While weeks passed Bionic became good friends with his new allies. The two hybrids and the crazy looking guy. But at the same time his brother became sick in a fever, and he didn't get any better it seemed. Woofless did everything he could, using his knowledge of flowers to treat Lester and taking care of him while the others found food.

"Is he any better?" Bionic asked as he came back to the camp in the flower forest, where he and his brother had decided to join up their camp with the others. The river was close by still and they only had a few things to move while the others had a lot more stuff.

"I don't understand what is wrong with him, according to all my censors he should be fine. He doesn't even have a fever anymore" Nooch explained to the younger. Bionic scanned his brother, like so many times before, he couldn't find anything either. Lester just began coughing once again.

"Get him something to drink" Woof spoke, Bionic quick to follow the orders and getting a water bucket filled with cleaned water to his brother, putting it to his lips. While he drank something came up in the robots censors.

"Herobrine is poisoning the forest" Nooch spoke, Woofless standing up straight.

"What?" Pete's voice came from their tents.

"I think he figured out most of us is hiding in here, he is trying to poison us. My radar is showing his flying machines coming over the whole wild, letting out poison in the air" Nooch continued, looking frightened.

"What? How?" Woof asked, his eyes wide.

"The Hydration Nation have had those potions for million of years, but we haven't been allowed to tell anyone" Pete chipped in, frowning deeply, which looked quite funny for a slime.

"Do you think someone might have?" Nooch questioned, looking up into the sky like he was preparing to see the flying machines.

"Herobrine must've known already" Bionic pointed out. "Both he and Notch always knew everything" he then added with a sigh.

"Yeah, he has spies everywhere" Woof agreed with a sigh. "Maybe that is why Lester won't get any better. We might need a healing potion" he then added looking around at his friends.

"Can't you make one?" Bionic questioned, hoping the answer would be yes.

"I would need a nether wart and a glistering melon for that." Woof explained, looking down at the sick boy.

"Can't we go get it somehow?" Nooch asked the older.

"No. Even if we would be able to get to the nether it would be too dangerous for us there. Without armour and weapons we would get killed after ten minutes. And the melon, we need gold and melon, we have neither" Woof replied, sighing.

"We gotta get away from here, before we get caught in the poison too" Pete then pointed out, looking at his robot friend. "How long time do we have?"

"Before they are here? Two hours at least" Nooch replied, the slime nodding.

"Then let's go, I know those potions and they are bad. We can't be hit with them" he explained before standing up.

"But what about the camp, and the flowers?" Woof asked.

"The flowers will be fine. And the camp we can pack up and bring with us" Pete replied before hurrying to his tent to start pack that up.

After they had finished packing up everything, Bionic went back to his little brother so he would be able to carry him along. But when he got there the youngest was so weak. Lester looked up at his older brother and put a hand up to stop him from lifting him up in his arms.

"I'll just be a burden" he spoke, his voice weak and raspy.

"I won't leave you" the cyborg replied, leaning down more to pick his brother up.

"Bionic, you can still survive. I will just slow you down" Lester reminded him.

"No, take that thought out of your head. You are coming with us" Bionic spoke, his eyes starting to blur as Lester pushed him away softly.

"Go, you still have time to get away. Their flying machines are slow, you know they never managed to make them quicker. If you run, you will be able to get away" the youngest argued.

"We can get away even if we carry you" Bionic replied, sitting down on one knee. Lester just pulled himself up slightly so his mouth was right by the oldest ear.

"Go take your revenge. Kill Herobrine" he whispered, much to the cyborgs surprise.

"What?"

"You heard me. Now go. You don't have much time, I'll be fine" and with that Lester pushed him away with his last powers, hard enough for Bionic to fall back into the arms of Woof.

"You two ready to go?" the older asked, frowning.

"Get yourself to safety Woofless. It was a pleasure to be able to meet you all, but my journey ends here and we all know it" The brave 15 year old said. "Bionic, when you get back home. Tell mum and dad that I loved them" he then added, Bionic nodded slowly, tears streaming down the human side of his face.

"It's been a pleasure man" Woof shook hands with Lester and they shared a smile. Then the four had to leave, Bionic still not wanting to leave his brother but he knew he had no choice. But at that moment he knew that he had to be the one killing Herobrine. He might just be 18, and there was a lot of better fighters, but his brothers last wish was for him to get revenge.
