The screen came back in to show Jesse climbing up the side of the hill to the temple. "Okay, just a bit further!" she called down to Axel and Magnus, lower arms hugging Reuben.

Magnus's head popped over the edge of the small hill first. "Wow," and he stepped over to the edge and looked at the archway. The gaping holes that had been there had been completely blocked up by redstone, with an iron door blocking the entrance. "Someone went bonkers with the defenses, huh?"

Lukas felt a grin come over his face, one eyebrow rising. "Wow, Olivia. You're really good with redstone."

"Thanks," Olivia said, grinning back.

Onscreen, Jesse simply shrugged. "Well, I like it."

They all hopped down and headed towards the entrance of the temple, before a loud hiss met their ears, the creeper staring directly at Magnus. Axel stepped in front of him and glared at the creeper, hissing slightly in anger. To everyone's surprise, the creeper stopped and tilted its head at Axel curiously.

Well, until five arrows impaled it, killing it and making it burst into a cloud of smoke. "Who goes there?" The screen switched to show that it had been Lukas who'd shouted dramatically, ears pricked up. His blue-green eyes widened, and he lowered the bow. "Jesse? That you?" he called down.

Jesse grinned and waved back at him. "Lukas!" she called back. Axel hissed slightly and Magnus gave Axel a raised eyebrow, mumbling something about "you two didn't change much, did you?" which Jesse chose to ignore. "Hey, we're back!"

"I'm so glad you're back!" Lukas called down, his ears actually perking up a bit at the sound of her voice.

Aiden's scowl, forgotten in the madness of Boom Town, returned at the sight of Lukas being excited at the Order of the Loser's return.

"And we brought Magnus!" Jesse pointed at the master of explosions next to her.

Lukas's grin grew even wider. "Fantastic!" He disappeared, the screen changing to show him opening the door, blue-green eyes actually sparkling with excitement. "You guys are NEVER going to believe who showed up while you were gone."

Jesse poked her head inside the building, to show Petra leaning against a wall and grinning casually. Her face lit up. "PETRA!" she shouted, unknowingly echoing Axel's, Olivia's, Lukas's, and the two Jesse's exclamations.

"You're alive!" and Lukas accidentally squashed Jesse and Jace into the hug as he lunged to give Petra a hug, Axel and Olivia quickly joining with Reuben. Petra was laughing and trying to keep them all from falling over.

"See? Told you I'd be fine!"

Jesse raced inside the building and threw her arms around the redhead as she pushed herself off the wall. Petra stumbled back a step, but she was still smiling at them. "Hey, guys. How's it going?"

Reuben raced over as well, squealing happily and running in little circles around her, making the redhead grin down at her from where Jesse was still hugging her.

"Petra, you made it!" And the two girls let out a loud, surprised gasp Axel literally lifted the two of them off the ground in a tight hug.

"Axel, ribs," Jesse eked out, although she was still smiling.

"Sorry," and he let go, dropping the two girls back to the ground, but still grinning, all of them grinning at each other.

Petra let out a low wolf-whistle and grinned at Jesse, one hand on her hip. "Nice cloak."

"Thanks," Jesse nodded, a grin still fixed on her face.

"What about Gabriel...?" Ellegaard asked softly.

Petra nodded, and said, a bit more quietly, "Back there in Gabriel's bunker... it got pretty dicey."

Jesse's big smile faded as she nodded again. "It's such a relief to see you," she agreed, "I'm so glad you're okay."

"You pulled me out of that Witherstorm's clutches, and I ran, and ran, and ran for the temple. If you hadn't saved me..." Petra paused again, before continuing, seriously, "well, I owe you everything, Jesse. I'm just glad I heard Gabriel telling you where to go."

Jesse's smile was completely gone now. "D-did anyone else get away?" she asked anxiously, twisting her hands together, eyes worried.

Petra looked down at her feet, mouth in a grim line. "It's all a blur, but the Witherstorm left almost nothing behind. Everything... everyone... was just... gone," she said, so quietly that it was almost inaudible.

Jace shook his head slowly. "Gabriel, that butcher, the other Ocelots, our home..." His voice was hoarse, and tears were beginning to gleam in his eyes. "They're all just... gone?"

Maya buried her head in her hands, beginning to cry. Gill wrapped a comforting arm around her, his lips pressing into a thin line as he tried to keep himself from crying. Aiden's hands were clenched in his lap.

"Out of all those people at Endercon..." Petra shook her head. "Only six people make it out? A-and one of them's a pig."

Reuben let out this sad whine, Jace tightening his grip on the pig as he stared blankly at the screen, doing his best to not cry. Jesse reached out and squeezed his shoulder comfortingly, but she couldn't bring herself to say anything.

The other people in the room were uncomfortably silent at this, staring grimly at the screen.

"It even got Gabriel," Petra finished, turning around and leading them all further into the temple. Jesse looked back at Magnus, whose mouth was hanging open, eyes wide. He slowly shut his mouth and looked back at the floor without saying a word, which really wasn't like the Order of the Stone member.

Soren reached over and gave Gabriel an impromptu hug, an upset look on his face. "Oh, my old friend..." he sighed. Magnus and Ellegaard all looked at the ground, trying not to meet eyes with Gabriel, the warrior staring blankly at the screen, a grim look on his face.

The screen switched so that they were ascending the stairs, Magnus looking around. "Wow. Been a while since I've been here- whoa."

His face contorted into a glare, fists clenching. Both onscreen Jesse and Real-Jesse flinched back a bit in surprise and apprehension. "What. Is. She. Doing. Here?" the Rogue asked slowly, deliberately, and most of all angrily.

Jesse turned to look over her shoulder, mouth falling open as her eyes widened.

The screen switched to show a chatting Olivia and ELLEGAARD standing near the crumbling wall. Ellegaard had this warm smile on her face as she talked to Olivia, and the Enderman hybrid was waving her hands around animatedly.

Soren's eyes widened. "Oh. Well. That's not good. They're going to kill each other."

"What's Ellegaard doing there? I thought we agreed to go after Magnus!" Axel said, sounding surprised.

Jesse hummed, making all of them look at her. "Hmm! ... maybe that's why I hesitated last time. I get the feeling that Olivia's a bit stubborn, so that me must've found it suspicious that she was just agreeing with the idea."

"... now that you mention it..." Jace touched his chin.

"Call this a hunch," Petra said tentatively, "but, uh... do you two not like each other?"

"More like despise each other," Soren said. Magnus and Ellegaard simply looked away from each other at that.

"Right, I forgot to mention," Lukas added sheepishly, rubbing his head as Jesse turned to stare at him, "Olivia went on a little 'expedition' of her own, while you were gone..."

Magnus frowned at them. "And this, 'Olivia' person, came back with her?" He turned to Jesse, eyes narrowed in suspicion. "Did you know about this? Did Ellie-" he cut himself off, closing his eyes in frustration for a moment. "... Ellegaard. Did Ellegaard put you up to this?"

Everyone shot Magnus a look, as if to ask what that was about. He just shrugged.

Jesse shook her head, frowning slightly. "And this... is a problem?" she asked, slowly.

"You bet your butt it's a problem," Magnus snapped, "no way am I working with her. Not after... ugh."

This caused several raised eyebrows.

Jesse's eyebrow went up as well, but at that point Olivia spotted them. The skin around her right eye had darkened to jet-black, and the eye was a glowing shade of magenta, but the dark-skinned girl was grinning as she flailed her arms in a wave at Jesse. "Jesse!" she called out. "Jesse! Look- I found Ellegaard!"

Jesse looked back at Magnus with an apologetic look. "One moment, I'll- I'll go and figure out what's happening."

"Good," Magnus snapped at her, "you do that."

Olivia was practically glowing at this point. "Guys! I get to go to Redstonia! And I get to meet Ellegaard! How awesome is that?!" she nearly squealed. If this had been an anime, she would've been surrounded with sparkles.

"Tell you what, Olivia, since Magnus is taking Axel to Boom Town, why don't I take you to Redstonia sometime?"

Olivia squealed again. Jace turned to give Ellegaard a grin. "That was a very enthusiastic yes."

She reached over Petra to flick the boy on the shoulder.

"Easy now, Olivia," Ellegaard was saying to Olivia onscreen, who seemed to have actually grown a bit taller, "let's try and play it cool, hmm?" She turned back to Jesse, gaze hardening. "So, who are you? And why did you bring him with you?"

Jesse sighed and pulled aside the cloak. Ellegaard's eyes widened. "Oh. Oh! I see. Olivia just called you Jesse, but I didn't realize... yes, okay, I see now. Hello, Jesse. But, ah, doesn't answer my second question."

"I barely followed that," Axel said, blinking at the screen.

Jesse kneaded her forehead onscreen. "Yeah. We're- we're trying to reunite the Order of the Stone."

Olivia's magenta eye was literally glowing with excitement. "It was kinda crazy, actually. I went to Redstonia, and there were all these amazing engineers and inventors... it was a bit intimidating, actually. But Ellegaard's made me her protege!"

Real-Olivia's grin was in danger of splitting her face.

"Way to go, Liv!" Jesse cheered, grinning up at Olivia. "I was Queen of Boom Town. For like, twenty seconds."

This made Real-Jesse snort.

Olivia grinned back at Jesse. "That's awesome! Great job!"

Before any of them could say anything else, Magnus came over, seemingly having lost all patience. "Oh, hoooo-ray. It's Ellie. And here I was just starting to enjoy myself."

"Hello, Magnus," Ellegaard responded primly, returning the glare he was sending her, "your voice is exactly as pleasant as I remember. Which is to say, not at all."

"Burn!" Clutch shouted out, making several audience members jump a bit in surprise.

"Ow, my feelings." Magnus stepped closer, arms crossed. "That the same wit you're gonna use to save the world?"

Ellegaard stepped forward as well, her eyes practically burning with anger. "Why? You here to tell me how to do it better?"

"Oh, I would never dream of doing that. Unlike you," and now the two of them were right up in each other's faces, inches from one another, so close to one another that had Jesse shoved Magnus and Olivia shoved Ellegaard they would've kissed, "I actually do things instead of just talking about them."

"Hey," Olivia interrupted, "that's Ellegaard you're talking to! Show her some respect!"

Ellegaard gave Magnus a smug grin, to which the Rogue just stuck his tongue out at her.

"Wow, you've finally found yourself a live one," Magnus said sarcastically.

"Hey!" Olivia repeated, sounding offended this time. Magnus continued, "your devotees are usually more on the bookish side."

Lukas blinked at this onscreen. "What's wrong with books? I like books. And Jesse does too. I mean, when we were back in the lab, Jesse would pet me while reading a book-"

Axel suddenly shivered, Olivia went ramrod straight, Lukas's hair rose on end, Jesse shifted into a defensive position, and Petra shuddered. Lukas blinked rapidly again. "Holy crap, where did... where did that come from? I never... I don't think I remembered that before..."

Jesse shook her head to clear it before turning to Magnus and Ellegaard, pressing her palms together. "Well, would you two please cut it out? Let's focus on the bigger picture here. We have a very hungry Witherstorm who is in the process of turning our world into its dinner," she said, trying to steer the conversation away from the bickering.

"Yeah, I'll admit, that thing looked real nasty. And I've seen some nasty stuff in my time," Magnus agreed.

"Too much for you, was it? Your usual brutish approach didn't cut it?"

The audience groaned.

"Hey!" and Magnus whirled back on Ellegaard, "you weren't there, alright?" The screen switched to show Jesse's closed-eye, annoyed expression twitching. Then Lukas's ears, which were starting to twitch, hair standing on end. Petra was starting to spark slightly, looking rather annoyed herself. "You didn't see how this thing tore everything up-"

"ENOUGH!"

The audience jumped at the three simultaneous voices that rang out and interrupted the bickering.

The screen switched to show Petra, Lukas, and Jesse, all of them looking downright furious. Petra was literally smoldering, smoke starting to curl off her shoulders, sparks spitting off of one arm and gold eyes red-hot, starting to glow with heat, although it seemed a bit dim. Lukas's hair was standing on end, his tail bristling and his pupils full slits as he hissed angrily. Jesse's red eye was glowing brightly, her fists tight, hissing herself.

"Holy crap, you just pissed the three of them off," Axel said, looking startled.

"The entire world is being eaten," Petra spoke, her voice oddly calm but quivering with fury.

Lukas picked up where she'd left off, his claws slowly unsheathing, his canines having become needle-sharp points, "and you're both here acting like little children!"

"Would you two please put aside your differences," Jesse agreed with her two friends, voice deceptively calm, "because we don't have the time for petty- ARGUMENTS!" All three of them yelled the last word at the same time, making the audience flinch.

Ellegaard and Magnus glanced at each other guiltily.

"Whoa!" Magnus recoiled onscreen, looking slightly nervous and a bit taken aback.

"Yikes," Ellegaard agreed.

Olivia nodded faintly in agreement. "They're right," she agreed timidly. "We don't have time to argue. We have to find some way to stop that thing."

The screen switched back to show Petra's body going back to normal, Lukas's hair relaxing, and Jesse brushing her hair back in front of her left eye, all of them becoming more calm about the whole thing.

Ellegaard hummed thoughtfully. "Yes, but... this place isn't nearly the stronghold it used to be... most of our supplies are gone."

"It would take a mountain of TNT to kill that thing!" Magnus said, throwing his arms into the air.

Ellegaard sighed a bit at this, putting one hand on her hip. "Yes, I hate to say it, but judging from the stories Olivia's told me, you have a point," she said reluctantly.

"At least they're agreeing now," Lukas sighed, relaxing onscreen.

Axel patted him on the shoulder with a nod. "I know, right?"

Olivia raised an eyebrow. "Are they getting along?"

"You talking about Ellegaard and Magnus, or Lukas and Axel?" Jesse replied, arching her eyebrow.

"If only Soren were here," Ellegaard mused, "he might have something we could use..."

Soren blinked at that. "I do?"

Lukas made a very odd sound that he disguised as a cough, but when he removed his hand again he was still smiling.

"Ellie, not this again," Magnus sighed, rubbing his forehead. "You know I hate it when you brag about you and Soren's little brainy club."

"I'm not bragging!" Ellegaard huffed back, "I think I've got a legitimate idea here!"

Jesse looked over at Ellegaard, tilting her head to one side. "What are you talking about?" she asked, curiously.

"Soren had a kind of... 'super TNT'," Ellegaard responded, "stronger and more explosive than anything else in the world. The Formidi-Bomb."

Soren's eyes widened, before he rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "The Formidi-Bomb... that might actually work!" he muttered, eyes brightening in excitement.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Magnus dismissed, "I've heard all about the 'F-Bomb' before."

Jace, Real-Jesse, and Onscreen-Jesse all snorted at that.

"Yeah, Soren claimed that dropping the 'F-Bomb' could destroy anything."

Real-Jesse burst out laughing, burying her head into Lukas's shoulder in an attempt to stifle it. Jace was starting to make odd sounds while trying not to laugh, and Lukas wasn't doing much better as he covered his mouth, trying not to giggle. Petra was smirking, Axel was making a very odd face in an effort not to laugh, and Olivia was actually giggling slightly. Maya was giggling, Gill was grinning, and even Aiden was trying not to smirk. Cassie was chuckling softly, with Winslow making this sound that sounded suspiciously like a snigger while Lizzie was biting her lip but still grinning. Stampy had his face hidden in his hands in an attempt not to laugh, Stacy was clutching her stomach and doubled over, Dan was stepping on his foot in an attempt to stop laughing (which still failed miserably), and Sparklez was grinning.

Harper was chuckling slightly, while even Ivor was smiling faintly at that and Otto was smiling. Hadrian and Mevia were laughing openly at this, Hadrian slapping his knee while Mevia was doubled over. Em was cackling quietly, while Nell was trying to repress a huge smile but failing miserably. Reuben was grinning as well, making odd snuffling sounds. The gladiators were all grinning or trying to stifle giggles. Isa had this very amused expression on her face, Milo was cracking up, and Reginald was chuckling and trying to muffle it with one hand. Gabriel had one eyebrow raised with an uncontrollable grin on his face, while Ellegaard had long given up and started giggling. Magnus was grinning as Soren admonished him, although a huge grin was still fixed on his face, "For the last time, Magnus, that is not what it's called!"

Onscreen, Jesse was giggling and obviously trying not to. The others were trying to keep a straight face but failing miserably.

"A-anyway, the F-Formidi-Bomb sounds perfect!" Jesse said quickly, trying to stop her giggling. "We should go get it. Like, right now."

Ellegaard rubbed the back of her neck. "Erm, there's a little problem there... we don't know where Soren is."

"That sounds like a pretty big problem to me."

Onscreen-Petra's sarcastic comment set everyone off again.

"But you found us," Ellegaard said onscreen, ignoring Petra's sarcastic comment, "do you know where he is?"

Jesse looked up at the map, and everyone followed her gaze. Ellegaard nodded at that, crossing her arms. "Our map could locate him. Unless he's in the Nether. Or the End," she amended, confirming Lukas's earlier theory. "But, it's worth a shot."

Jesse stepped over and placed the amulet back in it's place, before going over to the table and flipping a couple switches, which made the lamp light up and shoot the beam of light at the amulet. The red and green lights flashed into being right next to one another at the temple.

"Okay," Magnus said, looking up at the map, "there's your light... my light..."

He was cut off by a white light flickering to life at the top of the map.


A/N: I remember the first time I played the episode... I cracked up laughing upon Magnus saying the 'F-Bomb'. I'm weird. xD

Just in case you don't remember, every other story except this one is on hiatus until I either complete it or get bored of it. I've said this once before, but I'm going to say it again in case you don't remember.

RQTC: WHEN DID THIS STORY GET OVER 4000 VIEWS?!

S4SH4L4SH4theGaMeR101: Ah. :/

pensuka: (laughs)

Idon'tlikecheese: Gotcha :3

AquaK13: TUTOR ME PLS xD I suck at math, if you can't tell from that comment. xD xD xD

Darkbeast Dend: Hey, I'm really sorry if this comes off as rude, but can you try to comment only once or twice per chapter? And please don't ask about other stories in the comments section of this story; I do check the comments of my other stories, so please comment on those if you would like me to update. Although, right now all of my other ones are on hiatus (like it says in the A/N above) :3 Once again, sorry if this comes off as rude.

RapidSammi: Ahhh, that sucks.

LittleAngelbun: If you don't like Algebra... then all I can say for when you reach Algebra 2 is OH SH-

LunarStarsMoon: Ah, cool. :3

Emily The Avenger: (cracks up)

DynamiteHunter6: NO xD

rebekahtpe: xD And... so, my last name is weirdly pronounced, so people always mispronounce it... long story short, a substitute teacher basically pronounced my last name as 'Sh*t', since most people think it's pronounced like the s-word without the 't'.
