===Headquarters, Night===

===Dream===

Elmer, Eleina and Zaxein all woke up to see a pitch-black sky.

It smelled of smoke and charred Enderman flesh. The shreiks and screams of dying Enders and the grunts and squeals of victory from the Piglin Brutes filled the smokey air.

Clashing of weapons and the few explosions synchronized with the choir of pain and victory on the background.

It was a magnificent concerto... A dreadful one...

WAR...

"Ceris!", Eleina called.

In a moment or two, the said Ender appeared, her shimmering sharp pair of light blue blades on her hands, and a long Obsidian sword on her back.

"Lady Eleina! The Black Legion had the powerful Piglin Brutes on their side!", she shouted, as the said Mobs attacked her.
"Have you evacuated the others?", Eleina asked.
"I have! It was only me in here left alive!", Ceris answered.

And they all ran to the End Portal.

===End of Dream===

Eleina and Elmer shot up, gasping.

"I had a dream... A bad dream!", Elmer cried.
"I saw it too... The End's fall!", Eleina hissed.

They both jumped off their beds, and prepared their weapons.

As they ran off to the End Portal, they met Zaxein, who was already ahead of them and about to jump in the Portal.

"Zax! Where are you going!?", Eleina asked.
"I have dreamed about the End falling to Henry's hands!", the Half-Blood answered.
"Wait... You're going there too?!", Elmer shreiked.
"Ah, this shit will take forever! Let's jump in the Portal before Ceris gets overrun by those Brutes!", Eleina groaned, jumping in the starry Portal.

"Wait, does that mean —"
"Shut up, we must go!"

And they both followed, jumping to the Portal.

===The End===

As the three warrior children appeared, they were met by a wounded Ender Dragon, purple blood spurting out of her wounds.

"Lady Ceris! They are here!", she roared.

Then out came Ceris, an army of angry Piglin Brutes trailing behind her, arrows trying to hit her.

She was all bloody and weak.

"We will fight back.", Eleina hissed, summoning her scythe.
"Lady Eleina! The Brutes are too hard to defeat! Even my Army cannot contain them!", Ceris warned.
"Lady Ceris, you must pour my blood over your wounds... That way, you'll be healed.", the Dragon said.

Ceris nodded and got a bottle. She filled it with the Dragon's dripping, bright purple blood. She, then poured it in all of her wounds. She healed in an instant.

"Sir Elmer, Lady Eleina, Zaxein... You can't handle them!", Ceris repeated.
"We will hold them back! You have to escape! Where are the Relics?", Eleina asked.
"The Piglin Brutes had them.", Ceris sadly said.
"We will take them back!", Zaxein declared.

"But...!"
"We will be quick... The Relics were important!"

The three children, then ran off, weapons on hands.

Ceris looked at the wounded Dragon beside her.

"Let's go to the Overworld.", she said.
"As you wish, my Lady.", the Dragon bowed.

Ceris climbed on the Dragon's back. She looked at the distance, and saw Eleina, Elmer and Zaxein, flying towards the End Cities.

"May luck be with you, UAM leaders...", she hopefully whispered.
"Let's go.", she added, tapping the Dragon's back.

The Dragon, then spread her wings and flew off to the Sky Portal.

Meanwhile...

Eleina, Elmer and Zaxein saw the huge horde of Piglin Brutes, running towards them, crossbows and golden swords on their hands.

As they approached, several arrows shot through the air. Eleina, Elmer and Zaxein dodged the arrows swiftly. Elmer even deflected some bows back to the unfortunate Piglins.

"Kuya Elmer! I see a chest on the distance!", Zaxein shreiked, pointing at the farthest end of the horde.
"Elmer, Zax... Keep these pigs amused... I will take the Ender Eye.", Eleina hissed, as she disappeared into purple puffs.

Elmer and Zaxein nodded at each other. Elmer took out his pick, while Zaxein wielded his Obsidian sword.

And they both sped towards them, deflecting the arrows and killing the Brutes.

Meanwhile, Eleina appeared beside an Ender Chest. She immediately stole it, but an arrow almost hit her.

She looked up, and stanced with her scythe:

The Piglin Brutes' captain.

"Give back the Ender Eye.", the Brute hissed.
"Come and get it then~", Eleina sneered, summoning an Ender Portal, and throwing the chest into it, the Portal disappearing right after she threw it.

The Brute growled.

He attacked, but Eleina already disappeared into thin air.

"Elmer! Zaxein! Let's go!", she shouted, summoning a Portal.

They all ran into it.

===Overworld===

Ceris and Naeus looked up, and saw the three children running towards her. She smiled, grabbing the Ender Chest.

"I knew you can do it.", she smiled.
"Those Piglin Brutes surely are on a definite watch for that Relic.", Elmer thoughtfully said.
"How come they turned their backs against Naeus?", Zaxein asked.

The said Nether King sighed.

"It was my fault. I used to banish the Brutes, forcing them to make bastions of their own.", Naeus explained.
"That's why they hated you.", Zax shrugged.
"Basically.", Naeus nodded.

"But it's a relief to have the Ender Eye back.", he added.
"Henry was really trying to cripple the UAM. But we will fight back... No matter what happens.", Ceris said.

They all nodded.

Generals Michael, Zombrine, Wendy, Ernesto, Carlos, Damien and Seth approached.

"Glad that you succeeded in taking the Relic back.", General Wendy sighed.
"It's a close one with the Brutes' leader.", Eleina shrugged.
"Those Piglin Brutes are bloodthirsty. They literally fear nothing, standing for their own.", Ernesto said.
"I thought Henry had the Brutes?", Carlos asked.
"I guess those Brutes are willing to go on with that bastard.", Ernesto flatly answered.

Elmer looked over to a gloomy Ceris.

"The Matriarch was deeply disappointed.", he sighed.
"Of course, she would be. It was a pain to lose your Kingdom, isn't it?", Damien shrugged.

Zaxein strode to Ceris and hugged her. Ceris meanwhile froze in shock, seeing the child looking up at her with those creepy white pupils. She smiled.

"It's hard to lose in a battle, Zax...", she said.
"In my age, I already knew what a soldier's defeat feels like.", the little Half Blood smiled.
"I just tend to feel guilty like... *sigh* The End falls under my reign. It's a self-degrading defeat, I say.", the Ender mumbled.
"But under your reign, the End will rise again. Back to the glory it used to be.", Zaxein smiled.

Ceris chuckled lightly, messing up Zaxein's hair.

"You're the most positive-minded warrior I've ever encountered in my life...", she smiled.

Zaxein giggled, seeing the joy deep within Ceris's purple eyes.

"The Higher God will give us the victory we deserved.", the child said.
