Kira was using his spear to walk through the netherrack, dragging the tip through the gravel like ground. They knew the weapons were near the Nether Bastion, they just didn't know where. Serenity was blowing away the red rubble with her pyromancy. Cyber Dog swung his scythe through the rough rubble, but they still found nothing. Ashley used the lava around them and lifted it up, trying to see if the weapons had been pulled in, but nothing. While Ashley still found it a bit hard to use her powers with just one hand, she made do with what she had.
'At least he didn't kill me then,' Ashley though to herself as they continued to search 'Prokaz... I'm sorry, brother.' She shook her head and opened her eyes, noticing that she was about to fall into a pit of lava "Ah!" She jumped, trying to backflip, and landed, having to use all three appendages to keep herself from falling.
"Ash! You alright?" Kira asked as he rushed over to his quite literally handycapped sister.
"I'm... whew. I'm fine," She got back up and looked back at him "Just still getting used to not having an arm."
"Alright," Kira sighed "I just don't want to see you die... I don't think I'd be able to stand that." he started to laugh, which started to worry Ashley "I'm pretty sure I'd just go insane and destroy anything I saw. But, in what world is that gonna happen?"
A long way away, on another chunk of the Magma Ocean Shore
Endermen and enderwoman were using smaller scythes to churn the gravel, then others with shovels would dig. As they got less and less progress, Vordus grew more and more impatient. He let out a loud yell that could be heard for miles. Kira looked up, thinking he heard something... then decided it was probably a ghast in the distance or something. Vordus looked back down on his army and they all began to work faster.
"Get this done!" He yelled at them "We need those weapons before those children find it! Go!"
The enderians all continued to work, now realizing that world conquering madman's army may have not been the best choice for a career. Well, now they were stuck there and they continued to work, not wanting to face Vordus's wrath. Little did either party know they were both the same distance away from the weapons. They were all moving closer and closer to the weapons, but the children were moving quicker. They were more impatient than most endermen or women.
On the other side of the Lava Ocean's Shore
Ashley used her spear to cut through the gravel a little ways away from Kira. She looked over at him and noticed something seeping into the corner of his eyes. She saw a hatred inside of him, a burning anger that almost scared her. She looked away and went back to attacking the ground. Serenity blasted away from where she had been standing. The weapons were nowhere to be seen, so she looked over at Cyber Dog. He lifted a huge chunk of netherrack, but they were not there either. He noticed she was looking over at her, then shook his head. He dropped all of the red rubble and they continued to search. As they walked, Kira unsheathed his sword, and stabbed it into the ground. He ran with the two weapons in the ground, making sure he didn't miss anything. By the time he was finished, it looked like they were trying to start a farm. Ashley used her power to make a huge crater in the lava, trying to find the weapons. She came up empty, no matter how far out into the lava she went.
"Seri, are you sure they're here?" Kira asked.
"Yeah, I remember the bastion in the distance and this huge sea of lava," She replied "They've gotta be here."
"Seri, have you ever though of how big those bastions are? Or how long this shore goes on for?" Cyber Dog asked "We could be looking on one side, when the weapons are miles away from us... but, at least we know where they are... to a certain degree."
"Yeah... I really doubt Vordus knows where they are," Ashley replied as she looked up at her younger friends and brother "He's only been around since Hybrid was born, actually, I think he was born a little after Dread threw away his weapons. The villagers found them, just buried them in The Nether. The possibility of finding two weapons in this gigantic shore, that's extremely small, but we have a better chance of finding them, than Vordus. He may have thought they were in you village, but they're here. We know, he doesn't-"
"I told him they were here," Kira replied, reminding his sister of the village's fire "I said that because we weren't using them for anythi... oh!" He finally realized what she meant "I said in The Nether, I never said where- oh! Now I get it."
"What was that?" Vordus asked himself as he and his army looked up "What was that sound..." He scanned the area, but then he noticed them "Oh... my god. Them... again!" he snarled, then he slammed his axe on his chest, which caused him no damage "Everyone! Enough digging here! It's time we find out from the only known survivor of that fight where these weapons are!" They looked when his axe was pointing and saw the four "Get them." They all dropped their tools, which Vordus didn't understand seeing as how the children were all very dangerous, but he didn't really care either way, he just needed those weapons, honestly he didn't care at all about them dying, he just needed the weapons.
Vordus watched as his army teleported toward them, since they had a range that they could teleport, they had to gradually get to them. He just stood, watching as the children didn't notice what was coming for them, until Ashley looked up.
"Uh... guys?" She called.
"Yeah!" Kira replied without looking up from where he was digging.
"I think Vordus knows we're here."
"What do you mea-" Suddenly, Cyber Dog and Serenity looked up and saw the army approaching "Oh god!"
"Endermen! Everyone get down!" Serenity yelled.
"Grab hold," Kira told them "I'll get us out of here." They grabbed him, Serenity grabbing his robotic hand, and they all disappeared in a puff of purple smoke.
When they reappeared, they were inside the bastion they had been digging near. When they reappeared, they saw an enderman starring at them. He didn't attack them though and he bore no weapons, he just looked confused.
"Uh... hi," Kira started "Are... uh, are you with Vordus?"
"Vordus? You mean the resurrected Enderian king?" The enderman asked "No, I live in The Nether. He can go suck a ghast for all I care. What can I do for you, though? I know my way around pretty well."
"Uh... oh! Do you know where weapons may be hidden?" Cyber Dog asked "A sword and a spear? Look like they were made out of bones? Does that sound familiar?"
"Sorry, doesn't ring a bell," He said "But we do have a stash of weapons we find here. Maybe we may have what you're looking for."
"Wait... how can we trust you?" Kira asked "You could be leading us into a trap."
"Look, I get that you're suspicious of endermen, which is kinda ironic, Kira, but would I lead you into a room full of weapons and just leave you there? I don't wanna die, so I'll just take you, and you can look for what you need."
Kira lowered his blade and sighed, then replied "Fine, but I swear to god, if you turn out to be working for Vordus, I'll kill you next time we meet without a second thought."
"Your reputation is definitely well deserved," The enderman sighed "You have a deal, just come with me." He grabbed them and teleported into the room "Arlight, now I'm gonna close the door, cause I don't need those filthy piglins trying to steal all of these." He walked out and closed the door.
Kira and serenity lit the torches on the walls and searched through everything. The group found tons of weapons, axes, bows, arrows, spear, swords. There was everything that could make up an arsenal, but not the weapons they needed. After ten minutes of search in the long hallway, they were about to leave, when Kira noticed a shimmer of something.
"Hey, wait," he told them, to which they all looked back "I think we found them." They walked to the very end and found the weapons, just as they remembered them, haunting memories flooded back into their minds, but still, they had what they came for, and they were on step closer to ending the wars... for good.
