Magnus and Lukas continued through the dark cave, on edge. Nothing was really said after the whole thing with the spider and so forth.
Until they heard an odd noise, it was sorta familiar, almost...
"Do you hear that?" Lukas said, weirded out by the noise being made.
"Sounds like cats." Magnus stated. "Why would cats be hanging out in a secret lair?"
"Beats me." Lukas said. He turned around a corner to peek and...
The White Pumpkin stood there, staring with, empty eyes?
Didn't matter, Lukas's reflexes kicked in, and he decked the White Pumpkin in the jaw.
Only for White Pumpkin's head to roll straight off.
"It's just a stand? Why would they put it there?" Lukas said thoughtfully.
"Forget his tactics," Magnus said. "Look at that."
Lukas looked past the knocked over stand, and saw some sort of...growing station?
"So he grows his masks?" Magnus said shuddering as a pumpkin grew right infront of their eyes. "Euggh, I don't think I'd want a fresh pumpkin shoved on my head."
His thought process was cut off as soon as he heard what sounded like shoes scraping against the stone flooring.
"It's the White Pumpkin!" Lukas whispered.
"Dammit!" Magnus said, drawing a sword. "He must of heard us!"
Lukas squinted, but he coulda sworn he saw ears on the shadow...
They tensed, ready for the oncoming battle, and saw...
"AH!" A cat clothed man shouted.
"Stampy Cat?!"
"Boy, you gave me a fright!" Stampy said, obviously shaken. "What are you doing down here?"
"Uhhh what are we doing down here?" Magnus mocked, already suspicious of Stampy.
"Wait," Lukas said. "You're the White Pumpkin?"
Stampy shook his head. "Nope! Uh uh! Not me!"
He walked right past them, and began to start to mutter to himself.
"Come on you guys I can't be the White Pumpkin! I'm Stampy Cat! I'm no murderer!"
Magnus shot a doubtful glance at Lukas.
Calming down, he turned back around to the two.
"I was trying to find you because I have something very important to tell you!"
They cautiously put their swords away, and approached Stampy who looked nervous again.
"I have something to confess, something I haven't told ANYBODY."
He reached for something in his pockets, and pulled out...
An Enchanted Flint and Steel.
"Nnnn I stole from Dan! It was supposed to be a joke, a harmless prank! But well then... you've seen what happened!"
"Wow." Magnus said. "Didn't see that coming."
"I knew people wanted it," Stampy said, ashamed. "But I had no idea that this would happen!"
"Wow." Lukas said. "I actually didn't see this coming."
"And it's suspicious!" Magnus joined in.
"I know!" Stampy defended. "And that's why I had to keep it a secret!"
Another meow.
"I may be a thief, but I'm no killer! But the White Pumpkin is! And he's killing people for it! And now we're down in his lair!"
Stampy trudged over to the stand which sat a white pumpkin on top. "I've been thinking...maybe I should just give it to the White Pumpkin."
"Uh, come again?" Magnus said, as if he had a hearing issue.
"I just think... maybe it'll make it all stop right? Maybe?"
"I think we should figure out who he is first," Lukas said.
"I suppose..." Stampy trailed off.
Now that they were all buddy buddy, they continued into the lair, where they saw 2 metal doors, and a lever.
"That totally doesn't look like a secret lair entrance." Magnus said sarcastically.
Lukas rolled his eyes, and hit the lever.
A large room presented itself to the three, with chests, and some cats.
"That's where the meowing is coming from I guess," Magnus said as 3 cats lazily slept.
Magnus noticed a chest that just screamed "Take me" and he yanked the lid open and found ender pearls and some other stuff.
Time skip past the cat mini mission
After the cats had finally left the large chest alone, Lukas pulled out what seemed to be a normal portait.
Magnus's face scrunched up in confusion. "That's not exactly a murder weapon..."
Lukas placed it on the wall.
Only for an x'ed out portait of Petra, complete with a few orange locks that weren't in the mask. He didn't even notice it until now.
"Woah," Magnus said. "Guess this guy had these all ready to go? Talk about preperation."
Lukas nodded. He found himself and all the others who had set foot in the mansion.
Except...
"Wait a second..." Lukas said. "Someone's missing."
"Oh? Who?" Stampy said, slightly excited.
"A certain redhead who likes..." Lukas looked towards the swarm felines munching on the fish.
"Cats!"
"Cassie Rose." Lukas said solemnly.
Magnus seemed to have a doubtful posture, but relaxed. "Yeah, who else would have that many cats? I didn't like her attitude either from the start."
"Well, it would make sense," Stampy said thoughtfully. "She wasn't really with any groups, per say."
Lukas nodded. "Then let's go confront her."
Jesse still slept soundly in Petra's care, herself getting a bit sleepy, but still vigilant of any danger out there.
Everyone in the room heard footsteps coming back from the secret lair entrance, coincidentally, it was daytime when they came back.
"I'll go round everyone up!" Stampy said, and ran off into another room.
"What's going on?!" Stacy said, obviously alarmed.
"Where's Cassie Rose?"
Dan looked taken aback. "Cassie? Why do you ask?"
"Yeah," They heard a voice from the staircase.
Cassie stood there with an eyebrow raised. "What's up?"
More footsteps revealed Stampy had literally rounded the others up. "No sign of C- Oh!"
"Wait," Lukas said. "Where's the other two?"
Petra entered the room.
"Jesse's still resting up, but I'm staying by the door just in case."
She stood infront of the door, arms crossed.
The room was silent for a few moments.
"You gonna confess?" Magnus sneered.
"Or should we just tell them ourselves?" Lukas said sternly.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Cassie said a little too quickly, which Magnus noticed.
"Yeah..." Dan said. "What are you talking about?"
"Is this going," Ivor began hopefully. "Where I think this is going?"
"Cassie Rose is the White Pumpkin. The murderer." Lukas stated plainly.
Lightning flashed, spooking everyone there.
There was an awkward silence.
Dan scoffed. "That's impossible. No way, no way."
"Yeah," Cassie sneered. "I'm afraid you're going to have to do better than that."
She walked over to a table, where Winslow joined her.
"That's a pretty serious accusation," Dan said. "You got any evidence to back you up?"
"There's something I noticed," Lukas said, beginning to pace around, hand to chin.
"It was after TorqueDawg got killed by those arrows. I noticed something."
"Oh yeah? What's that?"
On cue, Lukas stared at her dead in the eyes. "You were alone with the portraits. It was just you while everyone else ran in."
"That..." Cassie stuttered. "That doesn't prove anything!"
"Well then," Lukas continued. "What about this? When we were in the White Pumpkin's Lair, we found some very interesting items... We found a chest full of portraits with X's on them for everyone except for Cassie."
Stacy gasped in excitement.
"Oh," Ivor said. "That's good."
"But, while we found the portraits, we found cats. Dozen's of cats that look just like Winslow.
"An amusing story," Cassie said, stepping infront of Winslow and blocking Lukas's view of the feline.
"If you saw these dozens of supposed cats, what color is Winslow? Shouldn't be hard to say!"
"Orange, Black, and white." Magnus cut in.
She appeared panicked for a brief second as she involuntarily backed away, revealing winslow's colors.
"Cassie..." Stacy said. "Is this all true?"
"This whole thing was about your insane scheme to get the portal key, hasn't it?" Lukas said. "Murdering innocents just for the key."
Stacy almost appeared afraid, but... her expression softened to a glare. She began clapping.
"How very clever of you. Well, I guess you all got me. I am the murderer."
Lightning flashed.
"I just don't believe all this," Stacy said in disgust.
"I know," Stampy chimed in. "I was shocked too!"
"But why?" was all Lukas could muster.
"I've been trapped in this stupid world, with it's stupid two moons, FOR YEARS. With a portal RIGHT under my nose! But no key to open it...until I heard that this world's portal key was found. I knew it was one of you. So I tried my best to earn your friendship. Figure out who had it."
"Cassie, how could you?" Dan said in disbelief.
"That doesn't excuse all the atrocities you've comitted."
"Agreed!" Magnus said.
Stacy walked up, hate burning in her eyes. "We need to do something with you, 'Cassie Rose'."
"I vote we build an obsidian prison, and surround it with lava!"
Winslow began to hiss as Cassie backed up with fear. "No no no I won't let you do that! I can't!"
She looked at Lukas. "This is your fault! You did this to me!"
"You did this to yourself Cassie." Lukas said. "We could of helped you."
Everyone began to unsheathe their weapons, and advanced towards a fearful Cassie, who pulled out her enchanted Axe.
"I'll fight each and every one of you!" Cassie said. "I'll..."
She then fell down into a trap, and was covered with sand.
"Another trap!" Stampy said as he rushed towards the sand pile. "We need to dig her out!"
"After everyone's she hurt?" Stacy questioned. "She can dig herself out."
Lukas knew that she was already dead.
"Wait," Stampy said. "Look."
An inventory worth of items sat on display for everyone to see.
"I can't believe it..." Stampy said. "She's gone."
"What a way to go," Ivor said thoughtfully.
"A truly horrendous fate." Gabriel said.
"Yikes." Was all Magnus could say on the matter.
"If only she just asked us for help," Stampy said. "All this could have been avoided."
Lukas glanced at the window. "Hey, it's morning!"
The zombies outside caught fire, and were slowly dying one by one.
"I've never been so happy to smell rotting flesh," Ivor exclaimed as they walked out the doors.
"I feel bad thinking about the people who aren't here to smell it," Dan said from behind.
"TorqueDawg, Sparkelz, Lizzie, and... Cassie I guess."
"I think they'd be glad that you're alive." Lukas said.
"You're probably right." Stampy said.
"Lucky for us, that portal brought you here to help us," Dan finished.
Ivor walked up to Dan. "Speaking of which, I have no idea on how we begin on finding our exit portal."
"Cassie said it was right under her nose right?" Stampy said.
"Then maybe it's close." Lukas said.
Coincidentally, after looking straight ahead, a portal sat there.
"Oh there it is." Gabriel said, slightly surprised.
As they walked down the stairs, Stacy turned towards them. "So...I guess this is goodbye."
"Unless you want to come visit us, heh." Lukas said.
Dan frowned. "Well we really can't portal hop without a portal key."
"I think your cat friend has you covered on that one," Magnus said icily.
Dan whipped around in Stampy's direction. "YOU stole the portal key from me?!"
"It was just meant to be a prank, a harmless prank, and I'm so very very sorry!"
"Whoever uses it just be careful," Lukas said.
"After all of this, I think I just might be done with portal hopping." Dan said.
"Yeah," Stacy said. "I'm not very good with goodbyes so I'm just gonna start walking towards home."
"Me too." Dan said.
"Byeeee!" Stampy said, and ran after them.
"What a strange bunch of individuals," Ivor thought out loud.
"Cassie whatsherface said something about being trapped here from another world. What if she was one of the old builders."
Lukas shrugged.
"Wait a second," Ivor said. "Where's Jesse?" And the other masked friend of yours?"
Lukas, alarmed, looked to the left and right, he thought of saying they should start searching around."
They heard footsteps rapidly approaching them, they turned around obviously alarmed.
Petra stopped right infront of them.
"Whoa whoa, what's up with you?" Magnus said.
"Is Jesse with you?!" Petra said, scanning the group.
"No, why?"
"Jesse's gone."
suddenly, the blocks around them collapsed, and they all fell down.
