Paths are different endings. There will be three endings- Welp, I'm not gonna spoil anything so-

Skeleton's POV~

~

"Wither, what the hell are you-!"

Wither shoves me into a portal, and I scream as I crash into a familiar room.

Zombie's room.

I heard footsteps approaching and I groan. Zombie gasps and says, "Skelly, what happened?! Why are you here?"

"Huh...? Wh-"

Slime bounces in and says, "You didn't tell me he was coming."

"Yeah, I don't know why he's here but... Skelly...?"

"Okay, I'm going to fucking kill Wither later. Like, what the fuck!" I mumble to no one in particular. Zombie and Slime exchange looks.

I start to worry about him. Why would he do that?

"Guys, can I borrow your phone?"

Zombie hands his phone to me and asks, "Sure, but why?"

Dialing up Herobrine's number, I tell him the situation. He tells me to wait a few minutes.

Hanging up, I hand the phone back to Zombie. "...Can you please explain what's happening? I'm so fucking confused," Slime says. Zombie nods, and I sigh. Sitting down on his bed, I explain the story.

Wither's POV~

~

Trembling, my sword starts to shake. The skeleton laughs and says, "Wow, you really are a loser, aren't you?"

"Tell me why y-you did this to me," I whisper. He cackles and says, "It was the only way for me to steal this bow." He pulls out a bow with a golden enchantment and smirks. "You see, I wouldn't have been able to sneak in without a skeleton's form, so," he continues, "The only way was for me to kidnap one and use it."

The bow glistened, radiating an orange aura- most likely from the lava. "Y-you got what y-you wanted, so why can't I be normal again? I don't want to be a wither skeleton!"

"Oh, look who's back~," A familiar voice says. I turn around, face-to-face with a witch- the witch that had burned me alive.

Charging at her, I shove the sword's blade deep into her stomach. She growls and throws a potion at me, but I use my hacking ability to counter the effect- and it hits the skeleton instead.

"Turn me back," I hiss. She chuckles and says, "There's no way to do that, stupid~"

Insanity hits me, and I stab her many times until she falls numb. Her screams are silenced, and I walk up to the skeleton.

"Tell me how!" I shout, thrusting the blade deep into his ribcage. He screams and shouts, "Fine! Please!"

I keep the blade in his ribcage and say, "If you're lying to me, I'll torture you to death."

"F-fine! Listen to me!"

"Talk."

"I-in order for you to get your memories back, drink this potion. It was the red one that I had given to you; this will reverse the effects. A-and, about being a skeleton again, there's no way to permanently do that, but-!"

Growling, I push the sword in a bit deeper. He screams in pain, and I smile, losing my sanity. "What must I do?"

"Y-you have to kill m-me, but please, don't-!"

"Don't worry~" I whisper, "I'll make your death swift."

Taking my sword out of his ribcage, I shove it deep into his skull.

His body falls numb as his blood is spilled all over me.

"Eww," I mumble. Debating if I should drink the potion or not, I decide to take the risk. Besides, I'll use my hacking ability to ensure I won't die.

Gulping the bottle down, I sit down quietly.

I drop the bottle, and I lose consciousness. 

~

"Mmph..."

Opening my eyes slowly, I yawn and attempt to sit straight.

What happened? Why am I laying here?

My hands were stained with blood, and... I'm a lot smaller?

"W-what?" I whisper. My voice had become a bit squeakier, so I covered my mouth.

Standing up, I realized how short I was. Looking down at my hands, I realized I wasn't a wither skeleton anymore.

I'm normal.

Gasping, I search through my inventory to find my bow.

Walking around, I decide to return to the overworld. I was so happy- I still didn't remember a few things, but being a skeleton again meant everything to me.

I accidentally step into a puddle of lava and hiss in pain. "Oops, I forgot, heh..."

Burns and whip marks were now visible- my milk-colored bones made them obvious. Walking through the portal, I'm greeted with a warm breeze that passes by. It was a bit past midnight, and I couldn't be happier.

I still couldn't remember much. What's my name? I thought, staring at the stars. Will I ever remember?

Do I have a family like skeleton does?

Ehh, I'm just happy to be a skeleton again. Wait, I can still hack, right?

Closing my eyes, I think about a cake. It appears in my hands moments later, and I sigh in relief. Swallowing it whole, I close my eyes and listen to the echos around me.

Skeleton's POV~

~

I'm anything but peaceful right now. Why is Herobrine taking so fucking long? What if Wither's hurt?! What if-!

"Skelly, chill! He'll be here soon," Zombie says reassuringly, patting my back. A teleport is heard, and Herobrine stood by the door frame.

"Skeleton, come with me. We'll look for Wither." Nodding, I grab his hand gratefully as he teleports us to Wither.

Landing with a thump, I desperately look around. "Wither?!" I shout, "You better be here!"

Herobrine helps me search, and I hear rustling nearby.

What is that? Wait, what if it's a wolf?!

Gulping, I step closer.

~

Wither's POV~

~

Something barked at me, and I rolled my eyes. The wolf gets closer, and I realize I'm not a wither skeleton anymore- wolves eat me.

Yelping, I make a run for it as the wolf chases me. "Holy shit, I totally underestimated wolves! Ahh-!"

"Wither?!" I heard Skelly's voice shout, "You better be here!"

Oh, shit. Uhh-

"Fuck off, wolf!" I shout, reaching for my sword- but I end up pulling out a bow. Shit, I'm not very good at this-!

Using my hacking ability, I give the arrows a homing-factor and shoot them off in a random direction- but they curve and hit the wolf in the stomach, and it dies.

That was close.

"Phew," I mumble. I heard rustling in a bush nearby and grab my bow. I didn't want to shout, because my voice was as squeaky as a seven-year old's voice. "Shit, shit, shit sh-"

A mob hops into view, and I scream.

"Oh my god, what the fuck?!" I shout, not even taking a moment to take a closer look at the mob. Please don't be another wolf, please don't be-

The mob approaches again, and I grab my bow. "Back up, or I'll shoot!" I shout, trying my best to sound threatening- but my immature voice ruins it.

"Another skeleton...?" The now-familiar voice says. "Wait, Skeleton?!"

"Wh-"

I run up to him- and he's a few inches taller than me. Nooooooo-

"Uhm, what's your name?"

I was about to respond when a few other voices filled the forest. "Skelly, did you find wither?"

"Nope, just another skeleton like me."

Just then, another wolf appears.

"Holy shit, what the fuck?! Another one?!" I shout, grabbing my bow, I load three arrows and put a homing effect on them before releasing. The wolf gets hit almost immediately and dies.

Another wolf pops out of the bushes. I yelp and shout, "Where's my fucking sword?!"

Enderman helps me out and beats the living shit out of the wolf. He picks me up and says, "Woah, this one's small."

"H-hey! Put me down!" I shout, flailing my arms. Enderman chuckles with the rest of the mobs, and I throw a hissy fit. Skeleton chuckles and asks, "So, are you ever going to tell us your name?"

"I'll consider it if you guys put me down!"

The mobs wheeze, and I growl. Using my hacking ability, I teleport out of Enderman's arms.

"Ha," I say, sticking my tongue out. Their eyes widen and they all exchange glances. "Wait, how..."

Facepalming, I roll my eyes and cross my arms. "Wow, seriously, guys?"

Herobrine walks over and asks, "Who's that?"

"I don't know, but he's so cute! Look, he's so small!" Creeper exclaims. "I'm not cute!"

Herobrine picks me up effortlessly and I growl. Skeleton looks at me for a few moments before gasping.

"Wait a minute!"

Finally! Of course, Skelly would figure out first that it's me-!

"Are you hurt?! Guys, look!"

The mobs and Herobrine start examining my scars, and I couldn't get any more annoyed. "Guys, give me some fucking space!"

"Awe, he looks so cute! How old are you?"

"What?! Okay, Skelly, this isn't funny anymore! Herobrine put me down! Stop staring at me!"

"Skelly...?" He repeats. "Wither?"

"Ugh, finally! You guys are so dumb!" Herobrine gently places me on the grass, as his eyes widen. "Woah, no way!" Ghast exclaims.

"Hhhh- I'm so done with you guys."

"Wait, Wither... How?!" Skeleton asks, "Is this how you used to look?!"

"I don't know!" I squeak. Covering my mouth in embarrassment, Skelly pats my head and says, "I'm finally taller than you!"

"What do you mean, 'used to'? You used to be a skeleton?" Zombie asks. Skelly nods as I groan. 

"Wither, why the fuck did you throw me through a portal?!"

"Uhh..."

Thinking about my options, I reply, "No reason."

"Wait," Skelly says, examining me, "you look a lot like..."

He drops his bow. "...Arrow?"
