Chapter 1 rewrite

"Hello brother…"

A deep, vibrating voice came from the end of the large ally way a man stood at. He had his fist lightly bunched together and a black top hat resting on his head. He blinked once before narrowing his eyes.

"A question I have for you… is if you came to taunt me. You have no purpose for coming to me why you are here?" The masculine voice chuckled lightly and the man scoffed. He raised his hands to fold them across his chest.

"Cut the crap and come out. You know full well that you are forbidden to enter my city." he stated boldly, waiting patiently for something to happen. All he could see was the walls of black and the dirty bricks along the walls of the buildings beside him. The moon was not bright and it made things harder for the man to see. He dropped his hands once a foot boldly began to step out of the wall. The shadows twisted and turned as the sibling was fully in front of the other. He held a slick grin, watching him carefully. The ally way seemed to be lit up as the man's brother narrowed his eyes. Then the grin fell.

"What is it brother, do you have a plan or something? I can see it in your eyes. You look very confident. I wouldn't put it past you. But you always fail anyways so I don't have to worry about that." The man's brother seemed to be the cause of the lit ally way due to his piercing white eyes. They struck the man as almost intimidating, and the amount of energy the sibling expelled was about his match.

"Not at all Herobrine… it's just been too long… say… let us battle once again. This time one of us will finish the other. We both know there is a way for both of us… so let's fight." The man ignored the last comment made by his brother and he looked at his brother's crooked smile that returned.

"What is this… an offering? You're giving yourself to me? Oh Notch I can't explain the gratitu-"

"Herobrine!" Notch shouted with a snarl on his face. His brother's eyes dulled as he smiled softly.

"fine, fine… a fight is what you will receive…" Herobrine folded his arms together like his brother had done before, slightly and clearly mocking him. He waited with harshly glowing wide eyes before notch huffed at his actions. Notch whipped his hand down for his sharp iron sword to spawn in it; his brother raised his eyebrows at the weapon. "What is that? Where is your light sword you oh so treasure?" Herobrine said, slightly curious and rudely. Notch didn't say anything. He knew exactly what he was going to do, and it would work. He felt guilt settle in his stomach but he shook it away as he was reminded how cruel the God in front of him was. It was a harsh reminder of his cruel reality. His brother was a psychopath and the amount of mental problems the creature had was unbelievable. And because of their age, he was even more messed up than the craziest human could ever get. The man continued to tell himself there was nothing else he could do except this. He would end the problems his brother had and regrow his bond with him this way. Within time, he tried to convince himself that it would work. He shook his head once more as he suddenly reared himself forwards, at his brother. With great speed, he thrusted the sword forwards, Herobrine jumped to the side and chuckled. His brother suddenly had a shimmering diamond sword as he brought it across notch, just barely missing his torso, Notch grimaced as he moved just in time and quickly flashed a foot out to sweep Herobrine off his feet. Suddenly the God felt a splitting pain in his shoulder, blood flashed past his vision as he gasped. With a hiss of pain, he shot the iron sword right into his brother's stomach. The sick sound of ripping skin hit the air again and an even richer sent of blood covered the air heavily. His brother let out a shout of pain as the sword was right through his body. With that, Notch backed away, he left the sword and he jumped up. He grasped the side of a buildings bricks and pulled himself with effort onto a balcony. From there, he jumped up and over the building, landing on the top where he held the wound. His arm was limp since he had been struck where his muscle functioned the rest, but he was able to move his elbow and hand. He turned as he heard the sword he used, clatter to the ground. Then he could hear coughing. Unsuspectingly his brother was in his tracks; he flew over the edge quickly and landed facing Notch with enraged eyes. Notch turned and jumped from building to building, avoiding his brother who was in hot pursuit, landing in the same footmarks. Then Notch dove into the street as he jumped down, landing on the pavement, to jump back up quickly, trying to reach at the building across from him. He landed roughly and sprinted onwards. He sighed as he heard cars screech to stops and Herobrine shout at him from behind. "You really are an idiot! I thought you didn't want your people involved in these kinds of things!" the injured God spat and was beginning to lag behind due to blood loss and pain. But Herobrine pushed on. He had too; he couldn't stop since he came to Notch. He wanted this fight, so he had to finish it his way. But he didn't have luck at the moment. The God ignored him and it took him until now to realize that his hat was gone. With another jump, he landed in another alley way, finding himself cornered. But he didn't try and escape from the area. He could though. "Now look who's stuck…" the injured brother fake pouted and jumped down to corner Notch. He held his diamond sword out threateningly as his eyes flashed in anger and weakness.

"It is you who is stuck Herobrine…" Notch stood up casually and boldly as he glared at his sibling.

Herobrine looked panicked for a slight moment as he whipped around and eyed the lines of creepers, skeletons, zombies, spiders. His smile turned into a clear frown as he looked up and saw skeletons lined up on the roofs. Their bows and arrows where pointed at him. He scoffed and glared daggers at his brother. "'Your' mobs made this choice. It was just me that convinced them. But they saw what was right and decided to help me. There is no escape from this Herobrine. You were right, I did have a plan, and you where foolish enough to follow along." Notch shook his head and Herobrine turned his head back to the mobs, clear anger drawing from his eyes.

"You… you all are IDIOTS!" He shouted in disbelief and the mobs didn't even twitch. "Your loyalty is to ME and ME ALONE!" the God snarled loudly and his gaze flickered as he looked for any sign of faulty in the mobs decision. Once more, he received nothing as nothing moved. He let out an outburst shout of anger and with another, his sword was viciously whipped at the ground, it made an awful noise as it bounced a couple times and echoed in the ally way. His head turned to the side at the nearest wall, Notch seemed to notice this and Herobrine leapt at the wall. The God sank into it and was gone. He was a black shadow on the wall, darker than the shadow that he had sank into. A long black clawed hand reached into the wall after him. The being pulled an arm back as more tried to help it tear out the God. An agonizing screech filled the alleyway as Herobrine was ripped from his shadows forcefully. His arms where yanked back as his head was bent in clear agony and as soon as the endermen yanked him fully out, the pain was too much for Herobrines body, and he was unconscious.

Notch had watched and the endermen backed away from the fallen form as the sibling walked over and above Herobrine. "It's a pity… he looks so peaceful now… I wish he looked this soft all the time…" the mobs quietly stood and loosened their stances as they watched the injured Notch bend down and lift his brother easily up from under his armpits. He allowed the unconscious being to lean on him as Notch latched something on the beings wrist. It was a bulky metal bracelet that tightened around the thin wrist. Notch gazed at him with a frown. "it's really too bad it had to advance this far…"
