247952's Tales Story Part 5

These would be Season 2, but continues as this page starts episode 3.

## Introduction:

Order: Previously on Minecraft Story Mode...

MinecraftWiz: The world can be a very scary place. Villains can be larger than life. And almost impossible to defeat. The stress of saving the world can turn even the best of friends against each other. And not everyone will be your side. Some will try to take adventage of your kindness. But a true hero will know exactly what to do. And will inspire others to do the same. But the scariest thing of all, even for the bravest hero... Is discovering the villain is much closer than you think.

## Chapter 11 Part 1: Discovering The Sunshine Institute

\*Order falls\*

Order: What the heck is this?

Order: Um... where's my stuff?

Order: The gauntlet!

Order: I hope GUiFFi's okay wearing it... I gotta get back, find the Admin. Find my friends!

\*The Junkbox makes sounds\* \*The guest will kindly follow the orange line in the floor to the check-in zone.

Order: Excuse me? Mr. Bisembodied voice? Who are you?

Order: "Follow the orange line in the floor to check-in zone." Yeah, I heard you.

\*The Junkbox makes sounds\* The guest will kindly follow the orange line in the floor to the check-in zone. Or else they get the lava.

Order: Geez, got it! Point made!

Order: Oh, look. An "orange line."

Order: Bedrock...? The Admin said "a place where I'd never see the light of day again." What is this place?

Order: "So, Order, how was your day?"

Order: Oh, it was great. Met a red, glow-y... all-powerful crazy person who trapped me in a near-indestructible cage.

Order: Aaand lava... I'm sure this is leading me to a place full of sunshine and cheer.

\*The Golem appears\*

Order: Ahh!

\*She runs\*

The Warden: Oh, don't mind Big Hank, he's just here to make sure all guests... behave themselves.

The Warden: Let's see let's see let's see. Oh, yes: Order. Welcome to the Sunshine Institute.

\*They go in the Sunshine Institute\*

The Warden: It's a reformatory for people the Admin has found difficult.

The Warden: I'll be your Warden.

Order: So the Admin created this nuthut, too, huh?

The Warden: Of course. The Admin is an endless source of building brillance. Including this beautiful behavioral adjustment retreat center. I'm sure we'll get along just famously. Maybe we'll even be friends, someday.

Order: So, it's a prison?

The Warden: Hey, no. We don't use the "P word" here.

Order: But it is a pris-

The Warden: Let's not challenge authority. The Admin doesn't let us use that word so we don't use that word, understand?

Order: You know he's not here now, right?

The Warden: You never know...

Order: What about my friends? I need to get back, the Admin put his gauntlet on one of them! Who knows what he's making them do...

The Warden: He gave them the gauntlet?! Oh man, lucky them! That means they're the Admin's favorite. Heh. How great would that be... I bet your friend is living it up. Enjoying the high life... right by the Admin's side.

Order: Yeah, you have zero idea what you're saying.

The Warden: Mind that attitude, Order. And if you friends are anything like you... They'll be making their journey to betterment right next to you. I'm sure.

The Warden: Now hang on a tick. I have an another guest on my manifest.

The Warden: Male, grizzled bread, hair is described as "majestic"... Long, long list og alliases here...

Alexspare: Hey! Distract him...

Order: Yeah, that's Alexspare.

\*Alexspare lands on top of him\*

\*Order hits the golem\*

Alexspare: Augh! Oh, Order! Thank goodness I found you! This place...

Order: I know, let's get out of here!

The Warden: Wait, you can't! It's too dangerous! STOP THEM, Associates!

Alexspare: Augh, I can't believe what a mess we're in. And all because I didn't realize Domitron was actually the Admin. Augh! What a mess... Manipulated. Shammed.

Order: Hey, the Admin fooled everyone. Not just you.

Alexspare: But I should've known. I should've been better. And the Admin has GUiFFi too. I don't know how we're going to get out of this one.

SIA1: Hey! Sound the alarm!

Alexsapre: Oh, we don't stand a chance without weapons.

Order: Then we run!

Alexspare: Where?

Order: Wherever they aren't!

The Warden: Stop them! Don't let them reach the Burrows!

\*They avoid everything before they say anything\*

Order: Okay, we've got to figure out where we are. What is that?

\*Spider appears\*

Order: Whoa!

Order: Are those zombies?

Order: Ahhhh! \*She gets on top of them\*

Order: This thing is endless. Alexspare? Alexspare?

Alexspare: Order! Where are you?!

\*She hits the zombie with her arm\*

Order: Gotcha!

\*He hits the other zombie\*

Order: Ow! Really wish I had that Gauntlet right about now.

\*They both get blocked\*

Order: Yeah, maybe not this way.

\*They see an another unknown mob\*

Order: Whoa! What are those thing? A spider? A creeper?

Alexspare: It's the stuff nightmares are made of!

Order: That is unsettling.

\*They realized they're blocked on both sides\*

Order: Of course. Why would there only be one? There's never jsut one.

Order: Oh no oh no oh no!

\*They duck\*

\*They see a Ghast\*

Order: Oh boy... Incoming!

\*They see slime\*

Order: This is getting bonkers.

\*They jump on top of the Slimes\*

Order: Gotcha! Gotcha! Gotcha!

Alexspare: Nice moves.

\*She jumps then knocks the SpiderCreeper\*

Alexspare: Look, Order! We gotta get to the top of that wall!

\*They see ghasts\*

Order: Oh crud.

\*They see a golem\*

Order: Golem--

\*They scream\*

\*They get sent back\*

The Warden: Five minutes and already apprehended in an escape attempt? That is just RUDE. Take this one to Mush Room.

\*Alexspare gets sented away\*

The Warden: And bring that one to my office, now.

\*Order gets sented to the office\*

## Chapter 11 Part 2: In The Warden's Office

The Warden: Close the door, would you?

The Warden: Do as you're told. Go on.

Order: Uh, sure.

\*She closes the door\*

The Warden: Obedient. Good.

The Warden: You and your band of misfits may have hope yet...

Order: Wait, band of misfits?

The Warden: Oh! Let me show you.

\*Order realizes MinecraftWiz and Nurm are getting sent\*

Order: MinecraftWiz! Nurm!

The Warden: You see, here at the Sunshine Institute there are two types of guests: People who made the Admin extra angry, such as yourself and your punch-happy friend down there, And there are people who the Admin sends to make sure the first group will be well-behaved. Your friend with the glasses is surprisingly feistly such a skinny guy.

Order: So long as you don't hurt my friends, I'll be as well-behaved as you want.

The Warden: Oh, good. Show me. Bring up Order's leverage, would you? Skinny guy? Glasses? Funny story- When I first got here I was actually part of the second group. We were just a crazy coupleof griefers. Simpler times.

MW: Ah, no, this place is flithy! Ah! So disorganized! Making me crazy... Order! Oh, I'm so glad you're okay? I was so- hgn- I was so worried! This place is terrible!

Order: Glad I'm okay? I'm just relieved that you're okay.

MW: Aw, you were worried about me?

The Warden: Meet "The Iron Breathtaker." Iron bars to hold the victim in place below, sticky piston above to shove an iron block down over their head...

MW: Oh--guuuuulp-nng--

The Warden: Now, I said before that you could follow in my footsteps, that could start now. Go on and show me how behaved you are. Join the good guys. Work for me as an associate and help bring order to these poor, chaotic individuals.

MW: Don't do it, Order!

\*The Warden decides to torture MW\*

The Warden: What's it going to be? I'd decide quickly.

Order: Okay, I'll do it! Just stop!

The Warden: Aw, that's so great to hear.

\*The Warden decides not to hurt MW\*

MW: That was so dark...

The Warden: Easy there, "Radar," Was it? You just had quite the harrowing experience. But don't worry. Our newest associate will be walking you out.

MW: I don't know how much more of this I can take.

\*MW coughs\*

Order: Don't look at me like that! I did this for you, MW. I'm trying to protect you!

MW: But, no...

Gerald: Well, Order.

Order: Gerald? What, how?

Gerald: While I appreciate you letting out of that ice, I can't let that disrupt the new professional relationship we have now, okay? I'm sure you understand. I knew a day of reckoning would come for my rival.

The Warden: Oh. You two know each other?

Gerald: Oh yes. Our bitter rivalry goes way back.

Order: This place reallyauits you, Gerald. It's cruel, uncomfortable, and nobody likes it!

Gerald: Ooh. You're letting your jealousy get the better of you, Order. Pity. Watch out for this one. Warden. Order plus anything equals trouble. Now C'mon Order, no one wants a sour rival. Be like me! I'm a shining example of success. I've barely arrived and I'm already bossing you around. Isn't it grand? Let's go MW.

MW: Okay...

The Warden: Order's right. Commitment and loyality to the Admin's cause are cornerstones around here. The more friends stick together, the harder they make it for each other. So maybe readjust your concerns. There are bigger sliverfish to fry than friends.

Order: If anyone here needs a friend, It's you, Warden.

The Warden: Ever since The Admin sent me here I--

Order: What are hiding, Warden?

The Warden: Not every prisoner here wears orange, Order...

Gerald: Let's go, rival!

The Warden: That's right, go along, Order! To the Mush Room.

Gerald: Exactly what I was going to suggest! I'll have your job before you know it, Warden.

The Warden: Be careful what you wish for, Gerald...

\*They go in the Mush Room\*

## Chapter 12 Part 1: Free Roam in the Sunshine Institute

Gerald: New arrivals. Show 'em around, would ya? Thanks.

SIA3: Excuse me? Who are you supposed to be?

Gerald: We don't have a problem do we?

SIA3: I need a moment to process.

Order: You have to watch your back with her. She's ruthless.

Gerald: Ta ta, Order. I'll be at my post supervising a more impressive cell block. Don't be too jealous. Ordo. I wouldn't blame you.

\*MW's hungry\*

Order: You okay?

MW: Wish I was. I need something to eat, get my strength back.

SIA3: You're in the right place. Guests make mushroom stew here.

MW: Guess I just need some mushrooms then.

Order: There's one!

SIP4: MUSHROOOOOOOOOM!

\*They fight over the mushrooms\*

MW: I'm gonna starve. Waste away. Poof. No more MinecraftWiz.

Order: You don't have anything in your inventory? You're usually so well prepared.

MW: Usually. Only I showed up here with no food, no goods, no nothing, like everybody else.

Order: I saw Alexspare earlier. He might know what to do.

Order: Poor guy still looks pretty shaken up...

Order: Hey, are you okay, buddy?

MW: Yeah, I'll be fine. Just a little hungry, that's all.

Oxblood: You best not lookin' at me.

Order: Hey.

Oxblood: What do you want, guard?

Order: So, what got you tossed in here?

Oxblood: Nunya business.

Order: Wasn't it embarrassing?

Oxblood: Nunya business.

Order: What if I go frist? There was this gauntlet--

Oxblood: Stop it!

Order: How'd you get that bowl of stew there?

Oxblood: I don't know who told you what, but it's not true, guard. Get outta here. Ever try to escape? Ha. Ha. Like I'm gonna tell a guard.

Order: All right then. That was enlightening sorta, not really.

\*Oxblood sighs\*

Order: \*Looks at SIP2\*

Brick: As the Associate walked up to Brick, she noticed that the lowly prisoner was narrating all her actions.

Order: Uh, yeah. Hi. I'm-

Brick: The Associate didn't have to introduce herself. Brick knew all about the Associate named Order. Order was surpised to learn that the reputation of the the "Wither Slayer," the leader of "the Order of the Stone," had spread so far. Brick was curious what Order though of someone who narrated every action around himself. Brick waited for Order to say something. What would it be, he wondered?

Order: Order approved of Brick and his quirks, Order winked with approval. Like this.

Brick: Brick was happy for the approval, but didn't appreciate Order stealing his thing. I mean, come on, it was his thing first.

Order: So, what are you in here for?

Brick: Brick remembered the day the Admin, annoyed with Brick's constant need to narrate, sent him to the Sunshine Institute to break Brick of the habit. Brick was promised release if he stopped. But nothing will ever break Brick's spirit. He will narrate... forever.

Order: Ever try to get out of here?

Brick: Brick didn't want to tell the Associate, but Brick remembered the punching that came from the others. Oh, the punching. So Brick decided to tell all. Brick knew that the only way out was through the Burrows, a seeningly endless labyrinth filled with monsters and who the heck knows what else. Brick also knew that only one person has ever tried to escape, but Brick never speaks her name.

Order: But-

Brick: Brick will never speak of Prisoner X, so Order never asked again.

Order: I need to get some food. Any tips?

Brick: Brick knows that the prisoners fight over the preciously mushrooms, but Order is an associate. There must be other ways to get food when you work for "the man."

Order: That's it for now. Thanks, Brick.

Brick: You're welcome, Err! Brick told Order, "You're welcome."

\*While the junkbox goes off and the voice is the admin\* I hope you're learning how to be a cooperative champion...

Order: Wait, is that the Admin?

\*Junkbox: You are all here, to be reminded of your potential.

Order: It's a recording? C'mon..

\*Junkbox\* And I hope you will see it in yourself, as I do. Because if you don't, well, we'll cross that bridge if we come to it, 'ey? In the meantime, demonstrate your cooperative potential and you just may become the utimate champion!

Order: \*Looks at the crafting table and saids\* Oof. Now that would be one bland diet.

Order: Hm. I wonder who all those cells belong to..?

Order: Alexspare! Nurm!

\*Nurm's happy\*

Alexspare: Hey Order. Man I'm glad you're okay. When I saw the Admin teleport you know. Well it was. I mean, I know I saw you at the entrance but... No no, I was just...

Order: It's good to see you too, Alexspare. It was scary.

Alexspare: Yeah, I couldn't bear the thought of losing another person. After what happene with not Domitron, and then GUiFFi, and uh...

Order: We're going to stop the Admin, Alexspare. I'm going to get us out of here.

Alexspare: Yeah. Yeah I know you will. Oh, and, uh, you might want to get slim over there something to eat. He's looking a little peaky.

Order: Yeah. I'm working on it. Thank for looking out. Hang tight for now. I'll be back.

\*Nurm knows\*

Rob: Oh, hey there guard friend. You just caught me putting the happy little finishing touches on my happy little painting here...

Order: Whatcha painting?

Rob: I'd so love to paint a happy little mushroom, but none ever stick around long enough for me to paint. I know that you guards don't usually help little old me, but could you build me a happy little mushroom to paint? Here's some wonderful dirt for you to use. If it's not too much trouble, after all.

\*Order builds a mushroom tree\*

Rob: Now that is just lovely. Thank you ever, so much.

\*He paints his painting\*

Rob: Please, you must share your thoughts on my work so far. Don't you hold back now. Honesty's the best policy.

Order: Oh, my gosh, it's great. The chiaroscurc is just impeccable. Truly.

Rob: So happy you like it! And now... I like you. You'll be spared when the bad thoughts come.

Order: Look. I have something important to ask.

Rob: Go ahead.

Order: Any idea how to get some food around here?

Rob: You want some food, huh? Well... Associates talks to associates, so go ask Anthony. He'll know.

Order: Interesting hairdo...

Rob: Oh, It's my Associate friend again.

Order: Hey, Can I ask some questions?

Rob: Um... I'm really busy right now.

Order: What is that guy up to?

Order: Hey, are you bustin' outta here?

SIP5: What? No! Of course not-- I'd never do that!

Order: Definitely not getting back out that way...

Order: So fighting over a tiny handful of mushrooms is the only way they can eat?

Anthony: Yup. Mmm-mmm.

Order: Do guards get cookies?

Anthony: Okay look, I thought you knew. The guards have a delicate supply of ingredients. None of which are approved by the Warden. Take these cocoa beans. I don't have any wheat for you, but... I can tell you who does. He's my source. Don't know why he collects so much wheat, but nobody makes cookies around here without Oxblood.

Order: I met that guy already. He does not like me.

Anthony: It doesn't matter if he likes you. You're an associate. Shake him down.

Order: So, um. I hear you might have some wheat. I need two of 'em.

Oxblood: I don't know who you've been talking to, but it ain't true. Wheat is considered contraband in this facility. And I am nothing, if not a stickler for the rules.

Order: C'mon Oxblood, help me out. My friend needs the food, he's starving.

Oxblood: Like everybody else isn't? You better remember this. I want special treatment from now on.

Order: Yeah, yeah...

Anthony: Hey, c'mere. Wheat and cocca beans. All yours, Order!

SIP2: No way! I've been down here for too long! I can't stand another second!

Order: Whoa!

SIP2: Nothin' personal. I'm just mega, mega hungry.

\*She takes the sword away from him\*

Order: Ha! Gimme that!

SIP2: I'm so sorry, I'm just so hungry.

The Warden: Hello? What's going on in here?  Order. I expect far better from my associates than this.

Anthony: One cookie isn't that big of a deal.

The Warden: And just who does this contraband belong to? Hm?

Anthony: Whew... Heheh.

The Warden: You all know that weapons are strictly forbidden at the Sunshine Institute... So who does this belong to?  You might as well just come out and tell me. It'll be so much easier for everyone. Large Henry won't have to pummel anyone, no one will need to be pummeled...

Order: That guy attacked me with it!

The Warden: Huh. What refreshing honesty!

SIP2: More like what a refreshing lie you mean, you rotten snitch!

The Warden: You know that misbehavior means getting sent down a level. And that means...

\*The Golem takes him away\*

SIP2: No! Not the Zombie Mines! Not the Zombie mines!

The Warden: Yes, perhaps a little time harvesting rotten flesh will teach you something... take him away!

The Warden: Well done, associate. You've successfully apprehended your first contraband. Keep up the good work.

Order: At least now I can make a cookie for MW.

\*Order crafts a cookie\*

Order: Well, it's not much... but hopefully it'll help MW get his strength back.

Order: Here, eat this. Get your strength back.

MW: Thanks, Order. I really appreciate it.

Order: Interesting attitude there, buddy.

MW: I'm gonna have to really step it up. I mean this is prison... So from now on... I'm Prison Radar. I'm gonna get my own mushrooms. Make my own stew. Disregard my bedtime. Break whatever rules I feel like! Within reason!

Order: Hey, That's the spirit, Radar! You look awesome!

MW: Really? Thanks!

MW: Now get outta here, guard. It's time for Prison Radar to show this world what he's made of.

\*The alarms go off\*

MW: That's right! Come at me, dude!

Order: What's going on?

SIA2: PRISONER X HAS ESCAPED! I REPEAT, PRISONER X HAS ESCAPED!

\*Everyone goes to their cells\*

Anthony: All guests, please report to the nearest lounge!

Alexspare: Think that's their cute way of saying "cell."

Anthony: Yup. You should get in one too. you haven't had your Protocol X training yet.

\*They all agree\*

## Chapter 12 Part 2: Ways to get promoted

Order: This place just keeps getting weirder and weirder... "Prisoner X?"

Alexspare: Other inmates were talking about her: Known as a infamous escape artist. Rumor has it she even knows the way through that maze. Most people have never seen her locked up so deep. But everyone's heard of her. And they do talk about her.

Order: That sounds like the sort of person we should get on our side.

Alexspare: Agreed. Someone with that kind of knowledge could be very useful.

Order: But where is she exactly?

Alexspare: She's apparently locked up on the deepest, darkest level of this place- Cell Block X.

Order: Detected a theme with the names...

Alexspare: Yeah, they found their groove and they're sticking with it.

Order: We need to get to Cell Block X...

Alexspare: That Warden seems to have taken a shine to you... Might not be a bad idea to work your way up. Get on his good side. Could be useful. Or a disaster. But hey, only one way to find out, right?

Order: Hmmm. The Warden does seem to like me.

MW: Workin' the joint to our benefit? Prison Radar approves.

Order: Okay, it's a plan. You stay here and rest up. I'm gonna find a way to get us to Cellblock X.

Alexspare: Sounds good. While you do that I'm gonna study this place... Before we're through, I'll know it like the back of my hand.

\*Order gets out the cell\*

Order: But how to get promoted? Hm... That Oxblood guy sure looks suspicious. If I catch hime doing something against the rules, maybe I can get promoted.

\*She uses Oxblood's cell\*

Order: \*Looks at the Wool Wall\* Oh, I know a secret door when I see one.

Order: Let's see what I can do with this.

Order: \*Mines the blocks but notices something\* I think there's another room back there! But how do I get in...

Order: That painting feels out of place.

Order: Secret buttons, nice! Now we're onto something!

Order: Okay, time to see what tall, red, and gruesome is hiding...

Order: Okay, looks like the buttons move the blocks.

Order: \*Presses first and third buttons\*

Order: I did it! Yes! Oops. Now if only someone had been around to see me being this impressive. Hm.

Order: A mooshroom? What the heck are you doing here?

Oxblood: Soundin' to me like I could ask ya the same question.

Order: Gah!

Oxblood: Mind explain' what yer doin' in my most private of spaces? Visitors ain't welcome. And you are most definitely a visitor.

Order: Just looking for Cell Block X, big guy.

Oxblood: Well it ain't here, short stack. If you hadn't notice, you left the hole open. Now get outta my cell before you regret it.

The Warden: Did I hear mooing?!

Oxblood: Oh, come on!

The Warden: Excellent work, new associate. You see, this is how you get promoted. Work your way up. But first, to maintain order. This creature cannot be allowed to undo the balance of the Mush Room. Shear it, would you Order?

Order: But then it'll be a ordinary cow.

The Warden: Yes, y'know, bringing back the balance of the Mush Room. I though that was obvious.

Oxblood: What?! No!

MW: Don't do it, Order!

The Warden: Mm... Not liking your hesitation here, Order...

Oxblood: You can't! You won't!

The Warden: You do want to be promoted... don't you?

Order: Fine. I'll do it.

\*The Warden gives Order Shears\*

Oxblood: I can't watch.

\*She decides to shear nervously\*

Oxblood: Geoff? Geoff. You still recognize me, right buddy? Geoff! GEOFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!

\*Oxblood cries\*

The Warden: That wasn't so hard, now was it? As for you, Order. It's clear you are ready to advance to bigger and better things. You've been promoted to the lower levels. The Zombie Mines.

Gerald: I get to be your boss now. Order. Aren't you the luckiest associate of all? Now get a move on. We don't have all day.

## Chapter 13 Part 1: Zombie Mines

Gerald: Welcome to the Zombie Mines, Order!

Gerald: Every few minutes a million gross zombies spawn, the equally gross prisoners dispacth them, and collect the zombie flesh, which is?

Order: Gross. I get it. But, why?

Gerald: It's all part of the Admin's plan. I, um, y'know I think. To... toughten people up. So, it makes the Admin happy... Then... let's make him happy. Happy!

Order: I can't believe you've actually behind the Admin on all this. That you actually... believe in him.

Gerald: You're just jealous that I'm in good with him and you got tossed into prison. Who knows. Maybe if you work hard enough someday he'll give you a job. I don't know, cleaning up Lluna's climate-controlled Lluna House. Though I supposed now that we're colleagues and all, I shouldn't leave you completely in the dark. Our job is to supervise the guests as they deal with the endless zombie hoardes. Even you couldn't mess this up. Ehh, maybe I should knock on wood.

Order: Makes sense. We are guards after all.

Gerald: That's the spirit! I may have the superior outfit, general demeanor, hairstyle, and sense of modesty, but yes we both still guards! This may not be my dream destination, but at least I'm better off than her?

Order: "Her" who?

Gerald: Prisoner X. You must've heard that alarm before. She was recaptured, but not before talking out a lot of guards. Don't get any ideas, though. Only the Warden's allowed to see her. Now, if you'll excuse me, Lluna and I are off to prove why we're the best associates.

Order: You know the name of the place has "Sun" and "Shine" in it, and this place doesn't have either. "Zombie" and "Despair" might be more accurate words...

Order: Hey, what is this?

SIA1: Oh, the big guy, Oxblood, was down for a while and headbutted the wall? Not sure why. But man, he has a hard head! We just haven't fixed it yet.

Order: There's redstone behind the wall. Hmm... I wonder what it connects to?

Order: There's gotta be a way in but this door won't budge.

SIA1: Hey, don't even bother trying to get in. See those item frames? Only the Admin and the Warden have the right items. And they could be anything! Besides, why would you want into Prisoner X's cell? That's just bonkers. Stay away.

Order: Yeah, what dummy would want that, huh?

SIA1: Prisoner X hates associates most of all. She'd eat you alive if you got in there.

Order: Hmmm... so that redstone leads to this door? If I can bypass the redstone circuit, I can open the door!

Order: What happened? What are you guys doing down here?

MW: We couldn't leave by your lonesome! So we cooked up some trouble and got ourselves sent down, too! We're in this together! So we stick together!

Order: You guys rock. I'm so glad to see you.

MW: Almost as glad as we are to see you. What did you find?

Order: We need to find something to bypass a redstone circuit and get this door open. This will lead us to Prisoner X. She can help us get out of here for good.

Gerald: Order! No fraternizing with the guests!

Alexspare: Well, there is someone in here who came from the outside who may still have a hefty inventory.

Order: Gerald.

Order: Hey, MinecraftWiz. You okay?

MW: That Mush Room... It was intense, huh?

Order: No kidding.

MW: Standing up to the Warden, though? That's my Order through and through!

Order: Thanks, buddy.

MW: But those poor prisoners. No food? Rough stuff. And Gerald? Here? We can't catch a break. But first things first. Let's find this Prisoner X and get out of here.

Carmine: Oh, hey! You want some? Fresh flesh!

Order: Wow, you really like that stuff, huh?

Carmine: Nav...

Order: Oh...

Carmine: I love it! High in protein, high in flavor! Maybe just a little bit poisonous sometimes, but you only live once! You sure you don't want some? Plenty to go around! Just say the word!

Order: What the heck. Sure.

Carmine: You won't regret it! Hahaha!

Gerald: Order, you can't keep socializing with your "guest" friends over there. It's bad form. Gross.

Order: Yeah, about that. I need your help. I need to make a lever. Pronto.

Gerald: Why, exactly? Not that I, y'know, really care. It's probably stupid.

Order: Why do you care? Just help me out for a old time's sake.

Gerald: If it's gonna risk my future as the Admin's partner. I care quite a bit. Not helping you here. No, not risking angering the Admin. I had to really prove myself to get this gig as it is. Not giving it up for you.

Order: He's just using you! How could you not seen that?

Gerald: No, it's mutual. Using each other, I think. Maybe you make some good points, but not enough of them. I have a place here. Respect, y'know, and power, and the works! It's actually very prestigious. Many, many people would love to have this position.

Order: But, look what's doing to Lluna? She hates it here!

Gerald: No, she loves-- Oh okay, yeah she doesn't like it here. Okay, look, maybe this isn't exactly my dream destination.

Gerald: This place is horrible, and I am worried i will never get the smell out of hair. Here's the cobblestone and stick... But you need to help me get outof here. I know we've had of issues... But I also know that you're a hero or whatever. That's not too much, right?

Order: Sure, Gerald, we'd be happy to have you.

Gerald: If you're happy, I'm happy.

Order: No matter how many worlds I see, it always seems to come back to levers...

## Chapter 13 Part 2: Finding GUiFFi

\*Order crafts a lever\*

Order: Okay. Let's do this.

\*Alarms go off\*

SIA1: Zombie wave incoming! Prepare yourself!

\*Order kills the zombies\*

\*She puts in the lever and pushes the lever switch\*

Order: Guys! Come on! Lluna! ...Gerald. You guys too!

SIA1: Don't! Prisoner X will escape!

\*They get caught\*

\*Prisoners go back to their cells\*

Gerald: Oh, no.

Order: What the heck is this?

Alexspare: Nurm! Stay close to me, okay?

Order: Guys...?

\*GUiFFi appears\*

Order: GUiFFi!

\*She gets her sword out\*

Romeo: Of course, it's Order. Why am I not surprised?

Order: Admin.

Romeo: The Warden told me you coming up the associate ladder, not you're trying to disrupt the therapeutic banellies of my zombie mine? What gives? I don't know if you're dense or what, but working somewhere really means you don't do things to actively destroy where you work.

Order: Well, after you came to Beacontown and wrecked everything, it seen like the least I can do.

Romeo: It's terribly rude is what it is.

\*He gets the Warden out\*

The Admin: Ah! Admin! Sir!

Romeo: I'm very disppointed in you, Warden.

The Admin: I'm just a nervous eater. I'm sorry.

Romeo: No, not that. Your "star guard" Order is nothing but a saboteur!

The Warden: You were my greatest hope! You were moving up the ranks. And now you've ruined me! I thought you were following in my footsteps. Trying to reform! Was that all lies?

Romeo: Yeah, sorry about the Warden. But you kind of work for a terrible person.

MW: He doesn't deserve an apology, Order!

Romeo: Oh, for the love of- ENOUGH. I'm through letting you disappoint me. And that goes for you and you and you, and ESPECIALLY you. As for you... I've been looking for an opportunity for you to prove your loyality. To prove your worth as my Champion.

\*Order is forced into the battle\*

Romeo: So. Unless you want to be added to my naughty list, I suggest you pull out your sword, and attack Order. And as for you, Order. Well, don't think I don't believe in fair play. Heh. Heheh. Now we'll have some REAL fun.

MW: No!

\*Nurm gets nervous\*

\*While Order and GUiFFi fight\*

Romeo: I had such high hopes for you, Order. The highest of hopes. You could've been my Champion. But you gave it all away.

\*GUiFFi gets shocked\*

Order: GUiFFi, what are you doing?

GUiFFi: I'm so sorry, Order!

\*While they fight again\*

Romeo: Are you afraid, Order? I'll give over it quick if you are...

\*She decides not to fight with GUiFFi\*

Order: I'm not fighting you.

\*GUiFFi decides to go after her with her sword\*

Order: Serious ouch!

GUiFFi: Zip it, Order. We only got one shot at this. I'm gonna go to the Admin, and then we'll both attack him. Just trust me on this one!

\*She agrees with it and goes after Romeo\*

GUiFFi: Now, Order?

\*They both try to kill Romeo's powers, but it doesn't work.

Romeo: Heh... You're joking right? That's your big idea? Swords can't hurt me!

\*He makes both of them fly\*

Order: Oh oh...

Romeo: Augh... All I asked you to do is fight your friend to the death, and you can't even do that?

\*He tries to mess the place up\*

Romeo: I don't even want you to be my friend anymore. And I don't want you to be my friend either. In fact. As far as I'm concerned. This whole place can burn to the ground!

The Warden: What about Prisoner X? What about all of us?!

Romeo: The Institue remans inescapable, so what do I care? I'm leaving. And I'm never thinking about any of you ever again! Guess I'll just be my own friend now. Can't dwell on the setbacks. Gotta keep looking forward.

Order: What are you doing?! This isn't how you make friends!

Romeo: Oh, I think I know what I'm doing. Heh. I'm gonna have loads of friends soon. After all...

\*He turns into Order\*

Romeo: Everyone loves Order, right?

Order: No.

MW: No way.

\*He takes out the gauntlet so he can put it on his arm\*

Romeo: You coming?

Gerald: I got your back, Order. Trust me. And take care of Lluna for me... Coming, darling Admin!

Romeo: Gerald is just the beginning. Your others friends will fall in line, too. Jessefan1, Steve, Order of the Female Jesse, all of them... Don't worry. I'll take good care of Beacontown.

\*He decides to put Order's gang down\*

\*And his evil laugh\*

Order: He's gone.

MW: Order, we gotta stop him!

Order: GUiFFi!

GUiFFi: I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Alexspare: What? No. You have nothing to apologize for.

Order: Let's hope Prisoner X is really our ticket out of here.

## Chapter 14 Part 1: Finding Xara

Alexspare: Oh, I'm so glad you're all right, GUiFFi.

GUiFFi: After he took me away. I was in this weird place. Time and everything was so strange, It felt like I had been there forever, and I started to worry you'd given up on me.

\*Nurm talks\*

Alexspare: That sounds horrible.

Order: GUiFFi, are you crazy? We would never give up on you.

Alexspare: Yeah, what Order said.

GUiFFi: Well, that's a nice thing for you to say. I saw Beacontown, Order. They were all worried about you. No one knew where you were, or if you were alive. I'm sure the Admin's heading there right now...

MW: Wearing Order's mug to boot! It's freaking messed up, yo.

Alexspare: Yeah, it's true. Identify theft is no joke.

Order: The Admin made a mistake messing with me and I won't let him get away with it.

\*They see Xara's cell\*

GUiFFi: We made it!

Order: Whoa.

Order: Look out!

Alexspare: No Nurmie!

Order: Ohh, that's so not good.

MW: Yeah. Talk about some intense security.

Alexspare: Just stick close to Order, all right? We'll be fine, don't worry!

GUiFFi: Yeah. You guys go on. Get Prisoner X!

Order: If I wanted to imprison the dreaded Prisoner X, that's where I'd do it. I think that's where we need to go.

\*They jump\*

Order: Okay, now all we have to do is cross this conduit, reach the platform, jump down, and not die.

\*Nurm talks\*

Order: Come on. I think we can make that jump.

\*She Jumps\*

Order: You're up next, Nurm.

\*Grabs Nurm\*

Order: Okay, now you Llun-- Seriously. How do you do that?

Order: Let's Jump!

\*Prisoner X's sounds\*

\*Order takes her mask off\*

Order: Whoa!

Xara: Who are you?!

Order: I'm Order. You must be Prisoner X.

Xara: Bold of you to come here,not knowing who you're dealing with. I could shove you right into that lava. And you'd deserve it for being so trusting. So guilble. Just one little push. And sizzle, sizzle, sizzle.

Order: I'm not your enemy. you don't need to threaten me.

Xara: Yes, but it's so much fun to threaten you. I don't get much fun these days.

Order: Look, Prisoner X-

Xara: Xara.

Order: You're supposed to know how to get out of here, right?

Xara: What? Where did you get that idea? No one's ever escaped the Sunshine Institute.

Order: You try to escape all the time. Why would you do that if you didn't know the way out?

Xara: I get bored from time to time. I like to stretch my legs, beat up a few guards. It doesn't mean a thing.

Order: The Admin stole my identify, and he's running around with my face doing gorrible things in my name! I gotta get outta here now!

Xara: Romeo was here? Just now?

Order: Uh, The Admin was, but who's

Xara: Romeo. That his real name. You didn't think "Admin" was his given name, did you? He would want you to think that. Of course he would...

Order: How do you know his real name?

Xara: Oh, we're very old friend. I know his real name, much, much more...You must really be something if you made him so mad. He almost never comes down here in person, except to put the Warden's feet to the fire from time to time.

Order: Well, there is no more Warden. The Admin fired him.

Xara: That's fantastic! We won't have any trouble escaping with that little creep out of the picture.

Order: So now you want to help me?

Xara: Any enemy of Romeo is a friend of mine, I always say. Well, I've never technically said that. But I think it sounds pretty good.

Order: How can I trust you know the way out?

Xara: Oh don't worry. I know the way. I'm the only one who does.

Order: If you know the way, then show me. Let's get out out here.

Xara: Just one problem. This whole room is rigged to explode if I step one foot out of it.

Order: Explode?

Xara: Take a look around. If someone doesn't stand on at least one of these pressure plates on the floor... These sticky pistons will retract. Lava meets TNT, and then the whole place blows up before you can say "kaboom" Hahaha...

Order: That's a stone pressure plate... that means I can't just use a block.

Xara: Oh, it's fine. One of your silly companions can stay behind. The rest of us can go. That's the situation.  That's the only way out.

Order: We're all getting out of here. No one's staying behind!

Xara: Oh, I'm afraid that's quite impossible Order. One of them is going to have to stay.

Xara: I hate to be a wet slime about all of this, but we have to get moving.

Order: I can't just leave them here!

Xara: Then just leave one of them here- As long as one pressure plate is stood upon, the trap won't spring. So, either the villager or the llama must remain behind.

\*Nurm wants to stay behind\*

Order: Nurm, no! You can't do that!

\*Nurm wants too\*

Xara: Oh, come on! We seriously don't have time for this. I'm leaving. If you're interested in escaping the Sunshine Institue alive, I suggest you do the same.

\*Order decides to bring Lluna\*

Order: Are you sure about this, Nurm?

\*Nurm is sure\*

Order: Gerald did ask me to look after her. Come on, Lluna.

\*Nurm talks\*

Order: I promise. We'll be back for you.

\*Nurm is sure\*

Order: How did you...

Xara: My straight Jacket? Oh, that was the easy part. If you're done with your tearful goodbyes, we have a prison to escape from.

\*They get of Xara's cell\*

## Chapter 15 Part 1: Escaping the Sunshine Institute-Ending

GUiFFi: Whoa! Ah, Prisoner X, I presume?

Order: Yeah. Guys, this is Xara. Xara, the guys.

Xara: Hello.

Alexsapre: Uh, where's Nurm?

Xara: Oh, your villager friend offered to take my place so my cell's booby traps wouldn't go off.

Alexspare: What? No... You did that? And you let him?

Order: Nurm did it to save us. You would've been proud of him.

Alexsapre: I mean, of course I would. I always am. Well no matter what it takes, no matter how many heads I have to clobber, I will get him back. And she better be worth it.

Xara: Trust me, I'm worth it.

Xara: Augh, can we get going, or is the reunion still under way?

Order: Yeah, we're going. C'mon.

SIA1: Run for your lives!

SIA2: The guests have escaped their lounges! The Warden's been fired!

SIP1: Whoo hahahaha! Zombie meat is back on the menu!

SIP2: When I find that Warden. I'm gonna make him pay for what he put me through!

Alexspare: Yipes. Wouldn't wanna be the Warden right now. Every prisoner in this place wants to tear him to pieces. He better watch his back. And his front. And his side. Yeah... Lots of watching in his future.

Order: I'm worried about the guy. Whatever happens won't be pretty.

Alexspare: Well, beauty is subjective but, yeah... not gonna be nice.

\*Prisoners escaping\*

Order: Let's see if they left us any weapons.

GUiFFi: Weapons! Sweet, sweet weapons!

Order: I could take the enchanted iron sword, or the diamond sword with no enchantment. the Diamond sword will last longer. But the iron sword is enchanted with Sharpness. Not bad. Hmmm.

\*Order decides to take one with Sharpness\*

Order: Okay, definitely feeling batter with a sword in my hand again.

GUiFFi: Agreed.

MW: What? It's versatile! I don't know much about llama fashion, but that's a good look, Lluna.

Order: Looking good, gang. Now let's--

Oxblood: You jerks better not have taken at the cool weapons before I got to dig through 'em!'

MW: Friends reunited! It's a prison miracle. Even though Geoff is a little different.

Oxblood: I oughta pound you to pulp for what you'v done to Geoffy-poo! Incoming face pound!

\*Oxblood hits Order but misses\*

Xara: Look big, red, and ugly. Maybe you should reconsider your emotions right now.

Oxblood: Prisoner X? Oh jeez. I don't want no trouble. I'm outta here! Come along, Geoff!

Order: That was frighteningly effective.

Xara: Well, not that that's over with... Can we get moving now please?

## Chapter 15 Part 2: Going below the Bedrock-Ending

Xara: The Opening should be just around this corner--

Alexspare: We have a situation here.

The Warden: Back! Back all of you, I say! One more step and it's kaboomsville! Order!

SIP5: Hey, you're wearing a guard's outfit! Well, guards ain't in charge no more! And furthermore, I'm not a fan of guards! So, thusly, you're getting beat up! A bunch.

Order: Oh boy...

Rob: Well, dip my bristles, look who it is. It's my happy, little friend who took a look at my happy, little painting.

The Warden: Order! You freed Prisoner X?! Just when I thought you couldn't ruin my life anymore! What in the world were you THINKING?!

SIP4: Holy crud, it's Prisoner X!

\*Everyone runs away\*

The Warden: I think you've clearly lost your mind! She is bad news. Actually no, she is way worse than bad news.

Order: I need her help. Warden. It's the only way to stop the Admin.

The Warden: Did you know she was once an Admin, too? The Admin had to take her powers away. She tried to destroy him! I promised the Admin I'd never let her free, no matter what. And I'll keep that promise! Even if I need to blow us ALL up to do it!

\*Xara gets angry and kills the Warden with an arrow to the heart\*

\*Everyone gets shocked\*

Rob: Later, tater...

Xara: Why are you just staring at me? It's making me uncomfortable.

Order: So it is true, what he said about you? You were an Admin?

Xara: Well, it's complicated.

Order: We want answers, Xara!

Xara: Fine! Yes! I was an Admin. Ages ago. Romeo took my Admin powers away from me just before he banished me to this pitful prison. But I'm not the villain here. Romeo and his little Warden were the ones who put you down here, not me. So glare in another direction. I'm innocent!

Order: I'm sick of secrets! You should've said something!

Xara: I assumed you wouldn't take the news well. And how right I was.

Order: No more secrets.

Xara: Fine. No more secrets.

Alexspare: There's no way we can trust her now!

MW: Wait, so an Admin can be stripped of their powers?

Xara: Ugh, it's not simple. But yes.

Order: So what do we--

Xara: We don't have time for this! It won't be long before Romeo finds out what's happened down here.

Order: Yeah, I guess we should keep moving.

Xara: Follow me.

\*They go the burrows\*

Alexspare: I'm sorry, Order. But do you really trust her? She's not right in the head.

GUiFFi: Alexspare- you haven't seen what the Admin can do. We need all the help we can get.

Alexspare: But her? Really?

GUiFFi: Do you have any other ex-admins in your inventory?

Order: GUiFFi's right. We need Xara's help. It's the only way.

Alexspare: I just hope you're not making a serious mistake getting involved with another admin.

Xara: Romeo did always love creating new nightmares at every opportunity!

Order: Gah, run!

GUiFFi: Yep!

Alexspare: Way ahead of you!

MW: Seriously, what's with these monsters?! They're all glowing! They're pretty scary-looking, Order...

Order: Then let's be scarier.

\*They all get swords out and Order takes the zombies\*

\*Order decides to help GUiFFi\*

Alexspare: How many these things are there?

Order: Never just one! Never!

\*Order helps Alexspare\*

Alexspare: Nice work!

Order: Thanks, Alexspare!

\*everything is happening\*

Alexspare: Skillful. Impressive.

Xara: Less talking, more stabbing!

\*Order kills all the spiders with her sword\*

Order: Uh, Xara?

\*Order avoids the arrow from Xara to kill the spider\*

Order: Thanks, I guess? Come on! Not the Llama!

\*She decides to help Lluna\*

\*Lluna kills the spider to the ground before it lands on order\*

MW: Order!

\*Order decides to help MW\*

Order: MW, give me a boost!

\*Order kills the spider and then waits for the right time to land on the ground\*

\*Order decides to kill the zombies before she lands on the ground\*

MW: That was amazing!

\*Order decides to kill the Spidercreeper\*

Order: Let's get out of here!

Xara: Ha! Nice shortcut. Come on.

MW: I tell you what, she is as crazy as a hopped-up ocelot.

Alexspare: Oh, yeah!

Xara: No, no. It wasn't like this before, we've-- there's got a be a way.

MW: Xara, are you alright there?

Xara: Just, ugh, shut up and let me think!

Alexspare: See? I told you we shouldn't trusted her! Now we're lost!

Xara: I said let me think!

Alexspare: "Think," or make something up?

Xara: Ugh!

Order: Aw, Come on she didn't get lost on purpose!

Xara: No, no I didn't. Thanks Order.

Xara: Wait! We can just build to the top of the wall and get to the other side that way.

Order: Sounds good to me.

\*They are building\*

Xara: What do you know... There it is!

Order: Wait, where are going?

GUiFFi: She ditched us!

\*A unknown mob appears\*

Order: Guys! Don't come up there!

Alexspare: What? Why?

\*It shoots a fireball\*

Alexspare: Okay, got it!

\*She knocks the fireball with the sword\*

Order: A three-headed ghast? Why would the Admin create that?!

\*She fights the ghast\*

\*She runs while the ghasts fire at the three-headed ghast\*

Order: They're starting to attack the big one!

\*1 minute later\*

Order: I think it's its weak point!

\*She jumps and then kills the ghast\*

GUiFFi: That was insane! Order, you're amazing!

Alexspare: Heh, that was unbelieveable! Nice!

Order: Oh, that? It's just my perfect reflexes and photographic muscle memory.

Order: Well, there it is guys; our ticket out of here.

MW: That is sparkly.

Alexspare: the sparkliest.

GUiFFi: Is that diamond?

Xara: Arrgh! Where is everyone?!

GUiFFi: That lunatic is gonna be inventory if she's not careful!

Alexspare: So?

MW: We should lend her a hand, shouldn't we?

GUiFFi: But, she sounds like she's in trouble.

Alexspare: We need to worry about ourselves, GUiFFi. I'm not letting another Admin gets its claws on anybody. Plus the tower's right there.

Order: We're not abandoing her. I told her I'd help her escape. time to prove it. We can't just leave her- Come on!

Alexspare: Ugh, I can't believe were doing this.

\*Order helps Xara\*

Order: Xara! Come on!

Xara: you came back.

Order: I said I'd get you out didn't I? Now show us the way.

Xara: I know you didn't have to do that. I apperciate it.

Order: Let's go.

Xara: I'm not a very trusting person. Romeo betrayed me. I have trouble getting along with others. I'm not much of a "people person" anymore. If I ever really was, it's gone now.

Order: Your welcome, Xara. I will do it again. It's the right thing to do.

Xara: There's something else you should know. There was a third Admin, named Fred.

Order: Where is he?

Xara: Dead. He and I fought Romeo for control of the world. We lost.

Alexspare: Uh, where's the rest of it?

GUiFFi: Yeah! How are we supposed to escape? This doesn't even go up that far!

Xara: That's because we're not going up. We're going down.

GUiFFi: Down? There is no "down." We're standing on bedrock. You can't go any lower.

Xara: You might think so. But that's where we need to go below the bedrock!

Alexspare: Everybody knows there's nothing under the bedrock except nothing! And also certain death.

Xara: We're not at the bottom of the world! It only appears that way!

Order: I really do wanna believe you.

Xara: Then believe me.

Alexspare: I'd rather take my chances in the maze than listen to any more of her lies. Any of you are welcome to join me.

Order: That's crazy talk, all those monsters!

Alexspare: I don't care! She's an Admin! An Admin killed Domitron, then stole his identify, and then...

Xara: Remember I told you he took my admin powers away? Well, down there lies the secret to taking Romeo's powers from HIM. Forever. Fred, the third Admin discovered it.

\*They see monsters\*

Xara: Order, help me dig through this tower.

\*She decides to help\*

Xara: See! I told you! These stairs lead to our salvation.

Order: Now there's a good reason to get a move on.

\*Everyone agrees and they go down to see an Giant Enderman\*

### A special ending:

Romeo: I can't let anyone run around disguised as me, or my friends. The amount of chaos they could cause is... well, it's unthinkable. That's why I summoned you. Track them down. Make sure they're behaving themselves. Man, oh geez. Run, run, run Order... as fast as you can. Hahahaha!

## Introduction:

Order: Previously on Minecraft Story Mode...

Minecraftwiz: "The Admin" A villian who can become anyone with the wave of his hand. How do you face a foe who's never exactly as he seems? Do you hide who you really are? Not everyone can face a trickster head on. Some join him. Others put on a brave face, even when they're scared. No matter what, encountering that kind of evil changes you. It can turn you into a hero. Or something else. If there's a lesson to be learned, it's be careful when you get close to an Admin. You never know what might happen if you dig too deep.

## Chapter 16 Part 1: Discoveries Below the Bedrock

Order: Do we have everyone? Everybody safe?

Alexspare: Yeah, everyone except Nurm. Can't believe you left him behind for some useless llama.

MW: She's not some "useless llama."

Alexspare: Looks pretty useless to me.

MW: Stop it. You're hurting her feelings!

Alexspare: She can't understand a word I'm saying.

Order: Come on, Alexspare. Give Lluna a chance! She can be a big help if you let her.

Alexspare: I'll believe it when I see it!

\*They look at the world\*

Order: Wow, you were right... there's a whole world down here.

Xara: The first world, created by us. Romeo, Fred, and me. Haven't seen it since I was imprisoned. Before he bedrocked over it all.

MW: You made this?

Xara: Not this shadow.

Order: This place doesn't look very friendly or welcoming.

Xara: Used to be, but now? Guess we're gonna find out together. I knew what Romeo planned to do, but still seeing it like this...

MW: "Romeo?"

Order: "Admin."

MW: Ohh...

Xara: It's worst than imagined.

\*Looks at the room where Romeo killed Fred\*

Xara: This is the room where he killed Fred. I watched it happen. We refused to join him, and-- It was slow.

Order: You watched your friend die. That's awful.

Xara: Does have a life-altering ring to it, doesn't it. But I had those memories to keep me warm for all that time in prison.

Xara: Fred's Keep is that way. Wanna defeat Romeo? The weapon's in there.

Order: That sounded vaguely ominous.

GUiFFi: Is that?-

MW: That is the biggest Endermen I ever seem!

Xara: Romeo never could leave well-enough alone. He liked toying with the basic order of things.

\*The Giant Enderman appears and Order ducks\*

MW: It would be great if I could go one day. Just one day, without seeing something new and completely terrifying!

Alexspare: So that thing is another Admin-created monstrosity.

Order: Time to move, guys.

\*Everyone does except for MW\*

\*MW looks at the Enderman\*

MW: So mesmerizing...

\*Order ducks with MW to avoid the Enderman\*

Order: Not in the eyes, MW! Don't look at its eyes!

\*They get hurt\*

MW: I don't know what happened it was just hypnotic. So big and glowy...

Order: Go, go!

MW: Going! Ahhh!

Order: Ahhh!

\*Order falls to the ground\*

\*Lluna helps her\*

Order: Thank you, Lluna.

\*Lluna says your welcome\*

\*Weird sounds up the tower\*

Alexspare: It's dismantling the tower!

\*Order jumps 3 times to get out of here and same for everyone else\*

Xara: My town isn't far from here. I'll lead the way. Fred's Keep lies just on the other side. And we'll have some cover from that thing.

\*They get out of here\*

\*Order notices something\*

Order: What? Did you guys see...?

GUiFFi: Order, we gonna go.

\*The rest of scene\*

## Chapter 16 Part 2: The Oasis

MW: I mean, y'know, not asking for me... Cause I'm tough. Whatever.

Xara: Our defenses are impressive. State of the art machinery, automated farming, The Oasis is a completely self-sustaining city. It's home?

\*Xara looks at the Oasis\*

Xara: What? What happened to it?

MW: Are you okay?

Order: I'm so sorry. I can only imagine if I saw Beacontown like this...

Xara: Save your pity.

GUiFFi: Wait, this is your town?

Xara: What has he done to it? Hang on... I just need to see if it's still here...

Order: We have to keep moving. No telling what the Admin is up to in Beacontown and they'll all think it's me...

Alexspare: Ugh, get out of here, you walking carpet. Eat yourself!

Order: You okay there, Alexspare?

Alexspare: No. This dumb stack of wool won't leave me alone.

\*Lluna notices\*

Alexspare: Disgusting spit everywhere, not good for anything... No useful skills. Can't make maps... No sense of humor. Terrible conversationlist.

Order: I don't think the prolem is with Lluna, Alexspare.

Alexspare: What?

Order: Don't you think this might be because you miss Nurm?

Alexspare: Yeah, you're probably right... Sorry, Lluna.

\*Lluna accepts it\*

Order: We will get Nurm back, Alexspare. I don't know how yet...But we're not going to forget him.

Alexspare: Yeah, I appreciate that, Order.

Xara: Years without sleep! Years! Only rest is at home. "Won't rest until I get there." I said!

Order: Xara?

Xara: Augh! \*throws a torch\* Look at this! My bed... Gone.

MW: She's freaking out about a bed? Really?

GUiFFi: Could she be any more melodramatic?

Xara: Ahhhh!

GUiFFi: Wow.

Order: Come on guys, be nice.

GUiFFi: I'm being nice as possible.

MW: No, you're right. Sorry, Order.

Xara: I just want to sleep. I thought if I could find this one thing still whole... There's no hope for this place. I'll never get it back now. He made sure.

Order: I know you're upset, but you can sleep once we've defeated The Admin. That has to come first.

Xara: So simple for you. eyes not dried out... stuck open.

MW: Gross.

\*She walks away\*

Order: What are you doing over there by this portal?

Xara: Yeah, but it is broken like everything else. Just leave me here. Go.

Order: Don't lose hope, okay. We can still do this. If you let us.

Xara: I doubt that.

Order: What about the portal? Where does it go, anyway?

Xara: Nowhere obviously. It's broken. We built these so we could visit each other. An object in the frame would teleport you to the owner. My idea, by the way. Though Romeo took credit for it. Fred wanted to add the birch. He loved birch.

Order: So you'd know how to rebuild it and get us up to the Admin.

Xara: I don't know if I can.

Order: Come on, Xara. If you built it once, you can build it again. you're the best inventor in the Underneath!

Xara: Probably the only inventor now.

Order: Even better?

Xara: You don't get it? How do you keep going? Look where you are. But you're still fighting.

Order: The Admin hurt the people I care about. Nobody gets away with that. Ever. So I'm finding that weapon, and I'm going to take him down.

Xara: Fine. It won't work without a personal object. Something with a strong bond to Romeo to take us right to him. Through an object crafted on the surface could do in a pinch.

Order: Let me worry about finding an object for the portal. You just focus on getting it running.

Xara: Follow the tracks. They'll lead you to Fred's Keep. Whatever Fred found, he hid it at home. That's what he told me.

GUiFFi: Order!

\*Spiders appear\*

Xara: Go. I'll see what I can do.

\*Order goes to fight the spiders with her sword\*

Order: Xara said to follow the tracks to Fred's Keep. That's where we'll find the weapon.

Alexspare: Kind of useless unless we can find a way out of here. Can't exactly go back up through that prison.

Order: Xara's got that covered.

\*Hears more mobs\*

Order: Great. Just what this place needed.

\*Order decides to kill the creepers\*

Order: I never say no to a little gunpowder.

Order: Close one. Fred's Keep, here we come!

GUiFFi: Uh, Order?

\*MW freaks out\*

Order: Oh no. Who made eye contract with the enderman?!

MW: I'm sorry!

GUiFFi: Go!

## Chapter 16 Part 3: Meeting a new gang

Alexspare: It's okay, we're still okay so long as it doesn't--do that.

Order: Everyone, jump!

\*They all jump\*

\*But Order and Alexspare almost fall\*

Order: Alexspare?

Alexspare: I'm okay?

\*About to fall\*

Alexspare: Whoa! I need to stop saying that!

Porkchop: You two're in a bit of a punch, ain't ya? Smell like a couple of Admin lackeys to me. AKA: Trouble.

PG1: Defintely smells like Admin.

Porkchop: You don't know what an Admin smells like.

PG1: Sure do. Uh, kinda sulfur-y.

Order: Uh, yeah we're kinda stuck here. Can you please help us?

Porkchop: Maybe. Depends really.

PG1: Yeah, depends.

Porkchop: We've been scavenging these lands since the darkness fell, you know what? We can sniff out an outsider when we sniff one. So what're you doing all the way down here, small fry? You lost?

Order: We're here to take down the Admin!

Porkchop: Hahahaha! You're kidding! You can't even make it off this here gravel cliff by yourself! Hahaha! Maybe we help ya. Maybe we just walk away, leave you here to die.

Alexspare: The first one! Pick the first one.

Porkchop: I dunno... seems like a lotta work. Getting down there, pullin' you up.

PG2: Ugh. My arms are tired!

Order: You should help us because it's the right thing to do! If you see someone in trouble you have to do something.

Porkchop: You think any of this down here is right? Hahaha... Right went out the window with the rest of the sky.

PG1: What?

Porkchop: Ah, maybe I do feel a little sorry for you, though.

Porkchop: Here's the deal, folks. Down here we don't do anything for free. Can't really blame us, what with the giant monsters and nothin' growin'. So how 'bout we take your inventory for a spin? Permanently. We're really interested in any weaponry you may have.

Alexspare: A warrior without their sword in a place like this is dead meat!

Porkchop: your friend doesn't look like he's gonna last much longer. What'll it be?

Alexspare: Don't do it, Order. We can find another way.

Porkchop: Your swords, or splat flatter than a lily pad at the bottom of this canyon?

PG2: Yeah! Splat.

Alexspare: Come on, just gotta get some leverage...

Porkchop: Unlike dangles there, I can do this all day. Or night, I s'pose.

\*Order decides to give the sword to Porkchop\*

Order: Here!

Porkchop: And one more makes two.

Alexspare: Fine. But pull me up first!

\*They both get pulled up\*

Alexspare: All right I admit it... That would've been one nasty fall. Thank you.

Porkchop: Those're fine blades. Oh! Now I'm bein' rude. The name's PorkChop. And this here's my crew. The toughest scavengers you'll ever have the pleasure of meeting.

PG1: Hiya.

PG2: Sup!

Porkchoop: Best be careful as you get on your way. You're lookin' a little squishy. \*They laugh\* Seriously, though, watch out! Hahaha- Never know when a cliff'll just jump out at ya! Hahaha... Hahahaha! Boo! You got me! Ahahaha!

Alexspare: You are both clearly disturbed individuals.

Order: Thanks for help.

Porkchop: Thanks to this beauty! Be sure to keep your pockets stuffed for next time, okay?

Porkchop: One last piece of advice? Keep your eyes peeled. You're not alone down here. Good luck, squishies!

\*They go away\*

Order: Great, come on.

GUiFFi: Order! Alexspare, you okay?

Alexspare: I've been better.

GUiFFi: What are you doing? Where's your sword?

Order: Uh...

\*Hears creepers\*

Order: Come on.

## Chapter 17 Part 1: Fred's Keep

Alexspare: Stupid Scavengers, stupid cliffs... this never would've happened if...

GUiFFi: Okay, that's it. What happened down there?

Alexspare: Oh, we got shaken down by a couple scavengers and they took our swords!

MW: Well, at least you're okay, right?

Alexspare: Puh. I guess. Just haven't felt this pathetic since... Well it's been a long time. Now we're got nothing to protect us against a normal enderman, let alone a giant one!

GUiFFi: Well, I mean, it's not the first time we've been seemingly defenseless.

Order: Yeah, I didn't like it either. I'm really sorry, Alexspare.

Alexspare: Well, if we ever see those scavs again, they're gonna be sorry.

Order: Yeah.

Order: Guess this is how they keep the mobs out.

\*They jump on it\*

Cam: STRANGERS! Strangers! Binta!

GUiFFi: What do we do here, Order?

MW: She's still running.

Order: We come in peace, we're not going to hurt you. I promise.

Cam: We've been told about before, Fred believed it. And then he was stabbed at the back!

GUiFFi: Now what?

Cam: I've never seen you before. And I know everyone in the Underneath. Binta!

GUiFFi: She's not coming back, is she?

Order: Someone in there has to knwow where that weapon is. Let's go.

GUiFFi: Careful. They might be well armed... and now they know we're coming.

\*While Binta speaks\*

GUiFFi: They're having a trivia contest? Doesn't that seem a little silly?

MW: Silly!

GUiFFi: They're trapped underground with a bunch of monsters...including a Giant Endermen...Don't they have more important things to worry about?

Order: Oh, man. I love Trivia!

GUiFFi: You do?

MW: Yes! It's so fun! Flexing those brain muscles, taking your mind off the incredible misery in the world crushing down on you every--I mean look at that.

Binta: Welcome to Fred's Keep. My name is Binta. This is the part where you tell me why you're here.

Order: We're looking for a weapon that belonged to Fred. It's supposed to be hidden in his home...

MW: Maybe, we can take a look?

Binta: Fred's House is sacred and locked. No one enters unless they win the contest. No one. It's how we honor Fred. Even I only enter through its doors on special occasions. Most of my townspeople have never even been inside.

Order: You have to help me! This is important!

Binta: I don't have to do anything for you, outsider. The door is locked until the conest is won. No amount of arguing will change that. Fred built this place, made it safe from all the monsters out there. This is his legacy... his final request. I'm not breaking my promise to him. You're welcome to try your luck... see how well you know Fred.

Order: I don't know him very well at all. I've never met him.

Binta: I guess you better researching then, good luck.

GUiFFi: This place is weird.

\*free roam is now\*

Order: You are really cute.

\*Order pets, fake out pretending to have no bone, tig and war, and she plays fetch with Blocco\*

Order: Who's a good dog? You're a good dog!

Order: Oh, man. You are a serious fetch artist.

Order: So that's Fred, huh?

Order: Let me guess... Fred like to paint with his feet?

Wanda: Nope! Hurt my painting hands going out into the wilds beyond the Keep -- nasty stuff out there. Should've listened. Not safe to wander. S'why no one ever leaves. Taught myself to paint like this, but these old dogs aren't up to crafting. How 'bout we made a trade? You craft me a canvas and I'll tell you old Fred's favorite color! You know, I got some wool, but not enough sticks. You'll have to find some more to get it done. Get that done prompt-like! I'm on a roll! And this one's almost finished.

Order: You got it.

Order: Hey there. I'm looking for infromation about Fred.

Willy: Well, this here was Fred's cherished pet- but you'll never guess his name. Never! You stay in there now. Don't want that dog gettin' you now, do we?

Order: How do I get him to call out that chicken's name?

Alexspare: The creepers never even stood a chance. The leader of Dresh-Najell Valley was not an emotional man, but that day... That day he shed a tear.

Order: That's one way to gather information, I guess.

\*MW makes his moves\*

MW: Hyah! Like water... kah! In a bucket... ha! Becomes the bucket...

Order: Nice moves, Order. You've been practicing.

MW: Aha, thanks. I didn't know you were, huh... Just wanna be ready. Anyway, the Oasis and Fred's Keep are all kinda broken, but I wonder what this place looked like before. Bet it was amazing. The Admin's not gonna do this to Beacontown, is he? We have no idea what he's doing up there. It could be all gone. We have no idea.

Order: It's up to us to protect them. We're the only thing standing between them and the Admin.

MW: And, we will make sure nothing bad happens to them. Look, if there's one thing I learned in the slammer, it's that I have to keep my body ready for anything!

MW: Hng... One! Hng... Two... hng-- and a half! Hey Lluna! Come gimme Weight resistance, you know? Hng... oh boy... hng... Ahaha, oh baby, feel that burn, ooh, feel it, I'm feelin' it... feelin' it...

Order: Could get some sticks from this thing.

\*She grabs the sticks\*

Order: I can definitely use these.

Order: So...

Kent: So you're the one. The one who thinks they can beat me as a Faithful Friend of Fred.

Order: Hey, dude.

Kent: But I'll tell you something, stranger. I am the most faithful friend of fred. Which means I always win. And that means you will lose. So good luck!

Order: I don't know what to do with that one.

Order: Hi.

Hilda: Oh, you wanna know something about Fred?

Order: Uh, yeah, actually. How did you--

Hilda: His favorite tool? A diamond hoe. S'why I use two. and why I tak farming my mushrooms super seriously. For serious.

Order: Cool. Makes sense.

Order: Bye.

Order: What are you up to?

GUiFFi: Just trying to figure out if there's a better way into Fred's house, then studying just in case. Do you think MW still thinks... I don't know. I feel like everyone's looking at me differently. He's being weird with me. Like he thinks I'm still with the Admin or something.

Order: Hey, I know you better than anyone, right? You're still the same GUiFFi you've always been.

GUiFFi: Haha, Hard-headed? Thanks, Order. That makes me feel better. Just had to make sure I wasn't the only one who noticed.

\*Order punches the sticks\*

Order: Nice!

Order: Hey there little guy. I've got a game for you. Okay, you see that chicken? He loves playing chase. Go get him!

\*Blooco agrees\*

Willy: Dog! What are you-- ah, no, Waffles! Waffles come back! Come back!

Order: Waffles, huh?

Willy: Fine, you got me. It's Waffles, all right? Chicken could never make a decision... poor fella.

\*Order decides to craft a painting\*

Order: Here you go, all done.

Wanda: It's just lovely! I'm going to paint this Fred's favorite color. Not just any blue, lapis blue.

Order: Lapis Blue? Same color as my underwear.

Wanda: Mine, too.

\*Order picks up the bone to warn Blooco\*

Binta: Ah! There you are. Are you ready to begin?

Order: I'm ready. Let's do this!

Kent: It's about time!

## Chapter 17 Part 2: Trivia Contest

Binta: Attention, everyone! Let all Faithful Friends of Fred gather, for our competition begins now! Gather 'round everyone! Will the contestants please take the stage! Please welcome reigning champion, Kent! And we have a challenger! Which it is Order!

Kent: That feeling of intimidation? Totally normal. I have that effect on people. Comes from being the best.

Cam: What a pinnacle of intellectual fortitude!

Willy: Kent! Be my best friend!

Order: May the most faithful friend of Fred win.

Kent: Oh, I will.

Binta: For our first question I though we'd mix it up a little. I challenge you to build a faithful representation of our dear Fred!

MW: Yeah! Order's the best at building!

GUiFFi: Not the time. MW!

Binta: Begin!

\*Order builds her own Fred\*

Binta: Yes! Order, it's as if you've known Fred his whole life.

Kent: What? How can you say that? That thing looks nothing like our fallen leader!

Binta: Fred's true spirit didn't lie with his exterior, Kent, but what was underneath. This is his true essence. Though. I must give you points for accuracy. Such painstaking detail. I declare this round... A draw!

Kent: What?

Binta: This was quite possibly the best presentation of Freds in the history of our competiton. Now for the questions... Kent, you will go first.

Kent: Of course.

Binta: What was Fred's favorite food?

Kent: Oh, that's easy. Any truly faithful friend would know that Fred enjoyed bread.

Binta: Correct! Now you, Order. Fred was the loyal fan of the color blue, we all know that. But what kind of blue did he love the most? You time begins now.

MW: C'mon, Order, you can do this.

Order: His favorite color was Lapis Blue!

Binta: That is correct! Well done. Kent, Fred was a man of simple means. But he had one point excess: hid favorite tool. What was it?

Kent: A diamond hoe, obviously.

Binta: Very good! Order. Fred had constant companion. A fine feathery friend. What's was the pet's name?

GUiFFi: We actually met a chicken named Benedict once.

MW: Hahaha-- really?

Order: Fred's pet, his best friend, was named Waffles. For the way he was always waffling.

Binta: That is correct! Order, well done.

Binta: I am rather astounded that the competition continues to be this close. Kent, you might finally lost your title.

\*Kent gets mad\*

Binta: Listen closely, both of you. The final question is one that only the most faithful friend to fred could possibly know. As such it is worth double. Whoever answers this question correctly first will win one night in Fred's House. Of all the trees in the forest, of all the wood we once built our homes with, this was Feed's favorite. What was it?

Kent: Wait, what? No one knows that. Fred didn't play favorites with resources.

Order: It's Birch!

Binta: You... Yes! Yes, birch was Fred's favorite!

MW: That's right! Order won!

GUiFFi: Way to go, Order!

Binta: Congratulations! That was very impressive. I'm sure I'm not the only one surprised by this turn of events. As your prize you will spend one night in Fred's house. Be careful not to disturb its contents. And here are your sleeping garments. The true mark of Fred. Only the champion gets to wear these. It's a very special privilege.

Order: I love them! Thank you.

\*Binta smiles\*

## Chapter 17 Part 3: Fred's House-Plans to go to Romeoburg

Binta: I hope you find what you're looking for.

Order: Kinda cozy.

Order: Okay. If I were a weapon of some sort, where would I be?

Order: Guess blue really is Fred's favorite color. Even the bed's blue.

Order: "The Foundation."

Order: Whoa, half the pages are gone. And the rest... there are a lot of notes.

Order: "Brave New Enderman" by Soren? Definitely not what I'm looking for, but... man.

Order: "Once upon a time there was a little Enderman who was afraid of the dark. All the bigger Endermen taunted him and didn't let him play their Enderman games."

Order: The furnace is empty. No's one used this thing for a long time.

Order: Nothing in here now. Except that button.

Order: \*pushes the button\* It's a secret room.

Order: There's gotta be something down here.

Order: This one is called "The Survivors' Book of Secrets." Okay, secrets are good.

Order: "This book contains the collective knowledge of the Survivors. We're an underground group of survival experts who hae been around since the early days." It goes on. Signed by "The Chief."

Order: Another... book. Great. But it's unmarked. No author.

Order: "I know I had my doubts, but it was worth leaving home. I'm glad I had Xara and Romeo with me." This is Fred's journal! "I don't know what Romeo wants anymore. It hurts. All I wanted was the three of us, together. Maybe we should have never left the cabin." "We weren't just happy there. We were home." Wait... "home?" Then he wasn't talking about here. There's gotta be something in here that say where this cabin is.

Order: Three towns... there's the Oasis there, and the Keep. Third is "Romeoburg." Seriously? What kind of name is "Romeoburg?" No cabin though.

Order: Nothing else in here, maybe the other found something.

\*She exits the house\*

Order: Binta!

Binta: Order, there's something I need to ask you about.

Order: Uh...

Binta: How did you know the answer to that last question? It's not common knowledge. And it was shared with me in great confidence before... Well, before this place was considered "Underneath."

Order: I knew because Xara told me. She knew Fred better than anyone.

Binta: Xara...? As in Fred's Xara? The Xara?

Order: The one and only.

Binta: She hasn't been seen down here in a very long time. You're more impressive than you seen. Maybe they're right after all... maybe you are from above the bedrock. Rumors have been going around since your arrival. Your friend Alexspare spoke of all these lands we've never heard of.

Ordr: Yeah, about that...

Binta: Did you at least find what you were looking for? This "weapon"? I don't know why Fred would have one. But I must admit I'm curious.

Order: Not the weapon exactly, but some promising clues. Romeo, Xara, and Fred had a cabin that they called home. We need to find it.

Cam: Romeo? Did they say Romeo?!

Willy: The Admin?

Order: Yes, the Admin. Right now he's in our town, pretending to be me. We need to stop him. Problem is we don't know where the cabin is.

Binta: I want to help you, but there's something I need from you in return.If you're really from up there, then you must have a way back. Take us with you... above the Bedrock.

Cam: Above? Binta, what are you saying? We don't know what's out there!

Binta: It has to be better than this.

Cam: We're safe here. And if Romeo--

Binta: Romeo trapped us down here. He wants us to stay. I won't give him the satisfaction.

Order: You welcome us in. Of course we'll help you.

Binta: Thank you.

GUiFFi: Sounds like you may have to do some convincing.

Binta: They'll come around. The mycelium on this island has kept the monsters from spawning, and we've been safe so far, but it won't last. Our only chance for a real future is up there.

Order: Xara's repairing the portal that will take us up. If you want to go through, meet us at the Oasis.

Binta: Fred left this to me before he-- The needle points home. When he didn't come back I tried to follow it, but got stopped at the gates to Romeoburg. They've got a massive army, so be careful. Please, take good care of it. You've shown I can trust you to respect Fred's memory. So I know I can trust you with this.

Order: You didn't have to do this. Thank you.

Binta: Your welcome. I'll prepare my people. You take these. Signal us when you're ready and we'll be there.

\*Binta leaves\*

Order: Great, you're here. We've got a new destination, so--

Alexspare: You go on ahead, I'm gonna stay here and see what I can do to help.

GUiFFi: What? No. Alexspare, we have to stick together.

Alexspare: Not this time. We're the best chance they've got to get out. Us and that portal Xara's fixing. I can do some good here. Help Binta convince them.

GUiFFi: Alexspare, what are you talking about? We can't just split up.

Order: You're a good guy, Alexspare. Helping these people is the right thing to do.

Alexspare: Thank you, Order. I hoped you'd see it that way.

GUiFFi: Friends don't leave friends behind.

Alexspare: It won't be for long. Once you get the weapon we'll get outta here. Just like we planned.

GUiFFi: You're not even going to try to let us change your mind, are you?

Alexsapre: No, GUiFFi, I--

GUiFFi: Ugh, whatever.

Order: We'll see you at the Oasis.

Alexspare: When you set off that firework Binta gave you, I'll come running.

\*Lluna spits at Alexspare\*

Alexspare: Ha! Not so funny when someone else does it, huh? Haha, c'mere...

\*They leave Fred's Keep\*

## Chapter 18 Part 1: On the way to the Challenge in Romeoburg

MW: Man, I can't believe Alexspare actually wanted to stay back with those weirdos in Fred's Keep. Can you?

GUiFFi: Ugh. Whatever. I don't even care.

MW: Whaaat? Do you really expect me to believe that?

GUiFFi: Let it go, Ray.

MW: C'mon, we should talk about it if it's bothering you!

GUiFFi: I said let it go.

Order: MW, I would listen if I were you.

MW: Okay, fine. Geez.

GUiFFi: So, what's the compass saying? We still heading the right way?

Order: Hang, lemme check. Seems like we're still on... Track's out! Everybody, brace yourselves!

\*They fall off the minecart\*

MW: Nng, rough ride.

\*Lluna bothers the Compass\*

Order: No! Not for you.

GUiFFi: Man, the track is a complete wreck...

MW: Yeah, what's up with--whoaaaaaah.

GUiFFi: Hey whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa--

\*Order notices something\*

\*Realizes she has no sword so she has to avoid him\*

Order: I don't know who you are, but  you're making a big mistake, masked man.

\*Order realizes she's going to get killed if she doesn't speak\*

Order: C'mon, seriously... who are you?

Ivor: I am a shadow. Sent to eliminate all imposter Orders.

Order: But I am Order!

Ivor: Oh really... Then prove it. Tell me something that only Order would know.

Order: All right... you wanna know something only Order could know? How about the fact that I wear Blue Underwear.

Ivor: Really? If you're trying to make me so uncomfortable. It isn't working. Nope! Sorry! I'm not convinced. Sword time! Say your goodbye, imposter!

Order: All right, I've been super patient with you. But I'm done! If you don't get your dumb sword out of my face this minute, you'll regret it.

Ivor: Ah, yes, I'd know that threatening tone anywhere. You are the real Order!

Order: It can't be...

\*Ivor takes has mask off\*

Order: Ivor?!

Ivor: Yes. It is I. Your friend Ivor... I'm a ninja now, Order!!

MW: --aaat! WHAT?

GUiFFi: -aaat? Yeah what.

Ivor: It all started when I feel through a portal into some sort of strange world. Everything was all white... Master Shadow's domain. He claimed he was a ninja master, a practitioner of the "Shadow Arts." At first I wanted nothing to do with him, he was a very suspicious character. But eventually, after a lot of uncomfortable eye contect, he asked me, to be his pupil! I was confused at first, because he didn't exactly present his credentials or curriculum, but I'm always open to learning! I'm a student of life after all- so I said YES! Before I knew it I was punching trees, cleaning floors... All as part of my so-called "training." At first, it seemed pointless! But after I had punched a forest's worth of trees and cleaned miles and miles of floor, two things become clear...

Ivor: Sometimes, doing menial takss can be an amazing way to learn martial arts. And sometimes, strange old men just like tricking people into doing their housework! Anyway, it all worked out because now I'm a ninja, and my newfound ninja skills helped me find my way to you!

GUiFFi: Are you done? Please be done?

Ivor: Ha! Yes! I suppose I'm doing a lot of talking! I just had a lot to say after all of that "quiet and mysterious" business! It's so good to see you!

GUiFFi: This is insane.

Ivor: Ohh, you know you missed me.

GUiFFi: Nope. Really did not.

Ivor: Not even a little bit? I see a smile!

GUiFFi: nope. I'm not smiling.

Ivor: Not even a teeny smile?

GUiFFi: No.

Ivor: Tenny tiny microscopic iota of a smile?

GUiFFi: ..Fine.

Ivor: KNEW IT.

\*Order decides to hug Ivor

Ivor: Get in here, GUiFFi!

GUiFFi: What? No,no--

MW: So awesome.

GUiFFi: But seriously. What are you doing down here?

Ivor: Let me explain! You see it all started when Harper and I returned from our vacation... We discovered that while we were gone, you had mysteriously vanished after fighting a prismarine giant named "The Admin"...

Order: Right--

Ivor: Only to return, having defeated this "Admin" and taken his amazing powers!

GUiFFi: Wait, what?

MW: Yeah, that's not right.

Order: I mean, you didn't believe it, right?

Ivor: I did at first! How could I not? Looked like you, sounded lik you... Except now you could fly around all had all sorts of cool superpowers! "Order" (aka the Admin) gave me this and told me he had reprogrammed it to find the "fraud" (aka you), but with my new ninja senses... I could tell something wasn't right! Anyone who disagrees, anyone who questions "Order"... disappears.

Order: Oh, they must hate me...

Ivor: It's certainly not helping your reputation, no. But I knew that Order, the real Order would never act like that! That's why I decided to try and use this opportunity to discover the truth. Luckily it worked out, because I would've felt terrible about killing you!

MW: Classic thing to say to your friends.

Ivor: I can tell you're being sarcastic, but you'd be surprised.

GUiFFi: Hm. Yeah.

Order: Wait, if you weren't convinced, you would've KILLED me?

Ivor: The Admin turned everything upside-down, Order! It's very confusing up there! Speaking of whom, I can't spend much more time down here. If I don't get back to the prison soon and report in, The Admin will know that something isn't right.

Order: That's perfect! You can make up a lie and he'll never suspect that I'm actually down here...

Ivor: Which will buy you the time you need to find Fred's weapon!

MW: HOLD ON, how'd you know about that?

Ivor: I'm a ninja. Anyway! That plan is all well and good, but what exactly should I tell the Admin? It needs to be plausible, but dramatic.

GUiFFi: Yeah. Believable, but entertaining.

Ivor: Realistic, but shocking.

GUiFFi: Within the realm of possibility, but against all odds.

Order: Just tell him that I'm still obediently doing my time in the Sunshine Institute.

Ivor: Mm, yes. I'm sure descriptions of your tear-stained cheeks and remorseful eyes will be quite the hit.

GUiFFi: You're a real poet, Ivor.

Ivor: "Ninja." I'm sorry I can't stay longer, but I must go.

Order: Go. We'll see you when we get back to the surface. Oh, wait-- Can I borrow that amulet?

Ivor: Certainly, but why?

\*Lluna tries to grab it but doesn't work\*

Order: Long story involving a portal and a magic frame... But it'll help us get home.

Ivor: Please hurry. It's getting dire up there. SMOKE BOMB! \*He throws a smoke bomb\*

\*Ivor makes a mistake\*

Ivor: You saw nothing.

GUiFFi: We all just saw that, right? I didn't like hallucinate ninja Ivor?

MW: Nuh uh.

GUiFFi: Just when I thought that crusty dude couldn't get any weirder.

Order: and we're ready to roll. Come on guys.

## Chapter 18 Part 2: In Romeoburg

Order: Looks like the compass is pointing right to that building...

MW: Oh, good. It only sounds like there are a few thousand big scary people between us and there.

Val: HALT! You there! What business have you?

Order: I, um, think we need to go into that building behind you.

MW: If that's okay?

Val: Uhh, y'know, it is in fact not okay, okay? Now just, move along, and don't go anywhere near the building or we will sic our army on you.

Soup: Or we'll sic our army on you. Wouldn't want to unleash the force of our army.

Val: And it's a mighty army.

Soup: Mighiest army I know.

Order: Yes, we've heard amazing things about your army. Because... we're the new recruits.

MW: But Order, we're not really--

Soup: Wow, that's great. We should let 'em in. 'Cause we really don't have a--

Val: Shut it. Ahem. We doubt your claims. This is my doubt-y face. Hey! Army! You too, Jeff! Let's take these invaders out!

\*Weird things happening\*

MW: Uhh, that's weird.

Soup: It's not weird. The army just, uhhh took a power nap! Now they're stronger than ever. Yeah, thanks to their nap

Val: Yeah. We're not gonna ask you again, all right? You just skedaddle before our well-rested army makes you regret it!

Soup: They're gearing up.

Val: Yeah, it's the biggest army you've ever heard, right here.

Soup: Nothing is scarier about an army than its SOUND. Yeah...

GUiFFi: Uh, this is so sad.

Order: Was that an audio disk?

Val: You're an audio disk.

Soup: Yeah, what kind of morons would have a jukebox sitting just out of view behind the city's parapets--

Val: Soup! Fine, you have outfoiled us. We don't have an army.

Soup: Yeah, I know, but still can let you in. Sorry.

Val: Really, it's for your own good. That building you're pointing at? That's Romeo's challenge.

Soup: Yeah, it's nothin' more than a death-trap. The worst kind of trap.

Val: Which is why we vowed to keep everyone out. Even relentless travelers like you. I mean, you should thank us for keeping you away from it, okay? We're doing you a solid.

Soup: Yeah! Duh.

Val: "Thank you, Val and Soup, for doing us a soild."

Soup: It's our pleasure, we're kindhearted guards, who do what we can every single day!

Val: Doin' solids, savin' lives.

Soup: Gotta say, it feels good. Real good.

Order: I escaped Romeo's highest security prison. The Sunshine Institute? I think I can handle some little "challenge."

Soup: Whoa, that's hardcore.

Val: Whoa, yeah... Anyone who escape that place? Mad props. Open the gate!

Soup: On it!

Val: No, Soup, the real gate.

Soup: Right! On it!

\*They let Order's Gang in\*

GUiFFi: Whoa, weird llama.

\*the llama comes to Lluna\*

Order: What are they doing?

Soup: Negotiating terms.

Order: Uhh huh.

\*They both spit on Order\*

Order: Ugh.

Val: Oh! You've got a pet llama too.

Order: Yeah, she's my pet. We've got a real bond.

Val: Yeah, so I can see...

GUiFFi: This place is a wasteland.

Soup: Yeah, having a town where everyone enters a mysterious challenge room then never comes out will do that.

MW: I suppose that might effect population levels a little.

Val: We still don't feel good about permitting you in the challenge room, especially unarmed. But we'll trade you some gear if you can build something to scare off future unwanted visitors.

Soup: You know, like a snowman! Or a huge flower!

Val: Just make something that will help us strike fear into the heart of all who would see it. Keep people off our backs.

Soup: Something to give us a little me-time.

\*Order builds a huge flower\*

Val: Oh, wow. That will give me nightmares. Haha. Well done.

Soup: Yes, wonderfully horrifying.

\*They go to a place where they can wear armor\*

MW: Nothing organized. Not alphabetized. Not even sorted by material. This is barbaric.

Soup: This is what we managed to salvage from the goofballs-- uh, I mean residents--who tried entering.

GUiFFi: Treasure sniffing Llama, eh?

\*Lluna finds something and Order goes to find it\*

Order: Let's see what you found, Lluna.

MW: Oooh, that's a beaut!

GUiFFi: Solid sniffin', Lluna.

\*Lluna is happy\*

Soup: How come you didn't sniff that out?

\*Looks at all armors\*

Soup: Don't try to eat armor. Best advince I ever heard.

Soup: Poor goofballs. Cut down in their prime.

Soup: Don't ask me how I come up with the names. Sometimes inspiration just comes to ya, y'know?

Soup: Armor of such fine quality you just wanna crouch and yell, "Please don't hit me!"

Soup: Dangerous, but also damaged so it's more relatable.

Soup: You know, like one trillion outta ten! Yeah!

Soup: 'Cause, It's the seventh... What do you want? Everybody's got off days, you know?

Soup: That was one day when I was like, "Soup, how many straps can you put on that armor?" Turns out a lot, is the answer.

Soup: Um. How 'bout I call this one, the Golden Apple! Yeah, I might just be hungry.

\*Order chooses Golden Apple\*

Order: Now, that is amor fit for a challenge room.

GUiFFi: It's so shiny, you can see yourself defeating the challenge room.

\*They wear armor and take weapons\*

Soup: Aww... Good luck.

Val: Oh, you poor doomed souls.

\*Lluna decides to stay\*

Order: Good thinking, Lluna. We'll be back for you soon.

MW: I hope.

## Chapter 18 Part 3: The Challenge Room

Order: The Cabin must be through that door.

GUiFFi: Agh! What the--?

MW: Those pressure plates release waterfalls upstairs. It's so calculated, so precise. Judging by the multiple pressure plates, there's some complex enginnering behind these walls.

GUiFFi: Wouldn't expect anything less from the guy who made an "icy palace of despair."

Order: I think this was meant for the three friends: Romeo, Xara, and Fred. How do you guys feel about pulling some mystery levers and seeing what happens?

\*They all press the lever\*

Order: Here we go.

\*The voice plays\*

GUiFFi: Wow, the Admin designed all this just for his friends?

\*The voice plays\*

GUiFFi: What are these things?

Order: No idea, but they don't look friendly.

MW: Great. Another golem. This time, made of magna...

\*While the Voice plays Order fights magna slime and great the magna golems into the water\*

GUiFFi: The waterfalls! Order, water turns lava into cobblestone.

Order: Mining time.

\*She mines the golem\*

\*While the voices play they notice its 600 challenges\*

GUiFFi: Uh, what?

\*While the voice plays (stage 2 of 600)

GUiFFi: No way we're making it to stage six hundred.

Order: Three levers got us into this, so...

GUiFFi: So maybe those three levers will stop it!

Order: Come on, MinecraftWiz. Let's bust that machine.

\*They go for it\*

Order: MW, you have to break the machine! I'll cover you!

MW: On it!

\*He gets on the magma\*

MW: Ow! Ooh-- ah-- ohh-- Hot, hot. Very hot!

\*Order shoots the pressure plates with an bow and arrow\*

GUiFFi: Nice shooting, Order!

MW: Come on, come on, come ON! Why don't you come with instructions! \*The pulls the lever again and again until it stops\*

MW: That was too close!

\*While the voice plays (stage 600)

\*Giant Magna Golem shoots everywhere\*

GUiFFi: No one is smiling!

\*While the voice plays\*

MW: This guy has a twisted way of playing with his friends.

Order: Maybe we can bring this one down with water, too.

\*Order tries to find a way through to kill the Giant Magna Golem\*

GUiFFi: MW and I will be the balt.

MW: Aw, fine.

\*She avoids the big punch\*

Order: All right, let's mine him down to size.

\*She mines the arm\*

\*She continues to find a way through to kill the Giant Magna Golem\*

\*She avoids the big punch and continues to mine him down\*

\*Her pickaxe breaks\*

GUiFFi: Well the thing's not a total dummy. Doesn't want anything to do with the waterfalls now, does it?

Order: Broke my pickaxe anyway so I guess it's time for another idea.

MW: We have gunpowder!

All of them: TNT!

MW: Just gotta get some sand and we're set.

Order: Right, good thinking, MW.

GUiFFi: MW, get ready--fire incoming!

\*They avoid him\*

Order: Just need four sand blocks. Quickly.

\*She mines the sand blocks\*

GUiFFi: Hey, Golem! Over here!

\*While Order crafts TNT\*

MW: Come and get me you ugly stack of rocks! Come on, I'm right here!

Order: Sand on all four sides. C'monnnn, craft, craft, craft!

Order: How'm I supposed to light this thing? That might work!

\*She puts the TNT down\*

\*While the voice plays\*

GUiFFi: Yes!

Order: Let's get outta here before we stumble on a hidden stage.

\*Lluna appears\*

Order: How did you... Why do I even keep asking?

## Chapter 19: Fred's Cabin-Ending

### Chapter 19 Part 1: Fred's Cabin

Order: This is the first place down here that looks alive.

MW: Ohhh, ohh, perfect.

\*MW takes a break\*

GUiFFi: I'll meet you over there. I'm gonna go take a look around.

Order: I'm sure this isn't what you thought you were signing up for. Being an intern doesn't usually involve deadly adventures.

MW: Uh, what? Did you say something?

Order: Nope! Nothing.

Order: How are your feet?

MW: Ah, better. Still a little crispy though. Ow, ow, okay. That hurts.

Order: Rest up, MW. You're earned it.

Order: Someone went through a lot of trouble to keep this place whole.

Order: So strange to see flowers growing down here. Someone set up these lamps after the bedrocking.

Order: I wonder if GUiFFi found something.

Order: How's it looking?

GUiFFi: Doesn't seem to be anybody around. Nobody inside. Should be safe. Let's just get that weapon and get out of here.

Order: It's like the one we used to have back at the treehouse. Until you broke it.

GUiFFi: Uh huh.

Order: Remember I used to read all the time? Now I barely do.

GUiFFi: Things change.

Order: Yeah...

\* GUiFFi is sad about something\*

Order: GUiFFi? What's wrong?

GUiFFi: Nothing. It just reminds me of this sad story about puppies. You know me... can't help crying about dumb stuff like that. Puppies, little chickens... Rabbits that can't find carrots... Just gets me every time.

Order: Come on, GUiFFi. You're lying. We both know it.

GUiFFi: No! Puppies just make me really sad, okay?! Fine, it's not the puppies. Doesn't this remind you of anything? Our friends? We used to hang out in that tree house all the time. Now we barely talk. Why does this keep happening? Everyone leaves and I'm just by myself again. I don't know I'm doing wrong. I see them one by one just...leaving.

Order: Not everyone leaves, GUiFFi. I'm not going anywhere.

GUiFFi: Yeah, but maybe that's the problem! What if I want to go somewhere that isn't Beacontown? I'll just be alone again. Steve and OOTFJ are barely around... Who knows how much longer Alexspare's gonna stay with us. Didn't take long for the New Order of the Stone to fell aprar, did it? My fault for thinking it would be different. Held together longer than most. That doesn't make it hurt any less, though.

Order: Just because we have our own lives doesn't mean we aren't friends. We still care about each other.

GUiFFi: They'd be here if they cared. I know this isn't important right now. Let's just find the weapon and get of here.

GUiFFi: Something's not right here.

Order: The beds don't go with the banners?

Order: This one's purple. Very regal.

Order: Red bed. Huh... kinda fun to say.

Order: Always liked the color blue. Something peaceful about it.

Order: Whoa, it's an observer block. What's it looking at? The beds?

Order: Blue for Fred.

Order: That did something.

Order: Red for Romeo.

Order: Purple for Xara.

\*She mines Xara's bed\*

Order: Another one of Fred's journals... "Dear Xara, if you're reading this, I'm already gone. I had this in the one place I knew you would look for it. Fitting the key to ending all this would be here.. where it all started." "This is the key to defeating Romeo..." It says... "potato451."

GUiFFi: "Potato"? That's the weapon? What are we supposed to do with "potato"? That's not a weapon! It's a root vegetable! And not a very good one! I hate potatoes.

Order: Please stop saying potato.

GUiFFi: I should say hashtag "Potato451."

Order: "Take this word of passage and use it at the primary terminal. You can take away his power and end this." "Word of Passage"... Huh. I guess that's the potato.

GUiFFi: "I still have hope for Romeo. He just wanted us to stay together more than anything. I know that's why he's doing this. Maybe I'm being foolish, but I need to know for sure before taking this step. Though I guess if you're here, I got my answer." "Maybe someday we'll be together again. Your friend, always... Fred." I kind of feel bad for them, do you?

Order: Yeah, I feel kind of bad for them, too. This wasn't easy for any of the admins.

GUiFFi: They really cared about each other. Everyone talks about Romeo like he was this controlling monster, but Fred wrote that Romeo just wanted to keep them together more than anything. Isn't that I've been doing? Especially to you? I don't want you to feel forced to keep doing something you don't want to. I don't wanna be that person. Or make you feel scared to tell me the truth.

Order: You are nothing like the Admin. Don't compare yourself to him.

GUiFFi: Even her didn't start out that way. It just got bad. I've been thinking a lot about what you said... About how friendship is my thing, but I don't think I can just stay put, you know. In Beacontown. But I don't want to lose you... You mean a lot of me, Order. I-- More than anyone else, you've been there. And I don't wanna leave if it means... You're my best friend, Order.

Order: I'll be right there with you, GUiFFi. If you think your place is out there, then so is mine.

GUiFFi: Thank you.

Order: I always knew you were a big ol' softy.

GUiFFi: You'll never be able to prove it.

Order: We'll see.

GUiFFi: We'd better get that book back to the portal.

Order: Alright. Let's go stop the Admin. His days of being "Order" are over.

## Chapter 19 Part 2: Finding Xara-Ending

MW: This is it, then.

Order: Time to call the others. We're getting out of here.

\*Order puts the firework down\*

Xara: What do you think you're doing? The portal is hidden for a reason. To keep things away.

Order: We're still missing Alexspare-- and this is how we get him back with us.

Xara: Great. That won't be a burden.

MW: Sounding pretty Admin-ish there, Xara.

Xara: The weapon is what we need. Not bodies to throw at the problem. People just complicate things. Make everything messy. Inefficient.

Order: It takes a village, Xara. You knew that once.

Xara: Right. And then I learned that lesson.

Xara: As you can see, the portal's fully functional. you complete your end?

Order: Yup. I think this should send us home...And there's Fred's "weapon."

Xara: "Potato." Hm.

GUiFFi: Weird, right? I thought it was weird.

Xara: Fred trusted him. He went to Romeo with the best of intentions and was-- Augh! There is no redemption in Romeo, none. Needs to be stoppped-- once and for all. He deserves it. Worse. For this and everything else. It's the only way.

Order: You know that's not what Fred would have wanted.

Xara: No, you're right. But Fred is dead because of his heart. Something else has to be tried.

MW: But heroes are supposed to help people! Not hurt them...

Xara: Romeo deserves what's coming to him. Fred should be avenged. Fred was the best of us, cut down. I can't let it stand.

Order: Going after revenge would make us just like Romeo, Xara. We're better than that.

MW: Yeah!

Xara: Well, I guess we'll have to see if Romeo understands anything but violence. Romeo destroyed my world and I wasn't there to help it. He's stolen it from me. There is no rebuilding. I have nothing now. It's really over. All the things we made.

\*Order gives her her bed\*

Order: Here. I found this, and there are good things left, if you look for them.

Xara: That you would... I'm not used to being wrong. Thank you. But we still need to move forward. All right, let's get this over with. Hand over the trick of yours--

GUiFFi: Uh, Order?

\*Notices a giant Enderman and he destroys the portal\*

MW: That's our way home!

GUiFFi: Oh boy.

Order: Everybody, get out it's way!

MW: It's the Fred folk!

Order: These are not the people from Fred's Keep! Those are mobs! Just wanted we needed.

Xara: To find me a bed when I had been so unhelpful... Go. Mobs don't stand a chance.

\*Order agrees\*

\*Order gets grabbed by the Enderman with the blocks\*

\*Order falls be saves herself\*

MW: Order! Help! Don't let it eat me! I'm really not tasty. I'm not!

\*Spiders in the way\*

GUiFFi: I know that Enderman wouldn't really eat MW, but...

\*Order fights all the mobs\*

MW: No! I will not run anymore! So you just do your worst! \*Order pushes MW out of the way but gets grabbed at she hits it with her sword\*

MW: You let Order go! Don't you have any decency?! It is not cool to go around smashing everything up, making a mess, and grabbing people! Aaaaaaah! EAT THIS!

\*The Enderman drops Order and she gets hit by Alexspare\*

Alexspare: Ha, looks like all my training from Marsh Hoppers of the Har'lang Swamps totally paid off.

Order: Alexspare?

GUiFFi: Alexspare!

Alexspare: Hey, pretty cool right?

Binta: For Fred's Keep! For the future! Fight! \*They fight the mobs\*

Alexspare: Time to let my sword get a taste of monster-hide. It's hungry. Yaaaaah!

Order: We have to repair the building, otherwise that Enderman is never going to leave us alone.

\*They go build, but Order needs her sword and they both build\*

Order: Nothing like a little pressure to make building fun.

Order: Not exactly sure where this'll bring us... but hopefully it'll be close to home. \*She puts the Amulet\*

Order: Everyone! We are leaving!

GUiFFi: Oh, boy. MW...

Alexspare: We're winning for now. But they're not gonna be able to hold that line for much longer. Especially not if that Enderman takes the portal apart. It's bad news.

\*The Giant Enderman chases MW\*

MW: It's after me.

\*The Giant Enderman telports to Fred's people and they run\*

MW: More bad news... I think it likes me! But that means I can be a distraction!

GUiFFi: Uh, yeah, if you wanna be stuck down here.

MW: I know. But if i do that, it'll let everyone get through the portal safe and sound. Yeah! I'll totally lead him away and you guys can make a run for it!

GUiFFi: But that is...

Alexspare: Is pretty darn brave.

Order: MW, you have nothing to prove to us. We know that you're capable.

GUiFFi: Yeah-- Look at how well you did back in Romeo's challenge. You don't have to do this.

MW: It's not about that. It's about doing what's right. No way everyone's getting through the portal with that huge creep hanging around! they'd get left behind.

\*Fred's people need help\*

MW: The Enderman is after me, I can buy you time.

GUiFFi: You're our friend, MW. We're not leaving you down here. We have to stick together.

MW: This is my time, Order. I know it. I have to do this.

\*Order decides to help Fred's People\*

Order: Go for it, MW. I'll see you topside.

MW: Come and get some of this! Oh yeah, that's right! I'm talking about these huge arms!

Order: Has this. And he's giving us an opening. Everyone, now! Kent, come on!

\*While Xara is fighting\*

Kent: You could ask more nicely!

Cam: But, where?!

Alexspare: Anywhere's gotta be better than here!

\*They all go in the portal\*

\*And they fall\*

Order: Ooof. pain everywhere.

GUiFFi: That's it: No more mystery portals, ever.

Alexspare: I'm with the llama.

\*Llama spits\*

\*Fred's people fall as well\*

Binta: Oof... Is everyone all right?

Order: This is the Order's Temple! We did it! We're back!

GUiFFi: MW would be flipping out if he was here right now. "Standing where the great heroes stood! This is amazing!"

Alexspare: Spot on impression.

GUiFFi: I mean, come on, you know he'd be all over historical Order of the Stone sites. He'd probably not want to touch anything. Too scared. It was weeks before he'd touch the Order Hall front door without wearing gloves.

Order: He'll make it back to us. He'll just be a little late.

GUiFFi: Yeah, sure. Bet that'll bother him, too. He's always on time.

Binta: Order, we are endlessly grateful to your friend for what he did for us.

Kent: We'd thank him, if we could. We didn't know if we'd ever see the sky again.

Order: Did you see that?

\*They all go up the building\*

GUiFFi: Okay, somebody tell me I'm losing it. Is that...?

\*They see Beacontown is mess\*

Order: Beacontown.

### A Special ending:

Jessefan1: Order? Man, is it good to see you. Where are the others?

\*realizes it's Romeo\*
