(The women were relaxing on the other side of the room.)

Elsa: You two ladies, rest. I'll take first watch.

(Elsa exits.)

Eva: How come she gets to take first watch, but not me!

Alex: Well, for starters, she can see.

Eva: I know I was joking.

Alex: So do you have a crush on anyone?

Eva: Leo sounds cute.

Alex: Sorry, my brother is into someone else.

Eva: What about you?

Alex: I do like Steve.

Eva: You two should go on a date then.

Alex: I can't, not after this is all over. 

Eva: Fine, then. I'll ask him out on a date.

(Alex throws a pillow at her.)

Eva: I deserved that.

(Steve was asleep when he woke up back in the overworld.)

Steve: Huh? Where am I?

(Then he saw monsters scurrying over to him.)

Steve: What's going on? 

(He saw his wolf, Elias, and Alex's pig Alfred were killed.)

Steve: No!

(Then he saw Alex was dead as well.)

Steve: Alex! No! I never got to tell you...

(He tried to fight but he had no weapon, no armor, Steve was defenseless. Then he saw something he couldn't see, it was Erebus.)

Steve: Erebus, but how? 

Erebus: You may've killed my physical body, my spirit will still live on!

Steve: No!

Erebus: You look familiar, yes, it's a pleasure to finally meet you, Herobrine. 

Steve: Is that really my name?

Erebus: Yes, you were once the ruler of the Nether. 

(Erebus and Steve teleport to the nether.)

Erebus: This was your home before your older brother, Notch sealed you in a tomb never to be seen again. Every monster worshipped you. 

Steve: What did I do to get sealed up?

Erebus: That's a story for another day.

(They soon saw Herobrine and all the monsters of the Nether cheering for him.)

Erebus: When you were sealed up, Malacoda took charge as King of the Nether. It is you who must kill Malacoda in order to be the rightful king of the Nether.

Steve: I don't want to rule the Nether, I just want to make sure Malacoda pays for what he's doing to innocent villages. 

Erebus: And you will, by killing him.

Steve: No! (Punches Herobrine and wakes up.)

(Steve woke up on the floor.)

Steve: Huh?

Leo: He's awake.

Alex: Steve, are you alright?

Eva: Yeah, Alex said you were tossing and turning in bed.

Elsa: And I flipped you out of bed.

Steve: Uh, thanks I'm fine. Just a bad dream.

Alex: Well, we better get ready to head back to the abandoned village.

Eva: My parents won't be happy I left with the amulet.

Alex: Come on, we can sort things out with them.

Eva: You can?

Alex: Yeah, we saw how amazing you were in battle, we can use someone like you.

(The group headed back to the abandoned village.)

Lars: Eva! You are okay!

Maria: Oh, my baby!

Eva: Mom, Dad, stop! I'm okay!

Lars: You have the Amulet, right?

Eva: Safe and secured.

Maria: You've had enough adventure already.

Steve: Mr. and Mrs. Andersson. Please, let your daughter join us. She's a really great fighter. Just because she's blind doesn't mean she shouldn't live up her dream. 

Lars: I'm sorry, but no means no, I really care about my daughter and she means well.

Eva: Please, father!

Steve: If you don't we'll prove it to you. 

Lars: What do you mean? 

Steve: Monsters will invade your village and will do nothing until they retrieve the amulet. You have to let your daughter in battle so we can prove to you we're not playing.

Lars: Hmm...fine. But if you fail, then you are banished from our village.
