Following the Fall of PMC City, during which King Noncommercial (in a mech) drove the PMC Military and the Forge's best warriors down into the Deep Dark after bringing down Cyprezz Tower, and during which Forgemaster Chaos sacrificed his life to make sure his friends got away safely, Spencer, the leader of the Luminous Gang, arrived at the Ancient City where PMC City's citizens were evacuated and was informed of the recent events. He led the Soda Strike Team, General Axo Playz, the Forge Apprentices, Rakkitatoru, and Gracie Mockingjay to the Luminous Caverns, where, after the Council of Mods and ex-member Stubbs caught up to them, they formulated a plan to have the Council surrender while teams of Luminous Gang soldiers and PMC Military troops enter the city from various other tunnels (called Districts) and surround the Nether Army, before the Council turn on their captors and the final battle begins. Gracie contacted Grimm, who said he was on his way, and learned he was repairing his mech before the battle. Trot tried to talk to a grieving Shadow, who refused to fight, but couldn't convince her to help, and everyone else geared up for the fight. Then, when it was time, Silabear led the Council of Mods to the surface via the main entrance to PMC City from the caves, and surrendered.

"You what?" ComfySteve asks, the high-ranking first lieutenant surprised at Silabear's surrender. "I don't believe this." "Well, it's true." Silabear says. He waits for them to turn around to look around and make sure it isn't a trap. "We surrender ourselves to King Noncommercial and his Nether Empire, and grant him full control of the government of PMC City and the rest of Planet Minecraft." ComfySteve, after hearing this, walks up to King Noncommercial. "My liege, they have surrendered." he says. "What?" the King asks. Still in his mech, he walks over. One of the piglin soldiers was recording Silabear while he looked around for any snipers. "Private Billy, play back the recording." ComfySteve says. "Yes sir." Billy says, pressing play on the recording. Noncommercial hears it and grins. "At long last, I have won!" he says. "Take away these prisoners. They will be executed later."

At the same time, the different teams are underground heading to the different Districts. The Soda Strike Team and a few other PMC Military soldiers are heading to District 3 alongside a small group of Luminous Gang soldiers led by Faisal, a pixel artist who currently lives in the Luminous Caverns with some of the other Luminous Gang members. "So, Faisal, how's the art going?" IGE asks. "Good." he responds. "I recently finished my latest piece, which is a portrait of me and Spencer." "Cool." Chaos says. "Did he like it?" "Yup." Faisal says. "Can we see it?" Pig asks. Faisal lays his glow spear against the wall and pulls up a picture on his phone. "That looks great!" IGE says. "Guys, less talking, more walking." Ella says, continuing to walk. "You'll be able to fight in a few minutes." IGE says. They continue walking and make it to the District, where they climb up and out of the bunker, emerging near the docks. The group make their way up to the rooftop of the nearest building and head across the building roofs to sneakily hang out on the roof of a house on Paril Road, where they watch the other teams arrive a few moments apart.

The second team, comprised of Trot, Whisper, and Cloudkitty, as well as some Luminous Gang and PMC Military troops, heads to District 2. On the way, Trot talks to Whisper and Cloud about Shadow. "I just want her to feel better." she says. "It's hard seeing my best friend like this." "Well, she needs some time to get over him." Whisper says. "Yeah, mourning takes a while." Cloudkitty adds. "You're right." Trot says. "I guess I shouldn't have tried to push her to help us fight in the battle." "Just give her time." Whisper says. "Plus, we already have two teleporters, and that gives us an advantage anyways." "Hey, look, we're here." Cloudkitty says, gesturing to the bunker ahead of them. They exit the bunker, emerging near the military base, where they also climb onto the rooftops and hang out on the roof of a building on Paril Road, spotting IGE's team across the street on another building.

The third team, comprised of Tem, Rakkitatoru, and a few Luminous Gang and PMC Military troops, heads to District 4. "So, what do we during the battle?" he asks her. "I was thinking I cast this new spell I've been working on, which'll create a magical shield around a certain area that is impenetrable to anything non-magic." Rakkitatoru explains. "That way we can keep the battle contained the area around Paril Road and the ruins of Cyprezz Tower." "Good idea." Tem says. They eventually arrive at District 4, which is located under the Nugget Factory, which is northeast of Cyprezz Tower. They arrive near the ruins and Rakkitatoru begins preparing the spell. She gives Tem a pair of magical beacons and tells him to put them down at the corners of the square she's making around the area. They set things up, and Tem contacts Spencer, who saw him laying down one of the beacons, explaining what's going on. Spencer notifies the rest of the group of the shield.

The fourth team is comprised of Spencer, General Axo, and several Luminous Gang and PMC Military troops. "So, how's leading the Luminous Gang going?" General Axo asks. "Pretty good." Spencer says. "We've been working on keeping the caves safe, and preparing them to be an evacuation place in case whatever was prophesied in that carving on the wall that just appeared one day comes true." "That thing is worrying me." General Axo responds. "Once we end this war, I'm going to talk to Silabear and the Council about it." "Good idea." Spencer says. They arrive at their destination, District 1, and emerge northwest of Cyprezz Tower. Spencer sees Tem laying down a beacon, and later gets contacted by him explaining this whole shield plan Rakkitatoru came up with.

On Paril Road, ComfySteve and his men prepare to take away the now-prisoners of war. However, things go awry when Silabear uses his claw to pick the lock on his shackles. He takes out the vial of liquid luminous armor, a special armor that forms around you and which was engineered by the Luminous Gang, and punches one of the piglins. He uses a built-in arm blade to cut the other Council members' shackles (including Stubbs), and they all put on the armor. Knowing this is the signal, Faisal fires a shot from his sniper rifle at Private Billy, killing him. He fires more bullets at ComfySteve, but the swift and agile Nether Empire lieutenant notices them and blocks them with his shield. The Soda Strike Team climb down from the building and start attacking the Nether Army soldiers stationed around the area as the shield comes up around the area, covering everything, including the docks.

"Attack!" General Axo shouts, charging into the fight and firing his triple-barreled gatling gun at his opponents, killing them all. Spencer also runs in, stabbing a charging piglin with his glow glaive. Noncommercial, furious at this insurrection of sorts, activates his mech's weapons. "Release the hoglins." he says into the communicator built into his mech. At the docks, a large ship with a cage onboard opens the cage, releasing hundreds of hoglins into the city. "Oh crap." Trot says. She creates a large fireball and hurls it at them. Rakkitatoru sees this and fires a bolt at the fireball, strengthening it with magic. The flame lands near the hoglin horde and sets some of them ablaze. "Wait, aren't they gonna zombify in a few minutes?" Tem asks as he stabs a piglin with his light-enhanced silver sword. Rakkitatoru does a spell to see if they're under any effects. "Nope." she says. "THe piglins splashed them with Anti-Zombification potions. These guys aren't gonna be getting up any time soon." She casts Firebolt at an incoming hoglin, which goes straight through its brain, killing it. Then, they spot Whisper, Cloudkitty, and Potato rushing over to help them.

Meanwhile, Whisper and Cloudkitty are fighting back to back against a group of piglins. Whisper teleports onto the rooftop and snipes down a few piglins with lightning-infused copper arrows, enchanted by Rakkitatoru. Cloudkitty, with the agility of a cat, dodges several crossbow bolts and stabs a piglin with one of his silver katanas. However, he is knocked down by a piglin brute, who prepares to chop off his head with his golden battle axe. Potato sees this and rushes over, decapitating the brute from behind with his Netherite claymore. "Need some help?" he asks. "It would be much appreciated." Cloudkitty says. Whisper, previously focused on sniping piglins, spots Potato and waves to him from the rooftop before teleporting down. "You're here to help us?" she asks. "Yup." Potato says. Whisper draws her bow, shooting at a piglin that was charging at him from behind. They notice Rakkitatoru, Tem, and Trot battling hoglins and decide to help.

During all of this, closer to the ruins of Cyprezz Tower, Noncommercial and ComfySteve are battling the Council of Mods and the Soda Strike Team. ComfySteve is holding his own against the armored Silabear, Adrestio, Smack, and Stubbs, as well as the other Council members. Phantasm enters ghost form and appears behind his opponent, kicking him in the back to fall into Adrestio's arms. Adrestio is promptly kicked in the shins by a resistant ComfySteve, which allows the latter to free himself and throw a dagger at Silabear. The bear catches the small blade, crushing it in his armored paws. "Crap." ComfySteve says. "Royal Guard, aid us!" The Nether Empire Royal Guard, who were preoccupied battling Luminous Gang soldiers and PMC Military troops, run over to the fight, with one of them grabbing Smack from behind and attempting to choke him. Smack, however, counters by taking out a glow knife and stabbing the guardsman in the stomach, wounding him. He loses his grip and Smack escapes, throwing the knife at his opponent's face, killing him. ComfySteve grabs a piglin's crossbow and begins charging it while turning towards the battle going on between the Soda Strike Team and King Noncommercial.

Noncommercial, meanwhile, takes on all four Soda Strike Team members. IGE and Chaos fire their plasma blasters and laser rifles, dual wielding them and doing minor damage to the mech, as are Pig's grenades. Ella swings her flaming pyro-axe at the mech's left leg, which also does minor damage. "The Netherite on the mech is making it impervious to our attacks!" IGE says. He puts away his guns and generates his signature light kusarigama, swinging it at the mech. "Maybe hard light magic will do more damage!" His guess is correct, as the kusarigama takes out a sliver of Netherite. However, Noncommercial proceeds to take out his massive cannon, which he previously used to destroy Cyprezz Tower, and he turns it down to the lowest setting to avoid collateral damage of his new city. Chaos notices the cannon charging up. "Guys, look out!" he says. Everyone leaps out of the way as Noncommercial fires his beam cannon at the ground before him. It doesn't do any damage, except for leaving a hole in the ground. Pig lobs another grenade at the mech, which scratches it. "Netherite shouldn't be that strong." he says to himself before Noncommercial flies into the air and lands on the ground, creating a shockwave that knocks down everyone in the area. Before they can react, the king of the Nether Empire prepares to step on the Soda Strike Team.

Luckily for them, Noncommercial is unable to succeed, as his foot is blasted by a traitorous ComfySteve using a stolen crossbow, before he is knocked down by Smack, who leaps onto him, assuming he was aiming at one of the Strike Team members. Distracted by the crossbow bolt hitting his foot, Noncommercial doesn't see an Eva-13, the last of its kind, flying towards him, dual wielding the Spears of Longinus. The mech kicks Noncommercial's mech in the face, knocking it down. Noncommercial gets back and sees the pilot of the mech, who is former Captain Grimm Knight of Evangelion Squadron!

Gracie hears Grimm's voice in her communicator. She had come up from District 5 later than the others due to a cave-in that trapped her team and forced them to dig away the rocks, and was just now arriving at the fight. "Grimm, you're here?!" she asks, her voice full of joy and excitement. "Yup, it's me!" the mech pilot says through his mech's communicator. "I'm a little busy right now, though!" Near the ruins of Cyprezz Tower, she sees Grimm's Eva-13 pick up Noncommercial's mech and throw it down the road. She fires several plasma blasts at it, which don't do much damage, but still scratch the mech. Meanwhile, the Strike Team have gotten up and are running down the road, past everyone, all of whom have been focused on the fight, with Pig breaking away to talk to the Council of Mods. The hoglins are running wild through the street, attacking the PMC Military and Luminous Gang, and the Council have handcuffed ComfySteve and killed the Nether Empire Royal Guard.

"Why did you shoot the mech?" Silabear asks the lieutenant. "For a while now, I've been questioning my king's decisions of late." ComfySteve responds. "Especially the slaves." "I was right!" Stubbs says. "What slaves?" Adrestio asks. "Well, for the past few months, King Noncommercial has been enslaving people in the Nether to mine up Netherite for his mech." ComfySteve says. "He also had several engineer a casing that could hold some magical device that I forgot the name of." As the Strike Team run by, Pig overhears this. "Magic device?" he asks, leaving the group to talk to ComfySteve and the Council. "It was something End-related." ComfySteve answers. "That's all I remember." As Noncommercial's mech gets up, Pig uses a spyglass to zoom in on his chest. "Wait, that's the Heart of the End!" he notices. "That's what it was called." ComfySteve remembers. "That explains why the Netherite is so tough!" Pig realizes. He takes out his phone and searches up the Heart, showing it to everyone. "The Heart of the End, if its power is channeled correctly, can be used to strengthen anything and grant it enhanced attributes." the demolitionist reads off of the Blockgle. "So, basically, if we destroy the heart, we can give ourselves a fighting chance?" Phantasm asks. "Precisely." Pig says. "But the Heart is nearly indestructible." "What do you mean 'nearly?'" Smack asks. "The only thing that can destroy it is something very rare: a raw nucleon power core, which is just as strong." General Axo overhears this while helping Spencer fight some hoglins. "I know where we can find one, but it's too risky of a plan." he says, landing the killing blow on the hoglin and walking over to them. "We don't have any other choice." ComfySteve says as Phantasm takes off his handcuffs, now knowing that he's on their side. "The Evangelion Squadron mechs run on raw nucleon power cores." General Axo says. "But Grimm is currently piloting the last one." They all look at the battling mechs. "We can't risk it." Silabear says. "What if he doesn't get away in time?" "It's a risk we'll have to take." General Axo says. He speaks into his communicator. "I want the Strike Team, the Apprentices, Trot, Gracie, and Faisal to come over to me and the Council." he says. "And, just so you know, ComfySteve is on our side."

Everyone runs over to them, leaving Grimm and Noncommercial to duel. Grimm, in his Eva-13, slashes at Noncommercial with his Spears. The powerful mech of the Nether king, however, is a perfect match for Grimm, and counters by firing his beam cannon, which damages Grimm's mech. Grimm leaps into the air and throws one of the Spears at Noncommercial's mech, which becomes stuck in his left shoulder. When Grimm lands on the ground, he rips the Spear out, causing the arm to fall off. "No matter." Noncommercial says, knowing that a missing arm won't stop him from using the beam cannon. He jabs the cannon into where his left arm once was, and it begins to transform into an arm that ends in the beam cannon's barrel. He fires a slightly more powerful beam at Grimm, who blocks it with his Spears. Noncommercial turns up the beam to almost full power, which shatters the Spears of Longinus! Grimm, his mech weak and damaged, struggles to get up, but manages to hold his own in a fistfight against Noncommercial's mech.

While they fight, the group discuss the game plan. Pig tells the others what he told ComfySteve and the Council. "But if Grimm gets caught in the blast, he'll die." Gracie says, worried about her boyfriend. The entire time they've been talking, she's been watching the fight, nervous that Grimm will get killed at any moment. "Don't worry." Spencer says. "If Grimm ejects, he should be able to get away." "IGEBM, focus!" General Axo says, spotting IGEBM hooking up an antennae to his communicator. "Yes, sir." IGE says, clicking a button on his communicator before taking off the antennae and paying attention. "So, basically, the plan is from Grimm to activate his mech's self-destruct and then eject." Silabear says, summing up everything Pig's been saying. "And as he gets away in a rocket-powered chair, the mech blows up both itself and Noncommercial's." "It may not destroy the mech, but it'll definitely destroy the Heart of the End that's enhancing its powers." ComfySteve says. "Then we'll have a fighting chance if he survives." "Alright, team, ATTACK!!!" Silabear shouts.

The soldiers charge into battle as General Axo contacts Grimm and explains the plan. "Got it, General." Grimm says. In his mech, he smashes the glass box covering the emergency self-destruct. "Never though I'd press this." he says to himself as he prepares to push the red button. Before he can, however, Noncommercial punches the Eva-13 unit in the face, destroying one of its optical sensors. Blind in one eye and wounded all over, Grimm struggles to fight back, but continues to battle. As the PMC Military and Luminous Gang battle the Nether Army, Gracie looks up at the mechs and wonders if something went wrong. She is attacked from behind by a piglin soldier and is saved by a plasma blast from Chaos. "Gracie, focus." he says, continuing to fight as Gracie gets up. She finds cover and speaks to Grimm. "Are you okay?" she asks, worried. "My mech is severely damaged." Grimm responds. "I just got an alert saying systems are going critical, and the shields went down a few minutes ago." With not much left he can do, Grimm gets ready to self-destruct the mech. He puts one hand over the self-destruct button and one over the eject button. "Noncommercial, come at me!" he shouts. As the king charges at Grimm, he presses self-destruct. The 90-second countdown appears on a holo-screen as Grimm tries to eject. "Why isn't this thing working?!" he says, his voice full of panic. He turns on the communicator again, broadcasting to everyone in the battle. "Guys, we have problem: my eject button isn't working. I don't think I fixed the mechanism. The clock is ticking. I have 61 seconds until I die, so let me say my brief goodbyes to IGEBM, Chaos, Pig, Ella, who I fought alongside in the Soda Wars, General Axo, who recruited me, and, most of all Gracie, the love of my life. I want you to know that, no matter where I am, be it on this planet, heaven, or Hell, I'll be always be there for y-"

He is cut off as the call is ended. Everyone already knows why, and they all turn to see the mech blow up. Noncommercial activates his mech's shields, which protect him, but the Heart of the End is destroyed by the blast. The shields are destroyed, and the king's mech is knocked back several yards. Soldiers get out of the way as the mech lands, and Noncommercial gets up. He gets an alert saying the Heart is gone, and fires up his cannon to full power, screaming rage as he fires a immensely powerful beam of energy down the road, killing hundreds of soldiers. Luckily, the Council, Strike Team, Apprentices, Trot, ComfySteve, Faisal, General Axo, and Spencer are able to get out of the way, and Gracie is protected thanks to being behind a car on the other side of the road, out of harm's way. As the remaining fighters look on at the field of corpses, they think all hope is lost, and that everything they've done was for nothing. The Strike Team find Gracie behind a car crying. They signal to Trot and the Apprentices to come over, which they do. "He's- he's gone!" she wails. "I- I can't believe it! He's gone! I loved him! No! No! No!" They try to comfort her as the Council, ComfySteve, General Axo, Faisal, and Spencer look around. "I hate to say it, but this is it." Silabear says. "We lost." All of a sudden, they hear a horn.

Everyone, even the crying Gracie, turn around to face the harbor, where the sound of a horn came from. In the harbor, they see approaching ships from all the nations of the Overworld and the End! They spot Captain Clay's pirate ship, several Cryptic Family ships, with the one in the front carrying Firestar, Aspirin, DarkRob, and Ghostly, all led by Guts, and even the Cholan Empire, who at first refused to join the war, have sent a few ships to the city, with the main one carrying King Elightin Elytra himself, along with his associates Dr. Golden, Greief, and Rob, as well as Si! However, the biggest group of ships is in the back of the massive fleet of assembled ships, and they're end ships from across the Ender Nation, led by a larger end ship captained by Lord Piaccu, Commander Worpin, and his brother Lieutenant Endrys! "They all came!" IGE cheers. "What?" Tem asks. "Remember when I was hooking up that antennae to my communicator?" IGE explains. "Well, I was using it to strengthen my signal so I could send a planet-wide distress signal to all the nations. Unfortunately, it fried my communicator, but it was worth it, clearly, and then the End ships presumably joined in on the fleet."

"We're here to help end this war!" Guts speaks into a megaphone from his ship. "We brought everyone!" King Elightin says, his amplified by his ship's speakers. "And we won't go down without a fight!" Lord Piaccu says into another megaphone aboard his ship. "Yeah, for Planet Minecraft!" Clay shouts from aboard his ship. "FOR PLANET MINECRAFT!" everyone shouts.

Then, the massive armies make their way across the ships and start charging down Cyprezz Road. "CHARGE!!!" Clay shouts. As his crew attacks the shocked piglins, the more experienced soldiers of the Cryptic Family Military, the Cholan Army, and the Ender Army join the PMC Military and Luminous Gang in fighting the Nether Army. Even as they fight, more ships from the Forge and Sodaville start to arrive, the residents of each village having taken up arms to save their home. "Hey, look, our old troops came and fought." IGE says to Chaos as the group look on at the charge. "Yep." Chaos says. "Now's our chance to strike." "Now?!" Pig asks, surprised. "There's literally a united Overworld army charging through the streets and you think now is a good time to strike Noncommercial?!" "Yeah." Ella says, agreeing with Chaos. "Think about it: the Nether Army is preoccupied with fighting our allies, which means they can't defend Noncommercial, who is currently disoriented by all the chaos around him." The others start to agree. "What about Gracie?" Pig asks. "Someone needs to stay and take care of her." "I'll stay." Trot says. "Then it's all settled." IGE says. "I have an idea. Whisper, I need you to teleport everyone over to the ruins of Cyprezz Tower, where the soldiers aren't fighting." "Got it." Whisper says. "Everyone, grab on to me." While the others grab on to Whisper and she teleports them all away (except for Trot and Gracie), IGEBM runs out from behind their cover and draws Noncommercial's attention. "Hey, Noncommercial, come and get me!" he shouts. "I bet you really wanna squash some Overworld insurrectionists right now!" "Oh, this is too easy." the king says as he flies towards IGEBM, who runs down the street before teleporting to the others. Noncommercial finds them all.

"Let's do this." Chaos says, seeing Noncommercial arrive right after IGE teleports in. He draws his plasma blaster as IGE generates a light kusarigama. Pig readies a grenade, Ella activates her electro-machete, and the Apprentices take out their weapons. Rakkitatoru readies a Shield spell as she sees Noncommercial lift his foot. "I will kill you all!" Noncommercial says, stomping down his foot, creating a small shockwave. Rakkitatoru steps forward and casts the Shield spell, blocking it. As the magic shield goes away, the other surround Noncommercial, attacking him. With his mech not enhanced by the Heart of the End, their weapons are actually doing more damage to his mech now. Noncommercial fires several missiles from his back, which land in random locations around him. Pig counters by throwing a grenade at his back, which explodes in midair as it hits his mech, sending him falling forward onto the ground. He gets up and fires several more missiles from his remaining forearm. The group dodge them as Pig gets an idea. "Everyone, I need you to get out of the way!" he says. "Get as far away from here as possible and I'll signal when you all can come back." The others run as Pig throws down a bunch of timed explosives around Noncommercial. The Nether king is too focused lowering the setting on his cannon and charging it up to stop him, and Pig takes out the singularity grenade and throws it down, assuming it'll explode on impact. His guess is correct, and he runs away as the singularity begins to form. He gets away just before it starts sucking it all the explosives. Then, the explosives blow up inside the singularity just as it explodes, creating a massive explosion that completely obliterates Noncommercial's mech. The King notices this just in time to hit eject, and just barely escapes the explosion. However, he is wounded in the process as the edge of the blast hits him, destroying his seat's rocket boosters and sending him falling several feet out of the air.

Meanwhile, back with Trot and Gracie, Trot has been defending the still-crying Gracie from piglins, but they are slowly closing in on the two of them. Then, the soldiers are shot dead by someone. Trot turns as her fireball goes away, seeing Shadow wielding a plasma blaster. "You came!" she cheers. "Yeah, I thought about what you said." Shadow says as the two friends hug. "Chaos would've wanted me to fight for our home. What's up with her?" She gestures to Gracie. Trot explains everything that's been going on. "Let me talk to her." Shadow says. "Okay." Trot agrees. She fends off the piglins while Shadow talks to Gracie. "Listen, Gracie, I know how you feel." she says. "When I lost Chaos, I didn't know if I'd ever be the same again. I had gotten so accustomed to being with him that I realized I had forgotten what life was like without him in it. I was... lost. That seems like the right word for how I felt. But then I realized that I had put him before Cyprezz, and no one should ever come before Cyprezz." She hands Gracie a tissue, which she uses to blow her nose. Shadow gives her another to wipe away her tears. "Thanks for that." Gracie says. She slowly stops crying. "I guess you're right about that, but I just really miss Grimm. I loved him so much, and now I don't know what to do now that he's gone." "Well, we have to stay strong." Shadow says. "And keep pushing. After all, we can't do anything. Just remember why they died: for us. They died to save us, protect us, and make sure we had future even though they wouldn't." "You're right." Gracie says. She stands up. "Now, let's fight." Shadow hands her a plasma blaster and two join Trot in the battle.

Back at the ruins of Cyprezz Tower, the group have all gotten back together to finally stop Noncommercial for good. "No mech to protect you now." IGE says, stepping forth. Noncommercial gets up and draws her a golden sword, ready to fight. "I'll handle him." IGE says. He swings his light kusarigama at the King, slashing his leg. Then, he transforms it into a light sword, which he uses to duel with Noncommercial. As the two sword fight, Ella takes out a chocolate bar and puts away her machete, snacking on the bar while watching the duel. IGE gains the upper hand and generates a second sword, which he uses split Noncommercial's blade in half. As the King drops what remains of the sword and tries to flee, IGE transforms his light swords into a light kusarigama again, swinging at Noncommercial and wrapping the end around his leg, which he uses to drag the King back in, before getting rid of the kusarigama and knocking out the King of the Nether Empire. Chaos steps forth and handcuffs him as the group turn around the see the Nether Army get overpowered by the Overworld soldiers. In a matter of minutes, the battle is won by the united warriors of the Overworld.

Several hours pass. The Nether Army, along with Noncommercial, were been taken back to the Nether by the PMC Military, where they were held in prison before the new king, ComfySteve, decided that anyone who still stood with Noncommercial would remain in said prison. That was his first act as the new King of the Nether Empire, with his second being to free the slaves and let them live normal lives once again, creating a new group to help them rebuild their lives. In the Overworld, a funeral for Forgemaster Chaos was held on the Forge, and the entire village, as well as the Soda Strike Team, General Axo, Faisal, Spencer, King Elightin, Dr. Golden, Greief, Rob, Si, and Clay attended. A few people chose to leave the community or renounce their citizenship (if they lived somewhere else), among which was Robin. Without a Forgemaster, IGEBM suggested to his fellow Apprentices that they become a council that helps to run the village. After the funeral, the Strike Team journeyed to Morbid Island, where Chaos stepped down from the role of Aspect of Horror, becoming the new Lord of Terror and promoting Firestar to Aspect of Horror for his excellent job leading the Cryptic Family during the Siege of Morbid Island. After the ceremony, the group spent the night on the island before returning to PMC City in the morning to attend Grimm's funeral that afternoon. All of his friends were in attendance, as was Lord Piaccu, who professed his feelings for Gracie to her, even admitting that he too thought it was a bad idea to do it at her boyfriend's funeral. However, Gracie reciprocated and the two began going out, with Piaccu even giving Gracie the deed to a nice, two-story house near his fortress in the End that she could visit whenever she wished. Following the funeral, Si expanded his cemetery to include individual graves for all of the fallen soldiers in the Nether War, while IGEBM broke off from the Strike Team (who were on their way to Cyprezz Tower for an event) to visit Grimm's Circus of Nightmares, where he left a sign at the entrance saying it was closed indefinitely until the managers figured out what do with it.

Finally, he met up with the Soda Strike Team, the other members of the Forge Council, Trot, Shadow, Gracie, Spencer, and General Axo at Cyprezz Tower, where they lined up outside the building, behind Silabear and the Council of Mods, the former getting ready to give a speech for the massive crowd that extended all the way down Cyprezz Road. "People of the Overworld, we gather here to celebrate the ending of a war, the Nether War." Silabear began. "Sure, it may have only lasted a few days, but it felt like months for some of us. We gather here today to honor the soldiers who gave their lives to defend this dimension from the tyrant that was Noncommercial, who is currently rotting away in a prison cell deep in the Nether, something he will spend the rest of his life doing. We also gather here today to celebrate several people who fought in this war that did survive, and who were the ones mainly responsible for saving this dimension from coming under the control of a tyrant. These people are standing behind me right now, and we are about to award them the Planet Minecraft Medal of Heroism." Silabear proceeded to read off their names as the Council members handed each of them a medal. Shadow and Gracie each got two, one of which being for Forgemaster Chaos and Grimm, respectively. The group waved to the audience as they exited the stage.

The end.

Fun Fact
When I wrote the charge scene, even though I was listening to "Mother of Mercy" (an Iron Maiden song), I imagined "The Trooper" (also Iron Maiden) as playing during the charge, and if this were to be made into a movie one day, I would make sure to have that song play during the charge. Also, for all wondering, the charge is officially called the Charge of the Overworld Warriors.

The finale of PMC: War on the Nether is dedicated to TheGrimmKnight. He was a great user, good friend, mech lover, and one of the only other Transformers fans I knew on the site. It was hard to see him go, and I just wish we knew why. Now, much like what I did for TheCrypteral in chapter 7, I will let some users say things about Grimm:

"He was a kind, good spirited mecha lover"

- cloudkitty

"Why did your parents (I'm guessing) do this to us :("

- CrownDeluxe

"So basically, even though I don't even know you o7 to u grimm"

- RB22486

“I didn’t know you all that well.
I wish I had gotten the chance.
You brought a smile to my face.”

- OrderOutOfChaos

"Farewell, I did not know you well, but you liked Big Bang Theory, so I guess we talked about that, I think. Still, you're one of the greats and I'll always remember you"

- WhisperOfTheWild

"Grimm, I barely knew you. But I knew you were a great impact to pmc. I salute you. o7"

- Sp3nc3r_

And, finally, I will let his girlfriend, GracieMockingjay, close us out:
"Grimm was probably my best friend, and he was my lover. I saw things in him others didn't. People underestimated him, and to say that he was misunderstood was an understatement. He was the "weirdo", but he brought life to every day. He was the reason I kept moving forward. He was the sweetest person you would ever meet. He was a comedian who kept my life going. We will never forget him. Let his name be a battle cry, and his history remembered."

Here's where I got the messages.



Author's Message


Wow. I can't believe it's over. Hang on, I'll write this once "The Unforgiven II" finishes, so I can play a sad song.

(waits for song to finish)

(puts on "Time of Our Lives")

Ok, there we go. Anyways, as I was saying, I can't believe it's over. This is has been such an amazing series to write, and I'm glad you guys enjoyed it. Truth be told, there were times I considered giving up and cancelling the series before the story finished, but there was one thing that kept me going: you guys. I didn't want to let you all down in any way by cancelling the series and posting a wall post or blog that briefly described what I planned to write. I've been writing stories since November 2020, but I lost my interest in it around early 2022. There are so many Google Docs and folders in my drive of stories that I never finished, or series that I never completed. Last night, I was re-reading one of the least series I actually completed, which was my version of the Machine Wars from Transformers. After that, I didn't write much and I had a whole big series planned out that I didn't finish at all.

(puts on "Goodbye Scott")

I didn't think I could write in such detail, or create stories as long as these. But hey, I guess I can, and I'm pretty good at it. Maybe this will be the way I get back into writing, maybe not, but we'll never know. I just hope I don't cancel PMC: Apocalypse, because I'm pretty excited to write that as well. It's going to be the culmination of months of build-up, of hints in my lore, of foreshadowing, and of mini-stories that served as prequels to it. And, for your information, this isn't the end of War on the Nether. Either next week or the week after, I'll be posting a blog that collects all the chapters of War on the Nether, with some revisions (like calling OrderOutOfChaos Peter instead of Chaos, to avoid confusion with TheCrypteral).

(puts on "Miss You Now")

The collection will also include "Years Later (A "The Fall of PMC City" Epilogue)" and some Writer's Notes on the changes made to the series in the collection and some of my inspiration for things in the story, and more. I'll also include some art I made for things like the Soda Strike Team's boat, Noncommercial's mech, and the weapons that were shown in "A Light in the Dark."

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed PMC: War on the Nether, and thanks for reading.

So, yeah, there's my message to you guys, and this is Gaél signing off (not from the site).

Thanks, this is clearly the longest one, and it took the longest to write.

Ah, yes, Porkus… that fight with the Butchers in chapter 6 was one of my favorite things to write, especially Porkus’ death.

Fr when you said Miss You Now I was like "Why do I think I know that song?" Then I remembered it was the one DeHusta sung as a tribute to Technoblade. Also, Ella eating a choccy bar watching a battle, I love that XD
