Alone Against the White Team: BlackBelt UHC Episode 6

  • Published on

Episode 6 is the last part of BlackBelt UHC. The title card reads "BlackBelt UHC Feb 2017, Episode 6," with "UHC BLOX | Mark | 100 Minutes" still in chat. Only two teams are left: Basket and Subek1969 on red, BlackBeltCrafter and johnfal_92 on white. Basket types in chat that johnfal_92 is overpowered, and johnfal_92 answers, "hardly."

Up into the daylight

The red team digs up out of the caves into the daylight. "It's eternal day, so we're in a little bit of a ravine," a voice says. A voice spots the white team close by, "directly to our west," and adds, "they're enchanted." The plan is to pillar up and keep holding shift so their names stay hidden.

It does not last. "Oh careful. Oh God. You got shot," a voice says, and chat posts "Subek1969 was shot by johnfal_92." JJBonsig types "GG." Basket is now the last player on the red team.

A portal of their own

Basket heads back underground. Down in the caves, Basket scoops lava into buckets, pours water over lava to turn it into obsidian, builds a portal frame and lights it with flint and steel. The idea, a voice explains, was that if the white team had gone to the Nether, a new portal might link up with theirs and give Basket a way to come out behind them.

Basket steps through to the red netherrack of the Nether, then back. "No, it goes back into my cave," a voice says. "So there goes that strategy." Back in the tunnels, a voice wonders whether some crafting tables thrown down a hole earlier are still there. "Yes, they are." Then, "Oh, and there's the border," and Basket heads the other way.

One against two

Basket digs up to the surface. "There's the border," a voice says, and then the white team comes into view. "Shh, shh. Don't say anything," a voice says. Basket gets the jump on them and lands a few hits, but both wear enchanted armor, and BlackBeltCrafter carries a diamond sword. "Oh no, I can't hit 'em!"

The fight is short. A "You died!" screen comes up with "BasketMC was slain by johnfal_92," and chat adds, "Your game mode has been updated to Spectator Mode." Basket is out of the match. JJBonsig writes "GG all!" and BlackBeltCrafter, BasketMC and johnfal_92 all type "gg."

Spectating the white team

From here Basket is spectating. With the red and blue teams out, BlackBeltCrafter and johnfal_92 are the last two players left. No winner banner appears on screen; the chat just fills with "gg." Basket floats over the pair in the treetops.

On the call, the players compare notes. One voice says their team found only two diamonds; another says, "we found lots of diamonds." A voice also says the border caught them a couple of times after they started out in a corner.

The tower by the lake

Basket flies through the ground, past caves full of lava, and then over to a cobblestone tower by a lake, with JJBonsig's nameplate inside it. Inside are a furnace, a crafting table and two armor stands. A voice explains that they came upon the tower from the far edge of the lake and dug a tunnel under the water to come up underneath it. Another voice thinks the armor stands work well as decoys.

The border has closed in tight by now. "UHC BLOX | Mark | 120 Minutes" appears in chat, and then Scoti_Garbidis and JJBonsig leave the game.

Under the map

In the last minutes, Basket flies beneath the world to the UHC Blox command blocks, a long redstone line with a minecart and an armor stand, while a voice explains how the system is set up. Basket also looks into an underground room with a spawner and a chest. Then the end card rolls. Basket finishes the season out of the match, spectating.
