About this ebook

After searching biome after biome for the lost shards of an enchanted Ender crystal that, in the wrong hands, could ensure the destruction of the entire Overworld, Stevie and Alex have tracked down all but one piece of the crystal. The magical book they’ve been using as a guide is finally fully readable—but several pages are missing!

Following the one clue the book still holds, the friends travel through the portal to Earth, where the last shard may be hidden. There they reunite with Maison, who’s just about to celebrate her twelfth birthday. When Maison’s family reveals a secret about her ancestors, the friends realize that Maison may be the only one who can track down the final clues that will lead them to the last Ender shard.

Can Stevie, Alex, and Maison uncover long-hidden knowledge and put the clues together in time to reassemble the crystal—and stop the Ender Dragon from breaking free of the End?

Fans of Minecraft will rush to put the clues together in the fifth Unofficial Overworld Heroes Adventure!

    The Last of the Ender Crystal - Danica Davidson

    CHAPTER 1

    The ender dragon was about to escape from her prison. I could feel it all the way down to my bones, like a cold wind. The monsters in the land had been growing stronger for weeks, and the nights had gotten so long we barely saw the sun anymore.

    Then there was her voice: it kept taunting me, inside my head, promising to do evil deeds if I didn’t bow to her. The Overworld’s only hope was to find the last crystal shard that my ancestor Steve Alexander had hidden. With it, we could create the ultimate weapon to defeat her.

    But we had hit a dead end.

    Read it again, my cousin Alex demanded.

    I sighed and read the newest passage we’d decoded in Steve Alexander’s enchanted book. We’d already read it a dozen times. After each new crystal we found, the enchantment in the book let us read a little more of the text—but this clue was way too vague. So far Steve Alexander had also been giving us maps in the book to find the next crystal, but we’d gotten no map with this one. And time was running out!

    "For its safety, the final crystal shard has been taken from this world and given to Maya, I read. Seek out the earth woman. Alex, that’s all it says."

    This is just great, muttered Yancy sarcastically, raking his hand through his dark hair. We have no map, and apparently this crystal is floating around somewhere on Earth. A tiny little planet which, according to the Internet, has a radius of a mere 3,959 miles. You know, just a quick stroll.

    It’s almost like Steve Alexander doesn’t want us to find the last crystal shard, murmured Destiny, nervously biting at her fingernails.

    I don’t think that’s it, Maison argued. She was my best friend, and the first person I had met from Earth. Right now we were all sitting in her bedroom, near her computer, which acted as her portal to the Overworld. Or "Minecraft, as people on Earth called it. Whenever Steve Alexander gets vague about things, he usually wants us to dig deeper."

    Yeah, and I’m digging, Yancy said, clicking on his phone. Blue, the pet parrot he had tamed in the jungle biome, was perched on Yancy’s shoulder, happily chirping. At least that bird was unaware of the stress the rest of us were feeling.

    If we can’t track down the crystal, you’d think we’d at least be able to track down Maya, the Earth woman who helped Steve Alexander imprison the Ender Dragon in the first place, he went on. But you know what the problem is with that? Well, there’s the fact that she apparently lived thousands of years ago, before most human cultures had writing systems. Second, when I Googled the name ‘Maya,’ I got about a million hits. It showed up in all sorts of ancient cultures, not to mention modern ones, so we can’t even narrow down where she might have lived. That’s not even counting all the cultures that have disappeared over time, so we don’t even have records of the names they used.

    I’d never thought of cultures disappearing. Was that like how we’d find old, forgotten temples in the Overworld and have no idea who’d made them? It hadn’t occurred to me that Earth might have that, too.

    What does all that mean? I asked.

    It means, Yancy said, that Steve Alexander is no help on this one. We’re down to the last crystal shard, and he’s bailed on us. And after all that talk about being a hero. What a loser.

    Alex jumped up, furious. Steve Alexander is the greatest hero the Overworld has ever seen, and he’s our great-great-great-whatever grandfather! Don’t you be talking about him like that!

    Fine, Yancy said, tossing his cell phone to Alex. Then you find the crystal shard, and Maya.

    Alex frowned. I don’t know how to use this contraption!

    Alex and I were from the Overworld, while Maison, Destiny, and Yancy all came from Earth. Alex and I knew how to make our own food and build our own homes and create our own weapons. Maison, Destiny, and Yancy knew how to use cell phones and computers and the Internet. We came from very different worlds, but we were still friends.

    We were also all part of the Overworld Heroes task force, which had been created by my aunt, Mayor Alexandra. It was supposed to be our mission to stop the Ender Dragon from escaping from the End. The dragon had been threatening to escape for a while, and if she did, her first mission would be to take over the Overworld and go after Steve Alexander’s descendants. That meant Alex, Aunt Alexandra, Dad, and me. She hated Steve Alexander for locking her in the End thousands of years ago, and she’d been biding her time, waiting for revenge, ever since.

    I ran the crystal over the book’s pages. Normally using the newest crystal shard would light up more words so we could read farther. But all these pages were blank. And they stayed blank, crystal or no crystal.

    I think we’ll probably have better luck using the original tools Steve Alexander gave us, instead of using the Internet, Maison said quietly. She had been acting really thoughtful while the rest of us were panicking. They wouldn’t have had the Internet back then, so he and Maya wouldn’t have put clues there.

    See? This thing has no answers. Alex threw the phone back at Yancy, and he caught it as it struck him in the chest. You people on Earth have all these things that are supposed to make your lives easier, Alex said, but they don’t answer the hard questions!

    "Hey, at least we live
