The Nether was a horrible place, as most knew. It was the realm of Herobrine most believed. Though most knew something worse once dwelled there. They believed he had perished but there were deathly wrong. If one found the fortress, they'd believe it abandoned for it was sunken in lava. This was also wrong.

Just months earlier, the horrible Israphel was in power. The two heroes, Honeydew and Xephos as most known them, had brought an army of their allies to destroy the creeper and rescue the lovely Daisy Dukes, love of the presumed late Knight Peculiar. After a long heated battle, pardon the pun, the fortress started to sink into the lava. The heroes managed to escape and believed the foe was dead, burnt in lava. They could have never been more wrong. He had risen again. Xephos and Honeydew knew it. Israphel knew they still were around. Their battle was at a standstill.

In the time, Israphel went about finding his old minions such as the Creeper Boss and Zombie Boss, Skylord Vitali and Reverend John. He had also recruited others such as a young Minecrafter ,whose name was Farrell, who had an talent with mob communication. They had rebuilt part of the Nether Castle, with the help of a few mobs Farrell had manipulated.

Farrell was walking down one of the hallways. Ghasts sang their heartbreaking songs all around and zombie pigs groaned and squealed. His master had called him for some reason. It must be important anyhow. "Hello, Minecraftian." droned a voice to his right.

Standing there, leaning against the wall was a vampire, in fact it was the former Skylord Vitali. He purred, "Called to Master's service?"

Farrell nodded and the vampire coninued, "Same here." and proceeded to follow the minecraftian.

Farrell was the only one of Israphel's high-ranking minion who wasn't undead. He was a minecraftian, corrupted by his own hunger for power. He got power.

They eventually came to a large door, made of obsidian. Vitali pushed it open, gesturing for Farrell to come inside, which he did. Inside it was roomy but dominated by a long table, at it head the pale-faced man and his newest minion, a creeper-mage. Israphel grinned and said, to Farrell and Vitali, "Come on up, you two. We have stuff to discusssss."

Farrell saw as he was walking up to his master that the sandy-colored creeper, Creeper Boss was lurking behind his chair. Lurking in the shadows was Zombie Boss and Reverend John. Farrell sank into a low bow and then asked his master, "What have you called me here for?"

Israphel smiled as he replied, "I have called you all here to sssshow you ssssomething that'ssss going on in the Overworld. Missss Mage, if you pleassse?"

The creeper girl laid a clear orb in fron of Israphel. Colors swirled inside it until they formed three airships; one of obsidian, one of gold, and one of lapis. Israphel spoke, " Here you sssee three airshipssss by the names of Dragonssssong, Butterfly, and Calmar. A week ago the Calmar attacked the Dragonssssong. The Butterfly came to the resssscue. The commander of the Dragonssssong was sssslain by the commander of the Calmar who was in turn sssslain by the commander of the Butterfly."

Reverend John cut in, "How is this helpful?"

He was smacked by Zombie Boss and Israphel continued, " I assssume you know the Lady of the End?"

With that the orb's image turned into that of an enderdragon and Israphel explained, "Dessspite it being off-limitsss, ssshe took the Dragonsssong's commander's ssssoul and corrupted him into a being called Enderlox."

The image was now that of a minecraftian, wings sprouting from his back and heavy black tail lashing. He was grinning. Israphel finished, " He hasss been tearing everything apart. Dessstroying placesss in the ssspace of minutesss, burning down nature, and killing. A lot of killing. The heroesss even have noticed him for he wrecked their kingdom of Yogcraftia. Tearing holesss in the Jaffa Factory and setting the Ssssapling King's forest ablaze for example. Do I sssee him assss a threat? Of course. Though he can alssso be useful. If he laysss wassste to Minecraftia, I can ssswoop in and take over with no problemsss."

Vitali commented, "That's brilliant!" and the others agreed.

Israphel nodded, "We just need to monitor his progress. I assume you all want to go?"

The others responded with whoops and cheers but Farrell nodded solemnly. Israphel took notice and asked, "Not ssso confident?"

Farrell nodded vigourlsy, "Oh yes! I do! I was just...thinking."

Israphel asked, "Your ssssissster?"

Farrell nodded in shame, expecting punishment for not staying on focus. Israphel cut in, "Our mage can ssshow you her."

Farrell whisered, "That would be nice." and the mage brought him the orb.

The image was know of Miki. She looked sad, sitting cross-legged on a gold floor. Her hood was up, obscuring her face. Her hair was literally out of control, as long as her. 'She should cut it.' Farrell thought.

Across from her were two others, in the same attire, grey and silver armor. One was a boy with a pine-green kerchief and the other was a girl with glasses. Farrell commented, "I cannot hear them."

The mage apoligized and with a tap of her finger, their voices rang clear. Miki was currntly whispering, "Dimitri's in charge now?"

The boy nodded and Miki angrily said, "Why did Sky do it?!"

The boy answered, "He said he was gonna kill Enderlox and make sure we're safe. Reece was the only one who knew though. He told us it all, Miki!"

Miki scowled and asked, "What's the plan now?"

The girl chirped, "We're going to be going to a meeting between a lot of the armies of Minecraftia! Let me see. The Stars will be there. The Dead Army is sending a representative with a few of their recruits. The others will be the Dwellers, the Swifters, Saplings, some Yognaughts, maybe a few of the Audience. Captain Sparklez and Husky and Kermit and Seto too."

Miki commented, "Quite a few."

The image faded on this last words. Farrell asked, "Where was she?"

Israphel answered, "The Butterfly, the Sky's Army base as of now. It seems Commander Sky is away in the End. I wonder if he'll survive since he was there when Deadlox died."

Farrell murmured, "So his army plays a major role?"

Israphel nodded, and Farrell stated, "I know what I'm doing."

Israphel chuckled, "As you wish, Farrell. Just don't let your sister cloud your vision."

Farrell exclaimed, "If I find her, I'm bringing her with me. Even if she screams and kicks ll the way. I'm her brother. I know best."

He got up and walked away, focused on going back to the Overworld. He thought 'She's with the Sky Army? Really?"

Farrell had always regarded Sky as an idiot. He hated squids who ,before knowing they killed someone and put the apocalypse into motion, were harmless. He called gold butter and worshipped it practically. This idiot had ensnared his sister. Then again...if he did throw himself into the End and facing off against practically TWO enderdragons, all in the name of his recruits and loved ones, he couldn't be too bad.

With this last thought, he stepped through a Nether portal, not far from Israphel's throne room. He arrived in a desert, like all did. He smiled. The end of the world was coming and he felt fine.

-Insert line break here-

AN: *shot dead for last sentence*

We get to see what Farrell and Israphel is up to. If Sky Army didn't have enough to worry about they see know targeted by the monster of the sands and a brother with issues. It's also my headcanon that Israphel speaks with a hiss.
