Chapter fifteen: Nether again and Boom Town
(Episode two is here. Also, I'm very excited for Season 2 to come out next month. :3 Now let's get started.)
Previously on Minecraft: Story Mode.
Heroes can come from unlikely beginnings, and old friendships... Can lead to dark rivalries.
When the world is in danger, an old past will be dragged on, with no time to explain the truth. As they go on journeys they'd only dreamed of.
Our heroes, thrown together once again by fate, must now seek help from a legendary artisan of chaos.
But the question remains... will it be enough to save the world? And will the memories of the future come back to the rest of the world?
Jesse, Axel, and Reuben were on the tracks in the Nether, Axel was in the back with his arms in the air. "Whoo-hoo!"
Jesse looked back at him, glaring at him in annoyance. "Aw, c'mon, Jesse, you're not even having a little fun? I mean, I am!" he told her.
Jesse just stared at him, "Just, remember that we're in the Nether. Watch out for monsters, okay." Axel frowned at her, "Aww, you're always looking for the negative of thing."
Jesse sighed before confessing, "Umm, Axel... can I be honest with you?"
"Sure, what is it?" Axel shrugged.
"The real reason that I choose to go with you to find Magnus, it's because... I didn't want you anywhere near Lukas after that fight." Jesse told him, "I'm sorry, but, you were being slightly mean to him so... I didn't want anymore drama with you and him."
Axel sheepishly chuckled and rubbed the back of his neck, "Umm, sorry about that." he apologized, then he asked, "Hey, Jesse, do you think that Magnus and Ellegaard will remember about anything from before?"
Jesse shrugged, "I don't know, I have doubts about that, but I'm not sure..."
Axel noticed something in front of them, his eyes widened and his grin falling off his face. "Uhh, dude?"
Jesse turned back around, and saw a very angry ghast, and apparently they were rushing right towards it.
Before they can do anything, a fireball slammed into the carts, sending them all flying of the tracks with a scream as they flew over a patch of lava. The three of them tumbled into the netherrack, tumbling head-over-heels before landing flat on their backs or their stomachs.
"Ow, ow, ow." Jesse squeaked in pain, she then saw that the ghast was right near them. "Hide!" she said, and Reuben, her, and Axel ducked behind a pile of nether, Axel was screaming as the ghast shot a fireball that just barely missed him.
"Why does it hate us so much?!" Axel questioned, probably being sarcastic or not.
They looked over to the carts, which were slowly starting to slip off the edge to be boiled. Jesse shouted in panic, "THE MINECARTS!"
"Hurry!" Axel explained urgently, "use something on that ghast!"
Jesse nodded and got out her bow and arrow, she got out from her hiding spot and shot one of the arrows at the flouting monster. Then she quickly switched over to the sword and wait for a fireball to be fired.
The ghast throw a fireball at her before she reflected it back with the sword and the ghast started to shake and then *POOF* it was defeated.
Axel grinned up at Jesse as he pulled the minecarts back up to safely, she put the sword away in her inventory before grabbing Reuben. "Time to move, buddy. Let's go."
Axel hopped into the first cart, making it roll towards the powered rails, Jesse leaping into the middle and Reuben into the back moments before it took off again. "You still got it, Jesse. With that ghast, chasing the minecarts... this is, like, the perfect warmup for when we get to Boom Town!"
Jesse sighed in disappointment and slowly nodding her head, "Yep... Boom Town..."
"Yeah! Boom Town!" Axel cheered as they past the sign with rainbow letters that read !BoOmtoWn!
The minecarts finally came to a stop near the portal that leads to Boom Town, with another rainbow, poorly written sign next to it. "This is it!" Axel cheered, practically jumping with excitement. Jesse lightly smiled at him before walking towards the portal.
They paused just in front of it. "I uhh, think I'm going to hold on the whole going first thing for awhile, Jesse." Axel told her, "How about you take this one."
Jesse nodded, before turning back to the portal and walking in.
Jesse and Reuben stepped through the portal, before suddenly falling comedically forward, because of the lack of floor. Her eyes widened. She screamed as she fell, landing on her stomach. Axel finally got out of the portal yelling in panic, before landing on Jesse.
Jesse and Axel gotten up and saw the distraction known as Boom Town.
They walked around, pressing their backs against a wall, "Just be careful, okay?" said Jesse, turning to face Axel, "One wrong step... and we'll activated the wire." they begin hesitantly making their way to the corner, Jesse tiptoeing forward before leaping over the wire.
"Now Axel," Jesse reminded him, "just remember that there is a-"
Axel had stepped on some string. The string was revealed to be a tripwire stuck to a wall.
"-Tripwire."
The ground below them exploded, blasting them forward with yells. Jesse climbed to her feet, only for another explosion to go off right in front of her, although it wasn't close enough to harm her. They started running, more explosions going off from left to right. Jesse skidded to a stop to avoid one and begin running left towards a small gap between two houses, only for a griefer holding TNT above his head to appear around the corner.
The griefer ran towards her with a yell, but Jesse ducked just as he jumped at her. The griefer went soaring over her and the TNT exploded, taking the poor griefer with it.
Jesse look up to see another griefer standing on the roof, waving an egg with a wicked grin. The griefer threw the egg at her, but Jesse dodged and it hit the ground, a baby chicken appeared where it hatched.
Jesse ran down an alley, coming to a stop when Axel appeared with Reuben in his arms. "Wow." he said, "Did you see that? Utter chaos, man! And the good kind."
Jesse shook her head and rolled her eyes. She walked out of the alley to a little back area, with a few posters, a cactus, and what looks like the back of a house was.
"Wow, the cactus," she said, looking back at Axel, "We don't see these back home."
"You know, I'd take it as a souvenir," said Axel, coming next to her, "But I don't wanna stick it in my pants."
Jesse smiled, gave him an amused look, "Good call, buddy." She then walked by a crater seeing smoke sizzling from the sand, "Woah, This explosion looks really fresh."
"Smells fresh too." Axel said, then they noticed two grievers. One running away from the other one with was holding TNT above their head.
"Your loot is mine, brigand!" The guy yell at the griefer that was running away from him. The female griefer laughed before telling him, "Wooooo-hoooo-hoooo, you'll have to catch me first, anvil foot!"
They ran out of their view then they hear an explosion from where they ran to. "Whoa!" Jesse yelled, "Um, I hope they're okay."
"And if they're not, at least they died doing what they loved." Axel told them, Reuben glanced at Jesse in confusion to which she just shrugged.
She then spotted some posters on the side of a building, Jesse walked over to examine them. There was one of Magnus wearing a green bowler hat and another of an explosion, "Do all these belong to different grievers?"
She continued looking at the posters and mumbled, "The graphic design for some of these is... questionable at best. Eesh."
"Well, here we are, Jesse." said Axel, as Jesse walked towards him. "Boom Town in all its glory... again."
Jesse rolled her eyes, "You really need to stop saying that."
Axel grinned sheepishly, "Yeah, sorry. But still, what do you think? Of the town?"
"It's like I've finally come home." said Axel, "These are my people. And listen to that, they speak my language."
"Wow... Boom Town sure does keep you on your toes." Jesse told him, "Exciting stuff, huh?"
Axel smiled at her, "Yeah! Yeah! Now you're getting it!"
She then walked by a banner of the amulet and pulling out the amulet that Gabriel gave her. The green gem was glowing brightly.
"Dude, It's freaking glowing!" Axel exclaimed.
Jesse nodded, "Yeah, It means that Magnus is around like righhhttt-"
She started rotating in a little circle before she pointed the amulet towards a obsidian building which was broken in the middle. The gem glowed even brighter.
"Here! That hideout is where we're going to find Magnus." Jesse said, with a smile on her face.
A blue-haired girl with her hair in pigtails, a pink T-shirt, and a black mask on jumped from the building she'd been standing on, making the three of them turn to look at her. "Hey there, new people."
'Oh no.' Jesse thought in her head as the griefer walked to them. 'The amulet chase, will be coming soon.'
