Moments after defeating Dreadlord for the last time, the three siblings walked toward the school again. Kira and Prokaz were supporting themselves against Ashley while Kira carried Betty on his back. The girl had passed out a minute or two after the skeleton warlord had exited her body. As they walked through the streets, they passed Neala's new dead body. Her multiple deformed heads were all in agonized expressions.
"So... you and Tristen took care of... that?" Kira asked.
"We... yeah. Not gonna say it was easy." She looked down at her brother "I'm sorry that was how she had to go down."
"No offence, but I think she uh- she kinda wanted to die," Prokaz replied "That looks really painful, just living in that... I don't even wanna call that a body."
"I mean... while I was... you know. She was constantly convulsing. Probably painful." Kira leaned his head against Ashley's side.
"Speaking of pain... you two alright?" Ashley suddenly asked.
"Yeah... just a little tired," Kira replied.
"Same here... you?"
"I'm fine, let's just head home already." She noticed Betty beginning to wake up, but she didn't tell Kira, just kept walked.
She lifted her head up off of his shoulder and looked around, obviously disoriented. When she saw that she was safe, she closed her eyes again, and went back to sleep. The city was still on fire because of the war that had been being fought. Black, dusty bones were scattered all around the streets. As soon as Dreadlord was destroyed, his skeletons all fell apart. As people tried to return the city to a state of habitability, the three siblings walked back to get into their world.
"So... what do you guys wanna do when we get back home?" Kira asked as he kicked the door into the school "I wanna go to bed."
"I agree," Ashley replied "All I wanna do when we get back is crash on my bed. I have not slept in days."
Kira laughed and almost lost his grip on Betty while he replied "Yeah... knowing you, you'd just sleep for a week or two. Waking you up is an absolute... bitch." Prokaz chuckled as well as the three walked through the halls.
When they got to the gym, Kira slowly set Betty down onto the floor in front of Avery. He looked up at her and nodded before teleporting over to his siblings. The three looked ay one another, then back at their new allies in Cyber Dog's world. One by one, the three turned back, ending with Kira, who stared at Cyber Dog for a few seconds longer than the other two.
"Alright guys... you ready?" Prokaz asked his new found siblings "I wanna start rebuilding The End."
"Let's go home," Kira replied as he closed his mechanical fist.
"I love you two," Ashley told her brothers "Time to go." She flipped the switch on the cannon which charged up a red ball of light in the barrel "Wait... what the hell-"
"Get down!" Kira exclaimed as the cannon fired and he rolled to the right and the other two jumped to the left "What the- oh... god!" The three got back up and saw a gigantic four armed enderman.
He was clearly not a Void Walker because there were particles flowing out of his eyes instead of his mouth. In his top right hand he had a gigantic battle axe over his shoulder. He turned and glared down at the three and gave them all a grin.
The three were all equally unnerved by the expression but Kira seemed to be more determined than the others. He lit a flame in his biological hand and a bolt of lightning in his mechanical. Prokaz and Ashley saw this and prepared to fight in their own ways. Prokaz  jumped, forming a dragon skull underneath him. He raised up into the air and summoned three more of the skulls. Ashley melted part of the floor and turned the lava into a dragon that she stood on top of.
"Isn't this funny?" Vordus asked "If you children think you can win, you're mistaken." He swung his axe down onto the floor "You remember our last fight?" He asked as he pointed to Kira.
"Yeah...?"
"Well, this axe gives me more power, you will not be able to beat me. I will kill you like I should have last time."
"You know what?" Kira asked "I'm not even gonna ask why you hate me... nah. Why do you hate me, why try to kill me?"
"Oh trust me, I hate all three of you. You commited genocide of all skeletons. If I kill you three, then maybe no more genocide will ever happen again."
Ashley took a step back on her dragon's head "Geno... what are you talking about?"
"Oh... you don't know?" Vordus asked her "Poor, oblivious girl. That skeleton was who was keeping all skeletons up. You kill him, you kill them all... again." He looked at all of the children "You see? None of us are truly good or bad. Dreadlord was trying to eliminate their bloodline." He moved his axe and pointed at Prokaz since he hadn't addressed him yet "These three were unknowingly trying to commit genocide." He swung his axe over his shoulder again "Maybe now you'll look at them a little differently." Noah looked at Aiden who just shrugged.
"Man, I gotta move out of this god damn town," Noah told his friend.
"I agree... welp, I'm out!" Aiden walked out the door "Seeya guys! Good luck with that fight!"
"Okay..." Vordus watched the boy leave "Listen, I have no quarrels with any of you, so if anyone wants to leave, as, whatever that boy's name has showed, the door's right over there." Surprisingly, only a few people ran away "Alright... as for the rest of you." His axe's blade heated up with a purple glow, then he blasted the doors, welding them together "You're all stuck here with the four of us."
"Well... I guess if they're stuck here with us..." Prokaz looked at his siblings "Why don't we give them a show?" He took his blade out from the sheathe on his back "Alright. Ashley, you and I will go after him! Kira, you make sure they don't get hurt!" Ashley rode the dragon toward the corrupted endrian while Kira created a shield of lightning around the group, letting them see the fight while also keeping them safe.
Ashley stopped a few feet away from him and lifted her hand up into the air. She stretched her fingers and melted a large chunk of the ceiling into a bubble of lava. She closed her fist and turned the bubble into many tiny lava spikes.
"Man! My girl's got like... a thousand spikes!" Noah yelled as she threw them at Vordus.
"You really think this'll work?" He asked as he used fire from his axe's head to redirect the lava into the ceiling.
"Wait! So, what is that? Fire axe ex-machina? What?" Noah asked as Vordus shot another fireball at Ashley.
She used a wing to blocked the fireball, then waved the wing when the ball exploded. She waved away all of the smoke and saw him charging up another attack. He swung his blade behind him, then up, sending a wave of fire at her.
"That thing's like, instead of the master sword we have master axe." Kelvin laughed at his own joke
Prokaz flew forward on top of the dragon skall and flew toward the flame. He glared at the fireball, then took his sword off of his back, and pointed it at the flame. The dragon opened its mouth and it sent a beam of energy at the fire. The beam was dissipated and the flame kept coming at Prokaz.
"Nope," Prokaz said as he teleported off of the skull, letting the flame hit that instead of him.
He appeared behind Vordus and summoned a few bones, then threw them directly toward his spine. Vordus heard the attack coming and teleported out of the way. He reappeared above Prokaz and swung down at his head.
"Oh," Noah said before a ball of lightning knocked the axe out of his hand, then a fireball knocked the giant enderman away as well "This is intense boys!"
"Wait here," Kira told them.
"Well, I don't we were trying to go anywhere with your over dramatic..." Kira disappeared before Anton could finish and he used his pyromancy to blast a hole in the ceiling, or more accurately, destroy the entire roof and ceiling all together.
"Oh it's going down," Avery said to her sister, who was just waking up.
"Vordus! Bet you didn't see this coming!" He sent dozens of lightning bolts down at him, electrocuting the four armed endrian as well as paralyzing him for a few seconds "Ash! Now!" He yelled.
"Right!" She used more of the roof to create lava stars, then she threw them all at Vordus.
"Interesting attack," He admitted as his axe head glowed purple again "But, not too difficult to block." He used a wall of flames to block the lava, causing an explosion to blind them all for a moment "Now try this on for size." He swung his blade behind him and created a long rope made of fire from the blade of his massive weapon.
"Wha... what even!?" Noah exclaimed as he swung at Ashley, but the girl leaned to the right, dodging "This is cheating!" Vordus teleported "This is just- oh!" He reappeared above Ashley and before anyone could do anything, he cleaved off her right arm from the elbow down.
Ashley let out a scream and fell to the floor, clutching what was left of her arm. As she got back to her knees, she looked up to see him preparing for another swing. She was about to roll out of the way, but he swung before she could move.
"I can't let you do that," Someone said above her as the swing was blocked "It's time we start the bad time."
