The Road is Long
Chapter Four: Light The Fireworks

The relief she (and the others) had at seeing and getting to the temple was short-lived. Axel managed to activate some kind of trap that sent flying (and very, very deadly) arrows at them, and they all had to race across the stone hallway to the other side without being maimed by one of them.

Finding a crafting table on the other side, she quickly made a fishing rod and used it to deactivate what she realized was a pressure plate that had started the damn trap. She also realized, too late, that she stupidly could have used her bow and an arrow to stop it as well.

"That was fun," Olivia said sarcastically, panting from the run.

"I'll say," Lukas muttered, also trying to catch his breath.

Jesse didn't chime in, figuring it was best to save her breath and just holding onto Reuben tightly. She waited for everyone and once everyone was ready, they all entered and found themselves in a library…eerily like the one from Endercon that belonged to Ivor.

"This is really creepy," Axel grumbled. "Why does Ivor have a library that looks just like this one?"

"Don't know," Jesse frowned as she let Reuben down. "But we should just keep our focus."

"Hey, guys! Take a look at this!" Lukas was next to a prominently displayed book that was on a table in the middle of the room. They came closer and he pulled it to him so he could read it aloud to everyone. But what he read…

"No way! Ivor was a member of the Order?" Olivia was shocked.

Everyone else was too, but it put a bad taste in Jesse's mouth. Along with it was a reluctant curiosity as to what had happened to him and why was he no longer with the Order, or even known to be part of them? What had happened that erased his existence with the famous group from history?

And, linking this library to his, she couldn't help feel a little sorry for him as she realized that he might miss them enough to replicate something of his time with them…

"I gotta say, Jesse –you actually punched a member –even a former member –of The Order of the Stone!" Olivia remembered, turning to Jesse with a big grin.

"Oh man! You're so right!" Axel said, agreeing and laughing. "That's so awesome."

Jesse turned red, but Lukas gently nudged her too. He gave her a small grin of his own as she turned to him.

"Saying it like that does sound really cool."

She cleared her throat in embarrassment. "Y-yeah. Um, let's just head up, huh?"

Still, she wondered why Gabriel hadn't told her about Ivor.

Before she could think more on that, they had gone upstairs to find a ruined part of the temple, though she could clearly see a large map covering an entire wall and which was opposite a pedestal. Thinking quickly, Jesse took out the amulet and looked at it and then the pedestal.

"I think I've got an idea, guys," she said and the others watched her as she went up to the pedestal and put the amulet on it.

Everyone became disappointed when nothing happened, and Jesse wished she'd know what to do next. Why hadn't it worked? Was she supposed to do something else? Or was she completely off track?

"We should look around," Lukas suggested and as everyone went to do so, he came closer to her and put a hand on her shoulder. "You've got this, Jesse. I believe in you," he whispered, and she felt herself become really happy and hopeful then.

"Thanks, Lukas," she smiled at him before deciding to look around herself.

It wasn't long until she came upon a set of switches in line, which Reuben oinked excitedly about. She flipped the first one and grinned widely when she saw that it lit up some lights next to the map. After messing around with the switches, she finally got the order right and all the lights lit up on either side of the map, which activated the amulet. The amulet directed colored lights towards the map, and she realized there were two distinct colors.

"Those might be Ellegard and Magnus!" Olivia said gleefully. "We should go after Ellegard. There's no way she can't invent something that'll stop that Witherstorm!"

"We should go after Magnus!" Axel disagreed. "We need to destroy the Witherstorm and who else is better than Magnus at destroying things? No one!"

Her two friends glared at each other and Jesse was torn. Looking at Lukas, who looked like he had no idea who to side with either, Jesse thought about the pros and cons of either choice.

But really, what could Ellegard come up with to stop that thing? And who knows how long that would take to come up with it, much less build it?

That Witherstorm had to be destroyed.

"I think we should go find Magnus," Jesse spoke up quietly. At Olivia's disappointed look, she hastened to explain. "Look, we don't know if Ellegard can come up with anything to destroy the Witherstorm and we don't know how long we have until it catches up. We still would have to build whatever invention it was too. At least Magnus might be able to slow it down or throw as much TNT at the thing that maybe something will happen, even if it's temporary. Even give Ellegard enough time, wherever she is, to find a way to stop it," she shrugged at them all.

"Yeah, I got you," Olivia sighed. "I guess be safe and hurry back?"

Jesse came over and hugged her, as did Axel (with the two of them reconciling over their small fight). As they worked it out, Jesse turned to Lukas who was hesitantly looking at her.

"I'll stay, help fortify the temple," Lukas told her. "Hopefully some survivors might turn up."

"I hope Petra does too," Jesse spoke aloud what hadn't been said. "Have Olivia help –she's great at building."

They smiled at each other before grasping each other's hands and shaking. Then it was Axel and Jesse with Reuben, and they were heading off to find Magnus.

The return to the Nether was as terrifying as the first time, especially with a Ghast quickly appearing and attacking them. She managed to kill it with her bow and arrow, before she and Axel got into a mine cart with Reuben making an awesome flip into it, and got out of there, heading straight to the portal.

"That was close!" Axel wiped his forehead with his hand once they were on the other side of the portal. "Good reflexes there, Jesse."

"Haha, thanks," Jesse cracked her neck, feeling exhausted after all that.

Still, at least they were really close to Boom Town now, where they would hopefully find Magnus.

"You think we'll find him?" Axel asked her curiously, walking slightly closer.

"I know so," she reassured him. But…"I don't know if he's willing to help us."

"Why not? He was part of The Order of the Stone! And who can say no to you?" he teased her, while she blushed.

"Oh, shush you," Jesse swatted at him, but he dodged her easily.

They'd only stepped one foot into Boom Town after that, before they'd had no choice but to be on guard as they were surrounded.

"Ohhh, we've got newcomers!" one of them ("Griefer," Axel muttered to her) mockingly called out.

"Let's blow them up!"

"Uh uh uh! We should at least pretend to be good hosts~"

Reuben huddled behind her, scared at these people.

"Why are you here?" another Griefer asked, tilting his head in curiosity.

"W-we're here to see Magnus," Jesse tried to confidently say. She brought out the amulet. "He needs to see this and talk to us!"

"Shiny! Can we have it?"

"Take it, take it!"

"We can use it to get to Magnus!"

Jesse and Axel shuffled closer together, and Jesse looked down at Reuben and gave him a look. Her pig nodded.

"SPLIT!"

And she and Axel ran off, with Reuben hot on her heels. The Griefers howled and screamed in delight as they ran, eager to chase them down.

Crazy! The whole lot of them were lunatics!

Clutching onto the amulet, she took sharp turns and went through all the twists she could to confuse them on her track, before she ended up being confronted by one.

"Hey, girlie, hand it over," he snickered, cornering her. "I'll even let you go, if you do."

Jesse scowled. "Yeah right. You'd sooner kill me. Now, Reuben!"

Reuben tackled the man from behind, having snuck around while Jesse was distracting him, and the man tumbled forward and right into Jesse's fist. Then they were rushing off again, and trying to avoid any more confrontations.

Within a few minutes, she found herself with a newer problem though, having dropped down into a hole that was hard to notice. When she was about to scream in frustration, she found herself being thrown against a wall, and a gloved hand covering her mouth as she inhaled the smell of smoke and gunpowder while a tall, muscled body pressed up against hers. She 'eeped' in her head, having been unable to do so aloud.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you, doll," a rough voice spoke, and as her eyes adjusted to the dim lighting, she recognized Magnus the Rogue being the one who'd kept her quiet. He grinned roguishly at her, black mask not obscuring his slate gray eyes but framing them perfectly. "Not if you don't want to catch those Griefers' attention."

She shook her head slowly and he backed away. He made a motion for her to follow him, and after some time doing so while worrying about Axel, they ended up in a larger space that had tons of TNT lying around and a little more lighting.

"So, doll…can I catch your name?"

Her face flushing red, Jesse eyed him warily. "I'm Jesse. I came here with my friend Axel, and my pig Reuben," who was hilariously sniffing around Magnus' feet and looking up at him suspiciously.

"Yeah, cute pig," he muttered, eying Reuben back. "What're you here for?"

"I need your help," she rushed out to say. "There's a Witherstorm out there that's destroying everything and killing everyone. If we don't find a way to stop it, there won't be much of a world left!"

Magnus stopped toeing Reuben curiously, instead facing her with a raised eyebrow.

"You're kidding, right?" he drawled.

"No!" she shouted in frustration. "Just please! Someone take me seriously for once! I'm trying my best here!"

Magnus held up his hands, both of his eyebrows raised now.

"Okay, doll! Take it easy," he walked towards her. "But it's not like I can exactly get the hell outta here, if you know what I mean."

"What? Why not?" Jesse was confused.

He waved towards the ceiling above them. "You don't remember all those Griefers? See –I'm King of Boom Town. They all want to kill me and become the new King. I can't just leave here that easily."

"Can't you just make one of them be the new ruler?" Jesse asked desperately.

He shook his head, running a gloved hand over his bald head. "No can do. Title's got to be earned to them, or else they won't see it as legit."

Jesse closed her eyes and took several deep breaths. She felt his hands land on her shoulders, and she opened her eyes to find him grinning wildly.

"Wanna be Queen of my Boom Town?"

Huh?

Sputtering, she knew she probably took that the wrong way, but her mind might have short-circuited. Plus, Magnus seemed to like invading her personal space a lot, and was kind of really touchy feely…

"See, what if we do something like this?"

Jesse may not be sure of the plan, but it was what they had. Plus, she was just eager to get out of there and hopefully have Magnus coming with them.

The plan went out of the window when she saw the Griefers with Axel, who was bloodied up and his face covered in bruises.

"Axel!" she screamed and the Griefers howled.

"Back again, girlie?" the first female Griefer from before shrieked. "And you brought Magnus!"

"You let him go right now!" Jesse's voice went shrill and she felt herself tensing, even with Magnus laying a hand on her shoulder to try to calm her.

"And what're you gonna do?" one of them taunted.

"I'll take you all on," she growled angrily, narrowing her eyes at them.

She didn't even give them fair warning as she snatched a TNT stick from her pack and lit it up, throwing it at them. They scrambled away, and Axel used that time and distraction to knock away the Griefers around him and escape from their group.

Jesse might have stolen more than a few TNT sticks from Magnus' lair earlier…

Which she put to good use, lighting them up and throwing them at Griefers one after the other. They want to play crazy, she can play crazy!

Thankfully, Axel managed to find his way to her side, and behind her was Magnus gleefully joining in on the chaos and returning fire, throwing his own TNT at the other Griefers and covering her back.

"Doll, I like your brand of crazy!" Magnus shouted.

"Thanks! I think…" Jesse muttered that last part.

She missed the Griefer above, who tossed an explosive down at her, but she was tackled out of the way by Magnus, and they rolled on the ground together.

He was chuckling loudly as they stopped, though they had ended up with him on top of her and Magnus not looking to get up any time soon. "Oh man, this is great. You know, doll, I like girls with a bit of fight in them. Let's beat these shits and get out of here, and stop that Witherstorm of yours, huh?!"

"Sounds good," Jesse croaked out, wondering if she pushed at him if he'd get the hint. "I just want to make sure I don't get my head blown off first!"

He stood up finally and pulled her up, and they were getting ready to be on either defense or offense again, when the Witherstorm appeared and began causing destruction.

"What…what the fucking hell is that?" Magnus stared in horror, his body stilling as his jaw went slack in disbelief.

"That's the Witherstorm," Jesse said grimly.

Looks like they didn't have to worry so much about the Griefers anymore.
