Game Over

Chapter 19

When getting into The End, Agent Mick, CyberDog, and Avery were looking around. While a bunch of endermen had come into the Physical World, most had stayed in the computer. They walked in a group, making sure to stay alert on all sides. While they were walking, CyberDog noticed that it was particularly hazey at this point.
"Does it uh... does it feel a bit... misty, to either of you?" He asked as he waved his hand through the air.
"That's, yeah that's true," Avery replied, her newly fluorescent pink flying through the air as she turned her head "It also smells-" She let out a cough "Smokey. What happened here?" They kept walking.
"What did you two say those A.I.s did here?" Mick asked as he loaded his pistol.
"They're all technically A.I.," CyberDog replied "But, Vordus, the leader, brought back Dreadlord in spirit form."
Mick looked back at him and just mumbled "Uh huh. Well, that Kira kid was supposed to be here." He looked around "All I see is fire and destruction." They looked around "The thing is though, I don't think there are any dead people around. Kinda unsettling."
A moment after he said that, the group heard the very distinct sound of Endrian teleportation behind them. They slowly and fearfully turned around, seeing the spirit of Dreadlord. He looked the same as he used to, although now he was translucent. They all got ready, Avery and CyberDog in fighting stances and Mick aiming his pistol. They were so focused on him that they hadn't noticed the four armed Ender king teleport a little bit in front of the ghostly skeleton.
"Whooh! He's a lot bigger than I remember," CyberDog said.
"So... that's him, huh?" Avery asked as she looked at her friend.
"I... yeah."
"CyberDog999, Avery Orami, Agent Mick. It's good to see you, although there is someone missing," Vordus said, his words echoed almost instantaneously by Dreadlord's spirit "Ah yes. The saviour himself. The child who helped Herobrine destroy the dreaded entity. So where is he? Where's the final Sendo?"
"We don't need that kid!" Mick exclaimed, even though he didn't believe what he had just said, and Dreadlord could sense this.
"Hahahahahahaha!" He laughed, then he took a breath with his nonexistent lungs before "You really think you're in control here?" he asked "Your confidence is impressive, but misplaced. We can not be defeated, not with the futile little resistance of yours."
"Our confidence may be kind of stupid," Avery replied calmly "But it's all we've got at this point." She looked back at the boys "We have to try." The three nodded to her, then looked back at the two "Let's finally end this."
"Team!" Mick yelled into the communication link in his ear "It's time." White beams of light shot down from the sky causing Dreadlord and Vordus to look up.
When the beams disappeared, they saw a few dozen military soldiers and police officers. They were all glaring at the two monsters in front of them. All of them had heavy arms and either diamond or Netherite armor. The police commander and Officer Picks stood beside Agent Mick. When Picks stepped next to Mick, he looked back at his friend.
"You sure you're up for this?" He asked "You're still limping."
"If I'm gonna save my family and let them see another day, then I'm ready to kill some walking computers," He replied as the two looked back at Dreadlord and Vordus.
"Hey Dad," Avery said to the police commander.
"Avery, when we get out of this, you're gonna tell me about all of this," Her father told her "Cause I'm kinda curious."
"I will, dad," She replied "I'm looking forward to ending this."
Dreadlord and Vordus glared at their army, somewhat surprised at how many of them there were. Dreadlord looked at Vordus and nodded. The king nodded back and swung his axe's blade into the ground. When the axe broke through the ground, the first of many endermen teleported next to Vordus. The next appeared next to the first, then the next appeared next to Dreadlord. When the next appeared behind Dreadlord and Vordus, the sixth appeared a few feet behind Vordus.
"Look out!" Avery yelled as she pointed to an enderman that teleported onto a wall of another building "How many of these guys are there?" She looked back and saw almost a hundred Endermen behind the two commanders "I will reiterate... how many of them are there?"
"I think these are all of them that are left here," Mick replied "So this is our last stand, I guess."
Vordus glared into CyberDog's eyes as both armies stood on opposite sides of the city and the boy said "Okay, what the fuck?"
"There're gonna be a lot of deaths tonight," Picks told Mick.
"I know... so we make sure it's worth it all."
Mick began to walk forward so Avery and CyberDog walked in the same speed. Vordus watched as Dreadlord began to walk with their army toward Mick's. The army watched as the black creatures walked toward them, preparing to go to war. Suddenly, Mick let out a yell and they all began running toward the endermen. Dreadlord took in the sight for one last time, then he began running toward the final resistance. Vordus stayed standing where he was as he watched his army charge.
When the two armies met, CyberDog jumped and tackled Dreadlord to the ground. Avery ran over them and punched an enderman in the chest, then blocked a strike to her nose. The rest of the army reached the battle and the real fight for The End began. Endermen teleported throughout the battle and gunshots flew through the air. An Enderman hook punched a soldier, knocking her to the ground. He was about to attack her again, but a police officer shot at the black creature. He instinctively teleported away, letting the officer help the soldier back up to her feet. Mick shot a few shots at Dreadlord's ghost, but he just dodged with ease. He sent out a wither skull and blasted Mick through the air. CyberDog used his telekinesis to lift up and enderman and threw him off the island. Picks shot a few bullets at Vordus, but he just used his fireballs to blow them up. Endermen with Elytra Wings began using them to pick up people and drop them either onto the endstone or off of the island. A soldier charged at Vordus, but he simply grabbed the man, and threw him through a building, not moving from where he stood. Another group of people shot down from the sky and entered the battle, but there were still not even close to half of how many Endermen there were. Serenity was dealing with two endermen at the same time. She shot a fireball at one, then jumped, and kicked the other with both feet while in the air. Mick was getting ganged up on by endermen as he shot bullet after bullet at them. The projectiles caused the endermen to teleport away, giving him room to move. A sniper took a shot at the battle below, but he failed to notice a flying enderman until it was too late. He looked up and saw the enderman before being kicked off of the building, to his death. An officer was running down an alleyway, not paying attention to her surroundings. Suddenly, she heard something teleport next to her and the last thing she ever did was scream. Two more snipers were knocked off of a building, but they put up more of a fight than the first.
Back in the physical world, people were being taken into refuges until the A.I.s were taken care of. All people knew about the Endermen was they were from a computer. Naturally people began calling them A.I.s, which Endermen didn't take gracefully. They took out all of the anger that had been being built up since their imprisonment in The End out of the people of Earth.
Back in The End, the battle was still raging on and both sides had numerous casualties. People were being thrown around, Vordus had entered the battle instead of just watching. Mick shot an enderman in the head, killing it. He knew that even hitting one of them was a miracle, but killing one was even better. CyberDog grabbed an enderman, then threw him toward Avery. She jumped and kicked him toward Serenity. She looked back and killed the black creature with a well placed fireball. Tommy smiled at the two girls, then someone tackled him into the air. The two grappled until the person threw CyberDog onto a roof.
He looked up and said "Oh! It's been a while since I saw your ugly skull!" He jumped up and got into a fighting stance "Let's go, asshole."
He ran and punched at Dreadlord's chest, but he silently backed up, dodging the strike easily. He jumped over another, then kicked CyberDog in the chest. This knocked CyberDog back, although he stopped himself with his telekinesis. He lowered himself back to his feet and charged at Dreadlord again. He grabbed the wrist of Dreadlord when he punched at his chest. He punched the user in the stomach, then roundhouse kicked him in the jaw. He turned and fell onto the roof of the building, landing on his stomach.
"That all you got?" he asked as he got back up, breathing heavily.
"No... but I think more people would be apart of this." With that, about four endermen teleported next to him.
"Alright." CyberDog got into a battle stance "Let's go!"
One of them jumped over him, causing him to duck, and another enderman kicked him in the nose. He stumbled back and was hook punched by another enderman. He looked back and was punched in the back of the head by another enderman. Dreadlord watched for a minute as he was pummeled by endermen, then he teleported away.
A soldier was running toward another, but an enderman teleported next to her. He punched the soldier to the ground and took out a knife. He was about to stab her, but the soldier she was running to shot at the enderman. He looked back at the soldier and teleported away. He held out his hand and the soldier on the ground grabbed it. He pulled her back up to her feet and nodded to her, then the two ran together through the battle.
Back in the Physical World, a group of soldiers were running down the sidewalk. They kept their eyes on the cars that were hurrying to get out of the city. A police woman was directing people who were getting out of the city. The roads were chaos and people were as dangerous to themselves as the endermen were. People were crashing into each other as they tried to leave as quickly as possible. A soldier on a balcony looked up and saw more of the flying endermen. They swarmed the people with weapons and picked the off one by one. As more people went into refuges, the two police officers guarding the entrance to looked up to see the endermen flying through buildings. The buildings fell over and a few people running into the subway never made it in before the building crushed them.
Agent Mick ran into a building when he made sure no one was inside, then he said into his intercom "General, I need your best sniper!"
"Why?"
"Just give me your best sniper!"
"Zachury, he'll be on the building in the center of the island, top floor balcony."
"Thanks. I'll go to him." He ran out of the building and went up to the top floor of Dragon Spire, which unbeknownst to anyone else is where Kira was.
The boy was on the roof and no one was going up there aside from a few unlucky elytra endermen. He quite literally tore them with his robot arm apart for coming near him. A soldier was looking around while running through the city. He should've been looking in front of him however and was grabbed by an enderman. He held him by the throat and puller him into a knee to the stomach. The enderman spun and threw him through a wall. The enderman teleported into the room and grabbed the soldier by the neck. He pulled him off of the floor and slammed his back against the wall. As he choked him, a female officer silently came up behind the enderman. She shot at the back of his head, but he teleported away, in his panic, dropping the soldier. She knelt down to the soldier and attended to his wounds.
"Thanks, Amy," He said.
"Thank me by not dying," She replied with a grin "Come on." She grabbed his arm and helped him walk by putting her shoulder under his armpit.
On the top floor balcony of Dragon Spire, Mick got up to a soldier with a sniper rifle and asked "Zachury, right?"
"Yup," The soldier replied "general told me you were coming, Mick."
"Good, now listen, here's what I need from you." he handed him the bullet "I need you to shoot the leader with this. Get a killing shot."
Zachury looked down at the metal thing and asked "What's the deal with this bullet?"
"The kids who I came here with made it. They tested it on every creature in this world and it could kill anything if shot in the head. Yes, that's how things work in our world, but we don't know what goes on in this world. I've been told this isn't the biggest battle to have ever been fought here." He looked up into the sniper's eyes "Remember, make sure you have a clean shot."
"Alright, the leader is the one with for arms, yeah?"
"That's right. I'll try to lure him into the building-" He pointed to the closest building to Dragon Spire "And you take the shot. We only have one of these, so remember, completely clear shot."
"You can count on me, Agent." He saluted "Let's end this."
Mick nodded, then ran down the stairs back to the main battle in the streets while saying into his intercom "Mark, Noah, get the machine ready."
"Mick? You're still in Minecraft. How the hell are we supposed to-"
"Mark, just get the machine ready!" Noah interrupted "He probably has an idea on how to get that... thing, back into our world so we can blow it the hell away."
"Fine... we'll get it started. You just focus on getting him out here."
"Alright, you two stay safe."
"We're not the ones fighting endermen," Noah pointed out, then Mick's com went all fuzzy "Well... that's not good."
"I know. Let's hurry, we don't know how much time we really have."
"Good point. You get up onto the roof, I'll do the whole computer stuff."
"On it."
Mark ran to the balcony of Tommy's house and jumped, grabbing the edge of the roof. He tried to pull himself up, but the mist was making the roof a little slippery. Noah looked over and saw him dangling, so he went over. He pushed his feet and this caused Mark to be able to get onto the roof. He rolled onto his back and pushed himself up to his feet. When he got back up, he walked carefully over to he tarp over the hole in the roof. He pulled it back and revealed what was beneath the hole. While he did this, Noah was getting the machine ready and active. He pressed the keys on the computer and pressed the space bar to activate.
Inside one of the refuges, a few families were huddled in a corner with two police officers standing in front of them. The officers had their guns out and were protecting the people. Outside the refuge, there were also heavily armed soldiers to stop any endermen. Suddenly, one of the windows were shattered and one of the little girl's screamed. An enderman jumped into the building and one of the officers immediately shot at him. The enderman calmly teleported on top of a book case in the library they were in. He was shot at again, but this time he teleported closer to the families. He was about to reach out and grab a person, but he was shot in the shoulder. He screamed out in pain and looked over at where the bullet at come from. One of the soldiers outside had come in and seen the enderman. Because he was injured, the black creature teleported away to heal himself.
Mick ran into a less chaotic part of the city, trying to find the building he had pointed to. He was suddenly knocked to the ground by an enderman, then two more teleported next to him. Mick got back up and ran behind a post, then started to fire at the endermen. They calmly teleported out of the way and one kicked his onto his back again. He fell against a wall and lifted his gun back up, aiming at one of their head. Another of the black creatures kicked the weapon out of his hand and the other punched him against the wall again. He sat back against the wall and the endermen began to attack him, when suddenly two users came in and helped him. A pink haired girl wearing a sirt that was a little too small kicked an enderman off of him. Following her was a boy in a black shirt and brown pants who tackled another of the creatures and threw him off of the agent. Avery grabbed his gun and began to shoot the creatures, killing the two they had attacked and causing the last to retreat.
"Mick, get up!" CyberDog yelled "We know the plan. Avery, you stay and hold them off while the two of us go after Vordus."
"Alright, I don't wanna have to deal with that monstrosity anyway."
"Yeah... I only know one person who really does." The two ran as Avery held her ground.
CyberDog jumped and made himself float over a railing while running. Mick saw this and leapt over the railing with little effort. They got into the building where Mick had told Zachury he'd be at, they got to a floor where he could have a clear shot. When the soldier saw them, he gave a thumbs up and Mick nodded.
"Do you see Vordus anywhere?" CyberDog asked.
"Yeah, the four armed beef cake down there who's throwing people around." He pointed down to the massive black creature who was quite literally throwing people through the air.
"Cool... then I'll get him over here." CyberDog jumped down and lowered himself down to the ground, then he ran through the battle and yelled "Hey!" At Vordus "You want a fair fight? You can fight me! Come on!" The Enderman threw a soldier away and began to slowly walk toward CyberDog "Oh... I didn't think this through." He turned and began to run back to the building.
As he turned and ran, Vordus began to slowly walk after him, keeping his eyes on the young user. CyberDog ran toward the entrance he had seen first. Before he made it however, Vordus teleported in front of him. He used his bottom right arm to hook punch him in the jaw. CyberDog fell to the ground and back up on his side. Vordus reached down and grabbed CyberDog by the throat, then threw him down a few feet away. His back slammed against the ground, but this gave him time to get back up and keep moving. He jumped and grabbed the rail, then swung himself over the metal beam. He ran to the doorway and looked back to see Vordus just a few inches behind him. This startled CyberDog, causing him to run even faster. He jumped over a box that was in front of the door, but Vordus teleported in front of him with his four hands behind his back.
"How are you everywhere!? Oh yeah, teleportation." he jumped and grabbed a pipe, proceeding to climb up it while Vordus simply watched.
CyberDog looked down and saw that he was just starring up at him, making him feel uncomfortable. Did he know about their plan? No! No! That wouldn't be possible! He couldn't know about the bullet. He kept running through the building and he felt something appear behind him. CyberDog didn't look back and simply just kept running. Someone kicked him in the back and he fell against the wall. He looked back and saw Vordus raising up his top left fist, so he moved. The fist broke through the wall and he slowly and calmly turned his head to glare at him. The way he moved seemed almost uncaring, which made CyberDog a bit uneasy.
'I think it would be bit less scary if he had emotion on his face.'
He rolled on the floor and jumped back up to his feet, trying to get to the room with the balcony. He found another balcony and levitated himself up to the next floor. He looked down and didn't see Vordus, so he turned and walked. Just as he left the balcony, he heard something heavy fall on it. He turned quickly and saw Vordus just staring dead at him. He showed no emotion, almost as if a puppet. He ran away from Vordus toward Mick as the giant enderman silently walked toward him. He ran past Mick who was holding his gun ready. When Vordus saw the weapon, he stopped and put his hands behind his back again.
"Well... congratulations, Agent. Congratulations indeed." Mick held his gun toward Vordus's head "Now that you lead me here, let me ask you this. What is your plan?" Zachury kept his eyes on Vordus's head, trying to make sure he didn't miss "Leave." He sent a fireball at CyberDog, blasting him through the wall behind them "Now... the only ones here are you and I now, Agent Mick." He still held his gun to Vordus's head "You really think you can win? I am only beginning. Once this battle is over, I'll go and take over your world. Nothing any of your soldiers can do will stop me." He gestured with his bottom right arm as the two circled one another, ending with Vordus's back to the balcony "Take a look outside. All of those people are dropping, aside from the little girls. If you think about it, it's sad how much stronger two children are than grown adults." Zachury took the shot and the moment before it hit, Vordus teleported, letting the bullet hit mick in the stomach, then he reappeared and scoffed "That... was it!?" His voice sounded more like a crazed version of Dreadlord's "That was... all, you've, got!?"
He used the fire he was able to manipulate to lift himself into the air. CyberDog looked up and saw him float a few inches into the air. He pushed himself up and flew toward Vordus, but he just used his top right arm to backhand him. He went flying through the wall again and laid still on the ground. Vordus turned his attention down to the battle below them. For every enderman falling, five soldiers fell with him. He looked back down at Mick, who was glaring up at him. He used his pyromancy to begin to melt the supports of the building around them. Mick looked up and saw the beams begin to burn away, the building beginning to collapse. He looked around at his soon to be tomb, then closed his eyes, and accepted what was about to happen. The only problem was... nothing happened. Nothing fell and Mick looked up to see that even Vordus had vanished. It was most likely when he though the burning building would crush Mick. He looked up and saw that the fire seemed to be holding the building together.
