Minecraft Story Mode Episode 2: Chapter 1: The Nether Strikes Back! Command Block Mayhem!

(Ryuuto POV)

"...yu! Ryu!" I faintly heard.

I opened my eyes slowly, and instantly regretted it. I was in the Nether again… With Jesse, Olivia, S.M.B, Petra and Reuben.

"Why…?" I groaned. "Why are we back here?"

"We had to, so we can get to Ellegaard. Also, Ryu, you could you tone down your power release next time?" S.M.B asked.

"Wha- what do you mean?" I asked confusedly.

"You don't remember? You fought a swarm of Iron Golems with a massive gray skeletal warrior thing that had a silver sword! It mimicked you every action and you decimated every last Golem quickly, before passing out on us!" Petra explained.

"Huh, I couldn't remember at the time but… I can remember bits of it… It's all just a blur though…" I sighed. I saw a Ghast near us. "GHAST!" I exclaimed, jumping out of the Minecart I was in. I then summoned the skeletal warrior my friends mentioned upon instinct and reached out a skeletal hand to crush the Ghast and claim it's tears, before the warrior faded out of existence, and I fell back into my cart. Everyone stared at me.

"Ryuuto, you're gonna kill yourself with these crazy stunts…" Gabriel said, genuinely concerned.

I scoffed at that. "Really uncle? We had way more dangerous adventures." I then winced, grabbing my arm as my vision blurred. I pulled my hand away from my painful arm, seeing my own blood on it with a unknown purple essence in it.

"Guys, quick stop." I summoned a skeletal hand made of Magic instead of Chakra and used it to stop our minecarts near a netherrack house. I knocked on the door, as a Wither Skeleton opened up.

"Ryuuto! How are ya bud?" The nether-dweller asked.

"Not feeling too good Ember. I need some help identifying what is making me weaker than usual." I told him.

Ember nodded. "And these other people?"

"Friends." I said.

"Alright then, come on in guys." As we walked in, Ember proceeded to check my arm.

"Dude, you've been infected by Grade 3 Wither Sickness! How did you manage that?" Ember asked after he finished wrapping my arm up with some healing potions and bandages.

"...We got attacked by this thing called a 'Wither Storm'. It got a good shot at me and injured my arm… I think it wanted to kill me slowly."

"I see… You'll need this then." Ember walked over to a chest near the back of his house, and pulled out a white helmet with obsidian trims.

"This is a rare one of a kind helmet. It effects ou with a special potion effect I created called Purity. It will cancel out Wither Sickness and Wither Poisoning as long as you still are wearing it. It also doubles as actual armour, as strong as a Diamond Helmet." My old friend explained.

I took the helmet and wore it gratefully. "Thanks buddy."

When we left Ember's house, we got back into our minecarts and I gave us a big push using a little dose of Wind Style: Force Gale.

I saw the purple Wither Poison fading from the effects of the helmet, smiling. "I'll need to thank Ember someday."

We quickly got to the exit Portal and jumped through, as I made sure no one accidentally fell once I saw how far up we were.

"Careful guys." I called up the bridge and we got over the water, finally in Redstonia.

"Builders of Redstonia! I want you to know how much I value and adore each and everyone of you! Your hard work inspires me everyday!" I heard my aunt, Ellegaard's voice call out. "I am about to enter my Dome of Concentration, where I will be unreachable for the foreseeable future! But I will emerge when I complete my latest and gratest creation, the Command Block! So please continue working! COntinue building! And whoever impresses me the most will become my new protege, ready to help usher in a new era of innovation and creativity!"

I looked up to see my aunt smiling upon her subjects. "Calvin, throw the switch!" A man, supposedly Calvin, flipped a switch and started to close up the Dome my aunt was in.

"Oh no you don't!" I said, getting ready to rush before I ran at the closing staircase at my max speed, 61 MPH.

I got inside before lockdown, landing on my face after stopping. "Ow… I guess I just left them behind…"

"Who are you?" Ellegaard asked, turning around. "Wait… Ryuuto?"

I got up, smiling at my aunt. "Heya, Aunt Ellie. I've got a message for ya from Gabriel. The world's in danger."

Ellegaard looked shocked. "The world's in danger? Gabriel's here?"

I nodded at both questions. "I need some help aunt. Did you finish the request I made 4 years ago?"

Ellegaard took off her goggles and blinked. "Which reques- OH! That one! The space-time delay machine?"

"It's called a Time Chamber, and yes, that one."

Ellegaard sighed. "Just… working out the kinks. If I could create a Command Block or get something almost as powerful, then I could power it…"

I sighed. "Aunt Ellie, that's the problem!" I walked over to the closed Dome, and opened up a little hole, seeing my friends. "Teleport." I said, but nothing happened. I looked through my mind, trying to find a Jutsu that could bring my friends to me and I found it. "Kamui!" I said, as reality warped around my friends, before they were spit out of the exit warp.

I closed the hole in the Dome up, before Ellegaard nodded at my friends.

"Hello Gabriel. Friends of Ryuuto." She said. Gabriel got up and smiled.

"Ellegaard, old friend. How are you?"

"Fine, but I need to get to work on my Command Block project. If what Ryuuto said is true, we'll need it."

I then followed Ellegaard to a room with a lot of Redstone contraptions.

"Welcome to my lab everyone! Ryuuto, help them get to work! We need to finish this Command Block ASAP to defeat the Storm!" Ellegaard said.

I nodded, making some Shadow Clones to help everyone get started on making the Command Block, before we hit a fail.

I grunted, before smirking. "C'mon, aunt, we can do better!"

We got to work again, trying a few times before we hit a milestone! The Command Block faded in and out of existence, before the building shook and a black tentacle popped out of the wall.

"Susanoo!" I called out, a skeletal body warrior forming around me, but I pushed more energy into it, causing it to grow muscle tissue. I summoned it's gray sword, slicing at the WitherStorm's arm, and making it fall off. The Susanoo faded, and I looked at everyone.

"Run guys!" I said, running and getting through the Portal with my friends.

When we left the Nether Portal, we were greeted by a Creeper. I was about to draw my sword before arrows stuck out of it's body. "Who goes there?" I heard a voice call out before I looked up and saw Lucy.

"LUCY! OVER HERE!" I called out.

"Ryuuto? Guys?" Lucy smiled. "Alright, you got Ellegaard!"

"Yup! Now can ya let us in?" I said.

Chapter 1 of Part 2, aka Episode 2, aka Chapter 8 finished!

I'm getting back my MCSM groove guys, before I was kind losing my grip on this community, but no more! Your pal Zak (my real name xD) is back, and most likely for good!

Next Update Will Be Around: March 2 to March 6.

And yes, Ryuuto is infected with Wither Sickness, but on a higher scale than Gabriel or Petra's… This one would actually kill a normal person like Jesse instantly… Only Ryu's powers keep him alive right now...
