Into The Game [FINISHED]

21 ✣ Ellegaard the Redstone Engineer

Me, Reuben, Axel, and Magnus had escaped BoomTown and now, we were almost at the temple.

"Okay, just a little farther" I told Magnus.

"Wow, someone really went bonkers with the defenses, huh" Magnus smiled. Some of the broken walls had been covered. A hiss made the group turn their heads. A Creeper approached them but arrows then shot out at it.

"Who goes there?!" It was Lukas "Jesse? Is that you?" he asked.

"Lukas! Did you build all of this?" I replied.

"Well, yeah," Lukas scratched the back of his head "I figured I would try and fortify the place, ya know."

"Nice!" I exclaimed.

"I'm so glad your back!"' Lukas smiled.

"And we brought Magnus!" I told him.

"Fantastic!" he exclaimed.

"Quick! Come on!" Lukas said, opening the door. "You guys are not gonna believe who showed up while you were gone" the group walked in to see a girl leaning up against the wall, it was Petra!

"Petra!" I exclaimed.

"Hey guys, hows it going?" Petra asked weakly. Something seemed a tad strange with Petra but I couldn't put my finger on it. Reuben squealed excitedly and she kneeled down and pet him.

"Petra! You made it!" Axel exclaimed and hugged her.

"It's good to see you too, big guy" Petra told Axel.

"And it's really good to see you, Jesse" Petra looked at me. "Back there in Gabriel's bunker... it got pretty dicy."

"But I don't understand, how'd you escape?" I asked her.

"You pulled me out of the Wither Storm's clutches and I ran, and ran, and ran for the temple, if you hadn't saved me..." Petra paused "Well I owe you everything, Jesse."

"Did the Wither Storm leave anything? Is there anything left of our home?" I asked her.

"It's all a blur, but the Wither Storm left almost nothing behind... everything... was just gone" Petra said solemnly we began to walk further into the temple "It even got Gabriel." I looked to my right at Magnus and he looked at Petra in horror and shock from what he had just heard. We climbed the stairs and entered the room with the map.

"Wow, been a while since I've been in here, whoa" he looked at the map. He turned around and his eyes widened, then narrowed. "What... is... she... doing here?" he asked. I turned around to see Olivia talking to a woman with short brown hair who wore brown, gold, and red armor, it was Ellegaard!

"Call this a hunch, but, do you not like each other?" Petra asked.

"Right, I forgot to mention, Olivia went on a little expedition of her own while you were gone" Lukas told us.

"And this 'Olivia' person, came back with her?!"' he asked angrily "did you know about this?"

"Olivia is a friend of mine, I didn't know she was going off to recruit Ellegaard" I told him. "Magnus, you gotta believe me."

"Well I certainly don't have anything to say to her" Magnus told me.

"Jesse! Jesse! Look! I found Ellegaard!" Olivia exclaimed.

"Just hang on a sec, okay, I'll go figure out whats going on" I told Magnus.

"Good, you do that" Magnus said angrily. I walked over to Olivia.

"Easy now Olivia, lets try and play it cool" Ellegaard told Olivia and then turned to me "So, who are you now, and why did you bring him with you?" she asked me angrily.
