Chapter 9 - Redstonia
Hey guys, sorry I didn't update last week (well one chapter) but I had a big piece of homework I need to do... Sorry. Anyway if you put in the comments, #Redstonia, then you're right. If you put #BoOmToWn then you're wrong. And If you put #BoOmStonia then you are funny. Enjoy this chapter.
"Redstoneia." Jesse decided after several moments of silence.
"Seriously!! It's bad enough your not taking one of us, but to Nerdstonia!!" Axel protested.
"Axel!! I don't want to hear it!! You two sort out the Temple and me and Lukas will get Ellegaard, then when we come back, we'll get Magnus. Ok?"
"Err Fine!!" Axel moaned.
Jesse slightly giggled then she and Lukas headed to the portal. They went through it and immediately went into the mine-cart. Rueben was in the front, Lukas was at the back and Jesse was in between them. "Wow..." Lukas said after many minutes of silence.
"What?" She asked curiously.
"This place is crazy... It's hard to believe that Petra comes down here all the time."
"I'm pretty sure you said that yesterday." She insisted.
"Well I did but it's true... Sorry I just need to break the silence... I like listening to your voice" He smiled before he realised what he just said. "Um.. I mean... Um.... I think you're very pretty.... I mean... Um... I."
"Thank you Lukas.... Petra was right about you..." She blushed "You are very nice."
It was Lukas' turn to blush as Jesse grabbed his hand, 'accidentally'. Their smiles soon turned into a worried expression as Rueben squealed as a ghast shot a fire ball at them causing them to fly out on to the netherack. (Don't know how to spell it) They landed safely, unfortunately the ghast was heading towards them and the mine-carts were falling down the track. Thankfully Jesse and Lukas noticed. "Oh no... What are we going to do?... The mine-carts are going to fall into the lava." Lukas said as he helped Jesse up and pulled her behind a small hill.
"Ok I have a Sword and a Bow so I'll use one of them to kill the ghast." She said as she got up to kill the ghast but she was stopped by Lukas pulling her back down.
"Jesse don't do-"
"Lukas I'll be fine." she interrupted him before he could finish. "Before I met Olivia and Axel I would sometimes sneak out without Petra noticing."
"Yes but I promised Petra I would look after you, and I'm keeping that promise!!" He said before he once again, realised what he said.
"What!?" She Yelled which caused the ghast to shoot at them "OK you get the mine-carts, I'll kill the Ghast"
Lukas ran to the mine-carts and pulled them up just before it plummeted into the lava, while Jesse killed the ghast. Then they ran into the carts an they were back on track. (No pun intended, lol) "Jesse I-" Lukas attempted to talk to her as she clutched onto her pig.
"Don't Lukas!! Just Don't!! I don't normally get this mad, but I'm sick of being seen as a 'damsel in distress'... I can't believe you agreed to this." She said as she looked to him angrily, her tone then turned from angry to upset. "I was starting to trust you as well..."
For the last five minutes of the journey there was just an awkward silence of both of them sighing sadly. They arrived and ran through the portal, relived that they were finally there after all the drama. "Jesse I really am sorry." Lukas tried to say before Jesse headed through the portal.
"Then why did you agree to it!?" She sassed as she picked up Reuben and headed through the portal.
They headed through only to see Ellegaard talking to a crowd of people. "Citizens of Redstonia! I want you to know that I value and admire everyone of you and your work! It inspires me! But, I am about to go into my Dome of Concentration, where I will attempt to do the impossible. However I will come back when I have successfully created a Command block! And to add to that one of you lucky citizens will have the chance to become my assistant! Till then I will see you later!"
She headed into her Dome and it started Locking up behind her. Jesse, Lukas and Rueben attempted to go into the Dome before it locked up but the stairs closed up and they fell down onto the ground. Jesse was holding onto Rueben and they landed on top of Lukas. "I would feel bad for landing on you, if I wasn't still angry at you." She said getting up and heading to a man who was outside the Dome.
"Well" He added as he quickly got up and ran towards her. "You got me back!! I really am sorry for agreeing to it so take that as your revenge for me agreeing to do that!" He suggested.
"No way. I don't want revenge and if I did I wouldn't see that as it." She said as she headed toward the man.
The Man had dark skin, black hair and a beard and he wore a brown suit and glasses. "Excuse me Mr... Calvin, was it?" She said reading his name tag on his shirt. "We need to speak to Ellegaard it's super Urgent."
"I'm afraid not. Did you not hear her speech? She's on lockdown until she makes her... command block I think it was." He said. "But luckily I'm here. So I can help you, I know I'm not Ellegaard but I can still help you two lovebirds." (Sorry couldn't stop myself)
This surprised them both. "Oh we are NOT a couple!!!" They both said at the same time.
"Oh my mistake." He smiled.
"We need you to sent this to Ellegaard." Jesse said pulling out the amulet. "She'll know what it is about."
He took the amulet and placed it in a water elevator. "That should go straight to her." He said dusting his hands off.
Jesse thanked him and pulled Lukas to the side away from where the man could hear them. "Ok so me living with Olivia has payed off." She said which confused Lukas "The lever that caused the Dome to go on lock down is missing a repeater. If we place another one then you can bet your slime balls that we'll be able to go inside and talk to Ellegaard."
"Ok, so how do we do that?" Lukas asked looking around at everyone's inventions.
"Hm" Jesse thought about her opinions "Maybe someone has a spare on? Ok you talk to that blonde haired girl and I'll talk to that disco looking man."
"Alright, hey look on the bright side, you're not mad at me any more." He stated, hoping it was true.
"I never said that was true." Jesse said walking off.
Jesse looked at the mans invention, it was some sort of disco, cow thing with a lava curtain behind him and he seemed to be dancing on the stage. "Heyyy how's it going? How are you? Here to see the most amazing new entertainment system? It pretty ammmmmmmazzzzing!!!"
"Actually, I was wondering if you had a spare repeater?" Jesse asked.
"No sorry I used the last for my Lava curtain." He said as he walked off the stage. "Some other people might have one but I advise you not to talk two that boy." He said pointing to a school boy. He looked like Axel but he was skinny.
"How come?" Jesse asked.
"Just don't. He's nothing but a thief that causes trouble." He insisted but Jesse didn't listen to him.
When his back was tuned she walked to the boy to talk to him. She saw that his invention was a huge robot made of slime and tons of Redstone making it move, which mesmerised Jesse. "Whoa." She said as the school boy approached her.
"Hey what's up, pretty girl? You hear to see the most amazing machine that your Beautiful eyes can see?" He flirted with her catching her by surprise. (I got this idea from a comic on Deviantart)
"Uh..." She said unsure of what to say next.
"If so then Look no further Miss Beautiful~." He said. "What should I call you?"
"Nothing because I'm not interested." She said.
"Ooh I see your a feisty one but don't feel threatened I'm only being friendly." He smiled as he grabbed her hand a kissed it, it was the first time someone had done that to her and it wasn't pleasant to Jesse.
"Um... Please don't kiss my hand.. I was actually wondering if you had a spare repeater.." She said pulling her hand back.
"No but if I did I would give it to a flower like you." He added.
"Minus the flirting, you're nicer than that man made you out to be." Jesse said "He told the me that you're nothing but a thief that causes trouble."
"Oh did he? Excuse me!" He said walking past her an two the disco man.
They were immediately arguing enough for Jesse to grab the disco mans repeater, which caused the lava to burn the cows. Jesse ran up the the Dome and placed the repeater in its appropriate place, which opened up the Dome. Lukas came running up to Jesse as she grabbed Rueben and started heading up the Dome. "Jesse, wait up." He said from behind her as she was climbing the stairs.
They entered the Dome and saw that there was Redstone contraptions everywhere. "That has to be the most Redstone I've ever seen!!" Jesse stated.
"Tell me about it!!" Lukas added "Seriously please talk to me."
Jesse ignored him and just continued to look for Ellegaard. Normally Jesse wouldn't hold a grudge for longer than a few minutes, unless it's the ocelots, but she was really upset about what Lukas agreed to do. Eventually they found Ellegaard working on the Command Block. "Hi!" Jesse said, which scared her.
"Whoa! Hey! Hi! I didn't see you sneaking up on me- well I guess that's the point. Did Calvin sent you two up? You my new assistants? New assistants with such a cute little pig. That is." She said "Ok blondie can you switch that T-Flop circuit to activate the delivery tubes."
Lukas nodded and headed the the corner. Ellegaard turned to Jesse with a slight smirk on her face. "Is he your Boyfriend?" she asked.
"Wh-What? No um... Actually I'm mad at him right now.." She replied feeling very awkward that Ellegaard the Redstone Engineer was asking her that question.
"Oh ok. Sorry I was just curious. But I know how you feel. When I was in the order Magnus would get on my nerves all the time." Ellegaard related.
"It's still not the same... That reminds me we're actually not your new assistants, we were sent here by Gabrial."
"Gabrial? Wait you're the ones who sent me this?" She pulled out the Amulet from her inventory. "What does he need?"
"The world is being eaten by a Witherstorm. He needs your help to defeat it." Jesse said as Lukas approached them.
"Really? Well you have the Amulet to prove its not a lie so... Wait maybe a command block will defeat it!!" Ellegaard suggested.
"I don't know.." Lukas said.
"Did someone ask for your opinion?" Jesse yelled.
"Look, I know you're mad but please don't be..." He pleaded. "I was just suggesting it because there is a command block in the Witherstorm, it might not work!!"
"I... Didn't even think about that... But there's no harm in trying.." Jesse said.
"Exactly. So let's-" Before Ellegaard could finish what she was saying the ground shook and ripped apart.
It had found them....
