Jesse bounced, hugging Reuben tightly, as the world around her turned purple and pink, bouncing through a miniature gorge, feeling herself bounce down a couple edges before tumbling and rolling to a stop.
Panting, Jesse sat up, giving her little Reuben, her little pig, a stern look. "Reuben, don't surprise me like that. You could've gotten hurt if I'd dropped you," she scolded gently, but she wasn't really all that mad about it.
Reuben gave an apologizing squeal, and Jesse's gaze softened. "On the other hand, I'm glad not to be here alone."
Fondling his ears, Jesse managed to get to her feet. "Just stay close, okay?"
Walking through the huge cavernous Witherstorm, Jesse looked around and shuddered at the sight of people frozen, their eyes blank white and glowing purple as they stayed frozen in terror. Ohh, how much she hoped the Witherstorm didn't have some sort of demonic immune system.
Jesse shivered as she looked through the people, before suddenly the whole place shook, as if sensing Jesse was inside and she couldn't be there. Yep, looks as though the Witherstorm had an immune system.
The Witherstorm suddenly turned, making Jesse cry out and shoot out some webs to keep herself from toppling painfully to the ground, grabbing Reuben close to her chest as they roughly collided with the rather warm ground. Looking up, Jesse locked eyes with a withered man, and shivers tore down her spine as she recognized him as the butcher from Endercon.
Reuben let out a terrified squeal, galloping away.
"Ah! No, Reuben, come back!" Jesse cried, rushing after her little pink pig, "Wait up!"
Suddenly, the Witherstorm turned again, making Jesse lose her sense of gravity and up and down before slamming into the 'ground', landing on her stomach and getting to her feet, more warily than before. Her eyes widened.
In front of her, under some bizarre archway, was the Command Block.
Jesse took a few tentative steps, before running full out towards the Command Block, even as the whole cavern started shaking again, Jesse dropping to all eights in case the whole place turned again, scuttling towards the block. Thankfully, there was to be no more turning, but Jesse didn't let her guard down.
She slowed to more of a crawl as Reuben caught up to her, giving the girl a worried whine. Jesse looked up at the Command Block, sitting on a bit of a raised platform. The archway looked like the Witherstorm's tentacles, and they were in what looked like the very heart of the monster (gross), the ground littered with purple dust, and people on the walls.
Jesse slowly approached, feeling tremors rattle through the ground as she climbed the raised floor. "There it is," she whispered to Reuben, before her eyes traveled to the glowing block. "We meet again, Command Block."
Jesse straightened up, hoping that the ground wouldn't turn, drawing her glowing sword slowly. "Now it's time to destroy you."
Jesse crawled up onto the raised platform, fist tightening on the sword hilt, before letting out a loud shout and slashing at the Command Block. White sparks spat out upon contact, the Command Block cracking but not quite breaking. The Witherstorm let out a roar of pain, and Jesse dropped back to all eights as the ground shook again. The archway suddenly peeled apart into six different tentacles, Reuben letting out a loud squeal of fright as the world started shaking violently.
"Mother of Notch," Jesse whispered, before ducking a tentacle, but even with all eight limbs on the ground the violent tremors managed to knock her back off the platform, as it rose higher in the air. More tentacles began to come from the walls. Jesse was pretty sure that if someone were to snap a picture of her right now, her face would be whiter than snow.
"Oh Notch, oh Notch oh frickin' Notch," Jesse whimpered, her hand tightening on the sword that she actually worried that she was going to break it, as another tentacle slashed towards Jesse and Reuben, from the walls this time. Jesse scooped Reuben up and lunged out of the way, rolling to the side to avoid another tentacle, before lunging back to her feet and dodging. "Oh Notch," she repeated.
"Reuben, whatever happens, we have to destroy the Command Block! Okay?" Jesse asked, looking down at her little pink pig.
Upon hearing that, Reuben let out angry squeals, turning to the tentacle from before, like a piggy version of a barking dog.
Jesse beamed at her sweet little pig, whipping out her sword, and turned to a tentacle, slicing out with it, cleaving the massive thing right in half and leaving the top part to wriggle about wildly on the ground.
Jesse whipped around and destroyed another tentacle as it tried to hit Jesse. "It's doing everything it can to protect the Command Block," Jesse mumbled softly, before her gaze softened, and she shut her eyes, taking a deep breath.
Her eyes opened, blazing red.
"Which means I have to do everything I can to destroy it."
Jesse ran back to the platform, taking a running jump and landing on the platform, before whipping around and doing the crabwalk to duck one tentacle, before whipping back to her feet and using the sword to cleave one of the tentacles in half, followed by another one as it tried to lob her head off. Jesse slashed another one before it could even get within striking distance.
Whipping back to the Command Block, Jesse brought her sword down on it, sending white-hot sparks spitting everywhere and causing another crack to appear in the incredibly damaged Command Block, but still not destroyed.
Jesse let out a scream as the Witherstorm decided to turn UPSIDE DOWN, smacking against the walls and finding herself flat on her back on the ceiling (or, what used to be the ceiling), the Command Block above her.
"... well f**k then," Jesse said, finally.
A/N: And that marks the first time Jesse has cursed in this story!
Haha, cliffhanger. Sorry xD
