We got to Champion City, and honestly, if the leader wasn't as bad as Petra's saying she is, I would've considered living here. Most of the buildings were made of quartz, and I swear I saw stained glass (Light blue or cyan, I couldn't tell.) Seemed like even Lluna didn't want to see her. Poor llama.

"This is it." Petra said. "Champion City." I'm fairly sure we all knew that from the looks of this place. For some reason, I couldn't stop looking at the llama statue. Was it made of quartz too? What was the scarf made of, wool? Probably.

Oh wait.

If Stella does what I think she is, I will... actually, I can't think of any intimidating threats to make. But just know, it will be the definition of tragedy.

"Every single one of those apartments up there is exactly the same." They sure look the exact same, ecept the ones at the top, which are literally one block wider. That's what she calls 'Diamond Class Apartments?' Really? "Stella is... strict about how things look around here." I think what my redhead friend meant to say is "Stella is very controlling and forces her people to do her bidding and keep the place looking nice." Because that's what I would've said.

"If it's really 'Champion City' then where are all the Champions, huh?" Maybe there are none, and she calls it that because she herself is the only 'champion' there. If forcing everyone to do stuff for her can be counted as being a champion, yeah. "More like llama city." And that's why everything is made of quartz, it matches Lluna's fur. As for the purple and magenta on her scarf, where are those colors?

Lluna didn't seem pleased at this comment, neither did Petra. "Uh, yeah. Good one..." I mentally facepalmed.


So, Jesse was exploring Champion City, Petra was waiting on him and making sure Lluna didn't run away, and I was reading a book that somehow made it's way into my inventory. Well, trying to read it. It was more of historical, all aout elemental magic and stuff that I was interested in (No, not supernatural stuff, that's not all I'm into.) I had tried to find the chapter on darkness magic, but all the pages were ripped out. The same thing with the light chapter. Now, I knew for sure about four of them, those being me, Alexa, Ivy and whoever light was. The others fascinated me though. Fire, Ice, and Air. Whoever controled them, I hadn't heard of yet. I would have to figure that out someday. (Totally not foreshadowing anything in Broken Promises or Last Hope... nope, definitely not.)

The courtyard, according to Petra, is where Stella has her 'office hours'. When we got in there, we were met with a huge crowd. Stella was handing out puppies to everyone, her guards at her side. Petra groaned. "Ugh, there's Stella." She said, pointing. "Yes that's right! Puppies for everyone! No shoving now, we're not Beacontowners." She laughed, offending our entire crew, myself included. "You two have probably put this together by now, but Stella's pretty fond of herself... I would play to her ego." Yeah, we've put it together, and who says we have to play to her ego?

We actually had to push through the crowd to get to her. She was talking to someone about a puppy they wanted, for a price apparently.

We did eventually reach Stella, who noticed us immediately. I wasn't sure about the look she was sending our way.

"Ohhh, Lluna my darling! You came home! You came back!" And then she was all in her llama's face. She didn't seem all that excited she was back, but din't seem too mad either. "Ah, Rodrigo? Could you bring Lluna home please?" She ordered. Her guard, 'Rodrigo' apparently, followed his orders and bought her home. She gave us one last sad look before walking away. "There's a good girl." She whispered to herself. "Stella?" Jesse caught her attention. "Oh, look who it is! Jesse! Leader of Beacontown! And my sworn rival..." Oh my God... Really Stella? Jesse looked over to Petra. "I've never met her before, right?" Nope. Otherwise I would've known about it from my extensive knowledge on Minecraft and Story Mode. "No..." Petra whispered, shaking her head. "Our rivalry? Beacontown vs. Champion City?" She asked, as if this was an obvious fact. "Surely you think about it as much as I do." No, because he's never met you in his life.

"Yes, that's right 'my rival'. I am here to finally meet face to face." I knew he was going to play along, but did he have to say it like that? "Yeah. That's what I thought." He. Is. NOT. Your Rival! I wanted to say it, yell it at her for all I care, but something was stopping me.

The gauntlet decided that now was the perfect time to whisper Jesse's name, and although Stella looked like she heard it, she didn't. "I love the glove by the way. Absolutely darling." Is she just saying that or does she mean it? 'Cause if she's just saying it just to say it, she made sure it wasn't too noticeable. "You wouldn't be interested in trading would you?" He can't...? "Got some fine puppies here." She held one right in his face. I want one! "Just a puppy for this? That's a terrible trade." Awww, I wanted one... "Rude. I just thought I'd offer." She didn't sound that offended though.

Then, one of her guards threw the puppy she had just offered to Jesse. At least some random citizen caught it, otherwise Stella and the guard that threw the puppy would have a horrible time around me for the next two episodes.

"Heard you needed a new pet."

What did she just say? WHAT DID SHE JUST SAY?! Excuse me, but Stella needs to be punished. First she throws a puppy, then she RUBS RUEBEN'S DEATH IN HIS FACE AND DOESN'T SHOW ANY REMORSE FOR THE TWO, NOT ONE, TWO OFFENCES SHE JUST COMMITED TO THEM. I KNOW I'M PROBABLY GOING ON A RANT HERE, BUT SHE NEEDS TO LEARN TO SHOW SOME RESPECT!

Thankfully, her rant about how Stella needed to be punished (She did though) wasn't too long.

Before either me or Jesse could teach her a lesson about respect (Which would've involved a lot of fist to face), Petra interrupted us. "Okay, hold it." What, the conversation, or the urge to just punch Stella right then and there?

"Oh, Petra!" Stella noticed her for the first time, even though I am fairly sure she was looking at her the whole time. "You're here too. I almost thought Lluna just came back on her own." No you didn't. I'm certain that Lluna would never come back on her own to you. Or anyone like you for that matter. "What do I owe you...? A puppy?" I would trade for a puppy, I mean, they're so cute... "No. That wasn't-" Stella cut her of before Petra could finish her sentence.

"A diamond maybe?"

"No! I-"

"An emerald? Don't push TOO hard now."

Finally, I had enough and decided to stop the argument. "Don't make me get tough here, Stella. You know what Petra wants. We're not leaving without that sword." I wasn't entirely sure of what I was saying, I was mostly copying Jesse' line.

"Wait, is this about...?" She finally realized. "Oh Petra. Oh sweetie no." Excuse me? Sweetie? "I was very clear. I make trades for treasures." And Petra's sword is a treasure! To her anyways... She turned to the guard, though I don't think that's the one who threw a puppy earlier. "I think I'm all done here." She said.

Petra yelled to her. "You said you just wanted to 'display it!' I thought I could still use it!" Stella turned to us. "Ohh no. Honey. No." What is it with the 'sweetie' and the 'honey?' "You wanted to become my champion. You came to ME, remember?" Is this going where I think this is going? "In exchange you got to live HERE instead of Beacontown." What?! "Isn't that nice?" No! It isn't!

Jesse had turned his glare onto Petra, although it was clear he was hiding his hurt.

"When exactly were you going to tell me about this?" He asked. "Petra... I started, but trailed off. "Soon... I swear." But something about the swear felt off, like she wasn't really going to talk to him about it for a long time, since this was revealed on accident.

"Well I think it's about time I go back to my treasure hall, Jesse. By the way? WAY nicer than yours." And then she walked off, giving one last comment. 'Do you three know the way out? What am I saying? Of course Petra does!"

"If you ever want a place in Champion City, just ask!" Okay, we won't remember that.

"Like I said, she's the worst." You live in her town! "I can see that." Very clearly. "I'm not letting her get away with this - We're getting even." Yeah, exactly. "Hey. I'll just settle for getting my sword back." What did you think he was going to do? Kill her?


Okay, I know it was wrong to time jump that part, but Legend's tired right now, and she wants to get out of Champion City this chapter, so we're going to save time by time jumping out of here.

We had gotten Petra's sword back from Stella, and now we were heading towards Jack's shop, though for me, reluctantly. (If you guys didn't notice, Jack is my least favorite character in the game.)

"Thank you so much for your help. I know it got a little weird back there... I appreciate you two still helping me anyway." No problem, just friends being friends. (And in Jesse's case, boyfriend helping girlfriend ;)

"Hey, it's all in the past Petra. Just happy to reunite you with your favorite deadly weapon." Favorite? Despite what happened in episode six (I shuddered just thinking about it), I guess my favorite deadly weapon was an axe.

"Ohhh and it feels so good." Bet.

The gauntlet kept up it's creepy whispering, this time followed by the covered up heckmouth exploding, spitting out charged creepers.

"Sign didn't stop that." No kidding.

"Or those..." I pointed out the creepers.

"Woah, that's a lot of creepers..." Yeah, but nothing we can't handle. "And they're charged?! That should be impossible!" It's not even raining! "Tell THEM that!" We set off to fight them.


Again, I'm sorry.

So after that Notch-awful experience, we had to cover it up again. Then, after we did that, we were on our way to Beacontown.

So there we were, running through the gates.

"Welcome to Bad Luck Alley." Why's it called that? "I didn't think people came down here at night." Well, maybe that's why it's called Bad Luck Alley. Well, yeah, it's the cool part." Cool part? Okay then. "What's that supposed to mean?" Jesse asked as we followed her down the alley. "Aw you know. These are the people that like to live... off the grid. Outside the rules. And you're kinda 'The Boss.'" And I know someone who has a name quite like the person I hate who would love to have a word with you... "You still hang out with me though." "Well, yeah, but that's because I knew you when you were still just a nerd in a treehouse." Oh no, here comes the meme. "Don't take it personally, dude." He won't Petra.

When we arrived at the shop, I almost refused to come in, but decided to anyway. Jesse and Petra explored the shop after Petra began to fangirl, while I pressed a button I found under a sign that said 'Press for service.' They were done exploring and came to check it out. For a while, nothing happened, until...

"Welcome to Jack and Nurm's adventure emporium."
