(Mitch's POV)

Waking up with a start, I found myself in what appeared to be a pitch-black room. I couldn't be sure though, the darkness concealed everything. I blinked a few times, trying to get my eyes adjust to the lighting, but it was to no avail. When I discovered trying to see was completely pointless, I concentrated on using my other senses instead.

I was sitting on something, it felt like a normal chair. My hands were bound behind it and my ankles were tied together to what I assumed to be part of the chair. I didn't bother struggling, I knew they would be tied too tight for me to be able to do anything. Listening out, I couldn't hear anything, it was complete silence. An uneasy feeling was growing in the pit of my stomach. Why was it so quiet? So dark? How long had I been sitting here? It could have been days since I last saw anyone.

Saw Ty.

Oh God.

How could I have forgotten? My thoughts flickered back to the past events and I did a mental recap of everything that had happened in the last few days. Or what I considered to be the last few days, who knows how long I had been here? Did he escape? I saw him get hurt, but I couldn't do anything. Not with a diamond sword glued to my throat while I was forced to watch. Those few words I had uttered has cost me a shallow slit on my neck. It was worth it if he escaped though. I moved my head around, feeling the dried blood that had hardened on my skin. Did he escape? But where would he have gone. He must of been able to find help, right?

A creak from behind scared the living daylights out of me. I could see light shining through to land on the floor below me, but I couldn't twist my head all the way around. I heard footsteps slowly approaching my chair, I had no doubt who it was.

"Why, we meet again."

His voice pierced the silence, cutting through it with a razor sharp edge. I didn't say anything, choosing to sit tensed in the chair as I heard him stop right behind me. I was nearly jolted out of my seat as the chair was whipped around with unhuman ease. I was blinded as the sudden light hit my eyes, even though most of it was blocked by the figure in front of me.

After what seemed like hours, I finally opened my eyes. The light shone out from behind the figure, glinting on the metallic parts in his suit. The rest of him was dark in comparison, but not so dark that I couldn't make out his suit with precise detail. Of course, I had seen it before, but I had never seen it quite like this, sitting right in front of it.

I had to look up to see his head, but his features were as usual concealed by his helmet. He didn't move at all, he just stood there looking at me, I was sure I could feel his gaze burning tracks up and down my body.

"What a pathetic little thing you are. You really think you could save your friends?"

I thought back to the last time we had talked, things hadn't gone too well then.

"I won't run away this time."

"Ooh, Mitchie's being all brave and heroic now? I don't think that's gonna get your friends back is it?"

"What have you done with them?"

He paused for a moment, examining a monitor on the sleeve of his suit.

"Don't worry, I haven't done anything with them. Yet. Actually, you're the only one who isn't roaming free at the moment."

"Then where are they?"

"I'm sending a few scouts out right now to find that out actually, thanks for reminding me." He went back to fiddling with the various buttons on his arms. "There's a reason why I chose him out of all of you, this suit comes in handy."

"What do you mean, chose?"

He looked at me, I was guessing underneath that helmet disdain was showing on his face. If he even had a face. Oh god. No, of course he had a face. I mentally slapped myself.

"Haven't you figured it out yet? I don't think this is how your friend normally behaves, or am I wrong. Here, you can look for yourself."

He started to reach up, making the light shimmer off the stainless metal. Grasping the helmet, he slowly pulled it off, revealing messy brown hair and what I assumed my friend would look like in Minecraft.

Well, almost what he would look like. Something stood out.

"H-h-hero...?"

I was a stuttering mess. One glimpse of those eyes, pure white, and I was done. I had to look away, they seemed to suck me into there depths. I could feel them, actually feel them as he stared at me. He existed? I had heard, but everyone knew they weren't true, just a fake video someone had made someday. But maybe it wasn't so fake.

"Yes, you idiot. Herobrine. Say it slowly, as many times as you need. I'll repeat it for you, Herobrine. Got it?"

"I-I thought you were an internet myth."

He seemed to take offence to that, his features twisting in anger but I still refused to look into his eyes. He quickly controlled himself though, any sign of annoyance gone as quick as it had come, his face settled back into an emotionless mask.

"Oh really? Well, whoever said that was wrong. Here I am. I may not be in my true form, but sadly I can't do anything about that at the moment."

"So what have you done with him?"

(A/N) Yes, I know it was an odd place to stop, but I decided to split this chapter up, this is long enough for now, and I can't be stuffed to write the rest of it at the moment. There are other things on my mind. This may be a very long author's note. Also, if you can't figure out who the baddies is in this chapter, well, I'm disappointed. Someone guessed correctly so it's time to reveal :D

School's getting busy, so don't expect too many updates, I'll get them out when I can. Luckily, I managed to finish all my assignments so I had time to write this for you guys, the amount of positivity I've been getting from you guys is crazy, thanks for the support.

So, as you guys may or may not have heard, TC is now down to only 8 members, including Bonkers and Weedlion. Cos guess what? Adam, Ty and James (BlueMonkey) all left. On the same day. I was actually kinda expecting it though, I knew the team was never going to last, especially after all of the drama that happened with Seto. I actually think the reason that Adam and Ty have left TC is because of Seto. I don't know anything, this is just what I suspect. As of a few days ago, Adam and Ty were the only two TC members on good terms with Seto as far as I know. Adam put out that apology tweet a while ago, and they started making videos together again, which made my day. Really, it's great to see those guys as friends again after all that's happened. But it is slightly strange that the only members who are friends with Seto suddenly quit, don't you think?

Now, some of you guys are probably going to hate me for this, but I do think it is partially about the money as well. As far as I can see, each of them already has a huge salary just from their solo channel, but I have no doubt that they're trying to get more and more. In Sky's most recent tweet, he said 'You become blind to who you once were when you let success become your only vision'. I may be wrong, but didn't Seto say something similar in his tweet after he left TC that happened to be directed mainly towards Adam? Just something for you guys to think about.

So now, Jerome, Mitch and Jason are basically the leaders of TC. Also, yes, I know Ryan has joined TC. I'm gonna remain neutral on this one, I don't support it or hate it. I won't hold anything against them, I still love those guys, but I can't say it's odd after all the drama that's been going on lately.

On a happier note, I totally support the former TC members, I do believe it will become a new chapter in their stories, and a great one at that. Sadly, this completely screw up the plot idea I had for the sequel, but oh well, I have a brain, I've gotta use it. Maybe I'll just pretend none of this ever happened while I'm writing. Also congrats to Sky on 9 mil, great job dude! Welp, that's me done, better move onto the reviews. Have a great morning/afternoon/night/whatever-time-it is-right-now you guys, I'll see you all later!

(P.S. Who else is started to get freaked out by Jerome and Ryan wearing the same shirt all the time? Please tell me I'm not the only one...)
