**The Ender Knight**, also known as **TEK**, is a pink stick figure with Enderman-like superpowers, who is a popular candidate for future AVM characters.

## Character Creation Background

TEK was created by The Eye of Ender-2 and The Slimy Stump, with art by Bambi808, as a fan concept.

## "The Ender Knight's Backstory" by The Eye of Ender with assistance from The Slimy Stump

### Chapter 1: Creation

Every stick figure's story starts when someone created them (whether that is a parent or an animator). The Ender Knight was created by an animator named Ellen. Ellen was inexperienced with animating and was just experimenting with her animation software, since she was using it for the first time. After changing the colour of her brush, she decided to draw something.

First, she drew a small pink stick figure, and named her The Ender Knight. But as soon as Ellen had finished naming the stick figure, she came to life. Ellen freaked out and attempted to delete TEK, but the stick figure realized what Ellen was trying to do and fled.

Because our stick figure was named "The Ender Knight", she had received superpowers. TEK created Ender charges, which destroyed many apps. Every time Ellen got TEK cornered, she would teleport away. Finally, Ellen decided that trying to fight TEK outright was pointless. But Ellen managed to disable TEK's powers using an antivirus software (as the PC regarded TEK as a virus), but when the software was about to delete TEK, she used the animating software to draw guns and explosive items and shot the software, destroying it. Ellen then managed to trap TEK by drawing a prison. But then, to Ellen's great astonishment, pink letters appeared on the screen next to TEK. They said "no please don't delete me!" Ellen was very surprised that a stick figure could speak, and spoke back using text. Ellen told TEK that she would be spared only if she didn't destroy the PC. TEK agreed. Ellen released TEK but did not reenable her powers, yet.

Once freed, TEK behaved herself. Still scared after her creator had tried to kill her, she stayed out of Ellen's way whenever the woman went online, though that was usually to do her homework assignments. Eventually, TEK got up the nerve to ask Ellen for her powers back. And finally, after long consideration, Ellen reenabled TEK's powers.

Ellen began to have second thoughts, but soon regretted that. She soon found out that TEK was a very loyal, clever, and talented stick figure. Although TEK's combat skills were very powerful, she was gentle and free-spirited. TEK helped Ellen animate, and when Ellen wasn't around, TEK would mess around with apps and websites.

In this way, TEK discovered Minecraft, and not long after she also discovered the Nether and the End dimensions. TEK realized that her powers grew weaker when in the Nether for some reason, so she went there as little as possible.

### Chapter 2: End Dimension

When TEK discovered the End, meaning to explore this new dimension, she found out that she could communicate with Endermen and the Dragon itself. She was awed by the ancient splendor of that dimension. She took in the pale-yellow ground, the black sky, the towering black columns, and the pink crystals encased inside their glass cubes bobbing in the flames atop those columns. Unlike when Purple, Green and Blue had come to the End, the Endermen noticed her straight away, and they all turned towards her, seeing someone at once alike and yet unalike to themselves.

At the same time, TEK felt a strange thrill of power pass through her entire body, that left her feeling stronger, and somehow more acute. She looked down at herself, but could see no viable change.

Just then, TEK spotted the baby dragon sitting atop the bedrock pillar in the center of the island, and walked closer, her curiosity aroused. But she had barely taken one step when the mother dragon swooped down upon her. TEK immediately backed away a few paces to escape the angry dragon. The dragon and TEK look into each other's eyes, and the dragon accidentally shows TEK the events of "The End" as seen from its perspective: how three stick figures of the exact same shape and size as TEK–had appeared on the obsidian platform and attacked the mother dragon, before stealing her egg. TEK felt the mother dragon's fear and fury, and she realizes that the dragon thought that she was going to attack its baby, just like those other stick figures had. TEK managed to communicate with the Dragon, telling her that she didn't mean any harm. The Ender Dragon stared at TEK for a while, occasionally growling, as if expecting her to pounce any minute. TEK didn't move an inch the whole time, trying the gain the dragon's trust. And soon, the Dragon left, leaving TEK alone.

TEK then explored the End, discovering the End Islands, the elytra, and the chorus trees. TEK's powers grew stronger in the End dimension, and soon she learnt to heal living things, create light purple charges which, when hurled, explode upon coming into contact with something, releasing black dust which suffocate anything within its range, and summon the Ender Dragon, whom she had rescued from several speedrunners when her aid was needed. Although TEK was far from her origin, she felt quite at home at the End Dimension.

### Chapter 3: King Orange & Purple

The Ender Knight decided to go to the nether again, to collect some nether warts for potions. She didn't want to spend too long there, as she hated that dimension and couldn't stand the heat for long.

However, while she was looking for a fortress, she saw an orange stick figure. This stick figure was King Orange. He seemed to have collapsed, and hoglins were surrounding him, about to attack.

At once, TEK ran to his direction, and started to fend off the hoglins to defend KO. After the hoglins were either dead or escaped, TEK went towards KO, and tried to wake up the unconscious stick figure. After a while, he finally woke up, yet still weak and drowsy. TEK tried to lead him to the portal which led to her PC.

Sucessful, The Ender Knight managed to get King Orange to her PC, but he again faints as he enters it. After some time, KO wakes up on a bed, in a little house that TEK had built in the PC. TEK is seen coming through a door, and was happy to see that KO was okay. When KO had recovered enough, she asked him what he was doing in the nether. KO told her that he was a king ruling over Piglin Brutes. He wasn't telling any lies, yet didn't tell some details, which were that he lost his son and his plan to destroy Minecraft entirely.

TEK offered him to stay, until he was feeling good enough to go back. KO at first refuses, but as he was still having a bad headace, and was aching all over, he agreed.

KO stayed in TEKs PC for some time. The more time he spent with her, the more she reminded KO about Gold, his son, which gave a comforting effect. But he always reminded himself that Gold was dead, and he must have revenge of the thing that killed him. That was Minecraft, of course.

Once King Orange was healthy enough, he went back to the nether to continue making his scepter. The Ender Knight had given him plenty of books and Minecraft blocks to KO, upon his request.

The next time he went to The Ender Knights PC, he brought Purple with him whom he had recruited in the mean time. TEK starts to suspect that something's up with Purple, as he seemed to be depressed. She convinced him to tell her what was wrong, and he told her that his mother had died and his father was nowhere to be found. After hearing this, TEK decided to comfort Purple as much as she could.

King Orange decided to show The Ender Knight his finished scepter, and demonstrated it using a command block. He then told TEK that he needed the Master Block for it, and proposed that she could also be a part of his 'scheme'.

However, The Ender Knight was very alarmed knowing that there would be choas if you tamper with the Master Block. She told KO to forget about it, and just leave the master block as it is.

### Chapter 4: Betrayal

KO would not take no for an answer, and punched TEK, sending her flying. KO then attempted to insert the Master Block into his scepter. TEK had to act fast, and shot an ender charge at KO. That distracted him, giving TEK enough time to smack the Master Block out of his hand.

The Master Block landed at Purple's feet, and suddenly, Purple found that he had to choose between KO and TEK. Of course, he chose to team up with KO, and tossed the Master Block to him. TEK then teleported to KO, tackling him herself, which made KO drop the Master Block again. TEK seized the Master Block. She knew that the only way to stop this madness now was to destroy the thing that had started it. Catching sight of the recycling bin, TEK made a dash for it. Almost in the same instant, KO and Purple realized what TEK was trying to do and hasted to try to stop her. KO still had a command block, and he used it to fire arrows and Ghast charges at TEK. TEK managed to dodge most of them, until an arrow hit her right before the Master Block went into the recycle bin. TEK stood still for a minute, panting, but then suddenly healed herself. KO, however, was beside himself with anger, and began to attack TEK by shooting ghast fireballs. TEK fought back by shooting ender charges charges. But, as Ghast fire is from the Nether, and Ender charges are from the End, these two dimensions do not mix, and this disparity caused a massive explosion that blasted the stick figures apart. The stick figures fell into the Internet.

KO and TEK landed in an animation on YouTube. KO landed, sitting, on a throne, and TEK landed on her feet in front of him. They went right on fighting.

Purple was not in the animation with them. When the explosion had happened, Purple had fled into the Internet, and once again found himself in another person's PC. This PC's owner happened to be online, and wasn't very pleased to see Purple, and tried to get ahold of him with the cursor. But Purple managed to escape by jumping onto the League of Legends tab that the PC's owner had left open, and into the game, which later resulted in the events of AvLoL.

Now, another person (whom I will be calling Kelly, to avoid confusion) was watching this animation with another PC. After watching for half a minute or so, Kelly became bored, as she had watched this type of animation often, and none of these stick figures were winning nor gaining anything.

Kelly then made the YouTube tab smaller, and opened a game of Minecraft, making that small as well. She then began to Speedrun, starting by looting a village. Kelly wasn't paying attention to the stick figures fighting in the video, until the YouTube tab started glitching, and the stick figures fell out of the tab into her PC. They were still fighting. Kelly was too surprised to do anything and could only stare dumbfoundedly as the one app after another was destroyed. KO spotted the Minecraft tab, decided the game would give him a better chance of defeating TEK, and leapt through the tab into Minecraft. TEK jumped after KO. Kelly, on the other hand, was in shock. Once she had recovered, she deleted both YouTube and Minecraft, vowing never to use those cursed apps again.

Meanwhile, the raging battle between TEK and KO was continuing in Minecraft's Overworld, and KO had almost defeated TEK.

TEK was down to half a heart. She didn't summon the Ender Dragon, as she was afraid that KO would use the /kill command on it. KO was now summoning strong, dangerous mobs, such as piglins brutes, whither skeletons, and blazes. Although TEK had Endermen and shulkers supporting her, KO still overpowered TEK. Eventually, with no choice left, TEK summoned the Ender Dragon. The sky turned red as the three dimensions were heavily inbalanced. Once the ender dragon arrived, it started to attack all the enemy mobs. This gave TEK time to heal herself. Then she went to look for KO. KO was on an elevated area trying to hold off the Endermen. By the time he realized that the ender dragon was killing the mobs he had summoned, TEK had pinned him on the ground. KO did have the scepter with him, but it was difficult to use it with TEK on his tail.

With the Ender Dragon behind TEK, KO was struggling. At first he tries to hold them off, but it was no use. KO summoned more Nether mobs to keep the Dragon busy, which gave TEK a chance to keep fighting. KO had enough, and use the /force command on TEK, keeping her in the air and preventing her from teleporting. KO was holding TEK with her throat, which made it difficult for her to breath. The ender dragon, however, had finished the mobs, and was angered that KO was trying to suffocate TEK. KO had to use the scepter for a different commander to defend himself from the dragon, and that made TEK fall to the ground, gasping for breath. KO had no choice, but to use the /kill command on the ender dragon.

The Dragon was killed by KO. TEK witnessed this, bewildered. After that, TEK wouldn't accept defeat, and tackled KO knocking him down the hill. Her anger made TEK fight harder. KO fought back as well, but was almost defeated. At last, TEK cornered KO, and he had no where to run. Just as TEK was about to make her final blow, KO again used the /force on TEK.

KO's scepter could also absorb powers of living things, he just needed something to concentrate the power in. This is what KO used on TEK. KO first trapped TEK in an obsidian box, which gave enough time to take out the command block from his scepter, and put an ender crystal. Once TEK teleported out, KO started to absorb her powers. This prevented TEK from teleporting. Once he was done, TEK was left weak and powerless.

The ender crystal glowed like fire. However, once KO took it out of the scepter, it exploded. KO and TEK were pushed back by the force of the explosion. But, KO's command block was also pushed back, and once it landed on the ground, it did a command which teleported TEK to random coordinates.

### Chapter 5: Stranded

TEK fell into an ocean. Luckily, there was some land not so far away. TEK swam to the shore, and once she reached she was a changed stick figure. All the free-spirited gentleness seemed to have vaporized and was replaced by anger and violence. TEK swore to get revenge on KO. She build a home-base at the bottom of a mountain, which looked like an ordinary house, but it had a secret room. The room led to a study, where TEK tried brewing potions to at least temporarily get her powers back. There was also a map, which marked places where TEK was searching to find the location of KO.

KO on the other hand, decided to keep the ender crystal, which contained TEK's powers, even though it exploded every time he tried putting it into his scepter. KO now ruled over an army piglin brutes in the Nether, and was trying to find another way to find the master block. Soon, he met Purple, who was also in the nether (some time after AvLOL). Purple was happy to see KO, and told him that he knew the location of The Second Coming and The Fighting Stick Figures. The two teamed up once more, and this resulted in the events of AvM 22 onwards. Neither of them feared that TEK would return, as they both assumed she was dead.

Some of the Endermen and Skulkers who had rallied behind TEK been killed in the battle. The remainders found their way back to the End. It is hard to know whether they mourned the loss of their leader, The Ender Knight.

### Chapter 6: Showdown

Once Green convinced Purple to join him, the duo fly to the Nether portal. However, what they didn't know was that another stick figure was watching them. That stick figure was The Ender Knight.

*Approximately 45 minutes earlier…*

TEK was sitting on the porch of her cottage, looking as if she would just, *give up* searching for King Orange. Her brooding thoughts were interrupted when she though she heard something. She looked up, and saw Green and Purple. She instantly recognized Purple, but was puzzled as to the green stick figure was. But she didn't think about it for too long. If Purple was here, then King Orange could not be far behind. TEK quickly pulled out a map from her inventory, which showed the areas which she was searching. Only to discover that it did not show the Mesa biome Green and Purple had run into, because she had never ventured there. In frustration, TEK tore the map apart. She then looked at the sky again, and wasting no time, bolted after the two stickmen.

Once she arrived at the Mesa biome, the sun had set. TEK took out a lantern. Dangerous mobs were beginning to spawn, so TEK didn't have much time. After running for a while, she bumped into something. Something that she couldn't see. The only mobs nearby were two llamas. TEK got up continued to walk, only this time with more caution. Suddenly, the object she had bumped into removed his invisibility, revealing himself to be a Wandering Trader.

The Trader immediate began trying to get TEK to purchase his items, but TEK pushed him aside. The wandering trader was beginning to get desperate, up to the point when he started begging. TEK sighed, but then realized that she could use that to her advantage.

She pretended to hand the wandering trader an emerald, but as he was about to take it, TEK hid it in her inventory. She then showed the trader a picture of Purple, and asked him in which direction he want. The trader observed the picture for a minute or two, but then pointed the way. TEK tossed the emerald to the trader and set off.

It was getting darker, and TEK started to worry that she was getting lost. However, she finally entered the village. Most villagers were already inside their houses, but some were still making their way back to them. TEK beckoned to a villager, and showed him the picture of Purple. The villager began to get suspicious, as there was already a Green stick figure who wanted to find Purple, but nevertheless pointed TEK the way. TEK shook his hand and left.

TEK arrived in the plains. Some animals were asleep in their burrows, caves, nests, you name it. However, she spotted a fox, who seemed to be singing a lullaby for some baby foxes, who were presumably his children. TEK though that if a fox could sing, then surely it would understand her. She bent down near it, and gave a small wave. Instead of running away, like a regular fox, it gave a wave back. TEK showed it the picture of Purple.

The fox scratched it's head, though for a bit, but then made some signs for TEK to follow it. It lead her to the nether portal. TEK stared at the nether portal for a second, but then looked back down at the fox. She gave it a pet, and took a step forward to the portal.

Suddenly, a white blast came out, and it started to suck up everything. This was King Orange succeeding in his revenge, he had created some sort of 'white void'. The Ender Knight tried to escape, but ended up getting incinerated in the white blast.

In the white void, The Ender Knight is walking, but at the same time witnessing how King Orange lost his son and how Purple's mother died and his father leaving him. She is then reminded of the events of her time with both of them.

For some reason, the screen starts to glitch, and the ground beneath TEK's feet started to crack, and she ended up falling into the black void. As she fell, she saw glitching cursors. It all went dark for some time.

The Second Coming and The Fighting Stick Figures are shown trying to get the King Oranges scepter into the portal of ALANSPC, and they are successful.

As the nether was reconstructed the plains, which The Ender Knight was in before stepping into the portal, was as well. She fell to the ground, with dozens of animals by her side.

TEK tried to get up, very surprised. She stared at the portal in shock for a minute or two, catching her breath, but suddenly bolted inside.

She is then seen running through the nether, faster and faster as she knew that King Orange was definitely here. At last, she came to King Orange's bastion. He, Purple, The Second Coming, The Fighting Stick Figures, everyone who was in the battle had left. Realizing this, The Ender Knight started to search the bastion, as she was sure that KO had the crystal which contained her powers. As she was searching, she came across a hall way, and at the end of it, there was a room with a faint glow.

The crystal was in it. It was in a cage like thing, and it was clear that KO had Piglin Brutes guarding it, as there were golden axes on the floor. As The Ender Knight didn't have a pickaxe, at started pounding on the with an axe. After many attempts, finally she was successful.

Once she has acquired the crystal, the roof of the bastion explodes, only TEK is unaffected. She was happy that she got her powers back, but still wanted to get back to Ellen's PC. She started to randomly teleport, coming across many portals, but not her own. At last, after going some way behind the portal to ALANSPC, she found it.

Without second thoughts, she jumped through. She was home, only to reveal another shocking surprise.

### Chapter 7: Animator vs. Animation

The Ender Knight arrives at her PC, only to find someone poking around the files. This was not Ellen, but it was Jake, Ellen's roommates brother. He paused for a second when he saw TEK. She asked him who he was, and what he was doing. Jake just remained motionless, but eventually typed up the message "I'm sorry, but Ellen is dead. We think she has been murdered"

This was certainly not something The Ender Knight had expected. Jake took this opportunity to get rid of her. He could have deleted her if didn't destroy the tab and had fled.

TEK escapes into the internet after Jake tried to delete her. While traveling through the internet, she ends up in the Outernet. Like TSC and The Fighting Stick Figures, she was falling into the water, but levitated just in time. Once she reaches the cliff, she sees TCOs research lab. She knocks in the door for help, but no one answers. Suddenly, something swoops past her. Curious, TEK went towards the sound. Once she reaches a forest (which was near the lab), another creature swoops past, and another, and another, till it seems she's surrounded. The creature was one of TDLs virus, which was preparing to pounce on the confused stick figure.

It was only when The Ender Knight noticed the virus once it was mid air while pouncing, and she would been attacked by it if another creature hadn't knocked it away. This was not a creature however, it was a stick figure, The Chosen One. TCO and the virus began to fight each other. TEK on the other hand, thought that this mysterious stick figure was somewhat familiar, but then remembered, he was once partners with The Dark Lord, but fought along side The Second Coming when he had gone rouge.

Another sound disturbs these thoughts, a sound coming from another virus ready to attack TCO while he's distracted.

Without hesitation, The Ender Knight attacked the virus. It took her a while to get used to her powers, as she had gone so long without them, but once she did, handling the virus was much easier. TCO, however, was astonished to see that another stick figure had powers, and even more surprised to see such strength and courage from someone who looked rather weak.

At last, the virus couldn't take it anymore and fled, leaving the two stick figures out of breath. After catching his breath, it was now that The Chosen One could take a good look at TEK. She was very different from the other solid head stick figures he had met. TEK notices him watching, and decides to introduce herself. TCO listens, nods and turns to go.

TEK exclaims for TCO to stop, but he just kept walking away. She decided to follow him to ask where she was. At first, The Chosen One ignores her, though pauseing at her question, but when he realized she was desperate, he told her she was in the Outernet. TEK thought about this, she did remember King Orange mentioning that, but couldn't remember when.

TCO is surprised that TEK really doesn't know what this place is, and asks here where she's been. She replies that she was created in a computer, and has been trapped in Minecraft. She added that she doesn't have anywhere to go now. TCO listens to this, and thinks, he had seen TEK fight, and does seem to have a lot of potential. He then tells her to follow him. Once again, they end up at his research lab. Before they go in, The Chosen One offers that she can stay, if she helps him contain the virus, and track down where The Dark Lord is.

The Ender Knight, surprised at the offer, thinks about it. She couldn't go back to her PC, as Jake would probably still be there, and she didn't want to spend a moment longer in Minecraft. Eventually, TEK agrees. TCO and her go in the lab. It looked like TCO had been busy; books about coding, viruses and antiviruses lay here and there, something lay unfinished in the corner (nobody could tell what it was, it had such a strange design) and it just overall felt as if some disaster was coming.

Nevertheless, TEK proved to be a helpful assistant, and a wonderful guest. She knew very little about coding, but as she was willing to learn, she was able to code tracking devices and antiviruses along side TCO.

One day, The Chosen One finds The Ender Knight coding something. Beside her was some sort of model of a green bird, more specifically a falcon. TEK notices that TCO had come in, and waves. TCO waves back and observes what she's was doing, and waited until she was done. Once it was complete, TEK unplugs the falcon, and it's eyes seem to open. It acted like a normal bird, but followed the commands of it's creator, or creators, which in this case was TEK. TCO takes a step back as this AI creature stirred. TEK tells him not worry, as she had programmed it to only harm viruses and The Dark Lord. In addition to this, it was also immune to any virus, so it could tackle them with ease.

This AI bird looked around, processing it's surroundings. At once it recognized TEK. It gave little chirp. TEK scratched her head, it sounded more like a sparrow than a falcon. TCO also looked a little confused. As he took a step forward, the falcon made some angry squawks, and would have started to attack him if TEK hadn't stopped it. She had to convince it that TCO was a friend, not a foe. Once the Falcon calmed down, TEK signalled it to hop on her shoulder, then on her wrist. This was part of it programming as well, and she was experimenting if it worked or not. The bird obediently obeyed. So far so good.

However, The Chosen One still wasn't so sure about this creature.

Everyday The Ender Knight would let this green bird go outside, and it would always come back with something that looked like a piece of a Virabot. A couple days later, it actually came back with an entire live virus. It was desperately trying to get out of its grasp, but it wouldn't let it go until it's mistress and master decided what to do with it. TEK and TCO were trying to figure out how to stop the Virabot from struggling, and eventually TCO got fed up and used a tranquilizer on it. It stopped moving, but something still seemed strange about it. It had a camra attached! At once, TCO ripped it off the virus and gave it a punch so that it broke. This could be a sign that The Dark Lord had noticed that something had been destroying his Virabots. But TEK and TCO were even more worried that TDL now knew where they were

The Chosen One was extremely worried about what would happen, as they couldn't go somewhere else right out of the blue. The Ender Knight in the other hand, was starting to regret creating the Falcon, although she couldn't help wondering if it could help them get out of this mess.

With the increase in Virabots, and with them coming closer and closer to their base, TCOs stress was growing by the minute, and so was his anger, and eventually he just snapped and blamed TEK and the bird.

Wanting to put things right, one night she set off with the Falcon to track down The Dark Lord. She had to venture in the forest, as the Virabots were coming from there. The AI creature was puzzled on why it's mistress was out so late, but still flew beside her, it's emerald green feathers glistening in the moonlight.

The further they went, the more anxious TEK was becoming.

Suddenly the bird stopped, and gave a loud squawk. TEK turned around, only to see nothing. Falcon still kept making some confused chirping. Assuming it was a false alarm, she went on.

A couple steps later, Falcon gave another shriek, and flew away to some bushes. The Ender Knight, wondering what was wrong, ran after it. She came to find Flacon fighting with something, but it was too dark to tell what. The bird saw that TEK had followed it, and gave some distressed squawks, meaning that she should flee.

A click was heard. Something was being reloaded. TEK at once turned around, holding a sword made out of ender particles.

Flacon stopped fighting, and it seemed like it's opponent was gone.

Suddenly, TEK fell to the ground. It seemed like she had been shot by a dart-with a symbol of a red spider on it. The last things she saw before she collapsed were Flacon attacking something or someone. She only managed to signal the bird to get help, before she completely passed out.

Back at the lab, The Chosen One was asleep at his desk. He soon awoke to the sounds of flapping wings. He got up and found Flacon pecking at the window. Annoyed, he opened the window to let it in. It came in, making some panicked squawks. TCO wasn't able to process what was wrong, as he had just woken up, and tried to calm it down. Falcon settled down a bit, and led TCO to the room in which TEK normally did her research and slept.

The bed was empty. The front door was open.

TCO realized that something had happened to TEK, and rushed outside. Falcon led the way.

Once they arrived at the forest, it was already dawn.

The Chosen One was thinking that this was the last straw, The Ender Knight seemed like a bad luck charm to him now. Deeper and deeper they went, and soon they came to the place where TEK and the bird had their mysterious encounter. TCO looked around, and found something strange; the dart which TEK was shot with! Seeing this made him even more worried.

Suddenly TCO hears some noises. He also sees some birds flying away. He decided to check it out. Soon, he comes across a tree, which had been scratched- with claws. Another tree had brocken branches, and another was falling to pieces. TCO follows the trail, and at last meets The Ender Knight.

It *seemed* like TEK, but something looked very wrong. It looked like she had to stand with the support of a tree. She was also panting hard, twitching now and then. TCO slowly crept up to get a closer look and figure out what was wrong. Now he realized that she was darker shade of pink. Unfortunately for The Chosen One, he stepped in a twig, which gave him away.

TEK spun her head in surprise. TCO asked her if she was mad, sneaking off in the night, and more importantly, what was happening to her right now?

She didn't answer. Instead she told him that he needed to get away from her. TCO was taken aback, he wasn't expecting this answer.

Suddenly, The Ender Knight started to glitch! It seemed to cause her pain, as she fell to the ground. The Chosen One took a step back, and before he knew it, she had somehow glitched away. He saw her in the distance, now glitching even more. Then she glitched away again, over and over. TCO couldn't believe what was happening, but he had enough, and managed to get ahold of TEK. Something strange happened after he did this. TEK was glitching even more, but with each glitch, she turned a darker shade of pink, until she completely glitched out of sight.

TCO looked around, half in horror and half in confusion. He just stood there for a few minutes, in silence. But once he felt better, he turned around to see the Falcon perched on a tree. It had witnessed everything, and was sad to see it's mistress just vanishing into thin air, after acting really peculiar.

The Chosen One knew they had to get to the bottom of this, so he and the bird were on their way to base to figure out a plan. However, once they get to the clearing, they saw The Ender Knight standing right there. Anyone could notice that she was a much darker pink. TCO, relieved that TEK was okay, rushed toward her and asked what had happened. Instead of replying, she just punched him away! While the Chosen One was recovering from this, The Ender Knight shot ender charges at him. TCO dodges them, and in return shoots his energy spheres. TEK then starts levitating and shot light purple charges. It didn't take long for it to turn into a full blown fight.

The Ender Knight almost shot purple spikes at The Chosen One. He looked at them in surprise, that was new. TCO eventually cornered TEK by surrounding her with fire.

The Chosen One punched The Ender Knight so hard, that she went flying away. TCO noticed something about TEK however, while she was mid air; she started to glitch again. This time he also saw her coding appear with the glitches. This happened very fast; one second TEK was glitching and the next she stopped and was back to her original shade of pink.

It was only when TEK was a good distance away TCO realized that she was going to hit the nearby mountain. At once, he flew off to stop this from happening. Luckily he caught her just in time, when she just seconds away from crashing into the mountain.

The Ender Knight was unconscious, so The Chosen One hovered towards a ledge. He was also out of breath. A few minutes later, TEK regained consciousness, greatly astonished to see where she was. TCO saw that she was awake, and asked her if she was feeling alright, and what caused her to act up. TEK didn't feel so good, she felt dizzy and had a headache coming on. She couldn't answer the second question though.

TCO tells her that she went completely mad, fighting him and the Falcon. TEK couldn't remember any of that. The Chosen One sighed, and says that they should head back to base.

The Chosen One gets ready to fly, but The Ender Knight just snaps her fingers (if stick figures have fingers that is) and they end up teleporting back to the lab.

However something else was watching them when they were on the ledge. A Virabot. It has seen everything, even TCOs and TEKs fight. After TCO and TEK leave, it crawls further and further back the mountain, then higher, and eventually reaches a large crack. It crawls inside, and the deeper it goes the more creepier it gets. It looked a spiders nest, except with wires instead of web. At last, it reaches a metal door. The Virabot crawls inside, and bows to a red stick figure, who is hidden behind a large metal chair, his face towards a screen.

### Chapter 8

Back at base, The Ender Knight seemed to be showing more side effects of the dart; fever, lack of energy, and sudden rage outbursts. The Chosen One found it hard to cope when he had a sick coworker.

One day, early in the morning, The Chosen One went out for some fresh air. Suddenly, a newspaper hit him right smack in the face. He pulled it off and saw what read on the front page. It was about a stick figure, who was acting very strange, and had the same symptoms that TEK had, glitching and all. This meant that The Dark Lord was now shooting others with his dart. TCO ran inside the lab to tell TEK what he'd learned.

He told her that there was no time to lose, and had to find traces of TDL in the city. She became as anxious as him. However, she was too weak to help much, but accompanied The Chosen One anyway.

As it was still dawn, the city wasn't very busy, and it was fairly easy to get around if they kept to the alleyways. Once or twice, The Ender Knight thought she heard a scurrying noise behind her, but as soon as she turned around, whatever making the sound was gone.

After a few hours, more and more stick figures were seen on the streets, and it became rather difficult to look for evidence of The Dark Lord. The Chosen One, however, felt like they were very close, and couldn't stop. The Ender Knight, on the other hand, was exhausted, and couldn't go on.

The Chosen One had no choice but to wait as The Ender Knight caught her breath. TCO looked around the alley they were in. Something caught his eye on the wall, a wanted poster, a wanted poster of him. He ripped it off the wall and stared at it. No sooner than he did this, The Ender Knight heard the scurrying noise again.

They couldn't stay there any longer, and fled. Further and further they went, they came to a deserted area. The Ender Knight didn't like the look of this, as she heard the scurrying sounds yet again.

Suddenly, four stick figures came out of what seemed like nowhere. One black hollow headed stick figure, with a white filled head wearing glasses, one pixelated stick figure, one grey stick which looked like a lot like a sign symbol and one brown stick figure which looked similar to a cave drawing.

The two sides stared at each other for a minute, but the mysterious newcomers started to shoot them with their weapons. They were aiming at The Chosen One, in particular.

What happened next was a blur. One second TCO was dodging the bullets, the next him using his fire breath to dodge them. A bullet would have nearly hit The Chosen One, if The Ender Knight hadn't conjured a forcefield. However, the next second, she ended up in one of the mercenaries clutches. The mercenary put some kind of chains on her, which somehow prevented her from teleporting. Despite TEK's desperate struggles, she couldn't escape them. She ended up getting hauled away by the mercenary, in a truck with a rocket logo.

The Chosen One on the other hand, fled, the other mercenaries in his tail, and this led to the events of AvA VI.￼

## Personality

Before the betrayal, TEK used to be a very friendly, clever and warm-hearted stick figure. She would never, ever leave any of her friends behind, even at the risk of her own safety.

Despite her sweet tempered personality, she can be very fierce when she needs to be. One of her notable qualities also include her ambition for success. Although she won't go to extreme hights to get it, TEK's still very headstrong.

However, the fight with KO left her traumatized. This changed her personality greatly. TEK has a hard time controlling her temper.

She still tries to stay cool, but once provoked, it isn't be easy to calm her down.

Even though her attitude changed, her loyalty and kindness is still the same.

Sometimes she has trouble keeping up to her stronger and faster friends, but tries her best. However, TEK hates it when she gets teased because of it, and when she gets underestimated.

## Powers and Abilities

The Ender Knights powers include:

* Creating and firing Ender charges, similar to the charges that the Ender Dragon shoots.
* Creating light purple glowing charges that explode when thrown, releasing black smoke which suffocate anything within its range (Except for TEK herself, of course)
* Teleportation (Can take other people and objects along)
* Controlling ender particles (This allows her to levitate, manipulate objects telekinetically, and produce weapons comprised of ender particles)
* Rapid healing factor.
* Summoning the Ender Dragon and other End mobs when needed.
* Telepathic communication with End mobs.
* Sword mastery.

TEK isn't the strongest stick figure out there, and mostly relies on her speed and talent for combat. Other then wielding a sword, TEK is also good at brewing potions, treating animals, and building (similar to how Green is good at everything). However, TEK's weakness is redstone engineering and coding. She's terrible at it.

## Trivia

* The Ender Knight still hasn't forgotten nor has forgiven King Orange for what he did.
* TEK was originally meant to be shot with a tiny, red chip, which could crawl around like a spider, but it was eventually changed into a dart.
* When Ellen named her stick figure The Ender Knight, she wasn't trying to give her creation superpowers; she just thought The Ender Knight was a cool name.
* At first, Ellen was going to name TEK "Test", "Stick Figure" then "The Protector" and finally changed it to the original name.
* TEK understands the language spoken by Endermen.
* The Ender Knight was created on 16th December, the same date one of the authors, The Slimy Stump, created this page.
