Jesse went wide eyed as Rueben raced by him, making odd snuffling sounds as his hooves clicked against the rock."Rueben. wait!" He ran after his pig, following him outside.

Rueben froze when he saw the three Wither storms in the distance, his brown eyes widened in horror. The boy stopped beside the micropig, staring at the monsters as well."Don't run off on me like that, okay?" He kneeled beside Rueben, looking at him.

Rueben oinked, looking at him with an unhappy look.

"I know you've run off before, but things have changed." Jesse stood up, looking at the Witherstorms nervously."But I don't wanna lose you like I did my father..." His voice cracked, and the pig nuzzled his owner's leg.

"The world needs us, Rueben." Jesse said softly, his violet blue eyes returning to his pig."So much of it has been reduced to bedrock, and it's up to us to save the rest of it." Rueben oinked something, and he nodded in agreement, seemingly able to understand the pig."Well, maybe that is a lot of pressure for just a person and a pig," His eyes glowed with determination as he spoke these next words."but we have to find a way."

"That's what I said, isn't it?" A voice cut off whatever would've been said next.

"Just as you 'helped' us once before," Another voice said, sounding suspiciously like Soren. Jesse frowned and muttered for Rueben to stay put as he walked towards the voices.

"This isn't about the past," The first voice shouted."It's about the future!"

"There are THREE of those things now!" Soren yelled back.

"You say that like it's my fault!"

"It is your fault!"

"Oh, take responsibility for once, Soren!"

Jesse shoved aside the bushes quietly, and ducked behind a tree to avoid being seen as he eavesdropped on Ivor and Soren's argument."Soren, you need to listen to me!"

"Oh, what good has ever come of that?" Asked the ginger, who narrowed his brown eyes at the man. The boy frowned, and slipped from behind the tree, walking towards the two, Ivor's eyes widening when he saw him."Jesse? You shouldn't sneak up on people like that!"

Jesse smirked."Like you did to me in the Alley during Endercon?"

The man opened his mouth to protest against that, but paused, and closed his mouth, letting the teenager boy know he won this one.

"Ignore him, Jesse!" Said Soren."He's been following us!" Ivor narrowed his eyes.

"It's not like that!" He insisted to the boy."You need to hear me out!"

Jesse crossed his arms as Ivor began to pace back and forth."What you don't understand is that you're all in very grave danger!"

Soren then let an explosive sound at that, as if he was having a hard time responding to the brewer's words, startling both Jesse and Ivor."Obviously!" His voice was drenched in anger.

"No, I mean specifically this group!" Said Ivor."The Witherstorm isn't acting randomly, it's following Gabriel!"

"Say what?" Jesse deadpanned.

"You see..." Ivor sheepishly began, rubbing the back of his head."I may have programmed it to follow his amulet."

At his words, Jesse and Soren exchanged identical wide-eyed looks.

"You mean the Order's amulet?"

"Yes Soren. That amulet!" Ivor said.

"That's all well and good," Jesse said in a conversational voice."but Gabriel gave the amulet to me!" Jesse hissed hysterically as he reached into his pocket, pulling out the trinket that glowed in Ivor and Soren's presence, as well as Ellegaard's, although she wasn't as close.

Ivor stared at Jesse with an emotion that he wasn't aware that the man could hold: Regret.

He flinched away from Ivor in slight surprise as the brewer spoke again."I didn't know..."

This time, it was Soren's turn."Argh, Ivor, you fool!" Said Soren, gesturing to the mocha-haired boy."You created a monster that's following Jesse!" The ginger snapped angrily at his old friend."And it's only getting stronger!"

"You don't think I realize that?" Ivor snapped back."Nothing can stop those things, nothing even hurts them!"

Jesse's vlue eyes lit up as he remembered something not too long ago."Except Endermen!"

"Huh?" The brewer looked dumbfounded as Soren gasped at that."Yes! You're right! The Wither's gaze passed over them... and they went wild. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes..."

"Trouble is, we've have a few run-in's with Endermen," Jesse pointed out."They're bad news."

"Not necessarily." Soren said thoughtfully, and Ivor still stared at them blankly. The ginger continued."Enough of them, working together, might ignore us and destroy a Witherstorm entirely!"

The man then began to pace, not looking up to see Ivor slowly nodding, finally grasping the meaning."It's a promising concept, at least in theory. If I'm seeing all the pieces clearly..."

"Could you coordinate the Endermen somehow?" Asked Jesse quirking his eyebrows curiously."Make them attack all at once?"

"If I know my Endermen," said Soren, still pacing in a tight circle."All we need to do is get them into the Storm's vicinity. In fact, there's probably more than enough of them still in my fortress..." Jesse blinked, exchanging a look with Ivor as the man finally stopped pacing, looking at Jesse."An unintended side effect of you flooding the End."

"This is just like the old days, Soren." said Ivor, meaning to be joking."You and your crazy ideas-"

"Hush, Ivor, for once!" snapped Soren, getting in the others face. Ivor flinched back, looking at leader of the Order with a startled expression.

"The question is," Soren continued as he walked away, composing himself quickly."How do we bring the Storms and the Endermen together? Endermen aren't pets; they don't follow orders. At least, not from mere mortals..."

"We know for a fact that the Witherstorms will follow the amulet." Jesse pointed out."So if we take it the amulet back to your fortress where the Endermen are..."

"Yes." Soren's eyes widened."Yes, that's it! We'll lead them straight into a massive trap!"

"If we can't bring the Endermen to the Witherstorms," said Jesse, spreading his arms out with a wide grin."Then we take the Witherstorms to the Endermen!"

"Just one problem." Ivor said, making both look at him."You're forgetting about the Command Block."

Soren scowled."Oh, yes. It's clear now that no weapon can destroy it, not even a Formidi-Bomb."

Ivor brushed his fingers over his beard."Actually, I... may have a solution to that." Jesse grinned, waiting for the brewer to continue."You see, when I first took possession of the Command Block-"

"You mean stole it." Interupted Soren.

"Yes, well, I created a failsafe." He shifted his weight from foot to foot."A backup plan, for just in case."

"Well, I'd say 'just in case' is here!" said Soren.

Ivor nodded his agreement."And I'm inclined to agree."

"What kind of 'failsafe,' exactly?" Jesse asked, not even blinking when Soren walked beside him.

"An enchanting book." explained Ivor, "One that contains the power of the Command Block itself." Soren and Jesse's eyes widened simultaneously, staring at Ivor's back as he turned to look at the oncoming Withers."Use it to enchant a weapon... and you'll be able to smash the Command Block to bits. Forever."

"Yes..." Said Soren."Yes, that's it!" He looked at Jesse, who looked relieved, with a wild grin."It could very well solve all our problems!"

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go get that book!"

"Just one problem." Ivor said as he turned to them."It's at my secret lab... which is... sort of far away."

Ivor winced at Jesse's deadpanned voice."What?"

"Well, very far away, actually. Incredibly, impossibly far away."

"How far could it possible be?" The brunette boy sighed, rubbing his temple in frustration.

"Let's just say it's the farthest place a person can travel before being utterly-" A roar cut him off, accompanied by the sky flashing purple behind them.

"What was that?" Soren asked in confusion, running off to investigate, with Jesse and Ivor on his heels.

They all came to a stop near Rueben, who was still waiting, staring gape-jawed at the horizon.

The Witherstorms were bigger already, the vast one being flanked by its smaller peers, three rectangular heads thrashing, sending their lights flashing in all directions, sucking up whatever the light fell on. They were getting uncomfortably close. It was as if they knew what they were planning... where they were going.

Jesse sucked in a breath at the sight.

"Oh my Notch.."

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand cut!

Wooop woop, da da da woop woop!

Finally moving things on again! YAY!
