Chapter 4: Creating The Portal

The Nether

It was light and Matthew was running away from all the Nether mobs that were chasing him and all around him was all bright with loads of pools of lava. When Matthew got to a place where not as many mobs were, he found a place made of Nether bricks and two blocked high Nether fences for windows. He went inside and found a hall and Nether steps leading up. Matthew went upstairs and found a chest in the corner just sitting in the damp corner. He knew there were valuable objects in a chest in the Nether. Matthew walked towards it. When he got to the chest, he opened it and surprisingly there wasn’t anything inside. This meant minecrafters were already here. The only way a minecrafter can get to the Nether is by building a Nether portal. Maybe if he found it, he can get out of there. He closed the chest and made a right. In the ceiling, he found quarts so he mined it with his iron pickaxe. Matthew knew wither skeletons have iron swords so if he can kill a wither skeleton, he’ll have a sword. He kept walking and found a wart farm on two sides and in the middle were stairs going up. Before he got his feet on the steps, he took all the wart. The only way to grow wart is to have soul sand under it. He also took all the soul sand. Once he was done, he continued going up and heard Nether mobs getting attacked and heard screaming.

“Hello?” asked Matthew.

But no response. He continued going up. When he was on ground level, he saw a wither skeleton spawner, a bunch of wither skeletons, and two minecrafters fighting them. One was a boy who was a little shorter than him. He had blonde hair, black pants, a short red turtleneck sweater shirt, and a point like nose. The other was a girl with purple glasses, dark brown hair, black tights, vans shoes, and a jean jacket. Matthew ran to help them kill the wither skeletons and destroyed the spawner.

The girl said “Thanks… who are you?”

“I’m Matthew,” Matthew responded.

“Oh hi Matthew I’m Miles,” the boy said introducing himself.

“And I’m Sienna,” said the girl.

“Hi can we try to find a way out of here because I fell into a pit which leads to the Nether. I fell into a pool of lava but I didn’t die and now somehow I ended up here,” said Matthew.

“Oh. Umm… I’m sorry but we’re also stuck here too because a ghast destroyed our portal,” explained Miles.

“Well I hope my friends Taiyo and Madilyn help us out of here,” said Matthew.

“So you’re not alone?” asked Sienna. 

“Yeah except my friends are in the overworld,” Explained Matthew. “Hang on. Guys, do you know Herobrine?”

“Yeah we heard on the news that he came out of this-” started Sienna.

“Wormhole?” Matthew continued for Sienna. “Was there a witch and did the wormhole appear in the arctic?”

“Yeah,” Sienna responded.

“Oh and guys, I hate to tell you this but, I’m the past of Herobrine,” Matthew said. “I know this doesn’t make sense, but your gonna have to believe me.”

The Forest Biome

“If we’re going to go to the Nether, we need to create a portal. And to create a portal, we need obsidian. We also need to be prepared,” Taiyo said.

“So this means we’re going mining!” Madilyn said enthusiastically.

“Ok. I’ll do the fighting, Madilyn will mine, and Witch will place the torches and alert if something dangerous is about to unfold,” said Taiyo. 

Taiyo opened the chest, gave Madilyn the two stone pickaxes, one iron pickaxe, some cooked mutton, Taiyo gave Witch about forty torches and some cooked porkchop. Taiyo also got himself an iron sword and cooked steak. He also gave himself milk incase one of them gets poisoned. All right. Ready guys?” asked Taiyo.

“Ready,” said Madilyn and Witch together. 

“When I was going to the Arctic, I saw a cave,” said Taiyo.

“So you lead Taiyo,” Madilyn said.

“Alright let’s go!” said Witch.

Taiyo and Madilyn just stood there confused.

“Oh I thought this was ‘an everyone to do’ thing,” said Witch.

Taiyo went out the house followed by Madilyn and Witch. The sun was setting and got into the minecarts but there was only two.

“C’mon let’s get iron and craft another minecart,” said Witch. “There is a cave near here.”

She led them across a lake, made a right, and there it was, a deep pitch black hole as if it was fracked permanently. Witch jumped onto a stone block not too deep down while placing torches, until she reached the stone ground.

Usually, minecrafters place torches through the hallway of the cave so they aren’t able to get lost since they make a trail.

Witch was in the front, Madilyn was in the back, and Taiyo was in between. He felt kind of embarrassed that he was the only male. Witch heard some clanking, spider hissing, and groaning.

“Taiyo get ready there are mobs nearby,” said Witch. 

“Okay,” he responded.

Taiyo went ahead of Madilyn and was where Witch was and walking at the same speed. Taiyo saw two green arms sticking out of the darkness, red glowing eyes, and the very edge of an arrow.

“Charge!” roared Taiyo.

He was able to strike out two spiders and three zombies while ducking the arrow that was flung by the skeleton. Witch chopped off the head and fell to the ground. There were eight zombies, four skeletons, three creepers, and six spiders precisely, but there may be more in the pitch darkness.

“There’s too many of them!” cried Witch.

“We have to try!” Taiyo shouted back while jumping onto a creeper and striking it with his powerful iron sword. There was a music disc and two gunpowder. Taiyo shoved them up and stored them in his inventory.

“Guys we just need three more gunpowder to make TNT!” yelled Taiyo.

“Okay on to it!” Madilyn responded.

Madilyn threw the pickaxe at two creepers as if it were a boomerang and returned to her with a strong grip. She kept fighting off other mobs while Taiyo picked up the three gunpowder.

“Taiyo behind you!” cried Witch when a spider jumped onto him and bit his neck.

“Arrrggghhh!” roared Taiyo. He rolled over and killed the spider. Everything was dizzy and blurry and heard voices in the background.

“Taiyo are you all right?” asked Madilyn.

He pulled out the milk and drank it.

“Yeah,” Taiyo responded weakly.

“You rest we’ll fight off the rest of the mobs,” said Madilyn.

“Okay. You can use my sword,” Taiyo responded.

“Okay thanks we’ll wake you up until the fight is over,” said Madilyn.

Witch took out three zombies while Madilyn took out two zombies and one skeleton.

“I’ll kill the skeletons and you take out the spiders!” said Madilyn.

“Okay!” said Witch.

Madilyn took out two skeletons and Witch killed three spiders.

“Almost done!” said Witch.

Madilyn took out another skeleton and Witch finished off the spiders.

“Watch out Witch!” yelled Madilyn while an arrow was firing towards her.

She covered herself with her sword and the arrow missed right above her head. Madilyn charged for the skeleton and the skeleton split right in half.

“You good? “I am,” said Madilyn.

“Yep. BUT TAIYO ISN’T!” shouted Witch.

The three zombies was biting Taiyo and an extra two creepers went towards him.

“Taiyo!” cried Madilyn.

Taiyo was now a zombie, one creeper destroyed the zombies, and the other creeper destroyed the ground and Taiyo fell down the hole and was getting washed away down a stream of water.

“NO! NOT AGAIN!” cried Madilyn and started to sob. “He’s de – .”

“Don’t say that you never know,” Witch cut off with tears streaming down her cheeks. 

“Well we gotta save him! Taiyo can’t just live the rest of his life as a zombie! It’s 8 o’ clock and the sun is almost down, good timing,” said Madilyn wiping off her tears. 

“Okay let’s go before the sun is back up!” said Witch wiping off her tears as well. “I’ll make shelter for Taiyo while you lead him in.”

Witch went to the side of the house. She placed two fences lined up on one side and then the other so it’s symmetrical. Then she place two gates so Madilyn can get through the first one and then when Madilyn came out through the other gate, Witch will close the gate so Taiyo was locked up.

“Okay, so to cure a zombie, we will need a golden apple and a potion of weakness,” said Witch.

“I have twelve gold ingots and three apples. But I don’t have a potion of weakness,” said Madilyn.

“That’s alright, I already have a bunch of potions of weakness in my hut. So lets go there unless you would like to watch over Taiyo,” Witch responded.

“Okay, I’ll watch Taiyo when you do your thing,” Madilyn said.

Witch went running to the mine cart in front, rolled all the way to the Arctic where her hut was, went to hut, opened her chest, and grabbed two potions of weakness incase Taiyo is to strong for only one. Now she went back to the mine cart, all the way back to the village in the Forest Biome, and ran to Madilyn.

“Okay.” said Madilyn. “Go splash those at Taiyo and I’ll feed hime the golden apple.”

“Alrighty,” Witch responded. She threw both potions of weakness at Taiyo and then Madilyn fed Taiyo the golden apple. They saw his skin turn green. his ragged clothes becoming neater, and back to his same old black hair.

“TAIYO!” YOU’RE BACK! YAY!” Madilyn shouted joyfully.

“Yay! Thank you for curing me guys,” said Taiyo.

“Our pleasure,” Witch responded happily.

“How’d I become a zombie?” asked Taiyo.

“Well, a few zombie started feeding on you but then two creepers crept up behind, exploded, and created a house hole in the ground and you fell into a stream of water,” explained Madilyn.

“Oh okay. Well then lets continue with our cave journey,” said Witch when Madilyn gave Taiyo back his iron sword.

The Nether

“You’re Herobrine?” asked Miles holding his sword towards Matthew.

“Woah! Geez I can explain if you can just put away your sword!” Matthew said backing away.

“But how?” asked Sienna also raising her sword.

“Well, I dunno. I mean, we have no idea how much older Herobrine is than me. I can be him when he’s like, dead! He probably dies and maybe he revives and he becomes evil!” said Matthew. “Now please put away your swords.”

“We will put away our swords, but you will be in ropes,” said Miles suspiciously. Miles opened his bag, took out two yards of rope, and tied it around Matthew’s hand, but left a few feet to grab the rope.

“I think that’s tight enough Miles,” said Sienna worriedly.

“This should do,” Miles said making another tug.

“Ow, please loosen it,” Matthew said looking at his red hands.

“Miles, I think I should’ve done the tying,” Sienna said taking the rope and loosening it a little.

“Thanks.”

“Anytime.”

“I like how you’re saying that as if he isn’t guilty,” Miles said angrily. “Well, we’ll have to ask you a few questions. Number one, why are you here?”

“Er- well, it’s a long story…” Matthew responded puzzled. ” I don’t even know where to start. But this is what I remember. Me and my friend Madilyn were trying to get out of a cave because it started shaking and the rocks started to collapse. And there were traps, so we built a skinny bridge across a pool of lava and I fell, which wound up being a portal to the Nether.”

“Wow, uhh… very descriptive,” said Sienna.

“Thank you.”

“Well, you’re gonna be building a portal out of here,” said Miles demandly.

“Or what?” Matthew asked cooly.

“Or it’ll be an off your head thing,” Miles said without even thinking.

“Fine,” Matthew said.

“I think you’re taking it a little too far,” Sienna said to Miles. “He just got here and we are his first people he met.”

The Forest Biome

“Hey there’s a bunch of redstone here, that means if you dig more under it, there will be diamonds. And diamonds are also near lava,” Madilyn explained.

“How the hell do you know all of that?” asked Taiyo.

“I looked it up,” Madilyn responded mining the redstone. Then, she dug down a few blocks down and saw some glimmering blue lights of diamonds. “OH MY GOODNESS!”

“What? What is it? Did you find diamonds?” Taiyo and Witch asked enthusiastically.

“No, I found dirt,” Madilyn said sarcastically. “IT IS DIAMONDS!” She said while mining them. Surprisingly, when you mine diamonds, there is lava under it. But when Madilyn mined them, there was no sign of lava.

“Wow, actually there ain’t no lava under it,” Witch said.

“BOOBY TRAP!” Taiyo yelled running back up the cave grabbing Witch’s and Madilyn’s arm and pulling them up the cave.

They saw explosives and fire and lava streaming everywhere. Whatever Taiyo did, that is really congratulative.

“Wow! Thanks for saving our lives! Witch and Madilyn said.

“It’s nut-tin. I read in comics that when a minecrafter mined diamonds when there wasn’t any laval under, it all went boom,” Taiyo explained.

“Wow, I guess fiction and help reality,” Madilyn said impressively.

“Indeed,” Witch said. “How many diamonds you got?”

“Uhh… twenty six,” Madilyn said counting.

“Twenty six?!” Wow we can make a full set of armor with that!” Witch explained.

“But that isn’t the reason why we got these, we got it to get diamond pickaxes to mine obsidian, and maybe if we have extras, we can make diamond swords and like you said Witch, armor.

“Yeah, this is gonna be great,” Taiyo said. “We should continue with this cave and get a bunch of buckets of water.”

“Okay, we have at least two packs of iron ingots in our chest, we just gotta fill it with water, Madilyn said. We can make five iron buckets.”

“Okay. Witch, you carry the buckets and you’ll be the one grabbing the water. Madilyn, you get the buckets from Witch and give it to me when I take out the fire and lava,” Taiyo said.

“Okay, great plan,” Witch said.

“Taiyo went to their house, opened the chest, grabbed eighteen iron ingots, closed the chest, went to the crafting table, crafted five iron buckets, and gave all of them to Witch.

“Okay, here we go,” said Witch. She placed down three iron buckets, filled up two with water, and gave them to Madilyn. While Madilyn went to Taiyo to give him the buckets and take out the fire, Witch grabbed another two buckets, filled it with water, and gave it to Madilyn when she ran back to Witch. And again, Madilyn ran to Taiyo and Taiyo gave Madilyn the two empty buckets while Madilyn gave Taiyo the other two buckets. After that, Madilyn gave Witch the two empty buckets to fill with water and they kept doing that on and on until all the fire was out.

After a few minutes later, it was dark and they have finished….
