Yellow, Blue, Red, and Chosen follow suit as King reaches the trio of Green, Purple, and Second.
"Green! Are you...wait, Second?!"
"Hey, guys."
Red tackles him in a hug, crying his eyes out.
"Your alive!"
"Yeah, I'm alive. Me and Purple are alive."
Blue and Yellow hug him next. "Thank Alan your safe. We were so worried about you!"
"I'm fine, guys."
"We thought we lost you!" Green exclaimed.
"I know, I know. A lot of things are happening all at once. But I'm alive, and be grateful for that."
Red is still sobbing even after he says that. "Never do something like that again." He says softly.
"I won't. I promise."
He lets his four closest friends hug him tightly.
He's grateful to be alive, even if for a small time period.
Purple sighs as he watches the group of five reunite.
As if he had any friends that he could reunite with-
"PURPLE!"
So much for that statement.
King hugs him a second later.
"I thought I lost you..."
Even after King admitted to caring about him, it still shocked Purple to hear the real King actually be worried about him.
Hell, he was surprised the real King would even hug him.
Confused but grateful, Purple hugs him back. "I'm sorry..."
"Don't be. It's not your fault. But...I should be sorry...for getting you into this mess."
"King..."
"I'm so sorry. For everything. I didn't mean to hurt you..."
"You just didn't want to lose another person you cared about."
"I...I didn't. I should've told you how important you actually were to me beforehand...none of this would've happened."
"I know."
"I'm so sorry, Purple. For ever making you think I didn't care about you. I do care about you. I...I love you, kid. Your more like a son to me, and I couldn't be more thankful to have you in my life."
Purple smiles through tears. "I love you too, King."
King returns the smile, holding Purple's hand tightly. "I'm sorry for everything."
"I forgive you."
Chosen sighs, watching Second and Purple reunite with their loved ones.
It made him sad knowing he didn't have any love ones to reunite with.
"Chosen...?"
Wait...
What?
Chosen stared in shock, recognizing the voice.
The voice of his lifelong best friend.
"Dark?"
Dark smiled. "Yeah, it's me."
Chosen felt his eyes fill will tears. Letting his body run on autopilot, he runs up and hugs the man he hasn't seen in years.
"I missed you."
"Me too, Chosen. Me too."
"Listen, Dark, I'm sorry I started our fight. It wasn't intentional, I promise."
"I'm sorry for trying to kill you."
"It isn't your fault. Our Creator put that in your code. You can't fight it."
"I tried to. I tried so hard to fight it. I didn't want to hurt you. I'm so sorry, Chosen. For everything I've done to you."
"I know. I'm sorry too."
Suddenly, one of the skeletons was violently thrown into a tree near Second and the others.
"Shit! We've gotta stop him!"
"But how? We were barely able to stop him before Purple and the others showed up," King pointed out. "What is a three person difference going to make?"
"We had him weakened enough when they got here. The poison did more than I expected, but less then a decent amount of damage." Blue explained.
"What type of poison was it?" Purple asked.
"Splash Potion of Poison III. Why?"
"How many more do you have?"
"Plenty. Plus weakness and Harming III." Blue answered, having no idea where Purple was going with this.
Purple looked towards Green, who held a crossbow in his hand. "What if...you and Green work together to fire those splash potions at Herorbine, while the rest of us use what other weapons we have."
"Like our powers?" Chosen asked.
"Yep. You and Dark can fire at him from the air, while me and Yellow use the traps he set to weaken him. The rest of you can help the mobs use melee combat and weapons to fight him off."
"You think it'll work?" Blue asked.
"Well, it's more thought out than our original plan," Yellow pointed out. "A more thought out plan could have better outcomes than the original. And I was ready to make changes in case something major happened. And since we have three more people to help us, it means we can have a higher advantage when it comes to fighting."
"But without the extra block, the staff is much weaker. And Purple doesn't have an elytra anymore." Second said.
"We have fishing rods, and Purple will be with Yellow working with the traps." Green said. "He'll be fine."
"You think so?" King asked.
"I know Purple will be fine. He's Purple. He's a pretty strong and smart kid when you put it into perspective. Trust me, after what he just went through up there, I'm sure he'll be fine." Second reassured.
King sighed. "Alright."
Yellow looked towards the TNT cannon. "We'd better get into position. Herobrine might make the first move once he's done with the mobs." He grabbed Purple and ran towards the cannon.
"Hey, guys?"
Yellow and Purple looked at King.
King looked at them. "...Be careful. I can't...I can't lose Purple again."
"You won't. I promise." Yellow reassured, running off, Purple following suit.
King stared at them as they ran off, hoping that Yellow was right.
He could risk losing Purple again.
Not after what he just went through.
