~Dianite's POV~

"I want answers Dia! Why aren't the serums we're creating working?"

"I have no clue Hero! But as of right now, they're testing serum 224 as we speak."

"The one that creates the evil alternates? Will it be strong enough?"

"We aren't sure. I have no idea when we'll get results."

A knock sounded on the large door as a wither skeleton walked in with a large grin on it's skeletal face.

"My lords, we have finally succeeded. The subject's body has accepted serum 224."

Me and Hero grinned evilly at each other.

"Perfect, send him in." Hero said, walking over to stand in front of his throne.

The wither skeleton nodded and pushed open the door for a lone figure. His red eyes looked over the chamber as a devilish smile came upon his tan face. A black and red checkered hoodie sat wrapped around his waist and his white t-shirt sleeves were rolled up. The figure walked up to stand before Hero and I and bowed.

"How may I serve you M'lords?" He asked.

"KillerCanadian." Hero said, causing Killer to rise. "You shall train my mob army. Once you have them all trained, come back here as quickly as you can. And take this sharpness 3 diamond sword. It will help you in your fight against our enemy."

"Yes my King!" Killer said, giving Hero a devilish grin as he grabbed the diamond sword given to him by the Wither skeleton from before. "Thank you."

"Of course. Now go! Prepare the troops!"

Killer nodded once more before rushing out of the room. I turned to Hero.

"Are you happy with the results Hero?" I asked.

"Yes Dia. Very much so." Hero said, sitting back on his throne.

"Be prepared heroes. We got plenty of surprises."

~Lachlan's POV~

"So who's ruling the Budder Kingdom right now?" I asked Sky as we trekked through the desert yet again.

"According to my knowledge, it should be someone close to me. Unless he's been overtaken." Sky answered. "His name is Gizzy Gazza. He's a really good friend of mine."

"I hope he's still ruling." Dan said. "I've heard rumors that the Budder Kingdom's ruler got overthrown by someone. But those are just crazy rumors right?"

"We don't know for sure." Tom said. "But for now, our main focus is saving Jordan."

Ever since we were told that Jordan was the next to be saved, Tom has had a new strength. He's up and ready before anyone else. Being so close to finding his boyfriend must have helped him back in his feet.

"We know Tom." Tucker said. "Just calm down. We'll get Jordan AND restore Sky as the rightful King of the Budder Kingdom."

I nodded in agreement before tuning out of the conversation and catching up with the rest of the Pack who were talking about Mitch.

"So where do you think he'll be?" Preston asked. "I mean, we've been over most of Minecraftia by now, and I don't think Herobrine would send him to other lands with the others so close in range."

"I think he may be with Herobrine himself." Rob said, looking to all of us.

"I think that would make sense." Jerome replied. "Mitch doesn't have a hybrid half so Herobrine must have kept him behind to experiment on him. Notch! Just thinking about that sets me off."

I put a comforting hand on Jerome's shoulder.

"Don't worry mate. We'll find him and save him from Herobrine's clutches." I said, giving him a small smile.

"Yeah! We'll kick Herobrine's sorry..."

"Guys! We're here!" Rob said, interrupting Preston.

Looking up, I noticed the large golden gates of the Budder Kingdom. Guards lined every wall, decorated with armor of all kinds. Most ran around with large bows and swords; yelling at each other. One guard looked at us with a small frown.

"How may I help you travelers?" He asked, looking at all of us individually.

Sky cleared his throat, catching everyone's attention.

"I am Adam Skylen. Rightful King of the Budder Kingdom. I have returned to resume my position as King."

Upon seeing Sky and his amulet, the guards cheered and threw open the gates. A few guards ran towards the large castle and began to yell 'The King has returned!' to the people. The guard from before walked up to Sky and bowed.

"It's King Sky! He's returned!" He rejoiced, smiling brightly. "It's been too long my King."

"It was only a few years Bodil." Sky said, hugging him.

The Bulgarian let out his signature laugh and smiled.

"It's great to see you Sky." He said, pulling from the hug.

"You too Bodil. How has Gizzy been?" Sky asked as we began to walk into the city.

"It was great choice to choose him as temporary leader. He's helped us prosper. But I'm sure everyone's happy to have their old king back." Bodil answered, motioning to the crowd of people lining the street; cheering and talking.

People cheered for Sky as we walked down the cobble roads. Once they saw me and the rest of the Pack, they began to cheer our name loudly. Bodil laughed at our shocked faces.

"Everyone here has heard of your part in defeating Herobrine last year. To the people, you are legends." Bodil explained as people threw flower petals all over us.

"Did you guys hear that? I'm a legend!" I said, putting my hands on my waist.

Preston caught a bouquet of flowers and used it to hit me on the head.

"So are we you jag!" Preston exclaimed as people laughed at our antics.

"OI MATE! Watch the hair!" I said, covering my head with my hands.

Vikk, Rob, and Jerome stood to the side and laughed along with the crowd.

"Pack! I suggest you keep up!" Bodil said, a little ways ahead of us. "The castle is just up ahead, but it's a very confusing one. We don't want any of you to get lost."

Brushing off the flower petals, we all ran towards Bodil and looked in awe at the brilliance of the castle. Glowstone chandeliers hung throughout the halls, casting them in a warm golden glow. Gold walls stood around us and iron floors under our feet. Red carpet lined the middle of the floors and paintings lined almost every wall.

"Wow. This castle must have cost a fortune!" Rob exclaimed, looking around.

"15 years worth of mining to be exact." Sky told us, making Rob's mouth drop. "Now come one! Once we meet up with Gizzy we can refresh ourselves."

"That sound like a great idea." Sonja said, running a hand through her brown hair. Lizzie and Tiffany nodded in agreement.

"Gizzy should be in the main hall with his guards." Bodil explained, leading us down the maze of halls.

"You weren't kidding when you said this castle was confusing." Kenny said.

"It's the biggest castle in Mincraftia." Bodil told him. "It used to be second compared to Lavana's castle. But unfortunately it was destroyed. I'm sorry about your family by the way Lord Kenny."

"How did you know about that?" Kenny asked.

"There were rumors that you weren't killed in the attack like your parents. After no one could find a body, they knew you were either taken or you ran away." Bodil explained as he stopped in front of a large set of doors.

"Oh." Was all Kenny said.

"Alright. Here we are. I think Simon and Baki already informed him of your arrival, so let's just go in." Bodil said, turning and pushing open the doors after he finished his sentence.

Three men stood in the hall, looking up at us as we entered.

"Sky!" A man with black hair in dreadlocks and dark brown eyes exclaimed. "It's true! You are here!"

"Good to see you again Gizzy. How's royal life been?" Sky asked, hugging his friend.

"It's been tiring. But worth it. We've prospered quite a bit." Gizzy explained.

"I can see that." Sky said, smiling. "How are you guys?"

"We've been good. Just watching over these idiots." A guy with a rabbit beanie said, his curly brown hair bouncing in his maroon eyes. He pointed to both Gizzy and the black haired man beside him.

"I can hear you Sam! I'm right here!" The raven haired male said, smacking Sam across the head.

"Taurtis, don't hit Sam." Gizy said, rolling his eyes at the two. "And Sam, I agree with you. Taurtis is an idiot."

"Hey!"

"Gizzy. Has anything bad happened lately." Sky asked, crossing his arms.

Gizzy's face turned grim as he nodded.

"Yes. It comes every four hours before disappearing. We have a feeling it's one of Herobrine's works."

"When will it appear next?" Wag asked.

"In three hours. It attacked less than an hour ago."

"Umm Gizzy? We'd really appreciate it if we could go and rest right now. We've been traveling for a while now and we need to refresh ourselves." Tiffany said.

"Of course Tiff." Gizzy said, smiling at us. "Bodil will lead you to some rooms. Have a good rest. Tomorrow, we'll talk about how we defeat the beast."

~Time Skip~

~Preston's POV~

I climbed out of the shower, feeling refreshed and clean. Drying myself off with a towel, I grabbed my now clean fire emblem hoodie and black sweatpants. Pulling them on, I opened the door and walked out into the room I shared with the Pack.

Jerome sat on the his own bed, stretching his arms and yawning. Vikk was asleep in the bed he and Lachlan were sharing, with Lachlan sitting up next to him cleaning his swords. Rob sat on our bed, reading a book. He looked up when he noticed me walk in.

"Hey Preston." Rob said, closing his book and pulling me close when I climbed into the bed.

"Hey Robby." I said, closing my eyes as I cuddled into him.

"Tired?" He asked, running through my hair.

I yawned to answer his question.

"Just go to sleep Preston. I'll be right here." I heard Rob say before I fell asleep.

~Rob's POV~

I smiled down at Preston as he fell asleep, his face peaceful.

"Can you guys be any cuter?" Jerome asked as he turned off the light before climbing into his bed.

"I don't think they can." Lachlan replied, putting his swords to the side and cuddling next to Vikk.

"Oh shut up you guys! Just go to sleep." I whisper shouted. "We have a long day ahead of us tomorrow."

It was quiet for a few seconds before Lachlan broke it.

"I still think Merome is cuter."

"Shut up Lachlan!"

~Time Skip~

"It's back! Get to cover!"

I groaned as the early morning sun came in contact with my eyes. Choosing to ignore it, I rolled over and cuddled closer to Preston. I was about to fall asleep again when a loud roar caused me to fall out of bed.

"OH MY FREAKING CACTUS ON A STICK!" Preston yelled as he fell on top of me.

"What the Nether was that?!" Lachlan yelled as he climbed out of bed with Vikk right behind him.

"I think. That might be Jordan." Jerome said as he looked through the window.

Running over to the window, our eyes widened at what we saw. A large black dragon flew above the city, firing purple fireballs at everyone. It looked like a larger version on the enderdragon. Instead of purple, a crimson red colored his wings. White lined his underbelly and the sides of his legs. Bright purple eyes shone brightly through the early morning son.

"Holy Notch." I gasped out, looking at the large dragon.

"That is definitely Jordan." Vikk said. "Look at the color scheme!"

"We can see that! Quick! Grab your weapons and let's go!" I yelled, rushing to grab my diamond sword.

The others scrambled for their weapons before following me out the door. After about 10 minutes of running around, we finally found the entrance to the castle. Wag, Tom, Tucker, and Sonja were right outside the doors, watching as Jordan landed on a building and roared loudly.

"How do we beat him? He's a full fledged dragon! He's twice the size of the enderdragon!" Vikk yelled to Tucker.

"I have no idea! We had to kill the enderdragon last time! I don't want to hurt Jordan!" Tucker yelled, raising a shield to save us from getting crushed by debris.

'I think I can help.' A faint voice said, scaring us.

"Who was that?" Tom asked, looking around.

'You of all people should know Syndicate. You and your friends.' The voice said.

~Tom's POV~

'You of all people should know Syndicate. You and your friends.' The voice said.

I racked my mind for who it could be. I didn't know any who could talk to people without being there physically. Unless they're a god or goddess...

"Ianite?" I asked, hoping I was right.

'Correct.' Ianite said. 'I have a way for you to save Sparklez.'

"How?" I asked.

A chest appeared in front of me and cluttered to the ground with a small bang.

'Inside this chest you will find the things you need. Open it.'

I crouched down in front of the chest and unlatched the latch. Inside, were Jordan's sunglasses and a white bow with four tipped arrows. I pulled out the objects and stood up as Ianite began to talk again.

'This is my bow. It was originally made for Sparklez, but will aid you in your time of need. Aim the bow for a weak spot on Sparklez' stomach.'

"But won't that kill him? I thought weak spots are what kill dragons!" Tucker said.

'The arrows are tipped. I specially made them so they wouldn't kill him. They'll only paralyze him for a moment. Enough time for you to place his sunglasses on his face. Now go Syndicate! Save your boyfriend!'

"Thank you Lady Ianite." I said as I notched the bow.

"You need to wait until Jordan's close. Preston! Can you distract him and bring him over here?" Sonja asked.

"On it!" Preston said as he shifted into his hybrid form and ran off.

"Hey! Over here you big scaly dragon!" Preston said, throwing a harmless fireball at Jordan.

Jordan watched as the fireball hit him harmlessly against his nose before he roared loudly at Preston.

"That's it you oversized lizard! Come follow the hot head!" Preston said, slightly laughing at his own joke.

Preston ran towards us as Jordan came lumbering after him. Preston reached us and stood next to Rob, his hair still flaming. I drew back the bow and let out a deep breath. Everything seemed to go into slow motion as Jordan came up to us.

"Come on ya' sausage. Show me that stomach." I said to myself.

Jordan roared as he stood on his hind legs. I searched his stomach until I found a certain spot near the bottom of his neck.

"Got'cha." I said as I let loose the arrow.

The arrow flew through the air, hitting it's mark dead on. Jordan roared in agony before falling to the ground.

'Now's your chance! Put his glasses on his nose! It will shrink him down to human again!' Ianite's voice rung through my ears.

Handing the bow to Sonja, I jumped down the stairs and rushed over to where Sparklez laid in the streets. I cautiously ran towards him and stood in front of his menacing purple eyes. Stepping forward, I placed the glasses on the end of his nose and kissed just above his lip.

"Come back to me Jordan." I whispered quietly as Jordan began to glow a bright purple.

I closed my eyes as a bright flash came from Jordan. I kept them closed, until I felt arms wrap themselves around my waist and the voice I fell in love with whisper in my ear.

"I'm here Tom."

I hugged Jordan tightly and swung him around. Jordan laughed which was music to my ears.

"I've missed you so much." I whispered to him as I looked into his crystal blue eyes.

"I've missed you too." Jordan said, pulling me into a kiss.

I kissed back immediately and hugged Jordan close. Nearby, I could hear the cheers and cat calls of our friends. I smiled into the kiss.

"Thank you Ianite." I thought as we pulled away and looked into each other's eyes again.

"Sparklez!" Sonja yelled as she came and jumped onto his back. Tucker and Wag came over and hugged Jordan as well; saying 'welcome back' and 'we've missed you'.

"I know this is a very heartwarming scene. But I do believe we have one last person to save." Sky said, walking up to us with small scorch marks on his body. "So tell us Jordan. Do you know where Herobrine put Mitch?"

Jordan's smile disappeared as he looked at all of us.

"He's in the Nether. Herobrine's kept him close." Jordan said, his voice grave and dark. "I have no clue what's become of him."

~3rd Person POV~

A knock sounded on the door, causing Dianite and Hero to stop their conversation to look towards the door. It opened up, revealing Killer with blood splatters on his shirt and face.

"What news do you bring Killer?" Dianite asked, standing from my seat.

"The Wither skeletons caught a couple of Nether miners coming too close to the base. We were able to kill them all. Their training has paid off." Killer said, smirking as he showed them the blood stained diamond sword.

"Great work Killer. Any other news?" Hero asked.

"Yes, but just one more thing. The heroes have saved Jordan Sparklez and are now on their way to save my alternate. But trust me, we're ready for them. And I have an idea."

"And what is this idea of yours?" Hero and Dianite asked in unison.

Killer motioned them forward and whispered his plan into their ears. When Killer was done, the two pulled back with devilish grins on their faces.

"That is an excellent idea. I will have the Wither skeletons prepare the materials you will need." Dianite said, walking off.

Hero turned to Killer and gave him a pat on the back.

"You did an amazing job Killer. Thank you."

Killer gave Hero an insane grin before responding.

"Trust me M'lord. It was a huge pleasure."
