Chapter 6 - Magmus and the Serum (Tom POV)

Tom, Steve, Papart, and the scientist made their way back to Magmus's hidden lair, and then went to the nearest set of geysers, where they found Magmus plugging them up.

Tom flew up into the air, and stealthily moved through the geysers. When he was above Magmus, he flung down a blinding potion, and a slowness potion as well. Then, Tom shot TNT down, making a crater to contain Magmus. Tom landed next to Magmus, and opened Magmus's mouth, forcing down the truth serum. He didn't like doing this, but he knew that it was the only way to get the truth, for the serum could not be turned into splash mode.

"Alright, Magmus," Tom used a deeper voice to disguise himself, "What's the real reason that the ghasts are trying to go to the overworld?"

"It's all part of my plan," Magmus answered.

"I need more information," Tom shot back. "What is your plan?"

"It's evil, and it's very very smart," Magmus told Tom. He was very good at giving the truth, but not in a direct way.

Tom pulled out a sword and held it up to Magmus's throat. "One more time, Magmus," Tom warned. "What is your plan?"

"To take over the overworld, and make it just like the nether," he explained. "Oh, and don't listen to the ghasts. They're on my side."

Right then, the flying beasts surrounded Tom. Looked like they had been tricked both ways.
