A/N:Hey guys, Icecrafter here and this is the long-awaited chapter 6. Sorry for how long it took. I had a lot of school but its finally out. Please review and enjoy!

Chapter 6

Jordan spares an enderman

Sikrali hissed angrily and glared at us. He directed the evil stare at me, possibly because the enderdragon punished him.

"You all shall perish. Except you," Sikrali pointed at me, "The enderdragon wants to keep you as a little plaything. I see that the ice creepers didn't stop you. Pathetic beings."

Ice grinned and said "Well, I'm the king now and I have full control over the "pathetic" beings. So die!"

Ice tapped his foot and two blue creepers emerged and advanced towards Sikrali. Two of Sikrali's guards charged. The blue creepers simply exploded into shards and killed the guards. They then reformed and charged at Sikrali.

Sikrali smiled and opening his mouth spat out a wave of gunpowder which covered the blue creepers instantly. Sikrali then stomped his foot and the gunpowder caught fire, burning Ice's creepers to ashes

"How was that?" Sikrali asked the enraged Ice.

"DIE!" Ice charged at Sikrali, who simply spat gunpowder out again. Ice formed a shield and blocked the sulphur. He continued charging and summoned a gigantic block of ice that shot straight at Sikrali.

Sikrali smiled again and shot TNT out of his mouth, blowing the ice ball to bits. Ice swiped at Sikrali who leapt into the air and shot 3 more bocks of TNT which blew Ice back to us.

Casey drew her enchanted bow and tried to shoot Sikrali but Jason nudged her leg and her shot missed. Jordan stepped forth and drawing the Bow of Destiny, fired an arrow at Sikrali. The arrow exploded on impact and knocked Sikrali back.

"Very nice, but I am immune to all explosives. Are you?" Sikrali then spat TNT out at us.

"Scatter!" Casey yelled. We jumped away as the TNT exploded, turning a tent into ground zero.

I asked "Are you immune to grenades then?"

I tossed a grenade at Sikrali and to my surprise; both Sasha and Jason ran after it.

The grenade didn't hurt Sikrali 1 bit but the bites from Sasha and Jason did. Sikrali quickly kicked them away and Casey lunged, drawing out her enchanted diamond sword. Sikrali was ready and opened his mouth and I swore I could smell sulphur.

Quick as a flash, Casey tossed a block of iron which expanded to full size and slammed into Sikrali and knocked him backwards. Jordan drew out his bow and launched several arrows which electrocuted him.

"ARGGGGHHHH!" Sikrali screamed in agony and fell to the floor.

"Not so tough now are you?" Ice smirked at Sikrali.

"Ice, you barely did anything!" I told him.

"Neither did you!"

"I have no weapons!"

"Ok. Ok. My bad."

Sikrali suddenly recovered and lunged with surprising speed at Jordan and slammed him down. Casey rushed forward and kicked the creeper general off. She took out her bow and drew it, aiming at Sikrali's head when he lunged again, breathing fire straight at her.

Ice hastily formed an ice shield in front of her, blocking the fire. WhiteTigerz vanished and reappeared behind Sikrali and knocked him over with an expert kick.

Sikrali jumped up again and slammed into WhiteTigerz, and then ran towards the forest, trying to escape. Sasha leapt in front of him, fangs bared, startling Sikrali long enough for Jason to shoot cobwebs, trapping him.

"Surrender now! You are trapped." Casey shouted at him.

"Never!" Sikrali's reply came.

"Die then." Casey drew her bow and Sikrali closed his eyes.

Twang! The arrow hit Sikrali square in the forehead and he collapsed.

We stared at the creeper general's corpse for a few moments in silence before Casey told us to move on.

"We need that map and a weapon for Jake." She reminded us.

We reached another tent and a chest was there too. A zombie charged at us and a skeleton drew his bow.

Twang! Twang! Jordan and Casey's arrows hit the undead warriors and they disintegrated.

We walked in and I opened the chest and inside was a map.

"This is it!" I said. "Let's go!"

WhiteTigerz cut in. "Is it me or is the chest's latch slightly orange?"

Before we could answer, alarms blared and we realised it was a trap.

"It's a trap!" Ice said.

"Yeah. Kinda obvious." I said, pointing at the large group of mobs and endermen approaching the tent.

We ran out of the tent and turned the opposite way but found another group of mobs on the other side.

We were surrounded.

"Well, what now?" WhiteTigerz asked

"Fight?" Ice asked

"Fight and run. We can't take so many mobs so just clear a path of escape. Damn. Why can't my bow hit the endermen like Jordan's?" Casey replied.

"Charge!" I yelled

We ran straight at the smaller group of mobs and I started tossing grenades.

Boom! Boom! Boom! About a quarter of the mobs fell.

Casey lunged at a group of endermen with Sasha and Jason behind her and they quickly ripped through the mobs. Ice shot ice shards that pierced through a bunch of mobs, killing them.

WhiteTigerz vanished and reappeared, cutting open a mob each time while Jordan shot arrows that seemingly caused the mobs to disintegrate instantly into dust.

A few moments later, we completely destroyed every mob.

"That was easier than I expected. We killed them all." Ice said.

"Are we forgetting something?" I asked and turned around.

A large group of mobs charged at us.

"Oh right. The other group." Ice said and shot ice missiles at them.

I tossed more grenades and we charged.

We cut down a large number of mobs before things went wrong.

An endermen caught Ice off guard and slammed him to the ground. WhiteTigerz rushed to his aid and was about to gut the endermen when a witch tossed a potion of poison and he collapsed. I rushed to help them and got punched in the face by a wither skeleton. Jordan shot volley of arrows and killed the monster.

"Go Jake. Find the weapon and return to help us. We will save Ice and WhiteTigerz!" Casey yelled.

I hesitated for a moment before rushing out of the battle, tossing a few grenades behind me.

I ran out and saw a red tent. 4 endermen and 2 zombies were guarding it.

I dashed towards that tent and tackled one of the endermen and began beating it up. An endermen teleported behind me and grabbed me up into the air. A zombie wearing full iron armour charged at me with a stone sword in hand. I kicked it away before elbowing the endermen holding me. It dropped me and I ran into the tent. Another endermen lunged and I punched in the face hard. Dodging the other guards, I opened a chest at the end of the tent.

Inside was a blue sickle-like blade, emanating blue energy. I grabbed it and swung it at the 2 zombies attacking me, decapitating them instantly.

A thought formed in my mind. It sounded crazy but I tried it. I swung the blade and a wave of blue energy shot out and hit all 4 endermen, killing them.

I opened the Complete Guide To Minecraftia and read through the weapons section. The Hand Of Fate, it read. A weapon crafted by Notch, Herobrine and the first ruler of Magta together to slay the demons let out by the Wither. It is incredibly powerful and is enchanted with a sharpness 8 enchantment as well as a Smite 12 enchantment. Beams of energy can be shot out of it and kill mobs.

I closed the book and kept in and rushed out to help my friends. I tossed a grenade and killed a couple of mobs and swung the Hand of Fate. A wave of blue energy shot out and decapitated many endermen. I lunged at a group of undead and slice through all 6 of them in a single blow. I ran for the centre, killing every mob in my way until I reached my team. Ice and WhiteTigerz were unconscious and Casey and Jordan stood back to back, shooting arrows at any mobs that tried to come close. Sasha and Jason were trying to attack any mobs that got past the arrows.

A large slime bounded up and slammed Sasha and Jason away. Casey grabbed her diamond sword and sliced it apart, only for it to split into 4 smaller slimes. As Casey was distracted by the slimes, a couple of endermen and a witch got through and the witch started chucking potions. Jordan turned around and shot them mid-air. He aimed at the witch and killed it. As he was about to turn back, a spider shot webs at him, trapping him.

Meanwhile, Casey had killed the slimes and was about to help Jordan when the four endermen surrounded her. She cut 2 down but 1 of them managed to kick her hard and she fell.

I jumped in and killed the spider that was about to kill Jordan and then killed one of the endermen. The final endermen managed to dodge my blow and I punched it. It fell to the ground and I was about to kill it when a wither skeleton slammed its stone sword into me. I fell backwards and stood up just in time to block the second blow from the skeleton.

Meanwhile, Casey whistled and Sasha and Jason reappeared and lunged on the enderman's back. Casey then stood up and decapitated the enderman.

I sliced my blade across the wither skeleton's head and killed it. I scanned around and counted about 20 mobs left.

"Got the weapon?" Jordan asked while taking out a skeleton.

"Yep. This sickle blade here. The Hand of Fate." I said.

"Good. Can you take out that group of 6 zombies, 3 skeletons and that 1 horrible wither skeleton? 1 hit WhiteTigerz after he was poisoned and he fainted so be careful." Casey told me.

"Jordan, you take out those 5 endermen there? I'll handle these 4 spiders. Ready? Go!" Casey yelled and we attacked.

I rolled under a skeleton's arrow and unleashed a wave of Smiting energy that killed 2 zombies and all the skeletons. The 4 zombies and the wither skeleton charged and I swung my blade, instantly killing 2 more zombies.

The last 2 zombies and the wither skeleton backed off a little, looking wary. The wither skeleton then spoke to the zombies about how they would attack me. Fortunately, I could understand them.

"You 2 go on a head on charge and when he is distracted, I will kill him from the back."

The 2 zombies charged at me and I dodged one of their attacks and sliced 1 zombie into half. The other one blocked my first blow with his iron sword and I quickly kicked him down. I raised my sword to finish him when I heard the clattering of bones behind me. I rolled out of the way and the wither skeleton's sword stabbed the zombie, which disintegrated. I quickly stabbed the wither skeleton and it died.

I turned around to see Casey, Sasha and Jason murder the last spider. Jordan had dispatched 3 of the endermen already. He turned and shot another one which collapsed in pain and Jordan quickly fired another shot into it and it died.

The last endermen was staring in shock and horror at the terrible death of his comrade. Jordan drew his bowstring… then eased it. He nodded at the enderman, which teleported away.

"Why didn't you kill him?" I asked, surprised.

Jordan sighed and said "I saw his eyes. After looking at his comrade killed by me, his eyes…changed. It was not one of a killer but of a creature with amnesia. Maybe the Enderdragon are controlling them? Maybe…"

"Maybe we should go. More mobs are going to come." Casey said.

We agreed to set up camp and we carried Ice and WhiteTigerz away.

"Guys. Look." Jordan pointed at a bunch of webs.

Casey glanced there. "What? Just webs…oh no."

We were looking at where the creeper general died.

And his corpse was not there.

"He survived. Bad for us. Let's get moving. We will kill him again another day." I told them and moved on.

We moved through the forest and went around a mountain. Casey set up a shack with some wood she had and we entered.

"Whoa. Where are we?" Ice had woken up.

Jordan explained what had happened while me and Casey set up beds and a door.

"And Sikrali survived and we ran out here in the woods and we set up a shack and you woke up and…"

"And you are terrible at explaining boy! So anyway, WhiteTigerz is still unconscious so let him sleep. You all go get some rest too. I'll take first watch. I don't think I will ever sleep again." Ice said.

We were too drained to argue and we dozed off quickly.

I woke up in the End. The place was still like before, with its obsidian pillars with strange crystals and lots and lots of endermen.

I saw, out of the corner of my eye, Sikrali staggering towards the obsidian platform, the wounds we inflicted on him terrible.

A loud roar that shook the End. The Enderdragon appeared and landed on the platform. Sikrali quickly bowed.

"My, my, my. Sikrali, looks like you failed. Again." The Enderdragon said in a dangerously soft tone.

"I'm so...so sorry." Sikrali stammered in fear.

The Enderdragon looked ready to eat the creeper general but another endermen teleported to the platform and bowed.

"Ahhh. Captain Grako. Any news?" The Enderdragon asked.

"Ye…yes my master. Erst…Erst has fallen to that one. Only 2 endermen survivors. He might come to Magta next. What if he…" Captain Grako stammered.

The Enderdragon roared with so much rage that Sikrali and Captain Grako fell to their feet.

"He will NOT come. He is not strong enough! But I swear. If he gets to The Chosen Hero, you will all suffer fates worse than being torn apart and thrown into the VOID!" The Enderdragon roared. Sikrali and Captain Grako fled to the portal while I felt myself being pulled out of the End.

When my eyes opened, I was in a wonderful-looking paradise sort of place. I knew what place this was: The Aether. Heaven.

"Welcome to my realm." Notch said. He was sitting under a tree that, for some reason, was golden.

"The Enderdragon sounded pretty angry. He said something about my home falling to…that one?" I inquired.

Notch nodded and stood up. He walked around me and said "That is what I brought you here for. Discussing about the next stage of defeating the Enderdragon." Notch walked to a small plant and plucked a fruit from it. "Want a blueberry?"

He tossed it to me before I even answered. I decided it was polite to eat it.

"Well, the person that the Enderdragon was referring to, is someone you need to…"

He was interrupted when a massive fireball exploded beside us and Herobrine stepped out.

"Brother, must you?" Notch asked, irritated. Herobrine apologised softly.

"As I was saying before, the person the Enderdragon referred to, is someone you need to team up with." Notch said.

"Absolutely not!" Herobrine shouted suddenly, startling both Notch and I.

"He is terribly dangerous and unpredictable. He would most likely kill you! You must not even speak to him!" Herobrine said.

"Brother! What nonsense! He is essential in killing the Enderdragon! I know you hate him but this is for the greater good." Notch told Herobrine.

"Whatever. I'm not listening anymore." Herobrine said in an annoyed tone and stepped back into the fireball, which vanished.

"Anyway, check your map and go to the place it tells you to. There will be an important piece of information and probably you will meet that one sometime soon.

"Wait Notch! What is that person's name?" I asked.

Notch smiled and said "His name? It's Zeroxiphalea Diamond."

A/N: Well, hows that for an ending. It's confusing but it will clear up soon. Who do you think is correct: Notch or Herobrine. And here's a question: What do you think the enderman general's name should be? Write the answers down and review what you think of the story. Thanks readers. I'm Icecrafter, Peace out!
