Minecraft story mode countdown Day: 3 Spoiler alert. Kinda. Just not how’d we thought. Also sorry for the crap quality of this, I finished it at 2:36 am and pretty much gave up at the end. Hence why the shading looks rushed.

MCSM Countdown Day 3

Technically speaking, Axel had the better of the available jobs, but somehow it wasn’t very reassuring when the only two options were to distract the giant, tentacled abomination or to get right in its face with the most powerful bomb to ever come into existence.

The explosives part Axel definitely wouldn’t have minded; he loved explosions. Really any self-respecting Magnus fan would. It was the very real possibility of being pulled up by the creepy purple beams of light and eaten by the monster that he wasn’t particularly fond of. It was still a possibility that it could happen during their distracting, but it still seemed less dangerous than what Jesse was doing.

Although it was clearly with reluctance, Jesse had volunteered to risk her neck with the F-bomb, and who was he to argue? And so he didn’t, and neither did anyone else, despite half the group being The Order of the Stone, a legendary group of heroes. He wouldn’t find out the reason for their seeming lack of heroism until much later, and he had no time to dwell on it now as he was building alongside Magnus, Soren, and Petra as fast as their arms would allow them.

Thing were going well, all things considered, at least until the point when their distractions weren’t enough to keep the focus off Jesse, resulting in her being swept up in one of the monster’s purple beams. In an attempt to pull the attention off her once more, the entire group, unspoken, made the decision to pull together again to work on one build instead the several they’d been doing before. That, too briefly seemed to be going well until one of the many tentacles flailing about the area struck where they were building, sending both Magnus and Ellegaard flying. Axel was incredibly relieved when Magnus quickly got up and rejoined them, not having time to spare a thought about Ellegaard.

Despite being suspended the way she was, Jesse still managed to finish crafting the formidibomb, something Axel’d have to remember to tell her he was impressed by after they saved her life.

Thankfully, Magnus was one step a head of everyone else. No sooner had Jesse finished her crafting did he pull out a fishing rod, casting it in Jesse’s direction. The others needed no prompting, pulling together in a tight group to help him pull their friend to safety. In an instant the bomb went off just as they’d started pulling her back, sending her flying.

Watching Jesse land, Axel decided he really didn’t want to think about what might’ve happened if Magnus hadn’t thought of the fishing rod to pull her away from the blast. As it was, the time she spent face down, un-moving on the ground was nerve-wracking enough, leaving them all uncertain if their rescue mission had even done any good. He wasn’t quite sure how long she stayed like that before she finally started to push herself up. She looked dazed and confused, but she was alive and that was what mattered.

“Oh man, you really had us worried! I mean not me of course, I knew you’d be fine. Everyone else was worried.” He threw out hurriedly. Jesse was a pretty amazing person, it was true, and was able to get herself out of all kinds of scrapes, but truthfully he had been worried for a brief moment that he might lose his best friend. But she was lucky, like she always seemed to be.

“Yeah, sure you did, Axel.” Lukas quipped, but there was no hostility, not from him and not from Axel in return.

“Of course I did, Jesse’s one of the toughest people I know.” And it was true, at least to Axel it was. She may not look like much, but he absolutely believed anyone who underestimated Jesse was making a big mistake, and the events of the past few days only further solidified that belief.

“No arguments here.” There wasn’t time to say much beyond that as their handiwork became more apparent, one of the monster’s giant heads falling to the ground not far from where their group was standing.

“Is that it? Is it over?” Axel asked, turning his attention to the carnage before them. It seemed so unreal that the beast was gone, but the sight of the giant body among the flaming battlefield gave a different impression. It wouldn’t last long, of course, but for the moment it was good, feeling like they’d managed to pull it off, like they didn’t still have so much left to lose.

Day Three

The words slip out, as naturally as they ever do, before Soren has a chance to think about what he's saying. He's never been good at thinking too long, or long at all, before he speaks, something that seems to have only gotten worse.

A side effect of living alone with no real form of verbal communication other than talking to himself and mimicking sounds made by Endermen, undoubtedly.

"Ask me no questions, and I'll tell you no lies."

It's one part poetic, two parts surprisingly harsh reality.

Not that Jesse seems to realize what kind of weight those words hold, how true they are, instead focusing on how it's not much of an answer, and Soren can't be more grateful for it, even as he snaps back at Jesse and gets to giving the golems orders.

Even with news of the end of the world and horrible monsters, as well as the destruction of Soren's laboratory, Jesse's been an absolute delight, especially for the first person to talk to him in years, and maybe that makes the bitter taste in his mouth even nastier.

They're not new words, achingly familiar in all the worst ways and burning in the back of his mind, staying there even as the various mobs are taken care of and even as he starts to loot through his own chests, refusing to be drowned out by his attempts to focus on how unorganized he can be and what a shame that is. Most people would be better about storing their super weapons, after all, and while it's been a while, he should at least have these chests labeled.

He would never consider himself the type of person to have a catchphrase. And he supposes it's not one, not really, he'd have to say it more often for that to be true.

It's a fitting one, though, isn't it?

And while Soren might not say it often, it does seem to pop up at times where, if the people he was talking to knew anything about the real him, it'd be glaringly obvious and maybe even a little funny, in a sad way. He supposes that description could work for who he is in general, and it's hard to let that sort of realization go.

His tongue feels heavy in his mouth, too dry, and it should, poisonous thing that it is.

If they live to tomorrow, if any part of the world makes it, which is the outcome he tries to focus on even with the fear bubbling up in his chest and trying to claw its way out of his throat, it'll be something he can change.

For better or worse, he's always preferred acting to doing nothing, even if what he does makes things worse, and making himself a better person hardly seems so wrong.

After all, this alone brings some sort of end, or pause, to his studies. With the End flooded and his laboratory waterlogged, fixing up everything that's been damaged could take weeks, never mind how long placating the Endermen and letting them return to a passive state could last, if they ever come back, and...

And his friends might not let him go so easily again.

It surprises Soren more than anything that he doesn't want them to, that he wants them to take him back and never let go.

So many people have let go and he's tossed away too many.

He pauses, one hand holding the chest's surprisingly heavy lid open while his other hand stops on top of a small, neatly arranged pile of iron, fingers curled and pushing against the metal, and he tries to ignore the way both hands are shaking as he swallows.

His fingers tremble more as he tries and fails to focus on the background noise that's Jesse talking to some of the others, on Gabriel's cough and what he could possibly have, because his worst enemy has always been himself and his tendency to overthink things and not be able to stop. His mouth twists into what's supposed to be a grin and what ends up trembling itself before vanishing.

The Order of the Stone, even if they haven't been that in a very long time, are his friends, even if none of them ever visited him, even if they let things go quiet after he gave them everything they could ever want, because really, it's his fault. He's the one who disappeared, who did his best to keep them from knowing where he was, because running's always been easiest for him, especially when dealing with emotions he doesn't want or care to understand.

That doesn't mean they don't care.

Gabriel, even with the terrible condition he's in and the way he refuses to talk about it, seems far happier to see Soren than he'd ever expect. Maybe he can hope the same's true for Ellegaard and Magnus. Supposedly, they asked for him. Even if they want nothing to do with him, there's no doubt that there'll be a lot of work to do to take care of what remains of the Witherstorm, and if Soren's good at anything, it's building.

He knows it'll never be the same again because it can't, something like this doesn't just happen and have no effect, and he knows who made this monster and knows this can't possibly end well, knows that even if the Order reunites, and he wants that more than almost anything else, it won't feel like it should.

There's a reason he left.

Soren shakes his head, letting his hands go still, and ignoring it when they don't, before digging deeper into the chest that has to be the right one.

Of course things won't be the same.

People change. Even without the Witherstorm, the world would be different from how he left it. It's what he gets for isolating himself for so long.

And, no matter his fears, no matter how... grounded or realistic they might be, he has a job to do. People are actually counting on him for once, actually sought him out for help because they trust him and what he can do, his friends are actually counting on him, maybe mostly for his stuff but at least a little on him too.

If everything else has changed, why can't he?

(It's not going to change, it never has and it never will, he's always been a coward and a liar and a horrible, terrible person whose first concern will always be his own safety.

But he's good at lying, so very good, especially to himself.)

Day3/ Episode 3, The Last Place You Look It's Jesse in the Enderman Suit taking the block from the Enderman. I actually like this better than the one I made for ep2. As for the background, I just found a picture of end stone and used that.
