** The World-Healing effect that restores Minecraft retracts the waves of light that previously wiped out the Nether, causing the blocks to reappear. Some start out still in disarray, but gradually recoalesce into their old structures. A large stream of light emnates from Alan's portal, restoring large structures and previously absorbed Nether Portals. It also restores and sends through streams of mobs/items that were on the other side of those portals. Mobs and sticks that were in the Nether are launched out directly on the ground (without damaging them). When the Minecraft Game Icons finally split, the beam dissipates and spits Orange, his staff, and Purple out of the Nether portal.

In a flashback, King had a little son whom he loved dearly. One day, the two went to a fair where the son stumbled across a ''Minecraft'' simulator. Eager to try it out, the son enters the game and all seems well, until an alarm is sounded; the game is starting to corrupt. The workers and King try to bail him out of the simulation to no avail, and can only watch as the simulation falls apart, taking the son with it. Grief turns to anger as King takes it out on the workers. Time passes and King develops a way to get his revenge; he researches all about ''Minecraft'' and its workings to formulate a plan to destroy it, making a staff to help him in his goals. However, the staff cannot fully utilize its power, and requires a Master Block to function properly.
One day, King stumbles upon Second Coming and his friends playing ''Minecraft''. Watching the screen, he notices the five friends have the final component he was searching for and tries to ask around for people who know them. A young Purple grabs one of his "Wanted" posters and meets him. Taking the young stick figure in, King trains him in its functions and survival mechanics. Days pass and King and Purple enter the Nether with King's staff in hand. Venturing into a Nether fortress, they are cornered by some Piglins, but King subdues them by using his staff to spawn in some gold ingots. With that, King becomes king of the fortress.
