Normal Point of View:
Cupa sighed, quickly walking out of her house with her Diamond Sword as she looked at the early morning sky. "... Another day..." she said before Emerald walked up to her and handed her Howl's phone. "Mistress?" she asked as she took the phone.
"... Press call." she said as the Creeper obeyed and held it to her ear.
"... Hello?" a voice called out.
"Yes?" Cupa asked.
"... Who is this and why do you have my son's phone?" the woman on the other line asked.
"... Are you... Howl's mom?" Cupa asked.
"Yes." the woman replied. "I'm Howl's mother, Alexis Branson. Who is this and where is my boy?"
"... H-Howl's... Howl's..." she said before bursting out into tears as she hung up and turned off the phone. She ran off toward her house as she dropped the phone on the ground.
"Cupa!" Emerald called out before she got no reply. "... It's no use..." she said, sighing as she picked the phone up and gripped it tightly. "... He died fighting for everyone... And I can't even do anything but hide behind a desk." she gripped the phone even tighter before throwing it down. Immediately it sprung open and revealed a note. "... Aren't Eaters and Creepers natural enemies?" she asked, getting on one knee as she picked it up. She stood back up and dusted off her dress. "... Call Uncle Hamartia?" she muttered, reading the note. "... Tragic Flaw? His name means tragic flaw?" she muttered. "Then call Halloween?" she said, raising an eyebrow. "... And then Steve?"
"... What's that Mistress?" A Villager asked, walking up to her as she shook her head.
"Just a thing from a friend." she said, placing the phone in her dress before walking back to her office. "How does he have Steve's number?"
In The Real World...
A knock came from the front door of Howl's house as his mother opened it. "Yes?" the blonde answered just in time to see a brown haired boy looking at her. "Dimitri?" she asked.
"Is Howl okay? He was supposed to meet me outside earlier this week. We were gonna go to the arcade." He said as she shook her head.
"... He's in Minecraftia." she said as he chuckled.
"A video game? He's sucked into a video game?" He asked as she dragged the boy in before pushing him up the stairs. "Okay, okay I'm going Aunt Alexis." he said, walking up the stairs before going to Howl's room and seeing the teen laying there, his body still. "Yo buddy." he said, walking over as he took the helmet off of his head. "... Dude?" He said before raising his hand. "Wake up!" he shouted, slapping the boy across the face as his eyes shot open and he gasped.
"HOWL!" Alexis and Dimitri said excitedly as Alexis had tears dripping down her face.
"... Dimitri... Alexis..." He said before looking at Alexis. "M... Mo-" he began before he suddenly became nothing but pixels before fading slowly.
"PERCY!" Alexis screamed, tackling the boy and holding him tightly. "I'm not letting you go! Not again son! Please! Just eat something! Eat me if you've got to! Just don't make me lose you!" she screamed as he hugged her back, smiling lightly, tears falling down his face. "Please..."
"... I'm sorry mom... I've got to go..." He whispered as he kissed her cheek. "... I love you guys... And please... Take care of Cora and Reese..." he said before fading into nothingness. Alexis gasped before bursting out into tears and laying on the bed, not noticing the blood spot.
"... He was murdered!" Dimitri said, touching the blood spot before going to the computer and typing away rapidly. "Auntie if what you said is true, then that means that someone in-game had killed him and he died in there! We should be able to see who is the one who had killed him! All I need is to find some memory data of what he last saw before death!" he shouted before pulling up a window and showing a video, revealing Herobrine murdering Howl through his own eyes. "... That's the fucktard I'm after!" Dimitri shouted angrily before putting on the helmet himself. He grabbed a disc out of his bag before shoving it into the helmet's disc insert. "Log in, Dimitri Makenna!" he said before closing his eyes and falling into the chair.
"Dimitri no!" Alexis shouted a bit too late as he disappeared, his particles entering the helmet.

"Alexis!" Lance called out from another room as she ran out, quickly running to another room, this one was filled with many computers and two beds.
"What is it Lance?" she asked before he pointed to the beds.
"Even Lukas and Scyther's bodies have gone missing!" he said as she gasped.
"No..." she said, falling to her knees and burying her face in her hands. "... It's all his fault..." she whispered before looking up an screaming at the top of her lungs. "GIVE ME BACK MY FREAKING FAMILY, GRANDFATHER!" she screamed as a doll appeared on her shoulder. She looked at it before hugging it. "Oh Faust... You, Sam and Hamartia are all I have left..." she whispered, holding the doll as it whispered into her ear.
"... I'll go get them." It whispered as she shook her head, holding the doll in her hands.
"No! Don't leave Faust please!" she begged as it flew out of her hand before taking the forme of Howl and grinning, his eyes, blue as the ocean.
"I'll be back mom." He whispered, smiling at her before bursting into flame and disappearing in the smoke.
Syth's Point Of View:
"... This should work." I said to myself as I raised my sword, Nijū-sei over my head. "I can't take everyone crying anymore." I said before slamming the tip of the blade into the block of Stone. "Howl." I whispered as I twisted the sword. I released a sigh as it glowed. It suddenly turned red before it set on fire. I gasped, jumping back as I landed on the ground, Nijū-sei glowed before fading into nothing but pixels before two silouhuettes appeared, leaning against the other, one a foot taller than the other, who was leaned against him. I held my stomach as I suddenly felt a drastic increase in the amount of evil in the atmosphere.
"Aww, did you miss me, Sythypoo?" a familiar voice rang out as the shorter one jumped off of the block and walked over to me before looking up at me, giving the most innocent smile I could ever imagine.
"H-Howl-kun?" I asked before he grabbed my shirt, pulling me down before holding a sawed-off shotgun to the side of my head.
"... Not quite." he answered. I gasped before seeing him sent flying.
"Close one." the taller one said as I looked up and gasped. He looked just like Howl-kun might if he was 17. "That's Faust. Howl's other side." he said as the Howl copy stood up and drew a dual-bladed sword and span it.
"Aww, old man... Why do you do this?" Faust teased, swinging his sword happily before stabbing it into the ground. "You've always gotta ruin my fun." he said as the teen pulled out a rapier.
"Changeling Saber... Form 94: Heated Needle." he said before the rapier set ablaze. He held it near his eye before it heated white. "Flame Beam!" He shouted as he swung his Sword, a Sword Beam of fire attacking Faust as the teen was sent flying thousands of blocks away. "... And now I'm bored..." he said.
Normal Point Of View:
"... Oh, you're the brat's friend." he said as he took a step back. "Just so you know, my name isn't Howl. I'm Alex Percival, his ancestor." the teen said, sighing as he walked away from Syth. "..." He stopped in his tracks. "... Thanks by the way..." he said, pointing at the small area that was set ablaze with purple fire. "You sacrificed your sword in order to bring Howl back... And you gave the three of us both our bodies and our lives back." he said, smiling at him.
"... In that case you're welcome Alex-kun." Syth said, nodding to him as the teen chuckled.
"You're a good kid." He said before reaching out to his left with his left hand. "... I want a fight." he drew a golden blade and held it in his left hand before pointing it to Syth. Syth gasped, jumping back as he landed on the ground on one knee, gripping a few blades of grass.
"I don't want to fight Alex." Syth said, reaching for his blades.
"... But I do." he said before rushing at Syth, spinning the blade in his left hand before holding it back-handed and swinging it at Syth. Syth rolled out of the way quickly, grabbing his new sword with his left hand before swinging it at Alex and completely around him before noticing the teen was gone. He froze upon feeling a weight atop his blade as he turned his head, looking at his sword behind his back before seeing Alex standing on the edge of it, yawning. "Too slow." He said, scratching his cheek as he threw his sword into the air and rubbed his eyes. He then started walking on the blade toward the frozen Syth as Syth quickly span, sending the teen off of his blade as he drew his dagger, holding it back-handed in his right hand before turning back to Alex, who was laying on the grass, yawning. "Too easy..." he said before standing up, gripping his sword tightly with his left hand before holding it in front of him, blade between his eyes as he closed them. "... Rain!" he shouted before rushing at Syth, who gripped his own sword, blocking it before Alex slipped past his sword, swinging his sword at his leg.
"AH!" Syth shouted, looking as he felt the sword dig into his leg as Alex grinned.
"Draw blood." Alex whispered before suddenly flipping his sword. He suddenly began spinning quickly before slicing at his arms, other leg, torso and more before throwing the frozen teen up into the air.
"I'm so dead!" Syth thought Alex pointed his sword up. "Time to use that!" Syth thought as he glowed white.
"Not enough." Alex shouted before stabbing at Syth, the blade shattering as he grunted. He landed on the ground next to a weakened Syth who was leaning on his broadsword. "... Nice." he said, charging the rapier as it glowed white. "Form 83: Bullet Breaker." he said as the rapier's middle spread open and he pointed it at Syth. "Bang!" he shouted as bullets flew at Syth. Syth gasped and ducked just in time to dodge eight bullets.
"Take this!" Syth shouted, hurling his dagger at Alex as he rolled out of the way just in time to get impaled with Syth's blade and stuck to a stone wall. "... Oh... No..." Syth said with wide eyes as he held the blade. "I-I'm sorry!" he shouted before Alex pushed him away and ripped the blade out of his stomach.
"Not a problem." he said, tossing the blade to Syth with a grin. "That was fun." he said before walking away. "Looks like he picked the correct person for the job." he said as he grinned. He stopped in his tracks and turned to Syth. "Here." he said, tossing a Heart Flower at him. "... See you." He said before disappearing into nothingness.
"... That... Was... Close..." Syth muttered, taking the Heart Flower and healing himself. "..." He looked back at the stage and sighed. "... Looks like it's back to Whistle Grass Village." he said before walking North, sheathing his weapons as he did. "... I'm not gonna stop... Notch knows I won't." Syth said, walking again.
"AAAH!" a screaming was heard before someone crashed through the roof of Cupa's house and landed on the floor. She gasped, looking over from the bed as she saw a VERY familiar and unconscious figure.
"H-H-H-H-HOWL!" she shouted happily as she ran oved to the unconscious teen before picking him up and carrying him to the bed. She then began hugging him as if she had never hugged him before, tears streaming down her face.
"..." the teen sat up as she hugged him tighter. He smiled lightly before petting her head. "It's good to see you too Cora." he whispered, smiling before kissing her tears away. "I missed you."
"I missed you too!" she said happily before leaning up and kissing him. He moaned, closing his dark blue eyes as she failed to noticed that he wasn't wearing contacts.
"... She's really falling for me..." he thought before wrapping his arms around her body.
With Lukas and Stella...
"... That was quick." Lukas said, looking at the house with a smile as he opened the door for Stella. She smiled and walked through. He smiled quickly following her as he unzipped his jacket and hung it on a coat rack. He quickly looked around and gasped. "Wow... this place is nicer than my house back in my world!" he said as she smiled. He laid his scythe and broadsword next to his jacket and sighed, rolling down his sleeves on his thin sweater.
"I'm glad you like it." she said, walking into the living room and sitting on the couch.
"... So... Can I stay the night?" asked Lukas as she gasped.
"What, don't like the house?" she asked as he shook his head quickly.
"It's not that I don't like the house, I LOVE it and all. It's exactly the kind of house I'd love to settle down with a cute girl in." he said as she blushed lightly. "But... It's too soon for me to settle down... I'd have to go and make myself a hidden base of operations where I can make sure Master stays sealed and find my family." he said as she sighed deeply. "... And I don't want to drag you into my own problems." he said before she walked up and pinned him against the wall, looking up at him. He blushed deeply as he felt her breasts against his chest.
"Look buddy, I don't know who you are, but you should notice one thing. Master isn't dead, he's just hiding in the Void and besides, we're on the same side if Master's your enemy!" she said angrily as he nodded slowly, his red eyes meeting her silver.
"... I know but I'd hate to see you get hurt." He said as she frowned.
"Think girls can't fight?" she asked as he shook his head and flipped them around, pinning her to the wall.
"The opposite. Girls can kick a lot of ass... It's just..." He looked away.
"It's just what?"
"... My job." he said as she frowned again.
"And where do you get off of your high horse and decide tha-"
"Listen to me!" he shouted, shaking her. "Master is a being that is stronger than any warrior you've ever seen in your life! Compared to your little Herobrine, Master would be making Herobrine his whore!" Lukas said as she widened her eyes with fear. "He's so strong that I could barely defeat him last time!" he said as she looked at his left hand... Noticing the metal.
"..." she suddenly intertwined her fingers with his metal ones. He gasped, watching her as he blushed lightly.
"Yeah... He took that too." he said, sighing before she lifted up her hand.
"... We're the same... Falling to pieces." she said as her skin on her hand and fingers turned to ash before blowing away, leaving only bone. He looked at the Skeleton and gave a small smile.
"... I guess we are, Estelle." He said as she flinched a bit before smiling.
"Hey... It's not so bad when you say my first name..." she whispered quietly as he blushed.
"... Don't like it?" he asked as she nodded.
"You prefer Lukas, don't you?" she asked as he nodded. "Then I'll call you Lukas if you call me Stella." she said, smiling at him. He nodded as her fingers regrew skin quickly.
"... Alright Stella." he said, smiling at her as she nodded. She smiled back as he let her go and sat on the couch. She sat next to him, strangely she was very close. He blushed and stared at her as she snuggled closer to him. "... Stella?" he asked as she looked at him.
"Yes Lukas? What is it? Do you have something to sa-" she began before he crashed his lips onto hers. They blushed deeply before breaking the kiss and looking away from each other, backs facing the other's.
"What the Heck was that?" they screamed in their heads before they slowly got up and walked away from each other.
Chapter 14: I like teens. *Evil and perverted grin*
Questions to be answered:
Will Lukas and Stella ever realize what's happening?
What is going on in the afterlife?
Who is Alexis's grandfather?
What will happen to Cupa and Howl now that they're together once again?
All these questions and more probably not answered on the next overly-dramatic chapter of Road To The End!
