Hello, this is Pastrinator64 with another chapter from THE GLITCH. Last time on THE GLITCH we watched as Norman and Lizzy began their new lives. With some help from Jeff they created a bakery in just one day, and now they've got food, shelter, and warmth to comfort them. But now we zoom in on the rulers of the Minecraft Dimension once again, seeing their business going about the world.
Now, let the story commence!
Chapter 10: The Spaces between Dimensions
Herobrine didn't really feel so good at the moment.
Something was making him have intolerable headaches, and while he was lying in bed he wondered what Notch and Queen Enderdragon were doing. He felt weak and utterly useless lying there in bed. Although he was is agony, that didn't stop him from moving around.
Feeling he should find a way to relieve his headache, Herobrine rang the note block beside him three times, and a zombie pigman entered. He bowed when near his master and said,
"What can I get for you, Lord Herobrine?"
"Carl, take me to the Magma Springs, maybe there someone can give me some kind of brain massage to relieve my headache." muttered Herobrine.
Carl bowed again and helped Herobrine out of bed. Moving made his head surge with pain, but Herobrine tried his best to ignore it. He hobbled with the help of Carl into the back room behind his throne. There sat a giant pool of bubbling lava that stretched forty blocks away. This was where all injured mobs—and Herobrine when he was feeling sick—would heal. To Herobrine and mobs in the Nether, lava didn't feel burning hot and scorching, but instead set at a comfortable feeling of warmth, more like a hot tub.
Herobrine said hello to about twelve different mobs before he even stepped in, but once he had lowered all but his head into the lava he felt relaxed. There was only way to cure headaches, and that was a magma cube's duty. Herobrine hit another note block on the edge of the Magma Springs and a small magma cube hopped forward.
"What can I do for you, Lord Herobrine?"
Herobrine had only had this bad of a headache once before, and the magma cubes had to do something he still disliked. They had to enter his brain and find the source of his headache as they were the most flexible.
"I need you to find the source of this damn headache. If I don't get rid of it fast I'll never be able to rule my empire properly again." cursed Herobrine.
"Yes, Lord Herobrine. I will try and make this feel as natural as possible."
The little magma cube hopped closer towards Herobrine and squeezed quickly into his ear. Herobrine realized at that moment why he hated it the last time this happened, because he felt as though a big slug was crawling inside his head. Inside, the magma cube didn't really mind going through Herobrine's head, and in a quick instant he was pushed up against his brain—which on a humorous note was cubical in Minecraft.
The little magma cube squeezed itself inside Herobrine's brain (really weird) and only had about two centimeters of elbow room. Unfortunately, the magma cube was startled so badly by what he found that he immediately despawned from shock.
Outside, Herobrine was wondering what was taking the little magma cube such a long time, and suddenly he was responded to with a buzzing sensation in his ear. Herobrine tipped his head and bonked the other side, trying to get whatever that buzzing thing was out. For a moment he thought that the little magma cube was coming out with something vibrating, but when he slapped the side of his head once more, he saw one little reddish ball fall out into the lava.
It popped up only for a moment after starting on fire, but Herobrine saw exactly what it was. It was a ball of magma cream.
Notch found himself thinking hard once again. He had finished crafting his newest creation. He had created magnets and a redstone-activated magnet block. He could not introduce this new factor to the entire Minecraft Dimension; only Norman could know. Notch quickly conducted a test up in his study. He placed a lever and a line of redstone wires connected to the magnet block. When the lever was in the OFF position, the large magnets printed into the faces of the block remained blue. Notch placed a block of iron—which was one of the only blocks affected by the magnet block (iron blocks, gold blocks, lapis lazuli blocks, emerald blocks, diamond blocks, redstone blocks, all types of anvils, beacons, iron bars, all rails, both piston types, iron doors, dispensers, hoppers, droppers, both types of weighted pressure plates, all types of minecarts, and other magnet blocks (28 total))—in front of the magnet block and instantly it was pushed away until it was out of the magnet block's range at ten blocks.
Notch flipped the switch into the ON position and the magnets turned red. The block of iron was then pulled back towards the magnet block until they were touching. Notch nodded and destroyed all the blocks to clear his study.
He then tested the magnet item. He held it in his hand and quickly spawned a chicken in front of him. Before the chicken could run away, Notch jerked the magnet a little towards the chicken and it flew towards him. He then jerked it just as the chicken was merely a half a block from his position, and this time it was sent hurling at the wall. Notch stopped the chicken in midair and let it flutter back onto the ground.
After putting away everything he had except for a magnet and a magnet block, Notch made his way down the spiraling staircase leading to his throne room. He had a few more things to do before he went to visit Norman to give him the magnet and the magnet block. Once reaching his throne room, he stepped once again into the room behind his throne where the three portals stood. This time, Notch stepped up towards the End portal. He stepped downwards into the dark and smoky substance, and immediately flew through the other end. He was airborne for only a moment before his feet hit the ground. It was not a particularly soft landing; the obsidian platform was relatively rough.
Notch walked down the winding landscapes of the End until he reached the edge of the gargantuan floating island. On his way there, he shook hands with many Endermen, who relatively respected him because he was on good terms with Queen Enderdragon. Notch fell down a giant ledge and landed on a floating island branching off from the main one without getting hurt. Queen Enderdragon lived mainly in a giant cave deep inside the End's giant floating island. Once Notch was near the bottom, he walked forward until he had reached the stairs leading into her cave.
Notch entered the giant island and walked down a small hallway until he reached a giant cave in the heart of the end stone mass. Inside he saw Queen Enderdragon lying down in the center with a Ghast hovering slightly behind her. Apparently, Herobrine had convinced the Queen to let his Ghast relax her muscles, because the Ghast was giving her a pedicure.
Notch walked slowly until he was near the Queen, who was doing her best to stay still while the Ghast massaged her claws. When she looked over and saw Notch coming, she said,
"Oh! Hello Notch, I've been expecting you. Mmmhmm, Ghast dear, I've had enough."
The Ghast made a random mewling noise and flew out the hallway that Notch had entered in. Once Notch and Queen Enderdragon were alone, the Queen straightened herself and turned back to Notch.
"Alright, I'm ready to enter The Void when you are. I believe you said we needed to check on the Secret Stash?" asked the Queen.
Notch nodded calmly and replied,
"We must bring the Secret Stash to my palace in the Aether and unload it to see what we have to use. We must be ready if the Glitch is ready to fully awaken once again. Alright then, if you're ready then let's travel down into The Void; it's the only way to access the spaces in between dimensions."
Notch and Queen Enderdragon exited the room—Notch went back through the hallway and the Queen just flew magically through the end stone. Once outside, Notch had to hop onto Queen Enderdragon's back. This Void was different from the one in the Aether and the Overworld, and he needed the protection of the Queen to go through it. Once Notch was secured on her back, Queen Enderdragon flew straight down into the infinite darkness of The Void. Notch felt the air around him turn cold as dead space and soon they were diving down deeper. After a long period of flying, the Queen slowed down and landed in the pitch-black area, the floor invisible. Notch climbed off the Queen's back and turned his head to look around.
"The spaces between dimensions will not open until I give the command." said Queen Enderdragon.
The Queen straightened up and let out a deafening roar that was soon lost in the darkness. Notch felt the air vibrating violently as the invisible entrance to the spaces between dimensions appeared. Suddenly, a bright light appeared and cast away the darkness of The Void. There floating in the empty space was a white vortex, which looked out of place in the darkness.
Notch entered the vortex and was transported into a vast white room where the lighting was still quite dim. Queen Enderdragon could only fit her head through the vortex's hole, and she watched as Notch crossed to the end of the room. Placed on every block making up the walls were item frames, and as a total there could have been at least 1,000 of them. These were the Mod Capsules. Every item frame held a mod item or block. Notch didn't have time to look at everything; he skipped the food, the materials, and the new blocks to move onto the mod weapons.
Using his powers over the properties of all in the Minecraft Dimension, Notch conjured a slip of paper in his hand and wrote down every single mod weapon being preserved in the Mod Capsules. The list was so large he needed ten slips of paper to write them all down...

Notch thought to himself /give Herobrine Mod Capsule lists and /give Queen Enderdragon Mod Capsule lists, and his two lists were duplicated and sent to his fellow rulers through the command. The Queen dropped the lists in front of her and read both. After finishing, she took them back and looked up at Notch, who was now facing towards her.
"These are all the mods we must rely on when the time comes?" asked the Queen.
Notch nodded and looked back at the walls of Mod Capsules.
"If things become worse, these Mod Capsules must be opened once again. It has been 400 years since we had to do this, and I'm not sure we can open them up unless we somehow gain more powers. So at the moment, we must wait for the situation to worsen before we decide what to do about the Glitch. Now then, now that I have sent these lists to Herobrine as well, I believe we can head back into the End. Shall we leave?" said Notch.
The Queen nodded and pulled her head out of the white vortex. Notch took one last look at the Mod Capsules before exiting the room. He was back inside the spaces between dimensions. As Notch was climbing up onto the Queen's back, he suddenly realized something.
"Queen, where is Herobrine? Shouldn't he have met with us?" he asked.
Queen Enderdragon zoomed high up and they entered The Void once more.
"I asked him to come and see the Mod Capsules, but he said he didn't feel all too well, so he stayed in the Nether." she answered, sounding confused herself.
Once Notch and Queen Enderdragon had exited the depths of The Void, the Queen flew down onto the surface of the island near the End portal. Notch hopped back down to the ground and bid the Queen goodbye. Notch stepped up onto the frame of the portal and stepped down inside where he was instantly hurled back out the other end. He landed a bit easier this time, and when he stepped out of the portal room to sit down in his throne, he saw his servant Mel the pig scurrying up to him.
Notch bent down on his knee and spoke with Mel, who looked like he was scared out of his wits.
"Mel, what's going on?"
The pig jumped up and down and jerked his head in the direction he had come from, all the while squealing wildly. Notch looked down the hallway and saw that more people were running his way. It was his right hand man Steve followed by the rest of the Mojang crew; Jeb, Kappische, Junkboy, and others.
All of them were sprinting, and by the time they reached Notch they were all trying to catch their breath. Notch grabbed the shoulder of Steve and said,
"What is happening out there?! I need to know!"
Steve looked up at him and Notch saw panic in his eyes.
"It's the Glitch! It's attacking the castle!" he exclaimed in between breaths.
Notch looked up and stared off into the distance, processing the situation. He knew it wouldn't work, but in his mind he though /kill Glitch. As soon as he thought the command, words appeared in place of the ones before that read: You do not have permission to use this command. The Glitch was powerful enough to overcome even /kill commands, and that was just about the most powerful weapon Notch owned. But Notch had barely any time to think about the epidemic, because at that moment a terribly loud explosion occurred and the hallway before him shattered to pieces. It was time to act.
That was a LOT of mods! But on another note, oh Poptart! How did the Glitch manage to start an attack on the Aether Palace all the way from its own prison? Will the Glitch manage to escape quicker than should be possible? Find out next chapter in THE GLITCH!
Let's see, that's one, two, three...
