Order Up!/Transcript

The following is a transcript of Episode 5: Order Up! of Telltale Games' Minecraft: Story Mode.

Jungle[]

Jesse sneaks behind a tree, while many mobs pass by. They draw out their sword and slowly approach a group of zombies, before taking them down. Some skeletons draw their bows from behind.

Petra: Look out!

Petra jumps down from a tree and takes out the monsters from above.

Jesse: Thanks.

Axel: Hey, Jesse! Check this out!

Axel is holding two zombies in his arms.

Axel: Aaaand 3, 2, 1... POP!

Axel suffocates the zombies in between his arms to death.

Axel: Pretty cool, right?

Another zombies approaches Axel from behind.

Axel: You can try it too if you-

Jesse: Duck!

Jesse takes out the zombie.

Axel: Dude! You're getting pretty good at this.

Axel and Jesse both high-five each other

Olivia: You guys are working way too hard.

Olivia builds a redstone contraption and presses a button that activates it and shoots multiple arrows at the monsters in order to take them out.

Jesse: You’re always looking to one-up us, aren’t you?

Jesse takes out a zombie that approaches them from behind. The group stare at a large temple nearby.

Jesse: That is one seriously cool temple.

Petra: Yeah. Points for Ivor, I guess. This was a good tip.

Olivia: Well, Jesse?

Axel: So... are we doing this?

Olivia: I think Jesse's just taking it all in.

For the glory, Order of the Stone!
Let's get some treasure!
Danger, here we come!
...

Jesse: Order of the Stone? It's time to get some glory!

Everyone: For glory!

Jesse: Order of the Stone, let's get some treasure!

Everyone: Treasure!

Jesse: Order of the Stone? Let's get dangerous!

Everyone: Danger!

Axel: I thought maybe you'd have, like, a cool motivational thing to say there. But... that's cool, that's cool.

The group run inside the temple.

Temple[]

Jesse takes a look around, but there is no treasure in sight. All that can be seen are levers and flowing channels of lava in the wall.

(Said "For the glory, Order of the Stone!")
(Said "Let's get some treasure!")
(Said "Danger, here we come!")
(Said Nothing)

Petra: I know we all yelled "glory" out there, but I'm not going to lie to you. I was hoping for treasure.

Petra: So much for treasure. This cupboard is bare...

Axel: After we all yelled "danger," I got a little nervous. But this place is empty. There isn't even any treasure!

Petra: It's a cool room and all. But I was hoping for treasure, personally.

Jesse: Come on, you know how these places work. The treasure's never just out in the open. Let's fan out and search the place.

(First Conversation)
(Returning Conversation)

Jesse: Hi, Petra.

(Saved Petra)
(Saved Gabriel)

Petra: This place is cool. Knew you'd find it.

Petra: Who's "Petra?" (Chuckles) Kidding.

Petra: Hey.

How did Ivor know about this place?
What do you think of this temple?
How are you feeling lately?
I'll talk to you later, Petra.

Jesse: So how do you think Ivor knew about this place?

Petra: Who knows? That guy's read, like, a million books and travelled all over the world. You probably start to learn a thing or two about a thing or two.

Jesse: Thoughts on this place?

Petra: I think I'd rather be in a straight fight than doing all this switch-pulling stuff, but I'm glad Ivor's intel about this place was good.

Jesse: So how are you feeling, lately?

(Saved Petra)
(Saved Gabriel)

Petra: Wither-Sickness free. I think.

Petra: Memory's all back, as far as I can tell.

Petra: Now, I'm just trying to get used to having "teammates" and "people who worry about me." That's pretty new for me. It's... nice, though.

Jesse: Okay, I'm going to keep trying to solve this.

(First Conversation)
(Returning Conversation)

Jesse: Hey, Olivia.

Olivia: Yeah?

Olivia: What's up?

How's treasure hunting treating you?
Hoping for any special loot?
Any ideas about the levers?
I'll talk to you later, Olivia.

Jesse: So have you been having a good time hunting for treasure?

Olivia: If you had asked me a couple of months ago, I would never have thought I would like all this "adventuring" and "treasure hunting" stuff... but this has actually been a really good time. And I've been getting lots of great stuff to build with.

Jesse: So what kind of treasure do you hope we find in here?

Olivia: Well, I've been working on a build that could use another couple dispensers. But some cocoa beans would be cool, too.

Jesse: Any ideas for how to fix this?

Olivia: Well, these channels of lava are blocked in strategic locations by those sticky pistons. Unblock them, and I'm guessing something cool will happen.

Jesse: Okay, I'm gonna figure this out.

Olivia: Never doubted you for a minute.

(First Conversation)
(Returning Conversation)

Jesse: Axel?

Axel: Whatcha need, buddy?

Axel: Yo.

What do you think we'll find here?
We have the best adventures.
Thoughts on the situation?
I’ll talk to you later, Axel.

Jesse: So, what kind of loot you think we're going to find in here?

Axel: Oh, man. Well... I want to make a room with an emerald floor, right?

Jesse: Who doesn't?

Axel: I'm, like, 4 emeralds away. So getting some emeralds would be pretty sweet.

Jesse: Man. We have the best adventures, don't we?

Axel: Yeah, it's pretty sweet. I was worried I wouldn't be cool enough, or smart enough, or whatever enough to be in the Order of the Stone. Thanks for always believing in me, buddy.

Jesse: Pssh, you know it.

Jesse: Axel, what do you think of the situation?

Axel: Um, I dunno about the "situation." I kinda do more "blowing stuff up." So... if you need someone to do stuff like that, I'm TOTALLY your guy.

Jesse: Okay, I’m going to keep working on this.

Axel: Sounds good, dude.

Jesse: Ah. My old friend, the lever.

Jesse: Huh. These channels lead to the center of the room.

Olivia: They look like they're designed to let lava flow from those channels in the wall.

Axel: Why would you want to do that?

Jesse: These channels of lava are blocked by sticky pistons. If I were to unblock them... hmmm.

Jesse pulls the lever on the wall with 2 sand blocks carved into it, opening a lava channel.

Axel: Hey! It's worki--

The lava channel closes again.

Axel: Oh, wait. No, it's not. Nevermind.

Jesse pulls the lever on the wall with 2 sand blocks carved into it, opening a lava channel. The lava channel closes right after.

Olivia: Blocked again.

Jesse pulls the lever at the wall with 1 sand block carved into it, opening the lava channel. Jesse then pulls another lever at another wall with 2 sand blocks carved into it, opening a lava channel. Jesse returns and pulls the lever at the first wall, which also has 3 blocks carved into the other side. A lava channel is opened.

Jesse: Ah, now we’re getting somewhere.

(Optional Interaction) Pull Lever Again
...

Jesse pulls the lever, closing all lava channels.

Jesse: Well, that does me no good.

With the other two channels open, Jesse pulls the final lever. A large hole is opened in the ground.

Axel: I think I actually would've been disappointed if the floor DIDN'T open up into a dark, creepy passageway.

The group make their way into the passageway, down the spiraling staircase.

Petra: This kinda reminds me of when we first found the Order’s Temple. We were such a scared bunch of noobs, back then.

Axel: Hey, I wasn't scared.

Petra: No? Then who was it that was yelling, "Help me! Help me! The dispensers are trying to kill me!"

I had no idea what to expect.
That feels so long ago.
We were so unprepared.
...

Jesse: Ha! Yeah, I had no idea what we were getting into. Hilarious.

Jesse: Wow. Yeah. That feels like it was, I dunno, a million years ago. We’ve packed a lot in, since then.

Jesse: Ha ha, yeah. We were all totally unprepared. Crazy we didn’t die.

Axel: I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Petra: Uh huh.

Olivia: And to think that was just the beginning...

Axel: Yeah. That was before we'd fought Witherstorms, hung out with Endermen, reunited the Order... so crazy.

The group reach the bottom of the staircase. Jesse looks around the dark room and sees four chests.

Jesse: Bingo.

The group approach the chests.

Jesse: All right, let’s see what we’ve got.

Jesse opens a chest and takes out a cake.

Jesse: Hey, it's a cake!

(Entered the Witch's Hut)
(Didn't Enter the Witch's Hut)

Axel: Man. This reminds me of that time when you got a cake from that witch’s hut and I was super jealous of you.

Axel: Aw, man. You got cake?

Axel: It's just... I really love cake. My mouth is practically watering, just looking at it.

It's yours if you want it.
Cake is the best!
Finders keepers!
...

Jesse: Hey. If you want it, it’s all you! (Gives cake)

Axel: Oh, man. Oh, MAN. Oh, man. Thank you!

Jesse: Right? Cake is the best! Totally my favorite. Or, uh, top three at least.

Axel: You've got discerning tastes, Jesse. I respect that.

Jesse: Sorry, Axel. I found this cake and I'm gonna keep it.

Axel: Aw, man...

Axel: Saving it for later? That’s cool, that’s cool. I get that.

Jesse continues searching through the chest and finds a pumpkin.

Jesse: Huh. A pumpkin. Not bad. I suppose that could be useful if we run into Endermen. (Searches) And looks like we've got one more thing in here. It's...

Jesse takes out a glowing pair of enchanted flint and steel.

Olivia: What'd you find?

Axel: What are you guys talking abou- whoa! That's super cool.

Petra: I've never seen flint and steel like that before...

Is that an enchantment?
I don't know what it is.
Whatever it is, it's mine!
...

Jesse: That glow... is it some sort of enchantment?

Olivia: I don't know... I've seen people put an Unbreaking enchantment on a flint and steel before... but that's not Unbreaking.

Petra: You could give it a shot and find out.

Jesse: I'll be honest with you, Olivia. I have no idea what this is. Or what it does.

Axel: Uh, I do? Burning stuff, right? Whoa-ho-ho! That’s so cool! You gotta try it out!

Jesse: It's enchanted, it's rare, and now... it belongs to Jesse. Ha!

Petra: I've never seen flint and steel like that before.

Olivia: Whoa. It's some sort of flint and steel, but... enchanted?

Axel: Whoa-ho-ho! That's so cool! You gotta try it out!

Jesse: Okay, flint and steel. Do your thing.

Jesse ignites the flint and steel, sending a large pulse in the air.

Jesse: Whoa! Well, I have definitely never seen flint and steel do that before.

Petra looks behind and sees multiple zombies approaching the group.

Petra: Uh oh.

They find themselves surrounded.

Jesse: Looks like some monsters have a death wish.

Axel: So, what's the plan? If you ask me, it seems like a good time for a "secret handshake!

Olivia: Yeah, so let's use the Redstone Rap! Obviously.

Petra: Uh, I think you mean the Warrior Whip. Obviously.

Axel: Oh, come on! It was my idea. Let's do the Griefer Grab!

Warrior Whip
Griefer Grab
Redstone Rap
Builder Bump

Jesse: Warrior Whip, go!

Petra: C'mon, Jesse. Make it good. Just like we practised.

Jesse grabs Petra by the arms and spins her around.

Petra: Whooooaaaaaaa!

Jesse lets go as Petra slashes through a wave of zombies with her sword.

Olivia: You guys, that was amazing!

Axel: Okay, okay. It wasn't bad.

Jesse: Okay! Griefer Grab, go!

Axel: Seriously? Oh, man, this is gonna be awesome!

Jesse holds a block of TNT and Axel launches them into the air. Jesse drops the block of TNT, mid-air, taking out the zombies.

Olivia: You guys, that was amazing!

Petra: Yeah, pretty spectacular.

Jesse: Olivia, prep the Redstone Rap!

Olivia: Neeeearly there! Okay, activate it! Now!

Jesse pulls a lever at the back of the dispenser contraption, shooting multiple arrows at the zombies and taking them out.

Olivia: Good job, Jesse. Worked perfectly!

Axel: Whoa, you've SO gotta teach me how to make one of those.

Petra: Yeah, pretty spectacular.

Jesse: Builder Bump, on my command!

Axel: Right on!

Petra: We’ve gotcha covered.

Jesse starts building a platform out of cobblestone.

Axel: Come on, Jesse!

Petra: Hurry!

Olivia: That’s it! Keep going!

Jesse finishes the platform and the group run across it.

Axel: Woo, close one.

Petra: Great job, Jesse.

The group make their way back up the stairs to the exit of the temple. They're blocked off as a door is opened and zombies start walking out. The stairs below them start to collapse into the wall.

Olivia: Ugh, all these mobs. Where does it end?!

Jesse takes out the zombies from below, and the group continue to make their way upwards. Jesse steps back as an arrow lands in front of them. They look up towards two skeletons aiming towards the group. Suddenly, a stream of lava sends the skeletons falling back down.

Axel: Ha! The lava took them out!

Olivia: Aaaand there go the stairs...

Jesse: We need to get out of here, NOW!

Petra: Look out!

Jesse dodges a stream of lava. The group find themselves surrounded by lava as the stairs begin to disappear.

Axel: We’re trapped! Now what?

Jesse: Quick! Jump!

The group jump and hang onto the vines on the wall.

Jesse: Okay, let's get out of here.

The group climb up the vines. Cave spiders emerge from the walls.

Petra: Cave Spiders. Why’d it have to be Cave Spiders?

Jesse: The only way outta here is through them, so get ready!

Jesse takes out the spiders with their sword. The hole in the floor of the puzzle room begins to close.

Jesse: The tunnel! It's closing!

Jesse throws their sword up and it gets stuck in between the doors of the tunnel, stopping it from closing.

Axel: I can’t believe I just saw that! That was amazing! Why is no one freaking out?

Petra: Freak out on the inside, Axel. We gotta move!

The group climb up out of the tunnel.

Jesse: Man. This is becoming, like, my lucky swor- oh, no!

Jesse dislodges the sword from the hole, as the cave spiders continue to climb up the wall.

Axel: Come on, dude. Let's get you out of here!

Axel helps Jesse up and the group leave the temple.

Jungle[]

Axel: I tell you guys, doing that never gets old. Woo!

Petra: Yeah, not too bad. Killing a bunch of monsters, getting sweet treasure...

Axel: Like that flint and steel thing! You gotta try it again!

Olivia: I'd be curious to see it again, too!

What should I burn first?
Give it a try, Axel.
Way ahead of you.
...

Jesse: Okay... what should I burn first?

Axel: The grass! No. That stump!

Jesse ignites a tree stump with the flint and steel.

Jesse: I'm good. You can give it a shot, though.

Axel: Oooooh.

Axel takes the flint and steel and ignites a tree stump with it.

Jesse: Way ahead of you on that one, Axel.

Jesse ignites a tree stump with the flint and steel.

Petra: Seemed pretty simple. Flint? Steel? Fwoosh...

Jesse ignites a tree stump with the flint and steel.

Jesse: Whoa!

Axel: Whoa-ho-ho!

Aiden: Well, well. Where'd you get the new toy? Looks a little... sophisticated for you, Jesse.

Maya: Order of the Losers.

Gill: Yeah. Losers.

Olivia: Ugh. Who let you guys out of your cave?

Maya: Joke’s on you. We don’t live in a cave.

Aiden: Shut up, you idiots.

It's Aiden and the Pussycats.
Here to cause trouble?
Who are you, again?
...

Jesse: Well, well, well. If it isn't Aiden and the Pussycats.

Gill: That's not our name.

Jesse: Ugh, what grief are you here to give us now?

Aiden: Look. Who's. Talking.

Jesse: Sorry, but... who are you again?

Aiden: Oh. I get it. The “Order Of The Stone” is so fancy that they don’t even recognize us anymore.

Maya: Even though we used to wipe the floors with you guys every building competition.

Aiden: Got nothin' to say for yourself? (Chuckles) That's a first.

Olivia: So what are you "Ocelots" doing here, anyway?

Aiden: The Ocelots were Lukas' gang. We ditched that name, just like we ditched him.

Maya: Yeah, we rebranded! We're the Blaze Rods now.

Gill: Blaze Rods!

Aiden: Shut up, Gill.

Gill: Sorry, boss.

Aiden: Don't do it again.

I liked Ocelots better.
Cool name.
Dumb name.
...

Jese: Oh, that's too bad. I thought "Ocelots" was way cooler.

Gill: That's what I said!

Aiden: Shut up, Gill.

Jesse: Huh. Pretty cool name.

Aiden: Of course it is. And I don't give a crap about what you think.

Jesse: Wow, you guys are terrible at naming. That's a dumb name.

Aiden: Says the "heroes" that just called their group the "NEW Order of the Stone."

Maya: Stunned into silence, huh? Thought so.

Aiden: Maya, play it cool.

Aiden: Where's Lukas, huh? The minute the Order decided you were cool...

Maya: For whatever reason...

Aiden: He wouldn't stop sniffing around you, like a tamed dog.

Petra: You take that back.

Aiden: Mmm... no.

Petra: Hey, Lukas is ten times the man you are.

Maya: Or he's a whiny dingus?

Lukas is a hero, unlike you.
He wanted to save you!
Petra, ignore them.
...

Jesse: Yeah. Lukas is a hero... which is more than I can say for any of you creeps.

(Lukas Stayed)
(Lukas Left)

Jesse: Geez, what is up with you creeps? I can't believe Lukas wanted to risk his neck to go save you guys.

Jesse: Lukas left us to risk his neck and save you guys and this is how you talk about him?

Jesse: Petra, just ignore it. They don't know what they're talking about.

Petra: Lukas is our friend, Jesse. No one talks about our friends like that!

Jesse says nothing.

Aiden stares at the enchanted flint and steel.

Aiden: You probably think that thing makes you so special. Classic Jesse. You take all the best stuff and never give anyone else a chance. That should’ve been ours!

Axel: Oh, yeah?

Maya: Yeah.

Gill: Blaze Rods!

You don't have what it takes.
We earned this!
You're being so unfair.
...

Jesse: There's no shame in being second-rate, Aiden. Not everyone can do what the Order of the Stone can.

Aiden: That’s just what I’d expect from someone as small-minded as you, Jesse.

Jesse: Hey. We earned this, all right? Fair and square.

Axel: Yeah. We fought monsters, lava and levers to get this thing. And we ain't givin' it up.

Aiden: Ha. Nothing you've ever done has been "fair and square," Jesse.

Jesse: Oh, come on. That's not fair, Aiden. We’re adventuring, just like anyone else!

Aiden: That’s just what I’d expect from someone as small-minded as you, Jesse.

Olivia: We don't have to fight.

Aiden: No?

Petra: Oh, we can totally fight.

The Blaze Rods pull their swords out at the group.

Aiden: Hand over the flint and steel, Jesse. Don’t make me ask again. You don’t get that one. It’s supposed to be mine. Haven't you taken enough?

[Draw Sword]
You better back off!
Find your own stuff!
...

Jesse: You better back off, Aiden. Getting this was no cakewalk. Taking you down wouldn't be any trouble at all.

Aiden: Big talk. Gonna back that up?

Axel: I’m tired of listening to your jaw flap.

Axel charges into Aiden, but is kicked to the ground.

Aiden: You don't touch me!

Jesse: Just go find your own stuff, Aiden.

Aiden: It's not enough you got to save the world. You had to go and take all the world's best stuff, too. So if I want my own stuff, that means I need to take it. From you.

Axel: I’m tired of listening to your jaw flap.

Axel charges into Aiden, but is kicked to the ground.

Aiden: You don't touch me!

Aiden: Nothin’ to say? Is the Order of the Stone actually shocked into silence? For once?

Axel: I’m tired of listening to your jaw flap.

Axel charges into Aiden, but is kicked to the ground.

Aiden: You don't touch me!

Jesse draws their sword and the group aim their weapons at the Blaze rods.

Aiden: Some "hero" you are, Jesse.

I'm going to take you down.
You're not worth it.
Don't mess with me.
..

Jesse: I'm going to take you down, Aiden. I promise.

Jesse: Let's just go home, you guys. These "Blaze Rods" aren't worth it.

Jesse: Don't start something you can't finish, Aiden. I've taken on way bigger threats than you.

Jesse says nothing.

Aiden: Fine.

The Blaze Rods put down their weapons.

Aiden: What hope do we have when "heroes" like you are throwing your weight around like this? It's not always going to be this way, though. (To Blaze Rods) Come on, you guys. Let's get out of here.

Gill: Blaze Rods!

Aiden: (Shoves) I told you to SHUT UP!

The Blaze Rods leave the jungle.

Aiden: Look out, Jesse...

Olivia: I don’t remember him being that angry before.

They scared pretty easy.
He's really losing it.
I'm getting a bad feeling.
...

Jesse: Wow. They scared easy, didn't they?

Petra: Not easy enough for my taste. We should be careful. He seems different. Scarier.

Jesse: Wow. Us being the New Order of the Stone is really getting to that guy. He's gone crazy.

Petra: We should be careful. He seems different. Scarier.

Jesse: Okay, I'm officially starting to get a bad feeling about Aiden. Threatening people, scary enchantments on his sword... I hope he doesn't hurt anyone.

Petra: Yeah. We need to keep an eye out.

Olivia: That was... disturbing.

Petra: We should be careful. He seems different. Scarier.

Axel: Man. And all because he wanted that flint and steel. What are you gonna do with it?

Petra: Ivor's the one that told us about this temple. He might know something about it.

Figure out how it works.
I'll ask Ivor about it.
We're taking it home.
...

Jesse: Whatever it is, it's powerful. And I'm gonna figure out what it does.

Jesse: Hopefully, Ivor can tell us more about it.

Jesse: We're bringing it home. It'll be safe there.

Jesse says nothing.

The group leave the jungle.

Town[]

The group walk towards the entrance of the town.

Axel: Finally starting to recognize stuff again. Feels good to almost be home.

Petra: Cheers to that, friend.

Olivia: I just can't shake what Aiden was saying about us back there. We do get a lot of treasure. And I guess sometimes we might throw our weight around...

Axel: What? No! Aiden’s got a bad case of treasure-envy, pure and simple.

Olivia: I dunno.

It's not our fault we're awesome.
He's just jealous.
Olivia has a point.
...

Jesse: Yeah. Not our fault we’re so awesome.

Olivia: I guess so.

Jesse: C’mon, Aiden’s just jealous. Isn’t that obvious? He sees us with our fancy armor, cool treasure, and he wishes he had it too.

Olivia: I guess so.

Jesse: Well, I guess we do always try and get all the best treasure...

Axel: Yeah, but that just means we have great taste. Not that we’re, like, bullies or something.

Olivia: Just something to think about.

The group enter the town through the opening gates.

Petra: Well, no matter what Aiden thinks, there’s one thing I know...

Jesse: What's that?

Petra: (Points) THEY think we're awesome.

Fanboy: They’re back! You guys, they’re back!

Fangirl: Run! Tell everyone that our heroes have returned!!!

The citizens leave their homes and crowd the group, cheering.

Axel: Yep, New Order of the Stone is BACK IN TOWN!

Fangirl: Ahhhh, there they are!

Fanboy: Ooh, ooh! I like Olivia’s armor the best! Uh, wait, no, no, no, Axel’s!

Fangirl: JESSE, YOU'RE THE COOLEST!

This place looks amazing!
It's time to party!
We have returned!
...

Jesse: Look at what you've done with this place! It looks freaking AWESOME!

Fangirl: (Scream) Love you guys!!!

Jesse: Thank you, thank you! It's good to be back! And, now that we're back, I'm preeetty sure that means it's time... to PARTY!

Fanboy: Jesse, you're my favourite Order member!

Jesse: And it's good to be back! We've been on this wild, epic adventure full of monsters, hidden temples, treasure...

Fangirl: I can't take anymore! (Scream) You guys are awesome!

Petra: I tell ya, it never feels old having people excited to see you.

Fangirl: (Scream) Love you guys!!!

The crowd cheers. A fangirl approaches Jesse, with her hand in the air.

Fangirl: Welcome back!!!

High-Five
Do Nothing

Fangirl: See that?! Jesse high-fived me! ME!!! It actually hurt a little bit... wow. (Faints)

Fangirl: Well, uh, maybe next time! Hehehe!

Suddenly, a scream of terror is heard nearby.

Olivia: That wasn't a "happy to see us" scream...

The group stare at a large construct, with lava pouring from it's mouth.

Petra: Wow. That's new. It somehow manages to evoke skulls AND tentacles...

Olivia: While still doing the whole "barfing lava" thing. Eesh.

Axel: I dunno. I think it's kinda cool looking.

Woah, that is epic!
That thing is hideous.
That looks dangerous.
...

Jesse: Wow, that is one epic build! With the lava?

Axel: Yeah! Yeah! And the skull motif? Awesome.

Olivia: I will never understand your taste.

Jesse: Talk about eyesores. That thing's hideous!

Olivia: Yeah. If beauty's in the eyes of the beholder, that's one beholder with serious eye problems.

Jesse: Augh, that thing looks completely dangerous!

Axel: Eh?

Axel: Plus, it'll keep people warm at night.

Olivia: Yes, setting people on fire tends to do that...

Ivor: NOT MY FAULT!

Citizen 1: Look out!

Citizen 2: Help!

The group approach the construct and see Ivor standing above it.

Ivor: Oh, stop your whining! What are your pathetic injuries in comparison to my majestic tower?

Jesse: Ivor?

Petra: (Sigh) Of course.

Ivor: Oh, Jesse, you're back! Don't listen to a word these fools tell you.

Citizen: It's a fire hazard!

Ivor: And your face is an UGLY hazard, so I suppose we're even.

Did you build this... thing?
Causing trouble, Ivor?
Cool build, Ivor!
...

Jesse: So, what's this weird structure?

Ivor: It's my new house. And also, um... my gift to the community. If anyone's short on lava, this is the place to get more! Ha ha! You're welcome!

The crowd boos.

Jesse: Causing trouble again?

Ivor: Nothing! Just a little spirited debate with the local community. Brain function is proving difficult for them.

Citizen 1: You need to remove this, now!

Jesse: Man, Ivor... this is really cool!

Ivor: Why thank you, Jesse! So good to finally see someone with some vision.

Petra: Jesse, seriously? You can’t let him keep this up.

Ivor: Honestly, they can be so immature sometimes.

Ivor: Jesse, all I wanted was what any man wants. A little house of my own... with loads of lava pouring off it.

Petra: Ivor, I know you mean well... but your "house" wants to kill people.

Axel: Dude, you made a killer house!

Citizen 1: Exactly! "KILLER."

Ivor: Shut. Up.

You can't always build what you want.
Can we move it somewhere?
He should be free to build.
...

Jesse: Ivor, I like building as much as the next person but there have to be rules.

Jesse: What about just moving it someplace else. I'm sure-

Ivor: Move it? WAY more lava is going to spill out if we do that!

Jesse: Sorry, but Ivor's right. People've gotta be free to build.

Olivia: But that's so irresponsible!

Axel goes in to touch the lava, but Olivia nudges him.

Citizen 1: Well? We have to tear it down! We can't let that monstrosity stand!

Ivor jumps down from the house and runs to Jesse.

Ivor: It's my house, Jesse. I have just as much a right to build something as all these people, don't I? They're just jealous that I've got VISION, while they've got... they've got... "Community Planning." Blech.

Tear it down.
Leave it alone.

Jesse: I'm sorry, Ivor, but your house is way too much of a hazard to the community. Tear it down, everyone.

The crowd cheers.

Petra: Good call.

Ivor: BAH! It's a slippery slope, Jesse. Today, the lava house. Tomorrow... who knows what kind of rules you'll be imposing!

Petra: Don't be a sore loser, Ivor.

Ivor: Feh. Haven't seen you around in a while. So, what can I do for you?

Jesse: Ivor obviously put a lot of work into his new house and we need to show it the same respect that we would show a house not... dripping with lava. Leave it. I'm sure we can find a way to work around it, okay?

The crowd boos.

Ivor: Long live my lava house! Long live lava! Thanks, Jesse! (To crowd) That's right. Keep walking. Keeeeeep walking!

Petra: Always nice to see a gracious winner.

Ivor: Ha ha. So what can I do for you, Jesse? Haven't seen you around in a while.

We found something you should see.
We checked out that temple!
I'm sorry about your house...
I was hoping you could help me.
...

Jesse: Ivor, we found something at that temple you told us about.

Jesse: We just got back from that temple you told us about... the one in the jungle?

(If Jesse said to tear the house down)

Jesse: Hey, um, sorry about your house.

Ivor: Oh, now you’re sorry? I’m sorry that I live in a time where people don’t appreciate true genius!

Petra: Ugh. Would you get over yourself, already, so Jesse can show you what we found in the jungle?

(If Jesse said to leave the house alone)

Jesse: Actually, I was hoping you could help me with something. We found something, out in the jungle.

Olivia: What Jesse wanted to tell you is that we found something at the jungle fortress you told us about.

Ivor: What? You did?! Ha, ha, ha! Yes, great to see you again! Let's do lunch. I'll bring the carrots! (Whispers) There's no telling who's listening! Meet me in the Treasure Room. 10 minutes. And bring the thing you found!

Ivor strides away. Petra pats Jesse's shoulder.

(Said "Tear it down.")
(Said "Leave it alone.")

Olivia: Well, if we're going to tear this down, we better start getting some buckets together to scoop up all the lava. You got any iron?

Axel: Oh, man. No, I'm all out.

Olivia: Okay, we better go mine some more. (To Jesse) We'll catch up with you later.

Axel: Yeah, once we give this majestic house the funeral it deserves.

Olivia: Well, if we're going to keep that thing up, we should at least encase the lava in some glass to make it safer.

Axel: But, like, not too safe!

Olivia: Come on. Help me collect some sand and you can make sure that when we make it into glass, its the "right amount" of safe.

Axel: Okay!

Olivia: (To Jesse) We'll catch up with you later.

Axel: Yeah, once we make sure this art gets the respect it deserves.

Nice work today, guys.
See you soon!
Stay out of trouble.
...

Jesse: Nice work today, guys.

Axel: Yeah. Not bad, right?

Olivia: It's like we should do this more often or something.

Jesse: Sounds good. I'll see you guys soon.

Jesse: Stay out of trouble, you two.

Axel: YOU stay out of trouble.

Olivia: Good one.

Axel: Thanks.

Jesse says nothing.

Petra: Later, guys!

Jesse: C'mon, let's go find Ivor.

Treasure Room[]

Jesse and Petra make their way through the treasure room, checking out the objects on the pedestals.

Petra: Wow, this place is really shaping up.

Lukas is waiting at the top of the stairs.

Petra: Whoa! Lukas! I don’t believe it!

(Lukas Stayed/Left on Good Terms in Episode 4)
(Lukas Left on Bad Terms in Episode 4)

Lukas: Oh! Hey, guys! You have some pretty cool stuff in here. Crazy stuff.

Petra: Heh. Yeah, no doubt!

Why are you in here?
Where have you been?
Good to see you, buddy.
...

Jesse: Lukas, what are you doing here?

Lukas: Admiring the treasure! Reminiscing about how, y'know, I helped out on a couple of them.

Jesse: It's been ages. Where were you?

Lukas: Oh, you know, just helping to rebuild and stuff. Witherstorm left a big mess out there.

Petra: Yeah, a lot of homes got wrecked. That's really good of you to help out like that.

Jesse: Hey, Lukas! Great to see you.

Lukas: It's been a while. I really missed you guys.

Petra: We missed you, too.

Lukas: Sorry. Did I startle you?

Petra: Course you did! Hey, it's great to see you again.

Lukas: You have so many other treasures. Boy, you've sure been busy.

Lukas: Hey... you guys are back! How, uh... how's it going?

Petra: Lukas, really... it's great to see you again.

Why are you here?
Where have you been?
Lukas, you came back!
...

Jesse: Why are you here?

Lukas: Just admiring your treasure room.

Jesse: Where have you been? I haven't seen you in a while.

Lukas: Oh, you know, just helping to rebuild and stuff. Witherstorm left a big mess out there. Well, we were there when it all started. It’s only right we help clean it up.

Jesse: Hey, you... came back!

Lukas: Yeah, thought I'd show my face again.

Petra: Well, it's great to see it! Your face, I mean!

Jesse says nothing.

Lukas: We went through a lot.

Jesse and Lukas stare at each other, in silence.

Lukas: Jesse, listen. I’m not going to beat around the bush here. The last time we saw each other? With the... Ocelots and the Wither Storm and everything? I'm not happy about how things went down and, well, I want to patch things up. I'm tired of us not talking to each other, so... I'm sorry.

No, I'm the sorry one.
It was a stressful time.
We were both wrong.
...

Jesse: Hey, I'm the one who's sorry. We were stressed back there and... well, it's not how I wanted things to end.

Lukas: You're a good friend, Jesse. That means a lot.

Jesse: It was a stressful time, Lukas. I get it.

Petra: It's so cool you came back.

Jesse: We both made mistakes, Lukas. It wasn’t just you.

Lukas: Yeah. It's a relief to hear you say that.

Petra: It's so cool you came back.

Jesse says nothing.

Petra: It's so cool you came back.

Lukas: It, uh... it feels good to be back.

Lukas: Oh, wow. You framed it. Uh... him.

Jesse: Yeah...

Lukas: How are you doing?

I haven't thought about him.
I really miss him.
I still feel guilty.
...

Jesse: I haven't thought about him since... it happened. It's easier that way.

Lukas: Gotcha. Well... it that's working, then that's good.

Jesse: I really, really miss him. Every morning I wake up and, just for a minute, I can pretend that he's just in another room or rooting around outside looking for carrots. And then every morning I get to remember, all over, that he's gone.

Lukas: I'm so sorry.

Jesse: I still feel guilty about it. Every time I see another pit, all I can think about is how Reuben died because I put him in danger.

Petra: He didn't die in some accident, Jesse. He sacrificed himself. He was a hero.

Jesse: Yeah. Doesn't make me feel any less guilty, though.

Lukas: Sorry. I know it must be hard.

Lukas: (sighs) Okay, guys. I promise I wasn't just here to bum everybody out. I actually came back because I needed to tell you something. It's about this weird run-in I had... with Aiden.

Petra: Ugh! Hate that guy.

Lukas: Whatever you said or did... it really got to him.

I just saw him, too.
What did he say?
He's such a jerk.
...

Jesse: Uh huh. We saw him, too. (Sarcastically) The Order of the Stone and the Blaze Rods are just as friendly as ever.

Petra: That’s an understatement.

Jesse: Great. And what did he have to say?

Lukas: Apparently, someone told him about Ivor giving you a tip? Some kind of treasure? He really wanted to find it first.

Petra: Ha. Beat him.

Jesse: Man, he's such a jerk. I mean, he never stops.

Lukas: Hey, Jesse, are you listening? This is important.

Lukas: He’s been so jealous of you and the rest of the Order, ever since you saved the world from the Witherstorm. Convinced that HE was supposed to be a hero. Ever since he took over the Ocel- “The Blaze Rods,” it seems like he’s just gotten... meaner. He’s pushing Maya and Gill around.

Aiden doesn't scare me.
Why's he jealous?
He freaked me out.
...

Jesse: Aiden's a stupid bully. He doesn't scare me.

Lukas: Yeah. That's what I used to say too... but he's been freaking me out, lately. He got super aggressive, demanded to know what treasure you were after next.

Jesse: Jealous? Why?

Lukas: He thinks you're a big bully, Jesse. Looting and keeping all the good stuff for yourself.

Jesse: Yeah. When we saw him, he kind of freaked me out. Making crazy threats, knocking his own gang around...

Lukas: I'm warning you, Jesse. Don't ignore him.

Lukas: So what'd you find that got Aiden so excited, anyway?

Jesse pulls out the enchanted flint and steel.

Jesse: Check it out.

Lukas: Wow. What a weird glow...

Jesse: Yeah, I know. I'm supposed to show it to-

Ivor: You found it!

Lukas: Woah!

Jesse: Dude! What's wrong with you?!

Ivor: This... it is the greatest find of our time! I can't believe you actually... that you're actually holding this!

How'd you know where it was?
Do you know what it does?
Is it really so special?
...

Jesse: So, how’d you know where it was?

Ivor: Endless research into the cracks in reality... the artefacts that shape and bend the "rules" as we know them.

Petra: Uh... what?

Jesse: Okay, spill. What's it do?

Ivor: It proves what I've always suspected!

Jesse: I mean, it's got some sort of enchantment on it. But it's just a flint and steel, right?

Ivor: Jesse, that's not just "some sort of enchantment."

Ivor: Oh, this is a most excellent day!

Ivor: That glow... that enchantment is the work of a very old group of builders, a group so old that they existed even before the Order of the Stone!

Petra: Whoa.

Lukas: Yeah. Dramatic.

Ivor: Right?

But what's the flint and steel do?
Did they build the temple?
Wow, before the Order?
...

Jesse: So what’s the flint and steel do, then?

Ivor: Not 100% sure, actually. But I suspect that it’s related to the exciting part!

Jesse: Wow. So that temple we went to, was that built by these... old builders?

Ivor: That’s my suspicion! But it’s what’s inside the temple that interests me even more!

Jesse: Wow. I didn’t know that there was a time before the Order of the Stone!

Ivor: It’s incredible, isn’t it? I haven’t even gotten to the best part!

Ivor: Yes, sorry! Got caught up in my own dramatic pause!

Ivor: You see, if these builders truly existed and if you found their temple... that means we’re one step closer to finding “The Eversource!" What a beautiful sight.

Petra: Looks like you came back just in time, Lukas.

Lukas: More "powerful artefacts," huh?

Is that a made-up name?
The... what?
Sounds valuable.
...

Jesse: Did you just make that up?

Ivor: No! I found books, mysterious tomes, referencing it on my travels...

Petra: “Mysterious tomes,” huh?

Jesse: The Ever... what now?

Ivor: The Eversource!

Lukas: Are you, uh, gonna actually explain it any more than that?

Jesse: Wow, so is this "Eversource" thing valuable?

Ivor: “Valuable” doesn’t even tell the half of it, Jesse.

Petra: Okay, I'm interested.

Ivor: You're stunned, right? I haven't even told you what it DOES, yet.

Ivor: The Eversource is said to be an object of incredible power, possessed by the old builders. It was some sort of treasure, or artefact, that gave them an endless supply of precious materials! Think about it, Jesse! That temple must have been its hiding place!

Petra: Wow. "Old Builders?" You learn something new every day.

Lukas: I'm still just trying to wrap my head around the "Eversource."

How are you sure it’s there?
But we only just got back!
Well, what are we waiting for?
...

Jesse: Okay, so this flint and steel might have this "Old Builder" enchantment... but how do you know that's where this "Eversource" thing is?

Ivor: I’ve travelled near and far, Jesse. And that temple, that flint and steel, is the only firm proof that I’ve ever seen of the old builders.

Petra: That does seem like a pretty good bet.

Jesse: Wait. Like, the temple we just got back from? We have to go back there?

Ivor: Yes! Luckily, you already know the way!

Petra: He does have a point.

Jesse: Well, what are we waiting for then? We've already been to that temple once. Finding it again will be a snap!

Ivor: Incredible, isn’t it? I can’t wait to see this temple for myself!

Petra: Old Builders, “Eversources,” ancient mysteries... you know I’m in.

Ivor: Excellent! I'll pack my adventuring things, immediately!

Petra: Wait... HE'S coming?

Lukas: Wow. Sounds like you guys have a lot to get to. I guess I'll take off-

Petra: Nope, you're coming with. I need a buffer between me and Ivor...

Jesse: Let's get moving.

The group leave the Treasure Room.

Jungle[]

Ivor: This is so exciting! Ha ha ha! Adventure!

Petra: Lukas, I know it's daytime. But watch our backs, okay? (Whispers) I can’t believe we’re bringing Ivor with us. I mean, it's nice that he's so excited? But, ugh. Not my top choice for “adventuring companion.”

Why are you so hard on him?
He makes me laugh!
Ivor is knowledgeable.
...

Jesse: Hey, he's not so bad. Why are you being so hard on him?

Petra: Uhh, maybe you forgot the whole "Witherstorm" thing? He kinda has a history of being a world-scale pain in the butt.

Jesse: Aw, come on. He’s super funny and he makes me laugh.

Petra: I guess.

Jesse: Hey. You can't argue that when it comes to all this ancient history and treasure... Ivor knows a lot.

Petra: Sure, that's true.

Jesse says nothing.

Ivor: These trees are enormous! I love it so much!

Petra: He just.. really gets on my nerves, sometimes.

Ivor runs up to the entrance of the temple.

Ivor: Remarkable. Look at this architecture... so old! So exquisite! Oh, this is just how I dreamed it would be! Except for less cake... my dreams usually involve cake.

Try to stay focused, Ivor.
Nice to see you smiling.
This is the right place?
...

Jesse: Hey. Let's not get all enamored with the architecture, now. We've got a treasure to find.

Jesse: Ivor, it's nice to see you smiling.

Ivor: (Looks away) I’m not smiling.

Jesse: So you think it’s the right place, then?

Ivor: Oh, yes, Jesse. Oh, yes, I very much do.

Ivor: Not important! Look at how amazing this is!

Petra: Well, let’s get inside. I don’t like being out in the open like this.

The group enter the temple.

Temple[]

Jesse: Wow. It looks so different during the day.

Ivor: Okay, but careful what you touch. There could be traps everywhere. Petra! Blond guy! Are you two as excited as I am?

Petra: I’m not sure that’s possible.

Ivor: What?

Lukas: She means that you just seem to be super excited, Ivor.

(Optional Interactions)
...

Talk to Petra
Talk to Lukas
Talk to Ivor
Look at Closed Stairway
Look at Lava Channel

Jesse: I can't believe we missed some sort of secret area here, last night.

Petra: Eh. We were kinda fighting, oh, a ton of monsters. It’s not surprising that we didn’t hit every single nook and cranny.

Jesse: Pretty cool temple, right?

Lukas: Yeah, it's amazing. Not gonna lie to you, Jesse, I'm pretty excited to be along for the ride on this one.

Jesse: You look excited, Ivor.

Ivor: Excited? I'm ecstatic. Thrilled! Overjoyed! The Eversource could finally be within my grasp! Once, uh... once we find it, that is.

Jesse: Barely got out of there, last night. Doesn't look like it's opening up again any time soon.

Petra: That’s all right. I had enough of the spiders and lava and everything that had to offer already.

Jesse: Huh. Doesn't look like those lava channels work anymore.

Look at Ceiling Hole
Do Nothing

Jesse: Well, that wasn't there last night.

Ivor: Wait. Look! There's some sort of room up there.

Jesse: That looks promising. I'm heading up.

Ivor: Fantastic! We'll follow right behind you!

Petra: Uh, yeah. What he said.

Jesse climbs up the vines to a higher room of the temple.

Jesse: So, you think this "Eversource" thing is up here?

Ivor: Hard to say, Jesse! As the story goes, the Old Builders feared its potential so they hid it away in a place where it would never be found.

(Optional Interaction) Look at Wall Pattern
...

Ivor: What is Jesse doing up there?

Jesse looks at a wooden pressure plate on the floor.

Jesse: Well, that seems promising...

Jesse steps on the pressure plate and a portal frame emerges from the wall.

Ivor: Jesse, what do you see? (Gasp)

Lukas: Some kind of... portal?

Ivor: It's just as I'd imagined. Spectacular.

Where does it go?
Could the treasure be inside?
What kind of portal is THAT?
...

Jesse: But where does it lead?

Ivor: I don't know. This portal... it's not like anything I've ever seen.

Jesse: Ivor, I was just thinking... maybe that treasure-

Ivor: The Eversource.

Jesse: Yeah, that. Maybe those old dudes hid it IN a portal?

Ivor: Ha! Hiding something in a portal... I like it. That makes a lot of sense.

Jesse: That’s a weird looking portal. Have you seen anything like it before?

Ivor: No. The Old Builders experimented with portals, but... this is different from anything I've seen.

Lukas: You think it's safe?

Ivor: Pfft. I didn't come on this adventure for “safe.”

Jesse pulls out the enchanted flint and steel.

Jesse: Here goes nothing...

Jesse ignites the flint and steel, activating the portal. The shockwave sends them back and they drop the flint and steel. It lands in front of two feet on the ground.

Aiden: Ah. Thanks for bringing this back to me, Jesse.

Jesse looks back to see the Blaze Rods climbing into the temple from its walls.

Aiden: I knew you were good for something. You're pretty easy to follow, you know that?

You're going to regret that.
What's your problem?
Give it back, Aiden!
...

Jesse: You’re gonna regret that, Aiden.

Aiden: Oh, yeah?

Jesse: Yeah.

Gill: Oh, yeah?

Aiden: Shut up, Gill.

Jesse: Dude, why are you being such a tool?

Aiden: Your little adventure is over, Jesse. Time to go home.

Jesse: That thing is way bigger and more powerful than you could understand, Aiden. Give it back!

Aiden: Says the person who just got knocked trying to light it.

Petra: Aiden, why do you have to be such a tool?

Aiden: Step aside, Jesse. We’re heading through that portal now.

Petra: Oh, no way!

Lukas: Aiden, you're done. This is where it ends!

Aiden: Fine. Blaze Rods? Clear me a path.

The Blaze Rods draw their swords at the group. Jesse takes down Gill, but is kicked backwards. Aiden runs to the portal.

Aiden: Let's go!

The Blaze Rods follow Aiden.

Ivor: We’ve got to follow them. If they get the Eversource, who knows what trouble they'll cause?

What about Axel and Olivia?
We're taking Aiden DOWN!
That Eversource is mine!
...

Jesse: Should we go back for Axel and Olivia?

Petra: I don't usually like agreeing with Ivor, but he's got a point. Who knows what trouble Aiden could be causing in there?

Jesse: We’re going after Aiden, and we’re going to take him down!

Jesse: Yeah, we're going! Because I'm gonna get that Eversource first!

Ivor: Ha ha, that's what I like to hear!

Lukas: Aiden!

The group run through the portal.

Dirt Island[]

Jesse falls through the portal onto a dirt island in the sky and bumps into Ivor, who falls off the edge.

Ivor: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Jesse: Don't worry! I've got you!

Pull Ivor Up
Do Nothing

Jesse pulls Ivor up.

Jesse: You are surprisingly heavy!

Ivor: I am... the proportionate weight for my height... thank you very much.

Lukas helps pull Ivor up.

Lukas: There ya go. Easy now.

Ivor: Yes. Thank you, thank you. Yes... definitely don’t want to fall down there.

What just happened?
There's nothing below us!
Any sign of the Blaze Rods?
...

Jesse: Okay, what just happened? How did that portal even work?

Ivor: I suppose much the same way a portal to the Nether works, except to an entirely different world!

Jesse: Okay, there is nothing but sky down there! It's all, just... empty... sky.

Ivor: I've traveled all over our world, to nearly every orner, and there has always been land or water beneath me. You could just fall forever... and ever... and ever...

Jesse: Any sign of the Blaze Rods?

Petra: No, nothing!

Jesse: Do you think Aiden knew about all this? The portal? The Eversource?

Ivor: He definitely seems to know now...

Ivor: It would seem, Jesse, that stepping through that portal has brought us to a world almost-but-not-quite like our own. Now, we just need to figure out where the Eversource is!

Jesse takes a look around and walks over to the other side of the dirt island. They see an enormous floating city in the distance.

Jesse: Hey, uh... you guys see that?

Lukas: What? I’m starting to think Ivor was right about this being another world.

Ivor: I'm liking you better by the minute, Louie.

Is it some kind of city?
That's where Aiden must be.
That. On the horizon.
...

Jesse: Wow. It looks like some kind of city. That's incredible.

Ivor: That's it! That’s where it must be! The Eversource.

Jesse: If that island’s a settlement, or whatever, that’s our best bet to find Aiden.

Jesse: That right there! Big floating island? On the horizon?

Petra: Oh, wow. I'm really surprised I didn't notice that sooner.

Ivor: That's it! That’s where it must be! The Eversource.

Petra: A city in the clouds... it almost sounds impossible.

Lukas: I just don’t know how we’re going to reach it!

Petra: Yeah, that’s definitely going to be a problem...

Lukas: I can’t believe this. We fall through a portal into another world, and then can’t even go anywhere!

Maybe we could fly over there.
We need to build over there.
What stuff did you guys bring?
...

Jesse: I don’t suppose anyone packed one of those flying machines?

Petra: Eh, that's more of Olivia's bag.

Lukas: Yeah. I've got nothing.

Jesse: It was worth a shot. Guess we can settle for a bridge.

Jesse: Can’t we just, like, build our way over?

Lukas: Uh, how?

Ivor: Oh, please! You’ve heard of a bridge, haven’t you?

Jesse: Okay, people, you know the drill... What did you guys bring with you?

Ivor: That’s my private business!

Lukas: I didn’t exactly bring a whole lot. Why?

Jesse: Because we’re building a bridge, and it’ll take everything we have...

Ivor: If solutions were powered by complaints, we’d already be there thanks to you! But they’re not. Maybe a bridge instead?

Lukas: I don’t know. Seems like a long way. Do we have enough blocks? It's really, really far.

Ivor: Yes. Very astute, Lukas.

Petra: Ivor the Grump strikes again, I see.

Don't worry, I got this.
The island's bigger than it looks.
We've got plenty to work with.
...

Jesse: Don’t be such a worrywart, Lukas. I’ve got this.

Ivor: I think this island is more than large enough for our needs.

Jesse: Yeah! If we dig up this entire island, we should have enough to get us over there!

Jesse: Elementary, my dear Lukas. The underside of this island is much, much bigger than it appears.

Lukas: Really?

Ivor: Jesse's right. If we strip this whole island down to nothing... it might just be enough.

Jesse: This island is definitely big enough.

Lukas: Really?

Jesse: Yeah! If we dig up this entire island, we should have enough to get us over there!

Ivor: If we strip this whole island down to nothing... it might just be enough.

The group dig through the dirt island, leaving 4 blocks to stand on.

Ivor: Stop pushing!

Petra: I'm not pushing! Lukas is pushing!

Lukas: I'm just trying to keep away from the edge!

Petra: It's ALL edge!

Jesse: Okay, gang, I think that should do it. Let’s make ourselves a bridge.

Ivor: Excellent!

The group build a dirt bridge towards the floating city.

Sky City[]

Jesse: Okay, this is our stop. Evvverybody off.

Petra looks back towards the bridge and sees a dirt skull, with lava pouring from its eyes.

Petra: Ivor... seriously?

(Removed Ivor's House)
(Kept Ivor's House)

Ivor: This is in memory of my lava house. LONG LIVE LAVA!

Ivor: Heh, sorry. Can’t help myself.

Citizen M1: You're building.

The group turn around towards a Citizen, standing by the entrance gates of the city.

Citizen M1: I... you... I don't...

This place is beautiful!
Where are the Blaze Rods?
What's wrong with building?
...

Jesse: Hey there! Love what you did with your town.

Citizen M1: I'm... I'm sorry, but I can't talk to you.

Lukas: Why?

Jesse: Hey! You seen a bunch of punks in matching jackets? Call themselves the Blaze Rods?

Citizen M1: I'm... I'm sorry, but I can't talk to you.

Lukas: Why?

Jesse: Hey. Yeah, we're building? Is something wrong with that?

Citizen M1: I, uh... you don't know?

Petra: Okay, let's cut to the chase. You seen a bunch of punks in matching outfits?

Lukas: Blaze Rods on the back?

Citizen M1: I'm... I'm sorry, but I can't talk to you.

Lukas: Why?

Citizen M1: You were building. Unauthorized building is against the law!

Petra: Wait, there’s a law saying people can’t build?

Citizen M1: Yes! It’s forbidden!

Ivor: This... this makes no sense. No sense at all!

Citizen M1: I... well, that's the law?

Why is it forbidden?
That's just nuts.
We had no idea!
...

Jesse: Okay, I'll bite. Why's building against the law?

Citizen M1: Oh, this is making me terribly nervous.

Jesse: That's nuts. Building's pretty important. Everyone should be allowed to do it!

Citizen M1: I... um...

Jesse: Right? I'm not crazy, right?

Citizen M1: Oh, this is making me terribly nervous.

Jesse: Oh, geez, I'm sorry. We had no idea.

Ivor: It's a stupid law.

Citizen M1: Oh, geez.

Ivor: It's a stupid law.

Citizen M1: Oh, this is making me terribly nervous.

Citizen M1: First those other outsiders, now you...

Lukas: “Other outsiders?” Where are they?

Citizen M1: They went to the inn. I'm sorry, but that's all I know.

The citizen runs off.

Jesse: Wait, wait, wait, come back!

Citizen M1: I’m just super busy, sorry!

Petra: Annnd he’s gone.

Lukas: Darn.

Ivor: I wonder if everyone here is that...

The group enter the city and stare a the multiple citizens walking around. In the distance is a large building, made out of gold and iron blocks.

Ivor: Nervous.

Lukas: Wow.

Ivor: Incredible!

It's beautiful!
What's it made of?
Who built it?
...

Jesse: Wow. That is absolutely beautiful.

Ivor: Yes. Clearly, the Eversource is capable of miraculous things.

Jesse: What’s it made of? It’s kind of... blinding to look at it.

Lukas: It looks like it’s all... gold and iron blocks? Whoever built this had rare materials to burn.

Ivor: Yes. Clearly, the Eversource is capable of miraculous things.

Jesse: It’s unbelievable... who made it?

Ivor: Whoever it was must have had the Eversource. It’s the only explanation for the copious amount of rare materials they used to build it!

Lukas: Gold and iron blocks? Whoever built this had rare materials to burn.

Ivor: Yes. Clearly, the Eversource is capable of miraculous things.

Ivor: And when I get my hands on it-

Petra: Hey, how about you take a massive chill pill and we find it first?

Ivor: Yes, yes, yes. I’m just getting excited.

Lukas: As crazy as Aiden’s being lately, if he gets that thing... it would be bad.

Petra: Well, if we beat him to it, he won’t be able to get his slimy little hands on the thing!

And he's got a head start.
We should keep a low profile.
We need to find that inn.
...

Jesse: We need to find Aiden. He’s got our flint and steel and he’s up to no good, but we’re gonna stop him.

Petra: He mentioned an inn, right? That seems like our best lead for finding Aiden so far.

Lukas: Agreed.

Jesse: The Blaze Rods already have a head start, so we need to get moving... we don’t have any time to lose.

Jesse: I’m starting to think that maybe we should try and keep a low profile while we look for the inn. These people seem pretty suspicious of us.

Ivor: Agreed.

Jesse: We just need to find the inn that nervous guy mentioned. How hard could it be?

Lukas: No idea, but it's definitely our best bet so far.

Ivor: Agreed.

Petra: He mentioned an inn, right? That seems like our best lead for finding Aiden so far.

Ivor: Agreed.

Petra: Just admiring the sights, actually. This place is so cool. I’m not usually one for, like, “checking out people’s builds” or whatever... but even I have to admit this is really impressive.

Jesse: How's it going, Lukas?

Lukas: I’m okay. Just watching these guards. They really mean business.

Jesse: Yeah, I wouldn’t mess with them if I were you.

Jesse: Doing okay, Ivor?

Ivor: Better than okay! This city is magnificent! You should really take notes for that town of yours.

Jesse: Boy, these are some popular crafting tables.

Guard 4: Don’t worry, everyone, your turn will come in time. Please have your materials ready when you approach the crafting table.

Citizen M2: Augh, I knew I shouldn’t have waited so long to eat...

Jesse: That guy is really itching to use the crafting table.

Citizen M2: Come onnnn... I’m starvin’ here...

(If Jesse didn't give the cake to Axel)

Jesse: Hey. If you’re hungry, you should try this.

Jesse gives the cake to the citizen.

Citizen M2: If you say so- ooohhh, holy handouts. That's incredible! (Eats) Do you... do you have any more of that.

Jesse: Sorry, all out.

Citizen M2: That's... that's okay. I may just never be happy again, until I find more of that... "cake."

Jesse: This is a long line just to use a crafting table.

(Gave Cake)
(Didn't Give Cake)

Citizen M2: Eh, it’s always like this. You, uh... you sure you don’t have any more of that cake?

Jesse: 'Fraid not.

Citizen M2: It's fine. I'm... sure I'll find some other way to fill that void.

Citizen M2: You're telling me. I'm so hungry I could practically eat my wheat right here... but I won’t. I’ll be patient and turn it into delicious bread instead.

Citizen M2: What, um, what can I do for you? (To self) I'm so hungry...

Can't you build your own crafting table?
So where do you guys live?
I'm looking for the inn.
Is it always this crowded?
...

Jesse: Seems pretty inefficient to have everyone sharing one crafting table. Why don’t you just build your own?

The citizen looks around in panic.

Jesse: What?

Citizen M2: Hey. I don't know what your deal is, but I don't want any part of it. Please leave me alone, now. Thank you.

(If Jesse asked anyone about the inn)

Jesse: So, where do you actually live? Like, do you all have houses on this island?

Citizen M2: Kind of a personal question. But, uh... if you really want to know, I live in a little house on the back spire. Please don't follow me home.

(If Jesse hasn't yet asked anyone about the inn)

Jesse: I heard you guys have an inn, somewhere around here. Where is it?

Citizen M2: Oh, uh, Milo's place? Ha. That guy's hilarious. He's over thataway.

Jesse: "Milo," huh? Thanks.

Citizen M2: No problem.

Jesse: Is it always like this? Everyone waiting in line just to bake bread?

Citizen M2: Usually, yeah. But at least people get their wheat allowance on different days to keep the lines down.

Citizen M2: Just, uh... just staring? That's cool. Coooooool.

Talk to Citizen M2 Again
...

(Said "Can't you build your own crafting table?")
(Said Anything Else)

Jesse: Hi-

Citizen M2: I told you. No building for me, thank you!

Jesse: How’s it going?

Citizen M2: Oh, you know. Still hungry. Still waiting. (To self) C'monnnn, come on, come on, come on...

Jesse: Hey, there.

Guard 3: Are you on the schedule for the furnace this afternoon? Didn’t think there were any more appointments today. Hang on, let me see here. (Reading) “Dale: Ten stone blocks.” Oh, yes, that went very well. (Reading) “Melissa: Three cooked porkchops.” She rescheduled. (Chuckles) Classic Mel.

You keep the furnace behind bars?
Why would I need an appointment?
I'm actually looking for the inn.
...

Jesse: You keep the furnace locked up? (Smirk) Did it do something wrong?

Guard 3: If you wish to make an appointment, speak to the Founder. Good day.

Jesse: “Appointment”? Why would I need an appointment to use a furnace?

Guard 3: By city law, acts of crafting are only authorized with the Founder’s permission. The appointment system is in place to safeguard against any illegal building or crafting. If you wish to make an appointment, speak to the Founder. Good day.

Jesse: Uh... no appointment for me, thanks. I’m actually looking for the inn.

Guard 3: Milo's place, right? It's back there.

Jesse: Right. "Milo." Thanks.

Guard 3: I see you’re admiring my sign-based appointment system. I know, you’re probably impressed. I don't do it to impress anyone... just want to keep things orderly. (Whispers) But thank you.

Jesse: (Reading) "No building, no crafting, no brewing, no forging, unless with EXPRESS PERMISSION from The Founder. All complaints must be registered in person. That’s it, you can stop writing now." Intense.

Reginald: Captain Reginald at your service.

Jesse: Hey, so what are you guys up to?

Reginald: Ah, just supervising this citizen while she does her build.

Citizen F2: The Founder finally approved my petition.

Jesse: "The Founder?"

Reginald: That's her palace, up there. She is the Keeper of the Eversource! Builds everything you see. Some days, I can't even fathom how she keeps it all straight. She's incredible. I'm, heh... I'm a fan.

The Founder builds EVERYTHING?!
That's where the Eversource is!
Does she make all these rules?
...

Jesse: She builds EVERYTHING?

Reginald: Yeah, well, it sure is amazing. Ha ha!

Jesse: Huh. So that’s where the Eversource is...

Reginald: Yep. Right by the Founder's side, so she can protect us from it.

Jesse: And so this Founder makes all the rules?

Reginald: You got it. She’s the one that protects us from the Eversource, so it seems only right.

Reginald: Yeah, well, it sure is amazing. Ha ha!

Reginald: That’s why she gets to make the calls about what does or doesn’t get built.

Citizen F2: Like my build!

Reginald: It’s no easy feat to get all of these oak blocks. Your petition was very well-handled.

Citizen F2: Aw, gosh... that's nice of you.

She's a real control freak!
Sounds like a hard way to live.
Why can't everyone build?
...

Jesse: Gotta tell ya, this Founder sounds like a control freak...

Reginald: "Control freak?" You watch your tongue!

Jesse: Man, that sounds like a tough way to live life.

Reginald: I suppose. It's the way its always been, though.

Jesse: I just don’t understand why everyone shouldn’t be allowed to build.

Reginald: Ha! What a sentiment. I mean, it is a good thought but... that’s crazy.

Reginald: Uh, if you’re just admiring the build, could you please step back a bit? We need to get back to it. Thanks very much.

Talk to Reginald Again
...

(Said "She's a real control freak!")
(Said Anything Else)

Jesse: Um, hello?

Reginald: What is it now?

Jesse: Hey again.

Reginald: Yes?

What do you guys do for fun here?
Know where the inn is?
Fancy uniform.
Can I call you Reggie?
I'll leave you to it then.

Jesse: So, I’m curious... what kind of stuff do you guys do for fun around here?

Reginald: Oh... all sorts of things. Make wishlists of resources, practice low-inventory builds. Some people do poetry. It’s a pretty great place to live.

(If Jesse hasn't yet asked anyone about the inn)

Jesse: I'm looking for the inn. Know where it is?

Reginald: Uh, yeah. It's back over thataway. Milo's place.

Jesse: "Milo," huh? Thanks.

Reginald: No problem.

Jesse: Fancy duds you’re wearing, Reginald. Is that a uniform?

Reginald: I try not to brag about it, but I’m actually the Captain of the Guard... one of the reasons I’m allowed to supervise a build like this one.

Jesse: “Reginald”, huh? Can I call you Reggie?

Reginald: No. I'd really rather you didn't. It's... "Reginald."

Jesse: Don’t let me interrupt you guys. Good luck.

Reginald: Much obliged.

Jesse: Hi!

Citizen F2: Uh. Hello.

You seem very focused.
I'm looking for the inn.
Do you need help?
...

Jesse: Wow. You are really focused, huh?

Citizen F2: I mean... yeah? It took me weeks to get this building permit and I am NOT going to waste it.

Jesse: You know where the inn is?

Citizen F2: Uh, yeah. I guess so. I don't trust the innkeeper, though.

Jesse: Thanks. I'll leave you to it, then.

Jesse: Do you need help with that?

Citizen F2: What? No! I mean, this was authorized as a solo build.

Reginald: No unauthorized build partners!

Citizen F2: Look. If you don’t need anything... I really need to keep focusing on this. If you don't mind.

Talk to Citizen F2 Again
...

Jesse: Hello there-

Citizen F2: I really can’t talk anymore. I only have one chance at this and I really, really don’t wanna screw it up.

(First Conversation)
(Returning Conversation)

Citizen F1: I can’t believe they just built their way right into town!

Citizen M1: I know! I've never seen anything like it!

Jesse: Uh, hello.

Citizen M1: Oh! Oh, my! Hello again!

Citizen F1: Can we, uh, do anything for you?

Jesse: Hey, folks.

Citizen M1: Hello.

What is the Eversource?
Are you talking about me?
I'm looking for the inn.
I'll just leave you guys alone.

Jesse: You guys seem like you might have the scoop. What's up with the Eversource?

Citizen M1: Well, um... it's in the Palace.

Jesse: Were you two talking about me just now?

Citizen M1: Ummm, no. Of course not.

Jesse: Uh huh.

Citizen M1: Please don't hurt us.

Jesse: Can you two point me in the direction of the inn?

Citizen M1: They must be looking for Milo.

Citizen F1: Sh, sh, sh.

Citizen M1: I mean, no! We don’t know any Milo!

Jesse: Really? Because it sure SOUNDS like you know him.

Citizen M1: Okay, okay. We know OF him. (Whispers) If you really want to find him...

Citizen F1: He's the kind of messy looking guy.

Citizen M1: Suspenders always falling down.

Citizen F1: So messy!

Jesse: Thanks... I guess.

Jesse: I'll just leave you guys alone, then. Have a nice day.

Citizen M1: Please stop building. It scares me.

Jesse: What...?

Citizen M1: Nothing! (To Citizen F1) We could have almost DIED just then.

Citizen F1: Oh, hush.

Guard 2: Don't step on the grass, please.

Jesse: Okay...

Guard 2: Sorry. I just take my job very seriously because it is, in fact, serious business. Not many people get the honor of watching the tree but, heh... I'm pretty good at my job.

Do you like working for the Founder?
Who are you guarding this place for?
What's so special about this garden?
You like guarding the garden?
I'm looking for the inn.
...

(If Jesse already talked with Reginald)

Jesse: So what do you think about working for the Founder?

Guard 2: Oh, she’s the absolute best. Very honored to be a part of helping keep the order. Very honored and proud. Sorry. I’d explain more, but I actually have to get back to my work. Sorry.

(If Jesse hasn't yet talked with Reginald)

Jesse: Who are you guarding this place for?

Guard 2: The Founder, of course!

Jesse: "Founder?"

Guard 2: Sorry. I'd explain more, but I actually have to get back to my work. Sorry.

Jesse: This garden must be special to get its own guard. What's the deal?

Guard 2: Why this is no ordinary garden, stranger! The dirt here is precious. This garden feeds almost everybody in town. If even one block were to drop over the edge... hoo! Catastrophe.

(If Jesse asked anyone anyone about the inn)

Jesse: Do you like guarding this garden?

Guard 2: The dirt here is precious. This garden feeds almost everybody in town. If even one block were to drop over the edge... hoo! Catastrophe.

(If Jesse hasn't yet asked about the inn)

Jesse: Quick question for you. You know where I could find an inn?

Guard 2: Yeah. Inn's got a big sign on it. Owned by a guy named Milo. I wouldn't get tangled up with that guy, though. He's trouble.

Jesse: “Milo”, huh? I’ll keep that in mind.

Guard 2: Ahem. Anyway, if you don’t mind, I actually have to get back to my duties. Okay? Have a pleasant day.

Talk to Guard 2 Again
...

Guard 2: Please continue to not step on the grass, thank you.

Guard 1: The Founder isn’t accepting visitors right now.

Jesse: Wow. Powerful ‘stache! How’d I never notice that before?

Guard 5: Sorry, stranger. Can’t come up here.

Jesse: All signs point to that being the innkeeper... like that sign.

Jesse approaches Milo, who is talking with another citizen. The citizen gives a pair of sticks to Milo.

Rebel 1: And where should I put them?

Milo: Yes, just give them here. I'll deal with them. (Sees Jesse) Get out of here. Go. Go! (To Jesse) Why, hello there. What can I do for you? I’m not sure what custom is, where YOU come from. But here, heh, it is considered impolite to stare. Especially when people are doing boring things not worth staring at... like simply minding their own business next to a wall.

I was told you could help me.
What was that all about?
Are you Milo?
...

Jesse: I heard from someone in town that you could help me?

Milo: Other people were... talking about me? They must have had me mistaken with some other handsome innkeeper, ha ha. hem. Out of curiosity, what is it that, uh, they thought I could help you with? I’m busy, but I can spare a moment for a friendly stranger. But, ahem, not too many moments, ha ha. What did you need?

Jesse: What, uh, what was that all about? With the whispering? And the sticks?

Milo: Ahh, sh, sh, sh. I don’t know what you’re talking about. None of that here. It’s, ha, not Stick Allowance Day, after all. So why would I, a humble innkeeper, have sticks? Seriously, just put all that out of your mind. It is not important. It was just friends exchanging pleasantries. Nothing more to see there. Ha.

Could you be MORE suspicious?
Okay... it's already forgotten.
That seemed sketchy.
...

Jesse: Wowww, dude. Could you be MORE suspicious?

Milo: Come again?

Jesse: You’re just giving off a real... shady vibe. And the more you protest, the shadier you seem. Just saying.

Milo: Well if I wanted your opinion on my “shadiness” I would have asked for it. As I didn’t, please throw your “shade” elsewhere. Was there something you needed? I’m sorry but I’m actually quite busy. Inns don’t keep themselves, you know. Lots of busy work.

Jesse: Hey, I’ve already forgotten all about it. No problemo.

Milo: Fantastic. Much appreciated. Now what can I do for you, friend? I’m busy, but I can spare a moment for a friendly stranger. But, ahem, not too many moments, ha ha. What did you need?

Jesse: I dunno. That seemed pretty sketchy to me.

Milo: Well. You’re starting to seem pretty NOSY to me, stranger. Was there something you needed? I’m sorry but I’m actually quite busy. Inns don’t keep themselves, you know. Lots of busy work.

Milo: Was there something you needed? I’m sorry but I’m actually quite busy. Inns don’t keep themselves, you know. Lots of busy work.

Jesse: Uh, hi. Sorry to bother you. Are you Milo?

Milo: Yes, yes, that’s me. A pleasure to meet you. Don’t see many new arrivals here in Sky City. Now what can I do for you, friend? I’m busy, but I can spare a moment for a friendly stranger. But, ahem, not too many moments, ha ha. What did you need?

Milo: Why are you just... staring at me? Listen. I don't know who you are, but I don't want anything to do with it. I’m sorry but I’m actually quite busy. Inns don’t keep themselves, you know. Lots of busy work.

Some punks want the Eversource!
You talked to the Blaze Rods?
Seriously, what's your deal?
...

Jesse: Some punks are trying to steal the Eversource. Know anything about it?

(Said "What was that all about?" + Didn't Say "Okay... it's already forgotten.")
(Said Anything Else)

Milo: Really? You come up to me interrogating me about some... outlandish nonsense and then you want to discuss someone stealing our city’s most valuable treasure? I don’t want any part of it.

Milo: Stealing the Eversource? How outlandish. Sounds like dangerous business to get mixed up in if you ask me!

Jesse: I heard you talked to the Blaze Rods, earlier. What did they want?

Milo: Hm, hmm “Blaze Rods?” Hm... I... I don't know any Blaze Rods. You must have been misled.

Jesse: Okay. Seriously, guy, what's your deal? Are you on the run? Undercover...?

Milo: Oh, I see. Just because I don't want to speak with you, that means I must have a "deal." Maybe, I just don't want to speak with you.

Milo: Okay, seriously, the staring is really starting to “weird me out.”

Milo: I’m sorry, but it’s like I told those other outsiders. I can’t help you. Now please-

Petra: Hey, this our guy?

Ivor: He tell you where to find the Blaze Rods?

Milo: How many of you are there? I told you, I don't know anything!

Ivor: He hasn't told you anything yet?

Petra: Is he hiding them somewhere?

Milo: I am uncomfortable with this line of questioning.

I know you spoke to them.
Don't lie to me.
You can trust me.
...

Jesse: Look. I know you spoke to them, Milo. Just spill it.

Milo: Fine! If it will make you leave me alone, that "Aiden" fellow DID come talk to me earlier. Wanted to know where the Eversource was.

Jesse: You sure keep saying "I don't know anything," a lot. Don't lie to me, Milo. That's how bad things happen.

Milo: Fine! If it will make you leave me alone, that "Aiden" fellow DID come talk to me earlier. Wanted to know where the Eversource was.

Jesse: Come on, you can trust me. Nothing bad is going to happen. Just help us.

Milo: Fine! If it will make you leave me alone, that "Aiden" fellow DID come talk to me earlier. Wanted to know where the Eversource was.

Milo: Okay! Okay! I’ll tell you what I know, just stop staring at me, PLEASE. That “Aiden” fellow DID come talk to me earlier, all right? He wanted to know where the Eversource was.

Ivor: Called it!

Milo: I just told him what everyone else already knows! The Eversource is in the palace with the Founder. That’s all that happened, I swear.

Petra: What a bunch of creeps.

Milo: Yes, I wasn't terribly fond of them.

Jesse: So where is Aiden now?

Milo: The group left for the palace and I haven't seen them since.

Reginald: Attention! Attention, everyone! Just a moment of your time, please! Emergency meeting! Attendance is mandatory!

Milo: Oh, slime blocks.

Ivor: Curious. I wonder what that's all about.

The group make their way towards the golden building. All of the citizens are crowded as the Founder exits the building.

Citizen F1: Oh! It's the Founder!

Jesse notices Aiden, standing next to the Founder.

Petra: I wonder what this is all about.

Ivor: Yes. I'm nervous, being surrounded by so many people.

Petra: You'll be fine, Ivor.

This isn't good.
I found the Blaze Rods.
You've got to be kidding me.
...

Jesse: Oh, this is not good.

Petra: What are you- oh, crap.

Jesse: Guys... I think I found the Blaze Rods.

Petra: Oh, no.

Lukas: What are they doing?

Jesse: Oh, you have got to be kidding me...

Petra: What are you- oh, crap.

Petra: The Blaze Rods? What are they doing up there?

Isa: People of Sky City! I'm sorry to pull you from your duties, but something urgent has come to my attention. A crime has been committed.

Citizen M1: A crime?

Citizen F1: What kind of crime?

Isa: Please, remain calm. Earlier today, outsiders built a bridge into our fair city from a distant island. Now, whether these outsiders know it or not, this is a violation of Sky City’s most sacred law. NO unauthorized building.

Milo: (Whispers) Wait, was that you? Are you the bridge builders?

Citizen M1: Obscene!

Citizen M2: Illegal builders! Atrocious!

Isa: Everyone, everyone, please!

Milo: Well?

I didn't know it was illegal!
That's a stupid law!
Uh, no. No idea.
...

Jesse: I didn't know it was against the law! It was just a bridge!

Petra: This is nuts!

Jesse: Yeah, I heard all about that stupid law and it’s stupid. A stupid law. Who would even come up with that?

Jesse: Uh, no. What? Why would you even ask that?

Lukas: How could we have known about that? We just got here!

Petra: Lukas, shut it.

Aiden whispers into the Founder's ear.

Isa: Jesse! Wherever you are, step forward now. I have already been informed of your identity. I appreciate that you may be ignorant of our laws, but I will warn you. Sky City is small. And I promise that if you try to hide... I will find you.

Several guards approach the crowd.

Ivor: We need to get to that Eversource at whatever cost! This is clearly our fastest way into the castle!

Petra: By getting arrested?!

Milo: Wait! Don't be fooled by the Founder's lies. I can help you come up with a plan to get into the palace.

Ivor: (Calling) Here I am! I built the bridge!

Petra: Are you crazy? Does she look like she's going to help us?

A guard grabs Ivor by the arm.

Ivor: Hey! Unhand me! This is completely unnecessary!

Petra: Jesse, we need to get out of here!

[Help Ivor]
[Go With Milo]

Jesse: Hey, don't treat him like that! We didn't do anything wrong!

A citizen gasps.

Citizen M2: The builders!

Ivor: Ha! Knew you'd see it my way. Thank you, Jesse. (To guard) HEY, hands off the robes.

Isa: Guards? Bring them forward.

Petra: Jesse, I... I’ll find a way to help you. I promise.

Petra leaves with Milo.

Lukas: (To Jesse) I hope you know what you're doing...

Ivor: Let go of me, this instant!

Reginald: Excuse me, excuse me. Come with me.

Isa: We meet at last.

Maya and Gill snicker.

Reginald: Who's snickering? What's that noise?

Hi, I'm Jesse.
Don't trust Aiden.
Nice to meet you!
...

Jesse: Hello there, Founder. I'm Jesse.

Jesse: Listen. I don't know what that guy's told you... but you can't listen to him.

Aiden: Aw, Jesse, I'm hurt. Wounded.

Jesse: Hey. You're the Founder, right? Nice to meet you. Jesse. Name's Jesse.

Aiden: Hey, Jesse.

Isa: Hm. I admire our honesty in stepping forward. This should be... interesting.

The Blaze Rods enter the palace with the Founder. The rest of the group follow behind.

Jesse: Sorry, Ivor. I'm going with Milo.

Petra: Me, too.

Milo: Quick, then. Follow me!

Jesse and Petra follow Milo through the alleyway.

Ivor: Wait, wait! I’m coming peacefully!

Aiden: Hey! Hey! That's them! They're getting away!

Reginald: After them!

Lukas: Jesse, run! Run!

Lukas is tackled to the ground by a guard. Jesse evades the guards and follows Petra and Milo. They hide inside a small building. The guards run past. Milo leads the group inside the inn.

Palace/Inn[]

(Went With Ivor)
(Went With Milo)

Jesse, Lukas and Ivor are taken into the throne room of the palace by a guard. In front of them are the Blaze Rods.

Isa: For your service to Sky City, I grant you these gifts.

A guard pulls a lever in the floor, opening an iron door. Several minecarts emerge from the door on a rail.

Ivor: (Whispers) There, see? That minecart she summoned. It must lead to the Eversource!

Lukas: Really? That's what you're focusing on? I'd say we have bigger problems on our hands, like Aiden. Look at him, all friendly with the Founder. That's bad news.

The Eversource is what matters.
Shut up, both of you!
Yeah, Aiden’s our focus.
...

Jesse: Ivor’s right. That must be the way to the Eversource.

Ivor: Ha. Nailed it.

Jesse: Would both of you guys just shut up? We’re trying to make a good impression here!

Lukas: Sorry, Jesse.

Ivor: Feh.

Jesse: Lukas is right. We need to figure out what Aiden is up to, so we can stop him. That's what we need to stay focused on.

Ivor: I've got the feeling I already know what Aiden is up to.

Ivor: I'm right. You'll see.

The Blaze Rods search through the minecarts and take carrots from them.

Isa: Take your reward and enjoy the bounty of Sky City's generosity.

Maya: Carrots? Really? You gotta be-

Aiden: (Nudges) We are honored, wonderful Founder.

Isa: Of course. Now, go. I have criminals to deal with.

The Blaze Rods make their way to the palace exit. Aiden slows down and approaches Jesse.

Aiden: Good luck, Jesse. I hope you like being doomed.

Maya: Totally doomed.

Gill: Blaze Rods!

You don't have to do this.
I'm going to stop you.
Your plan won't work.
...

Jesse: Aiden, you don’t have to do this. We can work together and all go home.

Aiden: Oh... we're way past that, Jesse.

Jesse: You're going down, Aiden. I'm going to stop you.

Aiden: Not this time, Jesse.

Jesse: This plan is crazy, Aiden. You're never going to pull it off.

Aiden: I wouldn't be so sure about that, Jesse. And you're going to get what's coming to you.

Aiden: Be sure to tell me what it's like to get thrown off the edge of a floating city, okay?

Aiden: Outta my way, Reggie.

Reginald: (Mutters) It's "Reginald." Come on, criminals. Time to see the Founder.

The group are taken in front of the throne.

Isa: Jesse and accomplices. You have committed acts of wanton and illegal building, something specifically forbidden by our laws. Explain yourself.

Ivor: (Whispers) This could still turn out okay.

Lukas: Are you kidding? She does NOT sound friendly.

That is a stupid law.
I didn't know it was illegal.
I'm not the bad guy here!
...

Jesse: Yeah. I’ve heard about this little “law” of yours, and I gotta tell ya... it’s really stupid.

Ivor: Heh. Good one, Jesse.

Isa: Hm. I knew you were a criminal, but I didn’t realize you were also so naive.

Jesse: But I didn’t know it was against the law when we started to build! We were stranded! What were we supposed to do?

Isa: Ignorance won't get you any favors.

Jesse: Founder, ma'am, you gotta believe me. I'm not the bad guy here!

Isa: Oh, really?

Ivor: Jesse, tell her the law is stupid! It's stupid!

Isa: Aiden told me all about you, Jesse. About how you’re a tyrant back home. About how you and your “Order of the Stone” steal all the world’s treasures for yourself. About how you’re here to steal the Eversource from my city. A terrible act of treason.

The Order of the Stone isn't like that.
Aiden is lying to you.
But they stole from US!
...

Jesse: Founder, ma’am, that’s actually not what the Order of the Stone does. Yes, we collect treasure. But we helped save the whole world! We’re not tyrants, or thieves! Aiden’s got that all wrong.

Jesse: Listen, Founder, Aiden’s a master manipulator. He’d say anything to get his hands on the Eversource.

Isa: Hmph! Much like you would seem to be doing right now.

Jesse: Whoa, whoa, whoa, you’ve got it all wrong. The Blaze Rods are the thieves! We’re just here trying to get back the thing they stole from us.

Isa: Really?

Isa: Who do you think you are?

Isa: Jesse. It's clear that you're the little ring-leader, so how about you come with me?

Jesse: Um... okay?

Ivor: I guess we'll just wait here, then.

Jesse follows the Founder to the edge of the floating island.

Isa: Tell me what you see.

What are you getting at?
I don't see anything.
I see a control freak.
...

Jesse: What are you getting at here?

Jesse: I don’t see anything. It’s just... empty.

Isa: Precisely.

Jesse: I see a control freak who loves the sound of her own voice.

Isa: Cute.

Isa: Precisely.

Isa: As you can see, nothing exists below us. Only the Void. Resources, every kind, are incredibly precious.

The Founder takes a block of cobblestone and drops it off the edge of the island.

Isa: And when something falls... it is gone, forever. It is why building only happens when I dictate it. People only receive materials when I allow it. Otherwise... we would collapse back into chaos. It is my duty to keep my people safe, and the only way I can do that is if our laws are obeyed.

What about the Eversource?
I guess that makes sense.
How can you be so sure?
...

Jesse: Well, yeah. But you’ve got the Eversource, right? Can’t you just use that to make more materials?

Isa: It is not that simple.

Jesse: I guess that makes sense. How would you get anything new up here?

Isa: I appreciate your trying to understand our world.

Jesse: Yeah, but it's still wrong. People should be allowed to build and craft whatever they want!

Isa: Aiden had warned me you were dangerous. But now, I am truly beginning to understand what a threat you are.

Isa: Choosing to stay silent, hm?

Isa: People act as though I want things to be this way... allocating the limited resources... risking my life every day...

What do you mean, "limited?"
Just tell me what it is!
Is the Eversource dangerous?
...

Jesse: Wait, what do you mean by “limited”? I heard the Eversource could make “unlimited precious materials.”

Isa: If only it were so simple....

Jesse: I’m so tired of people being so cryptic about this thing... just tell me what it is!

Isa: It is my burden. My curse...

Jesse: Wait, “risking your life”? Is the Eversource dangerous?

Isa: More than you could know...

Isa: It's not a duty I would wish on my enemy...

Isa: I’ll have you know that before I found the Eversource, this world was nothing more than a cluster of pathetic islands in the sky. I do this for my people. If I didn’t, things would go back to how they were before. That is... why I do what I do.

Let me help you.
You just want power!

Jesse: But you don’t need to do it alone. We could help you. We could work together.

Isa: (Sigh) Being the leader of this city... it is a tiring burden. But no. This is my city, these are my people... and it is my responsibility. I think I've heard quite enough.

Jesse is taken back to the throne room.

Ivor: Good. Now that you're back, we can talk properly-

Isa: Reginald? I’ve made my decision. (To Jesse) While I’m not convinced that you are here to steal the Eversource, the fact remains that you constructed a bridge of dirt without authorization. That is why you and your companions are to be detained until I can discern the full truth of the matter. Reginald, please remove them.

Reginald: Yes, ma'am.

Lukas: What?!

The guards grab Lukas and Ivor.

But we were getting along!
You're not being fair!
I wanted to help you!
...

Jesse: But... but we were getting along so well!

Isa: I'm afraid this is the way it has to be.

Jesse: That’s not fair! You can’t lock us up!

Isa: I believe you'll find that I can.

Jesse: Oh, come on! I wanted to help you! Don’t do this!

Isa: I’m afraid this is the way it has to be.

Jesse says nothing.

Jesse: See... to me, that just sounds like a big, fat excuse. I think you’re hoarding all the power for yourself!

Isa: You would know a little something about hoarding power, wouldn’t you? I think I've heard quite enough.

Jesse is taken back to the throne room.

Isa: I now see that Aiden was right, and that you’re nothing more than a common thief here to take the Eversource and destroy our community. Therefore, it is with great pleasure that I sentence you and your companions to be imprisoned. Indefinitely.

Ivor: What?!

Isa: Reginald, remove these criminals from my sight.

Reginald: Yes, ma'am.

Lukas: What?!

The guards grab Lukas and Ivor.

You're making a big mistake!
You're not being fair!
No jail can hold me!
...

Jesse: This is a big mistake! You’ll regret this.

Isa: I doubt that.

Jesse: That’s not fair! You can’t lock us up!

Isa: I believe you'll find that I can.

Jesse: You think I can’t get out of your little jail? I’ll be back!

Isa: I doubt that.

Jesse says nothing.

Reginald: Sorry, outsiders. Founder’s orders. No changing her mind now.

Jesse, Lukas and Ivor are taken to a prison cell. Their items are kept in chests outside the cell. Reginald searches through the chests.

Reginald: You guys have some really fascinating stuff, here...

You suck, Reggie.
Think we could make a deal?
Do you have to take our stuff?
...

Jesse: You suck.

Reginald: Hey... I'm just doing my job.

Ivor: Feh. Whatever, Reggie.

Jesse: Think we could make a deal? Trade some of our sweet stuff for freedom?

Reginald: I don't take bribes. Besides, I've already got all your stuff.

Ivor: Too bad.

Jesse: Hey, you already locked us up. Did you really need to confiscate our stuff, too?

Reginald: Well, it wouldn't be much of a jail if I let you keep your stuff.

Reginald: I'm just doi- what? Come on. I'm just doing my job, here. You're criminals. I catch criminals.

Reginald takes a sand block from a chest.

Reginald: Oh, wow... what is this?

Lukas: That's... mine?

Reginald: It's almost like dirt... but not?

It's called sand.
Just open the door!
I'm not telling you.
...

Jesse: It's called sand. You've never seen sand before?

Reginald: "Sand." Wow. What's it do?

Ivor: Are you kidding me? We are not going to explain SAND to the guy locking us behind bars. I refuse!

Jesse: JUST OPEN THE DOOR!

Reggie sighs.

Jesse: You know what? I'm not telling you.

Reginald: Well, geez. You don't have to be mean about it.

Ivor: Why do you have sand, anyway?

Reginald: Well, whatever it does, it's going in the chest with everything else.

Ivor: Feh. Nothing sadder than an unimportant man on the world's tiniest power trip.

Reginald: Hey, I don't have to take this. I'm in charge, here. You're criminals. Aiden told everyone all about how horrible you are. He said that you burn down trees, just for fun. That you steal all the world's treasures and hoard them for yourself. He also said that you tame wild animals... just so you can make them chase innocent people!

Do we look horrible?
That's ridiculous!
He's just a liar!
...

Jesse: Does this look like the face of a horrible criminal?

Reginald: Well... no. I suppose you don't seem that way, now that I meet you.

Jesse: Oh, come on. You can't really believe all that, can you?

Ivor: If he really wanted you to not like us, he would've told you about the Withers-

Lukas: WHOA, ha ha ha! Shut up, Ivor. Ha ha...

Reginald: It was a lot to take in. I suppose you don't seem that way, now that I meet you.

Jesse: You can't believe a thing Aiden says. He's a liar!

Reginald: He said that you'd say that. Though, I suppose... that's probably what a liar would say.

Lukas: And you really just believed that guy? Come on.

Reginald: I'm sorry, but this is the way it has to be. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go help the Blaze Rods beef up security. (To self) Can't believe I'm taking orders from that sniveling ittle- ahem. (To Jesse) Stay here and don't cause any trouble. I'm sure you'll be very comfortable.

Aiden's here to steal the Eversource!
Trust your instincts!
I promise, I'm NOT lying.
...

Jesse: Reginald, you've got to listen to me. Aiden's tricked the Founder so that he can steal the Eversource for himself. There's not much time.

Reginald: They're personal guests of the Founder. And sure... maybe I don't like them, but... I'm probably just being... paranoid.

Jesse: Reginald, you're the Captain of the Guard. If you don't think you can trust the Blaze Rods, you should listen to those instincts.

Reginald: They're personal guests of the Founder. And sure... maybe I don't like them, but... I'm probably just being... paranoid.

Jesse: Reginald, I promise. I'm not lying. You can believe me.

Reginald: Really? Kinda seems like a "your word vs. theirs" situation.

Lukas: Reginald, think about it. Do you really trust the Blaze Rods? How can you?

Reginald: They're personal guests of the Founder. And sure... maybe I don't like them, but... I'm probably just being... paranoid.

Why're they sucking up so much?
The Blaze Rods are bad people!
They just want you out of the way.
...

Jesse: Why do you think they're sucking up to the Founder so much?

Ivor: You fool! They want to get her guard down and then steal the Eversource!

Reginald: That... aw, geez... you might have something, there. I dunno. Hm...

Jesse: Reggie, listen to me. You've seen how they act. They're not good people. You know it!

Jesse: Reggie, think about it. They just want you out of the way. They're upstairs, beefing up security with the Founder, while you're what? Down here, locking up prisoners?

Reginald: You're right. While I'm down here... who knows what they're telling her?

Lukas: Reginald, tell me this. What in the palace have they seemed the most interested in?

Reginald: They were very interested in finding out about guard schedules and the layout of the palace- aw, geez...

Reginald: Okay, let's say you make a good point. And I'm not saying you do. But hypothetically... why would I, the Captain of the Guard, let you, a criminal, out of that cell?

Ivor: I'll never know how you looked at them and thought, "There are some upstanding citizens!"

We should be on the same side.
Who's worse: Me or Aiden?
Because you know it's right?
...

Jesse: I know that if you really think about it, you'll see. We should be on the same side, here. We're the good guys.

Reginald: "Good guys," huh?

Jesse: Okay, maybe you don't like me very much. But tell me this... who do you not like more? Me, or Aiden?

Reginald: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Huh.

Jesse: Reginald, because you know it's the right thing to do.

Reginald: You do make a compelling argument...

Lukas: Aiden won't get his hands on the Eversource. We'll make sure of that.

Reginald: Hmm. Hm hm hm... okay. Let's say I'm heading to the pantry to get you prisoners some bread. Do you... do you see where I'm going with this?

And you'll leave the door unlocked?
How long will you be gone?
We don't want bread!
...

Jesse: And maybe, you'll forget to lock the door...?

Jesse: How long would you say something like that would take you? On average?

Reginald: Probably about as long as it would take someone to get from here into the throne room...

Jesse: What? We don't want bread. We want freedom!

Reginald: I'm trying to help you, dummy! Do I have to spell it out for you?

Reginald: Really. Do you... do you not get it? I, the guard, am going to leave? Door will be unlocked? Get it?

Reginald looks around, then opens the cell door.

Reginald: Please, just get out of here. Get to the throne room and stop the Blaze Rods.

Reginald leaves the prison.

Ivor: Ha! Nice work. Now, on to the Eversource!

Jesse searches through the chests.

Lukas: I mean, I understand wanting to stop the Blaze Rods. But you can’t still really want to steal the Eversource, can you?

Taking the Eversource seems wrong.
I just don't want Aiden to get it.
The Eversource is gonna be mine.
...

Jesse: I'm actually starting to have my doubts on taking the Eversource. These people seem to really depend on it.

Ivor: What?! So you'd rather just hand it over to the Blaze Rods?!

Lukas: It would be one thing if we were plundering a temple, but this... this is starting to feel like stealing.

Better us having it than them, I guess.
No, they must be stopped.
Can we warn the Founder?
...

Jesse: Ivor's got a point. Better us having the Eversource than those jerks.

Jesse: Ivor's right. The Blaze Rods have gotta be stopped.

Jesse: Maybe we can find the Founder and warn her?

Ivor: Yes, yes. An excellent plan.

Ivor: So are we doing this, then? Yes? Yes?

Jesse: Honestly, I just don't want Aiden to get his hands on the Eversource. So long as we stop him, that's what's important.

Lukas: Sounds good to me. No way Aiden would do anything good if he had it.

Jesse: Ivor's right. We've gone through way too much to give up on getting the Eversource now. It's going to be mine.

Ivor: You see, Lukas?

Ivor: Well, if we don’t stop the Blaze Rods from getting the Eversource, things could get bad for everyone.

Jesse gives Ivor some potions and Lukas his sword and a sand block. Lukas stares at the sand block, awkwardly.

Jesse: Throne room was back this way.

The group leave the prison.

Jesse, Petra and Milo sneak inside the Inn while the guards call and search for them.

Milo: Just in here, yes...

Petra: There's nowhere to hide in here! It's a dead-end!

Milo: Before I take you two any further, you must take an oath.

Guard 2: I think they went this way!

Milo: You must swear to never reveal what I am about to show you.

Petra: What?!

Milo: Do you swear that?

Guard 2: We can’t let them get away!

Petra: Jesse...?

Yeah, sure, whatever!
Are you gonna help us or not?
Your secret's safe with me!
...

Jesse: Uh, yeah, sure, whatever. Can we please get on with it?

Milo: Not quite an oath, but it'll have to do.

Jesse: Uh, Milo? I don’t know if you’ve forgotten, but there are currently guards chasing us! Are you gonna help us or not here?

Milo: Hmph. I just hope I was right about you.

Jesse: (Salute) Milo, I solemnly swear that I will never tell your secret to anyone else.

Milo: Fantastic.

Petra: Okay, yes, yes, we swear, we swear!

Milo: That's what I like to hear.

Milo: Philipe!

A man at the counter pulls a lever, opening the wall and revealing a hidden room.

Milo: Right this way.

The group enter before the wall closes.

Milo: This... is Build Club.

Petra: Woah.

Milo: Everything you see before you was built from resources that my people have saved or... er... obtained.

Petra: Man. Can’t be easy to come by some of this stuff. Nice work.

Milo: It can be difficult, it’s true. Many items have to be snuck under the noses of guards...

Cool secret hideout!
Are you in charge here?
You mean you're thieves?
...

Jesse: Wow. This is quite the secret hideout, Milo! Very nice!

Milo: Ahem, it is not a "hideout." It is a Build Club.

Jesse: Wow, and so are you the leader of this little outfit?

Milo: Yes, I suppose you could say that.

Jesse: So you’re... thieves, then?

Milo: If you want to get “black and white” about it, then yes. I suppose we sometimes need to resort to less-than-legal methods to get our materials.

Petra: That’s pretty harsh, Jesse. They’re just stealing from the rich tyrants in charge. That’s, like, good stealing.

Milo: I know it may not look like much. But it is my little hideaway for those like yourselves... people who wish to build, away from the Founder’s oppressive rules.

Milo: You see, one day a long time ago... I was just a citizen of Sky City, like any other. I wanted to make a community garden. So I put in a petition for a dirt block and, mercy me, it was granted! But in my excitement and haste to build my garden, I accidentally dropped my new block and it fell... right over the edge. For my crime, I was tossed into the Founder’s dungeons. And I was in there for a very, very long time. Oh, how I great to hate that dungeon.

But it was an accident!
What was the crime?
Pretty extreme, don't you think?
...

Jesse: Well, okay, but it was an accident! They can’t lock you up for that, can they?

Milo: Oh, but they can. It was deemed an “Egregious Wasting of Resources.”

Jesse: Wait, you just dropped some dirt. What was the crime?

Milo: The crime, Jesse, was the “Egregious Wasting of Resources.”

Jesse: Geez, that seems pretty harsh for such a tiny crime.

Milo: Oh, but it's not tiny. I was charged with “Egregious Wasting of Resources.” And in Sky City, that's one of the worst crimes of all.

Petra: Wow. All for a block of dirt.

Milo: It wasn't just the block of dirt. It was what that block of dirt represented.

Milo: You see. In our world, when something falls over the edge, it is gone. Forever. But I have always believed in my heart that just because building is risky, it doesn’t mean that no one should do it! If only I had known you were builders sooner I would have helped you all escape when I first met you, rather than let your friends be taken. But at least you are here, yes?

Petra: I would like to save Lukas. And... Ivor, I guess.

Our friends need us.
You said you had a plan?
Will your people help us?
...

Jesse: Milo, our friends are in trouble. We have to help them.

Milo: Yes, I know. I-

Jesse: You said something before about having a plan? A different way into the palace to save our friends?

Milo: Yes, I did say that-

Jesse: Milo. Your people are rebels, willing to fight the system. Will they help us save our friends?

Milo: Why, I think they might-

Petra: Is there anything you can do, Milo? Our friends are in trouble.

Milo: Yes, I think-

Rebel M1: Hey! Milo!

Milo: Ah! Hello, my friends.

Rebel M1: Bringing in outsiders? Seriously?

Rebel F2: Pretty hard to keep this a secret club if you just bring people in.

Rebel M2: We have it hard enough as it is!

Milo: Everyone, please!

Rebel F1: Yeah! It’s hard enough without you bringing in a couple of randos!

We're builders, too!
Would you back off?
We just need your help.
...

Jesse: Guys, don't worry. We're builders, just like you!

Petra: Yeah, Jesse's right. Just chill out. We're the ones that built that bridge into town today.

Jesse: Uh... you wanna get out of our faces, pal?

Rebel F2: What did you say to me?

Petra: You heard Jesse. Back off.

Milo: Whoa, whoa, whoa, hang on, hang on. I swear, they’re cool. These aren’t just any outsiders, they’re the ones who built that magnificent bridge into town today!

Jesse: I’m sorry to come barging in like this, we just really need your help.

Milo: And we’re going to give it to them. Right, guys? These aren’t just any outsiders, they’re the ones who built that magnificent bridge into town today!

Petra: Okay. If you guys don’t cool it, I’m gonna have to get out Lady Smackdown and Mistress Mayhem. And they're feelin' feisty, today.

Milo: Everyone, everyone, please! I assure you. These aren’t just any outsiders, they’re the ones who built that magnificent bridge into town today!

Rebel M3: Dude!

Rebel M2: What?!

Rebel F1: Milo! Geez!

Rebel F3: Milo, are you kidding me? The most wanted criminals in the whole city?! We gotta turn them in before the guards break our door down!

Petra: Well, no. Let's not do that.

Milo: I assure you, harbouring them is worth the risk! They are the epitome of Build Club material!

The rebels chatter with one another.

Rebel M1: All right, then. If Milo says you’re these “amazing builders”... prove it.

Rebel F2: Yeah. Build something.

Milo: Now see here, this is all highly disrespectful to my guests. I’m the leader here!

But Milo said you'd help us!
I can build circles around you.
We don't have time for this!
...

Jesse: Hey, Milo said that you guys were going to help us!

Milo: And they will, I swear! Just please help me appease them? They’re nervous.

Jessse: I think I know my way around a crafting table better than any of you chumps.

Rebel M1: Oho! Cocky. Let's see if you can back that up.

Jesse: Oh, come on. We don’t have time for this!

Petra: I'll be fine. You're one of the best builders I know.

Jesse: "One of?"

Petra: Just point out a crafting table and Jesse’ll give you a show. You’ll see.

Rebel M1: Fine.

Milo: We don’t know many recipes, so if you just show us something that they build where you come from...

Petra: You’re gonna be just fine, Jesse.

Milo gives Jesse some iron ingots.

Milo: Jesse... it took us many weeks to scrape together this inventory. Please, use them for your build.

Jesse approaches the platform. On the platform is a crafting table and 2 iron blocks, stacked on top of one another.

Rebels: (Chanting) Build! Build! Build! Build!

(Idle Dialogue)
...

Rebel M2: What do you think the outsider’s going to build?

Rebel F3: No idea. Anybody got something to take notes with?

Rebel M2: No.

Rebel F3: Darn. I guess I’ll just have to try and remember all this, then.

Rebel F1: Getting nervous yet, Milo?

Milo: Ha ha, what? No. Of course not. This day is going exactly as I hoped it would go when I got out of bed this morning. Ha. Ha...

Petra: Don’t worry, I’ve seen Jesse craft under waaay more stressful circumstances.

Milo: Really?

Petra: Yeah. Once you’ve seen someone craft in zero-gravity... well, nothing else is ever quite THAT stressful.

Milo: So, uh, what have you thought of Sky City so far?

Petra: Honestly, I think it’s awesome. The whole “oppressed by the Founder” thing kinda sucks, but this place is pretty cool. I love this whole “secret rebellion” thing.

Milo: Ahhh, thank you. I'm pretty proud of it myself.

Rebel M1: Huh. Interesting technique. Reminds me of Stan’s building.

Rebel F2: What? No. Stan's method is overrated. It's too brainy.

Rebel M3: Guys, shhhhh. I’m trying to watch the building!

Build Iron Golem
Use Crafting Table

Jesse: Let’s see here...

Jesse places two iron blocks and a pumpkin, creating an Iron Golem.

Milo: Sweet mercy!

Rebel F1: Ahhh!

Milo: Jesse?! What is that thing?! Is... is it safe?

The golem's under my control!
It's completely harmless!
Run for your lives!!!
...

Jesse: Fear not, everyone! The golem is under my control and obeys my every whim!

Rebel F1: I’m sorry we ever doubted you! Your building is truly magnificent. We all bow to you.

Jesse: Everyone! Everyone, please! It’s not as bad as it looks.

Milo: But that monster... it wants to eat us!

Jesse: No, no, it won’t hurt anyone. It’s totally tame.

Jesse: Oh, no, everyone! It's an Iron Golem and it's out of control! Run for your lives!

Rebel F1: Remember me as I was!

Petra: Jesse.

Jesse: Whaaat?

Petra: Hey, everyone calm down. There’s nothing to worry about.

Milo: But that monster... it wants to eat us!

Petra: No, it won’t hurt you. I promise.

Jesse: Let's see what we've got to work with...

Craft Anvil
Craft Iron Boots

Jesse: Boom! Check that out!

Rebel F1: Pfft. I've seen one of those before.

Milo: Yes, but we’ve never been able to figure out how to make one ourselves! Very impressive.

Rebel M1: Oh, wait a minute... I think I know.

It can repair your tools.
Impressive, isn't it?
It's called an "anvil."
...

Jesse: Using this, you’ll be able to repair your tools and use them for much longer!

Jesse: Pretty impressive, right? I know what I’m doing. You can thank me later.

Jesse: This... is called an “anvil.” It’s very useful. And impressive.

Petra: It’s called an “anvil.” You can use it to repair your tools.

Milo: Well, that is very useful then! Spectacular!

Jesse: You guys seen these before? Huh? Huh?

Rebel F1: What are- I mean, what do you call those where you come from?

Rebel M1: They look heavy.

Rebel F2: And super shiny...

Milo: They're beautiful.

They protect your feet.
Impressive, isn't it?
They're iron boots.
...

Jesse: They’re for protecting your feet.

Jesse: Pretty impressive, right? I know what I’m doing. You can thank me later.

Jesse: These... are Iron Boots.

Petra: They’re boots. It’s a kind of armor.

Milo: They. Are. Exquisite! Wonderful craftsmanship!

Rebel F2: I can understand why the guards are after you. I mean, that was awesome!

Milo: Right? I told you!

Rebel M3: Yeah, we're really sorry. Wowzers.

Rebel F1: So sorry.

Rebel M1: Yeah... we're sorry.

Rebel F2: Sorry.

Rebel M2: I'm sorry.

Apology accepted.
I didn't do it to impress you.
Now will you help us?
...

Jesse: Hey, these things happen. Apologies totally accepted, dudes. Now, uh, how about that whole “getting us into the palace” thing?

Petra: Yeah, that would be great.

Jesse: Please, I didn’t do it to impress you. I did it because Milo promised to get us into the palace and you guys wouldn’t get off his back.

Petra: Time to make good on your word. Right, Milo?

Jesse: Awesome. Well, if that’s taken care of, think you guys could help us get into the palace and save our friends now?

Petra: Okay, awesome. You’re all sorry, and that’s great... but how about we start talking “getting into the palace.”

Milo: Ah, yes. Of course, of course. That is, after all, why you are here. I must say, though. After seeing you in action... your skills are even more impressive than I could have imagined. So impressive that I wonder if I could implore you for a tiny favor.

Petra: What kind of favor?

Milo: I help you get into the palace, you help me steal the Eversource for my people. Unlimited resources for everyone!

The crowd cheers.

Rebel M1: I'm overwhelmed at the thought.

You've got to be kidding.
No way, the Eversource is mine.
I'll do it if we help my friends.
...

Jesse: Are you kidding? We had a deal, Milo! You can’t keep changing it around!

Jesse: Yeah, only one problem with that plan... I want the Eversource.

Milo: I have already told you the deal, Jesse. When we find the Eversource... we will see. But for now, this is the only way I will help you.

Jesse: Okay, but my friends are in trouble in there. So if we’re breaking into the palace, we’re going to save them.

Milo: That is an acceptable and noble arrangement.

Petra: Good.

Petra: What do you really want the Eversource for?

Milo: Isn’t it obvious? We can only build using the scraps that we collect, like crumbs fallen from the Founder’s table. But with the Eversource... we could build as much as we please. Everyone could!

Milo: Now. As for how to get into the palace. According to my informants, the Founder keeps the Eversource behind a secret door located in her throne room. Every night, the Founder leaves guards at every door... but there’s a single window at the back of the palace that is left unguarded. It’s an almost perfect point of entry. But... It is far too high. If we can find a way through that window, the Eversource would be practically within our grasp!

She really outsmarted you guys, huh?
The height doesn't matter.
Why don't we climb up?
...

Jesse: Wow. The Founder really outsmarted you guys with all those laws of hers, didn’t she?

Milo: I... I don't understand.

Petra: Aw, adorable.

Jesse: It means you guys need to start thinking like builders out there! We’re gonna make a ladder!

Jesse: Guys, how high it is doesn’t matter!

Milo: What?

Jesse: You just have to start thinking like real builders and craft a solution!

Petra: Yeah. Like a ladder.

Jesse: Okay, so we'll just climb up. That doesn't seem too hard.

Milo: You have not seen this wall. We have tried, but it is sheer steel blocks. No hand-holds.

Petra: Ha, hoo.

Milo: Yes...?

Petra: That sounds easy enough to fix. We’ll just build some ladders.

Rebel M2: Building ladders...?

Rebel F3: Craft a way in...?

Milo: If you could show us how to craft something that would reach the window... we could get this heist underway! (Gives sticks)

Jesse crafts a ladder at the crafting table.

Milo: Yes. Of course. It seems so simple now.

The crowd cheers.

Milo: You are one of us, Jesse! We will never forget this day.

Throne Room[]

(Went With Ivor)
(Went With Milo)

Jesse, Lukas and Ivor sneak past a guard into the throne room.

Lukas: Well, here we are. Back in the throne room.

Ivor: Keep your voice down. We don’t know if we’re alone in here...

Lukas: I don't know. Looks deserted to me.

Jesse notices a figure, creeping towards Lukas from behind.

Lukas!
Watch out!
Behind you!
...

Jesse: Lukas! Look out!

Jesse: Watch out!

Jesse: Behind you!

Jesse says nothing.

The figure punches Lukas in the back of his head.

Lukas: Gah!

Jesse: Hey!

Petra: Wait! Stop! Milo, easy! That’s Jesse and Lukas! Jesse, I can't believe we found you!

Lukas: I can't believe you punched me...

Milo: Ah, yes, I feel absolutely terrible about that, let me assure you!

Ivor: I, heh, I thought it was pretty funny.

You ditched us!
You've got great timing!
What are you doing here?
...

Jesse: I can't believe you went with this guy. We should have stayed together!

Petra: I’m sorry, okay? I had to go with my gut. I’m glad you’re all right.

Jesse: Where were you?

Ivor: Yeah.

Jesse: Petra, what in the world are you doing here?

Petra: Lukas, are you okay?

Lukas: Yeah, I'm fine.

Petra: We were actually planning to break you out of jail, but... I guess you guys have that covered.

Milo: Hello again, Jesse. It seems fate has destined our paths to cross, once more. I had hoped this would be the case.

Ivor: This is all very nice and very sweet, but... who the heck are you?!

Aren't you that innkeeper?
Look before you hit people!
You trust this guy, Petra?
...

Jesse: Hey, you're that weird innkeeper guy!

Milo: Ha! Well, that is my day job.

Jesse: Uh... maybe you should look at someone's face before blindly punching them, next time. Pro-tip.

Milo: I am terribly sorry about that, friend.

Ivor: What are you doing here, anyway? I don't see any inns that need keeping.

Jesse: You trust this guy, Petra?

Petra: Yeah, he really helped me. He's cool.

Petra: I promise, you guys can trust him.

Milo: In actuality, I am the leader of a group that wants the same thing you do.

Petra: It's a rebellion.

Milo: It is a long story. In short, my people want to free the Eversource from the Founder's clutches so that everyone may use it. If Aiden and his Blaze Rods steal the Eversource, we'll just be trading one tyrant for another. I won't allow that.

Lukas: Yeah, he's gotta be stopped.

Milo: If we work together, we can find it first!

Lukas: I do like the idea of beating Aiden.

I trust Petra.
Just stay out of my way.
Welcome aboard, Milo.
...

Jesse: Hey. If Petra says you're cool, that's all I need to hear.

Jesse: Doesn't seem like I'll be able to get rid of you, so just stay out of my way. Okay?

Milo: Fine.

Jesse: Milo, I'm happy to have you aboard. Welcome to the team.

Milo: Very pleased to be involved.

Ivor: Yes, yes. Your impassioned speech is very convincing.

Milo: The Founder’s secret entrance is supposed to be somewhere in this throne room...

Jesse approaches the Redstone doorway.

Jesse: There was a door here, before. With a minecart.

Lukas: Yeah. What happened to it?

Jesse: Just need to make something to activate that Redstone circuit again. There’s gotta be something in here we can use.

Ivor: Like a lever. If you can find one of those bad boys, we’ll have that secret door open in a snap!

Jesse, Petra and Milo wait outside the walls of the throne room.

Milo: Okay, my friends, this should take us right into the throne room. Once inside, we will just need to find the secret entrance that the Founder supposedly uses. Isn't it exciting? On our way to changing everything! Freeing the Eversource for the people!

Keep it down, Milo!
"Supposedly?"
That sounds risky.
...

Jesse: Hey. Would you keep it down, Milo? We're sneaking in, remember? "Sneaking."

Milo: Right, right, right. My apologies. I'm just so excited... actually out in the field, applying ladders to a wall!

Jesse: “Supposedly”? We’re pinning all of our hopes on “supposedly”?

Milo: Ha, you worry too much. Enjoy the limit of mystery.

Jesse: This sounds risky, Milo. The throne room doesn’t exactly seem like a low-security part of the palace...

Milo: I know! Isn't it thrilling?

Petra: Milo, pipe down. There are guards down there.

Milo: Right, right, right. My apologies. I'm just so excited... actually out in the field, applying ladders to a wall!

Jesse climbs up the wall into the Throne Room using ladders. Petra and Milo follow. They sneak across, before hearing voices from another room.

Guard 1: Then what did SHE say...?

Petra: Guards! Everyone hide!

They creep up behind a wall. Ivor and Lukas enter the room.

Ivor: Okay, the throne room was in here...

Lukas: Yeah, I know. I know. Why are you saying things to me that I already-

Jesse: Whoa!

Lukas: Whoa!

Ivor: Jesse!

Lukas: Jesse! Petra! Boy, am I glad to see you guys!

Petra: Right back atcha.

Ivor: What are the odds, am I right?

I'm glad you're okay!
We're here to rescue you!
What're you doing here?
...

Jesse: I'm so glad you two are okay!

Ivor: We were in the dungeon.

Lukas: But we broke out.

Jesse: Lukas! Ivor! We're here to rescue you!

Ivor: I think you're a little late for that.

Lukas: Ha, yeah. We broke out ourselves.

Jesse: Hang on, I thought you guys were arrested!

Ivor: We were.

Lukas: But we broke out.

Ivor: No thanks to you!

Ivor: Well. Nice to see you, too.

Lukas: We gotta get out of here. We just broke out of the dungeon.

Lukas: It’s a good thing you guys are here... Aiden’s going after the Eversource!

Ivor: Which we obviously can’t abide! We’re here to get it first!

Milo: Fantastic! That is what we are doing as well.

Lukas: Who, uh... who's this guy, by the way? I mean, I assume he's cool. Right?

Ivor: Why would you assume that?

Petra: He's cool, Ivor. Don't worry.

Milo: Well... I try to be cool. It's true.

That's Milo.
He's a rebel leader!
Don't worry about it.
...

Jesse: Oh, right. Milo, Lukas. Lukas, Milo. Milo, Ivor. Ivor, Milo. He’s a new friend.

Milo: I am charmed.

Ivor: Yeah, yeah.

Jesse: Lukas, Ivor, this is Milo. He's the leader of an underground rebellion.

Lukas: Wow. That's pretty cool.

Milo: A pleasure.

Ivor: Yeah. Hi. Sure.

Jesse: Don't worry about it.

Milo: My, uh... my name is Milo.

Ivor: Feh. Let's keep moving.

Petra: Guys, this is Milo. He's our friend that helped us get in here.

Milo: The Founder’s secret entrance is supposed to be somewhere in this throne room...

Jesse: If it's in here, we'll find it.

Petra: Not yet. But the acoustics are funky in this place, so it's hard to tell when people are coming. We shouldn't hang around.

Jesse: Got it.

(Went With Ivor)
...

Petra: I'm glad you're okay, by the way.

Jesse: Ha, thanks. Me too.

Jesse: How's it looking?

Lukas: Still looking like it needs power.

Jesse: Don’t worry, I’ll find the answer.

Lukas: Okay. I believe in you.

(Went With Ivor)
(Went With Milo)

Jesse: There isn't, like, a potion or something that could help us. Is there?

Ivor: That's not how potions work, Jesse. Although, I should really look into that. Oh, uh, Jesse? Thank you, by the way, for getting arrested with me. No one’s ever done anything like that for me, before.

Jesse: You're welcome.

Ivor: Now go away! All of this “opening up” is making me grossly uncomfortable!

Jesse: So... how was prison life?

Ivor: Oh, it was wonderful. I’ve always wanted time behind bars to work on my poetry. That was sarcasm, in case you were curious.

(Went With Ivor)
(Went With Milo)

Jesse: So... do you have, like, any underground rebel-type secrets that could help us out of here?

Milo: Err, I'm afraid not. Though, I will certainly tell you if I think of any.

Jesse: Can you believe it? We got in!

Milo: Yes, I am very grateful to you for all of your help.

Jesse: Give yourself some credit, Milo. You've done Build Club proud.

Jesse: (Reading) “Habits of the Endermen”... by Soren? Wow, how’d that get here?

Look at Bookcase Again
...

Jesse: The rest are just inventory registries and legal information. Boring.

Jesse: Huh. I get the feeling this is a special tree.

Milo: Yes, the ground you're standing on is actually the original island that all of Sky City started from. That tree dropped the saplings that grew into every tree on the island. I may not agree with the Founder’s methods, but even I must admit that’s an impressive feat.

Jesse: Wow. That IS pretty special.

Jesse: Definitely Regal. Not bad.

Ivor: Jesse... what are you doing?

Jesse: Heh, sorry.

(Went With Ivor)
(Went With Milo)

Jesse: What would Olivia say right now? Probably something like, "Jesse, it looks like it doesn't have any power!"

Jesse: I’m getting a very “door” vibe from this.

Lukas: Yeah. What happened to it?

Jesse: Just need to make something to activate that redstone circuit again. There’s gotta be something in here we can use.

Ivor: Like a lever. If you can find one of those bad boys, we’ll have that secret door open in a snap!

Look at Closed Doorway Again
...

Jesse: What would Olivia say right now? Probably something like, "Jesse, it looks like it doesn't have any power!"

Jesse: If I had a lever, this would be the perfect spot for it.

Jesse: This must be where the Founder crafts things for the people.

Jesse: Wow. It’s so big. The nothingness, I mean.

Jesse approaches a cobblestone generator on the outside of the throne room.

Jesse: Huh.

Ivor: (Gasp) A cobblestone generator! Amazing! Lava and water, placed exactly far enough that when they collide... it creates cobblestone! Genius!

Jesse grabs a cobblestone block from the generator. Another one takes its place, soon after.

Ivor: That is ingenious!

Jesse approaches a dead bush.

Jesse: Poor dead bush. Barely more than a bundle of sticks.

Jesse punches the dead bush.

Jesse: Hopefully, no one will miss one dead bush...

Jesse takes the sticks from the dead bush.

Jesse: Perfect. I think that should be everything I need to make a lever, now.

Jesse approaches a crafting table.

Jesse: Okay, let’s do this.

Jesse crafts a lever.

Jesse: Ahh. My old friend, the lever.

Milo: Fantastic.

Jesse: Agh! Didn’t know you were watching.

Milo: My apologies. It is still just such a thrill to see someone so confident and sure in their building abilities.

(Went With Ivor)
...

Milo: You and your friend, Petra, have been very inspiring to me and my people. With your help, we may finally liberate ourselves from the Founder’s clutches.

Jesse places the lever into the Redstone slot and pulls it, activating and opening the iron door. A line of minecarts emerge from the tracks.

Ivor: Excellent! This is it!

Jesse: Eversource, here we come.

The group enters the minecarts and make their way into a lower room of the palace. They leave the minecarts. Around the room are multiple large chests, with signs by each of them.

Jesse: Wow, look at all these chests...

Petra: Yeah. And they’re all... labelled?

Milo: (Reading) “Creeper,” “Zombie,” “Sheep,” “Pigman?” Curious.

Ivor: But... what does it mean?

Jesse opens a chest and takes out an egg.

Jesse: Huh.

Lukas: Eggs? The sign says “sheep,” not “eggs.”

Petra: Might as well throw it and give it a shot?

Jesse throws the egg at a wall. A sheep spawns from the egg.

Petra: A sheep?

Milo: Is.. is that a monster? That is not so bad. It is fluffy.

Petra: So the eggs all have creatures inside them...

Lukas: And they’re all different colors. They must be, y’know, color-coded to what’s in them.

Petra: So she can just spawn things, whenever she wants to.

These eggs provide materials.
This isn't an efficient system.
The Eversource makes eggs?
...

Jesse: This must be where the resources come from. Different monsters and creatures... different drops.

Jesse: The Founder must have to kill literally thousands of monsters to get the resources to make anything. That doesn't seem very efficient.

Milo: But she doesn’t have any other options.

Jesse: The Eversource makes these... spawn... egg... things?

Jesse says nothing.

Ivor: Stay on your toes! We’re close! Ahh, I can’t wait!

Jesse: Let's take a look around.

Jesse walks over to the other end of the room and notices a strange figure, hiding behind a dirt block. The figure leaves its hiding spot, revealing itself to be a chicken with a crown on its head.

Milo: Incredible!

Well, this is weird.
It's a chicken?
We found it!
...

Jesse: Wow. Well, this is pretty weird.

Petra: What?

Milo: The Eversource. It's just a chicken!

Jesse: The Eversource is a chicken?

Petra: What?

Ivor: Yes... the spawn eggs. It's so simple!

Lukas: Wait. Wait, wait, wait. THAT'S the Eversource?

Jesse: You guys... meet the Eversource.

Petra: What?

Lukas: No way.

Ivor: Yes... the spawn eggs. It's so simple!

Lukas: Wait. Wait, wait, wait. THAT'S the Eversource?

Petra: What?

Jesse: So... the chicken lays the eggs... and the eggs... make monsters... and the loot from the monsters... made this place?

Ivor: Well, throw it in the minecart and let's get out of here. We're still taking it, right?

Lukas: The chicken that this entire city depends on? Are you sure that's a good idea?

Milo: What are you talking about? We need to bring it to the people. With it, we'll finally be free of the Founder!

Ivor: But that clucking thing is what we came for!

Leave it where it is.
We're taking the chicken.
The people should have it.
...

Jesse: Ivor, geez. Lukas is right. We can't just steal- er, kidnap-

Petra: "Chicken-nap?"

Jesse: We can’t just chicken-nap the Eversource. It’s the only way these people survive.

Ivor: What?! I thought that was the whole point of this adventure!

Jesse: Hey. I'm with you, Ivor. Let's grab it and get out of here.

Ivor: Ha ha! Adventure!

Lukas: Dude, seriously?

Jesse: Milo's right. The Eversource belongs to the people. (Picks up chicken)

Ivor: What?! I thought that was the whole point of this adventure!

Jesse says nothing.

Suddenly, a figure takes out Petra, Ivor and Milo and throws them to the ground. Jesse turns around and sees the Founder in front of them. The Blaze Rods enter the room with weapons.

Isa: I knew it. I knew you were here to steal from me!

Ivor: Augh... pain...

Milo: She's too fast...

Petra: Just... give me a second to catch my breath...

Don't you dare hurt them!
Let's just talk about this.
We aren't thieves!
It doesn't belong to her!
I was just holding it!
...

Jesse: Hey! Don’t you dare hurt them!

Isa: Says the trespassing criminal.

Jesse: Hang on a second. Let’s just talk about this, okay?

Isa: I'm not sure there's anything to talk about.

(If Jesse said to leave the chicken where it is or said nothing)

Jesse: No, no, no. No one’s stealing anything. The chicken... the Eversource is staying right where it belongs, don’t worry!

(If Jesse said the Eversource belongs to the people)

Jesse: The Eversource doesn’t just belong to her! It belongs to everyone!

Milo: This chicken belongs to the people! Don't try to stop us!

(If Jesse took the chicken for themselves)

Jesse: I, uh... I was just holding it. I wasn't really going to take it!

Isa: What?

Isa: Nothing to say for yourself?

Aiden: It's just like I told you, Founder. They're here to steal the Eversource! Classic Order of the Stone.

Isa: You don't say...

Ivor: What?! No! Don't believe them!

Milo: You have the wrong idea!

Aiden: Shut up, criminals.

You just want it for yourself!
Just shut up, Aiden!
But YOU'RE the bad guy!
...

Jesse: Are you kidding me? You just want it for yourself!

Jesse: Ugh, Aiden, would you just shut up already?!

Jesse: No, no, no. Yyou don’t get to spin it like this, Aiden. YOU’RE the bad guy!

Ivor: Oh, this is ridiculous! It's all lies!

(Went With Ivor)
(Went With Milo)

Isa: And I'm supposed to believe the escaped convicts?

Isa: You just expect me to believe a bunch of criminals?

Isa: Aiden warned me that you were a pack of thieves. And here you are, prepared to make off with the one thing our city depends on to survive!

Aiden: Boy... when you put it like that, I almost feel bad.

The Founder turns around as Aiden takes a Creeper spawn egg from a chest.

Aiden: Yep. ‘Fraid I’M going to be taking the chicken. It’s mine, now.

Isa: What? This is outrageous! Aiden, don't do this...

Aiden: Somebody order eggs?

Aiden throws the egg onto the ground, spawning a Creeper.

Jesse: Creeper! Look out!

The founder pulls out two swords, but the Creeper explodes, leaving her hanging from the edge of the island. She tries to pull herself up, while Lukas fights off Aiden.

Lukas: I've got Aiden. Save the Founder!

Aiden: Oh... do you "got" me, Lukas?

[Save the Founder]
[Back Up Lukas]

Jesse runs over to the Founder and grabs her hand, before she falls.

Jesse: Gotcha!

Jesse pulls the Founder back up onto the island.

Isa: Thank you. Thank you...

Lukas: Ahh!

Aiden pushes Lukas back and he falls off the edge of the island.

Jesse: Lukas!

Aiden pushes Jesse, sending them and the Founder into the Void.

Aiden: I'll take it from here.

Jesse: I've got your back, Lukas!

Aiden: Stay down, Lukas!

Jesse: Eat THIS!

Punch Aiden
Do Nothing

Jesse punches Aiden in the face, knocking one of his teeth out.

Aiden: AUGH!

Lukas: Thanks, Jesse.

Aiden dodges Jesse's fist and punches them in the stomach, before running off.

The Founder loses her grip and falls off the edge of the island. Aiden runs over to Jesse and kicks them off the edge of the island, sending them into the Void.

Surface[]

Jesse and the Founder continue to fall through the Void of nothingness. Their screams of terror begin to fade into awkward silence.

Isa: This is all your fault! Thanks to you, we get to see what really happens when you fall off the islands.

This is your fault!
Where's Lukas?!
Sorry I didn't save you.
It doesn't matter now!
...

Jesse: Hey, you can't pin this on me! This is YOUR fault!

Isa: Are you serious?

Jesse: Yeah, I’m serious! Trusting the Blaze Rods? Hiding the Eversource? I didn’t do any of that!

(If Jesse tried to save Isa)

Jesse: Where’s Lukas? Do you see him anywhere below us? He should be down there!

Isa: (Sarcastically) Oh! Why, yes! The first thing I did after we both got kicked over the edge was look to see where your friend was.

(If Jesse backed up Lukas)

Jesse: So... sorry I didn’t try to save you up there. Guess this is kind of awkward, now, huh?

Isa: That’s certainly one word for it.

Jesse: Well... playing the blame game doesn't exactly do a lot of good, right now. What does it matter?

Isa: It matters because my entire city is doomed, thanks to you!

Isa: Nothing to say for yourself? Not even now?!

Isa: Hm. I can't decide whether I want our death to be painless, for my sake, or excruitiating, for yours!

Jesse notices a biome of grass far below them.

Jesse: Land!

Isa: Impossible. That's impossible! Jesse?

Jesse looks towards a large pool of water on the surface.

Jesse: (Points) There!

Isa: Can we get to it in time?

Jesse: It's gonna be close!

Jesse and the Founder fall into the water.

Jesse: Ha!

They swim onto nearby land.

(Saved Isa)
(Backed Up Lukas)

Lukas: Jesse! Holy crap, you're down here too?!

Jesse: Lukas! You made it!

Lukas: Yep. Only slightly worse for wear! Gotta say... Aiden's tougher than I remember.

Guess you couldn’t handle him, huh?
I'm just glad you're okay.
I'm sorry I didn't help you.
...

Jesse: Guess Aiden was a little too much for you, huh?

Lukas: I had it under control! I just... didn’t expect him to fight so dirty. I was so sure I could take him while you helped the Founder.

Jesse: I’m just so glad you’re okay. When Aiden pitched you over the side... that was awful.

Lukas: Yeah, I wasn’t a huge fan either. (In pain) Ha haaaugh. It was good of you to try and save the Founder.

Jesse: Lukas, I’m really sorry I didn’t help you up there. I only had a few seconds. Everything was happening so fast...

Lukas: No, no, don’t worry about it. Aiden was... heh, stronger than I was expecting. It was good of you to try and save the Founder.

Lukas: I was so sure I could take him while you helped the Founder.

Lukas: Uh, speaking of whom... is she okay? She's just sort of... staring.

Jesse: Er... lemme ask. Founder? Miss Founder?

Lukas: I hope she’s not in shock or something.

Isa: I... I don’t believe it.

The Founder hugs a tree, nearby.

Guess you were wrong.
Amazing, we made it!
Are you doing okay?
...

Jesse: Wow. So... guess you were wrong, huh? About there being no ground?

(Saved Isa)
(Backed Up Lukas)

Lukas: Hey, take it easy... she’s having a rough enough day as it is.

Isa: No, no. That's okay.

Isa: I had no idea. How... how could I have known?

Jesse: We made it! We’re alive! This is huge!

Isa: Yes. You’re correct. This IS huge.

Jesse: You, uh, doing okay over there?

Isa: I just... I can't believe it.

(Saved Isa)
...

Lukas: Uh... miss Founder, ma’am? You okay?

Isa: I just... I can't believe it.

Isa: This has been down here, the whole time? I forbade anyone to look for land below us. It was too dangerous, a lost cause.

This will change everything.
People will be upset.
You should've looked.
...

Jesse: Well, “land” is gonna be a pretty big game-changer for you guys. I mean, it's going to change everything!

Isa: Yes.

Jesse: Yeah, I think people will be pretty upset when they learn that this was down here the whole time.

Isa: I was too cautious. I didn't want to create false hope, and I was so certain that the only thing down here was death.

Jesse: I just don’t understand. Why did you never even look? Send someone down?

Isa: I was too cautious. I didn't want to create false hope, and I was so certain that the only thing down here was death.

Isa: How will I tell them?

(Saved Isa)
(Backed Up Lukas)

Lukas: Look at this place. Totally untouched biomes, all around us.

Isa: Yes, it's... all a little overwhelming.

Isa: It’s all just so... enormous. Just... just grass, everywhere. I can barely process what I’m seeing.

Isa: What... what do I do now?

(Saved Isa)
(Backed Up Lukas)

Lukas: Well, how about you start with a few deep breaths? Seeing all of this, after you've been crammed on a tiny island... that would be overwhelming for anybody.

Isa: Once my people see this... I... I have a lot of planning to do.

Bring everyone down here!
First, we kick Aiden's butt...
Take a minute for yourself.
...

Jesse: You can bring all of your people down here! They won’t have to... to petition for resources or any of that stuff anymore!

Isa: I... I suppose you’re right!

Jesse: Yes! We have to go back up and tell them!

Isa: Getting back up. My word, you’re right! We need to do that. I hadn’t even thought that far ahead yet.

Jesse: First things first, we’re gonna go back up there and kick Aiden’s butt.

(Saved Isa)
...

Lukas: Sounds like the start of a winning plan to me.

Isa: Getting back up. My word, you’re right! We need to do that. I hadn’t even thought that far ahead yet.

Jesse: Miss Founder, ma’am? This is pretty big. So just take a minute. Enjoy the sights. Breathe it in.

(Saved Isa)
(Backed Up Lukas)

Lukas: Yeah. Getting back up to Sky City might be a little exhausting.

Jesse: Because, heh... getting back up to Sky City is going to be a little tiring.

Isa: Getting back up. My word, you’re right! We need to do that. I hadn’t even thought that far ahead yet.

(Saved Isa)
(Backed Up Lukas)

Lukas: You... you doing okay?

Isa: Yes. I think I am finally acclimating.

Lukas: Good, because getting back up to Sky City is going to be pretty tiring.

Isa: Getting back up. My word, you’re right! We need to do that. I hadn’t even thought that far ahead yet.

Isa: I suppose... first things first, I need to get back up to my people.

Suddenly, a zombie falls from the sky and lands in front of the group. Jesse looks up and sees many more monsters falling from the sky. A falling zombie approaches Jesse from above.

Move
Do Nothing

Jesse: Look out!

Jesse pulls Isa away from the impact.

Isa: Jesse, look out!

Isa pulls Jesse away from the impact.

Isa: What's going on up there?

(Saved Isa)
...

Lukas: Oh, that’s not a good sign.

There must be monsters everywhere.
Aiden's in over his head.
Your city's in trouble.
...

Jesse: Aiden must be going crazy with those Spawn Eggs... monsters everywhere. This is going to be bad.

Jesse: Aiden’s made some big mistakes. He’s probably in completely over his head by now.

Jesse: It's definitely a bad sign. Your city’s probably in big trouble right now.

(Saved Isa)
(Backed Up Lukas)

Lukas: I'd say the Blaze Rods are brewing up some fresh nightmares for your subjects, right about now...

Isa: Oh... oh, no...

(Saved Isa)
...

Lukas: I can’t believe Aiden could be so stupid!

Isa: I can’t leave my subjects in whatever trouble they’re in. Jesse, will you please help me get back to Sky City? Stop Aiden?

(Saved Isa)
(Backed Up Lukas)

Isa: Help me protect my people?

Lukas: We DID kinda start this mess...

Isa: My poor subjects... this is terrible!

For my friends, not you.
I'll do it for your people.
Of course I'll help you.
...

Jesse: I'm doing it... but not for you. For my friends.

Isa: I- yes, yes. Of course. Thank you, Jesse.

Jesse: I’ll do it, but I’m doing it for your people. Not for you.

Isa: I- yes, yes. Of course. Thank you, Jesse.

Jesse: Of course I'll help you. You're the Founder.

Isa: Thank you, Jesse. And please, call me Isa.

Isa: I'm not accustomed to begging.

Jesse: (Thinking) Okay... getting back up... getting back up... let's see what we've got to work with...

Jesse notices a large mountain of dirt blocks, nearby.

Jesse: Hm. That'll work.

Isa: What is it?

(Saved Isa)
...

Lukas: Oh, I see what you’re getting at. Nice.

Isa: Well... would someone care to explain it to me, please?

Isa: Jesse?

We're going to tower up!
Start gathering a lot of dirt.
It's time for one big build.
...

Jesse: Get ready to build the tallest thing you ever built.

Isa: What?

Jesse: We need to start gathering dirt. As much as we can.

Isa: How will that help?

Jesse: Get ready to build something huge. Maybe the biggest thing of your life.

Isa: What do you mean?

Isa: Um, Jesse? What's the plan?

Jesse: We’re going to build a tower of dirt, all the way back up to Sky City.

Jesse runs over towards some grass, near the mountain of dirt.

Jesse: Grab as much dirt as you can carry!

Jesse and Isa strip the bottom area of dirt blocks.

Jesse: Okay, that should do it.

Isa: Jesse, what is that?

Isa points towards a portal that was buried under the blocks of dirt. It is identical to the one from the jungle temple.

Isa: What? What is it?

(Saved Isa)
...

Lukas: Just, wow... what are the odds?

The other half of my portal.
Don't worry about it.
My ticket out of here.
...

Jesse: It’s the other half of the portal that brought me here.

(Saved Isa)
...

Lukas: Man, what a relief. Once you get that flint and steel back, it should be a straight shot to home now.

Jesse: Don't worry about it.

(Saved Isa)
...

Lukas: Man, what a relief. Once you get that flint and steel back, it should be a straight shot to home now.

Jesse: Once I get my flint and steel back from the Blaze Rods, it’ll be my ticket out of here.

(Saved Isa)
...

Lukas: Ha! That’s the portal! Right there! That’s amazing!

(Saved Isa)
...

Jesse: Well, guys... ready?

Isa: Yes, I- I think so.

Lukas: I, uh... I think I actually gotta sit this one out, Jesse. Aiden got me pretty good. I’m just not sure I’m up for towering all the way back there. I’m really sorry. I probably wouldn’t be able to keep up anyway.

It's dangerous to stay alone!
Yeah, you should rest up.
Don't worry. I've got this.
...

Jesse: What? But it’s dangerous alone! Monsters, nightfall...

Lukas: I’ll get some food, put together a shelter if it gets dark. It’s not my first rodeo.

Jesse: Yeah, you don't look so good. You should rest up. Try and get some food?

Lukas: That's what I was thinking. Thanks for understanding.

Jesse: Sit back, Lukas. Jesse's on the case.

Lukas: Ha ha... I knew you could handle it.

Lukas: I'll be okay. I promise. I’ll get some food, put together a shelter if it gets dark. It’s not my first rodeo.

Jesse rests Lukas beside a tree.

Jesse: There you go, buddy.

Isa: Thank you for trying to help. It was very noble.

Lukas: Hey, what's with the "last goodbye" tone? I'll see you guys when you get back. Oh, and give Aiden another punch for me.

Jesse: Will do. (To Isa) Come on, we've got an epic climb ahead of us.

Jesse and Isa make their way over to the mountain of dirt.

Jesse: We've got a city to save. Ready?

Isa: I believe so. And when I get up there, I am going to tear those Blaze Rods limb from limb.

(Saved Isa)
...

Isa: Oh... and Jesse? I appreciate what you did up there. Trying to save me, I mean.

Jesse and Isa rapidly tower back up to the floating island, using their inventory of dirt blocks.

Sky City[]

Jesse and Isa arrive at the dirt bridge, by the entrance to Sky City. They see multiple ghasts, floating around the city and attacking the citizens.

Jesse: Oh, no. We need to get in there, now.

Jesse and Isa run into the city.

Jesse: Go go go! Don’t stop!

A ghast notices Jesse and shoots a fireball towards them.

Jesse: Look out!

Jesse rolls under the projectile and makes their way into the city.

Jesse: Whoa, that was crazy! You okay?

Isa: What have they done...?

Jesse and Isa watch as ghasts and monsters terrorise the city and its people. A guard is being attacked by a zombie.

Guard 2: Back! Back, you monsters! Augh! Help me!

Isa: He needs our help!

Jesse takes out the zombie. Isa jumps in with two swords and takes out some more zombies.

Isa: What is going on here?

Guard 2: The city is under attack by monsters, ma’am! Everywhere! They seem to be coming from inside the palace itself!

Jesse looks over towards the palace doors and sees Gill and Maya, throwing monster spawn eggs at the ground.

Jesse: Aiden. Come on, we need to stop him.

Isa: I’m sorry, Jesse, but I have to save my people.

Jesse: Take care of yourself out there, okay?

Isa: And to you as well.

Jesse runs over to the Inn. Milo and his friends hide behind a wall as two skeletons attack them with arrows.

Milo: Jesse! You’re alive! Please! Can you help us?

Jesse: Hang tight, Milo!

Jesse rushes into the skeletons and takes them out with their sword. A skeleton approaches the group from behind, riding a spider. Milo takes out the skeleton with his sword and the spider pounces onto Jesse.

Kill Spider
Do Nothing

Jesse takes out the spider with their sword.

Milo: You are very quick on your feet.

Milo takes out the spider from behind.

Milo: Lucky for you, I’m catching onto this... “monster fighting.”

Milo: But with all seriousness, how are you alive? I saw you go over the edge!

Jesse: Quick version? You know how you all thought there was nothing but Void below you?

Milo: Yes?

Jesse: Yeah, that was wrong. There's land.

Milo: You speak truthfully, my friend?

Milo looks up in fear, as a ghast passes the group from above.

Milo: Well, I can’t wait to hear all about it later!

Jesse: I gotta get to the palace.

Milo: Thank you, my friend. I will see you on the other side.

Jesse runs over to the entrance of the palace, where Gill and Maya are throwing spawn eggs.

Gill: How do you like that?! Ha! BLAZE RODS!

Maya: Boom! Egg!

Maya throws a spider spawn egg at Petra. Petra takes the spider out and turns around to see Jesse.

Petra: Jesse! You're alive?!

Jesse looks up as a ghast prepares to shoot a fireball towards them. Ivor jumps into Jesse, pushing them away from the impact. They hide behind a wall.

Ivor: Aiden has taken over the palace. He’s holed up in the throne room, throwing those spawn eggs everywhere! No one can get inside!

Jesse: We need to stop him.

Ivor: I know! Jesse, take one of these!

Ivor pulls out three potions.

Ivor: They’re all locally sourced and hand-crafted. I use only the best ingredients!

Potion of Invisibility!
Potion of Speed!
Potion of Leaping!
...

Jesse: Got any potions of invisibility?

Ivor: Here!

Jesse drinks the potion and becomes invisible.

Jesse: Can't stop what you can't see.

Jesse runs into the palace.

(Optional Interaction) Punch Maya and Gill
...

Jesse punches Maya and Gill, knocking them to the ground.

Jesse: Gimme a potion of speed.

Ivor: Here!

Jesse drinks the potion. Their perspective of time decreases and the citizens appear to be moving in slow-motion.

Jesse: Gotta go fast.

Jesse runs into the palace.

(Optional Interaction) Punch Maya and Gill
...

Jesse punches Maya and Gill, knocking them to the ground.

Jesse: Think you could hook me up with a potion of leaping?

Ivor: Here!

Jesse drinks the potion and leaps into the air.

Jesse: Yeeeah-ha ha!

Jesse lands on the roof of the palace and jumps through a hole in the ceiling.

Ivor: I think a potion of leaping will do just the trick!

Jesse drinks the potion and leaps into the air.

Jesse: Yeeeah-ha ha!

Jesse lands on the roof of the palace and jumps through a hole in the ceiling.

Jesse enters the throne room through its doors.

Aiden: Back down and get out of my face, Reggie!

Reginald: You're delusional, Aiden! The people of Sky City will NEVER bow to you! You killed the Founder!

Aiden: Yeah! Well, you're gonna be next if you don't SHUT UP!

Reginald: Now you listen here! I'm the Captain of the Guard! You can't just talk to me that way!

Aiden: I'll talk to you however I want, Reggie!

You've lost, Aiden!
Leave him alone!
This is between us!
...

Jesse: Aiden, you've lost.

Jesse: Hey, jerkwad, leave him alone!

Jesse: This is between you and me, Aiden! Leave Reginald out of it!

Aiden: I just... how are you alive?!

Aiden stares at Jesse in shock.

Aiden: I saw you fall! You went down!

Reginald: You’re alive! You’re alive! Is the Founder with you? I heard-

Aiden: Rrrgh!

Aiden throws a creeper spawn egg at Reginald.

Reginald: What the-

The creeper blows up, knocking him to the ground.

Jesse: Reginald!

Aiden: Not one more step! I killed you once... I can do it again.

You thought it'd be that easy?
It's just you and me now.
Give me the Eversource.
...

Jesse: You thought you could just kick me off the edge? Unfortunately for you, Aiden, I'm pretty tough to kill.

Jesse: Just you and me, Aiden. Just you and me now.

Jesse: Just hand over the chicken, Aiden. Hand it over before I make you hand it over.

Jesse says nothing.

Aiden: Just... DIE ALREADY!

Aiden throws a spawn egg in front of Jesse. A blaze appears.

Aiden: Should’ve just left while you had the chance!

Jesse dodges the blaze's attacks and takes it out with their sword. Aiden attacks Jesse from behind with his sword. Jesse dodges and rolls out of the way.

Aiden: This was supposed to be my world! And you ruined it!

Jesse: Listen to yourself. That's insane!

Aiden attacks Jesse with his sword.

Aiden: Why couldn't you have left well enough alone?!

Jesse knocks Aiden's sword out of his hand and kicks him back towards the throne. Aiden quickly throws another blaze spawn egg and runs outside, picking up his sword from the ground.

Jesse: Get back here!

Jesse dodges the blaze's attacks and it flies out into the rain. The water from the rain takes the blaze out. Jesse walks over to Aiden, who is waiting outside on a bridge from the edge of the island.

Aiden: You just can't stand to see someone else in the spotlight, can you? You just can't let anyone else win! It just drives you crazy to see someone else succeed, doesn't it?

Just give up, Aiden.
I'm gonna kick your butt.
It's not about winning.
...

Jesse: Aiden, look around you! It's over! Give up!

Aiden: No! You don't get to tell me that.

Jesse: Aiden, I am gonna kick your butt!

Aiden: I can't wait to see you try.

Jesse: Aiden, this isn't about who wins and who loses... it's about what's right!

Aiden: And that is why you're gonna LOSE.

Jesse says nothing.

Aiden lunges at Jesse with his sword, swinging frantically. Jesse dodges the attacks and knocks Aiden to the ground, to which he gets back up and keeps fighting. Jesse locks Aiden's sword with their own, for a brief moment, and sends it flying into the void. Unarmed, Aiden holds his hands in the air.

Aiden: Wait, wait, wait! Hang on, hang on. I... I-I-I surrender! I surrender. We can talk about this, right? Here... here! You want your flint and steel back, huh? Take it! It's yours!

Aiden drops the enchanted flint and steel onto the ground.

Aiden: Just, please. Don't hurt me.

Jesse takes the enchanted flint and steel from the ground. Reginald approaches, holding the Eversource.

Reginald: You did it. Jesse, we need to get out of here. What do you want to do with him?

Aiden: Please. This place is getting worse by the minute. You can't just leave me here! Take me with you.

Reginald: After everything you've done?! I'm not sure you deserve that kind of mercy.

Aiden: No, no, no, come on. You can't just leave me behind. If you leave me here, I'll die! I thought you were the "good guys?"

[Take Aiden]
[Walk Away]
[Send Him Over]

Jesse: Get moving. You're coming with us.

Aiden: Th- thank you. Thank you, Jesse.

Reginald: More than you deserve, frankly.

Jesse: Leave him. He made his bed, he can lie in it.

Aiden: What? No! You can't just...? How dare you!

Jesse walks away with Reginald.

Aiden: STOP IGNORING ME!!!

Aiden runs at Jesse. Jesse kicks him into a stream of water, leading off the edge of the island. He screams as he falls into the void.

Jesse grabs Aiden and kicks him into a stream of water, leading off the edge of the island.

Aiden: Oh! No!! No!!!

He screams as he falls into the void.

They exit the palace. Several people scream and cry for help as they are attacked by monsters and ghasts. Jesse looks towards a giant waterfall that has been formed in the edge of the island.

Petra: Jesse!

Jesse approaches the rest of the group. They are standing with Maya and Gill, who have their hands behind their backs.

(Took Aiden)
(Didn't Take Aiden)

Jesse keeps Aiden down to his knees.

(Saved Isa)
(Backed Up Lukas)

Ivor: And stay there!

Lukas: So much for the Blaze Rods.

(Saved Isa)
(Backed Up Lukas)

Ivor: Where's that punk, Aiden?

Lukas: Where's Aiden?

Ivor: We heard the fighting.

Not important.
We fought.
He fell.
...

Jesse: It doesn’t matter. We’ve got way bigger problems to deal with.

Jesse: He tried to fight me. He didn't win.

(Backed Up Lukas)
...

Lukas: Man. Wish I could've seen that.

Jesse: We fought and he fell down one of these waterfalls.

(Backed Up Lukas)
...

Lukas: Well... what goes around comes around, I guess.

Ivor: I see. I must admit, I'm impressed.

Isa takes out a nearby ghast with her swords and approaches the group.

Isa: You retrieved the Eversource!

Reginald: Yes, ma'am.

Milo: Everyone, stay together!

Milo leads the rebel group away from the ghasts.

Milo: Jesse! There you are!

Isa: Jesse, this situation is getting out of hand. We simply can’t stop all the monsters AND protect my people. The longer we stay here, the more danger my people will be in!

Look for an escape route.
We could jump for it...
This place is done for.
...

Jesse: We need to find an escape route.

Jesse: I guess we could jump for it...

Jeses: We need to get out of here.

Isa: We just need to find a way down to safety.

Jesse: The waterfalls! The waterfalls can take us to safety!

Citizen M1: What?! Are you crazy! The waterfalls will just take us into the Void!

Citizen M2: We'll die if we fall down there!

Rebel M1: But there’s nothing but monsters up here!

We can't stay here.
There is land below us!
You need to trust me.
...

Jesse: Do you want to die? Because that's what's going to happen if you stay up here!

Jesse: The void won't kill you! There's land down there!

Jesse: You all just need to trust me, okay?

Isa: Everyone! Everyone, please! Jesse is telling the truth!

Jesse: Everyone just watch me and follow my lead, okay?

Jesse jumps into the waterfall and swims across.

Went with Ivor
Went With Milo

Isa: Jesse is telling the truth! I saw the land as well! In fact, I will prove it to you!

Isa jumps into the waterfall and swims across.

Reginald: Ma'am, wait for me!

Reginald follows. Milo jumps in. Petra and Ivor shove the Blaze Rods into the stream and follow behind. The rest of the citizens follow Jesse.

Milo: Jesse has done nothing but help us so far! I will show you just how much I believe in Jesse's word!

Isa follows. Reginald jumps in. Petra and Ivor shove the Blaze Rods into the stream and follow behind. The rest of the citizens follow Jesse.

Surface[]

Everyone lands in the pool of water. They swim onto the surface.

Reginald: You weren't lying... there's ground everywhere!

Isa: Jesse... I cannot thank you enough. You have saved us all!

Reginald: So... what do we do now? Everything’s just so different... and scary... but exciting?

Go have some fun.
Go find some wood.
Take it slow.
...

Jesse: What do you do? You go have fun! You guys were cooped up there so long. Now, you can do whatever you want!

Jesse: Well... lemme tell ya, Reggie. The first thing you need to do is go get yourself some wood.

Reginald: How... how do I do that?

Jesse: You find a tree and then just start punching.

Jesse: Just take it slow, okay? You guys have been isolated for so long, you don’t want to get overwhelmed by all this “real world.”

Jesse says nothing.

The Blaze Rods grunt as they swim onto the surface.

(Took Aiden)
(Didn't Take Aiden)

Aiden looks up towards a guard, who is waiting for them.

Aiden: Oh.

Guard 2: Freeze, criminals! You’re not going anywhere.

(Saved Isa)
(Backed Up Lukas)

Lukas: I knew you’d stop him. Nice work.

Lukas swims onto the surface.

Lukas: Those idiots.

Petra: Heh. I wonder what happened to Aiden...?

(Saved Isa)
(Backed Up Lukas)

Lukas: Hey, guards? Check out what washed up right next to me.

Jesse looks over at Aiden, who is sitting by a tree with his hands in the air.

Aiden: Ugh...

Guard 2: Freeze, criminals! You’re not going anywhere.

Lukas: Stop right there!

Jesse looks over at Aiden, who is sitting by a tree with his hands in the air.

Lukas: You're not going anywhere, Aiden.

Multiple guards approach Aiden.

Aiden: I'm done... I'm done.

Petra: Now, this is just speculation... but I’m guessing they have some regrets. I knew they wouldn't get away.

They're in deep trouble.
They deserve this.
I feel a little bad.
...

Jesse: Oooh, I bet the Blaze Rods are in for a bad time. These Sky City people are not happy with them.

Lukas: Yeah. Hopefully they dig a deep hole, bury them in it, surround it with lava and...

Everyone stares at Lukas, in shock.

Lukas: Sorry. Got a little carried away, there.

Jesse: Heh. What goes around comes around. Am I right, guys?

Jesse: Yeah, I feel a little bad. They just got in over their heads.

Petra: Way over.

Jesse says nothing.

The guards escort the Blaze Rods and they pass Jesse's group.

(Took Aiden)
(Didn't Take Aiden)

Jesse: Aiden.

Aiden: Oh, uh... hi, Jesse. I’m... I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry to cause all that trouble. I can see where it all went wrong. I've... got some regrets, to say the least.

I hope you learned something.
You really screwed up.
Yeah. I'm sorry, too.
...

Jesse: I hope you learned a lesson, Aiden. This didn't have to happen like this.

Aiden: Don’t worry. I’m gonna keep out of trouble. The world’s all yours.

Jesse: You really screwed this one up, Aiden. Big time.

Aiden: I know, I know. Look... you don't have to worry. I'm done.

Jesse: Yeah. I’m sorry too, Aiden. It didn’t have to be that way.

Aiden: I was just so... jealous. Bitter. You had all this cool stuff going on and, and, I just wanted a piece. I wanted my time to shine, too.

Aiden: Please. I really am sorry.

Lukas: I’d say you have a lot to think about.

Aiden: Yeah. Yeah... that's for sure.

Make a new start here.
I better not see you again.
You were wrong about me.
...

Jesse: Try and make a fresh start. Okay, Aiden? Do something good for these guys.

Aiden: Yeah. That sounds like a good idea. Make myself a little house. Maybe I’ll become a writer.

Jesse: I don’t ever want to see you again.

Aiden: Yeah. Yeah... don't worry. I think I'm just going to stay here.

Jesse: You were so angry and bitter, Aiden. You were so sure that I was always trying to take things from you. But you were wrong.

Aiden: I’ll make a little house, find something constructive to do with all my pent-up anger. Y’know, like being a writer.

Aiden: I won't try to compete with you anymore.

Aiden glares at Jesse, then looks away.

Reginald: Attention! Attention!

Isa: Hello, hello? Everyone, please? This is your Founder speaking. Now that we're all safe, we need to organize. Start planning our new community.

Milo: Are you listening to yourself? That's insane! We were prisoners long enough on that island in the sky! It is time for us to run free! Build whatever we please!

Petra: Wow, those two just cannot get along.

Isa: Jesse, I cannot allow my people to be influenced by this... naive idealist!

Milo: Bah! I'm sure I do look like a "naive idealist," through the eyes of an oppressive dictator!

Reginald: Watch your tongue, mister!

Fighting won't solve anything!
Isa, relax for a minute.
Milo, she's just trying to help.
...

Jesse: Hey! Both of you! Fighting isn’t going to solve anything!

Milo: It will if I win!

Isa: Oh, of course you'd think that way.

Jesse: Just relax for a minute, okay?

Isa: “Relax”? “Relax”?! My people are more in danger than they have ever been and you want me to relax!

Jesse: Milo, come on. The Founder's trying to help.

Isa: It's true.

Milo: Help herself right back into her old throne, more like.

Jesse says nothing.

Isa: No, you don’t understand. It will be night soon, and that is when the monsters come out! If we don’t prepare, we’ll be in danger!

Milo: You're just making excuses to control our behaviour, just like before! We must trust in ourselves! Be able to learn from our mistakes! The people need to build!

Citizen M1: What do we do?

Rebel F2: Who are we supposed to listen to?

Isa: Of course the people can build, but we need a system! Some rules! Rules aren’t bad!

Rebel M3: This is all very confusing.

It's possible to do both.
Isa is right. Make a plan.
Milo is right. Be free.

Jesse: Well, I think you’re both right. You don’t want to just run around with no plan, but you can’t schedule and organize everything either. People need to be free to try new things, but you gotta be safe about it.

Milo: I suppose I still have much to learn. Thank you, Jesse.

Isa: I don't understand, yet... but I trust you. Well, Jesse... I suppose the era of Sky City is over.

Milo: We may disagree about how to run this place, but I thank you for everything you have done.

Isa: I guarantee that we will be telling stories about your visit for many, many years to come.

Milo: “The day that Sky City was liberated!”

Don't waste this chance.
Founder, try to work with Milo.
Milo, play nice with the Founder.
...

Jesse: This is a second chance at making a civilization. Don’t waste it, okay?

Isa: I don't intend to.

Milo: I give my solemn oath.

Jesse: Try and play nice with Milo, okay? I know he’s a little crazy and you don’t always get along, but he really does care about the people.

Isa: Yes, I am starting to see that. And I will do my best.

Jesse: Just try and play nice with the Founder, okay? I know you don’t always get along, but her heart’s in the right place.

Milo: A hero of few words. I can respect this.

Jesse: I know it all seems exciting right now, but you need to make a plan. Stick together as a community. That’s going to help you survive any dangers this world throws at you.

Isa: Thank you for your wise words, Jesse. This is fantastic advice to live by.

Milo: Ahhh. I am deeply saddened to hear you speak like this, Jesse. I thought we were fighting for the same thing... but I suppose not.

Isa: Well, Jesse... I suppose the era of Sky City is over. Your contributions to our world will never be forgotten. I guarantee that we will be telling stories about your visit for many, many years to come. "The day the strangers built a bridge into town."

You're welcome.
Play nice with Milo, okay?
Don't waste this chance.
...

(Said "Of course I'll help you.")
(Said Anything Else)

Jesse: You’re welcome, Isa. It’s been quite the adventure.

Jesse: (Teasing) You're welcome, mighty Founder.

Isa: My name is Isa.

Jesse: Sorry?

Isa: Isa.

Jesse: Well... you're welcome, Isa.

Jesse: Try and play nice with Milo, okay? I know he’s a little crazy and you don’t always get along, but he really does care about the people.

Isa: Yes, I am starting to see that. And I will do my best.

Jesse: This is a second chance at making a civilization. Don’t waste it, okay?

Isa: I don't intend to.

Jesse says nothing.

Isa: Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some crafting lessons I’d like to give people. Where’s Reginald...?

Jesse: Guys, Milo is right. You need to take risks. If you don't you'll just keep doing the same safe things over and over again and you'll never grow. You'll never live!

Citizen F1: But what if we die?

Jesse: I won't lie to you, you could die! But... doesn't that make it even more awesome?

Isa: No, wait, please! It's dangerous.

Milo: Well, my friend, this is truly the beginning of a new era. Your deeds will be remembered around here for a long, long time to come. Many years from now, we will still reminisce about the great things that Jesse did. “The day that Sky City was liberated!”

Play nice with the Founder, okay?
Don’t waste this chance.
You’re welcome, Milo.
...

Jesse: Just try and play nice with the Founder, okay? I know you don’t always get along, but her heart’s in the right place.

Jesse: This is a second chance at making a civilisation. Don't waste it, okay?

Milo: I give my solemn oath.

Jesse: You’re welcome, Milo.

Milo: You have taught me to find strength within myself I did not know I had.

Milo: A hero of few words. I can respect this.

Milo: Well, my friend, it looks like this is where I must bid you farewell. I have a lot of work ahead of me now and I can’t wait to start. Thank you again!

Lukas: You know something? She was a little scary at first... but she's alright.

Petra: I'm gonna miss that crazy guy. I guess we should prepare for nightfall, too. Without another portal, we’re stuck here. Been a while since I’ve had to start from square one.

Ivor: Ugh. Just when I thought my days of punching trees were behind me.

Petra: Ah... come on, Ivor. It could be fun.

Oh, I almost forgot!
You guys worry too much.
Luckily, I scouted ahead.
...

Jesse: Oh, that’s right! In the middle of all the fighting and everything, I almost forgot!

Jesse: You shouldn’t worry so much. I’ve got our way home all figured out.

Jesse: That would be the case. But luckily, you had me as your advance scout.

Jesse grins.

Petra: What?

Jesse: When I was on the ground with the Founder, before, I totally found the portal!

Ivor: And you didn’t say anything?

Petra: Yeah, I’m actually going to have to agree with Ivor on this one.

(Saved Isa)
...

Lukas: Did I not mention it either? Could've sworn I said something.

Ivor: No! You didn't!

Jesse: I guess the moment just never presented itself. Come on!

The group run towards the portal, but the Eversource gets in the way.

Jesse: Oh. Hi.

Isa: Ah! There you are. (To Jesse) So sorry about her.

Jesse: That's okay. It looks like she's having run, running around.

Isa: Yes. I think she took it pretty well when I told her she didn't need to be the Eversource anymore. (To chicken) What are we going to do with you now, huh? What are you going to do now... besides continue to be adorable, of course. But that was a given.

You guys could travel.
Build something new together.
You're not going to eat her, right?
Are you going to set her free?
...

(If Jesse didn't side with Isa)

Jesse: Now that you don't have to run everything yourself, maybe you could use the time to travel? There's a lot to see.

Isa: Yes, that’s... a rather nice notion. (To chicken) How’d you like to go explore some of those, um... very tall vertical rocks?

Jesse: We call them "mountains." Usually.

Isa: Lovely.

(If Jesse sided with Isa)

Jesse: You guys are starting from scratch again. You should build something new together!

Isa: You know, a few days ago I would have been dreading that... but now I know I don’t have to do everything by myself. That’s rather nice. And my poor feathered friend here doesn’t need to be responsible for creating all the materials.

Jesse: You’re not going to eat her, are you?

Isa: Don't be morbid, of course not!

Jesse: Are you going to set her free?

Isa: I tried to, actually, but she kept coming back. We’ve spent so long together, I suppose we sort of need each other now.

Jesse says nothing.

Isa: After so long being “The Founder” and “The Eversource,” now we can just be “Isa” and her best friend... Benedict.

Ivor: (Scoffs) That's a boy's name.

Isa: What a closed-minded attitude.

Isa takes the Eversource crown from the chicken.

Isa: Jesse? I would be honoured if you would take this... as a small token of our gratitude.

Jesse: Thank you.

Isa: Come along, Benedict.

(Didn't Side With Isa)
(Sided With Isa)

Isa: We have a lot of adventures ahead of us.

Isa: We have a civilization to rebuild.

Ivor: Well, there goes the Eversource. Off to cluck and peck at seeds for the rest of its valuable life.

Jesse glances over at a nearby drove of pigs.

Lukas: Jesse? You okay?

Petra: Jesse?

Yeah. I'm fine.
I'm glad they have each other.
I was just missing someone.
...

Jesse: Yeah. I’m fine. Come on, let’s head home.

Jesse: I was just thinking that I'm glad the Founder and Benedict have each other.

Petra: Yeah. That is nice.

Ivor: Yes, yes. Very heart-warming.

Jesse: Oh. I just saw those pigs and... y’know.

Ivor: Oh. Yes.

Petra: He would be really happy to know you’re still having adventures like this.

Ivor: Well... come along, then, Jesse.

The group make their way towards the ditch, where the portal is waiting.

Jesse: See? Just like I told you. One portal back home.

Ivor: Feh. I just can’t wait to put this whole world behind us...

Petra: Oh, is someone being grumpy?

Ivor: No! A little. I was just hoping for a real treasure, is all. Livestock's no proper treasure. Although, I wonder what would happen if you put that tiny crown on a different chicken...

Jesse: Come on, guys. Let's go home.

Jesse pulls out the enchanted flint and steel and activates the portal. The group enter the portal together.

Jesse: Wait 'til Axel and Olivia hear where we’ve been. They’ll never believe...

???[]

Jesse: It.

Jesse stares in shock, as they enter a completely unrecognised world.

Jesse: That's... not what I was expecting.

The group find themselves walking through an endless hallway of portals.
