I flew out of the portal, landing on my face. I knew my face was already bruised up from Soren's punch, yeah, he lied.

"We made it!" I exclaimed. We had just went into The End and came out in one piece. I pushed myself up and rubbed my battered face.

"'Making it' is relative" Soren said and I looked at the only entrance or exit in the room. Monsters began to creep into the room.

"Oh come on!" I exclaimed. Everyone hid on the cracked stone walls. "Not that this isn't a ton of fun but let's grab that Formidi-Bomb and get the heck out of here" I looked to Soren as I dodged a arrow.

"One small problem," Soren pulled out his stone sword "Minuscule" Soren said as he killed a Zombie in one hit. "I haven't actually built I yet" My eyes widened and my head turned to Soren.

"That's a small problem?!" I exclaimed.

"You seem like a person who appreciates stuff that's cool for no reason" Soren told me.

"Thanks?" I said confused.

"Go ahead and throw that lever behind you" Soren pointed to a lever that was near me. I reached out and pulled the lever.

"Hold onto your socks, cause' they're about to get blown off!" Pumpkins fell from the ceiling and onto Iron Golem structures. There were now at least seven golems in the room. After less than a minute all that remained was a single Cave Spider.

"Thad did turn out to be pretty cool!" I exclaimed as we walked out of the End Portal room.

"I wouldn't lie to you, Jesse, oh no, wait a minute, I would, I didn't lie to you, that's what I meant" I smiled and rolled my eyes at the architect's remark. We then entered the the room with all the loot.

"You guys hear that?" Axel questioned.

"Hear what?" I asked fearfully.

"All that stuff whispering 'take me, take me now!'" Axel said and I smiled again.

"I think it's saying 'Olivia should get to take more than Axel, but why? Because she's cooler!'" Olivia giggled.

"It wouldn't hurt to take a few things" I crossed my arms.

"And by 'few' you mean all right?" Axel inquired.

"I'll just fetch the Super TNT, it's right up there!" Soren pointed to a row of shelves that were at a point that was twice as high as an Iron Golem.

"How are you gonna get up there?" I inquired.

"Oh, I have my ways" Soren clapped and two Iron Golems stacked themselves on top of the other. Soren used the golems as a ladder and swiftly to the shelf. "Oh, and feel free to help yourselves, just make sure you keep an eye out for the gunpowder we'll need to make the Formidi Bomb." I walked over to Axel who was sitting down, he looked a little glum.

"Are you in paradise or what?" I asked him.

"Honestly, I'm more in what right now, all this power went straight to my head, and then I got a head rush, and now I'm too overwhelmed to take anything" Axel sighed.

"Stay strong, Axel" I told him.

"I'll try" I then noticed Petra and Lukas, Petra was sitting down with Lukas next to her. I approached them.

"You both doing okay?" I asked. They were silent for a moment.

"It's gotten really bad..." Lukas murmured, I could barely hear him. "Part of me is hoping that when we bomb the Wither Storm, the sickness will just dissipate."

"Would be nice, hmm?" Petra rasped. Looking off in a different direction. She was probably getting tired of everyone fussing over her.

"I'm not so sure thats how it works" I sighed.

"Well, it's not like your a expert on Wither Sickness, I think it could still happen" Lukas replied. A few minutes passed and I had gathered up about enough gunpowder from some chests that were lying around. I noticed a button by a wall and pressed it. A wall opened up to reveal a track with mine carts sitting on it.

"Cool!" I exclaimed "Hey, Soren?"

"Jesse!"

"I think I've got enough gunpowder now" I told the architect who climbed down the golems.

"Good to hear," Soren smiled "And Jesse, I am sorry for not keeping this place as organized as I should, it's very embarrassing," Soren reached into his pocket and pulled out a block. "And this is my Super TNT!" It was a red-orange color and bits on the top glowed.

"Wait, I thought Super TNT was the Formidi Bomb" Olivia said.

"Of course not! They're two completely different words, are they?" Soren asked.

"Let's build us a Formidi Bomb then" I said.

"Yes, lets build away!" Soren exclaimed awkwardly.

"Uh... how do we build a Formidi Bomb, exactly?" I asked "Do we just combine this with gunpowder or what?"

"The crafting recipe is quite simple really, Super TNT in the middle, and gunpowder all around" Soren responded.

"Got it!" I began to reach out to grab the Super TNT but Soren quickly pulled it away.

"No! No! No! No! The ingredients are highly unstable! Even putting them in close proximity is a risk!" Soren exclaimed franticly.

"Okay, we may not have a Formidi-Bomb yet, but we have the ingredients to build one, progress!" I said.

"And now that we have them, we..." Soren cleared his throat "We... I literally don't remember, your gonna have to help me out a little Jesse."

"We're still gonna need Magnus and Ellegaard to use this thing, they must be close" I told Soren. I then saw Enderman teleporting in the Loot Room.

"Oh dear, I was afraid of this, with The End underwater, the Enderman will try to escape" Soren said "Of course, of course, to the mine carts everyone!" we all ran to the mine carts and Soren smiled "I've been waiting ages to say that... to people I mean" we all jumped in the mine carts and Soren closed the door on the Enderman
