"What is all this stuff?" I asked.

"Soul Sand. It was everywhere in the Nether" Petra said.

"What about the block in the middle?" I asked.

"I've never seen one of these before... I wonder if I could just... take a closer look" Olivia said, walking forward, reaching forward to touch the strange block. "Do you feel that? It's almost pulsing..."

"Olivia, don't touch it!" I shouted and Olivia instantly pulled her hand away.

"I was just curious" She told me.

"Don't forget what we're here for, find that skull" I told her, Olivia nodded. Jesse noticed a chest and he opened it and looked inside in horror and awe.

"So... good news... weird news" I said "I found the skull... but"

"What the heck? Why'd I risk my neck for that skull if he's got two of them already?" Petra asked "he was in such a hurry to get it."

"This is got to be connected somehow" I said "the chest with the skulls was hidden back here with everything else, that's gotta mean something"

"But what?" Petra asked.

"I think whats going on here" Lukas said "Soul Sand, plus three Wither Skulls, that's the recipe for a Wither"

"But... a Wither...thats-"

"One of the worst monsters there is" Lucas interrupted Petra.

"We came down her to find the skull, well we found it" I said.

"We should just grab it, and get out of here, while we still can" Petra said. They heard the doors open.

"Uh guys...?" Lukas said.

"Scatter!" Petra whispered and everybody went in different directions, hiding behind bookshelves or in chests but not before Reuben closed the wall, it looked like no one had touched it.

"Don't you recognize me?" Ivor shouted "or wait... 'surprised to see me?' no that's not good 'thought you were rid of me , didn't you?' that's better." Ivor walked through his hide out and almost found Reuben but Reuben was clever and quickly moved. Olivia peeked over the bookshelves that she was hiding behind and accidentally knocked over a potion. I got out of hiding as Ivor walked away.

"Over here you jerk!" I exclaimed.

"What are you doing here? What did you see?" Ivor asked.

"Leave him alone" Petra told him.

"Yeah, back off pal" Axel said.

"You two?" Ivor glared angrily at them "did you follow me here?"

"You thought you could just screw us over and get away with it, didn't you?" Petra asked.

"We're here to prove you wrong"  I told Ivor.

"What are you going to do about it?" Ivor asked " I have what I earned, and you have exactly what you earned."

"We know what you're doing down here" I told him "Soul Sand and three Wither Skulls? You're building a Wither." Ivor looked down at me in horror for a moment.

"Huh, smarter that you look" Ivor said.

"Hey! Nobody talks to my friends like that! Now shut your mouth, or else" Axel told Ivor.

"Enough! You've wasted too much of my time already" Ivor said. Ivor ran off and we chased after him. He was gone.

"Where'd he go?" Petra asked.

"If you won't leave of your own violation, then i'll happily remove you myself!" Ivor said putting a pumpkin on top of another structure. After a second the blocks formed a big, bulky, Iron Golem. "Show our friends the door, will you?" the Iron Golem stomped forward, swinging it's long arms at me and my friends multiple times. Everyone then dashed out of the room. As we exited the basement a woman was speaking on stage.

"Oh man, this is so exciting!"

"It sure is!" A man who stood next to her exclaimed.

"And now, for the first time ever here at EnderCon! We are very proud to present-"

"The one! The only!"

"Gabriel!" the exclaimed in unison. As Jesse and his friends made their way through the crowd they  listened to the cheering.

"Please, thank you, are... you... with me?!" Gabriel exclaimed.

"Everybody okay?" I asked.

"Um, guys...wheres Lukas?" Olivia asked.

"I though he was right behind me" I said as I looked around.

"Well if he's not here then the only place he could be is..." everyone looked back at the door to the basement.

"He's still down there" I exclaimed.

"Ivors got an Iron Golem and all the ingredients to build a Wither down there, if he were to unleash it in this crowd of people, we have to act fast" Petra said.

"And it just so happens, that the greatest warrior of all time is in this building" Olivia said "we should ask Gabriel for help." "This is the smartest way to help Lukas."

"I'm going after Lukas by myself"
