Squall: Take this!

Squall punched one of the Wither Skeletons' as the Wither Skeleton was sent flying to the wall before falling to the ground and poof out of existence.

(Y/N): Whew...is everyone alright?!

Marie: I'm fine, Master~!

Willow: Same.

Squall: Me too.

You sighed in relief as you spoke up.

(Y/N): I'm glad everyone's alright. We should continue finding those Blaze Rods.

Everyone nodded as the four of you continued on walking through the corridors of the Nether Fortress until Squall spoke up.

Squall: Hey (Y/N), once we get these "Blaze Rods" what do we do with it?

(Y/N): Oh, you see...

You then began to explain to Squall and tell him the plan on getting everyone home.

Squall: I see. Kazuma has a plan to bring us back home is by slaying the Ender Dragon?

(Y/N): Yeah, I hope so.

That's when Marie stops you using her paw as you and Squall stopped in your tracks.

(Y/N): Marie, what is it?

Marie: Shh, listen...

Everyone stood quiet as they heard the sound of a Blaze breathing close by.

Squall: What is that creature?

(Y/N): Blaze.

Squall: That's a Blaze?

(Y/N): Yeah.

Willow: (Y/N)...we found the monster spawn with Blazes...

(Y/N): Looks like we hit a jackpot. Okay, everyone. I want you to kill every Blaze so we can get the Blaze rods.

Squall: How much do we need again?

(Y/N): I think for about...twelve blaze rods.

Squall: Alright, it sure seems easy.

Marie: Master, do we have any food?

You checked in your inventory to see a lot of food.

(Y/N): Plenty enough for us. Okay everyone, on three. 1...2...3!

The four of you ran out of cover and charged towards the Blaze rods and began to kill them.

(Y/N): Okay, I think we've got enough Blaze Rods! Let's skedaddle outta here!

You yelled out as the four of you followed the torches and ran back to the entrance.

Once the four of you got to the entrance, you see Megumin, Yuuki, Iris, and Amy waiting at the entrance as they see you four.

Megumin: Ah, there they are!

(Y/N): Hey y'all!

Amy: Lord Squall!

Squall: Been a while hasn't it, Amy?

Amy: How did you end up here?

Squall: I've been looking for you and Mia this whole time before I ended up here. Everyone in Samuido was worried that the two of you just mysteriously disappeared without a trace.

Amy: Oh...I see.

Amy says as she lowers her head in sadness.

Yuuki: Come on, Amy. Cheer up, I know Kazuma has a plan to get us back home, it won't take long.

Amy: Yeah, maybe you're right.

(Y/N): Anyways, I've got all the blaze rods, we should head back to the others.

Everyone nodded as we all left the Nether Fortress and followed the trace of the torches back to the portal.

Eventually, everyone got out of the portal as Melissa spoke up.

Melissa: Now that we have all the ingredients we needed, what's next?

Kazuma: The next thing we need to do is to craft the Eye of Ender!

Megumin: "Eye of Ender"? What's that?

(Y/N): Uh hold on...

You said as you flipped through the pages of the book to find the meaning of it until you found it.

(Y/N): Right here. It says "An is a craftable item used to locate strongholds and activate the portals within them."

Iris: So this "Eye of Ender" can be able to locate strongholds?

(Y/N): Yeah, that's what it says in the book. In order to find a stronghold to get to the End world. In order to make one, we're going to need blaze powder and ender pearl. Does anyone have Ender Pearl?

You asked everyone.

Everyone: Nope.

(Y/N): Well that's just great. Wait, I thought everyone had the materials ready. Has anyone ever killed an Enderman before?

Amy: No, not really.

Mia: They're tall and scary to fight! They even made scary noises if you look at them!

They pointed out.

Mitsurugi: That's true, but there's an alternative way to kill them easily.

Squall: What are you suggesting?

Mitsurugi: Alright, in order to get ender pearls is by killing Endermen. We will make a small "trap".

Marie: A small trap? How?

Marie tilted her head in curiosity.

Mitsurugi: I'll show you.

Mitsurugi pulls out an iron shovel and began to instruct everyone as they all listened to him.

Mitsurugi: First: Dig out a 3x3 hole. You can replace the floor, like me. Now, make a small roof using slabs. Leave 1 slab open though. We will place a trapdoor here. This will be entrance and exit.

He says as everyone watched him in awe.

Mitsurugi: This should do. Next, we're going to need to enchant our swords with loot 1 or 3 with sharpness if you can.

Iris: Oh, I see~!

Skelly: I see you have a good plan, Mitsurugi.

Mitsurugi: Ahaha, thanks!

Aqua: Anyways, since Mitsurugi built a small trap, can we try to kill an Endermen under that thing?

Darkness: I think we can. We did have blaze rods that we had in the Nether Fortress, but we didn't get Ender Pearls.

Melissa: I guess it's true, we didn't really bother fighting the Endermen.

(Y/N): Alright then. Everyone should rest up, Kazuma, Mitsurugi, and I will fight the Endermen at night to get Ender Pearls.

It's been three nights as you, Kazuma, and Mitsurugi got all the ender pearls and the materials you all needed for the Eye of Ender.

(Y/N): Alright everyone. I think it's time we're ready to fight the Ender Dragon.

Kazuma: Mmhm.

Mitsurugi: Yeah!

(Y/N): To get to the Ender Dragon. We have to get to the End world, we have to find the Ender Portal and it's different from the Nether Portal. In order to find the portal, we use the Eye of Ender to find its location. We throw this thing and it will go in the air and then land so it could point us in that direction to where the Stronghold is. We just keep following it until it stops.

You instructed as you continued.

(Y/N): There are 12 slots around the End Portal which can be activated by using the Eye of Ender. We have too much Eye of Ender with us, just in case if we lose it. Anyway, here we go!

You said as you throw the Eye of Ender on the air and everyone began to follow it. It keeps disappearing every time it stops in the air as you keep throwing it in repeat until it eventually reaches the stronghold location.

This goes on for about 2 minutes until it stops and finally reached its location as you spoke up.

(Y/N): Hey, I think this is it!

Willow: You sure?

(Y/N): Yeah, this is the spot right here. Everyone, be sure to dig straight down with your shovels!

You said as everyone pulled out their shovels and dug straight down until everyone found the stronghold.

Kazuma: We're here! This is the Stronghold!

Kazuma says in excitement as everyone looked around.

Darkness: Whoa, so this is what a stronghold looks like.

Megumin: Yeah, it looks a little old than I expected, and there some mosses on the walls too.

Yunyun: Hey everyone, there a four paths around us. Which way do we go first?

Yunyun asks as Arue spoke up.

Arue: I think we should try leaving the torches until we find this End portal.

Squall: Good idea, everyone spread out into groups and yell if you found the End portal.

Everyone: Okay!

Eventually, everyone began to spread out in four paths.

About a minute or two, you found the End Portal with Yunyun, Marie, Willow, and Mia.

Mia: Is this...

Yunyun: ...an End Portal?

(Y/N): Yeah, this has to be. Everyone stay here, I'll go get the others.

You told them as you sped off to get everyone.

Squall: Is this the portal to the End World?

(Y/N): Yeah, this is it.

Everyone looked at each other as Kazuma spoke up.

Kazuma: Is everyone ready to defeat the Ender Dragon?

Arue: We Crimson Demons are ready to take down the Dragon with our strongest magic!

Iris: Yes, defeating the dragon will return us home.

Megumin: I agree.

Amy: Me too.

Mia: Yuppers!

Melissa: Mmhm~

Darkness: Okay, since everyone is prepared. (Y/N), I want you to do the honors.

You nodded at Darkness as you placed the Eye of Enders around the slots of the End portals as you finally placed the last Eye of Ender at the bottom until the End portal activated. Everyone looked at the portal and only to see the void as you turned to everyone and spoke up.

(Y/N): It's now activated. Once we enter this portal, there's no going back, got it?

Everyone nodded in confirmation as they all had determined looks on their faces as you spoke up.

(Y/N): Okay...jump!

You yelled as you jumped straight into the portal and everyone followed behind you.
