Hello guys! I am super excited to begin my first MCSM fic! As you probably saw in the description, this fic is basically a novelization of Episode 7 (or Access Denied). Most of it is gonna be the same as it was in the episode, except I might add in a bit of Lukesse (can't help myself, LOL). Also, the things they say might not exactly be the exact same words they say in the game. I'm not playing the game at the same time I'm writing this. I hope you guys enjoy it!

Jesse and her friends Petra, Lukas, and Ivor burst out of a portal, but Jesse, with a squid on her head, kept running and ran into a different portal.

"Ugh, not again!" Petra groaned. They ran in after her.

This led to much portal-hopping, and eventually they were thrown out of a portal made of netherrack. The group stood up and brushed themselves off. Lukas pulled a book and quill out of his pocket. "Okay... Marking that one as 'fire world'..." Lukas muttered while writing in the book.

"Oh, 'fire world'. How'd you come up with that gem of a name?" Petra asked sarcastically. Lukas raised his eyebrows.

"Did I miss something here?" he asked.

"Yeah, Petra, what's wrong?" Jesse asked, still brushing dust off of her teal armor.

"What's wrong? What's WRONG? All this useless portal-hopping is getting us nowhere close to home!" Petra snapped. "All we do is look at portals, and decide to go into them. 'Oh, a portal that looks fiery and destructive? Awesome, let's go there!'"

"It is getting a bit old," Ivor agreed.

"Wait, I just noticed! The portal we went into totally screamed 'fire world!'" Jesse exclaimed.

"You're right!" Lukas said. "And the one shaped like a skull over there- That's the White Pumpkin world! I think there's a pattern!"

"Lukas?"

"Yeah?"

"You're on fire again." He jumped, and began patting the fire out frantically.

"Ugh!" Petra stormed over to a portal made out of redstone.

"Petra, where are you going?" Jesse asked walking over to her.

"Look at this portal. Redstone means smart people. HOPEFULLY someone there can help us."

"Petra, are you sure?" Lukas asked. "We don't know what's in there."

"I AM sure. Besides, maybe I could choose the portal for once. I'm tired of Jesse calling the shots. Every. Single. Time."

"Petra, you need to be rational," Jesse tried to keep her voice as calm as possible.

"Rational?" Petra said, her voice rising. "Now you're saying that I'm irrational?"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Lukas intervened. "Let's all calm down. Jesse didn't mean that." He looked at Jesse. "Right, Jesse?" Jesse was about to say something slightly less than nice, but then she looked Lukas in the eyes. Please? he seemed to say silently. Jesse sighed.

"I'm- sorry Petra," she said. "If you think we should go through there, then we should give it a try."

"Apology accepted," Petra replied. "Thanks Jesse." They advanced into the portal, and found themselves in yet another world.

Jesse looked around. Red sand. White clay. Yellow clay. Red clay. Cacti. "Wow," she was the first one to speak. "What a cool biome."

"It's a mesa biome," Lukas said in amazement.

"Gonna write that in your little diary?" Ivor retorted.

"It's not a diary!"

Jesse looked around. Where was Petra?

"Jesse, over here!" she heard Petra call quietly. She turned around to see Petra hiding behind one of the sand dunes. Jesse ran over to her.

"What's up?"

"Look!" She pointed to a zombie not far away, slowly advancing in the opposite direction. There was a strange red contraption on the back of its head.

"What the heck is that on the back of its head?" Jesse asked.

"I don't know any more than you do, pal. Is that this world's 'thing'? Monsters like zombies come out in the daytime?"

"Care to take a closer look?"

"I'd love to," Petra said, and started dashing towards the monster with a sword. The zombie turned around. It's eyes were...red. Jesse and Petra gasped. Petra went in for the kill, but the zombie was putting up a good fight. Weird, Jesse thought. Zombies aren't normally this strong. She ran to back Petra up. She quickly landed a few blows. Finally, the zombie died.

"A zombie almost took you down?" came Ivor's sarcastic voice. Jesse and Petra turned around to see him and Lukas walking towards them.

"No, you didn't see it," Petra protested. "It was, like, SUPER zombie or something."

"Maybe the mobs in this world are... super buff?" Jesse mused.

"That seems possible," Lukas said.

"If that monster alone almost took you two down, it's a good thing there wasn't a horde," Ivor said. They heard slightly robotic groaning. The group whirled around to see about eight of the creepy super zombies heading towards them.

"That seems about right," Petra said, drawing her sword again. The group backed up until they hit the clay wall of one of the giant mesa dunes. There was nowhere to go. The zombies were about two feet away from the group when suddenly they hung their heads and halted.

"They just...stopped."

"Did we do that?"

The zombies suddenly straightened and began walking in a different direction.

"Uh..."

"Call me crazy, but I think they're trying to lead us somewhere."

"I guess we should follow them, then?" Jesse said. They started to follow the zombies, filled with confusion and dread.

So...What did you guys think? I hope you'll enjoy the story!
