Unused: The Truth About Null [V2]

(This was written up until 2014-11-08)

When I entered one of my singleplayer worlds, there were signs near my house that I didn’t place. All of them said “null.”
I had heard of the malevolent entity called “Null” that supposedly places signs saying “null,” but I was more curious than worried, because Null, who is completely black, is supposed to look exactly like the Forger—someone who’s helpful to players. I started following the signs in search of Null.
After walking a few hundred blocks, I was in a forest biome, next to a pool with squid in it. Suddenly, a fireball whizzed over my head! I looked around, trying to figure out where it had come from, but the only thing that was in the direction the fireball had come from was the pool of water. I walked over to it and examined the squid. They seemed normal, but then, I’ve found normal-looking mooshrooms that had an evil anthropomorphic baby.
Just then, the squid all flew out of the water. They hovered in the air for a second, then started coming toward me, shooting fireballs!
I ran.
As I ran, I noticed brown shapes on top of some of the trees. Great. The last time I saw brown shapes in trees, they turned out to be weird spider-things that chased me into a firework trap.
Abruptly, the explosions stopped. I looked back, and, sure enough the brown shapes I had seen were the spider-ish things—and they were fighting the squid!
As I was watching the fight, a firework rocket flew into the air, and exploded in the words, “All you have is flying squids! We have awesome a-rak-nids! P.S. Buy at MooTech!”
Even if the araknids—assuming “araknids” was referring to the spider things—weren’t awesome, there seeming to be a lot of them, and they were overwhelming the squid.
I went toward the place that the firework had come from, and saw a red-and-white figure wearing clothes that resembled a frog—it was the Mushroom Man, the previously-mentioned anthropomorphic mooshroom.
The Mushroom Man turned around, saw me, and ran toward me, swinging an iron sword. He hit me, and I hit him back, and a third sword, a stone one, also hit him. A wither skeleton had joined in the fight! Then I noticed the horns on the skeleton’s head, and the smile on its face. This was Username666.
Username666 seemed focused on the Mushroom Man, and didn’t attack me. Maybe he had something to do with the squid which had been slaughtered by the Mushroom Man’s araknids.
While he and the mushroom man were busy hitting each other, I started hitting Username666.
Then a thin obsidian frame with a portal in it dropped out of the sky, and a completely black figure popped out. He joined in the fight too, attacking the Mushroom Man.
“Hey!” said the Mushroom Man. “Where did you get that?! That’s one of MooTech’s portabals!”
“Not really,” said the Forger, as he ran at the Mushroom Man with a sword that seemed to be made out of iron and redstone. “It may be based on yours, but I made this one.”
“Great,” said the Mushroom Man, and he jumped into the portabal. The portal went out.
“I hope those froggy clothes are lavaproof,” the Forger remarked, as he moved on to help me with Username666. Username666, with two people working together against him, pulled out a black potion, drank it, and disappeared in a puff of smoke.
“Thanks for helping me with them,” I said.
“No problem,” said the Forger.
“Hey, I was wondering, why do you and Null look exactly the same?”
“Because Null doesn’t exist. It’s just me who people see. The signs were something I was experimenting with—I was was trying to make them activatable—but they just came out saying ‘null.’ They also explosively flew in random directions...”
“Ah. That makes sense. Well, I’m going to go back to my house. Bye.”
“Bye.”
I ran off.
When I got home, there was a chicken in my house. It was next to my cake, darting its head forward, and my cake was was disappearing slice by slice. I hit it, and it turned around to reveal red eyes. As I’d suspected—a cakepecker! I killed it, and made sure not to build a grave.
Then I ate the chicken that it dropped.
