Back in the Present

"Aiden..." I started to walk forward but Aiden ran over to me ready to slice my head off. I blocked and dodges his attacks. I started to attack him and I blocked him again and punched him with my fist at one point. "And that was for Lukas!" I thought to myself. Then I used a cool move Petra used on me while training to my advantage. His sword fell off the edge. From then on Aiden was defenseless. "Wait...Wait, WAIT!!! Hang on!!! Hang on!!!! I...i-i-i surrender! I surrender, We can talk about this right?!" Aiden begged.

"Here...here! You want your flint and steel back, huh? Take it!!!! It's your's!!!!Just please!!! Don't hurt me!!!!" He continued. I picked up the Flint and steel as got back into my stance position. Reggie came behind me and told me we should hurry. "What do you want to do with him?" Reggie asked. "Please!!! This place is getting worse by the minute!!! You can't just leave me here!!! Take me with you!!!!" Aiden pleaded.

I looked at him and for a second...I remembered him when we were kids...and...I couldn't send him over...even if I wanted to. "Get moving...you're coming with us..." I said as I got moving. " T-Thankyou!!!!! Thankyou Jesse..." Aiden smiled.

Citizens were getting attacked and we all regrouped. It was time we'd jump off. I jumped first and people had regrets, but they followed anyway.

When we reached the bottom, people were amazed. I saw Aiden's group and they got arrested. "I knew you would stop him. Nice work!" Lukas said with confidence. "Oooh I bet the Blaze Rods are in for a bad time. These Sky City people are Not happy with them." I said. "Yeah! Hopefully they dig a deep hole, bury them in it, surround it with lava and-" Lukas said before everyone looked at him in shock. Except for Ivor of course, Ivor was glad and noded. "S-Sorry, got a little carried away there..." Lukas stuttered.

The guards and Aiden came over. Aiden looked down. "Aiden..." I said as I put my hands on my hips. "Oh, uh,hi, Jesse. I'm...I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry to cause all that trouble." Aiden said in shame.

"Yeah...I'm sorry too, Aiden. I knew how you felt about Olivia and Axel and...I brought them anyways. You thought I wasn't your friend anymore but all I was trying to do was be nice. Instead I just lost more friends. It didn't have to be that way." I apologized.

"I was just so...jealous...bitter. You had new friends, and I guess I wanted the same thing you had. Then you had all this cool stuff going on and, I just wanted a piece. I wanted my time to shine too." Aiden looked down. "I'd say you have a lot to think about." Lukas added.

"Yeah...yeah...that's for sure." Aiden said. "Try and make a fresh new start, Okay Aiden? Do something good for these guys." I said. " Yeah. That sounds like a good idea...make myself a little house...maybe I'll become a writer. Y'know...Jesse, you're kindness towards Maya, Gill, and I was a trait I admired a lot...it was something that made me like you even more than I already did. I guess you never actually lost that trait, huh? I won't try to compete with you anymore." Aiden said as the guards pushed him off.

"Did he...actually...love me?!" I thought to myself. "Attention!!! Attention!!!!" Reggie called. "Hello? Everyone, please? This is your Founder speaking! Now that were all safe, we need to organize. Start planning our new community!" Isa spoke. "Are you listening to yourself? That's insane!!!! We were prisoners long enough on that island in the Sky!!!!! It's time for us to run free!!!! Build whatever we please!!!!" Milo shouted.

They kept on fighting but I thought of a new idea. "Hey! Both of you! Fighting isn't gonna solve anything!" I said to them. "It will if I win!!!" Milo replied. "Oh of course you'd think that way!!" Isa said as she looked to Milo. I think they were divorced or something, geez. They kept fighting again. "Well I think you're both right. You don't want to run around with no plan, but you can't schedule and organize everything, either. People need to be free to try new things, but you gotta be safe about it." I said.

Finally it was time to go home... and Lukas and I forgot to tell Petra and Ivor about the portal. Isa and The Eversource...err...Benidict...went traveling. Isa also gave me Benidict's crown. I looked over and saw a few pigs. "Jesse...you okay?" Lukas asked me as I looked to the pigs. "Yeah. I'm fine. Come on let's head home..." I said in a rush.

We got to the portal and I lit it up with the flint and steel. I walked in "Wait'll Axel and Olivia hear where we've been! They'll never believe-...it." I stopped myself and stared in front of me. There was a giant hallway, filled with a bunch of different types of portals!!!!!
