    Minecraft by foodeater4

    Steve had just spawned in a new world. He gathered wood until a pig came across his path. With the wood that he had already collected, he made a sword to kill the pig. After that, he moved along with gathering resources. Steve ws gla with what he was doing. He thought to himself," This is going to be easy to survive with all of this wood that I have gathered." He then made a pickaxe with the new wood that he had gathered along with making charcoal for fuel until he got coal which would be soon. He got some cobble when he noticed that it was noon time, a perfect time for a snack. He got the cobble and made a furnace to cook his food. After he had eaten, he got more cobblestone to make tools for himself. After making tools, he just started, you know, making a house to survive his first night in this newly generated world. Steve gathered wool from the sheep that had spawned outside of his house. He mad a bed and thought of how good he had been doing when he saw a hole that went into the ground. He wondered what it was and he just decided to check it out the next day. It was turning nighttime so that was the most obvious answer that he could think of. He went to sleep that night to wake up to the sound of burning zombies and skeletons. He walked outside only to see nothing. He did not know where the mobs went or anything. It was a mystery until he noticed the hole again. He really was tempted to figure out what was in the hole so he went ahead and went ahead not knowing of what troubles he would get in. Steve did not bring anything because he thought of nothing but the hole since he woke up. He just walked straight into it. He thought every single step he rook deeper into the mysterious hole that he was in. He just plain old did not know what this was. Then he was startled when he heard a zombie and a skeleton as if they were talking to each other. Then he heard a spider then silence. He was very fascinated by this and he walked even deeper into this hole. He turned a corner and saw a dim light. He followed it as if he was attracted to it. Steve was then looking straight into a.... even Steve didn't know what this was. It was kind of like a meeting room but of what kind? He just could not develop what he was seeing into his brain. This must be where the "talking" mobs were. He saw redsone torches casting a dim light through the room just liht enough to see a door in the corner. He eagerly walked toward it with almost no thought of what could be behind it. So he just opened it and almost passed out because of the sight behind it. He saw Steves just like him in cages. He did not know what to think when he saw these Steves. He saw one that was mutated. He must have been experimented on by the mobs that captured it here. This was probably going to happen to all of the other Steves that were here too. The Steves were all looking at him with worried expressions on their faces. One even whispered to him,"Get out of here while you have the chance!" He looked worried and so did the other Steves. Out of nowhere, this dark figure came into view at the end of the hallway. It stood there and Steve did not know if it saw him or what it was. Many questions filled his mind unyil the figure disappeared. After a few seconds of confusion, he heard a soung behind him. He turned around only to find himself face to face with Herobrine. Steve was trapped and sent into the one of the cages. He was trapped there forever. Please rate and comment on this story.

    A steve story part 1.PLEASE READ AND GIVE HONEST REVIEW!just write" a steve story" to let me know what you think

    He slashed violently at the last spider trying to attack him,with a terrible hiss the ugly monster fell on its side.Panting violently,steve picked up the string that it had dropped."now"he thought to himself"now im gone no food,tools,weapons,water..."he looked around the desert he was in,and with a chuckle he added"or atmosphere"with that he continued walking taking one last look at the shards that used to make up his sword.With horror in his eyes he saw the moon rising in the distance.With unbelieveable agility,he started sprinting across the desert.The moon was getting higher,steve nervesuoly looked about himself"No sign of monsters yet"he thought to himself.He couldnt run any further"im going to die."he thoufht to himself.He slowly sunk to his knees"well ol' steve youve had a long run guess its your time to go i....wait is that?"To his joy he saw a village in the distance.He summoned all his remaining energy,and rose to his feet and hobbled slowly to the village."Almost....There!"he said as a smile crept across his face.Suddenly the silence was broken....by a series of horrific moans and hisses.ZOMBIES!!!He went as fats as he could....He reached the pathway of the village,looking behind himself he saw to his horror a group of zombies following him.A house,if only he could reach it beforethey reached him.he scrambked madly with the handle and got inside and shut the door!CRACK!!!They werent gonna give up that easy were they?
    He turned around and noticed three villagers trembiling in the corner.One of them,a child,Pointed to a chest in the middle of the room.Steve quickly opened it...A Iron sword...and a chestplate of iron!With these...who would come out victorious?Steve got in the corner and waited....waited...waited.CRASH!!!The door gave away.with lightning quick movements Steve killed the one in front mercilessly"come on you monsters!COME AND GET ME!!!!"They took him up on his offer.One after another Steve took them out.When the last fell,Steve thanked the villagers for the armour and weapons and asked if he could stay in another hut for the nighr.With smiles they said he could stay as long as he wanted to.The next morning,Steve had bread for breakfast.Going out of his hut,he noticed he was the only one there...an eerie fog had rested on the village.Looking through the window of another hut from his deont door step he saw villagera huddled up in a corner.One of them saw steve and mouthed"Go back inside...NOW!!!"Steve sensed somthing was wrong here....he sensed some evil presence he had never felt before.Somthing on the horizon caught his eye.A lone figure,an...Unbelievable evil looking figure.Feom what he could see of its silhutte.He knew somthing was wrong he quickly went baxk inside and locked the door.He prepared his sword and armour.He nervously paced the room,when he happened to look out the window and saw....A ghastly white face pressed up against the window...It...It...looked like steve!Only with all white eyes!With a scream of horror steve lept to the window...And it was gone.The fog rose off the village,revealing tremendous damage done to the village.Villagers started slowly streaming out of their huts very nervously at first."But how did all this damage get here?"Steve thought to himself."I didnt hear anything!"Almost as if he could hear hia thoughts a nearby villager said one word"Herobrine"
    To be continued if you guys want me to,if you dont want me to im still going to! ;)

    Silverstars

    On the planet Malcron was (in between Mars and the Moon,) a young boy his name was Steve. Steve was very smart, he loved to invent. As he was rideing his latest invetion robotc (a robot that could change froms into other items,) now in the form of a hover bike, he pulled into his favorite scrap pile the junkotron he used robotc (now in the form of laser cutters,) to cut the laser protecting the entrence, "whew" Steve breath' now noticing he was holding his breath', scared Steve did'nt no the meaning, "I don't see whats there is to be scared of" he always thought. When he entered the scrap pile he saw an ad, the ad was talking about a famous inventor named Freddric Hooise, Hooise that was his last name he looked closer at the paper "Grandfather?!" Steve exlaimed he then saw a code ***+***+&&&****+ he knew this, a code grandfather,dad and he knew very well. "The secret is in the eye of the scrap pile" he disiferd. Steve spent hours working on trying to find this secret. Finally when it turend noon he saw a shadow of a head fom the giant scrap pile, he looked at the "eye" he looked up in the scrap and saw something silver, he quickly turned robotc into a giant scooper. Steve dug around the scrap untill he found It, it didn't have a name it was just called It. "No way!" He gasped the thing he saw was a giant ship (ok maby it was'nt all that big) it was amazing Steve opened the door of the It and climed inside as soon as he steped in lights turned on "Wow!" Steve said a little to loud he had woken up the gaurd "Hey you," the gaurd belowed "Oh no if i don't do something I will be sent to the dungeon," Steve exlaimed, so knowing Steve he started pushing random buttons a blast of air noked him back into a seat "No," Steve cried. The ship jerked and flames came from the bottom, he then felt himself been flown up.
    Steve was alone in space for the first time in space so quite, peaceful, hurmonic, he was excited the ship vered of a course that was already set by computer, Steve had not noticed the small change as he saw the ship heading for that peacful looking blue and green planet as It entered the atmosphere the flames and pressur was to much for Steve he could not stay awake the last thing he heard was static,glitch,then a zap.
    When Steve woke up he noticed a blue sky, he felt on his back for robotc and found him by a clump of "TREES! Those are not trees are they? when were trees so squar ?" He asked were in blue blazes am I he wonderd he looked up at the SQUAR Sun, he could tell it was a sun from the incredable hot heat. All of a sudden robotc tuned into a looking glass "Ahh!" Steve shouted I'm square robotc glitched and turned into a square backpack "Let's get out" of here he said he turned to get in his ship but it was gone "No! this is very bad" he said. He then started of for the clump of trees to escape the heat he heard his stomac growl he was very hungry he saw some apples, he treid to reach them they were to high "Arugh," he shouted as he punched a tree. He noticed it did'nt hurt and pixels flew of the wood he punched more and more and even more, before he was about to give up the wood broke it was on the ground,he went to pick it up it shot forwards and landed in his backpack "Wow," he said. He had hit a lot of trees that night and he had collacted 128 (do the math 64+64= bingo) wood and 20 apples he heard a deep voice "Thank goodness a human," he said human this was no human it was a green fleshed creature.
