Jesse whipped out her sword as Olivia bleeped out of sight. She reappeared right behind the witch and made a grabbing motion. The witch pivoted on the spot and hurled a potion at the Enderman hybrid. Olivia teleported away in the nick of time- a potion bottle soared right through the spot where her head had been. The spider hybrid was already charging forward as Olivia reappeared again. "Watch out for her potions!" Olivia warned her.

"I'm not sure she needs you to tell her that, Olivia," Em drawled, but it was obvious that it was mainly out of nerves. Olivia shot her a glare before fixing her gaze back onto the screen, twisting her hands together anxiously.

Jesse flung herself forward rapidly until she was on all eights, ducking under the potion bottle, before whipping back upright and lashing out at the witch. She flicked her blade and hit the witch directly in the chest, knocking her backwards before vanishing in a puff of smoke.

Soren let out a low sigh of relief.

"Don't you dare jinx it, Soren," Petra said warningly, turning from where she was now leaning into Jace to glare at the ginger Architect.

"I'm not jinxing it!"

Onscreen, Jesse did the same, sheathing her sword. "See ya later, you nasty old hag," she told the spot where the witch had vanished, before an arrow suddenly impaled the ground mere centimeters from her feet.

"You jinxed it!" Petra yelled at Soren. The ginger squirmed away from her, attempting not to look alarmed at the fact that the red-haired girl was yelling at him angrily.

He failed miserably.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" he yelped, throwing his hands up in surrender.

Jesse let out a yelp as she leaped back, jerking her head up. The screen switched to show an army of skeletons firing arrows at them rapidly. The group lunged out of the way and dodged behind a makeshift wall to avoid getting impaled by the waves of arrows.

Suddenly, a loud series of neighs rang out in the air, and Jesse looked up. The screen changed to show the horses galloping away in fear.

"Of course," Maya sighed, touching her temples and looking as though she had a headache.

Another wicked cackle rang out, and a second witch stepped into place among the skeletons. Onscreen, Soren let out a soft sound of alarm, stepping back hastily. "Oh dear. Witches and skeletons... that's a deadly combination. Her potions, and their arrows..." His eyes widened as he trailed off. "We're all gonna die."

"We have to distract them!" Jesse leaned around the wall before whipping back, an arrow barely missing her nose. "Then we'd be free to run to the Far Lands!"

Olivia shook her head a bit, her eyes also wide. "Yeah, okay, but how are we gonna do that?"

"An excellent question. Don't you think, Mevia?" Hadrian asked, glancing at the cyan-haired woman.

"Indeed it is, Hadrian," Mevia replied, eyes fixated on the screen.

Nell raised her eyebrow at them, but then returned to the screen. "Brah, this is, like, more exciting than the Games," she said, leaning over so that only Em could hear it. Em nodded in agreement but didn't actually say anything.

Onscreen, Ivor made an irritated sound in the back of his throat. The whole group turned to look at the man. "The rest of you, go!" he snapped, "I'll hold them off."

Several audience members turned round to stare at Ivor in surprise. The black-haired man arched his eyebrow at the group after a moment of this, making them all turn back to the screen, Jesse carefully hiding a warm smile and Harper doing the same.

"What?! Ivor, no!" Soren protested, almost standing up. A moment later he ducked back down as another arrow went whizzing over his head.

"There's no time to argue about this!" Ivor snapped back at him as he prepared to duck out from behind the makeshift wall, "just head for the corner of the Glitch Wall!"

"The what wall?!" Jesse exclaimed, eyes widening, inadvertently speaking in unison with her onscreen self.

"Jinx!" Clutch joked.

Ivor didn't respond, dashing out from behind the wall at the witch. "Hey, you witch!" he barked, reaching into his pocket, "you're not the only one who can throw a potion!" And not slowing down, he whipped a potion out of his pocket and chucked it full-force at a skeleton and scoring a direct hit, glass spraying everywhere and killing it upon impact.

He waved his arms at them to draw their attention before chucking another potion and dashing off, arrows and potions following him.

The screen panned back over to Jesse, who whipped around to see the rest of the group staring after Ivor with wide eyes. Making an annoyed sound in the back of her throat, she scooped Reuben up and jerked her head at Soren. "Run!"

Soren took the hint and bolted, leading the way to the Glitch Wall... whatever that was. Lukas dropped to all fours and ran after him, Jesse dropping to all sixes- one pair of arms was engaged in hugging Reuben tightly to her- and scuttled after them at top speed. Olivia seized Gabriel's shoulder and bleeped out of sight a moment later.

The screen faded to black.

Jesse slumped into Lukas, letting out a long breath she hadn't even realized she'd been holding. "The Glitch Wall," she panted out, eyes wide. "What in the name of heaven is the Glitch Wall?"

Ivor gestured at the screen. "I'm sure you'll see in a moment."

The screen came back onto the group running, no longer in the swamp. Jesse finally came to a stop, coming back to a standing position slowly and setting Reuben down. "Guys, I think we lost them for-" She froze, eyes travelling upwards and her mouth falling open slightly in surprise. "... WOW."

"I take your wow," Lukas said, coming up next to her, his own blue-green eyes wide, "and raise it to a woooow."

The screen switched to show a massive wall made up of stone, dirt, cobblestone, grass, and who knows what else. There were twisting tunnels, holes, floating islands. Waterfalls cascaded down the sides from random holes, and the height of the wall. The actual height. Jesse kept looking up, but the massive wall rose so high that it eventually disappeared into the foggy clouds above them.

"Holy Notch," Isa breathed, "that's... amazing."

"That is awesome," Axel said, nodding at the screen with a grin slowly coming across his face.

Gabriel shook his head, giving the group a small, wry smile. "It's even more impressive in person and up close."

"The Far Lands," Lukas breathed, sitting forward and inadvertently dragging Jesse with him, "I'd always wondered what it looked like."

"It's like we're at the edge of the world!" Olivia gasped, coming up on Jesse's other side, the three hybrids gaping up at the massive wall.

"Actually, we seem to be at the corner of it," Soren remarked, before turning to the rest of the group, "welcome to the Far Lands, my friends."

"Is this the 'Glitch Wall' Ivor mentioned?" Jesse asked, inclining her head at the impressive wall.

Soren nodded at her. "Yes. It's the... safest entrance to the Far Lands," he said, after a moment's thought. He started leading them towards the wall.

Olivia sighed, rubbing her head. "I wish we'd had something else to eat," she mumbled, "it'd make facing the wall of insanity a bit easier."

"At least Jesse found those potatoes," Lukas pointed out.

"That might be the saddest sentence ever uttered."

Jesse covered her mouth onscreen, eyes sparkling with amusement. She was silent for a moment, presumably to stop laughing, before saying in a voice that you could practically hear the smile in, "Actually, I think the saddest sentence ever uttered was, 'He needs some milk.'"

This prompted a round of giggling from both the audience, and the other two hybrids in the group, since they appeared to be the only two actually listening to that part of the conversation. Ivor and Aiden both appeared to be carefully hiding grins, and Jesse in particular buried her head in Lukas's shoulder. The blonde looked at her, before patting her on the head and making her whine a bit playfully.

"Quite a sight, isn't it?" Soren hummed aimlessly after a few moments, looking up at the wall, "stretching skywards, in all its glory... like a monument to chaos itself."

Jesse tilted her head at him. "Have you been here before?" she asked him, as the six of them started clumping together for defense.

Soren shrugged a bit at Jesse. "Well, not here specifically. But we have been to the Far Lands. The Order traveled far and wide in its heyday."

"Incredible," Gabriel said, looking around them with wide eyes.

Olivia nodded, watching rain fall sporadically through holes in the wall. "You can say that again."

"Incredible."

"I didn't- you know what, forget it," Olivia muttered, rolling her eyes with amusement tugging at the corners of her lips. Magnus sniggered, and Gabriel gave the dark-skinned girl a sheepish grin.

Onscreen, Olivia rolled her eyes, an expression much like Real-Olivia's expression posing itself on her face. "My bad. I should've seen that coming."

"How can Ivor live here?" Jesse mused, touching the corner of her lips. "I mean, it's one thing if it were Boom Town, or to build a wool world inside the End, but to live here..."

Soren shook his head at Jesse a bit. "Oh, I doubt he lives here. Most likely he just comes here for his most secretive research. Whatever Ivor's hiding here, it must be incredibly well-guarded."

Jesse arched her eyebrow at him, crossing most of her arms and was silent for a moment. "Well, that certainly helped me feel more optimistic."

Several members of the audience snorted at that.

"You'll be fine," Ivor said dismissively. "... probably."

Lukas blinked and twisted to look at Ivor, raising his eyebrow. "Was... was that meant to be comforting, or...?"

The group approached one of the lower caves, redstone, torches, and... other various objects placed seemingly at random.

Soren hummed a bit. "This way, I suspect."

Lukas sighed, making the rest of the group look at the ocelot hybrid curiously, "I'd feel better about this if Axel and Petra were here."

"Aww, I'm sure we miss you too, Lukas," Petra grinned, reaching over Jace and Jesse to muss up the blonde's hair, Lukas halfheartedly batting at her hand to move it away from his hair. Axel looked pleasantly surprised that Lukas was missing him.

"I know what you mean," Olivia sighed in agreement, rubbing her head and messing up her dark curly hair a bit as she stared at the ground.

Reuben let out a sad, agreeing whine, looking down at the ground. Jesse paused, nodding a bit herself, before grabbing Olivia's hand. Olivia turned to look at Jesse as the spider hybrid reached out and grabbed Lukas's hand, and then grinned down at Reuben. "Well, c'mon then!" she said cheerfully.

The other two slowly grinned back at her, before the group walked into the cave, Soren leading the way and being closely followed by Gabriel.

The screen faded to black with the three hybrid's hands remaining firmly intertwined.

"N'awww, you love us," Olivia teased, reaching over and poking Jesse's cheek.

Jesse slumped into Lukas to try to avoid the girl's finger, pouting a bit. "Yes, yes, okay, I love you guys. Now that we've established that fact, please avoid poking me," Jesse whined playfully.

There was a bit of laughter at this, before they all turned back to the screen.


A/N: Hey, guys! Apologies for the lack of updates. Um, they might get slower again, because, um... my grandma died on Thursday, and I'm going to go attend her funeral. So I might not be able to update for a while; although I'll try to get as many chapters as I can out before Friday (that's when I'm leaving to attend the funeral). So... yeah. Sorry.

Since only two people wanted to know what I meant by 'it depends' last chapter, I'm not going to explain it.

RQTC: I don't really have one this time...

the indecisive bird: Yeah, that'd be nice. :3 / Indeed they do.

AquaK13: Haha, I know the feeling. / Yeah, that'd be interesting. We'll just have to see, I guess. / Hehe xD

Emily The Avenger: (laughs) / I have too many favorite animated movies, so too bad for me xD / Well, you technically wouldn't. You could just say 'this is my version of Season 2, it's not canon.' / Not necessarily. (shrugs) First one.

LunarStarsMoon: (grins) Glad to hear you find it so funny. / Haha, same here.

Rabbits rule: Me too, actually xD / Ohhh. Falling asleep in class isn't that bad. I know half of my school does that in math (our math teachers are SO BORING.) / Thanks :3 / Oh. (looks down) ... okay... / (smiles) / Seriously, you'd be a good writer if you decided to use these ideas.

AmberRaptor: (blinks) / Haha, yes, we should avenge Reuben.

Darkbeast Dend: (nods) / Uhh... is it safe to tell your age on the Internet? I told mine in a more roundabout way (although everyone knows now, but whatever)

MissyMattingly: Reasons are very good reasons indeed xD

S4SH4L4SH4theGaMeR101: Honestly, I have no opinion on ships in canon. If that's a thing they wanna put in, I'd be okay with it, but if it's not, that's alright too.

NinaNaranja: (laughs) / I don't know if they'll kill off a character. I'll still play it if they do, but unless it has a storyline purpose (for example, Ellegaard's death and Reuben's), it'll just bug me endlessly. / Uhh... I dunno. GirlOfMyOwnWorld? (I would guess me, but that's really conceited xD)

DynamiteHunter6: I am a Lukesse fan, but it's fine. Honestly, while there are a lot of Lukesse moments the way I play the game, I don't want it actually in the game. Maybe hints of it is fine, but an actual canonical ship would probably spoil the game for me a bit; since this game is an adventure game (specifically an adventure game) and a romance would just distract from a more adventure-based storyline.

Slayer88: (shrugs) I'm good with it either way.

rebekahtpe: Agreed. / I know, right? / I would, but since you're one of the only two who wants me to, I'm not gonna... xD / Hehehe xD / I forgot the actual episodes, so I'll have to get back to you on that.

LegoGirl794: (nods in agreement)

RapidSammi: (grins) Glad ya liked it. / True xD / Witch googly actually sounds really, really adorable for some reason. I have no idea why. xD

J.M.M.: It's not that it was funny. It just made me smile. And I honestly forgot as well xD

sailor. mikuchan: (shrugs) I'm not sure if I need ships or not. I just need a second season. xD / I'm not sure if that's confirmed. Time'll tell, I guess.

Beli0304: That's true. :3 / Since you're the only other person to want me to explain, I'm not gonna xD
