A/N: Welcome to the first Chapter. The prologue is what I publish first so you guys can gain a sense of a backstory or something. Anyways, this story includes Fem!Jesse, JessexLukas, StevexAlex, OCxOC, and character death. But because this is Minecraft and has respawn, they aren't permanently dead. Except for Reuben. Sorrynotsorry!

Steve walked through the torch-lit mineshaft, pickaxe in hand and hope soaring through the roof that he would find something of value. Beside him walked his tamed dog, Wolf, named so because of her attitude towards anything she perceived as a threat to her owners. Steve sighed as he passed many hallways, his hope diminishing by the minute. That is until he saw a cobblestone wall in front of him with growling coming from the other side, which could only mean one thing: he was staring at a dungeon.

Breaking open one block at eye level, Steve had to jump out of the way as multiple arrows came shooting through the hole. Zombie arms also reached out after the barrage of arrows, which meant it was probably a double dungeon. Steve decided to dig around the walls and see if he could sneak through to get the loot inside the chests, cautiously breaking open one block which to Steve's relief was where the chest was. He also broke the block at eye level and crawled in, quietly opening the chest and rooting through the contents.

After searching and finding nothing of value but a book, Steve turned to make sure he wasn't spotted. It didn't seem that way, so Steve carefully climbed back through the hole he made. Running back around the walls, he went over to where Wolf sat and walked past with her getting up and following. On the way back, Steve inspected the book he had found, curious as to what it was doing in a dungeon at bedrock level. He was about to open it when Steve found himself running into someone familiar: Herobrine, his best friend.

Herobrine's lips tugged up in a smirk at the stuttering of his clearly surprised friend. However, his smirk dropped when he saw the book Steve was holding and snatched it out of his hands, trembling slightly as he tried to open it up. Failing, Herobrine handed the locked book back to Steve and instead trying to steady his heartbeat. Steve stared questioningly at Herobrine, silently asking what was wrong with the immortal, which the one in question ignored.

Hidden up in the trees, unbeknownst to the two below, were an anthropomorphic fox and a cybernetic robot. "Are you sure this is the right guy, X? Steve doesn't strike me as someone important enough to be a potential vessel. I mean, he is the best miner in the human kingdom, but-" X narrowed its eyes at its companion before speaking in a low tone. "No, M. Steve isn't the vessel, just someone in his bloodline is. Besides, that traitor is with him, and despite my hatred of him, I'd rather not lose my life to Herobrine. Just keep watch. They'll trip the trap soon enough."

M gave a nod before noticing that someone was approaching their hiding place with loud, metal footsteps. A bipedal robot fox was approaching where Steve and Herobrine were standing, looking around in wonder at all of the trees as if it had never seen anything like it. Luckily, a couple of zombies attacked Steve and Herobrine, giving X the chance to go down and quickly grab the robot and make it back up before the two noticed. As soon as X was back up in the trees, M smacked the robotic fox upside the head and growled "What the hell, Dark!? I thought we gave strict orders not to wander away from home. You could have been noticed or killed."

X ignored his colleagues, instead focusing on the exact place where the trap was and how long it would take for their victims to get there. However, Steve and Herobrine walked past the place without anything happening, irritating X beyond belief. As soon as the two were out of sight, X jumped to the ground and started investigating his trap which consisted of a piston powered by redstone that would launch the victim into the air.

M and Dark jumped down as well and stood off to the side, watching X as he muttered to himself and jumped on the piston that was causing him trouble. Dark noticed a lever hidden out of sight and walked towards it, wanting to see if it did anything before flipping it. The piston X was standing on shook a bit before everything was silent until a click could be heard. Immediately after, X was sent flying into the air, screaming profanities the entire way up and tapering into a pure scream on the way down before slamming into the ground.

X slowly pulled himself up out of the dirt, his face sparking from multiple tears in the metal face plates and red oil leaking from his damaged optic on the left side. M winced and helped the injured android to his feet, making sure X was steady on his feet before slowly starting to guide the three of them towards the location of the human kingdom's official mine. Once there, M, X, and Dark opened the door to a small building, one that seemed to be a normal building near the tracks leading to the train station by the castle.

Inside, however, told a different story. A set of tracks lead in a spiral downwards about 30 blocks before heading north to what seemed to be the middle of nowhere, a quaint little village nearby. M placed X into the minecart and hit the button that would activate the powered rails, sending the minecart with X in it through a tunnel with few turns in between the beginning and end. M and Dark climbed into separate minecarts and took off towards the same location as X, arriving at a small cave and hopping out to the floor. M helped X to his feet and guided the damaged android to a small passage that had lava lining the walls and a glass walkway.

Coming to a lever, M opened up the door and arrived at a lava geyser and a staircase leading to the above ground. On his right the walkway ended but on his left was a seemingly solid wall, until M hit the lever that activated the redstone that opened up a section of the wall to reveal a secret passage. Going through the hallway, M and X arrived at their secret base that almost no one knew existed, aside from them, the King, and several monsters that obeyed no one.

Once inside, M set X up against the wall and went to root through the materials chest to try and find some iron and a few tools to try and fix X's face and circuitry.
