HEROBRINE RETURN§

Herobrine glanced around the ruined dungeon where dead bodies lay all over the place. "Entity303, I'm impressed you lead the attack so well. I didn't even expect you could get this far." Suddenly, he heard another explosion as the ground shook.

He glanced at Alex, she was unconscious and bleeding. Herobrine grinned and knelt beside her, "Thanks to you the vessel lost it all. Hmm...you're something special to him..." Herobrine pointed the bloody sword at her as blood dripped on her face, "You can be a hindrance to us someday...or to me."

As he brought down the sword, he heard something passed him...clang...as another sword counterattack his sword. Herobrine immediately move away as an arrow almost got him.

"You are swift...Nick." Herobrine smirked, then he glanced over his shoulder, "And, who might you be, archer?"

"How did you get free!?" Jerald roared, as five more guardians appeared.

Shandy glanced around and anger boiled inside her, "How can you do this!? If you are really Steve, the Steve I know can't do such a thing!"

Herobrine chuckled wickedly, "I remember, you're Steve's friend that got turned to one of my minions..."

Nick hurled his sword, Herobrine dodged but his left cheek got scratched, "Shut up!"

Shandy saw Alex and immediately went to her, she was surprised to see her severely bleeding.

They heard Herobrine laughed, an evil laughter, "Fools...the Steve you know is no more! I am now Herobrine, the bringer of the new era! The new era where mortals will live in fear under my rule!"

The guardians furiously glared at him and attacked, but Herobrine skillfully defended himself.

"Alex...Alex... can you hear me!?" Shandy fearfully looked at her as she laid her head on her lap.

"She's unconscious...and bleeding. You tend to her bleeding. I'll be right back!" Nick stood up. He glanced at the guardians fighting Herobrine before he run to get help.

They passed all the dead bodies and examined them, earlier, unfortunately it was too late for them because every guards had received a fatal blow. Only Alex have a chance to live so Nick hurried before it's also too late for her.

Jerald slashed his sword at Herobrine but Herobrine skillfully dodged. He teleported behind a guardian and tried to kill him but Shandy quickly aimed her arrow. He sensed it right away and dodged. "This is quite entertaining." He sneered, he picked up a sword on the floor and swirled it.

Jerald and the guardians tensed up a bit. Herobrine blinked at Jerald but he parried his sword away.

Meanwhile, Nick had finally reached the surface. He was very shocked to find the whole castle in commotion. He didn't expect the enemy to had easily infiltrated the whole place, everywhere he looked, he saw everyone busy fighting off the enemies. He glanced around for any medic or a healer.

He saw one of the hermits, Jumbo Mumbo, holding a minigun dispenser and a lever on the side as Jumbo Mumbo continuously shoot a lot of arrows at the attacking enemy. "Die you disgusting mobs! Die!" He cursed.

Nick run up to him as he saw him opened a nearby chest and loaded the dispenser with more arrows. Nick stabbed a wither skeleton on his way to him.

"Argh! Get away from me!" Nick saw him fought off a netherman, who teleported beside him, and killed it.

"Hey! Have you see Scar? We need his help!" He anxiously asked him. "Where's Grian?"

Jumbo Mumbo lifted up the dispenser and flashed a grinned, "He went off with the others to protect the rulers. Scar is in the back. He and the rest are guarding the secret passage."

"Thanks!"

"No problemo! Eat my arrows!" He went crazy again with the dispenser.

In no time, Nick found Scar in the back. He saw they are guarding a secret passage behind a pillar, "Hey...Scar! We need your help!" Nick called.

"What is it?"

"Alex is losing blood. Do you have any healing potion?" He hastily said.

Scar reached for something inside his robe, "Here!" As he tossed him a healing potion.

"Thanks." Nick was about to took off when Scar called after him and told him that the place would blow up in ten minutes.

Back at the dungeon, Herobrine did killed two of them but Jerald wounded him on the arm. "You fought well...but, we'll see each other again." As he teleported away.

"Darn!" Jerald tightly gripped his sword in anger.

A second later, Nick came running to them holding a bottle of potion. He tended first the wounds of Alex before he tossed the potion to Jerald to heal the other two then he carried Alex on his back and glanced at them.

"We need to leave this place it's gonna blow up in seven minutes." He warned them

"Got it." Shandy nodded.

Hurriedly, they helped the wounded to walk as they hastily, but carefully, get out of there. As they reached the surface, Jumbo Mumbo met them there. "We need to go! The place is gonna blow up in two minutes. Hurry!" He valiantly cover them until they safely entered the passage.

Meanwhile, Null was watching the whole scenery from atop a high building. The sun was setting his back against it. He watched in glee as fire and explosion slowly destroyed Hypixel.

Unexpectedly, Herobrine walked at his side. Null glanced at him, "So you've returned. I was wondering what had happened to you and to Entity303."

Herobrine looked at him, "Entity303 had long betrayed us. He had already given some intel to the enemy, it won't be long when they would try to use it against me."

Null timidly looked at him.

"But, that day shall never come for I shall enslave the world! Look at how this once great kingdom has became. It won't be long until I brought down the other two kingdoms for no one can stop me now nor even the vessel!" Herobrine chuckled, "The vessel is no more! I shall bring the rise of a new era. An era of darkness and fear!"

His evil laughter echoed.

Meanwhile, all the civilians of Hypixel had flee to the kingdom of Valimoria. The hospitals are all full of wounded patients and some were even stabbed to death when they are starting to became violent due to zombie bites.

In one of the rooms, Nick, Shandy, Grian, Scar, Jumbo Mumbo, and Jerald are gathered there around the hospital bed where Alex laid unconscious. All were in sorrows.

"Another kingdom was once again been brought down." Scar mourned. "All its glory had been wide out and thus lay in ruins."

"Can you shut up!" Jumbo Mumbo snapped. "This is not the time."

"People had once again lost another home...damn that monster!" Grian clenched his fists in anger.

"What are we going to do now?" Shandy hopelessly said.

Jerald spoke up gravely, "Nothing. We already lost two kingdoms and we lost a lot of people. Also, two of the rulers are in critical condition right now.The enemies are already stronger than our forces. We can't do anything...not anymore."

"You're wrong." They all looked at Nick, "You're right that they are strong but...no matter what, I'll fight for my land and for freedom. A lot of our comrades had sacrificed their lives for us and I won't let that go in vain. I will fight until my last breath!" Nick fiercely declared.

They all exchanged glances. Shandy smiled and lowered her gaze, "And, I"

"And, I" Grian said.

"And, us!" Exclaimed Scar and Jumbo Mumbo.

They all looked at Jerald. Jerald looked around and sneered, "My clan and I shall fight alongside with you all!"
