((A/N: Just before we begin, here are two things I want to go over. I'm using Male and Female Jesse but they are not related. (Male: the second one next to the default Jesse in the season 1 selection screen. Female: The first one in the season 1 selection screen and she goes by Jenna.) This chapter takes place a tad bit before season 2 episode 1))
Let's begin!
Faith's P.O.V)
"Hey Aqua!" I greeted Aquariabelle (A/N: Her first name is Sayabelle) just outside my home, it was evening, and we were about to go Nightmare hunting. "Hey Mint!" She happily said back. Mint is my nickname because of the peppermint candy clip in my hair and the fact my clothing has the colors of one. "Ready to go?" I asked her. She nodded her head back. As we began walking I opened my hand and a peppermint and a bell with two lime green ribbons flowing out of it appeared and glowed green faintly. Aquariabelle did the same thing, the only thing different was that her's was a bright ocean blue heart with a white spade on the inside. The blue heart appeared to be dripping at the bottom, along with two pairs of open pristine white wings with a peridot green tint on both sides, and it was glowing an ocean blue faintly as well.
(A/N: The little palm sized things that appeared in their hands are their Dream Gauges it helps the girls transform into their Dream Keeper form and track down Nightmares since their enemies don't come to them.)
We were walking for quite a bit of time until Aqua asked, "Aren't Vibrant and Aurora supposed to be meeting us sometime soon, along this path?" I responded, " I think so, at the crossroad up ahead between town and the Everglow Forest." We walked about thirty minutes more and finally arrived. About five minutes before we got to the crossroad I asked Aquariabelle about Aurora since she knew a bit more about the Harmony Factory or more specifically the Time Guardians and the fact she's a veteran there, "Hey Aqua, about Aurora, isn't she a Time Guardian? A different power branch of the Harmony Factory?" "Uh, Aurora is a Time Guardian..." she paused, "Things on her group's side have been a little slow since they hunt Time Fragment Monsters, which appear at a very low rate ever since her group defeated the Giga Time Dragon. Compared to Nightmares, the Time Fragment Monsters appear every two weeks or sometimes more and are very easy to defeat; depending on your level of attack damage a.k.a LOAD. And the Nightmares take about three days to a week and are harder to kill, again depending on your level of attack damage a.k.a LOAD." Aquariabelle finished. "So, does that mean the Time Guardians disbanded until the next time they are needed or another batch of Time Fragments appear?" I asked with curiosity. "Yeah... since Aurora is the adventurous type, she can't sit in one place for long periods of time. So, today she tagged along." Aquariabelle replied.
((At the crossroad))
"Hey, Faith, Aquariabelle." Aurora said leaning on a nearby oak tree. "Hello, you two." Vibrant said with a gentle smile. She was standing in front of the road signs. "Ready to find some Nightmares?" Me, Aquariabelle, and Aurora replied, "Yup!" As soon as we said that she opened her hand and a glowing white music note with a glittering rainbow encircling it appears in her hand.
((Little timeskip))
It was nighttime by the time we were just outside town and nothing appeared. "Strange..." Vibrant said quietly while looking at her gauge. Aurora spoke up asking, "This doesn't normally happen for you guys?" I answered saying, "No, never, at least not like this." Aquariabelle said, "In all my days of Nightmare hunting, this NEVER happened for me, I mean like, NO glowing, no spark of shine, no nothing. Something's wrong." Just as she said that her gauge glowed supremely bright and dragged her away from us. " Guys! HELP! " She screeched at us while trying to pull away. We chased after her into the Everglow Forest.
After what seemed like hours we finally caught up to Aqua, who was in front of a clean cut pristine quartz pedestal with a book that had a amulet icon on its cover, the amulet had five gems in this order: Navy blue in the center, cyan at the top, white at the bottom, green on the left side, and red on the other. The book itself from what I could see was reddish brown hard cover with a shimmering gold outlining on all four corners and golden lettering on the bottom and top.
((Like this one))
This part of the forest I've never been to nor have I known about, which is a little strange considering I know this place inside and out.
((The place the girls are at looks like this))

"It's really pretty, and the trees, flowers, and the water they're all glowing! And look at the particles in the air." Aurora said in awe. "Did you know about this, Faith?" I shook my head no and looked back at Aquariabelle who was about take the book and open it. "Wait! Aquaria, we don't know what that is yet!" I yelled at her. She responded flatly, " Too late... " Aquaria had lifted the amulet out of the left side of the book, and began to look at the pages on the right.
(A/N: Switching P.O.V's)
(Aquariabelle's P.O.V)
I was about take the book and open it to see what was inside when heard Faith's voice say, "Wait! Aquaria, we don't know what that is yet!" She yelled at me. I responded while staring at the pages, " Too late... " I had lifted the amulet out of the left side of the book, and began to read the pages on the right. I read aloud the first page, "Nothing built can last forever..." The four gems surrounding the navy blue in the amulet started to glow. I turned the page holding the amulet in my left hand.
(A/N: Taken from the actual game, MC:SM!)
"And every legend, no matter how great, fades with time. With each passing year, more and more details are lost. Until all that remains are myths... half-truths. To put it simply: lies. And yet, in all the known universe, between here and the Far Lands, the legend of the Order of the Stone endures, unabridged, as self-evident fact."
After that page, Aurora said, "This is starting to sound and feel really familiar." I continued on, reading the third page, "Indeed, it is only a troubled land that has need for heroes. And ours was fortunate to have, so long ago, four heroes such as these.
Gabriel the Warrior, before whose sword all combatants would tremble.
Ellegaard the Redstone Engineer, whose machines would spark a new era of invention.
Magnus the Rouge, who would channel his destructive creativity for the benefit of all.
And Soren the Architect, Builder of Worlds. And leader of the Order of the Stone."
"You know, this is sounds like that Minecraft Story Mode game." Faith said. "These four friends together, would give so much to gain their rightful place, as four heroes. Their greatest quest, would take them on a dangerous journey to fight to fight a mysterious creature. Known as the EnderDragon. In the end, the Order of the Stone emerged victorious, and the dragon was defeated. Their story complete, they slipped away into the pages of legend." "Oh my gosh, your right Faith, HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS WAS FROM MY FAVORITE GAME?!" Vibrant said excitedly.
"But when one story ends... another begins." When I finished, the navy blue gem on the Order of the Stone's amulet began to react to my Dream Gauge; the winged water heart. It glowed and made a hologram screen. It recited a message from someone in that dimension. A low humming sound came from the amulet and the message began.
The holographic recording showed the Order of the Stone's amulet, spinning and glowing, then a message appeared saying, "Hello? Is anybody there?" Then we heard a voice a male's voice. Curious to know more, we simply replied, "Yes." A video appeared. "Excellent! Uh, I should introduce myself, my name is Soren and you?" Soren said.
Our eyes widen at the fact Soren was talking to us, even though he was a bit of a coward during the Witherstorm Arc. I said, "Hi Soren" I decided to give Soren, my second name instead of my first one. "My name is Aquariabelle."
A crash and then a boom and then shattering of glass was heard. "Yikes, looks like I need to hurry this up. Aquariabelle, you and your friends have been called by the Old Order of the Stone and Old Builders to complete a mission! This mission will involve the The New Order of the Stone. (A/N: Static incoming!) You... have... to... go to... BeaconTown and help the NOOTS (A/N: New Order of the Stone) stop the Admin!" Soren paused. "You must find, Olivia..." The red gem glows showing a hologram of what she looks like. "Axel and Petra..." The cyan and lime green jewel glowed and showed a picture. "Lukas..." The white gem glowed showing another picture. "And lastly but not least, Jesse." The navy blue gem glowed brighter than what it was currently. "Here I am Soren!" another male almost robot like voice said. "No, not now!" Soren said panicking.
The message ended abruptly and the hologram image of Jesse remained, flickering every now and then. I remembered something from earlier, a dream, a rather strange one. "Hey, doesn't he look familiar?" I asked pointing to Jesse. "Yeah, that's Jesse from MCSM." Vibrant responded. I replied, "I know that, it's just that... he looks a little older from when we last saw him. Just to through a curveball, I wanna say that, I actually saw them or more specifically, Jesse... In a dream."

((This is the place Aquariabelle was in, during her dream. Just imagine the floating thing (I forgot its name) is a Witherstorm except it's three times bigger and red as the NETHER and its eyes are yellow and black. There are two enemy Enderdragons on either side of it.))

"In a dream?" Aurora said in disbelief. I nodded my head at her and told the girls my dream.
((Begin Dream Sequence))
First, I came up to a town (A/N: Remember the town in episode 5 of season 1?) it was destroyed and some of the buildings were either standing, demolished, or torn half way up and the debris was floating instead of falling.
(A/N: Like the picture above.)
As I continued walking I noticed there were cracks in the ground glowing red as if it were lava and the worst thing I saw was a massive crater with a monster floating above it, I thought it was a Nightmare. I saw all of the Order of the Stone both new and old, and the Old Builders fighting against it with others whom I didn't recognize. they were fighting with all they had left, large animals, weaponry, explosives, anything you can think of. At first, I thought I was watching as an invisible spectator, until the leader, Jesse was hit with one of the beams and landed forcefully on the floating debris next to building I was on. I ran over to the right side to see if he was alright... it looked like the brunette was about to take off again but instead of doing so... he just stared at me as if he could see me, then he yelled, " Look out! " with a terrified look on his face.
I turned to look where he was pointing, and once I realized what was happening, I was a little slow to react; which is a little unlike me, so I got hit and fell off the building with my vision slowly fading to black. before I fully blacked out I saw Jesse with tears in his eyes coming to catch me, then the dream, stopped.
((End Dream Sequence))
"And you got all that from a dream?!" Faith asked in disbelief. "Yes! And it was way to vivid to be just any dream and the message about assisting the the Order of the Stone about some Admin, it's connecting a lot a pointers here, don't you think?!" I responded to Faith. Vibrant said, "It does make a lot of sense though." "Something's coming, and its coming fast. Whatever it is, the New Order of the Stone can't handle it without us." I said with determination.
The amulet glowed and shot out a brown and red laser and made a portal, the same one Jesse and the others went through. "You guys ready to kick some tail?" I asked the girls with smirk. "Heck yeah!" Faith exclaimed. "I'm always ready for another adventure." Vibrant said with a smile. "Finally, Adventure!" Aurora screamed happily and ran through the portal. Then me, Faith , and Vibrant ran through following her, excited to see what was waiting for us on the other side.
