Charlie, Razer, Rain and Ember were standing facing down Crystal. "Remember, try not to her hurt, we need to buy the others time," Charlie said,
"I won't," Ember said, with Razer quietly nodding.
Crystal glared at them all. "Why are you all here?" She asked. Half uncovered behind her was a square box with markings on it, the artifact
"For the plot," Ember said.
"Oh, that it is it? Because of the plot?" Crystal grow angry
Rain's hands tighten around his sword handle. "Crystal, We aren't here to hurt you,"
"He says as his hands tighten around his sword handle," Razer snarked, before mellowing down a little.
"We're here to save you," Ember said. "From the voice inside your head, even though it would be much to let my so-called friends from my universe to kill him themselves, at the small price of all realities collapsing like tides in the ocean."
Crystal raced Excalibur. "Why does they have to be an outside influence? Why can't this just be me!" Crystal yelled
"Because this isn't the woman I fell in love with," Charlie said
Ember was writing a fanfic idea about Charlie and Crystal getting married, only for Razer to blast it with lightning.
"I love you too, Crystal," Razer said, realized how weird that might sound to some, as he quickly added "as a brother! Let's not do a brother and sister dating relationship thing, alright?"
"Real smooth," Ember said with obvious sarcasm.
Crystal stared at Razer. "I...I..." She shook her. "No! I...I don't believe it!" She said unconvincingly
Charlie took a step forward. "Crystal, Would I lie to you? Ever?" He asked.
Than energy from on of the end Crystal shoot out and slammed Charlie back.
"STAY BACK!" Crystal yelled
Ember shook his head. "Sorry Crystal," he said. "But do I have to give you a speech about the power of love and friendship?"
"Please don't tell me you're a fucking brony," Razer groaned.
Ember turned to Razer. "What the fuck's a brony?"
"You don't want to know, Morgan once explained it to me," Rain said.
Charlie brushed himself down. "Crystal, you and me, since that day I first saw you, I know," Charlie said
Ember and Razer awkwardly stood there.
"Are we supposed to say something?" Ember whispered.
"Nah," Razer whispered back. "Pretty sure we're just here for the laughs. You know, the funny background event?"
Ember nodded as if this was an acceptable answer. "Alright then," he said. "Popcorn?"
Razer nodded and Ember pulled out a giant bowl of popcorn from Notch knows where, and the two began eating it as if this was some type of Hallmark movie.
Crystal launched forward and grabbed Charlie chucking him at Rain knocking the two before turning Razer and Ember.
Ember groaned. "Shit, we have to do something? I haven't even gotten life insurance!"
"Sucks to be you," Razer said. "I'll don't need life insurance! I'm already dead! So screw taxes!"
Crystal held Excalibur in one hand and her diamond sword in the other and charged at Ember.
