"Looks like some zombies have a death wish," Jesse said mildly, passing the flint and steel to a couple of her lower arms, before yanking out her sword.

Petra pulled out her own, Blaze Rods appearing around her and fire beginning to flicker at her feet. Gold eyes glowed, cutting through the dimness like a knife through butter. The armor Ivor had given her began to glow red-hot- the gold armor with silver edges (it wasn't pure gold, but rather a metal that could stand extreme heat. It just looked gold.)

Axel grinned and tensed a bit. His eyes dilated, and green mottled skin began to show itself on his neck, his hands, most parts of him.

Olivia's height shot up a couple inches, both eyes beginning to brighten as her arms stiffened straight out, grinning at the zombies in front of them with a nasty grin.

The four hybrids tensed, before Jesse started. Shooting a web at the ceiling, she retracted herself, swung herself towards a zombie, and landed hard on it, stamping on it with all her might, making the thing burst into smoke. Without pausing, she flicked her sword out and sliced off a zombie's head.

"Duck!"

Jesse did as she was told, and watched as Petra sent an arc of lava splashing all over some of the zombies behind her, setting a good deal more on fire. Petra then vaulted over her into the fire and began to wreak even more havoc on the zombies.

Axel charged into a huge group of them, and Jesse dropped to all eights as an explosion went off, sending zombies and zombie guts flying everywhere.

Olivia didn't build another redstone machine- instead, she started teleporting around the room, grabbing zombies and tossing them into the lava, or hitting them, or sending them flying at Jesse, who'd impale them with her sword.

"Three, two-" and Jesse sank her teeth into a zombie's skull, just as fangs shot out from her mouth. The zombie jerked, before dying again, leaving a rather nasty taste in Jesse's mouth. She spit it out and made a face.

The four hybrids then bolted for the stairs, Olivia just teleporting up as fast as she could.

A doorway that none of them had noticed opened, and zombies began lurching out from the doorway.

Jesse groaned. "Oh, come on!" Whipping out her sword again, as Olivia pulled out a bow and shot a couple that were following them, Jesse sliced through a zombie's legs, and then sent the next one over the edge and into the lava, before they continued running up the stairs.

An arrow impaled the ground in front of Jesse, and she twisted to look up, just in time to see a lavafall take out two skeletons... and the stairs.

"We need to get out of here!" Jesse barked, "Now!"

They all bolted up the stairs, just as Petra shouted, "Look out!" Jesse looked up to see a lavafall beginning to head her way, and dropped to all eights, propelling herself forward with almost superhuman speed before lunging for a stair, using the web to catch herself as the stairs began to disappear, before more lava took out the stairs, getting ready to take out the four hybrids.

"The vines! Climb the vines!" Jesse shouted, pointing at the wall, before jumping on. Her eight limbs began to scramble up the wall, as the others grabbed the vines (well, Axel), as Olivia teleported to the top and Petra hopped off the staircase, hovering upwards.

Another opening opened up, and cave spiders started coming out.

Petra let out a groan. "Cave spiders... why did it have to be cave spiders?"

Jesse knew why Petra was groaning- at one point, apparently, when Jesse had caught a cold and couldn't go on the mission, the three other hybrids went off to go look through a cave. They came back covered in greenish blue blood. Cave spiders, when killed, apparently have a tendency to pop like a balloon, despite their being smaller than normal spiders. Jesse decided to take their word for it.

"Hey, back off!" Jesse snapped at the cave spiders, the telltale hissing that came out whenever she talked to spiders appearing.

The cave spiders looked at Jesse for a moment, before they moved away from Jesse and Axel, and Jesse started double-timing it up the wall.

Unfortunately, besides Olivia, it looked like they might not be fast enough, because the tunnel started closing.

Olivia bleeped out of sight, before reappearing and putting blocks down to block it, but the tunnel walls were persistent and just smashed through the blocks.

A last ditch idea came to Jesse's mind, and she withdrew her sword again, before drawing her arm back and winging it right at the tunnel opening. The sword clanged into the space between the two parts of the floor, keeping it open.

"I can't believe I just saw that! That was amazing! Why is no one freaking out?!" Axel said, his voice high-pitched with excitement.

"Freak out on the inside, Axel," Petra responded, with a grin, "we gotta move!"

Petra soared through the open space, Axel crawled through, and Jesse leaped her way out, grabbing the sword and giving it a good, hard, yank, the tunnel opening slamming shut so hard the floor shook.

Walking outside the temple, Jesse grinned at her friends as sweat poured down her face, stinging her eyes. "Holy CRAP, that was fun," she said, grinning.

"Yeah, I see what you mean. Fighting off monsters, finding sweet treasure," Petra said, smirking slightly.

Axel waved his arms. "Like that flint and steel thing... you gotta try it again!"

Jesse shrugged and pulled out the flint and steel. Once again, the blue glow lit up her face, making her red eye turn purple and her green eye turn the same shade of green-blue as Lukas's eyes.

Jesse went over to a block of wood, holding the flint and steel out, before clicking it together again, carefully. A pillar of blue fire shot up inches within Jesse's face, making her yelp a bit and hop back, shock in her eyes, all of their mouths open as they stared at the blue flames. "Whoa!" the four hybrids chorused, eyes wide.

And then Jesse heard a voice that she hadn't heard in a while. She looked in the direction of the voice.

"Well, well. Where'd you get the new toy?" Aiden asked, smirking as he leaned on his own enchanted sword.

A/N: Squeee :3 Excited for Aiden to become a villain, that's always fun to watch.

RapidSammi: Lol xD Okay, I'll save you for real this time (goes over and pulls Rapid out of Crispy's grip) I'm glad you liked that part!
