I was walking back to my house still thinking about what that panda had said. I wanted to stop the player, no matter what. I walked to Skelly's house, which was across the creeper corridor. I rang the bell on their porch. Skelly's mom came out.

    "Hi Gunpowder! Do you want to come in?"

    "Yes, thanks!"

Skelly was practicing his bow skills in the backyard. He had three arrows centered on the bull's eye!

    "Hey, Skelly! I have something to tell you."

.    .    .    .    .

.    .    .    .    .

Okay. I told Skelly about the portal. He was completely shocked when he heard that there might be a player in this world. I said we could probably fight back and keep the player out of our town. We decided to go to the nether. Yes, you heard right! The only concern from Skelly was that creepers are not "made" for the nether. I remember that one time that Enderpearl told me that he met a skeleton in the nether named Soulsand.

Unlike creepers, skeletons can withstand the heat from the lava. Skelly packed his stack of arrows and his bow, and we went to my house.
