Jesse POV
BOOM! After that crazy kid jumped us I got straight into a dream. It felt so real, but fake because I knew I wasn't in control. I looked through the shaded vision of what I assumed was a girl. I heard two pairs of running footsteps behind me. I realized I wasn't anywhere I should be. The arm of the body I was in raised revealing a paintball gun. She shot a small black dome on the wall. A camera.
About twenty yards in front of me I saw a cast iron vault door with a symbol on it. I didn't recognize it but it looked federal. Two boys ran in front of me. As I walked towards the door I saw my reflection. I had circular goggles tinted black and a long black leather coat. There was a hood on my head so my hair wasn't visible. But it was definitely a girl's body.
"Rico, sonic incursion device. I expect you didn't set it off in your face." I was tossed a small circular device by the guy on my right. It was placed next to the middle of the vault door. It glowed blue and made an increasing buzzing noise. Eventually the was a loud crack and a bang. The wheel you turn to open it popped off. As the vault door slid open I heard two gunshots, each next to me. Two loud thuds were heard and my vision went dark.
As I woke up, I had no desire to tell Xena and Aspen(?) what happened. Between my face in the dirt and blood on my hands, I would say my first night in the wild was pretty good for my new life standards. I still had the gas arrow in my hand and this time I didn't move my hand. Carefully with my other hand I took an axe and chopped it in half. I cut skillfully between two other thin canisters inside the arrow. I didn't set any off, but I wasn't gambling that again and poured dirt on them to prevent any from activating. The sun was just about in the middle of the sky. Xena rolled over and awoke, as did Aspen, minutes after. Without speaking we went on walking. I noticed the mountain range was closer. Also the residue of a smoke signal was dissipating. Okay, Team is alive.
"Is it me or-" I started talking, but in the middle of my sentence I fell in a hole. It was covered in gravel and when I stepped gravity took its toll and I fell. "AH!" I yelled.
"Oh, my God, are you okay?" Xena asked from above.
"Yeah, can you toss me a torch?" I yelled up. A stick with a dark orange end fell from above. As soon as I caught it, it lit up. (I am very loyal to Minecraft physics) Immediately I gasped. There was a complex redstone contraption beneath my feet. Corridors were on either side of me. I nervously touched my axe to the Redstone. Nothing. I noticed a missing piece and touched the axe to the blank space. One-by-one the redstone dust lit up. All along the walls a skull formation was set.
"What do you see down there?" Xena yelled down.
"A head." I answered simply. I rubbed the dust on the wall. The corridors suddenly lit up with purple light. I quickly realized this was the wrong neighborhood. I picked up an axe and the redstone went out. The purple died down and another, softer type appeared in front of me. A hand grabbed mine and I felt like I had my stomach going through negative earth gravity to earth to zero gravity in a millisecond. My stomach seemed to have been literally shifted around and my heart felt like it was actually in my throat. There's no light way to say this, I puked all over a tree.
Wait, a tree? I looked up with vomit on the corner of my mouth. The cube Sun hung in the sky. Xena seemed slightly disoriented but fine other wise.
"Did you jump me out of a hole?" I asked spitting bile out of my throat.
"I. Teleported you." She gasped. "I was never good at changing levels." I wiped my mouth and made sure my hoodie was clean. It was and I caught my breath. It might've been a trick of the light but I saw a streak of light go across my field view. There was a dank THUNK! and I knew it wasn't a trick of light. Some kind of instinct took over me and I pulled an axe off my back and chucked it. I heard a snap and a grunt.
"Okay, that's fair." I heard a voice say. I walked over and kicked a pile of leaves. Under was a boy. He seemed to be pointing a laser pointer at us. On his back was a katana and he wore a waistcoat.
"What were you doing?" I interrogated him.
"Messing with you. I was pointing lasers at you and I just fell. You threw an axe and a branch fell on me. But now I have your attention. I want in." He got up and brushed himself off.
"You want what?" I asked.
"You are taking down a dangerous villain and I think I can be useful." He said.
"Show us how." I asked trying to give him a chance. He pulled out his katana and put both hands on it. He slashed a tree and stabbed it. He kicked it and stabbed until the tree was in pieces. He twirled the sword and put it back on his back.
"The names Ryder."

Sorry that was so short but I do have plans for the plot. Keep sending OCs!
