looked through her inventory, she worried she might not have enough wood to build boats for everybody.
âDoes anybody have wood I can use?â asked Kyra.
Everyone checked their inventory. Nobody had the resources to help Kyra build boats to get them off the island.
âOh no,â said Kyra, âweâre stuck here. I better start chopping down trees or something.â
âMaybe you can build a boat out of a mushroom,â suggested Will.
âI donât think that will work,â replied Kyra.
The group rested on the lawn. A mooshroom walked past, and they used a bucket to milk it and filled their food bar with mushroom stew.
As they ate and looked out at the water, the group was very despondent. They didnât want to be trapped on Mushroom Island. They needed to get to Henry, Lucy, and Max and save them from the rainbow griefers who had trapped them.
The gang began to chat, but Steve stood silently. He had an idea. Steve took out a potion of underwater breathing. He held it up in front of the group.
âDo you think this can help us get off the island?â

UNDER THE SEA
S teve handed the potion to the others and they all drank.
âOkay, letâs dive in!â Kyra said and they jumped into the water.
The group went deep into the blue ocean biome.
Steve wondered how long the potion would last and if they had enough to make it to the shore, but he also enjoyed exploring the ocean biome.
Kyra swam toward a structure deep within the ocean biome.
âItâs an ocean monument,â she called out to the group.
âI thought they were called ocean temples,â said Will.
âI thought they were called water dungeons,â said Steve.
It didnât matter what people called itâit was a large temple that grew on the very bottom of the ocean. Steve had never been in one, but he knew that squid-like creatures called the Guardian and the Elder Guardian guarded the temples, and theyâd have to battle them to get anywhere near the gold treasure housed in these grand temples.
They approached the mammoth temple, lit by sea lantern blocks.
âLetâs go in,â said Alex as she swam toward the entrance.
Before Alex could enter, a Guardian made an incredibly loud noise and shot a dangerous laser beam at her. She avoided the beam, swimming away from the door.
Two more Guardians with piercing eyes emerged from the temple, swimming swiftly through the blue water. They omitted sounds as they shot laser beams at the group. Kyra took out her bow and arrow and shot at one of the Guardians.
âYou got it!â said Steve, who also aimed an arrow at the underwater terror.
âI think we have to hit it a few more times,â Kyra said.
The Guardian was fast, giving it an advantage in the water. No matter how hard they tried to swim faster, the water slowed down the group.
One of the Guardianâs beams struck Steve; he lost hearts from his health bar. Steve felt wiped out. Heâd never felt so exhausted in his life.
âWhatâs happening?â he asked Alex.
âDonât worry, itâs just mining fatigue. It will go away in a few minutes. Just make sure you hide from these Guardians. You donât want to get struck with a laser beam now,â replied Alex.
The sound from the Guardians was deafening. They shot beams in all directions. Will was hit and also had mining fatigue.
Steve worried they would all get destroyed in the temple. He knew theyâd respawn on the wheat farm, but he didnât want to start again. He had to battle these Guardians, get the gold treasure, and save his friends.
A Guardian swam past him with menacing eyes. Its tail moved quickly. Steve gathered the little energy he had left and struck it with a sword, clobbering the evil fish. The Guardian dropped prismarine crystals.
Alex and Will were in an intense battle with a sea of Guardians. She moved to avoid laser beams as Will shot as many arrows
