The screen changed to show them walking into another room. Soren's mouth fell open, eyes widening to the size of tea saucers. "By the stars!" he breathed in shock, "the Ender Dragon!"

The screen changed yet again to show a purple-tinted room. Inside this room was a huge replica of the Ender Dragon made out of obsidian, glowing redstone lamps making up each eye, and behind the dragon, there was no wall, but an extension into what seemed to be a replica of the End. In the center of the room had four obsidian towers with banners and buttons on them, objects decorating the banners. Lit redstone lamps glowed cheerfully on the top of each pillar, and more redstone travelled down the backs.

"Woooaaaaah," Nell said, dragging out the 'o', "that is seriously radical, dude!"

Ivor raised an eyebrow at Nell slightly, a faint smile coming over his face. "Er, thank you."

"No probs, brah."

Jesse's mouth also hung open as she followed Soren into the room. "Wow!" she breathed, looking around the room in wonder, "wow, wow, wow! I'd always wondered what this looked like."

She admired the landscape for another minute, before trotting over to the four pillars. She tilted her head as she surveyed them- a green banner with TNT emblazoned across it, yellow with a loaded bow, red with a piece of redstone dust, and blue with a diamond sword on it. "Soren, what's this?" she asked him.

The ginger architect turned around from where he'd been admiring the Ender Dragon replica to look at the spider hybrid, before turning back to the replica of the dragon and setting his hands on his hips. "It appears to be a homage to our battle with the Ender Dragon. Despite his anger, Ivor never stopped being fond of us. He was a big part of our team. He knew his days in the Order were his finest."

Real-Ivor's gaze was a strange mix between hard and soft. He finally spoke up, in a voice that sounded very different from the one he usually used, "Yes. They were."

Gabriel snuck a glance at Ivor. His dark blue eyes were narrowed, and his mouth was set into a thin line as he stared at the screen, resolutely avoiding everyone's eyes.

Onscreen, Jesse stared at Soren, a sad sort of expression coming over her face. "So... why did he quit?" she asked, mostly to herself, crossing all of her arms in confusion.

Soren's expression grew more somber, and he glanced away from Jesse awkwardly. "It's a long story," he uttered in reply.

Jesse waited for the architect to elaborate, but Soren didn't.

Lukas coughed slightly, making Jesse look over at him. He blushed a bit when he noticed her looking at him. "Ahaha- sorry. It's just getting kind of awkward."

Onscreen, Soren just kept looking away awkwardly, so finally, Jesse subtly changed the subject. "So... how did you beat the Ender Dragon, anyway?"

Soren glanced at Jesse out of the corner of his eye. A strange, tiny smile snuck over his face, before he began, "If you'd only been there... it was a fight for the ages."

"Sure it was," Ivor muttered softly, almost under his breath, voice regaining its usual asperity. Harper was the only one to catch it.

"You might remember, but we spent weeks preparing for our greatest battle ever," Soren continued. The screen changed from the homage of the End to the real End, with towering obsidian structures and a strange, purple sky. Large, violet crystals hovered atop some of these obsidian structures, and the Ender Dragon flew about, giving off a deafening roar that made most of the audience wince and clamp their hands over their ears.

"Holy crap, that's awesome!" Axel exclaimed, eyes lighting up.

The screen switched to show the Order appearing out of thin air, landing on the ground. Soren had a loaded bow and arrow in his hands, Gabriel wielding his diamond sword and Ivor flicking out a potion to his left, and Magnus with a block of TNT and Ellegaard pulling some TNT out of her pocket to his right.

"That was even more awesome!" Nell exclaimed, grinning at the Order. Ivor just looked away, narrowing his eyes at the screen, and the Order gave her smiles.

"But even so, the Ender Dragon was stronger than even I had imagined." The dragon flew around, a pink beam of light momentarily connecting it to one of the purple crystals, before disconnecting and joining with another one. Soren watched as the dragon soared over his head. "I realized that it was drawing energy from the Ender Crystals, and that the crystals had to be destroyed."

Soren dodged past an Enderman and lifted his still-loaded bow, firing it. The arrow soared in a perfect arc at one of the crystals, shattering through it with a single hit. "I hit the first with a perfectly placed arrow."

"The second," Soren dashed towards Magnus, the King of Boom Town throwing a block of TNT at Soren's feet. Soren tensed his knees and leaped, the TNT's explosion launching him even higher into the air. "By launching myself on a shockwave of Magnus's TNT." He landed atop one of the obsidian spires, driving his sword straight into this crystal and shattering it. Magnus could be seen on the ground, grinning and pumping his fists in the air.

"Using only my strength and my wiles-" Onscreen, the screen switched back to Jesse, who gave her eyes a slight roll, but she was still listening with rapt attention, eyes sparkling with amusement as Soren continued, the screen switching back to show the dragon plunging straight at Soren, "I steered the dragon towards the third crystal. Ellegaard got that one, though-" And the screen switched to show Ellegaard setting down a redstone torch and looking up. Thousands of arrows peppered the dragon's side, shattering the third crystal in the process. "She made a redstone machine that destroyed the crystal." The dragon swooped past, Ellegaard throwing her hands into the air in excitement.

Soren's eyes hardened as he steered violently to one side, quickly getting up and wobbling slightly as he tried to keep his balance. The dragon plowed straight into the last crystal and broke it into a billion pieces, just in time for him to leap off and do a parkour roll onto the ground. "I flew the dragon directly towards the final crystal, and it flew straight into it. Only then-" Gabriel leaped into the air, raising the sword with his eyes hardening- "Did Gabriel deliver his famous final blow."

Gabriel brought the sword down right on the dragon's neck. The beast's skin started cracking, purple light spilling through, before an explosion of purple light eclipsed the screen momentarily. When the light faded, the dragon was gone.

"That was amazing!" Olivia exclaimed, nearly bouncing in place and making Axel bounce in place with her. "I didn't know Soren rode the Ender Dragon!"

Petra grinned. "All I really knew was that they destroyed the Ender Crystals so they could kill the Ender Dragon... but that was pretty awesome."

"Does it get the Petra stamp of approval?" Jace joked from where he was sitting next to her, a wide grin spreading over his face.

Honestly, he deserved that poke in the ribs he got from the redhead.

Ivor had a hard look on his face, staring at the screen in a venomous glare. He had never looked more angry during the watching of the episode, except maybe for the time in the first episode where he'd been screaming about Axel taking his potion.

"We became heroes, and eventually, legends," Soren said onscreen as the scene faded from the Order celebrating to Jesse standing in front of Jesse, staring at Soren with this almost wondering expression. "The greatest the world has ever known."

"Wow," Jesse said, eyes wide, "that... wow. You guys did all of that?"

Soren nodded, grinning at the spider hybrid widely. "Indeed we did. They didn't call us the Order of the Stone for nothing," he replied.

Jesse nodded and moved away, her arms a whirl of activity. The lowest two were tapping their fingers on her thighs, the middle set were crossed and drumming their fingers on her arm, and the topmost set was crossed over her chest, her knuckles at her mouth thoughtfully.

"Wow. That's... wow," Cassie blinked at the screen, "that looks incredibly dizzying. You must really be in thought, then."

Onscreen, Jesse paused, before looking up at the replica of the Ender Dragon. The screen panned up to the Ender Dragon, where there was a lever on the back of its head.

"Ohh, cool," Lizzie said, sounding impressed. "I didn't even spot that."

Jesse raised her topmost arm, before giving her wrist a good flick and shooting a strand of silk at her target. It smacked into the dragon's back. Another good flick of the wrist, and the spider hybrid went flying. She whipped around in midair, back hitting the... well, back of the Ender Dragon, before doing a flip and landing neatly on her feet.

"Holy crap," Dan said, making the black-haired girl look over at him as a wry grin came over his face, "you got good at that real quick."

The girl smiled back at him, fondling Reuben's ears absentmindedly as she brushed a stray strand of hair out of her face. "Heh, thanks."

The same look that had formed on Lukas's face back when Gill had burned his hands posed itself back on Lukas's face, his lips pressing into a bit of a line. Petra spotted this, and elbowed him with a slight smirk. "A bit green with envy, aren't we?" she asked him, teasingly but extremely quietly. Jace heard the jibe and snorted, grin forming on his face.

Lukas glanced at Petra and opened his mouth to deny it, before pausing. He stayed in that position for another moment before mumbling "Shut up" in embarrassment and turning back to the screen as Jesse turned back around to the screen, completely oblivious to that little scene that had just happened.

Onscreen, Jesse kicked the lever, and glanced over at the set of iron doors on the other end of the room. A thunk rang out from behind the iron doors that were immediately in the room, but those doors hadn't budged one centimeter.

"Okay, so I opened something beyond the first set of doors," Jesse murmured, jumping down from the replica and doing a quick parkour roll at the bottom, "so now to find the thing that opens up the first set of doors it... self..."

She paused, glancing at the four pillars. Approaching them more closely, she surveyed the buttons above each banner with some more interest, before trotting over to the yellow bannered one and hitting that button first. The redstone lamp winked out as she did so.

"Oh, I see what he did here," Stacy said suddenly, making several members of the audience jump- they'd kind of forgotten she even existed.

Onscreen, Jesse trotted over to the green banner and hit the button above that one as well. She then trotted over to the red banner, hitting that button, before going up to the blue banner and touching that button. The last redstone lamp above the pillar winked out, and the iron doors sprang open rapidly, nearly hitting Reuben in the face. The little pink pig leaped back with an alarmed squeal.

"Oh gosh! I'm sorry, Reuben," Jesse addressed said pink pig, apologetically fondling Reuben's ears some more, "totally didn't mean to do that."

He nudged her hand with his nose. Jace grinned and rubbed Reuben's head as well, making the pig grumble with pleasure. "Aww, he forgives you."

"Aw, thanks, buddy," she said, grinning down at the pig. Reuben grinned back.

"Oh Notch! You okay there, Reuben?" Jesse exclaimed, hurrying over to the pig. He squealed affirmatively, and Jesse let out a low sigh of relief, reaching down and fondling his ears some more. "That's good. I wouldn't want you getting hurt."

"Bravo! You did it!" Soren congratulated the dark-haired girl with a grin. She grinned right back, and the two of them walked into the next room, a rather relieved sigh coming out of Jesse's lungs at the sight of a glowing book sitting on a quartz block.

Otto let out a musing hum. "Compared to the Atlas... it's very lackluster," he said to his cohorts quietly, being careful to keep his voice low. Hadrian and Mevia nodded in reply to that.

"There's the book!" Jesse exclaimed, stepping towards it.

Behind her, Reuben let out a confused oink, staring at something past the enchanting book. Jesse glanced at Reuben questioningly, before back at the book, and then lifting her gaze.

Gasps erupted around the room, eyes widening in shock. Onscreen, Jesse had a similar reaction, automatically stepping back as her hands flew up to her mouth in shock, her green and red eyes widening in confusion.

Because right there, in front of them, floating on their own respective quartz blocks, were the Ender Crystals.

The real ones.
