Upgrade (MCSM)

Chapter 2: Voices

"Awww yeahhhh! In your faces!" Petra playfully taunted, waving her arms in the air. Jesse gave a sarcastic 'grr'

"PETRA, PETRA!" Petra yelled before breaking down in laughs.

"Maybe we didn't win.. but that still felt awesome" Jesse panted, doubling over. Fishing a water bottle from her pocket, Amy allowed Jesse breif respite.

"Couldn't agree more" Petra beamed, face turning a slight pink again. Jesse stretched "This mystery better live up to all the hype~"

The strange gurgling sounds seemed closer now.

"Here i come, mystery monster.." Jesse hummed, holding his sword up defensively and stepping forward bit by bit. Amy snorted and ran her hand over the hilt of her axe.

Both edged into the narrow stone passageway, and Jesse was taken aback to see the distinct shape of a... Llama?!

"A LLAMA?" he exclaimed, shocked. Amy, however, screamed and let go of her axe, her yells drowning out what Petra was about to say.

Jesse raised a brow at her and she squealed, eyes bright. "I. Love. Llamas" she whispered, and he snorted, the both of them hopping down.

"-Your owner will be so happy to see you!" Petra breathed, clearly happy. Jesse gave her a blank look even as Amy tugged at his sleeve and let out high pitched noises. "Was this trip just to track down a Llama?" he asked, dissapointed. Petra's ears warmed in embarrassment. "It isn't just a Llama! It's, uh, special! Trasure sniffing!"

Amy began to inch towards the animal, eyes wide and in a non threatening position. "Heeeere Llama llama llama" she cooed. The llama gave her a decidedly odd look.

"The Llama's important, ok!" Petra insisted. "Please, trust me?"

Jesse rolled his eyes. "Yeah yeah, i trust you... Jeez"

"...Thanks" Petra said weakly.

"WOOHOO!" a yell broke through the somber conversation to see Amy squealing as the Llama rapidly licked her face as she tried to pull it's head off.

"IT'S SO GROSS BUT SO CUTE!" Amy giggled. Jesse let a soft smil wash over him. It was rare that Amy was anything other than a brat, and to see her enjoying herself... Well...

When Jesse tried to go near the Llama, it kicked him in the ribs, poofing his chestplate and sending him flying. Petra send him a teasing look. "S'what ya get for having that dork armour"

"Yeah, I'll just have to craft a new one... Dangit" Jesse mumbled, slightly soured. Amy was busy stroking the llama as it gave her a weary gaze.

Trying to grab it again, Jesse yelped as the llama spat on him and ran.

"UGH! YOU GUYS S U C K!" Amy yelled, indicating a line across her neck. "WHY DYA DO THAT???"

Jesse sighed. "We have to catch it, not pet it. C'mon.."

"Hang on, if we wanna follow it we should make a torch. It's dark" Petra suggested amiably. Jesse nodded and approached a crafting table but was stopped by Amy tugging his sleeve and presenting him a torch. "Booya"

"Thanks" Jesse nodded, and the three silently crept down the narrow walkway the llama had dissapeared into.

Spotting the Llama atop a gravel pile, Jesse sighed and began to remove the gravel to bring it down to their level.

However, behind the animal was a soft blue glow coming from a massive opening. "What the-?" Jesse breathed, intrueged. Petra inhaled, amazed.

It looked like a ravine with the top closed off, but it was blue and foggy, and atop a small sand hill lay a green prismarine gauntlet.
