The Enderman glided over to a pool of white water, and gestured at John to follow his gaze. John did, and he looked into the pool. Suddenly, the pool rippled, and he could see Alex, stumbling in the dark caves, placing torches sparingly. Just then, John was shoved roughly into the pool, and he fell and fell and fell........

"Uh!" groaned John as he landed on his behind on the hard rock ground. Alex, oblivious to John's existence, went on walking. He was visibly scared as strange noises echoed through the tunnels. "Hello? Anyone?" Alex shouted, his face pale. "Alex! Here!" John replied, but Alex did not seem to hear him. John ran at Alex, trying to tap him on the shoulder, but in vain as he passed right through him. "Looks like I am currently non-existent," mumbled John.

Alex tripped and fell down a sheer drop, screaming all the way, then landing on a bow left behind by other explorers with a loud crunch and dying. "ALEX! NOOO!" screamed John, as he witnessed the death of his friend. Just then, the Enderman appeared beside him, and with a wave of his hand, Alex's body started decomposing quickly, until he was nothing more than a skeleton. The Enderman then breathed upon the skeleton of Alex, which woke up and grabbed the bow. After making some arrows out of thin air, Alex, or to be more accurate, the Skeleton, started walking alone in the caves.

As John watched this miraculous scene, he was sucked away. "SSSSSHHWOOOOOOPPP" went the white liquid as John was flung out of it. When gravity got back control of John, there was a different scene in the white liquid, Zane! John fell back through the gloopy liquid and fell onto a vein of iron ore. Zane was walking quickly, without even placing torches. In fact, he was running. "HELP! JOHN! JACK! ALEX! ANYONE?!" Zane screamed as he ran as quickly as he could through the caves. Zane was apparently creeped out by the weird sounds in the cave. But, he ran and ran and... he fell into a hole.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" screamed Zane. John was surprised that the hole could be that deep for Zane to scream that long. Not long after, there was a sickening sound as Zane landed on his feet. " ARGH!" cried Zane in agony as both his legs snapped off just below the knee, and his voice faded away along with his blood as he died. The Enderman appeared again and with a wave of his hand, Zane's inner organs transformed to TNT, the block which he adored the most, and his legs reattached, albeit on his butt, one on each side. And most amazingly, his arms detached and rotted away, and his body became green. With the Enderman's breath, Zane woke up and travelled away without a sound. "Oops. I was planning to make it more realistic." the Enderman said without a trace of a smile. John decided to call it the creeper after the way it walks. And up he went again...

"This is irritating." grumbled John as he landed on his butt again, this time in lava. But, he was not on fire! "Wow, some gift, huh?" John thought as he watched Jack and Paul stumble into a room. In the room, there was a Nether Portal.

"Hey, if there is a portal, there will be people!" said Jack, as they both went in the room. At once, they both jumped in the portal. John decided to test his 'gift', and thought hard,"I want to go to the Nether". When he opened his eyes again, he was in the Nether! "Sweeeet!" laughed John. Jack and Paul stumbled for a few more days, before Jack succumbed to hunger and thirst. "That ain't fun at all!" cried John, already used to seeing his old friends dying away gruesomely one by one, and coming back to life. Paul stumbled on, not knowing that his buddy had died already. Jack had fallen on Soul Sand, the block itself nourishing Jack's fallen body once again, but not enough yet, for Jack's risen body was one of a dead one, and he was decomposing. John decided to name it a Zombie, as people always do. As he followed Paul, nothing notable happened, other than some Ghasts circling around Paul, like vultures ready to strike once Paul had fallen. All of a sudden, the Enderman appeared out of nowhere and said, "This one is taking far too long," as he waved his hand at Paul. Paul instantly transformed into a spider, a BIG one, and teleported back to the surface by the Enderman, leaving John behind to head back to the Overworld himself. And he did.
