Updating again because...well, why not XD I've got muse, I've got time, so y'all get another post :D
Also, I am really pumped up because if you google(and probably on other search engines as well) Minecraft Story Mode Reverse AU Twisted Timelines is the eighth result. Add the word fanfiction, and it becomes the sixth result :D
TheAmberShadow - No prob! And yeah, but this Jess has got brown hair so she had to as well XD
Dear Starclan I know XDXD It wouldn't have been too bad because one's about Cassie Rose, ones about Harper and the other is about Jesse, but still. I can just see like, cracks appearing on the wall while he is reading one of them with his head like...exploding XD
Yeah I didn't like the canon events that lead to Ivor making the Wither Storm, so I completely blew up the betrayal scene to Jesse's almost dying, which, as you might imagine, led to him having some...issues with the Order.
Raintag - I love the Lava/Skull house, and have actually recreated it on pocket edition. I don't know if you've read my 'if i were in episode 6' fic, but in it i reveal my love for lava traps (but i suck at redstone so the lever is always like glaringly obvious XD) so I was just like 'EEEEE THIS IS THE COOLEST THING I HAVE EVAH SEEN!' at Ivor's lava house.
No problem, your stories are awesome, and now you will get more readers, who will discover this :D
And yes, lamb!Reuben is the cutest thing ever, but also the MOST IMPOSSIBLE THING TO DRAW! #! $$# %#~$
You don't gotta do a BDay fic for me, but if you were to I would be really honored that people like my writing enough to write me a birthday present fic
I wanted to have Harper pick up the book, YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I WANTED TO. Heck, I'm kinda tempted still to go in and edit that in, but I probably won't. And dear stars I know xD Like I told Amber, cracks in the wall, Ivor's head exploding
On to the fic!
Bursting out of the basement, Ivor led the others into the massive crowd of people who were gathering to listen to the announcers up on stage. Mingling into the crowd, Ivor could hear what the announcers were saying "And now, for the first time ever at Endercon, we are proud to present, the Warrior of the Order of the Stone herself, give it up for PETRA!"
As a redheaded woman stepped into the circle of light, Ivor and his friends regrouped at the back of the crowd "Is everyone alright?" Ivor hissed, keeping his voice quiet so as not to disturb the people who were blissfully unaware of the monster being created downstairs. Ellegaard looked around the group, paled, and looked them over again "Where's Harper?" she asked, keeping her voice low as well. Ivor paled as well as he looked into the crowd and failed to see the brown wearing female. "I thought she was right behind me" Ivor said slowly.
Magnus picked at the edges of his dark green hoodie "Uh, if she's not up here, then that means she's down there" Ivor and the others all turned to look towards the oak door, closed and blending into the shadows. "Jesse's got an Iron Golem, and all the ingredients to build a Wither town there" Gabriel said, turning his head to look over the huge group of people who were cheering at whatever Petra had just said. "If he unleashes it on this crowd of people..." he shook his head, unable to finish "We need to act quickly."
"It just so happens" Ellegaard said slowly, her dark amber eyes trained on the stage "that the greatest warrior of all time is in the building. We should ask Petra for help, it's the best way to save Harper" Gabriel nodded "She is quite tough, she can hold out until we get Petra on our side"
Ivor shook his head "You guys get Petra, I'm going after Harper myself."
Gabriel frowned "Are you sure Ivor?"
Ivor turned so that he was facing the door to the basement "I'm sure. You all focus on getting Petra, I'll be back, with Harper, as soon as I can."
Tiptoeing down the stairs took a lot longer than normal walking, but since he didn't want the Iron Golem to hear him Ivor was going for the stealth approach. Reaching the bottom of the stairs, Ivor peered carefully around the room. Not seeing the golem, Ivor began to creep into the room. "Harper" Ivor hissed "Can you hear me?" walking further into the room, he added "even though I'm whispering?"
"Ivor?" Harper's voice hissed back. Head snapping towards the direction, Ivor watched as Harper lifted the lid of the chest he had hidden behind earlier. "Is that you?" Ivor nodded, and gestured for her to get out and come towards him. Harper pushed the lid higher, then gasped, and ducked back down. Ivor frowned, and turned his head towards where she had been looking, and gasped, ducking behind a bookshelf and narrowly avoiding being spotted by the Iron Golem, which was wandering through the library.
A few minutes later, as soon as the coast was clear, Ivor leaned out again and hissed "Are you alright?" Harper's chuckle could be heard, muffled, through the chest, and the lid cracked open enough to reveal her eyes "It's ah...Well, I can't say it's the best spot I've ever been. Any bright ideas?" Ivor nodded, his face hard "I'm going to go in swinging" he said.
Harper's eyes narrowed skeptically "With what?" Ivor drew his stone sword, and Harper gave him a glare "Don't. You. Dare" Ivor groaned, but sheathed his sword. Peering around the bookshelf he was hiding behind to watch the Iron Golem, Ivor picked up a potion that was resting on a shelf next to him, and hurled it on the opposite side of the room. The Iron Golem's head swung towards the noise, and lumbered in that direction. "Now Harper!" Ivor snapped "Run!"
Harper leapt out of the chest and half ran half stumbled towards the stairs.
Narrowly avoiding the Iron Golem's swinging arms as it chased them, Ivor ducked at the same time Reuben turned around and head-butted the creature in its chest. Trotting back to Ivor's side as the golem fell to its back, Ivor grinned and rubbed Reuben's head "Thanks bud" he said, before turning to chase after Harper who was already half-way up the stairs. Once they were high enough that the golem, too wide to fit in the stairwell, couldn't reach them, the three slowed to a walk. "Thanks for coming back for me" Harper said softly. "I wasn't sure that anyone would."
Ivor smiled slightly at her "No one left behind"
As Harper and Ivor emerged from the basement stairs, Ivor's dark blue gaze instantly honed in on Magnus, standing at the back of the crowd, and talking as loudly as he could without shouting.
"I cannot be any clearer!" the bald male was saying "Weird, guy, doing weird stuff!" besides him, Ellegaard had her face in her palm and was shaking her head, and Gabriel was sidling into the crowd like he didn't want to be associated with Magnus.
"Freaky with a side of strange!" Magnus continued, as Harper and Ivor walked close enough to see Petra's confused, and slightly tired expression. "Why won't you listen to me?" Magnus added "What, do you want me to tell you charades style?"
"I promise you" Petra said, rubbing the space between her eyes with one hand, while the other hand rested on her hip. "That is the LAST thing I want you to do"
"Four words!" Magnus said anyways, holding up one hand with his thumb bent across his palm "Six syllables, rhymes with Scmonster in the Smasement"
Petra's hand went from between her eyes to covering her entire face. "Next" the redhead called through her palm.
"Wait-" Ellegaard tried to say something, anything, but a new, chillingly familiar voice rang through the room.
"I have a question" Ivor paled, and turned his head towards the raised hand that was connected to a brown haired figure in the back of the crowd, that was steadily moving forwards."
"Just tell me first" Jesse said "Do you truly believe anyone can be great?" Petra tilted her head, as though she didn't understand the question, but she answered "With enough hard work, yeah"
"So that was where I went wrong" Jesse snarled, pushing people out of his way so that his face was in full view of Petra "I simply didn't work hard enough?"
Petra looked like she was going into shock "Jesse?" she whispered, eyes wide and jaw nearly unhinged "Jesse is that...is that you?"
Jesse's head tilted slightly to the side and he said with no little smirk "Thought I was dead, didn't you" he said, gesturing to the scar that was fully visible without his cloak "Well you thought wrong"
"That's the guy that attacked us in the basement!" Ivor shouted, but Petra seemed unable to move, unable to speak, as she stared at the brown haired man.
"Why don't you tell them the real story Petra" Jesse snarled, dusting off his cloak as he climbed up the three steps to the stage. "Jesse" the redhead said "Jesse, I...I didn't want to, you have to know that"
"What is she talking about?" Ellegaard whispered, and Ivor shook his head "I have no clue"
"Whether you wanted to or not, you still did it" Jesse snapped, crossing his arms. "Now then, these people were promised greatness, and I'm ready to deliver."
Walking over to the edge of the stage where a lever sat ontop of a red concrete beam, Jesse turned his head so that his gaze met Petra's "I am sorry that this is how they must learn the truth"
"Petra, you've got to stop him!" Magnus shouted, as Jesse pulled the lever and pistons began firing. Part of the floor pulled away and the soul sand, strange orange block, and two wither skulls emerged out of the floor.
"Nothing built can last forever Petra" Jesse said, quoting the book 'Legend of the Order'. Reaching into his bag, Jesse pulled out the final Wither Skull, and Petra finally moved "Jesse no!" she shouted, lunging forwards.
But it was too late, the skull had already been placed on top of the middle block, and with an explosion that knocked Petra and Jesse away, the Wither came to life.
Jesse got to his feet first, a maniac grin splitting his face as he shouted "Wither, Attack!"
The block in the middle glowed brighter, and the monster began shooting out flaming wither skulls at the people, who, understandably, were running away screaming in terror.
Petra seemed to have snapped out of the shock of seeing Jesse, and her brows narrowed "Everyone remain calm" she shouted over the screams "This foul beast is no match for me" she drew her sword and would likely have charged while the Wither was still distracted, but Jesse snarled "Wither, Attack!" this time pointing at Petra. The orange block glowed brightly again, and all three of the monster's heads turned to face Petra.
With a shout, the Warrior lunged forwards, slashing at the orange block with her enchanted sword. For a half-second the beast caught on fire, but it quickly recovered, letting out an inhuman screech and shooting flaming skulls at Petra, who tried to knock them away with her sword, only to end up with her sword clattering to the ground, and herself flashing red.
"What have you done?" Petra wheezed out, one hand over her ribcage, while the other she used to push herself to her feet.
"Petra!" Ivor shouted, starting to run closer, but freezing when the redhead shouted "No! Stay back, it's after me, not you"
"I do believe this has gone on long enough. Petra, you may not be able to defeat this beast, but I can" Jesse said, stepping up to the stage once again "Wither, retreat" he shouted. The Wither turned towards him slowly. While it had been shooting out wither skulls, it had been sucking in other blocks, and its middle head was now something of nightmares. The middle block was still exposed though, carried in the beast's ribcage. Jesse cleared his throat "Retreat!" he shouted again. When still nothing happened he shouted "Retreat! I said Retreat!"
The Wither did not retreat, if anything it actually drew closer to Jesse, who was taking nervous steps backwards.
"It's not working" Ivor shouted.
"No need to be alarmed everyone" Jesse said, digging around in his inventory bag "I have an elixer that will destroy this creature" he pulled out a purple potion, and Ivor and Magnus instantly paled. "Is that..." Ivor said slowly, turning to Magnus, who nodded, eyes glued to the potion Jesse held in his hands.
Pulling the cork out, Jesse took aim, and threw the potion directly at the block the Wither held. The potion exploded into purple particles...and nothing happened. "What?" Jesse said, stumbling backwards "Impossible, I took such care"
"The potion!" Ellegaard shouted "Magnus, throw the potion!" Magnus frowned "But...finders keepers" he said, with a small whine.
"You thieves!" Jesse snarled "You've ruined everything"
Reluctantly, Magnus withdrew the potion from his bag, and Ivor snatched it from his gloved hands. Taking only a few seconds to aim, Ivor threw the potion, and watched as it smashed into the black scale-like hide that had just finished covering the glowing orange block.
"It's protecting itself" Jesse said in horror "Without the Command Block exposed, the potion is useless! It...it wasn't supposed to happen like this" while he was speaking, the brown haired man was backing up slowly. As he said those final words, he turned tail and took off.
"Coward!" Ivor shouted after him. He would have said more, but a purple beam of light was suddenly shooting out of the wither's middle head. The light darted around the room for a few minutes, before targeting in on Petra, who began to float upwards towards the creature. Ellegaard shot forwards, and grabbed hold of the warrior's left leg "Ivor help!" the redstone specialist shouted, and Ivor ran forwards, taking hold of Petra's other leg, and together with Ellegaard, the pair pulled the redhead out of the light, causing her to collapse back to the ground.
"Thank you" Petra said, picking up her sword since she had fallen near it. Sheathing it, Petra turned to stare at the Wither before she said "Jesse was right about one thing, I can't defeat this thing on my own." she turned, and studied the six of them. Gabriel, sword drawn. Ellegaard, covered head to toe in redstone dust. Magnus, fingers tapping nervously against his side, Harper, hugging her arms and shuddering as she stared at the Wither. Reuben, bleating and shaking with fear, and Ivor, looking up at Petra with determination.
"Everyone is running away, everyone...but you" Petra said. "Will you come with me? I must get to the temple, but what happens next, I cannot do on my own"
Ivor didn't hesitate before saying "Of course" and the others were quick to follow with their own words of agreement.
"Then let's get out of here, we haven't a moment to spare"
And that's a wrap!
Hope you all enjoyed, see ya next time!
