Here is the final chapter of The Koopalings in Minecraft!

Enjoy! :D
The army of humans and zombie pigmen drew closer. "What can we do?" a soldier asked.
"We have TNT, Cobblestone, and Redstone. We can make TNT cannons!" Iggy said.
"You guys make the TNT cannons, we'll fire at the army," Lemmy said. Iggy and Larry nodded.
Lemmy, Morton, Warlor, and the soldiers started firing arrows at the army while Iggy and Larry made the TNT cannon. "Done! Let's fire this thing!" Larry said. Iggy pressed the button and launched the TNT, taking out about 10 Zombie Pigmen.
"Reload it and fire again! Replace a few Redstone Repeaters with Redstone so it doesn't fire too far, while I make another cannon!" Larry said. Iggy did that and launched more TNT, taking out another good chunk of the army.
Larry quickly constructed another cannon, firing it and reloading it. By the time the army reached the Guard Tower, hundreds had been taken out.
Humans climbed up the ladder the Koopalings had placed to get to the top. Lemmy stood at the top of the ladder, knocking any invaders off. The Zombie Pigmen charged in the front door and up the stairs. Warlor constructed an Obsidian barrier so the Zombie Pigmen couldn't get past, then Iggy dropped TNT on them, killing all the Zombie Pigmen.
Lemmy knocked the last of the humans off of the ladder. "Phew! That was easier than I thought it would be."
"It's mostly thanks to our TNT cannons," Larry said.
"Anyway, now we can invade the four castles. Let's go!" Warlor said. They climbed down the ladder, all except for Larry.
"Larry? Come on!" Morton said.
Larry exited the Guard Tower through the normal way. "Ready to see fireworks?" he asked. Without waiting for an answer, he placed TNT and lit it. "Stand back!"
The Koopalings and co. stood back and the TNT exploded, making more TNT explode, making more TNT explode, and on and on. It was a chain reaction resulting in only the Bedrock part of the tower still standing, and a crater where the rest of the Guard Tower was. A gigantic crater.
"Alright! If we fail, this will at least delay Nethor's armies a few days rebuilding this," Warlor said.
"I'm going to do the same to the castles we conquer, so it'll delay Nethor by weeks!" Larry said.
The Koopalings and co. crossed the drawbridge to the First Castle. "We can't afford any breaks; we need to attack now and keep Nethor's armies from resting. Construct TNT cannons!" Warlor said.
In about two minutes, they had built seven TNT cannons. "FIRE!" Lemmy said. They pushed the buttons, and the TNT was launched at the castle, destroying half of it. A few Zombies, Skeletons, and Zombie Pigmen charged out to attack the Koopalings, but they were easily dispatched by more TNT. The Koopalings and co. made the TNT cannons bigger and added more Redstone Repeaters, allowing the TNT to go far enough to annihilate the second part of the castle.
"That…was a lot easier than I thought it would be," Morton said.
"When in doubt, use TNT!" Lemmy said.
"Let's just hope that it's that easy at the next three castles," Larry said.
"Don't bother hoping…it's hopeless," a voice came. Dungzor then materialized in front of the Koopalings!
"Your quest ends here. Minecraftia WILL be replaced with the Nether. You cannot stop fate," Dungzor said.
"We've beaten you a ton of times before, Dungzor! What makes you think we can't beat you again?" Lemmy said.
"This. Arise, my newest creations!" Dungzor said. He threw small, dark pearls on the ground, which exploded in dark dust. When the dust disappeared, there were tall black figures with skinny arms and legs staring at the Koopalings.
"Behold, the Endermen!" Dungzor cackled.
"So, what do they do besides stare at you?" a soldier asked.
"Try looking away," Dungzor grinned.
The soldier looked away. The Enderman teleported to the soldier and killed him nearly instantly.
"WOAH!" Lemmy said. He had seen the "battle" through the corner of his eye.
"Yes, that's right! They have already been unleashed on Minecraftia. Unfortunately, they aren't nearly as strong as they are here; they are five times more powerful here in the Nether than in Minecraftia. But it doesn't matter, because you are now going to be destroyed!"
Iggy had an idea. He got closer and closer to the Enderman staring at him, without looking away. When Iggy was close enough, he hit the Enderman with his Diamond Sword twice, then shot Arrows at the other Endermen, destroying them. "NO!" Dungzor said. The Endermen turned back into the small dark pearls again. Dungzor tried to get them, but the Koopalings and co. grabbed the pearls.
"Grr! It matters not! Your quest ends here!" Dungzor ran towards Lemmy with his Diamond Sword out. The Koopalings and co. shot arrows at Dungzor, hitting him 8 times. Lemmy used Flint and Steel to light the space in front of Dungzor on fire. Dungzor ran right into the fire and was lit on fire. Lemmy hit Dungzor with his Diamond Sword, doing another 5 1/2 hearts of damage. Dungzor got angry and charged at Lemmy once more. Lemmy placed TNT and lit it, blowing Dungzor to bits.
"Dungzor is finally dead. However, nothing's stopping Nethor from merely recreating or resurrecting him. We must get to Nethor's castle as quick as possible!" Warlor said.
"Right!" Larry said. "Let's go!"
The attack on the Second and Third Castles went the same as the attack on the first. They created TNT cannons and destroyed the castles. In the second castle, there was a massive zombie that was easily fought off, and in the third castle, there was a massive skeleton that was destroyed, but another soldier was lost. Eventually, the Koopalings and Warlor reached the fourth castle.
"Well, here we are…Nethor's castle…" Warlor said.
"TNT cannons won't work this time; it's made out of Bedrock," Iggy said.
"Let's go," Lemmy said, drawing his Diamond Sword. The Koopalings and Warlor entered the castle. They went through the hallways and corridors, occasionally dispatching a guard, until they reached a red door.
"Ready?" Warlor asked. The Koopalings nodded. They entered the room and saw Nethor, Issrod, and Aughm.
"Ah, the Koopalings. I have been waiting for you." Nethor said.
Nethor was 13 feet tall. He looked like a regular human, but wielded a gigantic sword made out of Bedrock that looked way too heavy for him to carry, and he was clad in armor made out of Bedrock.
"We've come to destroy you, Nethor. Once and for all!" Warlor said.
"You tried beating me before. What makes you think you can beat me now?" Nethor said.
"I have friends now; I have the Koopalings!" Warlor said.
"They may be part of the Prophecy, but I have no doubt I'll still win," Nethor said.
"You do not want to underestimate them," Aughm said. "They're tougher than they look."
"Did I ask you for your opinion?" Nethor asked. Aughm shook his head. "That's what I thought."
Nethor looked back at the Koopalings. "Perhaps I should replace your dimension with the Nether too…yes, that's what I'll do."
"You won't get the chance," Lemmy said.
"That's right. We're going to stop you before you even have a chance to replace Minecraftia!" Iggy said.
Nethor just laughed. "Attack!"
Issrod and Aughm charged at the Koopalings. A few arrows and hits from a diamond sword later, they were defeated.
"It matters not. They were merely pawns," Nethor said. "I shall destroy you with one of my weakest attacks. Choose. Will you be destroyed by a Star Storm? How about a Nuclear Firebomb? Perhaps a simple Annihilation spell would do."
"We WON'T be destroyed!" Morton said. Morton charged at Nethor with his Diamond Sword and slashed at Nethor, but Nethor teleported. Morton took out his Bow and shot Arrows at Nethor. So did Warlor and the other Koopalings. Nethor waved his hands and a dark blue shield appeared around him, destroying the arrows.
"I've had my fun. It's time for you to die," Nethor said. He charged at Larry and froze time for everyone except himself and Larry. Nethor swung his Bedrock Sword. Larry tried to parry with his Diamond Sword, but the sword of diamonds was cut through by the sword of bedrock like bread is cut through by a knife. Larry gasped, then was levitated up into the air and started choking! Nethor was using his magical powers to choke Larry. Nethor unfroze time and threw Larry into Morton.
What had been a minute to Larry and Nethor had been a millisecond to the other Koopalings and Warlor. Morton was barely expecting Larry to be thrown into him, so Morton and Larry were both knocked out.
"The Koopalings, Defenders of Minecraftia, are in fact nothing. I got myself hyped up, expecting a massive battle that I had to actually try to win. Instead, I was disappointed. The battle has gone on for two minutes, and two of you are knocked out," Nethor said.
"Just how powerful are you anyway?" Lemmy asked.
"I'm so powerful that I could just annihilate you all right now, but I wish to entertain myself," Nethor said.
"You're making the same mistake that we and countless other villains made against the Mario Bros. when we battled them," Lemmy said.
"Except, unlike you and those countless other villains, I actually am unstoppable. Come, Warlor, let us finish the last of the Koopalings," Nethor said.
Lemmy and Iggy gasped. "Warlor…but…how?" Iggy asked.
Warlor went to Nethor's side. "You see, Koopalings, I never was allied with you at all. I've been leading you into a trap all this time. As much as I wish I didn't have to kill Dungzor, Issrod, and Aughm – they were good friends – I had to keep up my cover. There is an ancient prophecy that states seven heroes from another dimension would defeat Nethor. You are those heroes."
"If the prophecy says we would win, and you believe it, why do you challenge it?" Lemmy asked.
"Because, the prophecy says there IS a chance of you failing. And you've fallen right into our trap," Warlor grinned evilly.
"We need to get out of here," Lemmy whispered to Iggy. "Keep them occupied while I build the portal." Iggy nodded.
"I just have a few last questions," Iggy said. Lemmy snuck away to an unoccupied part of the castle.
"Give me one good reason not to destroy you now," Nethor said.
"It's their final requests. Their final requests should be granted," Warlor said. "What do you want to know?"
"How do you know the prophecy's true?" Iggy asked.
"Because the prophecy says that two mortals will willingly join the master's army, and that this confrontation would happen. Everything that's happened to you involving Dungzor, Issrod, Aughm, or events involving Minecraftia's Blade has all been predicted by the prophecy," Warlor said.
"Speaking of Minecraftia's Blade, is everyone there evil?" Iggy asked.
"No," Warlor said.
"How old is the prophecy?" Iggy asked.
"It's-hey, where's your brother?" Warlor asked.
Iggy jumped to grab Morton and Larry, but Nethor teleported them away. Warlor dashed towards Iggy with his sword out. Iggy ran to where Lemmy had snuck off. Nethor fired lightning bolts at Iggy, all but one of them missing by an inch. Iggy's tail was singed by one lightning bolt. "YOWCH!"
Warlor heard a portal. "They're preparing to escape, Master!" Warlor said.
"They won't," Nethor replied.
Iggy ran into the room Lemmy was in, and Lemmy sealed the entrance with Obsidian. "That ought to hold them for a while. Did you get Morton and Larry?" Lemmy asked.
"No, Nethor teleported them away too quickly. Let's get out of here!" Iggy said. Iggy took out his Flint and Steel and lit the frame of the portal on fire, activating it. Lemmy and Iggy jumped inside, their vision becoming distorted.
Nethor shot a lightning blast at the Obsidian, destroying it. He shot another lightning blast at the portal just after the Koopalings teleported away, destroying the portal.
"They got away," Warlor said.
"It matters not. The two of them can't defeat us. The Game Master is holding their siblings captive, too," Nethor said. He went back to the throne room. "All personnel are to report to the Throne Room immediately!" he yelled.
A few minutes later, everyone in the entire army was in the Throne Room. Nethor said, "Reconstruct the Guard Tower and the Three Castles later. I want the amount of Portals we construct every day to be doubled, now that the heroes are basically defeated. Also, begin work on the Superportal."
The soldiers nodded and got to work. "Hahaha…today, Minecraftia. Tomorrow, Plit. Next week, the universe! HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Nethor evilly cackled.
The Koopalings weren't even able to get out of the portal before it exploded and depleted their entire health bar! The Koopalings respawned right at the crater where the portal used to be.
"Woah…" Iggy said.
"What just happened?" Lemmy asked.
"I think the portal was destroyed by Nethor…" Iggy said.
"Did any of our items survive?" Lemmy asked.
"Well, I've still got some Diamond Boots, but they're extremely low on durability," Iggy said.
"All of my armor and tools were destroyed in the blast…" Lemmy said.
"Well, I guess we start fresh…" Iggy walked over to a tree and started punching it. Lemmy went to another tree and did the same. Within a few minutes, they had 40 pieces of wood. They each made Wooden Pickaxes and mined enough Stone to make a Furnace. They smelted their remaining Wood into Charcoal, found a nice mountain to make a base in, and started making their base. They had essentially restarted…
