Wow! I looked at this chapter and it's VERY long. And I'm putting my Notes at the beginning because it would break the suspense at the end.
Message to minerspalace: I tried searching your skin link, but it led me to this skin care site, so you might need to either get another link or just tell me yourself. Otherwise I won't be able to get a clear image of Miner.
Message to the rest of my readers: Thank you for reading this! And this chapter took me 2 hours, minus the delay of no internet and the fact my parents don't want me on the computer so long.

Brooke's POV: What's taking so long?! Ok, I've got to admit it's only been about 10 minutes.
"So, Brooke" I turn to my left and spot Edwin right up at my face. "What's going on?"
I jump back, startled, but eventually get up, laughing.
"Y'know. I'm impatient, I'm getting bored"
"Yeah, they should be here now" Steve pops up right behind us, making me jump the second time today.
And as if on cue, DK, Alex, and two newcomers leave the mine on the horizon.
"Hey, guys! I came across two of my friends in the cave. Crystal Icy Waters and Piper. Icy, Piper, meet my friends. Edwin, Brooke, and you know Steve" DK does a quick intro. "Girls, guys. Guys, girls. You know"
I smirk, and slap DK on the back like I always do. "Yup. Does Alex get it or do we need to hit her?"
I notice Piper just keeps staring at me. I ignore her, but a nasty nagging feeling is tugging at me, in my head, a voice (Is it Anger from Inside Out?! OMN [Oh my Notch]).
You know her.
I jump. I've heard that before. It's him.
Go somewhere private. Then we talk.
"I'll be right back, bathroom break" I say, and quickly rush off before anyone can say anything.
It takes a minute, but I find a nice open but well hidden spot in the forest a few chunks away from Steve's home. And I wait for the next message.
I sense a shift behind me, and I smirk. Here we go, the Holobrine's back.
"Hello, sir" I speak, and the hologram grins and steps into my sight.
He has a diamond blood-coated sword in his hand, and he twists it around.
"So, I'm here to brief you" Herobrine announces.
I laugh. "Sounds easy enough"
"Oh it is" I get as my reply. "Let's start with a bunch flashbacks, no?"
He snaps his fingers, and the blocks around me shift.
'Cool' I think to myself.
The pixels on the grass move, moving around strangely, until I see perfect pixel art on the ground below me.
"Awesome!" I say.
"Yes it is" The brine grins, but then points at the image. "Like I said before, you know who these people are"
I do a double take on the image. Its all my friends.
"All of your friends have connections to the Brine nation. Let's start with the ones you already know"
Brine says, then the pixels shift once again, every statement making it change. Just like a mini Chiba animation.
"Edwin C. Dude. Wizard. Casting spells and things. Quite a looker for the cat-girls out there. But he knows me. He fears me, to, which is a good thing"
I smirk as the dirt-TV displays Edwin, running away from Herobrine.
"Next, Steve. Everyone knows this guy. The default. The original. And The noob who teamed up with my brother Notch to put me in my very prison a year ago, unallowed to leave"
My smirk falls as Notch and Steve shove Herobrine into a portal and seal it. They shake hands and go to their own businesses.
"We get down to the top 3 who have strong stories to do with me"
Once more the pixels scatter. It's Piper, the kid DK introduced me to. I put my hand up to my chin. In a 'hmmm, I'm thinking' position.
"Now her, she got raised up by some villagers, you know? Born without a clue, like everyone else. She was literally a darling as they said. However, what she doesn't know is that, after she left the village to go her own way, I attacked her hometown. Both her parents died. And I didn't even feel a bit guilty. She doesn't even know it".
It displays two villagers, face down on the ground. And yes, even I don't feel that sad feeling.
"Top two. Daoink Tron and Crystal Icy Waters. Who will it be? Ah, there we go, the Ender hybrid. Now would I love to show you her story. It's incredible. (Do you think I'm gonna share her story?)"
Dirt-TV shows DK, kicking the code out of a creeper army.
"She's a warrior. Really. I'd love to know her life so I can plan my next move. However, for some reason someone or something had wiped everyone's memories of her past. Even mine. So I can't really show you her younger years or tamper with her. I've heard even she doesn't know" (BOOM! IM NOT SHARING YET!)
"So let's get down to the one and only Icy. She's had a rough life. But she had met Youtubers and tried to stop me multiple times. But the main reason she's on the top of your friend knowing thing list whatever, is because of this one reason"
The pixels on the screen shift one last time, then disappear completely.
"She's my daughter"
I stand there, shocked, but I get over it.
"Now, I must leave. But find a way to get Alex attached to you. Finish that and more secrets can be revealed. Goodbye, Brooke"
The hologram vanishes, and I'm standing there, looking out into an open space. Giving me a moment to think.
The hissing is so sudden, I don't even notice it. I turn to find a creeper at my face. (Does the rhyme count, because space and face rhyme)
I yelp, but stab the creeper. It plops to the ground, disintegrates in pixels, and leaves its gunpowder on the ground.
"Everyone's gonna be wondering why it takes me so long to do a 'bathroom break', I'd better head back" I say to myself.
I gather my bearings and start off. However, an obsidian wall appears in front of me, and I nearly clash into it.
'What the Derp?' I think, managing to use my hands and feet to brake myself.
If I had stopped only a pixel late, my face would have imprinted in the hard rock. I run around it and continue.
And then someone materialises in front of me, and we nearly collide.
"What the Nether do you do THAT for, sir?" I ask, annoyed. I add a dash of sarcasm.
I get a closer look at this strange man. He's one of those quite handsome Asian guys. The man brushes his black hair away from his vision, then he looks at me and I can see his eyes glowing purple, reminding me of DK. He's got an average build, so if we did bump each other, he'd just stumble a bit. Any lighter and he'd fall over, and heavier and he'd be like a wall.
He also has a black hoodie, jeans and sneakers. By the looks of it he looks around the age between 14-17. This guy stuffs what looks like a wand, similar to Edwin's, into his pocket, and extends his hand.
"Sorry about that. Sometimes I just can't control myself, I just love using my magic skills. I'm Allen, you can call me TechnoWizard, but I prefer Allen"
I hesitate, before shaking his hand. "Brooke" Is all I say. "And you used that magic wand of yours to nearly make my nose bleed.
Suddenly, I hear yet another creeper. Before I can grab my sword, or Allen can grab his wand, it starts to breakdance. Allen and I just stare at it, unsure if it's a trap or something's going to happen or what. Then it gets up and skips away, singing some song about Pink Fluffy Unicorns dancing on rainbows.
"Hello! My name is Joe! Ok, that's not really my name, but who cares?" Another voice rings from the shade of a tree.
"I care. And I bet this young lady over here does, to" Allen shoots.
"Ha! What are you, her boyfriend?" The voice deflects Allen's insult and counters.
I lightly punch Allen. He winces and rubs his arm as I speak up. "Well, are you gonna come out or do we have to drag you into daylight? Or are you a zombie?"
"I spend nearly half my life under ground, I don't LIKE the light that much"
That's how he wants to play things? Fine. Time to launch the weapon.
"But can you survive in it?"
There we go. The missile of words slams into the figure, and with that the man steps out, grumbling.
I can see he wears a creeper hoodie, however before I can see his face he pulls the hoodie up so I can't see it.
"Do you have to hide your face?" I ask.
"Well, I've been in the shade for about 3 months, noob. You think I can cope in one second?"
Allen talks before things get ugly. "So, uh, I guess you controlled the creeper, right?"
"Yeah. I'm Miner. And I know creepers well. In fact, I'm pretty much the lord of the creepers"
"Well, I'm Brooke, and this is Allen" I say, but then collect my bearings and begin to run. "My friends are gonna get all suspicious if I'm late back. I told them I'd be on a bathroom break, and bathroom breaks don't take this long. If you need to come, come"
The boys are stunned for a second, but then they start running, right at my heels.
WWWWWWWWBIGFATTIMESKIPWWWWWWW
Finally after a while of running, we reach Steve's place. DK notices, nudges everyone and points. I stop right in front of the crew, but clearly Miner is still adjusting to the sun and Allen is probably used to teleporting, so both are panting.
"Hey, Brooke, didn't you know that there's a bathroom in Steve's home?" DK laughs, but punches me on the shoulder, which slightly irritates me because that's MY thing. "So, who are these two lads that you've attracted because of your skills?"
"Oh. These guys just found me"
"Hopefully they didn't see you pee in the bushes"
I smirk. "Seriously? No, you noob. The guy with his face covered with his creeper hoodie is Miner, and the handsome asian is Allen. Allen's a wizard like Edwin and Miner claims to be the Creeper Lord"
"But I am!" Miner insists, and I smile at him. Obviously they caught their breaths.
DK turns to Allen. Allen waves and DK salutes. Then DK turns to Miner. Miner, looking up, notices DK and starts breathing harder.
"What?" DK asks.
"Nothing. Just the fact that my brother is the freaking Enderman Lord and he's evil"
This time I laugh.
"I'm serious!" Miner says, only to be returned with more grins.
Edwin pokes Miner with his wand.
"Says the guy who can't reveal his face" Ediwn makes a quick remark.
Miner quickly lashes out at Edwin, knocking him to the ground. Miner smiles and draws out a small green cube with a creeper face on it and throws it; the mine lands next to Edwin and he jumps the opposite direction to avoid the blast.
"Make things worse and I'll aim for your face!" Miner smirks, only to have a yellow blast knock him back.
The same hits Edwin.
"Mr. Cat, this is MY problem, not yours" Allen smiles, wand out.
But that's when a firework is launched at his face, explodes, and the particles linger making it hard to see. Edwin.
And now it's an all-out brawl, wizard against wizard against creeper lord. DK and I stare at each other, and laugh hard our sides nearly burst. Men these days.
Then I notice Piper and Icy. Both are in shock. But then Piper is grabbing Icy's hand and dragging her in the mob.
"Are you gonna miss out having some fun or what?" Piper asks Icy.
"Oh, please don't get starte-" Icy starts, but eventually the hunger for fun eats at her, and she punches Miner.
The door of the house opens and Alex and Steve step out. Alex is eating a pumpkin pie. Steve looks at the crazy mythical brawl and all he can do is stare at me.
"What the Nether is going on? And who's the guy in the creeper hoodie? Is it just me, or do I see TWO wizards?"
"You'll find out" I smirk.
DK's special bow pops into her hand, and she draws it. "It's been nice, Brooke, but NOTHING can stop me from entering the fight!"
And with that she jumps into battle, and Alex is right behind her. I stare at Steve.
"Are you going to join in?" I ask.
"Well, someone's gotta protect Alex, right? Because, you know..." Steve replies. "You?"
"No thanks, I'm good"
Steve braces himself, then yells a battle cry and charges. And I'm left alone just to stare at the people I know, having a great time fighting the next Battle Royale. I put my hands behind my back, and stare at my friends punch, kick, slash, shoot, and blast as the sun starts to set to my left. It would be a nice happy moment you see in the movies, with nice peaceful classic music in the background. But then something whispers to me, in my head.
'Force over Friends'
A message. No, a warning, clicks. The words echo throughout my body. I feel it in my gut, my heart. A warning, that the further I get from them, the better.
'Force over friends'
And my small smile turns into a grimace. Unnoticed, I turn away from my friends, and walk away as my eyes flicker white, lighting up the ground every so often, like a digital torch with it's batteries about to die.
And I quietly repeat the mighty Herobrine's words.
"Force over Friends"
