New World

He looked around the corner to see if there was anyone in the hallway.

'Empty. Good.' He continued walking and studied the walls. He had never seen a stone as white as what the walls were made of. And there were so many objects which he had never seen before. A woolen cover for the floor! Colored glass panes! Even a collection of torches on a metal construction hanging from the ceiling! 'Why didn't I think of that? It would have spared me a lot of boredom.'

He kept repeating the process of checking and sneaking, sometimes having to hide. But his efforts were rewarded. He smelled food. And boy, did it smell good. 'That smells amazing! Whatever food that is, it has to taste good!' He followed the scent and shortly after he reached a door. With two of those creatures in front of it.

'Damnit. I can't sneak past them, I'm allmost twice as big as them! How am I getting in that room now?!' To make things even more difficult, they were wearing full sets of armor. No way he was going to get past them without a fight.

'Maybe I should just go back. Maybe they will bring me some food later on. I mean, they aren't going to starve me to death, right? Now let's go before I get caught.' But fate disagreed with him. When he turned around he tripped over one of those woolen covers, stumbling and knocking something over. It fell and broke with a lot of noise. 'Maybe these things aren't so usefull after all.'

"Who goes there?" He heard one of those creatures walk closer to him.

'Crap. Well, only one thing left to do.' He got up and ran back the way he came. 'Run like The Wither himself is after you.'

"Halt!" The creatures were right behind him, slowly catching up with him.

'So much for a nice meal. And I don't want to fight!' He kept running, but the hunger slowed him down.

'I'm not gonna make it!' He thought, before getting hit in the back. The hit made him stumble and fall flat on his face. 'Okay, that's it. If it can't go the easy way, let's go for the hard way.' He got up and faced the creatures. Instead of the two he expected, there were now six of them. All in armor and with coat. The only difference was that half of them had wings and the other half horns. One of the horned ones charged at him.

'Gotcha.' He sidestepped and drove his elbow in the spot between the helmet and the chestplate resulting with a loud crack and thud, slamming the creature into the ground. It groaned in pain and tried to get up again, but to no avail. He had probably hit the spine, a weak spot for allmost every creature. He faced the group again, just in time for a buck in the chest.

'So you're next huh?' He grabbed the creatures tail and pulled it towards him, giving him the opportunity to grab it's head. He took the helmet and placed it in his inventory, before giving the creature a headbutt. He had used this multiple times on Creepers, because it confuses them and delays their explosion. The creature got knocked out and before Steve could do something he felt something hit him in the back. Hard. He fell over and looked back to see another one of those creatures. Only this one was different. This one was taller, clearly stronger and had blue hair and a blue tail.

'Can't I get a break?!' He thought before getting up and facing the creature. He charged at it, attempting to punch it in the face. But the creature simply sidestepped, making him stumble past the creature. It then rammed into him, sending him into the wall.

'I've got enough of this!' He took out his axe and swung the blunt side sideways toward the creature, only missing by an inch. He swung his axe upward, now hitting the creature in the chest. He the swung it downwards, hitting the ground and cracking it.

'How do you like th-' *Thud* He got bucked square in the chest.

"What are you two doing?!"

'Whoever that is, she sounds angry. Damnit.'

Shining Armor was checking up on the guards, to see if they weren't slacking of. He had only caught one of them doing that. It was the new one, Sharp Shot. He was the the best non-unicorn archer around, and a decent flyer too. But he wasn't used to the tight and rough schedules of the guards.

'Can't blame him. Sometimes even I have trouble with these schedules. It's tough, but needed.' He was near the cooking area of the castle when he heard a yell.

"Halt!"

'Ugh. What now?' He walked towards the sound before he heard a loud *thud*.

"What is going on..." He stopped midsentence when he laid his eyes on the scene before him. The guards were fighting the creature Swift Kick found a few days ago. And it was winning. One of the guards lay on the ground, clearly in a lot of pain, while another guard was getting a headbutt, getting knocked out cold. Shining charged at the creature and shot a blast of magic at it's back, making it fall over. It got up and faced him. The creature looked strong. Really strong.

'Can't I get a break?!' The creature then stood up and charged at him, attempting to hit him in the face. He sidestepped and then rammed himself into the creature.

'Oh, come on. I expected... better?' His mind stopped when he saw a white mist come out of the creature and fly into it's claw, forming into an axe. 'How in Equestria did he do that?!' He stepped back just before the axe could hit him in the head. The creature was using the blunt side of the axe, so it apparently didn't want to kill him.

'Maybe he's smarter then I-' *Thunk* He got hit square in the chest. He managed to dodge the next blow, the force of the blow created a big crack in the floor. 'Does it break rocks for a living?!' He then bucked the creature, making it stumble again.

"What are you two doing?!"

'Uh-oh.'

AN: I hope this chapter added some nice action. A free hug for the first one who guesses who that last voice is!

And the winner is: Mrbourkec!
