Jesse walked into the room that was literally glowing red, staring down at the glass floor beneath her. Beneath her, were literally thousands and thousands of lines of redstone, and repeaters, and more pathways, and it was so dizzying that Jesse actually had to lift her eyes from the floor so she didn't get too dizzy.

In front of her, in the center of the floor, was a huge structure with a single glowing red block on the top, and there were three spires that were connected with glowing streams of light to it. The block's light seemed to be.. pulsing. Beating.

So that was the Redstone Heart. Jesse snuck a glance at the three spires. And those are the spires.

"The three spires," Jesse whispered, tiptoeing forward nervously.

A sudden, loud blooping noise sounded, and she jumped with a loud yelp as PAMA's voice intoned, calmly, "Greetings, Jesse. I, of course, have been expecting you. Though I will admit I am surprised at how quickly you gained access. My defenses are significant. Your resistance to me is... illogical."

Jesse crossed her arms, scowling at PAMA. "Yeah, well, I had some help getting here. My friends made sure of that. Thanks to them, I'm here to put you out of commission."

"Your bravery is an impressive quality. I look forward to studying that aspect of your personality... once you have been made useful."

The "..." showed on the screen, before flickering back to PAMA's 'face'. "Out of simple curiosity... how exactly did you plan to deactivate me?"

Jesse put her hands behind her back and gave PAMA the most poisonously sweet smile she could muster up, all girlish innocence. "That's for me to know, and you to find out," she said, so poisonously sweetly that it was almost heavier than Jesse's poison.

"Then I look forward to making you useful- and finding out for myself."

Jesse grinned, sharp canines showing. "We'll see about that!" and she bolted for one of the spires.

Several loud zombie groans, and Jesse's head turned to see, on her right, three zombies leaping down to block the spire. Then, on her left, three spiders vaulted over the spire, landing on the ground and hissing at her.

Jesse's head turned between the zombies, then the spiders, and then dropped to all eights, racing towards the spiders. "Out of my way!" she hissed angrily, chest humming.

One spider tensed and jumped, and Jesse did something she'd only done once before, in the lab, when she was really small. She flipped over, slamming onto her breath, legs and arms curling up so she was in a tight little ball, then as the spider landed right on top of her, her legs lashed out, launching the spider into the air and off the glass platform.

"Sorry," she added, flipping back onto her feet and continuing on towards the spire. A spider tensed his legs and jumped to the ground, hissing angrily at her. Jesse's eyes flicked between the two, and then her peripheral vision spotted a blur of moment. Jesse rolled to the side, the spider soaring over her, and leaping to her feet again, she lashed out with her sword at the next spider, which landed on its back at the base of the spire.

Racing towards it, she hopped into the air, stomped on it, and used it to launch herself onto the spire. Glancing back at the spider, she dropped to all eights and got herself to the top of the spire, yanking out a bucket of water.

"Your end is inevitable, Jesse," PAMA stated.

"You sure about that, PAMA?" Jesse asked, sharply, and upended the bucket.

Water poured off the top of the spire, splashing all over her feet, and making the light from the spire flicker and die, the lights dimming majorly. "You are very good at being a nuisance. But not good enough."

"I'll take that as a compliment," Jesse responded, as an image of three triangle signs with an exclamation point inside each appeared, one of them glowing red, before PAMA's face flickered back on, Jesse leaping down from the spire and hitting the ground running towards the other spire, blocked by the zombies.

Dodging to the left, she pivoted, whipped back to an upright position, and shoved. Hard. The zombie staggered and fell over the edge of the platform, plummeting towards the glowing redstone on the ground. Pivoting again, she lashed out with her sword, hitting them so hard that they both went flying so that they were near the edge, so close that a single push would've knocked them off.

She completed the process, dropping to all eights, tensing, and then lunging. Slamming the zombies in the chest, she did a flip and landed neatly right on the edge, before racing towards the spire again, racing up to the top, as PAMA stated, "You are too insignificant to worry me."

"Shut it, your voice is irritating," Jesse snapped back, and splashed the contents of this bucket on the spire, the lights flickering again as the beam of light flickered and died, water splashing all over her feet.

"You have inflicted... minor damage on me. Owie," PAMA said, a face coming onto its screen, before it flickered to the warning screen, two of the triangles glowing now. "I may have underestimated you, Jesse," PAMA said simply, as Jesse leaped down from the spire and landed on all eights, scrambling across the floor towards the last spire.

"Is my defeat still inevitable, you hunk of metal?" Jesse asked, drily.

"Your defeat is still inevitable," PAMA said, 'voice' sounding downright irritated.

Jesse rolled her green and red eyes. "If only I had a bar of gold for every time I heard that before..."

"You will relinquish your water."

Jesse looked up at the low, robotic voice, and felt everything freeze.

Because standing a little above her, on the spire, with glowing, dull red eyes, was Harper.
