## Plot

Dave and friends keep sailing west. Dave is still sad and depressed over not being able to save the Mirror Universe. He is unable to get happy, even when his friends try to comfort him.

After some time, Captain Nitwit says he has found land. However, the land is actually a tiny island. When Captain Nitwit sails by the island, they see a little illager boy named Chonky and his sister, Ivy, being chased by a huge gray spider. Dave decides to help them, so he shoots the spider with a crossbow, killing it. Chonky and Ivy bring them to their village, Spider Island. They get introduced to the Elder of Spider Island, Elder Gray, who prepares a potato feast in their honor, to the pleasure of Carl. Later, they go to sleep.

The next morning, Carl and Spidroth head off to find what is causing the spiders to attack. Chonky and Ivy follow them, and they take the HMS Nitwit 2.0 over to the other side of the mountain. While on the way, Chonky and Ivy praise a goddess, and they explain that the mountain was said to be a goddess who fell asleep and turned into the mountain. They say that the potato grows really well on the mountain, which is why they have potato feasts during special occasions.

Dave decides to train Chonky and Ivy how to fight. They are practicing with arrows when Chonky accidentally shoots an arrow into a tree, and lots of spiders come out. They hide in their shelter, but the spiders are destroying the walls and would be in the shelter any second. Then, Captain Nitwit has the idea to escape to the Mirror Universe for a while. Dave is reluctant to go there, as it is a constant reminder of his biggest failure, but they still go in there. The plan works, and they get back into the HMS NItwit 2.0 and sial to the other side of the mountain.

Later, they climb up the mountain and see a big cave. Dave decides to go in there, and Carl, Spidroth, Chonky and Ivy follow him. They walk through the cavern when suddenly they see a huge castle. Inside the castle are iron golems harvesting eggs from a spider queen. They want to go across, but there is a lava moat and if they dropped from the ceiling and went into the castle that way, they wouldn't survive the fall. So, Dave decided they would go in the Mirror Universe. Carl would hold the Dimensional Portal Device and teleport himself into the castle with an Ender pearl. However, if he messed up his throw, he would fall into the lava, destroying himself and the Dimensional Portal Device, their only way out. Luckily, Carl does not miss the throw, and he lands in the castle, opening the Mirror Universe portal and letting everyone out.

They go into the castle, only to see that Elder Gray is in charge of the operation! Elder Gray says that pillager gangs are paying her lots of money for spider eggs, and she started the operation to get more money. She commanded some iron golems to kill them, but she and the iron golems were defeated. They bought her back to Spider Island, telling everyone she was secretly a bad guy.

The spiders come over, and they agree that Elder Gray had to be punished for her actions. However, the spiders want her killed. Dave didn't want that to happen, so instead they make her go into the Mirror Universe. Once the spiders go away, Dave lets her back out, and they go back to the HMS Nitwit 2.0 to sail somewhere else.

While on the way, a hologram suddenly appears. The hologram says they are invading the Aether, and shoots TNT at the HMS Nitwit 2.0. The ship is destroyed, and everyone gets separated...
