Chapter 2

Bella rushed over to the entrance of the wall that now surrounds the village. She marveled at the size of it. Rexy and his group manage to finish it overnight and add some neat features such as watch towers with red and black flags on each. She noticed Rexy knawing on a piece of steak, looking unfazed from all the work he put into the wall. She walked up to him with a shocked expression.

"You built this overnight!?"

"Yeah? I did. It was pretty easy, well for me anyway. I don't know what to say about my lovely crew," Rexy said, motioning towards Crabby, who helped with the construction of the wall, fainting face-first into a stone tub full of water due to sleep deprivation.

O"How come you don't feel tired," Bella asked as she tilted her head.

"Oh please. It'll take a lot more than building a wall to make me tired," Rexy replied as he flexed his muscles. Bella giggled at him, causing him to smirk. "You think that's funny?"

"You're funny!"

"I should work as a comedian then."

"I don't think that will be necessary," a familiar voice said. Rexy and Bella look to find Anomaly standing near the asleep Crabby with Parsley by his side.

"Hi Anomaly!"

"Bella, Rexy. We need to talk," Anomaly told the two. Rexy sighed and picked up Bella, placing her on his shoulders. The four then walked off to one of the largest buildings inside the walls, a large house designed to be the temporary home for Anomaly until a castle is built, something that they've never done before. They enter the house and Anomaly closes and shuts the door. The butos were also in there, sleeping.

"What's going on," Rexy asked. He let Bella off of him and she went to the butos, petting them.

"We finally managed to bridge the gap between Animorphs and butos thanks to Parsley. However, they brought us terrible news. Apparently, while they were hunting, a "blockman" as they called it, possibly an original inhabitants of this world, began firing arrows at them," Anomaly explained.

"WHAT!" Bella hugged Beiviz's neck in shock, causing him to awake.

"Well? If they attacked valued members of our tribe, then surely I can lead a search party to find this "blockman,"" Rexy said with a scowl.

"There's more. Their hunt led them to a whole new village a few miles away. We suspect that the village is home to more "blockmen." We have no idea how hostile these people are, so we're staying low until we know these people are friendly," Parsley added. Rexy scoffed. Why was Anomaly being so cautious? Rexy himself could probably take them on himself and win. However, Anomaly's the boss, as well as a best friend.

"You are dismissed," Anomaly told them, opening the door. Rexy walked out, shutting the door behind him, which smacked Crabby as he was walking out, knocking him to the hardwood floor. Anomaly sighed and looked back at Parsley.

"Do you think we should meet them diplomatically," Parsley asked.

"It's only a matter of time. Let them come to us before we try our next move."

Flasaur and his late decided to rest beside a tree as he watched his two children play. He helped Rexy's group with most of the heavy lifting, so he was pretty tired. But at least he got to have some quality time with his family. That was, until he noticed something in the shadows of the forest.

It was large, about the same size as his children. It was black all around, with purple polka dots barely visible. It has a fish-like mouth, which is surrounded by some sort of bony helmet, purple crystals growing around it's body, branches growing on it's six legs, a long, powerful tail pointing upward that ends in some sort of windmill-shaped appendage, and another arm-like appendage ending in some sort of poison spitter.

His eyes widened when he realized the beast was coming directly for his two children. He trumpeted out to them and he and his mate quickly got up. They charged the beast as it was about to unleash poison upon one of his children.

Flasaur sent a punch towards the beast, but it dodged easily. Flasaur then tried to ram into the beast, but it did the same thing. His tusks locked with the beast's helmet as they tried to see who was stronger. Flasaur then punched the beast while it wasn't looking, and then rammed into it again. His weight easily causing the beast's helmet to crack. The beast realized the dangers a cracked helmet, and tried to run to heal up, but Flasaur rammed it into a tree, easily crushing the creature.

It's body turned red and it turned over, disappearing in a cloud of smoke. All that remained was multiple crystals, sticks, it's helmet, multiple bottles of poison, and a disc...wait, a disc?

"Flasaur?" Bella voice rang out as she finally fount him. When she saw him with the items, her eyes widened. "What happened?" She went over to the items and they gravitated towards her, becoming part of her inventory. She spoke to Flasaur in his language and she got on him. They, along with Flasaur's family, ran off to the village to tell them about the disc.

Rexy began placing more cobblestone blocks as the others of his group helped with the building. The castle is currently under construction, and right now the front wall is under construction. Rexy popped his knuckles before he added some more blocks, that was until he noticed Flasaur's family and Bella running to up to Anomaly, who was overseeing the construction.

"The hell's going on now!?" He places his last block and walked over to the two. Bella was frantically telling him of some sort of beast attacking Flasaur.

"He managed to beat it, and it dropped these," Bella said, dropping multiple items. Anomaly picked them up and it revealed the items names.

Ender Crystal, Spectral Crest, Stick x4, Bottle of Poison x3, and Disc AM.

"Disc AM? That's odd...Rexy, did you manage to make a disc player a while back," Anomaly asked. Rexy nodded slowly, and they went to his house. He put the disc in the disc player and it began to play sounds. But these sounds shook Bella to her very core.

"Hello you ningen-ripoffs. Did you really think you would beat me that easily? I don't think so. It'll take a lot more than that to defeat the demon king of Argavid. I've taken over this puny place called "The End," and I've started growing new mobs to terrorize your village. Be prepared, because I'm not holding back this time."

Their fears were confirmed. Amayce was still alive. And now he's in control of an area unknown to them and he's creating new beasts to kill them.

"What do we do," Bella asked in fear as she hid behind Rexy.

"If he can create mobs now, he must me more powerful than before. We're awaiting your command," Rexy told Anomaly. He began to think. What's the best course of action to take now?

"We'll wait it out. We are a stron tribe. We'll destroy anything he throws at us," Anomaly said. Rexy smiled while the others nodded.

"Yes sir!" They all walked out, except Bella.

"What about the blockmen tribe? How would they fair against the creatures Amayce sends out?"

"They'll have to deal with them without us for now. Once we find out their friendly, we may help them," Anomaly replied. Bella looked down and nodded. "Is there something wrong?"

"I have a feeling that I'm, no, we are being watched," Bella told him. Anomaly shook his head under his helmet.

"Its probably your imagination. Nothing would watch you besides Sporchuvak, us, and maybe a few chickens, but that's about it," he told her. Bella looked at him with a smile before running out. He sighed before looking out the window. When he did, he noticed what he thought was one of those blockmen, but it disappeared quickly.

He swore it had completely white eyes.

It was odd, but he probably was seeing things. Anomaly walked out, and decided to go for a swim in his normal form. Finding a large lake, he jumps in before transforming into his normal form, an anomalacaris. He swam around, looking around at the squid that apparently also inhabit this same lake. It was also pretty dark, but he was used to it. However, it didn't help him see the fish-hook that was being flung around. One of them got a lucky hit and it embedded itself into Anomaly's exoskeleton. He was flung right out of the water, but he managed to form a ball of water around him. He floated in the air as he noticed his "attacker."

It was another blockman, similar to the one described by the butos, but it's face clearly showed that it was loud and idiotic. He was punching the air apparently trying to get him.

"What do you want!?"

"*gasp* SQUIDS CAN TALK!" Anomaly cringed deeply on the inside. He's one of those people. Not wanting to deal with somebody like him, he began to float off, back to his village. However, the idiot was persistent. Even after coming back onto dry land, he continued chasing Anomaly.

"Go away," he yelled. The blockman continued spewing idiotic banter as he made it all the way to the village. He simply flew over the wall, causing the blockman to ram into it.

"Is there a problem," Rexy asked when he noticed Anomaly float up the wall.

"A blockman," Anomaly said as he transformed back into his humanoid form. Rexy and Anomaly peered over the wall to see the blockman trying to jump up the wall to no effect.

"Is he retarded!? Nobody can simply jump up this wall besides maybe a frog Animorph," Rexy questioned.

"Appears so. I'm going to assume that he'll be gone by tomorrow. Keep an eye on him will yah?" Rexy nodded and looked over to the blockman as then sun went down. For the next few hours the blockman tried to mine through the wall with a dead bush, but apparently he wasn't good at it. Rexy tried to repress his laugh throughout the night. As dawn came, Anomaly came back to see the blockman still at it.

"I can't believe he's still doing it," Rexy grumbled, trying to stay awake.

"You've done enough, go get some rest, it's about time I deal with him once and for all," Anomaly told him. Rexy nodded and walked off, going back to his house to sleep. Anomaly floated down to the ground as the blockman continued on smacking the wall with the dead bush.

"Hello my good sir! Why are you here of all places?"

"How do I mine," the blockman said throwing the dead bush into the air, which then went through him and fell to the bottom of his feet, to where it then gravitated back into his hands.

"What's your name," Anomaly asked. He kept his hand on the hilt of his sword in case the blockman broke into hostility. However, his senses sudenly detected something. Turning around, another one of those beasts that attacked Flasaur was charging straight at him.

Anomaly jumped and floated in the air as the beast collided with the wall. The beast shook it's head and turned towards the blockman, who had went back to mining with a dead bush.

"Hey! Get out of there!" The blockman didn't listen as the beast turned it's appendage towards him. Anomaly got in front of the blockman and blocked the poison glob that was spit out of the appendage. He then summoned multiple balls that he ping-ponged towards the beast with his sword. The balls hit dead on, and he summoned more to throw at the beast.

"*gasp* A chicken," the blockman exclaimed as he began to chase after a pig. Both Anomaly and the beast were VERY confused on what happened. However, Anomaly regained his composure and sent the balls hurdling at the creature, who was forced to take the blasts. Anomaly then charged at it with his sword. With one fell swoop, he fell the beast. It went red and poofed into smoke again, leaving the same drops, except the disc.

"Thank goodness their BOTH gone. Let's see what these "Ender Crystals" do."

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Okay, finally done. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. If you want to see your ideas for the next chapter, like new events, new characters (fan-favorites and OC's accepted) and even new enemies, go ahead and place a review.
