Plan Herobrine initiated. I'm going to try to do a POV of a member of each team in Jordan's Plan Herobrine at least once in the next two chapters. This means that they will be pretty long.
Song for this chapter: Heart by Heart by Demi Lovato.
Mitch POV
Jordan's amulet hung around my neck. I returned to the rest of the Sky Army with him by my side. He jumped up on a tree trunk, holding his arms up high.
"Herobrine will be dead. For good." Everyone cheered. I noticed Sky emerge from his hiding spot in the trees. He watched as Jordan recruited his soldiers, "But not today. All of you must go to HQ. I only need Mitch…" He glanced over at me and winked. I tried not to act nervous. "iEcho, Jerome, Mat, Ian, Ryan, Ant, Ty, Beatrice, Ray, Yosh, and Snowy."
Chaos exploded. Most of the recruits started yelling across the large clearing about Jordan's request. Sky rushed out of the trees and leapt onto the tree trunk next to Jordan's.
"Listen to Jordan! All of you!" Sky screamed, "He knows what's best for the Sky Army, besides for me!"
"Isn't it your choice to do what you want?" a random recruits questioned.
Sky remained silent, "Yes, but I trust Jordan enough to do what he needs. And…" he turned to Jordan himself, "I'm sorry. No girl should get in the way of our friendship. Really."
"Okay," Jordan responded, still with a blank expression, "Please lead the recruits back to HQ, Sky."
Sky nodded and motioned for the majority of the recruits to follow him. They begun to travel back to HQ. Sierra spent a last moment with Jordan before she left as well.
"So…" Mat started, "What now?"
"We destroy Herobrine once and for all," Jordan replied.
"Only us? There's…" Mat counted off all of the people with us, "Thirteen. Out of five million."
"Actually it's a million at the moment," Ty stated, "We're getting new recruits…"
"It doesn't matter!" Jordan interrupted, "This is our priority. Plan Herobrine."
"Do we have a real plan?" Ant questioned.
"Yes. And I will tell you exactly what it is."
Jerome clenched his teeth. I held one hand on the necklace and another on the corner of a Netherbrick wall. We were preparing for the ultimate scheme. Jordan's plan was brilliant if done correctly. Jerome and I were placed in a duo team and assigned to keep Herobrine away from Jordan, Preston, and the others. I, however, was the main distraction, because I had the amulet. Jordan and iEcho were teamed to help Preston escape, Ant, Mat and Ian would fight off incoming mobs, and Ryan would place necessary tools, such as TNT, needed for the task. Ty, Beatrice and Ray would attempt to free Void from a "Nether prison." Snowy and Yosh were assigned to make sure that no one interrupted the plan, including Sky.
"You ready biggums?" Jerome asked, his eyes full of pure fear. He tried not to shake.
"Jerome, I swear it'll be okay. Jordan said that it'll work…"
"No he didn't."
"But… I'm sure it will… you gotta trust me…"
"Mitch… this is the first time I've ever been scared like this. More than last time we ran into the Nether. More than when Sky disappeared and I was alone. Mitch… I could watch you die," he silently cried.
"Uh… but you won't. I won't get myself killed," I reassured him.
"How do I know for sure?"
"Jerome… I won't. I promise."
"So you're going left to his personal room and I'm going for Lilia?"
I nodded, "Yep. You bet'cha." Jerome grasped tightly onto my hand and stared straight forward. I didn't mind.
"When do we go?"
"Jordan has to signal. A TNT will go off."
Suddenly we heard a loud boom erupt. Jerome and I hugged for the final time and raced off in our separate directions. I wiped a tear from my eye as I advanced to Herobrine's chamber.
Jordan POV
"Echo!" I shouted, "This way!"
"Okay!" she replied. We ran down the hallway of Herobrine's castle towards where Preston was supposed to be. Instead, we arrived at the main mob spawner to see him surrounded by zombie pig men.
"Preston!" I waved my sword. He glanced at me and sighed in relief. He still pushed off pig men with his hands.
"You guys! Help!"
I swung my diamond sword into the face of a pig man. Echo did the same.
Mat, Ian, and Ant ran into the mob spawner and instantly began to kill pig men. I motioned for Preston to follow me. He took hold of Echo's hand after a short reunion. We rushed out of the castle.
"Are you going back in there?" Preston asked us.
"I am," I responded, "iEcho is taking you to HQ."
"Jordan…"
"I have to stay. Killing Herobrine is my destiny. I know it. And I've got Mitch sacrificing himself to save you guys. I can't let him die."
"Why Mitch?"
"Long story. You need to get out of here before someone finds you."
iEcho nodded, faintly smiled, and led Preston through the trees.
I inhaled, unveiled my sword and stormed back inside the castle.
Ty POV
"Is this gonna work?" I questioned Ray and Beatrice as we arrived at the doorway to the Nether prisons. This was where the criminals of the Nether, chosen by Herobrine or Notch, were sent to receive life in a cell or a death sentence. When I had originally lived in the Nether, I was almost sent to the prisons except for the fact that Sky saved me. I owed him a lot.
"Either we nicely ask the guards to let her leave, which I doubt will work, or we bust her out. What is your choice?" Beatrice asked me with a sarcastic smile.
"What do you think? Bust her out!"
Ray smirked, "I thought you would say that."
Beatrice, Ray, and I crept through an unsecured entrance and easily found our way to Void's cell. It was the largest, because of the fact that she was Herobrine's daughter. I recognized the prisoner in the cell next to hers. The orange tail, now covered in filth, partially slid out of the metal bars.
"Cliff?" I queried.
"Ty. Why did I think I could defeat Jordan? Lilia had a much better chance in the first place. You… you… helped them! Why are you calling Lilia a traitor when you're one yourself?! Guards! Guards! Intruders!" Cliff screamed.
"We're outta here," Beatrice quickly stammered. She had a freed Void next to her. Guards hurried down the halls to see what was wrong with Cliff. Our group tricked the guards by circling cells and running out the back door. A loud boom was heard and a scream came directly afterwards. I glanced behind me to see blood rolling down the ground towards the exit, but I ignored it. I knew what had happened, although I hated to believe it.
Beatrice, Ray, Void, and I traveled back to our father's castle to help out Jordan and the others. The Herobrine children were finally reunited and on the side of good.
Jerome POV
"Lilia!" I shouted as I paced down the hallways, "Lilia! Where are you… you squid?!"
"Did you call me a squid?" a sarcastically feminine voice ringed from behind me. I spun around to find Lilia giggling, "Oh Jerome. I honestly thought that Sky would be here to kill me. I thought he hated me."
"He does," I growled.
"What about your friend? Mitch, right? Where is he?"
I pushed myself to refuse her answer, "Why does it matter? I'm right here, right now."
"Jerome… you think you can defeat me? Only Jordan, iEcho, or Sky can. No puny human can defeat a daughter of Notch."
"Notch?"
"No one tells anyone anything nowadays, do they?"
"Wait a minute… Sky is a son of Notch?" (This was that one reference from last chapter. Told you it would come back.)
"He has an amulet. He has ultimate powers. So does Jordan and iEcho. They could easily defeat me. But they had you… puny… weak bacca… to kill me?"
"Never… call me… weak."
"But… biggums… I just did," she chuckled at my threat.
I stared at her with anger flaming in my eyes.
Yosh POV
"Snowy, see anyone?" I tried to get information out of my friend. She had not responded to my questions in an hour and I started to worry, "Snowy?" I sighed and laid back on a tree. Herobrine's castle stood to the right of our location, and not in the vision of neither Snowy nor I.
"No," Snowy finally said.
"What?"
"No. I don't see anyone."
"Why are you mad at me?"
"You got Jordan mad. He was the only thing we had to a safe environment in a while. Sierra was one of our only friends, and you had to anger her boyfriend."
"Snowy…"
"Come on Yosh! You know better than that! He thought you were working with Herobrine, for Notch's sake!" she yelled into my face.
"I would never betray you guys like that."
"He doesn't know. I've spent… what feels like years with you… and I've gotten to know you so well. Don't let all of our memories go to waste."
"Snowy… I love you."
She paused, "Be careful what you say."
"Why are you so mad?"
"Sierra was one of my only friends. I told you that. Her, and Harry. Harry was nice. So was Pixel, or Avery. And the Sky Army generals. Jordan, Sky, Ty, Jerome, Mitch, iEcho, Preston, Mat, Ian… the list goes on…"
"You're mentioning this because…"
"Yosh! You can't be oblivious! Cupquake was luring you since the beginning! Isabel had something to do with the Homies, and probably Herobrine. You cared for her more than me! You said yourself that she was the only one who cared for you! Did you not think about me?!"
"I didn't realize…"
"Quit it! If we die today… I'll be glad." Snowy growled, crossed her arms, and turned away from me.
"Snowy… I love you." She didn't reply. I glanced towards the ground, but saw a shadow head towards the castle. Not wanting to interrupt Snowy any further, I ignored it.
Mat POV
I chopped the heads off of about twenty pig men before I noticed a figure run past a hallway. Turning towards the figure, I knocked Ian in the shoulder.
"Ow!" he complained, "What was that for?!"
"Someone's here. He's heading to Jordan."
"Go," Ian demanded, "Help him."
I nodded, and rushed away from Ant, Ryan, and Ian.
Hurrying down the hallways, I caught my eye on Lilia choking Jerome by the neck. She held him up on the wall. He struggled to escape from her grasp, pulling her hands from his throat.
"Jerome!" I rushed to help him. Lilia grinned, and used invisible forces to push me against the wall as well, "Who do you think you are?"
"My name is Lilia, and I'm a daughter of Notch. The evil one, you would say."
"Let us go!"
"Not until you reveal Jordan's location!"
"I don't know!"
"Then… you… die."
"Not so fast, bitch!" a sharp budder sword launched straight into Lilia's back. Her eyes opened wide and she dropped to the ground. Jerome and I fell, heavily inhaling and catching our breath, "Mat, Jerome, you okay?" I looked up to see Sky, holding his legendary budder sword.
"You're not supposed to be here. You weren't part of Jordan's plan," I told him.
"I don't care. He's in trouble. Herobrine is tough to beat, even with the amulet…"
"He doesn't have it," Jerome interrupted.
"What?"
"He gave it to Mitch, as a distraction."
"Where is he?" Jerome shrugged. Sky pulled Jerome and I to our feet, "Come on. We've gotta find Mitch."
If you have any questions, any at all, about the series and its plot, just ask me in the reviews and I'll make sure I explain it either next chapter or the following. Thanks for reading! Next chapter should hopefully be battle-time!
