//------------------------------// // A New Builder vs The Shadow King // Story: Displaced Heroes, Villains And Everything In Between // by Deltorix //------------------------------// “Hey Stanley, you ready to go?” Stanley looked at his friend Hank when he asked that question, Hank was wearing a light blue shirt with dark blue pants, and he had contacts that made his eyes all white, Stanley knew Hank was dressed up as Herobrine. Stanley nods his head. “Yeah, I just want to put my stuff in my backpack before we go.” He said while putting a few books and his laptop into his backpack. “Adds to the look of me carrying stuff for you guys, speaking of, where is Racheal?” her costume consists of a black sweater with purple symbols and black metal shoulder pauldrons with the same symbols as her jacket, equally black shorts and her hair was dyed bright purple with the tips being black and she had black face paint on the right side of her face with a contact that made her right eye bright purple with a black face mask. She had a large black blade that she had on her shoulder, too big for it to be carried on her back otherwise risk damaging it when it scrapes across the ground when she walks. “Ah alright.” Stanley said while putting his square chest-looking backpack on. “Well, you two ready for mine-con?” He asked them with a smile. “Of course we are dude.” Hank replied, a wide grin on his face, “I’m always ready for Mine-Con!” Racheal just rolled her eyes, “Save your excitement for the Con Hank.” she said, “Hey don't be like that, you know it took us forever to save up for this.” Stanley said as he picked up his pass and put it on. “Now let's get going, I want to try and get some good loot from this dungeon.” He laughs at his joke as they leave their hotel room.  “Please don’t tell me you waited to use that joke.” Racheal said, facepalming, but Stanley could see the faint smile on her face, Stanley chuckles and shrugs. “Maybe I did, maybe I didn't, who knows, now let's go! I want to see if they have the new update available to try.”  The group of friends left the hotel and went to the Mine-Con, as they walked through a crowd of people one guy accidentally stepped on Stanley's foot. “Oh, sorry man this place is so darn crowded.” The man said. “No problem, accidents happen, just be more careful from now on.” Stanley said with a smile and wave. The group goes further into the convention hall before they each see different things that they want to explore. “Oh cool, they have the new update available to try!” Stanley rushes over to wait in line while his friends head off to the stalls to buy stuff.  Racheal and Hank however don’t immediately follow, instead, they go over to some of the other stalls while Stanley is looking at stuff, unaware of their fates when they approached one stall in particular. After an hour of waiting and the line not moving Stanley gets annoyed and decides to go find his friends. He walks through the stalls full of things seeing some cool art and merch but is focused on finding his friends. That is until he sees a stall with someone dressed as a Minecraft villager. “Oh that is so cool.” he walks up to it and looks everything over before spotting a command block. “Hey how much for the command block?” he asked, pointing at it.  The Villager just hummed and pointed at a sign, causing him to look and see that it said $100. “Only a hundred sounds good to me.” Stanley said, then he got his wallet out and paid for the block. But once he picked it up something strange started to happen.  The Command suddenly starts to light up the moment Stanley picked it up, he then heard something like popping, looking around he watches as everything around him starts to become blocky, getting frightened he tried to let go of the Command block only to freeze up seeing an End Portal appearing below him, and it was opened. He looked at the Villager and the only sound the Villager made was a hum, then Stanley fell into the portal. “I want a refund!” He yelled as the portal closed. The villager hums and puts another command block on his stall. Standley POV The first thing I noticed as I was waking up was the uncomfortable feeling of laying on stone, opening my eyes, only for everything to be just colorful blurs, blinking a few times, I see an End Portal just disappearing. “Ugh what.. what happened?” I sit up and look around finding myself at the entrance to a cave. I then notice cart tracks on the ground meaning this is a mine of some kind. “What the hell? Is this some kind of fucked up live-action Minecraft experience?” I then heard something coming towards me from the mine, quickly hiding behind a large rock I waited for whatever it was that was coming out of the mine. I am shocked when I see anthropomorphic horse-like people. They are pushing carts full of gems and are in chains. It is then that I notice the command block that started all this is still out on the track. “Shit.” One of the horses stopped and looked around after I said that. I gulp and look around before finding a rock and throw it down the cave to make a noise away from me. When they look away I move out and grab the block before getting back into my hiding spot.  The horse that was looking around shrugged once they heard the rock make a noise in the cave, and continued to push the cart full of gems. I waited till they were gone before holding my head. “What the hell? What were those things? And where the hell am I?”  I look around before I step out of the cave and see a snowy landscape, except for what looks like a domed city in the distance. “I’m not in Kansas anymore.”  I then heard a groan behind me and turned in the direction of the groan which revealed it was coming from the mine. I back away slowly while reaching into my backpack to find my laptop to throw at whatever it is when I feel something long and stiff. I pull it out and see a sword made of metal, my eyes widen when I see it. “What the hell?”  I then look forward and see three green anthro horses coming out but then I smell them and cover my nose. “God damn they reek!” Then it clicked, they are zombies. ‘How is that possible!? Zombies aren't real!’ One of the horses growled as it lunged at me, I jumped back to avoid its claws, then watched as it fell to the ground after it missed me. I gulp and look at the sword in my hand before I stab it in the head. “Please work!” I pull the sword out and stab it again a few times before I am clawed from the side and grunt backing up.  “Huh?” I look at the corners of my vision seeing hearts, a hotbar, and a hunger bar. “It's just like...Minecraft?” I was snapped out of my confused state when the last two zombie horses growled at me, one of them then charged at me, I jumped to the left and cut one of them with the sword before lifting the sword and stabbing the last one. “Holy crap I just killed three zombies.” “Hey, you!” I turned and saw armored horses, each one holding a spear, “Who are you and what are you doing here?!”  “Crap, um I am lost where am I?” I ask them in hopes they don't attack but grip my sword tighter. I look down at my sword and see information about the sword. I find out that it's a basic iron sword and its durability is at 88%. ‘What in the world? How can I do that?’ The armored horses looked at each other before aiming their spears at me, “You’re coming with us spy.” one of them said, “Nope!” I start running as fast as I can. I even drop the iron sword. “Nope, nope, nope!”  I hear the horses shout and turn my head, running even faster after seeing them start to chase me. I reach into my backpack while running. “If my theory is right then I should be able to pull out a..” I pull out a dark green orb. “Ender pearl, yes!” I quickly throw it as far as I can towards the city I can see. That’s when I tripped and fell to the ground, the guards soon surrounded me, aiming their spears at me, “Now you’re coming with us and you aren’t gonna run. Is that clear?” a horse said,   I smile nervously and wave at them. “Um sorry, but no I didn't do anything wrong, and also, go fuck yourselves.” That's when I teleport to where the pearl landed. “Oh thank god it worked.”  I quickly got up and hid in an alley after seeing a few of the armored horses walking around, thankfully none of them saw me. I then looked at my backpack and opened it and began to look through it, thinking to myself. ‘Ok, I seem to have the powers of Minecraft's Steve, but how? And why is my backpack different?’  I pull out a full stack of Ender pearls that somehow don't overspill in my hand and seem like just one. “Better keep some of these on me.” I then put them in my pocket when a large screen takes up most of my vision and I see it is my inventory. “Ok, what?” I drop the pearls in my pocket and they appear in my inventory. “Ok, so if I put something in my pockets it goes into my inventory, but what about the hotbar?”  I pull out a wooden sword and hold it in my hand while focusing on a different slot on my hotbar and the sword disappears but I can still feel it. “Freaky as hell.”  I continued to pull out a few things, like a shield and a potion of invisibility, then I placed them into my hotbar, I nod and sigh. “At least I have figured out how some of this works.” I said then looked out of the ally and my eyes widened when I saw hundreds of those horse people in chains. “I just thought the ones I saw before were some kind of prisoners but this...this is slavery.”  I watched as the horse people were forced to march, no doubt to go work somewhere, armored horses standing next to them, I clenched my fists in anger. I pull out an iron sword and equip the shield. “This is one thing I can't stand for.” I wait for the right moment before I run out and shield bash one of the guards before I use the sword to hit the other one’s helmet.  Some of the chained horse people looked at me in surprise while the guards I had attacked fell to the ground in pain, the rest of the guards glared at me and charged, some shouting for others to aid them. “Fuck!” I shout as I block their spears with my shield.  I use my sword to cut their spears before I cut their legs to make them unable to fight. “Just stay down!”  But no matter what I do, they just kept attacking, soon I was basically dealing with a whole army, my shield was nearly broken from the number of attacks I had to block and my sword wasn’t any better either. I look around panicked before I throw my sword at one of them and block one more spear before it breaks apart. “No! My shield.” I look around not sure what to do. I can tell the guards were smiling, then I felt a sudden pain in the back of my head and fell to the ground, my vision blurring, and soon, I was knocked out. I wake up slowly and rub my head before I look around seeing I am in a holding cell. “Aw crap, what do I do now?”  “Glad to see you’re awake.” I heard someone say,  “Huh?” I look behind me and see another horse person. This person is obviously female, she is mostly pale pink, with a bright pink mane that runs blue at the curls, wearing a light blue dress. “Who and what are you?” The female horse person raises an eyebrow at me, “I am a unicorn, have you been living away from civilization for so long you forget there were other tribes of ponies?” she said, “Ponies? Is that what you are? I have never seen anyone like you before.” I said as I stand up only to feel a chain on my leg.  The unicorn looks at me confused, “You’re not a pony….are you?” she asked me, I shake my head and pull on the chain. “No, I am not. I am hu…” I think about it and decide to embrace my new self. “I am a Minecraftion.” I tell her before frowning at the strong chain.  “I see, sorry if I mistook you for a pony mister…” she paused. “My name is Stanley, my friends call me Stan.” I get an idea and hold my hand out and will the diamond sword in my hotbar to appear in my hand. “What is going on here? Why is everyone in chains?”  “That would be Sombra’s doing.” The unicorn replied, “He used evil magic to mind control my guards and threw me in here, he had once told me how he hid the Crystal Heart, a beacon of hope and love, and hid it somewhere. Then he enslaved everypony here in the Crystal Empire.”  I frown and use the sword to cut the chain. “That is evil, if you help me get my stuff back I will help you get your kingdom back.” I tell her and look over at her. She nodded her head, “You don’t even need to ask me if it means saving my little ponies.” she said,  “Alright, do you have any ideas where my stuff could be?” I ask before I cut the chains holding her.  “Thanks, as for your stuff, it would be most likely getting checked out by the guards just down the hall.” the unicorn said, “Oh I haven’t introduced myself, I am Princess Amore.” she held her hand out, I nod and shake her hand before I put my hand into my pocket and pull out ender pearls. “Take one, put your hand through the bars and throw it.” I told her before doing so with mine and popped up outside the cell against the wall.   She nodded her head and did what I did, teleporting out of the cell and reappearing next to me, “Thank you, I would have teleported myself but my magic is being blocked thanks to this blasted thing.” Amore points at the dark ring around her horn, I raise an eyebrow. “What's stopping you from just pulling it off?” I asked her while checking my inventory to see what I have on me. I see the Netherite Armor I added, a couple of potions of invisibility, a bow, and some enchanted arrows. So I take the time to equip the armor, and it appears on me within seconds.  “Wow, this feels so light.” I mutter to myself.  “You’ll have to tell me how you did that when this is over, as for why I can’t take the ring off is because it’s enchanted that only the one who put it on me can take it off.” Amore said. “That is a bad design, what happens if the one who put it on you is killed?” I ask her as I put the ender pearls in my hotbar. “Let’s get my stuff back, oh here.” I reach into my pocket and pull out a miniature bow that expands into a full-sized one and hand it to her before I give her basic arrows. “Thank you.” Amore said. I look at my sword seeing the durability is only at 57%. “Damn, I need my backpack soon.” I look down the hallway. “This way right?” I ask her, and at her nod, we start going down the hall. Pretty soon, we stopped at an intersection, two paths going left and right, “Left.” Amore said to me, I nod and move down the left path before I see a guard station. “There it is, please don't kill them if you can help it.” I nod and point at her bow and arrow. “Then aim at their legs, I can get their attention but you have to take them out.”  “Alright.” she replied, “Just make you tell me when you are going to get their attention.”  “Right about now.” I told her before I ran over and cut the rope that leads to a large bell. “Hey uglys that is my backpack, give it back!”  The guards looked at me and immediately started to charge me, only for well-aimed arrows to hit their legs, making them fall to the ground in pain. I look over at Amore and nod before I walk over to the guards and rip the weapons from their hands and then I walk to my backpack.  I smile and reach in and pull out three shields and a Netherite sword. “There, now I am ready.” I put my backpack on and looked at Amore. “Alright, do you need armor?”  “It would be much appreciated, yes.” Amore replied,  I pull out more Netherite armor for her. “Don't know how well it will fit with our anatomical differences, but here is my strongest set.” I also give her a few ender pearls and a shield.  “Thank you.” she said, putting the armor on, “Huh, it’s pretty light.” “Yeah surprised me too. Now then this Sombra guy, is he a pony like you?” I ask as we get ready and I push the guards into the guard station before placing cobblestone blocks in front of the doorway. “Somewhat, he part Umbra, shadow pony, an evil crystal that held the Umbra made him, a few of my guards found him when he was a little foal, since then he’s been living here in the Empire, unfortunately, the Crystal Heart would hurt him whenever it is brought out for a celebration.” Amore said, a sad look on her face. “Then why not send him away to where he wouldn't be hurt?” I ask as we head up some stairs and stop long enough for a guard patrol to pass us.  “I am guilty to say I wanted to keep an eye on him, I wasn’t sure if he was putting on an act or really was a foal.” Amore said, looking even sadder now,  “I see, that makes a kind of sense.” I said as we sneak through the building we are in. Soon we came up to a large door with four guards. “What is this place?” “This is the throne room, Sombra should be inside there.” She said to me.  “Hmm well if that is true…” I reach into my backpack and pull out a golden idol with green eyes and give it to her. “Hold onto this no matter what.”  “What is it?” she asked me as she looked at the idol with confusion. “It's called the Totem of Undying, if you happen to take a lethal blow the totem will be destroyed and you'll survive.” I inform her then equip a crossbow and aim at one of the guards. “I am aiming at the one on the left.” “I’ll try to hit the two on the right.” Amore said back, aiming her bow, I fire the arrow at the first guard as Amore takes out the two on the right. I then run out and ram into the last guard. “That went well, alright time to take on the big bad.”  “Just be careful, Sombra is very powerful due to his magic being dark magic, which is fueled by hate and fear, and he is full of hate right now.” Amore said, “So be careful.” I nod and walk up to the door before pushing it open and looking inside. I see a black pony with a red cape and dark grey armor. I aim the crossbow at him and start pulling the arrow back before firing an arrow right at him.  Only for a shield to block the arrow, Sombra, no doubt it’s him, looked in my direction with a glare, “Who dares to try and strike me down?” he asks angrily. I open the door all the way and walk in holding my sword. “Someone you pissed off, I was just passing by when your guards attacked me for no reason, now I am gonna take you down.” I slowly walk away from the door keeping his attention on me.  “Ah, you are the one who caused trouble earlier.” Sombra said, giving me a bored look, “I must say, I don’t know why my guards had trouble with you.” “Maybe because they are not in full control of themselves.” I said frowning at him and then I quickly aim and fire the crossbow at his head.  Another shield blocks the arrow, Sombra had an amused look on his face, “That idiotic of you to try that again.” he said,  I drop the crossbow and equip an Ender pearl in my hand and throw it over his head. “How about I cut you open.” I started running at him.  He catches the Ender Pearl in a dark glow before tossing it behind me and blasting me with magic. I was sent back a bit before I was teleported where the Ender pearl landed and crashed into the wall. “So that’s what it does.” Sombra said, “Pretty useful item if you ask me.” I frown and reach into my backpack. “Yeah, it can be very useful, but not as useful as this!” I pull out my hand and place four iron blocks in a T pose then a jack o'lantern on top of them and the blocks fuse into an iron golem.  The Iron Golem looks around before glaring at Sombra before charging at him, Sombra blasts the golem with a beam of magic, watching as it flashes red from the hit. “Interesting seems like there was no magic in this golem.” Sombra said, teleporting away from the golem when it tried to punch him.   I look around keeping my guard up as Amore slowly creeps into the room. “What's the matter Sombra, are you scared of me?” I taunt then press myself against a wall so he can't surprise me.  “Not in the slightest.” Sombra replied as my sword was yanked out of my hands thanks to his magic, I turned and glared at him as he sent the blade at the Iron Golem at breakneck speeds, the blade stabbed into the Iron Golem, killing it and causing it to despawn, leaving a couple of iron ingots. I hold my hands out and make snow and more jack o'lantern appear in them then I quickly make lots of snowmen that start moving in random directions and throwing snowballs at Sombra.  The snowballs don’t even affect him at all. “Okay, you did impress me with the iron golem, but this is just sad.” Sombra said and used his magic to destroy all the Snow Golems. “Face it, you can’t hope to beat me with these pathetic excuses of golems.” “Oh those weren't going to beat you, but they make a great distraction.” I said as I smirked and stood behind five T-shaped stacks of iron with more jack o'lanterns in my hands. “Now give up or fight an army of my golems.”  “Oh please, you honestly think those things can stand against me?” Sombra asked me with a chuckle, “And what makes you think I won’t stop you from making them?” I smirk as I nod my head. “Simple, you will be too distracted by the arrows.”  “What arrows?” He asked, slightly confused. Just before three arrows come flying at him one hits his leg, another one hits his shoulder and the last one misses. “Those arrows!” I then quickly start placing the jack o'lanterns on the stacks of iron blocks making five golems and point at Sombra. “Kill.” their eyes turn red and they stomp over to him. Sombra growls as he pulls the arrows out of his leg and shoulder before blasting the golems, making them flash red as he keeps hitting them with beams of magic. Small bubbles popped around, showing that he was under the effects of the arrows he was hit with. I smirk and reach into my backpack and pull out two iron swords. “Hey Sombra how about you just leave the empire so you don't have to enslave the people here, and you get to be free from the pain of the crystal heart.” I try to talk with him as I walk around my golems but spot my command block on his throne.  “You’re an idiot if you think I’ll give up being king!” Sombra replied angrily, then looked to see Amore, who was about to fire another arrow at Sombra. “So you’re the one who shot me, well, I gave you mercy before, but this time, you die!” Sombra then fired a beam of magic at Amore, who tried to dodge but ended up getting hit. She screamed in pain as she turned to stone. “Shit! That was cold, Sombra turning her to stone like that!” I grit my teeth and think of a plan and switch my swords for two ender pearls.  Sombra seemed surprised that Amore was turned to stone, “that is odd, she should have been turned to dust, not stone.” He said then spots my Ender pearl heading right for his face.  He catches it with his magic and laughs. “Did you honestly believe I could be fooled with these little teleporters?” I smirk and appear over by his throne as the second pearl makes contact with it. “Actually I do, seeing because you stopped me from teleporting over to you, meaning I can get this.” I pick up my command block and add it to my hotbar so no one can take it. “And what was that supposed to accomplish?” Sombra asked as he tried hitting me with his magic, causing me to go on the defensive. I block the first blast with an iron sword and jump out of the way of the rest. “Get my stuff back that's what.” I look over at him and see how far away he is from Amore. I sigh and switch to a shield and a black block. “I had hoped not to use this, I hate being a Grefer.”  “A what?” Sombra asked, confused, I smirk and throw a potion at my feet. Once it breaks open and bubbles pop up around me as I fade away waving at Sombra. “You will see if you can catch me!” Once I am fully invisible I slowly and quietly make my way around the room as Sombra blasts his own throne to hit me. Once I make it between him and Amore, I look at the top left of my field of view and see that I only have 30 seconds of invisibility left. ‘Shit, I don't have much time to complete my plan.’ I think to myself then I start placing the black blocks of obsidian in a row of four and start stacking them.  The moment the first block was placed Sombra hears it and immediately turns around seeing the blocks appear out of nowhere. “What the?” Sombra said, before shaking his head and tried to blast me with his magic, one beam of magic barely grazed my shoulder. I grunt but finish most of the wall before I become visible again. I look through a hole in the wall as I equip a block of TNT and a flint and steel. “You asked what a Grefer was well you're about to find out!” I said as I placed the TNT on Sombra’s side of the wall and lit it with the flint and steel and quickly sealed the hole with one more block of obsidian. I hear the hiss of the dynamite activating and some broad yelling before a loud explosion. I then drop into the floor as it created a hole, what surprised me was the hole resembled that of an explosion from Minecraft, as instead of being round it is all square and jagged, and my obsidian wall seems to hover in place. “Seems what I use still follows Minecraft's laws of physics.” I said to myself before looking over and seeing a hurt Sombra. Black smoke coming off of what is left of his arm and leg as his left arm and leg have been blown off. “Holy shit, it worked.”  Sombra coughed as he glared at me, “Y-you’ll….pay….for th-this!” he said, horn glowing before he fired a beam at me but before the beam of magic could hit me it disappeared, “D-damn it….” I sigh and smile. “Seems you are out of luck.” I said before I see blocks floating a few inches off the floor and start picking them up and look at one. “Crystal block? Interesting, I want to experiment with this later. Who knows what it's capable of.” I then climb out of the hole and contemplate covering the whole up so Sombra can't escape. “Hmm, nah that's too cruel.” I said out loud and picked up my diamond sword Sombra took and dropped. I then walk over to Amore and try to come up with a way to help.  “Sombra!! Where are you?!” I heard someone shout that shook the whole room if not the whole building, which is quite impressive if it didn’t hurt my ears. I grunt and cover my ears until the ringing stops, then I look around not seeing anyone. “What the hell? Who in the world could be that loud?” then the doors to the throne room are blown off their hinges and in come two ponies. The first is a tall white female, ‘I think they're called mares.’ She is white with a four-colored mane and has golden armor on. I also spot a horn and a set of wings. I look over at the second one and she is slightly smaller than the first. Dark blue with a mane that looks like the night sky. wearing silver armor and she too has a horn and wings. “Um…” I stare at them and tighten my grip on my sword thinking they work for Sombra. The two didn’t seem to notice me as they looked around, then the dark blue mare shouted, nearly making me deaf in the process, “Sombra!! Come out and face us now!!!” she shouted, I cover my ears and yell in pain. “Ow! Fuck you are fucking loud!” I frown and look at them as they see me now. “If you are looking for Sombra, you are too late.”  “Who are you and what do you mean we are too late?” the white mare asked, glaring at me. I lift my sword and take a fighting stance. “It means I took care of him and was about to tend to Amore behind me, now leave.” I move my left hand so they can't see my palm and equip an Ender pearl to it. The two then looked at Amore then saw Sombra in the hole. The two mares then glared at me as weapons appeared in their hands, “We won’t leave, instead we’re going to bring you down.” the dark blue mare said,  I frown and tighten my grip. “Damn, I was hoping you wouldn’t say that.” I check my hearts and see I am still mostly full. That moment of distraction proved to be almost fatal, as the blue mare rushed toward me. I barely lifted my blade in time to block her attack and I was knocked into the floating obsidian wall before falling into the hole. I landed painfully next to Sombra, seeing that he was unconscious and not dead, I then heard the dark mare say, “Get up now, I know you aren’t that hurt.” she said, glaring at me from the edge of the hole. I frown and check my hearts seeing she took three of them. “Yeah, no thanks.” I throw my sword at her while throwing the Ender pearl out a window. “I don't think I will stick around to fight a strong mare.” The mare blinks and then glares at me, teleporting in front of me and dodging the sword as she did, she grabbed me by my neck and lifted me into the air. “You must have a death wish or something.” she said, “No one insults the princess of the night!” “Oh now I see you must be Sombra’s,” I said before I pop down onto the ground outside the castle. “Daughter. Damn, oh well.” I reach into my backpack and pull out two stacks of potions and drink two of them. One of them turned me invisible. I then drank the second potion, which was the Potion of Swiftness, I then ran out of the city at speeds that can match a car. Soon I was out of the city but I kept running. I check the corner of my vision and see the two potions only give me one minute of use. ‘OK so Sombra's daughter and possibly either wife or older daughter will be coming after me and I'll have to come back later to find Amore and save her somehow IF they don't destroy the statue.’ I think to myself as I run across the snowy landscape. I just kept running, stopping every now and then to drink another Potion of Swiftness and Invisibility, eventually, I stopped at a forest after a couple of hours of running. I pant and look down at my hearts and decide to eat to heal while I enter the forest. I reach into my backpack and pull out a golden apple. “I hope I can eat this.”  I took a bite out of the apple and a brief flash appeared in the corner of my eye, I looked and saw a hunger bar, and I saw that it went up as I continued to eat the apple, and I also noticed that I was starting to get less and less hungry, but my hunger bar wasn’t even half full. “Okay, so I can probably eat and I do still have a stomach, so what’s the hunger bar for?” I tap my chin as I think out loud. “Hmm, in the game the hunger bar is connected to your health but also to your stamina. I just ran miles at super speed and normally I'd be completely winded just running a few miles. so, as long as I have some of my hunger bar is filled I should be able to do anything without having to worry about stamina.” I reason out as I walk through the forest but then I hear footsteps. I turn to look at what caused the footsteps but froze when I saw an Enderman, it was holding a block of something I didn't even recognize, I blinked and it appeared right in front of me, looking me in the eye. “Aw, crap…” I back up slowly. “Um look I don't want to fight you so uh could we pretend we didn't see each other?” I try to talk with it while backing up only to bump into a tree.  It let out that garbled growl that Enderman always makes, then hissed running at me. “Oh fuck!!” I yell and jump to the left as he rams into the tree. I equip a sword and ax. “I tried being nice!” I run at the Enderman before cutting its back with the ax and go to stab it with the sword. Unfortunately, it teleports before I can and my sword gets stuck in a tree. The strange thing is while the sword is in the tree it starts growing square cracks along its bark. Before I could question what I saw, then Enderman appears behind me and hits me in the back of my head, “gah!” I am knocked into the tree but turn and cut the Enderman with the ax again. “Asshole!” I look around and pant. “Ok think, Endermen love to take blocks and teleport all over, but they hate water!” I grin and reach into my backpack and pull out a water bucket but before I can use it the Enderman shows up and hits me again knocking it out of my hand.  The bucket doesn’t exactly hit the ground, instead, it just floats above the ground like how stuff does in Minecraft, the ENderman hissed at me again before I threw my ax at its head, killing it and making it despawn, my ax and an Ender Pearl landed on the ground. I pant and start to pick stuff up. “Holy cow, I can't believe that I killed it.” I shake my head and when I focus on something in my hand it shrinks and I can fit it in my pockets. I put everything in my inventory then I make an iron golem. “Follow and defend me.”  The golem nodded its head as it began to follow me through the forest. We walk for a while until we come up to a clearing and a small mountain. “Huh, seems perfect, I can make a base here, and maybe if my friends ended up here, I could make something that only a Minecraft player would recognize.” I dig out a few iron shovels and pickaxes, then I start clearing the side of the mountain.   I then discovered that anything that I interact with using my tools becomes similar to Minecraft, meaning that they become blocks. When I used a shovel it created a square hole in the side of the mountain. “Ok, very strange but interesting.” I said then I started digging into the mountain itself until I found rock and then I dug out a space of 10 x 10 x 10 blocks. “Alright, good start but for safety let's put obsidian circling the whole thing.” I then place the obsidian on the floor, walls, and ceiling. I then follow that up by using wood planks to make a floor, walls, and ceiling adding in glow stone in the ceiling for lights. I heard a clunk sound as the Iron Golem I made was fighting a wood wolf? The iron golem slammed both of its arms into the wood wolf's back, bits of wood and splinters flew when it did. “Huh, strange I guess this place has unique creatures. I wonder if I can tame it if I give it some bones.” I wonder out loud and pull out a whole stack of bones. I walk over to the fight and whistle. “Hey wolf, I will give you these bones if you will be my friend!”  It tilts its head in confusion after I said that, giving me the chance to walk over to it and give a few bones, then a red collar appeared around its neck, and the sickly green glow it gave off turned bright blue. “Cool, it worked. Hmmm, how about I name you… Thorn.”  Thorn let out a happy bark, showing that it likes the name, I turned to the Iron Golem, “Don’t hurt this one.” I told it, the golem nodded its head and continued to remain on guard duty. I then turn to Thorn and smile. “You can stay inside with me or our here, whichever is more comfortable for you.” I then head inside and start adding things like a few chests, a bed, a furnace, and the crafting table. I stare at the crafting table as I get a very weird idea. I walk to the crafting table and start placing miniature crafting tables into the nine slots. Once finished I place my left and right hands onto the slots and the crafting table starts to glow as the nine miniature crafting tables drift closer and closer to the center one until they start to fuse. There is a flash when my new creation solidifies into what I will dub the super crafting table. The Super Crafting Table looked the same if it weren’t for the Crying Obsidian that had formed on parts of it, glowing purple, there were some bits of diamond on it as well. “Cool, I was right, I am not fully limited by the game’s rules.” I said before I put the super crafting table into my inventory. I then rub my chin before I make a wall of obsidian and then cover it with wood planks, leaving a hole big enough for me to crawl through. “There, a secret room in my base.” I then cover the hole with two chests that fuse into a wide chest.  I then thought of what to do next, I could go out and explore, or I could make a few secret tunnels and rooms in case Sombra's daughters come looking for me. Yeah, I’ll go with that last one, pulling out a diamond pickaxe, I got to work, I dug my way down at one of the walls of my hideout, I did find some Iron and coal while I dug so that’s a plus. I kept digging until I was at least thirty feet deep, then I continued digging forward until the tunnel was at least fifty feet, then dug up until I reached the surface. That’s when I got creative, I removed a few blocks from around the hole and then placed some sticky pistons, after a few frustrating minutes, I had made a Redstone secret door, with a hidden lever hidden by a tree, and I entered the tunnel and closed the secret door with a lever on the inside. After a few more frustrating minutes of walking down the tunnel and placing Redstone rails, I reached the stairs that led to my hideout, placing a minecart in a chest by the rails, I went up to my hideout and placed a door at the top of the stairs and then placed a painting over the door. “One down, possibly many more to go.” I said and got to work on the rest of the secret rooms and secret exits. It was night by the time I got done with the last one, after putting the finishing touches on it I went over to a couch I had made and sat down in exhaustion, Thorn walking over to me licking my cheek. “I’m ok boy, just a bit tired.” I told the wood wolf. I pet him and feel soft moss and chuckle. “Thanks, boy, how about you rest there is one more thing I want to work on.” I get up while I snack on a golden apple. I walk outside and climb up to the top of the mountain and start to hollow it out. Once it is hollow I start placing blocks of gold and diamonds in a pyramid pattern before making it out of the hole I dug. I then placed a beacon at the very top which unleashes a very bright beacon. “Oh yeah if my friends are here they will definitely see and recognize what this is.” I said to myself before climbing back down to my base and going inside. I sit down and think about what I should do when I remember the command block and place it on the ground and it grows to full size.  “Now then let's see what you can do.” I said to the block as I touched the top and it lit up with a holographic screen and a keyboard appeared over it. I read through it. “Ok let's see, I can make any block from this, see data about myself, add new recipes to create new items, oh and I can make new items with any enchantment I want.”  I thought of what I wanted to do now that I knew about the new stuff I can do. “How about a new type of golem?” I asked myself, then nodded, “Yeah, the same type of golem may not be all that good when it comes to newer opponents, and thanks to THorn, I know there are more than Minecraft mobs out there.” I began to make a new golem recipe, first off, it’ll be made of six gold blocks with the jack-o-lantern for the head, and some chains to connect the arms, I paused then thought of what else I wanted it to have, “Hmmm, I’ll most likely get bored or go insane if I just talk to myself, so I’ll have it speak English.” I said to myself, suddenly a bolt of electricity shoots from the command block to my forehead as a screen pops up. “Uploading language?” I read then hummed in thought. “The block must not know spoken English.” I said as it finished. Once it is finished I look it over and rub my chin. “Let’s see here, gold body, extendable arms, increased intelligence, the capability of speech. Hmmm.” I check some more options and find out I can give it enchantments and scroll through until I find one I like and add perfect regeneration to it. “Alright, smart and self-healing, I think you are ready.”  I tap finish and build then lightning fires out of the front of the command block in front of me stopping a space a few squares away. It gets brighter and brighter until there is a small boom. Once the light dies down I look and see a gold golem standing the same height as a normal iron golem but has blue eyes and a blue flower on its chest. “Hello.” it said, looking at me,  I smile and wave at it. “Hello, my name is Stanley. I made you, I suppose I should name you now.” I held my chin in thought for a few minutes then snapped my fingers, “I got it, C-3PO.” C-3PO tilts his head at my choice of name, “Very well master Skywalker.” he replied,  I blink in surprise then look between the command block and C-3PO. “Did you get a copy of my memories?” “I do not know what you are talking about.” C-3PO replied,  I raise an eyebrow. “Right, well for now I think I shall get some sleep, do you mind guarding my base with the iron golem and Thorn?”  “Of course, you go ahead and get some sleep, me and the other two will make sure nothing attacks.” C-3PO replied before he walked outside. I sigh and get up before walking to the bed and laying down. “I wonder if I will actually sleep, or if this is all a dream, and as soon as I close my eyes I’ll…” I pass out and start snoring. 3rd POV Crystal Empire, three hours ago Luna stared at the spot where Stan was, then growled in anger. “Damn it! That fiend escaped!” Luna shouted in anger. “Calm yourself, sister.” Celestia placed a hand on her shoulder. “We can still catch him, you check outside, his teleport left a trail that leads outside. I will check if he has hurt Amore.”  Luna nodded her head before she quickly headed towards the window, just barely seeing Stanley drink an invisibility potion before disappearing from sight completely, “Damn, the fiend just became invisible, by the time I get there he’ll no doubt be long gone.” Luna said, Celestia sighs and walks up to Amore and uses her magic to scan her. “Strange, she is alive but dead, it is like she is trapped between life and death.” She sees a strange object on her hip. But before she could investigate it she heard coughing and turned to see Sombra glaring at her as his horn lights. “I refuse to lose my kingdom to the likes of you!” His magic flows into the castle and through the castle, the whole Empire starts to flicker in and out of reality. “I will have the last laugh!”  “Sombra!? What are you doing?! Stop this now!!” Luan demanded the defeated king, Sombra laughs evilly as the empire starts to disappear and so does he. “I will be back one day and when I return you and all of Equestria will fall!” Before Celestia or luna can do anything Sombra, Amore, and the whole Empire have disappeared leaving the snowy tundra. “He is gone! I can't feel his magic at all.” Celestia said while using magic to look for Sombra. “That monster has banished himself and the Empire!! It’s the only explanation!” Luna said, then let out a shout of anger, “Curse him! When he returns I’ll make him sorry!!” Celestia sighs and wraps a wing around her sister. “I am upset too luna but we must start tracking down Sombra's minion that got away. He was taking care of Sombra and was about to kill princess Amore. We had to stop him if he's still loose on our world.” “You’re right sister, we’ll have to start searching as soon as possible.” Luna replied,  Celestia shivers slightly. “Let us go home and rest first, this has been a long flight and we still have to fly home through this snow and cold wind.” Celestia smiles. “But once we find that stallion we can try to use the elements on him. perhaps he's under some sort of mind control and freeing him will allow him to tell us how to find Sombra again.” Luna nodded her head, “Yes, I agree sister, but what if he isn’t?”  “Then we shall have to lock him away and you can…” Celestia shivers a bit. “Get answers your way.”  “Come now sister, my ways aren’t that bad, a little frightening but not that bad.” Luna replied,  “I know sister but it still feels wrong.” Celestia said as she flapped her wings. “But let us speak of nicer things.” She flies into the air. “How has night court been?” Luan frowned slightly but her sister didn’t notice, “It’s been a bit boring.” Luna said,  Celestia laughs softly. “Well at least you don't have too much paperwork.” she said as they fly back to their home.  ‘Please, paperwork is the least of my troubles.’ Luna thought to herself as she flew next to her sister. Fire, fire, and smoke was the only thing that could be seen, the sky was a blood-red color while the moon had blocked the sun, a large portal made of Obsidian stood menacingly, the entire Nether charging out of it, and on the other side was the residents of the End, the Enderman hissed as they charged as well, the Ender Dragon flying above them. And in the middle of the two charging armies was Herobrine and another person, her eyes glowing bright purple while Herobrine's glowed white, the two-faced the two armies with weapons ready until the Ender Dragon and Ghasts fired at them, creating an explosion. [Stan’s POV My eyes open from the shaking and then I sit up in my bed. “What on earth?” I get out of bed and equip my armor and sword thinking it is a creeper or something before I leave my room and then open the front door.  The moment I did, I saw the dark mare from before as she just blasted the Iron Golem, then looked at me, we both stared at each other before she shouted, “YOU!!” Then I was sent flying back from the force of the shout, crashing into the wall and leaving a me-shaped hole. “Ow! My ears and back!” I yell over the ringing in my ears before I open my eyes and see her coming at me with an armored fist aimed at my head. I pull myself free and roll out of the way. “Damn and just when I was getting a good night's sleep.” I said while equipping a shield to my left arm.  The mare tried to hit me with her magic but I brought up the shield to block it, but I didn’t count for the amount of power the beam had so I was sent flying back again. “Give up now, you can’t possibly hope to win against me!” the mare shouted, “Yeah, not gonna happen!” I frown and while I am blocking her spell I swap my sword for an ender pearl and throw it up over her. Then I switch back to a sword. “With any luck, your dad is dead and I won't have to see him again.” I said and got ready and right after I teleported and turned and swung my sword and cut at her back armor.  A halberd blocked my sword before I could do any damage, spinning around and hitting me with her weapon, she growled as she continued her assault, not giving me a chance to counter-attack, soon after blocking her attacks, my sword was starting to crack. “Oh come on!” I yell as I glance at it seeing its durability is at 2%. “Fuck, not enough.” I throw the sword at her and run over to where I made a trap. “damn, damn, damn!” I reached behind a painting and pressed a button, a trap door opened where the mare was standing but she had opened her wings and flying above the hole, “Did you really think that would work?” she asked me as I pressed another button, a hole opened in the ceiling and water began to fall on her, pushing her down into the hole. I turned off the trap and closed the trap door. I smile and run past the trap hole and get to the front door of my home. “Where the hell is C-3PO and thorn?!” I said as I went inside and found my backpack putting it on. Then I check my armor's durability seeing that all of it is at 5%. “Just perfect, my armor is almost broken.” I feel the ground shake and a feminine war cry. Soon after I heard that the trap door where the mare fell into was destroyed when a beam of magic blasted through it, then the mare flew up looking extremely pissed, “You are going to pay for that.” she said, “Meep.” I said with wide eyes and I equip a crossbow and start firing a few arrows at her but it takes a while between shots. “Just go away! You have the empire, and Amore.”  “Wrong! Sombra banished himself and the Empire! We can’t even find it anymore thanks to him!” the mare replied, blocking each arrow with her magic. I blink confusedly. ‘Why would he leave his daughters behind?’ I think to myself and unfortunately left myself open just long enough for the blue mayor to blast me with magic knocking me into a wall and all my armor breaks at once. “Arg!”  “Now, will you finally surrender? Or do I need to make you surrender?” the mare asked me while she had the halberd close to my neck. I gulp and frown and her. “I will never give up to you or the other one.” I said to her as I equip an ender pearl.  Before I could do anything, she took the Ender Pearl out of my hand, “Don’t think you can pull the same trick on me again.” she said, then moved the halberd closer to my neck, “Surrender now, and you might just spend some time in the dungeon.” I groan and sigh. “Damn, well I guess I have no choice.” I equip a potion in my hand. “I crush this and we both get poisoned.”  The mare went wide-eyed, “You wouldn’t dare.” she said,  I glare at her. “I would rather die than lose my freedom.” The mare looked a bit confused at first before she glared at me, slowly moving the halberd away from my neck, “Good, now leave me alone! Just because your daddy left you behind doesn't mean you can take it out on me!”  The mare growled before she took the potion out of my hand while swinging the halberd at me, causing me to duck to dodge it, the blade barely grazed the top of my head, and a few strands of hair fell in front of me. “Holy shit!” I said as I rolled away then got up and ran for my front door while reaching into my backpack and pulling out a block of TNT. “Time for drastic measures.” Unfortunately for me, I don't get to use the block as my door opens and the white mare is standing there. She glared at me and took the block of TNT and pointed her sword at me, I glimpsed behind her and saw floating iron ingots meaning the iron golem was dead, and C-3PO and Thorn were in some sort of golden net, floating above the ground.  I frown and pant as I equip a golden apple. “Seems I am trapped.” I slowly move the apple to my mouth. Only for it to get blasted out of my hand by the dark mare,  “Enough tricks fiend.” she said, aiming her halberd at me, I frown and point at it. “It was an apple, what could I have possibly done with it aside from eating it or throwing it out at one of you, and really how much would an Apple hurt?” Then I equip my last one. “Now, don't be jerks and let me eat.” I lift it up to take a bite.  They don't stop me from eating the apple. So I take the time to think of a plan, only coming up with something crazy. “I really wish you hadn't forced my hand.” I said before Equipping a shovel and starting digging straight down. Unfortunately, as soon as my shovel touches the ground is involved in a blue aura and ripped out of my hands. “Didn’t you hear me?! Enough tricks!” the dark blue mare said, snapping the shovel in half. “Aww, that was my only diamond shovel.” I pout and try to think of a new plan. “Just who are you?!” the dark mare asked, no doubt getting angrier by the second. “And how did you get a diamond shovel?! That’s impossible to make!” I smirk with false bravado and gulp. “I am on Minecraftian, and I have my ways. Not that you need to know that.” I cross my arms. “So what now you kill me for killing him?”  “Kill you? Why would we want to kill you?” the white mare asked, I raise an eyebrow. “For killing your father duh.” I said then start to reach for my backpack.  “Father? You mean Sombra?” the white mare asked, raising an eyebrow in confusion, before she grabbed my backpack, in her magic, “Do you take us for fools? We can see that you were reaching for this.” I frown and grip my backpack straps. “If you try to take this from me I will make you pay.” I glare at her and see a bag hanging by her hip, and inside it I see a crystal of some kind sticking out. “Look, either let me go and leave me alone or kill me because I refuse to be imprisoned.” “This fool is mocking us sister, let us use the elements on him!” The blue mare yells and drops me. I look up as three crystals float out of the white mare’s bag. “I agree with you sister, hopefully, they teach him some manners.” The white one said as crystals come out of her bag as well. The two of them make the crystals spin around them before they fire a rainbow beam at me. I cover my face when it hits me, only to not feel anything. I look around and see the rainbow around me and then I look down and see my feet are turned to stone. “What the hell!?” I try to move but can’t. “Damn it! These bitches are crazy!” I see the stone crawling up my legs. Realizing that I will not survive this most likely, I decide to leave a message behind so I reach into my backpack and pull out a book and quill. I gulp and write in the book a simple message. “I killed Sombra, but was defeated by his daughters and will most likely die, trapped in stone.” I see the stone is up to my chest, so I take a deep breath and yell. “C-3PO, I order you to not reveal your secrets to them!” Then the stone makes it up to my neck so I look down at my book, smiling sadly. “Too bad I couldn't save Amore.” Then I am covered by the stone and everything goes away. No sight, no sounds, no smells, and even my thoughts seem to fade away.
