Welcome back, to the Minecraft Interviews! Where, like in the Hunger Games, we interview people before sending them to their deaths. Let's keep going, shall we?

Naaz hissed loudly, a smile curled on her lips. She wasn't just a hand anymore, but a full sized figure, with pitch black skin, green eyes, and green highlights in her dark hair. She opened her eyes. 'My eye has seen a little further into the future, Akbar.'

'And? What did you find?'

'They will look for all of the Items, as I suspected, but we will stop them, and take an Item from one of them. And the one who we take the Item from will be originally mortal, so the pain will have him at the brink of death.'

'Ah, and are you going to be mercccciful and kill him?'

Naaz shrugged. 'That I cannot see. And I suppose it depends on-' She froze, and closed her eyes. Her body flickered from white to black again. 'Akbar...'

'What isss it?'

'I don't know. A flash of dirt, and emerald...and...arms? I cannot tell, Akbar. My eye is clouded without the source of our brother. Ast! If he would stop being a fool, he could help us so much.'

'But he isss blinded by the light, sssissster, believing that it isss the right path. Surely, he of all immortalsss would know that there isss no right path, that there isss no right side, only a force that, unfortunately, contradictsss another.'

'You act like you don't have a horrible lust for blood.'

'And you act like you don't desperately need anger management.'

'Akbar!'

'See what I mean?'

When Herobrine landed on the ground, hard, just as all the others, and although he had a stinging pain in his knees, he managed to stay upright, while the other mobs weren't so lucky. He noticed how close to Steve he was, remembered the pain in his stomach that was finally residing, and gave the adventurer a wide berth.

"Where are..." Steve gaped. The planet was in a mix of multiple different colors and grounds. Some of it was a sparkling red, or a gleaming light green, or a deep blue, some a bright white, some golden, and some was just simply dirt brown. It was like the planet had been split into seven pieces.

"Home." Iron and Snow Golem whispered at the same time. Then they looked down at their feet, having standing in the sparkly red. They both yelped in shock, and ran to where the colors would mix. "Run!" They yelled to the others.

"I swear, they're insane." Herobrine shook his head, but everyone else was already running, so he groaned and followed.

They made it to where the the colors met, so they were standing on all of the colors at once. Then the screaming started.

"Invaders!" Deep voices yelled.

"Snow, on your spot, on your spot!" Iron Golem practically pushed Snow Golem onto the white area of land, and Iron Golem took the silver one. And then there stood the Golems. The one that was a deep red glared at them.

"You were on my land!"

"We're not now, Redstone! Besides, you can't choose where you land very easily when you're universe travelling, you should know that." Iron Golem glared at him.

"Lousy excuse." Redstone snapped.

"Just ignore him." Snow Golem said, who saw the look in Iron Golem's eye. "He's just really hotheaded."

"What did you call me?!" Redstone Golem yelled, before throwing redstone dust at Snow Golem's face, causing his pumpkin head to be covered in red. He wiped it off around his eyes, and then picked up his own snowball, tossing it around in his hand, and smiled darkly, but it didn't touch his eyes, that had a glare in them that was colder than his body temperature.

"You really wanna start that with me?"

Redstone didn't look too happy all of the sudden. "No, no, I swear I didn't mean it." He held up both arms, since they had no individual hands.

"Snow, Iron, Redstone, calm down." The one that gleamed with diamond stared at them. "The whole point of the Brother Pact was to keep the peace, not break it. And what is this weird mix of mortals and half mortals and immortals that you've brought with you, Iron, Snow?"

"They're fine, Diamond, they're with us."

"So, in other words," Dirt Golem muttered, "They're anything but fine." He muttered something else, and everyone heard it, but it wasn't exactly clean vocabulary.

"Dirt! Language." Diamond stared at him. "Gosh. What are you guys doing back here? And why did you guys ever leave? We got away from the explosion, and went to go hide, and you guys left after two days! What's up with that?"

Snow laughed. "Can you blame us? Are you guys blind? It was practically war over here...although the Minecraft Interviews isn't exactly a picnic..."

"Hey! I'm trying, okay?!" Ashley groaned. "It's not easy, I still don't know what I'm gonna do about Herobrine and the Inc Sac of Ultimateness..."

"What? Ultimateness? That's not even a word."

"Yes it is! Because I made it an Item. It's legit, okay?" Ashley snapped. "And I still have to figure out something wrong with Baby Mooshroom...I'm having trouble..."

"I wish you luck on that entirely pointless task." Kristina rolled her eyes.

Baby Mooshroom's face somehow seemed a brighter red, and she stared at the ground.

"Besides, it's not like you have a choice, Snow." Ashley shrugged.

"You guys seem to get side-tracked pretty easily." The gold golem muttered. "The point is, Iron and Snow, you guys don't belong here anymore."

"Oh, please, like we want to stay." Iron rolled his eyes.

"We're just here for the Flint-" Ashley started to say, but Iron cut her off.

"We're just here for a short break, from the, uh, problems we were facing. We'll be out of your hair in a day, at the most." Iron said.

Dirt glared at them, and he and Redstone exchanged glances, before Redstone said, "Really? You're not after the Flint 'n' Steel of Hate?"

At that, all of the Golems glared and narrowed their eyes. Lapis, the only girl out of all of them, said, "Guys, don't go jumping to conclusions."

"Shut up, you useless blue crap." Dirt hissed. Lapis glared at him but said nothing.

"Obviously, they want to steal the Item while we're not looking, and they've brought their weirdos with them to help!" Redstone snarled.

"No, no! You guys can keep your Item of hate!" Iron said. "Believe me, I don't want it. It just corrupts you guys. Just let us stay on our sides for a day or so, then we'll go."

Dirt glared at Diamond. "You're the oldest member of the Brother Pact, make a choice. And don't screw it up."

Diamond ignored him, and turned to Emerald, and the two talked for a moment, before Diamond said, "Yes, you two and your gang of mixed species can stay, but for a day and no less, no more. Sundown tomorrow we'll give you guys your way out."

"Thank you." Iron and Snow said. Then, all of the Golems stomped the ground three times, and then lifted their hands in the air saying, "Brother Pact!"

Then Iron and Snow rushed to grab the other mobs and get them over to their side.

"Brother Pact?" Ghast asked.

"Stupid contract-thing that Diamond came up with. After we got away from the explosion -yeah, we had to lie about that, don't trust you Ashley-"

"Fair enough." Ashley shrugged.

"-it was basically war over here, everyone yelling at each other. We were really related, but Diamond got the whole 'Brother Pact' so that we have to act like we are, and that we all have our own land, and we all aren't allowed to attack each other...I don't think that they follow that too often." Iron replied.

"We have bigger problems." Snow said to Iron. "They already suspect us!"

"I know. We'll have to be careful. I wish that Redstone wasn't so full of himself, and keeping the Flint 'n' Steel of Hate to himself. I know that Dirt and he are the closest to it."

"How do we get there without, uh, getting murdered?" Snow asked.

"I don't know...maybe we can come up with some kind of distraction? Then we need to get the Item, and run like there's no tomorrow."

"If we don't, there won't be a tomorrow." Snow replied grimly.

"You know," Said a voice to their left, "you guys are not good at being quiet." They turned, and saw Lapis standing there, smiling. "It would be a shame if everyone else to hear about this."

"Lapis, come on, you wouldn't do that to us!" Iron sounded like he was begging.

"You know I wouldn't." Lapis replied. "But I know how to help you. What if I told you that there was a passage that lead to the Item? I'll show it to you guys one two conditions."

"Of course." Snow rolled his eyes.

"Tell us." Iron said.

Lapis's smile widened. "One, you tell me why you guys want the Item and where you're going with it."

"We want it to fight a bunch of creepy hands that are trying to kill us. And we're going across galaxies and universes." Snow said.

She blinked for a moment, raised an eyebrow, and then kept going. "Two, you take me with you." Her smile faded, and she looked like she was begging them now. Her brothers shook their heads, and her voice reached a tone of desperation. "Please! I can't stand it here anymore. I'm tired of everyone else treating me like nothing just because I'm more common and 'I'm used for decoration.' And because I'm a girl." She rolled her eyes. "They obviously don't know pure beauty when they see it."

Snow thought of how they had called Iron Golem's sleek, silveriness ugly, and nodded in agreement. "We can't take you where we're going, though, sis, it's dangerous."

"I don't care! Then take me to some blue planet, but let me be anywhere but here!" She crossed her arms. "Or you won't find the Flint 'n' Steel of Hate."

"Alright, fine, fine. You got a deal." Snow said. "Tell us where it is."

"Lapis, this place smells like caves! I thought they were all removed because everyone fought over them." Snow said.

"They did. Except this one. Because it's mine, and told them that there is only lapis in here. And that's all there is." She shrugged. "Now come on, this leads straight to Redstone's 'palace', where he has the Item. We might have to fight him..." The three Golems winced, remembering all too well the sting and burning sensation that his redstone daggers had.

And, with a gasp of pain, Snow was reminded of that sensation. Iron and Lapis turned towards where the knife had come from while Snow yanked it out of his stick-like arms.

"I knew you guys would come after the Item. I thought you guys understood the first time, it's not yours, it's mine!" Redstone yelled.

Dirt basically said the same thing, but with a lot more foul words, most of which don't exist in this language.

"Guys," Iron held up his arms, "we don't want to fight."

"Oh. Well," Redstone twisted his dagger around, "that's unfortunate."

Fifteen seconds later, half of the mobs were still groaning and trying to rip Redstone's daggers out of them, while Redstone himself groaned under the weight of Iron's feet on his back.

"Let me go!" Redstone yelled, like Dirt swore and tried to struggle against the ropes that bound him.

"Oh, put a cork in it." Snow groaned, snapping Dirt's mouth shut.

Herobrine picked up a red bag at Redstone's waist and glanced inside it. "Jeez, how many of these daggers do you have?"

"Enough to be throwing them at you for two hours." Redstone muttered, struggling against Iron again. "Dude, you're breaking my back bone!"

"Didn't know you had one." Iron rolled his eyes. "You should've seen yourself when you were running away from the 'Great Explosion.' Looked like you were about to pee yourself."

"Shut up!"

"Now, where's the Item?" Snow asked, tightening the ropes down on Dirt, making the brown golem squirm.

"Like I would just tell you." Redstone laughed. "You guys are hilarious."

In sync, Zeus, Kristina, and Herobrine all exchanged a glance. Herobrine smiled.

"He's gonna enjoy this way too much..." Kristina sighed.

"True." Zeus replied. "But he also really know how to torture, so." Sarah glared at Zeus, who shivered and cleared his throat, and nearly whispered, "Unfortunately for you, Herobrine, some of them learn."

Herobrine took a quick glance at Sarah, who smiled innocently. The white-eyed vampire stared into nothing for a couple seconds, shuddered, and then cleared his throat. He dug through the bag again and grabbed three of Redstone's daggers. He stared into space for a long time. "Hey, Iron, Snow, do golems bleed?"

"Uh. Yeah, whatever their item is." Snow replied.

"How much can they bleed before they die?"

Snow and Golem looked at each other and shrugged.

"Well, I hope you guys don't mind redstone then. Probably not gonna be pretty."

Herobrine smiled a little. This had the desired effect on Redstone, who was squirming under Iron like his life depended on it, which it definitely did. But Redstone might as well have tried to move a mountain; Iron seemed to hardly notice.

"Now, do what you want," Herobrine leaned down so he was only a couple inches than Redstone, "but I recommend answering while you can, and saving everybody a whole lot of time. Where is the Item?"

Redstone hesitated a moment, and it was a moment too long. He let out a blood-curdling scream that made Baby Mooshroom and Baby Sheep cover each other's ears. Iron and Snow flinched, but Iron didn't get off Redstone, who now had red dust pouring out of three different places on his arm.

Herobrine flicked the sparkling dust off his knife. "Cool. So, you ready to tell us now, Redstone?" Herobrine waited three seconds, in which Redstone bit down on his lip till dust spilled from it. Then the vampire said, "Alright then," He lowered the dagger, "I can start on your leg."

Redstone jerked in an attempt to get away from him, but didn't succeed. "Wait!"

Herobrine sighed. "For what?"

"The-the Item's in the safe downstairs. The code's 1854192015145."

"Well, that didn't take so long." Herobrine laughed, and then kicked Redstone in the head. The golem was knocked out cold.

"That was unnecessary." Kristina muttered.

"I know. Snow, Iron, you guys should go get the Item." Herobrine said. The two golems nodded, and both headed down a staircase.

The following silence was awkward, and everyone shifted, Baby Sheep and Baby Mooshroom chit-chatted a bit, and then the two golems came back, Snow holding a Flint 'n' Steel that glowed red.

"Guys," Iron pointed towards the door, "don't move."

Iron might as well have said nothing, because every single mob turned around and froze where they stood. In the doorway, and behind it, stood more golems than any of them could count. Some of them were recognizable as different elements from Minecraft, but some were entirely new, like a light blue golem that had the texture of a tree, and a blindingly bright hot pink golem with wool texture. All of them had three things in common; they were all golems, they all looked pissed, and they all had weapons.

"Told ya, Di." A dark gray golem nudged the crystal golem next to him.

"Yeah, yeah, Basalt, you're always right." Diamond rolled his eyes. "Well, sorry, Iron, Golem, but if you have read the Brother Pact lately..."

Iron and Snow exchanged glances, both of them looking pale. Iron's voice was flat. "'If the Flint 'n' Steel, sixth Item of the Stars, is stolen-" Iron began,

"'-all thieves are to be eliminated immediately.'" Snow finished.

"Oh. How...lovely." Ashley sighed, and drew her diamond daggers.

"Wait, don't you think you should've warned us that our untimely death could be the result of getting that Item?" Zombie Pigman groaned.

"Uh, I was kind of hoping it wouldn't get to that." Snow replied.

"Same here. Recommendation; don't go anywhere near Diamond or Emerald, their spears hurt like the Nether." Iron winced.

"Mother of Minecraft, that's an understatement." Snow rubbed a crack on the inside of his upper arm-or, stick. "Do you remember that one time we were trying to prank Emerald?"

"Which one?"

"The one with the hammer and the red-painted rock."

"Oh, yeah! And the-"

Emerald threw a spear between them, inches from Iron's leg. Snow growled and threw a pointed snowball at Emerald, but Emerald ducked, and Gold took it to the face. The golden golem shouted and blindly waved his sword around until it collided with Ghast, who pushed him away with some fireballs, taking out the golem beside him as well. Basalt charged, right towards Zeus, who rolled his eyes and waved his hand, and Basalt was flung into three other golems, who fell down like dominos. In seconds, it was chaos.

And it was a conflicted battle, because the mobs were all quick and weaker, while the golems were slow and stronger. And at the moment, the size and numbers of the golems didn't matter; the mobs simply would not give up. (And yes, even Ashley was taking damage, just because she's a writer doesn't mean she's immortal.)

And Ashley thought she had it bad, and that was before Diamond's spear was wedged into her leg. "Holy Sister of Saplings!" She muttered under her breath and groaned while blood oozed out of her leg. She ripped the spear out, and it landed in his shoulder. He yelled with such pain that she almost said sorry.

With Diamond being wounded, the other golems lost the remaining of order they had had. Or maybe it was because the Flint 'n' Steel of Hate had accidently lit something on fire, and it was glowing too bright to look at.

The mobs were cheering with victory, but, as Snow groaned as he said, "The cavalry's arrived." And another hundred golems rushed in, most carrying hammers or their bare fists.

But Herobrine was watching this all with vague interest. His eyes were set on one thing, his mind set on one thing; blood.

It wasn't something he could help. Injuries and wounds were all around him, like they were taunting him. He tried to restrain himself, not sure why it was so hard; once you were trained properly, any vampire could overcome their cravings. And normally he could. But not right then. He bit his lip lightly, but it started to bleed much faster than usual. His fangs were sharpening. Then the words 'blood,' and 'feed,' beat into his head with every heartbeat that he could hear, something that usually only happened when he was hunting. Herobrine didn't take that as a good sign, but he was almost beyond caring. The only thing in the world that mattered right then, was blood.

And the closest, warmest, wettest wound was the blood pouring out of Ashley's leg. He looked towards it, not really looking at the person connected to that leg, and walked, sort of stalked, towards it. His eyes turned crimson.

And Ashley saw him. "Aw crap. I forgot about this scene." She hopped away the best she could, but all it did was screw up her balance, make her cry out in pain, make the blood come out faster, making Herobrine speed up. She did the last thing she thought she would ever end up doing. "Zeus, Zeus!"

Herobrine's father turned, just in time to Herobrine jump towards her. Instinct took over, and his hand wrapped around Herobrine, stopping him in his tracks, though the vampire struggled worse than Redstone had, snapping at his father like he'd lost his mind, which Ashley was beginning to consider he probably had.

And then Zeus took action. He grabbed all of the mobs, as well as Lapis, one by one, and shoved them out of the hole of Redstone's hiding place. And then he began universe travelling, while his son still fought against him.

They landed on a planet that looked a lot like earth, but some place in nature that had been too heavenly to exist there. In every place there was either an animal, flower, grass, bush, or tree. There were mountains on the horizon, and it all smelled like lavender and the smell of fresh dew on grass, and multiple other smells that only untouched, pure nature can have, and everyone felt like they were floating, the pain in their wounds seeming to dissolve.

But the vampire that Zeus was still trying to restrain didn't set a good mood on the others. And Herobrine got his teeth in his father's wrist, though there was no blood to suck, the feeling still wasn't exactly comfortable for the vampire's father. Finally, Zeus growled in frustration and annoyance, and punched Herobrine in the face. He should have been knocked out cold, although any other mob probably would have died, but Herobrine just blinked, his eyes fading back to white.

"What in the Nether...?" Herobrine rubbed his temples. "What's going on?"

"Herobrine," Zeus stared in annoyance at the two teeth holes in his wrist that wasn't as healing as fast as it usually would, "you've been cursed."

"Oh. Well." Herobrine blinked. "Shit."

Annnnnddd that's all for now. I know it took me longer to post, but I was totally at a blank for ideas, but finally this comes out so late at night. Heh, go figure. Oh, and let me know how the length is. It this too short? Too long? Let me know. Well, cya guys next time!
