Notch's POV:

WARNING: This chapter contains 5 Minecraftian Gods, one sadistic psychopathic Demon, teenage love and the famous "Like a Gentlemen"...You have been warned. *Gives you a chocolate* Enjoy!

I stared at the white columns in the hall. I used to look at them with wonder. Now, I stare at them, reflecting my mistakes. All of this came back to me in sudden flashes. My brother had done nothing wrong. And yet I banned him from his home, accusing his of crimes unbeknownst to him. I still remembered the day...the day when it all changed.

*Flashback*

"Brother! I need to speak to you!"

I saw Herobrine hurriedly come in, dripping from the rain that poured steadily outside.

"What is it Brian?"

I asked coldly. How could he pretend he did not commit this crimes? The slaying of hundreds of innocents?

"When will you call me Brother? What is with you? What have I done to you eh? Nothing...and yet you treat me like this!"

"LIKE THIS?! Herobrine you've killed hundreds! You almost killed your SON of Mianite's sake! And YOU have the audacity to ask me why I won't call you BROTHER?!"

*End of Flashback*

I shook my head as I walked into the throne room. I can't think about this. I sat on my throne, pulling out a new device called a...Argh what was it? Ah, yes, it was a I-Pod...I think. One of my minions said it would help me...why not give it a shot? Bored, I tirelessly flipped through the "songs" until I found a interesting one. I let the music enfulge me. But soon I grew in disgust and closed the device. Why is repeating the phrase "Like a Gentleman" over and over appealing? I'm sure I never made mortals this stupid. I heard the door open and turned to see a face I didn't expect to meet. A face aged by accusations and fear. And I let a small sigh escape as I breathed out one word.

"Brother..."

Herobrine's POV:

I sighed as I entered the Aether's Temple, admiring the tall golden pillars I came to love. Then I heard one word, not spoken to me in 18 years.

"Brother..."

I turned and saw my older brother Notch, standing by his throne.

"Notch..."

Before I could say another word, he leaped forward and hugged me, partially crushing my ribs in the process. I hugged him back, resting my head on his shoulder, just like I did when we were kids. He pulled back and looked at my worn face.

"Brine, it's good to have you back..."

I smiled and thanked him. Two years ago, the truth came out that I never committed the crimes against me. Me and Notch had made up, but he always felt guilty. He motioned for me to sit down and we talked about Sky and his son, catching up on the rift cause by our brother. Soon, 10 minutes later our meeting was cut short as we had the council of the god's to attend. Now in the room, we waited for the others to arrive. And as if they were on cue, Mianite, Dianite and Ianite come in. I hear Notch greet they and we all sit down.

"Good, Good. We're all here. Herobrine, Mianite, Dianite and Ianite welcome."

I heard Notch say as I scanned the room. Very few god's came today, which made me worry.

"Is this all of us?"

I heard Dianite say tiredly, his red tail flicking beside him.

"Yes. The god's of the Void, End and Biomes could not come today."

Mianite replied a grim look on his face.

"Why that's 9 god's! Are all of us under war?"

Notch asked.

"Almost..."

I said, shaking my head. If this is what our brother could do...then we were up for a challenge.

"Ok, so were are we as of right now? Were do we stand?...Ianite?"

I asked staring at her deep amethyst eye's.

"Yes?"

She said as we stared at each other. Then I heard Dianite groan and growl at us.

"If your not going to kiss her can you get on with the meeting please?!"

I gave him a deathly stare and reached for my sword. How dare he! But Mianite was quicker.

"Brother! This is a peace meeting! Why must you always be so rude!"

"Oh spare me the details...Your lucky I'm even here! So count your blessing and move on with this! I have things to do!"

I saw Mianite grit his teeth at the sight of Dianite's smug look.

"Speaking about that...Why are YOU here? You hate everything good!"

I heard him snort in response and lay back in his seat.

"Because they're can be only one villain, and that will be me! And why do you think smarty? Or should I not remind you of your son Seto?"

"Guys..."

I heard Notch say, using his ever famous shut the heck up tone. But they to bickering men continued as I rubbed my temple...Oh crap, every dang time.

"Your not the only one with a son. What about Preston?"

"Don't drag him into this!"

"I will if I want to!"

Finally I could no longer hold it.

"SHUT UP!"

I yelled. Both men stared at me, shell shocked. But I continued.

"We're here for a reason, and if you too don't shut it, I will literally throw you into the void!"

I sighed and slumped back on the seat, my head in my hands. Notch mouthed a thank you and continued.

"Ok, so Ianite...do you have any visions? Anything?"

I saw her face scrunch up, a look of trouble on her face.

"Sadly no...I can normally predict or at least sense the future...but these thoughts...their clouded to me. I can only see the aftermath."

"Which leaves us no where..."

I heard Dianite retort. But he suddenly rose...

"Or maybe it does... Brine?"

"Yes?"

I replied, sudden hope filling me.

"Have you talked with the generals of the mob armies?"

"Yes, we held a meeting last week? Why?"

"Well..see...Hold on let me show you."

I watched his blood red arm open up the map of Minecraftia. He grabbed a 4 markers and placed them on the far side of the map, near the end. Then it hit me...the ender king is battling today...

"I see."

I said, and for once, my partner of the nether smiled. As for the others they were clueless. So I filled them in.

"See...It's a battle strategy...the one we used when we were kids Notch. He's attacking the big cities first, then the smaller ones and then the realms. So that means he should next attack..."

Blood drained from my face as we realized what would happen. I barley had time to grab my sword before the wall burst behind us, sending quartz everywhere.

"Battle Formation GO!"
I heard Dianite yell and I ducked behind a pillar. I looked back and saw my brother, Entity 303 with around 1,000 soldiers and a evil look plastered on his face. I nodded at the others and we charged, attacking them unexpectedly. I ran forward ramming every soldier in my path. But Notch and I went straight for 303. We had a job to do and this time, we wouldn't fail.

Notch's POV:

I grumbled as I ran forward, Brine at me side. I didn't want to do this but I had to. It was the only way. I made a swift clean move at 303, but he expected this and easily dodged using his sword to block Herobrine's attack.

"My my...My two weak brothers...looks like I only get better..."

"Shut up!"

I heard Herobrine growl, and I took the chance to lunge at him, I barely missed his head, but succeeded in hitting his shoulder. I quickly jump back, narrowly missing a sword in the stomach. I needed to be careful. He can't kill us, but he can inflict pain on us. He gasped, blood pouring out of his shoulder. And this continued. Swing after swing me and Herobrine battled on, making sure we never got hit, but hitting Entity numerous times. I panted and looked at our defeated and demented brother. But what chilled me was his laughter, his cold eerie laughter. I glanced at a ever puzzled Herobrine, and I watched him slowly grab a enderpearl...why would he? But at that moment, 303's bony rigid voice broke my thoughts.

"You know...I expected to do better...To kill you, but not before I watched you beg for mercy as you bled. Not before I saw the light leave your eyes."

Herobrine and I drew our swords defensively, all while he continued on.

"But did I? See...brothers I managed to outsmart you again...my son, is dead...or almost is...and most of your army slain. And yet I still am here..."

I stared at him, trying to find the brother I once knew, watching him rise slowly, blood seeping through his clothes, onto the ground.

"But you see, dear brothers. This was all a plan...and I have played you like a puppet. I never meant to kill you, only unhinge you. I have a greater plan, and you are just a piece in my games. (If ANYONE can tell me where this is from, I will award you a cookie!) Now I should demonstrate."

And with a evil grin, his bone sword appeared out of thin air and he launched at me. I flinched, knowing I did not have the speed to dodge the sword. And suddenly, time slowed. I saw Herobrine launch the pearl in front of me, teleporting just in time, to save me. And all I could do was cruelly watch the sword enter his chest.

"NO!"

I yelled, the scream etching form the deepest despair in my soul. I bent towards him as 303 and his soldiers disappeared. But what I saw froze. I barley heard the other god's coming. I barley felt Herobrine clutch my hands, as he tried to heal himself. I just had one thought. Apparently god's can bleed.

Ruby's POV:

I looked skeptically at Dan and Jerome. Last I heard from Deadlox, Jerome was in a coma and Dan was Bobby, Drake, Sky and the others, trying to find Entity 303. I was in a shock alright. Bobby wasn't supposed to do this...but then again, I had my own fair share of lies. Bobby thought I was in Boston, not our hometown trying to find a sadistic murderer. And lets not forget the fact that I am now half endermen...Dang it. Herobrine can be revengeful. But now I need to remind myself, it was never Herobrine that tortured me, Bobby, Armen, Grayson and Drake. (I did it again...so if Ruby also went through "The Haunting"...then this is going to get good) It was Entity 303, and I might legitimately kill him for it. I sighed and spoke up.

"Ok, so Jerome...you just woke up and here you were?"

He shook his head and nodded.

"Yea...I was fine...no injuries except for the gash on my chest. And after walking around I saw Trayarus and Dan."

I looked at Trayarus who was nodding. I wanted to reply but Pat interrupted me.

"Speaking about the gash, here are some potions. Jen made them before I left."

"What do you have?"

"Umm...lez see...Ok, so 4 regeneration potions, two instant health and a god potion..."

I shuddered when he said god potion. That brought back many memories...many terrifying memories. I gripped the seat, my knuckles turning ghostly pale, but I didn't care. Anything but this. If I saw Grayson's family or Armen falling again...I...I might scream. I had lived through Herobrine's wrath once and I wasn't going to again. I shook my head to clear those wretched thoughts and saw Jordan leaning in front of me, our faces inches apart.

"Ruby...hey Ruby, look at me..."

I nodded and stared at his intense brown eyes.

"Your okay...your okay. It was just memories..."

I nodded again and for the first time registered that I was crying. I heard Jerome sigh before Jordan enveloped me in a hug. I sat there for a moment...Those years of torture weren't the only things that broke me. My friend during the "split" or the 4 years that we split up helped me a lot. But one night, about a month after Herobrine possessed both me and Drake, he faked his death during a attack and later became the assassin that tried to kill me...more than once. This would happen once in a while...the sudden surge of memories. But just as quickly as they came, they would leave, leaving behind the emotional wreck called me. I plastered a small smile on my face, and playfully punched Jordan.

"Thanks Sparkly pants."

"No problem Rubes, no problem."

I smiled at him, but inside me something deeper growled to life. A desire of sorts...what was going on with me? Why did I suddenly want to...NO! NO WAY...was I going …... no way. I shook my head and looked at Tom, Tucker and Sonja who just came back form trying to patch up Dan, who was also with them. Anything to avoid the smile in Jordan's eyes. I got up, and packed my important items into my red backpack. 16 Enderpearls, check. Sandwiches, check. Potions, check. A freaking ray gun, check. I smiled as I slowly brushed myself off, ignoring Jordan's offer to help me up. I nodded at the seven of them...my partners...my friends. I beckoned the towards the path, grabbing my torch off the wall.

"Well then..." I said with a smile. "Come on then. We have a demon to catch." And with that we moved forward, unaware of the danger ahead.

==Time Skip (25 Minutes)===

I wiped sweat of my brow and chugged the remaining contents of my water bottle. Darn it, it was hot. We had just passed the collapsed bridge that Dan had fallen off of.

"So this is were you last so them?"

He nodded, silently chewing on some butter candy (Mmmmmmmmmm...).

"Yea...this was it. I fell off when the zombies attacked us."

I looked around and frowned. Something was wrong. And then I saw it...tiny red particles...almost like a enderman's warp.

"Guys..."

I said, fear lacing my voice. I didn't need to say anymore. They already knew, and we drew our swords in a single swift move. I heard a small yelp and saw the particles surround Tucker, Sonja and Tom. They gaped for a split second and disappeared, their fallen swords marking the spot that they stood on.

"MOVE! NOW!"

I yelled and we ran forward, running hard and fast from the mist. I quickly eyed some gravel, on the cave ceiling held by a single block of stone.

"Guys! I have an idea."

"What is it?"

Yelled Dan as we dodged fence post's and crumpling wood, falling from the old mineshaft.

"Just run like no ones business ok?"

The trio looked at me quizzically, but nodded. 3...2...1! I thought and mined the cool stone to pieces. I ducked and I closed my eyes and pushed a stumbling Jordan forward, throwing us both on the ground as the gravel collapsed, sealing of the cave. I opened my eyes and saw I was on top of Jordan...Oh My Notch...I yelled profanity in my head, mentally cursing myself, as both mine and Jordan's cheeks blushed red...Dang it! Why does he have that stupid smile on his face! GAH! My thoughts were suddenly interrupted by Dan who gave a loud cough and looked at us, one eyebrow raised.

"Ummeh...If you guys are..done, I'd like to move on now."

It took all my will power to not knock him out cold. But if looks would kill, he'd be dead flat on the ground. I let out a small mumble, cursing the day he was born and got up, offering a hand to a nearly stunned Jordan. Was he enjoying this? He better not or else I swear... To his credit Pat wasn't laughing although I'm pretty sure he wanted to. I was about to pull out four sandwiches when I heard a male scream. My veins iced and my blood curdled as it filled the room, ramming every thought in my head.

"Who was that?!"

I heard Pat and Dan yell. But only one person understood what I was thinking, because his brown eye's now cold with fear, looked at me, warning me to stay in place. But I stumbled forward anyway, blindly trying to reach the very person who yelled. Why? That was my brother's scream.

OH MY GOSH! Why so many deaths? And for the many people who have read this story, here is a clarification. Preston is the son of Dianite, Ruby and ughugh (you'll figure who ugh is if you re-read the last part of both Notch's POV and Ruby's POV) are Entity 303's kids, Seto is the son of Mianite, Captain Sparklez or Jordan is the son of Notch and Sky is the son of Herobrine. Also (spoiler) Deadlox is the son of the Ender King, so we will have Enderlox and Skybrine in the story. And I have yet again added another character to the Haunted...yea...lol. Anyway, there is a OC form, so in the comments just add your OC with these details:
