AUTHORS NOTE

I'm back, baby. After a HUGE period of writer's block and school time, I finally think I can get back into the weekly updates that made this story so popular in the first place. So here we go.

Stephanie's PoV

We were gathered around the huge table where the citizens of the village and us ate our dinner. It was the most amazing thing I had ever seen! The table was so much better than ours, thanks to the Bibliocraft mod, I think it was called, and the food! Another mod called Pams Harvestcraft added huge amounts of new food recipes, like this weird flour and water stuff made into things that I could only compare to wires, covered in ground up beef, they called it "spaghetti" or something, I had no idea if I was even pronouncing it right. Or what about a slab of meat with a block of spoilt milk between two pieces of bread, called a "cheeseburger". These things had weird names, but they were without a doubt the most delicious things I had ever tasted! I just felt like stuffing my face…

"Hey slow down there, Steph. Don't eat too much." Yaebi, who was sitting next to me, said.

"Can't." I replied. "Too good."

"If you eat too much, you'll get fat and I won't think you're hot anymore."

I looked up and slapped him on the back of the head, and he faceplanted into his "burger". "I deserve that." he laughed as he got back up.

"By the way," I asked. "Are you eating meat? I thought you were a vegetarian."

"I am, this isn't meat. It's this stuff called…what was it again…tofu…? Or something like that."

We took a break from our meaningless conversation to listen to the much more important one going on, where Cupa was talking to Jaune about the reasons they needed to merge.

"The thing is, we may not be alone. A little while back we had some prisoners, a dryad, vampire, kitsune, catgirl and huntress, they were in league with Herobrine and tried to kill us, when the End collapsed we were able to get them out while they were unconscious and then planned to keep them locked up in our base in the Twilight." Cupa explained.

"I see. And why were these prisoners unconscious in the first place?" Jaune asked.

"Uhh…well we, um…kind of knocked them out in a series of one-on-one fights we had. They were lucky actually, we would have killed them if we had to, and it just seemed like a better way. We can kill monsters with no trouble, but when comes to fellow mobs, we just can't bring ourselves to do it."

"That's called being human. You're showing how much better you are than them." Jaune said as he ate a little more.

Cupa took a mouthful of food, then swallowed and continued her statement.

"At least that was our original plan, to keep them in our base. But we couldn't get them through the portal without them waking up, and we had nowhere to keep them, and it was dangerous, if they escaped they could kill us all, or worse, let Herobrine know that we're there. In short, we decided just to let them go. That may not have been the best decision after all."

"And what do you mean by that?" BB asked.

"Well, all these new mods are popping up now, and it's only a matter of time before they figure out and master some of them. If that happens we'll have an enemy with the same skills as us, and we're not sure how we can deal with that."

"And you want us to help you with this?" Renako asked.

"Well, this isn't an immediate threat so far. They might be dangerous in the long run, though, and they're only one of the many dangers that lie ahead for us, especially since we actually have an effective way to stop Herobrine."

The room fell silent when Cupa mentioned this. It was so eerily quiet that you hear the gentle hum of machinery several floors below us.

"We're listening…" Jaune said with a smirk.

"Is it ready?" Ivy asked Vixen.

"Almost. It's coming along nicely, we should have it fully operational within a day or so."

"Good. We need as much as we can get right now, I'm guessing you like this Mekanism stuff, don't you?"

"Not as much as you're liking Botania. This is really your thing isn't it?"

"These mods are a blessing. With their power we can get revenge on those incessant rebels and ensure the arrival of our true god. Me with Botania, you with Mekanism, Angel with Quiverbow, Nikki with Mariculture, and Darcie with Blood Magic. Sounds pretty well chosen to me."

Vixen smirked. "You are our boss. You make the best choices, you look out for us. It's been six months, and we're more powerful than ever. Now gear up, we have a rebellion to crush…"
