"Careful… careful… Oof! Shit," Sjin muttered as the foursome dropped down one by one.

"Oh my gosh!" Kim gasped. "There's so much TNT!"

Sjin and the other two halfheartedly agreed. Strawfingers had placed down bundles the dynamite sticks into every nook and cranny of the enormous cavern that he dug out. It would take ages to clear everything out by himself. Sjin immediately thanked Notch that he had three other friends to help him with the cleanup. Well, two since Duncan had to work on the nukes.

"Where are the nukes?" he asked.

"There they are! There, in the middle. Holy shit that's a LOT of nukes…" Duncan gulped as he walked towards the deadly explosives. "I'll get to work on making a forcefield around these, and you guys clear out all the TNT."

"Fair enough," Rythian said as the three worked to clear the dynamite. "But why did you want me, Sjin?"

"Do you remember Strawfingers before he turned real and evil?"

"Yeah, you showed him to me, didn't you?"

"Exactly. I made him out of two Thaumium blocks. And a couple of levers, but that doesn't really matter."

Rythian immediately understood. "Oh… And once you place those blocks down…"

"They can't be destroyed," Sjin finished him. "At least, I don't think they can."

"So…"

"So if Strawfingers decides to turn into a blocky scarecrow again, we can't kill him. But is there a way to destroy the blocks?"

"Hm… I'm not sure. I think the best way for us to kill him is to probably knock him out, put him in the forcefield with the nukes and detonate them."

"That sounds like a pretty good plan," Sjin reasoned. "I found a little diary of his, and he was blown up by a creeper and went away to nurse his wounds. That means that he can be harmed when he's alive, but not when he's in block mode. But we don't even know where he is. He could be anywhere for all we know."

"I guess, but he most likely will be around the area. I can't think of any reason for him to go anywhere else."

"Yeah, I guess…" Sjin sighed. Then he suddenly hit upon an idea. "Hey! Can your magic destroy Thaumium blocks?"

Rythian shook his head. "It could, I think, but my magic is very weak at the moment. I used up most of my magic to heal Zoey and keep her alive."

"Oh." Sjin was disappointed, but he couldn't blame Rythian for it. "I guess we can go with the other plan. I just hope it will work…"

"Guys! I found a chest under all the TNT!" Kim called to them. "There's a diary in here too."

"Come over here to me, so I can hear what's written too," Duncan called back. Kim tucked the small diary under her arm and weaved her way around the remaining bundles of TNT to where Duncan's machines were set up. Sjin and Rythian looked at each other, shrugged and met Kim there as well.

"Who is it by?" Duncan wondered out loud.

"Hm…" Kim flipped through the diary until she came to the last entry. "It's by Strawfingers."

"Well, no big surprise. He was the only one who knew of this place." Rythian said.

"What does it say?" Sjin asked curiously.

Kim read a few entries to herself. "This is really interesting… You guys should hear this."

Sjin and the other two crowded around Kim as she started reading Strawfinger's diary, starting from the first entry.

"My name is Strawfingers. I am a scarecrow, and this is my sad, sorry life story."

"I was a happy man, back in the Old World. I took care of my own farm, minded my own business, and even raised a family. I was happy. There were others who lived near me, two scientists, a mage, a mushroom girl, and some other people. I never paid any attention to them, and they didn't mind me either. It was like an unspoken peace treaty."

"I remember them all very distinctly. The mage was odd, but he was powerful. I don't remember his name, but he was a peaceful man, even if his wear was a bit eccentric. The two scientists kept getting into trouble, which was why I remember them very well. One was a brown haired mustached astronaut, and another was a stereotypical scientist, with lab goggles and a lab coat."

"Why do I remember them all very well? There's a very, very good reason to all of that."

"I was minding my own business, taking care of my farm like always, when suddenly everything was on fire. Those two stupid scientists, they were burning up everything, everything, and there was nothing I could do about it. They were flying and burning everything with their stupid science. They even had the nerve to kill everyone who never did anything bad to them. They killed the mage and burned down his tower. They killed the mushroom girl and set all of her mushrooms ablaze. The whole situation spelled destruction and disaster."

"My situation was no different. The idiot mustached scientist burned down my farm and killed, no, blew up my wife and kids. Then he laughed insanely and shot a horde of arrows at me as well. I still remember his sick, grinning face as he rained hell upon me. I was shot down in a matter of seconds."

"I respawned, of course. I always do. But my wife and kids, they did not. They were hurt too badly and were destined to roam forever in the Void. I returned, of course, to my farm, careful to not attract the attention of the two scientists, who were nowhere to be found. Everything was still burning. All my hard work, my trees that I worked day and night to breed, they were burned and shot down in a matter of minutes."

"It was at that time when something unforgiveable occurred. Two explosions. Two nuclear blasts, it destroyed me instantly. My last seconds were used to watch my farm, my hard work, explode into smithereens. And it was the two scientists' fault."

"I was already heartbroken with the loss of my beautiful wife and kids. The destruction of my farm was too much though. Burning it down was one thing, wiping it off the face of Tekkitopia was another."

"I roamed the depths of the Void for what seemed a millennium, looking for my shattered family. I never found them. I gave up a long time ago."

"It was then when my hate for humans started rising up, even though I was one of them. I saw that they were flawed, stupid creatures, and all of them needed to die before they destroy everything in the land."

"I stayed in the Void, nurturing my hate and revenge, until that one day. The day I waited for so long."

"A wizard, that's what he said he was. I knew better, I've seen necromancers before, and I can tell that's what he was. He was an evil necromancer who claimed that he summoned my hateful spirit from the pits of the Void and brought me back to life."

"I was grateful to live again, but resurrection had prices to pay. I was still a spirit until someone placed something what the 'wizard' called Thaumium blocks in the form of a scarecrow. He said that he chained my spirit to that particular shape, and my destructive habits were useful to him."

"I was suspicious of the necromancer at first, but the more destructive missions we went on, the more I grew to love destruction and the screaming of innocents. I was a scarecrow now, but it didn't matter. What mattered was that I was in the position of power, that position to crush puny, stupid humans under my foot without feeling any sense of remorse."

"Soon news of my destruction spread far and wide in Tekkitopia. The locals created a name for me. Strawfingers. I liked it. I love now people would tremble at the sound of my name, how they feared their family would be killed and their farm exploded. It was addicting."

"I killed more people than I could count. I don't know how much, but the necromancer and I had everyone under my little pinky. It was a power I relished in."

"One day, something happened. Again."

"A man, who I was pretending to work for, killed the necromancer. So of course, I killed his family and burned down his house when he went mining as an act of revenge. He turned me back into Thaumium blocks and tried to break me, so he could throw me into lava."

"Of course, it didn't work. I laughed at his impudence, his stupidity, as he tried to blow up the blocks or break them up. He was growing more and more frustrated; I could feel it."

"He gave up soon after. He buried me in hope that no one would find me again. That didn't hold me for long though. As the Thaumium blocks ran out of magic, my spirit was released again. For a long time I roamed the land, hoping to gain some information about the ones who killed me in the first place."

"I gained a lot of information from a certain, large island called the Yog's Knot. The astronaut and the scientist lived there, as well as the mage, the mushroom girl, and others who I saw were dear to the two scientists."

"I hatched a plan to kill all of them for my revenge. It was the biggest project I have got myself into. Blowing up a whole city or kingdom would be a lot less difficult than this, for the group, the 'Yogscast', they called themselves, included a powerful demigod, a forest spirit, a spaceman, and a dwarf. They were extremely powerful, but thank goodness that none of them were very smart."

"My opportunity came when the mustached astronaut isolated himself from the rest to become a farmer, like I was before. I waited and watched, patiently, as the bumbling fool started his farm."

"My time had come. He so foolishly gathered Thaumium blocks and attempted to make a scarecrow out of them. Immediately, my spirit was whisked into the blocks. A flash of lighting, and I was myself again. It was very nice to move around, to have the power to destroy again."

"I immediately started to gather up the materials to hatch my wonderful plan. I was always watching the farmer and heard him tell of something called a 'Sjindig,' something like a party that he will host for all of his friends. It was too perfect. I'll blow them all up in front of his sorry face. Then I'll kill him myself."

"I captured one of his friends and held her hostage in my Nether tower. Then I stole his textures and made him follow me to the Nether. I disappeared as a spirit and entered her body. I brainwashed her to how I wanted her and left her body. She has been spying for me ever since."

"I will have my revenge. I have waited long enough. I will see him kneeling on the ground, begging for mercy. But I won't give him any… because he never gave me any before. He will die, and I will be the executor."

Kim closed the book slowly. She was speechless. Sjin and the others also held their breaths for several moments, each one trying to comprehend what was just read to them.

"I see you have found out my little secret," a gnarly voice spoke behind them.

Sjin and the others whirled around to face the evil entity that sneaked up behind them.

Strawfingers.
