  Seth raised his new Corrupted Crusher Blade which he just crafted from Shadow Scales, Demonite Bars, Iron Bars and some Ebonstone from the Corruption.
  He walked outside brandishing his new blade, and saw his friends with their new weapons.
  Seth wrapped the Worm Scarf around his neck and felt stronger.
  Violet said,"It's time."
  "For what?" Seth asked.
  Violet rolled her eyes and walked towards the village gate.
  "To defeat the mind of the hive, of course." Violet stared at them.
  "The what?" Miles asked.
  "You'll find out when we go back to the Corruption." She walked out of the village.
 
[With Calamitas]

  Calamitas flew through the ruin landscape of the Underworld, darting past multiple charred buildings.
  "It's gotta be around here..." Calamitas muttured to herself.
  She submerged into the lava ocean and looked around, a red tint was visible in the ocean.
  Calamitas used her powers and stretched her mind into the red tint, it was what she was looking for.
  The red tint was in fact the soul of the lead scientist for the Clonelamitas project. as Calamitas called it
  She reached even deeper into the soul and saw the memories of the lead scientist talking to Draedon. Calamitas projected it and watched as the soul replayed the event.
  "Sir, project Clone Calamitas is a success." The lead scientist annouced.
  "Good, I want to see more clones by the end of the month, and maybe I will give you a raise." Draedon complimented him.
  "Yes sir!" The lead scientist responded.
  "No that's not it..." Calamitas murmured.
  She reached even deeper and found more memories.
  "Scour the lava, we need more souls!" The lead scientist commanded.
  "Affirmative!" The other scientists responded in unison.
  The lead scientist bent down at a pool of lava and scooped some lava out of the pool with a glass bottle.
  "That's impossible!" Calamitas said.
  The memory started to only show fragments of it, and soon it ended with the lead scientist falling into the ocean of lava.
  Calamitas picked up the soul with her magic and quickly crushed it into many fragments.
  She took a deep sigh and quickly disposed of the fragments.
  "Why Yharim?" Calamitas murmured.
  Calamitas had a plan, it may not kill her ex-lord, but it will ruin the Clonelamitas project.

[Corruption]

  Seth and Miles were surprised to see a long platform with campfires placed sporadically.
  "What's that?" They both asked in unison.
  "It's an arena." Violet climbed onto the platform and pulled out her Molten Bow.
  Miles climbed onto the platform followed by Seth.
  Seth had problems climbing onto the platform, he kicked his legs around trying to grab  the platform with them, but he couldn't get on.
  Violet rolled her eyes, she extended a hand out to him and helped him up onto the platform.
  "Thanks." Seth said to her.
  She just grunted and faced an object in the distance.
  Seth and Miles looked in the same direction and saw a bulging corrupted brain.
  "What's that?" Miles asked.
  Seth remembered the brain from when they left for the village after they "defeated" the Eater of Worlds.
  "It's what we need." Violet said as she notched an Arrow to her Molten Bow.
  "Why are you not using your Jester Arrows?" Seth asked.
  "The Molten Bow sets normal arrows ablaze." She explained.
  Violet rapidly fired arrows at the bulging brain, destroying it.
  Suddenly a bigger brain emerged from the mass and just stayed stationary.
  "What is that!" Miles was shaking in fear.
  Violet immediately fired flaming arrows at the brain, and it roared in pain.
  Seth let out a battle cry and was about to charge towards the brain, but Violet stopped him.
  "Hey!" Seth shouted.
  "Let it come to us idiot." She replied.
  "Let it come to us?" Seth thought as he stared at the immobile brain.
  Violet and Miles fired projectiles at the brain, and it growled in tremendous pain before disappearing in a cloud of vile smoke.
  "Teleportation?" Seth asked.
  "Get out of the way!" Violet pushed him and Miles aside and jumped away just as the brain teleported to where they were just standing.
  Violet stared at Seth who stared back at her.
  She nudged his arm and Seth knew what she meant.
  Seth let out a battle cry and charged at the brain, stopping in front of it and slashed away at it with his Corrupted Crusher Blade.
  The brain roared and teleported away from them and into the sky.
  It roared again and monsters emerged from itself, Seth watched as the monsters squirmed their way out of the brain.
  "That's just not right." Miles said in horror.
  The monsters charged at Seth, and he stared at them wide-eyed.
  "Wait why me!?" Seth ran away as the monsters chased him.
  The brain turned to Miles and Violet and charged at them, they both managed to dodge it.
  "That brain's really smart," Violet shot down a monster that squirmed out of the brain and continured,"Distracting our melee, so we can't take it out easily."
  Miles shot flaming bolts from his Flare Bolt and killed a couple of monsters.
  "That monsters is like a hundred times smarter than us!" Miles shouted.
  "You mean you and that other idiot?" Violet corrected.
  "Uh yeah!" Miles replied.
  The brain flew in a circle around them, after making one full round it charged at them, and slammed into them.
  The impact knocked them off the platform, and they landed on the corrupted grass.
  Meanwhile, Seth rebounded off a tree and tore into the monsters that were chasing him. He was like a blade whirlwind as he took down the monsters until there were none left, he then landed on the ground and took a deep breath.
  "That was tiring." He said as he gasped for air.
  Suddenly, Violet and Miles ran towards him.
  "It's still not over!" She said.
  The brain loomed over them and summoned more monsters.
  The monsters immediately attacked them upon the brain's roar.
  Seth was knocked down onto the floor as the monsters swarmed them.
  The creature slowly chipped away at their health, Seth watched as his health points decreased.
  "So this is it, we're going to die..." Seth thought.
  He stared at his friends, Miles was curled up in a ball and Violet was muttering some intelligible words.
  As the monsters started chipping their health down to dangerously low, Seth closed his eyes and prepared to see heaven.
