The Raid is the 28th episode of the Animation vs. Minecraft Shorts series, being the 9th installment of Season 3. It was first announced in a post.
Synopsis[]
These illagers picked the wrong village to raid.
Plot[]
Yellow and Blue arrive in the village, the same village from Titan Ravager - AVM Shorts Episode 23. They cheered victoriously, having taken the command block away from King Orange, and then heard noises from the village.
Only to find out the village is currently under attack from an illager raid. Villagers are seen being forced into captivity. Yellow and Blue try to escape but got caught and got thrown into a dirt cell along with many villagers. The Villagers rejoice to see the two stick figures, who had saved them once before. Yellow takes out his Command Block and shows it to the villagers. A Fletcher pushes the Armorer and the Cleric in front, they agree to make use of the command block. Yellow, the Cleric, and the Armorer, including the Fletcher, crawl through a secret tunnel, under the village and into the Armorer's workplace. The Armorer then starts to forge what seems to be a staff. Once he was done, they head down to the tunnel, because there's still something important they need to do.
Meanwhile, Blue assembles the remaining Villagers and gives them assigned tasks to gather materials. Blue later crafts swords and tries to teach the villagers to fight with a sword, but many of the Villagers ran away because, well, they're terrified of fighting. The remaining three villagers agree to learn how to fight, and Blue trains them to be fighters.
The Villagers and Yellow climb up from the tunnel to a small enchantment set. The Cleric places the staff on the enchantment table, and performs an enchanting spell that infuses Lapis Lazuli into the staff. Yellow is amazed by the process, and the Fletcher pats him on the back (as a gesture that Yellow will do great things with this new staff.) Once finished, the staff gently drops on the enchantment table, and Yellow added the Command Block into the staff.
Blue is overseeing the villagers fight with each other in a quick training session. Soon, the Villagers drop from the ceiling, and Yellow follows suit, staff in hand. Yellow gives all of the fighters Strength II, Speed II, Resistance II, and gives them musketeer hats. The trio raise their swords in a reference to The Three Musketeers.
The fighting Villagers come out of the prison and start to push back the Illagers with ease, the fighting Villagers attack the Vindicators and the Pillagers, while Yellow and the Fletcher take advantage of the fight to escape on horseback. The Pillagers shoots arrows at Yellow, the Fletcher and the Horse, but Yellow uses a generic shield with his staff. The Pillagers were almost defeated by the three powerful villagers, so the remaining Pillagers call the Evoker and the Illusioner for backup.
Once Yellow and the Fletcher arrive at a big cave, the Fletcher asks Yellow turn on light with the command block. They soon re-encounter the medium-sized Titan Ravager (from the Episode 23), the Titan Ravager roars, the Titan Ravager noticed the Command Block. The sight of the block reminds it of King Orange using the block to kill its family. The Titan Ravager becomes afraid of getting killed and backs away in fear, but Yellow gains its trust by using the Command Block to give lots of vegetables to eat. Yellow then creates a simulation with statues to recap what King Orange did to its family, that Yellow took the Block from King Orange and asks its help to ally with him and take down King Orange. The Titan Ravager crushes King Orange's statue and accepts Yellow's plea to help.
Back at the village, the Villagers encounter the Evoker, who summoned vexes and pins them to the ground with fangs. Blue does shoot the the vexes with his bow, but is provoked into combat by the Illusioner. After a brief battle, he ends up getting pinned to the ground by one of the Evoker's fangs and is about to get shot by the Illusioner, when Yellow comes riding the Titan Ravager along with the Fletcher arriving on the horse. and it scares the Pillagers away. The rest of the Villagers come out of prison and cheer the heroes. Yellow gives the Titan Ravager a butt ton of potion effects to make it more powerful and enlarges the portal so it can go through. Yellow and Blue wave goodbye, and then leave through the portal.
Back in the Nether, King Orange possesses the two Minecraft Game Icons. The Second Coming, Red, and the rest of the mobs reassemble to fight. King Orange uses the glowing white Minecraft Block to transform a netherite clump nearby into a giant netherite axe, and the dark glowing one to summon Dark Mobs of the Warden, Endie, Skellington and Spider. The fight resumes, and the mobs attack their alter ego clones. Red easily destroys them with King Orange's staff, but King Orange slams the giant netherite axe between Red and his allies and sends more Dark Mobs to trap him.
King Orange takes his staff back from Red, and appears victorious, when suddenly Yellow, Blue and the Titan Ravager emerge from the portal and destroy the Dark Mobs. Blue and Yellow are happy to see Red and The Second Coming, Yellow gave Blue fireworks to prepare, The team gathers against King Orange, who summons more Dark Mobs. The Titan Ravager charges at King Orange, who forms a giant Netherite sword and strikes the Titan Ravager. Once the Ravager manages to destroy the sword with its horns, he then summons a Dark Mob version of the Titan Ravager, which pushes the Ravager back. Yellow uses his staff to help the Titan Ravager push back its alter ego clone and King Orange ends up killing it while shooting the Ravager with a giant netherite bow. Yellow builds a cobblestone platform so the Titan Ravager can fight at the same level as King Orange, but King Orange turns his bow into a trident and pushes back the Titan Ravager. So Yellow had to summon invisible barriers to block the trident, but King Orange summons another Dark Mob of the Titan Ravager.
Red arrives with the rest of the team; Yellow clears the Barrier block barrier so that Red can easily destroy the Titan Ravager's alter ego clone. Blue takes out the other clones as everyone else is on the offense against King Orange, who spawns more Dark Mobs. Yellow uses the staff to throw explosive TNT at them, and Endie teleports and throws Skellington and Spider. Skellington tries to shoot King Orange, The Second Coming and the Warden try and attack him, and Spider hangs onto him. But King Orange turned Skellington's arrows into nothingness, King Orange creates another giant netherite axe to knock out Skellington, The Warden and The Second Coming, and then shake off Spider. When the Titan Ravager, Blue, Yellow and Red charge at King Orange, he turns the giant axe into a giant shield to protect himself from the Titan Ravager's charge. Blue jumps behind King Orange as Yellow makes a platform for him to stand on, so that Blue can bombard King Orange with explosive fireworks. He tries to protect himself using the light Minecraft Game Icon to take away the firework rockets, but it doesn't work. Red leaps forward at the right time, and uses the staff to break through the giant netherite shield and successfully give him a huge hit with his staff.
But King Orange truly had had enough; he took the chance to take away his own staff from Red with one Minecraft Game Icon and chokes Red by the other. Yellow grabs King Orange with the command block using a /teleport ForceHold command, but King Orange grabs the command beam and transfers it to Red. He then creates a giant netherite mace. Realizing that Red is going to get hurt, Yellow accidentally throws Red aside to protect him just in time for King Orange to swing the mace down. Yellow quickly counters it with a barrier block barrier, but by now King Orange did not hold back. He goes all out: breaking through the barrier and crushing the Titan Ravager. He then spawns a bunch of Dark Mobs of every mob in the fight. The Titan Ravager gets pinned down by two Dark Mob Titans; Blue, Skellington, Endie, The Second Coming and the Warden gets taken down by Dark Mob clones; Spider gets surrounded by Dark Mob clones; Yellow gets pinned by clones to a Dark Mob Titan Ravager clone's leg.
King Orange flies up high in the air and takes out the netherite block from his staff. He destroys the netherite block, and fuses the two Minecraft Game Icons together. Yellow knew it's hopeless; they're surrounded, they've lost.
And King Orange places the newly fused Minecraft Game Icon into his staff. And fires a catastrophically destructive energy beam up in the air, one much bigger than ever before.
