The Balancers

Part 14: A Temple and a Broken Steve

It had been three days now since we showed up in Creative. More and more people from the island realms had been showing up here. Actually, one of the players had said that the floating islands had been called sky block. I guess it's a fitting name. Either way, Rainbow Steve had found us, along with Creativity Steve and Goldie. The three of them had then went and found their own "plots", as the players said they were called. The others had also found their own plots, but spent most of their time here. Currently they were sparing in the air while I was building. I finished placing that last few trap doors on the walls, and I was done. I hovered down to the ground and stared at what I had made for a moment. It was about fifty blocks tall, forty blocks long, and thirty-five blocks wide. The walls were made of stone bricks, with some chiseled stone bricks sprinkled in. Large windows were placed evenly on all sides of the temple. They were all made of colored glass panes. Most of them didn't mean anything, but the four on the front of the bottom floor did. They were white, black, light blue, and orange, which represented me, Unbalance, Rebalance, and Debalance. Between each window there was stripped oak logs, with spruce trapdoors above and below them. The second floor expanded one block out from the first floor, and the fourth floor expanded one block out from the second and third floors. The fifth floor was open to the sky, with sets of stairs crossing from one side of the temple to the other in the middle. A six block wide opening was four blocks off the ground at the front of the temple, between the white and the black windows, with a wooden stair case with stone brock sidings leading up to it. The three of them stopped sparing and came down, landing next to me. 

"It's bigger then I was expecting." Unbalance said. I didn't know what we would need to do here, so I had figured it be better to make it bigger then I thought we needed, just incase. 

"Yhea." Debalance commented.  "I haven't seen a building this big since my kingdom..." He stopped mid sentence. I was fairly certain something had happened before Orange King, now Debalance, had been brought here. He had never offered to tell us, or shown any want to, so I never asked.

"Is it finished?" Rebalance asked. I wasn't sure, but it would do for now.

"Yep." I answered. I started walking and the others followed. "There's six levels, one of which is underground." We walked up the stairs into the temple. The sunlight was hitting all the glass panes, casting a beautiful hue across the whole interior of the temple. The first stair case was in the middle of the room, which led to the second floor. There was a huge hole all the way through the upper floors, which allowed sunlight to pour down. The other stair cases were expanded in through air, connecting to the two sides of the temple's floors, positioned above the bottom set. "There's not much on the upper floors." I added. "I focused mainly on the bottom floor. I walked around the stair case, to where another set of stair led to the underground floor. I walked down, the others following. 

"Wow." Debalance said. There were two machines down here. One was a normal lock-in machine. With my infinite resources, I had built it out of diamond blocks. But I think he was wowing at the other machine. It was placed against the wall opposite the stairs. It was outlined by obsidian, with glass covering the openings. Inside the casing, diamond blocks sat one block off the ground, connected to the ceiling by iron bars. The blocks under the diamond ones were Redstone blocks, surrounded by more obsidian. On the outside of the casing, position in front of each diamond block, was a lever. "What is this for?" he continued, placing his hand on the glass's smooth side. 

"This is for something I'm working on for us." I replied. The others looked at me confused. "It won't be ready for a few days. I'll let you know when it's done." 

"Ok, so what now." Unbalance suddenly started. "I mean we've been training for three days now. Origin Steve and Empty Steve are still out there! Are supposed to just sit here and wait for them to come for us?" I was about to point out that Empty didn't seem like he wanted to get us anymore when Creativity Steve ran down the stairs.
