The minecarts rattled along the track, Axel's cheer resounding in the air. "Woo-hoo!" he cheered.

Jesse glanced back at her friend, adjusting the cloak. It was a very nice cloak, but in a place comprised mostly of fire, lava, and other things that could burn you to death, it was hot as all hell in there.

"Aw, come on, Jesse, you're not even having a little fun? I mean, I am!"

Jesse chuckled and rolled her eyes. "Axel, your idea of fun is a tad bit different than mine. Besides, we need to get to Magnus as soon as freaking possible."

Axel nodded, still grinning. "Yeah. You're right. We're gonna find Magnus, bring him back to the temple, and he'll know how to blow that thing sky high!"

The two of them grinned at each other, before Axel's eyes moved up and he sucked in a huge breath. "Um... Jesse?"

Jesse twisted back around and felt her mouth drop open. Right before them was a rather angry ghast. And they were headed right towards it.

"... well crap," Jesse had enough time to state, before a fireball flew at the carts and sent them flying off the tracks, all three of them soaring into the air and towards a large body of lava-

Jesse shot a strand of silk, catching a ledge, and she swung into Axel, who grabbed Reuben, and all of three of them slammed full-force into the stone thing, which Jesse was fairly certain was called netherrack. The three of them clambered to their feet, their hearts all pounding. "Whew, thanks Jesse," Axel thanked his friend.

"No problem. Hide!" And Jesse yanked the burly male behind a pile of netherrack as a fireball barely missed him and plowed into the ground. Panting, they looked at each other, then back at the minecarts- which was about to fall into the lava below.

Jesse said something very softly that should not be repeated.

"Hurry," Axel said urgently, "use something on that ghast!"

Jesse flicked out her sword, just as another fireball blasted through the netherrack they'd taken refuge behind.

Screaming, they scattered, Axel sprinting for the minecarts and Jesse whipping around to face the ghast. A fireball came right at her, and she flicked the blade sharply and sent the fireball flying right back at the ghast, injuring it.

It shot another one and Jesse was forced to use her string-move again to rappel her out of the way as it came far too low for her to properly hit. Hanging from a ledge rather high up, Jesse flipped so that she was upside down- for some reason, she felt rather comfortable in that position. She wasn't a bat!- and swung the sword as hard as she could as the ghast fired at her again.

The fireball glanced off the blade and rebounded at the ghast, which flashed red and fell to it's side, vanishing in a flash of smoke.

Axel grinned up at Jesse as he pulled the minecarts back up, and Jesse let herself down, flipping over and letting the cloak fall back over her arms as though she'd done it a thousand times before.

"Well aren't you the expert," Axel teased, "Miss Fancy Flipper."

Jesse bowed sarcastically, bending at the waist. "Thank you, Sergeant Sarcasm," she teased back, before the two of them laughed. Reuben bounded over to Jesse and she patted him gently on the head. "Okay, let's get going!"

Axel hopped into the front, and Jesse leaped into the middle cart with Reuben in the back just as the minecarts took off again. "You were awesome, seriously. With that ghast, and chasing the minecart... this is the perfect warmup for when we get to Boom Town!"

Jesse probably should've been shocked by the name, but when discovering that you were apparently a hybrid that had Spider-man powers, and your friends were also hybrids, it's kind of hard to get shocked. So she just raised an eyebrow. "Boom Town."

"Yeah! Boom Town!"

They passed a sign with rainbow letters that read !BoOmtoWn!

Jesse glanced at the sign. "That sign is making my inner grammar nerd rise," she joked, making Axel snicker again.

The minecarts finally came to a stop, another portal with a rainbow, badly written sign next to it. "This is it!" Axel said, practically dancing with excitement. Jesse rolled her eyes at her friend, but still smiled at him.

Stopping just in front of the portal, Jesse arched her eyebrow at Axel. "Well? Ready to go in? You could probably get away with exploding, Axel. You know, as a creeper."

Axel's face developed a thoughtful look. "Hmm, only in an emergency."

"That seems fine. Same with my SpiderJesse abilities," she joked a bit, and the two of them giggled again.

Jesse stepped forward into the portal with Reuben, feeling icy heat tingle over her skin, before suddenly the ground beneath her went missing. "What in the-?!"

She toppled forward, did a parkour roll, and landed on her butt, blinking. She turned to see that the portal was the one of the 'O's of a sign that read 'Boom Town', but it was one of the 'o's of the 'Boom' which was suspended in the air.

Well that certainly explained it.

Axel stepped through and fell, screaming, to the ground. He flashed white in shock, and Jesse and Reuben let out a shriek (for Reuben that was a loud squeal) and furiously backpedaled, as the explosion went off. Axel went flying through the air, did a 360, and sprawled on the ground a little ways in front of Jesse.

Jesse winced and went over to him. "Oh, jeez, you okay?"

"Yeah. I guess in a pinch my explosion can also be used as a cushion," Axel groaned, face in the dirt.

Jesse helped him up, brushing some of the dirt off his face and hoodie. "Well that was certainly an... interesting entrance," Jesse mumbled, swatting off some more dirt.

"Yep," Axel agreed, stepping forward, before they heard a click. They looked down to see that Axel had just stepped on a wire.

"... crap."

The ground below them blew up, sending them forwards with screams. Jesse clambered to her feet, another explosion going off next to her, and she and Axel got to their feet again and started running, more explosions exploding and forcing the three of them to dodge and duck. Jesse nearly ran right into one and ran left, only for a griefer holding TNT to appear around the corner with a loud cackle.

Jesse let out a yelp and used her string abilities, rappeling out of the way as the griefer charged, the TNT going off and taking the griefer with it.

Jesse winced. "This place is insane. And good for exercise," she mumbled, rubbing her head.
