   Herobtine walked alone through the dark passage, his eyes casting a bright white light on the cold stone walls. Herobrine closed his eyes, the light dimming, until it went out completely. Herobrine dissapeared, leaving behind a dark purple cloud of teleportation particles. He reappeared an instant later atop of a large pedestal at the center of the zombie town. The platform was 10 blocks wide, by 10 blocks long, and 5 blocks tall, with an outer wall made of obsidian.
   The first thing to appear where the teleportation particles, a lavender cloud, followed by the shadowed for of Herobrine. He let the particles subdue before taking a look around. He was standing at the center of the village, surrounded by hundreds of houses, each a mishmash of many different blocks found in minecraft. Some where yall, some where short, some fat, and some narrow. There where even some caves dug into the walls, zombies where comming and going from these subterranean passages.
   That's when Herobrine looked up. The zombie village was located inside a massive cave, deep below the surface. The cave was atleast 100 blocks long, 80 blocks wide, and 25 blocks tall at its lowest point, stretching up to 50 blocks at its highest.
   Just then a loud growl rang out throughout the cavern, one of the zombies had spotted herobrine, and was now reporting the threat. Let them come. Herobrine thought, those incompetent fools have no idea who they are dealing with.
   "WHO DARES ENTER THE DOMAIN OF TA-YAL!" The words echoed off the stone walls like a gong. Herobrine turned to where the sound originated.  Standing atop a balcony 15 blocks above the ground was a massive, hulking zombie, his giant frame shrouded in shadows. The massive zombie then lept off of the balcony, falling hard threw the air. It landed with a thud in the middle of a group of zombies, the green creatures had already congregated around the meeting platform. Standing tall, the hulking zombie stood three times taller than a normal zombie, and twice as wide. His biceps where the size of a normal zombies head. He was clothed from head to toe with Golden armor, and his helmet had 3 small diamonds created in the front. He was not a force to be reccomend with.
   The fool, Herobrine thought, He has no idea who he is dealing with.
   The large zombie kept up into the air, flying in a graceful ark, before landing with a thud on the meeting platform. Herobrine stood looking up at the monster, not backing down.
   "WHO ARE YOU THAT YOU THINK YOU CAN BARGE INTO TA-YAL'S VILLAGE!" The zombie took a step closer to herobrine, sizing up his pray. But herobrine did not budge.
   "Mabye Ta-Yal was not clear, WHO IS THIS INTRUDER!"
   Herobrine said nothing, he just looked up at the creature with disdain, his eyes where closed, but he could still see. He was, what the villagers called, a sorcerer, a beeing that could harness every element, even dark magic, with ease, so seeing without his eyes was no problem, but he could not do it for very long, or he would tire himself out, and he did NOT like the feeling of beeing week.
   Ta-Yal looked down at Herobrine, his mouth forming into a smirk,
   "I guess Ta-Yal must show this creature some respect!" The big Zombie raised his massive golden broadsword, his first mistake.
   Ta-Yal brings his massive broadsword down toward herobrine, but the massive award just passed through a cloud of purple particles, herobrine was gone.
   He reappeared directly behind the zombie, pulling his diamond sword out of his inventory, he swung at the zombie, striking him in the back, and making him flash red as his HP (health points) depleted. But the zombie did not scream, or wince in pain, instead he swung his massive sword in an ark, aimed where herobrine was, but yet again, it just collided with a purple cloud, followed by more flashes of red as herobrine drove more attacks home.
   The massive zombie smirked, understanding what was happining, most zombies are extremely stupid, but due to the conditions that created him, Ta-Yal had developed a much better intelligence than his zombie brothers, somthing herobrine had not considered. Moving at speeds never thought possible for a zombie of that size, he began to spin in a 360° circle, he became a deadly top, blade extended as far out as it could go. Herobrine attempted teleport behind the lumbering giant, but was soon met with a large dose of pain erupting from his side as the zombies award made contact with his flesh. The blow was so strong that it knocked herobrine off balance, but he stayed on his feet, his anger building within his mind.
   Ok zombie, he thought, I'm done going easy! He instantly kept off of his feet, disappearing, just to reappear directly above the zombie. Bringing his award down, he made contact with the creatures helmet, it rang out like a bell, sending an ear splitting ring throughout the village.
   Before Ta-Yal could react, herobrine was gone, reappearing at his feet, slashing at the zombies left leg, throwing him off balance. He continued his attack, disappearing, just to reappear somewhere else, slashing at a thigh, then a chest, then a forearm, driving his attack forward until the zombies health was almost completely depleted.
   "One day, you will remember he who showed you mercy. Now BAW zombie!" The monster struggled to move, his health dangerously low. Knowing that his life depended on his choice, the zombie king used what little strength he had to raise himself to his knee, acknowledging herobrine as the victor, smart. Zombie town leadership works under a combat ruling, meaning the strongest combatant was the leader, and herobrine had just beaten the current leader, making him king.
   "Under the laws of this village, I, Herobrine the Sorcerer, have bested your champion, and claim the roal of king!" The zombie mob sitting before him just looked up at him, the shock of what had just happened still resonating within there deep, black eyes.
   One by one, the zombies lowers there bodies to one knee, bowing before there new king. Ta-Yal began to stand, his health beginning to regenerate.
   "Ta-Yal has been beaten in ritual combat," The old king said, "What shall this zombies new rank be?"
   The question resonated within herobrines head, contemplating what position would best suit this zombie.
   His strength is unmatched, and his intellect beats that of most every zombie. Herobrine began to pace back and forth atop the meeting platform, lost in thought. Chatter arose from the crowd, zombies making theories about what would become of there old leader.
   Just than, herobrine stopped, disappearing, just to reappear right beside the massive zombie, startling the creature.
   "I HAVE DECIDED!" Herobrine exclaimed,  "THIS ZOMBIE, TA-YAL, WILL NOW BE KNOWN AS TA_YAL; GENERAL OF THE GREAT ZOMBIE ARMY!" A cher erupted throughout the village, as every zombie applauded there new general, his massive form standing straight and tall.
   "What is Ta-Yal's first order?" The zombie inquired. This made herobrine smile, and for the first time since entering this village, he opened his eyes, a bright light flowing into the  dark cave.
