Sorry for the long wait. I had a large gap of writer's block, and also pressure on writing Living on a Few Wishes. But I got it now. It's still kind of short, and I apologize for that. There are only a few chapters until the Series Finale, so get ready.

Song for this chapter: Being Alive (Glee Version).

"No!" I screamed, "This can't happen! Sky can't go into battle! He's my brother!"

The brothers ignored my complaints, continuing preparing and staring each other down.

Herobrine advanced first. He swung out his obsidian sword at Notch's head, but the elder brother wisely blocked it with his diamond sword.

"Nice try," Notch growled and pushed Herobrine away from him. Herobrine went in for a second attempt, but Notch blocked it yet again, "You have got to be kidding me. This is the best you can do?"

"You'll see, brother."

Instead of attacking Notch this time, Herobrine ran directly towards me. I dodged his sword and unveiled my enchanted diamond sword.

"Jordan," Notch told me, "It is not your destiny to kill him. It's mi…" Notch was stopped short when an obsidian blade slashed into his chest.

"Sky!" I raced over to his side and pulled the sword of his torso, "Sky! Stay in there! I'll get help!"

"No. You can't while you're in the End. I'm sorry, Sparklez," Herobrine said, "But I have to kill you."

"This isn't possible. Notch can't be dead. Sky can't be dead. This makes no sense."

"It does completely. I win. I win. You lose."

"No… No…" Taking the Nether King by surprise, I smashed his obsidian sword, which I still held, into his chest.

"I was supposed to win!" Herobrine cried, "You'll pay Jordan! You'll pay!"

Herobrine crumbled to the ground, his remains turned into ashes. Shocked, I returned to Sky's side.

"Jordan…" I heard him whisper.

"Sky!"

"I'm sorry. I wanted Mitch to live. But I didn't think this would happen."

"No! No! I won't let you die!"

"Jordan… go on without me. You can lead the Budder Army…"

"No! Budder belongs to you! The squids can take me down easily! With the power that you have, you can defeat them! And what about the others?!" I cried.

"What about them?"

"What will they think when I come back without you?"

Sky paused and held my hand tightly, "May Notch be with you…" His eyes closed and peacefully went into a sleep.

"Sky… Sky…" I rested my head against his shoulder and begun to cry. Suddenly I was transported back into a hallway of Herobrine's castle. Sky was gone. No one was in sight, but I could hear faint screams.

"Jordan! Sky!" It was Ryan, "Jordan! Sky!"

Still lying on the ground, I tried to hold back tears, but they were too strong. Eventually Ryan found me.

"Jordan!" He ran over and helped me to my feet. I jumped into his arms, "Are you okay?"

"Sky is gone! He's dead!"

"What?"

"Notch was in Sky. He had a battle with Herobrine and the Nether King killed him! He killed Sky!"

"Where is Herobrine?"

"Dead."

Ryan's face turned pale as I continued, "I murdered him with his own sword."

"I'm sorry Jordan," a female voice said from behind me. The girl had long blonde hair and greenish brown eyes. She wore a white sweatshirt with a blue shirt underneath, blue jeans, and black sneaker. She had silver bracelets around both of her arms, "I'm not dead."

"Who are you?" I questioned the girl.

"My vessel's name is Summer Blue, a long-lost general of the Sky Army, but I am Notch."

"Notch?! How are you alive?!"

"Do you really think that obsidian could kill me? Only a few things can truly kill me, and obsidian is not one of those. It could kill Herobrine, though. And that is why he will not come back."

"What about Sky?"

Notch, or as I will call Summer at this moment, smiled and snapped her fingers. Sky appeared lying on the ground. Ryan, freaked out, rushed to his side, and checked his pulse. He glanced over to me, "He's breathing."

I looked to Summer and told her, "Thank you."

She replied, "Goodbye. You now have all of the potential power and can use it to the full of your abilities. I have made sure that it works. Just don't give the amulet to anyone else next time, okay?"

"Yes. I promise."

Summer grinned. Sky's eyes fluttered open, and I helped him to his feet. When I turned back around, Summer had disappeared.

"What happened?" Sky asked me, groaning.

"What was the last thing you remember?"

"I was with Mitch, Mat, and Jerome. We were trying to help Mitch from becoming Notch's vessel. Nothing else after that."

"Good."

"What did I miss? Anything important?"

"Nope. Just gotta get you back to Sky Army HQ, that's all. I'm glad you're okay."

"Why wouldn't I be? Squids? Herobrine?" he joked.

"Herobrine's gone."

"Huh?"

"I… He's gone. That's it."

"Oh. Okay. Jordan?"

"Yes?"

"Thank you."

"For what?"

"For teaching me how to love. To learn. To teach. To go after what you believe is right. Sierra was correct. You taught everyone. You deserve your position."

"Don't forget that you're the leader."

"I love my recruits with all my heart. And you do too."

I smiled and glanced towards Ryan. He grinned, "I think we should get home."

"I agree. Thank Notch."
