Kusakabe: Has anyone ever fought Steve in closed combat, without commands?
Panda: I tried hitting him once, didn't land.
Jesse and Kevin: I have.
Kusakabe: Was he strong?
Jesse: I couldn't imagine how fast he fights.
Kevin: He beat the shit out of me.
Kusakabe: Yes. Exactly. What I mean is, I don't know what happens next and how he does it. He just will...
Steve stabs Herobrine and slams him into a wall. He drags him through the wall, jumps, strikes him, knocking him into another wall, stabs him again, and drags him across it. He throws him into the ground and attacks him from above. Herobrine dodges away but Steve appears behind him and strikes him in the back. He again strikes him but Herobrine blocks the hit and attacks him with his other sword. Steve dodges the hit and gets away from him.
Steve: What happened? Nothing without your commands?
Herobrine: …
Steve takes out TNTs and launches them toward Herobrine. He dodges all of them but has a hard time getting close to Steve. He dodges a few more and tries to attack Steve but Steve strikes him away.
Steve: (Good thing I kept a few TNTs with me otherwise I wouldn't have been able to spawn them.)
Steve throws the last of his TNTs behind him from above and attacks him from the front but Herobrine blocks the hit. Steve gets away from him.
Herobrine: The same trick won't work twice.
He suddenly gets hit by a TNT from behind, blasting him toward Steve. Steve rushes forward and strikes Herobrine, landing a critical hit.
Steve: (Thanks Choso for showing me this trick.)
Player: Critical hit!
Suddenly a spawn egg falls from Herobrine's hand and from a black puddle, Warden suddenly appears and punches Steve away as darkness surrounds them.
Steve: (When was the last time I felt such a thrill? That's right. Toji.)
Steve jumps and strikes the warden. He instantly switches to his bow and fires an arrow of damage towards Herobrine who spawns slimes to deflect them. Warden attacks Steve from behind but he dodges it and strikes it again.
Steve: (So he is using the warden to attack while being on defense himself.)
Steve continues to dodge the warden's attacks while landing hits on it. Herobrine maintains his distance from them and spawns an Elder Guardian. It shoots a laser at him but Steve dodges it. He suddenly gets hit by a laser from the opposite direction as Herobrine uses the Elder Guardian's ability himself to fire a laser.
Steve: (His ability to use mob powers like that is impressive. He's trying to overwhelm me.)
Steve dodges another hit by the warden and fires an arrow at the Elder Guardian but Herobrine brings it back.
Steve: (So he won't just sit back. This is 2 v 1.)
Herobrine: Don't get the wrong idea. This is not 2 v 1…
He spawns 3 wither skeletons, kills them, and takes their skulls. He then creates a structure using soul sand and places the 3 skulls on its top.
Jesse: That is…
Steve: The Wither.
Herobrine: …It's a 3 v 1.
The structure transforms into a 3 headed flying monster. The Wither. Herobrine stands in the middle as the Warden is on his left and the Wither on his right.
Steve: You called your mom and dad to fight for you? Have I bullied you too much?
The Warden jumps to attack Steve while the Wither fires a burning wither skull towards him. Steve blocks the Warden and barely dodges the skull. Herobrine appears behind him and fires a laser but Steve instantly dodges it and strikes him. Herobrine also dodges away. The warden and wither again attack him together and Steve barely dodges their attacks. He jumps away and shoots an arrow of damage at the warden.
Jesse: I'm going there.
Kashimo: Don't interfere. And anyway, if anyone is going there first, it's me.
Kevin: Jesse relax. Kashimo is right. Steve said he would only want help if he is in a state worse than you or me.
Jesse: But the circumstances are different. Me and Jean can handle the warden and the wither. Steve can then focus on Herobrine.
Maki: In that case, I should go. You have another important task, don't forget that.
Jesse: If we kill Herobrine here, we won't be required to do that.
Player: Jesse, I think you should go.
Kusakabe: No no, you don't understand.
Mei Mei: The winning conditions for both our different here. Steve just needs to kill Herobrine to win. That's why he is giving his all. But Herobrine has to fight everyone else even if he kills Steve.
Kevin: That means he is holding back something. Something he might use if we go there.
Kusakabe: Besides, Green Steve is also hiding there somewhere. Steve's best chance of victory is to fight alone.
Kashimo: None of you guys get it. It is their fight. Let them fight. It is wrong for us to intervene.
Warden and Wither surround Steve from both sides. The warden punches him while the wither fires a skull at the same time. Steve dodges them, which makes the skull explode at the warden's hand. Steve then rushes towards the wither and strikes it, landing a critical hit. He follows with another strike, knocking it away. The warden jumps in front of him and starts attacking continuously. Steve dodges all of the hits but because of its continuous attacks, doesn't get a chance to attack it. The wither tries to attack from behind him but Steve instantly strikes it.
Steve: You know you're doing nothing right now.
Herobrine: (Come on warden. Show me that power that you displayed in BeaconTown. You're capable of doing more than this.)
The warden suddenly fires a sonic boom, blasting Steve, and knocking him into a wall. The warden jumps to attack him. Steve blocks the strike but Herobrine suddenly appears and strikes him.
Herobrine: Haha.
The wither appears and fires a skull at him but Steve deflects it away with his sword.
Steve: Even Herobrine managed to land a strike on me now. But you. You're just useless. Let me just take care of you now.
Steve spawns a super TNT and fires it towards the Wither. The TNT explodes in a chain reaction successively damaging the wither, killing it.
Herobrine: (He didn't get banned. He can still use some commands.)
The warden rushes to attack him but Steve strikes it first, landing a critical hit. He then attacks Herobrine who blocks his hits but Steve grabs his hand and throws him towards a wall. He then rushes to attack him but Warden appears in front of him. Steve strikes it instead, landing another critical hit. The super TNT continues to explode in the distance.
Steve: (I can't risk spawning another super TNT. I will have to use the one that's already exploding.)
Steve takes out a command block.
Herobrine: (Will he try to use it to glitch the space around one more time? I will use the warden and the shulker to survive it.)
Steve then throws the command block towards the super TNT.
Herobrine: (No…) WARDEN!!!
The warden jumped toward the explosion, trying to grab the command block before it reached the Super TNT.
Herobrine: (I can not allow him to combine the 2.)
Steve suddenly appears behind the Warden and strikes it away.
Herobrine spawns the elder guardian and uses its laser at the command block but Steve instantly fires an arrow at the command block, pushing it further toward the explosion before the laser can hit it.
Jesse: Thanks Kusakabe for stopping me from going out there. If I had gone out, he wouldn't have been able to do something like that. I would have held him back.
The command block combines with the Super TNT and creates the god of all bombs, the Formidibomb. A TNT with a command block on one side and an F written on the other. As it explodes, a massive explosion occurs in BeaconTown. The warden instantly dies from it. Surrounding buildings get destroyed. Herobrine is on the ground, at a single heart.
Steve: This was a first for me. I too barely dodged the explosion.
Kusakabe: Steve successfully hit him with the F-bomb. He is at a single heart it seems. If he lands another strike at him, he is dead.
Player: That means…Steve won!
Outside the game:
Alex: Yo!
Steve: Could this get any worse?
Alex: What do you mean? How rude.
Steve: That too just after the fight that I had. The first person I talk to is you?
Alex: Now come on. I know you're disappointed.
Steve: No it's not about that. It's how it ended. I didn't even tell him about his brother. Though, Shoko will handle that.
Alex: So, how was the king of mobs?
Steve: So freaking strong! I was at my edge the whole time. It felt like one wrong move and I could lose.
Alex: So you finally met your match.
Steve: Yeah, but I did enjoy the fight. You know, other than the whole destroying the Minecraft thing, I kinda get him. He always picks up a fight because he too wants to have an equal fight with someone as strong as him. I understand that feeling. For a long time, I felt I had become so strong, I could not enjoy things anymore. It must have been like that for him too. Which is why he continues to fight. He could have started the destruction anytime. But he fought me. I had fun. I feel like finally, I am satisfied. I hope he feels the same.
Alex: Finally. I'm happy you enjoyed it.
Steve: If you had been by my side, cheering with others, I could have even done more than that. I could have actually finished him. But it doesn't matter. The rest will take it from here. What say Nanami, Haibara, Masamichi. We start a new survival server? A fresh start.
Nanami: I don't want to play with you ever again.
Haibara: I'd love to Steve.
Masamichi: I no longer want to associate myself with you.
Alex: Hahaha.
Steve: Hahahaha.
In the game:
Herobrine: The warden's biggest factor is its massive health. Paired with its good offense, it's difficult to defeat it.
Player: …
Herobrine: Of course, you could have defeated it. But there was no way for you to do it without commands.
Maki: …
Herobrine: It became very clear that you surpassed me in combat. Even if I could draw out the fight as much as I could, you could have defeated me ultimately by resetting your command limit.
Jesse: …
Herobrine: In the end, the only way to beat you was the rules of this server. Quite ironic, that the one getting banned from crossing the limit was the one with the highest limit.
Shoko: …
Herobrine: You fought well Steve. I will never forget you for as long as I live.
Herobrine is standing, taking support from a wall as Steve disappeared in front of him. He was banned after he crossed his command limit.
Herobrine: I feel great right now. So don't try to ruin my mood.
Kashimo appears on the battlefield, ready to have his long-awaited fight with Herobrine.
