The Attack on The Ocean Monument

"I'm going to lose all my stuff!"

- Brainet The Attack on The Ocean Monument is the name given to the event in which the two founders launched an attack on LontyLan's first discovered ocean monument. This attack is regarded as one of the more unsuccessful attacks in the world's history, although it did eventually result in success.

The build-up phase
Following The Bountiful Update, or Minecraft 1.8, Brainet and quotum decided they wanted to go and attack an ocean monument so that they could acquire some sponges, and eventually make a Guardian Farm. Both Brainet and quotum brewed many potions of Water Breathing in preparation for the attack. They also built a tunnel in The Nether Hub leading to the monument in case one (or both) of them was to die. They made two full sets of diamond armour and had both diamond swords, and fully enchanted bows. Brainet and quotum quickly ventured to the ocean monument and jumped into the water to head to battle. They soon realised they couldn't see anything since they were too deep under the water, so they had to head back to Home Base and brew some Night Vision potions in the Potions Room. They then travelled back to the ocean monument to finally commence the attack.

The attack
The exact details of the attack remain unknown due to the fact that both Brainet and quotum died too many times to remember. As quotum swam in closer to the monument, he realised that there were hundreds of guardians. About half a dozen guardians all started to attack him: he tried to get away but died almost instantly when they launched their counter-attacks. Brainet struggled to retrieve all of quotum's gear, but did manage. He took it all to the surface to wait for quotum's return. When quotum had returned, they went back down to attack monument once more, and this time it was Brainet who was killed while they tried to find an entrance to the monument. The next time that they tried to get into the monument, Brainet managed to break one of the blocks before the Elder Guardian gave him Mining Fatigue III. Brainet and quotum continued to swim around the ocean monument like headless chickens until they found an Elder Guardian. The fight with the Elder guardian was rather anti-climactic, as it spanned only about a minute. The founders then continued on to find the other two Elders, dying a couple more times from groups of guardians during the process.

The aftermath
After the attack had been successfully carried out, the highly prized eight golden blocks were ceremonially mined out, as well as all of the sponge they could find. The two founders then travelled back home as triumphant soldiers to much applause from Theta and Achilles, their beloved pets.
