A few hours ago, I saw a post in this community asking this question: "If YOU had to create the basis for Civil War III, what would it be and who’s fighting who?"

Well, my friends, I have a potentially perfect outline for this potential conflict. We begin by answering the first question:

• Question 1: What would it be about?

To answer this question, we need to look at the opening plot of my potential outline: I with someone entering the underworld, not to make a deal with Mephisto, but to end all deals with Mephisto. That's right. They demand that all deals made by Mephisto, from seizing Cythia Von Doom's soul to the reversal of Peter and MJ's marriage, be undone. Who would be insane enough to do this? He is. Who is? Deadpool. But why? Deadpool doesn't need to make a deal with Mephisto because he has nothing to lose. Figuratively and literally. However, while Deadpool freed everyone who had made a deal with Mephisto, his actions would divide the superhero community into two factions. In short, this Civil War would be about the implications and aftereffects of Deadpool undoing every contract made with Mephisto.

• Question 2: Who’s going to be fighting whom?

Now, for this question, we're going to see who the two sides in this civil war are. Well, the two sides are those who want to renew the contracts (the Restorationists) and those who want to avoid them (the Emancipators). On the Restorationist side, we have those who see Deadpool's renunciation of the contracts as a threat to the order and stability of the world. like Iron Man, Mister Fantastic, Doctor Strange, and Miles Morales. Meanwhile, on the Emancipator side, we have those who want to avoid the contracts for good, like Doctor Doom, Peter Parker, Mary Jane, and Ghost Rider.

A year ago, I made two versions of my first attempt at Minecraft Lore with The Story of the Endermen. However, not many seem to agree with it in present time. So, I combined those two attempts together and made this. Let’s see how it holds up before the bashing begins…

The world of Minecraft is an endless landscape of mysteries, from the origins of the Creepers to the question of whether the horizon ever truly ends. But the most profound mystery lies in the history of an ancient civilization that walked these blocks long before we did. This is where it all began, and where it all came to an End.

Chapter 1: Escaping to the End

In a time long forgotten, the Ancient Builders were the masters of the Overworld. However, their curiosity proved to be their undoing when they accidentally released two cataclysmic forces: the Wither and the Warden. These monsters ravaged the surface and upper caves, forcing the Builders to retreat into the center of the earth. There, they constructed maze-like strongholds as a final line of defense.

With the Overworld in an apocalyptic state and the Nether controlled by demonic entities, King Cobblebane—the leader of the Builders—sought a "fifth dimension" as a sanctuary. After countless failed experiments, Cobblebane was approached by nine otherworldly beings known as the Endersent. Using their combined magic, they crafted the first Eyes of Ender and End Portal frames.

As the final Eye was slotted into place, a thunderous crack echoed through the deep caverns, attracting the attention of the nearby Wardens. Realizing they were discovered, the Builders leaped into the void. Behind them, the Endersent removed the Eyes from the frames and placed them within their own chests before following their allies into the unknown realm: the End.

Chapter 2: The Ender Kingdoms

Upon arriving, the Builders were greeted by the Enderlings, the people of the Endersent. These beings formed the first Ender Kingdom, known as the Enderling Armies, led by the mysterious and powerful Heart of Ender.

This marked the beginning of a Golden Age. The Builders shared their ingenuity with the Enderlings, using the End’s unique resources to construct magnificent End Cities and soaring End Ships. To protect their treasures, the Builders created the Shulkers to act as eternal guards. They also developed End Crystals—vibrant beacons that powered their ships, channeled their sorceries, and acted as a source of life for dragon eggs. But this prosperity came with a hidden cost; the Builders were unknowingly terraforming a world that wasn't theirs.

Chapter 3: Destroying the New World

The decline began with a seemingly minor infestation. Silverfish that had hitched a ride through the portals evolved into Endermites. While the Builders ignored them, the mites began to disrupt the delicate ecosystem. Initially, the problem was managed by making the insects a source of food for the local dragons, but a darker trend followed.

The invention of the Elytra changed everything. To craft these wings, the Builders began hunting the dragons of the End. This over-harvesting led to a catastrophic decline in the dragon population. Amidst this chaos, a dragon named Jean was born. As the population dwindled, she became the last of her kind—and eventually, the formidable guardian of the entire dimension.

Chapter 4: Jean’s Story

Years of exile turned into a longing for home. The Builders realized they could not simply light a portal back to the Overworld. Experimenting with energy, they discovered that the bedrock-built "nest" at the center of the islands could be activated by a massive sacrifice of energy—specifically, the life force of a dragon.

The Builders prepared Jean to be sacrificed atop the obsidian pillars. However, as the End Crystals were activated to channel her energy, something went wrong. Jean did not die; instead, she absorbed the surge of power. Empowered by the agony of her fallen kin and the energy of the crystals, she rebelled against the Builders, transforming from a victim into a relentless tyrant.

Chapter 5: The Order of the Stone

The battle against Jean was catastrophic. She was a force of nature, evading every weapon the Builders possessed. In the ensuing chaos, King Cobblebane was knocked from the edge of the central island, falling into the void.

When hope seemed lost, a legendary group of heroes known as the Order of the Stone intervened. Soren, the Order’s leader, performed the impossible feat of riding Jean’s back while his companions—Magnus, Ellegaard, and Ivor—shattered the End Crystals. Even weakened, the dragon remained invincible until Soren utilized a secret Command Block to deal a massive blow. Finally, Gabriel the Warrior delivered the killing strike.

As Jean fell, her dissipating essence (XP) activated an Exit Gateway. Most of the Builders and the Order of the Stone jumped through, escaping back to the Overworld. However, Prince Dion, the son of the fallen King, felt a deep guilt. Along with his loyal followers, he used the remaining crystals to revive Jean, granting her a second life as the eternal warden of the End.

Chapter 6: The Transformation

The Builders who remained were forgiven by the Enderlings but were sentenced to stay in the End forever as punishment for their ancestors' greed. To protect what little remained, Dion sent the few surviving dragon eggs to the farthest islands and erased all records of their existence.

Over generations, the diet of chorus fruit and the magical atmosphere of the End began to change the remaining Builders. They grew tall and thin; their skin darkened to the color of the void. They became the Endermen. Though they gained the ability to teleport across dimensions using the pearls that formed in their bodies, they slowly lost the ability to build, speak, or remember the civilization they once were.

Conclusion

And so concludes the Story of the Endermen: a cautionary tale of how a mighty civilization became a shadow of its former self. When a player earns the achievement "Free the End," it is not just about defeating a boss; it is a mercy, freeing the Endermen from the cycle of the tyrant they created and letting Jean finally find peace. They remain in our world today as a tall, silent reminder of the dangers of over-harvesting, invasive species, and the high price of playing God.

This is just a theory... A GAME THEORY!
