- And after slaying the dragon for the final time,
our heroes flew off into the void-sunset.
The end.
- Wow, that was such a great story.
Why haven't we explored The End before?
- Because we'll die?
- Unfortunately, Chick's right.
I mean, you heard the story.
Poisonous fruit that'll eat you from the inside out,
strange and indestructible guardians,
fast labyrinthian cities.
It's a death trap.
- Even we're not stupid enough to go there.
- Well I think we'd make great End explorers.
Imagine it, just a couple of pals exploring
the most hostile environment known to man or pig.
(intense music)
- Now that that's over, at least we can go home,
have a warm meal.
- Wait a second.
We got to explore the outer end islands first!
- And how do we do that?
- There!
- Whoa, this is--
- Empty. - Incredible!
Look at all the delicious fruit!
- Careful, that stuff's poisonous.
- I'll stick with the food we brought with us, thanks.
- Oh. - What is it now?
- We actually ate it all.
- So you're telling me--
- Time to take our chances with the chorus fruit.
- Oh my God, he's dead.
- No, you idiot.
He's over there.
- Oh, thank God.
Wait, did you just teleport?
- Huh? I guess I did.
You guys should try these, they're delicious.
- Well, he was right about one thing.
- Come over here.
- [Porkchop] What is it?
- Try eating the chorus fruit right next to the edge.
Maybe it'll teleport you to the next island.
- Or send you falling into the void.
- No, it probably won't do that.
- Probably? - I'm on it.
- Well, I guess that's a bust.
- How do we get over there then?
- We can build a bridge.
- A very narrow and flimsy bridge.
- Over the dark abyss.
- Exactly.
That's the spirit.
- Whoa. - Let's go!
- [Stan] Wait!
- Guys, a little help?
(Stan yells)
- This isn't so bad.
- Those things just spit at me.
Gross.
- Now we got all these awesome shells, too!
Do you think these are like shellfish?
- What, no!
Come on, let's just get to the elytra.
- Whoa.
- Wait a second.
There's three of us and only one pair of wings.
- Porkchop should get it.
- [Both] What?
- You know how many bets I would win if Porkchop
got the elytra?
That would show 'em.
- Hang on, I want the elytra.
- But you already have wings!
- I can only float.
I want to experience real flight.
- Well I think Stan should have it.
He's the only one that they'd fit anyways.
- You haven't even tried them on.
- I don't wanna!
I'd fall right off the ship.
Pigs aren't made to fly.
- You can always give them to me.
- Sounds good to me.
- What? No!
- Sorry, Stan.
You're outvoted.
(Ender dragon screeching)
- [Stan And Chick] Boo!
- What?
- Why did the ender dragon come back and kill us all?
- Yeah!
How come you gave me the elytra
and then never let me use it?
- You said The End was dangerous.
- Yeah, but you made everything that was dangerous
easy to defeat.
And you just happened to be the one defeating them.
- No way that would happen in real life.
- Whatever.
I know my story is good.
Besides you didn't let me finish.
- I don't want to hear the rest.
- At least let me read the epilogue.
- Fine.
- Let's get it over with.
- [Green Man] I see the player you mean.
It can read our thoughts now.
- [Blue Man] So it knows that as part of a game.
- [Green Man] That is not how it chooses to imagine itself.
But yes.
- [Blue Man] This player used to dream.
- [Green Man] What did a dream?
- [Blue Man] The player dreamed it was alive.
It dreamed it created.
It dreamed of shelter.
- [Green Man] Does it know that we love it?
- [Blue Man] Sometimes, not as often as it thinks
it is alone.
- [Green Man] And yet they play the game.
- [Blue Man] The player is restless.
- [Green Man] I will tell the player a story.
- [Blue Man] But not the truth.
- [Green Man] No, a story that contains the truth
safely in a cage of words.
- [Blue] Once upon a time, there was a player.
- [Green] That player was you.
- [Blue] Sometimes the player dreamed it was a man
that lived with talking animals.
The world was flat and infinite,
the days were short and death was not death.
- [Green Man] Sometimes to player dreamed it was lost
in a story.
- [Blue Man] Let's go back.
There was a world, much older than this one.
On it, were other players.
Players who played the long game of life
and who created shorter games.
- [Green Man] Sometimes the players
would become other players, would create other players.
- [Blue Man] Shush.
And sometimes the player believed that it was reading words
on a screen.
- [Green Man] And sometimes the play believed
it was hearing a story
that the universe was speaking to it.
- [Blue Man] And the universe said you are not separate
from every other thing.
- [Green Man] And the universe said,
I love you because you are love.
- [Blue Man] And the player woke up
because the game was over and the player dreamed better,
dreamed longer.
You are the player.
- [Green Man] Wake up.
- So what'd you think?
Waiting for Alex to join the block squad?
Wish you could be the first person to know
when Tanner finally wins the Battle Royale?
