Well, BostonBoys had the idea to raid the Rebel fortress while everyone was asleep. Around the time they arrived, I was in the nether mining for glowstone to make my first potions. Out of a greatly placed sense of intuition, I tp'd back to the faction's spawn when I heard numerous footsteps. I geared up and got my inventory in line and snuck up to the top where I noticed them running in circles around the fort. I jumped down and wailed on a little guy and killed him. Another guy was soon to follow as I roared like a 13 year old behemoth in the house, waking my brother up. Sensing fear that I'd have to open the door, I quickly decided to Self Delete-attack them. Fortunately, they were all in magicless, iron armor. 5 of the 6 players died. 1 was able to escape, albeit deathly ill.
After a while they calmed down and finally accepted my attempts to make minor companionship. Some 13 year olds stopped being as annoying and begun to be polite towards me. For a while, there was peace. But then, Fluffykomodo came to the walls. I was fortunate to have completed my chemistry session in time, and I found my true rival. This was the ultimate battle.

It was a very dangerous situation for me. His tactic was to run a while out, as to get rid of my 30% damage prevention from the faction range. Like a dope I ran towards him, jumping the wall as usual. While chasing him, I tried to use my Instant Damage potion on him but it's only self-use. He got a hit on me with his deathly sword which brought my health down to 7 hearts. I ran behind the mountain and drunk my Strength II potion, healed, and walked towards him again. This time, he was using his Power V bow, trying to snipe me. I pulled a ghirahim and dodged 3/4th of his attacks before getting hit once. Fortunately, I had that Projectile protection, so it did nothing to me. This gave me opening, and I quickly ran at him and cut him up. We exchanged cuts and my health was halfway drained. I drank my X-potion and finished him off with a brief slice to his head. I was surprised to see the extra diamond armor, fireballs, xp, and even more goodies that he dropped. I quickly ran back to base and stashed his stuff, returning twice to his body to the rest.
Then, they showed empathy towards me and congratulated me. Spnix525 arrived at our base in creative mode. Fred_da_kiko wanted to dismiss him but I was polite towards him and he rewarded me with over 4 stacks of diamond. At this point, the host wanted to make a reset and make the server different. So that's the story of The Battle of Rebels.
