-Chapter 6: The End?-

Steve opened his chest. He took out armor of light blue and put it on. Then he took out an equally blue sword, a bow, two stacks of arrows, a potion of strength, a potion of health, a potion of harming, and a stack of ender pearls. He then went back down the steps and into the obsidian portal. "Now let's find out what's going on in here." He started the trek to the spot where the mobs were gathering. But half way there, he was attacked again, this time by blazes! "You are the last thing I want to see." said Steve, as he pulled back the string on his bow and began to rain down arrows upon the blazes. "I'd better go before any more appear." After about thirty minutes, he knew he had made it when he found a huge group of different mobs gathered together, all surrounding and facing one single spot. And what's more, Steve call almost feel something from that area, tugging at him...

Energy gathered, and in a short time, a portal formed. Strange block figures walked out of it. "What is this!" one of the hooded creatures began. "I'm all... blocky! Even my fingers are gone!" "Don't pay attention to that. Just remember what we came here for." "Hey guys, I don't mean to interrupt your conversation, but in case you haven't noticed, we are surrounded!" They all prepare to go in their fighting stance, but fumbled about, obviously not used to this form. "Looks like I will have to save them." whispered Steve. He pulled out his bow just as the mobs dove in, and began taking them out one by one. He then took an ender pearl and threw it up to the cloaked figures' position. "Here, take this and throw it down there!" Steve said, pointing down. He threw his and disappeared a few seconds later. "Should we really trust him, I mean he could be one of them." "We have no choice. Let's go." They all threw there's, and landed a few blocks away from Steve. "Follow me," said Steve, leading the others back to the nether portal. Once back in his house, he turned around to face the mysterious men. "Who are you guys, and what were you doing in the nether?" "We are searching for something. Could you take us to the void?" Steve thought hard. "The void? What do you mean?" "Don't you have anything that resembles a void?" Suddenly, Steve came to a conclusion. "You must mean the end, right?" The men's faces suddenly became hard and cold, hen went back to the expression they wore before, making him nervous. "Yes, take us there." "Well then, follow me."

The group went over to a cave about fifty blocks away from Steve's house. Once inside, they saw that the cave was mildly dark, lit only by a few torches. Further down, they all began to feel heat and see a warm glow. They soon came across a pit of lava, a iron door on the other side. "Sorry, I really like to build security or invent things with redstone." "Security? And who do you need to secure yourself from?" "Well, mobs. Actually, they don't come in here, they just wander around, or attack me if they can." "So you are the only... one of your kind?" "Yes." Steve turned to face the lava, when a big wave of realization hit him in the face. "Hey, wait a minute. If I'm the only one of my kind, then what are you?" said Steve, pointing his blocky hand at the strange group. "Um, well, that's not what we meant. Of course we are one of your kind." said one of them. Steve looked at him questioningly. They didn't sound too convincing, but it was too early to start accusing. "Stand back." said Steve, digging up a specific block. Underneath it was a lever. When he pulled it, a very narrow stone bridge rose from the lava, providing a way across. They all carefully scaled it, eventually reaching the other side. Steve broke another block by the door and pushed a hidden button that was underneath it too. The iron door opened for a short amount of time, allowing them all to quickly escape the lava. "Yes, we are away at last! It was like a volcano in there," exclaimed one of the cloaked figures. As they continued to walk, they passed a system of chests that were lined up in the wall. Soon, they came to what looked like a rail system. "This minecart system will lead you to the ender portal." "Uhhg, soo many portals!" said one of the men, clearly exhausted. "Well, as I was saying, there is only a few carts, so some of you will have to stay," continued Steve. "So only two can go since I only have two carts. Obviously, since I'm your guide, I will have to go, and only one of you can come. We'll send the carts back for you guys. So, who's coming?" "I'll come." "Okay then." Steve jumped in his cart and began riding, the other one right behind him. After a long while, they finally reached their stop. They were inside what looked like a massive dungeon. "Well, when I found the portal, I never really bothered to clear any of this. This is the stronghold that it's found in." They ventured threw a few doors and traps until they finally reached the portal. "You could of at least cleared the traps." "Where would the fun be in that? Well, anyways, your friends should be here shortly. Do you want to wait f-" "No." Steve looked away and whispered to himself. "Sheesh. Pushy..." He looked back at the man, wanting to ask more questions. "So what do you even want with this place?" "That is none of your concern." "Well then, you can kiss this guide goodbye." "And?" "And there are a lot of tall, dark, teleporting mobs that kill whoever looks at them." "Okay! Fine. I am looking for, um, a dragon. Yes, that's it. A dragon." His story was starting to sound like he was making it up, but after all, there is a dragon. Wait a sec... "Hey! You barely know about this place right? Then how did you know there was a dragon?" "I'll tell you some other time. But first, lets do what we came here for. At that moment, two of the others came. "The last one of us will be guarding the place. Are you ready." "Yes. Let's continue."They all jumped threw the portal, and on the other end, they appeared at what looked like a floating chunk of stone in the middle of space. "Finally, we are here! Let's finish this." "Yeah, you guys do that, I'll be over here." said Steve. He walked away and sat down, thinking everything over. Hey. I need you to listen for me. Steve gave a jump. "Yup, I'm crazy all right. Now i'm hearing voices in my head." What? No, your not crazy. But I need you to listen. "Okay, maybe I'm not crazy. But how can I hear you, whoever you are." I'll get to that soon. And my name... is Goku.
