After stepping outside of the Nether portal,
Red and Blue are now at a village that has a lot of farm animals.
And then Blue steps out of the nether portal, walks through some chests and searches for something in them.
At least she was until she gets jumpscare by the sound of a pig oinking.
Then after she gets back up, she realises that Red had brought his pet pig Reuben on this mission.
“Sorry if Reuben scared you. He just wanted to know what you found in that chest.” Red said to his friend while holding his pig.
“It’s no biggie. Besides, I haven’t found anything useful for our group. Well except for 4 netherwarts which I will try not to eat right now. And some emeralds. Which should be useful for trading some important stuffs with the villagers.” Blue said.
But after she said that, Red looks around and sees that all but one villagers are not there.
Well hate to burst your bubble. But there’s no one there. Well except for that woman scaring the pigs other there.” Red said to the alchemist while pointing at what’s going on.
“Wait a minute. That’s no ordinary woman. Come on!” Blue said to her friend while pulling out both a sword and a random potion in her inventory.
While Red does the same thing by pulling out a diamond sword too.
And then after that, they charge at the woman who was at the pig pen.
While Reuben stays behind so that it doesn’t get hurt during what was to come.
————————————————————————————————————————————————
“Hello there little piggies. Unfortunately I can’t take all of you, so I’ll just choose one of you guys for my latest experiment.” The mysterious woman said to the a red pigs.
But before you can do a game of Eeny, Meeny, Miney Mo,
Blue and Red stops her by pointing their swords at her.
“Stop right there criminal scum.” Blue said to her in a angry tone of voice.
“Leave the piggies alone or else we will mess you up!” Red also said in an angry tone of voice.
But then just when things couldn’t get any worse,
The woman drinks a potion which causes her to transform back to her original form.
A Witch.
“Oh no. It can’t be.” Blue said upon realising what’s going on.
“Oh my god. She’s a witch!” Red said with a scared tone of voice.
“{Evil Laughs} That’s right and now that you both know who I really am, I’m going to make sure that you two won’t stop me from eating one little piggy.” The Witch said to them evilly.
“Oh yeah? Well we’ll see about that.” Blue said to her.
And so the 2 stickmens have a fight with the witch,
But it proves to be too difficult since she has a lot of potions and has a diamond sword of her own too.
And just when things couldn’t get any worse.
The Witch sees Reuben and realises what this means.
“Hey stickmens, is that pig one of your pets?” She asked them.
“Actually he’s my pet. And you better leave him alone or else-“ Red tried to say to her.
Before getting hit by sword.
“Red!” Blue said in a worried tone of voice after seeing what just happened.
Before also getting knocked out by a sword.
“Well I’ve changed my mind about eating these pigs from this pen. Instead I’ll just eat the pet pig you have. Toodles.” The Witch said to them.
But not before she grabs Reuben. {who begins to panicked upon being grabbed by her.}
And seeing this causes Red to stand up and run towards her.
“You leave Reuben alone, you heartless monster!” He said angrily.
But before he could reach them, it was too late.
As both The Witch and Reuben disappears in a cloud of smoke.
And when the dusts settles, Red sees that his pet is now gone.
And just looks at it with a horrific look on his face.
Just in time for Blue to wake up and sees her friend.
“Hey Red you ok? And where’s Reuben?” She asked.
Causing the animal lover to turn his head while trying not to freak out.
“That witch took Reuben!” He replied in a scared tone of voice.
“What really?” She asked again.
“Yeah really! We have to save him! We have to before he gets eaten by the witch. And I don’t want to happen to my beloved pet!” Red replied.
But not before he begins to cry over the disappearance of his friend.
And while that’s happening, Blue realises what she has to do.
So finds a random potion stand inside a random villager’s house,
Use some netherwarts and other ingredients on it to make some splash potions.
And ultimately comes back with the splash potions and proceeds to throw them on the grass.
Which shows the witch’s footprints.
Which also causes Red to stop crying and be wowed at it.
“Woah, what kind of potion is that?” Red asked his alchemist friend.
“Oh, just a new potion I made. I call it the potion of foot printing. Still working on the name.” Blue replied.
“So does it track down people’s foot prints?” He asked again.
“Yep, and with enough of this, we’ll be able to find where the witch is and save Reuben.” Blue replied.
Causing Red to give her a little hug.
“Thanks Blue, you’re a life saver.” He said happily to his friend.
“No problem. Now come on, let’s go save your pet pig.” Blue said to her friend too.
And so just like that they follow the footprints from the witch.
While Blue continues to throw more splash potions of them {just in case they start to disappear}
Until eventually they reach the current location of the witch.
Which is the swamp area of the Minecraft world.
————————————————————————————————————————————————
Upon arriving there, both Red and Blue began to look for a house.
As witches do live in their houses in the swamps.
Until eventually after 2 minutes of searching,
They come across a house with someone singing {In the same tune of Bad Piggies, you know that Angry Birds game}
“Do you hear that?” Red asked.
“That must be it. Come on.” Blue said to her friend.
Upon arriving at the house, they look through the windows of it.
As not only do they find Reuben in it {while being held in a cage.}
But it also turns out that the witch kidnapped a wolf pup too.
“Oh no, that poor little wolf. We have to both save it and Reuben.” Red said to Blue.
“Ok, I guess we can do that. But we have to make the witch come outside for a fight.” Blue said.
Before long, The Witch notices them and runs towards the window.
“What are you kids doing here?” She angrily said which also scared the both of them.
“Give me back my pig, you fucking bitch!” Red angrily said to the witch.
“Language! {This causes Red to be guilty about what he said.} But yeah, give us back Reuben and the wolf cub or else face our wrath!” Blue also said angrily.
And hearing this causes the witch to smile sinisterly.
“Oh, so you wanna fight huh? Well ok, but I have to warn you though. Here in the swamplands, I’m more powerful there. For example I can summon this monster to kill you both.” The Witch said as she heads back to her cauldron.
“Say what now?” Blue said confusedly.
But before they can do anything, the witch begins to incite the incarnation.
“Bubble bubble, toil and trouble. A pour of water and a dash of slime ball, incomes a monster that won’t be killed or fall.”
And this causes a water slime to appear out of the cauldron and destroys the house due to how big it is.
“Wow, that Slime is big and almost the same colour as you Blue!” Red said in a worried tone of voice.
“Well I don’t care what the witch said, I’m gonna take down that thing once and for all.” Blue said angrily.
And so she charges at it with a battle cry.
But just like what the witch said, no matter how many attacks she does with her diamond sword.
The water slime doesn’t get hurt by it.
And to make matters worse for Red, it suddenly jumps through the air,
Until it lands on Blue {who realises that since it’s made out of water the person who gets stuck in there will drown}
Thankfully she was able to hold her breath before that happened.
But it did scared Red because, well, she’s his friend and he doesn’t want to see that thing kill her.
“Hey! Let go of Blue you monster!” Red said angrily to it.
And so just like what Blue did, Red also tries to attack it with his sword.
This causes Blue to realise that the same thing will happen to him, if he doesn’t quit it.
So in order to get through to him, she drinks a potion of water breathing {which turns her out to be her last one, so oops.}
Which allows her to talk to him for 1 minute.
“Red stop or else you’ll end up like me!” She said to her friend.
Causing Red to stop.
“Blue? Wait, you can talk? But how?” He asked.
“Well with the help of the potion of water breathing. But anyways, here’s the plans, you go and defeat the witch on your own to save Reuben and that wolf cub. While I stay behind to find a way to get out of the water slime before I drown.” She replied.
“What? No, I’m not leaving you. You’re my friend and friends don’t leave each other to die!” Red said while trying not to cry upon hearing the plan.
“I know, but from what I theorised, defeating the witch will cause the water slime to dissapear Ed, meaning that I’ll be freed. So go do that for me ok?” Blue said while putting her hand on the slime.
Which red does the same while trying to hold back the tears in his eyes.
“Ok, I will. As that witch is going to pay!” Red said.
But not before he pulls out his diamond sword and starts running towards the witch.
“Yes that’s it! Go Red! I believe in yo-“ Blue tried to say.
But not before the effects of the potion wears off.
But fortunately she was able to stop herself from getting any waters from her lungs.
And watches as Red begins to battle the witch.
While hoping she can find a way to escape the water slime before she drowns.
Because if she does, then this might likely causes Red to blame himself for leaving her like this.
Which she doesn’t want that to happen.
————————————————————————————————————————————————
“Hey witch! Prepare to get defeated by an animal lover! Which is me!” Red said to the witch.
But not before he starts running towards her while doing a battle cry.
“Oh you wanna play huh? Well let’s play little boy.” The Witch said evilly while tossing and catching a random splash potion.
And so just like that, the battle between the two begins.
Remembering the battle between another witch,
Red was able to deflect all of the splash potions she thrown at hm.
While both Reuben and the wolf cub watches on.
Until eventually the battle came to an end, when Red grabs the witch with a fishing hook.
And throws her into the swampy water.
Hoping that the water will melt her. {just like the Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard Of Oz}
But even after defeating her, he sees that the water slime is still there.
And Blue is still inside of it.
Which makes him confused about what just happened.
But before he could think anymore.
Suddenly both he and Blue hears a voice.
“Red? Blue? Anyone out there?”
————————————————————————————————————————————————
“Wait a minute? Is that, Orange?” Red asked to himself.
And he was right as suddenly, Orange appeared from the tres looking like he’s searching for both Red and Blue.
And when he sees the animal lover, he seems really happy to see him.
“Red! There you are! Oh I’m so glad that you’re ok, but where is Blue?” Orange asked while hugging Red.
“She’s trapped inside a water slime, and will possibly drown in seconds. Despite me taking down a witch.” Red replied while pointing at what’s going on.
“Oh my, that sounds really bad. But don’t worry I know just what to do. As all I need is your diamond sword please.” Orange said after putting Red down.
“Are you sure? Because that water slime over there can’t be killed.” Red said confusedly.
“Of course I’m sure.” Orange replied while he’s smiling weirdly.
“But what about Yellow and Green? Are they with you too?” Red asked.
“Oh yeah, I’m sure that this yellow and green persons are fine.” Orange said weirdly.
“Ok. If you say so.” Red said in a nervous tone of voice.
Meanwhile with Blue, she could defiantly see that Orange isn’t actually Orange at all.
And so tries to warn Red while trying not to lose anymore air because of it.
Which makes it more difficult since she drank the last potion of water breathing.
So with no other choices,
Blue watches as Red gives his diamond sword to Orange, who’s eyes begins to glow purple.
“Thanks for the sword, idiot!” Orange said as his voice changes to off that of the witch.
Causing both Red and Blue to realises that it’s actually the witch in disguise.
But not before Red gets hit by a splash potion of poison thrown by the witch.
Causing the animal lover to fall onto the ground.
“Red!” Blue screamed upon seeing this.
But that was her biggest mistake.
As suddenly she loses all of the remaining airs she had in her lungs,
And begins to inhale water in the process.
Before eventually she loses consciousness,
And blacks out.
————————————————————————————————————————————————
After being poisoned, The Witch has Red watch as Blue drowns inside the water slime.
“Well isn’t that ironic? It seems like the alchemist has drowned instead of the witch.” The Witch says to him while giving out an evil laugh.
“No, no! Blue! No!” Red screamed while being in disbelief.
But not before he gets thrown into the wall of the now destroyed house.
And what makes it worse is that since he is poisoned,
Red can’t move, sit up, go through his inventory or do anything to stop what was going to happen.
Which is the witch killing him with his own diamond sword.
“Goodbye you rotten little kid. No one will miss you and your little alchemist friend over there.” She said to the animal lover.
But not before she gives out another evil laugh and starts running towards him like a fucking serial killer.
But then after she swings the sword down,
It turns out that it didn’t hit Red and he’s alright.
“Huh? I’m ok? I didn’t die.” He said to himself upon what just happened.
“Wait what the?” The Witch said confusedly.
As it turns out that she didn’t hit Red with the sword,
She instead hitted the wolf cub with the sword.
And this causes it to both growl at her and have it’s eyes turn red.
And before long, a bunch of wolves appear behind her,
Growling at her with red eyes while being angry at her for hitting the wolf cub.
Which causes the witch to realise that she’s screwed now.
“Hey! Stand back you beast! Stand back! I’m warning you!” She said to the wolves.
“Heh, looks like you have fucked up now.” Red said to her,
But not before he goes unconscious due to the poison.
And then after that, the wolves all charge at her and begin to maul her up like she was a chew toy.
And all Reuben can do was to cover it’s eyes while hearing the screams of agony coming from the witch.
As she is brutally killed by the wolves.
And what feel like an eternity,
The screaming stopped.
Meaning that the witch is now gone, with only a hat from her remains.
And since she was defeated, that means that the water slime bursts into bubbles.
Releasing Blue, who’s unconscious body falls onto the ground.
And then after the wolves leaves {with the wolf cub saying goodbye to both Reuben and Red}
Reuben finds a bucket of milk inside a hidden shelf,
And so brings it over to Red,
As it was able to feed him some of the milk which cures him from the poison {despite it having legs}
And this was enough for him to wake up, and starts coughing for air.
Until eventually after settling back down to breathing, Red sees Reuben and realises what just happened.
So he begins to give his pet pig a belly rub.
“Thanks Reuben. Never knew you were smart enough to realise that milk is the only thing to get rid of the effects of poison.” Red said to his pet.
But then after a ew seconds, he sees Blue lying on the floor unconscious and begins to panic about her.
“Oh my god! Blue!” He said with a scared tone of voice.
And so he and Reuben both run up to her in a puddle of water.
————————————————————————————————————————————————
Upon seeing her so pale and almost like she’s dead.
Red tried his best to wake her up by shaking her.
“Come on Blue, wake up. Please don’t leave me here! Don’t be like this please!” He said as tears started forming around his eyes.
Fortunately after shaking her a few times,
This causes Blue to wake up and begin to cough up a lot of water from her lungs.
While Red helps her out by patting her on the back.
Until eventually the coughing starts and the alchemist starts to breathe normally again.
“Well, at least it’s {cough} better then almost drowning in lava I guess.” Blue said to herself while doing little coughs.
And upon seeing that she’s still alive,
Red tackles her onto the ground and gives her a really big bear hug.
“Blue! Your’re alive! I thought I was going to lose you!” Red said to his friend happily.
“Yep I’m still alive, and I could see that Reuben’s ok too.” Blue said while also giving Red a hug.
Until eventually the two stops hugging as they both give Reuben a pat on the head
{Well, after Blue heard from Red about what happened after she drowned}
“Wow, seems like what happened back at the nethers isn’t the only time that Reuben become the hero and saved us all.” Blue said to Red.
“Yeah, he’s like a super pig! Who’s always looking out for his friends.” Red said happily.
And then after resting for a bit, Blue sees Reuben nuzzling her,
Causing the alchemist to give him another pat on the head.
“Heh, that’ll do pig, that’ll do.” Blue said to the pig.
but then it was interrupted when Red sees that the sun is going down.
“Uh on, guess like we should head back home right Blue?” He asked.
“Yeah, I think it’s time. Come on Reuben, let’s go home.” Blue replied.
And so the 2 friends {including the pig} head out of the swamp together.
“You know Blue, since you’re an alchemist. Does that mean you’ll do the bubble bubble quote that the witch did with her incarnations?” Red asked his friend.
“Well I don’t know since Witches and alchemists are very different from each other. But I’ll see what I can do with that concept.” She replied.
But not before Red gives her another hug.
“Well even then, I still think that alchemists are way better then witches.” He said to his friend.
“Aw, thanks Red.” Blue said to her friend happily.
“You’re welcome Blue.” Red also said to his friend.
As they walk off into the sunset.
With their pet heroic pig Reuben.
