Techno along with my brothers had joined my side, the others awaited with my parents the orders of what we would do. "It wouldn't be fair to fight all of you by myself.", smirked Amon. With a snap of his fingers, terrifying screams plagued everyone's ears. We looked up to see the last thing we expected in the End. "Are those Phantoms?", whispered Tommy. My hand immediately grabbed my baby brother's, he had always feared those creatures since he was a child. "They are... But you don't have to worry about them anymore, Theseus.", I whispered. Tommy's eyes glossed over before he nodded and gave my hand a small squeeze, Amon began to command the Phantoms to begin their attack on the people that had joined us. "Bastard!", growled Wilbur. Amon laughed before he summoned more creatures into the realm that began to attack our friends, I heard my father begin to shout commands. "You two reinforce our friends... Techno and I will handle this...", I whispered. Tommy and Wilbur looked a bit worried before they nodded, I watched them begin their flight back before I heard the Endermen begin to shriek. My attention went back to Amon, he was cracking his neck before he smiled at us.
"Did you know that my first choice for a vessel was your child?", said Amon. My eyes widened, Ranboo had been chosen yet Dream was the one with Amon at the moment. "Humble Dream was the one that offered me his body in exchange for Ranboo's freedom.", laughed Amon. I rushed at the creature but before I could attack I froze. Dream could die with these attacks while Amon would just find another vessel. All this time Dream had suffered from major injuries yet had recovered as if they were nothing to him. "Scared of damaging my vessel now?", whispered Amon. I was pulled back before a sword came down on Amon, Techno had begun to attack with no compassion. "Wait! You'll kill Dream!", I whispered. Techno looked conflicted and was probably thinking the same as me. Dream dying would be okay since I now had the power to resurrect the dead but the possibility of Amon taking over someone else's body made us both scowl. "I see you two have noticed my plan.", sighed Amon before he looked over at the crystal where my son was located in. He smiled before he pointed a finger at the crystal, before we could react he had thrown a spell at Ranboo. A piece of the crystal broke off before the Endermen all surrounded it, they had all gathered now around my son.
"Typical... He hasn't awoken since bringing me in here and they won't allow me to get near him...", sighed Amon. Techno let out a sigh before he fell to one knee, my eyes widened at what he was about to do but said nothing. "Oh, has the great king of Veri finally admitted defeat?", smiled Amon. Techno looked at me, his red eyes began to turn black before he gave me a small smile. "...Okay...", I mumbled. I pulled out my sword, this made Amon tense up before he laughed, Amon copied me by pulling out Dreams sword. "So you two have decided to kill Dream after all?", said Amon, blocking my attack. My body jumped back as Amon decided to take the bait, we battled until my sword left a deep wound on Dream's chest. "Damn!", growled Amon. An explosion made us turn to see Techno carrying our son in his arms. A sense of relief took over my body, Ranboo looked perfectly fine while my husband looked like he was in a bit of pain being in his God form. "SO THAT'S WHAT YOU TWO WERE PLANNING!", laughed Amon. My body shivered at the sound of the distorted laugh, I raised my sword again before my breath stopped. "Dream!", shouted George. Amon stopped and a flash of green flashed in those soulless black eyes, he slowly turned only to be stabbed chest through the chest by George. The young king was crying as he did this, I was speechless as the events unfolded before my eyes. "GIVE ME DREAM BACK, YOU BASTARD!", growled George.
Amon raised his sword but the weapon fell onto the ground next to the couple, Techno was now by my side. He began to reassure me that our son was fine before we focused on George and Amon, they were now knelt, on the floor. "I... won't... return Dream... Immortal...", smirked Amon before he closed his eyes. George began to shout curses at Amon before he looked at us, I quickly knelt next to the corpse. Something felt off, there was no way that it would be that easy to defeat a Creator. "Dark creature there...", grunted a familiar voice. We all looked over to see Regnar standing next to us, I asked what he meant before the Piglin explained that Amon was still inside the body. "He's waiting to catch you on the other side...", frowned Techno. I looked at Dream and then at Geroge who looked distraught by what was happening. I looked over at everyone who was fighting against the creatures Amon had summoned. "I'm going...", I mumbled. Techno began to protest before a roar emerged from above the Phantoms. "No way...", I whispered. A great dragon began to eat the Phantoms before blowing purple fire around. "The Ender Dragon is free...", mumbled Ranboo.
His hair was now pitch black as the darkest of nights, while his eyes were now a glowing shade of purple. "Is it because we freed you from the crystal?", I asked. Ranboo nodded as Techno put him down, he raised a hand and the Endermen began to assist our friends. "I couldn't let it be loose if you all were coming into this realm... I would have loved for it to tear Amon to shreds but then he would definitely take over my body...", sighed Ranboo. Much to our relief, Sapnap and Quackity were beginning to take care of the dragon for us. "I will sacrifice...", said Regnar, catching us off guard. I began to question what he meant by that before he explained that he and his clan would become temporary vessels to hold Amon while I saved Dream. "YOU CAN'T!", I shouted. Techno and Ranboo looked equally as concerned before two more people joined Regnar, it was his wife and daughter. They both bowed their heads before Beras spoke. "We do this... Better life... For Michael and all children.", smiled the girl as she stood up straight. Brynhilda also nodded before she took her husband's hand. "Please, allow us to serve you... All we ask is that you give our clan's children a place to live in your kingdom.", smiled the woman.
I couldn't utter a word, Techno was the one that bowed along with Ranboo, both vowing that the Piglin children would have a place to stay in the kingdom of Veri. Beras smiled before her cheek began to discolor, my eyes widened. "You guys... Are dying...", I whispered. Brynhilda was the one to kneel before me and smile. "Our people aren't meant to leave the Nether... We are failed creations of Amon... Disposed of in the Nether so we could never see the light of day or feel the heat of the sun... The last generation of children all have one human parent... They have a better chance to live in the Overworld than us...", whispered the woman. I gripped her shirt as she hugged me, it was something that had to be done. "I'll be going now...", I whispered. Brynhilda smiled before she whispered words of encouragement, I took her hands and placed my forehead against them. "I will never forget you all...", I whispered.
An overwhelming cold crawled into my body as my hands were placed over Dream's heart, the Piglins all began to chant before the cold was gone and my vision went white. I looked around to see Dream in the distance, he was hanging from some black chains. "Dream!", I shouted. My legs began to take me towards my friend before I felt my feet begin to sink into black water. My breath felt short as I went under, it felt like millions of hands began to drag me deeper into the dark icy waters. Screams and cries of many who were affected by the wars and selfishness of us as Gods. My breath was gone as my eyes looked up at the last ray of light that was shining above me.
Queen of Veri... (Y/n)... Hope... Who am I really?
"You are the New Light, child.", whispered a soft voice. My eyes widened but everything was still pitch black. I began to swim up, the hold on my legs became tighter yet I kept swimming up. "Accept it, Hope... Accept your new power...", whispered the same voice. I screamed as I surfaced, all that I could do at that moment was cough and gasp for air. I looked around to see shadows all around me and Dream, who was on the ground now. "Dream... Get up...", I coughed as I began to stand. "It's no use...", he whispered. The shadows around me began to become fewer, making me realize that Amon was arriving as soon as they all disappeared. "Damn it, Dream! GET UP!", I shouted as I began to run to him. My arms gripped his shoulders but he was slowly sinking into the abyss I had just escaped. "I'm a murderer... A criminal that hurt everyone...", he whispered. I lifted my friend's face to see that he was missing the glow in his eyes, they were lifeless and deprived of hope. "George and Sapnap are waiting for you! They will forgive you just like we all will! You saved my son and to me, you are the bravest person I know!", I shouted. Dreams eyes changed, he suddenly recognized me. "Oh, Amx... It's really you, (Y/n)... This isn't one of his hallucinations, right?", whimpered Dream as he hugged me. Dream probably thought all of our friends were dead but now he was beginning to look like his former self.
"What do you think you're doing, boy?"
My hands gripped Dream closer to me as we both heard that voice. My eyes landed on Regnar in the distance, he was the last shadow meaning that every Piglin had died and now he was the only one that remained. Dreams eyes were full of fear as the vessel walked towards us, his grip on me became tighter as we stood up. The darkness was now becoming black smoke as we were coming back from Dream's limbo. The screeches of monsters and the screams of battle resonated around us. "It's almost over, Dream... You won't be returning to him ever again...", I whispered. A sudden explosion detonated in between us and the vessel before I pulled my sword out to block Regnar. Dream looked terrified as he saw the same thing I saw, the Piglins body was breaking since he was not chosen by the Creator. Long black cracks covered Regnars body, making me want to end the suffering of my friend. "You have no vessels after this... Face me like the Creator you claim you are...", I growled before cutting Regnar down. The body became dust, almost similar to stardust that could be collected after a meteor fall. "I'm sorry, old friend...", I whispered before the dust disappeared.
"Dream! (Y/n)!", shouted George as he tackled us. I greeted him before noticing that he was covered in blood and ashes. As George held Dream, he began to give me details of what had happened when I went to retrieve Dream. The Piglins all began to attack our friends, Regnar and his family tried their best to control themselves but in the end, Regnar was the one that begged them to kill his clan. "I see...", I frowned. Techno began to run towards us before others joined George and Dream, I hugged my husband before we looked at the damage around us. Quackity and his husbands were all holding down the dragon, Eret along with Niki were still finishing the Phantoms, and my family was heading our way. "He's here...", I whispered as I looked at an overwhelming shadow. In a flash, I was in front of Amon in his true form.
"So you have taken Amx's powers, creature? You think that's enough to destroy me?"
