POV 3rd person
the Ender spire, less than an hour before the largest ever assembled Ender fleet, the sculk fleet of the void, led by the void Prince, Lance, had already destroyed what few Ender kingdoms were left after the great invasion.
no the last two of the great Ender kingdoms, the Ender Watchers, and the great gateway kingdom, had gathered here, under the spire was a new bunker, it had been enchanted to prevent teleportation, but now they didn't have time to get the people down there.
only one person was down there, Freye, Sora's young sister, she was safe, or so she was meant to be, and when Lance's fleet didn't attack they knew something was wrong.
Skylor, Sora, Ceris and Vordus were staring at the sky, and all the ships were waiting there. "What is his plan?" Vordus asked.
"Maybe he's waiting for reinforcement," Sora suggested.
"no he already has a fleet capable of destroying this place," Skylor said.
"Oh no..." Ceris said, "THE BUNKER!" she yelled running.
Freye was playing with a small stuffed ender mite toy, in the large empty bunker. "I wonder how long Sora will be," she lifted the ender mite up into the air when the wall behind her exploded out.
through the smoke Lance walked out, looking around and seeing Freye standing. Lance smiled and jumped forward to grab her, but the little girl slipped out of his grasp and behind some boxes.
Lance jumped to his feet. "Bloody Brat!" Lance said pushing the box past but Freye wasn't behind it, Lance looked around, and there was a stack of three boxes and several more boxes around the room.
it was clear to the void prince that this bunker hadn't been finished, only this main chamber, with the rock the walls were made of it, made it impossible to teleport, and with all the doors closed he knew she should be here somewhere.
the stack of boxes fell, landing on Lance and pinning him to the ground, the void princess made yelp as Freye hopped up in front of him, Lance looked up anger written on his face as the young girl leaned down and tapped his head.
"Tag your it!" Freye said smiling happily.
both of Lance's eyes turned black with luminous blue eyes, as he forced the boxes off him and stood above Freye
Content Warning: Child death
Sora rushed down the stairs, further and further, Ceris close behind her, as they entered the spire Lance's arm began to attack, But Sora didn't care about that right now, her sister was in danger.
she was too late, Sora froze when she saw Lance standing there, his eyes were dark as he loomed over the broken beaten body of a small girl, blood dripping from his hand, Sora couldn't move, couldn't breathe.
Ceris stopped next to her, her face was riddled with shock.
Lance looked at his hands and fell to the floor, his face changed, horror overtaking his face as he tried to crawl away from the blood on his hands, screaming to himself. "oh gods!" he kept repeating, his eyes changed the Sculk leaving them.
Sora charged forward and grabbed Lance by the neck, starting to crush it, but Lance didn't care as two wardens stumbled in and Lance clicked his fingers the two wardens falling apart. "I surrender," Lance stuttered out.
"It's too late for that!" Sora yelled into Lance's face.
Ceris put her hands on Sora's shoulder. "Sora, this is not our way, the council will decide his fate,"
"HE KILLED MY SISTER!" Sora yelled. "HE NEEDS TO PAY!"
"and he will just not like this," Ceris said
Sora dropped Lance and collapsed next to Freye, and just laid there.
Content warning: Scene over
a few weeks later
a small group had gathered around the portal, leaders of the end, and a few others, Lance wasn't in rope, he didn't need it, he wanted this, he had gone too far and he knew it, standing above the portal, Lance looked over to Sora.
she was glaring at him, tears in her eyes, clutching the ender mite teddy in her hands, she hadn't put it down since the funeral, and Lance hated himself so much in that moment.
"Lance!" Ceris started. "as the ruling of the council you are stripped of your title of void prince, and banished from this place until death or such time as the council decides you are worthy to return,"
Lance didn't speak, he just stepped forward by himself and fell into the overworld.
many years later
Sora stood there, staring at the ender mite teddy, Skylor walked behind her. "Sora...this has gone too far, we...we need to stop,"
"We stop when the Exile is dead when Freye is finally able to rest in peace," Sora said picking up her sword, and attaching a note to the Ender mite toy. "if he doesn't surrender himself to us," she lifted her sword to the neck Ceris neck.
"Sora...this could mean war, the ender watchers would come down on us," Skylor said.
"then let them come," Sora said picking up the toy and teleporting it away, into the room of Crystal and Charlie, leaving the ender mite next to the plush of the ender Gorf before leaving again.
Crystal walked in and screech changing into dry clothes after the snowball fight. "Crystal," Razer called into the room. "apparently we're wanted,"
Crystal turned and saw the ender mite and picked it up before gasping and rushing out to Razer to and rushing him to find Lance.
