Minecraft 2: Herobrine's Rise

Chapter 9: The Big Fight Part 2

(Alj)

I suddenly realized why me and Aaron grew up without parents - we lived on our own. I also realized that Herobrine did all this: the disappearance of our parents, our destiny's cause, our dark past. And now we had Herobrine on front of us.

"Aaron!" I shouted.

He turned to me, and I winked. "Let's do this together!" I said.

He smiled. Then we charged, swords ready.

Uh, wait. Almost charged.

"Boys," Ameli called, then approached us. She held something like light in her hands, then pressed it against our chests. "There. I gave you the power of flight," she said.

We flew up to Herobrine and started attacking.

We slashed Herobrine's weak spot, his chest. Yes, we knew that the only part that can be wounded is his chest. We simply followed our teacher's advice: "Aim for Herobrine's heart!" We actually vowed that we'd reach him someday.

While we attacked Herobrine at close combat, Ada and Ameli shot beams from their staffs at Herobrine. Lucio was with us, at close combat. Xylis called her friends to help and told them to go as a substitute just in case someone gets injured.

(About an hour later . . .)

Herobrine was charging up. I could see this because I saw some aura multiplying up.

"Careful," Ada warned. "He's charging up for Sonic Boom!

And Herobrine exploded with a booming sound.

We covered our ears. Aaron didn't. Still with my ears covered, I called for him. Turning to me, he shouted, "Alj . . .this is for us all."

I watched. There was nothing I could do but watch. I watched as Herobrine exploded, beams coming out of his body.

"Careful, my heroes!" Xylis warned. "He is performing Holy Wave!"

"Is that a chain attack?" I shouted.

"Yes," Ameli replied, looking crestfallen.

And suddenly, a blinding light shot out from Herobrine. It was so bright, I fell.

Aaron was the only person in my mind at that point. Even when I blacked out.

"Alj, Alj!" Lucio said, shaking me. I opened my eyes.

The light in my eyes was fading away. I could see the others now, even Xylis and her friends. The temple was also clear to my eyes. "Thank Xylis. She helped you heal," Ada said.

That was when I noticed that the orb on Ameli's staff has shattered. Ameli read my thoughts. "Don't worry, it will regenerate," she said.

"Ah, am I lucky for my eyes," Xylis said. "Alj, you were blinded by Herobrine's Holy Wave. Its light blinds everyone, except for us spiders and the Light elementals, such as your friends. The wave also destroys the user, so Herobrine is gone." Then she stared at me with sad eyes. "Sadly, for now."

"What happened to Aaron?" I managed.

"Well, Aaron is . . ." Ameli quieted down, and pointed at her back.

I looked on. There was Aaron, unconscious. I ran to him. "Aaron, come on!" I said as I shook him.

Xylis shook her head. "I am sorry. Your twin brother is in a comatose state. It might take a few days or months, but I doubt it."

I felt tears filling my eyes. Ameli held my shoulder. "Don't worry, Alj. I know a way to make Aaron heal."

She was smiling as she said this, and her smile made me feel better.
