The minecarts raced along with Jessie, Reuben and Olivia inside. "This is incredible! The amount of engineering it must have taken to do this.." Olivia praised. Jessie let Olivia ramble on about redstone until she got fed up. "Olivia,remember what we're here for. If we don't get the order back together, the wither-storm's going to eat everything! We need Ellegaard to help save the world!" Jessie reminded the older girl. "I hope you're right. Erm, JESSIE?" Olivia cried, pointing. A ghast was right up ahead. It spat a fireball and sent both girls flying and they ended up on the floor.
"Ow,ow,ow!" Jessie squealed in pain. "Hide!" she whispered to Olivia. They jumped behind a pile of sand. "More ghasts?! Where did that one come from anyway?!" Complained Olivia.
"The minecarts!" Jessie hissed in panic. They were starting to roll off the rail.
"Do something about the ghast!" Olivia wailed. Almost immediately the younger girl pulled out her bow and arrow. "Okay,as long as you know what you're doing." Olivia told Jessie.
Olivia went and started pulling the minecarts back, while Jessie shot arrows at the ghast.
"Target!" she shrieked as the ghast poofed into smoke and vanished. Olivia had pulled up the minecarts by now. Jessie went and beckoned to Reuben who was hiding behind some of the sand. "Time to move, Buddy! Let's go!" Jessie told her mini pig. They both ran at the moving minecarts and jumped on.
"There's the sign! Redstonia!" Olivia cried out. Their ride stopped with a bump and the passengers jumped off. "You're about to go to Redstonia for the first time. How do you feel?" Jessie asked, acting like a miniature reporter. "Actually,Jessie, this is't my first time going to Redstonia. My big sister Elsie-May took me when I was six years old. She nearly got charged with child abuse when one guy overheard her calling me a little brat and saw her hitting me. She got let off with a warning because she was only thirteen." Olivia told Jessie.
"I sort of wish she was charged." Jessie told Olivia as they jumped through the portal.
The two girls and pig walked through the portal and on to a platform. A bridge rose out of the water. Jessie skipped ahead of Olivia, glancing behind to see if she was following. Once the two had got off the bridge, they heard a woman's voice shout,"Builders of Redstonia! I want you to know how much I appreciate and adore each and every last one of you!" Ellegaard yelled.
"Jessie! It's her!" Olivia whispered to the five-year-old who merely nodded.
"I will now be on lockdown and remain like that until I build my latest and greatest creation,the command block!" Ellegaard continued. "So please, continue building and creating. And whoever impresses me will be my protege! Calvin, hit the switch!" Ellegaard ordered. A dark-skinned man walked up to a switch and flipped it. "Jessie! We have to get in there before she really is out of reach!" Olivia cried desperately. The girls took off up the stairs but they closed before Jessie and Olivia could get all the up.
"Excuse,me? Mr Camel, was it?" Jessie asked. Olivia couldn't help but snicker at the name Jessie had called the man."No, it's Calvin. What can I do for you?" Calvin told Jessie in a gruff tone. "Can we talk to Ellegaard please? It's important." Jessie asked politely.
"Oh no, I can't do that. Didn't you hear her announcement? She's going to be unreachable for a while." Calvin said in a somewhat smug way. "Just so you two don't cause trouble,I'm taking this away. We don't need a three-year-old and ten-year-old disturbing Ellegaard." He added snatching a repeater and walking away. "I'm five! Six next June!" Jessie shrieked after him. "Well, if that jerk isn't going to help us,we'll just help ourselves. Luckily,there are some people that can help us." Olivia stated. The two girls nodded to each other and split up.
Jessie walked over to a pond with Reuben. Almost immediately, she heard whistling as something flew through the air. "Ahhh!" Jessie screamed, diving into the pond just as a cow joined her. "Sorry, Kid! I didn't see you there!" Called a woman as Jessie clambered out the pond. "How about I make it up to you by letting you catapult a cow. Or you can try it out with your little piggy first if you like." The woman offered. "No! Reuben will be scared!" Jessie protested,petting the scared little pig. "Hmm, suit yourself!" grinned the woman,waving Jessie off.
Jessie wandered towards a lava curtain with a man dancing in front. "Hi!" Jessie piped.
"Hey how's it going, Kid? Here to marvel at my new invention?" the man walked over to a lever and pulled it, revealing three cows jumping up and down. "Do you have a repeater? I really need one." Jessie asked.
"Sorry,Squirt, I don't have one to spare. Hey, see that schoolboy over there? That kid is so unoriginal, don't know where to start! If you're talking to him then get out of here!" The man pointed at a black-haired boy standing nearby and waved Jessie away.
"Um,okay. Bye!" Jessie squeaked. She wandered off again and bumped into someone. "Hey! Watch where you're going!" Cried the boy she'd just walked into. "Sorry." Jessie apologised.
"Hey, aren't you the very little kid that the disco freak was talking to? What was he saying to you?" Asked the schoolboy. "Are all these designs yours? Because he said you were unoriginal." Jessie told him. "Unoriginal?! UNORIGINAL?! Ohh, Disco Freak! I've got a bone to pick with you!" Shrieked the schoolboy, marching towards the disco man.
"Older people are so strange." Jessie thought. Then she noticed a repeater on the side. No-one would notice, right? Quick as a flash, she ran over and snatched the repeater and put it in her inventory and ran back to where Olivia was standing. She hurried over and slammed the repeater onto the circuit and stood back. "Jessie? The levers aren't going to push themselves." Olivia called. "Oh, right." Jessie stepped forwards and pulled all three levers in turn. The staircase opened up. "Come on, Reuben!" Jessie called to her pig, who came bounding up immediately. The trio ran up the stairs.
They walked down some stairs into a laboratory. "Wow, Ellegaard's redstone laboratory." Olivia breathed. "Are you sure? I was only three years when I ran away, but this kinda looks like the entrance of the orphanage." Jessie told Olivia. Reuben made some distressed noises. "It's okay, Buddy, she's bound to be here somewhere. Let's hope she wants to help." Jessie told Olivia.
Jessie went over to what looked like a wall of redstone only to have it moving different directions to make space to walk through. Olivia,Jessie and Reuben walked through. "This is the most redstone thingies I've ever seen." Jessie breathed.
"Tell me about it." Olivia grinned.
"Come on!" Jessie said suddenly. Olivia and Reuben ran through a doorway of gold blocks that started opening and closing as soon as Reuben was through. "What's this for?" Jessie squealed, staring at it. "I don't know! Smashing stuff?! Keeping intruders out?! There are a lot of possibilities!" Olivia answered. Jessie noticed a repeater on the side. She split two levers apart a little bit. "Try doing it again, Jessie. That's definitely the right direction." Olivia called.
Jessie split them apart again and jumped the doorway. "Great job, Jessie! Guess taking some of my books really helped you back there." Olivia smiled at her best friend.
"So you're not mad?" Jessie asked.
"No, I'm not." Olivia answered.
They walked towards a lever. One pull and the lava curtain came down. "Cool!" Jessie squealed. Olivia went to look at a button, but not for long! Jessie hurried over and pushed it,releasing bats from somewhere. "Double cool with a cherry on top!" Jessie cried.
She ran towards a lever and pulled up, revealing a zipper. Jessie jumped up, followed by Olivia and Reuben.
They walked into a room with Ellegaard scurrying around looking for something. "This is Just how I dreamt it! Walking in seeing her right there. She'd ask me to be her assistant and next thing you know, we'll be changing the world together!" Olivia whispered.
"But, didn't you see her last time? When you were six?" Offered Jessie.
"She did lead the court order but she stopped after about ten minutes when Elsie said that she was thirteen. So I did see her a little bit" admitted Olivia. Jessie nodded, content with the explanation. She walked up to Ellegaard and tugged at her sleeve. "Oh, hey! I didn't see you sneaking up on me. Oh was that the point? Don't touch anything,please these are super delicate." Ellegaard told them both. "Are you my new assistants?" Ellegaard went on.
"Are you the builder? She asked, pointing at Olivia."And are you a sort of cheerleader?"she asked pointing at Jessie. Jessie pouted. "I am not a cheerleader!" she complained. Ellegaard didn't seem to hear Jessie's squeaky little voice. "Hey, you! Goggle-girl! Switch on that T-circuit to activate the delivery chutes. And you, um, Mini cheerleader? Get me a blaze rod and an iron block." Ellegaard instructed before starting to walk away.
"She wants me to do something for her! What if I- oh I feel light-headed!" Olivia cried, before falling over. Jessie screamed and Reuben squealed. Ellegaard spun around to see the commotion. "Great, now I need an assistant to help with my assistant. Can you handle it?" Ellegaard asked Jessie. Jessie nodded.
"Olivia! Olivia! Can you hear me?" Jessie squealed, shaking her. Olivia opened her eyes.
"I don't think I've ever fainted before. Ugh, so embarrassing!" She complained, getting up.
"Everything working over- oh, hmm? Fine I'll do it myself." Ellegaard grumbled, running to one side and flipping a lever. The command block Ellegaard was working on started to wobble. "Come on, come on! Big winner, big winner, Big!" Ellegaard muttered. Just the the block blinked out of existence. "Loser! Command block six thousand four hundred fifty-one- another bust!" Ellegaard groaned. Then she turned to the girls and pig.
"About you three, um, Mini cheerleader, your friend there, does she fall over a lot? Is this often?" Ellegaard asked Jessie. "No! I was just, excited." Olivia protested.
"And with me always pacing around, I could've tripped over and dropped my ideas!" Ellegaard scolded. "Ellegaard? There are bigger problems. We need help. There's a giant monster that's eating up the world!" Jessie told the woman impatiently.
"A wither what? Who in the whole of Redstonia sent you? Was it Calvin?" Ellegaard asked.
"Just listen to me!" Jessie cried.
"Look, you seen like very pleasant people that are prone to fainting, but I just don't have the brainpower for all this. I'm am in the middle of the invention of a powerful block, it can alter time itself! I am so close I can practically taste it! And it tastes like victory!" Ellegaard proclaimed. Jessie narrowed her green eyes. "Command blocks are bad." She snapped.
Ellegaard stared at the five-year old. "Wait, you know what a command block is? Not to be belittling but, a command block is advanced knowledge and you look like you're only two-"
"I'm five,six next June!" Jessie protested. "And that's what I've been trying to tell you! Ivor's done something really bad with a command block! We need the order to help!" she added with desperation.
"Sorry to burst your bubble but, the order aren't friends anymore." Ellegaard told the five-year-old. "But, that's what we're here for! Gabriel sent us! Please, just trust me." Jessie begged.
"Alright, I'll believe you." Ellegaard gave in. "This is serious. And it's all the more reason I should finish my command block! If that monstrosity was made with a command block,another command block can destroy it!" Ellegaard cried triumphantly.
"And maybe-" Olivia began, but she was cut off by Ellegaard.
"Mini cheerleader, can you help me?" Ellegaard asked.
"Okay, but my name's Jessie, not Mini cheerleader." Jessie said. She put her hand in the middle then, Ellegaard put hers on top and Olivia put her hand on top of Ellegaard's who in turn glared at her. Then the three got to work. Ellegaard pulled some levers with ease and nodded to Jessie, she was okay with the bottom one and the middle and on the very top,Olivia did it. The chest was filled to the top with gems. In the bottom was lapis. Jessie gave it a delicate flick with her finger. That gem was the reason for all this and Jessie hated it, if only Ivor had just given Petra that diamond. Sighing quietly Jessie picked up the hateful gem. Soon the same show was happening and just like last time, it failed.
After several attempt, the command block didn't disappear. "Yes, yes! This is exciting! So,so exciting!" Ellegaard cried.
"Has it gotten this far before?" asked Olivia.
"No! Never!" Ellegaard interjected excitedly. Jessie looked up to Olivia and shot her look that clearly said, "Why is she so excited about a silly block?" Olivia in shot her youngest friend a look that told her not say anything. "Wait is it, destabilizing? Ellegaard sounded disappointed.
"No!" Jessie squealed as the wither storm's tentacle smashed through the window. Jessie, Reuben and Olivia all turned to run, but Ellegaard stayed fixed to the spot.
"Ellegaard, come on!" Jessie cried, grabbing the woman's sleeve and dragging her away. They got to the entrance. "We have to get to the portal! I am so sorry! So,so sorry!" Ellegaard cried. And the three dashed off again. They were soon running down the steps, but the wither storm seemed intent on catching Jessie and as it smashed the staircase. Jessie jumped, followed by a squealing Reuben and landed safely.
The wither storm grabbed Jessie, but after hitting it many times with her sword, it let go.
"Come on, hurry!" Ellegaard cried. She,Olivia and Reuben made it across the bridge but the wither storm smashed the bridge in half. "Jessie!" Ellegaard cried, noticing the stranded five-year-old on the other half of the bridge. Jessie jumped, and ended up hanging onto the edge which she quickly fixed by pulling herself up. Olivia jumped through the portal, followed by Reuben and Ellegaard. Jessie took on last look at the monster before jumping in too.
Meanwhile at the temple
"Hey Luna! Can you go and see if Jessie and Olivia are here yet?" Lukas called.
"Okay!" she replied. Luna ran over to part of the broken wall and looked through. A familiar redhead was running towards the temple
"Petal?!" Luna cried. She to the door and opened it just as Petra reached there.
"Hey Luna." Petra smiled. "You can keep secrets, right?" Petra added, her voice quiet. Luna nodded. Petra pulled up her sleeve and Luna gasped.
