"Sometimes the spineless are the real heroes."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mitchell sat in a chair, Miranda in one across from him, her wrists cuffed to the table between them. Miranda rolls her eyes.

"Interrogation? Really? You think I'll talk? Because I won't. I thought you were suppose to be smart, yet you are a moron." Miranda snapped. Mitchell stared at her.

"It is either me or Jerome that does this," Mitchell said. Miranda chuckled.

"That teddy bear? Are you kidding right? I bet I could convince him to free me." Miranda said.

"That's not the Jerome I'm referring to. I'm talking about his scarier version." Mitchell said. Miranda loses her smile.

"Okay, how many of those Minecraftians are in this world?" Miranda asks. Mitchell shrugs his shoulders.

"I ain't saying, you aren't the one who is suppose to be asking questions. I am. So tell me about that traitor, I mean Commander Adam." Mitchell said. Miranda rested her arms on the table.

"You know, I'm surprised you guys are so quick to hate him," Miranda said.

"He's working for the Squid King—"

"He was a hero before all this, heroic and good. Don't you find it strange that someone like him who spent his most of his life protecting the people would suddenly turn against them without any warning or sign? You don't find that strange?" She asks. Mitchell rolls his eyes.

"If you are trying to make me feel guilty for that bastard, it isn't working. Why is the Squid King after Minecraftia?" Mitchell asks.

"How do you know he is?"

"I didn't, I'm just asking questions since I've been ordered to not hurt you," Mitchell said. Miranda smiled, she puts her hands on the table, taking off the handcuffs.

"I'm impressed that Ty changed into that monster so fast. I heard he turned into a care bear." Miranda said. Mitchell narrows his eyes at Miranda.

"Answer the damn question, witch," Mitchell said. Miranda rested her chin in her hand.

"You want to hurt me, I can see it in your eyes. You know how to make me cooperate, yet this so-called honor you have newly acquired is in the way. I find that funny, a player like yourself suddenly caring for the people around you. So why don't you skip all this nice crap you are putting on and lets actually start getting where in..well you know your torture methods." Miranda said. She smiled when she saw his hand turn into a fist. Mitchell glared at her. 

"Do. Not. Test. Me." Mitchel growled.  Miranda smiled, she leans back in her seat.

"Nice to see that someone can cage an animal like you--" Mitchell stood instantly, the chair falling backward. The door opens too.

"Mitchell out!" Melissa snapped. Mitchell looked at Seto.

"What--"

"I said, get out before you lose your temper again!" Melissa said. Mitchell looks at Miranda. Miranda smiled at him.

"Your master is calling, Mitchell," Miranda said. Melissa grabs Mitchell's arm and pulls on it.

"Jerome, your turn," Melissa said. Mitchell looks at Melissa.

"If you let me hit her, I would have gotten the answers out of her a long time ago!" Mitchell said. Melissa shakes her head.

"No, I said no violence. Minecraftia Jerome!" Melissa said.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm going." Jerome said walking past Melissa. Melissa looks at Jerome, Mitchell smiles a little at that. Minecraftia Jerome goes into the room, he shuts the door, but then locks it. Miranda looks at Jerome.

"So you're Minecraftia Jerome. At least you aren't a hairy beast." Miranda said. Jerome looks at her.

"No. But I don't take you hurting my friends so kindly as the others." Jerome said moving towards her. "Since you seem to like to insult people, we can either be here bickering or you can tell me what the Squid King has done to Commander Adam." Miranda looked at him confused for a few moments.

"Oh, let me guess. Commander Adam is a saint in Minecraftia? Oh, course his alternate is spineless--" Jerome grabs her shirt, pulling her to her feet, he yanked her close,

"Do you want to finish that sentence? Do not insult Sky in front of me or I'll knock your teeth out. So stay out of my world and start talking about yours." Jerome snapped. Jerome could see a flash of fear in her eyes. He let go of her, pushing her back into the chair. Jerome crosses his arms, Miranda tried to move, but couldn't.

"Wh--" Inshire Seto appeared behind Jerome sitting in the chair with his feet up on the table. Miranda looked at him. "I thought you weren't allowed to interrogate." Seto's hand glows again, a rope appeared around her waist, tying her to the chair, but the ropes go tighter around her as they were outlined in red. Miranda gritted her teeth.

"Um...Scary Seto, don't kill her yet." Jerome said. Seto looked at Jerome.

"Did you just call me Scary Seto?" Seto asks. Jerome looked at him and nodded.

"Yep," Jerome said bluntly. The ropes loosen a little. Jerome looked at her. "Miranda, tell me what the Squid King is planning and I'll make Scary Seto leave." Seto's eyes snapped to Jerome, his hands balled into fists.

"Don't call me that!" Seto snapped.

"You know James?" Miranda asks. Jerome thought for a moment.

"Is this James a wizard? Because I know the one that is in my world." Jerome asks. Miranda nodded.

"Maybe you should ask him why he is opening a bridge between this world and yours. You're the friend, Commander Adam's Minecraftia alternate is the enemy. We were watching for a few months, when we spotted Jason, we knew he had to be the first victim." Miranda said.

"You want Minecraftia," Jerome said.

"So you're smart? That's new. But then again, you aren't that hybrid idiot version of yourself." Miranda said. Jerome rolls his eyes at her. She loses her smile. "Another thing, Commander Adam is just as much as a victim as Jason Star was. James has put him in under a spell, a powerful one, one that changes your morals and views to match whoever the caster is."

"Can that spell be broken?" Jerome asks. Miranda shakes her head.

"The only cure for that spell is death. And with how long he has been under it, you can't save what's not meant to be saved. Commander Adam is a lost cause, you have to kill him if you want to help him." Miranda said. Jerome looks at Seto.

"Can you break that spell?" Jerome asks.

"And why would I do that?" Seto asks. Jerome groans irritated.

"Gooodddd, not only are you scarier than Minecraftia Seto, you are not helping one bit. Minecraftia Seto wouldn't let him stay under control--"

"Than go ask him if he is so much better than me!" Seto shouted getting up as he slammed his hand on the table, his eyes and hands glowing red. "I'm getting tired of you and your friends comparing me to him! Do I look like him?! No! And even if I wanted to help, she's right! You can't fix what's broken beyond repair! Commander Adam has been under that spell for way too long, too long that even if you get him back, he would never ever return to that heroic General he once was. He would turn into a zombie, no emotions or any sense of purpose. He would have to have someone to pull him because he wouldn't be able to himself. If we would have gotten to cure him earlier, there could have been a chance, but there isn't. He's gone, Jerome. You can't save Adam, you have to kill him." Jerome shakes his head.

"That isn't an option," Jerome said.

"Than you will make me have to turn him from being a hero to an empty shell," Seto said. "He would--" Seto stops talking when he hears a beep. He looks at Miranda. "What did you just do?" Miranda smiles.

"Oh..that's just my rescue party," Miranda said. Seto unlocks the door, the door opens and Melissa opens it, holding a flashing green light. Jerome looks at it.

"That's a tracker," Jerome said.

"And Mitch wasn't the only one who had one," Miranda said. Jerome's eyes widen. Melissa looks at Jerome.

"J-Jason," Melissa said.

"And Seto and Mason have one. You b*tch." Jerome said at Miranda. He turns towards her. "Who is coming?!"

"He may be a spineless coward in your world, but here, he's a feared killer. And he won't hesitate to kill you to get to me."Miranda said.

"Adam," Jerome said.

"Seto, cure him!" Melissa said. Seto looks at Melissa.

"This conversation again?! Melissa, I can't--"

"I'll distract him. Mitchell, if you get a shot at Adam, take it. Wound him, don't kill. Wound him enough so we can knock him out" Jerome said. Mitchell groans.

"But that takes the fun out of it," Mitchell said. Jerome's eyes shift to Mitchell.

"If you kill Commander Adam, I'll kill you." Jerome threaten. Mitchell smiled a little.

"I'm not scared of you, Jerome," Mitchell said. Melissa grabs Jerome's arm.

"Jerome, he'll kill you," Melissa said. Jerome shakes his head.

"No, I need to find Jordan and Mitch. Us three know how Minecraftia Adam fights. So Inshire Adam shouldn't be so hard since Sky is the top fighter in Minecraftia." Jerome said. Jordan comes running to the door, he looks at Jerome and them.

"Ian is here!" Jordan said.

"Is Commander Adam?" Seto asks. Jordan shakes his head.

"No, only Ian--"

"He must be going for Jason and them," Jerome said. Melissa looks at Jerome, about to say something, but Jerome stops her. "They'll be fine. Jason and Seto are capable, Mason I'm not so sure would fight but he can protect himself. Come on Mitchell, Jordan." Jerome and Jordan leave, Mitchell following.
