~ 3rd Person PoV ~

"Lord Herobrine. Is everything alright?"

Herobrine stopped pacing immediately to stare at General Enderman, who took a step back. He laughed. "But of course I'm okay. Why wouldn't I be okay? Is there a reason why I should not be okay?"

The General knew better than to answer that. He knew Lord Herobrine locked himself in the throne room last night, and judging from all the noise and explosions and a scream from his blaze servant, he wasn't okay.

Herobrine continued pacing. "I mean, sure, my idiotic brother is back, and in his precious city, and Katherine spoke with him and the council,—" he turned to the General. "—am I missing anything else important?"

When he didn't respond, Herobrine urged him. "Go on. Speak."

"W-well, he did send her to... Bladville... Sir."

"Bladville!" Herobrine hit his hand against his forehead lightly (facepalm). "I had forgotten! Our only possible non-mob ally may just convert to their side, of course!" He sighed. "But really, what am I worried about?"

"I'm not sure." General Enderman admitted. "You still have a better chance than them."

"Right?" Herobrine laughed again. "I still have my army, my commanders, my spies, my powers, and the boy."

The General hesitated. "Are you sure he can handle this? He's only a child."

"I raised him as a baby." Herobrine said, walking toward the balcony with his hands folded behind his back. "Trained him, injected power into him, taught him—" He gave General Enderman a wicked look. "— do you doubt me?"

"Not at all." Yes.

"Good." Herobrine looked down at his army. He stared into space, thinking. Then, he sighed. "Things got more difficult, but not impossible. They are entering a dangerous city. A city that I control. And no one even knows it."

He turned back to General Enderman. "Gather some of your men. Make sure she doesn't get to Bladville that easily. Sometimes, people— or things — need a little push."

General Enderman nodded, and disappeared.

Herobrine turned sideways with one hand on the railing, about to walk away. "Try to prepare yourself, Katherine. But you will never be ready for me."

Day 2 of the 3 day trip. I had officially calmed down during the night sleep, and I was completely okay.

But those people made me mad. It just felt completely unfair that they were judging me. I guess everything just built up over time and I wanted to take my anger out.

So I just kept quiet and stared out the window most of the time. No one really bothered to start a conversation with me, except Infinity.

"And then I said, 'You don't really want to be alive, do you?' And then I beat him up." She laughed to herself. She then frowned when I wasn't laughing. "Come on, Kat, these are the jokes."

"Sorry." I turned from the window to her. She traded places with Jake so she could chat with me. "Just feel depressed."

"Seriously?" She raised an eyebrow. "That wasn't even a good quarrel. My idiot brother didn't even let you hit them."

"Hey!" Jake said.

"The point is, you didn't do anything, so there's nothing to be sad about."

"Still. They made me angry, and it makes me feel angry with myself that I felt angry, and now I feel sad because I was angry." I looked down.

"You're on a roller coaster of emotions." Gordon chuckled nervously. I glared at him and he awkwardly turned away.

"But...." I slowly winced. "Guess I just gotta suck it up."

"Right." Jake said. "Because we still need to discuss Bladville."

"I suppose I'll be reasonable this time." I sighed.

"And me as well." He chuckled at my look. "I wasn't being very reasonable either." 

"How do you think the city is going to respond to us coming?" Abby asked.

Mastermind thought for a few seconds. "The people of Bladville... I've never been there, but I've heard that they are loyal to their government."

"Perfect." Skye groaned. "Loyal to a corrupted government."

"They may act hostile, so we need to be on our guard." Mastermind warned.

"Don't trust anyone." I agreed. That's what Notch said with the politicians, but I didn't know he meant about everyone else too.

"Are we getting in over our heads?" Jon asked in a low voice.

"We'll have to find out for ourselves." Abby said.

All of a sudden, the train jerked. Everyone on my side (Infinity, Jake and Abby) tried to hold on, but Abby and Infinity flew forward. Gordon caught Abby, but yelped as Infinity "accidentally" slammed her fist into his stomach. Gabriel started barking.

"Sorry." Infinity grumbled, but she didn't seem like she meant it.

"Why me." Gordon groaned.

Abby moved away from him. "Thanks."

"What was that?!" Jake said.

I heard a bunch of loud footsteps, and someone screamed. Instinctively, I pulled out my sword.

"Come on!" I stood up and ran to the door. "People might be in trouble!"

I opened the door and looked out in the hall. People were running about, and I could hear screams in rooms.

I ran down the hall.

"Kat wait!" Someone said behind me.

When I got into the dining cart, everyone was panicking, either running and yelling or just not knowing what to do. Everyone was wide eyed and kept looking around.

"What's going on?!" I exclaimed.

"We're being attacked!" Someone yelled.

Someone else added, "The conductor!"

I didn't know exactly what they meant, but I guessed it was bad.

I turned around to where the front of the train was and started running there. When I was near the room, Jake and Infinity came out.

"Conductor, hurry!" I slipped in between them and ran to the front. I heard someone huff, but footsteps followed me.

I sprinted through hallways of people, and 3 more cars. Finally, I made it to the front and opened the door.

The curved stone room was covered in buttons and levers at the front. A glass window showed that we were running through a tall mountain biome, the track going either on mountain tops or through them. Right now we were going through them for a while. The conductor was lying against the right wall, dressed in overalls and a cliche hat. He was clutching his stomach and coughing.

I knelt down. "Are you okay?"

He looked up at me. "Endermen. On the roof.... Plan to blow up the train."

I started to get up, but he grabbed my wrist. "The train... needs to be controlled. Otherwise.... too much power."

I nodded and turned back to my friends. "Anyone know how to drive a train?"

Jake stepped forward. "I can try."

"You're gonna need some help." Mastermind stepped forward as well. They both looked at each other and nodded.

"I'll stay down here and make sure everyone is okay." Abby said, almost sadly. "Not much I can do up there."

"Protect the people." I agreed, and ran to the ladder to the right. I climbed up, with Infinity, Gordon, Skye, and Jon behind me.

Opening the trapdoor, I climbed up cautiously. The wind whipped my hair as I crawled out and stood up. I gasped at what I saw.

Around 20 Endermen were on the top. Some were placing tnt all over the roof of the train, with the others guarding them. There must've been at least 50 pieces of tnt in a long trail on the roof.

"HEY!" I yelled.

All of them stopped and stared at me.

(Great, now I have 'I'm Sexy and I Know It' stuck in my head. >.<)

"Well, well, well." One walked forward. He was taller than the others, maybe 5 blocks tall. I could tell that he was respected because the others were giving him a lot of space to go through. Plus, ya know, he could talk. He had a deep voice that almost sounded like he was humming. "If it isn't Katherine Moone."

"Well well well." I mocked him. "If it isn't a talking Enderman. Got your growth spurt, I see?"

He chuckled. "Allow me to introduce myself. I am General Enderman. General of Lord Herobrine's army."

"So what are you doing here on a train? Shouldn't you be bossing people around and making them salute you?" Infinity sassed.

"Afraid not. Herobrine himself sent me to make sure your little trip isn't so easy."

"Nothing can ever be easy can it." Gordon groaned.

"I think we can handle it." I bluffed. "How's Skellyzilla's arm healing?"

"Lieutenant Skeleton's arm is fixed, thanks to my Lord." General Enderman smirked. "I would love to keep chatting, but, unfortunately, I must blow up this train."

"...Really?" I stepped forward. "You could've said any explosive-themed pun, but you decided not to?"

He tilted his head. "What?"

"Like, 'you all are going out with a bang', or 'time to blow the roof off of this place'. But you decided to be lame and go straight-forward."

"Gee, those puns are the bomb." Gordon snickered.

"Pretty hard to missile them." Infinity laughed.

"What are you doing." General Enderman frowned.

Jona added on, "Can't you see we're having a blast?"

"I'm literally threatening you all and the lives of innocent people on this train, and you want to make puns?" He sounded annoyed.

"Come on." Skye said with a serious look. Then, he cracked a smile. "These puns are booming."

General Enderman growled slightly. He turned to an Enderman. "Light it!"

The Enderman pulled out a flint and steel, but Infinity shot an arrow at him and he disappeared further down the train.

"CHARGE!" General Enderman said.

"Get the tnt!" I yelled back.

Everyone charged in the middle and clashed. I jumped the gap between cars, dodged the Enderman and ran right through to the tnt. I started slashing through as much as I could. Then, with a blow to the side, I was knocked off my feet to the right, almost falling off the train.

"Oh no you don't." General Enderman walked toward me.

Skye came in and tried to slice him, but the General teleported away.

"I got him." Skye grinned. "Destroy the tnt."

I nodded and got up, running for the tnt. An Enderman teleported in front of me. I switched on my fire sword and swung it. He stepped back, and I sliced at his arm. He hissed as the fire consumed his arm, and teleported away. Wuss. I continued running down the train.

I finally slashed the last tnt, and turned around to run to my friends on the other side of the train. From what I could see from there, Skye was owning this Enderman, destroying him easily and moving on. Gordon was battling an Enderman with a diamond sword, and he was surprisingly good at pvp. Infinity was battling one, but another appeared behind her. I was about to call out, but Jon swung at it with his pick axe, which actually did a lot of damage.

Faster than I thought, I made it to them and joined in the fight, attacking an Enderman. He swung at me with his arm, but I ducked and stabbed him in his stomach. It took a second, but then he disintegrated.

Infinity was getting double teamed, so I sprinted over and sliced at an Enderman that was behind her. She turned around and grinned at me, then went back to her fight.

I finished off the Enderman, then went over to Jona, who was getting targeted by a group. I jumped and stabbed an Enderman in the back. As the Enderman fell down, I knelt on its back. It opened the circle and I jumped in, going back-to-back with Jona. He glanced at me, then turned back to duel two Enderman. I swiped my sword in front of the other two I was facing, and they stepped back. I charged toward one and sliced at him, but he disappeared. Somehow, I knew he teleported right behind me, and I nonchalantly stabbed him without looking. I heard a hiss and smiled.

I forgot about the other Enderman, who was about to swing at me. However, a pick axe appeared out of nowhere and decapitated him. The pick landed on the ground, so I picked it up and turned to Jona behind me.

"I believe this belongs to you." I handed him the pick. "How'd you get rid of your people so quickly?"

"Just skills." He grabbed the pick. But I swear that I saw him put something away in his inventory with his other hand.

Before I could question him, he ran off to help Gordon.

I looked at the train tracks ahead, and my stomach dropped. General Enderman was on a bridge about 600 blocks away, 50 blocks above the ground, with tnt on the bridge. He lit it, and teleported away. The bridge blew up with a blast that I could barely hear. Debris fell to the ground below, and the smoke cleared, leaving a large gap And we were heading straight toward it. I wasn't sure if we would die, but if we didn't, it would be a heck of a fall.

"Guys! The bridge!" I yelled to no one in particular, burning out my sword.

I ran toward the trapdoor and climbed down quickly into the room. Abby was next to the (still down) conductor, and Jake and Mastermind were at the controls flipping levers and pressing buttons.

"Guys!" I yelled again, making them jump and look at me. "Brakes! The bridge is out!"

"Gimme a second!" Mastermind looked around.

"We don't have a second!" I climbed back up the ladder.

I came up just in time to see Skye ninja attack the last Enderman. He was practically a blur as he whipped around it and sliced its legs. The Enderman disintegrated.

"Yeah!" Infinity fist pumped the air.

Just then, the entire train jerked again. I flew toward the front, and almost fell off, but I grabbed the edge at the last second. I could see everyone inside the room look in alarm as I was hanging helplessly off the front. Jake (the dummy) tried to reach for me through the window.

Someone grabbed my hand and tried pulling me up.

"Holy Notch you're heavy!" They groaned.

Infinity.

"Gordon get your butt over here and help!"

The pull was stronger, and I finally climbed back onto the roof.

"Thanks." I said, while laying down and staring at the sky.

"Why are we stopping?" Skye asked.

"Ummm maybe because there's a huge hole in the bridge." Jon informed.

"Yeah." I said, getting up. The hole was about 350 blocks away.

"Are we gonna make it in time?" Gordon asked.

"No."

We turned around and saw Mastermind climbing out. Abby was already on the roof along with the conductor. Jake was climbing out.

"We need to break the front cart off of the train." Mastermind said again. "Everyone get off of this roof."

"How are we going to cut it off?" I asked as everyone jumped the gap.

"Stand back." He said. He walked to the gap. He held up his hand and, right in front of my eyes, grew metal over it and hollowed out the middle. He turned his hand into a cannon. A freaking cannon.

Before anyone could react officially, he aimed down and shot a glowing bullet. He shot another one, and the train broke off. The front one went slightly faster, but the rest of the train wasn't going slow enough.

Infinity sighed. "Must you always one-up us."

"We're still going to crash!" Skye exclaimed.

"So this is how it ends." Gordon said solemnly. "Abby, I want you to know that I lo—"

Abby shushed him. "Shut up boy."

I glanced around, looking for anything I could use. I looked into my inventory. 4 diamonds? No. Book of gol— I mean, butter, history? No. Sword? Not this time. 2 enderpearls? Those could be useful. But how?

Then, it hit me. Just as the decapitated front of the train flew off the bridge and broke on the ground below, leaving behind a small explosion.

"Abby." I turned to the builder. "Do you have any blocks?"

She nodded. "Of course I do. What do you need? I have wood, stone, dirt—"

"Wood is fine." I said quickly. I needed something that could break easily, but was tough enough to hold something together.

As she handed 32 oak wood planks to me, Jake frowned. "Kat, what are you doing?"

"Something crazy." I faced the front.

Realization dawned on his face. "Oh no." He said in a worried tone. "Don't do it."

"It's the only way."

"I can think of other ways, really."

"Nope. Too late." I chucked an enderpearl further up the tracks.

"Kat!" Jake yelled.

I saluted to him as he reached for me, and then I was in a different place. A massive headache almost made me double over, but I sucked it up and stood up.

I was down the track further, maybe 100 blocks near the hole. The train was racing toward me.

Not thinking a bit, I started placing blocks on the track. After a reasonably sized wall, I jumped over and ran a little bit away. I then placed another assortment of blocks, going as fast as I could. Finally, I jogged further and used the rest of my blocks on a bigger and thicker wall.

I looked at my work, then ran toward the train, which was nearing the first wall. I stood on top of the second one, and chucked an enderpearl high in the sky.

Yes, I knew I could probably kill myself from another batch of enderpearl damage, but it was a risk I was willing to take.

The train hit the first wall, and the blocks flew everywhere as the train ran through. However, it was clearly slowing down.

Just as the train was about to run me over, the enderpearl landed and I was teleported onto the roof behind everyone.

The pain hit me. I felt like I was on fire. I was about to throw up. The corners of my vision were shading black.

Everyone looked at me.

"Worked." I croaked out as I fell to my knees.

"Oh Kat you are an idiot." Jake said as everyone ran to my side."

I took one second to smile and wink at him as darkness engulfed me, and I blacked out.

~ General Enderman's PoV ~

As the child threw her enderpearl, I cursed. I knew exactly what she was doing.

Yes, she was making walls to block the train. But would it work? She was risking her life for her friends, and people she didn't even know. Why? Did she even realize how important she is?

I wondered if Lord Herobrine would want me to save her. She must live. But how can I just teleport to her and put her on the train with her friends? I'm supposed to be the enemy.

She tossed another enderpearl when she was finished. Too late now.

"What are you doing." I hissed to myself. She was committing suicide. Two enderpearls in a row without armor is too much to handle.

She landed the pearl. The train hit the second wall. It wouldn't make it to the broken part of the bridge.

She collapsed on the train, and it hit the third wall, officially stopping. She saved them.

"Why is she doing that...?" I said again, but more thoughtful this time, like I was asking myself that question.

As her friends crowded around her, one of the girls, Infinity, looked around the mountain tops. Then, she spotted me. She glared at me for a good amount of time, and then returned to her friend.

My plan may have failed, but she didn't die. At least, I didn't think she would die. Maybe.

But now they know Lord Herobrine is aware that they are going to Bladville. They are going right into his territory.

~<>~

Woo hoo action!

But seriously, what's gonna happen now? They're stuck in a mountain biome with no train or anything.

Don't worry, that wasn't the question. The question is: Which do you like better, Mineshafts or strongholds?

Rock on, my little rebels.
