Chapter 13 – Ender Dragon

The Eye of Ender hit the ground, straight from Tom's hands.

"It's here," he said. I pulled out my pickaxe and started to dig. Recently, I had used my iron to make new armor, and a spare sword, since my first one had broken and I was using my second one.

I kept on digging until I heard the silverfish. I dug down, and landed in the portal room. The silverfish swarmed me, but Tom had called three reinforcement creepers for the purpose. They attacked the silverfish, and they killed them all. They then guarded us as we filled in the missing Eye of Ender holes.

The portal lit, and Tom and I jumped into the black abyss. We appeared on an obsidian platform, not too far from the main island. I placed a torch down to mark it, and then stacked my way to the mainland.

"Now, Steve, you have to defeat the Ender Dragon, which is one of the hardest mobs to kill. So, I've decided to call in the spiders and the skeletons, and see what they could do," I smiled as Tom explained. This was going to be awesome. Tom called the mobs in, and they soon came flooding in on the island.

"Spiders, you need to climb those pillars and destroy what's on top. It seems to be helping the dragon," I ordered. "Skeletons, you're important. Shoot that Dragon until he dies. As for me, I'd like to borrow a bow."

A skeleton passed me a bow with Power III on it and some arrows. I loaded my bow and yelled, "FIGHT!"

The skeletons divided into groups, and conquered the island, while the spiders, once they were done with the pillars, held off the endermen. I shot lightning fast, for I had watched how the Skeleton King had done it, and was hitting every time.

But, the Ender Dragon flew steady, and the arrows did little to nothing. The Dragon roared and swooped down, making two groups of skeletons shoot into space, never to return. We were starting to lose more spiders, also. The endermen were too strong.

"Tom!" I screamed. "We need the creepers!" He nodded, and soon they arrived. They ran and blew up the endermen, one by one. They had the spiders help them climb the pillars, and then they jumped onto the Dragon's back, and then blew up. The creepers were bringing in a win. I shot one last arrow, and then the Ender Dragon died. It landed on the ground with a thud, and then dissolved into piles of experience. I ran through it, picking it all up. The endermen agreed to our plan, and said that they could get the Wither Boss into a jungle.

We left The End, and appeared in the jungle outside the stronghold. The endermen teleported to who knows where, and when they came back, I saw the Wither Boss, bigger than in my dream.

"Steve," it said in its smooth voice. "Time to die."
