Ants POV:

I was in the hallway, not wanting to see what was happening. Captain Sparklez was possessed, and he couldn't break out. If he was completely human it would have been easy, but he isn't. I could hear some sort of fight, but I didn't go back into the room. Unlike Dan or Sparklez, I couldn't use any power of mine...if I have any. Gathering up courage, I looked into the room, gasping in shock. Herobrine was holding his head, black semi-transparent vines covering him. He was on the other side of the room, and he looked in pain. Dan was fighting Sparklez with a scythe. It was Dans power. His aura was rare, and it was hard to control. He could change the shape of anything made of diamond when he wore his goggles, but he isn't good with battles because it was hard to see through them. When I saw the scythe break and turn back into a broken diamond sword, I took out my last golden apple, ready to intervene. I could see Dan try to punch Sparklez, but his aura was turned off the second he touched him, immobilizing him. I ran forward, and shoved him out of the way of the sword. Next thing I know, there is a slash across my chest. Sparklez eyes gained back their usual color, and I could see a few tears.

"A-Ant?" Captain Sparklez said. The golden apple started to heal the wound some, and I turned to Captain Sparklez. His fiery soul was turning grey, and the black vines grew deeper into it with each passing moment. I was surprised he could still talk like himself when the rest of him is not under control. "Your alive?"

"Yes, now tell me, How is your soul holding up?" The sword must have gotten over the surprise of seeing me alive, and he started to slash at me. I grabbed his iron sword from his belt so I could deflect the attacks of the sword. Unlike a scythe, a sword was more sturdy.

"My soul is hurting and I am mentally tired." He said as I blocked another attack. I was a master at PVP, so I know the best way to deflect attacks without using too much durability of the sword. "I'm sorry that I became possessed." I chuckled a little, hitting the black blade hard enough to jerk Sparklez arm back painfully. I didn't break it, but it rendered the arm useless for at least a few minutes.

"No need for apologies. I know it must be hard to break free being part Husk and all." I heard a gasp from the group behind me, and Sky spoke up.

"How the fudge does that even work?!" I turned to Sky, a smile of amusement on my face.

"No idea. But it gave Sparklez here the ability to see souls." I could feel something behind me, and ducked in time to not be beheaded. Dang, I thought it would last longer.

"Well any ideas on how to fix this Ant?" Ssundee asked, and I shook my head. I didn't know how to fix this, I am good at PVP, not these things. I blocked another blow from the sword. It was becoming more calculated and it was getting harder to not get hit.

"Well, this blade is starting to learn my fighting style." I say as I jump back away from a rather strong swing. I landed on my foot wrong, and almost fell. I was hit with the blunt end of the sword in my chest. I could start to feel the pain from the nearly healed wound on my chest. That wasn't good, the golden apple had worn off. I tried to move my arm to block an attack, but pain ripped through it. I dodged instead, and noticed how much blood I was loosing. It may be close to healed, but it still bled. My vision was getting blurry and my legs gave out.

"Ant, run." Captain Sparklez said, but I couldn't. He swung at me, closing his eyes. An idea came to my head and I grabbed his wrist, stopping the blade.

"I have an idea Sparklez." I stated. His arm was trying to break free from my grasp, but I held it in place with a death grip. "Kill me."

Herobrines POV:

I clutched my head, trying to get rid of the pain that seared through it. I don't know why using dark magic didn't work. I looked slightly to where everyone was, seeing Ant holding Captain Sparklez arm in place so he couldn't slash at him. Dan was staring at them, not moving. His aura flickered every few seconds, but I guess he was immobilized. How odd, I had my mind broken while he only got his aura deactivated. I looked back to Ant, ignoring my headache when he said something.

"Kill me." Sparklez looked surprised and confused. I could see his soul become less fiery.

"What...Are you crazy?" He scolded. "How would that work?" Ant smiled weakly, his arm looked like it was going to give out.

"Herobrines mind was hurt because he didn't want to kill or hurt you. Dan can't move because he wanted to fight but not kill. That sword will lose its power against you if you have the intention to kill." Oh, that makes sense. But, I could sense that there was no respawn in this area, this was a horrible plan. I stood up silently, my vision lurching because of my hurting head. Team Crafted tried to help, but Seto put up a barrier around them, he knew this was between Captain Sparklez and Ant.

"I-I can't kill you. There has to be another way..." His eyes started to lose its color again, which wasn't good. I had an idea of my own, but I was going to regret it later. I have to want to kill something when I grab the sword. I started to walk to where they were, the shadow growing around me. I was going to let it take control for a short period, but I have to have the sword before hand.

"Now thats just mean, using your power to save a friend instead of ending them." I ignored the voice and got ready to grab the sword.

"I don't know any other way Sparklez." His grip was slipping, and so was my control over the curse in me. I couldn't keep it from taking over slower, so I had to move now. I ran forward, grabbing the sword from out of Ants hand. My vision went dark, and I was surrounded by grey fog. I couldn't tell what I was doing. My head was hurting worse, and my soul felt as though it was on fire. I could hear a distant laughing, and I started to feel tired. I saw a glowing golden orb in front of me, and I somehow snapped out of it. I was back in my warped castle. I looked around, seeing no one near me. I looked toward the ground, seeing the necklace brother gave me glowing. It was floating a little in front of me. It broke the darkness some how. It then shattered, its power gone. I saw peices of the sword on the ground, and I looked over to where the others were. They all had a look of horror on their face. Dan was carrying a unconcious Captain Sparklez, shaking and taking multiple steps back when he noticed I looked at them. Ant was being healed from Ssundee, who wouldn't even look in my direction. I growled to myself.

"What did you do?" I asked silently at the curse, hearing it chuckle.

"I didn't do anything. The sword cancelled out my power and broke your mind again. You ripped the sword from Sparky and started to smash it while laughing like a crazy person. It was fun to watch until that necklace Notch gave you did something." I facepalmed, no wonder they looked scared. I walked near them, Dan hiding in the back of the group.

"Ar-Are you okay?" Crainer asked, and I nodded. I felt like I didn't want to talk, so I just stood in silence.

"You n-nearly killed Sparklez. Do you know how dangerous that was?" Ant said from where he was laying on the ground. He was right, tearing a possession item away from the person who was possessed is highly risky. It could tear the soul to peices, and hopefully, Captain Sparklez was okay. I was going to answer him, until a group of squids appeared. One slithered over to my obsidian sword, which was laying forgotten on the floor.

"You don't want to do that." I said wearily. I was tired and I wished that I could sleep.

"And why not?" The squid gurgled. "We destroyed all the other portals that are close to this castle. We already tried to kill you off with a possessed sword, but that failed. Without your stupid sword, though, you wont be able to get back to the Overworld for a while." I had to laugh, squids were so stupid.

"Okay, use it. I don't care." I turned to the group when the creatures were trying to figure it out. "This is why only those related to me can use that sword." An explosion occured a few seconds later, and the squids were burned to a crisp. I walked over the squid bodies and picked up my sword, teleporting it away. The walls then started to waver and change shape. The room turned into a library, and It became the usual tempurature for being in the Nether. Sub started to wave his hands around crazily, obviously happy.

"Yes! I'm not mute now!"

As Crainer started to ask him why he couldn't talk before, I walked over to a bookshelf. It was nostalgic, I haven't actually been inside the library for nearly seven hundred years. I heard some coughing, and turned to where Dan had set Captain Sparklez. He was clutching his chest, and I noticed his arm was covered in multiple cuts. I must have hurt him badly tearing away that possession object.

"Oh gosh darn it...that hurts." He growled underneath his breath. He then looked at me, and smiled. I thought he would want me dead.

"Did I break you by ripping away the possession?" I asked, gaining a death glare from Dan. Captain Sparklez laughed, standing up shakily.

"No, I'm fine. You knew how to make it so I didn't have to kill any more people. Thank you, no one else ended up like Caveman Films..." I sighed.

"I was going on a quess. I could have killed you again, but with no respawn." I looked at the ground, I was feeling even more tired, but I didn't know why. Jerome suddenly spoke up.

"Wait, why did the squids want us stuck here?" My eyes turned to human as I looked at Sky, who was in thought.

"Well..." He then gasped in shock. "They might know where the next trial is. They could attack the city!" He basically yelled the last part. He then turned to me. "Are you able to use your sword here?" I nodded.

"I can, but...shouldn't we get Caveman Films first? His family would want a proper burial for him, and if we don't get him, a Zombie Pigman will most likely eat his corpse." Dan gave me an odd look.

"Aren't you susposed to be an evil and murderous deamon?" I chuckled ignoring his question. Sky nodded and I led them out of the maze-like library. My castle was now well lit, and we were in a large hallway. Unfortunately for me, I forgot that there were many holes on the floor, and I fell through one.

"Hero!?" Captain Sparklez called down the second I fell into the lava. Its been awhile since I accidenlty fell into lava, and it was fun to do it. It was peaceful floating underneath the surface. I decided to float out of it when they started to panic.

"Hey, don't worry, lava doesn't hurt me." I landed back into the hallway, not noticing that one of my arms had caught on fire. I wasn't completely fireproof, I can't get hurt, but I can still catch fire rarely.

"Your arm...is on fire." Ssundee stated, and I looked at the flames. I willed it to go out, and it did. I looked at Ssundee, and decided to give Dan, Captain Sparklez, and Ant another scare.

"Yeah little brother, I can still catch fire. We need to be careful though so you don't fall through the holes. I have tried to patch them up in the past, but the same blocks I placed fall not even a day later." A gasp came from the three of them, and I couldn't hold back a laugh. Ssundee even decided to join in.

"Well if I fall through, its your job as a big brother to catch me." He said in a mocking tone, stepping near the edge of one hole. They looked between the two of us, shocked looks on their faces. Sky had also caught on, and started laughing.

"How are you related!?" Dan finally yelled.

"The same witch was our mother. Big brother and I were born human. Ssundee was born part witch, and Derp is also human...I think its safe to say it is a one fourth chance to be part witch." Ant looked at me oddly.

"Whos your big brother?" I was about to answer until I heard the large obsidian door on the other side swing open. As if on cue, big brother was standing in the doorway. He was carrying Caveman Films, and he looked scared.

"Herobrine!" He ran over, expertly dodging the holes, surprised that I was in the Nether. "H-How did you guys get here? I turned off the portals." Captain Sparklez had looked horrified to see the wound in Caveman Films chest, so I put my jacket over it again.

"I have an obsidian sword that can cut through the fabric of space, making a temporary portal into the Nether or Overworld." I say boredly. He gave me an odd look, and I remembered something. I grabbed the broken necklace from my pocket and showed him.

"Captain Sparklez was possessed by a sword that the squids made him grab I believe." He nodded so I continued. "He was forced to kill Caveman Films. Mitch saved Ant and we got separated looking for Dan and Sparklez. I tried to use dark magic at first to take the sword from him, but my mind broke. I don't know what happened next, other than the fact that Dan couldn't move and Ant was holding back the sword, trying to tell Sparklez how to break the possession. What he said could have meant his death, so I tried to grab the sword again. My mind broke even worse and I think I laughed crazily as I ripped the sword from him and shattered it on the ground. Then for some reason, the necklace you gave me started to glow and snapped me out of it." He looked at the necklace, then at me. I had a feeling he was going to act like a mother hen again.

"I can't explain what the necklace did, but do you feel okay? You look paler than usual." I only shrugged.

"I am tired, but earlier I felt sick." I said, but I instantly felt nausous. "Nevermind, I feel sick now."

"When did you start feeling sick?" He asked, and I looked at the ground.

"I opened a portal with my sword and had it open for nearly fifteen minutes...why?" Big brother facepalmed.

"Do you have any idea how much magic that would have tooken? I think you didn't notice because of the things that happened, but now its catching up with you. We need to get you back to the Overworld so you can rest." I shook my head, being stubborn again.

"The squids, they're planning on attacking Craft City. I cannot rest, we need to get back there while they still think we're fighting Sparklez." He sighed, looking at me with worry.

"Do not go overboard if we have to fight the squids. Let me use your obsidian sword so you don't get more sick." I summoned it and handed the sword to him. He opened a portal, and we went through, appearing in his castle overlooking Craft City.

Hiya, I had a few problems with the internet, so I couldn't upload anything for a little bit. I hope you liked this chapter, and next one should be longer. Have a grand day, and if you can guess what happened with the necklace, you get cookies (::) (::) (::) (::) Sayonara
