The Witch is the 21st episode of Animation vs. Minecraft Shorts, being the 2nd episode of Season 3.
Synopsis[]
This is not your ordinary Minecraft witch.
Plot[]
Blue emerges from the Nether Portal, where he's relieved to be back in a swamp. He asks The Second Coming, who had just appeared, who gestures to Blue to come closer. As Blue does so, he sees the true identity of the fake The Second Coming off-camera and tries to run, but is hit with a potion, and disappears.
The real Second Coming, Green, Red and, Yellow come out of the portal shortly after, where they reunite with Blue. Showing that Blue managed to obtain some Nether Wart, the Stick Figure Team celebrate and leave. Blue, however, seems hesitant to leave, and stops Red. One at a time, the remaining stick figures go back in the portal, as each stick that went before them takes longer and longer to return. The Second Coming is the last one to enter the portal again. Finding that the other stick figures are nowhere to be seen, The Second Coming confronts "Blue", who suddenly begins attacks The Second Coming with a barrage of potions. Fending the attacks off, The Second Coming manages to pin "Blue" to the ground, who then transforms into a witch, the culprit behind the disappearance of the Fighting Stick Figures. The witch then drinks a potion of invisibility, and disappears.
The Second Coming feels hopeless now that the Witch is gone, but Red's Pig comforts him. They set off in search of the other stick figures. As they are searching, they come across a group of llamas. The Heroic Pig sniffs out Yellow, and as The Second Coming walks by, one of them makes llama noises, claiming to be Yellow. The Second Coming nearly celebrates, but he had to test the llama first, telling it to build a redstone contraption to prove whether or not the llama is indeed Yellow (because Yellow is a genius at Redstone Minecraft). The llama ends up building a contraption that makes an armor stand of Yellow. Satisfied, The Second Coming gives Yellow a yellow tapestry, and the three set off once more.
While crossing the swamp, a salmon jumps on The Second Coming and he shakes it off. They continued and the salmon lands next to The Second Coming. He was about to kick it when the Pig stops him. It then sniffs the salmon after a while, and deduces that it is Red (salmon have red scales). The Second Coming is still skeptical, so he holds some wool with different colors (which are their names) and is surprised when the salmon jumps at the red wool. Now convinced, The Second Coming carries Red in a bucket, and the group continues.
The group soon comes across a zombie, which The Second Coming tries to kill. However, before The Second Coming attacks the Zombie, it motions for The Second Coming to stop, and gestures itself to be Green. However, The Second Coming forgot to test the zombie to see if it's really Green, and as the adventure goes on, the zombie suddenly begins to start attacking the group with a diamond sword in each hand. Confused, the Stick Gang fought back, before the zombie takes the Pig with it. The zombie takes out a potion, revealing itself to be the Witch, splashes it, creating a void, then escapes through it, taking the Pig with it.
The Second Coming and the group grew hopeless again, and sat down. Without Reuben, they can't find Green, Blue, and the Witch. Suddenly, the sugarcane next to The Second Coming nudges him, claiming to be Green. Wary due to the previous attack, The Second Coming demands the sugarcane to prove itself, holding out a Note Block. The sugar cane then proceeds to play Jazzy Note Blocks, proving that it was Green. Green knows where the Witch is headed, so The Second Coming shovels Green out and continue, this time to search for Witch and the Pig.
At the Witch's hut it is revealed that Blue has been transformed into a piston to harvest nether wart. However, Blue himself does not realize that he is a piston, he merely thinks he is sitting in a blank white place. Nether warts would regularly appear before him, but whenever he tries to grab them they would vanish again. Meanwhile, The Second Coming, Red, Green, and Yellow, arrive at the Witch's hut and prepare to attack the witch. They hear the pig squealing for help. This provokes Red, who attacks first but gets turned into cobblestone. Yellow throws TNT but the witch dodges it. Green is able to fight the witch the roof as a sugarcane, Yellow throws more TNT at the Witch, and the Witch continues to fight them back. Blue suddenly hears Yellow's TNT explosion, and is now able to move around. He looks for any potions, but the Witch is about to enter the room. The pig warns Blue and Blue dives underwater, finding a brewing stand and a chest full of supplies. He starts making potions.
The Witch begins to win the fight by turning the rest of the group into useless and yet not immobile blocks. The witch is about to kill Green, but Blue throws a potion that turns him back into a stick figure. He throws potions at everyone else. They prepare to fight again, but the Witch throws a splash potion of awakening at her supplies, giving them life which provides the Witch with constant potions. Everyone begins fighting: the Witch uses her potions to turn the Sticks into useless objects, and Blue turns the stick figures into powerful mobs.
The Witch grabbed Yellow and turned him into a witch, so no one can tell who's who. The Second Coming asked Red to get the potions, but the real Witch sneakily dropped a Void potion, which transported her to the hut. She ambushed Red and turned him into a redstone block and threw him out. They spilled a chest full of potions. Blue ambushed the Witch and both used potions to turn into various mobs to defeat each other, but in the end, Blue runs out of potions and the sticks are turned into colored dyes. The witch tries to burn them and nearly finishes them off, but suddenly, inside the hut, Reuben has drunk a bunch of the potions that were spilled from the chest. The pig becomes super-powerful and launches itself at the witch, killing the Witch's moving chest supplies in the process. It begins doing crazy attacks on the Witch. The Witch tries to get away from the pig by using a black hole, but the pig also went through it. The witch also tried to turn the pig into a colored dye, but the pig turns the witch into dye using its own potion against it. He finishes the Witch by giving it a super-powerful punch, sending the Witch far, far away. The pig goes back into the hut, pushes another chest full of potions that turn the dyes back into stick figures. All five of them hug the pig.
Soon, everyone is about to leave the swamp, but they hear a sound. They see Purple, who is collecting blue orchids for no apparent reason. They have a reunion where Purple shows them another Nether Portal that he wants to show them. The Second Coming remembers what happened the last time they went into an adventure: entering through unknown Nether portals, which lead to getting separated; The Second Coming fighting the Killer Bunny; the Fighting Stick Figures escaping from the Drowned; and fighting the Spider King. Red begins to go first but The Second Coming stops him, and tells everyone they should go home. As the five go home, Purple comes out. Red looks back and says they should follow Purple and see what he wants to show them. Everyone agrees except The Second Coming, but he follows everyone to Purple anyway. They go through the portal and the episode ends.
