left and am horrified to see 5 or 6 avatars
disappear from the next squad, including Corporal Jones. Grabbing
Corporal Henckman's arm I point and shout over the noise.
    "They are getting slaughtered sir, why don't
they build a defensive wall?"
    Looking over he immediately takes action.
"Everyone listen up. The moment there is a break in the incoming
arrows, stand up and return fire. Aim for the Skeletons at the
Portal. Jeb and Pippa, you're with me, on your feet soldiers."
    "Yes sir, uh, where are we going sir?"
    "On a little rescue mission," he replies,
pointing over to the next squad just as another avatar
disappears.
    "Come on, come on already, or there will be
no one left to rescue, you guys ready?"
    "Yes sir," I reply, gulping down my fear.
    "Good, when we get to the squad I want you
both to build a wall, just like ours, ok?
    "Yes sir," we both reply.
    "Now!" Jumping to our feet we dash along the
wall as the rest of the squad returns fire. All along the wall,
soldiers are shooting the Skeletons, but they also falling victim
to their arrows, blinking out and disappearing.
    As we reach the next squad Corporal Henckman
grabs hold of Darth and shouts into his face, "you, soldier, help
my men build a single block wall across the front of these
defenses."
    "Build it yourself," shouts Darth, pushing
the Corporal off and notching another arrow.
    Grabbing Darth by the back of his head, the
Corporal throws him to the floor. Darth is livid, trying to stand
back up and fight when the Corporal throws himself next to him,
dragging him back to the ground. Darth pulls back his arm, ready to
punch when a volley of arrows flies through the air where they had
both just been standing.
    "Lower your arm soldier," growls the
Corporal.
    Bewildered, Darth turns his attention back to
the Corporal and gulps. "Uh sir, I'm sorry sir, I did not realize I
was addressing an officer."
    Ducking as another volley of arrows hits the
hastily erected defense, the Corporal leans past Darth and shouts
to me. "Jeb, what's the status?"
    "Seven dead including Corporal Jones, three
wounded sir."
    "Right, good work soldier. And you," he
growls, leaning into Darth's face, "I will deal with you
later."
    Gulping and trying to make himself as small
as possible, Darth nods and replies, "yes sir, sorry sir."
    "Right, soldiers, I'm taking command of this
squad. I'm Corporal Henckman, but you can just call me SIR."
    Smiling to myself I realize the speech is not
quite so scary this time.
    "When the arrows stop we are all heading over
to my squad, do you understand?"
    "Sir, yes sir," we all reply.
    "Good, on my mark, go, go, go."
    We all jump to our feet and dash the 30
blocks back to the squadron, who cheer wildly as we rejoin
them.
    "Numbers, what's happening here?"
    "Just shooting a few Skeletons sir."
    "Numbers!"
    "Sorry Sir. We have driven the Skeletons back
but they look like they are getting reinforcements and regrouping
by the Portal sir."
    "Good work Numbers."

    The shout goes out along the wall, as dozens
of Creepers burst forth from the Portal and dash towards the wall.
Before we can even raise our Bows, hundreds of arrows are launched
at us by the Skeletons.
    Diving behind our defenses we are lucky and
no one is hit, but many others along the wall are not so lucky.
    "Come on Captain, what are you waiting for.
Give the command already," mutters the Corporal, squatting next to
me behind the wall.
    "What command sir?" I ask.
    "Never you mind soldier, ok men, on my mark,
take out the Creepers, now!" he screams, but before we can even
pull ourselves to our feet the first of the Creepers reaches the
wall and explodes, knocking us back to the floor.

    As we struggle to our feet, more and more
creepers reach the wall and explosions ring out all along our
defenses.
    "We've been breached," someone calls from
further down the wall. As the dust starts to clear, I lean over and
try to get a glimpse at the damage.
    "What's the damage Jeb?"
    "The walls been breached in at least
