Holding the enderman’s hand, Marcus is teleported into the End. Afterwards, Marcus found himself holding on to the enderman. He really didn’t like teleporting. “Hey, we’re here! You can open your eyes now.” The enderman said, holding the scared Marcus. He opened his eyes and saw he was in the End. "Heh… Yeah… Sorry…" Marcus said letting go. He looked around, seeing the cave that the Ender Dragon lives in. "Be careful, the Ender Dragon was a bit mad that you didn't visit recently." The enderman warned Marcus. "I'm sure it'll be fine. What's the worst that can happen?" Marcus said to the enderman as he casually walked over to the cave. The enderman gulped as he watched him approach the cave. Marcus looked around the cave to find that the Ender Dragon wasn't there. He searched the cave thoroughly, but nothing. Marcus exited the cave. "Where could she possibly be…?" He mumbled to himself. Suddenly, he was grabbed and lifted into the air. "Ack!" Marcus yelled as he looked up to see the Ender Dragon has grabbed him and is taking him somewhere. "Hey! What are you doing?!" Marcus questioned. The Ender Dragon didn't respond, however, he saw that she was very angry. Then, the Ender Dragon landed on the edge of the End island and held Marcus over the void, causing him to struggle and panic. "AHHH! WAIT! DON'T!" He pleaded. "And where exactly have you been? I haven't seen you in forever!" The Ender Dragon said sternly. "Please! I've just been busy!" Marcus begged. "Busy?! You haven't visited me for a week! You know how lonely it gets here?" The Ender Dragon said, lowering him towards the void. "PLEASE! I PROMISE IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN!" Marcus cried, trying to hang on to the claw that was keeping him from falling. "You promise to visit me more?" The Ender Dragon questioned. "YES! I PROMISE!" Marcus cried more. The Ender Dragon became satisfied and pulled Marcus away from the edge, pulling him into a hug. Marcus was hyperventilating and clinging to the dragon tightly. "Sorry, it's just I really enjoy your company~" The Ender Dragon said, kissing Marcus on his cheek, making him giggle. "Hehe~ I know~ It's just… I've been dealing with something lately, and it's just put me on edge…" Marcus confessed. The Ender Dragon looked at Marcus, concerned. "What do you mean? What’s been happening to you?" The Ender Dragon asked. Marcus shrugged. "It's fine! It's nothing to worry about." Marcus said. "Marcus, if something's happening to you and it's stopping you from visiting me, you have to let me know." The Ender Dragon said, talking like a concerned mother. Marcus really wanted to tell her about how Tex has been trying to kill him, even shooting him in the stomach once. But he knows the Ender Dragon, she would probably tell the endermen to tell all the mobs in the world to kill Tex. He didn't want him to get hurt, even if he's hurt him in the past, nobody deserves that. "I promise, I'm fine~" Marcus said, caressing the dragon's head. The dragon sighed. “If you say so…” She said. She held Marcus so tight that she shoved his face into her chest. “I’m so glad you’re back~” She whispered. “Here, let’s go back to my cave~” She said, stretching her wing out so Marcus could climb on top of her. Marcus eagerly mounted her, he always enjoyed riding her while she flew around. When Marcus climbed up, she immediately spread her wings out and took off. Marcus looked down from the dragon and enjoyed seeing the End from up this height. The Ender Dragon saw how much fun Marcus was having, so she decided to fly around the End a bit.  From such a height, Marcus could see so much. In the distance he spotted something glowing on top of the obsidian pillar. "What's that?" Marcus said, pointing at it. "That's an end crystal, whenever I'm hurt or wounded, these crystals will heal me like nothing happened~" She said. "Wow, could they heal me if I'm hurt~?" Marcus said, sounding a bit excited. The Ender Dragon giggled. "Of course not, I have a special type of blood that the crystal can repair~ So unless you have my blood, these things won't heal you~" The Dragon said, giggling. Marcus blushed and seemed a bit dumbfounded. The Dragon giggled more before flying into her home cave. When she landed, her tail wrapped around Marcus, and placed him on the ground, causing him to giggle. The Ender Dragon blushed and gave him another kiss on his cheek before she grabbed him and started to spoon him as she felt really tired. The entire time, the enderman was watching them. “Awww, how cute, she thinks she’s your mom~” The enderman teased. Hearing this, Marcus was confused. But the Ender Dragon blushed and glared at the enderman. “H-Hey…! Shut up!” The Ender Dragon roared, sounding extremely defensive. The enderman snicked. “Sorry, didn’t mean to embarrass you~” The enderman said jokingly. The Ender Dragon growled, but Marcus held the dragon’s head and reassured her that it was okay. The Ender Dragon smiled and laid down with Marcus in her arms. After fifteen minutes of silent cuddling with the dragon, Marcus could hear the Ender Dragon snoring. He was surprised that she could fall asleep so quickly. He carefully slipped out of her hold so as not to wake her up. When he got out, he stared at the sleeping dragon and thought she looked very cute. “Awww~ She’s so cute when she’s sleeping~” He said to himself. He took a look around the dragon’s cave and he saw some shackles hanging from the walls that the Ender Dragon uses to trap other humans. The very moment he saw the shackles, he looked at the sleeping Ender Dragon, and an idea formed in his head. The enderman walked up next to him. "Are you thinking what I think you're thinking~?" The enderman asked, a little excited. "Oh yeah~ Think you can help~?" Marcus asked. The enderman thought for a minute. At first, he didn't want to, knowing he would be in big trouble if they did this, but he knew that this would be really fun so he caved in. "A-Alright, let's do it…!" The enderman said hesitantly. Marcus and the enderman began to pull the Ender Dragon towards the shackles, being careful to not wake her up. Then, they took both of her front claws and hooked the shackles on them. Marcus couldn't hold back his giggles and he began giggling so loud that it woke the Ender Dragon. "Huh…? What’s going on…?" She said, feeling slightly dazed. She tried to get up, but the shackles holding her kept her down. "Huh?! What the-" She exclaimed. "Hello there~" Marcus said smugly. "Let me go!" The dragon roared. "I will, after a bit of fun~" Marcus said, pulling out a feather. "Wait… No! Don't!" The Dragon begged. But Marcus didn't listen and began to slide the feather against the Ender Dragon’s belly. The dragon couldn't begin to hold back her laughter. "No! Please~! Not there!" She begged as she could only laugh and struggle as the feather tickled her belly. "Hehehe~ That does look like fun!" The enderman said, going over to the Ender Dragon’s feet  and began to tickle them with his tickly fingers, making her laugh harder. "Noooo! Stop! Please!" She pleaded. The Ender Dragon began laughing so hard that she started crying from the laughter. Knowing the Ender Dragon for a while, Marcus knew that her belly was her most ticklish spot. Marcus looked over at the enderman tickling her feet. Staring at her feet, Marcus wanted them. “Hey… Maybe I can have a bit at her feet…? He asked nervously. The endermen smirked. Oh? So it’s not just piglin hoofs you love?” The enderman teased. Marcus blushed. “N-No! I just want a turn at her feet…” Marcus mumbled. Luckily, the Ender Dragon was laughing so hard, she couldn’t hear them.”Well, if you’d like~” The enderman said, the two ceasing their assault. The dragon panted for air. “Please! St-Stop!” She begged. Marcus went over to her feet. Seeing this, the Ender Dragon tried to scare Marcus by growling at him. But Marcus didn't fall for the intimidation and began to scratch the bottoms of the dragon’s big feet, making the Ender Dragon burst with laughter as the Enderman began tickling her sensitive belly. Marcus stared at the giant scaly dragon feet. He then began to rub his cheek against the scaly, but soft feet. Marcus began to tickle between her toes, making her laugh even harder. The enderman could purple tears dripping down her eyes. “Umm… Maybe we should stop? She looks like she’s gonna pass out.” The enderman said, stopping the assault on her belly. But Marcus wasn’t listening, he was too focused on the soft feeling of her feet and kept rubbing his face in them. After a bit more tickling, Marcus decided to stop and let her breathe. Marcus saw that the Ender Dragon was very tired still trying to break free from the shackles. The enderman giggled. “Marcus, do you… like mob feet?” He asked. “Wh-What? Of course not!” I was just… distracted…” Marcus said defensively. The enderman scoffed. “Oh yeah, suuure~” The enderman teased. Marcus looked at the exhausted dragon and  decided to let her free. But as soon as he released her from the shackles, she immediately pounced on him and pinned him to the ground. "How dare you…!” The Ender Dragon growled. Marcus gulped and shook in fear. “C’mon! I just wanted to have fun…!” Marcus said, giving begging eyes. The Ender Dragon stared at Marcus for a bit, in all honesty, she did enjoy it. She grabbed Marcus and hooked him to the shackles. “W-Wait! Please! It was just a joke!” Marcus begged as he struggled to break free of the cuffs. “Prepare yourself, I’m gonna tickle you till you pee your pants…” The ender growled wiggling her claws at him. Hearing this Marcus was completely terrified. The mobs would often tickle him until he passed out, but he never peed his pants from it. “Please don’t…” Marcus pleaded. The Ender Dragon giggled. “Tickle tickle~” She said as she wiggled her claws closer to his ticklish body. Marcus immediately began laughing. “Wow, look at you, you’re already laughing, I haven’t even touched you yet~” The ender dragon teased. Marcus wanted to say something, but the dragon began to tickle his armpits with her claws, making Marcus burst with laughter. “AHAHAHAHAH! WAHAHAHAIT!” Marcus yelled. The Ender Dragon didn't listen, she continued to rake her claws around Marcus' ticklish pits. If there was any mob that Marcus considered to be the best at tickling, the Ender Dragon would definitely be way up there. Marcus tried to hold back his laughter, but then the Ender Dragon’s tail came in and began to squirm and tickle under Marcus' shirt, making his laugh harder. "NOHOHOHOHOHO! PLEASE!" Marcus yelled and pleaded. "Oh,  I know we're nearing your bladder's limit~ Especially when I'll do this!" The Ender Dragon said, grabbing Marcus' ankles and began to lick and slobber Marcus' feet. Marcus was crying while he laughed, the dragon never tickled him this hard. Marcus wanted to cry, but the dragon’s endless licking on his feet kept him laughing with tears streaming down his eyes. Eventually Marcus’ vision got very blurry and he was on the very brink of passing out, but the Ender Dragon stopped before he did. “Awwww, what’s wrong? Can the little baby human not take anymore~?” The Ender Dragon teased. Marcus' face turned bright red, completely embarrassed as he saw a bunch of enderman watching and giggling at him. The Ender Dragon freed Marcus and gave him a hug. Marcus tiredly layed in the dragon’s arms and embraced her back as he panted for air. "Now, have we learned our lesson~?” The Ender Dragon asked, giving Marcus’ sides a small tickle. Marcus began laughing weakly and he began to panic. “Y-YEEES! I HAVE!” Marcus yelled. “Good~” The Ender Dragon said kissing Marcus on his cheek again. As they cuddled, the sound of a portal could be heard outside, getting everyone’s attention. “What was that?” The Ender Dragon asked. “It sounds like someone came through the end portal.” The enderman said, looking outside. Hearing this Marcus got very worried. Marcus, the Ender Dragon, and the enderman all went outside the cave to investigate. They all looked around to see who came in. After a bit, Marcus heard a very familiar voice. "Where's the stupid dragon?" The voice said. "Oh no…" Marcus said to himself. The Ender Dragon turned to Marcus. "What is it?" She asked him, clearly seeing concern on his face. But before Marcus could answer. Tex approached in front of them. Seeing Marcus there with the Ender Dragon, made him furious. "Seriously?! The Ender Dragon?! Are you some sort of king to these mobs?" Tex said angrily. "Tex…" Marcus mumbled. The Ender Dragon looked at Marcus confused. "Marcus… Do you know this human?" She asked. Marcus began to panic, he turned his attention to Tex. "Tex, please. We can't just keep meeting like this…" Marcus reasoned. "Yes we can, the more we meet, the more opportunities I get to kill you." Tex said, drawing his iron bow. Seeing his aggression, the Ender Dragon growled towards Tex and she prepared to breathe fire at him. Marcus saw the tension increasing. "Guys… Stop! Please! We don't have to hurt each other!" Marcus begged. The enderman quickly got next to Marcus. "Marcus, who is this guy?" The enderman asked. "He's just… a person I kinda know…." Marcus said vaguely. The Ender Dragon looked away from Tex and towards Marcus. “Has this human been harassing you?” The Ender Dragon asked Marcus. “He… well… I mean…” Marcus stuttered. Tex stood there in confusion. What he didn’t know, Marcus had the ability to talk to mobs and hear clear English coming out of them, however, Tex didn’t and the Dragon’s talking sounded like a bunch of random roaring. "What are you guys even talking about? Can you actually understand these guys? You traitor!!" Tex yelled. "T-Traitor..?" The Ender Dragon said to herself. "L-Look… I know how this looks… but…" Marcus began, but he was suddenly interrupted by a shock of pain in his chest. He looked down a saw an arrow shot directly through his heart. Marcus grunted and clenched his chest in pain, he looked up and saw Tex pointed his bow at him. The Dragon was stunned at first, but then seeing Marcus badly hurt, she growled and turned her attention to Tex. She gave him a furious look and began charging at him. Tex drew his diamond sword, prepared to fight. But the Ender Dragon quickly yanked the sword out of his hand and snapped it in half. Intimidated, Tex backed away, but the Ender Dragon didn't back she punched Tex in his face quickly knocking him to the ground. Tex tried to get up, but the Ender Dragon pinned him down and prepared to incinerate this human. Seeing Tex about to get roasted, Marcus desperately began to crawl towards the two, leaving a trail of blood behind him. He yanked on her foot, and the Dragon looked down at Marcus. "P-Please… Don't… hurt him…" Marcus choked out as he slowly began to bleed out. The Ender Dragon huffed and threw Tex into the exit portal, getting rid of him. Marcus signed in relief and laid on his back, his shirt soaked in his blood. "Marcus…" The Dragon said, beginning to cradle him like her child. Marcus gasped for air as his vision got blurry. The Ender Dragon began to tear up as Marcus was clinging on to life. The Enderman rubbed Marcus' cheek as he began to tear up too. "Please Marcus… There has to be hope…" The Dragon begged. Marcus looked at the big black dragon and gently scratched under her chin a bit before his arm fell to his side and he closed his eyes, laying motionless. "No! Marcus! The Dragon said shaking him, getting no response. The Dragon began to cry as she curled up with him in her arms. Enderman were all gathered around in silence, even the head enderman was speechless. 

As the Ender Dragon mourned his death, the arrow that was still in Marcus' chest jabbed the Dragon’s stomach. "Ow..!" The Dragon said, looking at her stomach to see a giant. Then a nearby end crystal quickly zapped into power and directed a beam at the Ender Dragon. The beam began to heal her and the dragon watched as the beam healed her wound. Seeing this, she turned towards Marcus' lifeless body and then an idea formed in her head. She turned toward the enderman. "Hey! Quickly! Grab an end crystal and bring it here!" She barked. "W-What are you…?" The enderman question. "JUST DO IT!!" she yelled, reaching into Marcus' backpack and pulling out a glass bottle. The enderman gulped and teleported to the top of an obsidian pillar and began attempting to lift the crystal. As he was do that the Ender Dragon took the bottle and smashed it against the ground making it sharp and dangerous. She looked at the sharp glass and looked at Marcus. "Hold on Marcus…" She whispered as she jabbed the sharp glass into her clawed hand, making her bleed a glowing purple. "Please let this work…" She said as she pulled out the arrow from Marcus' chest and placed her bloodied hand over his wound, her blood dropping into his heart. After a bit, a lot of purple blood has seeped into Marcus' heart. The enderman suddenly teleported right next to them and the crystal aimed a beam toward the Ender Dragon’s claw, healing the wound. The Ender Dragon watched the enderman place the crystal next to Marcus. At first nothing happened, the crystal suddenly began to power and directed a beam towards Marcus' body. The Ender Dragon and enderman lunged backwards in shock as the end crystal slowly healed Marcus' wound. Once Marcus was fully healed. The Dragon and enderman look down at Marcus. Suddenly, Marcus sprung to life and started coughing. Extremely dazed, Marcus rubbed his head. "What…?" He began, but the Ender Dragon immediately pounced on him and smothered him in cuddles and snuggles. "OH MY GOSH, MARCUS YOU SCARED ME TO DEATH!" The Ender Dragon wailed, squeezing Marcus. The enderman sighed in relief.  "W-What happened?" Marcus asked, clearly confused. "I… put my blood in your heart… and somehow that was enough for the end crystal to bring you back…" The Ender Dragon explained. Marcus didn't respond, all he could think about was the Ender Dragon nearly killing Tex. He didn't want him to get hurt and he didn't want any of the mobs to worry about him. The Dragon grabbed Marcus and held him in front of her. "Marcus… who was the other human…?" The Ender Dragon asked. Marcus sighed. "That's… Tex… He's a human that  I met in the nether… he seemed nice at first… but when I told him I was friends with you guys… he… tried to kill me…" Marcus confessed. Hearing this, the Ender Dragon, looked down and sighed. There was a small amount of silence for a moment. "Marcus… Do you regret… what you did with that creeper?" The Dragon asked. "Of course not." Marcus stated, gently hold her head. "I never regret what I did, I love you guys~" Marcus said, scratching under the dragon chin, getting a small murr from her. The Dragon pulled Marcus into a hug again. Don't worry Marcus… Mark my words… I will tell these enderman to protect you from this murderous human…" The Ender Dragon growled. Hearing this, Marcus started to worry, but he wasn't the only one. The enderman watched the Dragon hold Marcus closely. Seeing how this human could've died, he swore to himself that he would protect this human.
