AAAAAAANNNNNDDDDD...WE'RE BACK!
The group came across another sign.
This one read:
One of you must sacrifice something you love.
"Who's turn is it?" Sky asked, breaking a somewhat akward silence.
"Hey I went!" Ant said, throwing his...Notch damn it...her hands up on defeat.
Sky looked at Sparklez.
"I'm not sacrificing Ant." he said, pulling the now female Minecrafter closer to him. She looked up and smiled at him.
Sky turned to deadlox.
"I have nothing much...except...my...headphones..." he trailed off.
"deadlox pleeaaasseee! I need to save my kids!" Sky pleaded.
"B-but! M-my headphones! They're my headphones! I...I can't!" deadlox whined, bringing his hand up to his headphones and...stroking them.
"We can get you new ones!" Sky tried to reason with deadlox, but, to no avail.
deadlox paused for a moment to think. Finally, he came to a decision.
"O-okay. I-I'll do it." he slowly removed his headohones and stepped into the room behind the sign. There was a small pool of lava in the middle. deadlox sighed before tossing his headphones into the pool. It danced a bright red, and sunk slowly, deeper into the pool. The pool quickly dissapeared, leaving the room suddenly dark. There now was an entrance at the other side of the room.
He backed out of the room slowly. "It's done." he breathed as he turned to face his friends. Sky nodded and patted his friend's back.
"We know they're important to you. It's just-" Sky said, but was quickly cut off by deadlox.
"I-I understand. L-let's j-just go." deadlox stuttered, turning back into the room.
Sky looked at Sparklez and Ant and nodded. He quickly turned around following deadlox, and the other two followed his actions.
They came across yet another sign that read:
Your trials are nearly done. One of you must reveal your biggest secret.
"Welp. Sparklez, it's your turn." Sky quickly said as the sign was finished being read.
"W-what? Why me?" he asked, his voice reaching octaves higher than usual.
"'Cause you're the only one who hasn't gone yet ." Ant teased, tippy-toeing(A/N: Toing? or Toeing? or is that even a word?) and patting Sparklez' head.
"O-okay. Fine. I'll do it. Jeez..." Sparklez groaned. He walked into the room, which contained a table, and two chairs that were across from each other. A man walked in and sat in one of the chairs. Sparklez let out a breath that he didn't know he was holding, and stepped further into the room, closing the door behind him.
After a few moments, the wooden door was opened, and revealed that the table, chairs, and man were gone. Sparklez was just standing in the middle, his face a bright red.
"What-" deadlox didn't get to finish his question as Sparklez shushed him.
"Let's just go." Sparklez walked up to Ant pulling him into a tight hug. Ant hugged back, but his face held a confused look.
"Sparklez...let's go now. Come on." she said gently, releasing herself from Sparklez' grip.
"Wha...oh. I'm s-sorry. It's just..." Sparklez seemed like he couldn't find words. Ant just smiled and led Sparklez through the new entrance.
"It's okay." she comforted as she rubbed his back. "It'll be over soon."
The group eventually came across another sign.
"I believe this is the last one!" Sky concluded after remembering what the previous sign had said.
The sign read:
Your final trial. The biggest yet. Step into the room to find out what it is.
