So it may be a little rushed since I wrote it in about an hour, but I'm proud of it. The goal of it was to change many opinions on Green, as I (and a few others) have noticed that Green is not really liked due to his character.
I guess you can also consider this a Note Block Universe narrative from Green's perspective with some extra angst thrown in there.
----------------------------
Bursting through the portal, emotions swirled through my head like the black hole I just escaped from. But all those emotions would instantly vanish as surprise settled in. The world I had arrived in was strange. All the trees contained note blocks instead of wood, and all the animals were flying and singing. What kind of nightmare is this? I figured Red would like this place, but then I realized I don't know where Red is.
I saw her go through this portal, but why can't I find her? She's gotta be here somewhere, right? And while I was spooked by the animals, they seemed to be the only choice of who to ask. I found a few of them singing and dancing, and I can say I tried really hard to speak to them, but they just didn't understand me.
I kept trying, but thoughts lingered in my mind. What if everything back home was destroyed? What if King Orange won? What if I never saw the others again? They're the only thing I have of a family. Would all those moments that we spent together be put to waste?
Those thoughts made me pause and contemplate. What was I doing here? The portal was right behind me. Yellow must’ve been right when he said not to go, but I was stupid not to listen. Yellow was always smarter than me. And Second too, risking his neck just to save us? He took on King single-handedly, while I just hooked pigs with a fishing rod as my friends did all the dirty work. What was I to them? Definitely not an asset.
I snapped out of my daydream when the animals turned back to me. Using my very limited knowledge of this world, I tried communicating with them through a local note block. By tapping it twice, the animals seemed to understand that I was trying to speak, and thus I was able to move on. I asked them if they had seen her, and they admitted that they had. So I followed their directions, taking the note block with me.
I paused again, though. Was I doing the right thing by pushing on through this world to find her, or should I go back to the comfort of my friends? I decided on the former. She's all alone now, and I'm the only one who can help her. It's up to me to do this.
But can I do it? This place was foreign, and I didn't know if I could find her. If any of the others were here, they could probably find her better than I. Red would probably use a pig or something to follow her trail, Blue would easily cover the ground with potions, Yellow's intelligence would help think of the angles at which she might've gone-
But what about me? My only talent was creativity. How's that gonna help me? This is why I feel useless. I always try to be better than the others because I'm useless. I'm not good for anything. The others might be jealous of me, but they're nowhere near as jealous as I am of them. I always try to one-up them so I can feel better about myself, but I realize now that that isn't the right thing to do. I always try to be good at everything just to please myself.
Then it hit me like lightning. I realized my flaw. I was selfish. That's why I never appreciated anyone's talents and always thought I could do better. But soon that sheer moment of realization was soon smashed with a heavy load of shame and guilt. I found it difficult to breathe, like something was crushing my lungs. Tears started streaming down my face. All this time I had done what she had done, of putting others below me, and I never realized.
That's why I was here. I was the only one who could help her, because I could relate to her. If I could convince her to change her ways, I could definitely change my own. All I have to do is start now. And I wouldn't give up until I was a rotting corpse. I'm not leaving this world until I find her.
And soon I will, as after searching through a cave, a town, and a plateau, I would see her in the distance.
I instantly ran after her, and she too ran when she saw me. I think she thought I was irritated at her betrayal earlier, but I could care less about that. All that mattered was getting her home.
By the time I caught up with her, we were on the top of a snowy mountain and the sun was setting. It was extremely windy, which only added to the cold temperatures. But I didn’t care, I just pushed on.
“Purple, I just want to talk!” I called out to her through the tempest.
“No!” she yelled, sobbing. “I've been trying for years, and nothing's come of it!”
“What do you mean?” I asked, walking behind her. “Listen, I'm not gonna hurt you, just take the time you need to explain.”
But her explanation soon turned into a full-on vent of her life story. Starting from when she was a kid, she always tried to impress her dad, which caused her to do her many terrible deeds, including what she was doing now. She had tried to find a father figure in King, but she had only found rejection. All she wanted was to impress her family, mostly her dad. And all she was met with was failure.
“Purple…” I started, but she cut me off.
“Earlier, when you asked if I was good or evil, I knew the answer.” she cried. “I'm evil. I've done so many horrible things, and I'm sorry. So please, just leave me here to die alone.”
I was alarmed. I knew I had to help her, even if I didn't know how. Blue would know, I thought, but I pushed that away. This was my moment. “Purple…” I said, handing her her elytra. She paused when she realized I was still there. “Here, take it.”
“I know what it's like to go through something like this. Of course, I didn't go as full-scale as you did, but I have my own fair share of experiences. Back home, I always wanted to be the best, so I could think better of myself. I always neglected others as that made me feel better about my own pain. But being here, in this world by myself made me realize that one can change. Just because you're like this now doesn't mean you'll be like this forever. So what do you say? Let's start a new chapter. Together?”
Purple stared blankly, blinking her eyes to wipe away the tears. “Umm… I…” she stuttered.
“You wouldn't want me to go through this alone, would you?” I teased. “Please, take my side and let's do this together. Let's change for the better.”
Purple started to stand, and I helped her to her feet. She was still sobbing endlessly from the guilt, probably more so than I had done prior. I used my music skills to represent all of us, and I showed her that the others will accept her too. And that was enough to convince her. We shared a hug, one that both of us desperately needed. What I said earlier was wrong. This wasn't my moment, this was hers.
“So, I'm good?” Purple asked in disbelief.
“No.” I said, stone-faced. I saw the expression on her face instantly fade. “You're just Purple.” I joked. “Just be who you truly are. Don't think of yourself in terms of good and bad, just think in terms of how you think you're meant to be.”
“Thanks,” Purple replied. “For everything. Now let's go help the others.”
“Agreed.”
We took off with Purple's elytra, as she held onto me as we flew through the night. It was certainly a breath-taking experience. We landed directly in the portal, flying through and into the Nether. Purple dropped me off on what remained of the bastion, and punched King directly in the face with a rocket-powered punch.
I was proud. Not of myself for once, but for another person. That was progress.
