Jesse ran after Reuben, spotting Petra on a tunnel-top a little way below them, fighting off three creepers at once. She managed to kill one before it exploded, sending Jesse a slightly panicked look before whipping back to the other two as they closed in on her-
Jesse lunged down to Petra, doing a parkour roll and slamming into one of them, knocking it into its friend, and sending them both over the edge. One fell to its death in the grinder, while the other blew up a part of the ceiling of the next tunnel.
More hissing. Both girls looked up as a creeper fell towards them, both of them jumping back with a yell of shock. It didn't explode, surprisingly enough. More creeper toppled from above and made a landing next to Reuben and Lukas, shying away from the latter.
Oh yeah. Ocelot hybrid.
Reuben let out a loud squeal and galloped down some steps, past Jesse and off the edge of the tunnel top, Lukas following closely after her pig as he raced away from the mobs, which were now starting to follow.
"Jesse, incoming!"
Jesse's head snapped back to the other creeper at the shout as Petra slammed the creeper at Jesse. Jesse yelped and jumped after the ocelot and her pig, moments before it detonated.
Jesse shrieked as she landed on Lukas as he was getting to his feet, knocking him back down. Jesse bounced off of him, did a flip and slammed full-force onto her back a few inches from him.
"Aggh, that hurt," she groaned. Lukas let out his own little unworded groan from where he lay on his stomach. A moment of blissful silence, no monsters or rushing water interrupting it.
"Jesse, the amulet!" And Lukas pointed as he got to his feet. "It's over there!"
The glowing amulet was sitting on a tunnel top not too far below them. Jesse let out a little laugh of relief. Suddenly, Axel screamed, and they looked up as Axel and Reuben skidded to a stop on the tunnel top next to the amulet's, water rushing from above and sending deadly monsters their way. Most of the monsters stared at Axel in confusion, or were approaching tentatively. But they were approaching.
Reuben squealed in terror as the water rushed towards the amulet, sweeping it away to where it dangled on a corner, balancing dangerously above the grinder.
Reuben let out another squeal and began to run in circles around a skeleton as it tried to shoot him, Axel punching a zombie off the tunnel top.
"I gotta help them!" Jesse cried out, as a creeper was knocked off the tunnel-top by a falling zombie and second creeper.
"What about the amulet?"
A zombie approached her pet pig.
Jesse didn't even hesitate, but instead charged right for the edge. "You get it!" she shouted, left eye turning blood-red as she charged forwards.
She shot a web out as she jumped off of her own tunnel at the other tunnel top, and swung over to it, the momentum carrying her up and over onto the tunnel top. Lukas followed, but in a less fancy way- he just grabbed onto her silk and scrambled after her. He had a pretty good grip on the string, and it was fairly sticky. He should be fine.
Just in case, Jesse attached it to the tunnel top before turning her attention back to her friend and pig. "Get away from my pig!" she yelled, whipping out her golden blade, and knocked a zombie away from Reuben, which died the moment it hit the ground. It must've been injured in the fall earlier. Jesse whirled on the other one and sent it flying over the edge with an enraged yell.
"Got it!" Lukas yelled, waving the amulet at the dark-haired girl.
She gave him a thumbs' up, before- "Jesse! Behind you!"
Jesse turned at Axel's warning and lashed violently at a creeper that was sneaking up behind her, moments before another river of water slammed into her. It washed Axel and Reuben towards Lukas with yells or squeals of surprise, while Jesse was sent right over the edge with a scream of her own.
Jesse was falling past the other tunnels and walkways, so fast that her hair whipped her face and flapped in the wind, and so fast that she couldn't possibly aim with her string. And fast enough that her screams were lost to the air above her.
The same creeper from before was falling at Jesse as well, having been washed over the edge.
Jesse shot a strand of string at it, catching it, before spinning in midair and throwing it at the grinder below her, which was rapidly approaching. "Oh Notch," she tried to say, but the rushing wind stole any air in her lungs, making her just gasp inaudibly.
The creeper let out an angry hiss and violently detonated, blowing parts away from the grinder so that it was rendered pretty much useless
Jesse went through the now-useless grinder, splashing into another body of water, her entire body swarmed with bubbles and water as she plunged in, before desperately getting herself to the surface, barely able to keep herself afloat by flailing all eight of her limbs. A spider fell in along with some other monsters, but it just tilted its head before suddenly getting sucked into a hole in one of the walls.
Her friends slammed down into the water, stroking to the surface as fast as they could. Reuben started paddling over to Jesse, before suddenly another hole sucked him down, with a squeal that was lost to the water. Petra was sucked down, Olivia following after her, Lukas and Axel shooting into the ones in the walls, bubbles rising into the water.
Jesse tried to shoot a strand of silk at the ledge, but it was too late, and her entire body was yanked beneath the water as she shrieked, bubbles forming in the water as oxygen exited her lungs and she disappeared down a long hole to who knows where.
A/N: Ooh, this is getting exciting! And I updated twice in less than an hour. Woot!
