Above and Beyond/Transcript

The following is a transcript of Episode 5: Above and Beyond of Telltale Games' Minecraft: Story Mode - Season 2.

Previously on Minecraft: Story Mode...

Admin: There is a key difference between a good friend and a bad one. Good friends do what you ask. They enjoy what you make for them. They never betray you. Jesse is a perfect example of what we call a "bad friend." Other "bad friends" include, in no particular order: Fred. And Xara. Ultimately, all losers who refused to appreciate the gifts they'd been given. Now me? I won't stand for ingratitude, so I took my gifts away. Oh, but then, then, just when I thought I'd found a promising new friend- augh! Such a disappointment. That is when I had a brilliant idea. The perfect way to weed out the bad friends from the good, to be appreciated... I became Jesse. I was right, of course. The plan worked immediately. Jesse's good friends flocked to me, the better Jesse.

• (Said "We're still imprisoned.")
• (Said Anything Else)

Admin: And now Jesse is trapped underground forever. One more ungrateful loser buried away.

• (Jesse Is Male)
• (Jesse Is Female)

Admin: And now poor Jesse is dead, having never learned his lesson.

Admin: And now poor Jesse is dead, having never learned her lesson.

Admin: The saddest part of all, really, is that Jesse will never get to see how much better I've made Beacontown. (Chuckles) Oh, yes...

Cavern

The group make their way through a cavern into Beacontown.

Jack: Man. Lucky thing that the Admin didn't think to fortify these tunnels into town.

• (Brought Lluna)
• (Brought Nurm)

Lluna bleats.

Nurm: ["We've packed a LOT in."]

• (Gave Xara Her Bed)
• (Didn't Give Xara Her Bed)

Jack: Speaking of fighting Admins - I can’t help but wish we still had Xara around. I know she was... well she was a little much, but having an ex-Admin on our side seems like it could’ve come in handy.

Petra: Oof, I guess. She still scared me, though.

• Xara helped in her own way.
• She deserves a break.
• Glad to be rid of her.
• ...

Jesse: She already helped us a lot. The portal, buying us time to get up here...

Jack: Yeah... yeah, I see what you mean.

Jesse: I think Xara’s already done plenty in the fight against Romeo, and she’s been at it a lot longer than we have. She deserves a break.

Jack: Yeah, that’s fair.

Jesse: I, for one, am glad to have her behind us.

Jack: Well I’m sure there are people out there who would say the same thing about us, but, yeah, sure..

Jack: Well... no sense looking back- gotta keep paddling forward.

Jack: Maybe Xara’s lucky being where she is right now. She’s not currently marching towards a fight with the Admin.

Petra: You think Xara used this tunnel to get into Beacontown too?

Jack: Maybe? I still just can’t believe she thinks she can take the Admin on alone.

Petra: I mean, we all knew she was a couple ingots short of a bucket.

Jack: I guess. Can’t help but wonder if she would’ve been a bit... more even-keeled if she’d just gotten some darn rest.

Petra: We’ve just got a really scary plan as it is. Knowing that at any minute Xara could come along is kinda stressing me out.

Jack: Yeah I know, I’m with you on that one.

Petra: Right?

• She's toast.
• Xara might stop them.
• Xara was brave.
• ...

Jesse: I’m worried that the minute Romeo sees her, he’ll take care of her just like he took care of Fred.

Jack: Followed by each and every one of us, no doubt.

Jesse: Who knows? Maybe she can actually get through to Romeo. Remind him of the old times.

Petra: Seems to me like he'd rather forget all those old times ever existed.

Jesse: I think it’s really brave that she wants to try and face Romeo. Not everyone has that kind of courage.

Petra: But... is it “courage” to run into a fight that you’re almost definitely not gonna win? That just seems... dumb.

Jack: Hm. Bet there are a lot of people who would call what we’re doing “dumb.”

Jack: All we can do is hope that Xara doesn't do anything... reckless.

Petra: (Sarcastically) Xara? Reckless? No.

Petra: If she tries to confront Romeo before we can take his powers away... that’ll be bad for everyone.

• (Brought Fred's People)
• (Brought Radar)

Binta: I’m just glad Friends of Fred stayed at the entrance to that... that “Heckmouth.” This is far too dangerous for them.

Radar: Maybe it’s for the best that Binta and the Fredtowners didn’t make it out of the Underneath. It would really stink to get above the bedrock, just to have the Admin... you know.

Petra: Yeah. Jesse, when Romeo finds out what we’re trying to do... we’ve seen what he does. I don’t want to end up like Fred. I don’t want Beacontown to be like Xara’s town. We’ve seen... so many terrible things that Romeo’s done. I just can’t even handle thinking about that happening to the others. To our home.

• I know we can defeat him!
• We won't end up like Fred.
• Our friends are suffering.
• ...

Jesse: Yes, things look impossible, and they might be... but I believe in all of us. Look how far we’ve come. Look at all the “impossible” we’ve already done! We can do this.

Jesse: Hey. No one is going to end up like Fred.

• (Brought Fred's People)
• (Brought Radar)

Binta: But... how do you know?

Radar: How do you know that?

Jesse: Fred didn’t know just how bad Romeo was, so he underestimated him. We can learn from the people that came before us.

Jesse: Just remember, Petra. Things look bad for us- but who knows what horrible things are happening to our friends, the people in Beacontown, right now.

Petra: Uh, great pep talk?

Jesse: No, I’m just reminding you that we’re doing this for their sake. We’re going to save them.

Petra: So it’s, what... hopeless, then?

Jesse: I know it seems hopeless, but we can’t give up now. There are people up there counting on us, and we are not going to let them down. Hear me?

Jack: Yeah, I hear ya.

Petra: Let's do it.

• (Brought Fred's People)
• (Brought Radar)

Binta: Woo! My, that was loud.

Radar: Yeah! Yeah, let’s do the thing!

• (Brought Lluna)
• (Brought Nurm)

Lluna bleats.

Nurm: [“Semper fi!”]

Jesse: Here we go...

Beacontown

The group arrive back into the streets of Beacontown from the mineshaft entrance. Jesse looks up to see a floating terminal, with lava flowing from it.

Jesse: No...

The Admin's Golems are sent to bring order to the people of Beacontown. A townsperson is forced to axe his pigs. The group sneak behind a pillar and look up towards the floating terminal.

Jesse: What do you guys wanna bet that’s where the “Primary Terminal” is?

Petra: The giant floating tower with no clear entrance? Yeah, probably.

Jesse: We've gotta find a way up there.

Jack: Might be a good idea to hit the Map Shop... regroup, get some supplies...

Jesse: Yeah... yeah, that sounds good.

The group make their way towards the Map Shop and the Admin enters the area. He is walking with Axel, Olivia and two of his Golems.

Jesse: (Whispers) Guys, Admin! And he's with Axel and Olivia...

Petra: We gotta hide!

The group hide behind a stand.

Jack: Typical. Heading exactly where we wanted to go.

Jesse: Then I guess we just can't get caught.

Olivia: Why exactly are we having a whole festival devoted solely to you?

Axel: Do we really have to go up on stage with you in front of everyone?

Admin: Enough. You two are going to need to do a lot less talking and a lot more agreeing, if you want to be a part of Beacontown.

Olivia: I’m not so sure I do, actually. In fact, we were just about to head home.

Admin: I’d be very careful, if I were you guys, or there might not be a home to go back to. At all.

The Admin approaches and opens the entrance gate to Beacontown. Axel and Olivia follow behind.

Admin: It’s just so easy for something bad to happen to a town. Like Champion City, for example...

• (Gave Xara Her Bed)
• (Didn't Give Xara Her Bed)

Admin: And... boop.

The Admin claps his hands, blowing up Champion City in seconds. Stella watches in shock to see her town destroyed.

Stella: (Holding back tears) My... no...

Stella: Wait, what are you-

The Admin suddenly teleports to evade an arrow that is shot towards him. Xara is seen entering Beacontown. The Admin holds his hand out, ready to send her away.

Xara: Put that hand down, Romeo.

Admin: Xar- er, I mean... do I know you?

Petra: Xara!? What is she doing?

Xara: Don't play dumb with me, Romeo. (To others) Whatever "Jesse" here told you, it's all a lie.

Admin: No, no, no- I'm afraid that's where you stop talking.

Xara pulls out her sword and charges towards the Admin, before being levitated upwards. The Admin walks towards her and slowly brings his hands together, suffocating Xara to death. Her inventory falls to the ground. Stella gasps in shock.

Admin: Goodbye, old friend.

The group back down into hiding.

Jack: I had hoped there was still a chance of redeeming Romeo. Now... I’m not so sure.

• (Gave Xara Her Bed)
• (Didn't Give Xara Her Bed)

Petra: Champion City... he blew it up. Just to make a point.

Petra: He just...

Jack: Xara's... gone.

• It wasn't real.
• He's a monster.
• There's still hope.
• ...

Jesse: It... that can’t have been real, right? It must’ve been another one of the Admin’s tricks.

Petra: I don’t think so, Jesse.

Jesse: Yeah. He’s a monster, through and through. And he needs to be put down.

Jack: Yeah, I... I guess you're right.

Jesse: I know this looks really bad, but... there's gotta still be some hope that we can get through to him. Somehow.

Petra: You sound a lot more sure than I feel, Jesse.

Jack: I can hardly believe it.

Petra: He's even worse than we thought.

• (Gave Xara Her Bed)
• (Didn't Give Xara Her Bed)

Admin: Now... how about you run along and get that fireworks show ready for the big keynote, eh?

Stella: Yes, Admin- ah- Jesse.

Admin: I think I’ve proven my point. You will stay in Beacontown and you WILL continue to be my friends. Got it?

Olivia: You... you...

Admin: Don't answer. I know you do. Now, we have a festival to prepare for! Speaking of... Stella? You're going to have my fireworks display ready, yes?

Stella: Yes, Admin- ah- Jesse.

Admin: Very good.

Petra: I think the Admin's distracted.

Jesse: Yeah. We should go grab Axel and Olivia while we have the chance.

Jesse sneaks towards Axel and Olivia.

• (Gave Xara Her Bed)
• (Didn't Give Xara Her Bed)

Admin: What? You were always so worried about Champion City and now... one less thing to worry about!

Stella: My- my friends and... my people... they're... gone...

Admin: Oh, Xara. How I wish it didn't have to end that way. (To golem) Get over here, you iron simpleton.

The Golem walks over to the Admin.

Admin: This was your fault, you hear? If you were any good at your job, you wouldn't have allowed someone like her in here.

Jesse: (Taps shoulder) Pssst, Olivia! Axel!

Olivia turns around to see Jesse and the rest of the group.

Olivia: Omigosh, I knew it. I just knew it.

Axel: Whoa, am I seeing double?

Olivia: Shh!

Olivia and Axel follow Jesse.

Olivia: Jesse, I- what is...

Jesse: C'mon, I'll explain everything. But we have to get off the streets.

Jack: To the Map Shop! Quick!

The group sneak to the Map Shop.

Map Shop

Olivia: I don’t know what to say. “Admins?” A world beneath the bedrock?

Axel: Yeah, I still think you made that part up.

Olivia: I mean, I’m relieved that the Jesse out there isn’t the real you, but... nobody else knows that. What if everyone in Beacontown turns on you? I mean, with what just happened outside, Axel and I almost did.

Axel: And we’re your oldest friends, I mean if we couldn’t tell-

Olivia: Exactly.

• I'll make them understand.
• He can't fool everybody.
• I can't think about that.
• ...

Jesse: I’ll just have to make them understand what happened.

Olivia: "Make them?" I suppose if anyone could make them listen, it'd be you.

Jesse: Look, the Admin is good but he’s not good enough to have everyone fooled, right?

Axel: It’s a pretty good Jesse impression... I mean, a totally evil version, but... yeah.

Jesse: Honestly? I’m trying not to think about it.

Axel: I do the same thing all the time with stuff that stresses me out.

Olivia: I think you should be more worried about this.

Axel: I don't know, I kinda dig how cool Jesse's being. Stoic.

Olivia: But you said there’s a way to stop this guy, right?

Olivia looks towards Petra, who is standing by herself.

Olivia: Petra!

Petra stands up, then turns the other way and crosses her arms.

Olivia: Are... are you okay?

• (Gave Xara Her Bed)
• (Didn't Give Xara Her Bed)

• (Supported Stella)
• (Didn't Support Stella)

Petra: Stella sucks, even when she's on our side, but... nobody deserves that. Ever.

Petra: Horrible as Stella may be, working for The Admin and all... nobody deserves that.

Petra: Her whole city... gone. In an instant. It's insane. Nobody should have that much power.

• It's our fault.
• We'll make him pay.
• ...

Jesse: It's our fault...

Petra: No, Jesse. Don't do that-

Jesse: We're why the Admin is here in the first place. Everything that happens now is on us.

Jesse: Add it to the list of horrible things the Admin's gonna pay for.

Petra nods.

Petra: Yet another horrible reason we need to take the Admin down now.

Jack: I can't believe Xara just rushed in blind like that... what was she thinking?

Petra: Xara was... complicated. But she didn't deserve that.

Jack: Nobody should have that kind of power.

• It's all our fault.
• We'll avenge her.
• Xara chose this.
• ...

Jesse: It's our fault...

Petra: No, Jesse. Don't do that-

Jesse: It is, though. We knew what Xara was after. What she was capable of.

Jesse: Add it to the list of horrible things the Admin's gonna pay for.

Petra nods.

Jesse: Xara knew the risks. Knew what the Admin was capable of. She made her choice.

Petra: Poor Xara...

Jack: Poor stupid Xara is more like it. She should have known better.

Olivia hugs Petra.

Jesse: I'm so glad you guys are okay.

Petra: Did Jesse tell you about the potato yet?

Axel: The what?

Jesse: In the underneath, we got our hands on something called a “Word of Passage”: #Potato451. I know it sounds weird, but it’s supposed to take away the Admin’s powers for good.

• (Brought Lluna)
• (Brought Nurm)

Jack: I can’t wait to see his face when that happens. Look at the state of my poor shop... almost glad Nurmie doesn’t have to see the old girl looking like this.

Jack: That’ll be payback for what he’s done to our poor shop.

Nurm: [“Yeah... it’s a total wreck!”]

Jack: C’mon, hopefully it’s not a complete wash.

Petra: Is it even safe to hide out in here?

Jack: It used to be the safest place around-

Petra: That was before the Admin's goons were everywhere.

• Probably not.
• You'll protect us.
• Outside is worse.
• ...

Jesse: It’s been ransacked once... whoever did that might come back again.

Olivia: Comforting.

Jesse: Nothing to worry about. We've got our best fighter here with us.

Petra: As much as I appreciate the- completely accurate- compliment, this is the Admin we're talking about.

Jesse: It's safer than being out in the open.

Petra: Yeah. Yeah, I guess that’s true.

Olivia: “Safe” isn’t really a thing in Beacontown anymore.

Axel: Yeah, what she said.

Jack: Getting into that tower won’t be easy... hopefully there’s still something useful in here.

Jesse: Everyone take a look around. Shout if you find anything.

Petra: (Pulls out sword) While you guys do that, I’m gonna keep watch.

The group split up.

• (Optional Interactions)
• ...

• Talk to Axel and Olivia
• Talk to Petra
• Talk to Jack
• Talk to Binta
• Talk to Radar
• Talk to Lluna
• Talk to Nurm
• Look at Bookcases
• Look at Heads
• Look at Parrot

Jesse: Hey, you two.

Olivia: What's up, Jesse?

• Did the Admin reveal anything?
• Where's Lukas?
• Why are you guys here?
• I need to get back.

Jesse: When you thought the Admin was me, did he tell you anything? About a terminal, maybe?

Axel: No. The guy’s a jerk. Never answered a single question.

Olivia: He does spent a lot of time in that floating tower, though.

Axel: Which he never let us go to.

Jesse: You two haven’t seen Lukas around, have you? We got separated when the Admin zapped us to his prison.

Olivia: No, he... he's just been missing.

Axel: Kinda went underground.

Olivia: I’m.. I’m sure he’s okay, though.

Jesse: What brought you both back to Beacontown?

Olivia: Yeah, we uh, we heard something weird was going on.

Axel: Had no idea how weird until we saw all the lava, though.

Jesse: I'm gonna keep looking around.

Olivia: Okay. We'll be here, keeping an eye out.

Jesse: You really think that someone might try to get in?

Petra: Don't know. Not taking any chances. It's like our home is still here, but it's not... home. You know?

Jesse: Hey, we'll make things right. Okay?

Petra: Yeah, I know.

• (Gave Xara Her Bed)
• (Didn't Give Xara Her Bed)

Petra: But seeing what happened to Champion City... has me a little more worried than I'd like, y'know?

Petra: But seeing what happened to Xara... I'm a little more aware of how vulnerable we are, y'know?

Petra: I'll be fine. Go help Jack.

Jesse: You okay there, Jack?

Jack: Ugh, fine. I guess. Just feeling a little violated at someone coming in here and robbing the place. Priceless artefacts and mementoes gone... everything ransacked. I don't know if it was the Admin, looters, what... ugh.

• We'll get it all back.
• Stuff can be replaced.
• We've all lost something.
• ...

Jesse: I promise, Jack, we’re going to get everything back once we defeat the Admin.

Jack: Yeah, you’re right... Probably just fixating on this to distract myself.

Jesse: In the meantime, we’ll keep looking around. Might be something useful in here yet.

Jack: Thanks, Jesse. I appreciate it.

Jesse: Hey. It's just stuff, right? You can replace it.

Jack: I guess that's true. Some of it was pretty valuable, irreplaceable "stuff" though. Kinda like... part of my identity.

Jesse: Yeah, I... I know how that feels.

Jack: Yeah. I suppose you do.

Jesse: I think we've all lost stuff at this point, Jack. But we're all in this together and we're gonna fight back.

Jack: Yeah... yeah! You're totally right.

Jack: But... I shouldn’t be complaining about a few missing treasures. You had your whole identity stolen. I... I can't even imagine how that must feel.

Jesse: Yeah, it's... it's not the best. But we're gonna beat Romeo.

(If Jesse brought Fred's people to the surface)

Jesse: Hey, Binta. Adjusting okay?

Binta: Just looking at scraps from some of the places Jack has been... maybe someday I'll get to see them. If we defeat Romeo, that is.

Jesse: We will. Let me know if you find anything useful.

Binta: Of course.

(If Jesse brought Radar to the surface)

Jesse: How you doin', buddy?

Radar: Just thinking about the people back in Fred's Keep. I mean, I'm happy to be here. Really.

Jesse: Just... let me know if you find anything, okay?

Radar: Roger that.

(If Jesse brought Lluna from the Sunshine Institute)

Jesse: Doin’ okay, Lluna?

Lluna bleats.

Jesse: Yeah, I know it's scary. We're gonna get through it, though. (To self) Poor llama.

(If Jesse brought Nurm from the Sunshine Institute)

Nurm: ["Maps scattered everywhere, whole place is a mess..."]

Jesse: Hey, Nurm... you doing okay?

Nurm: ["Hey, Jesse... I'm okay. Really hard to see the shop looking like this, though."]

Jesse: Well... hang in there, okay? We're gonna make this right.

Nurm: ["Thanks, Jesse. I know we will."]

Jesse: Don't think we're going to be able to read our way up to the tower...

Jesse: Surprised nobody wanted to take these. Too bad they don't help us, though.

Jesse: Wow, I was worried all the parrots have left Beacontown.

Jack: Who? Archie? No, he’d never leave

Jesse: Aw, is he yours?

Jack: Erm, Watching him for a friend. Let’s just leave it at that

Jesse pulls a lever, causing a wall to open up, revealing a pair of Elytra Wings.

Jesse: Is this- hey, Jack!

Jack: By the tides, I'd almost forgotten about that stash!

Jesse: Are these...

Olivia: Elytra Wings?! Those are super rare!

Jack: Yeah, got 'em one time when I made a trip to the End. Nothin' better for gliding.

Clinking noises are heard.

Jesse: What... was that?

Everyone turns towards the bookshelves. Jesse approaches the source of the mysterious sound.

• (Brought Lluna)
• (Brought Nurm)

Nurm reveals himself.

Jack: Nurmie!

Jack gives Nurm a hug.

Jack: Never letting you out of my sight again, Nurm. Never again.

Nurm:

Lluna reveals herself.

Jesse: Lluna! You made it!

Petra: Ha ha, I never doubted it.

Jesse goes in to pet Lluna, but is spit on.

Jesse: I guess I deserved that.

Nurm: ["Hey there, girl."]

Nurm gives Lluna a hug.

Jesse: But how did you get out of that prison?

Ivor: (From ledge) Because... I broke them out!

Ivor lands to the ground with a pound.

Jack: Argh!

Ivor: Ah!

Jesse: Ivor! What on earth were you just doing hanging out up there?

Ivor: Jesse, I'm a ninja. Where else would I be?

Axel: That is a nice outfit, Ivor.

Ivor: I know, thank you!

Jack: Oh, oh my- ohmigosh. Do you know who that is? That is Ivor, a founding freaking member of the Order of the freaking Stone. That is a legend. Standing in front of us, Nurm. Within arm's reach. And my shop is a complete wreck! This is so totally embarrassing.

• Hey, play it cool.
• Jack, just be yourself.
• ...

Jesse: Hey, you're pretty legendary yourself, Jack. Just play it cool around him.

Jack: Right, right, cool. Cool. I can do cool.

Jack leans on a bookshelf.

Jack: Ivor, right? 'Sup.

Ivor: Yes... I am Ivor. And you are?

Jack: They call me the Stab Walker. Yeah. That's a nickname.

Ivor: Yes... hi. Hello... strange stab person.

Jesse: Trust me, Jack. Best thing around Ivor? Just be yourself.

Jack: Uh, yeah, that... makes a whole lotta sense. Thanks, Jesse. Well, here goes-

Jack approaches Ivor.

Jack: Ivor? Of the Order of the Stone? This is quite the pleasure.

Ivor: Ha, well yes! Of course it is! And you are?

Jack: Oh, me? Oh, I'm, uh- the, uh... stalk... the um- stab... well, from the... I'm, ah- nobody. How are ya?

Petra: (Chuckles) He's Jack.

Ivor: Oh, well hello! Always nice to meet a fan.

Jack: Uh, yeah.

Jack: Ohmigosh omigosh, he’s coming over here.

Jack leans on a bookshelf.

Jack: Ivor, right? 'Sup.

Ivor: Yes... I am Ivor. And you are?

Jack: They call me the Stab Walker. Yeah. That's a nickname.

Ivor: Yes... hi. Hello... strange stab person.

Ivor: Anyway, I am happy to report that your plan for the Admin worked perfectly! He fell for my deception hook, line and sinker!

• (Said "We're still imprisoned.")
• (Said "I died trying to escape.")
• (Said "Tell him you killed me.")
• (Said Nothing)

Ivor: Story about you rotting away in prison forever? Big success.

Ivor: My story about you dying in your escape attempt? Admin loved it.

Ivor: Story about me killing you? Big. Hit! You really know your audience.

Ivor: Went with that “prison parrots” story. He loved it!

• (Brought Fred's People)
• (Brought Radar)

Ivor: A wonderful idea from that skinny-armed fellow. Sonar?

Jesse: Radar.

Radar: My idea! Yes!

Ivor: And after the Admin’s appetite for Jesse’s destruction was satisfied, I returned to the prison by cover of night to free your friend from that cursed place.

• (Brought Lluna)
• (Brought Nurm)

Ivor: Between both of our enormous intellects, we figured out a simple way to disarm maximum security and escape without being blown to smithereens! It was incredibly difficult and took many, many days of intense mental activity. And... a very large hole in the side of the Sunshine Institute, which I'm sure no one will notice!

Nurm: [“His armor kind of smells.”]

Jack: Nurmie, be nice.

Nurm: [“I’m always nice.”]

• I'm glad you're not dead.
• You're a hero.
• I'm so sorry.
• ...

Jesse: I can't believe you risked your life for us. You could have died. What if Ivor hadn't gone back-

Nurm: ["I would have figured it out. I was mapping the room."]

Jack: (Chuckles) Nurm, you are a treasure.

Jesse: You're a hero, Nurm. Jack should watch out- you might start stealing his glory.

Jack: Nurm, the Sunshine Rock.

Nurm: ["I like it."]

Jesse: I’m so sorry for leaving you there, Nurm. A lot of terrible stuff has happened... but having you here- it’s the best.

Nurm: ["Thank you. Really though, it was pretty boring."]

Jack: Don’t be so humble. What you did was brave.

Jesse says nothing.

Ivor: I was surprised, but this animal is quite the escape artist! I may consider naming her my apprentice! Though she will need a mask...

• It wasn't so bad, was it?
• I'm sorry I left you.
• You saved us all.
• ...

Jesse: Wasn’t too bad after all, huh Lluna? You got a daring rescue and everything.

Jesse: I'm so sorry that you had to be left behind. It must have been terrible.

Jesse: Lluna... you saved us all. You really are a hero.

Jesse says nothing.

Jesse: Now that the team is back together, Ivor, we need to stop the Admin. We're supposed to use our "Word of Passage" at the "Primary Terminal."

Petra: Jesse thinks it's up in the tower.

Ivor: Yes, I believe that's exactly where it is. I've heard him reference such a thing several times. No one thinks to check for eavesdropping ninjas. I have learned a lot of information that way.

• Isn't the tower floating?
• What does it do?
• Is it guarded?
• ...

Jesse: I’m glad it’s easy to find, but... it’s floating. Up in the air.

Ivor: Which... poses a problem, perhaps.

Jesse: You know about the Terminal? What does it actually do?

Ivor: No idea! But you- the other you- spends a great deal of time within it.

Jesse: Lemme guess. There’s guards, right?

Ivor: Yes, yes. Though I requested a post there, the Admin appointed special Golems to patrol the place.

Ivor: This Terminal is certainly mysterious. But, hopefully, not for long!

Axel: Just, uh... you sure we can't, like, reason with this Admin guy? Talk it out?

Petra: You? Wanting to "talk it out?"

Axel: Jesse taught me to keep the explosions in Boom Town.

• We can't reason with him.
• Maybe I can try.
• Are you nuts?
• ...

Jesse: That’s not- you can’t reason with this guy, Axel. Trust me.

Petra: As soon as this guy sees us, he'll just blink us out of existence.

• (Brought Fred's People)
• (Brought Radar)

Binta: Yeah, some people just don’t want to be reasoned with.

Radar: It's true. He's crazy.

Jesse: That's actually not a bad idea. I could try.

Axel: Right? I mean, if you could get me to talk about my feelings... might be worth a shot.

Jesse: You’re kidding, right? After everything I’ve told you about him, you still think we could just talk to him?

Axel: I dunno. I just thought, y’know, you taught me how to talk about things more. I dunno...

Jesse: You are way more reasonable than the Admin, Axel.

Petra: While that may be worth a try, Axel, it won’t matter if the Admin zaps us out of existence the second he sees us.

Jesse pulls out the Elytra Wings.

Jesse: I'm formulating a plan... we just need a distraction.

Ivor: Maybe a “distraction” like Jesse’s big speech at the start of JesseCon?

Olivia: That sounds great, but Elytra Wings don't exactly go up.

Jack: (Chuckles) They do with fireworks.

Jesse: Nurm, you think you could get me a map of Beacontown?

Nurm: ["Coming right up!"]

Nurm places the map onto a large table.

Jesse: Here's the plan. Like Jack said, we need fireworks.

Ivor: Which the Admin has stockpiled backstage at the event!

Petra: Wait- isn’t Stella in charge of fireworks for this thing?

Jesse: Perfect. We’ll never get backstage without Fireworks Guild uniforms. So we find Stella, and she shows us where they are. I'll grab them, we suit up, and boom- backstage passes. Once we're there, we swipe some fireworks.

• (Brought Fred's People)
• (Brought Radar)

Binta: Wait, what am I doing?

Radar: Wait, don't I go backstage with you guys?

Jesse: You’re going to be getting me a bucket of water. We’ll get to that. While we’re getting the fireworks, Axel and Olivia will distract the Admin.

Axel: Are you sure I can’t just blow up the stage? That would be distracting.

Olivia: Axel...

Jesse: Then, we wait until the big fireworks finale.

Jack: The... what?

Jesse: It's Romeo. I promise you there will be a huge fireworks finale. Petra and Jack will wait in the Order Hall. The second those fireworks go off... I go airborne. Once I land, I use the bucket of water to create a waterfall.

• (Brought Fred's People)
• (Brought Radar)

Binta: Oh... I was wondering what it was for.

Radar: Ah ha! My bucket, your secret weapon.

Jesse: Then, the three of us will head into the tower and use #Potato451 to strip the Admin of his powers before he even knows we were there. See? Piece of cake.

Jack: That... might just be the best crazy I've heard in a while!

Petra: Jesse, this could work!

Axel: Explosions, excitement... explosions- I love it!

Jesse: This all starts with getting Stella to help us, though.

Axel: Yeah, she's pretty tight with that Admin guy.

Olivia: Is she a friend of yours?

Axel: She did seem kinda awful.

Jack: Yeah. I'm not so sure about that one. After everything we've been through...

• We can trust her.
• She can't be trusted.
• The Admin hurt her too.
• She can’t still trust the Admin.
• She's always trouble.
• ...

(If Jesse supported Stella)

Jesse: You’re wrong. Stella might have caused a lot of trouble in the past, but I know I got through to her in the Sunshine Institute. We can trust her.

Jack: Sure hope you’re right about that.

(If Jesse didn't support Stella)

Jesse: You’re right, Stella can’t be trusted. After what happened in the Sunshine Institute... guys, I think she’s really on the Admin’s side.

Jack: You can say that again.

(If Jesse gave Xara her bed)

Jesse: Champion City was torn down, we all saw it. Stella’s been hurt by the Admin too. There has to be a way to get through to her.

Jack: Yeah, I wouldn’t bet on that.

(If Jesse didn't give Xara her bed)

Jesse: There’s no way she still trusts the Admin after all the horrible things she’s seen him do. I think we can get through to her.

Jack: Yeah, I wouldn't bet on that.

Jesse: Even when Stella has the best of intentions, she’s still a problem.

Jack: All I’m saying is- that lady's a real problem. Always.

Jesse: Well... Stella does know where the Fireworks Guild uniforms are. I could follow her to them, and then we wouldn’t have to talk.

Petra: Great. Can I say how much I don't like this plan?

Ivor: You can! Because you're staying here. Only Jesse stands a chance on the streets because Jesse is the Admin!

• (Brought Fred's People)
• (Brought Radar)

Binta: You don’t exactly look like the you we saw earlier. You’ll have to change.

Radar: Jesse! Your clothes- you gotta change!

Jesse changes back into their classic outfit.

• (Said "We can trust her.")
• (Said "The Admin hurt her too.")
• (Said Anything Else)

Petra: Jesse, I know you think Stella’s on our side, but you can’t trust her, okay? Be careful.

Petra: Jesse... I know you think Stella’s just another victim of the Admin, but... be careful, okay?

Petra: Stella is the worst. So be careful, all right?

Jack: I think Jesse should be more worried about the Admin showing up during this plan. (To Jesse) Good luck, friend.

Jesse: One serving of Admin, coming up. I can do this.

Jesse: There.

Jesse walks further to see a figure in the opposite direction that also appears to be Stella.

Jesse: Hey...

Townsperson 5: Why did you destroy his home? What did Champion City do to you? Destroying homes left and right. Absolutely no regard for people's lives. What kind of leader is that?

• Are you questioning me?
• It's only a city.
• That wasn't me.
• ...

Jesse: You dare question me?

Townsperson 5: Oh no, no. Very sorry! Praised be Jesse.

Jesse: It's just a city. The people are safe and have learned a valuable lesson.

Townsperson 5: Except they have no homes. What happened to you, Jesse? I used to know you.

Jesse: It wasn't me! It was someone disguised as me.

Townsperson 5: Psh, sure, deny any accountability. You really have changed.

Townsperson 5: You know it's wrong and you won't even admit it.

Townsperson 5: (Nervously) Good- good morning, your Jesse-ness. You're standing right here. Singling me out. I hope this is for a- uh- pleasant reason. And not something that banishes me to oblivion.

• Go about your business.
• How are you?
• Don't be afraid.
• ...

Jesse: On about your business, citizen.

Townsperson 5: Yes, of course. I bask happily in your Jesse presence. I'd never want to be zapped like the woman you argued with. Not that there's anything wrong with Jesse zapping dissenters. Jesse knows all!

Jesse: (Waving) Good morning! How are you today?

Townsperson 5: Is this a test?

Jesse: Um, no.

Townsperson 5: Because if that was a test, I'm fine. Perfectly fine.

Jesse: Don't be scared. I'm not going to hurt you.

Townsperson 5: You won't? I mean, I'm not scared. Everything is great, just as Jesse wills.

Townsperson 5: I'm great. Just minding my own business. I'd never want to be zapped like the woman you argued with. Not that there's anything wrong with Jesse zapping dissenters. Jesse knows all!

Jesse: (To self) I need this to end. Once and for all.

Jesse: Hey, Wink. Have you seen Stampy and Stacy?

Winks starts barking at Jesse.

Jesse: Whoa, whoa. Relax. It's just me. Boy, you've gotten big.

The Golem starts walking towards Jesse.

Jesse: You're going to get me in trouble. Please close your dog mouth.

Wink continues barking.

• [Give Rotten Flesh]
• I gave you a bone!
• Bad dog! Bad dog!
• ...

Jesse takes out some rotten flesh and gives it to Wink.

Jesse: Here you go, boy. Please like it, please like it, please like it.

Wink eats the rotten flesh.

Jesse:' Somehow, I knew a fistful of rotten flesh would come in handy.

Jesse: (To Golem) Uh, good day to you.

The Golem walks away.

Jesse: That was too close.

Jesse: Hey, remember I gave you that bone? I'm your friend, see?

The Golem picks up Wink.

Jesse: Hey-

The Golem teleports Wink away.

Jesse: Shh, bad dog! Bad dog!

The Golem picks up Wink.

Jesse: Hey-

The Golem teleports Wink away.

The Golem picks up Wink.

Jesse: Hey-

The Golem teleports Wink away.

Jesse walks onto a pressure plate and activates a piston, which smacks them right in the face, launching them a couple blocks away.

Jesse approaches a Guard, who is standing with four Golems.

Guard: Your greatness! I've searched everywhere for you! (To the Golems) Stop there! I present to you the newest JesseCon "volunteers." They await your orders. Not the brightest quartet in the bunch, but... well they're Golems, so... just give 'em an order and they'll do whatever you need.

• Send them to their posts.
• They should take the day off.
• Make them watch each other.
• ...

Jesse: You have to ask? Send them to their posts!

Guard: Right! I am so sorry to have disturbed you over such a small matter. You heard our mighty leader- to your posts!

The Admin teleports into the vicinity.

Jesse: Uh oh!

Jesse hides behind a pillar.

Admin: Hmph. Surprised nothing's blown up in my absence. (To Golem) Keep your eyes peeled for unhappiness.

Jesse: You know what? Let them take the day off. Go slime diving or something.

Guard: Uh... er... yes. Yes! Your leader has given you a request! I want to see dives so beautiful, the people will weep!

The Golems walk towards some slime blocks and begin bouncing on them.

The Admin teleports into the vicinity.

Jesse: Uh oh!

Jesse hides behind a pillar. The Admin approaches the Golems.

Admin: Wha- what is happening? I leave for even a moment and pandemonium ensues. Stop doing that and get back to your posts! Oh, don't look at me like that. You know what you did.

Jesse: Hm... let's see... I don't like the look of these. Make them keep an eye on each other.

Guard: Yes.. yes, how could I never have assumed they would be ready for responsibilities without proper examination? My apologies. Everyone choose a fellow Golem to guard!

The Admin teleports into the vicinity.

Jesse: Uh oh!

Jesse hides behind a pillar. The Admin approaches the Golems.

Admin: Wha- what is happening? I leave for even a moment and pandemonium ensues. Stop doing that and get back to your posts! Oh, don't look at me like that. You know what you did.

Guard: Oh my- I am so sorry, why am I bothering you with something like this? Your time is precious!

The guard turns to the Golems.

Guard: To your posts, golems! Keep an eye on anyone looking unhappy.

The Admin teleports into the vicinity.

Jesse: Uh oh!

Jesse hides behind a pillar.

Admin: Hmph. Surprised nothing's blown up in my absence. (To Golem) Keep your eyes peeled for unhappiness.

The Admin disappears.

Jesse: Phew! Okay, so he just pops in whenever he wants to. I better find Stella fast, before the Admin finds me.

Two mysterious figures rush past Jesse.

Jesse approaches the figure that appears to be Stella.

Jesse: (Tapping on shoulder) Stella! Wait-

Lawrence: Uh... no? Lawrence. Laaawwwrence.

Lawrence turns around to see Jesse, standing before him.

Lawrence: I mean, you can totally call me Stella, though.

Jesse: I'm... actually looking for Stella. Blonde hair? Looks kind of- well, like you. But not. Have you seen her?

Lawrence: Uh, no clue, bro. Maybe try the Order Hall? All the big-wig bros hang there, doin' their big-wig bro business, telling us all what to do...

Lawrence runs away. Jesse notices the real Stella in the distance.

Townsperson 4: I did it... Jesse. I did what you asked. Now, there are porkchops... (Holding back tears) for everyone...

A Golem starts approaching Jesse.

Townsperson 4: Would you like to taste one? I made 'em myself. They're fresh... I promise!

• I will eat a porkchop!
• Uh... no thank you.
• How could you?!?
• ...

Jesse: You know what? I will have a porkchop.

Townsperson 4: You... would you like... Esteban... or Smushy Cutecheeks... or Lord von Thunderpork VI? They're all good... were good... (Bursts into tears) they were so good...

• Esteban.
• Smushy Cutecheeks.
• Lord von Thunderpork VI.

Jesse: I think Esteban sounds... good.

Townsperson 4: Right... away...

The townsperson gives the porkchop to Jesse, who then eats it.

Jesse: Smushy Cutecheeks always was a favourite.

Townsperson 4: Right... away...

The townsperson gives the porkchop to Jesse, who then eats it.

Jesse: Gotta go with the royal porkchop. Lord von Thunderpork VI, please.

Townsperson 4: Right... away...

The townsperson gives the porkchop to Jesse, who then eats it.

Townsperson 4: You... changed your mind? You don't want one?

Jesse: No... no thank you. And you know what? You could... change to carrots, if you wanted...

Townsperson 4: I'll do that, thank you, Jesse... maybe... maybe I'll get some new pigs? I'll name them Dennis... and Countess Pink Paisley IV...

Jesse: Hope that didn't get this guy in trouble...

Jesse: No! How could you- no. No more porkchops! No more.

Townsperson 4: But you- but it- I was... okay. I'm so sorry...

Jesse: Hope that didn't get this guy in trouble...

Townsperson 4: They're not cooked the way you like, are they? I'm so sorry! I'll do better next time! Please don't send me away!

The Golem teleports the townsperson away.

Jesse walks away.

Jesse: Glad Romeo didn't touch this, at least.

Jesse walks past Nell's house.

Nell: Yo, Jesse dude, just unveiled the new statue you built, yah...

Jesse looks up towards Nell's statue, which the Admin has covered with his own creation.

Nell: S'got, um... character... kinda likes the old one, but... whoa, hey. I mean, this one's totally rad, can't keep my eyes off it. Kinda feels like it's, like, following me sometimes though, yknow? Like I see it out of the corner of my eye... just like that. Bam! Whoa...

• Change it back.
• Keep it this way.

Jesse: You know what? I changed my mind. Let's bring the old one back, shall we?

Nell: Dude! Can't wait to see it again. Not that, y'know, this one wasn't... like, go with your gut, dude. 'Specially if it wants the old one back. Cha!

Jesse removes the Admin's statue, reverting it back to the way it was in Episode 1.

Nell: Righteous! Thanks, Jesse dude.

Jesse: It is pretty great, isn't it. I wouldn't change a thing.

Nell: Cha, cha, sure. Go with your gut.

The Admin teleports into the vicinity, accompanied by two Golems.

Nell: Whoa... what?

Jesse looks back and hides behind some sand blocks. Nell backs away in fear, as the Admin approaches the statue.

• (Destroyed the Statue)
• (Left the Statue)

Admin: What? Where is- where is my statue? You there! Nellie! What happened to my statue?

Nell: Uh... the one you just tore down, cause your gut told you to?

Admin: What? What are you talking about? (To Golems) What is she talking about?

Nell: Like two seconds ago, you were-

Admin: You want to blame your insolence on me? Golems, take her away!

Nell: Whoa, whoa, whoa, calm yourself, dude. Take some deep breaths, okay-

The Admin zaps Nell away and disappears.

Jesse: Oh no... Nell...

Admin: I just came by to once again admire the update I did to my... paltry first attempt at a statue. I really feel it's some of my best work.

Nell: Yep, yep, coolio... just keep it the way it is forever...

Jesse: Keep it, uh, hanging, Nellie dude. Catch you on the flip side.

The Admin disappears.

Jesse comes out of hiding and notices Stella, who is standing by herself near the beacon.

Jesse: Well, there's my target.

Jesse looks up towards the beacon, now completely red. They shake their head in disappointment.

Jesse walks by the stage and gasps at the Jesse banners, then shakes their head in disbelief. Stella is seen walking towards the fireworks uniforms. Jesse attempts to follow her, but is stopped by the Admin, who teleports into the vicinity.

Admin: Stella.

Jesse hides behind a wall.

Admin: I wanted one thing from you: more fireworks and banners.

Stella: It's not my fault. I'm understaffed.

Admin: Then hire more people! Force them, conscript them. I don't care. JesseCon will be the greatest thing this town has ever seen, or I will personally ensure you pay the price!

The Admin disappears.

Stella: Where the heck am I supposed to get more people?

Jesse looks at the uniforms.

Jesse: Bingo! That's our ticket in. It's now or never...

Jesse takes one of the uniforms.

Jesse: Perfect. Now we can-

Stella: Oh, gravel, where are those extra Jesse banners- oh!

Jesse: (Admin impression) Stella!

Stella: Jesse! Back so soon? (Chuckles)

Jesse chuckles and hides the uniform behind their back.

Stella: Since when do you... you're not the Admin, are you? Hmmm? Hmmmm? HMMMMMM?

• Of course I'm the Admin.
• I'm back, Stella.
• Go away, Stella!
• ...

Jesse: C'mon, of course I'm the Admin. I'm absolutely... completely... totally the Admin.

Jesse: There's no use hiding the truth. I am not the Admin. For I am actually the real, bonafide...

Jesse: Go, scram... don't you have puppies to give out or something?

Jesse says nothing and Stella slowly approaches them.

Stella: Jesse! I knew it!

Jesse: (Whispers) Keep your voice down, alright?

• (Supported Stella)
• (Didn't Support Stella)

Stella: I am so glad that you're back. Pretending to be the other Jesse's loyal servant has been exhausting. Wait- why am I just finding out now that you're back? Don't you trust me, Jesse? I thought you'd moved past your competitive nature with me. I am part of your core gang. I hate being left out of the loop like this. Surely, you have a reason I'm not seeing.

• I was protecting you.
• We had to keep it secret.
• Sorry, there wasn't time.
• ...

Jesse: I wanted to, but it wasn't safe to contact you with you being so close to the Admin.

Stella: Aw, you were protecting me. We are such best friends.

Jesse: We couldn't risk the Admin finding out I was back. The fewer people who knew, the better.

Stella: I understand. Whatever it takes to thwart that maniac. Man, I can't believe I almost worked for him. Gives me the willies. Ugh...

Jesse: Honestly, Stella, there wasn't time to tell you. I'm sorry.

Stella: Oh, I get it. Didn't want to implicate me in your dangerous scheme.

Jesse: No, we just really didn't get around to telling you.

Stella: Oh yes, I know!

Jesse: I get it. You've still got emotional work to do. Totally fine. Our friendship is a long beautiful road and we'll walk it together.

Jesse: Look, Stella. I need these uniforms to defeat the Admin. I don't have much time to explain all the-

Stella: No problemo, friend-o. Carry on with your top secret mission. I won't spill anything to the Admin. I happen to be an excellent actor. I shall get into character.

Jesse: Let's just, uh, separate. Okay?

Stella: Roger that. Exunt stage left.

Stella strides away.

Stella: Ha! That is bold, I'll give you that. Coming back when the Admin can just- ugh- you into oblivion. Okay, give me one reason I shouldn't just hand you over to him right now. After everything you've done to me. Or not done for me. You don't deserve an ounce of help.

• He won't believe you.
• What about Champion City?
• What about Xara?
• Be the hero for once.
• ...

Jesse: He won't believe you. Ivor convinced the Admin the real Jesse was already "taken care of." Bringing another Jesse would waste his time and make him mad. And you wouldn't want that.

Stella: Ugh, he can be insufferable like that.

(If Jesse gave Xara her bed)

Jesse: I know you and I haven’t always seen eye to eye, but The Admin has to go. You know that. Look what he did to Champion City. How long until he turns his fury on you? I'm back to stop him. You can help or get out of the way.

Stella: Fine. It’s not like your pathetic plan will work anyway. He’ll destroy you the moment you try.

(If Jesse didn't give Xara her bed)

Jesse: I know you and I haven't always seen eye to eye, but the Admin has to go. You know that. Look what he did to Xara, his oldest friend. What makes you think he'll treat you any better? I'm back to stop him. You can help or get out of the way.

Stella: Fine. It’s not like your pathetic plan will work anyway. He’ll destroy you the moment you try.

Jesse: You can be a hero for once. You heard me. You have a chance to do good, to fight for a cause you know is right.

Stella: Look who's talking! You could have supported me as a friend and instead you rejected me. I can't wait until the Admin delivers what you deserve.

Stella: Fine. It's not like your pathetic plan will work anyway. He'll destroy you the moment you try.

Stella walks away.

Jesse: (Sarcastically) Nice seeing you too, Stella.

Jesse puts away the firework uniform.

JesseCon

The Admin makes a performance on stage, flying around and teleporting, while the townspeople cheer and applaud. Meanwhile, Jesse blends in with the crowd in their fireworks uniform.

Admin: And of course, as Jesse, I’ve got my best friends Olivia and Axel with me, don’t I?

Axel waves to Jesse, who looks down and covers their face.

Admin: Who are you-

Olivia: Yes! Thanks Jesse! We love being your best friend. Don’t we Axel?

Axel: Oh! Yeah! Totally!

Jesse continues covering their face and runs to the others.

• (Brought Fred's People)
• (Brought Radar)

Binta: The resemblance is uncanny. It's amazing.

Jack: More like terrifying.

Binta stares at the stage, unsettled.

Jesse: What's wrong, Binta?

Binta: The Admin. He’s right there. Right in front of me. All the suffering he’s caused... killing Fred, inflicting sorrow on my people. He’s so close. I could just charge the stage and take my justice now. Standing here, idly, seeing that smile... somehow makes it even more unbearable. He's right there, Jesse. Right there. He just... looks like you, right now.

• That won't work.
• We will have justice.
• He's not that terrible.
• ...

Jesse: It’d be useless. There aren’t any weapons that can even touch him right now. Our only hope is getting that Word of Passage up to the tower.

Binta: (Sighs) You’re right. Attacking him now would only doom us all.

Jesse: I want payback too, but we’ve got to do this right. That’s why we need to get to that Tower, use the Word of Passage, and hit him where it hurts.

Binta: You’re right. I’ve waited this long.

Jesse: He's not as terrible as you paint him.

Binta: You're joking, right?

Jesse: I just keep thinking about that tree he planted for Fred... I really think he can be redeemed.

Binta: You’re right. I’ve waited this long. I just need to wait a little longer.

Radar: Man, are your sleeves really tight? My sleeves are, hn, feel like they’re cutting off my circulation...

Jack: Yeah, this is chafing me in all the wrong places.

Petra: Eugh. Remind me to never ask what the right places are.

Radar: Hey. Before we go back there... if things get hot, I want you to know that I’ve got your back. Just like in prison- I can, and will, fight anyone who tries to mess with you. Like they taught me in the big house: No mercy. No prisoners. Wait but... there were lots of prisoners... hm. Unimportant! What is important is that nobody touches you on my watch, boss!

• Enough with the prison stuff.
• You're tough, Radar.
• Sure Radar, sure...
• ...

Jesse: Okay, well, let’s not go, like, looking for fights though, okay? You’ve kinda been freaking me out since we got out of prison.

Radar: Sorry, sorry, I’ll try and tone it down. Keep the Ocelot in the cage, y’know?

Jesse: Oh I know you can. I watched you charge a giant Enderman head on.

Radar: Ha, yeah compared to that guy I guess this is nothin’, huh?

Jesse: Uh, yeah.

Radar: Thanks, Jesse.

Jesse: (Sarcastically) Sure, Radar. Whatever you say.

Radar: C’mon I really mean it. I can mess people up if I want to.

Radar: I really mean it, you know.

Admin: And as Jesse, your Jesse, I’m glad we as a town can come together to celebrate me- Jesse.

Jesse: Let's go to work.

The group nod their heads.

Admin: (Background) Of course it was mandatory, but I sense that you wanted to come anyway. So thank you for understanding just how important I am to you.

Olivia smiles as the group make their way backstage, where one of the guards is poking a Creeper.

Guard: No one permitted back here except- Fireworks Union, huh? Geez, well get back there then.

Jack: Thank you. Now we can get to our jobs that we're totally qualified to do.

The group smile nervously at the guard, who then shrugs and walks away. Jesse sighs of relief.

• (Brought Fred's People)

Binta: I'll find a bucket and report back. Good luck. I hope you can pull this off.

Binta walks away.

Radar: Well, good luck with your fireworking... firework-working? Unimportant. I'll grab a bucket from the house. Be right back!

Radar walks away.

Jack and Petra run to the chests, opening them to find nothing useful.

Petra: What the...? There's no fireworks. Just... stuff.

Jack: C'mon! Who plans a convention with no fireworks? That's like planning a birthday without... without... any fireworks.

• Why can't we catch a break?
• Stop complaining.
• The Admin is a slob.
• ...

Jesse: Why can’t it ever be easy...

Petra: Please, when has it ever been easy?

Jack: Easy or not, I can’t help but notice that we still don’t have any fireworks.

Jesse: Now's not the time to complain.

Petra: I wasn’t complaining. I was... stating a fact in a frustrated tone.

Jack: Either way, we still don’t have any fireworks.

Jesse: See? The Admin’s human. He’s messy just like us.

Petra: Yeah, he’s a slob. Big whoop. But what are we supposed to do with no fireworks?

Jack: This is... unexpected.

Petra: Okay, okay, there’s no fireworks, but maybe we can find stuff to make them with.

Jesse looks at the distant sugar canes.

Jesse: I guess we'll just need to make some.

Jack: There has to be enough supplies to craft some paper around here. Then all we’ll need is gunpowder. And a fireworks star would really add some flash. We’ll keep a lookout on the exits and stage.

Petra and Jack walk away.

Petra: What a self-absorbed... ugh!

Jesse: Only for a little while longer.

Petra: Yeah. We'll get Beacontown back. I can feel it.

Jesse walks towards the grass and trips over.

Jesse: Ivor?

Ivor: Shh! I’m in stealth mode, completely undetectable to the human eye.

Jesse: How?

Ivor Invisibility potions. You’ll have to take my word for it- they’re fantastic. And, apparently long-lasting.

• Classic Ivor.
• You had invisibility potions?
• Thanks for having my back.
• ...

Jesse: Watching my back without even telling me. Classic Ivor.

Ivor: Yes I suppose it is vintage “me,” isn’t it?

Jesse rolls their eyes.

Jesse: Wait, you had invisibility potions this whole time?

Ivor: Yes, but ninja law says you must wait for the most dramatic time to use them.

Jesse: What? Why?

Ivor: I don't know. I'm not a ninja lawyer.

Jesse: Thanks for the back watching.

Ivor: Of course, it’s what I do. High five? Right, you can’t see it. Why do I keep forgetting that?

Ivor: Stunned speechless, I know. It is very effective.

Jesse: Do you have any more?

Ivor: More what?

Jesse: Invisibility potions.

Ivor: Ah, nope. Sadly, I drank my last one to surprise you here. But I’ll be watching you... from the shadows.

Ivor slowly backs up, until he trips into the wall.

Ivor: OW!

Ivor runs away.

Jack: How're those fireworks coming?

Jesse: Oh, they’re coming. This place is just kinda messy.

Jack: Well, just be like the noble light of truth and shine through the darkness of the mess. Only then will you scatter the shadows and reveal your goal.

Jesse: Yeah, um, I'll work on that.

Jack: Good to hear, friend. I’ll keep on keeping an eye out.

Jesse: Okay, at least it looks like the Fireworks Union guys already dropped off the firework stars. Which one should I take?

• Take Green Creeper
• Take Orange Ball
• Take Blue Star
• Take Magenta Burst

Jesse: Love this one. It makes the firework shaped like a green creeper face.

Jesse: If I recall correctly, this one’ll give me a super cool orange ball-shaped firework.

Jesse: This one should give me a blue star shape. Very cool.

Jesse: I think this one does like an awesome magenta burst. Very rad.

Jesse takes the fireworks star.

Jesse walks to the stage wall and looks up towards the Admin.

Admin: All of Beacontown has improved from the moment I ascended as your leader. The sky is brighter, cows are happier, pie is sweeter. I actually don’t even think it’s possible for you to thank me enough.

Jesse walks away, shaking their head.

Jesse opens the chest and takes out a book.

Jesse: Huh. A copy of Lukas’ book. Whoever owns this chest must be a fan.

Jesse opens the chest and takes something out, only for the item to be to be a dirt block. Jesse rolls their eyes.

Jesse walks to the pool of water.

Jesse: Okay, once I’ve got a bucket that’ll be the perfect spot to fill ‘er up.

Jesse: Guess that’s part of the show. Admin-Me has taste in after-speech entertainment.

Jesse approaches some sugar cane.

Jesse: Ooh, sugar cane!

Jesse punches the sugar cane and takes it. Jesse approaches the creeper in the cage and pulls out their sword.

Jesse: Hope this isn't stupid...

Jesse stabs the creeper and it drops gunpowder.

Jesse: Gunpowder! Perfect!

Jesse takes the gunpowder, then approaches the crafting table.

Jesse: Okay, let's get crafting.

• (Optional Interaction) Craft Sugar
• ...

Jesse crafts sugar.

Jesse: Some nice sugar.

Petra: Jesse. We need paper. Not sugar.

Jesse: Oh, right.

Petra: Here ya go. Geez.

Petra gives Jesse some paper.

• Craft More Sugar
• ...

Jesse crafts some more sugar.

Jesse: Some nice sugar.

Petra: (Chuckles) Sweet.

Jesse crafts a firework.

Jesse: Now there's a firework. Nice! Now, just need to-

Suddenly, a guard approaches Jesse.

Guard: Hey Glenn, I-

Jesse turns around and grins, awkwardly, holding the firework behind their back.

Guard: Wait a minute, you ain't Glenn.

The guard creeps toward Jesse, who looks at Jack.

Guard: And you ain't-

• (Brought Fred's People)
• (Brought Radar)

Binta knocks out the guard from behind.

Binta: Yeah! That felt... that felt good. Really good. Maybe we can't hurt the Admin yet, but we can still take out his goons. We've come too far to second-guess ourselves. And we can't let anyone get in our way. Even if it's a bystander.

• He was probably just doing his job.
• Not so hard next time.
• Yeah, take that!
• ...

Jesse: You can’t take all your anger out on that one guard. He was just doing his job.

Binta: Yeah, you’re right. Technically. But his job shouldn’t be pulling his sword on us.

Jesse: Maybe not quite so hard next time.

Binta: Yes, right. Sorry.

Jesse: Nice one, Binta!

Binta: You’re right, you’re right. I can’t take my anger out on innocent people. Although, how innocent was he really? I mean, come on.

Petra: Ha, not bad.

Jesse: Yeah I think we’ve given Binta a bit of a taste for combat.

Binta scratches her head and smiles.

Jesse: Did you get the bucket?

Binta: Right here!

She gives the water bucket to Jesse.

Binta: Good luck up there. I’m going to check on my people.

Jesse: You’re welcome back here when this is over.

Binta: Thank you, Jesse. For everything.

Jesse nods, and the group run off.

Radar knocks out the guard from behind, with his shield.

• (Said "Enough with the prison stuff.")
• (Said Anything Else)

Radar: Gah! Sorry! I know you wanted me to tone it down, but I didn’t know what else to do! I kinda panicked. I just wanted you to be safe!

Radar: Boom! Take that! Toldja I had your back! What’d I tell ya? No one steps to Jesse! Ha!

• You’re a loose cannon!
• Not so hard next time.
• I'm sure he's okay.
• Yeah no kidding!
• ...

Jesse: Radar, you’ve got to get a grip! You’re a loose cannon!

Radar: I was goin’ for, I dunno, wild card! I’m being a wild card!

Jesse: Too wild. Too wild!

Jesse: Gah, just... maybe try not to hit them so hard next time okay? That was brutal...

Radar: Noted.

(If Jesse said to stop with the prison stuff)

Jesse: Oh, don’t worry about him. I’m sure he’s, uh... I'm sure he's okay.

Radar: Yeah... still feel bad.

(If Jesse said anything else)

Jesse: Uh. Yeah. Wow you weren’t kidding. Nice work.

Radar: Thank you, thank you. I’ll be here all night.

Radar: Um, I guess we should keep going, huh?

Petra: I sense the work of Prison Radar.

Radar: Maybe?

Jesse: Did you get the bucket?

Radar: I got the bucket!

Radar hands the water bucket to Jesse.

Radar: Uh... what should I do about this guy?

Jesse: Just- get him out of the way, okay? Like, tuck him away somewhere.

Radar: Roger.

Radar grabs the guard's feet and starts dragging him away.

Radar: Good luck, boss!

Jesse: Thanks, Radar!

Jesse runs off as Radar picks up the guard.

Jesse climbs on top of the structure wearing the Elytra wings, while the Admin performs in front of the townspeople.

Jesse: Okay, all strapped in, fireworks ready...

The Admin looks up towards Jesse and squints suspiciously, then begins levitating towards their location.

Axel: Uh, Jesse! Hey, Jesse!

Axel grabs the Admin by his foot. The Admin glares angrily at Axel and his eyes begin to turn red.

Olivia: Yeah, Jesse! We want to talk to you more about how great it is being your friend!

The Admin smiles and his eyes turn back to normal. Jesse turns around, pulls out their fireworks and then sets them off at the same time as the other fireworks - launching themselves into the air.

Jesse: Woohoo!

Axel and Olivia look towards Jesse, waving and cheering. As Jesse ascends further, they begin to lose control of flight.

Jesse: Whoa... whoa! Hey hey hey-

Jesse starts to descend.

Jesse: Think, Jesse- think. Oh, got it!

Jesse uses a second firework, launching them higher into the air.

Jesse: Woohoo!

Jesse slowly descends, then lands on the tower's floor.

Jesse: Okay... okay... got it. Now I just need to-

A golem approaches Jesse.

Jesse: Oh, perfect. Just what I needed!

Jesse dodges a hit from the golem.

Jesse: Ha! Too slow, dummy!

Jesse pulls out their sword at the golem.

Jesse: Come at me, ugly!

Jesse whacks the golem, which then starts running towards them. Jesse rolls out of the way as the golem reaches the edge and loses its balance.

Jesse: Uh oh-

The golem falls off the edge and into the water.

Jesse: Phew! That was close. Okay, time to get the others.

Jesse empties the bucket of water, creating a waterfall, then puts the bucket back into their inventory. Petra and Jack climb up to the tower.

Jack: Boy was I glad to see that waterfall.

Jesse gives Petra and Jack a fist bump.

Petra: Yeah, we were kinda getting nervous down there.

Jesse: Sorry. The welcoming committee was a little strict. C'mon, let's get inside.

Jesse, Petra and Jack run inside the Terminal.

Floating Terminal

Jesse, Petra and Jack slowly make their through the terminal with their swords out.

Petra: Okay, I’m not the only one that finds all this silence freaky, right? This place is dead.

Jack: Definitely strange. Though I imagine you might be relieved to have a little quiet right now, huh? I was almost expecting, I don’t know, another huge boss battle or something when we got in here.

Petra: Yeah, the Admin definitely seems to like those. But... nothin’.

• This could be a trap.
• I'm glad it's quiet.
• No, it's very freaky.
• [Shush!]
• ...

Jesse: Don’t be fooled guys. If it’s this quiet on our way to de-power the Admin, then it’s gotta be a trap.

Jack: Well I’m not seeing anything “trap”-ish yet, but I’ll keep an eye out.

Jesse: Yeah, after everything we’ve been through trying to get in here and take the Admin’s powers? Having a teeny bit of a break is kinda nice.

Jack: I thought so too.

Jesse: Nah, it’s kinda hard to relax when you’re in the middle of infiltrating a humongous tower owned by a deadly madman as you try to find his office and take away his powers.

Jack: That's... fair.

Jesse: Shh!

Jack: Okay, okay, sorry, you’re right. I’m, uh, being a nervous talker. You know when you do- yeah.

Jack: Okay, okay, sorry, you’re right. I’m, uh, being a nervous talker. You know when you do- yeah.

The group eventually reach a large room with many cages. As they walk through, they're startled by mysterious figures that sneak past them.

• (Destroyed the Admin's Statue)
• (Didn't Destroy the Admin's Statue)

Nell slowly approaches the group, jingling iron ingots in her hand.

Nell: Well, would you look who it is.

The group look around them to see Stampy, who is holding 5 parrots on his shoulders and head, and Stacy.

Nell: Come out and play-i-ayy...

A member of the reformed Ocelots slowly approaches the group, jingling iron ingots in their hand.

Ocelot: Well, would you look who it is.

The group look around them to see Stampy, who is holding 5 parrots on his shoulders and head, and Stacy.

Ocelot: Come out and play-i-ayy...

Many more of the Ocelots begin to surround Jesse, Jack and Petra in a circle.

Jesse: Uh, hey guys. What's... going on?

Lukas approaches the group.

Lukas: Stand down, Ocelots.

Jesse: Lukas!

Lukas: Looks like the tables have finally turned, huh Jesse? We can't let you keep doing what you're doing-

• (Destroyed the Admin's Statue)
• (Didn't Destroy the Admin's Statue)

Lukas: That's enough, Nell.

Nell: Oh. Sorry.

Lukas: That- that’s enough.

Ocelot: Whoops. Sorry...

• I'm so glad to see you!
• Nice jackets, Lukas.
• I'm the real Jesse.
• ...

Jesse: Oh man I am so happy to see you- I can’t believe how long it’s been!

Lukas: What are you talking about? We just talked the other day, remember? Your whole speech about how if “I couldn’t get in line I could just hit the road?”

Jesse: Oh man, I am loving that you brought the Ocelot jackets back! You guys look so cool.

Lukas: It's not just about looking cool, Jesse! It’s a symbol for the people of Beacontown to rally around in our rebellion... against you.

Jesse: Guys. Lukas! I think you’re confused- it’s me.

Lukas: Oh we’re not confused. We know exactly who you are.

Lukas: Puppy dog eyes won’t get you anywhere right now. Not anymore.

The Ocelots come closer to the trio.

Jesse: Now hang on everyone-

Lukas: No! It’s our turn to talk. Not yours, not anymore. I reformed the Ocelots because I wanted to remind everyone of how things were before. And most of all... I wanted to remind you.

Jesse: But-

Lukas: Because the Jesse I know wouldn’t be running around on some power trip, locking people up...

Jesse: Lukas-

Lukas: So yeah. I set your prisoners free. What are you gonna do about it?

Ocelot: Yeah! And telling us our builds were ugly!

• Stop talking for a second.
• Lukas, it wasn't me.
• The Admin did this.
• ...

Jesse: Lukas! Would you please stop talking for two seconds and just let me explain?

Lukas Huh. And there is the new Jesse I’ve gotten to know lately.

Jesse: Wow, I am so glad you guys are all free... I didn't do any of this.

Lukas: What are you talking about? You were laughing, gloating, as you teleported people away.

Jesse: It wasn’t me that locked you all up. It was the Admin.

Lukas: Wait, what? No, you said you defeated the Admin.

Lukas: Do you see how angry you’ve made everyone? And you’re just standing there, silent?

Jesse: Everything you think I’ve told you since I came back from the ice palace... was a lie. The Admin locked me in a prison underground, took my identity, came back here, and pretended to be me.

Lukas: (Backing away) That is... no. How do we know this isn’t a trick?

Jack: No trick, friend. And it’s not the first time- my friend Vos? The Admin did the same thing with him.

Petra: Yeah. We saw the whole thing.

Lukas: Is this really true? All those horrible things you did that... that wasn’t really you.

• [Hug Lukas]
• I could never hurt you.
• Not really my style.
• ...

Jesse hugs Lukas.

Lukas: Okay. Yeah. It’s you.

Jesse: Lukas. You know how much I care about you. I could never hurt you.

Lukas: There’s the Jesse I know.

Jesse: Aw c’mon Lukas. You know that the overbearing authoritarian thing isn’t me. I’m way more laid back than that.

Lukas: That... is true.

Lukas: I don’t know how you manage to say so much without saying anything... but you’re really good at it. Jesse’s telling the truth, guys.

Lukas: Well, now that we have sorted that out... what in the world are we gonna do next? Wait- why are you even in here?!

Jesse: We’re trying to get to something called “The Terminal.” We have a, a “word of passage-”

Petra: (Clears throat) Potato.

Jesse: That we can apparently use to take away the Admin’s powers for good.

Lukas: Yeah, a lot of that was way over my head; especially the potato. But I’m in. You just lead the way and the New Ocelots will have your back.

The Ocelots cheer and everyone runs to the Admin's office, making a stop as Jesse's armor collection.

Petra: Well would you look at this. Romeo’s quite the Jesse memorabilia collector.

Jesse: I know we don’t have much time... but it might be smart to suit up properly.

Jack: Agreed.

• Optional Interactions
• ...

• Look at Redstone Riot
• Look at Golden Goliath
• Look at Ender Defender
• Look at Star Shield
• Look at Shield of Infinity
• Look at Adamantium Impervium
• Look at Ellegaard's Armor
• Look at Magnus' Armor
• Look at Tim's Armor
• Look at Swordbreaker
• Look at Dragonsbane

Jesse: Now that’s armor for an Admin confrontation.

Jesse: Romeo won’t know what to do when I’m coming at him in this one.

Jesse: The perfect blend of stealth and style.

Jesse: It's like armor from the future...

Jesse: Love the gold accents on this one.

Jesse: Flashy, but ferocious.

(If Jesse took Ellegaard's Armor in Season 1)

Jesse: I bet Ellegaard wouldn’t even believe in an “Admin”.

(If Jesse took Magnus' Armor in Season 1)

Jesse: Something tells me Magnus would hate the Admin- only room for ONE crazed egomaniac.

Jesse: Ah, the armor of Tim.

Jesse: I think I once heard Radar say this one was his favorite.

Jesse: Bet that could be the Admin's bane, too.

• Choose Redstone Riot
• Choose Golden Goliath
• Choose Ender Defender
• Choose Star Shield
• Choose Shield of Infinity
• Choose Adamantium Impervium
• Choose Ellegaard's Armor
• Choose Magnus' Armor
• Choose Tim's Armor
• Choose Swordbreaker
• Choose Dragonsbane

Jesse: Redstone Riot time.

Jesse: Let's do this thing, Golden Goliath.

Jesse: Ender Defender, I choose you.

Jesse: Bet Romeo won’t know what to do when he sees the Star Shield.

Jesse: Shield of Infinity... engaged.

Jesse: Adamantium Impervium, don't fail me now.

(If Jesse took Ellegaard's Armor in Season 1)

Jesse: By the power of Ellegaard, time to drop some science on this Admin.

(If Jesse took Magnus' Armor in Season 1)

Jesse: Bet Magnus would be proud to know his armor was helping take down an “Admin.”

Jesse: Tim might not have been a real warrior, but his armor’s gonna help deliver a very real butt-kicking.

Jesse: Let's ride, Swordbreaker.

Jesse: Let's do this, Dragonsbane.

Jesse puts on the armor, then pulls out their sword.

Jack: Now you look like you’re ready for a showdown.

Petra: Agreed.

Jesse: Aww, thanks guys. Time to end this.

Lukas: Ocelots? Ho!

The gang run upstairs and into the Admin's office.

Admin's Office

Jesse: Okay. If I were a Terminal, what would I look like...

Admin: Why... hello, there. Wasn't expecting you.

Petra: Oh crud.

Lukas: What's the move here, Jesse?

Admin: Maybe you’re confused, but this is my office. Heard there might’ve been people trying to break in, so... here I am.

Lukas: Jesse?

Petra: Troops are getting restless back here...

• I'll talk to him.
• Ocelots, charge!

Jesse: (Whispers) Hang on. Let me try and reason with him.

Lukas nods in agreement.

Admin: Uh, hello? Jesse?

Jesse: It’s over Admin. We’re here to-

Admin: Excuse me, excuse me... “We?”

Jesse looks back to see that the Ocelots have disappeared, with only their weapons laying on the ground.

Jesse: Ocelots? Charge!

Admin: Excuse me?!

The Admin teleports each Ocelot away as they try to attack him.

Admin: Nope. Nope. Nope, nope. Nope nope. Big nope.

The Admin slams the desk, teleporting many of the rest away. Lukas charges towards the Admin and punches him in the face.

Admin: Oh, that wasn’t smart.

The Admin lifts Lukas with his powers and throws him around twice, hurting him, before teleporting him with the rest of the Ocelots.

Jesse: What... where are they?! Where'd they go?

Admin: Oh, I am so upset that you’re back!

The Admin slams his desk.

• (Said "We're still imprisoned.")
• (Said Anything Else)

Admin: That wannabe ninja, Ivor, told me you were still in the Sunshine Institute.

Admin: That wannabe ninja, Ivor, told me you were dead.

Admin: Hearing that made me feel great! This, this makes me feel... ugh. Bad. And that's your fault.

• You got played, Admin.
• I told Ivor to say that.
• No prison can hold me.
• I guess I got better.
• ...

Jesse: It’s called a hustle, Admin. And you fell for it hook, line and sinker. What better way to sneak back into Beacontown right under your- er, my nose?

Admin: Oh, you smug, arrogant, insignificant-

Jesse: He was only telling you what I told him to tell you. This is between you... and me.

Admin: I suppose you're right...

(If Ivor told the Admin that Jesse is still imprisoned)

Jesse: C’mon, who’re you talking to? That dumb prison of yours couldn’t hold me.

Admin: Oh, you smug, arrogant, insignificant-

(If Ivor told the Admin that Jesse died)

Jesse: Guess it was just a temporary case of death.

Admin: Oh, you smug, arrogant, insignificant-

Admin: Though, I suppose I shouldn’t be terribly surprised. Your resilience was one of the first things I admired about you.

• (Chose to Reason With the Admin)
• (Chose to Attack the Admin)

Admin: What, pray tell, are you hoping to accomplish by challenging me? I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’m just a touch more powerful than you.

Jesse: I know, that’s why I’m not here to fight you. I want to talk this over, “Jesse-a-Jesse.”

Admin: Ugh, talking it out? What’s the point in that? That’s what losers do. Real people, awesome people, settle their differences with... with... combat! Dueling! Build-offs! Not, ugh, “discourse” and “debate.”

• That's right, loser.
• There's still good in you.
• Just shut up and listen!
• ...

Jesse: Sounds like that's the perfect thing for us to be doing then, loser.

Admin: Did you... really... seriously?! I'm having a hard day too, you know?

Jesse: I want to talk because I know there’s still good in you, Romeo. And I think that if we talk this out... maybe we can come to an understanding.

Admin: You... you really think that?

Jesse: Yeah.

Jesse: No, you’re not doing any talking right now. Right now you’re just going to shut up and listen.

Admin: Nuh-uh. You don’t tell me what to do. That’s not how this works.

Jesse says nothing.

Admin: So, lemme guess what your plan is here. See if I’ve really got the, the- “Jesse” thing down. You want to slug it out, Jesse-a-Jesse, to take back your face and control of Beacontown, right?

Jesse: No. I know you’re way too powerful for me to fight one on one.

Admin: Don’t know if you’ve noticed, but your people out there, your friends? They just love the new you. I'm the best Jesse that's ever been. The posters... the adoration... I heard there's even a parade later. They love me.

• It's all lies.
• They're AFRAID, dummy!
• Maybe, but it's time to stop.
• ...

Jesse: I know you think you're doing a great job, and that they like you...

Jesse: But it's nothing but lies.

The Admin sighs.

Admin: I know.

Jesse: You... you do?

Jesse They don't really love you, they're afraid, you maniac!

Admin: What?

Jesse: They’re terrified of you. The only reason they act like they like you is so that you won’t make them disappear!

Admin: Well, maybe I should make them disappear, then. All of them!

Jesse: Yeah I gotta admit, you’ve done some... amazing things with Beacontown. But it's time to stop, Romeo.

Admin: (Sigh) I know.

Jesse: You... you do?

Jesse says nothing.

The Admin reverts back to his original appearance, no longer disguised as Jesse.

• (Respected the Admin)
• (Disrespected the Admin)

Admin: I know I was all fiery and mad when you first showed up, but it’s just as well. Blimey! I had no idea being you was going to be this difficult.

Jesse: Wait... what?

Admin: Oh yeah, I'm bloody exhausted! The constant whining, everyone asking for things ALL the time. It's insufferable. (Imitating) "I need iron blocks." "I'm out of bricks." "I don't want to be surrounded by lava!"

• Knew you couldn't do it!
• So tiring, right?
• Let me help you.
• ...

Jesse: Ha! I knew you’d never be able to handle being me.

Admin: Oh! Ha, ha- what? I can handle it. I'm just bored of it is all.

Jesse: Oh my gosh, I actually know exactly what you mean! It gets really tiring, right?

Admin: Yes! And it’s like, hello, can I get a little me time?

Jesse: Well... I’m back now. I could help you? Take back over?

Admin: Yeah... yeah, I suppose you could, yeah.

Admin: Anyway, what am I telling you all that for, eh? I’m probably preaching to the choir.

Admin: Well you know what? It’s just as well you’re back. Because being Jesse is the worst. Oh yes, yes- I said it. I hate being you! Your people, your friends? They're so needy, so clingy. I have to listen to their stupid voices day after day after day just asking for things... I thought that being Jesse meant that people would do what I wanted to do! No one ever asks what I want! It’s all, “can I have iron?” and, “can I have gold?” And what are they using all that stuff for anyway?! Ugh, so annoying.

• That's super selfish.
• Let me help you.
• It IS hard sometimes.
• ...

Jesse: Yeah, that's not how being a leader works. That's just selfish.

Admin: Well yes, it’s terribly disappointing, is what it is.

Jesse: Well... I’m back now. I could help you? Take back over?

Admin: Yeah... yeah, I suppose you could, yeah.

Jesse: That's what being a leader is, Romeo. It’s not all fun and bossing people around... sometimes it’s hard.

Admin: Well yes, it’s terribly disappointing, is what it is.

Admin: Anyway, what am I telling you all that for, eh? I’m probably preaching to the choir.

Admin: It’s just... it was fun at first. Show them some super amazing display of my awesome powers, they’d laugh, I’d laugh... but soon they were just asking me to do that all the time. You know... you know what’s funny? You’ve made me see something. It’s starting to feel like maybe... I should just leave being Jesse... to you! You know... the genuine article? Maybe that is the best way to proceed.

• Yes, finally!
• Best idea you've ever had.
• This sounds like a trick.
• ...

Jesse: For the love of... finally! Yes! That sounds like a perfect plan!

Admin: I'm so glad you agree.

Jesse: I’m really glad you think so, because I think that’s a good idea.

Admin: Aw, thanks, Jesse. I appreciate that.

Jesse: What’s your angle here? This is a trick, right?

Admin: Nope. No tricks, no angles, no games... just good ol’ Romeo telling it like it is.

Jesse says nothing.

Admin: Well, this has all been terribly enlightening and I think we’ve all learned some great lessons here... that I will totally remember for next time.

Jesse: Next time?

Admin: Yeah, the next world I build after I bedrock over yours. Oh, I'm going to get it totally right with that one!

Jesse: No!

Admin: A whole new set of people, a whole new world... I’ll be a great leader, a great friend, next time around. I should thank you for all these wonderful little lessons you’ve helped me learn. Oh! Maybe- maybe I’ll have more fjords in the next one. Love a good fjord. I wonder if there’s a way to make the next set of people any friendlier...

• We could still be friends!
• No way you're doing this.
• Give this world another chance.
• ...

Jesse: Now hang on a second Romeo- we can still be friends! You don’t have to bedrock over anything.

Admin: Yeah? You really think so?

Jesse: Yes.

Admin: Nah. Bedrocking time.

Jesse: There is no way I’m letting you do this.

Admin: Oh, well, you don’t really have much of a choice do you? Sorry, but it’s time to start fresh. Make a new world.

Jesse: Romeo, please! Give this world another chance. One more chance.

Admin: Could, would love to... but won't. Shan't. This way's easier for me.

Admin: Huh. Really would’ve thought you would have something to say there. Disappointing.

Admin: Ah, well... toodles!

The Admin disappears. Petra, Lukas and Jack make their way into the office from the stairs. Suddenly, a loud thud is heard.

Jack: Oh, this doesn’t seem good.

Jesse: You guys are okay!

Lukas: Yeah. He just blipped us back to the hallways again.

Another thud is heard.

Lukas: Such a... hoo! Such a jerk.

Jack: I don’t know how to stop this. How are we going to stop this?

Jesse: We need to take his powers away, find the Terminal Space!

Lukas: The roof. That’s where the Admin keeps his portal to the Terminal thing. Go!

Jesse: C’mon! We need to get to that portal before the bedrock closes up!

Lukas falls over.

Lukas: Go! Keep going!

Jesse: Stay safe, okay?

Lukas: That's what I was gonna say to you- ah!

Jesse: Okay guys. No telling what’s through here... so be safe.

The group hop through the portal.

Terminal Space

Jesse: (Looking around) We made it- we're here!

Petra: Yeah, but we don't know where here is.

Jesse looks towards a replica of the Admin's clock.

Jesse: Is that the... clock? From the Admin's tower?

Jack looks at a replica of the colossus and freaks out.

Jack: Agh- I mean, uh- I uh- found the Colossus.

Petra: The trip down memory lane is nice and all, but how do we find the Primary Terminal thing? There's so much stuff in here...

Jack: Yeah. Kinda hard to make sense of it all.

• [Use Word of Passage]
• Think like the Admin.
• Start looking around.
• ...

Jesse: HASHTAG POTATO FOUR FIVE ONE!

Jack: It was, uh, it was a good thought-

Assistant: Password protocol initiated!

Jesse: Hm. Well it's the Admin's place, right? So what would he do?

Jack: He'd probably know where he was going-

Assistant: Admin protocol initiated!

Jesse: The old fashioned way. Looking around. With our eyes. We have to find something that can help guide us.

Petra: What about-

Assistant: Support protocol initiated!

Petra: There’s gotta be SOMETHING around here that can help us-

Assistant: Support protocol initiated!

They all pull out their swords.

Petra: It's him!

They turn around to see a note block.

Jack: Oh, it's just more of his stupid recordings.

• (Used the Word of Passage)
• (Said "Think like the Admin.")
• (Said "Start looking around."/Said Nothing)

Assistant: You've selected "Password Protocol."

Assistant: You've selected "Admin Protocol."

Assistant: You've selected "Support Protocol."

Jesse: Oh. It's like an... automatic assistant, or something.

Assistant: Welcome to "Terminal Space."

The group look around.

Jesse: Well... shall we?

The group make their way through the Terminal Space.

Petra: So, wait. He has this whole... assistant thing set up, but only he ever comes here?

Assistant: The Automated Personal Assistant System was developed to aid the mighty Admin in menial tasks and help his friends navigate the Terminal Space.

Jesse: Man. So when he first made all this, he was still hoping his friends would come here too...

Petra: Kinda... makes me feel bad for him, actually. Nobody ever said it was easy to hang onto your friends.

The group walk through to the second room, where a strange construct stands.

Jesse: Is that-

The group walk up the stairs.

Assistant: Please enter your password to begin a new program.

Petra: I... that was all over my head.

Jack: (Thinking, walking in circles) Right, "Password." "Pass Word." That must be the word of passage! Hashtag Potato 451!

• (Optional Interactions)
• ...

• Look at Item Frame
• Look at Grid

Jesse: Guess we need to put something in there to get this thing going.

Jesse: (Standing back) Huh. What is this thing?

Jack: And what does it have to do with potato 4-5-1?

Jesse opens the chest to the right, to see that it's empty.

Jesse: It's... empty?

Assistant: Waiting for material request.

Petra: I mean... it must be talking about the potato, right?

Jesse: Sounds right to me. (To assistant) Uh... potato? Please?

Assistant: Acquiring... POTATOES.

Potatoes are sent into the chest.

Assistant: Items dispensed. Thank you!

Jesse takes two potatoes from the chest. One is normal and the other is poisoned.

Jesse: Wait. Two potatoes?

Petra: Yeah, a normal one... and a poisoned one. Which one do we use?

Jesse: I mean, the Word of Passage didn't say anything about poison... but it did have that weird "hashtag" thingy. That might mean something.

Jack: Oh, I don't think that symbol ever actually means anything.

Jesse: Hm. Gotta figure out which one is correct...

Jesse places the potato into the item frame.

• Place Poisonous Potato
• Place Potato

Jesse places the poisoned potato into the item frame.

Jesse: And there we go.

Jesse: I hope this is right.

Jesse places the potato into the item frame.

Jesse: I still need to enter the rest of the Word of Passage. Won't know if this is right or not 'til I do.

Jesse enters the numbers 4-5-1 using the block puzzle.

• Correct password
• Incorrect password

Jesse: Okay, okay, that sounds like progress, right?

Jesse: Hmm... Don't think that's exactly right.

• (Placed Poisoned Potato)
• (Placed Normal Potato)

A loud thud is heard and the ground shakes slightly. Jesse: Was that a good thud... or a bad thud?

A rock appears with a flock of red parrots dancing and flying to the music.

Assistant: Parrot Party Protocol initiated.

Jesse: Uh...

Jack: I-, um, I'm guessing that's not quite right.

Jesse: Agreed. (Removes potato from the Item Frame) Sorry, parrots.

Jesse places the poisoned potato into the Item Frame. A loud thud is heard and the ground shakes slightly.

Jesse: Was that a good thud... or a bad thud?

A hologram recording of Fred appears.

Jack: It's... Fred.

Fred: Xara... hi. If you’re seeing this recording, well... I guess the worst has happened, and you just put the Word of Passage into the Primary Terminal. I wish the Terminal could just take away Romeo’s Admin powers. It’d be easier that way, but making this gauntlet... was the best I could do.

The hologram walks down the stairs and towards a pedestal, before placing the gauntlet inside.

Fred: Put your hand into the pedestal to receive the gauntlet. It’s got the power to make Romeo... normal, again. It might take a few hits to remove his powers away entirely, but it’ll get the job done. Do you understand?

• Yes.
• Not at all.

Jesse nods their head.

Fred: Then good luck, Xara. You’re... I think you might need it.

Jesse shakes their head.

Fred: Put your hand into the pedestal to receive the gauntlet. It’s got the power to make Romeo... normal, again. It might take a few hits to remove his powers away entirely, but it’ll get the job done. Do you understand?

(The above dialogue will repeat until Not at all. is chosen for a third time, which will result in the below outcome.)

Jack: Jesse, seriously? I think Fred's being pretty clear. The potato gave us this pedestal, which is gonna give us a glove. You put that on, you punch the Admin around a few times... powers gone! I think we’ll figure it out as we go.

Jesse: Here goes nothin'.

Jesse starts walking towards the gauntlet, before the Admin appears in front of them.

Admin: What do you think you're doing?!

The Admin looks at Fred's hologram, worriedly.

Admin: What's happening?

Jesse: We're here to stop you, Romeo. Once and for all.

Admin: (Ascending) I told you... your world's done! NO TAKEBACKS!

The Admin spawns 4 Prismarine Colossi into the Terminal.

Jack: Jesse, hurry!

Jesse punches their fist into the pedestal, equipping the gauntlet and causing an energy wave to destroy the colossi.

Admin: What!?

Fred: GAUNTLET... DELIVERED. GOLD PROTOCOL.

Jesse: Well, this should come in handy.

The Admin teleports to the puzzle and looks around at it, confused.

Admin: What have you done?!

Jesse starts running towards the Admin.

Admin: This is your big plan? To run directly at me?

Jesse punches the Admin with the golden gauntlet, knocking him down, removing his zapping powers and causing him to glitch.

Admin: (Standing up) I don't know what you're playing at, but it ends... now!

The Admin tries to clap the group out of existence, but nothing happens.

Admin: I said it ends... now!

The Admin tries again, but nothing happens.

Admin: I... what? I'm... oh, you think you're very clever, don't you? Well how about we finish this, with a little change of scenery?

Jesse is transported to a replica of the Sea Temple.

Jesse: The... the sea temple?

The Admin appears behind Jesse, in his Vos form.

Vos: Callou callay, Jesse. Remember when we first met? Oh, that was back when I thought we could still be... friends.

Jesse runs towards him and tries to punch him with the gauntlet, but misses.

Vos: Huh, figures.

Vos re-appears, quickly growing to the size of a colossus.

Vos: This temple, this challenge, was my first gift to you. Now... it's going to be where I bury you.

Vos attempts to crush Jesse, who dodges it and begins running to the other side of the platform.

Vos: Running out of platform, Jesse.

Vos crushes the other side of the platform and Jesse jumps out of the way.

Vos: Nowhere to run...

Jesse: Agh!!!

Vos crushes Jesse, laughing to himself, before lifting his fist and seeing they're still alive.

Vos: Unbelievable.

Jesse: (To themselves) I can still use the gauntlet.

Vos: Just die already!

Vos punches Jesse, who blocks it with the gauntlet. Jesse uses the gauntlet to push Vos' fist back, acting as a punch to remove his size manipulation power and cause him to glitch further. Vos begins to shrink.

Vos: No, I- this is impossible. No one gets to make me small!

Vos attempts to regrow himself, but fails.

Vos: I can't... why do I feel so-

Jesse: Powerless?

Jesse runs towards Vos, before being transported to a replica of the Admin's Icy Palace of Despair. The Admin appears in his Snowman form.

Jesse: Come on!

Admin: I certainly hope you're enjoying this trip down memory lane as much as I am.

Jesse pulls out their sword before the Admin throws a fireball towards them. Jesse deflects the fireball with their sword and sends it back towards the Admin, who then falls to the ground. Jesse runs towards the Admin and punches him with the gauntlet, taking away his projectile powers and causing him to glitch further. The Admin attempts to create a fireball, but it disappears instantly.

Admin: Gah! Oh, I am very much starting to hate that stupid gauntlet!

Jesse: The games are over, Admin. Give it up!

Admin: Oh, I am going to-

Jesse runs towards the Admin and grabs him.

Admin: You don't- don't touch me!

• (Sent Petra to Get the Clock)
• (Sent Jack to Get the Clock)

The Admin equips a form that causes him to appear as Petra, with the same clothing she wore when she was held as the Admin's champion.

Admin: Well hi, Jesse.

Jesse: Petra?!

Admin: Aren’t you happy to see me? Our friendship’s gotten a little rocky on this adventure, hasn’t it? Little... worn thin? I wonder who did that.

Jesse: I'm not listening to you, Admin.

Admin: No? That's a shame. Here I thought it would be a nice way of working through some things.

The Admin equips a form that causes him to appear as Jack, with the same clothing he wore when he was held as the Admin's champion.

Admin: Well ahoy there, Jesse.

Jesse: Jack?

Admin: Care for a dance with the Velvet Tornado? You wouldn’t attack ol’ Jack, right? Not after everything we’ve been through together?

Jesse: There's just one problem. You're not Jack!

Admin: Maybe not, but it’s certainly a nice form to use when I destroy you.

Jesse slashes the Admin with their sword, knocking him over, then runs towards him with the gauntlet.

Admin: Augh! Get... get off me!

The Admin teleports himself and Jesse to a replica of the cabin in Romeoburg. He is using Fred's appearance as his form.

Admin: (Looking around) Oh, no. Oh, no no no no no- not here. Not as... him.

Jesse walks towards the Admin, ready to punch him with the gauntlet.

Admin: Wait, please. Please stop. Don't take all my powers away. Without them... I don't know what I'd do. You can't take that from me.

• [Help Him]
• The power isn't important.
• You abused them, Romeo.
• ...

Jesse holds out the gauntlet for the Admin, who grins devilishly before lunging towards Jesse.

Jesse: Those powers aren't what make you special, Romeo. Powers don't make anyone special. It's who you are. How you act.

Admin: Don't you judge me. You don't get to judge me!

The Admin looks at the gauntlet, then lunges towards Jesse.

Jesse: You abused your powers, Romeo. It's time you paid for everything you've done.

Admin: Don't you judge me. You don't get to judge me!

The Admin looks at the gauntlet, then lunges towards Jesse.

Admin: Don't you judge me. You don't get to judge me!

The Admin looks at the gauntlet, then lunges towards Jesse.

Admin: Give me back that gauntlet! That's the cause of all this!

Jesse: Let go!

Jesse pushes the Admin into a wall and they both teleport back to the Terminal, where Jack and Petra are standing. The Admin gets back up and tries to teleport, which fails.

Admin: I can't even teleport anymore! Aghhhh!!!

Jesse: You're through, Admin. It's over.

Jack: You can say that again.

Petra: How's that level playing field feel, huh, jerk?

Admin: (Backing away) Get away from me!

The Admin uses telekinesis to grab a nearby rock, throwing it towards the group. They dodge it. The Admin ascends and tries to throw another rock at Jesse. Jesse jumps onto the rock and launches towards the Admin, before punching him with the gauntlet and taking away his telekinesis powers. The Admin is sent flying. Jesse falls back down.

Jesse: Ahhhhh!!!

Petra, who is standing on one of the floating rocks, grabs Jesse by the hand. The Admin attempts to throw another rock at Jesse, but fails.

Admin: Argh! I'd rather die than let you beat me! I am gonna destroy you, all of you!

The Admin flies towards Jesse, grabbing them and trying to retrieve the gauntlet.

Admin: Once I get my hands back on that gauntlet! Give... it.... here!

Jesse: No! Romeo, come one!

Jack jumps from a floating rock and intervenes - sending Jesse, the Admin and the gauntlet back onto the floor.

Jesse: The gauntlet!

Admin: No! It's mine! IT'S MINE!

Jack grabs the Admin by the foot, to stop him from reaching the gauntlet.

Jack: I've got him, Jesse! Go for it! Quickly!

The Admin punches Jack in the face, sending him away.

Jack: Gah!

Jesse equips the gauntlet before the Admin can reach it.

Jesse: Administrate this.

Jesse punches the Admin and sends him flying to the edge of the Terminal, where he falls back onto the ground and reverts to his original form.

Romeo: (Struggling to stand up) Why’d you have to go and make everything so... difficult? Everyone likes you... and you’re nothing.

Petra: Hey, we’re not the ones trying to rule the world.

Romeo: What? No, no, I’m not! I just... I just wanted people to... people to...

The terminal begins to break apart.

Romeo: Wait, this place is held together by my powers. No more powers, no more Terminal Zone. We’re doomed.

Petra: We’re gonna get buried if we don’t get out of here pronto!

Jack: What about him?

Petra: What about him? He’s not our problem anymore.

Jack: But... look at him. He’ll never make it out of here on his own.

Romeo: She's right. Just leave me.

• (Said "You abused them, Romeo.")
• (Said Anything Else)

Romeo: My powers are the cause of all this in the first place... I deserve to stay here and pay for the mess I made.

Romeo: My power... it was just frosting on a cake. An empty, worthless cake. This is where I belong. This is where I’ll pay for what I’ve done.

Romeo: I can’t believe that- that this is what it took for me to realize. I’ve been... just so stupid. So blind.

• You can redeem yourself.
• That's not for you to decide.
• You never deserved power.
• ...

Jesse: You can still fix things, Romeo. No matter what you’ve done, you’re still a person. Like everyone else. You can be redeemed.

Romeo: Redeemed... you... you really believe that, don’t you?

Jesse: That’s not up to you. You've hurt a lot of people.

Romeo: Then... what are you going to do with me?

Romeo: You should have never had that kind of power in the first place. Look at where it got you.

Romeo: Yeah, and it’ll all be over soon.

Romeo: Leave me. Save yourselves while you can.

Petra: Jesse, now's the time. We gotta go!

Romeo: Go on, leave me. I deserve to stay in this oblivion.

Petra: C'mon! This place is falling apart!

Jack: We can decide what happens to him later. Let's grab him and go, now!

• You're not staying.
• Goodbye, Romeo.
• ...

Jesse: You’re not staying here. That would be the coward’s way out. C'mon!

Jesse pulls Romeo up and brings him along.

Jesse: Goodbye, Romeo.

Jesse leaves.

Petra rolls her eyes and approaches Jesse.

Petra: We’re out of time, Jesse!

Petra grabs Jesse by the arm.

Petra: Sorry, Romeo.

The group run back to the portal, to see that lava is slowly spewing towards it.

Jesse: If that lava gets to the portal before we do, we'll be stuck here forever!

Petra: Then let's move!

Jesse slides under a lavafall, before the platform starts to disappear. Jesse runs to the edge and jumps to the other platform, where Petra grabs them by the hand and the group help pull them up. They continue running to the portal.

Jesse: Almost there! Everyone, keep moving-

A giant Prismarine Colossus appears from below and breaks through the platform on ascension.

Jack: Look out!

Jesse jumps backwards, before the colossus destroys more of the platform with its fist.

• (Saved Romeo)
• ...

Romeo: I... I don't have my powers... I can't control it!

The Colossus roars at the group and raises its fist, preparing to destroy the group.

• (Brought Fred's People)
• (Brought Radar)

Radar sprints to the group and stops to catch his breath.

Jesse: Radar!? But... but how?!

Radar: Xara... helped... fixed... portal... ran all the way... so tired...

Petra: All the way here? By yourself?

Radar: Not really!

The giant Enderman teleports into the Terminal Space and fights the Colossus.

Petra: Are you guys seeing this!?

Jesse: Run for it! Now!

Radar: So tired of running!

The giant Enderman rips the Colossus' head off, then disappears. The group hop into the portal.

Romeo: (Waving a torch) Oi! Stone face! Over here!

The Colossus looks towards Romeo and roars.

Romeo: I'm the one you want- come and get it!

• (Saved Romeo)
• (Left Romeo)

Jesse: What are you doing!?

Romeo: Penance, Jesse. I did say I would pay for my mistakes, eh?

Jesse: But, you're-

Romeo: Saving your lives.

The Colossus chases Romeo across the platform.

Petra: Is he-

Jesse: Saving us? I think so.

Admin: I told you! I told you I'd pay for what I did!

The Colossus approaches Romeo.

Romeo: Yeah, come on. That's a good Colossus!

Jesse: Run for it! Now!

The group hop into the portal. Jesse looks back and watches as the Colossus crushes Romeo, killing him, then hops into the portal with the others.

Admin's Office

Jesse, Petra and Jack arrive back at the Admin's office.

Petra: Ha ha! We're alive! We. Are. Alive!

Jesse: Yeah, and not a minute too soon!

• (Brought Fred's People)
• ...

Radar jumps out of the portal.

Radar: Oh my gosh! It’s not still following me, right? Right?

Jack: Nah, I think you’re in the clear, Slim. (To Jesse) Hey, nice work.

• (Saved Romeo)
• ...

Romeo: I... I thank you. Sincerely. I hardly believe that I deserve to be here at all, anymore. I do know what I need to do to make up for my crimes though. I am going to return to the Underneath. Try to help all the people I left behind. Fix all the lives I... ruined.

• (Gave Xara Her Bed)
• (Didn't Give Xara Her Bed)

Romeo: And I’m going to try and find Xara. See if I can’t make things right between us... Doesn’t make up for what I... what I did to Fred. But if I can heal things with Xara- it’s something at least. And... and no more Admin powers. Everything I do now will just be the normal way. Hope I can still remember how the “normal way” even works...

• That's only a start.
• She'll probably kill you.
• She'd like to see you.
• ...

Jesse: That sounds fine, Romeo. But it’s only the start. You have got a lot of making up to do.

Romeo: I know. It’s true.

Jesse: I think you might want to stay away from her, Romeo. I honestly think she might just kill you if she sees you again.

Romeo: Well then that’s a risk I have to take. She’s... sort of the only friend I have left. Seems fitting that my only friend wants to kill me...

Jesse: It’ll probably be a shock at first, but I think she’d like to try and reconcile too.

Romeo: Yeah I hope so. She’s... sort of the only friend I have left now.

Romeo: I... yes... I know. I know it’s not enough. But I have to try.

Romeo: It can’t even begin to make up for what I did to Xara. I can’t believe I did that... I didn’t mean... I mean it shouldn’t have- It’s like it wasn’t even me. I can’t explain it and I know no excuses will make up for it.

• You can't be forgiven.
• That's only a start.
• Honor her memory.
• ...

Jesse: I don’t know if there’s anything you can do to make up for what you did to Xara. That was cruel. And completely unnecessary.

Romeo: Yeah, I know... but I still want to try.

Jesse: That sounds fine, Romeo. But it’s only the start. You have got a lot of making up to do.

Romeo: I know. It’s true.

Jesse: You need to promise to make something good out of this. Especially for her. She died because she was trying to fix mistakes from the past.

Romeo: I know she did... And I don’t want that to be in vain.

Romeo: I... yes... I know. I know it’s not enough. But I have to try.

Lukas: Saved the world again, huh? Doesn’t that ever get old?

Jesse looks towards the lower platform to see Lukas, waiting for the group.

Jesse: Why yes, thank you for noticing. Thought we’d fit in a light bit of world-saving before afternoon pie time. (Hugs Lukas)

Lukas: Happy to see you all in one piece, too.

• (Brought Fred's People)
• (Brought Radar)

• (Saved Romeo)
• (Left Romeo)

Lukas: (Looks up) Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Is that the Admin? Is he-

Jesse: Don’t worry. He’s not the Admin anymore.

Petra: This is Romeo.

Lukas: Well that’s a relief. No more Admins for me, thank you very much.

Jack: I agree with that 112%, blondie.

Lukas: But Jesse, after everything he did, do you- do you really think he deserves to go free? What if he hurts more people? He might- he might’ve been better off where he was.

• I couldn't leave him there.
• Romeo is harmless now.
• He'll pay for his crimes.
• ...

Jesse: I know he was terrible, but I saw him sitting there... and I just couldn’t do it. Even if he did deserve it, I just couldn’t live with myself if I trapped him there.

Lukas: Well that’s because you’re a good person, Jesse. But... I just hope it was the right decision.

Jesse: He doesn’t have his Admin powers anymore. Now... he’s just Romeo. He’s harmless.

Petra: Yeah, I’d worry more about people wanting to hurt him. Lotta people out there who might want a piece of the ol’ Admin...

Jesse: Oh he’s free, but he’s not going anywhere. He’s gonna make up for all the bad stuff he’s done.

Jack: I forsee many, many hours of community service in his future. Like, thousands.

Lukas: Well, that’s because you’re a good person, Jesse. But I just hope it was the right decision.

Lukas: And what about the Admin? Did, ah. Did he not make it?

Jack: He’s... still inside. The Terminal, I mean.

Petra: Yeah. Jesse left him there.

Lukas: Whoa. Like... trapped? Forever? Don't you think that's a little harsh? I mean... forever is a long time.

Petra: Yeah...

• He deserved even worse.
• He's in his own prison now.
• He wasn't going to change.
• ...

Jesse: He’s lucky that’s all that happened. After everything he did, I wouldn’t have minded if something even worse happened to him.

Lukas: Yeah, uh, wow, when you put it that way... I’m just glad I’m not him right now.

Jesse: As many people as the Admin has thrown into his prisons, it seems fitting that he gets a little prison time of his own.

Lukas: I get that, I do. But... man. Still can’t help but feel a little bad.

Jesse: I could tell that he wasn’t going to change. And even without his powers... he’d be too dangerous to be out in the world.

Lukas: That’s you. Always looking at the big picture. I get it...

Lukas: Sorry. I know it’s probably still a little fresh.

Lukas: And what about the Admin? Did, ah. Did he not make it?

Jesse: Crazy as it seems... at the end, the Admin sacrificed himself.

Jack: Yeah. Romeo ended up saving all of us.

Lukas: Seriously? That doesn’t sound like the Admin to me.

Jack: It was actually pretty noble.

Petra: Yeah I... don’t know how we would’ve gotten out without him, actually.

• It wasn't enough
• He was redeemed.
• I tried to save him.
• I left him to rot.
• ...

Jesse: Yeah. And I’m happy to be alive, but it’s still not enough to make up for all the bad he did.

Lukas: No... I guess it's not.

Jesse: Yeah, I guess in the end he actually redeemed himself. He went out trying to do the right thing.

Lukas: Pretty high cost though.

(If Jesse tried to save Romeo)

Jesse: I tried to save him... bring him with us. But he didn’t make it out.

Lukas: You were still a good person for trying, Jesse.

(If Jesse left Romeo)

Jesse: I left him there to be trapped in his collapsing Terminal... and he still helped us.

Lukas: Well, it sounds like maybe there was something decent inside him after all.

Petra: Hmph. Super deep inside.

Lukas: I'm sorry. I know it's probably not easy to talk about.

Lukas: Well, I'm just glad that all of you are okay. And I guess... I guess this is all over?

Jesse: Yeah. Yeah, I guess it is. What do you guys say we head home?

Jack: I say "way ahead of you," friend.

Petra: Ha, me too.

• (Brought Fred's People)
• ...

Radar: Man, I cannot wait to put a shirt on again!

The group leave the floating tower.

Beacontown

The people of Beacontown come together to rebuild what was broken and take apart the floating terminal. Jesse sits over a balcony and sighs of relief.

Ivor: Jesse!

Jesse looks back to see Ivor, who is now wearing his green adventuring outfit.

Ivor: I am approaching you from this direction and am coming to speak with you! No ninja trickery, hijinks, or tomfoolery here! Both my actions and my intentions are crystal clear...

• Ivor, where are you?
• You know I can see you...
• Thanks for the heads up.
• ...

Jesse: (Sarcastically) Huh? I think I can hear Ivor... but I don’t see him!

Ivor: I'm right here! Hello! Clearly in view!

Jesse: (Sarcastically) Oh! There you are. Hi, Ivor!

Ivor: Yes, hello. Hm.

Jesse: Yeah, I mean... I mean you’re right there. I can see you.

Ivor: I know, I know, but I’m trying not to sneak up on people anymore!

Jesse: Ha, after all the times you’ve snuck up on me recently, I appreciate that.

Ivor: Precisely my intention! My days of sneaking up on people are behind me.

Ivor: You can see me, right? I’m not sneaking up on you?

Jesse: So, no more “Ninja Ivor,” then?

Ivor: Ha! No, no. I decided it was time to stop running around in my pajamas and start trying to fix a few messes... starting with trying to heal the rift between my old friends...

• (Took Ellegaard's Armor in Season 1)
• (Took Magnus' Armor in Season 1)

Ivor: Magnus is easy. We’ll just pop by Boom Town...

Ivor: Ellie will be easy. Just need to stop by Redstonia...

Ivor: Last I heard, Gabriel was doing the "wandering warrior" thing. Soren? No idea where he is, but I've got some leads.

• It'll be worth it.
• They may not forgive you.
• Your friends will like that.
• ...

Jesse: Yeah, take it from me, it might be awkward... but I swear, it'll be worth it.

Ivor: Good to know. It won’t be the first time I’ve created an awkward situation!

Jesse: You can apologize. But they might not forgive you.

Ivor: I know, and they don’t have to. Admitting my wrongs would be its own reward.

Jesse: Aw man, that’s awesome! They’re gonna be so excited!

Ivor: You think so? That’s certainly the way I’m hoping it will happen...

Ivor: Yes... this is excellent practice for the awkward silence that might ensue.

Ivor: Well, I suppose it’s time for me to go. This has been fun though, hasn’t it?

Radar: Jesse! Jesse, hey!

Jesse: What’s up Radar? I was just saying goodbye to-

Jesse looks back towards Ivor, who is no longer present.

Jesse: Guess ninja habits die hard.

Jesse jumps down from the building to Radar, who is looking towards the floating terminal.

Radar: I, uh, hope you don’t mind... but I’ve kinda been taking charge of the Beautification Project. (Looks up) I thought why not at least make it look intentional? Really stepping it up to leader-mode, if I do say so myself. And it’s been... stressful! But also fun? So, like, fun stressful. Stressfun? Anyway. I think I’ve been doing a pretty good job.

• You learned from the best.
• Stay humble, Radar.
• I'm so proud of you.
• ...

Jesse: Well, you had a pretty great role model, if I do say so myself.

Radar: Yeah, Lukas is an amazing guy.

Jesse crosses their arms and stares.

Radar: Joke!

Jesse: Being a leader is about staying humble. It's not a destination- it's a journey.

Radar: Yes, I get it. And I just learned what you said. I’m killin’ it as a leader!

Jesse: You’ve definitely been stepping it up! I’m really proud of you.

Radar: Oh. Wow... this is... best day.

Jesse says nothing.

Lluna grabs Jesse's back to get their attention.

Jesse: Whoa- oh! Hey, Lluna.

• (Supported Stella)
• (Didn't Support Stella)

Stella: Anyway, ah...

• (Gave Xara Her Bed)
• (Didn't Give Xara Her Bed)

Stella: So with Champion City gone... I was going to make Lluna a new llama-house, get her set up here in Beacontown while I help out up there.

Stella: So, I was thinking about heading back to Champion City today and was thinking about taking this one here with me.

Stella: But, uh, before I did, I thought I’d double-check and see if you’d already been planning on... you know... watching out for her? Seeing, you know, as she likes you so much and all. If you’ve already built her a llama house when I haven’t been around, I just wouldn’t want to double up. Which, by the way, I’d be okay with you doing. If you’d already built one. Or were planning to. I just wanna be sure.

• I'll take care of Lluna.
• She should stay with you.

Jesse: If she wants to stick with me it’d be my honor to keep taking care of her.

Stella: I think she’ll really like that.

Lluna jumps up and down in excitement.

• (Supported Lluna)
• (Didn't Support Lluna)

Jesse: I always considered you a part of the family.

Jesse: I may not have appreciated you before, but I’m coming around. I’m excited for us to spend more quality time together.

Jesse pets Lluna.

Stella: Okay... well... ugh. Stupid emotions.

Jesse: I can tell you mean a lot to each other... in your own weird ways. I wouldn’t want to come between that.

Stella: Yes, yes that’s true. I really am sorry for how I acted, Lluna. How I treated you. And I hope that if you’ll stay with me... you’ll let me prove that I can be better.

Lluna nods in agreement.

Stella: Oh, Lluna darling. I can’t tell you how much this means.

Stella: I do want to sincerely thank you, Jesse. For everything. You saw me... at my worst, and you still thought I was worth saving. That, well, that makes me want to try better at being my best. Hoping I can start by helping clean up this dump- ahem. Poor town.

• No more rivalry.
• You WERE the worst!
• I knew you were good.
• ...

Jesse: I guess our rivalry is over. I finally put it to an end.

Stella: Actually, I ended our rivalry. I can end a rivalry way better than you. I’m not proud of it, Jesse, but I was a little, tiny bit weirdly obsessed with you.

Petra: Oh! Are we talking about Stella being a weirdo stalker now?

Jesse: Ha, yeah you kind of were the worst.

Stella: You might say I was the best at it.

Petra: What was that about Stella being the worst?

Jesse: What can I say? I looked below the surface and saw that you probably weren’t the worst all the way down.

Petra: What was that about Stella being the worst?

Stella: Anyway I just hope you can forgive me someday and that we might have a shot at being friends, you know, when I’m not the worst anymore.

Petra: What was that about Stella being the worst?

Jesse: Ha, hey!

• (Kept Lluna)
• (Didn't Keep Lluna)

Jesse: I was just telling Stella here that I would take care of Lluna for her.

Petra: Oh. Cool. Well she seems very excited.

Stella: Yes, and now I must go. Thank you again for everything. Sincerely.

Stella walks back to Champion City.

Jesse: Stella and I were just talking about what a crazy road it’s been.

Petra: Yeah, no kiddin’.

Stella: Yes... well we need to be running. Oh, and... thank you again. For everything.

Stella and Lluna walk back to Champion City.

Stella: No, Lluna! Bad! That is the real Jesse. We don’t like the real Jesse, remember? Let’s just ignore these losers and be on our way, hm? You understand.

• Our rivalry is very much alive.
• You're bad at ignoring people.
• Sorry about Champion City.
• Please, just go already.
• ...

Jesse: (Sarcastically) So glad to see our rivalry is still very much alive.

Stella: Oh this has gone way beyond a simple rivalry at this point. We are, without a doubt, full blown enemies.

Jesse: If you’re trying to ignore us, you’re doing a pretty bad job.

Stella: I’m done playing your little games, Jesse. My precious Champion City needs me to restore it to greatness! No more time to waste.

(If Jesse gave Xara her bed)

Jesse: Stella, listen. I’m really sorry about what happened to-

Stella: Don’t. Even. If it wasn’t for you and your little gang telling the Admin off in the first place, I’d still have my home.

(If Jesse didn't give Xara her bed)

Jesse: Ugh, are you still here? Could you just go already?

Stella: Hmph. My pleasure.

Stella: Well I certainly won’t miss this patented Jesse stare that I hate so much.

• (Brought Lluna)
• (Brought Nurm)

Stella: Lluna, now!

Lluna spits at Stella.

Stella: Agh, Lluna!

Jesse and Radar laugh.

Stella: You- ugh! You’re all the worst! None of you are ever going to be welcome in the new Champion City, mark my words!

Jesse: Bye bye for now, Stella!

Petra: Man, Stella is the absolute worst.

Jesse: Ha, hey. Look who’s sticking around.

Petra: Well after all that time we spent traveling together through the Underneath... you’re not so bad.

Stella: You coming, sweetie?

Lluna goes to Stella.

Stella: Good girl. We’re going to rebuild Champion City together and it’s going to be wonderful!

Petra: Man, Stella is the absolute worst. Can’t believe Lluna went with Stella after everything. Although... I guess she did get left behind in the Sunshine Institute.

Jesse: Eesh, yeah. That’s fair.

Jack: (To Petra) Now, you got everything you need? All packed and double-checked?

Petra: (Rolling her eyes) Yes, Jack.

Jack: This is very bittersweet for me, y’know. Goodbyes are... no good.

Nurm: ["We’ve said ‘em too much, lately."]

Jack: That we have, Nurmie. So I won’t say it this time. Not to people that I will see again.

Petra: You got it. (To Jesse) C'mon, walk me to the gate.

Jesse and Petra walk towards the entrance gate to Beacontown.

Jesse: So... you’re leaving apparently? For how long?

Petra: Honestly? Probably a while. But! It’s good this time. I’m doing it for me. I’m trying to, like, grow or whatever. Anyway, I’m about to say goodbye to everyone and I- AHH!

Petra is picked up by Axel and Olivia for a hug.

Olivia: C'mere.

Axel: I promised myself I wouldn’t cry. Promise broken!

Petra: Aw geez, it’ll be okay!

Lukas: So Petra’s heading off into the great unknown, huh? I figured. Definitely sounds exciting. You could start a new town, find temples or dungeons or... whatever you hack-n-slash types do.

• You could go with her.
• It'll be rough out there.
• This makes her happy.
• ...

Jesse: I bet Petra would extend the invite. You could go too.

Lukas: I appreciate that, but... I think it’s time I settled down here. I just got the Ocelots back together. Thought maybe I’d work on a new book...

Jesse: Life on the open road is hard. Foraging for food, shivering in the cold night, constantly looking out for monsters...

Lukas: Yeah, I think I’m closing that chapter of my life for a while. It’s time to settle down. Here.

Jesse: Everyone’s gotta find their happy place. For Petra, it’s mostly in unexplored forests and caves.

Lukas: Yeah, I think I’m closing that chapter of my life for a while. It’s time to settle down. Here.

Lukas: I mean, I get it. I see the appeal. But lately, I’ve just really felt the pull to settle down, y’know? Maybe start on a new book.

Axel: Hey! You guys are missing out on prime group hug action!

Petra: Augh! No air. Actually dying.

Axel: You don’t think this is, like, the last time we’ll all be together, do you?

Olivia: No. Well maybe. I dunno! I mean, if Petra’s leaving...

Petra: Now hang on, let’s not put all the pressure on me, here.

Axel: Maybe I’ll go on an adventure too.

Lukas: You totally could man, there’s nothing stopping you.

• We'll see each other again.
• Until the world needs saving.
• We're friends no matter what.
• ...

Jesse: Nah. I’ve got a feeling we’ll all be together again. Don’t know when, don’t know where... but it’ll happen.

Axel: I hope so. That sounds nice.

Jesse: Well, I mean, until the world needs saving again. That always seems to act as a nice reunion.

Olivia: Hopefully- hopefully not too soon though.

Jesse: Even if it is? No matter what, we’ll always be best friends. And I know that you’ll all be the best friends I ever had.

Olivia: The mystery’s fun though, right?

Axel: Sad mystery, but I guess.

Axel: Okay, well, I’m going to get out of here before I- (Bursts into sobs) too late!

Olivia: (Patting Axel's shoulder) Bye guys.

Jesse and Petra watch as Axel and Olivia walk out of Beacontown.

Lukas: Be safe out there, okay?

Petra: The safest. And when you finish that book of yours, I better have a great part in it.

Lukas: (Chuckles) Uh huh.

Petra turns to Jesse.

• (Said "I'll be right by your side.")
• (Said "I'll always wait for you.")
• (Said Nothing)

Petra: Back in the Admin’s cabin, I know you promised that we’d always stick together...

Petra: I know back in Admin’s cabin, you said you’d you always be waiting in Beacontown...

Petra: When we talked at the cabin about, y’know, the future and stuff, I never got a straight answer from you...

Petra: But, the invite’s still open if you want it. No pressure.

Radar: Wait, you're leaving?

• [Stay in Beacontown]
• [Hit the Road]

Jesse: Beacontown’s pretty cool. I don’t wanna miss seeing it get even cooler.

Radar: Ohhh I was hoping that’s what you’d say.

Petra reaches the gate and looks back to Jesse, who waves goodbye. Petra waves back.

Jesse: See ya, Petra.

Radar: I, for one, am incredibly excited! And I can keep being your intern!

Lukas: Oh come on, intern? He hasn’t earned a promotion yet?

Radar: Executive intern!

Lukas: Intern-in-chief.

Radar: Oh, Director of Internal affairs.

• "Co-Hero In Residence."
• "Honorary Clockmaster."
• "Senior Intern."
• "Friend."
• ...

Jesse: Of course he’s earned a promotion! He's "Co-Hero In Residence" now.

Lukas: Nice!

Radar: (Holding Jesse's hand) Thanks boss. This... ah. You have been... you are... what I’m trying to say is that I promise I’ll make you proud.

Jesse: (Hand on Radar's shoulder) You already have.

(If Jesse sent Radar to guard the clock)

Jesse: He already got a promotion ages ago, remember? "Clockmaster."

Lukas: But there’s no Clock anymore-

Radar: I know! It’s perfect! I need to build one! Ah! Thank you Jesse!

(If Jesse sent Lukas to guard the clock)

Jesse: Oh, uh, yeah. Definitely getting a promotion. I hereby promote you from Intern to... “Senior Intern!”

Lukas: Uh, isn’t he the only-

Radar: I love it! I won’t let you down, Jesse!

Jesse: (Hand on Radar's shoulder) I know you won't.

Jesse: Oh, well your internship is definitely over with. How about you just be my friend?

Radar: (Holding back tears) That’s my favorite job title... I’ve ever heard.

Lukas: Holding back the waterworks okay there?

Radar: No promises.

Lukas: Well... maybe nobody needs fancy titles anymore. Let’s just make some cool stuff!

Radar: I like the sound of that!

Jesse: C’mon you guys. Let’s head back to the Hall.

Radar catches up with the group.

Radar: Guys! Guys! Jesse decided to stay!

Jack: I... I never even knew the opposite was a possibility! But I’m glad to hear it!

Radar: I know, me too!

Radar: Just think about all the amazing things we’ll be able to do! The new buildings, the new inventions, the new structures... I’ve got some big plans, big big plans, that I want to pitch you. It’ll be great! I swear! First, I think we should set up a couple of meetings. Maybe see about a conference with the firework guild, get a celebratory display going, finally- finally- do that lunch with the Followers of Soren. Oh, oh, oh!- and I finally checked the mail chest and, boy were we behind on our correspondence. You received a letter from someone named Aiden? Something about wanting to redeem himself. No idea what that means. And a rather cryptic note from someone with the initials “WP” that just said “Look out.” Strange.

(The above dialogue can be interrupted at any moment, depending on which of the below choices are picked. If the Radar! option is picked then the dialogue will instantly stop, unlike almost all other dialogue choices where Jesse will allow another character to finish their current sentence before speaking.)

• Radar.
• Radar?
• Radar!
• [Let Him Finish]

Jesse: Radar.

(Radar will keep talking, unless the Radar! option is picked or Jesse waits for him to finish what he's saying.)

Jesse: Ahem. Radar?

(Radar will keep talking, unless the Radar! option is picked or Jesse waits for him to finish what he's saying.)

Jesse: Yo! Radar!

Jesse says nothing.

Radar: Anyway! Point is, we’ve got a lot of work to do and I can’t wait to start!

Jesse: Me neither, pal.

The heroes walk to the Order Hall.

Jesse: Yeah. I think Petra and I are gonna hit the road for a while.

Radar gasps.

Lukas: (Nudging Radar) Sounds pretty awesome, right?

Radar: Yeah... yeah I mean it does. But... but without you here, who will run Beacontown? Things are peaceful now... but danger could still strike at any time. The people could, uh, they could revolt or something.

• You of course!
• Let the people decide.

Jesse: Who do you think, pal? You!

Radar: Me? Really?!

Jesse: Yeah. I hereby promote you from intern... to Hero-In-Residence.

Radar: (Holding Jesse's hand) Thanks boss. This... ah. You have been... you are... what I’m trying to say is that I promise I’ll make you proud.

Jesse: (Hand on Radar's shoulder) You already have.

Jesse: We should let the people of Beacontown decide.

Radar: Right on. I’m confident I can earn their trust.

Jesse: (Hand on Radar's shoulder) Hey, remember you’re an invaluable member of this place.

Radar: Everyone’s going to miss you, y’know.

Jesse: And I’m going to miss them too. But if anyone ever really needs me... I’ll be around.

Lukas rolls his eyes and walks Radar back to the others.

• (Kept Lluna)
• ...

Jesse: C'mon, Lluna.

Jesse looks back as their friends wave to them. Jesse waves back.

Jesse: Bye, everyone.

Petra keeps walking, not looking back, but Jesse catches up.

Jesse: Hey dummy! You gonna wait up or what?

Jesse stops to catch their breath and Petra smiles.

Petra: I was kinda hoping you’d be interested in a race.

Jesse: Ha! You’re on!

The gang race into the distance.

The End.
