*Clay's defection*

Abigail wakes up from her bed she thought she had a nightmare to she made herself some breakfast and went to Clay's house she knocks on his door with no answer Abigail manages to get into his house and finds that it is empty Abigail's Nightmare was true she went to warn Rain

Abigail:"he really left...i must get Rain"

Abigail rushes to find Rain who finds him next to the lake where Clay and Rain usually meet

Rain:"hey Abi have you seen Clay anywhere"

Abigail explained to Rain that Clay Left and her6 theory was that grew fearful and jealous of Rain Development in power. Rain, Abigail, Robin, and Camyo meet up at the entrance they plan to rescue Clay from whatever is corrupting him

Clay's captors and Clay are walking through the snowy Biome of Glacierford and once they got far enough Clay then takes a pill to make the cursed eye stronger but will be half dead. He takes it and passes out due to the immense pain but his body is adjusting to the drug. Nikorasu, Eryn, and Chronos

Abigail Engages Nikorasu in combat, Camyo takes on Eryn and Robin fights Chronos they fight and tells Rain to get Clay, Rain manages to catch up with Clay

Rain:"Clay!"

Clay ignores Rain can continued walking Rain then says a word that stops Clay in his Tracks he then stare at Rain who was Horrified by his cursed eye fusing with his body which is 25% of its power

Clay:"so you decided to stop me"

the two stare at each other for a while

Clay:"leave me alone"

Clay then laughs at Rain and asks why the long face and Clay Rain thinks about it This isn't the same person he once knew while Clay disliked Rain he would sacrifice himself to save Rain now this Clay has become a megalomaniac monster Rain questioned why is Clay like this not the person he used to be

Clay:"why should you care, this is my path, my fate you or anyone else cannot steer me from it"

Rain thinks about the friends that are willing to their lives just to bring Clay back to Glacierford and the fact that they said that leave them to save Clay from Darkness and hatred similar to the warmongering Hatred Clan led by Pólemos, Rain calls Clay the person he had become a monster and thinks of his allies lives are nothing

Clay began walking then Rain Leaps at Clay and pinned him to the ground and punches him in the face the but the attack didn't even faze him one bit Clay then spat at Rain, then they began battling. Clay's Cursed Eye, which had been powered up by the pill given to him by the Nikorasu and the Assassins Four(minus Dark Blaze and Corvus), gave Clay inhuman strength, which he used to reduce Rain to almost rag-doll levels.

Meanwhile, Rain and Clay unleashed a powerful blow respectively, causing each other to fly backwards. Activating 50% of his Cursed Eye Clay used his enhanced speed and strength to overcome Rain and strike him with in the shoulder with a lightning blade. Rain managed to block the attack, but Clay, still intent on killing Rain, tried to strangle Rain, only to have himself thrown aside by the ender eye

With his enhanced abilities, Rain was able to easily overwhelm Clay all the while trying to reason with him, only to have Clay ultimately reject his efforts. Despite this, Clay finally admitted they were fighting as equals. Upset by Rain's persistence, Clay knocked him unconscious. Rain for the first time, his dual ender eye form, Rain unleashed powerful short and mid-range attacks, which Clay, even with his Cursed was unable to keep up with.

Feeling he had no choice, Clay increased his Cursed Eye to its 100% full power, once again evening the playing field. Both Clay and Rain realised the cost of their respective abilities at that point, but both decided that they had no other choice. Clay revealed that the location of their fight was the Valley of Gods and, determined to end the battle, The two warriors uses their attacks; A black dome of energy formed around them, which eventually dissipated, revealing the two as their current forms, and then as their younger selves, who held hands and smiled at each other. When the dust settled, Clay was revealed to be victorious.

Clay pondered whether or not to kill an unconscious Rain, but decided to leave him alive in the end. Clay stares in the rainy Skies and feels the painful after affects of the cursed eye causing him to cough blood he comes face to face with the unconscious Rain. Abigail arrived Clay fled; disappointed they were too late, Abigail took Rain back to Glacierford to heal his wounds.

Rain woke up from home feeling refreshed and ready to go so he dresses up and heads out of the house after eating some breakfast he builds a snowman but his best friend Abigail rushed to him telling him bad news Oscar a friend and fellow neighbor was bit by a zombie everyone was concerned Rain and some other citizens like Robin made a plan of this later that night Rain and Abigail trained with each Abigail besting Rain leaving is 6-4 wins Rain felt ashamed

Abigail:"Rain whats wrong"

Rain thinks about his final clash with Clay and laments to himself that he couldn't stop his friend from leaving:"its nothing Abi...really its nothing"

Abigail:"Oh its Clay huh,,, Don't worry We will bring him Back

Abigail decides to get some food she brought her bow rain was walking around and he sees zombies Rain pulled his diamond sword and prepares for combat Abigail also sees both zombies she killed them many fought their way to the exit only 5 made it out rain stated they need to get far Abigail agreed and they traveled far from their home they set up camp abigail sees her friend in sadness and tries to help

Rain smiled they both hugged it out later that night the Undead showed up with skeletons the survivors prepared but one sees a drowned with dual wielding tridents no he said the battle begins with robin dying Herobrine teleported to Zach who had a iron spear he fought Herobrine who kills him, Camyo was killing zombies left right center with his dual wielding swords he sees Voltra he shown fear Voltra killed him by stabbing his throat Rain and herobrine meet they engaged and Rain gained the upper hand leaving herobrine forcing to retreat Abigail told him they gotta go they ran for it rain

the duo runs to the bridge but a explosion occurred seeing Rain in the zombie infested side and Abigail well the safer side Abigail regained her consciousness and see her friend in the zombie side Rain who insisted Abigail to run but she refused he fought zombies until he was bit in his hand he became infected the zombified Rain sedately turns at her, revealing his bloodied face and a pair of red eyes just like the zombies.

"Rain... No..." She said as she began sobbing.

She dropped to her knees, deeply saddened from her partner's zombification, tears flowing from her eyes. Meanwhile Voltra watched on and remained stoic, and soon throwed another trident, this time aimed on Abigail’s head. She had no time to react for the trident, and was unavoidably speared on the head, knocking her down on the floor, dead. After her brutal death, Voltra crossed his tridents, praying for their death.

"Pardon me for doing this. But sacrifices must be made for peace to be accomplished. I pray you find light in your next life," Voltra praying for the last survivors' deaths. He then turned around and left the area, heading back to the Undead-conquered Glacierford.
