Green and Blue yelled with worries.
Although he’s still alive, it seems like that using his powers may have tired him out.
As that’s what happens to most superheroes who uses their powers too much.
————————————————————————————————————————————————
Later-
He then woke up to see that he is inside of a house, next to Red who was shivering really badly.
he was confused about it, until he realises that it might have been the water in that icy lake that’s causing him to shiver.
“Red, are you ok?” He asked.
“O-o-oh yeah, I’m defiantly f-f-f-fine. Why w-w-w-wouldn’t I?” Red replied.
But then they both see, Yellow and Green walking towards them after their done building something.
With Green having bandages wrapped around his head.
“Actually, he’s not fine, turns out that he has a massive case of hypothermia.” Yellow said.
“Hypothermia? What’s that?” Orange asked.
“It only happens when a person is feeling really cold or is in a cold spot for a long time. And it can be dangerous too as it can lead to frostbite and shivering.” Yellow explained.
“But luckily Blue’s in the kitchen right now making a nice cup of hot chocolate for all of us. While Yellow and I were able to make a fireplace.” Green also said.
“T-t-thanks Green. Your a lifesaver.” Red said.
“Wait a minute. Where are we? Weren’t we in the Minecraft world a few minutes ago?” Orange asked.
“Actually, we’re back at the computer, and the house we’re in now is yours.” Yellow explained.
“Oh, that does make sense.” Orange said.
And then they hear Blue coming out of the kitchen holding 5 cups of hot chocolate.
“Who wnats hot chocolates?” She asked.
Everyone raises their hands as Blue gives all of her friends one including herself.
Then after they take a sip of it, the gang finds out just how yummy they are.
“Wow, this is actually really great. I’m starting to feel warmer now.” Red said to her.
“Well, I’m glad it is working, since I don’t want to see any of my friends being this cold.” Blue said.
“So, are you going to use the ice crystal now that you have it?” Yellow asked.
“Well, maybe tomorrow after Red’s feeling warm again, Green’s head is better and Orange gets back the energy he has from fighting the Iceologer.” Blue replied.
“Yeah, i guess that does make a lot of sense.” Orange said.
And so after that, the gang begins talking about what they like to do during the winters.
As while it was glad to do a mission every so often.
Orange is glad that he still has his friends.
And that their all still alive.
As that what matters to him the most.
