Ender quest
Prologue
"The Ender Army is coming!" a guard shouted from atop the wooden watchtower in Magta. The Commander of the army, Yale, cursed and immediately barked out orders.
"Get the civilians to the underground shelter now! Get the TNT cannons and water turrets ready. Activate the fire charges at once! All guards…ready up!"
Yale glanced at the advancing army, immediately feeling a tingle down his spine and dread creeping into his thoughts. There were about two thousand mobs looking like a wave of green, blue, white and of course, black, outnumbering the city's defenders two to one. Yale knew that Magta, the capital, couldn't fall like the two hundred cities before it or there would only be six more cities left, all weak in defences and Minecraftia would finally fall to the invading Endermen, which had already been waging this war for well over a hundred years, slowly leaving towns and cities in shambles and razing any Minecraftian outpost to the ground. Furthermore, other hostile mobs had joined the Endermen in the war, whether as mindless slaves or eager volunteers, Yale did not know, nor did he care, but he knew that this put the Minecraftians at a serious disadvantage in terms of numbers and determination.
The Ender Army got closer and creepers immediately charged forth, ahead of the group of mobs, looking like a surge of green ready to strike down Minecraftia's last real line of defence. But as the defenders seem to nervously shiver, Yale worked up the courage to bark out his next order.
"Fire!" The deadly new Sentry Guns, really just a rapidly-firing dispenser blasted waves of arrows and struck the creepers, cutting down the entire front line while up on the battlements, many archers aimed and fired a hail of arrows upon the Creepers, which perished and disintegrated into scattered piles of gunpowder. The Creepers that somehow managed to survive and get to the obsidian walls exploded without effect, not even leaving a scratch on the durable obsidian. Yale scanned the battlefield and realised that the Ender Army would strike in bulk any moment, and immediately called out. "TNT!" Yale commanded, loud enough for the military engineers to nod and pulled the levers. The TNT cannons located on the battlements opened fire, sending destructive blocks of explosives soaring into the skies and blowing up huge areas, punching massive holes into the Ender Army, killing many Endermen and other mobs, practically smothering the battlefield in white dust as the mobs disintegrated. The Minecraftians cheered but the Ender Army was far from defeated.
As soon as the Sentry Guns stopped firing due to lack of ammunition, Spider Jockeys rode out and expertly shot archers and guards down from the battlements and the many other windows in the wall meant for guards to shoot out of. The Spiders and the Spider Jockeys leapt up and climbed over the walls and engaged the guards in battle, distracting them and letting the rest of the Ender Army strike forward. Endermen began teleporting up to help fight the Minecraftians and the strong, tall servants of the Ender Dragon easily began tossing the Minecraftians off the walls to a fatal drop or simply beating them to death with their fists and talons.
"Water, now!" Yale commanded as he jumped forward and beheaded an Enderman, before scrambling back to his post as water immediately sprayed out at the Endermen, forcing them to hastily teleport away. The water flooders pushed the Spider Jockeys and Spiders off the battlements, sending them hurtling well over fifty blocks to the ground and disintegrating on the spot with bone-breaking cracks. The guards began rallying again and started to let packs of Wolves and Iron Golems loose onto the Ender Army, and the friendly mobs began tearing the entire swarm of mobs asunder, with even the Endermen being forced to retreat in face of such dangerous foes and soon the size of the Ender Army was rapidly diminished. As the Golems ripped through the ranks of the Ender Army, three hundred warriors were let out to fight and the well-trained fighters quickly slaughtered a great number of mobs, hacking and slashing away until more than half of the invading forces were annihilated, letting out cheers from the defending Minecraftians as it seemed as though Magta, and by extension Minecraftia, would live to fight another day in the Ender Invasion. Never were they to expect that the Ender Army had a hidden trump card.
Three heads. Skeletal Body. Flying. Turning the skies into a darker hue, the monstrosity charged forth…
