Minecraft Story Mode Season 1 Wither Storm Arc (1/2)

Ch. 13.3 - My Best Friend...

[Jesse's POV]

The lighting suddenly changes as we crash land into the Wither Storm. When I finally took in my surroundings, everything around me looked purple and black. But that wasn't really important right now. I looked over at Reuben, who was trying to stand up beside me.

Jesse: "Reuben!" I went over to hug him. "You're okay... thank god..." Reuben oinks back in response. "You shouldn't have surprised me like that; why didn't you do what I said? I know you're not obedient, but I just wanted you to listen to me just this time..." Reuben doesn't respond.

I sigh. Whatever, now's not the time to get angry, Jesse... I need to find that command block quickly and then find a way out of here. C'mon, you can do this; we're so close to the end, Jesse. After calming myself down a little, I let go of Reuben and finally stood up. "Stay close to me, okay?" Reuben nods. The place we were in looked like a tunnel shaped like a stomach, so we're actually inside this thing now?

We started walking along the path. On our way, we could see a few things poking out of the walls. When I went to take a closer look, it actually looked like a human? No, it IS a human. The person had a purple tint to it, and he didn't move; his eyes were open. What the heck? I tried to get a reaction out of him, but he didn't respond. Is he in a coma? Maybe that's what's happening to the people trapped in here.

As I tried to move on, the ground suddenly started to shake. I and Reuben lose our balance as we get thrown towards the wall. When we were able to get up again, it looked like we were standing on the wall now? The ground we were on before is now on its side. Did the entire place flip to its side? Reuben's squeal suddenly snapped me back. I look over to see what's going on, just to see Reuben getting scared by another person poking out of the wall.

"Wait Reuben, DON'T RUN AWAY!" Before I could react, Reuben ran away. Shit! I can't let you get hurt! As I ran past the withered person that scared Reuben, I could recognize him as the butcher from back at Endercon. I guess now I can understand why it scared Reuben. As I catch up to Reuben, the ground starts shaking again. I stretch my arm out and catch Reuben before the place flips to its side again.

When I look up again, I suddenly find myself in front of another sight. We weren't in the stomach tunnel before; we reached a big room deep inside the Wither Storm. And then my eyes locked on the thing sitting in the middle of the room. Surrounded by a bunch of inactive tentacle arms, it was the Command Block sitting right there in the open. "There it is..."

I stood up and put Reuben down. "Stay here where it's safe, okay?" Reuben gave back a scared squeal. "It's going to be alright. Just wait here until I destroy that cursed block, then I'll get you out of here, okay?" Reuben nodded back with a concerned face. "I know you're scared, but this will all end quickly; don't worry." With those words out of the way, I approached the command block while pulling out my enchanted pickaxe.

"We meet again, Command Block... Now it's time to destroy you." Without pausing, I swung the weapon with all my might and crashed the pickaxe into the command block. The hit caused a shockwave to engulf the room, and I got partially blinded. When I opened my eyes again, the inactive tentacles around me started to violently shake. Crap. Before I get the chance to hit it again, I'm forced to jump back when a tentacle tries to swing at me. I lose my footing and get knocked back to Reuben.

"Shit. Reuben, I think we made it angry." A tentacle arm suddenly pops out of a nearby wall, prompting us to duck and run away to another corner of the room. Just when we thought we were safe, another arm pops out from this corner, prompting us to stop and run back into another corner. "Reuben, whatever happens, we have to destroy that command block! You understand?" Reuben nods back. At least his fighting spirit is back a little.
