Hey guys. I've been working on this one in my head for a while and wanna get it out. I was gonna wait till I finish Fairy Tail Shinobi but that would take a while so, unfortunately, I decided to get it out while it's fresh so this'll be done alongside Fairy Tail Shinobi. So updates on this and that will take a while. Sorry. I hope you guys enjoy this too and if you don't know Mianite...educate yourself. The story will be separated into 3 series and won't follow the real story at all. In fact, since season 2 brought the whole "different dimentions" into the equation, I guess you could say that this is how I imagine it to go if things were done differently. Also... the Gods aren't siblings as I never really liked the idea of it. You'll see. Also... I'm a Tom supporter and Dianite follower so... yeah.

Mianite: Cycle of War
Prologue
The Land of Mianite would never be the same again after what transpired here today. The storm was brutal outside. Rain poured down hard on the young zombie man's head. Tom looked down over the body of his God. Dianite's body. It wasn't real... was it? Dianite had fallen to Mianite. Thunder clapped loudly across the sky, illuminating the land. Tom gripped the blade given to him by his master hard, almost breaking his skin and causing him to bleed.
If anyone has to pay for this, it's Mianite. But how can you kill a God? Was such a thing even possible for him? If he couldn't avenge Dianite by killing Mianite, then he would have to settle for the next best thing. Tucker. Tom's mission was clear right off the bat. Kill Tucker, become the most powerful being in the land of Mianite and rule it as his master would have.
He knelt down over Dianite's body, paying short respects to him before rushing off towards Tucker's floating home. Tom laughed every time he saw it. Such a perfect prank. Taking down Tucker's home from the mountain and rebuilding it block by block in midair. Then Champwan made it better and made Tucker a ladder out of cake. Honestly, Champ's prank skills were on par, if not better, than Tom's. 'Note to self: take out Champ, should he become a problem to me' Tom thought to himself. Can't be too careful when it comes to the Priest's young apprentice. Speaking of, maybe he should think up a plan to take out Declan to make sure all Mianite followers were taken care of. Problems for another time.

Tom came closer to his friend's home and looked up to see Tucker staring down over the edge to him. This is what it's come to. Either he gets revenge or war. Whatever happens, Tom wasn't going to lose. Not now. Tucker shook his head. Was this really how things had happened? How did it come to this?
"It's over, Tom! Dianite lost. You won't win this fight!" he shouted down to Tom, hoping to get a small bit of sense in him before things got out of hand. Tom didn't listen. Instead, he began climbing the cake ladder towards Tucker. "What are you doing? We don't have to do this? I warn you, Tom, I won't go easy! You keep climbing, I'll start shooting." Tucker readied his bow and aimed it to Tom. Still no answer. Tom was determined to kill him in an attempt to even the odds. It hurt him. So this really is it then. Tucker thought back over the past couple weeks before they knew about the Gods and they began fighting. If the rain wasn't pouring down over him and his face wasn't so wet, it might've been easier to tell whether he was crying for his friend or not. He released the arrow towards Tom. Headshot. Tucker's aim was improving. Tom, being the rash man he was, was killed instantly from not wearing any armour.
New Locale
Tom awoke back in his bed. Damned Tucker. This wasn't going to end that easily. He jumped off the bed, grabbed some beef from his chest and rushed off again towards Tucker's house. Picking up the weapons and items he had dropped when he was killed, Tom made his way back up the ladder and, before he could even make it half way, was killed again.
"God damn it, Tucker!" he cursed as he jumped up from his bed again and repeated his previous actions.
"I told you, Tom! If you want things to be this way then I won't hold back." Tucker replied. Once again, Tom picked up his items and began climbing again. And once again he was dead. This was becoming a pain. If Tom was going to get close, he would need to be able to beat Tucker from a distance. He searched through all the chests in his house for a bow. Where the hell did he put that damned thing? Secret room, of course. Opening the door to his secret room, he ran over to the chest of valuables and searched through it. There it was... but only one arrow. This was going to be difficult with only one arrow. He'd have to make the shot count. Then he noticed something else he'd forgotten about in the chest. An Ender Pearl. And some string. The gears in his head began spinning and he chuckled.
Tucker surveyed the area carefully. Looking all around him, hoping to spot Tom before he could do anything again. It had been a while since Tom had done anything so maybe he'd given up? Of course not. This was Tom. The day he ever decides to give up will be the day Cows learn to fly throughout the land. So... never gonna happen. Tucker narrowed his eyes the moment he saw movement in the distance. Must've been Tom, unless the Priest was now getting involved. Or worse... Champwan... Tucker shivered at the thought.
"Hey, Tucker!" Tom shouted out from the distant tree line. Tucker instantly pricked up his ears and looked over to where the voice came from. And there was Tom over towards his mountainside. Well... where else would he have come from? He was also now wielding a bow. An archer battle? First one to fall wins. A fair fight. But what was that on his arrow? Tucker could see something but couldn't make it out.
"You really wanna try this, Tom? You know that once I hit you, you die one hit." Said Tucker. Tom chuckled and shook his head.
"I know that. But I have a trick up my sleeve. Give me your best shot! We shoot at the same time." Tom raised his bow and took aim at Tucker. Pulling the string back, he smiled an awfully evil smile. What was he up to? Tucker had no choice but to do as was needed. He raised his bow and took aim. Pulling the string back, he sighed exhaustedly then inhaled deeply. "Fire!" Tom shouted. Simultaneously, the two let go of the strings of their bows and released their arrows. Tucker swerved to the side, only just about dodging Tom's arrow. He looked back up to where Tom was and saw that he was gone. Did he kill him again? Can't have. His items weren't on the ground... where was he?
"Hey." Tucker felt the hairs on the back of his head jump to attention the moment that voice hit his eardrums. He spun around to find Tom standing right behind him. Th moment his eyes met Tom's, he felt a sharp stabbing pain in his chest. What in the..? he looked down to see Tom's crimson red Blade of Dianite resting nicely through his chest. Oh... that's what it was.
"H.. how?" Tucker managed to ask before he despawned and was whisked off back to the starter area. He looked around in confusion. "What the fuck?! Tom! What did you do?!" he shouted. Tom burst into a fit of laughter. Barely able to stand up.
"One Arrow... String and an.. Ender Pearl. Amazing what you can do, huh?" he managed to squeeze out in between breaths. That still left one question.
"How the hell am I back at the spawn point?" he asked more calmly.
"I broke your bed." Tom chuckled devilishly. Tucker's eye twitched as he realised how badly Tom had just beaten him. The house wasn't far. Maybe he could get back and maybe his bow and arrows would have dropped on the ground and not up on the house. He rushed back off towards his home.
Tom took his time to examine the ground below and saw some of Tucker's items. In a moment... Tom decided to quickly look through Tucker's chests to see if he had anything interesting. Not much there that was notable. But the Tom spotted it. Tucker's hidden chest. Hidden below his trap chest. Clever. Tom took in upon himself to check the hidden chest. I mean, what kind of man would he be if he didn't plunder the riches of his enemy after defeating him?
He opened the chest and chuckled at what he found. This was exactly what he was looking for. It was time he made this fight interesting. A final battle to end this turf war.

High above from his lookout, Priest Declan watched the fight in disappointment. He sighed wearily to himself. "So much death... what do I do?" he asked himself. He heard footsteps from behind. He didn't need to look. He knew just who it was. "What would you do, Champ?" he asked. Champwan stepped forward so that he was side by side with Declan.
"That depends... what would Mianite do?" he replied. A good question there. What would he do? Declan let out a small breath of a chuckle. Looking back down at the battlefield of the two followers of the Gods and began to ponder the question that was given to him. Maybe it was time he proclaimed Mianite's time of peace.
New Locale
Tucker arrived back home. He hid behind a tree just beneath the floating house and quickly scanned the area. And there it was. Luck had struck bright. His bow and arrows had fallen down. Tucker smiled and rushed over to them. Unfortunately, his hopes fell short when Tom jumped down from the half point of the cakes, just low enough to survive the fall, and landed between Tucker and his bow.
"How do do, Tucker?" he said with a devilish smile. That was never a good thing to see. Tom raised his blood red blade towards Tucker. "Ready to finish this?" he asked.
"Fine... get it over with." Tucker accepted what was to come. There was no fighting it. Tom had got the better of him and was now on top. Tom's smile seemed to intensify. He pulled out a glowing Diamond blade and threw it to Tucker. He caught the blade easily and swung it around skilfully. The Blade of Mianite? What was Tom doing?
"First to die loses. That will end this annoying fight and we can get back to being friends again." Tom said to answer the puzzled look on Tucker's face. Once Tucker managed to take in what was said, he smiled back. His head lowered so his cap was shadowing over his face. Only his smile could be seen. He swung the blade around again and took a stance.
"Alright, Tom. On last one. No salt on who loses and no more fighting afterwards." He said.
"Heh.. no promises on the no fighting." Tom chuckled.
The two readied themselves for this final fight. Sharing a look to say that they were ready, thy leapt forward to each other and raised their blades high. As the two came close, a loud clap of lightning shot out as thunder struck between them, making the earth quake. From the thunder strike came Declan, his arms extended out to separate the two.
"Enough! My Lord has had enough of your fighting. This needless death has gone on too long. It must now come to an end!" he shouted as the two managed to figure out what had happened. "I am done watching you two kill each other. You squander the immortality you seem to have. I understand that it's a fun thing to play with because you are from some other world but you cannot continue to pain the land red. And so, I am proclaiming Mainite's peace. From now on, you may no longer kill each other. You can also no longer steal from one another too. So go home and calm yourselves!" he demanded. Tom didn't seem too impressed.
"Pfft... why should I listen to anything Mianite tells me to do? I listen only to Dianite."
"Yes... and he's dead, isn't he. So now you either listen to Mianite and respect this peace or I will use the power the Lord gave me and take away that immortality and make you live life here Hardcore. Sound fair?" Tom frowned as he stared at Declan. He was serious. As much as he hated it, he'd have to comply. He shoved past Declan and Tucker, bumping shoulders with the two as he grumbled something about cheating priests and their fancy choir boys. The two brushed off their shoulders and continued talking.
"So... no more war?" Tucker asked, a bit of hope apparent in his facial expression. Declan nodded with a smile.
"Yes. Mianite has declared that there'll now be rules for you all to follow. If not followed, I will get involved and it won't be pretty. That I can promise you." He replied. "The rules will be simple. No killing, no stealing, no cheating. Just... live in peace with each other. If you have a problem, settle it fairly. If you need to take your frustration out on each other, build an arena."
"Ok... I gotcha. I just hope Tom decides to listen too." Said Tucker, a small look of worry on his face.
"He'll have no choice." The old priest replied. "If he doesn't comply with Mianite's law, he will be taken care of."
Tucker understood what he meant. If Tom tried to act out, he was going o pay the price and he could not afford the bill. From here on out, they'd have to try and get along again and stop fighting. Maybe with Dianite out of the way, they could stop concentrating on their Gods and concentrate more on surviving this land. He looked down. Thinking of who he was separated from. It had been a while now since he'd woken up in this world. He hoped Sonja was ok. Maybe she'll find a way here.
"I'll take my leave now. Go and get Tom and tell him that I've felt the presence of someone on the beach near the 'Spawn point' and you two should go and meet him."
'Him'... at hearing that first bit of news, Tucker had hoped it had been Sonja... but it seemed it wasn't going to be that easy to get her here. Whoever this new arrival was, he'd have to make do with him and see if he'd join Team Mianite. In any case, it was time to go and get Tom.
"Right. I'll contact him through the earpiece we found when we arrived in this world. It's made talking at a long distance so much easier." Tucker turned and put his hand to his ear as he waited for an answer. Declan simply bowed and took his leave. His work here was done.
Tucker waited for a short while for a reply. Maybe Tom was still feeling... salty, for lack of a better word. Hopefully he'll answer soon so they can go and meet whoever this person was.

Tom walked slowly towards his home in the mountains. The thought of that bastard priest messing with his fight with Tucker seemed to irritate him more and more with each passing second. There was a slight ringing in his ear. He'd forgotten all about the earpiece. He tapped it and answered.
"Yeah?" he answered, slight annoyance in his voice.
"Tom... Dec said he felt the presence of someone new on the beach by Spawn. Meet you there?" said Tucker over the voice call. Tom thought for a moment and nodded.
"Sure... I'm kinda already interested. Wonder who it is. Gimme a moment to get some stuff from my house and I'll head over." He replied.
"Yeah, sure. I need to collect some shit from home too. I need to make a real ladder up this thing cos this cake thing is a pain." He chuckled lightly, hoping it would lighten the mood a bit. Tom chuckled back. Good it worked.
"Alright. I'll meet you there, buddy." He tapped the earpiece again and ended the call. As he walked across the bridge over the small chasm to his home, he began to wonder just who this new arrival was and if he could possibly recruit them to Team Dianite. One thing at a time. First, some food, armour and some materials for the newcomer. Maybe iron gear and a couple Diamonds as a gesture of good faith. And maybe as a small bribe for the person to join his side.
He reached for the handle of the door to his home and turned it, slowly pushing the door open and walked inside. There he saw something that sent shivers all through his body. In the middle of the room was a single chest and a sign on top of it.
Our work is
not yet
