Without thinking, I reach up and catch the pearl. Bad pops into sight with the little purple particles, and I take no hesitation in kicking him off the edge. I then throw the stolen pearl at the cage of the last crystal, teleporting into the iron bars and falling next to the crystal.

I destroy it instantly, nearly falling off the tower as the explosion goes off. That's when I hear three pops, and all the hunters are standing directly behind me, each one holding a diamond sword and the three of them sporting strong iron armour.

"How did you all get that?" I question, however the answer I am met with is them sprinting at me. I shout in surprise, before slipping off the edge. I fall through the air, screaming internally, before I remember the boat that I built. I pull it from my inventory, and I position myself in it, moments before I hit the ground.

The sudden stop of momentum jolts my system, however I take no actual damage. I thank the Minecraft team for that 'secret', before breaking the boat and running. I take out my own diamond sword, before I hear three enderpearls land behind me.

"Leave- me- alone!" I shout back at them, running closer to the edge of the End island. I have no pearls left, and I don't have the space to kill any endermen, so I just plan on jumping off and building. Hopefully there's enough blocks hanging over for me to do so.

No. They'd be planning for that.

"He's going to the edge, block him off." Sapnap informs.

"Go on Dream, enderpearl away," George teases. "Like the wimp you are."

A wimp? I am a bit of a wimp, aren't I? Running away from these people who I call friends... instead of facing them head on like I usually do.

That's it.

Time to stop running.

Time for me to truly be the Dream that everyone knows me to be.

I can win this.
