I am soooooo sorry I haven't written a new chapter in a while! School sucks but with my time I have thought through this chapter, ok then… here we go.

Chapter 12

Jet's POV:

Jet pushed through the leaves behind Sam, on his back was his pack with all his armor, weapons, and rations, he also carried Thalia's pack because she was getting worn down. They had been trudging for days, for safety reasons they had to split into groups to avoid detection so it was only the three of them plus a red haired hunter and two guard twins about 20 years old in front of them. They were nearing the camp about 10 miles away from the castle so they didn't go to battle tired. He was sweating pretty hard, it was very humid.

Sam looked back at Jet "how are you holding up?"

"Fine" said Jet, trying not to pant "you?"

"Great" he said "all the heat makes me feel refreshed" he looked further back "how about you Thalia?"

She trudged up behind Jet sweating and panting "not so good" she took a drink from her water glass and poured the rest on her face "how you two keep going I will never know"

"Well you don't have to worry anymore because here we are"

The camp was nothing special, just some wool tents around a fire, but to the tired rebels it was heaven. Thalia took her things from Jet and went to lie down in her tent while Sam went to his, Jet sat on his bed and sharpened his sword before he went to sleep.

Sam's POV:

The next day Sam looked over the castle from the top of a tree; it was made of dark red bricks and was made up of a large wall surrounding the real castle, guard stations were all around the walls and huge machines designed to lob buckets of lava over the moat (also lava), the drawbridge was tightly sealed and it seemed that there was no other way in, but Sam knew that Steve had a plan and that it would all work out.

As the sun set the rebels marched to the castle and his among the trees while Jet and his group of the bravest soldiers entered the caves that would lead them under the evil.

Jet's POV:

The caves were long and twisting but by following a map given by the informers the small party finally found the basement of the castle, when they went inside Jet signaled his men to search the floor and they quickly and quietly ran about. When they had found no one they slowly went up the stairs and made their way to the top of the wall where the switch was, but as soon as they got there a loud shout came from behind them.

"Hey! Intruder! Intruder alert!" it was a guard dressed in gold armor with his bow raised

Jet yelled for the men to move as one of the soldiers pulled his own bow and shot him in the thigh, not enough to kill him but just wound him. They were on the opposite wall of the switch and all the guards on duty had heard the alert and were charging their position, Jet pulled out his sword and clenched his fist to extend his claws and charged, he met with the men and threw most of them off the wall, the rest ran for their lives, Steve was right, these were only scared men afraid of Herobrine, once they had made their way to the gate lever they pulled it to allow the rebels in.

"Good job Jet!" said Sam when he and Thalia found him "that was fast!"

"It was like Steve said" Jet replied with a shrug

The rebels marched down into the portal room where the rectangle of obsidian stood; the bravest of men looked in fear at what they saw. Steve was the first to enter and soon everyone was in, inside was a world they had not expected, it looked like a cave reaching to the skies, but it was all made of blood red stone named netherrack, floating formations glowed like the sun. Far away was a bridge made of deep red bricks, the bridge stretched miles and miles over a sea of lava into a cliff of netherrack. At the end of the bridge there was another castle even larger than the one in the overworld, but the worst was the legions of zombie pigmen standing on the bridge, swords drawn. Herobrine himself stood on a pillar of nether bricks, he looked exactly like Steve, but his eyes… they were white and soulless, and he announced with a voice that sounded like the walls would have collapsed.

"YOU ARE TOO LATE!" he said "I HAVE ENOUGH OBSIDIAN TO FIT THE NETHER DRAGON THROUGH! AND I HAVE THE EGG!" he gestured to a pedestal in the middle of the bridge where the egg stood; it looked like it was made of netherrack and was specked with glowstone dust.

"Now all I have to do" he said in a deep but not as loud voice (everyone could still hear him) said "is touch it and your entire army will be dust at my –AAAAAAAAAUGH!"

And at that an arrow sprouted from his chest, golden shafted with a diamond tip and iron feathers, Thalia had hit the semi-god from miles away causing him to fall from his pillar, he raised his voice to full capacity and said "ATTACK!" and the beasts swarmed while Herobrine slowly inched towards the egg, it was only a few yards away but the diamond in the arrow drained his healing powers and kept him at a slow crawl.

Steve turned to the trio as the army surged forward to meet the enemy "you don't have much time! Take these!" he tossed them an ender pearl each and said "stop him before he reaches it! CHAAAAAARGE!" and with that he sprinted into battle.

Sam, Jet and Thalia nodded to each other and threw them as hard as they could. Thalia landed just on the other side of the force of zombie pigmen, Jet landed about 20 yards from Herobrine while Sam landed right in front of the man who was about 10 feet from the egg by now.

Herobrine looked up and saw Sam before he could react and grabbed his ankle and snapped it like a twig.

Sam's POV:

Sam cried out in agony and fell to the floor. Herobrine sped up his crawl and was getting closer to the egg, and in that moment time slowed down, Sam saw Herobrine was now right next to him, several more arrows had entered his back and as he looked to his feet he saw Jet rushing towards them, Sam held his hand to tell Jet to stop and he did, then a look of realization came over his face and he began running even faster, that was when Sam put his hands to the floor of the bridge and said a single spell

"Creeper fier"

And Sam, Herobrine, and the egg were suddenly engulfed in a huge explosion that made the whole army of rebels and pigmen alike stop and see the massive hole in the bridge where the pedestal used to be, Herobrine dangling off the edge with all his might slowly returning, and the black haired young man in a red cape falling to his doom.

And that is the end of chapter 12! Sorry if many of you just cried your hearts out but hey, I'll see you next chapter!
