Steve yelped as he fell from 10 meters high and landed on red sand. "Oof," said Steve as he struggled to get up. He dusted off his pants, and he looked around. He was in the middle of a mesa. "Goliath! He is my kingdom pretending to be me! He is probably ruling the kingdom!" thought Steve. He looked down at his right hand. "Oh no the gauntlet! Goliath is using The  Caster's gauntlet. He even unlocked it using my gauntlet," he thought once again. He began to walk around, and then he suddenly realized he had none of his inventory. "What? What happened to my stuff?" he said to himself. "Hazel? Oxin?" he shouted with his hands cupped like a circle on his mouth. He heard no reply. Then, he spotted a zombie roaming around the land. He quickly hid behind a pile of sand and peeked over to see if it went away. "Great. Since I don't have any weapons, I'm unprotected," whispered Steve. He crouched, and sneaky went away. Once he has gotten far enough, he ran until he found someone. Suddenly, he bumped into a zombie while he was running.

 "Ah!" shouted Steve. The zombie punched him, and he fell to the ground. Steve tried to back away, but the zombie reached over and grabbed Steve's arm. It was about to bite Steve's arm, but Steve reached over with his other arm and grabbed a nearby stick, and whacked the stick on the zombie's mouth. He ran away. He stopped in a valley huffing and puffing. "Steve? Is that you?" asked a familiar voice. "Oxin! I'm so glad you found me!" shouted Steve. "Come on! We got to get out of the middle of nowhere!" shouted Oxin. Steve followed Oxin and ran into a cave. "Hey. Where's Hazel asked Steve. "I was about to ask you. It seems like Goliath separated us after he killed our father right in front of us," replied Oxin," Hazel took his gauntlet with her, so I bet she's using it to find us. All I know is that this place isn't our world," replied Oxin. Suddenly, they saw a red flash. "Hazel!" exclaimed Steve. "Come on! I can protect you guys with the gauntlet!" shouted Hazel. They climbed up a hill, and they saw the entire world around them.

 The sky was covered with a black substance, everything looked like a dried-out mesa, and everything was dead the trees, the plants, and even there was lightning when it wasn't even raining. All the rivers were lava. "Where are we?" asked Steve. Suddenly, they were surrounded by zombies, and if they took one more step, they would fall off a cliff. Steve spotted a big building in the distance, but it was so foggy. "Guys! We got to jump off!" shouted Hazel. "What? Are you crazy?" asked Oxin. "Everyone please trust me! Grab each other's hands, and jump off in three, two, one!" shouted Hazel. They jumped off, and they teleported onto land. "You were right!" exclaimed Steve, "I also spotted a building off in the distance. Follow me," replied Steve. They made it closer to the strange building. There were stairs, so they walked up to it. "Whoa, what is this place?" asked Oxin. Suddenly they turned around and saw a Pillager with officer gear walking back and forth. "Hide!" whispered Steve as he waved to Hazel and Oxin. They hid behind some sort of smokestack. "Pillagers? Why are they doing here?" asked Hazel. "I got no idea, but we can get a good view upon that satellite dish," replied Oxin as he pointed to a nearby satellite. They climbed up, and they saw more than just a few pillagers. The entire facility was crawling with pillagers.

 "What is Goliath planning? I see a big mine with a giant drill!" shouted Steve. "I don't know, but I defiantly know that Goliath is planning something bad. Look! I even see the zombie spawners down there!" shouted Oxin. "Shh... I found the entrance to their mine. there is this elevator, but it looks like you need a key card," replied Hazel. "I think I found how to get it, but it won't be easy," replied Steve," we need to grab that keycard from that pillar guard that is passing back and forth. He has one in his pocket," exclaimed Steve. Steve snuck up behind the Pillager and picked up the key card. But a few seconds after Steve took it, he turned around. Steve quickly hid behind a machine and waited for the Pillager to pass by. Once the Pillager looked away, Steve ran back to the satellite.  "There is no way to quickly place the key card in without the guard seeing us," exclaimed Hazel. "Hmm... maybe a distraction?" asked Oxin. "Yeah. We can use the gauntlet to explode something off I the distance, maybe the Pillagers would hear it, and we all can move to the elevator," replied Steve. Hazel shot a laser that exploded off in the distance. "Yes! It seems like all the pillagers have gone towards the sound of the explosion. Come on! We got to go!" shouted Hazel.

 Steve put the key card into the slot next to the elevator. "Um, Steve I think they have figured out that it was a false alarm. Please hurry!" exclaimed Oxin. Steve pressed a button to go down. The pillagers have turned around the corner and spotted Steve, Hazel, and Oxin in the elevator. They all charged towards the elevator, but the door closed just in time. "Phew. That could have been close," replied Steve. Suddenly, alarms started ringing off. 'Oh no! They all know we are in the building!" shouted Hazel. Steve opened the elevator door. Two Pillager guards were standing right at the door. Hazel immediately zapped them. "Change into the guard suits! It will help us sneak in the mine with disguise," replied Hazel. They quickly put on the suits, and they walked into the mine. It had a big drill and 4 cranes next to it. "Oh no! Do you see this ore?" asked Oxin. "Yeah. What about it?" asked Steve. "It is what gauntlets are made out of, and it seems like they have every single type of ore for each elemental gauntlet. Fire gems, water crystals, earth jewels, and wind diamonds! This is bad!" exclaimed Oxin. "Guys. I got an idea of how to ruin their plans. We have to get to the drill, then disable the controls. Then we make some TNT and make a big layer of it without the Pillager guards seeing us. Lastly, we trail a long piece of Redstone wire and connect it to a lever. We pull it, and the TNT explodes leaving none of there gems behind to create the gauntlets," explained Hazel.

 "That should like a good plan. But should we take some of the gems and make gauntlets to protect ourselves? Because this world we are in is crawling with zombies," exclaimed Steve. "Good idea. Take some off these pickaxes I found, and start collecting some of these gems," replied Oxin. They mined at least ten of each gem, and then they took off into the drill. "I think we should just use the gauntlet we already have, and blow up the controls," exclaimed Oxin. "That won't probably be a good idea. It will blow us up in the act!" replied Hazel. Steve just swung his pickaxe onto the control panel. "I guess that works too," replied Oxin. They started looking around the facility to find any TNT. "Hey, I found gun powder! That's a step in the right direction. Right?" asked Steve. "Yup. Now we need sand. Speaking of which... this entire world is made up of sand!" exclaimed Hazel. "But where are we going to get Redstone and a lever? This dimension has no resources from our world," replied Oxin. "I have some Redstone and a lever from mining the drill. Hopefully, it will come in handy," replied Steve. "We can also use the gauntlet to run around the building with swiftness!" replied Hazel. They started zooming around the building placing TNT and hooking them with Redstone wire. Soon, it was all covered up with explosives. "Ready?" asked Steve. "Yup," replied Oxin. Steve pulled the lever, and the TNT exploded.

 "Now what are we going to do?" asked Hazel. "I guess we try to escape this horrible place," replied Steve.
