Enderlox alighted, barely making a sound on the opaque endstone. The enderdragon that wore the red-rimmed sunglasses of Captain Sparkles landed on one of the obsidian trees, comparable in size to Thunderhead. Enderlox scanned the ones present. Thunderhead stood tall, his fuzz-tipped tail lashing in obvious anger. Miki sat on his head, using his tree-branch-like horns for balance. Annie sat on the dragon's back, holding a red matter sword and with several magical rings on her fingers. Dimitri and Ryan stood by the dragon, holding their respective weapons, Dimitri with his signature butter cleaver and Ryan hefting his railgun. Felix lurked around them, agitated. Duncan had gone off to places unknown but Rythian stood under one tree, his thaumium sword by his side. Enderlox chuckled, "So you're competent enough to come..undetected even! You even got one of your cocky recruits to nab your commander...their not here are they? I will not worry myself with how you got him out. Torturing him was getting boring anyway"

Miki noticeably stiffened but kept quiet. Enderlox continued, "For what? Even if you beat me, you won't have somewhere to return to. Then again, you probably have some "for the greater good" mantra pushing you on. Is that it?"

Miki looked at the others...she didn't want them to talk either. Luckily none of the others did. Enderlox walked over to Rythian. Rythian looked at the younger Ender with his own teal eyes. Enderlox scoffed, "What about you, old man? Why are you here?"

Rythian answered, "You attacked my allies. Sure, we are the most dysfunctional group of crafters but you mess with one, you get the wrath of the others."

Enderlox laughed, "Really? What makes you think you can even stand up to me?"

Rythian pulled down his facemask, revealing the darkened skin and glowing purple scars, and laughed, "Because I have dealt with this longer than you."

Enderlox stepped back as Rythian continued, "Sure this gave me better magical abilities and made me able to sense the Enderman, but the Enderdragon Queen hated me. I was a hybrid that she didn't create. Thanks for taking her out, by the way. Now we just have to take this one out."

Enderlox walked back and said quietly, "So be it. DragonSparklez! Take flight and let us show them how inferior they really are to us of the End! Make sure you make the traitor scream!"

The black dragon, roared and launched himself at Thunderhead. Thunderhead retaliated by sending a strike of lightning at the dragon, who screamed as it hit. Miki hopped off the dragon, bracing herself as she landed on the endstone, for her archery skills would be needed on the ground. Thunderhead took to the air but Felix leaped off him, fire spewing from his mouth at the vastly larger Enderdragon.

DragonSparklez screamed again as the fire melted his glasses, burning his eyes and skin. With a mighty flick of his head, Felix flew off and crashed into one of the obsidian trees with a crunch. After an agonizing moment, he lifted his head and tried to stand up, albeit a little wobbly.

Meanwhile Dimitri parried with Enderlox, cleaver versus sword. With nary a sound, Ryan snuck up behind the Ender and aimed his railgun. In the nick of time, Enderlox turned around as he picked up on Ryan and the energy about to be shot at him. With a snap of his tail, he attempted to deflect the projectile to no avail. Though it blew him back against a tree. With a feral growl he launched himself at Ryan.

Ryan barely got the time to block the Ender using his railgun. Ebony talons scraped along the metal ,gouging long claw marks into it.
With a twang of the bowstring, Miki shot an arrow to distract Enderlox who roared again, taking to the air, readying himself to dive at the archer girl. Rythian stood in front of her with his thaumium sword. With a zip, Annie was hovering over them, the rings glowing with power. Rythian said to Miki, "Go find Duncan! Knowing him, he has some crazy plan!"

Miki took off into the trees, which progressively got deeper and darker. In the cover of trees, the Enders' muffled roars could be heard. Suddenly, Duncan poked out behind a tree and said, "Hi Miki!" as if they weren't fighting off horrible villains just outside.

Miki whispered, "What are you doing?"

Duncan laughed, "Setting a trap, of course!"

Miki asked, with a slight twang of worry, "What kind of trap?"

Duncan simply smiled and said, "The code word is sky. We need them to trigger it though. That is where you and your friends come into play. You see, if they know that they've triggered the trap, then they will have enough time to get away. If you can distract them, then we may have a chance. I've got enough power in this trap to be able to get rid of them easily...I just need them in range."

"Fine. Just tell me what I need to do." Miki muttered.

Duncan remarked, "Nothing much! Just fight! But when I say the code word, get out of there as quick as a flash!"

Miki stood, one of her eyebrows raised in question, which rose even higher when the scientist grabbed her by the shoulder and turned her around and urged, "Go on then!"

Miki trotted forward, but looked back to see the Yog gone. She muttered as she re-entered the battle, "Truly a mad scientist."

Back on the battlefield, it was chaos. Thunderhead did battle with DragonSparklez, with Felix breathing spouts of fire occasionally. Dimitri and Ryan, with his now ruined railgun on the ground, watched Rythian and Annie fight Enderlox. Duncan was still nowhere to be seen. Miki drew back her bow string, and sent a budder arrow toward Enderlox. It scraped his shoulder, ripping the white fabric. He turned, eyes aglow with unholy rage. He sent a purple fireball at the archer girl who threw herself on the ground and rolled away.

In a terrifying amount of time, Enderlox stood over her, with a cruel fanged smile. He prepared to smash her face in but luckily she rolled out of the way so that instead of her face smashed, her cape was snagged under his foot. With a half-hearted leap, she escaped the dragon hybrid by ripping her cape out from under him. She muttered under her breath, '"I'm going to need some extreme mending when this is all over."

With a high-pitched scream from his lasergun, Duncan revealed himself, goggles over his eyes and he smiling in blasted Enderlox who roared, "DragonSparklez! Get down here!"

The dragon swooped over Duncan bowling him over. Miki shot another arrow at him, but it didn't seem to affect the dragon who, as he swooped again, grabbed the scientist in his taloned paw and roared in triumph. Duncan, "Guys! Before he takes me sky-high! Do something!"

Miki caught onto the word "sky" almost immediately and yelled, "Thunderhead! Get Rythian! We need to get up!"

Rythian charged the dragon, slashing his paw, which caused it to drop Duncan who hissed, "Come on! Let's get out of here before it all goes sky-high!"

In that moment, everything seemed to blur. Thunderhead dove to grab the two. Miki and Annie took to the skies and the entire island exploded. Rythian yelled, "How much did you use?!"

Duncan shrugged and simply muttered, "More than what was under Blackrock..."

Meanwhile Annie dove into the cloud of smoke yelling, "Wait!"

Miki turned her eyes to what she saw, which was Enderlox and DragonSparklez falling, their forms fading. Enderlox's wings and tail seemed to vanish as if they had just been smoke the entire time. The black was fading from his arms and his headphones now glowed green. Miki, with a fierce warcry dove, to catch the commander of the Dead Army before he could fall into the deeper parts of the Void. She dove as fast as she could, gaining length fast but she started to feel dizzy, which indicated she was nearing the depth that the Void started. With a final grab, she grabbed the back of his ivory shirt and spiraled up, out of the Void. Annie floated nearby, setting the singer on Thunderhead. Miki did the same and said, "C'mon Thunderhead...all of you. Let's get out of here."
