Chapter 2

Sky sat on the throne of his throne room. He stared at the towering pillars that looked almost like legs to a very big animal. The walls seemed to mock him with their representations of battles and wars. Beside him were two other chairs , but they weren't as great as his giant butter one, and no one sat in them. But as great as his throne room was, he wasn't satisfied with something; something kept bugging him that he was trying to get out of his head.

Sky had a bad feeling about Captain.

Something inside him was continuously saying no ever since he saw him. There was something wrong with Captain, why would this one person survive? Was this fate's cruel ways? Sky didn't know what to do or think anymore. He just sat on his pristine mahogany and butter throne waiting for something to happen.

After a while, the two curved mahogany doors at the end of the throne room swung open suddenly with a loud creaking sound. Sky sat up high on his chair and glared at who had opened the doors. It was a man who Sky remembered as Xephos. Xephos was wearing a plain brown jacket over a striped white and blue shirt. He had a strap going around his shoulder with a pocket on the back. In the pocket lay a mighty sword made from silver. Xephos rushed to the throne and said, "My master, after you sent out my search party, we came back with another survivor."

Sky was taken aback by this. "Another survivor? How could this be?" Sky questioned.

Xephos looked at Sky with a serious look. "You may find this hard to believe but…" Xephos paused as he spoke.

"Believe what?" Sky demanded.

"This man says he comes from the future," Xephos finished. "Almost 3000 years in the future to be exact."

Xephos was right, Sky couldn't believe it. A man from the future? As much as it sounded ridiculous to him, somehow it seemed more correct. He didn't know why though. "Well, bring him in here, I want to see what he has to say for himself."

Xephos bowed his head and rushed out of the double doors. A few minutes later he came back with a man garbed in a strange blue metal suit. Covering his head was some sort of glass helmet. Since the suit covered his entire body, Sky wondered how the strange man decided to get out of the suit.

Sky leaned forward and asked, "Who would you be to 'come from the future'?"

The man's glass part of his helmet slid back into his suit below, revealing his head. "My name is Jason," the man said. "I come from a time when evil has destroyed our world."

"What do you mean?" Sky asked. "What evil are you talking about?"

"Herobrine…" Jason said after a long pause. "And he started his assault around this time."

Sky glared at him with a more serious look. "The Herobrine… you mean from the legends of old?" Sky asked. Jason nodded his head.

"Yeah, and according to the history books from my time, he will wage war upon the living, destroying half the human race," Jason said in a calm voice "The only thing that stopped him was a group of heroes, but they did not stop him entirely."Sky raised his eyebrow.

"Did not stop him entirely…" Sky repeated to himself like a dream that wouldn't go away. "So what exactly are you here for?"

Jason paused for some time before answering. "I have come to stop Captainsparklez," he announced. Sky furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.

"CaptainSparklez, like the one we have in the infirmary?" Sky questioned. Jason glared at Sky with a confused look.

"You have CaptainSparklez here? I have to see him immediately!" he demanded.

"Before you do that, I must ask, what did this CaptainSparklez do?" Sky asked.

Jason hesitated before answering. "He released Herobrine himself," Jason said finally.

CaptainSparklez was silently sitting up in his bed, thinking about what his dream could mean, when a strange man in a metal suit rushed into the room with Sky behind him. Captain wondered who this mysterious man was when he noticed the concerned look on the man's face. "What's going on?" Captain asked in a confused tone.

The man just glared at him for a while before saying, "Are you CaptainSparklez?"

"Yes," Captain said in a confused tone. "Why?"

"We have to talk," the man said, then turning to Sky he said calmly, "Where would be a good place to talk?"

Sky paused for a while to think before suggesting, "You could go outside into the gardens, come and follow me." With that Sky left the room and the man motioned for Captain to follow too.

Captain shuffled out of his bed and stood. His legs felt stiff and he had trouble getting his balance. The man stopped him from falling by grabbing his arm firmly. "Gain your balance and let's go," the man requested. "Oh, and my name is Jason."

Captain nodded slowly and trudged through the doorway with Jason behind him. Sky had been waiting at the end of the hallway and seeing them come out of the doorway, he started walking again.

They walked through winding passages that seemed to belong to some huge labyrinth. Captain was always in the back constantly stumbling, but Sky was walking slowly. The hallways didn't make sense to Captain and why they just kept going, but then again, nothing made sense to him anymore. At last, they came to a huge ornate doorway and walked out into the warm glare of the shining sun through the clouds. To either side were fences with gates that led to majestic gardens. Sky led them to the garden at the right.

"Should I leave to let you speak privately?" Sky questioned.

Jason nodded his head saying, "Yes, we won't take too long." With that, Sky left, walking back into the looming stone castle.

The garden was peaceful. Flowers and bushes were perfectly placed; their beauty shining on Captain's broken soul. A small pond was in the middle of the garden, and two benches were directly next to it. Jason walked over to one of the benches and motioned for Captain to sit in the bench next to it.

Captain walked over and almost fell onto the bench. "Do you know who you are?" Jason asked. Captain glared at him strangely. It seemed like a strange question Captain thought, but he might as well answer.

"CaptainSparklez," Captain answered. "Why?"

"Well, I come from a time when Herobrine has taken over the overworld," Jason started. "And according to my history books, Herobrine's assault started about this time."

Captain looked at Jason weirdly. "And what does that have to do with me?" Captain questioned.

Jason looked at him with a solemn countenance before concluding, "You were the one who released him." Captain took a moment to let that sink in.

"Like released him into the world?" Captain asked. Jason nodded his head. It just didn't seem right. Captain had trouble believing that such a great evil could be released by him.

But he didn't have too much time to think because at that moment everything went black.

Sky had been sitting in his throne when he heard it.

BANG! That sound resonated in Sky's ears. He stood up instantly up in his throne. He barely knew what he was doing until he did it. He ran. He ran and ran until he got to the gate.

When he got there, he saw the devastation. The garden was in ruins, ash was all that was left. Everything within a thirty block radius was scorched. Barely anything had survived. The wall had a gaping hole in it, but it was strong enough so that it didn't collapse. In the hole was a huge obsidian portal with purple matter floating in it. In the middle of the carnage, Jason was leaning over Captain, who was unconscious. The glass part of Jason's suit had slid over his face, protecting him from the blast. Captain was untouched from the explosion though, it was as if there was a protective bubble covering him.

Sky rushed over to the scene. "What happened?" Sky asked frantically. "Are you ok?"

Jason sat there for a while before saying, "Captain just went limp, and then a red glowing orb came out of his chest and it flew into the wall, causing a huge explosion. I am ok, luckily I was able to get my face covered in time, but I am just worried about Captain."

Sky looked down at Captain and was really starting to get concerned. He looked to the portal, which was eerily making strange sounds. He looked back at Jason.

"We have to get him back to the infirmary!" Sky demanded. Jason just stared at the ground for a while as if he had never heard him.

I won't let you, a voice resonated in Sky's head. He suddenly got a painful headache, making him clutch his head. The voice sounded ancient and evil, unlike anything he had ever heard before. He turned around slowly.

He thought his eyes were deceiving him when he saw who it was. In front of him was a man in a simple blue shirt and darker blue pants. But he instantly knew who it was when he looked at the man's face. The man's face had no expression on it, and his eyes were completely white with no pupils. Those eyes seemed to bore into Sky's soul and he suddenly couldn't move. He had a hard time believing who it was. It was the great evil from the folklore Sky had read about hundreds of times in the castle's library.

It was Herobrine.

Herobrine took no chance to pause and talk any longer. He walked right past Sky and Jason, who was also frozen, and simply picked up Captain by his shirt collar. He then dragged him through the portal and it was all over. Captain was gone. The only thing that was left was the portal still sitting there and the destroyed garden.

THAT IS THE END OF THE CHAPTER!
