"Then, what should I do?! Again, I don't know who you are fighting, why, how, and exactly where I come into play!" Herobrine stiffly raises his hand before himself. You silence yourself at that que. 

"Simple. You do what you always. Hack through his firewall things, and find his location. I will handle everything from there. Got it?" He stares into your eyes sternly. You nod quickly in agreement. "Good. Now.. play around with it for a little bit. Do whatever you need. Just remember that you can't directly influence the game through that, so don't try any funny business... We will attack Entity tomorrow. You will need to be ready by then." He tells you. You just stare blankly, hoping it isn't obvious that you have been awake the entire time you have been here, only allowing yourself very few five minute naps when you absolutely need it. He walks back to the door, eyeing over his shoulder as if expecting you to get started right away. Ypu do so, pressing the expand button on the top right so it is about your size, and really easy to see. Like a tablet, a touch-screen keyboard appears right in front of it, allowing you to type, of course. You check around the page a little, noticing that when it is so large it is slightly transparent, so you can just barely see Herobrine's eyes watching you, as he slowly closes the door behind him. 

"W- wait a minute! Herobrine?" You ask suddenly. He opens the door a smidge, blank face, only his head poking through as ypu minimize the window before yourself. 

"Yes?" He asks, not at all hiding the fact that he is feeling impatient. 

"Um, how did you find my location then? I would imagine that since I haven't played this game in so long.. that it would be even harder to find me." You ask genuinely. If he could find you.. then others possibly could too. 

"...I just found a connection through to your old phone, seeing that it had some faint remaining signatures of you still on it." 

"But how?.." 

"You still have Minecraft installed on it, mooshroom." A very faint smile, and he shuts the door once again behind him. Wait.. You don't remember installing Minecraft on your old phone. The phone wasn't that old. You had only gotten it after.. Oh.. Jo-Joe... That makes a lot more sense now..

Even though you had just been wishing for something else to do. Now, you only wish you could go back to doing nothing. 

------------------------------------------------

Today's the day. Large baggy hoodie blowing up against your skin restlessly, large bags underneath your eyes, dry lips and sore neck, you know you will never truly be ready for what is to come, but at least you are prepared for anything. The small window of code is thankfully able to fit in your hoodie pocket, and at the ready is a plethora of commands ready to be commanded upon. 

You stand atop a tall hill which springs from the center of a full oak forest. Nothing but several differemt shades of green can be seen for miles. Beyond that, well, the distant fog won't tell. 

"Get ready." Herobrine stands at your right, eyes glaring forward at the wall of fog, his hand readjusting it's grip on his heavily enchanted diamond pickaxe every minute or so. You roll your eyes, having been ready for hours now. Thankfully you have only had to stand here for a few minutes, but what was supposed to be you resting was you triple checking your work, making sure you had Genie installed and bug-free. Ohhhh, how you hated programming in Java. One single grammar problem and the entire thing would crash. Luckily you only needed Java in order to have it run through and connect to the windows you were much more familiar with of your computer's. Second guessing yourself constantly, you wonder if you should have installed Eclipse instead. It seemed to run a little better and- 

A sudden deep blast broke through the wind, bringing up the rising sound of the trees baying creaking or even snapping at the new invisible source of low sonic waves. Or perhaps the shuddering throughout your entire body made it seem as though the earth around you was quaking. 

As if a movie villain was being introduced near the end of a movie, a glowing from the grey clouds above came down like a nail slowly being driven into wood. The wood being the atmosphere. You stare transfixed at the light as the orange swirling glow comes down on the earth like a firey tornado. More low blasts rise in the air, making the leaves quiver in waves you can visibly see atop the trees. 

"Is... That.. him?" You ask, the wind nearly pushing your hood off your head. 

"Yep." Herobrine answers blankly. You try to gulp, throat dry. Never before have you seen such a terrifying sight in person. Well... Guess that depends on what you count as terrifying, but still. 

The firey tornado finally reaches the ground, and soon after you see something shining even brighter shoot down through the fire like a bullet, forcing up rubble as an eruption sets a blaze to the forest nearest it, and a crater replaces what used to be nothing but a bunch of trees. Several more explosions like this happen, each time getting worse and worse until you have to grab the man beside you's arm just so you won't be blown away. Looking up at him with hair whipping your face, you see his expression is stiff-set and determined. Suddenly, a massive red sphere shines through the fire, falling like a stone to the earth, and nearly killing your ears the moment it lands. Red electricity shoots from the explosion, and you have to close your eyes. 

"...It's him..." You hear the man beside you growl. Quickly, you regain proper footing and rub your eyes, eyelids fluttering open and closed until finally most of the bright spots are cleared. Looking forward, you are not sure whether you should be underwhelmed, or terrified. Hovering above the massive crater is a humanoid creature made of blocks, like a Lego man. Like a Minecraft character. Pixels make up their outfit, as they are not ares realistic as you, Herobrine, or the strange world around you which is blocky in some ways and completely normal in others. Though they are pixely, you can make out a basic figure, one which looks like some mysterious person wearing a tearing light grey robe, hood over their head. You assume it's a guy, since he doesn't have the slim-arms you remember making such a big deal of when they first became a thing. It also just looks like the kind of skin a boy would make. As much as your mind wants to make fun of the oddity, it is also equally intimidated by the blocky eyes which stare back, showing emotion unlike the usual Minecraft skins. You don't exactly know how that is possible... You don't know how any of this is possible to be honest. But, his eyes still scare you a little. The whites are a dark crimson red, while the pupils are a firey red shade. As scary as eye-color is, especially if you are a blocky cube-man, what really gets to you is the sternness in them. The glare that looks like it is already planning out someone's doom. And those eyes, are looking directly.. at you
