Technically this could be called Chapter 21.5 but I'm lazy so Chapter 22 it is-
Anyway here is part two-
Ree I said this was gonna be uploaded quickly- whoops-

~Rainbow Steve's POV~

"Yep," he doesn't say anything else, and when I look up, I see the blue artifact on a pedestal, clearly surrounded by traps.

"How are we going to get it?" he asks, and I look around.

"There's vines! We can swing across them so we don't have to walk through the traps," I explain, and he bites his lip.

"What if they're there to make you think that, but in reality there's a censor so if you pass it, you'll get shot?" he asks, clearly thinking hard about this.

"You're right," I sigh. "How are we going to get in then?"

"We need to go from the ground," he says softly. "Just have to be extremely careful..."

I nod, biting my lip. I take the first steps, slowly heading into the scary looking cave. Blue Steve follows close behind me, and I bite my lip.

"Be careful," he hisses quietly in my ear. I nod, not wanting to die to get the artifact.  We walk across the thin pathway, knowing if we mess up our steps then we'll fall into the lava, and if we hit the pressure plates then we're gone within a minute.

I step over the hidden pressure plate, almost not even seeing it. The only reason I didn't step on it is because Blue Steve somehow managed to see it.

Being near all this lava makes me feel weak, but I continue anyway. "Rainbow.." Blue Steve says softly, and I realize how much the lava is probably effecting him, seeing as I'm only part Blue Steve while he's a full Blue Steve.

"We're almost at the artifact, Blue," I say softly. He nods weakly, and we continue.

After a few more tedious minutes, we finally get to the small island that holds the pedestal the artifact is on. "Now we just need to get back..." I say softly, and Blue Steve bites his lip.

"We can wait a few," I suggest, but he shakes his head.

"Let's keep going before I run out of energy," he says, and I hesitantly nod. We both head back the same way we came in, and my legs feel like they're going to collapse under me.

After around ten minutes, we finally get to the normal land. Blue Steve ends up falling to the ground the second we reach the normal land, finally able to get away from the lava.

"Are you okay..?" I ask quietly, and he nods gently.

"I-I'm fine, I just need to rest for a few minutes..." he says, and I nod.

"After that, we need to find Sabre and the other again..." I say softly, and he nods.

"We will, I promise... just give me five minutes..."

***

After five minutes are up, me and Blue Steve get up, heading back to where we left the group was.

I hope the group found Sabre...

This one was short-
But it was a part two, so- it's fine-
