Once Jesse flipped the levers in the correct order, the lantern cloud lit up completely and the wall opened up to some sort of fancy hall.

"Hey everyone, I think I found Soren's way out!" Jesse called out to us.

We all walked towards Jesse, eager to get out of the pretty, but eye burning room.

Lukas mumbled, "Great, now on to Weirdoville in three, two, one."

I went on with Lukas, Axel, and Olivia while Gabriel and Petra praised Jesse for having enough brain cells to figure out that simple puzzle. They finally came through the entrance with us after they wasted a good ten minutes.

I went and stood by the door to Soren's weird office thing with Olivia, waiting for Jesse to either speak, or go through the door. He finally went up to the door after staring at the decorations and furniture in the main hall of the house.

"The music is definitely louder here," Said Jesse.

'No crap.'

"..But I don't hear anyone talking in there."

He opened the door and walked in. He heard Soren's disk and quickly ran up to the jukebox.

"Soren!"

Of course, it wasn't Soren. Nothing but a disk in a jukebox.

Olivia grumbles, "After all that, he's not even here?! We came all this way, and for what? We're no closer to Soren than before!"

Before Olivia could go on yapping any longer, I quickly intervened.

"Well, this record obviously didn't play itself, Olivia." I sassed.

"I guess he REALLY likes the sound of his own voice, then," She replied.

"Maybe there's something useful on this record… if I can figure out what he's talking about." Jesse says.

Soren's recording babbled on about his invention that gives him the ability to walk amongst the endermen. I didn't really pay attention because I'd already played this part quite a few times and knew what was going to happen already.

"You think he's actually training endermen to build stuff?" Jesse asked.

Olivia replied, "I think HE thinks he's training endermen to build stuff."

'This is boring.'

"Go hang out with Lukas, then. You don't need to be here."

'But I wanna hear Soren's song…'

"Go wander around the room, then."

'Okay, I guess I'll do that.'

I walked over to the latter and climbed up. The view out of the window from up there was beautiful. I walked over to the staircase seats and sat down in front of the window.

The void looked vibrant compared to the egg-white coloring of the endstone. As deadly as it was, it was gorgeous. I looked down at the endermen and saw Soren in his enderman suit.

'Wow, I didn't see him there during my playthroughs."

Before I knew it, I saw Jesse walking out with the other enderman suit on.

'That was quick.'

Jesse placed five clay blocks in Soren's weird pattern area. He then turned around and cautiously went over to the enderman with a clay block. Not even two seconds later, Jesse peeved all the endermen off by taking the enderman's block.

He placed the last block in its designated placement on the layout. Seeing the mess Jesse made, Soren walked up to him and punched him. The punch knocked Jesse out, forcing Soren to have to carry him.

Soren brought Jesse inside and once he woke up, Soren started talking weirdly, like a crazy person… or me when I'm hyper.

I gave them some time to talk, staring out the window at the peeved endermen. 'I don't think I'll ever get over the beauty of this..' I eventually climbed down the ladder.

"..But what about you?" Soren asks Jesse. "Are you my friend?"

Jesse paused a bit too long for my liking, so I walked over.

"Yeah, we're your friends!" I say cheerfully.

Jesse looked at me silently. He was clearly both grateful for my answer, and worried about what being Soren's friend truly means.

"Oh, well splendid! That's the best thing I've heard in years." He paused. "Admittedly, that's not a high bar."

'Well now I feel bad, that's just depressing..'

Soren points at Jesse.

"Well, don't worry! I'm going to help you, because that's what friends do. Before we leave, I'm going to give my old friends a gift."

I immediately perked up when I heard "gift".

'Yes! Here it comes!'

"Oh no…"

"The gift… of song!"

Jesse looks at him with a bewildered expression on his face.

Soren then sings his beautiful song, getting cut off part way through by Lukas bursting through the door.

"Wait, is that… are you..?" Started Lukas.

"Soren," Olivia finished.

Then, the endermen started teleporting in.

'Well, that's unfortunate.'

"That's an understatement."

We went to the main hall. Jesse and Soren eventually came up with a plan to get through. Jesse put on the helmet to the enderman suit and began to break the fountains.

One by one, the fountains spilled out water onto the floor below. The endermen screeched and teleported away. We all ran safely through the water pouring from the fountains.

Once we got to the wool world, we were met with a bunch of endermen.

"Everyone just hold onto me, I'll guide us through them," Jesse stated solemnly.

"I guess if this is the only way we're gonna make it back to the trapdoor.." Lukas mumbled.

We all held onto each other and basically formed a conga line. We walked through briskly, only stopping when an enderman blocked the bridge. The enderman stared down at Jesse. Sadly, it saw through his disguise and screamed at him.

We immediately jumped into the water, sparing no time. Soren told Jesse how to raise the water level and Jesse ran over to the lever. He pulled the lever and we swam as fast as possible towards the trapdoor. Unfortunately, swimming isn't my strong suit, especially since my arm hurts.

I swam the best I could, but I was running out of air. Lukas looked back and saw me struggling. He swam over to me and helped drag me through.

Despite almost drowning, we caught up to the others and we all fell through the ender portal.


Wow, can't believe you wrote three chapters yesterday.

I honestly don't know if I should post them early or not. I don't want to just sit around with a bunch of chapters, but if I lose motivation, what will I post?

Eh, you'll be fine. Just figure out what you're going to do soon or else you'll never figure it out.

I'll think about it. Anyway, thanks for reading. I don't really know what else to say.

You could talk to LegendEmperess?

..I don't really know what to say. We haven't really figured out the whole crossover thing, and I don't know how or when we will. If you are reading this, LegendEmperess...

Hi.

...That's all you have to say?

I told you, I don't really know what to say. Anyway, bye!

Bye!
