So this one (Once again) was reccomended by ChocoDrake. They (honestly don't know gender) gave me 2 ideas and I really only want to do one of them. This one takes place after episode 4 in an AU where episode 5 doesn't happen (cuz they're all dead) and Wither sickness (From wither skeletons) is contagious. Whoops spoiled it...hehehe. I may be over doing it with the character death...NOPE. Also this is in two parts because I don't have time to write whole stories anymore...(About to go overboard with the dialoge

Wither Sickness - Chapter 1

After helping rebuild the town after the Witherstorm, Lukas decided to go to Redstonia to help with more rebuilding. He rebuilt the portal to the Nether for a short, yet dangerous, shortcut. About 30 seconds after entering the nether, he ran into a wither skeleton. It looked down at him and struck him in the shoulder. He ran back, holding his shoulder, toward the portal and jumped through it, running back to Beacontown.

The rest of the order were sitting around in the order hall waiting for anything interesting to happen. Lukas ran in and tripped. Jesse helped him up. "Are you ok?" She asked. She notice he was in some kind of pain. Most likely form that fall. "Move you're hand" She said, rolling up his sleeve. She gasped. His shoulder was dark purple. They walked over to see what all that commotion was about.

"Is that what I think it is?" Petra asked, wide eyed. "Have you been to the nether lately?"

"Yeah, was heading over to Redstonia for some more rebuilding and a wither skeleton struck me in the arm." He responded.

"That's wither sickness." Petra blurted out

Olivia gasped again. "I read that if a wither skeleton were to hit someone, they'd be infected with the sickness. It's consequences could be dire. And...It's contagious." (For all you non-minecrafters, it really isn't) They backed up 4 steps.

"Can't it go away?" Jesse asked

"Yes but only if you're really lucky." Olivia replied

"What about milk? It can get rid of any effect, right?" Axel asked

"Well, because this effect isn't a potion effect, it can't be cured with milk." Olivia said (For all you non-minecrafters, it really can)

"Can't we just go to the nether and kill the wither skeleton that affected him? It worked with" Lukas asked

"We can try to do that,but it would be also be almost impossible to locate the exact one that attacked you." Olivia replied (For all you non-minecrafters, it really can't)

"Well what can we do?" Petra asked

"We could sit this one out" Axel suggested. Everyone looked at him like he was crazy

"OR we could ask Ivor. Isn't he good with potions?" Jesse asked.

"I guess that's a good idea." Lukas asked. "I'll wait here then"

"No you're coming with. That's less pain for all of us." Petra said

"Alright then. Off on another adventure." Jesse said. "Oh and Lukas, try to stay at least 5 blocks from anything. Ok?"

"Ok?" He said unsure

In Ivor's lab, he was nowhere to be found. There were only 2 places he could be. Sorens Fortress or the far lands. Only one way to find out.

They left town. It was getting dark. Dark means monsters.

Monsters surrounded them as they fought off the last few. Jesse stuck one, but a sheering pain in her wrist caused he to let go of her sword. Jesse fell on ber knees. The sword impailed a zombie, then two skeletons and another zombie, Which then impailed a skeleton which was standing beside a tree.

"Nice shot" Petra said, helping her up. She gave her a high five along with the others, holding her wrist.

Curious of what was going on, Jesse moved her hand and noticed a purple hue on he wrist. Her eyes wider than ever.

"What's wrong?" Olivia asked. "You look like you've seen a ghost."

Jesse showed them her wrist. The others gasped. They couldn't believe what they were seeing. That'd mean, they were also infected. They were then met by a thud. (Get ready and try not to freak out)

They turned around to see Lukas had fallen over in pain. They ran over to him. "I forgot to mention...Wither from Wither Skeletons spreads awfully fast" Olivia said.

"Guys. You've all been great friends. All of you. Sorry I'm not able to keep the group whole. But you-" He poofed into his inventory.

"Guys, Lukas has only been on infected for a few hours right? Does that mean..." Petra trailed off

Gonna leave you guys in an uncomfortable place...hehehe
