The song for this chapter is: The Other Side by Jason Derulo (I prefer the cover by Max Schneider and Keke Palmer).

Since this is Chapter 10, I have decided that it would be special… you will see…

I honestly couldn't stand all the people who I had thought I trusted betray me in one way or another. For a moment, I thought I would surrender to Herobrine himself. No… I needed to find my old friends and protect them.

With no second thoughts, I raced out of Illusionists HQ. Chris happened to spot me, "He's trying to get away! After him!" All of the Homies hurried after me. Beatrice and the Illusionists followed them.

I ran as fast as I could away from the situation. As I turned to look behind me, I bumped into someone. I faced the person to notice Kitty.

I looked up into the sky, "Thank you Notch!" I turned to her, "Listen, I seriously need your help…"

"I do too! My mortal enemy Oblivion has captured Fury and I have to find her."

"I'll help you. As long as…" I spun around to notice the Homies and the Illusionists heading closer to me. I grabbed Kitty's hand and led her in a different direction. However, the groups still were on my tail. We ended up in the camp of the Enderdragons.

Ian, Mat, and Preston rushed to meet up with me.

"Jordan. What happened?!" Mat nervously asked me.

"It's a long story. I just need you to keep me away from…" Before I said my last words, the Homies reached the HQ. Beatrice and the Illusionists entered moments later.

"Chris," Beatrice warned, "If you dare hurt him…"

"Tell me what happened," Mat quietly demanded.

At this moment, another group came into the camp. It was Sierra, iEcho, and two others who I did not recognize.

"Jordan!" Sierra exclaimed. When I saw her, I found the diamond and budder necklace around her neck. Sierra was the One with the Golden Necklace.

Chris paid attention to Sierra and took hold of her arm. He placed his sword up to her throat, "Surrender yourself or I'll kill her."

"You wouldn't," I snarled.

He brought it closer to her skin, "Try me."

"I would rather surrender to Herobrine."

"What did you say?!" a loud familiar voice boomed out.

"I would rather surrender to Herobrine."

The King of the Nether appeared out of thin air. He stood in the middle of all of the groups.

"Somehow you have figured out my plans. I had planned to kill Sky and the One with the Golden Necklace. Sky, as your leader, wouldn't have lasted a day if it weren't up to me. He lost his own necklace anyways. I figured out that he gave it to some girl to protect it from me. And as for the girl, I've been trying to find her for years."

I quickly shot a glance at Sierra and then placed my thoughts back on Herobrine, "I'll give up myself for the One with the Golden Necklace and Sky's freedoms."

"Ha, you would do that?"

"Of course." I angrily glared up at him.

"If you say so."

Sky, beat up, covered in bruises, and bleeding in several places, materialized next to him. Everyone gasped. All of the current and former Sky Army recruits besides for me: Sierra, iEcho, Preston, Ian, and Mat hastened to help him.

Herobrine walked up to me and took me by the hand, "Off to the Nether we go, Mr. Sparklez."

I'm in the Nether. Hundreds of zombie pig men try to smack me with their gold swords. Red, hot, fiery lava surrounds my feet. Herobrine, the godly man of fire, smirks from his nether brick castle as I start to burn. In a rage of hope I leap from the lava and sprint to a portal. Before I go through, however, more zombie pig men attack me from all directions. One happens to finally get his arm on mine. The other pig men drag me to Herobrine and force me on my knees. One moment and my life is gone.

This is where the story ends. This is where I finally fall to Herobrine, my one and only enemy. But not today. Not today.

"This cannot happen to me," I thought. Before he chopped my head with his sword, I determinedly jumped up and made my way to the portal. This time the zombie pig men did not catch me. I slipped through the portal and back into the real world. Quickly, I met up with Beatrice, Sierra and her two friends who she told me were Yosh and Snowy, iEcho, Kitty, Mat, Preston, Ian, and a limping Sky.

"Jordan," Sierra said. She hugged me and almost fell onto her knees but I caught her, "I so glad I found you. But you were also found by Herobrine."

"You're in serious trouble. I hope you know that the necklace you're wearing is actually Sky's and it is really powerful," I told her.

"I know."

"Huh?"

Sky continued, "Herobrine was after me when I still had the necklace. To protect the Sky Army, I gave it to someone I could trust completely. That would be Sierra."

"Sky knew that I wouldn't be found by him. Who would guess that some nobody would have possession of the Budder King's trusted necklace?" Sierra added.

"You're not a nobody," I stated. Holding her hand, I faced the rest of my friends, "We have to defeat Herobrine once and for all. I can't do it all by myself, so I need all of your help."

Kitty piped in, "What about Fury?"

I sighed, "We will rescue him first. For you." She smiled, "Do you have any idea where he could be?"

"With my arch enemy, Oblivion."

"Oblivion?!" Sky surprisingly questioned.

"How do you know her?" Mat requested an answer.

"Believe it or not, she's my cousin."

Even though I did not personally know this "Oblivion" girl, my mouth gaped open in shock.

"Sky, why didn't you tell us you had a freaking cousin?!" Preston queried.

"Cause I haven't seen you guys in months! I had beaten by those damn squids."

"But I haven't told you where Oblivion's hideout is…" Kitty told us.

"Where is it?" Sierra asked.

"The Aether."
