The song for this chapter is: Come and Get It by Selena Gomez (the Sam Tsui/Kurt Schneider version works better with the plot).

I was the one who killed the last squid. Cupquake had arrived and confessed with working with them. She told us that she would surrender and join the Sky Army. Her group had been tricked by Mia into joining her cause. We agreed to this.

After a few minutes of waiting, I finally saw Ty, Sierra, Jason, and Sly approaching the squid-defeated battlefield.

"Sierra!" I ran up and hugged her.

"Jordan! I was in the Nether! Herobrine kidnapped us!"

"Where's the Necklace?" Sky demanded. He stood right behind me.

"With him."

"Dammit!"

I ignored Sky and focused back on Sierra, "Did he hurt you? Are you alright?"

"Yes, yes. I'm okay. Don't worry about that," Sierra told me. She started to look around the battlefield, "Where's iEcho?"

"Sierra!" iEcho yelled and raced to meet us, "Where have you been?"

"Nether…" Sierra panted.

"Herobrine…" iEcho growled.

"I don't think the squids are our biggest problem anymore. Now that Mia is dead… she is not an issue," I finally announced to everyone, "Herobrine is. He wants me and iEcho dead. See, we're…" I glanced over at her. She nodded, despite her nervous facial expressions, "Children of Notch."

"What? How?" Everyone started to panic.

"Jordan! Why didn't you tell us sooner?" Mitch questioned.

"I didn't know!" I jumped in, "I didn't know until about an hour ago!"

"Everyone!" Sky declared, jumping on top of a tree trunk, "Be damn quiet! For Notch's sake! I think the best thing to do right now is to help Jordan. He needs all the support he can. You all remember when we joined with his other siblings. Now their brother is one of our own. He can't die…" Sky pouted and slowly sat down on the tree. No one dared to move, "He can't…"

I went up to the tree and placed the palm of my hand on his shoulder, "Sky, I'm not gonna die. You have to believe me on that one."

"I do… Jordan… I really do."

I smiled and helped him up to his feet, "You're the leader of the Sky Army, Sky. You gotta take charge now. Everyone's waiting."

"For budder!"

Everyone cheered, not for me, but for the Sky Army.

You're fighting in the Nether side by side with your best friends, defeating zombie pig men by the thousands. You remember days ago, you were stuck in the exact opposite position. This fight is personal. You need to take revenge on what he did to your one and only lover; the leader of your group; and all your other friends.

You separate from the rest of your group and make your way up Herobrine's tower, a diamond sword in hand. Once you reach the top, he is already waiting for you. Advancing to attack the Nether King, you glimpse at something vaguely familiar. A note. You can barely tell what it read but can make out a few lines: "There is freedom within, there is freedom without. Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup. There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost. But you'll never see the end of the road while you're traveling with me. Hey now, don't dream it's over. Hey now, when the world comes in, they come to build a wall between us. We know that they won't win." This is your note. The note you wrote to your friends. On the first day. The first day that you left the HQ. And he had it the whole time. This creates a passion of fury in your bones.

You finally race towards him. He quickly pulls out a fire-flaming obsidian sword and blocks your attack. His blinding pitch-white eyes try to stare into yours but you would never allow him to take over. Sky's budder necklace hangs around his neck. In a single motion, you grab the necklace, pull it from him, and stuff it in your pocket. Furious, he attempts to attack you from the side with his sword but you trick him by running to the other side. You bounce off of the wall and hit him from his back. You remember this maneuver from other events, smiling at the thought. Your happiness is interrupted, however, when he attacks yet again, fiercely swinging at your head.

"Jordan," he says, "Give up. You have no chance against me. I'm too powerful."

"No freaking way," you angrily reply. A tight grip on the sword, you slash through Herobrine's neck with a single swipe. He vanishes into thin air. You breathe out and wipe the sweat from your forehead.

I noticed everything was calm and silent for a few moments. Had I just killed Herobrine? Is it even possible for that to happen? If I did, he wouldn't be very happy. If I didn't, though, I knew he would be after me. But not today. Not today.

Sky and the others had slain all of the surrounding zombie pig men. Since Herobrine could no longer control them, no more spawned. Once meeting back up with the others, I turned to face Sky. I pulled out the necklace and handed it to him. He slipped it on around his neck and created a giant grin on his face.

"We're back in business… for good," he declared.

"For budder!" I started, smiling in Sky's direction.

"For budder!" Everyone else joined in.

The last thing I remember from that day was the shining reflection of the millions of budder swords being held up in the air.

This concludes it. The last straw.

Believe it or not, that was the finale. I hope you liked this story overall. Post a review if you want a sequel. I would be happy as budder to create a second one! I loved making this one and looking at all the positive feedback I've gotten. It's been great!

Just let me know if you want to see a sequel and I'll catch you all later.

Your fellow Sky Army recruit and friend,

Ray
