It was with a little bit of dread that Creeps swore he could recognize that voice from somewhere.
"It's that disgrace of a Creeper again. Hanging out with these gross zombies. It really is the right place for you!" An Enderman smirked, half his face had been burned but it was quite clearly the Enderman from the tribe they had encountered a few days ago. Or was it months? He had no idea how long he was out cold for. This time however he had come back with reinforcements an entire gang of Endermen with their claws flourished ready for battle.
"We're here to finish out holy crusade in the name of our goddess! We are here to finally destroy that rotten taint which has been fed into the land for so long!" He clasped a hand around a Pigman's head, the zombified thing didn't even notice and continued its idle look.
"Who are you peoples?" Kenzo stammered the might of the group far too overwhelming for his small singular. He was given nothing but glances. His fur, his horns, that tail. They curled their lips in disgust and looked away. They could hardly bring themselves to talk to … to…that.
"You may not be our top priority but you may be a good place to start. After all…" He smirked further his brethren gleefully eyeing their claws "You did kidnap V'tii!" he yelled to the growls of agreement behind him "NowwwraAARGH!" he screeched dragging a Pigman with him his hand had been nailed to its head with an arrow, The Pigman didn't receive the majority of the blow but still squealed gripping to its broken sword responding to brief echoes of life and pain. Creeps couldn't help but sigh looking up he expected to see Henk riding his spider to their rescue but no such luck. Instead a rather dishevelled Miner with a scruffy red beard and a chuck of glow stone hastily taped to his helmet had fired the offending arrow
"Yer rotten monsters" He yelled " You've taken everything O' mine and I'm gonna take it back!"
"Get him! Get him!" The Enderman hissed sending off his troops to the human. Staying behind he glared at Creeps and Kenzo stopping them before they even started to run. With a snarl he tried to lash out but the Pigmans weight kept him in place, swearing under his breath he grasped the Zombies head and snapped the arrow out of it. The Pigman Squealed and thrust it's sword about wildly trying to hit its target
"Aaah get off you foul excuse for a beast!" The Ender' yelled and pushed the Pig into the lava fountain. Bad move. With most of his tribe distracted there was no one to notice a deep rusty moan
"Well shit" Creeps stated rather wide eyed. As if summoned by some unseen force a Blaze had rode up behind them it's almost glassy eyes glared at no one but the Enderman with angry intent. The rods circling beneath its head sped up before flinging out fire at a rapid rate hitting the Enderman straight in the back. With a howl he dropped to the ground and rolled trying to put the fire out but along a Netherrack floor it wasn't the wisest of moves as the combustible material also caught fire surrounding him in a ring of fire and screams only being drowned out by the hoarse breaths of the Blaze. Creeps nudged at Kenzo pushing him away, it was best they did not see how this panned out. Making their way past the booby-traps they exhaled deeply with relief behind the village walls. It was such a shame it had descended into chaos. The monsters had made their way to the wall and had begun pulling away at the bricks that made it trying to pry their way in, the fighters who had been on the front line had withdrawn to within the walls , sheer numbers wore down the soldiers for unlike them the zombies did not need to rest or eat, they got their energy from elsewhere.

A little above the commotion leathery wings went unnoticed, happily led by a piece of string it landed on the walls and sat only to watch instead of follow its friend downwards.

It felt utterly surreal to everyone. Zombies weren't unheard of, great swarms of them could come at nights and crawl into villages beating on doors hungry for the flesh within. Anyone would prefer that to this form of Zombie invasion, it seemed a whole lot safer. It probably was. They watched as through a broken hole in the wall one of the Zombie-things had lost all of its limbs and pseudo-limbs to the point where it looked almost like a normal Enderman but without any arms, but it drooled and howled trying to get in through the gap anyway. These things just didn't quit, one Testificate was down on the floor yelling as a severed head had sunk its teeth into his calf briefly before it was kicked off, and even then it slowly dragged itself around with thin strands of sinew emanating from where its neck used to be. There was another human at a wall, flustered he clasped a sword awkwardly in one hand while trying to cling onto a mechanical creation of similar size to him. The robot had many hands and tendrils wrapped around its lower half as the mutants tried to pull it through, seeing him in trouble another human ran over to help. Even in a crisis this one had still dressed snappy in a black suit and a black fedora-type hat he took the sword from the other man's hand and jabbed it through the hole loosening their grip on the robot allowing it to move more freely it also began aiding its own escape and promptly kicked as many of the creatures away as it could with its now free leg.

Kenzo screamed and threw his hands in the air, causing Creeps to spin around with a hiss narrowly avoiding his flailing claws. With fingers in Kenzos fur one of the odder familiar sights Creeps had come across presented itself to them. Only about two-blocks high it has the look of an Enderman but its pale skin and feet that never normally touched the ground told otherwise. Not to mention six thick tentacles lined its back in two rows and curled around aimlessly wondering the immediate area. Its sclera was as black as its pupils ringed by a bright red iris and it cooed with a friendly and welcoming tone.
"Oh it's you… uhm…" Creeps slowed down he hardly remembered his name "…Jake?"
"Huh, what?" Kenzo looked at him
"Oh... Right It's uhm, Joe!"
"What? No his names is Jess" Kenzo hissed
"Yeah yeah okay!" He waved his paws "In case you havn't noticed Lanky is possibly DEAD!" He shrieked making everyone go quiet. No one was quite sure what to do. He was right their friend should have been top priority during this horror-fest but they had been too caught up to organize any kind of search party.

Creeps glared at the floor, stressed and irritable he had no idea what to do but he had to try something. He guessed he should at least apologize for being snappy and forgetting his name, but then again why the string. He hardly had a chance to open his mouth before he noticed it following it up he saw Cregg perched awkwardly on the wall top his head cocked in a confused manner
"That gives me an idea"
