Wrath of The Void Chapter 1: The Beginning is The End

The first Chapter in the Wrath of The Void storyline. Still a WIP
== Chapter 1-1 - Just another day, until it's not ==
Steve wakes up after a long night of sleep in his house, which he shares with Alex. He goes outside and breathes a breath of fresh air as he takes out a pickaxe and heads down a path. To the right of steve is Alex fighting and looting the burning mobs outside. She looks to steve and waves. Steve waves back and continues down the path. As he continues down the path, there's a farm to the right and a den with animals next to the farm. Steve waves at the animals and continues on as some of the animals looked at Steve.
Steve continues on the path until it ends and there's a long rail track. Steve puts his minecart onto the track and rides down it. The minecart goes fast as it's on powered rails, and it goes by a Village. The Villagers wave as Steve goes by. Many blocks later, Steve zooms by a small house and a person called Harold waved at Steve from the house. Harold is one of Steve's many friends, and is known to be a pixel taller than most other players. 
The minecart Steve's on enters an opening that leads down to a Giant open lush cave. In the lush cave was a lake with many axolotls in it. The rail then leads Steve into a deeper cave with Dripstone and Glow squids. Steve's minecart stops finally as they enter a Deepslate cave. Steve gets out and takes the minecart as they put Diamond and Netherite armor on. Steve then proceeds to mine in the cave, keeping mind of what could be lurking, prepared for almost anything, but not the events that are going to unfold today...
As the day went on, on the surface a faint black beacon could be seen in the faint distance. Alex noticed something in the distance and used their spyglass to look at the beacon. Alex recognized it was at the same direction of where the stronghold was. Alex took a nether highway to where the nether portal to the stronghold is, and it seamed off. There was dark fog coming from the portal and strange ambience. Alex went through to see what was going on. Alex could see that the beacon was coming from the end portal. Nobody else has seen something like this. Alex did a signal for Steve to come see this.
Meanwhile with Steve, he was getting good things from the caves and even found a Deep dark to loot. He's currently sneaking past The Warden using snowballs in an underground city when he gets the signal. Steve got startled by the signal and accidentally threw a snowball directly up and landing right next to him. Steve then begins to run as The Warden was now aware of Steve. It steadily gained onto steve as steve finds a cave to exit through. It was a steep cave and Steve built up and out of it and The Warden, having lost Steve, goes back into the deep dark.
Steve eventually gets with Alex in the stronghold. Steve feels uneasy about what was happening to the end portal. Then something started to spread around the end portal. Something that Was completely black. Then something slowly came out of the End portal. Steve readied their sword and Alex got out their bow and aimed for what was coming out. The thing finally came out with a flash, knocking Alex and Steve back. It appeared to be a giant dark block. Darkness came out of it and spread throughout the blocks around it. Alex shot one of her arrows at the block, but it broke the moment it hit. Steve tried swinging their sword, but it also broke instantly. The 2 then head for the Nether portal, but the darkness appeared to overcome the nether portal as it's hue was no longer purple, but black. Alex and Steve then fled the stronghold and back to the surface. The darkness following closely behind.
The black beacon then became massive as the sun was directly above it and started turning black. The sky turned darker and darker as Alex and Steve sprinted back to their house. But before they could do it. There was a wave of darkness that swept them both. Off of their feet. Alex got engulfed in the darkness, and Steve almost did as well, but then Steve fell off the darkness and into a ravine and died of fall damage. Luckily, he just respawned.
Steve went outside and could see the wave of darkness could be seen quickly heading for Their home. Steve in a last ditch effort to not get consumed by the darkness went into the house's secret safe room. The safe room was built with a 5 block thick obsidian layer. Steve's wolf was also down there. Steve quickly went into the saferoom and closed the door as on the outside, the darkness swept everything and covered everything in black. The Sun also got covered in darkness and thus, the sky was completely black, with there being no light in sight...
== Chapter 1-2 - Engulfed in Darkness, searching for a light ==
A few minutes later after the darkness swept the world. Steve gets his dog and slowly heads out of the Safe room. It seamed that there was some darkness leaking through the safe room door, but it wasn't moving, so Steve assumed it was safe to go out. When Steve opened the door, there was just darkness. Steve went into it with a torch, giving somewhat of a visual to what happened. Steve went up to their house, and everything was covered in a black mess.
Steve went outside and absolutely everything was covered in darkness. The animals were all encased in some black material and not moving. Steve tried to go further into the darkness, but it seamed that it started to damage steve and give him a darkness effect. Steve didn't know what to do, as even when he went back inside he still felt the effect, and it seamed that his wolf was also feeling the effects. Steve then with his wolf went back into the safe room and it seamed that the effects have vanished.
Steve looked at his torch, and then the Glowstone in the safe room. He puts together that the Glowstone must be getting rid of this darkness effects. He then remembers about having a few blocks of Glowstone in one of the house chests. He sits his wolf down in the safe room and goes back out and goes into one of the house's chests. He started to feel the effects of the darkness again but then he took the glowstone blocks from out of the chest and placed them down. It caused the darkness in the home to retreat and the interior of the house now looks somewhat back to normal.
Steve then goes outside and places a Glowstone block out there and the area where the Glowstone's light is, the darkness goes away. Steve then uses the Glowstone to get rid of the darkness around the area of the house, but then he runs out of Glowstone. Before he could continue trying to light up the world. Steve didn't know what to do, but then he got an idea and placed a bunch of his glowstone onto his nether portal, curing it of the darkness. Steve was still skeptical about going into the nether, but at the same time, it was his only hope for getting more glowstone, so he gathered some spare materials and made a bit of armor.
Steve with a deep breath entered the portal.
== Chapter 1-3 - Deeper into the darkness, looking for the light at the end of the tunnel ==
Steve after going through the portal enters the nether. Steve, alex, and a few others have managed to construct a form of highway through the nether to get from place to place. Usually, the part of the nether that Steve's in, The nether wastes, there would be Zombified Piglen all around, but it appears the darkness has flooded the nether and rendered the Nether wastes even less lifely than usual. Steve had a block of Glowstone on a Fence post to light up the part of the Nether they were in and to keep themselves safe.
Steve saw that there were bits of Glowstone on the nether ceiling, but the darkness was making it hard to see the Glowstone itself. Steve built up to where he saw the Glowstone, and found that much of the Glowstone had been darkened by the darkness. He gathered the Glowstone that was still Glowing right, and also the Glowstone that was being blodded out by darkness. He came back down and saw that the darkness had re-introduced itself into the portal and it was back into black. Steve tries to light it up again, but it seams there were darkening winds that kept the nether portal dark. Steve didn't know what to do, and by the looks of things, he didn't have much time before the darkness overtook him because of the now strong darkness winds.
Steve tried to think of something, then he remembered that in one of the places in the nether, there was an experimental beacon structure right above where there was a hole in the bedrock ceiling. Steve hurried over to the beacon, and then tried to complete it to light up the darkness, but the beacon didn't light. Steve panicked and took the beacon over to a crafting table to see what was wrong, then he saw a new recipe: A stardine beacon. Steve didn't know what Stardine was, but he had the material to create it now since he had the beacon, so he crafted it, and placed it on the ground.
Suddenly, the moment steve placed it on the ground, a blast of light came out of it and the darkness that was surrounding steve was completely gone and the nether around him was lit back up. The nether portal returned back to it's bright purple state. Steve wondered what just happened, and looked at the beacon as it didn't have a beam, but a light surrounding it like the glowstone that stopped the darkness. Steve noticed that the darkened Glowstone also turned back into regular glowstone by the flash.
Steve was ecstatic, he had managed to stop the darkness before it took him over, but there was still the problem in the overworld, and it seams the darkness is still in the nether, just not near steve or the portal. Steve remembers that his and Alex's base also had a beacon, he thought that he could make a second Stardine Beacon. He didn't have enough Glowstone to make it though, so Steve crafted another thing so he could traverse the darkness in the nether: A flashlight made from glowstone, or as it said in the recipe book, a Stardine Flasher.
