Our Song

Our Song
Storyline by Rainimator and the Production Team

"**Our Song**" is a special episode which follows Detective Cynthia Rose as she takes on the Undead mafia, led by Godfather Herobrine. It premiered on August 7, 2021. The episode is a *Minecraft* music video for the song of the same name by TheFatRat.

"Our Song" is set in a modern-day continuity separate from the *Fractures* universe, which was continued by "Red Line". It started as a standalone project and plans for a sequel are unconfirmed.

## Synopsis

The Herobrine Family runs the city among the shadows. A lone detective takes the fight to put an end to the mob syndicate.

## Plot

Arriving at the MCPD Police Station, Detective Cynthia Rose is greeted by Officer Terry and continues her joint investigation with Officer Zeg on the Herobrine Family. Whilst Rose speculates on the members of the Family and their ringleader, Zeg tries to pinpoint their next meeting. Unbeknownst to them, their corrupt boss is watching and gives them coordinates for the Piglin Syndicate's supposed exchange with the Witherboss.

Arriving at the coordinates, Rose and Zeg ambush the Piglins and Witherboss, but they give the signal for the Skeleton Henchman to attack. The duo split up and manage to escape, but Zeg is killed by several zombie gangsters.

Rose frantically continues her investigation alone, and arrives at the crime scene to watch her boss. She grows suspicious of him. Without the knowledge of her boss, she ambushes the Piglin crime boss atop a balcony and retrieves the location for an upcoming dinner of the Herobrine Family: the Nether Street, 9:00PM.

After the Witherboss pulls up, Rose kills the Family bodyguards stationed at the front. An Endermen gangster teleports outside, but is ambushed and killed by Rose. The crime bosses grow fearful. With an Ender Pearl, she teleports behind a zombie and uses him as a shield, before gunning down the gangsters. She pursues the fleeing Godfather Herobrine on wheels.

She almost reaches Herobrine's car, but her boss purposefully crashes into her. She survives the explosion, wouned. Her boss attempts to gun her down, but she uses her last Ender Pearl and shoots him twice in each leg to immobolize him.

On a payphone, Godfather Herobrine contacts Dreadlord of the Nether Family, one of the Herobrine Family's subsidiaries. A gravely wounded Rose arrives at the police station, but is cornered by the four crime bosses of the Nether Family. Rose shakily points her gun at them.

## Future

A sequel to "**Our Song**" has been previously considered by Rainimator, despite originally being intended to be a standalone project. He mentioned the possibility of a sequel twice in 2022 but has not done so since. On Discord, he posted a render of a member of the Piglin Mafia (*left*), again hinting at a sequel.

"Red Line", a special episode uploaded in 2023, was confirmed to be set in the same continuity as "Our Song" and uses the same map, although it is in a different time period. It tells the story of an underdog street racer.

## Trivia

	+ The title of the episode was revealed on August 6, 2021, only a day before its release.
