Steve arrived back at camp just after midday had passed, he raced into the camp and threw open one of the chests, startling the two mares in the camp. He grabbed cobblestone and wood from the chest and ran over to patch up the north, west, east and south gates. Once he had done so, he went to the crafting bench and began to make some arrows for the upcoming battle.
Twilight and Rainbow Dash were confused by Steve’s actions, moving over to him she asked him what was wrong. “Steve, what’s wrong. Why did you block the entrances?”
Steve looked at her with a determined expression on his face. “You want me to go inside your head again, don’t you?” He nodded and Twilight began to cast the spell. What she saw inside she could not describe, for she saw Steve as he stumbled upon the cave of horrors. She saw how he reacted to them, and that the fear he felt was shown to her.
Slowly a thought entered the vision. “I have to warn them, I have to tell Admin.”
As Twilight left Steve’s mind she looked into his eyes, she saw there the determination and dedication to keep her safe. She nodded and Steve went back to preparing the required items when night should fall.
V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V Later That Night V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V
Steve stood on the wall with bow and arrow in hand, looking off into the distance he saw the sun setting, looking the other way he saw the moon rising. He slowly loaded the bow with an arrow and waited for the sun to finally drop below the horizon.
He looked south and saw the moon rising more higher into the sky, his face grimaced in determination and hatred as the sounds of moaning filled the night. Cocking the bow he pointed it towards the forest edge, just as the first zombie exited the forest he loosed the arrow and watched it as it hit a zombie in the head. Arrows levitated next to him as Twilight handed him a stack of arrows, taking one he loosed it into the hoard exiting the forest. He felled two more with well placed shots to the head, and still the stack of arrows levitated by his side.
Twilight herself was levitating a bow in front of her and sat beside Steve. She too was shooting arrows towards the mob of zombies that grew ever closer to the camp. They shot arrows off into the night together as the zombies still drew closer. Soon Twilight was close to exhaustion as the magic spent to keep the duplicating spell on the arrows working, soon enough she sat her bow down and looked towards Steve. He nodded and Twilight got off the wall and walked towards the chest, with Rainbow’s help they pushed the chest towards the wall and opened it. Inside was some modified armour for the two equines. For Rainbow Dash, there was Leather chest plate, helmet, leggings and two coverings for her wings. For Twilight there was a set of chainmail armour, a chest plate, a helmet with a hole in it for her horn and some leggings.
There was also a pair of iron swords inside the chest as well as a ton of arrows for Steve if he should run out. Rainbow Dash grabbed one of the iron swords inside the chest with her mouth; Twilight levitated the other with her magic and placed it over her back. Together the two walked towards Steve and waited below him. Rainbow looked towards Twilight with a nervous glance.
“Well.... I guess this is a good time to say, I think you two go well together.” Twilight smiled at her friend. “Thanks Rainbow, I was wondering what you would think of me and Steve.”
Rainbow chuckled at her friend. “Always knew you would like the strong silent type.” Twilight laughed at her friend’s accusation. “I know Rainbow.... I know...”
Steve jumped off the wall with hope glimmering in his eyes. He pointed over the wall and the three of them climbed up, that’s when they heard it. The cries of rage and hatred coming from the hill, looking at the hill they saw Admin running down with an armoured pig galloping beside him, his face contorted into a grimace of rage. Just before he reached the line of zombies, he jumped onto a rock protruding from the ground. Bracing his legs he jumped and bellowed at the zombies below him. He landed onto of one of the zombies burying his daggers into the head of the beast, the pig beside him bucked a zombie in the legs and head butted it in the face. Admin got up from the downed zombie and threw one of his daggers into the face of a zombie whilst burying the other into the neck of another. Pulling his dagger loose he ran towards the one with his other dagger inside its head. Grabbing the dagger and pulling it free, he ran up the body and jumped off its head and kicked another zombie in the face. He was like a raging storm with his twin blades, slitting the throat of one zombie whilst simultaneously stabbing another in the head. Soon enough he was surrounded by the bodies of his felled enemies, and still the pig stayed by his side breaking the legs of zombies and pounding their heads into the ground. Rainbow Dash watched the monsters that they had thought would have killed then, being felled one by one by Admin. His wrath felled them swing for swing. Slowly but surely, the numbers that the zombies held over them began to diminish. Admin got down on all fours and tackled one zombie while the pig jumped off his back and head butted a zombie in the face. The two were inseparable; it was almost like they were dancing the dance of death.
Soon enough the zombies were all dead, and the two stood atop a mountain of dead and decaying corpses. Blood dripped from Admins twin daggers, and the two were covered in blood and gore from the zombies that lay underneath their feet. The two shared a look and laughed atop their mountain of dead, they walked down the steps of the dead reaching the door to the camp.
Admin called out to them. “Hey ya’ll alright in there?”

The hooded figure looked into the glass in front of him on the desk. He watched as Admin felled the hoard one by one, his rage amplified as he saw the pig beside him. “So a side has been chosen the general has begun construction of his army, and so to have I.”
He looked up from the orb in front of him. “Bring them in.” An EnderMan nodded its head and teleported away. The hooded figure lowered its head again to stare at the orb on the desk in front of him. After a few moments the door opened revealing a mismatched creature, a bug like pony, and a Stallion with smoke coming from his eyes.
They walked towards the figure on the black throne. When they got close enough two Wither Skeletons blocked their path with black swords. The figure looked at them with lifeless white eyes. “Do you know why you are here?”
The three looked from one to the other, they looked back to the creature and the bug like mare spoke up. “Why are we here, I have a swarm to get back to.”
The figure looked towards the bug like mare and scowled. “Silence insolent worm, did I give you permission to speak? No I did not, now be silent before I cut of that blubbering tongue and feed it to the spiders.” The bug mare gulped and quietened down.
The hooded figure smiled. “Good, now the answer to the rhetorical question that I asked is simple, I need generals for my army. I have chosen you three; you represent the evil I wish to spread into this world, Chaos,” He looked towards the mismatched creature. “, fear” He looked towards the Stallion with smoke coming from its eyes. “And control.” He looked towards the bug like mare and smiled. “You three will help me conquer this world. And in the end, I will help you conquer your own. Do you agree?”
The three creatures nodded towards the cloaked figure. “Excellent. Your first task is to find these people and kill them.” Pictures of Admin, Steve, codelord and FrozenFire_ and a few others appeared inside the orb. “The first three are already together, and will be your hardest targets to kill. I would recommend going after those who are alone first, they will be your easiest targets to kill.” The figure waved a hand and three more orbs appeared before the three. “Your first targets will appear on those orbs, they will also be my means of contacting you. And be warned of the Alchemist, he is cunning, and deceitful. Go after him first.”
The mismatched creature spoke up. “We understand, but may we ask, who are you?” The hooded figure smiled underneath its cowl.
“Me? I am the one who lurks in the dark, the murderer in the night. Lord of death and destruction, I am the one who goes bump in the night. I am Herobrine, and you will server me.”
The three left the dark chamber of Herobrine, the door closing seemingly on its own behind them. The stallion with smoke coming out of his eyes spoke up with a dark and menacing voice.
“I do not like this Herobrine that we find ourselves employed to.”
The mismatched creature nodded to the stallion. “I don’t like it either Sombra, but he offered us the world, and I intend on taking it. Don’t you agree Chrysalis?”
Chrysalis nodded. “I agree with Discord here Sombra. He offered us the world, who would not be smart enough to realize this opportunity?”
Sombra shook his head. “Obviously you two have been blinded by this Herobrine, the targets he has given us have no information on them, and although we know who they are we do not know what they are capable of.”
Discord nodded agreeing with the smoky stallion that walked with them down the blacked corridors of the Worlds End Citadel. “I agree that we only know who they are, but come friends, we have spent long waiting and I am tired. Let us retire to the quarters that have been given to us, in the morning we leave to join the hunt.”

I shuddered as I felt a presence watching me; I was confused as to who would be capable of doing so. I stopped in my tracks as the thought hit me. “Everyone stop...” The two mares, Minecraftian and pig stopped what they were doing. After a few minutes the presence left, leaving me with a chill down my spine.
Codelord walked up to me. “What’s wrong Admin?” I looked at him. “He was watching....” His eyes widened as he realized who I was talking about; I turned to face the others. “This camp has been compromised! Pack up anything of value, we leave at midday.”
They all nodded at went about packing things up onto the wagon Steve and I had built after the battle. The smell of burning bodies wafted through the camp as the giant bonfire of dead zombies burned in the night, keeping the other creatures of the dark away.
I stood in the middle of the camp, watching as the others went about their packing. Twilight and Steve picked up a chest and placed it in the back of the wagon, Rainbow walked up to me. “Was he really watching us?” I nodded. “So what are we going to do now?”
I sighed as Twilight and Steve packed up the crafting bench and placed it into the wagon. “We leave; this place has been found by Herobrine. And there is no doubt in my mind that he has sent assassins against us. We must reach High Rockwall in two days time; otherwise I fear what might happen to Frozen....”
Rainbow’s head lowered onto the bench. “How do you know codelord and FrozenFire_?”
I smiled at the mare next to me. “Do you remember that I told you that a few players made operators were killed during the war by Herobrine?” When she nodded I continued. “Those two were part of the group that helped in our battle against Herobrine, they supplied us with healing and strength potions, supplied the troops with food and water. They helped us defeat Herobrine and the EnderDragon, but in the end we thought them dead as they were cast down by him. Turns out I was wrong, and am I thankful for that.”
I smiled at the pig as he squealed profanities at the small chest in front of him, shaking a foot at it. “They were the glue that kept the army together, and I’m glad that they didn’t pass away in the real world.” My face took a sombre expression and my voice sounded deflated. “Unlike the others that were killed by Herobrine....” Rainbow looked up to me and I knew she could see the sadness in my eyes. “The others, they weren’t so lucky.... As they passed away in this world they suffered heart attacks in the real world and passed on.” Tears fell from my checks and I stopped talking, I felt a pair of hooves wrap around my neck and I didn’t resist as Rainbow hugged me. I cried in rage and sadness that all the lives that Herobrine took all those years ago would happen again.
Twilight and Steve stopped what they were doing and looked in our direction as they heard me cry, but as they saw that Rainbow was trying to comfort me they continued packing the tools and supplies onto the motored wagon.
Eventually I stopped crying and stared out into the night sky, “You know.... I think you were brought here to lead us.” I looked at the rainbow mare that had a leg wrapped around my neck, she looked into my eyes and smiled. “I’ve only known you for a few days now, but you seem like an alright guy in my book. And I trust you, I believe in you. Just remember that we all believe that you can pull us through this.”
I smiled and wiped my eyes. “Thanks Dash, I needed that.” She hugged me again and flew off to help codelord, who was still squealing profanities at the small chest in front of him.
I smiled and chuckled lightly, hopefully I can find the strength to finish the task to which I have been given. I looked out towards the rising sun and breathed in a fresh new breath. A look of determination rose upon my face; I will find them a way back, I will protect them this time, and even if it costs me my own life I will do so.
