Once the initial shock of the hunters finding them had worn off George frantically looked around scanning the ground for Dream.

He quickly spotted him chasing the ender dragon trying to hit it "DREAM" he screamed.

Dream stopped running and looked around at the sound of his name being called.

"DREAM" George called again. This time Dream recognised the voice and his head swiveled to look at George.

As soon as George saw that he had Dream's attention he started to aggressively point in the direction of the hunters that continued to pour into the portal landing.

Dream's eyes followed George's pointing until his eyes landed on their worst nightmare.

Upon seeing what George was pointing to, Dream did the only reasonable thing he could think to do.

"EVERYONE LOOK OUT THE HUNTERS FOUND US" he screamed.

Players everywhere stopped what they were doing to look around trying to see if what Dream had said was really true.

It was in fact true and as players began to realize that panic broke out.

Their once organized battle was forced into chaos. People were running in fear, some braver fighters stayed behind in order to attempt to fend off the hunters as well as hopefully kill the dragon before the hunters got complete control over the area.

With no time to regroup and come up with a formal plan, players began to do the one thing they had been training to do - fight.

Players with bows shot at the large group of hunters gathered near the portal entrance hoping they were actually hitting people.

George followed the rest of the archers and began to shoot at the hunters. Panic was rising in his chest as Hunters continued to stream into the end.

There was no way they would ever be able to win against both the hunters and the ender Dragon. They were severally outnumbered and due to the game being on hardcore mode the Dragon was taking very little damage everytime it got hit.

George continued to shoot at the hunters making sure every shot hit its mark and no arrows were wasted, until he ran out of arrows.

He searched through his inventory searching for maybe at least one more arrow but he came up empty handed.

Out of arrows and stuck at the top of a tower George had an idea.

It wasn't much but it might give them a little more hope at succes.

George opened the chat to see deaths filling the chat. He ignored the flowing list of people who had now died in real life and proceeded to type out their last hope.

The message read out

'Dear hunters If you see this I would like you to consider switching sides. I am well aware that you have chosen to give up on getting back to the real world and would rather fight us than join us but this could be an opportunity for you. We are so close to beating the game and being sent back to the real world if you were to help us that goal would be achievable. Just think about the loved ones you have at home who have been waiting for weeks to see if you will return home, and if you don't have any loved ones waiting for you just think of the loved ones waiting for other players, think about how you are stopping them from getting home to their families. You could help someone else by changing sides and helping to defeat the ender Dragon. I beg you if you have a heart please help us.

Sincerely, GeorgeNotFound.'

George sent the message with the hope that at least one person would see it.
