The Redstone Heart (3/5)

(Friendly reminder: these Oneshots will not have any shipping in these. Secondly: I swear I didn't mean to make this last so long XD)

Lukas's PoV

He gripped the table with shaking fingers. "I said no..." he shuddered. However, it felt like his body had a mind of its own. "I-I did what you asked me to PAMA!" he protested as his left eye's vision turned red with static and glitches.

"But I never said I was done with you yet, my pawn." PAMA's voice echoed in his head, growing stronger and stronger as Lukas fought back. "You- you tricked me." he managed to say as his fingers trembled, the last piece of the Heart beating in his hands.

"No one will recognise you Lukas," PAMA said soothingly as he tried to reach for the chip at the back of his head. "I-I won't do your bidding anymore!" But he was too late as PAMA controlled him, anger ruling over fear. Without a word, PAMA forcefully placed the last chip, which was bigger than the others right over where Lukas's own heart was.

There was a loud beep as the chip activated, latching right into him.

And everything faded to black as PAMA took over once again.

Jesse's PoV

A loud explosion echoed throughout the woods, making everyone freeze. "Did you... hear that?" Olivia asked. But no one answered her as the sound of rushing wind swept over them and the entire town, casting everyone into a dark red light.

"What's going on?" Axel asked, taking out his iron sword and a piece of TNT. "Jesse! What's going on?" someone from town asked as he felt that familiar presence. "No... anyone but that." he said, gripping his sword tightly as another loud explosion sounded. There was a sudden ringing sound as Olivia gasped. "There!"

Two beams of light shot out from the woods and into the sky, glowing with harsh red light. "What is that?" Axel asked but Jesse wasted no time.

"Axel, Olivia, get to the sources of the light on the left. I'll take the right." he said and without waiting for a response, Jesse headed into the woods, following the red beam.

************************

He hoped he wasn't too late. And he definitely hoped it wasn't what he thought it was. However that hope vanished as soon as he saw it. A very familiar looking pillar which had a red beam of light shooting into the sky.

Jesse pressed a hand against the pillar, which was hot to the touch, making him immediately pull his hand back. He couldn't climb it, since it was too hot. Jesse didn't have a bucket of water... just great. "Lukas," He turned and suddenly remembered that the blonde was gone...

A lump formed in his throat as he remembered but it's been going on like this for years, with Jesse not being able to accept Lukas's death. He held his breath and slowly let it out, calming his nerves. He had to do this alone then.

No bucket of water... no blocks to pile up and deactivate the strange pillar.. which meant Jesse had to do something else. Unsheathing his diamond sword and pickaxe, he dug both tools into the hard quarts blocks and started to climb up with them.

Soon, his feet started to become uncomfortably hot, and beads of sweat formed on his face. But he had to keep going.. if this was related to... PAMA... Jesse had to keep fighting. He couldn't forgive that stupid computer for making him lose his friend.

He grabbed the top of the pillar and gasped with sudden pain, as he withdrew his hand. He looked down at his hand and saw that it was already blistering from the heat. It wasn't like this the last time... maybe Harper was working with PAMA again... that traitor.
