the price of victory

Skylar's pov

We all headed twords where Dead came from. He explained what happened, and honestly dad was really mad. He kept muttering to himself as we followed Dead. When we got to the center of the war Notch, the Wither, True, and Sky were there, standing in front of Entity. Sky looked at us with tears in his eyes. I looked behind Entity and saw why. Herobrine was laying on his back, blood pooling around him, multiple wounds on his chest. His head facing away from us. From what I could tell, he was dead. "Entity, you have terrorized these world's for far to long."

Entity turned around, facing the god. "Oh Notch, finally deciding to show your face again? Bout time, I was getting sick of waiting." He looked directly at Sky and glanced over his shoulder. "Beautiful sight ain't it Sky?" He asked gesturing behind him at Herobrine's body.

Sky said nothing, but glaired at Entity. I looked back at Herobrine and noticed his chest slowly rising and falling, but just barely. Ok, he's not dead yet...but that doesn't mean much...he could die at any moment....Entity frowned when he spotted J next to me. "What? Did you really think I was just going to let you have my daughter and my son?" Draco growled standing protectively in front of the three of us.

"Didn't seem like you minded too much Draco, I mean, you did let me have them for a few years...so I didn't see a problem with it." Entity said pointing to J and I. J growled and so did our father.

"You took them, I didn't allow anything."

"But you didn't stop me, did you?" He smerked and dad hesitated.

"Like you gave him a choice?" J shot. "You brought us here and kept us hidden from him, no matter his efforts. You turned us into Enderbrines and took away our families. Not just ours, but because of you, Sky, Deadlox, Truemu, Skylar, and I all grew up away from our fathers. And what's worse yet, they had to be whipped of their memories and weakened of their powers just to protect them!" Entity tried to speak but J spoke up first and took a step closer, against dad's wishes. Her eyes started glowing bright purple, she extended her wings and slashed her tail back and forth. "You made Sky's own father touture him and forced his powers back, just so you'd have more control. You turned families against each other and attempted to rip them apart. And for what? To get back at Notch for something he did hundreds of years ago?" She chuckled. "Way to hold a grudge."

"How do you know all that? I thought...."

"I gave them each an option to remember. I allowed them to keep their memories and powers if they chose to. Sky, Skylar, Deadlox, and Truemu all chose to forget. They feared it would pain them too much to continue. J decided that even after what you had done to them, she decided to remember, she said she just couldn't forget. She didn't want to." Notch said also stepping closer.

True and the Wither stepped up next to them and the rest of us did the same...all but Sky. He stood there, eyes glowing brightly, staring at his father. Sky shook his head and growled. "It doesn't matter! What happened in the past is in the past, now my patience has worn out with you! Either fight us, or leave these dimensions for good. It's your choice." I shivered at the sound of Sky's demonic voice. He had snapped.

"Is that a challenge?" Entity asked sommoning a sword. "Well, since I don't surrender, I guess we'll have to fight."

I sommoned another weapon and everyone else did the same. "Now the true war will begin." Notch growled as an emerald sword appeared into his hand.

Entity smerked. "Oh, now let's make this fair....just me...and him." He said pointing at Sky with his blade.

Notch went to argue, but Sky stepped forword. "If you want to die that badly, then so be it!"

Entity smiled. "How would you like to join him Sky? I'm sure your father missed you very much."

Sky's pov

I growled at Entity. The only thought going through my head was one word. Revenge. I didn't care what the others thought. I didn't care what they said, I was going to fight him. Alone. "No way! We're not going anywhere!" Skylar shouted behind me.

"Yah, you messes with us all, so now you face the consequences." True snapped.

I looked behind me at everyone. They all had looks of determination in their eyes. They all stood tall even though they would all be killed. Every last one of them....I turned back to Entity. "If you want to kill me...."

"Then you'll have to go through me first." Dead said standing next to me.

"Me to!" Skylar and True shouted at the same time. They both jumped next to me, along with Notch, Draco, and even the Wither. J stayed behind us.

"Oh? Is that how it's gonna be?" Entity snickered. "Fine, be that way." He growled.

J teleported between Entity and me. "If you want him so badly, then I guess you'll have to kill all of us." She growled. She was now in her full Enderbrine form. Her eyes were glowing white and her black wings seemed to have grown slightly.

"Don't forget Enderbrine, I still have control over you."

"Not anymore."

I walked closer, everyone else on my heels. Entity stepped back, almost stepping on my father. "I AM SKY, LEADER OF THE SKYARMY, PRINCE OF THE NETHER!" I shouted, my voice booming through the air. "SON OF THE MIGHTY HEROBRINE, YOU ENTITY, HAVE CAUSED FAR TOO MUCH PAIN AND SUFFERING, AND I WILL BE THE ONE TO END IT!"

Entity smiled and spun his sword in his hand. "Good luck with that."

I growled and charged at Entity swinging my blade at his chest. I hit my target, and he stumbled backwords. Entity shook his head and attacked everyone else. He took down all the leaders with little effort, and only took a few moments to bring each of them down. I attacked again, this time with help from J, Dead, True, and Skylar. We managed to pin him to the ground and knock his blade from his hand, after only about an hour of fighting. We were all hurt, some worse than others. I was healing quickly, and so was Skylar. True wasn't hurt to badly, but he could be better. "J, you ok?" Skylar asked, looking over at her sister, who was making sure the others were still alive.

She looked from Notch's body. "Yah, why?"

"Well....I mean....you're not healing..."

"So? Nor is dead or True, but you don't seem to worried about them." J replyed pointing to True.

True finished tieing up Entity, who was growling and trying to escape. Shouldn't he be able to get out of that?

Nope! We put some....special handcuffs on him.

"DEAD! WHAT HAVE I SAID ABOUT GETTING IN MY HEAD!" I shouted.

He smiled and failed to hold in his laughter. "Sorry, couldn't resist."

I glaired at him, then smiled. I glanced down for a brief moment and frowned. Skylar looked at me and put a hand on my shoulder. "He'll be ok. When Notch gets up he'll..."

"He'll what? Save him? Heal him? Do you really expect Notch to do anything to help him?"

"No, but....he should right? I mean...after all he went through don't you think he should? If not for him...then what about for you?"

"And why would he do that?" I growled.

"I mean, he can't be that mean, can he?"

I sighed. "He hasn't helped us in the past...why would he help us now? He only saved us so he wouldn't have to deal with this thing." I gestured to Entity who glaired at me but didn't move to attack. I walked over to my father's body and sat down next to him. His blood staining my clothes. "13 years.....for 13 years I've lived in fear of my own father. For 13 years, I've lived in a lie, weeped over the wrong things. And missed the wrong people. For 13 years, I hated my own family." I heard my voice crack as I wispered to myself. My friends closing in around me. "And now he's gone. My own family gone...."

"Sky.....I'm sorry...." Dead whispered kneeling next to me.

"Don't be, it's not your fault."

We all stood in silence. The war was over. We had won....but did we really? Look at how much we had lost. Millions of recrutes, so many friends....family. Gone. Yes, the war was over, but can you really call this a victory?
