Chapter Text
12:08 am
"You and I both know spoke, nothing built can ever truly last forever"
The sound of the only command block on the server echoes through the cold halls of the obsidian prison, the sound of fighting not too far away can be heard faintly from outside Jamato stands in front of spoke unmoving, fully aware of the consequences that will come from his next choice. Spokes heart races his eyes dart around desperately looking for any possible way to prevent Jamato from doing anything.
"Don't Bother, there's nothing you can do to stop me, you take even one step closer and I'll finish it"
The command block lay in the centre of an almost complete wither 2 skulls on either side with only one missing being the middle, the command block hums as if it knew it was being acknowledged
"Just admit it Jamato you've lost, th-theres no reason to end the entire server over that"
"It was bound to happen one day spoke everything must come to an end, the mafia, the law, hell even this between you and I will eventually end, this server is just an endless cycle over and over and over again"
Sweat begins to drip down spokes face a drop hits the obsidian floor. This conversation feels like its lasting a life time spoke is beginning to worry about Jumper and Mapicc who are fighting what's left of the null outside. He can hear the sound of totems popping, golden apples being eaten, people repotting. He needs to find a way to stop Jamato quickly.
"Jamato Listen, it..."
Spoke pauses for a second thinking about his next words carefully.
"It doesn't have to end this way, the server doesn't have to have an end."
Jamato hesitates holding the last skull in his hand now, he looks to spoke and then back to the wither, his hands are shaking very unlike him. He's scared but in his mind, this is the only way. He speaks up hands trembling.
"Well... We'll see about that"
Spoke starts to run towards Jamato screaming for him to stop, but its all in vain Jamato places the final skull, spoke stops dead in his track the room begins to violently shake. Jamato speaks to spoke trying his best to stay calm despite the situation he's put the server in.
"You have ten minutes before it fully forms, I suggest you get out of here while you still can"
And he's gone, teleporting away with a stasis, spoke is completely frozen he can't move all, he stares up at the wither forming pieces by piece little by little as the room shakes more and more. Nothings getting through to him all his mind can think about is Jamato, Why? Why go this far? Why almost guaranteed doom the server forever? He thinks someone is yelling at him, it kind of sounds like mapicc?
"SPOKE WE NEED TO LEAVE RIGHT NOW COME ON"
Mapicc grabs spokes arm pulling him out of the building almost dragging him as they run as fast as possible to hopefully find any possible way to escape what's about to come. Mapicc keeps yelling at spoke but none of it is getting through to him. He's completely broken wrapped up in his own mind, his own thoughts. Mapicc keeps pulling him along as he spots jumper fighting off the few null that are left he calls out to her.
"JUMPER WE NEED TO RUN RIGHT NOW"
The null turn to look to spoke and Mapicc as they do a bright glowing silhouette rises into the sky from the obsidian building sucking in blocks around it, they stop fighting completely struck with fear. Jumper looks to it as well as she does the beast unleashes a roar unlike anything anyone has heard before echoing through the server. The sky darkens animals and monsters run away. Mapicc yells again to Jumper.
"COME ON WE NEED TO MOVE"
Still dragging spoke by his arm not letting go. 5 minutes remain.
"WE ONLY HAVE 5 MINUTES COME ON"
Jumper springs into action running along side Mapicc and spoke, the ground trembles and shakes with each second they spend here, One of the high ranking Null soldiers yell out to the others.
"QUICK TO THE PEARL CANON"
They run towards the canon with the null soldiers hoping they can get to the canon before them 4 minutes remain, Jumper splash the trio with speed 2 they run past the null soldiers spoke still lost in his mind begins to mutter words to himself, however no one can hear what he's saying to himself there's bigger problems ahead of them at the moment. They get to the pull canon room after what seems like years despite not even 30 seconds having past. Jumper throws Mapicc obsidian.
"BLOCK THE ENTRANCE QUICK ILL READY THE CANON"
Another ear piecing roar is let out by the ever forming wither, Mapicc finally lets go of spoke, he's gone completely limp laying on the floor unmoving with a completely horrified look on his face. Mapicc blocks off the entrance in seconds the null soldiers begin banging on the obsidian yelling to let them in. Jumper jumps off the top of the pearl canon its ready to be used. They both turn to spoke laying limp on the floor Mapicc pick him up and throws him over his shoulder. The room shakes violently as obsidian starts to crack and turn into crying obsidian from the force of the it. Jumper looks to spoke on Mapicc shoulder and slaps him across the face just as Mapicc lines spoke up in the pearl canon, this seemingly snapping him out of it for a moment.
"THROW YOUR PEARL NOW SPOKE"
Spokes fight or flight senses quick in throwing the pearl Mapicc put in his hand, he turns to them looking at their faces, he yells
"WAIT-"
Before he could get the word out his pearl traveling almost a million miles a hour crashes directly into spawn quickly equips a totem to prevent himself from dying from the impact of it, He slides down the wall he landed on completely collapsing again at the bottom, the sky all over the server is completely dark lightning strikes at random despite it not raining, he lies there in the dirt his consciousness fading in without realising he passes out in the dirt near spawn.
Meanwhile with Jumper and Mapicc almost all the obsidian has become crying just from the force of the creature, the null soldiers are piling up outside the blocked entrance trying their best to get in, Mapicc looks to Jumper handing her one of the last two pearls he has.
"YOU FIRST JUMPER"
She lines herself 30 seconds remain, she tosses the pearl flying towards spawn as she does she turns to Mapicc and tells him one thing.
"Don't miss"
She flys towards spawn landing right above where spoke did sliding down the wall she crashes on to him knocking him awake again, lightning strikes just 4 blocks away from them. Mapicc begins to line up his shot the obsidian beginning to break from the force another ear piecing roar comes from the wither, as apart of the blockade begins to break open, null soldiers begins crawling in. Mapiccs hands shaking he throws the pearl as hard as he can as he does a Null soldier runs to him striking him popping his last totem they grab him and start to shake him yelling. The null soldier gets pulled out of the room like it there was a blackhole sucking him away. Mapicc watches in horror as the obsidian is pulled out from underneath him.
Spoke is knocked awake by Jumper crashing on top of him, he seems to be out of the trance after only knocked out for a few seconds he sits up looking to jumper he shakingly pushes himself off the ground and says on the brink of tears.
"Wh-Where's Mapi-"
A pearl hits him square in his chest plate knocking him into the wall behind him leaving him on 3 hearts from the dust Mapicc gets up from the ground, spoke grabbing his throbbing head pushes himself off the ground asking what was that, only to see Mapicc standing in front of him. He runs to him wrapping his arms around him crying.
"Mapicc I-I I thought you were gone"
Mapicc chuckles a little pulling back from the hug a bit saying
"Spoke bro did you really think I would die that easily like come on"
Before Spoke can say anything further Lightning strikes next to them as a roar can be heard millions of blocks away. They pull away from the hug dusting themselves off jumper tosses them a golden apples each, they look towards where the roar came from. A bright flash of light can be seem in the distance. It's fully formed now. An explosion roughly one hundred thousand blocks wide can be seen from that direction, wiping out almost everything their not even leaving obsidian. The beast roars again echoing through the server heads turn to it old players fall to their knees realising what is upon them. A bright purple beam emerges from the crater.
The time is now 12:28 am. A wither storm has now been fully unleashed on the unstable server.
