When I got there, I found the house was ablaze and engulfed in blue flames, Eret was trying to fend off XD when Entity 303 teleported behind him. "Eret watch out!" I called, but my warning came too late, 303 shoved Eret to the ground and pressed his foot on her back so they couldn't get up. "This is the eldest child of the great Herobrine? PATHETIC! Even your father put up more of a fight than this!" He laughed, putting more pressure on Eret's back. Eret cried out in pain and my blood boiled with rage as the scene before me unfolded.

"LEAVE HIM OUT OF THIS ENTITY! THIS IS BETWEEN YOU, ME, AND MY BROTHER, NOW UNHAND HER!" I yelled, taking Mjolnir from my belt. "Well, well, well... If it isn't Maria Power herself come to save the day... What are you going to do?" Entity sneered. "I'll show you what I'm gonna do..." I muttered, tightening my grip on the mythical hammer and unsheathing my light sword before sprinting toward him and XD.

My sword clashed with XD's, a fire burning in my eyes as I stared at the mask concealing the area where his face would be. Well, that is if he had one in the first place. True shapeshifters don't have a true form unless they are shapeshifted, they mainly appear as shadowy figures, and most originate from dark forests. "Give up Power, we both know you are not strong enough to defeat me." XD mocked. "That's what you think..." I grunted, using Mjolnir to crack his mask and send him stumbling backward, his hand coming up and grasping his mask. I swung Mjolnir at his mask repeatedly until it broke into several pieces, revealing the pitch-black mist from behind it. 

"You were saying?" I seethed. "You think that you breaking a simple mask will defeat me? You truly are a fool aren't you?" His voice echoed, no longer seeming to be coming from one specific place. "Enough," I turned to see Herobrine and the others, his eyes glowing bright with rage. "First you dare try and harm my son, then you mock my sister? I hope you realize that we will show you two no mercy..." Hero growled. "Finally! Now this is the fight I've been waiting for!" 303 shouted, throwing his hands up in the air and laughing maniacally. "Still as sick and twisted as ever I see..." Hero frowned. "Oh Hero, you flatter me..." 303 taunted. "That isn't a comment that should flatter you. But I'm not all that concerned about that right now..." Hero huffed, preparing to fight the other. "Let's dance old friend..." 303 smirked. The two pounced at each other, meanwhile some of the others went after XD. 

I rushed over to where Eret was lying on the ground, panting as he struggled to get up. "Hey! Hey! Hey! Take it easy, let me help you." I lifted Eret so they were leaning on my shoulder. "Come on, we need to get you out of here. Where did Autumn run to? I forgot to ask her myself when she called me." I inquired. "I sent her to my dad's castle in the nether, figured she'd be safe there..." Eret responded weakly. "Okay, let's go there then." I nodded. 

When we got there, the two wither skeleton guards at the front gate took one look at Eret and hurried to open the gate and let us in. I quickly rushed to get Eret inside and to the infirmary. The doctor instantly took them from me and set him on a bed as the nurse shooed me out promising they'd do their best to help her. I left the infirmary and saw Autumn dashing down the corridor toward me. "Mom! What happened?! Is Eret alright?!" She asked panicked. "I don't know dear, the nurse and the doctor told me they'd see what they could do for him..." I shrugged. "I shouldn't have left, I should have helped them!" Autumn sniffed. "No Autumn, I don't want you having gotten hurt as well, and neither did Eret that's why she had you come here..." I explained. 

We waited for what felt like an eternity before the nurse came out. "You can see him now." She nodded. "Thank you," I acknowledged, stepping past her and into the infirmary. "Maria? What happened?" Eret asked. "I'll tell you what happened young lady... You thought it was a good idea to do something stupid by trying to fight two incredibly powerful entities and ended up getting badly hurt!"  I scolded. "Sorry Maria..." Eret apologized. 

"It's alright, but you must remember that you don't need to prove yourself, especially to your father and I..." I reminded them. "I mean, I wasn't necessarily trying to prove myself to you and Dad, to be honest..." Eret shrugged. "Then why did you do what you did?" I asked. "I wanted to show the others I've changed..." She answered. My face softened at this but before I could say anything we heard the infirmary door open, Eret and I looked over to see Wilbur, Tommy, and Fundy walk in. "You don't need to do that either Eret..." Wilbur smiled. "Wil? Tommy? Fundy? What are you guys doing here?" Eret asked.

Wilbur explained how Autumn had texted Tommy with the suspicion that Eret had been trying to prove he'd changed since she betrayed them in the final control room. "But that's the thing, you don't need to prove to us that you've changed, because we already know that you have." Fundy smiled softly, sitting on the side of the bed. After we confirmed with the nurse that Eret was good we all headed back to my house.
