## Overview

## Book Description

Dave and his friends have escaped the Nether, but now they're stuck in an endless snow biome with the person Dave hates the most in the whole word... Steve!

And if that wasn't bad enough, the evil Herobrine is hunting for Dave, and he's not going to stop until he finds him!

## Plot

Dave, Carl, Porkins and Steve chat as they trudge through the snow. At night, Steve builds a small house for them to sleep in.

The next day, they spot some majestic ice spikes in the distance. Porkins starts to feel cold, so Steve suggests making him leather armor, and they start hunting for rabbits.

Soon, they notice a rabbit, but quickly realize it is a baby polar bear. As they are fawning over it, the mother of the baby polar bear comes and attacks, and everyone runs. The group doesn't want to hurt the polar bears, so Steve builds a structure around the polar bears, and frees them with redstone from a distance. The polar bears leave, and Dave and his friends continue.

Dave, Carl, Porkins and Steve find an igloo, and they decide to sleep inside for the night. Suddenly, they hear something from under the igloo and discover a trapdoor under the rug. A ladder leads into an underground room, and everybody except Carl goes down it.

The room contains a brewing stand, a chest and two cells: one holding a zombie villager, the other holding a normal villager. Dave frees the normal villager, who thanks him, mentions someone called Ripley and runs away. He then figures out villagers can turn into zombies and vice versa, and the cure for zombification is a golden apple and a potion of weakness. With Steve's help, he brews the potion, and also gives the zombie villager a golden apple in a chest.

The zombie villager turns into a female villager, who says that she is the wife of the other villager. While she is talking, they hear noises above and see Carl and the other villager chatting. After she yells at him for some time, they continue their journey through the snow.

While they walk, the villager couple introduce themselves as Phillip (the male villager) and Liz (the female villager). Liz mentions that there is a giant golden statue of Steve in their village, but Phillip talks about an even bigger statue of Ripley. When asked who Ripley is, Phillip says he is an even bigger hero than Steve. He also talks about Ripley's marvelous feats and mentions that Ripley is a villager, which irritates Steve.

By late afternoon they reach Phillip and Liz's village, Snow Town. Two guards block their way before they enter, one of them named Barry, who is initially suspicious of Carl but lets him enter. After mentioning Ripley and all his amazing feats, he notices Steve and remarks that it is an honor to have him in their town.

The group enter the village and pass the golden statue of Steve and the larger, diamond statue of Ripley. After that, they enter an inn, where they rent rooms for themselves. Porkins and Dave chat about trying to cure zombie pigmen before after sleeping.

Some explosions awake the trio, who see that the town is burning and run to help. Steve, decked out in diamond armor, soon joins them and they rush towards the fire. They see a large group of villagers armed with iron swords and bows, and a wither.

The wither spits fireballs at the four of them, who dodge. Steve charges the wither but it flies up, rendering him unable to hit it. They discover that none of them have a ranged weapon and can do nothing.

Suddenly, Dave spots a rider wearing enchanted diamond armor on a horse, also wearing diamond horse armor. Dave realizes that the rider is Ripley. Ripley and his horse run towards the wither, firing arrows at the wither rapidly, inflicting a lot of damage upon it. The wither floats towards the ground, and Ripley chops its head off. A shining star-like object is left behind which he picks up. He then takes off his helmet, revealing a villager.

Everyone praises Ripley, including the mayor, who notices Steve and declares a banquet that night. At the banquet, Dave and his friends are happily chatting with the residents of Snow Town when Ripley comes to talk to Dave. He says that Dave's quest is a brilliant idea, and they chat for some time before Dave asks him how he became a hero. He says that when the village was attacked by zombies, he stepped forward, made a bow and sword, and defended the village.

Next, Ripley takes him to his basement, which is his training room. He activates a dispenser firing mob spawn eggs and uses a trident and his sword to kill them all. After that, he shows various parts of his training room, including Robo-Ripley, his robot sparring partner. He soon beats it. Then, he decides to join Dave on his journey. After that, Dave happily goes back to his inn to sleep.

The next day, Dave, his friends and Steve are asked to stay in town for some more time, to which they agree. During that time, Dave trains with Ripley, while Carl and Porkins relax. However, one day, as the trio chatted, they heard screams and ran to help.

They see that villagers had been zombified but can do nothing. Meanwhile, Steve comes to kill them and was about to strike the mayor's son, who had been turned into a zombie villager, when Ripley stops him. He then builds a cage around the zombie villagers, with dispenser of splash weakness potions and golden apples to cure them.

That night, they have another feast for Ripley, where Steve is absent, and Dave eats and celebrates a lot. He has a dream of a feast in his honor when he is woken by Porkins, who says he heard something. After that, the landlady rushes in and says Steve is threatening to blow up the town.

Steve shouts that the villagers worshipped Ripley instead of him and hence, he will blow the town up with TNT in the caves. Dave tries to reason with him but he doesn't listen and runs away. They follow him as Ripley heads the villagers out of town. He goes to Ripley's basement, and both sees TNT in the walls, and Steve in a cage. Dave asks him what happened because he had been threatening to blow up town 5 minutes ago. Steve says that he didn't and someone behind him says that Steve was innocent. The person was revealed to be Ripley.

Dave sees Ripley, Robo-Ripley and Robo-Steve; the robot clone of Steve who had threatened to blow up the town. Ripley says that he wanted all the villagers to hate Steve, because he thought Steve was treated unfairly because the villagers always treated him as a hero-hence he organized the Wither, the zombie villagers, and even the igloo. Then he makes the robots fight Dave in kill mode after which he leaves.

Dave breaks Steve out of his cage and the two of them fight the robots together, managing to destroy them. Them they go up the ladder and see Ripley evacuating the villagers. He calls Dave and Steve traitors but is interrupted by Robo-Steve who had survived. He says he will blow up the town and Ripley tries to stop him but fails.

Robo-Steve finds the switch and goes to activate it, but Porkins hits him with an arrow. However, he has other plans and enters the giant statue of Steve, which is actually movable. Ripley gets some redstone from Steve and manages to make the Ripley statue mobile.

Dave and the others evacuate the villagers while the statues battle. They soon disturb the TNT, and the town, Robo-Steve and Ripley are blown up. The mayor accuses Steve but Phillip, who had seen Robo-Steve, says it was him. As they chat, Robo-Steve suddenly lands in their midst.

Dave and Steve battle him but could not beat him when Porkins helped them out by firing arrows. The three of them manage to defeat him but he teleports away.

Dave builds a big (but temporary) house for the villagers until they rebuild their town again. After that, the four heroes leave until they reach a plains biome. Steve splits up from the rest as he wants to beat the dragon himself. Dave offers to teach him how to make eyes of ender, but he declines.

After that, they go to the Nether to see if the method of curing a zombie will work on a zombie pigman, but it doesn't. They make a house and go to sleep while it is raining and hear some enderman dying. In the middle of the night, Dave sees an enderman in their house and manages to kill it.

In the morning, they get 4 ender pearls and make eyes of ender. They follow them to a village where they rent rooms in an inn. When Dave asks the owner about endermen nearby, he mentions the Ender Hunters, a group of villagers hunting endermen. They offer Dave an Ender Pearl for 1000 emeralds, which he cannot afford, so instead the trio sign up to be Ender Hunters.

They ride out to a desert where they set up a temporary hut. They don Jack-o-lanterns to prevent the endermen from attacking them on sight and then kill them for 6 days. After that, the original Ender Hunters and the trio split the pearls half-half and then separate. Dave makes more eyes of ender and the trio follow the ender eyes to a swamp.

At night, they were about to make a house when they see a witch hut. The witch gives them shelter and food and they chat and mention their mission and their names. The witch says her name is Dotty and asks them how they find a portal after dinner when they fall asleep.

When they wake up, they see that they are in a cage of bedrock and iron bars, with lava below them. They see Dotty and Herobrine; her master. Herobrine says he will ask Dave how to find strongholds. If he lies, Porkins will fall in lava, and he will ask the question again. If he lies again, Carl will fall in lava, and he will ask the question the third time and Dave lies, he will fall into lava.

Dave did not know what to do when he heard his grandmother's (a witch) voice in his head. She tells him not to tell Herobrine what he wants to know. Dave lies thrice and all three falls towards lava, but some witches fly and catches them. She takes them to safety where there 10 more witches when Herobrine (having wings) flies towards them. As he flies over lava, the witches hit him with potions, and he falls in it.

However, Herobrine rises out of the lava and becomes giant lava Herobrine. The witches and the trio run through some caves and lose him but encounter Dotty and other witches working for Herobrine. As the good witches fight the bad witches, one of the good ones tell the three to escape through the Nether to prevent Herobrine from finding out the secret to discovering strongholds and destroying the world.

The trio go into the Nether but see as group of witches who had been anticipating it and blow the portal up with a giant iron and TNT machine. They are close to them to damage them but Dave goes close to the pigmen and the pigmen attack the witches. The trio reclaims their items from the witches and go far, far away.

As they run, Dave sees the book Old Man Johnson had given them and sees the page about Eyes of Ender is blank. However, as Dave looks at it it reappears. He realizes it had some magic that hid it from Herobrine. After running for some time, they make a portal and go through it.

The portal forms above water and Carl and Dave manage to stay on the portal blocks. However, Porkins comes through and all three of them fall into the water.

## Epilogue

Herobrine talks to the remaining Nether witches and hears about the trio's escape. He increases the lookout for Dave and also makes Isabella, one of the witches the leader of the pigmen and gives her the staff that can control them. After that, he says it is time to begin his conquest of the world.
