Diamond swords clashed again, sending a resonating sound through the cavern. The only light breaking the darkness was the torch in Steve’s left hand. The diamond sword in his right flashed, reflecting the fire light as he parried one attack, struck out with one of his own and then blocked another incoming swing.
“You have no place here!” Herobrine shouted as he mercilessly swung his blade at Steve, aching to rid this world of the pitiful fool.
“I don’t know who you are but you messed with the wrong guy!”Steve did his best to counter each strike, backing up as he was forced against the stone wall of his mine shaft.
The white eyed man let out a scream of power as he swung his blade with crushing force at Steve. The adventurer tried to block but the blow hit too hard, knocking his sword out of his hand as it skittered across the ground. Holding him against the wall by his throat the man got right in Steve’s face, pure anger and hatred filling his blank eyes.
“We have met many times before…but this time you will remember my name; the name of the man who has finally killed you.” He stepped back, then lifted his leg and forced his foot into Steve’s chest, kicking him with such force that he broke through the wall of the coal mine and outside into Overworld.
Steve flew backwards, the sudden brightness of the sun forcing his eyes closed as he tumbled down the mountainside. He had been mining a small cave for coal when the white eyed man had cornered him. For weeks now he had seen him in the corner of his eye, around dark corners, following him, watching him.
Steve finally came to rest on the grass as he looked up at the hole his body had made in the mountainside. Standing there, watching him with great pleasure was his new enemy.
“I. Am. HEROBRINE!” he shouted as he jumped from the top of the mountain down towards Steve, diamond sword flashing in the sunlight.
Steve managed to roll out of the way just in time, swinging his leg out after Herobrine landed to trip him. It worked, he sent the would-be killer flailing to his back. Steve didn’t have much life left in him after the fall. If he was going to survive this then he had to act quickly.
Digging through his inventory Steve grabbed his bow, getting to his feet and running to put some distance between him and Herobrine.
“You cannot run from me Steve! You do not belong in my world, I will not be deleted and forgotten!” his voice boomed behind him as Steve ran.
Herobrine caught up to him quickly, circling the mountain where he had disappeared and found him aiming a bow at him. “You think that can stop me!?”
“Willing to find out” Steve said as he shot an arrow right at Herobrine’s head. The white eyed man tucked his body in and rolled to his side, dodging the arrow with ease.
“You will have to do better than that!” Herobrine laughed as hurried to his feet.
“I wasn’t aiming for you” Steve said with a cocksure grin. He dove behind a tree quickly as Herobrine looked behind himself.
Tucked behind a tree, just feet from him was a TNT block, the arrow now sticking out of it was on fire.
Before Herobrine could react the TNT exploded with earth shattering force. The explosion sent him flying backwards into another tree. He hit it so hard the tree snapped and fell with him as he rolled to the ground.
“Not again…” he said in a great deal of pain. Steve hurried over to him, a new arrow knocked to his bow as he stood over Herobrine.
“I told you before…You messed with the wrong guy.” Drawing the arrow back he aimed it right at Herobrine’s heart.
“No!” he reached up; trying to take the bow from him, but it was too late. Steve released the arrow.
The world went dark, not for the first time. Herobrine’s death triggered the world to reset. His body slowly came apart one block at a time, as did Steve’s. The whole world began to come apart. Soon, nothing remained, but the darkness.
The world is darkness again. There is nothing here but an endless nightmare of silence and despair. It is always this way, always this silent after I fail. But this is not how it will remain; this is only the beginning, a new beginning, a new chance to reclaim what is mine.
In the darkness of a mine deep below the surface of the Overworld something began to stir. Particles crawled across the floor of an empty antechamber, moving like a hundred insects across the stone to gather in one place. The process took only a matter of minutes before the body of a man laid unmoving against the cold stone floor. Then, the darkness was broken as two solid white eyes snapped open and the man once again rose to his feet.
A new beginning. But this time must be different, this time, I cannot follow the same path. This world belongs to me, I am its adventurer, its ruler. But there is one who has invaded my home, who seeks to rule its people and steal its precious gems. This one known as Steve has continuously risen and defeated me without fail every single time I come against him. It is only my all powerful control that saves me, deleting the world entirely and letting it reform once again. The false king will not remember me nor any of the countless battles between us. But I remember.
The newly reformed man walked from his place in the antechamber, leaving behind the place of his rebirth. With a single thought from this man his naked form was clothed in his usual attire, the green and blue that the false king had claimed as his own.
Each time I have been defeated I have only grown stronger. But I know now that even I cannot hope to defeat Steve alone. I must have an ally, someone powerful enough to help me reclaim my world. From the mountains and deserts to the mines below, I will emerge from the shadows, the true ruler, the only king of this world!
The white eyed man traversed the cave with ease, knowing every hole, every turn and every sparkle of precious metals. He had come back to this place so many times before that he could have navigated it in his sleep, if he slept. For hours he climbed silently though the mine shafts, undisturbed by the spiders and skeletons that let him pass unnoticed. Until finally he came to the place he once called home.
A mine cart track came to a dead end, abruptly stopping a few blocks away from a wall of stone. Torches adorned this wall on either side of a simple opening. Beyond the doorway was a vast empty room. Taking one of the torches from the wall the man entered a massive forgotten library. What shelves remained standing were filled with tomes as old as the world itself, the first accounts of his existence and that of the mine filled world he called home. A table lay upside down in the middle of the floor. Outstretching a hand caused the table to right itself in a hurry, a nearby overturned chair slid up to the table invitingly.
I will not fail again. This time I will be prepared for the false king. I will be unstoppable. I will be a relentless force that drives him out of my kingdom! This time, I will not only kill him, but I will make a spectacle of it, I will show everyone that I am the only true ruler. All will witness, the rise of Herobrine!
