Part 4: A Block and A Hard Place

Everything in the universe, starts out as just a block. What comes of those blocks, is up to those who wield them. And in every block lies the potential to create... or destroy. Our friends have traveled far and wide, in search of The Order of the Stone, and a way to stop the Wither Storm for good. But even well laid plans can go awry. The strong can grow weak, and beloved heroes can fall.

And though some glimmer of hope may remain, the threat to this world, to it's very existence, is far from over.

The Wither Storm was alive, and it had been split into three storms. The survivors were running, but they weren't fast enough. I looked up at the storm in horror.

"W-Where am I? What's going on?" Gabriel asked frantically. "What is all this? And what's that awful smell?"

"The Wither Storm isn't dead, not even close!" I exclaimed.

"The what now?" Gabriel looked at me, confused "Who are you?" Gabriel began to back away from me. Reuben squealed sorrowfully.

"Jesse?! Jesse?! Where are you?!" I heard Axel say frantically. I grabbed Gabriel's hand and ran as fast as I could, Reuben at my side.

"We're over here!" I exclaimed, approaching Axel.

"No way... no way... you found Gabriel?!" Axel asked, shocked.

"Who's Gabriel" he asked. I looked at the Wither Storms, each one had three heads.

"This way!" Axel shouted and he led us to a rock where the group was, well except for Magnus.

"Jesse! You made it!" Olivia exclaimed.

"And... Gabriel?!" Lukas asked.

"Did you say Gabriel?" Petra looked up. The Wither Storm's gaze drifted over the rock we were hiding behind and I gasped.

"Look out!" we all dashed away from the rock, which was now being lifted up by the tractor beams. I looked behind me in terror at the storms and when I finally looked forward I almost ran straight into a group of Enderman who were walking towards the storm. I continued to run and went over to a tree, Soren was there too, looking at the Enderman in fear.

"Those Enderman are running the wrong way! They'll be killed" Soren exclaimed.

"Soren?" I heard Lukas' voice and saw in the corner of my eye him dashing over to me.

"I can't stand by and watch!" Soren added firmly "I'd be condemning them to death!"

"Soren, what do you think you're doing?!" I asked.

"These Enderman are running directly into danger!" Soren replied.

"You're putting us in danger every second you just stand there!" I shouted and Soren looked at me, his eyes full of sorrow, he took one more glance at the Enderman then began to follow us as a Wither Skull came crashing into the tree. I looked towards a few horses who were running away from the storms.

"Jesse! They're falling behind!" I heard Lukas cry and I turned around to see Petra and Axel, Petra's arm was slumped over Axel's shoulder and he did the same and she had a slight limp.

"Axel! You gotta move faster!" I exclaimed.

"She's too sick! This is the best we can do!" Axel replied.

"They're not gonna be able to outrun it! Not on foot!" Lukas added "We gotta find a way to move faster! Or we're all gonna be caught in the tractor beam!" I began to look around for something and then I saw... the horses! There was just enough for everyone.

"Everybody get on!" I exclaimed and we all ran to the horses. Lukas was in front of everyone else. I grabbed a hold of the reins on a white horse with a black mane and leaped on. In the corner of my eye I saw Olivia getting on a dark brown horse with a black mane and Axel jumped on the same one, we were going to have to share horses, Axel was also holding Reuben. In front of me I saw Ellegaard get on a light brown horse and Soren got on the back.

"Hey, what about us?"Petra asked weakly. I looked at her, she and Gabriel didn't have horses.

"Come on, Jesse, we got this!" Lukas exclaimed, he was riding a dark brown horse and it ran up beside me. "We'll take the reins, and they can just hold on."

"I'll take Gabriel!"I told Lukas.

"Then I've got Petra!" Lukas replied. I held my hand out to Gabriel and he slowly reached out and grabbed it and got onto the horse.

"Hold on, this might be a bumpy ride" I told him and the horse took off, making Gabriel cry out in fear.

"Whatever you do, don't look back!" I exclaimed. I heard Axel cry out.

"I looked!" Axel exclaimed. I then saw a hole bunch of mobs who were in the way, I pulled out my sword and slayed a creeper.

"This is the worst ride of my life!" I heard Ellegaard scream.

"Axel! Stop backseat staring!" Olivia exclaimed.

"I can't help it! I'm getting horse sick!" Axel replied

"Jesse! Look out!" Lukas exclaimed and a creeper blew up, but I was fine. "It's gaining on us!"

"We're not gonna make it!" Gabriel exclaimed.

"Just keep it together, Gabriel!" I told him. The Wither's tractor beams made a hole in the ground in front of us.

"Watch out!" Gabriel exclaimed. The horse leaped over the holes with ease. "The monster! It's chasing me!" I felt Gabriel's hand grab my shoulder's tightly.

"It's chasing all of us!" I replied.

"Please! Don't let it come any closer!" Gabriel pleaded.

"I'm trying!" I exclaimed. I ducked a tentacle, then another, and another until I saw a bridge.

"There! We need a ride over that-" the bridge was then destroyed by a Wither Skull "bridge..." a Enderman appeared in front of me and I covered by eyes, I heard the Enderman screech and the Wither's gaze passed over the Enderman and it pulled a block off the Wither, more and more Enderman became hostile and they continued to attack the storm.

"The Enderman! They're slowing it down!" Soren exclaimed.

"Am I seeing Enderman attack a Wither Storm?!" I shouted in disbelief.

"Enderman move blocks it's what they do!" Soren smiled.

"Guys come on!"Olivia exclaimed.

"We gotta build a new one, like right now!" Axel added. I got off the horse and helped the group quickly rebuild a bridge, Soren went ahead and did the arch way, I had no clue why it was so important that he did but he insisted that he wanted to, I rolled by eyes at him. He had rebuild the bridge and continued riding away from the storm.
