A/N:

All righty everybody, HarryPotterEncyclopedia24 is back! :D After a successful story before this, The Minecraft Chronicles: Phantom of the Aether finally reveals itself!

Again, I am really honoured that people like my work. So even after having two flamer attacks (yes, I kept quiet. Wanted to ignore like they didn't exist in this world, but meh), the mighty power of fans kept me happy. You guys are awesome, and for anonymous flamers, stop reading if you don't like it. No need to express your opinion that I'm going to wipe off the planet. I have rights to write what I want, and I won't change a thing just because to please you people. There.

I DO NOT, IN ANY WAY, OWN MINECRAFT. Well, maybe the characters… BUT NOT THE GODS

P.S. If you didn't look at my deviantART page, here's one of the key notes that you should know: I decided to drop the rotational POVs, as they are all in one place now and I don't see the point of confusing the readers.

P.P.S. So sorry about the short chapter. It's the prologue, and I didn't have a particular idea of opening this story in any other way, so yeah.

ONWARD

A hooded figure hurried his way along the corridor, muttering under his breath. He took a left turn and entered a spacious room lit by torches that shone with the brightness equivalent to the sun. There, at the end of the room, sat another hooded man, bending over to see something that casted iridescent light all over the table.

The first figure stopped with a rather exaggerated footstep that echoed throughout the chamber. The seated figure glanced at him, waved his hand over the thing to extinguish the light, and stood up.

"Jeb," the man now standing spoke. "You got the message, then?"

"Yes," the first man replied. "But it didn't clearly explain the issue. What is this urgent matter you speak of, Notch?"

"Ah, I shall tell you personally." He beckoned Jeb forward. "Take a seat, my friend. This will take a while." Jeb moved forward and joined Notch at the table.

Sliding back to his chair, Notch talked. "You are aware of the Monster Allies' sudden active status?"

"Of course," said Jeb matter-of-factly. "What else would have disrupted the Cosmic Energy?"

"There are two possible reasons for this," said Notch. "They have found out about the last free Users, or they already knew of their existence, but rose to stop them from doing whatever that opposed the monsters."

"The second option will be most likely," said Jeb. "The Users cannot remain undiscovered with monsters swarming the land."

"I think the same," said Notch. "The Creeper King should have detected some transportation between different worlds, if he isn't dense enough to sense it."

"But I wonder what made those two portals appear," Jeb murmured. "It isn't a natural occurrence for sure. This is suspicious."

"Have you forgotten already?" asked Notch, grinning slyly. "No one in this entire universe has absolute control over the dimensions other than me."

"You did this?" Jeb asked incredulously. "You, the person that I most doubted, brought these Users together?"

"It had to happen someday," shrugged Notch. "Procrastination can ruin everything."

"It's too early," said Jeb urgently. "You should have waited until they fully matured. What good will teenage humans put up against the monster kings?"

"They did more than I expected to," answered Notch. "Recently I found out that the Overworld monsters launched an attack at the Place of Yellow Sands. A group of Users, including the three, snuck into the monster's tower and rendered the bosses powerless. I think that Terrarian kid destroyed their power source."

"It's just sheer luck," Jeb argued. "Your decision was rash. If they had died, the hopes of resurrecting the civilisation would have-"

"I judged it right," Notch snapped. "A decade later, the Users in hiding would have been wiped out. We can't interfere either; thanks to the Pact made centuries ago."

Jeb opened his mouth to argue, but resigned.

"Even though this fight is over," Notch continued. "It is possible that other monster bosses will wake soon." He snapped his fingers, producing a holographic image of all the dimensions layered together. "There are movements that I can sense," said Notch, pointing at the topmost layer where a red light was flashing dimly. "They are indeed monster bosses awakening. The boys should act fast."

"Would they know where to go?" asked Jeb. "They might head to the Nether first."

"Possibly," said Notch. "But I think to leave a little 'note' to ah… guide them to the right place."

"Very well, but I am worried about the bosses over there. They are quite… lethal."

"Yes, they are," confirmed Notch. "Especially that Phantom of the Aether…."
