With a quick warp, Darren found himself off that off forested island and in a bustling city full of Enders. It was the closest to Sky his senses could warp him too. He'd have to get closer or just find Sky. Then again, Enderlox could probably track signals too. It seemed like something Enders could do. He began to walk to the foreboding castle in the distance. It was probably the Castle of the Enderdragon.

After a while he gave up on walking and began to teleport every few yards. None of the other Enders seemed to care. He got to the Castle on looked up at its towering heights. It was mostly made out of obsidian, which was a given, but had great arching windows of glass and accents of netherbrick. He warped to the bridge and found it was open and even a few Enders were in the main courtyard. He casually walked in, still worrying that someone would recognize him as a fake Ender. Then again, no one did. It was a flawless disguise.

He focused, attempting to find Sky's energy signal. After a few seconds, he detected it. It was weak and pulsating, as if it was barely holding on. With a warble, he teleported to Sky. When he finished the warp, he was in a dimly lit cell. A redstone torch was placed in the wall by the door, which was the source of the light. The entire cell seemed to made of cobblestone. In the back a hunched figure stared at him with fear. Darren let out a shocked warble. It was obviously Sky, staring at him with now-feral yellow eyes behind shattered sunglasses. He strode towards Sky who shrunk away from him.

Darren had the Eye of Ender around his neck in full view but his Sky Army amulet was tucked inside his bandana since it would be a clear beacon to his presence. He took it off and dangled it in front of the commander. In the dim light, the amulet glowed, a perk of them. Sky's eyes widened and he said, "You didn't kill one did you? Was it the kid with the diamond-butter swords?"

Darren winced. Sky's voice was crackly...probably from disuse...or too much use. Sky murmured, "Oh Notch, please tell me you didn't kill one of them."

Darren shook his head and pointed to the amulet and then to himself. Sky smiled and his eyes fluttered as he lost consciousness, probably being awake in worry. He picked up Sky, who was limp and light in his arms. With a second warp, he teleported back to the island.

Meanwhile Enderlox opened the door to hear an Enderman warp away. He peered inside to confirm his worse fears: his favorite prisoner, Sky, was gone. He growled and turned, literally charging out of the castle. Once outside he took flight, giving a furious roar, causing Enders to flee in fear of being hurt. He spiraled up into the air, giving another terrifying roar. DragonSparklez crawled from behind the castle and joined him in the air, giving a questioning roar. Enderlox hissed, "We need to find them and END them."

DragonSparklez cracked a grin, which for a dragon is horrifying. He took off, Enderlox following. The Ender's signature was still new so it would be easy to follow.

Darren appeared before Miki and the others. Miki looked at Sky and Darren could see the look of shock cross her face. She murmured, "go back to the OverWorld and see if you can find Night and Flame. Then take Sky to the hospital! He needs it."

Darren nodded solemnly and teleported away, back to the OverWorld. He opened his eyes to see himself in a plains biomes. Humming, he locked onto Flame's energy, distinguished by it's blaze-like energy. He popped in front of them, when they were coming into major city, that he couldn't identify. They stood back, shocked but Flame stated, "Are you Darren? With the dorky bandana?"

Darren rolled his eyes and nodded. Night snapped at him, "How about we take the Commander to the hospital! I don't are if a creeper brought him, we need to do that first!"

She took off into the city and flame ran after her yelling, "I'll do the talking then!" Darren smiled, since it reminded him of old times, and teleported after him.

Needless to say, the people of the hospital were surprised when a green-eyed Enderman, and two teens in Sky army garb were walking in. Not to mention the Enderman was carrying the Sky Army commander himself. The receptionist asked, "What do you need today?"

Flame answered, "We need someone to look at Sky! I think he has a broken leg...and he's probably dehydrated and malnourished. Not to mention he looks pretty beat up."

The receptionist nodded and pressed a button and button to speak into her mic, "Hello, I need someone to take up our newest patient up and examine him. He is malnourished, dehydrated, has a broken leg and probably needs bandages and stitches."

In a few minutes, a team of doctors came in, with a gurney and gladly took Sky to be healed. The receptionist told them, "you and your...Enderman can go wait in either the waiting room or outside. If one of you wants to go, I need one person here."

Flame said, "Thank you so much."

He said to Night and Darren, "Let's go outside for a bit." and walked outside.

Once outside, Darren used the Ender Eye to transform back. Flame mumbled, "Where'd you learn that trick?"

Darren waved it off and instead asked, "Where are we?"

Night answered, "Icaria. Now how'd did you get Commander Sky?"

Darren sighed, "Long story but it has to do with the fact Miki, Annie and some others have some crazy scheme to fight Enderlox. I wish I could go back to assist, but even Endermen, or those with my low level of skill, need a portal to get to the End."

The other two looked at each other in worry and Night said shakily, "Let's go back in. See if we have something on Sky."

Miki sat atop Thunderhead when she heard the full-blooded roar of an Enderdragon. She said, "No one else attempted to attract them...did they?"

Dimitri shook his head and said, "They may have followed Darren."

Miki sighed, "Looks like we're starting earlier than expected."
