Fractures: Illager AU/Modified Transcripts

## Ender Wish

Vordus: "The Illagers, thousands strong, march towards the portals. Soon, the End will be razed to an ominous ruin."

Ceris: "I only wish to protect The Artifacts."

Vordus: "Defeat is certain, what do you intend?"

Ceris: "This war is not ours to win! Hope lies not in the ashes of the End City, but in our successor, in the Overworld, the Last Ender Watcher. We only bide for time."

Vordus: "My queen, one does not simply struggle against fate. We will falter no matter what..."

Ceris: "I dare challenge this fate! We are all that stands against this mighty oppressor! If we are to meet our demise, then we shall do so as ONE! Together, we will fight valiantly, to the last enderman!"

## Wishing Dead

Stella: "Shouldn't we go back and help the poor Enderman?"

Rain: "He wants to stall whoever is hunting us down."

Stella: "Then let's fight back! hunter gets hunted!"

Rain: "No, the Illager King will find us!"

Stella: "That Enderman will Die!"

Rain: "And we don't want to die with him! The End is Razed... he has nothing left to live for! His dying wish is for our safety."

Stella: \*gasp\* "That's so morbid! I-it's unlikely of you to back away from battle!"

Rain: "What matters now is you and me. The fate of mankind lies with us. \*They hold hands\* The End Dancer's noble sacrifice will not be in vain. Together... we will carry the torch, of the Ender Watchers."

## Cold as Ice: The Remake

Ser Patrick: *\*in a loud, ceremonial voice\** "Friends, soldiers, brothers-in-arms. Today is the day, to do brave deeds. Today is the day that we shall STAND OUR GROUND, and crush this savage army in our doorsteps" \**thrusts his hands together*\* "As the End has now fallen to the Illagers, the fate of the world hangs in the balance."

Lady Azura: "Scouts have reported the Illagers are setting orange beacons in the Far Plains. The factions in the front lines fight with all they can. However, it's impossible to make it there in time as reinforcements, so prepare to fight against all odds."

Daryll: *\*in a doubtful, questioning voice\** "Then what's the point of saving this razed land?" \**motions exaggerated*\*

Lady Azura: "We can't. We have to contest that territory and cut off their mobility."

Ser Patrick: "Indeed. We have to slow down the invasion by ANY MEANS NECESSARY."

Daryll: *\*angry and raised\** "Huh!? This is INSANITY! Even the Ender Watchers couldn't defeat the mighty Illager Army! You will send EVERYONE to their deaths for a MERE STRAGETIC POINT!"

Azura: *\*raised and appalled\** "Are you suggesting we sit out this fight? Thousands out there have died stopping this invasion, while you complain about not wanting to die behind the safety of these walls! We are the last line of defense. It's now or never." \**turns to the Grandmaster*\*

Ser Patrick: "There is no shame in fear; there is only shame in letting fear RULE YOU!" \**pointing at Daryll*\*. "We are the Frostbourne: proud vanguards of the Overworld. In these dire times, we have to act as the last BASTION OF MANKIND! We fight, not only to avenge the fallen," \**emotional, lowered*\* "but for the survival, and the future... of our people."

## Be Afraid

Stella: "During their last stand against the Illager King, The Ender Watchers spread the crystals across the Overworld, stopping the Illagers from controlling the portals. We're on a journey... to reunite these crystals before the Illager King gets to them."

Ser Patrick: "Why would they do that? Dragon Tamer here is the Ender Watcher's chosen one!"

Rain: "Yeah... Why put us in a race against the Illager King? They could have just given them to me."

Kane: "Lord Zandalfor sent hunters after you because he thought- the End Queen would give you the crystals. It was wise of the Watchers to deviate from the prophecy..."

Stella: "Is it... also a prophecy for me to turn into a demon?"

Ciara: "Uh... actually..."

Stella: "Well, anyway... What are we supposed to do now? Zeg never told me about the crystals' locations. He spent his final moments- stopping my demonic corruption."

Rain: "Where do we even begin looking for the crystals?"

Lance: "How pathetic... that clown Ceris and her circus called the Ender Watchers have fallen to the Illagers. The End, which used to be a prosperous empire- has been defeated by barbarians. A shame... I am regrettably powerless in this form. But I will do what I can to get the End back to its true glory. Now you, the so called "Enderstone" Crusaders, do not make the same mistake. The crystals carry great powers and the Watchers refused to use their full potential- because they were nothing but COWARDS! Listen to me- Ceris and I had some history, I refuse to deny that. If you truly know her, she's... very predictable... The Illager King is just oblivious. I know exactly where she hid the crystals- each, and every one of them."

Ciara: "Did that frog just talk?"

## Eternal

Kane: "So if what the frog says is true, then the Piglin King holds one of End Crystals. We'll go to his castle, grab it and go. This will be an easy quest because the Netherbane knows the Piglin Kingdom inside and out... Any questions?"

Stella: "Huh? Why does the Nether still has a king? I thought Lord Zandalfor already conquered the whole Nether under his banner?"

Kane: "The Piglin King and his faction are a vassal of the empire, they run supply lines for the Illager King in exchange for protection. We may have to deal with them along the way."

Rain: "Then that means if their kingdom falls, it will cripple the Illagers' supply lines. That should slow down their invasion and give the Frostbourne an upper hand in this war" (*winks at Stella*).

Ciara: "Yes. (*puts drink down and twists her karambit, before walking forward*) *I'll* kill the Piglin King.

Kane: "Ciara, please... we've talked about this before-"

Ciara: (*shouting*) "I'm ending what I started! This isn't just about the End Crystals. This is between the Netherbane and the Piglin Kingdom."

Kane: "You already died chasing the Piglin King once!"

Ciara: "We're already undead, Kane." (*raises her arms*). "We can die as many times as we want! Without the Nether Princess," (*Rain recoils with surprise*) "he's helpless now. It's time to finish the battle I started years ago... This time, he will not escape."

## Gotta Get Outta Here

Lyria: "My scouts report that the Illagers are pushing northwest, capturing every small town and village on the way! Their advance isn't stopping anytime soon..."

Hilda: "Huh, even with the Illager King in dormancy they can still mobilize their armies. Who is leading this attack?"

Lyria: "They call her.. Gladia, the shieldmaiden of the Illager Empire.

Hilda: "Very well, let's put an end to her happy little conquest!"

Lyria: "Commander! It's too dangerous to face them given our small number. Our outpost is just an obstacle they will easily plow through! Shouldn't we give this place up and regroup with the main army?"

Hilda: "No. We can't let them push any further it will endanger our people! Ser Patrick is sending in reinforcements... We just have to hold long enough and pray they arrive on time."

Lyria: "But commander, we don't stand a chance! What if we lose the outpost before they get here?"

Hilda: "Don't fret... I have a contingency plan my dear Lyria. A blizzard is upon us soon it's our key to turn the tides of war."

Lyria: "Blizzard?! Commander, I don't get how that's any good for us. If anything our army will starve or even freeze to death!"

Hilda: \*Chuckles\* "You have much to learn. We are the Frostbourne. We've called the snow biomes our home since the dawn of time. The biting cold is our way of life while our oppressors are adapted to the warm who will crumble when the weather becomes freezing. Stare them down as you thrust your weapons into their flesh reminding them that this winter land is not theirs to take. DEATH TO THE ILLAGER EMPIRE!"

## Back into Darkness

Hilda: "Let's try this one last time. Where is the Illager King?"

Gladia: "Naïve humans! Capturing me is of no use-"

Hilda: "Stick to the question, big nose!" *\*smacks Gladia\** "Your army falters as we speak! The End Crystals are within our grasp and there's nothing you can do about it! It's over, Gladia, you've lost.."

Gladia: *\*giggles\** "You just don't get it, human. My job here is done. I was only bidding for time. Keep me chained or execute me if you want! You cannot stop what's gonna happen next."

Hilda: "W-what? What happens next? You're not making any sense!"

Gladia: "Oh, fellow lady.. This world... it's not mine to conquer, it never was. Our great Kaiser will soon rise from his slumber. Then.. the real war begins!"
