Deadloxs POV:
Once the room shifted again after Hero left, we started to look for the two of them. It was silent, which was unusual for most of us. I could see the worry on Skys face, and it didn't suit him. He was loud and full of laughter, not quiet and serious. I sighed slightly, wondering if something was wrong, when Crainer broke the silence.
"I didn't know you had aura Ssundee." He said, and Ssundee looked away from him, trying to hide a frown.
"Yeah..." That was unusual for Ssundee. I wanted to tell Crainer that Ssundee also had magic, but I chose not to from his expression.
"Are you okay bro?" Ssundee suddenly stopped walking, and we stopped too. He was shaking slightly, and I wondered if he had another vision or if what happened earlier still effected him.
"Crainer..." He was nearly whispering.
"What?"
"Would...you believe me if I said I wasn't completely...human." He looked as though he didn't want to tell Crainer, who stood in shock for a moment.
"What!? Why are you acting all sad, its nothing to be sad abou-" Ssundee cut him off. His voice low and full of sadness.
"I'm part witch Crainer." He deadpanned. Crainer stood silently, a shocked and sad look crossing his face. I was thouroughly confused.
"Why is this a bad thing?" Asked Husky, not noticing the tension between them. Finally Ssundee spoke.
"Witches killed his family when they were on a trip." Now I got it. Crainer must have some sort of hatred against witches, and that is why Ssundee never told him. "I'm sorry Crainer, if you hate me for it, I understand. There was multiple seconds of silence until Crainer spoke.
"Ssundee look at me..." I was worried, he wasn't talking like normal. His voice was low and dark. Ssundee looked at Crainer, and I could see some tears from under his sunglasses. "You really think...why would I hate you for being part witch?! Your my best friend, I don't even care if you become a zombie and try to eat me, what you are doesn't change how I think. I should have put the peices together long ago. I should have stopped you from worrying that I would hate you...I would never do that." Ssundee shakily smiled and Crainer hugged him.
"Aww, this is adorable." Mitch stated, and Ssundee flipped him off.
"Hey, thats what I do." I fake whined. And it took awhile to stop laughing and start walking again. I started to feel tired as we walked.
-flashback-
I sat, looking at the blank sky of the mother was losing her mind. I haven't witnessed her turn into an egg, and it seems as though her memory resets each time she is killed. Maybe it was age making her forget about father or maybe it was the pure Ender magic that ran through her now. I felt sorry for the armored humans that came through, they died nearly instantly, even with a potion. This time, though, something was off. The portal that takes the bodies back to the overworld so they could respawn was remaining open longer than usual. I looked over to mother, who was eating a body, thats what was happening.
"Mother, I don't know why you think humans are tasty, but we need to send it back now." I said in Ender language as I flew near her. Sure, we know enlish, but mother had started to forget words lately.
"I don't think that is nessicary." She stated, taking a big bite from the stomache of that poor person.
"But, if he doesn't go through now, he won't respawn. What if he has family?" I tried to convince her, but she then roared, making my ears literrally bleed.
"I do not care about humans, and neither should you, runt!" She kept yelling things that didn't make sense, I retreated to a small hole in the obsidian structures. I was organic, not made of magic like her. It hurt to hear loud things. I wrapped my wings around me, my tail flicking angrily. She used to be so caring, but lately, she acted as though I wasn't even related to her. The bleeding took a while to stop, but it hurt a ton.
"Ender Prince." A red-eyed Enderman appeared inside the hole. I ignored it, and it tried to speak in english instead. "E...dr...pr..." I sighed, they weren't made to speak in english, but they still try.
"What do you want?" I growled lowly. I didn't want to be bothered whenever mother gets like this.
"Your mother is looking for you. She is wondering why a human didn't respawn." I growled, my red eyes turning purple.
"She did it!" I yelled, scaring the Enderman. "She wanted to eat it, and she didn't even listen to me. I...I hate being part Enderdragon!" I quickly unfolded my wings, and started to fly towards the still open portal. There was still time. The body was in too many peices to trow it in, so I decided to carry it. I always wanted to leave anyways. As I flew through into the overworld, his body disapeared to respawn. I was glad I was able to escape and save that person.
-end of flashback-
I woke up quickly, feeling some sort of magic surge through the area. It was almost like teleportation. I stood up silently, feeling odd. I was dreaming about when I ran away, maybe that teleportation made us fall asleep. I turned to the group, seeing them all asleep. Skys sunglasses were on crooked, and one eye was uncovered. I reached down to fix it, but his eyes snapped open, making me fall back with a surprised gasp. He quickly fixed his glasses, and I tried not to panic. Maybe I was seeing things, but I swear they were a bright golden. They were nearly glowing some and shimmered brighter than any butter I have seen. I pretended to not notice.
"Heh, I thought you were dead for a second." I said in a joking matter, but he remained serious.
"Were you trying to steal my sunglasses?" He asked, and I shook my head.
"They were crooked and I respect your wishes for your eyes to not be seen. I was going to fix them before you woke up like I did when you broke your back." He sighed in defeat, covering his face with one hand.
"Y-You didn't see them, did you?" He sounded scared slightly, and I couldn't figure out wether to lie or not.
"Is it bad if I've seen your eyes." He nodded, and I forced a laugh. He must really be self concious about them. I stood up, a smile on my face. "Why worry so much? You moved so fast, I couldn't see anything." The way I casually talked seemed to calm him down, and I started to wake the others.
A few minutes later, we were all walking again. Jerome was clinging to Mitch, his face hidden as he silently cried. Turns out, all of us dreamt of a bad part of our past, and I could only guess what Jerome saw. Mitch didn't tell us anything either, only that it was the same as Jerome, but not as scary. We walked in silence, until there was a scream. We all heard it, and I could hear a struggle, along with Herobrine coughing down the hall. We started to run, until we reached a crossroad, where we nearly ran into Hero and Sub.
"Did you hear that scream?" Hero asked, and I pointed down the third hallway.
"This way." We reached a well lit room. Dan was on the ground, and there was someone standing in front of him. He had a sword in his right hand. Black vines seemed to connect his arm to the weapon. Thre was a blue fiery sphere floating in front of him, but there was black vines also within the orb. He looked up, and we gasped in shock. It was Captian Sparklez. His glasses were broken and his eyes had no life in them. He stepped over Dan, who I hope isn't dead, and started to walk over to us. The vines on his arm started to grow more, cutting into his skin. Herobrine sounded horrified.
"H-His soul...It's possesed."
Herobrines POV:
I couldn't believe what I was seeing. You usually needed a special ability to see it, but we could see Captain Sparklez soul. Ant, who has been eerily silent, gasped in shock and ran back into the hallway so he couldn't see it.
"H-His soul...It's possesed." I said horrified. I wasn't possesed, ony cursed. Possesion acted like a virus. It starts small, but soon, it takes the person over completely. It eats their soul from the inside out until they are nothing but a husk or stray of their old selves. By the looks of this, the sword was controlling him. The vines made it so he couldn't drop it, and only a shadow could touch him without being possesed themself.
"You know, I can be used right?" I shook my head, ignoring the bored sounding curse. Captain Sparklez picked up DanTDM from the gound, holding the sword to his neck. I could see Dan was only knocked out.
"Captian Sparklez, I know your still in there. Put Dan down before you hurt him." Seto said, and he looked like he wanted to. His eyes gained back some life for a second, but it sooned turned back to blank when the vines cut into his skin more. He started to talk under his breath, inching the sword closer to Dans neck.
"Kill...Don't kill...kill...my friend." He was still there, but he was losing himself. Maybe I need to use the dark ancient power to help him, but I didn't want to lose control.
"Losing control is fun, and you know it, Herobrine." I growled to myself, and took a step forward. I tapped into the dark power, and shadows started to cirle me.
"Hero, what are you doing?" Sky asked, nearly yelling, and I turned to them.
"The only way to get rid of a shadow, is to use a shadow. Dark Ancients were made of that and Darkness. I can use it, but if I lose control," I threw my obsidian sword at Ssundee, who caught it. "Take it, so I won't leave the Nether. It'll listen to our blood, and hopefully, I don't lose control.
Captain Sparklez dropped Dan, and we started to circle each other. I tried to keep it at a minimum, but the dark magic wanted to take over. Sparklez talked quietly, and I don't think he noticed that Deadlox had good hearing.
"You are the true weilder for this blade. No ones heart synced with it, which mean they don't need a heart to use it." This may be easier than normal. If they remove the sword themselves, I wont cause them pain.
"Sure, I'll take the sword." I said, and Captain Sparklez chuckled, his eyes becoming grey.
"Then kill this mortal." Nope, I had to take it by force. I made the shadow magic into claws and I ran at him. He dodged to the left, so I kicked him in the head. It made him fall with a thud, but I didn't care. I grabbed hold of the sword, and started to pull on it with the dark magic. I felt a snap in my head, and I dropped the sword.
I could see it again. I could see myself killing my friends, seeing Skys face covered in blood. I sunk to the floor, probably having a mental breakdown.
Dans POV:
I groggily sat up, seeing something I thought I would never see in front of me. The possesed Captain Sparklez was fighting Herobrine. I could guess when we first woke up here that this was his castle, but I couldn't get any murderous feeling from Herobrine. Maybe he knew Sparklez was being controlled from a sword. Herobrine knocked him to the floor, and tried to yank the black sword from his hand with shadowy claws. He instantly froze, black vines already everywhere on him. He took multiple steps back before crying out, and falling to his knees. His eyes were human, and he stared at nothing, tears streaming down his face. I didn't like this. I grabbed my diamond sword, wishing I listened to Dr. Trayaurus about enchanting it. My possesed friend started to walk close to Herobrine, and I covered my eyes with my goggles. It allowed me to focus enough to start my diamond blue aura. The smell of blueberries also appeared, and it got his attention. I focused my aura around my blade, making the handle longer and the blade more curved so it transformed into a scythe.
He swung his sword at me, and I barely dodged. My goggles helped me focus my aura, but I couldn't really see that well through them during a battle. Unfortunately, his sword cut through my scythe in a matter of minutes, making it revert back to a broken diamond sword. I took multiple steps back from the next attack, and a blue gauntlet formed around my right hand. I tried to punch him, but the second I made contact, my aura fizzled out with a bang, making me go back quite a bit. I couldn't move, my aura was immobilized. Captian Sparklez ran towards me, ready to kill me, but someone pushed me out of the way. Blood splattered on the ground, and it wasn't mine. Standing there, with a large wound across his chest, was AntVenom.
Hi, I apologize for taking so long to put up this chapter. My laptop broke. I was just about to defeat the Enderdragon on my laptop, when the screen cracks and breaks. I don't know how, but now it is impossible to see anything in the upper left corner. Is the ship between Crainer and Ssundee called Crundee, like in their Crundee Craft series? If so, than I wonder if they noticed that too. This chapter is the big twist. The person taking the hearts was none other than a possessed Captain Sparklez. I kept Dan alive, but now for a second time, should Ant die? If you can guess why Hero was affected by the sword, you get some Cookies! (::) (::)(::) (::) Sayonara
