It was a strange parting note, strange indeed. It was like a riddle, and Duncan and I couldn't solve it. Something was screaming inside of me, yelling at me to escape this world, and I waved it away and blamed it on my insanity.

"Is he... really dead this time?"Duncan looks at me with a thousand years of bags under his eyes.

"Yes, Duncan, and you need to sleep."I gently kiss him on the forehead and let him lie down to sleep.

"He will stay dead."I whisper firmly in Duncan's ear, as he murmers something and relax."I will make sure of it."

And with that, I fell asleep right next to him, and we were in sync. Breathing, movement and even sanity. But we both knew we were both rather insane.

"DUNCAN! KIM! WAKE UP!" I was awoken by shouting, obviously Sjin.

"What? Did you chew your mahogany door again?"

"No!"He paused to violently shake Duncan, who woke with a jump."I got a note at the door, in a weird swirly writing, apparently from Lewis and..."

"What?!"Duncan and I shout in unison,"Let me read it!"

"Okay, but you won't like it."Sjin hands us a fragile paper note.

To those of the new world,

I have placed a few nukes around the world. You qould never find them all. This world is a cruel one, and now all that's left is hardened clay. There is only the four of you concious, and MInecraftia is growing colder. And since you are the only ones there, I've gotten permission from Notch to destroy this plnet and he can spend his time making a new one. You can not escape. You could survive. To be honest there is very high chance you will. But burn. Burn in hell, face chaos, destruction and death's wrath. Feel sadness, sin and grief. Twist in the dexterity of death. Where you will never, ever escape.

~Xephos, of Elipsia.

"Nukes."Duncan breathed, and Sjin nodded."Nuking a nuked world?"Duncan shook his head.

"Lewis can't aquire so many nukes in such a short period of time, not to mention Nuclear, most likely they are only conventional missiles. So Lewis could have been bluffing, after all,  he just died... Right?"I asked.

"Supposedly. But didn't he die yesterday?"Sjin questioned.

"Ah, you missed our encounter. Lewis came back and claimed he was immortal from Ridge, but I think Duncan suffocated him."I pointed to Duncan."But we don't know."

"I don't think it it our nukes that destroy the world. But us, human beings that infect this planet, starve it of neture, build collosal factories and corprations. We destroy. The explosives are just a side effect."Duncan's eyes flicker to me, then Sjin."It's worth a try to find the nukes right?"

"Yes. We need to disarm the nukes and save what remains of Minecraftia."I said, and Sjin nodded in agreement.

"Let's go!"Duncan shouted as we set off into the hardened clay terrain.

After hours of searching, and finding nothing, we head back, knowing all to well Lewis is too clever to leave them out in the open. 

"Any luck?"I ask, as the two males shook their heads.

"They have to be somewhere!"Sjin exclaims, esxasperated.

"They seem to be nowhere."Duncan replies in a cool tone, one that sent shivers down my spine. Duncan was clearly agitated.

"Where's Sjin?"I ask, as Duncan turns around to find our bearded ally gone.

"O-Out here, g-guys..."Sjin stuttered."I've f-found i-it."

We go outside to find a massive missile silo bay, and I say massive... there were around 1000 missile silos all packed together, with a nuclear reactor to power it all, it was in a dug-out crater. Scattered around the world my hat. And the weird thing was, Minty stood next to it, a red gleam in her eyes.

"It's..."Duncan started.

"GLORIOUS!"I shout and Minty smiles evilly.

"Shut it, Kim!"Sjin said as his head snaped to Minty, who was by the switch that would set it all off."Minty, don't..."Sjin pleaded."We've done enough to this world. Let it thrive."

"Minty? She's long gone. And she pleaded with me for a wish, and guess what?"

"What?"We all say in fear.

"I'm Lewis Xephos and you're all going to die." 

She laughed manically and flicked the one switch.
