Kara sat quietly in the conference room, listening to the generals argue over what to do next. Some said to take Herobrine head on, and others wanted to evacuate somewhere he couldn't get to them. Kara wondered where such a place would be that Herobrine couldn't attack. The Aether? How would they get up there without dying?

The commotion was stopped when Jason stood up and raise his hands for silence. "As you all know, a squid general told us that they were allied with Herobrine, who is keeping our true leaders, Sky and Deadlox somewhere. Any suggestions on where to look?"

Instantly, everyone shouted answers at once. Someone even mentioned inside the Squid base. Jason called for silence again, then turned to Kara. "You've been investigating the case for a while now. Do you have anything on the wherabouts of Herobrine?"

Kara stood and said, "I have no idea, but the Nether is a possibility. If he wasn't there, he could be about anywhere. But I know someone who might have information on Herobrine. He used to be evil, so I think he could tell us something."

Jason nodded. "Then we'll set off immediately. Jerome, Sparklez, and AntVenom will come with me. Everyone else stay here and be on high alert. Put recruits into groups and make sure everyone is accounted for until we get back."

Everyone exited the meeting room. Jerome, Sparklez, Jason, Ant, and Kara headed for the exit. Kara was glad to resurface after that time underground. They began walking toward Kara's house.

When they arrived, all of the Sky Army generals were in awe at the large cave next to Kara's house. Kara stepped forward and said, "Apollius, I have visitors who have some questions for you."

The warriors backed up as purple eyes shone in the darkness, before a huge, black dragon stepped out of the cave. Everyone put their hands by their swords just in case Apollius tried to attack. Kara spoke. "Everyone, this is Apollius, an Ender Dragon. He's not going to hurt you."

Apollius bent down so that his head was eye level with the Sky Army generals. "What do you want to know?" he rumbled.

Jason spoke, "Do you know why heroes all over Minecraft are disappearing, including recruits and elite leaders of the Sky Army?"

The dragon's eyes widened. "People are being kidnapped?"

"Yes, by Herobrine."

"Herobrine? This is bad news. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if I can beat him. I'll still try to help though."

"So you don't know anything about this?"

The dragon shook his head.

Suddenly, a loud boom shook the ground. A dark sky formed over in the direction of the Sky Army base. Lightning flashed and the metallic clang of swords were heard in the distance.

A message came through Jason's communicator from Ssundee that chilled everyone to the bone.

"Herobrine's attacking!"

This took me a while to come up with.

Okay, I deleted The Plot because I wanted to cause more suspense for people who haven't read this yet, so sorry if you guys really liked that chapter.

Things are going to go crazy after this chapter. :D
