Minecraft Kaisen

Mahito: (I will attack Herobrine's vessel with sword while hitting the other with potions.)

Mahito rushes towards Player, swinging his sword. Player blocks the hits with his sword. Nanami tries to attack from behind but Mahito throws potions at him, forcing him to dodge away. Mahito continues to attack Player, while throwing potions at Nanami, not giving either any chance to attack.

Player dodges away and starts running away from him. Mahito chases after him. Player suddenly stops and immediately charges at Mahito, stabbing him. Nanami also comes from behind and slashes him with his sword. Before they could attack again, Mahito bounces away like a slime.

Mahito: (I would have to deal with the brat first.)

Mahito spawns 3 villagers and transforms them into zombies.

Player: You!

Mahito then orders them to attack the player. The zombie villagers run towards Player, ignoring Nanami. Player, unwilling to attack the villagers starts running away. He gets surrounded by them and tries to push them away with his sword but is overwhelmed.

Zombie-villager: P…Ple…Please…kill…me.

Player: …

Mahito forces Nanami to a corner and attacks him with potions. Unable to dodge them, he tries to deflect them with his sword.

Mahito: Those villagers will keep him occupied. Meanwhile, I will kill you here.

Nanami looks behind and smiles.

Nanami: You're wrong.

Player jumps behind Mahito and slashes him with his sword.

Mahito: (He killed them?)

Nanami prepares to slash Mahito.

Mahito: (This is my chance. I can hit him with a potion now th…)

He suddenly gets slashed by Player again, followed by a slash from Nanami. Both Player and Nanami continuously slash him from both sides, taking turns, overwhelming Mahito.

Mahito: (They are not giving me time to defend, nor split myself. Am I about to die? Wait. I can do that now.)

Mahito suddenly starts glitching. Player realizes what is about to happen and moves away. Nanami is unable to react in time. Suddenly the space around Nanami glitches and turns completely blank. The sky around him starts changing color rapidly like a disco.

Nanami: (So this is a glitched domain? Steve said that the mob he fought could use it. I didn't think he would be capable of doing that too.)

Mahito: Do you like it? Here you would be affected by all the negative potion effects. Even if you drink milk, as long as you are here, you will have the effects. You will die in no time.

Player who managed to get away sees that Mahito and Nanami disappeared. He moves closer to where they were and realizes that his path is blocked by invisible barrier blocks.

Player: So this is what a glitched domain looks like from the outside.

Mahito: (Player is outside so he won't be affected by the effects. He will soon die and then I can deal with Player myself.)

Nanami attempts to break the barrier of the glitched domain.

Mahito: The domain is designed in a way that it can not be broken from the inside. While these are not perfect barrier blocks, they are still hard to break. It will feel like trying to break obsidian. You will die before you break them.

Nanami: (I don't have much time left. I will die before I break the barrier. Player can break it from outside. According to Steve, glitched barrier blocks are weaker from the outside since they focus on keeping the entities inside, not on stopping entities from entering from outside, but it will be no use to enter the domain. He will only die if he enters. So I should focus on killing him while I can. If I damage him enough, he may not be able to maintain the glitched domain. That is the only shot I have.)

Nanami rushes towards Mahito but Mahito keeps dodging his attacks.

Mahito: I don't even need to attack you. You will die on your own.

Nanami: (Will I die here? Just one hit. One hit I can land on him. Just one…)

Suddenly the barrier block breaks and Player enters the glitched domain.

Mahito: Huh?

Nanami: What?

Mahito: (The barrier block is weaker from the outside. Which would mean…)

Herobrine: I told you. No second chances.

Mahito suddenly starts burning. This causes the glitched domain to be destroyed, returning them back to the overworld.

Nanami: The domain is over?

He looks at Mahito who continues to burn.

Nanami: (Did Herobrine do that?)

Player wastes no time and rushes towards Mahito. Mahito quickly gives himself fire resistance to stop the burning. He then splits himself in two and has one attack Player. Player slashes him, but the second Mahito gives himself a speed boost effect and runs away. Nanami tries to chase him but Mahito manages to get away. The Mahito clone dissolves into a slime. Player stabs it, killing it.

Nanami: He managed to get away.

Player: I will…kill him.

Mahito hides in a cave, having barely survived.

Mahito: That was exhausting. So Herobrine would cause me trouble if I try to fight Player. But now I want to kill him even more. I will…kill him.

Jujutsu Pros HQ:

Nanami: Because you entered the domain, Herobrine was put under the threat of being affected by Potion effects. Which is why he burned Mahito.

Player: But I didn't switch with Herobrine.

Nanami: He might have a certain level of control. He might not be able to take control of you, but he might be able to interact with other entities.

Player: Herobrine can burn others? He never used that before.

Nanami: He was called the god of Nether. He was known to use fire to kill his enemies. But he enjoys killing people with swords the most. Mahito managed to escape. The death of all those villagers will be blamed on Mahito, not the Baby-villager. You should rest for now. The tournament is getting closer.

Player: I thought we were supposed to protect the villagers. But I killed villagers today. This game was supposed to be fun. But if mobs like Mahito can kill villagers and players anytime.

Nanami: Every game has villains. Every player has to fight them. Sometimes the enemy can be too strong for the player to defeat. In most games, the player can just hit retry and act like nothing happened. It's a bit different here. That doesn't mean you can't enjoy the game. It's like real life. It's made that way to be enjoyable. The thrill of death makes life thrilling. It's the same with this game. Don't take it too seriously. Enjoy the game. Don't try to think what's right or wrong. Do what you know is the right thing to do, and continue doing so. As long as you know you're in the right. Nothing else matters.

Mahito meets up with Jogo, Alex, and the others in their hideout.

Mahito: Jogo! I'm glad to see you've healed completely now.

Jogo: I'm enjoying seeing you like this.

Mahito: Oh. Wanted to get rid of me so soon?

Alex: Well now that we know not to do anything careless, what have you decided?

Mahito: Jogo, we have to do it. We have to follow Alex's plan.

Jogo: So we have to force Player to burn all the Totems? We would have to steal all the Totems that Jujutsu Pros have. Why can't we just wait for them to have him burn the Totems?

Alex: The hire-ups at Jujutsu Pros are scared of Herobrine. They are afraid that if Herobrine's power increases, Player may not be able to control him, so they might avoid having him burn the totems that quickly. Also, some of them try to have him killed before Herobrine gets freed so we can't rely on them. It's best we steal all of them ourselves.

Steve and Nanami meet and discuss the abnormal mobs they encountered.

Steve: So these mobs can communicate, move, and fight like players. They look like 2 or more mobs mixed together. Have weird abilities and can use glitched domains.

Nanami: There have been no reports of any such mob before. All of these sightings started to happen ever since that day.

Steve: Which means…

Nanami: Yes. They probably were created when the first Totem was burned. Herobrine is behind them.

Steve: His resurrection after all these years glitched the game so hard, that cursed mobs have started to appear. Each can be considered a Herobrine in their own way. They might not be as strong as Herobrine as of now but if they became as strong as him, this game is very well doomed. Anyway, don't tell Player about this.

Nanami: Yes. He will blame himself for this. So, are you really gonna let him join the team? If you reveal it at the event, he will be targeted by the higher-ups again.

Steve: Player can handle himself now. You should know that much.

Player enters the room.

Player: Hey Steve! Oh, Nanami is here too. When are we going to reveal me to my friends?

Steve: You want to just go in front of them?

Player: Can't I?

Steve: They will be seeing you after so long. We have to surprise them. Something they all love.

Player: So what should we do?

Steve: Leave that to me.
