Reuben, Jesse, and Olivia sat in a trio of mine carts, heading in a straight line. Through the Nether.

Jesse had to bend his legs more than he normally would due to his new found height, making him feel awkward and uncomfortable, like a baby deer getting used to walking.

Olivia smiled excitedly, leaning over her mine cart despite the danger, "This is so cool!" She said excitedly turning to Jesse, "The amount of engineering it must've taken to do this... I mean, automated train tracks running all through the Nether? Connecting  all the different order members?" She slowly sat back down securely "And imagine the Scaffolding needed to make all of it! The time! Not even mentioning the amount of redstone and resources! Ellegaard was probably fighting off Zombie Pigmen with one hand, and wiring redstone with the other!"

Jesse smiled and shook his head. "Well the order was still together so they were probably here to protect her while she wired it." He pointed out "It IS pretty awesome. And just think, we're about to meet her. We're gonna get her, and save the world from the Wither Storm!"

Olivia nodded with a smile, before pausing, heh eyes widened and she slightly stood, pointing behind them. "UH- Jesse!" She warned.
Jesse turned to look, seeing a Ghast flying up. He was honestly DONE with Ghasts he'd seen them one too many times and he had a feeling it wouldn't be the last. Before he could get out his sword or stand up to defend them, the Ghast shot the railroad beneath them, causing the carts to go flying. One of the carts entirely got destroyed, it happened to be the one Olivia was in.

Jesse reached out his hand for Olivia to save her. Pulling her close once he got a hold, wrapping his arms and legs around her and Reuben as they flew onto a platform, skidding across the hard hot Nether floor and ending up next to some of the rails. Jesse let go and slowly got up taking Olivia by the hand and pulling her off the ground. "HIDE!" He yelled, sprinting behind a nearby lump of netherack.

Olivia looked up at Jesse, surprise on her face as she looked at him "Jesse I-.... Thank you...." She said breathlessly. Still in shock from the situation. But it quickly ended when she noticed the mine carts on the edge of the platform, nearly falling off. "The mine carts!" She yelled.

"You get the minecarts. I'll fight the Ghast and keep its aim off of you" Jesse said confidently, running out from behind the rock and sprinted toward the Ghast who flew up and out of range.

Olivia ran toward the mine carts, trying to pull them up the ledge, but one of the corners was caught. Ruben ran over trying to use his snout to help get the corner moving over the ledge.

Jesse dodged a fire ball that was shot at him. Getting out his fishing rod and shooting it toward the Ghast, managing it get a hold of it. He pulled the rod to send the Ghast close to him taking out the gold sword he was given and hitting the Ghast.... Having to do it multiple times since apparently the 'too soft' aspect meant it was as soft as Wood. Thankfully it didn't take too many hits for the Ghast to turn to dust. He smiled gleefully. Catching a hard yet small object that fell from the spot the Ghast was in, an odd hard silver object, not Iron, but metallic like it. It was so small that it fit in his palm.

Olivia huffed, smiling as she managed to pull up the mine carts, looking over to Jesse. "Alright! Done!"

Jesse looked over with a smile, putting the solid Ghast tear into his inventory. "We can get back on track then! ....by the way, uhm... Can Reuben ride in your cart? Since your old one was destroyed and well... With my legs now I doubt he could fit with ease." Jesse pointed out.

"Sure!" Olivia said, walking toward the track with the carts. Carefully setting it down and getting in the front cart. Reuben jumped into it after her.

Jesse stood behind the carts pushing them before jumping into the back, as they began riding the track once more.
