"God, how long more is this gonna take?" I groaned. We had been travelling through this weird dark tunnel for about 15 minutes. Nothing had happened so far.
"Relax Phoenix, we'll probably be-"
Towaka was cut off as we saw a blinding light in front of us. We hit the ground immediately.
"here.......yeah." Towaka got up.
"So here we are again. This time in the actual game." I looked uneasily.
It was in ruins. The trees were completely stripped of their leaves, trunks toppled over. There seemed to be fire whichever direction we went and the sky was dark red. It felt like everyone had left, and it was dead quiet.
"I don't remember Minecraft being like this. Dormant, destroyed, dilapidated." We continued walking. I stepped on a fiery branch by accident, flinching a little as the flame nearly licked my shoes.
"Even after we did that, they're still at it?" Towaka asked me.
"Well, I don't know. Shit happens sometimes." I responded.
We continued walking. The destroyed terrain continued to stretch on for as long as I could imagine. Heck, this was already 2b2t's little baby brother.
"Shouldn't we be finding a base?" I nearly tripped over a fallen rock.
"I guess, but I don't know where to start." Towaka replied.
I suddenly heard footsteps behind me. I looked behind. No one. Just fallen burning logs.
"You hear that?"
"What? No."
I thought to myself, maybe I was just tired. We continued.
Footsteps behind me again.
"Towaka I'm concerned, I'm seriously hearing footsteps behind me."
Towaka looked behind me, slowly getting frustrated.
"Phoenix you need to stop this. I see no one." He continued walking while I followed.
Then, the last thing I knew was a huge bonk. Towaka fell forward and fainted. I turned behind and immediately was met with a greyscale player, who also whacked me on the head. My vision turned blurry and......
......
......
......
......
I woke up all sweaty. I opened my eyes to readjust my vision. Turns out, I was in a freaking dungeon cell or whatever. It was lit up with a dim red torch. The dungeon door looked rusted but held firmly in place with a lock. Towaka was still knocked out at the corner.
I tried to move my hands to wake her up. Only then did I realise there was something clasping my hands together.
Goddamnit, it was a freaking handcuff. And Towaka had one too.
And our weapons were gone. What gives.
I simply decided to scoot over to him, then nudge him. He took a while to awake, but he eventually did, though he appeared groggy.
"wh......What happened?" Towaka almost fell back into a slumber.
"We're trapped. In this dungeon." I sighed,
"Oh you have to be kidding me." He sighed in response.
We heard footsteps again. This time, what seemed to be some greyscale players walking up to our cell. They stopped right in front of our cell.
"What do you want?" I snapped at them.
"Greetings, fellow mortals. I am one of the assistants of the Greatest Emperor of Minecraft. You have been imprisoned for encroaching into our territory as instructed by the Greatest Emperor. Do not resist." They responded in a monotonous tone that really made me think that staying in school wasn't a bad idea. After a while, they went away.
"Well, they're gone. What can we do?" I fiddled at the cuffs, trying to break something.
"Well, we could try and lockpick our way out of here." Towaka suggested.
"With what? These?" I started to try and break the links by hitting them on my knees. But nothing happened.
Even after 10 minutes of continously hitting my knee, nearly nothing changed, other than my knee hurting like shit.
"FUCK!! I give up." I slammed the cuffs on the prison bars, only to hear a small crack."
My cuffs broke in half, and some sharp bits flew out.
"Perfect." I picked up a small bit. Time to break our way out of here.
The sharp bit unlocked both of our cuffs and the dungeon door lock as fast as lightning. We soon sneaked our way out of the world, hoping to not bump into anything. This place was weird, It felt claustrophobic and straight up eerie. Archbane could have just build an underground base of iron and gold blocks right?
We continued sneaking our way out, ducking underneath windows. Occasionally I took peeks of the weird greyscale players. They looked like normal Minecraft characters, just all greyed out and had robotic movements. Brainwashing I guess.
After a while, we managed to find the room labelled weapons. Conveniently a window showed there was no one inside, and our weapons were actually inside.
"Locked much?" I stared at the passcode.
"Well, Jeb gave me some secret info about the base. The passcode to this is 9375." She murmured.
I entered it, and we both stole our weapons. We even managed to sneak out some better weapon backups, some potions and some food from the chests. This was good.
However, our progress was shortlived as just as we exited the room. As I experimentally swung my bat in an arc to test it, I accidentally hit the passcode pad, breaking it. Immediately, alarms started screaming all around us.
"WARNING: INTRUDER ALERT! INTRUDER ALERT!"
Oh. Oh shit.
"RUN!" I cried. We sprinted towards the exit. Only that, there was no clear exit. Just an endless stone maze.
"We're gonna be here for a while huh." I mocked.
After about ten minutes of running and getting lost, and nearly alerting multiple minions of our presence, we finally saw the light.
"I think it's there! There's the exit!" I exclaimed.
Only that, it seemed to be closing up.
"Quick!" Towaka screamed. We sprinted as fast as our legs took, and with just barely any time to spare, we made it. I heard the entrance close up beneath us, and if my ears were not drunk, I heard the slight curse of minions who were chasing us throughout the entire 10 minutes.
"Well, what now?" I asked.
"Let's just run. They might send out some special forces." Towaka responded, and immediately took to his feet, running back to the portal.
Well, that was cool. We escaped the base with our weapons, and nearly unhurt. After about five minutes of non-stop running , it looked like the base was out of sight.
"That's coo -"
A huge explosion occurred in front of us, blasting us back.
"WHAT THE FU-" I screamed, but it was cut short as soon as I saw the figure in front of us.
"Hahaha.....well well well, look who it is." The familiar figure came to existence.
"Oh come on, please not this shit again." Towaka slammed his sword into the ground, voice dropping to an agitated growl.
"Well, you think you could have outrun me huh? Well, I, Archbane, Greatest Emperor of Minecraft, thinks not!" Archbane mocked us.
"Well, you think we would give up so easily? We're not letting you destroy the real world again!" I shook my fist at him.
"Haha, big talk is my favourite." Archbane clearly didn't care.
He paced slowly in front of us. Every step send little cracks of red lava through the floor, where it quickly faded as it touched the cold air. In three years, the entity hadn't changed one bit. His luminescent eyes bored into us, a mixture of anger, amusement and anticipation swirling within them. In particular, he seemed to be looking at Towaka's way, sneering a little.
"Got a new haircut?"
He winced, but held firm. The sword came out of the ground with a quiet shink. 
"I think we have more pressing matters than discussing my transition," he answered quietly, holding it infront of him.
"Well then, since you want to fight me, let it be then! Let the final battle begin! The one that will decide the fate of the world!"
I prepared myself. Towaka looked at me.
"We might not have our past powers, but I think we can fight as good." Towaka told me.
"Hey, I also snuck some of their weapons and potions out of their base." I whispered to him.
This was it then.
Player 1, Get Ready.
Player 2, Get Ready.
