Faye hissed angerly at the portal as it collapsed before them. Zander jumped to it, hoping to save Hazel somehow. His plans were no good, however. The other spiders began to disperse, not seeing any targets to munch. Faye stood by his friend's side as Zander stood, distraught, with no idea what to do next. That threat the Entity had said echoed in the young boy's ears. But he couldn't give up yet. He just couldn't! Zander snapped out of his daze when he felt the little spider tickle his leg as he climbed up onto his head. Faye then stood on the boy's head and looked down over his forehead as if asking Zander what he was going to do next. The young boy sighed as he thought of how to answer. Eventually, some words left the kid's lips.

     "Hhhh, I- I don't know what we are going to do now, Faye.. The Entities could hurt Hazel if I don't go, I just know it! But.." He thought of his parents. The desperation in his dad's eyes as he shouted for Zander to run. A tear dropped from his eye as he remembered them once again. If only they were here.. If only they were okay.. If only they were still alive.. Hhhhh, if only, if only...

><><><>Somewhere Else<><><><

...KABOOM!!!

     A massive explosion erupted from the Nether fortress standing tall above the lava. Entire walls collapsed as the building was rocked through by two very powerful beings; those beings being Steve, or Herobrine, and Entity303. The two had already been fighting for quite some time, but now it was getting chaotic! Steve's eyes emitted a lava red glow, hinting that Sparky was in there helping his brother out. Still, Entity303 was holding up like a champ, not even really being beaten that much. This 303 character was no 323. This was an entity who really knew how to handle power! 303 fought back better than both Herobrine and Sparky combined had expected. Both received a painful slam into the Netherrack floor before things went momentarily silent.

     "Heh, I find it funny how hard you two try. You really do think I can be beaten, don't you?" 303 landed near the crater and spoke with a sly smile on his face. Steve rose from the hole with flickering eyes and panted while still recovering. It had seemed like Sparky had suddenly been knocked out or something. Steve would have to rely on his own strength for the time being.

     "I just wonder why you care so much.." Steve groaned as he stood up to face the Entity. 303 only scowled.

     "Oh, you should know quite well what you have done. If you don't, then you are much sicker than even I could imagine." He growled. Steve only thought long and hard about what he possibly could have done.

     'I think this dude's just another one of those mentally insane ones who thinks everyone is bad except them.' Sparky whispered -- even though he didn't need to -- in Steve's head.

     'Yeah, but what if there is some truth in him?' Steve wondered back.

     'Just look at his outfit. Isn't that the same kind of robe Alex wore when she was evil? Do you think she may have been working for this guy a while back?' Sparky asked.

     'Me and Alex already discussed that a few years ago. She used to work for this guy I believe. Some kind of strange group. She had told me it was pretty small, however not to long ago we broke into one of their bases, and there were a lot more of them than she remembered. The Entities have only been thriving behind our backs. But, that doesn't answer why 303 hates me so much.' Steve.

     'Wait so if Alex was working FOR this guy, then don't you think whatever happened to him happened before you even became evil? And you never hurt anyone before you turned. This must be a manipulated mind then! Maybe all he needs to know is that you weren't the one who did whatever.' Sparky thought through an idea of hope; all while Steve and 303 circled one another slowly.

     "Listen, Entity, I wasn't the one who ruined your life. My sister started fighting for you just before, maybe even as, I had turned evil. So whoever hurt you, it wasn't me. Maybe it was an old player using my skin. They may not be around anymore, but they were back then for sure." Steve tried to explain away why he was innocent.

     "Nice try, but no player I ever saw were able to look so spitefully down at someone with terrifying glowing eyes that would make someone scream." 303 spat.

     'So, he's afraid of you? Since your convincing seems pointless, maybe you can try scaring him off.' Sparky siggested.

     'Hhh, maybe.. But I fear he is past that. We will probably just need to fight again, and win this time.' Steve.

     'Sooo, I guess I should use my full power then?'

     'What do you mean by that?! You telling me that you have only been using some of it?!'

     'Yeah. I wanted to save a majority on actually getting out of that white void, but, I guess I can regenerate it after we win..'

     '..Thanks, brother.'

     Then, Steve's eyes glowed an even brighter red, and red particles flowed around his entire body.
     'Okay, so I am going to do a lot more teleporting. I didn't do this before since I am only supplying the power and didn't think it would be possible to time all that stuff, but now I believe you should be able to think fast and handle it.' Sparky told his brother. Steve nodded slightly and shifted the handle of his sword in his hand.

     "Ah, so another fight is what you want? Well, another fight is exactly what you will get!" 303 smiled as if he was enjoying this. Then, both jumped at one another and the clashing of their blades sent a shockwave through the Nether. The second time, the battle was even more intense. Steve teleported around 303 at an insane pace. Sometimes he stumbled on his own speed, as if not having expected the movement, but every time it was quickly recovered. Steve stepped up his game when he started using his own newly recovered powers; creating and launching spheres of dark plasma fire at 303. After a few minutes of nonstop teleporting and fire, 303 was looking a bit overwhelmed.

     'That's it! Now just a little bit more, and we can win this!' Sparky exclaimed.

     "Rrrr, ENOUGH!!!" Entity303 shouted, sending a massive blast through the air, knocking Steve into the air and falling back down with a painful sounding thud. 303 teleported right beside the fallen man. "I've had enough of your games.." He growled. Then, the Entity grabbed his sword by the blade and reeled it back. Steve opened his eyes just in time to see the handle of 303's sword slam into the side of his head, knocking him out cold.
