Song for this chapter: Anything Could Happen by Ellie Goulding.

Ty POV

"deadlox… You have no chance against me." The same phrase in the same voice echoed through my head as I strolled next to Sky. Occasionally, I would put my hand to my head to rub out the pain. A few minutes later, it would return.

One time I rubbed my head, I groaned. Sky happened to notice and put his hand on my shoulder.

"You okay?" he asked.

"Yeah," I replied, "Headaches. Not serious."

"Okay… But Ty, I'm worried about you. You've been rubbing your head for a day and a half. If it's bad, just let me know…"

"I'm not bleeding! Come on, Sky! You should know better than this!"

I should tell you why this voice happened to be in my head. See, the voice was Herobrine.

"Why should I trust you?" I queried, facing a man with a sly grin appearing on his face.

"Because… you know that I will kill Sparklez… just like I did to your best friend…"

"Shut up you white-eyed demon! The Squids did it!"

"That's a new one…"

"Squids? I doubt it," I grumbled.

"But will you join me? I know you're part Enderman…"

"Don't remind me…"

" If you don't team with me, I could allow you to become Enderlox. And Jordan will be safe. I promise you."

I glared at him with a suspicious look, "Fine. Promise to not hurt him."

"I solemnly swear. On Notch's watch."

"Uh…"

"Don't sweat it, kid."

*A few months later.*

I barged into the fiery headquarters my mouth gaped open in shock and betrayal. "You told me he wouldn't get hurt!" I screamed. Herobrine just looked at me with a straight face. "I want out!"

"Sky was not part of our deal. I never technically hurt Jordan. Only tried to kill him. Got it all figured out… just you wait and see."

Those words haunted me for the past four months. I dared not to tell Sky because then I would lose all of his trust. I couldn't risk that, especially with my best friend.

Beatrice POV

Cliff dragged me along next to Ant, Jerome, and Mat.

"Jerome?" I heard a familiar voice call out.

"Yeah? Sierra?" Jerome responded, glancing around. Sierra and her long platinum blonde hair stumbled out of the trees and leapt into Jerome's arms. "Uh…"

"Have you found Jordan yet?" she asked, a smile on her face.

"No…"

"I have," I interrupted.

"Shut up," Cliff threatened me with her enchanted iron sword. I glanced down at the sword, only a bit nervous. I knew that I could easily take her down, but without a weapon, I was screwed.

"You have?" Sierra questioned, looking at me, but also glaring at Cliff with a suspicious look.

"Yeah…" I continued, "It was me, Jordan, Yosh, Snowy, and Mia's brother."

"Mia's brother?"

"It's a long story…"

I was cut off by Cliff, "Where's Sky?"

"Uh… I lost him," Sierra replied, "But I know where he may be. Follow me."

She led our "group" to a patch of grass. No one was in sight. Cliff fiercely let go of me and raced over to Sierra. It looked like she was going to strangle the poor girl. I glanced at Mat, who motioned for me to run. Nodding, I picked up a budder sword he slid through the trees, and rushed off towards the Sky Army HQ.

A few minutes of heavy running, I stopped to pant. I dropped the sword and placed my sweaty palms on my knees. Noticing I had nothing else other than the sword, I yearned for food and water.

"Put your hands up!" someone yelled from behind me. I could feel the tip of a sword touching my neck, and lifted my arms up. Suddenly, I quickly dropped down, picked up the sword and blocked the girl's attack.

"Nice try," I smirked.

"Pixel! Stop! It's Beatrice!" Jordan raced out of the trees and forced the girl to drop the attack. I grinned and sarcastically bowed.

"Very funny," Pixel laughed, trying not to attack me with the sword once again.

Jordan sighed a breath of relief and took a look at me, "You're okay. Cliff didn't do anything to you, right?"

"No, she didn't… Sierra showed up. I thought I should let you know that."

"Oh. Ray's here…"

Ray emerged with Yosh, Snowy, and Harry. They stood behind Jordan. I ran up and gave my brother a giant hug. He returned it with a smile.

"I'm so glad you're okay," Ray told me.

"Yeah. Me too. I honestly thought I was a wet noodle."

"Huh?"

"Dead meat… wet noodle… another name for rotten flesh… ugh… you don't get the new slang."

"No, I don't," Ray chuckled. I grinned along.

Cliff POV

"Sierra," I growled one last time, "That's your name, correct?" She nodded as I stared directly into her eyes, not once blinking. "Where is Sky?"

"I don't know! I already told you! Have you checked HQ?"

"Yep," Ant replied instantaneously.

I grasped my fist behind me, expecting to grab Beatrice's arm. Instead, I found thin air. My face turned bright red and I spun around. Jerome, Ant, and Mat were the first ones I noticed. They all wore golden swords on their belts, except for Mat. His was missing.

"Mat," I questioned, "Where's your sword?"

He stared at me, his eyes wide open. In a split second decision, he glanced down at his belt, "Oh my Notch! It's gone! Thank you for telling…"

By this point, I was up in his face, "Don't do care help my hostage again, or you'll get it…"

"How did you know…?" Mat cringed, and moved away from me, towards Jerome.

"Once I get back to Beatrice and kill her, I'll meet Yosh and Snowy too. Then they'll see. They'll all see who's the boss around this town," I thought to myself, creating an evil grin.
