Assassin of Steve Universe

**WARNING: THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS THAT MAY SPOIL YOUR ENJOYMENT OF THE MAP.**

The **Assassin of Steve Universe** is the universe of the map series Assassin of Steve.

## Characteristics

The Assassin of Steve Universe is reminiscent of a normal Minecraft world, featuring the same three dimensions (Overworld, the Nether, and the End), with the Overworld containing a lot of the same biomes and mobs as an ordinary Minecraft world. However, it is known that many more dimensions exist besides the Overworld, Nether and End, as well as several sub-dimensions and realms between the dimensions such as the Fringe.

There are also many biomes, species and structures that do not exist in an ordinary Minecraft world. In addition, many mobs (including villagers, many undead mobs, and Endermen), have a certain degree of sentience, meaning they have the ability to band into organised groups and also to build their own structures (such as Glacial Castle), which normally does not happen. Some specific types of species in the Assassin of Steve Universe that do not exist in vanilla Minecraft include Ender Ghasts, Bears and Dwarves.

### Species

*See also: List of Species*

* The only humans seen in the trilogy are Steve, Black Steve, Rana, Beast Boy, and the player, reflecting the rarity of humans in regular Minecraft worlds (where only one or a handful which represent every player on the world exists). While human characters are generally very powerful compared to other species, many other species have great impacts on the Assassin of Steve Universe

* Villagers are a common species that typically live in settlements all throughout the Overworld. They are generally peaceful and pacifist, but live in fear of undead species, and normally only have iron golems from the Iron Golem Factory to help protect them. Sometimes humans such as Steve or the player help them.
* Undead species such as zombies and skeletons are the most common sentient species in the Assassin of Steve Universe. Many band into groups and organisations to do various jobs or services. Some have good relations with villagers while others do not.
* Zombie pigmen are native to the Nether, but after they assisted the Overworld in the Ender War, Steve allowed them to live in the jungle that would become known as the Tribal Snout Jungle. They are generally peaceful, but are hostile when provoked and display incredible strength and power.
* Endermen are native to the End and are rarely seen in the Overworld, the only endermen remaining in the Overworld being the remnants of the forces that invaded in the Ender War. They consider themselves to be peaceful explorers and observers, however the influence and dominance of Replicus turned all of them to war.
* A number of other sentient species seen throughout the trilogy include Ghasts, Blazes, Dwarves, and Guardians and a number of sentient mythical creatures and plants such as Windwood, the Giant Pumpkin, the Triblue Plants, and Cactantuar.

### Magic

Magic exists in some degree throughout the Assassin of Steve Universe, in degrees much greater than what is normally seen in vanilla Minecraft. Several characters such as the Assassin and Chipnone routinely use magical spells such as teleportation or various offensive spells. These can range from fireballs to poison clouds. Other utility spells that are seen include the ability to place lots of blocks, shrink and grow individuals.

## History

### Before the Assassin of Steve maps

The first mobs to exist in the Assassin of Steve Universe were Steve, Black Steve, Beast Boy, and Rana, mirroring the real-life development of vanilla Minecraft. Similar to this, Black Steve, Beast Boy and Rana were removed, which in this universe meant they were banished to the End. However, around this time, the interdimensional conqueror Replicus found his way into the End but ended up trapped. He was going to kill them, but Black Steve convinced Replicus that they could create a portal to the Overworld, so Replicus let them all live.

Once the portal was created, Replicus still found himself unable to leave, so he wanted them to invade the Overworld using forces of Endermen. This started the Ender War, which was a massive conflict across the entire Overworld. It was ultimately won by the Overworld when Steve teamed up with King Parcore and the zombie pigmen from the Nether. He was able to use a spell bestowed himself by the Creators to end Beast Boy. He also sent Rana back to the End. Steve and King Parcore shut down the End Portal and broke the Orb into two pieces - the Empty Orb and the Squiggly Replic. The remaining endermen forces retreated to the three remaining End Ships in the Overworld, while Black Steve vanished, not to be seen again for eight years.

### Assassin of Steve 1

*Main article: Assassin of Steve#Plot*

Eight years after the Ender War, Black Steve, now operating under the guise of the Assassin, assassinated Steve when he went mining at Mt Jewel, and took his Empty Orb. A few days later the player arrives and hears the news, prompting them to investigate, however they encounter the Assassin, who unleashes some monsters, including an Emerald Miner upon them. Once the Assassin leaves, the player returns to the village of Emere only to find it is being invaded by Captain Yarma's Skeleton Army. They meet up with Steve's brother Stuart and fight their way through the army before defeating Captain Yarma himself at the barracks.

After another encounter with the Assassin, they turn their attention to chasing him down and investigate the Minemaster, who Stuart believes may be working with the Minemaster. However, after defeating him the trail turns cold, but then the player gets arrested by the Police for murdering the Minemaster. They break out with the help of the Pollus Villagers, then make their way through the Glacier Mountain Ranges to the remote village of Pollus. There, the Mayor of Pollus suggests going to confront King Icing and Queen Freeze of Glacial Castle, on the basis that they have a huge grudge against Steve and may have hired the Assassin.

However, upon defeating them no connections to the Assassin are found once again, however the player then encounters him afterwards and ends up in the Lava Cave. Upon making their way through it the Assassin reveals himself as Stuart, saying he masqueraded as Steve's brother to trick the player into trusting him. He then detonates the floor, dropping the player into a large cave containing the Mega Ghast. The player slays the Mega Ghast then faces off against the Assassin himself. He defeats him, however the Assassin reappears and blows up the player using a giant exploding fireball, knocking them out, and then leaves.

### Assassin of Steve 2

*Main article: Assassin of Steve 2: The Tribal Snouts#Plot*

The villagers that the player rescued from the Lava Cave bring them back to Pollus, where they wake up. One of them, Roger, asks them to take them back to their village, Rhouff, which they do, but they run into the Assassin on the way, this time under the temporary disguise of the Zombifier, a zombie villager with an elaborate supervillain plot to create an army of invincible zombie villagers.

After escaping, Roger leads the player to the Tribal Snout Village, where the player investigates to figure out what the Assassin was doing in these parts. They soon meet a Tribal Snout priest named Chipnone, who says the Assassin stole the Squiggly Replic from the Snout Temple. The player and Chipnone travel around the lands collecting four Pink Jewels, which when put together enable them to track where the Squiggly Replic, and therefore the Assassin, is.

However, they find the Squiggly Replic is still in the Snout Temple, so they go to investigate, and encounter the Assassin at the bottom, who rigs the Lunar Orb to kill them and escapes with the Squiggly Replic. After the player destroys the Lunar Orb and escapes, they and Chipnone travel to the Redstone Volcano, which is where King Parcore lives and where the Assassin is headed. When meeting King Parcore, however, the Assassin uses a hypnosis spell to make King Parcore attack them. In doing so, the Redstone Volcano starts to erupt. The player knocks King Parcore into a volcano and escapes to the nearby Mount Blacktop.

Inside Mount Blacktop the Assassin is waiting for the player and Chipnone, but it is here that Chipnone betrays the player, revealing his true allegiance to the Assassin and giving him the Pink Jewels. They both attack the player, but the player is able to slay Chipnone. The Assassin battles the player alone, the battle culminating in a large stone mountain the Assassin builds using his new magical block-placing powers. The Assassin knocks the player down a hole in the middle, where they fall into an Ender Cave, but is then knocked down himself by Roger. The player and Assassin battle again, the Assassin once again being slain, but then leaves. Afterwards Roger comes down, revealing himself, saying he will help the player on the continuing search for the Assassin.

### Assassin of Steve 3

*Main article: Assassin of Steve 3: Endergeddon#Plot*

The Assassin arrives in the Fringe at his tower, where he puts the Squiggly Replic and Empty Orb back together to form the Orb, and creating a line of communication back with Replicus. After telling him about the player, Replicus gets mad. He lends the Assassin his greatest powers and orders him to go kill the player.

Meanwhile Roger and the player are travelling through Disaster Desert, following a magical trail the Assassin left behind that Roger can detect using his telepathic powers. They catch up with the Assassin at the ruined village of Gangun, where the player battles him, but it is here that the Assassin reveals his cloning ability. The player battles several waves of clones, and eventually defeats the real one, but afterwards the Assassin vanishes with no further trail.

The player then investigates the mansion down the hill, where they defeat an illager named Count Twoten and free a villager he was keeping prisoner, Ernest. Ernest explains Count Twoten had been infected by the Illager Virus during the Ender War, and also tells the player about the legend where putting the Squiggly Replic and Empty Orb together creates an End Portal. The player leaves the mansion and sets off with Roger, who says the Assassin's path has reappeared.

However, the player gets abducted by the Green End Ship. They fight their way out, escaping in a spaceship that crash-lands near the Iron Golem Factory. This draws the attention of an Iron Golem named Opara, who meets them and takes them to the factory. However, the factory gets attacked by Steam Pirates led by Captain Coldbeard. After fending off the attackers, the Iron Soul says that Commander Clock of Mechanical Island might know more about the legend, so Opara and the player travels there.

On Mechanical Island, Commander Clock describes that to reach the Assassin's Tower, you have to enter the Distorted Caves and then travel through the Fringe. He does not know where the entrance to the Distorted Caves is, but says the Minemistress might. On the way to her mines however, Mechanical Island is attacked by Steam Pirates once again. The player and Opara fend off the attackers, and use Steam Hovercrafts to fly over to Captain Coldbeard's ship, where they confront and defeat him.

They travel into the Minemistress's mines and meet her. She says the entrance to the Distorted Caves can be found using the Distorted Star, which can be found by defeating the Ancient Uivvah in the Pyramid of Uivvah. However, at this moment the Yellow Ender Captain shows up and attacks them. The Minemistress helps Opara and the player escape to the surface, where they fight and defeat the Yellow Ender Captain before setting off to the Pyramid of Uivvah.

The Minemistress leaves them, wishing them good luck, and the player and Opara enter the pyramid and, after a series of challenges, defeat the Ancient Uivvah, get the Distorted Star, and start using it to travel to the entrance of the Distorted Caves. On the way they reunite with Roger, who has still been following the Assassin's path, which is heading in the same direction.

However, they find that the Blue End Ship is invading the town of Tanivac using the Illager Virus, which is turning the inhabitants into Illagers. The player destroys all the Pulse Landers that are spreading the virus all over the town, and then uses a combination of elytra and Opara's powerful arms to thrust themselves up into the Blue End Ship, where they find and defeat the Blue Ender Captain. Upon his defeat the ship disappears, but lethal electric rain starts pouring down over Tanivac and the surrounding desert, making it treacherous to continue the journey to the Distorted Caves.

The player, Opara, and Roger push on, making it to the caves and traversing them. Upon an encounter with the Distorted Monstrosity, King Parcore shows up and helps them destroy it, then they all exit the caves and into the Fringe. King Parcore then explains his role in the Ender War where he fought alongside Steve, and also the complete story behind the Empty Orb and Squiggly Replic.

They all travel through the Fringe and reach the Assassin's Tower, which is being guarded by an army of Assassin Clones. At the top they finally encounter the real Assassin, who is with the Orb, now almost about to let Replicus in. The Assassin, now revealing himself as Black Steve, brings the player into a vision and then into an arena where they fight. Opara enters the arena partway through, and together they take on Black Steve, Opara handling the clones while the player battles Black Steve. It soon becomes apparent that his power is too strong, so Opara begins to use some spells on Black Steve, with the intent to end him, but warns the player they need to leave, which they do.

The player finds themselves back in the Assassin's Tower with King Parcore, Roger, and the Orb, which breaks open and reveals Replicus. Replicus banishes the player into the End, where they meet Rana. The player defeats the Ender Dragon, then they travel to three outer end islands to claim three Endfinity Sources in order to re-open the End Portal. Once they do, the player reunites with King Parcore and Roger in the Assassin's Tower, which has now been flipped sideways and is full of Replicus Clones.

They fight their way through, leaving the tower, then come out into battle against Replicus himself. The battle is tough, Replicus using telekinesis to fling King Parcore high into the air, but then Opara appears, arming the player with a spell to end Replicus. The spell is successful, and afterwards the player sees a vision with Rana and Opara, the latter who reveals himself to be Steve.
