This is where it all ends for Episode 6! But there will be a chapter, maybe two, that acts as a midlogue. So….

Let the chapter commence!

Lukas, Ivor, Petra, and Jesse took the first steps outside. Lizzie, Stacy, Sparklez, and Stampy followed after the four. Ivor took a deep breath.

"Ah! I've never been so happy to smell rotting flesh." the Potion Master laughs, clearly satisfied that they were all out of the house at long last.

"Yeah, that is- yikes, that is pretty rank." Jesse added, and Lukas turned around to face her. She was looking to Petra, though, who was staring down at her stomach while holding it with a hand. Now that all the chaos was out of the way… Lukas could notice a small bump poking through the armor. Man… She'd have to raise the kid alone. Of course, Lukas and Jesse would help her.

"How many months so far?" Lukas asks, walking up to his late brother's fiancee. Jesse joined him at her side.

"Two and a half. Probably three." Petra shrugs, glancing up at him. "This is probably a lot to ask, but, well, I've been an orphan most of my life. I don't know how to raise a kid."

"And you want us to help?" Jesse asks for her, raising an eyebrow. Petra nodded hesitantly, hoping they would help, even though the kid wasn't theirs.

"Ah, nope. Not me. I've babysat a kid before, it did not go well." Ivor shook his head, making Lukas laugh a little. The blond turned back to Petra.

"Of course I'll help, Petra. I'm the kid's uncle, remember?" Lukas crossed his arms with a raised eyebrow and a small smirk. Petra stepped forward and wrapped her arms around both Jesse and Lukas in a hug.

"I'm gonna miss Liam and Nath…" she sighs, shaking her head.

"We all will, Petra. Those two were awesome people." Sparklez grins.

"Well, while they lasted…" Stacy muttered. Lizzie nudged her friend, while Petra pulled away from her friends and they all went down the stairs to the sweet, sweet soil.

"I'm just glad we stopped Cassie." Jesse spoke. "She's got four good people; Liam, Nath, TorqueDawg, and Dan."

"Well, five, including herself. When she wasn't the White Pumpkin, she was a sister to me." Sparklez sighs, shaking his head. "Cassie was a great friend- I didn't expect her to turn out the way she did."

"But lucky for us- That portal brought you all here to help. If it weren't for you, we would probably be dead now." Lizzie spoke, visibly grateful.

"Yeah, I agree. Thanks." Stacy gave the group a small smile.

"But, speaking of portals… I have no idea how to begin finding our exit portal." Ivor spoke up, hands on his waist while he looked at Jesse.

"Well, Cassie said it was right under her nose, right?" Stampy asks, deciding to give a helping hand. Hey, they helped him in his time of need. He should give back.

"That's true." Jesse recalled to when Cassie broke after Stampy's (rather clever) decision to yank out the flint and steel to confess. "Maybe it's somewhere nearby…"

"Well, I'm just taking a wild guess, but is that it?" Sparklez pointed out into the distance where a golden skull portal stood.

"Well, what do you know, there it is!" Jesse laughs, as Lukas pat Sparklez's back. The morning dew got some of the friends' shoes wet, but they didn't care that their shoes were wet. All they cared was that they had made it out alive to carry on the memory of their friends who didn't.

Liam and Nath were still hanging around until they heard doors opening and closing, way far down the bottomless pit.

"Well, this tower looks weird. How long could it have been here?" a familiar voice questioned.

"I don't know- do you think it could be that temple?" a panicked voice exclaimed, half from fear and half from excitement.

"No, there would be puzzles. Like, extremely hard ones, not some little 'flip this lever' type of thing." Voices kept ringing out, echoing. Liam's eyes widened and he made the wide-eye contact with Nath before calling down to where the voices were.

"Sparklez?! Stampy?! You all down there?!" Liam shouted, his own voice echoing like a cold front on a warmer one. He grunted again, wiggling to get out of the bound that was restricting him. If they got out… then that means my friends got out!

"Woah, did you hear that?" This time, it was Lizzie who had spoke. Apparently, she thought they were still dead.

"That sounded like Liam." Stacy added, and Liam groaned.

"It is me-" Liam began, yet Stampy stopped him, as usual.

"But it can't be, Liam's-" Stampy began, but he was cut off by the sound of a lever clicking and lights flickering on. The lights were covered, but pistons, activated by the lever, moved the stone away to illuminate the tower. "-dead…" Stampy trailed, looking up to find Liam and Nath just hanging around.

"Think again, Cat!" Nath called, looking around the now illuminated tower. There was no place for them to land safely.

"What- How-" Sparklez began, but Lizzie asked the question for him.

"How are you two still alive? We saw you die!" Lizzie stepped foward a little.

"How 'bout we explain that after we get down from here with your help, huh?" Nath replied, wiggling again. Liam noticed the group of friends looking at one another before huddling up, making a plan. They took a few moments to brainstorm and a few more to assign roles to get their friends from the high place.

"Alright, go go go!" Sparklez declared, his voice echoing again and again. Stampy and Lizzie had gone outside while Stacy and Sparklez began to dig. It took a bit of a while, but the four eventually got a pool of water installed underneath where Nath and Liam were still dangling. CaptainSparklez used the dirt from digging the pool to make a tower, just barely enough to reach the duo.

"Sparklez, where are they?" Liam asks, "Are they okay? Did anyone else die? Did you catch the White Pumpkin?" The blond was unleashing a fury of questions right at him, making Sparklez give Nath a questioning look. The redhead only shrugged. Sparklez sighs, waiting for him to stop to let him down. Not like that. No.

"Don't worry, Liam. Your brother, girlfriend, unborn child, and two friends are all okay. They probably headed through the portal already. I hope you might be able to catch up to them before they jump somewhere else…" Sparklez reassured when Liam finally did stop. Liam sighs in relief.

"Thanks." he nods, looking down into the pool below. "So, how are we going to do this?"

"Okay, just dive into the water feet first. Stampy's down there to free you from your binds." Sparklez answered, pulling out a sword that he had taken from the mansion.

"One at a time, right?" Liam asks, as Sparklez raised his sword.

"One at a time. Now stop asking questions. My ears are gonna fall off." Sparklez joked, making Liam do so much as chuckle. "On three, alright?" Liam nodded, looking back down at the small pond they had made. "One… Two… Three!" Sparklez swung the sword and it cut clean through the lead holding him up. Liam began to fall, watching as the small body of water came closer and closer before diving into it, feet first just as Sparklez had instructed. He was under for a few seconds, staying still so Stampy could cut the bonds completely. The blond felt his arms go free and then his hands, before being helped to the surface. Liam groaned, finally rolling onto sweet, sweet land with Lizzie and Stacy's help. His arms felt weak and so did his legs; they both fell asleep while he was being hung up there. He heard the splash of Nath's fall moments later and felt the small kid roll onto land next to him shortly after. Liam felt it was about time to get up, and he rolls onto his stomach, pushing himself up onto all fours until he finally could walk right. After hours for being strung up like a puppet, he lost almost all feeling in his legs, but they were back.

"Come on, Nath." he bade.

"I can't feel anything." Nath deadpanned.

"Do I gotta carry you again?"

"No, I just.. Need a minute. Maybe two." Nath mumbled out, before Liam sighs, kneeling down next to the kiddo. He hoped they wouldn't get real far. Nath slowly got onto all fours, holding his head. "Man, my head hurts…" he groaned, still on all fours.

"Is he alright?" Stampy asks, kneeling down on Nath's other side.

"Yeah, he's fine. Just a bit dizzy from hanging around." Liam answered with a nod.

"The others and I, we best be leaving now, though. We've got friends to go home to. They'd be wondering where we are." Sparklez jabbed his thumb at the door. Liam gave his friends a smile.

"Thank you. We wouldn't've made it out of here if it weren't for you."

"Well, thank Dan, actually. He said that he wanted to check this place out on the way home, but since he never got to, we decided to do it for him." Lizzie smiles, making Stampy frown a little.

"Stampy? Everything alright?" Liam questioned. He wasn't there a majority of the time...

"I stole the flint and steel from Dan. It was supposed to be a harmless little prank, but he's- he's gone because of it." Stampy confessed with a sigh.

"Well, travel the worlds for him, alright? You can always tell him all about them when you get home." Nath finally managed to stand on his two feet, wobbling a little, but keeping himself upright.

"Wise words. I suggest you take them, Stampy." Stacy chuckles at the tears in Sparklez's eyes. The words reached to him on a rather personal level.

"We all will." Lizzie gave Liam a smile. "It was a pleasure to meet you."

"The same goes for you all." Liam bade, leading Nath out with the others before the two began to part. "Oh!" He exclaimed. "Hold up!" he called out to the others, leaving Nath in his spot.

"Yeah?" Stampy raised an eyebrow as the group of four turn to look at him.

"This may be a little early, but I'm sure Petra would like it too, but- Would you guys like to come to the wedding?" He asks, and that just immediately brightened Sparklez up a little.

"Really?"

"Yeah. As soon as we get home, I'll come back to give you the invitations." Liam nods, looking across the group.

"You sure Petra wouldn't mind us coming?"

"I'm positive, Lizzie. I mean, you and Stacy helped her through it as a pregnant woman, right?"

"Well, a little bit, when Jesse or Lukas or Ivor weren't around." Stacy answered.

"Exactly. I'll see you real soon?"

"Bye!" Liam bade, turning around to run back to the house, and he gave a small grin down at Nath. "Come on, kid."

"That's Netherrack, Jesse! It stays on fire forever!" Liam heard the White Pumpkin's voice boom. He knew that no one could see him or Nath from where they were. Petra, Lukas, and Ivor were bound in lead, unable to help in any way. Liam finally peeked around the corner, noticing a wall of fire separating Jesse and the White Pumpkin. "Well, Winslow." the White Pumpkin turned, and Liam jumped back and away. He made a motion to Nath to climb above while the White Pumpkin continued to talk. He knew it was Cassie, but the voice… Liam shook the thoughts from his head.

"Hey!" Jesse called with determination. She wasn't going down like this.

"What?"

"Don't you know?" Nath asks, surprising the group. The White Pumpkin looked around for the kiddo, who landed right in front of Jesse with a massive leap. He distinguished the fire easily before speaking his next words. "Hay is for horses." Nath smirked up at Jesse.

"Nath?!" Lukas asks, straining his neck to see the redhead.

"What the- How are you still alive?!" Ivor questioned.

"The same way Liam is!" Nath replied, and just like that, the White Pumpkin turned around to find Liam's fist in her face. It knocked her out easily.

"Ba-boom." Liam teabagged the unconscious White Pumpkin, before going over to free his friends. As soon as he got to Petra to free her first, he noticed the wide grin spread across her face.

"Y-Y-You're alive…" she breathed shakily, and Liam got the lead off of her. As soon as she was freed, she wrung her arms around his neck, burying her face into it's crook. "I-I-I…"

"Shh, Petra… It's alright, now…" he bade within a whisper, rubbing her back in circles.

"I thought I would have to raise a kid alone…" she mumbled into his ear, and Liam chuckles, pulling away a little. He kept his arms around her waist and his forehead on hers. Her hands resided on his shoulders while Nath released Ivor and Lukas from their own bonds.

"You would never be alone, Petra. I'm always going to come back, one way or another." He promised her, before Petra cupped his cheeks and yanked him in for a kiss. It lasted for a few seconds until Liam had to pull away, for there was a kid in the room. Speaking of which.. Liam looked around to find Nath and Lukas standing off to the side. He made eye contact with his brother, and stood, helping Petra up with him. Nath ran forward to give his soon-to-be adoptive mother a hug. Liam laughs a little at the kiddo, while making his way to his brother. "Hey, bud." he greeted, before Lukas jumped towards him in a hug.

"Don't scare me- don't scare us like that again." Lukas spoke, shaking his head as Liam hugged his brother back.

"I can't promise that, but I can try." Liam laughs, before Lukas pulled away. Liam noticed the White Pumpkin stirring, coming to at last. Nath looked up at Liam from Petra's arms and raised an eyebrow. "Go ahead." Liam chuckles at the boy, and Nath went nearby Cassie, waiting til she stood to do what he had wanted. When she did make it onto her feet at last, Nath used his powers to blow her off of the platform and onto the smaller one above the Endermites that almost would've killed Ivor, Lukas, Jesse, Petra, and an unborn child.

"Serves her right, I say!" Ivor laughs, and Jesse came back with the blue flint and steel. Liam looked over the edge to find Cassie wriggling out of her mask. Winslow jumped up onto Nath's shoulder. Jesse turned around and led the way to the portal. Cassie shouted after them, but they just decided to ignore her and move on, try to find their way home.

"Wow. So she kept the real portal hidden down here." Jesse spoke, as Petra took Liam's hand.

"Well, unless this one is a trap too." Liam added, making Petra giggle.

"I don't know if she'd be that paranoid." Lukas shook his head, resting his hand on his waist.

"There's only one way to find out, though." Jesse pulled out the flint and steel as she walked towards the portal. The brunette got down on one knee and lit the portal. A shockwave echoed across the room, and Liam could feel it's blast. Instead of the blue glow like with the Sky City portal, it gave a green glow.

"All good signs so far." Ivor declared, giving Jesse a grin and an approving nod. Nath picked up Winslow off of his shoulder and dropped the cat onto the ground.

"Yeah." Petra looked around. "No trick floors or arrows or anything." she added, still holding onto Liam's hand.

"Who's going first?" Lukas asks, looking at them all.

"Come on, Lukas, we're a team. We all go together." Jesse put away the flint and steel held a hand out to him. Lukas gladly took it.

"One…"

"Two…"

"Three!"

And they entered the portal all together.

Little did they know that Winslow liked Nath more than he had thought.

And that finishes off Episode 6! Gosh, that was a long one! What do you all think of the ending? Did I do good? Could I have done something to improve it? Let me know in the reviews!

The midlogue is up next- there's a possibility that it will only be one chapter and rather short, but I plan to make you all get some of the feels. :) Right after that, we will be jumping into Episode 7.

I'm having so much fun with this story! I hope you're all enjoying reading it!

And, as a little side note, Lukas and Jesse have not yet OFFICIALLY announced it- they've given very obvious hints, though, but they never actually announced it.

Any predictions for the midlogue, though? Let me know in the reviews what you think!

Thank you all so much for enjoying this chapter, and I will see YOU… in the next one…

CIAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
