Author's Note: Hey everyone! I hope you're ready for this because it's time for the Final chapter of Minecraft: Searching for the Truth, I'm glad that you waited patiently and stuck with me till the end so I thank you for that now without further ado let's get this started!
Chapter 25: The Finale
As Herobrine makes his way back to the battle field we couldn't help but sit quietly as we shudder from fear and anger. I couldn't believe that he was able to trick us into fighting his decoy, it seems from the start he already knew what we're gonna do. I continue to think on what we should do next but nothing's coming that's when Chrome said …
"Well there's no point in dwelling on what just happened." Chrome stated as he took a deep breath and sighed, "But what are we going to do, now that Herobrine has the upper hand?" Stella asked worriedly. "Haven't you all heard of the saying 'Never give up!'?" Chrome asked us, "Yes … but still." Cupa replied scared. "Chrome is right!" Xander stated as he got up, "You're not planning on defeating the Wither Dragon and Herobrine at the same time, are you?" Stella asked.
"I know you're all scared and so am I but if we just sit here terrified we won't be able to do anything, it's better to try than to wait till we get killed." Xander stated as he clenched his fist, "I agree with Xander, there's still some time left I bet we can still put a stop to this." Cupa agreed. "C'mon Stella, we can do this don't worry I'll be by your side." Chrome smooth talked Stella, "You're right! We should at least try plus it'll be a big let down to others." Stella said.
"Okay new plan, this time Cupa and I will fight Herobrine while you and the other's defeat the Wither Dragon." Xander stated, "But how do we defeat the Wither Dragon?" Stella asked anxiously. "I'm guessing by destroying the crystal on its forehead is the way to defeat it." Xander said, "So you noticed it too, I'm impressed so it seems we had the same idea." Chrome said.
After we regained our courage we ran towards the portal back to our world before heading back to Motor we carried the Kings along with us by we I mean me. While walking back towards camp we can see the Wither Dragon wrecking havoc to both our armies while Herobrine rides it enjoying the destruction. We manage to arrive at the camp grounds where Motor was eager to see us …
"What happened?!" Motor asked nervously, "Herobrine tricked us into fighting his decoy which gave him some time." Xander replied. "What are we going to do now?" Case said as he appeared out of the shadows, "For now we need to bring the Kings back home, tell their wives they're okay and that they should teleport back." Chrome said to a soldier as he ran off.
"Where are Andr and Snowy?" Stella asked, "Don't worry they're just resting in their tents you should check on them." Motor suggested. "Thanks we will, Cupa let's go!" Stella said as she went off with Cupa, "So what's the game plan? I presume you know what to do." Motor asked. "To begin with we should separate Herobrine from the Dragon for the Dragon feeds off Herobrine's energy and uses it to heal itself, once they're separated you will need to defeat the Wither Dragon while it's vulnerable, while Cupa and I will take care of Herobrine once you defeat the Dragon, go find us." Xander stated.
"But how do we defeat the Wither Dragon we all know once its life is drastically decreased projectiles won't work on it." Case announced, "That's why you need to target its weak spot." Chrome said as he looked at the Dragon. "But what is its weak spot?" Motor asked, "It's the gem on its forehead, it's what contains its vitality and strength if you manage to break it, it will surely die." Xander explained.
"I think this had a catch to it." Case said, "It does, the gem is protected by powerful spell to prevent it from breaking." Xander stated. "So how do we get past the barrier spell?" Case asked, "We'll need Grace's help and a few mages to do it plus you're portable cannon." Xander said. "I get it! Let's call the others." Motor said.
After discussing the plan Motor calls the others for a short meeting, during the meeting everyone was first unsure but after detailing everything they began to understand and agreed to do it. Cupa and I got ourselves ready while the other's headed towards the battle field …
"Hahahahahahaha! This amazing! This is refreshing! This feels so good!" Herobrine announced as he watched as the Dragon destroys everything in its way, "Having a good time Herobrine?" Xander asked him as Xander and Cupa flew up to him on Zekstorm. "It seems you're still persistent in stopping me." Herobrine said as he commanded the Dragon to blast us but Zekstorm dodges, "Hey! Don't be such an eager beaver." Xander said as they backed away.
"Running away won't save you!" Herobrine stated, "Who said anything about running?" Xander announced as a rune barrier formed around the Dragon. "What is this?!" Herobrine said in shock, "It's a little something to prevent your pet from moving." Xander said. "That's not enough I can shatter this barrier easily!" Herobrine boasted as he began to chant, "And who said about leaving you with the Dragon?" Xander asked as a strong magic shock wave knocked Herobrine off the Dragon two kilometers away. "Chrome it's up to you now." Xander muttered as they head off to the direction of Herobrine.
"Okay everyone, Herobrine is gone focus your attacks on the Dragon until it's thoroughly weakened!" Chrome stated as everyone attacked the Dragon, "Great! It looks like it's taking a lot of damage." Case stated as he throws an explosive kunai. "Don't be full of yourselves the barrier won't last forever, once the barrier expires we have to chant it again." Grace announces, "While that's happening we need to protect the mages!" Chrome stated as everyone nods in agreement.
Meanwhile … Xander and Cupa heads towards where Herobrine went and found him face smacked into a boulder, he then get's off the boulder and looks them with murderous eyes …
"You … are getting on my nerves, why don't you just give up and die!" Herobrine announces as dark aura envelopes him, "Well there's still hope left and we know that this time we can defeat you." Xander stated as Herobrine got even more furious. "This is getting really annoying!" Herobrine stated as he formed a sword out of shadows and charges at us, "Ready, Cupa?" Xander asked as he infuses his cutlasses with Blessed Water, "Of course!" Cupa stated as they charged right at him.
Herobrine goes head on with us and tries to strike us with his sword but I manage to block with mine giving Cupa the chance to strike him but he dodges quickly. We then charged at the same time towards him, I attacked first by shooting compressed water at him which he deflects with his sword Cupa then whirls up a deceiving punch and hits the ground sending him flying. I blast myself up and try to slash him multiple times but it seems he knows my plan and blocks with his sword, Cupa then shot him with an explosive blast that left a smokescreen which gave me a chance to pierce through him, causing him to back away a cough blood.
He counters as he uses our shadows to attack us (it was ironic battling our own shadows), we manage to defeat our shadows but as soon as we defeated them we took a heck ton of damage ourselves, he laughed at us to see that we're in pain. He managed to recover a little and strike us with blinding speed causing us to get beat up pretty badly but it seems it takes a lot of stamina to use it as he was breathing heavily we then took the chance while he was vulnerable. Cupa hit him from behind sending him flying towards me, giving me chance to slash him multiple times he fell down with a thud but teleports away to give him space from. We we're both heavily injured but none of us was giving in.
"He's very strong." Cupa panted, "You're right we manage to hurt him badly but so did he." Xander said. "You're pretty good, but it's time I ended this!" Herobrine shouts as he floats up and the earth begins to shake he then called out "Demonic Armour!" and black and purple spiky armour got equipped to him "You won't stand a chance against me now!"
He then sent us flying with a strong gloomy whirlwind towards some trees and then grabbed us and threw us to the ground. It's a good thing that I covered Cupa with defensive liquid to prevent her from sustaining major injuries but I can only do it to one person so instead I'm the one who gets hurt badly. We both got up and attacked him but he dodges and blast us from behind, I try to heal ourselves but Herobrine continuously beats us I look at Cupa who is already at her limit and I can't stand watching her get beaten up along with me so I enveloped her in a water orb with healing properties and put her aside so I will deal with him.
"Xander what are you doing?" Cupa asked, "I won't let you get hurt anymore, I can't stand it!" Xander said. "Don't worry about me, we have to defeat him together!" Cupa stated, "That's enough for you Cupa, rest here and leave everything to me." Xander proposed as he walks up to Herobrine. "Now that's sweet of you, too bad once you're dead she's going to be next." Herobrine stated, "Sadly I'm not the kind of person who allows guys like you win." Xander announced as he charges.
At the battle field … Chrome and the other's are dealing with the Wither Dragon and Herobrine's army at same time putting them at a very tight spot but is not being thrown back by the enemy, the Dragon keeps breaking free from its cage and attacks while it's free but is then again captured …
"Motor, how long it is until it reaches minimum health?" Chrome asked as Motor check his scanner, "Only a few more until it gets Projectile Protection." Motor stated as the Dragon breaks free again. "It seems it's on the loose again, everyone ready the barrier again for the meantime keep it away from the mages." Chrome stated, "Sir, it seems our cannons, catapults and archers aren't doing any damage." A soldier shouted. "Motor set up your cannon!" Chrome demanded, "It's already up just give it time to charge a bit." Motor stated as he places the cannon down waiting for it to charge.
"How long will it take?!" Chrome asked as the Wither Dragon shoots Wither Flames at them, "Ahhh! Just … a little more." Motor said as he grabs hold of the cannon. "Hurry up!" Case announced as the dragon prepares another attack, "Grace, now!" Chrome shouts as Grace finishes her chanting chains appeared and paralyzed the dragon. "Chrome, I'm out of magic take care of the rest." Grace muttered as she faints, "Sure I will, Motor quickly!" Chrome stated as Motor finished charging and fires a strong laser at the Wither Dragon which pierces through its gem causing it to screech loudly and to disappear into thin air.
"We … we did it!" Snowy said as she began to jump up and down, "I thought I'd get a heart attack if that didn't work." Stella sighed. "Well it's thanks to Grace's Muffling Chains which cancelled the barrier around the gem." Motor explained, "I guess I owe Grace one." Chrome stated as Stella puffed her cheeks in annoyance.
"We manage to defeat the Wither Dragon, tell our forces to focus on the army." Case announced, "But sir we already defeated the army since the Dragon took out most of them." A soldier said. "Really?! Well why don't you take care of this while we head towards where Xander is, okay?" Case said in an embarrassed tone for he didn't know that it was over. "C'mon everyone! Let's hurry Xander might need our help." Snowy announced as they ran towards Xander's direction.
As the army gets defeated and the Dragon killed, Xander continues to fight Herobrine single handedly due to Cupa being at a weakened state …
"Ahhhhh!" Xander screams as his arms begins to crack, "Had enough?" Herobrine asked. "You know my answer." Xander said as Herobrine twitches and whirls up a punch but then falls to the ground, "Wha-what happened? Why is it hard to move, don't tell me they defeated it?" Herobrine mutters as he begins to weaken harshly. "It seems they defeated, I knew could do it." Xander stated as he got up slowly while holding his left arm, "It's over Herobrine! Your Dragon is gone and most probably your army, so give it up already!" Cupa announces.
"Darn you, you'll pay for this!" Herobrine yells, "It's over … your finished." Xander said as he approaches Herobrine. "Don't think you'll win easily … without someone … dying!" Herobrine announces as he jabs Xander with his hands "Life Drain" he announces as he absorbs Xander's vitality.
"Ahhhhh, that feels better taking a Gargantians life is the best." Herobrine announces, "Cu-cupa … r-run, get the others …" Xander mutters as he breathed his last breath. "Xander … no … this can't be happening?" Cupa mutters as she runs towards Xander's body, "It seems you're next." Herobrine announces as he slashes Cupa but is then blocked by a long chain.
"Cupa! Are you alright?" Stella asked as they approach her as Herobrine backs away, "Xa-xander … he's …" Cupa mutters as tears begin to fall. "Xander, he's …" Andr mutters, "Dead?" Stella continues. "You're right! And all of you are next!" Herobrine announces as he charges, "You filthy bastard, you won't get away with this!" Chrome yells as they attacked him simultaneously.
I woke up from what felt decades of sleep and looked around to see my friends fighting Herobrine below me, I wanted to help them but I guess I'm already dead. I can't do anything but watch them get beat up, I saw Cupa crying over my dead body while the other's tried to defeat Herobrine. I felt miserable, I couldn't believe I let them down now that Herobrine's at full power and taken some of mine he can take on anyone. I wished I was better off dead, oh wait I already am. As sat their floating in mid air a light shines behind me and said …
"Do you wish to help them?" the voice said, "Yes, I do but I'm already dead!" I said. "No you're not dead, your just merely out of your body if you we're dead you wouldn't be able to be here." The voice stated, "What do you mean?" I asked. "Listen to your heart's desire and think of what's important to you." The voice said as it fades away, "What my heart desires? What's important to me?" I thought as flashbacks of previous events appeared in my mind. "What I desire … what's important to me … are my friends!" I shouted as lights shoots out of my amulet allowing me to return to my body …
"Xander, don't leave me! Stay with us!" Cupa mutters as everyone is forced back by Herobrine, "Your lives end here!" Herobrine stated as charges at them but is stopped when Xander's amulet glows. "Xander?" Cupa asked as his body floats upright, "What's happening?!" Herobrine asked as he get's blinded by the light and is forced back.
"That's enough Herobrine!" Xander stated as his body envelopes in bluish-white aura, "What are you talking about? And how are you still alive? That doesn't matter though 'cause I'll just have to kill you again!" Herobrine stated as he draws his sword and chargers at Xander but is blocked by one of his swords. "This ends now!" Xander announces as he quickly punches Herobrine which send him flying.
As Xander punches Herobrine he flies off at sonic speed and uppercuts him from behind breaking his back armour then smashes him down to the ground causing the earth and his armour to shatter into pieces. Herobrine tries to slash him multiple times but is blocked by Xander's swords, finally restraining him as he begins to chant some ancient words and at the end he says "Sacred Light! Shine upon thy impurity and seal away the evil!" runes then formed around Herobrine which made his body glow brightly as light shot out of his mouth and eyes, the light then vanished and so did Herobrine. Xander then collapsed afterwards. "I've done it, now I can rest properly …
Years have past after the war and everything has returned to normal, everything is peaceful well mostly …
"Captains of Squadron 1,2 and 3, status report." A voice said, "Sir everything's clear here!" Squadron 1 Captain reported, "Everything fine here sir!" Squadron 2 Captain reported, "There was just a fire in the jungle but everything's under control sir!" Squadron 3 Captain reported. "Good! Now let's head home, I'm starving." The voice announced, "Of course Captain Xander!" A soldier said, "For the last time, call me Xander geez all of you are so formal." Xander muttered.
"It's been years since the incident but everything's fine now, I manage to survive after I've been revived, it was hard but getting back on my feet but I got better, things have changed after the past few years and during those years we've spent our time restoring the Gargantian tribe back to its old self. We've been recruiting members for the tribe and perform the ritual before they are allowed to join us but everything's going smoothly. I'm glad everything's back to normal." I thought to myself as I finished my patrol shift, as I got off Zekstorm a particular little girl runs up to me.
"Daddy! Welcome home!" the little girl announced as she jumped up and hugged me as I fell down, "Now Carmel, What've I told you about tackling people." I scolded. "That's not fun at all!" Carmel mutters as she puffs her cheeks, "Well look whose back?" Chrome said as he and Stella passed by. "Hey there Chrome! How's Conan and Miyuki doing?" I asked, "Wild as ever …"Chrome replied. "They're just like their father, always wild in and out of the house." Stella stated.
"What?" I said as I covered Carmel's ears, "Anyway … where's Case?" I asked. "I'm right here!" Case announced as he appears out of nowhere, "It's your turn to patrol!" I said. "What? Can't I do that some other time?" Case groaned, "Just get your ass on Zekstorm and patrol, you let the munchkin to your work last time and now he's sick, take responsibility!" Chrome announced as Case groaned with a face that says "Alright you win!"
I wave good bye to both Chrome and Stella, it nice seeing them being more close and Chrome being less atrocious. During the time span, Chrome, Motor and I manage to get married to the girls we like the most while Case on the other hand is still dating Snowy and trying to be on good ground with the Snow Golem King but so far so good.
"So Carmel, how was your day?" I asked, "It was great Daddy, I played tag with Conan and Miyuki and ate some of Mommy's cookies!" Carmel announced happily. "Cookies?! Did you leave any for Daddy?" I asked hastily, "Nope! Mommy and I finished it in a gulp." Carmel said. "Not fair …" I muttered, "But don't worry Mommy made you her Special Curry! We're gonna have a blast!" Carmel announced as she got off me, "It's been a while since I've had that, oh the explosive taste … I can't wait! Carmle let's go!" I stated as I piggybacked ride her home.
When we arrived home someone a particular someone was waiting on the front porch while wearing an apron and holding a ladle in her hand …
"Took you long enough?" Cupa said as she pouts, "Well the patrol was kinda longer than expected." I said while scratching the back of my head. "Honestly, you should work on your time management." Cupa sighed, "Says the one who lazes around more than wash the dishes." I teased. "Hmph! Someone's gonna lose their dinner if you continue …" Cupa announced, "Oh c'mon! Those are cruel words from someone who's real cute." I said as I patted her head.
"Mommy's blushing! Mommy's blushing!" Carmel teased as she pointed at Cupa, "Of course I would, even until now you're head pats turn me on …" Cupa mutters in embarrassment. "Well anyways, that's enough why don't we head inside." I said as Cupa nods and Carmel runs off inside. "The Gargantians have returned, peace has been restored and everyone's living a great life. Same goes for me, I'm happy that I met Cupa and happy that I made new friends and gained a new life. Are you watching us, Dad?" I thought to myself as we began to munch down Cupa's delicious cooking.
