Rebirth of a Siren
Chapter 38: Fight with The Illusioner - The Watcher
The Watcher was pleased at his handy work in creating a false vault and attracting the attention of Tannis and Mr. Torgue. However due to his attention setting this up, he missed Geary, the servant of The Illusioner, lead Prospector Zeke to Mount Molehill in the Tundra Express. Here Prospector Zeke and his miners dug up a giant golden gear known as The One Gear. The One Gear was The Illusioner's source of power and life. The Illusioner was an ancient vile evil Eridian who was more powerful than The Watcher was. The One Gear is what gives him his powers. It had been a gift by a Seraph known as The Handsome Sorcerer who seemed to bore an uncanny resemblance to Handsome Jack. The Handsome Sorcerer had also created The Illusioner's base of main operations, Dragon's Keep, and its surrounding area with his magic. He then created The Prismarine Legions to aid him and The Illusioner's plan in taking over the Eridian race. Aided by The Handsome Sorcerer's apprentice, The Evoker, they did manage to cause some trouble. The only reason that the three of them did not win was the fact that The Evoker accidently summoned the portal leading to The Destroyer with the Vault Key when trying to summon the portal that led to The Handsome Dragon and its family, The Ancient Dragons of Destruction. The Destroyer devastated the entire area around Dragon's Keep. He had thought that The Evoker, The Illusioner and The Handsome Sorcerer were destroyed at this time. Now investigating Prospector Zeke and Geary, The Watcher found out that The Evoker alongside Geary had fled with Illusioner's One Gear. She had buried it and fled back to her home dimension that some people called The Blocky World. She had dug up the gear again after all this time for seemly no reason, but The Watcher was sure something made her bring him back now. The Watcher went The Empyrean Sentinel for help. However, it was too late as The Empyrean Sentinel had been killed. Its realm had been invaded by Golden Gears. He was forced to flee from this realm by Sentinels that been corrupted into the blocky creatures known as The Vex by the Golden Gears. With this he decided to confront The Illusioner head on. He tracked him down to a Bloodshot Bandit camp known as Fishguts Outpost. The Evoker was there alongside The Pumpkin Kingpin and the son of his old enemy Chilblainer named Tinder Snowflake. They were taking Steele and the others. The Illusioner said with confidence as he saw him, "Watcher."
"Illusioner. Evoker. I been waiting for you two to show your faces." The Watcher stated hiding his anger of them.
The Illusioner said "I assure you that this time I am more powerful than ever. No one will stop me." He transformed into Herobrine. Herobrine threw some Golden Gears at The Watcher. The Watcher dodged them. These Golden Gears however turned into Phantoms, some sort of blocky flying undead creatures. Herobrine grinned and said, "See I told you that I am more powerful than ever." The Phantoms weren't that hard to deal with. However, it distracted The Watcher enough for his minions to take everyone. Herobrine grew to giant size and in the process destroy Fishguts Outpost
"You will not win Illusioner" The Watcher said determined. He mustered his power together and threw an energy blast at The Illusioner / Herobrine. It hit him, but it did nothing. He laughed, and a long battle raged on as The Wacther managed to barely survive Herobrine's attacks. Jacques O'Lantern soon returned however. Unexpectedly he aided The Watcher by banishing The Illusioner / Herobrine back to The Blocky World using all his power. "Why?" The Watcher said baffled at his change in loyalty to his master. Before Jacques O'Lantern managed to say anything, he broke into Golden Gears and chunks of Eridium as his power left him. The Watcher still confused try tracking Steele, but she had vanished so he tired tracking Maya. He tracked her down just in time to save her from an insane bandit. The Watcher said "You need to come with me to The Blocky World" as he draw on Maya's siren powers to open a portal leaving to a blocky snowland. "To save the world from The Evoker's monstrous Wither Storm."
"I am not going without Tina and until you tell me who you are? And why you are here?" Maya stated trying to be hiding her fear.
"Your friend is unharmed" He said as a dazed looking Tina appeared. A curious girl if he should say so to be one of two to survive the inhuman slag experiments conducted by Hyperion. He then realized he did not introduce himself. So, he said, "I am The Watcher. I am the guardian of Elpis and Pandora. My enemy, The Evoker and her master will unleash the creature known as The Wither Storm originating from the dimension known as The Blocky World. We must help the others, or The Wither Storm will devour the whole of creation." The Wither Storm was an abomination of nature designed by The Handsome Sorcerer. He had created Withers, and this was one jacked up on pure chunks of Eridium by The Command Block. Only something as powerful as The Ender Dragon or The Destroyer could hope in defeating it. He only said "An artificial creature created by The Evoker based on the legends of The Destroyer" when asked what it was as he did not want to tell them. They travelled to a blocky snowy landscape after he explained why The Destroyer was easy to kill and warned them of the ancient Eridian AI known as PAMA. Entering they encountered his enemy Chilblainer. He had increased in size since the last time they encountered. He warned Tina and Maya, "Watch out, Its Chilblainer. The original snowman."
Chilblainer said slow but loud, "Watcher." He lumbered forward. They fought and The Wacther could tell he had increased in strength since last time since despite Chilblainer managing to hold his own against The Watcher's speed. "I will destroy you."
"You failed every time you tired too" The Watcher stated referencing their other fights that he had dominated.
"This time I will not fail" Chilblainer said before he slammed The Watcher into the ground. Chilblainer laughed as he tried to crush The Watcher with his hands. He nearly succeeded before the fire from Maya's Hellfire caused Chilblainer to hiss in pain. Allowing The Watcher to escape his grasp. The fire started to melt Chilblainer. As Chunks of him fell off, He said "I will return Watcher." He retreated by melting back into the snow. Somehow taking his hat with him. Chilblainer, Frost Biter and Mister Snowflake will have to be dealt with once The Illusioner and The Evoker are defeated. The Wacther led them to The Stronghold, a giant castle containing PAMA and an entrance to The End.
