[narrator] Heroes can come
from unlikely beginnings...

and broken friendships
can lead to dark rivalries.

When the world is in danger,
fate calls on the ordinary

to do extraordinary deeds.

But the question remains:
will it be enough to save the world?

[mine cart rumbling]

This is so cool!

The amount of engineering
it must have taken to do this?

Automated train tracks
running all through the Nether?

Connecting all the different
Order members?

This is impressive!

Thanks to these rails,
we'll be there in no time.

If we don't get the Order back together,
the Wither Storm is gonna eat everything.

We're gonna get Ellegaard's,
get her to help us,

and we're gonna save the world.

I hope you're right.

We definitely stand a better chance
with Ellegaard's help.

-Uh... Jesse!
-[gasps]

-[Ghast shrieks]
-[screaming]

Ow, ow, ow, ow!

[Jesse] The mine carts!

Great! More Ghasts!

[Ghast shrieks]

[Olivia] Do something about the Ghast!

Okay, think fast, Jesse.
What to choose?

-[shouts]
-[shrieks]

[grunts]

[shrieks]

Okay, we're all set to go again.

Time to move, buddy! Let's go!

[Olivia]
Hitting the powered tracks... now!

I never doubted you for a second, but...
but that was incredible!

Maybe we have a chance
of getting to Ellegaard after all.

Look! There's the sign. "Redstonia"!

Redstonia, here we come!

You're about to meet the greatest
redstone builders in the world.

Wow! Who would have thought that someday
I'd really get to visit Redstonia,

Ellegaard's capital city of engineering?

Incredible!

Do you think Ellegaard will be willing,
you know, to help us?

[theme music playing]

Have you seen all these inventions?
These inventors are all incredible.

I might know redstone where we come from,
but these people are the real deal, Jesse.

[cow moos]

I mean, I don't even know
how they're making some of these things.

That's rare for me.

Even if you're intimidated,
maybe you could talk to them.

They could teach you cool stuff
about what they know.

Yeah, maybe.

[Ellegaard] Builders of Redstonia!

-I want you to know...
-Jesse, there she is.

...how much I value and adore
each and every one of you.

Your hard work inspires me every day!

I am about to enter
my Dome of Concentration,

where I will be unreachable
for the foreseeable future,

but I will emerge when I complete
my latest and greatest creation,

-the command block!
-[crowd cheering]

So, please, continue working,
continue building.

And whichever person most impresses me,
they shall be my protégé...

[crowd] Ooh!

...ready to help usher in a new era
of innovation and creativity!

Calvin, throw the switch!

[rumbling]

Jesse, we need to get there
before she totally locks herself in!

[thudding]

So, Ellegaard's trying to make
a command block in there?

I don't know, Jesse.
That sounds pretty risky.

You saw what happened when Ivor
tried to control a command block.

Excuse me, Mr. Calvin, was it?

We need to speak to Ellegaard.
It's urgent.

Oh, I'm afraid that's quite impossible.
Did you hear the speech?

She's on lockdown until she completes
her next great invention.

I have a message from Gabriel, okay?

Ellegaard's old friend?

I'm afraid I have many more things
to attend to

than answering all of your questions.

I must go.

Better just take this repeater
and disable the stair controls.

We don't want any troublemakers
disturbing Ellegaard.

Guess we'll need to get another repeater.

We need three stone, two redstone torches
and one pile of redstone dust to make one.

Right.

You must be here to see
my incredible auto farmer.

Why waste time planting sugarcane
when it could be planting itself?

You got a repeater?

Sorry, already used all mine.
I got some redstone torches, though.

Here, take these as a token
of my gratitude.

That's some primo crafting material
right there.

Awesome! Thanks!

[objects clattering]

Oh, man, stone! Jackpot!

Ah!

Hi there!

I like you, sport.

Here, have some redstone dust.

Dust from a strange man. Cool.

Okay, I can do this.

Redstone repeater, redstone repeater,
redstone repeater...

[thumping]

Done!

Pretty nice, if I may compliment myself.

Okay, that's a step
in the right direction.

Bam! Door opened!

Switch is on! Okay, good, good.

Wow! Here it is!
Ellegaard's redstone laboratory.

Seems more like an entrance
or a foyer or something.

-[squealing]
-Don't worry, pal, we'll find her.

I just hope she can actually help us.

That might be the most redstone stuff
I've ever seen in my life.

[Olivia] You can say that again.

She's moving a lot
of different ingredients around here.

[Olivia] Man, look at all this, huh?

Whatever she's working on,
if it requires all of these ingredients,

it must be something really, really big.

Now, I don't want to alarm you, Olivia,

but I have no idea
what I'm looking at here.

I don't know what it is yet either.
That's why I'm studying it.

[Jesse] Come on, let's keep moving.

Seems like this place
has really blown you away.

You're not kidding.

This is like everything
I've ever dreamed of.

[whooshing]

This is just like I dreamt it.

Entering Ellegaard's laboratory,
seeing her right there.

She'll ask me to be her apprentice,

and next thing you know,
we'll be changing the world together.

Let's just try to save the world first.

Whoa! Hi! Hey! [chuckles]
Didn't see you sneaking up on me.

-Guess that's the point.
-[Reuben squeals]

Don't touch anything in here, okay?
It's all supremely fragile and genius.

Did Calvin send you?
Are you my new assistants?

New assistants with
a stupidly adorable pig, that is!

[chuckles]

Jesse, she thinks
we're her new assistants.

This is so exciting.

-Ellegaard--
-No time for specifics, I'm afraid.

Hey, you, Goggle Girl.

Switch on that T-flop circuit
to activate the delivery chutes.

And, you, grab me a blaze rod
and an iron block.

She wants me to do something for her.

What if I screw it up? What if I--
Oh, I feel lightheaded.

[thuds]

-[squealing]
-Wow!

Now I need an assistant
to help with my assistant.

Think you can handle it on your own?

Olivia? Olivia, can you hear me?

I don't think
that I've ever fainted before.

[groans] So embarrassing.

Everything working over-- Oh.

Hmm.

Fine. I'll just do it myself, then.

[whirring]

Come on, come on, come on!

Big winner, big winner, big...

loser!

Ugh!

Trial number 6,451, another bust.

-Now, about you three.
-[squeals]

Your friend here,
does she fall over frequently?

Is this gonna be a regular occurrence?

I-- No. I'm sorry.
I was just so excited to--

And with me always pacing around,
lost in my own brilliant thoughts,

I could have tripped over you
and conked my brain.

Brilliant thoughts... gone! [chuckles]

I could see that.

That seems a little unfair
to blame Olivia.

It's not her fault
that she was so excited.

How in the world did she get this
assistant position in the first place?

Well, that's the thing.

We're actually here to get your help.

There's a giant Wither Storm
and it's attacking the entire world.

A Wither what? What are you talking about?
Who-- Who sent you?

Gabriel sent me.

Look, you both seem like very pleasant
people who are prone to fainting,

but I simply don't have
the brain power for this.

I'm in the middle
of my greatest project to date,

a powerful block
capable of altering reality itself!

I've seen one of those before.
It's a command block.

Wait, wait, wait. Wait. How do you know
what a command block is?

We've seen one up close before.
It was Ivor's.

He's done something terrible with it.

The world needs the Order of the Stone.
That's why we're here.

Ugh, sorry to bust your circuits,

but the Order
isn't really together anymore.

We, uh, sort of disassembled.

That's actually kind of why we're here.

Gabriel's amulet.

Yes, he gave it to me
so that I could find the Order.

Your Wither Storm problem
was created by a command block, yes?

That means a command block
could be the perfect way of beating it.

-And maybe--
-Will you help me make one?

It's going to work this time.
I can feel it!

Right here... in my brain.

I could help, too.

You're the genius, Ellegaard.
Let's get started.

Fantastic!

-[grunts]
-[stones clatter]

[Reuben grunts]

[whirring]

Okay! Okay! Excellent! Good!

This is so exciting. Terribly exciting!

-[Olivia] Has it gotten this far before?
-No! Never!

[rumbling]

Is it destabilizing?

[Wither Storm snarls]

-[Olivia] Oh!
-[Jesse] No!

-[rumbling]
-[Reuben squealing]

Ellegaard, come on!

We need to go!
We need to get to the portal!

[shouts]

-[yelling]
-[squealing]

[grunts]

[Ellegaard] Over here!

[Jesse grunts]

This way!

[grunts]

-[Jesse gasps]
-[Ellegaard] Jesse!

[Reuben squealing]

[shouts]

[grunts]

[Reuben squeals]

[Jesse grunts]

Okay, just a little farther!

Well, that's certainly impressive.

Wow.

[Reuben and Jesse grunt]

-[hissing]
-Ah!

Whoa!

[Lukas] Who goes there?

Oh, Jesse? Is that you?

Lukas, did you build all of this?

Well, yeah. I figured I would try
and fortify the place, you know?

[Jesse chuckles] Nice!

Quick, come on!

You guys are never gonna believe
who showed up while you were gone.

Petra!

Hey, guys. How's it going?

[squealing]

[Olivia] I'm so glad you're okay, Petra.

[Petra] Yeah.
I'm pretty stoked about it myself.

And it's really good to see you, Jesse.

Back there in Gabriel's bunker...

it got pretty dicey.

It's such a relief to see you.
I'm glad you're okay.

You pulled me out
of that Wither Storm's clutches,

and I ran and ran and ran for the temple.

If you hadn't saved me...

Well, I owe you everything, Jesse.

Wow. Did Gabriel get away, too?
Did you see?

It's all a blur, but the Wither Storm
left almost nothing behind.

Everything, everyone was just gone.

It even got Gabriel.

I wouldn't believe
that anything could defeat Gabriel

if I hadn't seen it for myself.

This is terrible.

Boy, can't remember the last time
I saw this place.

Would someone care to explain
what he is doing here?

Call this a hunch,
but do you two not like each other?

Right. I forgot to mention.

Axel went on a little...

adventure of his own while you were gone.

An adventure to get him?

Did you know about this?

Just wait here a second
while I figure out what's going on.

Much appreciated.

So, who are you, then?

And why'd you bring
the Queen of the Nerds with you?

That's Jesse, my best friend.

Trust me, Jesse's totally cool.

I'll... [laughs]

I'll be the judge of that, huh?

Yeah, and you two are going to have
to get along, okay?

We didn't even know
you were gonna be here.

That makes two of us, then.
But reversed for me.

I got tired of waiting around,
so I decided to go recruit Magnus myself.

It was kind of a crazy adventure,
but it all worked out in the end.

And now, I'm the King of Boomtown!

Boomtown?

That's the name of Magnus's kingdom.

I had to beat him
in a crazy tournament and--

Long story. You had to be there.

Short version:
epic battle of explosions and mayhem,

death-defying-action shenanigans
and pyrotechnics.

Badabing, badaboom!

Your friend here is kind of supreme ruler
of my kingdom now.

You know what I mean.

Well, this is unexpected.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean,

but I'm definitely sure
that I don't like it.

Yeah! Show him some respect.

Oh, you're sticking up for Magnus.
That's very... sweet.

Yeah, he's sticking up for me.

It's because I'm really awesome
and super cool.

I'll never understand your fans.

Axel, not your fight. Stay out of it.

-But--
-Your friend has a point.

I can fight my own battles.

Uh, people, can we please focus
on the bigger picture?

We have a very hungry Wither Storm

in the process of turning
the whole world into its dinner.

It was terrifying.

It came out of nowhere
and just destroyed... everything.

A little too scary for you, Ellie?
Couldn't just think it away?

You weren't there, Magnus.

I'm telling you, this thing was like
nothing I've ever seen.

Why? Because it's never come inside
one of your little workshops?

Would you two stop fighting?!

-Whoa!
-Yikes.

Jesse's right. We need to find some way
to stop that thing.

I don't know if you've had the chance
to poke around this old dump yet,

but it's pretty much stripped bare.

It would take a mountain of TNT
to k*ll that thing.

I hate to say it, but you have a point.

Can we start crafting some, then?

I don't think we got that kind of time.

If only Soren were here,
he might have something we could use.

Oh, Ellie, not this again.

There's something stronger than TNT?

Soren had a kind of super TNT,

stronger and more expl*sive
than anything else in the world.

The formidi-b*mb.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I've heard all about the F-b*mb before.

Well, the formidi-b*mb sounds perfect.
We should go get it now!

Well, there's a little problem there.

We don't know where Soren is.

But you found us.
Do you know where he is?

[Ellegaard] Our map could locate him.

Unless he's in the Nether or the End.

But it's worth a shot.

I bet we can find him.

I'm very curious to see it.
I've never actually seen it work before.

All right, there's your light, my light...

That's new.

There he is.

Soren had his fortress
deep inside the mountains.

After the Order broke up,

that's where he went
to keep doing his experiments.

Look, he invited me there a couple times,
but it always seemed a little--

Weird, right?
It always seemed a little weird.

Then let's stop hanging around here
and go get us some super TNT!

Whoa!

Blue? Blue?

That's Ivor!

Ivor is going to Soren's.
We need to move!

It's not too far.
We could probably make it on foot.

Righteous!

We'll get some rest and head out
first thing in the morning,

[mockingly] ...avoiding all the nighttime
and monsters and everything.

If you had seen that monster,
you wouldn't be saying that.

We need to leave now.

I don't want the Wither Storm
catching up with us. We should go now.

Okay, everyone, let's get moving.

Yo! We haven't really gotten
the chance to chat yet.

Oh, hello.

I heard you saved your friend back there
from this Wither Storm thing.

You're pretty tough, huh?

I'm just doing my best
to keep everyone safe.

Humility. Nice. I can dig it.

What's the deal with your buddy Axel?

Can't tell if he's awesome
or a little bit of a dork.

He's just a little, uh, doofy, you know?

He's like a little puppy.

You don't know whether you want to hug it
or just walk away.

You know what I'm talking about?

Axel's one of my best friends.

He makes me laugh
and he always sticks up for his friends.

Interesting. Very interesting.

Then why didn't you listen to his plan
to come get me?

I figured that we needed brains
to fight the Wither Storm.

And brains means Ellegaard.

Yeah. I've definitely heard that a lot.

[laughs] I'll try not to let it
hurt my feelings too much.

Well, just keep on your toes.

[Wither Storm growling]

Uh, guys?

[growling]

-I told you it was gonna catch up with us!
-Oh, my.

You really weren't kidding.

No, not again.

We can hash all that out later!
Come on, we gotta get out of here!

Not again. Not again.

Soren's isn't much farther!
We can make it!

[panting]

I am getting very tired
of this Wither Storm.

Agreed!

Soren's place has gotta be just ahead!
Come on!

[squealing]

Soren really lived down here?

It's so far from... anyone.

-Enchanting, isn't it?
-[coughing]

[Lukas] Yeah, and I'm really not feeling
those columns.

Aw, come on! It's fine! Look!

Whoo!

[snorting]

[Olivia and Lukas grunt]

-[squealing]
-Just don't fall, okay?

[grunts]

Oh, that is deep.
That is very, very deep.

[grunts]

-Ah!
-[squealing]

Hang on! I'm coming!

-[squealing]
-[shouting]

[grunts]

[Enderman grunting]

[Jesse] Oh, man. We've got Endermen.

[Reuben squealing]

[Lukas] Ah!

It was, uh... [chuckles] more of a drop
than I was expecting.

[Enderman grunting]

-[Lukas] Endermen.
-[Jesse] There are so many.

I didn't think they ever came
in groups that big.

No kidding.

It's like an Enderman party.

I heard your voice and thought
I would come down to help. [chuckles]

Thanks for coming back, Lukas.
I mean that.

[Reuben squealing]

[Jesse and Lukas shouting]

-[Endermen shrieking]
-Ah!

[Jesse grunts]

[screaming]

[gasps]

[panting]

[yelling]

Reuben, jump!

[squeals]

[yelling]

[Magnus] Oh, be quiet!
It's just a pointless building.

That's all I'm saying. I mean, look at--

[Ellegaard] Magnus, if an artist painted
the inside of your mind,

he'd end up with the most extraordinary
desertscape paintings.

That's it! I'm going.

Once again, it falls to me
to take care of everything.

I'll find this super TNT myself!

[Magnus] Oh, no, no, no!

You do not get to be
the one who walks away.

That's it! I'm going.

See? I'm walking away, too, now.
Super TNT, here I come!

It's hard to pick "glass half full"
when they keep kicking the glass over.

Bickering is kind of their deal.

But hopefully they'll work things out
and get on with the important stuff.

What are we gonna do now?
Where should we go?

Let's figure it out.

Petra, are you okay?

I'm sorry.

I don't mean to worry you.

I've just got something
I wanna discuss with you in private.

Let's split up.

I feel bad about ditching everyone else,

but I just wanted to talk to you
about this alone.

Hey, whatever it is, I trust you.
You can tell me.

Thanks for being so understanding.

You got me away from the Wither Storm...

but I'm worried
that I didn't get away soon enough.

What?

What is that?
What's wrong with your arm?

Do you know what Wither is?

The Wither? Of course.
We've been--

No, Jesse. Just Wither,
or Wither sickness, I guess.

And I feel like
it's just gonna keep getting worse.

Well, we're gonna go back
and tell the others. We can get help.

You can't tell anyone about this.

[Jesse gasps]

[hissing]

Ah! Creeper!

Ah!

Grab my hand! I'll pull you up!

-[grunting]
-[yells, groans]

Jesse! I just couldn't...

I'm sorry.

Jesse?

Are you okay?

[Reuben whimpers]

Don't worry, I'm fine!

Okay, I got this.

Stay safe.
I'll find a way down to you.

[squealing]

[amulet chiming]

Hey, show yourself! Who's there?

[gasps]

You!

Trying to interfere
with my plans again, I see.

What are you doing down here?

Being rudely interrupted by you, clearly.

I'm here with the Order
to find Soren's super TNT.

We're gonna take down your Wither Storm.

The Order? [laughs]

Believe me, that plan will blow up
in their faces in more ways than one.

They cannot help you.

But me?
I choose not to.

Sorry, Ivor, I'm--

Oh, you're not going anywhere.

Hmm, Petra? You escaped?

[chuckles]

Ha! [grunts]

Foolish girl! I--

Shut up!
I don't care what you have to say.

I'm just gonna take you down.
[grunting]

[both grunting]

-I'm not letting him leave either.
-Good.

[groans]

I'm the only one
who can stop the Wither Storm.

Not you! Not the Order!

Don't make yourselves the villains
in my story.

Ya!

-You're not going anywhere, creep.
-[shouts]

This could have all been avoided.

If you wanna stop me,
you'll have to catch me first.

Jesse, look out!

You're not getting out of here
that easy, Ivor.

[laughing] I'm like the wind!

-[grunts]
-[shouts]

Out of my way!

I'll cut through you if I have to!

[shouts]

Don't tempt your fate.

[Ivor shouts]

[panting]

It didn't have to go this way, Jesse.
You could have just let me go. [laughs]

Now you see me, now you...

[Ivor laughs]

He could be anywhere.
Stay on your guard!

Vanish all you want, slime ball.
You're still not going anywhere.

[Ivor laughs]

-Ah!
-[Ivor laughs]

[grunts]

End of the rail, Ivor.
We're not letting you get away with this.

[Ivor] This one's on you,
you puffed-up fool.

[grunts]

[groaning] There's no time for this.

[panting]

-Jesse! Petra!
-[Ivor] Even more of you?

Will this parade
of useless babblers never cease?

-What's going on?
-We found Ivor.

-We stopped him.
-Jesse did, anyway.

False.
You have stopped nothing.

A query.

Have you ever seen the effects
of a Splash Potion of Slowness?

What...

[in slo-mo] are you talking about?

You big jerk!

[Petra] Get back here!

Magnus and Ellegaard may think
they can stop me,

that they can destroy the Wither Storm,

but they are mistaken.

And it will cost them their lives.

[mine cart rumbling]

[Axel yells]

Whoo-hoo!

Aw, come on, Jesse.
You're not even having a little fun?

I mean, I am!

Just don't lose track
of why we're here, okay?

If we don't get the Order back together,
the Wither Storm is gonna eat everything.

That means we need to get to Magnus
as soon as freaking possible.

You know what?
You're right.

We're gonna find Magnus,
bring him back,

and he'll totally know
how to blow that thing sky-high!

Uh, dude!

-[squeals]
-[gasps]

-[shrieks]
-[both shouting]

Ow, ow, ow, ow!

[Jesse] The mine carts!

Why does it hate us so much?

[Ghast shrieks]

[Axel] Hurry!
Use something on that Ghast.

Okay, think fast, Jesse.
What to choose?

[shrieks]

Yah!

[shrieks]

[grunts]

[shrieks]

[grunts]

Time to move, buddy! Let's go!

[squeals]

You were awesome, Jesse!

With that Ghast and chasing the mine cart?

That is, like, the perfect warm-up
for when we get to Boomtown.

Boomtown?

[Axel] Yeah, Boomtown!

This is it!

[squealing]

I, uh...

I think I'm gonna hold off on the whole
"going first" thing for a while, Jesse.

How about you take this one?

[theme music playing]

[both screaming]

Just be careful, okay?
One wrong step...

-[squeals]
-[Axel and Jesse shout]

[panting, shouts]

-[shouting]
-[Jesse gasps]

[Jesse gasps]

[clucking]

-[panting]
-Whoa!

You see that? Utter chaos, man!

[squeals]

[griefer] Your loot is mine, brigand!
[laughs]

[Nohr laughs]
You'll have to catch me first, anvil foot!

-[expl*si*n]
-Whoa! Um... I hope they're okay.

And if they're not, at least they died
doing what they loved.

Well, here you have it, Jesse.

Boomtown in all its glory!

What do you think?

Wow, Boomtown sure does keep you
on your toes.

Exciting stuff, huh?

Yeah! Yeah!
Now you're getting it!

Dude, it's freaking glowing!

Dude, I think you're onto something there.

This glow,
I think I know what it means.

And look, it glows brighter
when I move it in certain directions.

Easy does it. Easy.

Maybe to the left. No, the right.

I mean your left.

Right, I mean.

You're right. About left.

-Axel, you're stressing me out with that.
-[amulet chiming]

-[Axel] Whoa!
-[Jesse] Whoa!

Ding, ding, ding!

Looks like that spire
is where we'll find Magnus.

Hey there, new people.

You, uh...
You said you know where Magnus is?

Just leave us alone, okay?
It's none of your business.

Hmm. I'm afraid to say that you're
just making me wonder even more

what the heck is up with that thing.

[griefer] What's going on?

Nohr found some noobs
with a thingy that can find Magnus.

-Jesse?
-[squeals]

How about you help us, huh?
I promise it's to help save the world--

Yeah, sounds complicated.

I'd prefer you just handing over
the thingy.

-[Jesse gasps]
-[Axel] Get back here with that!

I am Nohr, and I shall use this amulet
to find Magnus and become the new--

No!

[griefers laughing]

Bunch of noobs!

Hey, are they going the same way?

They're working together.

This is just how we do it in Boomtown!

Which one took the amulet?

The thief is mine.

-You take the one with the fishing pole.
-[Axel] Got it!

[Nohr] Sorry, guys, but I've been trying
to find Magnus for way too long

for you to stop me now!

No! [grunts]

Later, dingus!

Only one way out of a pit.

-Axel!
-Jesse, there you are.

So I totally cornered that fisher dude,
and they were all scared and stuff--

Where is the amulet?

Stop right there!

How about no? [chuckling]

Ah! These bricks will take forever
to punch through.

Luckily, I think I found us
a punch-free entrance.

[Jesse grunts]

[panting]

Okay, little amulet, show me the way.

Of course, not sure what I'll do
when I get there,

but that's Future Nohr's problem.

I bet Future Nohr is very successful.

[shouts]

[Jesse grunting]

Give it back!
This is more important than you know!

[Jesse grunts]

[hissing]

-Uh-oh!
-Not again!

Ow! [grunts]

Ha! Nice!
What did I tell you about teamwork?

[Nohr] What? I'm the one who said
we should work together.

-No, you didn't! Give me that!
-Give it back!

-Got it! I actually got it!
-[Nohr] Quick, flush them out!

-[gasps]
-[fuse hissing]

[expl*si*n]

-[clamoring]
-[Jesse gasps]

Axel, Magnus is somewhere
in that building above us!

He's gotta be close!

Then quick, toss me the amulet!

You're surrounded by griefers
and they're gonna tear you apart!

Well?

Jesse, we need to move now!

Just don't lose it this time, okay?

Hey, don't worry about me. I got this.

You just keep them distracted.

-[griefer 1] At the top!
-[griefer 2] Yeah, that's where I saw 'em!

I love a good table-turning.
Excellent!

[griefer] Oh, no, you don't!
Get back here!

I don't need it!

Well, hello, opportunity.

[griefers scream]

Jesse! You made it.

[Jesse] You don't need
to sound so surprised.

-Do you have the amulet?
-Of course!

Me and the pig, we totally rocked it!

Good boy, Reuben.
Magnus, here we come.

-[Jesse and Axel scream]
-[squeals]

[both screaming, grunt]

[squeals]

[Magnus] You are completely surrounded
by hundreds of hidden death traps.

One step closer... and kaboom!

[Axel] It's Magnus!

We totally got caught by Magnus.

[sighs] I think we're gonna die now.

Did you really think
you could sneak up on me? Ha!

You're two of the worst griefers
I've ever met.

And a pig? Really?

-Hardly stealthy.
-[squeals]

Oh, yeah? Well, "Oink, oink, oink"
to you, pork chop!

We're here to ask for your help.

Uh-huh, uh-huh, sure.

So, you're not a couple of griefers
here to catch me unawares?

Because... [laughs] let me tell you...

I mean, that guy?
He's got "griefer" written all over him.

Yeah, well, that's because
he's your biggest fan!

Look at him!

I mean, not, like, biggest fan.

Right. So, tell me something,
"not griefers."

-How'd you find me?
-Gabriel sent us on this mission.

Gabriel? [laughs]

You're seriously telling me
you're buddy-buddy with Gabriel?

You know how often people try
and tell me that one?

This is all sounding pretty weird, dudes.

[both shout]

Who are you, really? Why are you here?

The world is being destroyed.

You have me intrigued.

Go on.

There's a huge monster
eating up the entire world,

and nothing can stop it.

That's why Gabriel told us
to reunite the Order.

Magnus, you've gotta come with us.
You might be the only chance we have!

Give me one reason why,
for even a second, I should come with you.

You're supposed to be a hero, Magnus.
And right now, the world needs a hero.

You can come with us
and help stop this disaster.

All this stuff you've told me...

you expect me
to just take your word for it?

Two strangers with wild stories...

and nothing to show for it.

Except an amulet that's not theirs.

Magnus, every word
of what I'm saying is true.

You have to believe me.

Okay, okay, you sold me. I'm in.

-[explosions]
-[Reuben squealing]

Oh, but we might have a little bit
of a problem getting out of here.

[chuckles]

Huh? You're Magnus.

You can just walk out of here.

Hello? I don't know if you've looked
around this place,

but, uh, it's kind of full of griefers.

But that's kind of awesome, right?

No.

You've heard about the whole "challenging
the king for his crown" thing, right?

It's, like, their thing.

So long as I'm king,
I can't leave this tower.

But you're Magnus. No one can beat you.

And that's the problem.

Simply put, that's life
as King of Boomtown. [laughs]

Just choose a new king
and then come with us.

Look, I've beaten them dozens of times,

and none are worthy.

They'll see right through it.

But you, hah, you're the newcomer
with the gold amulet.

By now, there'll probably be all sorts
of rumors about how awesome you are.

If you beat me,
then I'll be able to leave.

Can't believe I didn't think of it before!

They're gonna call this
"the fight of the century"!

How would I ever beat you?

[laughs] I know, right?

But that's just it, you won't have to.

[chuckles] Oh, this is gonna be good.

I'm actually excited about this.

But we gotta make sure it looks legit.

The Death Bowl has never seen
the carnage that we're about to create.

Uh, what's the Death Bowl?

This is the Death Bowl!

I love mayhem!

Peekaboom!

Welcome, ladies and gentlegriefers,
to the Death Bowl!

In one corner, we have Magnus,
your King of Boomtown,

prepared to defend his title and crown.

[Magnus] So, Tiny...

welcome to the Death Bowl,
the grief-off to end all grief-offs.

How do you wanna fake this?

We'll start off small,
then I'll throw some TNT at you.

Just let it graze you, and then
we'll call it a finish, all right?

Okay, something about TNT. Awesome!

And, you, what name do you go by?

They call me "the Amulet Holder!"

You heard the name, folks.

Give a big Death Bowl welcome

to the Amulet Holder!

Then let's begin!

Opponents will craft
their own griefing towers,

which they will then use
to grief each other.

-The only rule is--
-[griefer] That there are no rules!

[announcer] No eye poking.

Other than that, go crazy! Seriously.

[griefer] Oh!

[announcer] Amulet Holder,
pick your building material.

And, Magnus, you--

Nah, I'm good. Brought my own supply.

-Let the griefing begin!
-[crowd cheering]

Some stone.

-Some... hmm... pink wool?
-[squeals]

Stone it is.

Hmm. Not bad, not bad.
Guess it'll have to do.

Axel, what are you doing over there
on his side?

Yeah, thought you might bring that up.

It's just that Reuben wanted
to take your corner,

and I didn't wanna crowd him or anything,

so I thought I'd, um, watch
from over here.

[Magnus] Take your best shot!

And that's how you shouldn't throw an egg!

Ha! You grief with me?
You grief with the best! [grunts]

So, Amulet Holder,
taking an amulet isn't enough.

You need to take my crown as well?

I do not discriminate
in my accessory-taking.

Your crown shall be mine.

[clucking]

You are but a student.

Prepare yourself,

for I am here
to give you your final lesson!

Ha!

[grunting]

Er, um, that was just a warning!

[griefer] What?
A warning that you need glasses?

It seems the student
has become the master,

and the Amulet Holder will win the day!

[griefer] Don't know what that means,
but I love it

and want to put it on a T-shirt!

Ah!

But what happened to getting hit
by my TNT?

Nobody messes with the Boom Master!

Uh-oh!

Jesse! Jesse, you okay?

Had enough yet?

All righty! I think noob time is over.

We've had some nice laughs,
but now they must come to a close...

and you should run home.

And what part of throwing the fight
was that?

What say you, noob?

I am king, and those who challenge me
will be annihilated!

Jesse, I think he just lost it.

Magnus, craft a cannon!

Yeah, finish him with a cannon!

If it's a cannon you want,

it's a cannon you'll get!

Yep, he's completely lost it.
Dude's going for the k*ll.

Jesse, you'd better craft the--
I don't know, greatest thing of your life.

Like, right now!

Well, there's still some material
in the chest.

[Axel] That's it, Jesse. Go!

Hey, Axel, check it out.
That should hold him.

Yeah. It's... yeah.
Um, yeah, it might do.

But, Jesse, look.

[evil laugh]

But you were supposed to throw the fight.

[laughing maniacally]

-[grunts]
-[explosions]

-[Axel] Jesse, look out!
-[gasps]

[laughing]

[squealing]

[grunts]

Get off! No pigs allowed!

Stuff! I got cool stuff coming your way!

I got you an arrow for your bow!
I think it's enchanted.

A bow? In a cannon fight?

Axel, there are all sorts of clichéd lines
about this!

Yeah, but the TNT, inside the cannon!

TNT plus arrow...

Oh, yeah.

-Time to see how well you fly, pig!
-Reuben!

Boom!

[squealing]

I gotcha, I gotcha.

Man, you smell delicious right now.

-Hey, Magnus!
-Yeah, short stuff?

Flying pig jokes are totally played out.

[laughing]

[shouts]

[explosions]

-[screaming]
-[snorts]

[all gasping]

[Magnus] No! [grunts]

Ah! [grunts]

We have a winner!

-The Amulet Holder!
-[crowd cheering]

You gonna say something there, champ?

It's just the winner sometimes,
I don't know, gives a speech.

Pontificates.

Orates. Say something.

Who likes explosions?

That's right! Yeah, you do!

And that's why I'm standing up here today!

Well, you guys ready, then?

[laughs] Oh! Yeah, this'll be a way easier
target than Magnus.

Wait. What's going on?

Oh, well, that's not good.

Is that your Wither Storm?

[snarling]

How are we--? What are we--?
That's-- [shouts]

[screaming]

Oh, no. Oh, no.

No! Oh, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no!

Magnus, come on!

-You'll regret messing with Boomtown!
-Go!

Okay, just a little farther!

Wow! Someone really went bonkers
with the defenses, huh? [laughs]

[all grunt]

-[hissing]
-[shouts]

Whoa!

[Lukas] Who goes there?

Oh, Jesse? Is that you?

Lukas, did you build all of this?

Well, yeah. I figured I would try
and fortify the place, you know?

[Jesse chuckles] Nice!

Quick, come on!

You guys are never gonna believe
who showed up while you were gone.

Petra!

Hey, guys. How's it going?

[squealing]

[Axel] Petra! You made it!

It's good to see you, too, big guy.

And it's really good to see you, Jesse.

Back there in Gabriel's bunker...

it got pretty dicey.

It's such a relief to see you.
I'm glad you're okay.

You pulled me out
of that Wither Storm's clutches,

and I ran and ran and ran for the temple.

If you hadn't saved me...

Well, I owe you everything, Jesse.

Wow. Did Gabriel get away, too?
Did you see?

It's all a blur, but the Wither Storm left
almost nothing behind.

Everything, everyone was just gone.

It even got Gabriel.

Wow! Been a while since I've been here.
Whoa!

What is she doing here?

Call this a hunch,
but do you two not like each other?

Right. Um, I forgot to mention,

Olivia went on a little expedition
of her own while you were gone.

And this "Olivia" person
came back with her?

Did you know about this?

Jesse! Jesse! Look!

I found Ellegaard!

Just hang on a sec, okay?
I'll go figure out what's going on.

Good. You do that.

Easy now, Olivia.
Let's try and play it cool, hmm?

So, who are you, now?
And why did you bring him with you?

Yeah, and you two are going
to have to get along, okay?

We didn't even know
you were gonna be here.

If he's nice, I'll be nice, too.

It was kind of crazy, actually.

I went to Redstonia

and there were all these incredible
engineers and inventors.

It was a little intimidating, actually,
but Ellegaard's made me her protégé.

Well, assistant for now.

She might have, well,
embarrassed herself a tiny bit.

Yeah. But after I pled my case,
she agreed to take me on as her assistant

and come back to help.

Not bad, right?

Well, I'm the King of Boomtown.

Very impressive.

Oh, hooray!

It's Ellie. And here I was
just starting to enjoy myself.

Hello, Magnus.

Your voice is exactly as pleasant
as I remember.

Which is to say, not at all.

Ow! My feelings!

Is that the same wit you're gonna use
to save the world?

[Ellegaard] Why?
You here to tell me how to do it better?

[Magnus chuckles]
Oh, I would never dream of doing that.

Unlike you, I actually do things
instead of just talking about them.

Hey! That's Ellegaard you're talking to.
Show her some respect.

Wow!
You finally found yourself a live one.

Hey!

Your little devotees are usually
a little more on the bookish side.

Leave her out of this, Magnus.
This is between the two of us.

Oh, I started ignoring her ages ago.

-Olivia, I'd just stay out of this.
-But--

Your friend's right, Olivia.
I've got this just fine on my own.

Uh, people, can we please focus
on the bigger picture?

We have a very hungry Wither Storm

in the process of turning
the whole world into its dinner.

Yeah, I'll admit,
that thing looked real nasty.

And I've seen some nasty stuff in my time.

Too much for you, was it?
Your usual brutish approach didn't cut it?

Hey! You weren't there, all right?

You didn't see how this thing
just tore everything up!

You've never seen anything like it.

Would you two stop fighting?!

-Whoa!
-Yikes.

Jesse's right. We need to find some way
to stop that thing.

I don't know if you've looked around,

but this place isn't the stronghold
it used to be.

Most of our supplies are gone.

It would take a mountain of TNT
to k*ll that thing.

I hate to say it, but you have a point.

Can we start crafting some, then?

I don't think we got that kind of time.

If only Soren were here,
he might have something we could use.

Oh, Ellie, not this again.

There's something stronger than TNT?

Soren had a kind of super TNT,

stronger and more expl*sive
than anything else in the world.

The formidi-b*mb.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've heard
all about the F-b*mb before.

Well, the formidi-b*mb sounds perfect.
We should go get it now.

Well, there's a little problem there.

We don't know where Soren is.

But you found us.
Do you know where he is?

[Ellegaard] Our map could locate him.

Unless he's in the Nether or the End.

But it's worth a shot.

I bet we can find him.

I'm very curious to see it.

I've never actually seen it work before.

All right, there's your light, my light...

That's new.

There he is.

Soren had his fortress
deep inside the mountains.

After the Order broke up, that's where
he went to keep doing his experiments.

Look, he invited me there a couple times,
but it always seemed a little...

Weird, right?
It always seemed a little weird.

Then let's stop hanging around here
and go get us some super TNT.

Whoa.

Blue? Blue?

That's Ivor!

Ivor is going to Soren's.
We need to move!

It's not too far.
We could probably make it on foot.

Perfect.

We can wait till tomorrow morning
and travel with a full day's sunlight.

And risk that thing catching up with us?

Think I've had enough Wither Storm
for one day, thank you very much.

Right, because getting caught out there
in the dark is so much better.

I don't want the Wither Storm
catching up with us. We should go now.

Okay, everyone, let's get moving.

-Jesse, right?
-Oh, hello.

We haven't had the chance
to acquaint ourselves properly.

I hear that you saved your friend Petra
from this Wither Storm.

Sounds like you're
a pretty impressive individual.

I'm just doing my best
to keep everyone safe.

I can always appreciate humility.
I like you.

A slight tangent. What's the, uh, deal
with your friend Olivia?

I appreciate her enthusiasm,
but she can be a little much sometimes.

She's always very eager
to jump in and help.

Which is sweet, of course,

though sometimes I wish she would think
a bit more before jumping in.

Especially when she keeps getting
in over her head.

I don't know if you caught this,
but she's, like, your biggest fan.

You probably just make her nervous.

That's an excellent point.
Hadn't thought about that.

Seems like you respect her a lot.

Why didn't you listen to her plan
to come and recruit me?

I figured that we needed firepower,

and no one knows destruction
better than Magnus.

The man does know how to blow things up
with reckless abandon, that's for sure.

I'll do my best
to not let it hurt my feelings.

[chuckles] Joke. That was a joke.

[Wither Storm growling]

Uh, guys?

[growling]

-I told you it was gonna catch up with us!
-Oh, my.

You really weren't kidding.

No, not again.

We can hash all that out later.
Come on, we gotta get out of here!

Not again. Not again.

Soren's isn't much farther!
We can make it!

[panting]

I am getting very tired
of this Wither Storm.

Agreed.

Soren's place has gotta be just ahead!
Come on!

[squealing]

Soren really lived down here?

It's so far from... anyone.

-Enchanting, isn't it?
-[coughing]

[Lukas] Yeah, and I'm really not feeling
those columns.

Aw, come on! It's fine! Look!

Whoo!

[Reuben grunting]

[Olivia and Lukas grunt]

-[squealing]
-Just don't fall, okay?

[grunts]

Oh, that is deep.
That is very, very deep.

-Ah!
-[squealing]

Hang on! I'm coming!

-[squealing]
-[screaming]

[grunts]

[Enderman grunting]

[Jesse] Oh, man. We've got Endermen.

[Reuben squealing]

[Lukas] Ah!

It was, uh... [chuckles] more of a drop
than I was expecting.

[Enderman grunting]

-[Lukas] Endermen.
-[Jesse] There are so many.

I didn't think they ever came
in groups that big.

No kidding.
It's like an Enderman party.

I heard your voice and thought
I would come down to help. [chuckles]

[Enderman grunting]

That was pretty reckless, Lukas.
You could've gotten hurt.

[Reuben squealing]

[Jesse and Lukas shout]

-[shrieks]
-Ah!

[grunts]

[screams]

[gasps]

[panting]

[yelling]

Reuben, jump!

[squealing]

[yelling]

[Magnus] Oh, be quiet!
It's just a pointless building!

That's all I'm saying.
I mean, look at--

[Ellegaard] Magnus, if an artist painted
the inside of your mind,

he'd end up with the most extraordinary
desertscape paintings.

That's it. I'm going!

Once again, it falls to me
to take care of everything.

I'll find this super TNT myself.

[Magnus] Oh, no, no, no!

You do not get to be the one
who walks away.

That's it! I'm going.

See? I'm walking away, too, now.

Super TNT, here I come!

It's hard to pick "glass half full"
when they keep kicking the glass over.

Bickering is kinda their deal.

But hopefully they'll work things out
and get on with the important stuff.

What are we gonna do now?
Where should we go?

Let's figure it out.

Petra, are you okay?

I'm sorry. I don't mean to worry you.

I've just got something
I wanna discuss with you in private.

Let's split up.

I feel bad about ditching everyone else,

but I just wanted to talk to you
about this alone.

Hey, whatever it is, I trust you.
You can tell me.

Thanks for being so understanding.

You got me away from the Wither Storm,

but I'm worried that I didn't get away
soon enough.

What?

What is that?
What's wrong with your arm?

Do you know what Wither is?

The Wither? Of course. We've been--

No, Jesse. Just Wither,
or Wither sickness, I guess.

And I feel like
it's just gonna keep getting worse.

Well, we're gonna go back
and tell the others. We can get help.

You can't tell anyone about this.

[Jesse gasps]

[hissing]

Ah! Creeper!

[grunts]

Grab my hand. I'll pull you up.

-[grunting]
-[yells, groans]

Jesse, I just couldn't-- I'm sorry.

Jesse?

Are you okay?

[Reuben whimpering]

Go and find the others.

Hopefully you can find a way
to get down to me or something.

Okay. I got this.

Stay safe.
I'll find a way down to you.

[squealing]

[amulet chiming]

Hey, show yourself! Who's there?

[gasps]

You! Trying to interfere
with my plans again, I see.

What are you doing down here?

Being rudely interrupted by you, clearly.

I'm here with the Order
to find Soren's super TNT.

We're gonna take down your Wither Storm.

The Order? [laughs]

Believe me, that plan will blow up
in their faces in more ways than one.

They cannot help you.

But me? I choose not to.

Sorry, Ivor. I'm--

-[Ivor grunts]
-Oh, you're not going anywhere.

Hmm, Petra? You escaped?

[chuckles]

Ha! [grunts]

Foolish girl! I--

Shut up!
I don't care what you have to say.

I'm just gonna take you down.
[grunting]

[both grunting]

Petra, just let him go. He's not worth it.

Sorry, Jesse.

I didn't escape one monster
just to let another get away.

[grunts]

I'm the only one
who can stop the Wither Storm.

Not you! Not the Order!

Don't make yourselves the villains
in my story.

Ya!

-You're not going anywhere, creep.
-Ah!

This could have all been avoided.

If you wanna stop me,
you'll have to catch me first.

Jesse, look out!

You're not getting out of here
that easy, Ivor.

[laughing] I'm like the wind!

-[grunts]
-[shouts]

Out of my way!

I'll cut through you if I have to!

[shouts]

Don't tempt your fate.

[Ivor shouts]

[panting]

It didn't have to go this way, Jesse.
You could've just let me go. [laughs]

Now you see me, now you...

[Ivor laughing maniacally]

It's one of his invisibility potions!
He could be anywhere!

Vanish all you want, slime ball.
You're still not going anywhere.

-[grunts]
-[Ivor laughs]

-[grunts]
-[Ivor laughs]

End of the rail, Ivor.
We're not letting you get away with this.

[Ivor] This one's on you,
you puffed-up fool.

[Ivor grunts]

[groaning] There's no time for this.

[panting]

-Jesse! Petra!
-[Ivor] Even more of you?

Will this parade of useless babblers
never cease?

-What's going on?
-We found Ivor.

-We stopped him.
-Jesse did, anyway.

False. You have stopped nothing.

A query.

Have you ever seen the effects
of a Splash Potion of Slowness?

What...

[in slo-mo] are you talking about?

You big jerk!

[Petra] Get back here!

Magnus and Ellegaard may think
they can stop me,

that they can destroy the Wither Storm,
but they are mistaken.

And it will cost them their lives.

-Uh... Jesse!
-[gasps]

-[Ghast shrieks]
-[screaming]

Ow, ow, ow, ow!

[Jesse] The mine carts!

Great! More Ghasts.

[Ghast shrieks]

[Olivia] Do something about the Ghast!

Okay, think fast, Jesse.
What to choose?

[grunts]

[grunts]

[shrieks]

Okay, we're all set to go again.

Time to move, buddy! Let's go!

[Olivia]
Hitting the powered tracks... now!

I never doubted you for a second, but...
but that was incredible!

Maybe we have a chance
of getting to Ellegaard after all!

Look! There's the sign. "Redstonia"!

Redstonia, here we come!

You're about to meet the greatest
redstone builders in the world.

Wow! Who would have thought that someday
I'd really get to visit Redstonia,

Ellegaard's capital city of engineering?

Incredible!

Do you think Ellegaard will be willing,
you know, to help us?

[theme music playing]

Have you seen all these inventions?
These inventors are all incredible.

I might know redstone where we come from,
but these people are the real deal, Jesse.

[cow moos]

I don't even know how they're making
some of these things.

That's rare for me.

You're just as good as them, Olivia.
Just be confident.

Maybe, but thanks
for the vote of confidence.

[Ellegaard] Builders of Redstonia!

-I want you to know...
-Jesse, there she is.

...how much I value and adore
each and every one of you.

Your hard work inspires me every day.

I am about to enter
my Dome of Concentration,

where I will be unreachable
for the foreseeable future,

but I will emerge when I complete
my latest and greatest creation,

the command block!

[crowd cheering, applauding]

So, please, continue working,
continue building.

And whichever person most impresses me,
they shall be my protégé...

[crowd] Ooh!

...ready to help usher in a new era
of innovation and creativity.

Calvin, throw the switch!

[rumbling]

Jesse, we need to get there
before she totally locks herself in!

[thudding]

So, Ellegaard's trying
to make a command block in there?

I don't know, Jesse.
That sounds pretty risky.

You saw what happened when Ivor tried
to control a command block.

Excuse me, Mr. Calvin, was it?

We need to speak to Ellegaard.
It's urgent.

Oh, I'm afraid that's quite impossible.
Did you hear the speech?

She's on lockdown until she completes
her next great invention.

I have a message from Gabriel, okay?

Ellegaard's old friend?

I'm afraid I have many more things
to attend to

than answering all of your questions.

I must go.

Better just take this repeater
and disable the stair controls.

We don't want any troublemakers
disturbing Ellegaard.

Guess we'll need to get another repeater.

We need three stone,
two redstone torches

and one pile of redstone dust to make one.

Right.

Hi!

Hey, how's it goin'? How ya doin'?

Here to see the next great revolution
in entertainment?

Actually, I was wondering
can you spare a repeater?

Oh! Sorry, friend.

Actually just used my last one
on this puppy.

One of the key components
that helps the cows dance. [laughs]

I'm actually gonna keep on keeping on.

Enjoy the dancing cows!

[mooing]

Just stay away
from that little schoolboy, all right?

He's never had an original idea
in his life.

Been real chatty
with that disco friend of yours.

What's he been telling you about me, huh?

Is this idea yours?

Like, 100 percent?

Because he kind of says
that you steal your ideas.

All of them.

That no good, dirty... [growls]

disco freak!

I've got a bone to pick with you!

Steal all my ideas, huh?

That's what you're telling people?

Guess I just call 'em like I see 'em.

-[groans]
-You are just-- [grunts]

Well, you know what I call that?

-A bunch of cow t*rture.
-Boy, what a cutting insult!

Who'd you steal that one from?

[both grunting]

Try not to touch anything
until we know what it does, okay?

Oh, pfft.
I wasn't gonna touch anything.

I was just going to look really carefully.

Come on, let's keep moving.

Seems like this place
has really blown you away.

You're not kidding.

This is like everything
I've ever dreamed of.

[whooshing]

This is just like I dreamt it.

Entering Ellegaard's laboratory,
seeing her right there.

She'll ask me to be her apprentice,

and next thing you know,
we'll be changing the world together.

Let's just try to save the world first.

Whoa! Hi! Hey! [chuckles]
Didn't see you sneaking up on me.

-Guess that's the point.
-[squeals]

Don't touch anything in here, okay?
It's all supremely fragile and genius.

Did Calvin send you?
Are you my new assistants?

New assistants
with a stupidly adorable pig, that is!

[chuckles]

Jesse, she thinks
we're her new assistants.

This is so exciting.

You must be here
to see my incredible auto farmer.

Why waste time planting sugarcane
when it could be planting itself?

You got a repeater?

Sorry, already used all mine.
I got some redstone torches, though.

Here, take these
as a token of my gratitude.

That's some primo crafting material
right there.

Awesome! Thanks!

[objects rattling]

Oh, man, stone. Jackpot!

Ah!

Hi there.

I like you, sport.
Here, have some redstone dust.

Dust from a strange man. Cool.

-[cows mooing]
-[disco guy] Oh, no! My machine!

-Oh, my cows!
-Oh, no, your amazing invention.

You! You did this!

Hey, I am not taking credit
for any of this.

That machine's been a cow deathtrap
since block one!

[Jesse] Okay, that's a step
in the right direction.

Bam! Door opened.

Switch is on. Okay, good, good.

Wow! Here it is!

Ellegaard's redstone laboratory.

Seems more like an entrance
or a foyer or something.

-[squealing]
-Don't worry, pal, we'll find her.

I just hope she can actually help us.

That might be the most redstone stuff
I've ever seen in my life.

[Olivia] You can say that again.

She's moving a lot
of different ingredients around here.

Man, look at all this, huh?

Whatever she's working on,
if it requires all of these ingredients,

it must be something really, really big.

-Ellegaard--
-No time for specifics, I'm afraid.

Hey, you, Goggle Girl.

Switch on that T-flop circuit
to activate the delivery chutes.

And, you, grab me a blaze rod
and an iron block.

She wants me to do something for her.

What if I screw it up? What if I--
Oh, I feel lightheaded.

[thuds]

[squealing]

Whoa. Now I need an assistant
to help with my assistant.

Think you can handle it on your own?

Olivia? Olivia, can you hear me?

I don't think
that I've ever fainted before.

[groans] So embarrassing.

Everything working over-- Oh.

Hmm.
Fine. I'll just do it myself, then.

[whirring]

Come on, come on, come on.

Big winner, big winner, big...

loser!

Ugh!

Trial number 6,451, another bust.

-Now, about you three.
-[squeals]

Uh, your friend here,
does she fall over frequently?

Is this gonna be a regular occurrence?

I-- No. I'm sorry.

I was just so excited to--

And with me always pacing around,
lost in my own brilliant thoughts,

I could have tripped over you
and conked my brain!

Brilliant thoughts... gone.
[chuckles]

I could see that.

Ellegaard, we've actually got
much bigger problems to deal with.

We're actually here to get your help.

There's a giant Wither Storm
and it's attacking the entire world.

A Wither what?
What are you talking about?

-Who-- Who sent you?
-Gabriel sent me.

Look, you both seem
like very pleasant people

who are prone to fainting,

but I simply don't have
the brain power for this.

I'm in the middle
of my greatest project to date,

a powerful block
capable of altering reality itself!

I've seen one of those before.
It's a command block.

Wait, wait, wait. Wait.
How do you know what a command block is?

We've seen one up close before.
It was Ivor's.

He's done something terrible with it.

The world needs the Order of the Stone!
That's why we're here.

Ugh, sorry to bust your circuits,

but the Order
isn't really together anymore.

We, uh, sort of disassembled.

That's actually kind of why we're here.

Gabriel's amulet.

Yes, he gave it to me
so that I could find the Order.

Your Wither Storm problem was created
by a command block, yes?

That means a command block
could be the perfect way of beating it!

-And maybe--
-Will you help me make one?

It's going to work this time.
I can feel it.

Right here, in my brain.

I could help, too.

Ellegaard, I'm sorry,
but, no, I can't let you do this.

Please, we have to go.

Go? This seems terribly shortsighted.

I had thought you were the brains
of your little trio.

This could be the greatest invention
the world has ever seen.

It could change everything.

You'll understand when you see it,
I promise. There's no time.

[Ellegaard] While I'm very glad
you want my assistance,

and trust me, I won't faint,
I'm still not sure...

[gasps] Oh, my circuits.

I'm so sorry. So, so sorry.

We should get to the portal.
Now, as soon as possible.

Ah!

-[yelling]
-[squealing]

[Ellegaard] Over here!

[Jesse grunting]

This way!

[grunting]

-[Ellegaard] Jesse!
-[squealing]

[shouts]

Ya!

[Reuben squeals]

[grunts]

[Wither Storm growling]

Okay, just a little farther!

Well, that's certainly impressive!

Wow.

[both grunt]

-[hissing]
-Ah!

Whoa!

[Lukas] Who goes there?

Oh, Jesse? Is that you?

Lukas, did you build all of this?

Well, yeah.

I figured I would try
and fortify the place, you know?

[Jesse chuckles] Nice!

Quick, come on!

You guys are never gonna believe
who showed up while you were gone.

Gabriel!

Hello, everyone.
It is good to see you.

He showed up not too long before you guys.

Ellegaard, my old friend.

Boy, are you a sight for sore eyes.

Maybe with you here, we actually
stand a chance against this thing.

[chuckles] Oh.

How I've missed your optimistic spirit.

[sighs] And it's especially good
to see you, Jesse.

I feared that you might be
the last face I ever saw.

Getting here was... hard.

It's such a relief to see you.
I'm glad you're okay.

If you hadn't pulled me
out of the Wither Storm's clutches...

Well, let's just not think about that.

I came here to the temple,

hoping against hope
to find other survivors.

Wow. Did Petra get away, too?
Did you see?

All that creature left in its wake
was bedrock.

All those people, your friend Petra...

no one could get away.

We are alive.

And that means there's still hope.

Come along.
Everyone else is still inside.

Boy, can't remember the last time
I saw this place.

Would someone care to explain
what he is doing here?

Oh, this isn't going to go well.

Right. I forgot to mention.

Axel went on a little... adventure
of his own while you were gone.

An adventure to get him?

Did you know about this?

Look, just wait here a second
while I figure out what's going on.

Much appreciated.

So, who are you, then?

And why'd you bring
the Queen of the Nerds with you?

That's Jesse, my best friend.

Trust me, Jesse's totally cool.

I'll... [laughs]

I'll be the judge of that, huh?

Yeah, and you two are going
to have to get along, okay?

We didn't even know
you were gonna be here.

That makes two of us, then.
But reversed for me.

I got tired of waiting around,
so I decided to go recruit Magnus myself.

It was kind of a crazy adventure,
but it all worked out in the end.

And now, I'm the King of Boomtown.

Boomtown?

That's the name of Magnus's kingdom.

I had to beat him
in a crazy tournament and--

Long story. You had to be there.

Short version:
epic battle of explosions and mayhem,

death-defying-action shenanigans
and pyrotechnics.

Badabing, badaboom!

Your friend here is kind of supreme ruler
of my kingdom now.

You know what I mean.

Well, this is unexpected.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean,

but I'm definitely sure
that I don't like it.

Yeah! Show him some respect!

Oh, you're sticking up for Magnus.
That's very... sweet.

Yeah, he's sticking up for me.

It's because I'm really awesome
and super cool.

I'll never understand your fans.

Axel, not your fight.
Stay out of it.

-But--
-Your friend has a point.

I can fight my own battles.

Uh, people, can we please focus
on the bigger picture?

We have a very hungry Wither Storm

in the process of turning the whole world
into its dinner.

It was terrifying.

It came out of nowhere
and just destroyed... everything.

A little too scary for you, Ellie?
Couldn't just think it away?

You weren't there, Magnus.

I'm telling you, this thing
was like nothing I've ever seen.

Why? Because it's never come inside
one of your little workshops?

Would you two stop fighting?!

-Whoa!
-Yikes.

Jesse speaks the truth.

We must find a way
to defeat that monstrosity.

I don't know if you've had the chance
to poke around this old dump yet,

but it's pretty much stripped bare.

It would take a mountain of TNT
to k*ll that thing!

I hate to say it, but you have a point.

Can we start crafting some, then?

I don't think we got that kind of time.

If only Soren were here,
he might have something we could use.

Oh, Ellie, not this again.

There's something stronger than TNT?

Soren had a kind of super TNT,

stronger and more expl*sive
than anything else in the world.

The formidi-b*mb.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I've heard all about the F-b*mb before.

Well, the formidi-b*mb sounds perfect.
We should go get it now!

Well, there's a little problem there.

We don't know where Soren is.

But you found us.
Do you know where he is?

[Ellegaard] Our map could locate him.

Unless he's in the Nether or the End.

But it's worth a shot.

I bet we can find him.

Jesse, do you still have the amulet
I gave you?

Of course.

All right, there's your light, my light...

That's new.

There he is.

Soren had his fortress
deep inside the mountains.

After the Order broke up,

that's where he went
to keep doing his experiments.

Look, he invited me there a couple times,
but it always seemed a little...

Weird, right?
It always seemed a little weird.

Then let's stop hanging around here
and go get us some super TNT.

Whoa!

Blue? Blue?

That's Ivor!

Ivor is going to Soren's.
We need to move!

It's not too far.
We could probably make it on foot.

Righteous!

We'll get some rest and head out
first thing in the morning,

[mockingly] avoiding all the nighttime
and monsters and everything.

If you had seen that monster,
you wouldn't be saying that.

We need to leave now.

I don't want the Wither Storm
catching up with us. We should go now.

Okay, everyone, let's get moving.

Yo! We haven't really gotten
the chance to chat yet.

Oh, hello.

Gabe over there says you saved him
from this Wither Storm thing.

You're pretty tough, huh?

I'm just doing my best
to keep everyone safe.

Humility. Nice. I can dig it.

What's the deal with your buddy Axel?

Can't tell if he's awesome
or a little bit of a dork.

He's just a little, uh, doofy, you know?

He's like a little puppy.

You don't know whether you wanna hug it
or just walk away.

You know what I'm talking about?

Axel's one of my best friends.

He makes me laugh
and he always sticks up for his friends.

Interesting. Very interesting.

Then why didn't you listen to his plan
to come get me?

I figured that we needed brains
to fight the Wither Storm.

And brains means Ellegaard.

Yeah. I've definitely heard that a lot.

[chuckles] I'll try not to let it hurt
my feelings too much.

Well, just keep on your toes.

[Wither Storm growling]

Uh, guys?

[growling]

I told you it was gonna catch up with us!

Oh, my.
You really weren't kidding.

No. How could it find me again?

We can hash all that out later.
Come on, we gotta get out of here!

Will this creature never stop?

Soren's isn't much farther!
We can make it!

[panting]

I am getting very tired
of this Wither Storm.

Agreed.

Soren's place has gotta be just ahead!
Come on!

[squealing]

Soren really lived down here?

It's so far from... anyone.

-Enchanting, isn't it?
-[coughing]

[Lukas] Yeah, and I'm really not feeling
those columns.

Aw, come on! It's fine! Look!

Whoo!

-[snorting]
-[Olivia and Lukas grunt]

-Just don't fall, okay?
-[squealing]

[grunts]

Oh, that is deep.
That is very, very deep.

-[screams]
-[squealing]

Hang on! I'm coming!

-[squealing]
-[screaming]

[grunts]

[Enderman grunting]

[Jesse] Oh, man. We've got Endermen.

[Reuben squealing]

[Lukas] Ah!

It was, uh... [chuckles] more of a drop
than I was expecting.

[Enderman grunting]

-[Lukas] Endermen.
-[Jesse] There are so many.

I didn't think they ever came
in groups that big.

No kidding.
It's like an Enderman party.

I heard your voice and thought
I would come down to help. [chuckles]

Thanks for coming back, Lukas.
I mean that.

[Reuben squealing]

[all screaming]

-[shrieks]
-[screams]

[grunts]

[screams]

[gasps]

[panting]

[Lukas screams]

Reuben, jump!

[squeals]

[screams]

[Magnus] Oh, be quiet!
It's just a pointless building.

That's all I'm saying.
I mean, look at--

[Ellegaard] Magnus, if an artist painted
the inside of your mind,

he'd end up with the most extraordinary
desertscape paintings.

That's it! I'm going.

Once again, it falls to me
to take care of everything.

I'll find this super TNT myself!

[Magnus] Oh, no, no, no!

You do not get to be the one
who walks away.

That's it! I'm going.

See? I'm walking away, too, now.

Super TNT, here I come!

It's hard to pick "glass half full"
when they keep kicking the glass over.

Bickering is kind of their deal.

But hopefully they'll work things out
and get on with the important stuff.

What are we gonna do now?
Where should we go?

Let's figure it out.

Gabriel, are you okay?

I know it's not the best time
and I... I don't want to worry you...

but there's something I'd like to discuss
with you in private, Jesse.

Then let's split up.

I'm aware that letting them
head off alone was risky, but...

I need to talk to you
about a private matter.

Hey, whatever it is, I trust you.
You can tell me.

Thank you for being so understanding.

I'm so glad to see my old friends
together again.

-I don't want to ruin it with this.
-What?

You may have succeeded in getting me away
from the Wither Storm, but...

I fear it was already too late.

What is that?
What's wrong with your arm?

Tell me, do you know what "Wither" is?

-The Wither? Of course. We've been--
-No, just Wither.

Or Wither sickness,
to be more descriptive.

It is something I have contracted before
in my travels, but it always wears off.

It seems that Ivor's monster

exudes a Wither sickness
that is decidedly more fatal.

Well, we're gonna go back
and tell the others. We can get help.

No, Jesse.
You can't tell anyone about this.

[Jesse gasps]

-[hissing]
-[Gabriel] What?

Creeper! Look out!

Ah!

Take my hand! I'll pull you up!

[Gabriel grunting]

[yelling, groans]

My strength is compromised.
I couldn't maintain my hold!

I'm so sorry.
Jesse, are you all right?

Are you hurt? Jesse?

[Reuben whimpering]

Don't worry. I'm fine.

Time to be a hero again.

Stay safe.
I'll find a way down to you.

[squealing]

[amulet chiming]

Hey, show yourself! Who's there?

[gasps]

You! Trying to interfere
with my plans again, I see.

What are you doing down here?

Being rudely interrupted by you, clearly.

I'm here with the Order
to find Soren's super TNT.

We're gonna take down your Wither Storm.

The Order? [chuckles]

Believe me, that plan will blow up
in their faces in more ways than one.

They cannot help you.

But me? I choose not to.

Sorry, Ivor. I'm--

[Gabriel] Stop right there, Ivor!

-Gabriel! You're alive!
-Against all your best efforts, Ivor.

Look at what you've done.

I never dreamt
that even you could be this twisted!

Save your posturing, Gabriel.

We both know your words
have always been hollow,

just like the Order.

You're not going anywhere, Ivor,
at least not in one piece.

[Ivor] Your threats pass
harmlessly through me,

but this sword will pass through you!

[both grunting]

-I'm not letting him leave either.
-Good.

I'm the only one who can stop
the Wither Storm.

Not you, not the Order!

Don't make yourselves the villains
in my story.

Ya!

-Stay and fight, you coward!
-[shouts]

This could have all been avoided.

If you want to stop me,
you'll have to catch me first.

Look out, Jesse!
He's using a Potion of Swiftness!

We mustn't let him escape!

[laughs] I'm like the wind!

-[groans]
-[shouts]

Out of my way!

-Ah!
-I'll cut through you if I have to!

[Ivor groans]

Don't tempt your fate.

[groans]

[panting]

It didn't have to go this way, Jesse.

You could've just let me go. [laughs]

Now you see me, now you...

[Ivor laughing]

He could be anywhere.
Stay on your guard!

Invisible or not,
he isn't going to get by me.

-[grunts]
-[Ivor laughing]

-[grunts]
-[Ivor laughing]

[grunts]

Please, Ivor, just stand down.

[Ivor] This one's on you,
you puffed-up fool.

[groans]

[groaning] There's no time for this.

[panting]

-Jesse! Gabriel!
-[Ivor] Even more of you?

Will this parade of useless babblers
never cease?

-What's going on?
-We found Ivor.

-We stopped him.
-[scoffs] False.

You have stopped nothing.

A query.

Have you ever seen the effects
of a Splash Potion of Slowness?

What...

[in slo-mo] are you talking about?

You big jerk!

[Petra] Get back here!

Magnus and Ellegaard
may think they can stop me,

that they can destroy the Wither Storm,
but they are mistaken.

And it will cost them their lives.

I don't understand.
How did you escape?

You pulled me out
of that Wither Storm's clutches,

and I ran and ran and ran for the temple.

If you hadn't saved me...

Well, I owe you everything, Jesse.

Wow. Did Gabriel get away, too?
Did you see?

It's all a blur, but the Wither Storm
left almost nothing behind.

Everything, everyone was just gone.

It even got Gabriel.

I wouldn't believe
that anything could defeat Gabriel

if I hadn't seen it for myself.

This is terrible.

Boy, can't remember
the last time I saw this place.

Would someone care to explain
what he is doing here?

Call this a hunch,
but do you two not like each other?

Right. I forgot to mention.

Axel went on a little...

adventure of his own
while you were gone.

An adventure to get him?

Did you know about this?

Look, just wait here a second
while I figure out what's going on.

Much appreciated.

So, who are you, then?

And why did you bring
the Queen of the Nerds with you?

That's Jesse, my best friend.

Trust me, Jesse's totally cool.

I'll-- [laughs]

I'll be the judge of that, huh?

I don't understand.
How did you escape?

If you hadn't pulled me
out of the Wither Storm's clutches...

Well, let's just not think about that.

I came here to the temple,

hoping against hope
to find other survivors.

Wow. Did Petra get away, too?
Did you see?

All that creature left in its wake

All those people, your friend Petra...

no one could get away.

We are alive,
and that means there's still hope.

Come along.
Everyone else is still inside.

Boy, can't remember the last time

Oh, this isn't going to go well.

Right. I forgot to mention.

Look, just wait here a second

And why did you bring
the Queen of the Nerds with you?

That's Jesse, my best friend.

Trust me, Jesse's totally cool.

I'll-- [laughs]

I'll be the judge of that, huh?

Hey, Ellegaard is cool and she's going
to help stop this Wither Storm.

Ellie? [laughs]

"Cool"?

[laughs]

Oh, wait, wait. You're serious?

Oh, wow, that's, uh, that's uh...

Whoo! Ha! Oh, boy.

I got tired of waiting around,
so I decided to go recruit Magnus myself.

It was kind of a crazy adventure,
but it all worked out in the end.

And now, I'm the King of Boomtown!

Boomtown?

That's the name of Magnus's kingdom.

I had to beat him
in a crazy tournament and--

Long story. You had to be there.

Short version:
epic battle of explosions and mayhem,

death-defying-action shenanigans
and pyrotechnics.

Badabing, badaboom!

Your friend here is kind of supreme ruler
of my kingdom now.

You know what I mean.

Well, this is unexpected.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean,

but I'm definitely sure
that I don't like it.

Yeah! Show him some respect!

Oh, you're sticking up for Magnus.
That's very... sweet.

Yeah, he's sticking up for me.

It's because I'm really awesome
and super cool.

I'll never understand your fans.

Hey, Ellegaard is cool and she's going
to help stop this Wither Storm.

Ellie? [laughs]

"Cool"?

[laughs]

Oh, wait, wait. You're serious?

Oh, wow, that's, uh, that's uh...

Whoo! Ha! Oh, boy.

I got tired of waiting around,
so I decided to go recruit Magnus myself.

It was kind of a crazy adventure,
but it all worked out in the end.

And now, I'm the King of Boomtown!

Yeah, he's sticking up for me.

It's because I'm really awesome
and super cool.

I'll never understand your fans.

Ellegaard, come on.

I know this isn't how the plan
was supposed to go,

but it's going to be fine.

Ha!

Fine.

Uh, people, can we please focus
on the bigger picture?

We have a very hungry Wither Storm

in the process of turning the whole world
into its dinner.

It was terrifying.

It came out of nowhere
and just destroyed everything.

A little too scary for you, Ellie?

-Couldn't just think it away?
-You weren't there, Magnus.

I'm telling you, this thing was like
nothing I've ever seen.

Why? Because it's never come inside
one of your little workshops?

Would you two stop fighting?!

-Whoa!
-Yikes!

Jesse's right. We need to find some way
to stop that thing.

I don't know if you've had the chance
to poke around this old dump yet,

but it's pretty much stripped bare.

It would take a mountain of TNT
to k*ll that thing!

I hate to say it, but you have a point.

Can we start crafting some, then?

I don't think we got that kind of time.

If only Soren were here.
He might have something we could use.

Oh, Ellie, not this again.

There's something stronger than TNT?

Soren had a kind of super TNT,

stronger and more expl*sive
than anything else in the world.

The formidi-b*mb.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I've heard all about the F-b*mb before.

Well, the formidi-b*mb sounds perfect.
We should go get it now.

Well, there's a little problem there.

We don't know where Soren is.

But you found us.
Do you know where he is?

[Ellegaard] Our map could locate him.

Unless he's in the Nether or the End.

But it's worth a shot.

Ellegaard, come on.

I know this isn't how the plan
was supposed to go,

but it's going to be fine.

Ha!

Fine.

Uh, people, can we please focus
on the bigger picture?

We have a very hungry Wither Storm

in the process of turning the whole world
into its dinner.

It was terrifying.

It came out of nowhere
and just destroyed everything.

A little too scary for you, Ellie?
Couldn't just think it away?

You weren't there, Magnus.

I'm telling you, this thing was like
nothing I've ever seen.

Why? Because it's never come inside
one of your little workshops?

Would you two stop fighting?!

-Whoa!
-Yikes.

Jesse speaks the truth.

We must find a way
to defeat that monstrosity.

I don't know if you've had the chance
to poke around this old dump yet,

but it's pretty much stripped bare.

It would take a mountain of TNT
to k*ll that thing!

I hate to say it, but you have a point.

Can we start crafting some, then?

I don't think we got that kind of time.

If only Soren were here.
He might have something we could use.

Oh, Ellie, not this again.

There's something stronger than TNT?

Soren had a kind of super TNT,

stronger and more expl*sive
than anything else in the world.

The formidi-b*mb.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I've heard all about the F-b*mb before.

Well, the formidi-b*mb sounds perfect.
We should go get it now.

Well, there's a little problem there.

We don't know where Soren is.

But you found us.
Do you know where he is?

[Ellegaard] Our map could locate him.

Unless he's in the Nether or the End.

But it's worth a shot.

He wasn't on the map.

I'm very curious to see it.
I've never actually seen it work before.

All right, there's your light, my light...

That's new.

There he is.

Soren had his fortress
deep inside the mountains.

After the Order broke up,

that's where he went to keep
doing his experiments.

Look, he invited me there a couple times,
but it always seemed a little...

Weird, right?
It always seemed a little weird.

Then let's stop hanging around here
and go get us some super TNT!

Whoa.

Blue? Blue?

That's Ivor!

Ivor is going to Soren's!
We need to move!

It's not too far.
We could probably make it on foot.

Righteous! We'll get some rest
and head out first thing in the morning,

[mockingly] avoiding all the nighttime
and monsters and everything.

If you had seen that monster,
you wouldn't be saying that.

We need to leave, now.

I don't want the Wither Storm
catching up with us. We should go now.

Okay, everyone, let's get moving.

Yo, we haven't really gotten
the chance to chat yet.

Oh, hello.

I heard you saved your friend back there
from this Wither Storm thing.

You're pretty tough, huh?

I'm just doing my best
to keep everyone safe.

Humility. Nice. I can dig it.

What's the deal with your buddy Axel?

Can't tell if he's awesome
or a little bit of a dork.

He's just a little, uh, doofy, you know?

He's like a little puppy.

You don't know whether you wanna hug it
or just walk away.

You know what I'm talking about?

He wasn't on the map.

Jesse, do you still have the amulet
I gave you?

Of course.

All right, there's your light, my light...

That's new.

There he is.

Soren had his fortress
deep inside the mountains.

After the Order broke up,

that's where he went
to keep doing his experiments.

Look, he invited me there a couple times,
but it always seemed a little...

Weird, right?
It always seemed a little weird.

Then let's stop hanging around here
and go get us some super TNT!

Whoa!

Blue? Blue?

That's Ivor!

Ivor is going to Soren's!
We need to move!

It's not too far.
We could probably make it on foot.

Righteous! We'll get some rest
and head out first thing in the morning,

[mockingly] avoiding all the nighttime
and monsters and everything.

If you had seen that monster,
you wouldn't be saying that.

We need to leave, now.

I don't want the Wither Storm
catching up with us. We should go now.

Okay, everyone, let's get moving.

Yo, we haven't really gotten
the chance to chat yet.

Oh, hello.

Gabe over there says you saved him
from this Wither Storm thing.

You're pretty tough, huh?

I'm just doing my best
to keep everyone safe.

Humility. Nice. I can dig it.

What's the deal with your buddy Axel?

Can't tell if he's awesome
or a little bit of a dork.

He's just a little, uh, doofy, you know?

He's like a little puppy.

You don't know whether you wanna hug it
or just walk away.

You know what I'm talking about?

Yeah, he's kind of a jerk sometimes.

But he's our jerk, you know?
Can't help but like him.

Interesting. Very interesting.

Then why didn't you listen to his plan
to come get me?

I figured that we needed brains
to fight the Wither Storm.

And brains means Ellegaard.

Yeah. I've definitely heard that a lot.
[laughs]

I'll try not to let it hurt my feelings
too much.

Well, just keep on your toes.

[Wither Storm growling]

Uh, guys?

[growling]

I told you it was gonna catch up with us!

Oh, my. You really weren't kidding.

No. Not again.

We can hash all that out later.
Come on, we gotta get out of here!

Not again. Not again.

Soren's isn't much farther.
We can make it!

[panting]

I am getting very tired
of this Wither Storm.

Agreed.

Soren's place has gotta be just ahead!
Come on!

[squealing]

Soren really lived down here?

It's so far from... anyone.

-Enchanting, isn't it?
-[coughing]

[Lukas] Yeah, and I'm really not feeling
those columns.

Aw, come on!
It's fine! Look!

Whoo!

-[snorting]
-[Olivia and Lukas grunt]

-Just don't fall, okay?
-[squeals]

[grunts]

Oh, that is deep.
That is very, very deep.

-[screams]
-[squealing]

Hang on! I'm coming!

-[squealing]
-[screaming]

[grunts]

[Enderman grunting]

[Jesse] Oh, man. We've got Endermen.

[Reuben squealing]

[Lukas] Ah!

It was, uh... [chuckles] more of a drop
than I was expecting.

[Enderman grunting]

-[Lukas] Endermen.
-[Jesse] There are so many.

I didn't think they ever came
in groups that big.

No kidding.
It's like an Enderman party.

I heard your voice and thought
I would come down to help. [chuckles]

Yeah, he's kind of a jerk sometimes.

But he's our jerk, you know?
Can't help but like him.

Interesting. Very interesting.

Then why didn't you listen to his plan
to come get me?

I figured that we needed brains
to fight the Wither Storm.

And brains means Ellegaard.

Yeah. I've definitely heard that a lot.
[laughs]

I'll try not to let it hurt my feelings
too much.

Well, just keep on your toes.

[Wither Storm growling]

Uh, guys?

[growling]

I told you it was gonna catch up with us!

Oh, my. You really weren't kidding.

No. How could it find me again?

We can hash all that out later.
Come on, we gotta get out of here!

Will this creature never stop?

Soren's isn't much farther.
We can make it!

[panting]

I am getting very tired
of this Wither Storm.

Agreed.

Soren's place has gotta be just ahead!
Come on!

[squealing]

Soren really lived down here?

It's so far from... anyone.

-Enchanting, isn't it?
-[coughing]

[Lukas] Yeah, and I'm really not feeling
those columns.

Aw, come on!
It's fine! Look!

Whoo!

-[snorting]
-[Olivia and Lukas grunt]

-Just don't fall, okay?
-[squealing]

[grunts]

Oh, that is deep.
That is very, very deep.

-[screams]
-[squealing]

Hang on! I'm coming!

-[squealing]
-[screaming]

[grunts]

[Enderman grunting]

[Jesse] Oh, man. We've got Endermen.

[Reuben squealing]

[Lukas] Ah!

It was, uh... [chuckles] more of a drop
than I was expecting.

[Enderman grunting]

-[Lukas] Endermen.
-[Jesse] There are so many.

I didn't think they ever came
in groups that big.

No kidding.
It's like an Enderman party.

I heard your voice and thought
I would come down to help. [chuckles]

That was pretty reckless, Lukas.
You could've gotten hurt!

[Reuben squealing]

-[all screaming]
-[shrieks]

-[shrieking]
-[screams]

[grunts]

[screaming]

[gasps]

[panting]

[screams]

Reuben, jump!

[squeals]

[screams]

[Magnus] Oh, be quiet!
It's just a pointless building.

That's all I'm saying.
I mean, look at--

[Ellegaard] Magnus, if an artist painted
the inside of your mind,

he'd end up with the most extraordinary
desertscape paintings.

That's it! I'm going.

Once again, it falls to me
to take care of everything.

I'll find this super TNT myself!

[Magnus] Oh, no, no, no!

You do not get to be the one
who walks away.

That's it! I'm going.

See? I'm walking away, too, now.

Super TNT, here I come!

It's hard to pick "glass half full"
when they keep kicking the glass over.

Bickering is kind of their deal.

But hopefully they'll work things out
and get on with the important stuff.

What are we gonna do now?
Where should we go?

Let's figure it out.

Gabriel, are you okay?

I know it's not the best time
and I... I don't want to worry you...

but there's something I'd like to discuss
with you in private, Jesse.

Then let's split up.

I'm aware that letting them
head off alone was risky, but...

I need to talk to you
about a private matter.

Hey, whatever it is, I trust you.
You can tell me.

Thank you for being so understanding.

I'm so glad to see my old friends
together again.

-I don't want to ruin it with this.
-What?

You may have succeeded in getting me away
from the Wither Storm,

but I fear it was already too late.

What is that?
What's wrong with your arm?

Tell me, do you know what Wither is?

-The Wither? Of course. We've been--
-No, just Wither.

Or Wither sickness,
to be more descriptive.

It is something I have contracted before
in my travels, but it always wears off.

It seems that Ivor's monster

exudes a Wither sickness
that is decidedly more fatal.

We're gonna go back and tell the others.
We can get help.

No, Jesse.
You can't tell anyone about this.

[Jesse gasps]

-[hissing]
-[Gabriel] What?

Creeper! Look out!

[grunts]

Take my hand! I'll pull you up!

[Gabriel grunting]

[shouting, groans]

My strength is compromised.

I couldn't maintain my hold!
I'm so sorry.

Jesse, are you all right?

Are you hurt? Jesse?

[Reuben whimpering]

Go and find the others.

Hopefully, you can find a way
to get down to me or something.

Time to be a hero again.

Stay safe.
I'll find a way down to you.

[squealing]

[amulet chiming]

Hey, show yourself! Who's there?

[gasps]

You! Trying to interfere
with my plans again, I see.

What are you doing down here?

Being rudely interrupted by you, clearly.

I'm here with the Order
to find Soren's super TNT.

We're gonna take down your Wither Storm.

The Order? [chuckles]

Believe me, that plan will blow up
in their faces in more ways than one.

They cannot help you.
But me? I choose not to.

Sorry, Ivor. I'm--

[Gabriel] Stop right there, Ivor.

-Gabriel! You're alive!
-Against all your best efforts, Ivor.

Look at what you've done.

I never dreamt
that even you could be this twisted!

Save your posturing, Gabriel.

We both know your words
have always been hollow,

just like the Order.

You're not going anywhere, Ivor,
at least not in one piece.

[Ivor] Your threats pass
harmlessly through me,

but this sword will pass through you!

[both grunting]

Just let him go, Gabriel.
He's not worth it.

I'm sorry, Jesse,
but I can't just let him live.

[groans]

I'm the only one
who can stop the Wither Storm.

Not you, not the Order!

Don't make yourselves the villains
in my story.

Ya!

-Stay and fight, you coward!
-[groans]

This could have all been avoided.

If you want to stop me,
you'll have to catch me first.

Look out, Jesse!
He's using a Potion of Swiftness!

We mustn't let him escape!

[laughs] I'm like the wind!

-[groans]
-[shouts]

Out of my way!

I'll cut through you if I have to!

[Ivor groans]

Don't tempt your fate.

[groans]

[panting]

It didn't have to go this way, Jesse.
You could've just let me go. [laughs]

Now you see me, now you...

[Ivor laughing]

It's one of his invisibility potions!
He could be anywhere!

Invisible or not,
he isn't going to get by me.

-[grunts]
-[Ivor laughing]

-[grunts]
-[Ivor laughing]

[grunts]

Please, Ivor, just stand down.

[Ivor] This one's on you,
you puffed-up fool.

[groans]

[groaning] There's no time for this.

[panting]

-Jesse! Gabriel!
-[Ivor] Even more of you?

Will this parade of useless babblers
never cease?

-What's going on?
-We found Ivor.

-We stopped him.
-[scoffs] False.

You have stopped nothing.

A query.

Have you ever seen the effects
of a Splash Potion of Slowness?

What...

[in slo-mo] are you talking about?

You big jerk!

[Petra] Get back here!

Magnus and Ellegaard may think
they can stop me,

that they can destroy the Wither Storm,
but they are mistaken.

And it will cost them their lives.

Uh, dude!

-[gasps]
-[squeals]

-[shrieks]
-[all scream]

Ow, ow, ow, ow!

[Jesse] The mine carts!

Why does it hate us so much?

[Ghast shrieks]

[Axel] Hurry!
Use something on that Ghast.

Okay, think fast, Jesse.
What to choose?

[grunts]

[shrieks]

[Axel grunts]

Time to move, buddy! Let's go!

[Reuben squeals]

You were awesome, Jesse!

With that Ghast
and chasing the mine cart...

That is, like, the perfect warm-up
for when we get to Boomtown.

Boomtown?

[Axel] Yeah, Boomtown!

This is it!

[squealing]

I, uh... I think I'm gonna hold off

on the whole "going first" thing
for a while, Jesse.

How about you take this one?

[theme music playing]

-[screaming]
-[squeals]

Just be careful, okay?
One wrong step...

[all scream]

[groans]

[panting]

-[shouting]
-[Jesse] Ah!

[Jesse gasps]

[clucking]

Whoa!

You see that? Utter chaos, man!

[squeals]

[griefer] Your loot is mine, brigand!
[laughs]

[Nohr laughs]
You'll have to catch me first, anvil foot!

-[expl*si*n]
-Whoa! Um, I hope they're okay.

And if they're not,
at least they died doing what they loved.

Well, here you have it, Jesse.

Boomtown in all its glory!
What do you think?

Wow, Boomtown sure does
keep you on your toes.

Exciting stuff, huh?

Yeah! Yeah! Now you're getting it!

Dude, it's freaking glowing!

Dude, I think you're onto something there.

Yeah, well, the green part is.
That's weird.

Yeah.

And look, it glows brighter
when I move it in certain directions.

Easy does it. Easy.

Maybe to the left.

No, the right. I mean your left.

Right, I mean. You're right. About left.

-Axel, you're stressing me out with that.
-[amulet chiming]

-[Axel] Whoa!
-[Jesse] Whoa!

Ding, ding, ding!

Looks like that spire
is where we'll find Magnus.

Hey there, new people.

You, uh, you said you know
where Magnus is?

Just leave us alone, okay?
It's none of your business.

Hmm. I'm afraid to say that
you're just making me wonder even more

what the heck is up with that thing.

What's going on?

Nohr found some noobs
with a thingy that can find Magnus.

-Jesse?
-[squeals]

How about you help us, huh?
I promise, it's to help save the world.

Yeah, sounds complicated.

I'd prefer you just handing over
the thingy.

[Axel] Get back here with that!

I am Nohr, and I shall use this amulet
to find Magnus and become the new--

No!

[griefers laughing]

Bunch of noobs!

-Hey, are they going the same way?
-They're working together.

This is just how we do it in Boomtown!

Which one took the amulet?

I'll get the one with the fishing pole,
you get the little blue-haired creep!

[panting]

-Think fast!
-Whoa!

Your training is coming along nicely,
noob!

Just give me the amulet!

Jeez, pal, no need to shout.
Here you--

-[expl*si*n]
-[Jesse] Whoa!

My turn!

[laughs]

[shouts]

[Jesse and griefer grunting]

[squeals]

-Hey, did Nohr come this way?
-Yeah, and she had the amulet again.

Stop right there!

How about no? [laughs]

Ah! These bricks will take forever
to punch through.

Luckily, I think I found us
a punch-free entrance.

[grunts, panting]

Okay, little amulet, show me the way.

Of course, not sure what I'll do
when I get there,

but that's Future Nohr's problem.

I bet Future Nohr is very successful.

[shouts]

[Jesse grunting]

Give it back!
This is more important than you know!

-[fuse hissing]
-Uh-oh!

[shouts, groans]

Ha! Nice!
What did I tell you about teamwork?

[Nohr] What? I'm the one who said
we should work together.

-No, you didn't! Give me that!
-Give it back!

-Got it! I actually got it!
-[Nohr] Quick! Flush them out!

-[fuse hissing]
-[gasps]

-[expl*si*n]
-[grunts]

[sighs]

-[clamoring]
-[Jesse gasps]

Axel, Magnus is somewhere
in that building above us.

He's gotta be close!

Then quick, toss me the amulet!

You're surrounded by griefers
and they're gonna tear you apart!

Well?

Jesse, we need to move now!

Axel, no offense,

but I am not letting this thing
out of my sight, or my hand, ever again.

Don't worry, man. I got this.

Okay, well, hurry. I'll try and cover you.

Guys! Hey, guys! I've got the amulet!

Hey! I hate all the things
that guy is saying!

It makes me so mad!

Oh, for the love of-- [groans]

Oh, come on.

[metal clanks, rattles]

[screaming]

Stupid arrows!

[groans]

[shouting]

Ah! Oh, boy. [sighs]

Jesse, you made it.

[Jesse] You don't need
to sound so surprised.

Everything go okay?

Long story!

Lots of throwing eggs at griefers.

Well, sounds exciting.

Totally was.
You still got the amulet?

Yep! Let's go!
Look out for booby traps, okay?

-[both screaming]
-[squeals]

-[squealing]
-[both grunting]

[Magnus] You are completely surrounded
by hundreds of hidden death traps.

One step closer... and kaboom!

[Axel] It's Magnus!

We totally got caught by Magnus!

[groans]

I think we're gonna die now.

Did you think you could sneak up on me?

Ha! You're two of the worst griefers
I've ever met.

And a pig? Really?

Hardly stealthy.

[squeals, snorts]

Oh, yeah?
Well "oink, oink, oink" to you, pork chop!

Hey, no griefers here. No way.

We came from way out of town to find you.

Oh, really?

I mean, that guy,
he's got griefer written all over him.

Yeah, well, that's because
he's your biggest fan!

Look at him!

I mean, not, like, biggest fan.

Right. So tell me something,
"not griefers."

-How'd you find me?
-Gabriel sent us on this mission.

Gabriel? [laughs]

You're seriously telling me
you're buddy-buddy with Gabriel?

You know how often people try
and tell me that one?

-This is all sounding pretty weird, dudes.
-[Jesse screams]

Who are you, really? Why are you here?

The world is being destroyed.

You have me intrigued. Go on.

There's a huge monster eating up
the entire world, and nothing can stop it.

That's why Gabriel told us
to reunite the Order.

Magnus, you've gotta come with us.
You might be the only chance we have!

Give me one reason why, for even a second,
I should come with you.

You're supposed to be a hero, Magnus.

And right now,
the world needs a hero.

You can come with us
and help stop this disaster.

All this stuff you've told me,

you expect me
to just take your word for it?

Two strangers with wild stories...

and nothing to show for it.

Except an amulet that's not theirs.

Are you that paranoid?
Do you really not trust anyone?

That's how I've survived this long.

Please, just trust us.
Just for a minute, okay?

Okay, okay, you sold me.
I'm in.

-[explosions]
-[squealing]

Oh, but we might have a little bit
of a problem getting out of here.

-[laughs]
-[Axel] Huh?

You're Magnus.
You can just walk outta here.

Hello! I don't know if you've looked
around this place,

but, uh, it's kind of full of griefers.

But that's kind of awesome, right?

No.

You've heard about the whole "challenging
the king for his crown" thing, right?

It's, like, their thing.

So long as I'm king,
I can't leave this tower.

But you're Magnus.
No one can beat you.

And that's the problem.

Simply put,
that's life as King of Boomtown.

[laughs]

Just choose a new king
and then come with us.

Look, I've beaten them dozens of times,

and none are worthy.

They'll see right through it.

But you, ha!
You're the newcomer with the gold amulet.

By now, there'll probably be all sorts
of rumors about how awesome you are.

If you beat me,
then I'll be able to leave.

Can't believe I didn't think of it before!

They're gonna call this
"the fight of the century"!

Yeah, but assuming I won,
wouldn't I be stuck here, then?

Nah, you're not as legendary as me.

Should be easy enough
to throw another fight

or just give up the crown
with way lower-level griefers.

The trick is don't become a legend.

But looking at you, [chuckles]
I don't think, uh...

Well, anyway.

[chuckles] Oh, this is gonna be good.

I'm actually excited about this.

But we gotta make sure it looks legit.

The Death Bowl has never seen
the carnage that we're about to create.

Uh, what's the Death Bowl?

This is the Death Bowl!

I love mayhem!

Peekaboom!

Welcome, ladies and gentlegriefers,
to the Death Bowl!

In one corner, we have Magnus,
your King of Boomtown,

prepared to defend his title and crown.

So, Tiny, welcome to the Death Bowl,

the grief-off to end all grief-offs.

How do you wanna fake this?

We'll start off small,
and then I'll throw some TNT at you.

Just let it graze you and then
we'll call it a finish, all right?

Okay. Something about TNT.
Awesome.

And you, what name do you go by?

They call me "the Amulet Holder."

You heard the name, folks.

Give a big Death Bowl welcome

to the Amulet Holder!

Then let's begin!

Opponents will craft
their own griefing towers,

which they will then use
to grief each other.

-The only rule is...
-[griefer] That there are no rules!

[announcer] No eye poking.

Other than that, go crazy!

Seriously. Oh!

Amulet Holder,
pick your building material.

-And, Magnus, you--
-Nah, I'm good.

Brought my own supply.

Let the griefing begin!

[crowd cheering]

Some stone.

-Some... hmm... pink wool?
-[squeals]

Pink wool it is.

Hmm, not bad, not bad.

Guess it'll have to do.

Axel, what are you doing over there
on his side?

Yeah, thought you might bring that up.

It's just that Reuben
wanted to take your corner,

and I didn't wanna crowd him or anything,
so I thought I'd watch from over here.

[Magnus] Take your best shot!

Ya!

And that's how you shouldn't throw an egg.

Ha! You grief with me,
you grief with the best. [groans]

[chicken clucking]

So, Amulet Holder,
taking an amulet isn't enough.

You need to take my crown as well?

I do not discriminate
in my accessory-taking.

Your crown shall be mine.

[clucking]

You are but a student.

Prepare yourself,

for I am here to give you
your final lesson.

[groans]

Er, um, that was just a warning.

What? A warning that you need glasses?

It seems the student
has become the master,

and the Amulet Holder will win the day.

[griefer] Don't know what that means,
but I love it

and want to put it on a T-shirt.

Ah!

But what happened to getting hit
by my TNT?

Nobody messes with the Boom Master!

Uh-oh.

Jesse? Jesse, you okay?

Had enough yet?

All righty, I think Noob Time is over.

We've had some nice laughs,
but now they must come to a close...

and you should run home.

And what part
of throwing the fight was that?

What say you, noob?

I am king, and those who challenge me
will be annihilated.

Jesse, I think he just lost it.

Magnus, craft a cannon!

Yeah, finish him with a cannon!

If it's a cannon you want,
it's a cannon you'll get!

Yep, he's completely lost it.
Dude's going for the k*ll.

Jesse, you'd better craft the--
I don't know, greatest thing of your life.

Like, right now!

Well, there's still some material
in the chest.

[Axel] That's it, Jesse. Go!

Hey, Axel, check it out.
That should hold him.

Yeah. It's... Yeah, um...
Yeah, it might do.

But, Jesse, look.

[laughing maniacally]

But you were supposed to throw the fight.

[laughing maniacally]

-[Axel] Jesse, look out!
-[gasps]

[laughing]

[squealing]

[groans]

[snorting]

-Get off! No pigs allowed!
-[squealing]

Stuff!

I got cool stuff coming your way.

I got you an arrow for your bow.
I think it's enchanted.

A bow? In a cannon fight?

Axel, there are all sorts
of clichéd lines about this.

Yeah, but the TNT, inside the cannon!

TNT plus arrow...

Oh, yeah.

-Time to see how well you fly, pig.
-Reuben!

-Boom!
-[squealing]

I gotcha, I gotcha.

Man, you smell delicious right now.

Hey, Magnus!

Yeah, short stuff?

Flying pig jokes are totally played out.

[laughing maniacally]

[shouts]

[explosions]

-[screaming]
-[snorts]

[all gasp]

[Magnus] No! [groans]

[screams, groans]

[sighs]

We have a winner!

The Amulet Holder!

[crowd cheering]

Gonna say something there, champ?

It's just the winner sometimes,
I don't know, gives a speech.

Pontificates.

Orates. Say something.

Who likes explosions?

That's right. Yeah, you do.

And that's why I'm standing up here today.

Well, you guys ready, then?

[laughs] Oh, yeah!

This'll be a way easier target
than Magnus.

Wait. What's going on?

Oh, well, that's not good.

Is that your Wither Storm?

[growling]

How are we--?
What are we--? That's...

[all screaming]

Oh, no. Oh, no.

No! Oh, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no!

Magnus, come on.

-You'll regret messing with Boomtown!
-Go!

Okay, just a little farther.

Wow! Someone really went bonkers
with the defenses, huh? [chuckles]

-[squeals]
-[both grunt]

-[hissing]
-[screams]

-Whoa!
-[Lukas] Who goes there?

Oh, Jesse? Is that you?

Lukas, did you build all of this?

Well, yeah. I figured I would
try and fortify the place, you know?

[Jesse chuckles] Nice!

Quick, come on.

You guys are never gonna believe
who showed up while you were gone.

Gabriel!

Hello, everyone.

It is good to see you.

He showed up not too long before you guys.

Magnus, my old friend.

You always were a tough cookie
to keep down.

[Magnus chuckles]

It's good to see you.

It's good to see you, too,
you old meathead.

Aw.

And it's especially good
to see you, Jesse.

I feared that you might be
the last face I ever saw.

Getting here was hard.

It's such a relief to see you.
I'm glad you're okay.

If you hadn't pulled me out
of the Wither Storm's clutches...

Well, let's just not think about that.

I came here to the temple,

hoping against hope
to find other survivors.

Wow! Did Petra get away, too?
Did you see?

All that creature left in its wake
was bedrock.

All those people...

Your friend Petra...

No one could get away.

We are alive,
and that means there's still hope.

Come along.
Everyone else is still inside.

Wow! Been a while since I've been here.

Whoa.

What is she doing here?

Oh, this isn't going to go well.

Right. Um, I forgot to mention.

Olivia went on a little expedition
of her own while you were gone.

And this "Olivia" person
came back with her?

Did you know about this?

Jesse, Jesse!
Look, I found Ellegaard!

Just hang on a sec, okay?

-I'll go figure out what's going on.
-Good. You do that.

Easy now, Olivia.
Let's try and play it cool, hmm?

So, who are you, now?
And why did you bring him with you?

Yeah, and you two are going
to have to get along, okay?

We didn't even know
you were gonna be here.

If he's nice, I'll be nice, too.

It was kind of crazy, actually.

I went to Redstonia,

and there were all these incredible
engineers and inventors.

It was a little intimidating, actually.

-But Ellegaard's made me her protégé.
-Well, assistant for now.

She might have,
well, embarrassed herself a tiny bit.

Yeah. But after I pled my case,
she agreed to take me on as her assistant

and come back to help.

Not bad, right?

Well, I'm the King of Boomtown.

Very impressive.

Oh, hooray! It's Ellie!

And here I was
just starting to enjoy myself.

Hello, Magnus.

Your voice is exactly as pleasant
as I remember.

Which is to say, not at all.

Ow! My feelings!

Is that the same wit
you're gonna use to save the world?

[Ellegaard] Why? You here to tell me
how to do it better?

[Magnus] Oh!
I would never dream of doing that.

Unlike you, I actually do things
instead of just talking about them.

Hey, that's Ellegaard you're talking to.
Show her some respect.

Wow! You finally found yourself
a live one.

Hey!

Your little devotees are usually
a little more on the bookish side.

Leave her out of this, Magnus.
This is between the two of us.

Oh! I started ignoring her ages ago.

Olivia, I'd just stay out of this.

-But--
-Your friend's right, Olivia.

I've got this just fine on my own.

Uh, people, can we please focus
on the bigger picture?

We have a very hungry Wither Storm

in the process of turning the whole world
into its dinner.

Yeah, I'll admit,
that thing looked real nasty.

And I've seen some nasty stuff in my time.

Too much for you, was it?
Your usual brutish approach didn't cut it?

Hey, you weren't there, all right?

You didn't see how this thing
just tore everything up.

You've never seen anything like it.

Would you two stop fighting?!

-Whoa!
-Yikes.

Jesse speaks the truth.

We must find a way
to defeat that monstrosity.

Don't know if you've looked around yet,

but this place isn't the stronghold
it used to be.

Most of our supplies are gone.

It would take a mountain of TNT
to k*ll that thing.

I hate to say it, but you have a point.

Can we start crafting some, then?

I don't think we got that kind of time.

If only Soren were here.
He might have something we could use.

Oh, Ellie, not this again.

There's something stronger than TNT?

Soren had a kind of super TNT,

stronger and more expl*sive
than anything else in the world.

The formidi-b*mb.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I've heard all about the F-b*mb before.

Well, the formidi-b*mb sounds perfect.
We should go get it now.

Well, there's a little problem there.

We don't know where Soren is.

But you found us.
Do you know where he is?

[Ellegaard] Our map could locate him.

Unless he's in the Nether or the End.

But it's worth a shot.

I bet we can find him.

Jesse, do you still have
the amulet I gave you?

Of course.

All right, there's your light, my light...

That's new.

There he is.

Soren had his fortress
deep inside the mountains.

After the Order broke up,

that's where he went
to keep doing his experiments.

Look, he invited me there a couple times,
but it always seemed a little...

Weird, right?
It always seemed a little weird.

Then let's stop hanging around here
and go get us some super TNT.

Whoa!

Blue? Blue?

That's Ivor!

Ivor is going to Soren's!
We need to move!

It's not too far,
we could probably make it on foot.

Perfect.

We can wait till tomorrow morning
and travel with a full day's sunlight.

Uh, and risk that thing
catching up with us?

Think I've had enough Wither Storm
for one day, thank you very much.

Right, because getting caught out there
in the dark is so much better.

I don't want the Wither Storm
catching up with us. We should go now.

Okay, everyone, let's get moving.

-Jesse, right?
-Oh, hello.

We haven't had the chance
to acquaint ourselves properly.

According to Gabriel,
you saved him from this Wither Storm.

Sounds like
you're a pretty impressive individual.

I'm just doing my best
to keep everyone safe.

I can always appreciate humility.
I like you.

A slight tangent.
What's the deal with your friend Olivia?

I appreciate her enthusiasm,
but she can be a little much sometimes.

She's always very eager
to jump in and help.

Which is sweet, of course,

though sometimes I wish she would think
a bit more before jumping in.

Especially when she keeps getting in
over her head.

I don't know if you caught this,
but she's, like, your biggest fan.

You probably make her nervous.

That's an excellent point.
Hadn't thought about that.

Seems like you respect her a lot.

Why didn't you listen to her plan
to come and recruit me?

I figured that we needed firepower,

and no one knows destruction
better than Magnus.

The man does know how to blow things up
with reckless abandon, that's for sure.

I'll do my best
to not let it hurt my feelings.

Ha! Joke. That was a joke.

[Wither Storm growling]

Uh, guys?

[growling]

I told you it was gonna catch up with us!

Oh, my. You really weren't kidding.

No. How could it find me again?

We can hash all that out later.
Come on, we gotta get out of here!

Will this creature never stop?

Soren's isn't much farther.
We can make it!

[panting]

I am getting very tired
of this Wither Storm.

Agreed.

Soren's place has gotta be just ahead.
Come on!

[squealing]

Soren really lived down here?

It's so far from... anyone.

-Enchanting, isn't it?
-[coughing]

[Lukas] Yeah, and I'm really not feeling
those columns.

Aw, come on. It's fine. Look!

Whoo!

-[snorting]
-[Olivia and Lukas grunt]

-Just don't fall, okay?
-[squeals]

[grunts]

Oh, that is deep.
That is very, very deep.

-[screams]
-[squealing]

Hang on! I'm coming!

-[squealing]
-[screaming]

[grunts]

[Enderman grunting]

[Jesse] Oh, man. We've got Endermen.

[Reuben squealing]

[Lukas] Ah!

It was, uh... [chuckles] more of a drop
than I was expecting.

[Enderman grunting]

-[Lukas] Endermen.
-[Jesse] There are so many.

I didn't think they ever came
in groups that big.

No kidding.
It's like an Enderman party.

I heard your voice and thought
I would come down to help. [chuckles]

I don't understand.
How did you escape?

You pulled me out
of that Wither Storm's clutches,

and I ran and ran and ran for the temple.

If you hadn't saved me...

Well, I owe you everything, Jesse.

Wow! Did Gabriel get away, too?
Did you see?

It's all a blur, but the Wither Storm
left almost nothing behind.

Everything, everyone was just gone.

It even got Gabriel.

Wow! Been a while since I've been here.

Whoa!

What is she doing here?

Call this a hunch,
but do you two not like each other?

Right. Um, I forgot to mention.

Olivia went on a little expedition
of her own while you were gone.

And this "Olivia" person
came back with her?

Did you know about this?

Jesse, Jesse! Look, I found Ellegaard!

Just hang on a sec, okay?
I'll go figure out what's going on.

Good. You do that.

Easy now, Olivia.
Let's try and play it cool, hmm?

So, who are you, now?
And why did you bring him with you?

I don't understand. How did you escape?

If you hadn't pulled me out
of the Wither Storm's clutches...

Well, let's just not think about that.

I came here to the temple,

hoping against hope
to find other survivors.

Easy now, Olivia.
Let's try and play it cool, hmm?

So, who are you, now?
And why did you bring him with you?

Hey, come on, Magnus is awesome

and he's gonna help us stop
this Wither Storm.

You really believe that?

[scoffs] Wow.

It was kind of crazy, actually.

I went to Redstonia,

and there were all these incredible
engineers and inventors.

It was a little intimidating, actually.

This is between the two of us.

Oh, I started ignoring her ages ago.

Magnus, as the ruler of Boomtown,
I command you to shut up.

Is that so?

Uh, people, can we please focus
on the bigger picture?

We have a very hungry Wither Storm

in the process of turning the whole world
into its dinner.

Yeah, I'll admit,
that thing looked real nasty.

I'm very curious to see it.
I've never actually seen it work before.

All right, there's your light, my light...

That's new.

There he is.

Soren had his fortress

-Just don't fall, okay?

Oh, that is deep.
That is very, very deep.

Luck sometimes visits
the most unskilled of us,

but it never lingers.

Skill, mastery, these are the things
that will see you defeated!

Magnus, craft a cannon!

Yeah, finish him with a cannon!

If it's a cannon you want,
it's a cannon you'll get!

Yep, he's completely lost it.
Dude's going for the k*ll.

Jesse, you'd better craft the--
I don't know, greatest thing of your life.

Like, right now.

Well, there's still some material
in the chest.

[Axel] That's it, Jesse. Go!

Hey, Axel, check it out.
That should hold him.

Yeah. It's... Yeah, um...
Yeah, it might do.

But, Jesse, look.

[laughing maniacally]

But you were supposed to throw the fight.

[laughing maniacally]

-[Axel] Jesse, look out!
-[gasps]

[laughing]

[squealing]

[groans]

Luck sometimes visits
the most unskilled of us,

but it never lingers.

Skill, mastery, these are the things
that will see you defeated!

Magnus, craft a cannon!

Yeah, finish him with a cannon!

If it's a cannon you want,
it's a cannon you'll get!

Yep, he's completely lost it.
Dude's going for the k*ll.

Jesse, you'd better craft the--
I don't know, greatest thing of your life.

Like, right now.

Well, there's still some material
in the chest.

[Axel] That's it, Jesse. Go!

Hey, Axel, check it out.
That should hold him.

Yeah. It's... Yeah, um...
Yeah, it might do.

But, Jesse, look.

[laughing maniacally]

But you were supposed to throw the fight.

[laughing maniacally]

-[Axel] Jesse, look out!
-[gasps]

[laughing]

[squealing]

[groans]

[snorting]

-Get off! No pigs allowed!
-[squealing]

Stuff! I got cool stuff coming your way!

I got you a bow and some arrows.

A bow?
In a cannon fight?

Axel, there are all sorts
of clichéd lines about this.

Yeah, but the TNT, inside the cannon!

-TNT plus arrow...
-Oh, yeah.

-Time to see how well you fly, pig.
-Reuben!

-Boom!
-[squealing]

I gotcha, I gotcha.

Man, you smell delicious right now.

Hey, Magnus!

Yeah, short stuff?

Flying pig jokes are totally played out.

[laughing maniacally]

[shouts]

[explosions]

-[screaming]
-[snorts]

[all gasp]

[Magnus] No! [groans]

[screams, groans]

[sighs]

We have a winner!

The Amulet Holder!

[crowd cheering]

Gonna say something there, champ?

It's just the winner sometimes,
I don't know, gives a speech.

Pontificates.

Orates. Say something.

[snorting]

-Get off! No pigs allowed!
-[squealing]

Stuff! I got cool stuff coming your way!

I got you a bow and some arrows.

A bow? In a cannon fight?

Axel, there are all sorts

Yeah, but the TNT, inside the cannon!

-TNT plus arrow...
-Oh, yeah.

-Time to see how well you fly, pig.
-Reuben!

-Boom!

I gotcha, I gotcha.

Man, you smell delicious right now.

Hey, Magnus!

Yeah, short stuff?

Flying pig jokes are totally played out.

[laughing maniacally]

[shouts]

[explosions]

-[screaming]
-[snorts]

[all gasp]

[Magnus] No! [groans]

[screams, groans]

[sighs]

We have a winner!

The Amulet Holder!

[crowd cheering]

Gonna say something there, champ?

It's just the winner sometimes,
I don't know, gives a speech.

Pontificates.

Orates. Say something.

Hello, Boomtown!
How we all doing, huh?

Hey, that's awesome, that's awesome.

I'm so proud to be standing
in front of you all today.

Well, you guys ready, then?

[laughs] Oh, yeah!

This'll be a way easier target
than Magnus.

Wait. What's going on?

Oh, well, that's not good.

Is that your Wither Storm?

[growling]

How are we--? What are we--? That's...

[all screaming]

Oh, no. Oh, no!

No! Oh, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no!

Magnus, come on.

-You'll regret messing with Boomtown!
-Go!

Hello, Boomtown!
How we all doing, huh?

Hey, that's awesome, that's awesome.

I'm so proud to be standing
in front of you all today.

Well, you guys ready, then?

[laughs] Oh, yeah!

This'll be a way easier target
than Magnus.

Wait. What's going on?

Oh, well, that's not good.

Is that your Wither Storm?

[growling]

How are we--? What are we--? That's...

[all screaming]

Oh, no. Oh, no!

No! Oh, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no!

Magnus, come on.

-You'll regret messing with Boomtown.
-Go!

Seriously? Fishing?

It could work.

-[Jesse] Got it.
-[shrieks]

[grunting]

[shrieks]

Okay, we're all set to go again.

Time to move, buddy. Let's go.

-Hitting the powered tracks... now.
-[squeals]

I never doubted you for a second, but...
but that was incredible.

Maybe we have a chance
of getting to Ellegaard after all.

Look! There's the sign. "Redstonia"!

Redstonia, here we come!

You're about to meet the greatest
redstone builders in the world.

Wow! Who would've thought that someday
I'd really get to visit Redstonia,

Ellegaard's capital city of engineering?

Incredible!

Do you think Ellegaard will be willing,
you know, to help us?

[theme music playing]

Have you seen all these inventions?
These inventors are all incredible.

I might know redstone where we come from,
but these people are the real deal, Jesse.

I mean, I don't even know
how they're making some of these things.

[moos]

That's rare for me.

It could work.

We're gonna die.

[grunts]

-Got it!
-[shrieks]

[grunting]

-[Axel] Hit it, hit it, hit it!
-[grunting]

[shrieks]

[Axel grunts]

Time to move, buddy!
Let's go!

[Reuben squeals]

You were awesome, Jesse!

With that Ghast
and chasing the mine cart...

That is, like, the perfect warm-up
for when we get to Boomtown.

Boomtown?

[Axel] Yeah. Boomtown!

This is it.

[Reuben snorting]

I, uh, I think I'm gonna hold off

on the whole "going first" thing
for a while, Jesse.

How about you take this one?

[theme music playing]

-[screaming]
-[Reuben squeals]

[both screaming, grunting]

Just be careful, okay? One wrong step...

[both scream]

[panting, screams]

[panting]

-[screams]
-[Jesse gasps]

[expl*si*n]

[clucking]

-[Jesse panting]
-Whoa! You see that?

Utter chaos, man!

[squeals]

[griefer] Your loot is mine, brigand!
[laughs]

[Nohr chuckles]
You'll have to catch me first, anvil foot!

-[expl*si*n]
-Whoa!

Um, I hope they're okay.

And if they're not,
at least they died doing what they loved.

Well, here you have it, Jesse.

Boomtown in all its glory!
What do you think?

Wow. Boomtown sure does
keep you on your toes.

Exciting stuff, huh?

Yeah! Yeah!
Now you're getting it!

Dude, it's freaking glowing!

Dude, I think you're onto something there.

This is so cool!

The amount of engineering
it must've taken to do this...

Automated train tracks
running all through the Nether?

Connecting all the different
Order members?

This is impressive!

Thanks to these rails,
we'll be there in no time!

If we don't get the Order back together,

the Wither Storm
is going to eat everything.

We're going to get Ellegaard,
get her to help us,

and we're going to save the world.

I hope you're right.

We definitely stand a better chance
with Ellegaard's help.

Uh, Jesse!

-[Reuben snorts]
-[gasps]

-[Ghast shrieks]
-[Jesse screams]

[Reuben squeals]

Ow, ow, ow!

[Jesse] The mine carts!

Great. More Ghasts.

[Ghast shrieks]

[Olivia] Do something about the Ghast!

Okay, think fast, Jesse. What to choose?

[shrieks]

[shouts]

[shrieks]

[grunts]

[shrieks]

Okay, we're all set to go again.

Time to move, buddy! Let's go!

Hitting the powered tracks... now!

I never doubted you for a second, but...
but that was incredible!

Maybe we have a chance
of getting to Ellegaard after all!

Look! There's the sign!"Redstonia"!

Redstonia, here we come!

You're about to meet the greatest
redstone builders in the world.

Wow! Who would've thought that someday
I'd really get to visit Redstonia,

Ellegaard's capital city of engineering?

Incredible!

Do you think Ellegaard will be willing,
you know, to help us?

[theme music playing]

Have you seen all these inventions?
These inventors are all incredible.

I might know redstone where we come from,
but these people are the real deal, Jesse.

I mean, I don't even know
how they're making some of these things.

[moos]

That's rare for me.

Even if you're intimidated,
maybe you could talk to them.

They could teach you cool stuff
about what they know.

Yeah, maybe.

[Ellegaard] Builders of Redstonia!

-Jesse, there she is.
-I want you to know how much I value

and adore each and every one of you.

Your hard work inspires me every day.

I am about to enter
my Dome of Concentration,

where I'll be unreachable
for the foreseeable future,

but I will emerge when I complete
my latest and greatest creation,

-the command block!
-[cheering, applause]

[Ellegaard] So please, continue working,
continue building.

And whichever person most impresses me,
they shall be my protégé.

[crowd] Ooh!

[Ellegaard] Ready to help usher in
a new era of innovation and creativity.

Calvin, throw the switch!

Jesse, we need to get there
before she totally locks herself in.

[thudding]

So, Ellegaard's trying to make
a command block in there?

I don't know, Jesse.
That sounds pretty risky.

You saw what happened when Ivor tried
to control a command block.

Excuse me, Mr. Calvin, was it?

We need to speak to Ellegaard.
It's urgent.

Oh, I'm afraid that's quite impossible.
Did you hear the speech?

She's on lockdown until she completes
her next great invention.

I have a message from Gabriel, okay?
Ellegaard's old friend?

I'm afraid I have many more things
to attend to

than answering all of your questions.

I must go.

Better just take this repeater
and disable the stair controls.

We don't want any troublemakers
disturbing Ellegaard.

Guess we'll need to get another repeater.

We need three stone, two redstone torches,
and one pile of redstone dust to make one.

Right.

You must be here to see
my incredible auto farmer.

Why waste time planting sugarcane
when it could be planting itself?

You got a repeater?

Sorry, already used all mine.
I got some redstone torches, though.

Here, take these as a token
of my gratitude.

That's some primo crafting material
right there.

Awesome. Thanks.

[objects clattering]

Oh, man! Stone! Jackpot!

[screams]

Hi, there!

I like you, sport.
Here, have some redstone dust.

Dust from a strange man.

Cool.

Okay. I can do this.

Redstone repeater, redstone repeater,
redstone repeater...

[thumping]

Done! Pretty nice,
if I may compliment myself.

Okay, that's a step
in the right direction.

Bam! Door opened!

Switch is on!

Okay, good, good.

Wow. Here it is,
Ellegaard's redstone laboratory.

Seems more like an entrance
or a foyer or something.

-[snorting]
-Don't worry, pal, we'll find her.

I just hope she can actually help us.

[Reuben squealing]

That might be the most redstone stuff
I've ever seen in my life.

[Olivia] You can say that again.

She's moving a lot
of different ingredients around here.

Man. Look at all this, huh?

Whatever she's working on,
if it requires all of these ingredients,

it must be something really, really big.

Now, I don't want to alarm you, Olivia,

but I have no idea
what I'm looking at here.

I don't know what it is yet, either.
That's why I'm studying it.

Come on.
Let's keep moving.

Seems like this place
has really blown you away.

You're not kidding.

This is like everything
I've ever dreamed of.

[whooshing]

This is just like I dreamt it.

Entering Ellegaard's laboratory,
seeing her right there.

She'll ask me to be her apprentice,

and next thing you know,
we'll be changing the world together.

Let's just try to save the world first.

Whoa. Hi! Hey!
Didn't see you sneaking up on me.

Guess that's the point.

Don't touch anything in here, okay?
It's all supremely fragile and genius.

Did Calvin send you?
Are you my new assistants?

New assistants
with a stupidly adorable pig, that is!

[chuckles]

Jesse, she thinks
we're her new assistants.

This is so exciting.

-Ellegaard--
-No time for specifics, I'm afraid.

Hey, you, Goggle Girl.

Switch on that T-flop circuit
to activate the delivery chutes.

And, you, grab me a blaze rod
and an iron block.

She wants me to do something for her.

What if I screw it up? What if I--?
Oh, I feel lightheaded.

-[thuds]
-[Reuben snorting]

Wow. Now I need an assistant
to help with my assistant.

Think you can handle it on your own?

Olivia! Olivia? Can you hear me?

I don't think
that I've ever fainted before.

-[groans] So embarrassing.
-Everything working over--? Oh.

Hmm.

Fine. I'll do it myself, then.

[whirring]

Come on, come on, come on.

Big winner, big winner, big...

loser!

[groans]

Trial number 6,451, another bust.

-Now, about you three...
-[Reuben squeals]

Uh, your friend here,
does she fall over frequently?

Is this gonna be a regular occurrence?

I-- No. I'm sorry.
I was just so excited to--

And with me always pacing around,
lost in my own brilliant thoughts.

I could have tripped over you
and conked my brain!

Brilliant thoughts, gone. [chuckles]

I could see that.

Well, that seems a little unfair
to blame Olivia.

It's not her fault
that she was so excited.

How in the world did she get this
assistant position in the first place?

Well, that's the thing.

We're actually here to get your help.

There's a giant Wither Storm
and it's attacking the entire world.

A Wither what?

What are you talking about?
Who-- Who sent you?

Gabriel sent me.

Look, you both seem like very pleasant
people who are prone to fainting,

but I simply don't have
the brain power for this.

I'm in the middle
of my greatest project to date,

a powerful block capable
of altering reality itself.

I've seen one of those before.
It's a command block.

Wait, wait, wait. Wait.
How do you know what a command block is?

We've seen one up close before.
It was Ivor's.

He's done something terrible with it.

The world needs the Order of the Stone.
That's why we're here.

Ugh, sorry to bust your circuits,

but the Order
isn't really together anymore.

We, uh, sort of disassembled.

That's actually kind of why we're here.

Gabriel's amulet.

Yes, he gave it to me
so that I could find the Order.

Your Wither Storm problem
was created by a command block, yes?

That means a command block
could be the perfect way of beating it!

-And maybe--
-Will you help me make one?

It's going to work this time.
I can feel it.

Right here, in my brain.

I could help, too.

You're the genius, Ellegaard.
Let's get started.

Fantastic!

-[grunts]
-[objects clatter]

[snorts]

[whirring]

Okay! Okay! Excellent! Good!
This is so exciting, terribly exciting!

-Has it gotten this far before?
-No! Never!

Is it destabilizing?

-[grunts]
-[Jesse] No!

[squealing]

Ellegaard! Come on!

We need to go!
We need to get to the portal!

[growling]

[screams]

-[grunts]
-[squeals]

Over here!

[grunting]

[Ellegaard] This way!

-[gasps]
-Jesse!

[Reuben squealing]

[grunts]

[growling]

[Reuben squeals]

-[grunts]
-[Wither Storm growling]

Okay! Just a little farther!

Well. That's certainly impressive. Wow!

[grunts]

-[hissing]
-[screams]

Whoa!

[Lukas] Who goes there?

Oh, Jesse? Is that you?

Lukas, did you build all this?

Well, yeah.

I figured I would try and fortify
the place, you know?

[Jesse] Nice!

Quick! Come on!

You guys are never gonna believe
who showed up while you were gone.

Petra!

Hey, guys. How's it going?

[squealing]

[Olivia] I'm so glad you're okay, Petra.

Yeah, I'm pretty stoked about it myself.

And it's really good to see you, Jesse.

Back there in Gabriel's bunker,
it got pretty dicey.

It's such a relief to see you.
I'm glad you're okay.

You pulled me out
of that Wither Storm's clutches,

and I ran and ran and ran for the temple.

If you hadn't saved me...

Well, I owe you everything, Jesse.

Wow. Did Gabriel get away, too?
Did you see?

It's all a blur, but the Wither Storm
left almost nothing behind.

Everything, everyone was just gone.

It even got Gabriel.

I wouldn't believe that anything
could defeat Gabriel

if I hadn't seen it for myself.

This is terrible.

Boy, can't remember the last time
I saw this place.

Would someone care to explain
what he is doing here?

Call this a hunch,
but do you two not like each other?

Right. I forgot to mention.

Axel went on a little adventure of his own
while you were gone.

An adventure to get him?

Did you know about this?

Look, just wait here a second
while I figure out what's going on.

Much appreciated.

So, who are you, then?

And why did you bring
the Queen of the Nerds with you?

That's Jesse, my best friend.

Trust me, Jesse's totally cool.

I'll... [chuckles]
I'll be the judge of that, huh?

Yeah, and you two
are going to have to get along, okay?

We didn't even know
you were gonna be here.

That makes two of us, then.
But reversed for me.

I got tired of waiting around,
so I decided to go recruit Magnus myself.

It was kind of a crazy adventure,
but it all worked out in the end.

And now I'm the King of Boomtown!

Boomtown?

That's the name of Magnus' kingdom.
I had to beat him in a crazy tournament--

Long story. You had to be there.

Short version: epic battle
of explosions and mayhem,

death-defying-action shenanigans
and pyrotechnics.

Badabing, badaboom!

Your friend here is kind of supreme ruler
of my kingdom now.

You know what I mean.

Well, this is unexpected.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean,

but I'm definitely sure
that I don't like it.

Yeah. Show him some respect.

Oh, you're sticking up for Magnus.
That's very sweet.

Yeah, he's sticking up for me.

It's because I'm really awesome
and super cool.

I'll never understand your fans.

Axel, not your fight.
Stay out of it.

-But--
-Your friend has a point.

I can fight my own battles.

Uh, people, can we please focus
on the bigger picture?

We have a very hungry Wither Storm

in the process of turning
the whole world into its dinner.

It was terrifying.

It came out of nowhere
and just destroyed everything.

A little too scary for you, Ellie?

Couldn't just think it away?

You weren't there, Magnus.

I'm telling you, this thing
was like nothing I've ever seen.

Why? Because it's never come inside
one of your little workshops?

Would you two stop fighting?!

-Whoa!
-Yikes.

Jesse's right. We need to find
some way to stop that thing.

I don't know if you've had the chance
to poke around this old dump yet,

but it's pretty much stripped bare.

It would take a mountain of TNT
to k*ll that thing.

I hate to say it, but you have a point.

Can we start crafting some, then?

I don't think we got that kind of time.

If only Soren were here,
he might have something we could use.

Oh, Ellie, not this again.

There's something stronger than TNT?

Soren had a kind of super TNT,

stronger and more expl*sive
than anything else in the world.

The formidi-b*mb.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I've heard all about the F-b*mb before.

Well, the formidi-b*mb sounds perfect.
We should go get it now!

Well, there's a little problem there.

We don't know where Soren is.

But you found us.
Do you know where he is?

[Ellegaard] Our map could locate him.

Unless he's in the Nether or the End.

But it's worth a shot.

I bet we can find him.

I'm very curious to see it.
I've never actually seen it work before.

All right, there's your light, my light...

That's new.

There he is.

Soren had his fortress
deep inside the mountains.

After the Order broke up,

that's where he went to keep doing
his experiments.

Look, he invited me there a couple times,
but it always seemed a little--

Weird, right?
It always seemed a little weird.

Then let's stop hanging around here
and go get us some super TNT!

Whoa.

Blue. Blue!

That's Ivor!

Ivor is going to Soren's!
We need to move.

It's not too far.
We could probably make it on foot.

Righteous. We'll get some rest
and head out first thing in the morning,

[mockingly] avoiding all the nighttime
and monsters and everything.

If you had seen that monster,
you wouldn't be saying that.

We need to leave now.

Yeah, I don't want the Wither Storm
catching up with us.

We should go now.

Okay, everyone, let's get moving.

Yo, we haven't really gotten
the chance to chat yet.

Oh. Hello.

I heard you saved your friend
from this Wither Storm thing.

You're pretty tough, huh?

I'm just doing my best
to keep everyone safe.

Humility. Nice. I can dig it.

What's the deal with your buddy Axel?

Can't tell if he's awesome
or a little bit of a dork.

He's just a little, uh, doofy, you know?

He's like a little puppy.

You don't know whether
you wanna hug it or just walk away.

You know what I'm talking about?

Axel's one of my best friends.

He makes me laugh
and he always sticks up for his friends.

Interesting. Very interesting.

Then why didn't you listen to his plan
to come get me?

I figured we that needed brains
to fight the Wither Storm, and...

brains means Ellegaard.

Yeah. I've definitely heard that a lot.
[laughs]

I'll try not to let it hurt
my feelings too much.

Well, just keep on your toes.

[Wither Storm growling]

Uh, guys?

[growling]

I told you it was gonna catch up with us!

Oh, my. You really weren't kidding.

No. Not again.

Well, we can hash that out later!
Come on, we gotta get out of here.

Not again. Not again.

Soren's isn't much farther!
We can make it!

[panting]

I am getting very tired
of this Wither Storm.

Agreed.

Soren's place has gotta be just ahead!
Come on!

[squealing]

Soren really lived down here?

It's so far from... anyone.

-Enchanting, isn't it?
-[coughing]

[Lukas] Yeah, and I'm really not feeling
those columns.

Aw, come on! It's fine! Look!

Whoo!

-[snorting]
-[Olivia and Lukas grunt]

-[squealing]
-Just don't fall, okay?

[grunts]

Oh, that is deep.
That is very, very deep.

-[grunts]
-[squealing]

Hang on! I'm coming!

-[squealing]
-[screams]

[grunts]

[Enderman grunting]

[Jesse] Oh, man. We've got Endermen.

[Reuben squealing]

[Lukas] Ah!

It was, uh... [chuckles]
more of a drop than I was expecting.

[Enderman grunting]

-[Lukas] Endermen.
-[Jesse] There are so many.

I didn't think they ever came
in groups that big.

No kidding.
It's like an Enderman party.

I heard your voice and thought
I would come down to help. [chuckles]

Thanks for coming back, Lukas.
I mean that.

[Reuben squealing]

-[shrieks]
-[both screaming]

[Jesse grunts]

[grunts]

[screams]

[gasps]

[screams]

Reuben, jump!

[squeals]

[screams]

[Magnus] Oh, be quiet.
It's just a pointless building.

That's all I'm saying.
I mean, look at--

[Ellegaard] Magnus, if an artist painted
the inside of your mind,

he'd end up with the most extraordinary
desertscape paintings.

That's it. I'm going.

Once again, it falls to me
to take care of everything.

I'll find this super TNT myself!

[Magnus] Oh, no, no, no!

You do not get to be the one
who walks away.

That's it. I'm going.

See! I'm walking away, too, now.

Super TNT, here I come!

It's hard to pick "glass half full"
when they keep kicking the glass over.

Bickering is kind of their deal.

But hopefully they'll work things out
and get on with the important stuff.

What are we gonna do now?
Where should we go?

Let's figure it out.

-Petra? Are you okay?
-I'm sorry.

I don't mean to worry you.

I've just got something
I wanna discuss with you in private.

But let's split up.

I feel bad about ditching everyone else,

but I just wanted to talk to you
about this alone.

Hey, whatever it is, I trust you.
You can tell me.

Thanks for being so understanding.

You got me away from the Wither Storm,

but I'm worried
that I didn't get away soon enough.

What?

What is that?
What's wrong with your arm?

Do you know what Wither is?

The Wither? Of course. We've been--

No, Jesse. Just Wither,
or Wither sickness, I guess.

And I feel like it's just gonna keep
getting worse.

Well, we're going to go back
and tell the others.

We can get help.

You can't tell anyone about this.
[gasps]

[hissing]

Ah, creeper!

Ah!

Grab my hand. I'll pull you up.

[grunting]

[screams, groans]

Jesse, I just couldn't-- I'm sorry.

Jesse?

Are you okay?

[Reuben whimpering]

Don't worry, I'm fine!

Okay. I got this.

Stay safe. I'll find a way down to you.

[squealing]

[amulet chiming]

Hey, show yourself! Who's there?

[gasps] You.

Trying to interfere
with my plans again, I see.

What are you doing down here?

Being rudely interrupted by you, clearly.

I'm here with the Order
to find Soren's super TNT.

We're going to take down
your Wither Storm.

The Order? [laughs]

Believe me, that plan will blow up
in their faces in more ways than one.

They cannot help you.
But me? I choose not to.

Sorry, Ivor. I'm--

-Ah!
-Oh, you're not going anywhere.

Petra. You escaped? Hmm.

[chuckles]

Ha! Foolish girl! I--

Shut up.
I don't care what you have to say.

I'm just gonna take you down.

[Petra grunting]

[both grunting]

-I'm not letting him leave either.
-Good.

[grunts]

I'm the only one
who can stop the Wither Storm.

Not you! Not the Order!

Don't make yourselves the villains
in my story.

[Jesse shouts]

[both grunt]

-You're not going anywhere, creep.
-Ah!

This could have all been avoided.

If you wanna stop me,
you'll have to catch me first.

Jesse, look out!

You're not getting out of here
that easy, Ivor.

[laughs] I'm like the wind!

[both grunt]

Out of my way! [grunts]

I'll cut through you if I have to!

[Ivor screams]

Don't tempt your fate.

[Jesse screams]

[panting]

It didn't have to go this way, Jesse.
You could've just let me go. [laughs]

Now you see me, now you...

[Ivor laughing]

He could be anywhere.
Stay on your guard!

Vanish all you want, slime ball.
You're still not going anywhere.

-[grunts]
-[Ivor laughing]

-[grunts]
-[Ivor laughing]

[Ivor and Jesse grunt]

End of the rail, Ivor.
We're not letting you get away with this.

[Ivor] This one's on you,
you puffed-up fool.

[grunts]

[groans] There's no time for this.
[panting]

[panting]

-Jesse! Petra!
-[Ivor] Even more of you?

Will this parade of useless babblers
never cease?

-What's going on?
-We found Ivor.

-We stopped him.
-Jesse did, anyway.

False. You have stopped nothing.

A query.

Have you ever seen the effects
of a Splash Potion of Slowness?

What...

[in slo-mo] are you talking about?

You big jerk!

[Petra] Get back here!

Magnus and Ellegaard
may think they can stop me,

that they can destroy the Wither Storm,
but they are mistaken.

And it will cost them their lives.

[screams]

Whoo-hoo!

Aw, come on, Jesse.
You're not even having a little fun?

I mean, I am!

Just don't lose track
of why we're here, okay?

If we don't get the Order back together,

the Wither Storm
is going to eat everything.

That means we need to get to Magnus
as soon as freaking possible!

You know what? You're right.

We're gonna find Magnus, bring him back,

and he'll totally know
how to blow that thing sky-high.

Uh, dude!

-[snorts]
-[gasps]

-[Ghast shrieks]
-[both scream]

Ow, ow, ow!

[Jesse] The mine carts!

Why does it hate us so much?

[Ghast shrieks]

[Axel] Hurry! Use something on that Ghast.

Okay, think fast, Jesse.
What to choose?

[shouts]

[shrieks]

[grunts]

[shrieks]

[Axel grunts]

Time to move, buddy! Let's go!

[Reuben squeals]

You were awesome, Jesse!

With that Ghast,
and chasing the mine cart...

That is, like, the perfect warm-up
for when we get to Boomtown.

-Boomtown?
-Yeah. Boomtown!

This is it.

[Reuben snorting]

I, uh, think I'm gonna hold off

on the whole "going first" thing
for a while, Jesse.

How about you take this one?

[theme music playing]

-[screams]
-[squeals]

-[screams]
-[Jesse] Ugh!

Just be careful, okay? One wrong step...

[Axel screams]

[panting, grunts]

-[screaming]
-[Jesse shouts]

[expl*si*n]

[Jesse gasps]

[clucks]

-[Jesse panting]
-Whoa! You see that?

Utter chaos, man!

[snorts]

[griefer] Your loot is mine, brigand!
[laughs]

[Nohr laughs]
You'll have to catch me first, anvil foot!

-[expl*si*n]
-Whoa. Um, I hope they're okay.

And if they're not,
at least they died doing what they loved.

Well, here you have it, Jesse.

Boomtown in all its glory!
What do you think?

Wow. Boomtown sure does
keep you on your toes.

Exciting stuff, huh?

Yeah! Yeah! Now you're getting it!

Dude, it's freaking glowing!

Dude, I think you're onto something there.

This glow.
I think I know what it means.

And look. It glows brighter
when I move it in certain directions.

-Easy does it. Easy.
-Maybe to the left? No. The right.

I mean, your left.

Right, I mean.

You're right. About left.

-Axel, you're stressing me out with that.
-[amulet chiming]

-[Axel] Whoa!
-[Jesse] Whoa!

Ding, ding, ding!

Looks like that spire
is where we'll find Magnus.

Hey there, new people.

You, uh, you said you know
where Magnus is?

Just leave us alone, okay?
It's none of your business.

Hmm. I'm afraid to say that you're just
making me wonder even more

what the heck is up with that thing.

What's going on?

Nohr found some noobs
with a thingy that can find Magnus.

-Jesse?
-How about you help us, huh?

I promise, it's to help save the world.

Yeah, sounds complicated.

I'd prefer you just handing over
the thingy.

-[Jesse gasps]
-[Axel] Get back here with that!

I am Nohr, and I shall use this amulet
to find Magnus and become the new--

No!

[laughter]

Bunch of noobs!

Hey, are they going the same way?

They're working together.

[griefer] This is just
how we do it in Boomtown!

Which one took the amulet?

The thief is mine.
You take the one with the fishing pole.

[Axel] Got it.

Sorry, guys, but I've been trying
to find Magnus

for way too long
for you to stop me now!

-[panting]
-Boom!

-[grunts]
-[Nohr laughing]

Later, dingus!

Only one way out of a pit.

-Axel!
-Jesse, there you are.

So, I cornered that fisher dude,
they were all scared and stuff--

Where is the amulet?

Stop right there!

How about no? [laughs]

[groans] These bricks will take forever
to punch through!

Luckily, I think I found us
a punch-free entrance.

[grunting]

[panting]

Okay, little amulet, show me the way.

Of course, not sure what I'll do
when I get there,

but that's Future Nohr's problem.

I bet Future Nohr is very successful.

[screams]

[both grunting]

[Jesse] Give it back!
This is more important than you know!

[Nohr grunts]

-[fuse hissing]
-Uh-oh.

Not again!

[grunts]

Ha! Nice!
What did I tell you about teamwork?

[Nohr] What? I'm the one who said
we should work together.

-No you didn't! Give me that!
-Give it back!

-Ah! Got it! I actually got it.
-[Nohr] Quick! Flush 'em out!

-[fuse hissing]
-[gasps]

[grunting]

[sighs]

-[griefers clamoring]
-[sighs]

Axel, Magnus is somewhere
in that building above us!

He's gotta be close!

Then, quick, toss me the amulet!

You're surrounded by griefers
and they're gonna tear you apart!

Well?

Jesse, we need to move now!

Just don't lose it this time, okay?

Hey, don't worry about me. I got this.

You just keep them distracted.

-[griefer 1] At the top!
-[griefer 2] Yeah, that's were I saw 'em!

I love a good table-turning. Excellent.

Oh, no, you don't! Get back here!

I don't need it!

Well, hello, opportunity.

-[griefers shouting]
-[grunts]

-[griefers screaming]
-[grunts]

-Jesse, you made it.
-You don't need to sound so surprised.

Do you have the amulet?

Of course!
Me and the pig, we totally rocked it.

-[Jesse] Good boy, Reuben.
-[snorts]

Magnus, here we come.

-[both screaming]
-[Reuben squealing]

[Magnus] You are completely surrounded
by hundreds of hidden death traps.

One step closer... and kaboom!

It's Magnus!
We totally got caught by Magnus.

[groaning] I think we're gonna die now.

Did you think you could sneak up on me?

Ha! You're two of the worst griefers
I've ever met.

And a pig? Really? Hardly stealthy.

[snorts]

Oh, yeah?
Well "oink, oink, oink" to you, pork chop.

We're here to ask for your help.

Uh-huh, uh-huh. Sure.

So, you're not a couple of griefers
here to catch me unawares?

Because... [chuckles] let me tell ya...

I mean, that guy?
He's got "griefer" written all over him.

Yeah, well, that's because
he's your biggest fan.

Look at him.

I mean, not, like, "biggest" fan.

Right.

So, tell me something, "not griefers."
How'd you find me?

Gabriel sent us on this mission.

Gabriel? [laughs]

You're seriously telling me
you're buddy-buddy with Gabriel?

You know how often people try
and tell me that one?

-This is all sounding pretty weird, dudes.
-[Jesse screams]

Who are you really? Why are you here?

The world is being destroyed.

You have me intrigued. Go on.

There's a huge monster eating up
the entire world, and nothing can stop it.

Magnus, you've gotta come with us.

You might be the only chance we have.

Give me one reason why,
for even a second, I should come with you.

You're supposed to be a hero, Magnus.

And right now, the world needs a hero.

You can come with us
and help stop this disaster.

All this stuff you've told me...

you expect me
to just take your word for it?

Two strangers with wild stories...

and nothing to show for it.

Except an amulet that's not theirs.

Magnus, every word
of what I'm saying is true.

You have to believe me.

Okay, okay, you sold me. I'm in.

-[Reuben squeals]
-[expl*si*n]

Oh, but we might have
a little bit of a problem

getting out of here. [laughs]

[Axel] Huh?

You're Magnus.
You can just walk outta here.

Hello? I don't know if you've looked
around this place,

but, uh, it's kind of full of griefers.

-But that's kind of awesome. Right?
-[scoffs] No.

You've heard about the whole "challenging
the king for his crown" thing, right?

It's, like, their thing.

So long as I'm king,
I can't leave this tower.

But you're Magnus. No one can beat you.

And that's the problem.

Simply put, that's life
as King of Boomtown. [laughs]

Just choose a new king
and then come with us.

Look, I've beaten them dozens of times,

and none are worthy.

They'll see right through it.

But you... Ha!

You're the newcomer with the gold amulet.

By now there'll probably be all sorts
of rumors about how awesome you are.

If you beat me,
then I'll be able to leave.

Can't believe I didn't think of it before.

They're gonna call this
"the fight of the century"!

How would I ever beat you?

[chuckles] I know, right?

But that's just it. You won't have to.

[laughs] Oh, this is gonna be good.
I'm actually excited about this!

But we gotta make sure it looks legit.

The Death Bowl has never seen
the carnage that we're about to create.

Hey, what's the Death Bowl?

This is the Death Bowl!

I love mayhem!

Peekaboom!

Welcome, ladies and gentlegriefers,
to the Death Bowl!

In one corner, we have Magnus,
your King of Boomtown,

prepared to defend his title and crown!

So, Tiny, welcome to the Death Bowl--

the grief-off to end all grief-offs.

How do you wanna fake this?

We'll start off small,
and then I'll throw some TNT at you.

Just let it graze you
and we'll call it a finish, all right?

Okay, something about TNT. Awesome.

And you! What name do you go by?

They call me "the Amulet Holder"!

You heard the name, folks.

Give a big Death Bowl welcome

to the Amulet Holder!

Then let's begin!

Opponents will craft
their own griefing towers,

which they will then use
to grief each other.

-The only rule is--
-[griefer] That that there are no rules!

[announcer] No eye-poking.

Other than that, go crazy!

Seriously. Oh!

Amulet Holder,
pick your building material!

-And, Magnus, you--
-Nah. I'm good.

Brought my own supply.

-Let the griefing begin!
-[crowd cheering]

Some stone.

-Some... pink wool?
-[squeals]

Stone, it is.

Hmm. Not bad, not bad.

Guess it'll have to do.

Axel, what are you doing over there
on his side?

Yeah, thought you might bring that up.

It's just that Reuben wanted
to take your corner

and I didn't wanna crowd him or anything,

so I thought I'd, um,
watch from over here.

[Magnus] Take your best shot!

And that's how you shouldn't throw an egg.

Ha! You grief with me,
you grief with the best! [grunts]

So, Amulet Holder,
taking an amulet isn't enough.

You need to take my crown as well?

I do not discriminate
in my accessory-taking.

Your crown shall be mine!

[clucking]

You are but a student.

Prepare yourself, for I am here
to give you your final lesson.

Ha!

[grunts]

Er, um, that was just a warning.

[griefer] What?
A warning that you need glasses?

It seems the student
has become the master,

and the Amulet Holder will win the day!

[griefer] Don't know what that means,
but I love it

and wanna put it on a T-shirt!

[screams]

[panting] But what happened
to getting hit by my TNT?

Nobody messes with the Boom Master!

Uh-oh.

-Jesse? Jesse, you okay?
-Had enough yet?

All righty, I think Noob Time is over.

We've had some nice laughs,
but now they must come to a close.

And you should run home.

And what part of throwing the fight
was that?

What say you, noob?

I am king, and those who challenge me
will be annihilated!

Jesse, I think he just lost it.

[griefer] Magnus, craft a cannon!

Yeah, finish it with a cannon!

If it's a cannon you want,
it's a cannon you'll get!

Yep, he's completely lost it.
Dude's going for the k*ll!

Jesse, you'd better craft the--
I don't know,

greatest thing of your life,
like, right now!

Wait, there's still some material
in the chest.

[Axel] That's it, Jesse. Go!

Hey, Axel, check it out.
Ha! That should hold him.

Yeah. It's-- yeah. Um, yeah, it might do.

But, Jesse, look.

[laughing maniacally]

But you were supposed to throw the fight.

[laughing maniacally]

[groans]

-[Axel] Jesse, look out!
-[screams]

[chuckles]

[squealing]

[grunting]

[panting]

[snorting]

-Get off! No pigs allowed!
-[squealing]

Stuff! I got cool stuff coming your way!

Got you an arrow for your bow!
I think it's enchanted.

A bow? In a cannon fight?

Axel, there are all sorts
of clichéd lines about this.

Yeah, but the TNT, inside the cannon!

TNT plus arrow...

Oh, yeah.

-Time to see how well you fly, pig!
-Reuben!

-Boom!
-[squealing]

I gotcha. I gotcha.

Man, you smell delicious right now.

Hey, Magnus!

Yeah, short stuff?

Flying pig jokes are totally played out.

[laughing maniacally]

[shouts]

[explosions]

-[screaming]
-[snorts]

[all gasp]

[Magnus] No! [groans]

[screams, grunts]

We have a winner!

The Amulet Holder!

[cheering]

Gonna say something there, champ?

It's just the winner sometimes,
I don't know, gives a speech.

Pontificates.

Orates. Say something.

Who likes explosions?

That's right! Yeah, you do!

And that's why I'm standing up here today.

Welp, you guys ready, then?

[laughs] Oh, yeah!

This'll be a way easier target
than Magnus.

Wait. What's going on?

Oh, well, that's not good.

Is that your Wither Storm?

[growling]

How are we--? What are we--? That's--

[all screaming]

Oh, no. Oh, no.

No! Oh, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no!

Magnus, come on!

-You'll regret messing with Boomtown!
-Go!

[growls]

Okay! Just a little farther!

Wow! Someone really went bonkers
with the defenses, huh? [chuckles]

[both grunt]

-[hissing]
-[screams]

Whoa!

Who goes there?
Oh, Jesse? Is that you?

-Lukas, did you build all this?
-Well, yeah.

I-- I figured I would try
and fortify the place, you know?

[Jesse] Nice!

Quick. Come on.

You guys are never gonna believe
who showed up while you were gone.

Petra!

Hey, guys. How's it going?

[squealing]

Petra! You made it!

It's good to see you, too, big guy.

And it's really good to see you, Jesse.

Back there in Gabriel's bunker,
it got pretty dicey.

It's such a relief to see you.
I'm glad you're okay.

You pulled me out
of that Wither Storm's clutches,

and I ran and ran and ran for the temple.

If you hadn't saved me...

Well, I owe you everything, Jesse.

Wow. Did Gabriel get away, too?

Did you see?

It's all a blur, but the Wither Storm
left almost nothing behind.

Everything, everyone was just gone.

It even got Gabriel.

Wow! Been a while since I've been here.

Whoa.

What is she doing here?

Call this a hunch,
but do you two not like each other?

Right, um, I forgot to mention.

Olivia went on a little expedition
of her own while you were gone.

And this "Olivia" person
came back with her?

Did you know about this?

Jesse! Jesse! Look, I found Ellegaard!

Just hang on a sec, okay?
I'll figure out what's going on.

Good. You do that.

Easy now, Olivia.
Let's try and play it cool. Hmm?

So, who are you, now?
And why did you bring him with you?

Yeah, and you two
are going to have to get along, okay?

We didn't even know
you were gonna be here.

If he's nice, I'll be nice, too.

It was kind of crazy, actually.

I went to Redstonia,

and there were all these incredible
engineers and inventors.

It was a little intimidating, actually,
but Ellegaard has made me her protégée.

Well, assistant for now.

She might have, well,
embarrassed herself a tiny bit.

Yeah. But after I pled my case,
she agreed to take me on as her assistant

and come back to help.

Not bad, right?

Well, I'm the King of Boomtown.

Very impressive.

Oh, hooray! It's Ellie.

And here I was
just starting to enjoy myself.

Hello, Magnus.

Your voice is exactly
as pleasant as I remember.

Which is to say, not at all.

Ow! My feelings.

Is that the same wit you're gonna use
to save the world?

[Ellegaard] Why? You here to tell me
how to do it better?

[Magnus] Oh, I would never dream
of doing that.

Unlike you, I actually do things
instead of just talking about them.

Hey, that's Ellegaard you're talking to.
Show her some respect.

Wow, you finally found yourself
a live one.

Hey!

Your little devotees are usually
a little more on the bookish side.

Leave her out of this, Magnus.
This is between the two of us.

Oh, I started ignoring her ages ago.

Olivia, I'd just stay out of this.

-But--
-Your friend's right, Olivia.

I've got this just fine on my own.

Uh, people, can we please focus
on the bigger picture?

We have a very hungry Wither Storm

in the process of turning
the whole world into its dinner.

Yeah, I'll admit.
That thing looked real nasty.

And I've seen some nasty stuff in my time.

Too much for you, was it?
Your usual brutish approach didn't cut it?

Hey! You weren't there, all right?

You didn't see how this thing
just tore everything up!

You've never seen anything like it.

Would you two stop fighting?!

-Whoa!
-Yikes.

Jesse's right. We need to find
some way to stop that thing.

I don't know if you've looked around,

but this place isn't the stronghold
it used to be.

Most of our supplies are gone.

It would take a mountain of TNT
to k*ll that thing.

I hate to say it, but you have a point.

Can we start crafting some, then?

I don't think we got that kind of time.

If only Soren were here.
He might have something we could use.

Oh, Ellie, not this again.

There's something stronger than TNT?

Soren had a kind of super TNT,

stronger and more expl*sive
than anything else in the world.

The formidi-b*mb.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I've heard all about the F-b*mb before.

Well, the formidi-b*mb sounds perfect!
We should go get it now!

Well, there's a little problem there.

We don't know where Soren is.

But you found us.
Do you know where he is?

[Ellegaard] Our map could locate him.

Unless he's in the Nether or the End.

But it's worth a shot.

I bet we can find him.

I'm very curious to see it.
I've never actually seen it work before.

All right, there's your light, my light...

That's new.

There he is.

Soren had his fortress
deep inside the mountains.

After the Order broke up,

that's where he went to keep doing
his experiments.

Look, he invited me there a couple times,
but it always seemed a little--

Weird, right?
It always seemed a little weird.

Then let's stop hanging around here
and go get us some super TNT!

Whoa.

Blue. Blue!

That's Ivor!

Ivor is going to Soren's.
We need to move.

It's not too far.
We could probably make it on foot.

Perfect.

We can wait till tomorrow morning
and travel with a full day's sunlight.

Uh, and risk that thing
catching up with us?

Think I've had enough Wither Storm
for one day,  thank you very much.

Right. Because getting caught out there
in the dark is so much better.

Yeah, I don't want the Wither Storm
catching up with us. We should go now.

Okay, everyone, let's get moving.

-Jesse, right?
-Oh, hello.

We haven't had the chance
to acquaint ourselves properly.

I hear that you saved your friend Petra
from this Wither Storm.

Sounds like
you're a pretty impressive individual.

I'm just doing my best
to keep everyone safe.

I can always appreciate humility.
I like you.

A slight tangent, what's the, uh, deal
with your friend Olivia?

I appreciate her enthusiasm,
but she can be a little much sometimes.

She's always very eager
to jump in and help.

Which is sweet, of course,

though sometimes I wish she would think
a bit more before jumping in.

Especially when she keeps
getting in over her head.

I don't know if you caught this,
but she's, like, your biggest fan.

You probably just make her nervous.

That's an excellent point.
Hadn't thought about that.

Seems like you respect her a lot.

Why didn't you listen to her plan
to come and recruit me?

I figured that we needed firepower,

and no one knows destruction
better than Magnus.

The man does know to blow things up
with reckless abandon, that's for sure.

I'll do my best
to not let it hurt my feelings.

[chuckles] Joke. That was a joke.

[Wither Storm growling]

Uh, guys?

[growling]

I told you it was gonna catch up with us!

Oh, my. You really weren't kidding.

No. Not again.

Well, we can hash that out later.
Come on, we gotta get out of here.

Not again. Not again.

Soren's isn't much farther!
We can make it!

[panting]

I am getting very tired
of this Wither Storm.

Agreed.

Soren's place has gotta be just ahead!
Come on!

[squealing]

Soren really lived down here?

It's so far from... anyone.

-Enchanting, isn't it?
-[coughing]

[Lukas] Yeah, and I'm really not feeling
those columns.

Aw, come on! It's fine! Look!

Whoo!

-[snorting]
-[Olivia and Lukas grunt]

-Just don't fall, okay?
-[squealing]

[grunts]

Oh, that is deep.
That is very, very deep.

-[gasps]
-[squealing]

Hang on! I'm coming!

-[squealing]
-[screams]

[grunts]

[Enderman grunting]

[Jesse] Oh, man. We've got Endermen.

[Reuben squealing]

[Lukas] Ah!

It was, uh... [chuckles]
more of a drop than I was expecting.

[Enderman grunting]

-[Lukas] Endermen.
-[Jesse] There are so many.

I didn't think they ever came
in groups that big.

No kidding.
It's like an Enderman party.

I heard your voice and thought
I would come down to help. [chuckles]

That was pretty reckless, Lukas.
You could've gotten hurt!

[Reuben squealing]

-[shrieks]
-[both scream]

[grunts]

[screams]

[gasps]

[screams]

Reuben, jump!

[squeals]

[screams]

[Magnus] Oh, be quiet!
It's just a pointless building!

That's all I'm saying.
I mean, look at--

[Ellegaard] Magnus, if an artist painted
the inside of your mind,

he'd end up with the most extraordinary
desertscape paintings.

That's it. I'm going.

Once again, it falls to me
to take care of everything.

I'll find this super TNT myself.

[Magnus] Oh, no, no, no!

You do not get to be
the one who walks away.

That's it. I'm going.

See, I'm walking away, too, now.

Super TNT, here I come!

It's hard to pick "glass half full"
when they keep kicking the glass over.

Bickering is kind of their deal.

But hopefully they'll work things out
and get on with the important stuff.

What are we gonna do now?
Where should we go?

Let's figure it out.

-Petra? Are you okay?
-I'm sorry.

I don't mean to worry you.

I've just got something
I wanna discuss with you in private.

But let's split up.

I feel bad about ditching everyone else,
I wanted to talk to you about this alone.

Hey, whatever it is, I trust you.
You can tell me.

Thanks for being so understanding.

You got me away from the Wither Storm...

but I'm worried that I didn't get away
soon enough.

What?

What is that?
What's wrong with your arm?

Do you know what Wither is?

The Wither? Of course. We've been--

No, Jesse. Just Wither,
or Wither sickness, I guess.

And I feel like it's just
gonna keep getting worse.

Well, we're going to go back
and tell the others.

We can get help.

-You can't tell anyone about this.
-[Jesse gasps]

[hissing]

Ah! Creeper!

[screams]

Grab my hand. I'll pull you up.

[Petra grunting]

[screams]

Jesse, I just couldn't-- I'm sorry.

Jesse?

Are you okay?

[Reuben whimpering]

Go and find the others.

Hopefully you can find a way
to get down to me or something.

Okay, I got this.

Stay safe. I'll find a way down to you.

[squealing]

[amulet chiming]

Hey, show yourself! Who's there?

[gasps] You.

Trying to interfere
with my plans again, I see.

What are you doing down here?

Being rudely interrupted by you, clearly.

I'm here with the Order
to find Soren's super TNT.

We're going to take down
your Wither Storm.

The Order? [laughs]

Believe me, that plan will blow up
in their faces in more ways than one.

They cannot help you.

But me? I choose not to.

Sorry, Ivor. I'm--

-Ah!
-Oh, you're not going anywhere.

Hmm. Petra. You escaped?

[chuckles]

Ha!

Foolish girl! I--

Shut up.
I don't care what you have to say.

-I'm just gonna take you down.
-Ha!

[both grunting]

Petra, just let him go.
He's not worth it.

Sorry, Jesse.

I didn't escape one monster
just to let another get away.

[grunts]

I'm the only one
who can stop the Wither Storm!

Not you! Not the Order!

Don't make yourselves the villains
in my story.

[shouts]

You're not going anywhere, creep.

This could have all been avoided.

If you wanna stop me,
you have to catch me first.

Jesse, look out!

You're not getting out of here
that easy, Ivor.

[laughs] I'm like the wind!

[both grunt]

Out of my way!

I'll cut through you if I have to!

Ah!

Don't tempt your fate.

[shouts]

[panting]

It didn't have to go this way, Jesse.
You could've just let me go. [chuckles]

Now you see me, now you...

[Ivor laughs maniacally]

It's one of his invisibility potions.
He could be anywhere!

Vanish all you want, slime ball.
You're still not going anywhere.

-[grunts]
-[Ivor laughs]

-[grunts]
-[Ivor laughs]

[both grunt]

End of the rail, Ivor.
We're not letting you get away with this.

[Ivor] This one's on you,
you puffed-up fool.

[grunts]

[groaning] There's no time for this.
[panting]

[panting]

-Jesse! Petra!
-[Ivor] Even more of you?

Will this parade of useless babblers
never cease?

-What's going on?
-We found Ivor.

-We stopped him.
-Jesse did, anyway.

False. You have stopped nothing.

A query.

Have you ever seen the effects
of a Splash Potion of Slowness?

What...

[in slo-mo] are you talking about?

You big jerk!

[Petra] Get back here!

Magnus and Ellegaard may think
they can stop me,

that they can destroy the Wither Storm,
but they are mistaken.

And it will cost them their lives.

-Uh, Jesse!
-[gasps]

-[Ghast shrieks]
-[screams]

[Reuben squeals]

Ow, ow, ow!

[Jesse] The mine carts!

Great, more Ghasts.

[Ghast shrieks]

[Olivia] Do something about the Ghast.

Okay, think fast, Jesse. What to choose?

[shrieks]

[grunts]

[shrieks]

Okay, we're all set to go again.

Time to move, buddy. Let's go.

Hitting the powered tracks... now!

I never doubted you for a second, but...
but that was incredible.

Maybe we have a chance
of getting to Ellegaard after all.

Look! There's the sign. "Redstonia"!

Redstonia, here we come!

You're about to meet the greatest
redstone builders in the world.

Wow! Who would've thought that someday
I'd really get to visit Redstonia,

Ellegaard's capital city of engineering?

Incredible!

Do you think Ellegaard will be willing,
you know, to help us?

[theme music playing]

Have you seen all these inventions?
These inventors are all incredible.

I might know redstone where we come from,
but these people are the real deal, Jesse.

I mean, I don't even know
how they're making some of these things.

[moos]

That's rare for me.

Pfft! You're just as good as them, Olivia.

Just be confident.

Maybe, but thanks
for the vote of confidence.

[Ellegaard] Builders of Redstonia!

-Jesse, there she is.
-I want you to know how much I value

and adore each and every one of you.

Your hard work inspires me every day.

I am about to enter
my Dome of Concentration,

where I'll be unreachable
for the foreseeable future.

But I will emerge when I complete
my latest and greatest creation,

-the command block!
-[cheering, applause]

[Ellegaard] So, please, continue working,
continue building.

And whichever person most impresses me,
they shall be my protégé.

Ready to help usher in a new era
of innovation and creativity.

Calvin, throw the switch!

Jesse, we need to get there
before she totally locks herself in.

[thudding]

So, Ellegaard's trying to make
a command block in there?

I don't know, Jesse.
That sounds pretty risky.

You saw what happened when Ivor tried
to control a command block.

Excuse me, Mr. Calvin, was it?

We need to speak to Ellegaard.
It's urgent.

Oh, I'm afraid that's quite impossible.

Did you hear the speech?

She's on lockdown until she completes
her next great invention.

I have a message from Gabriel, okay?
Ellegaard's old friend?

I'm afraid I have many more things
to attend to

than answering all of your questions.

I must go.

Better just take this repeater
and disable the stair controls.

We don't want any troublemakers
disturbing Ellegaard.

Guess we'll need to get another repeater.

We need three stone, two redstone torches,
and one pile of redstone dust to make one.

Right.

Hi.

Hey, how's it going? How you doing?

Here to see the next great revolution
in entertainment?

Actually, I was wondering,
can you spare a repeater?

Oh, sorry, friend.

Actually just used my last one
on this puppy.

One of the key components
that helps the cows dance. [laughs]

I'm actually gonna keep on keeping on.

Enjoy the dancing cows.

[mooing]

Just stay away from that little,
uh, schoolboy, all right?

He's never had
an original idea in his life.

Been real chatty
with that disco friend of yours.

What's he been telling you about me, huh?

Is this idea yours? Like, 100 percent?

Because he kind of says
that you steal your ideas.

All of them.

That no good, dirty... [growls]

disco freak!

I've got a bone to pick with you!

Steal all my ideas, huh?
That's what you're telling people?

Guess I just call 'em like I see 'em.

Oh, you are just... [growls]

Well, you know what I call that?
A bunch of cow t*rture.

Boy, what a cutting insult.
Who'd you steal that one from?

Oh, not my hair!

[both grunting]

Try not to touch anything
until we know what it does, okay?

Oh, pfft, I wasn't gonna touch anything.

I was just going to look really carefully.

Come on. Let's keep moving.

Seems like this place
has really blown you away.

You're not kidding.

This is like everything
I've ever dreamed of.

[whooshing]

This is just like I dreamt it.

Entering Ellegaard's laboratory,
seeing her right there.

She'll ask me to be her apprentice,

and the next thing you know,
we'll be changing the world together.

Let's just try to save the world first.

Whoa! Hi! Hey! [chuckles]
Didn't see you sneaking up on me.

Guess that's the point.

Don't touch anything in here, okay?
It's all supremely fragile and genius.

Did Calvin send you?
Are you my new assistants?

New assistants
with a stupidly adorable pig, that is!

[chuckles]

Jesse, she thinks
we're her new assistants.

This is so exciting.

You must be here to see
my incredible auto farmer.

Why waste time planting sugarcane
when it could be planting itself?

You got a repeater?

Sorry, already used all mine.
I got some redstone torches, though.

Here, take these
as a token of my gratitude.

That's some primo crafting material
right there.

Awesome. Thanks!

[objects clattering]

Oh, man. Stone! Jackpot!

[screams]

Hi, there!

I like you, sport.
Here, have some redstone dust.

Dust from a strange man. Cool.

[disco guy] Oh, no! My machine!

-Oh, my cows!
-Oh, no, your amazing invention.

You! You did this!

Hey, I am not taking credit
for any of this.

That machine's been a cow death trap
since block one!

Okay, that's a step
in the right direction.

Bam! Door opened.

Switch is on!

Okay, good, good.

Wow, here it is.
Ellegaard's redstone laboratory.

Seems more like an entrance
or a foyer or something.

[snorting]

Don't worry, pal, we'll find her.

I just hope she can actually help us.

That might be the most redstone stuff
I've ever seen in my life.

[Olivia] You can say that again.

She's moving a lot
of different ingredients around here.

Man. Look at all this, huh?

Whatever she's working on,
if it requires all of these ingredients,

it must be something really, really big.

-Ellegaard--
-No time for specifics, I'm afraid.

Hey, you, Goggle Girl.

Switch on that T-flop circuit
to activate the delivery chutes.

And, you, grab me a blaze rod
and an iron block.

She wants me to do something for her.

What if I screw it up? What if I--?

Oh, I feel lightheaded.

[thuds]

[snorts]

Wow. Now I need an assistant
to help with my assistant.

Think you can handle it on your own?

Olivia! Olivia? Can you hear me?

I don't think
that I've ever fainted before.

[groans] So embarrassing.

Everything working over--? [chuckles] Oh.

Hmm.

Fine. I'll just do it myself, then.

[whirring]

Come on, come on, come on.

Big winner, big winner, big...

loser!

Ugh.

Trial number 6,451, another bust.

-Now, about you three...
-[snorts]

Uh, your friend here,
does she fall over frequently?

Is this gonna be a regular occurrence?

I-- No. I'm sorry.
I was just so excited to--

And with me always pacing around,
lost in my own brilliant thoughts.

I could have tripped over you
and conked my brain.

Brilliant thoughts, gone. [chuckles]

I could see that.

Ellegaard, we've actually got
much bigger problems to deal with.

We're actually here to get your help.

There's a giant Wither Storm
and it's attacking the entire world.

A Wither what?

What are you talking about?
Who-- Who sent you?

Gabriel sent me.

Look, you both seem like very pleasant
people who are prone to fainting,

but I simply don't have
the brain power for this.

I'm in the middle
of my greatest project to date,

a powerful block
capable of altering reality itself.

I've seen one of those before.
It's a command block.

Wait, wait, wait. Wait.
How do you know what a command block is?

We've seen one up close before.
It was Ivor's.

He's done something terrible with it.

The world needs the Order of the Stone.
That's why we're here.

Ugh, sorry to bust your circuits,

but the Order
isn't really together anymore.

We, uh, sort of disassembled.

That's actually kind of why we're here.

Gabriel's amulet.

Yes, he gave it to me
so that I could find the Order.

Your Wither Storm problem
was created by a command block, yes?

That means a command block
could be the perfect way of beating it.

-And maybe--
-Will you help me make one?

It's going to work this time.
I can feel it.

Right here, in my brain.

I could help, too.

Ellegaard, I'm sorry, but, no.
I can't let you do this.

Please, we have to go.

Go? This seems terribly shortsighted.

I had thought you were the brains
of your little trio.

This could be the greatest invention
the world has ever seen.

It could change everything.

You'll understand
when you see it, I promise.

There's no time.

While I'm very glad
you want my assistance,

and trust me, I won't faint--
I'm still not sure--

-[Wither Storm roars]
-[gasps] Oh, my circuits.

I'm so sorry. So, so sorry.

We should get to the portal.

Now, as soon as possible.

[Wither Storm roaring]

-[screaming]
-[squealing]

[Ellegaard] Over here!

[shouting]

This way!

[grunts]

-Jesse!
-[squealing]

[grunts]

-Ah!
-[growling]

[squeals]

-[grunts]
-[Wither Storm growling]

Okay! Just a little farther!

Well, that's certainly impressive. Wow.

[grunts]

-[hissing]
-[screams]

Whoa!

Who goes there? Oh, Jesse? Is that you?

Lukas, did you build all this?

Well, yeah.

I figured I would try and fortify
the place, you know?

[Jesse] Nice!

Quick! Come on!

You guys are never gonna believe
who showed up while you were gone.

Gabriel!

Hello, everyone. It is good to see you.

He showed up not too long before you guys.

Ellegaard, my old friend.

Boy, are you a sight for sore eyes.

Maybe with you here, we actually
stand a chance against this thing.

[chuckles] Oh, how I've missed
your optimistic spirit.

Oh. And it's especially good
to see you, Jesse.

I feared that you might be
the last face I ever saw.

Getting here was hard.

It's such a relief to see you.
I'm glad you're okay.

If you hadn't pulled me
out of the Wither Storm's clutches...

Well, let's just not think about that.

I came here to the temple,

hoping against hope
to find other survivors.

Wow, did Petra get away, too?
Did you see?

All that creature left in its wake
was bedrock.

All those people...

Your friend Petra...

No one could get away.

We are alive.

And that means there is still hope.

Come along. Everyone else is still inside.

Boy, can't remember
the last time I saw this place.

Would someone care to explain
what he is doing here?

Oh, this isn't going to go well.

Right. I forgot to mention.

Axel went on a little adventure of his own
while you were gone.

An adventure to get him?

Did you know about this?

Look, just wait here a second
while I figure out what's going on.

Much appreciated.

So who are you, then?

And why did you bring
the Queen of the Nerds with you?

That's Jesse, my best friend.

Trust me, Jesse's totally cool.

I'll... [chuckles]
I'll be the judge of that, huh?

Yeah, and you two
are going to have to get along, okay?

We didn't even know
you were gonna be here.

That makes two of us, then.
But reversed for me.

I got tired of waiting around,
so I decided to go recruit Magnus myself.

It was kind of a crazy adventure,
but it all worked out in the end.

And now, I'm the King of Boomtown!

Boomtown?

That's the name of Magnus' kingdom.
Had to beat him in a crazy tournament--

Long story. You had to be there.

Short version: epic battle
of explosions and mayhem,

death-defying-action shenanigans
and pyrotechnics.

Badabing, badaboom!

Your friend here is kind of supreme ruler
of my kingdom now.

You know what I mean.

Well, this is unexpected.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean,

but I'm definitely sure
that I don't like it.

Yeah. Show him some respect.

Oh, you're sticking up for Magnus.
That's very sweet.

Yeah, he's sticking up for me.

It's because I'm really awesome
and super cool.

I'll never understand your fans.

Axel, not your fight.
Stay out of it.

-But--
-Your friend has a point.

I can fight my own battles.

Uh, people, can we please focus
on the bigger picture?

We have a very hungry Wither Storm

in the process of turning
the whole world into its dinner.

It was terrifying.

It came out of nowhere
and just destroyed everything.

A little too scary for you, Ellie?
Couldn't just think it away?

You weren't there, Magnus.

I'm telling you, this thing
was like nothing I've ever seen.

Why? Because it's never come inside
one of your little workshops?

Would you two stop fighting?!

-Whoa!
-Yikes.

Jesse speaks the truth.

We must find a way
to defeat that monstrosity.

I don't know if you've had the chance
to poke around this old dump yet,

but it's pretty much stripped bare.

It would take a mountain of TNT
to k*ll that thing.

I hate to say it, but you have a point.

Can we start crafting some, then?

I don't think we got that kind of time.

If only Soren were here.
He might have something we could use.

Oh, Ellie, not this again.

There's something stronger than TNT?

Soren had a kind of super TNT,

stronger and more expl*sive
than anything else in the world.

The formidi-b*mb.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I've heard all about the F-b*mb before.

Well, the formidi-b*mb sounds perfect.
We should go get it now.

Well, there's a little problem there.

We don't know where Soren is.

But you found us.
Do you know where he is?

[Ellegaard] Our map could locate him.

Unless he's in the Nether or the End.

But it's worth a shot.

I bet we can find him.

Jesse, do you still have the amulet
I gave you?

Of course.

All right, there's your light, my light...

That's new.

There he is.

Soren had his fortress
deep inside the mountains.

After the Order broke up,

that's where he went
to keep doing his experiments.

Look, he invited me there a couple times,
but it always seemed a little--

Weird, right?
It always seemed a little weird.

Then let's stop hanging around here
and go get us some super TNT!

Whoa.

Blue. Blue!

That's Ivor!

Ivor is going to Soren's.
We need to move!

It's not too far.
We could probably make it on foot.

Righteous! We'll get some rest
and head out first thing in the morning,

[mockingly] avoiding all the nighttime
and monsters and everything.

If you had seen that monster,
you wouldn't be saying that.

We need to leave now.

Yeah, I don't want the Wither Storm
catching up with us.

We should go now.

Okay, everyone, let's get moving.

Yo, we haven't really gotten
the chance to chat yet.

Oh. Hello.

Gabe over there says you saved him
from this Wither Storm thing.

You're pretty tough, huh?

I'm just doing my best
to keep everyone safe.

Humility. Nice. I can dig it.

What's the deal with your buddy Axel?

Can't tell if he's awesome
or a little bit of a dork.

He's just a little, uh, doofy, you know?

He's like a little puppy.

You don't know whether you wanna hug it
or just walk away.

You know what I'm talking about?

Axel's one of my best friends.

He makes me laugh
and he always sticks up for his friends.

Interesting. Very interesting.

Then why didn't you listen
to his plan to come get me?

I figured that we needed brains
to fight the Wither Storm, and...

brains means Ellegaard.

Yeah, I've definitely heard that a lot.
[laughs]

I'll try not to let it hurt my feelings
too much.

Well, just keep on your toes.

[Wither Storm growls]

Uh, guys?

[growling]

I told you it was gonna catch up with us!

Oh, my. You really weren't kidding.

No. How could it find me again?

Well, we can hash that out later.
Come on, we gotta get out of here!

Will this creature never stop?

Soren's isn't much farther.
We can make it!

[panting]

I am getting very tired
of this Wither Storm.

Agreed.

Soren's place has gotta be just ahead.
Come on!

[squealing]

Soren really lived down here?

It's so far from... anyone.

-Enchanting, isn't it?
-[coughing]

[Lukas] Yeah, and I'm really not feeling
those columns.

Aw, come on! It's fine! Look!

Whoo!

[Reuben snorting]

[Olivia and Lukas grunt]

-[squealing]
-Just don't fall, okay?

Oh, that is deep.
That is very, very deep.

-Oh!
-[Reuben squealing]

Hang on! I'm coming!

-[squealing]
-[screams]

[groans]

[Enderman grunting]

[Jesse] Oh, man. We've got Endermen.

[Reuben squealing]

[Lukas] Ah!

It was, uh... [chuckles]
more of a drop than I was expecting.

[Enderman grunting]

-[Lukas] Endermen.
-[Jesse] There are so many.

I didn't think they ever came
in groups that big.

No kidding.
It's like an Enderman party.

I heard your voice and thought
I would come down to help. [chuckles]

Thanks for coming back, Lukas.
I mean that.

[Reuben squealing]

-[shrieks]
-[both scream]

[Jesse grunts]

[grunts]

[screams]

[gasps]

[panting]

[screams]

Reuben, jump!

[squeals]

[screams]

[Magnus] Oh, be quiet!
It's just a pointless building.

That's all I'm saying. I mean, look at--

[Ellegaard] Magnus, if an artist painted
the inside of your mind,

he'd end up with the most extraordinary
desertscape paintings.

That's it! I'm going.

Once again, it falls to me
to take care of everything.

I'll find this super TNT myself!

[Magnus] Oh, no, no, no!

You do not get to be the one
who walks away.

That's it! I'm going.

See? I'm walking away, too, now.

Super TNT, here I come!

It's hard to pick "glass half full"
when they keep kicking the glass over.

Bickering is kind of their deal.

But hopefully they'll work things out
and get on with the important stuff.

What are we gonna do now?
Where should we go?

Let's figure it out.

Gabriel.

Are you okay?

I know it's not the best time,
and I... I don't want to worry you,

but there's something I'd like to discuss
with you in private, Jesse.

But let's split up.

I'm aware that letting them
head off alone was risky, but...

I need to talk to you
about a private matter.

Hey, whatever it is, I trust you.
You can tell me.

Thank you for being so understanding.

I'm so glad to see
my old friends together again.

-I don't want to ruin it with this.
-What?

You may have succeeded in getting me away
from the Wither Storm, but...

I fear it was already too late.

What is that?
What's wrong with your arm?

Tell me, do you know what Wither is?

The Wither? Of course.
We've been--

No, just Wither.

Or Wither sickness,
to be more descriptive.

It is something I've contracted
before in my travels,

but it always wears off.

It seems that Ivor's monster
exudes a Wither sickness

that is decidedly more fatal.

Well, we're going to go back
and tell the others.

We can get help.

No, Jesse.
You can't tell anyone about this.

[gasps]

-[Gabriel] What?
-[hisses]

Creeper! Look out!

Ah!

Take my hand! I'll pull you up!

-[grunts]
-[screams]

My strength is compromised.
I couldn't maintain my hold!

I'm so sorry!

Jesse, are you all right?

Are you hurt? Jesse?

[Reuben whimpers]

Don't worry. I'm fine.

Time to be a hero again.

Stay safe. I'll find a way down to you.

[squealing]

[amulet chiming]

Hey, show yourself! Who's there?

[gasps] You!

Trying to interfere
with my plans again, I see.

What are you doing down here?

Being rudely interrupted by you, clearly.

I'm here with the Order
to find Soren's super TNT.

We're going to take down
your Wither Storm.

The Order? [chuckles]

Believe me, that plan will blow up
in their faces in more ways than one.

They cannot help you.

But me? I choose not to.

Sorry, Ivor. I'm--

[Gabriel] Stop right there, Ivor!

-Gabriel! You're alive!
-Against all your best efforts, Ivor.

Look at what you've done.

I never dreamt that even you
could be this twisted!

Save your posturing, Gabriel.

We both know your words
have always been hollow,

just like the Order.

You're not going anywhere, Ivor,
at least not in one piece.

Your threats pass harmlessly through me,
but this sword will pass through you!

[both grunting]

-I'm not letting him leave, either.
-Good.

I'm the only one who can stop
the Wither Storm.

Not you, not the Order!

Don't make yourselves the villains
in my story.

[shouts]

-Stay and fight, you coward!
-[Ivor screams]

This could have all been avoided.

If you want to stop me,
you'll have to catch me first.

Look out, Jesse!
He's using a Potion of Swiftness!

We mustn't let him escape!

[laughs] I'm like the wind!

Out of my way!

I'll cut through you if I have to!

[Ivor groans]

Don't tempt your fate.

[Jesse screams]

[panting]

It didn't have to go this way, Jesse.
You could've just let me go. [laughs]

Now you see me, now you...

[Ivor laughing]

He could be anywhere. Stay on your guard!

Invisible or not,
he isn't going to get by me.

-[grunts]
-[Ivor laughing]

-[grunts]
-[Ivor laughing]

-[Ivor grunts]
-[shouts]

Please, Ivor, just stand down.

[Ivor] This one's on you,
you puffed-up fool.

[grunts]

[groans] There's no time for this.

[panting]

-Jesse! Gabriel!
-[Ivor] Even more of you?

Will this parade of useless babblers
never cease?

-What's going on?
-We found Ivor.

-[Jesse] We stopped him.
-[scoffs] False.

You have stopped nothing.

A query.

Have you ever seen the effects
of a Splash Potion of Slowness?

What...

[in slo-mo] are you talking about?

You big jerk!

[Petra] Get back here!

Magnus and Ellegaard may think
they can stop me,

that they can destroy the Wither Storm,
but they are mistaken.

And it will cost them their lives.

I don't understand.
How did you escape?

You pulled me out
of that Wither Storm's clutches,

and I ran and ran and ran for the temple.

If you hadn't saved me, well...

I owe you everything, Jesse.

Wow. Did Gabriel get away, too?
Did you see?

It's all a blur, but the Wither Storm
left almost nothing behind.

Everything, everyone was just gone.

It even got Gabriel.

I wouldn't believe that anything
could defeat Gabriel

if I hadn't seen it for myself.

This is terrible.

Boy, can't remember the last time
I saw this place.

Would someone care to explain
what he is doing here?

Call this a hunch,
but do you two not like each other?

Right. I forgot to mention.

Axel went on a little adventure of his own
while you were gone.

An adventure to get him?

Did you know about this?

Look, just wait here a second
while I figure out what's going on.

Much appreciated.

So, who are you, then?

And why did you bring
the Queen of the Nerds with you?

That's Jesse, my best friend.

Trust me, Jesse's totally cool.

I'll... [laughs]
I'll be the judge of that, huh?

I don't understand.
How did you escape?

If you hadn't pulled me out
of the Wither Storm's clutches...

Well, let's just not think about that.

I came here to the temple,

hoping against hope
to find other survivors.

Wow. Did Petra get away, too?
Did you see?

All that creature left in its wake
was bedrock.

All those people, your friend Petra...

No one could get away.

We are alive,
and that means there's still hope.

Come along. Everyone else is still inside.

Boy, can't remember the last time
I saw this place.

Would someone care to explain
what he is doing here?

Oh, this isn't going to go well.

Right. I forgot to mention.

Axel went on a little adventure of his own
while you were gone.

An adventure to get him?

Did you know about this?

Look, just wait here a second
while I figure out what's going on.

Much appreciated.

So, who are you, then?

And why did you bring
the Queen of the Nerds with you?

That's Jesse, my best friend.

Trust me, Jesse's totally cool.

I'll... [laughs]
I'll be the judge of that, huh?

Hey, Ellegaard is cool

and she's going to help stop
this Wither Storm.

Ellie? [laughs]

"Cool"?

[laughing]

Oh. Oh, wait, wait. Wait. You're serious?

Oh, wow, that's, uh, that's... Whew!

Ha! Oh, boy.

I got tired of waiting around,
so I decided to go recruit Magnus myself.

It was kind of a crazy adventure,
but it all worked out in the end.

And now, I'm the King of Boomtown!

Boomtown?

That's the name of Magnus's kingdom.

I had to beat him
in a crazy tournament, and--

Long story. You had to be there.

Short version:
epic battle of explosions and mayhem,

death-defying-action shenanigans
and pyrotechnics.

Badabing, badaboom!

Your friend here is kind of supreme ruler
of my kingdom now.

You know what I mean.

Well, this is unexpected.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean,

but I'm definitely sure
that I don't like it.

Yeah! Show him some respect!

Oh, you're sticking up for Magnus.
That's very... sweet.

Yeah, he's sticking up for me.

It's because I'm really awesome
and super cool.

I'll never understand your fans.

Hey, Ellegaard is cool

and she's going to help stop
this Wither Storm.

Ellie? [laughs]

"Cool"?

[laughing]

Oh. Oh, wait, wait. Wait. You're serious?

Oh, wow, that's, uh, that's... Whew!

Ha! Oh, boy.

I got tired of waiting around,
so I decided to go recruit Magnus myself.

It was kind of a crazy adventure,
but it all worked out in the end.

And now, I'm the King of Boomtown!

Boomtown?

That's the name of Magnus's kingdom.

Oh, you're sticking up for Magnus.
That's very... sweet.

Yeah, he's sticking up for me.

It's because I'm really awesome
and super cool.

I'll never understand your fans.

Ellegaard, come on.

I know this isn't how the plan
was supposed to go,

but it's going to be fine.

Ha!

Fine.

Uh, people, can we please focus
on the bigger picture?

We have a very hungry Wither Storm

in the process of turning the whole world
into its dinner.

It was terrifying.

It came out of nowhere
and just destroyed everything.

A little too scary for you, Ellie?

-Couldn't just think it away?
-You weren't there, Magnus.

I'm telling you, this thing was like
nothing I've ever seen.

Why? Because it's never come inside
one of your little workshops?

Would you two stop fighting?!

-Whoa!
-Yikes.

Jesse's right.

We need to find some way
to stop that thing.

I don't know if you've had the chance
to poke around this old dump yet,

but it's pretty much stripped bare.

It would take a mountain of TNT
to k*ll that thing!

I hate to say it, but you have a point.

Can we start crafting some, then?

I don't think we got that kind of time.

If only Soren were here.
He might have something we could use.

Oh, Ellie, not this again.

There's something stronger than TNT?

Soren had a kind of super TNT,

stronger and more expl*sive
than anything else in the world.

The formidi-b*mb.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I've heard all about the F-b*mb before.

Well, the formidi-b*mb sounds perfect!

We should go get it now!

Well, there's a little problem there.

We don't know where Soren is.

But you found us.
Do you know where he is?

[Ellegaard] Our map could locate him.

Unless he's in the Nether or the End.

But it's worth a shot.

Ellegaard, come on.

I know this isn't how the plan
was supposed to go,

but it's going to be fine.

Ha!

Fine.

Uh, people, can we please focus
on the bigger picture?

We have a very hungry Wither Storm

in the process of turning the whole world
into its dinner.

It was terrifying.

and just destroyed everything.

I'm telling you, this thing was like
nothing I've ever seen.

Why? Because it's never come inside
one of your little workshops?

Would you two stop fighting?!

-Whoa!
-Yikes.

Jesse speaks the truth.

We must find a way
to defeat that monstrosity.

I don't know if you've had the chance
to poke around this old dump yet,

but it's pretty much stripped bare.

It would take a mountain of TNT
to k*ll that thing!

I hate to say it, but you have a point.

I don't think we got that kind of time.

Oh, Ellie, not this again.

The formidi-b*mb.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I've heard all about the F-b*mb before.

Well, the formidi-b*mb sounds perfect!

We should go get it now!

Well, there's a little problem there.

We don't know where Soren is.

But you found us.
Do you know where he is?

[Ellegaard] Our map could locate him.

Unless he's in the Nether or the End.

But it's worth a shot.

He wasn't on the map.

I'm very curious to see it.
I've never actually seen it work before.

All right, there's your light, my light...

That's new.

There he is.

Soren had his fortress
deep inside the mountains.

After the Order broke up,

that's where he went
to keep doing his experiments.

Look, he invited me there a couple times,
but it always seemed a little--

Weird, right?
It always seemed a little weird.

Then let's stop hanging around here
and go get us some super TNT!

Whoa.

Blue. Blue!

That's Ivor!

Ivor is going to Soren's.
We need to move!

It's not too far.
We could probably make it on foot.

Righteous! We'll get some rest
and head out first thing in the morning,

[mockingly] avoiding all the nighttime
and monsters and everything.

If you had seen that monster,
you wouldn't be saying that.

We need to leave now.

Yeah, I don't want the Wither Storm
catching up with us. We should go now.

Okay, everyone, let's get moving.

Yo, we haven't really gotten
the chance to chat yet.

Oh. Hello.

I heard you saved your friend back there
from this Wither Storm thing.

You're pretty tough, huh?

I'm just doing my best
to keep everyone safe.

Humility. Nice. I can dig it.

What's the deal with your buddy Axel?

Can't tell if he's awesome
or a little bit of a dork.

He's just a little, uh, doofy, you know?

He's like a little puppy.

You don't know whether you wanna hug it
or just walk away.

You know what I'm talking about?

He wasn't on the map.

Jesse, do you still have
the amulet I gave you?

Of course.

All right, there's your light, my light...

That's new.

There he is.

Soren had his fortress
deep inside the mountains.

After the Order broke up,

that's where he went
to keep doing his experiments.

Look, he invited me there a couple times,
but it always seemed a little--

Weird, right?
It always seemed a little weird.

Then let's stop hanging around here
and go get us some super TNT!

Whoa.

Blue. Blue!

That's Ivor!

Ivor is going to Soren's.
We need to move!

It's not too far.

[mockingly] avoiding all the nighttime

Yeah, I don't want the Wither Storm
catching up with us. We should go now.

Okay, everyone, let's get moving.

Yo, we haven't really gotten
the chance to chat yet.

Oh. Hello.

Gabe over there says you saved him
from this Wither Storm thing.

You're pretty tough, huh?

I'm just doing my best
to keep everyone safe.

Humility. Nice. I can dig it.

What's the deal with your buddy Axel?

Can't tell if he's awesome
or a little bit of a dork.

He's just a little, uh, doofy, you know?

He's like a little puppy.

You don't know whether you wanna hug it
or just walk away.

You know what I'm talking about?

Yeah, he's kind of a jerk sometimes,
but he's our jerk, you know?

Can't help but like him.

Interesting. Very interesting.

Then why didn't you listen
to his plan to come get me?

I figured that we needed brains
to fight the Wither Storm, and...

brains means Ellegaard.

Yeah, I've definitely heard that a lot.
[laughs]

I'll try not to let it hurt my feelings
too much.

Well, just keep on your toes.

[Wither Storm growls]

Uh, guys?

[growling]

I told you it was gonna catch up with us!

Oh, my. You really weren't kidding.

No. Not again.

Well, we can hash that out later.
Come on, we gotta get out of here!

Not again. Not again.

Soren's isn't much farther.
We can make it!

[panting]

I am getting very tired
of this Wither Storm.

Agreed.

Soren's place has gotta be just ahead.
Come on!

[squealing]

Soren really lived down here?

It's so far from... anyone.

-Enchanting, isn't it?
-[coughing]

[Lukas] Yeah, and I'm really not feeling
those columns.

Aw, come on! It's fine! Look!

Whoo!

-[Reuben snorting]
-[grunting]

-[squealing]
-Just don't fall, okay?

Oh, that is deep.
That is very, very deep.

-Oh.
-[Reuben squealing]

Hang on! I'm coming!

-[Reuben squealing]
-[screams]

[grunts]

[Enderman grunting]

[Jesse] Oh, man. We've got Endermen.

[Reuben squealing]

[Lukas] Ah!

It was, uh... [chuckles]
more of a drop than I was expecting.

[Enderman grunting]

-[Lukas] Endermen.
-[Jesse] There are so many.

I didn't think they ever came
in groups that big.

No kidding.
It's like an Enderman party.

I heard your voice and thought
I would come down to help. [chuckles]

Yeah, he's kind of a jerk sometimes,
but he's our jerk, you know?

Can't help but like him.

Interesting. Very interesting.

Then why didn't you listen
to his plan to come get me?

I figured that we needed brains
to fight the Wither Storm, and...

brains means Ellegaard.

Yeah, I've definitely heard that a lot.
[laughs]

I'll try not to let it hurt my feelings
too much.

Well, just keep on your toes.

[Wither Storm growls]

Uh, guys?

[growling]

I told you it was gonna catch up with us!

Oh, my. You really weren't kidding.

No. How could it find me again?

Well, we can hash that out later.
Come on, we gotta get out of here!

Will this creature never stop?

Soren's isn't much farther.
We can make it!

[panting]

I am getting very tired
of this Wither Storm.

Agreed.

Soren's place has gotta be just ahead.
Come on!

[squealing]

Soren really lived down here?

It's so far from... anyone.

-Enchanting, isn't it?
-[coughing]

[Lukas] Yeah, and I'm really not feeling
those columns.

Aw, come on! It's fine! Look!

Whoo!

-[Reuben snorting]
-[grunting]

-[squealing]
-Just don't fall, okay?

Oh, that is deep.
That is very, very deep.

-Oh.
-[Reuben squealing]

Hang on! I'm coming!

-[Reuben squealing]
-[screams]

[grunts]

[Enderman grunting]

[Jesse] Oh, man. We've got Endermen.

[Reuben squealing]

[Lukas] Ah!

It was, uh... [chuckles]
more of a drop than I was expecting.

[Enderman grunting]

-[Lukas] Endermen.
-[Jesse] There are so many.

I didn't think they ever came
in groups that big.

No kidding.
It's like an Enderman party.

I heard your voice and thought
I would come down to help. [chuckles]

That was pretty reckless, Lukas.
You could've gotten hurt!

[Reuben squeals]

-[shrieks]
-[both screaming]

[grunts]

[screams]

[gasping]

[screams]

Reuben, jump!

[squeals]

[screams]

[Magnus] Oh, be quiet!
It's just a pointless building.

That's all I'm saying.
I mean, look at--

[Ellegaard] Magnus, if an artist painted
the inside of your mind,

he'd end up with the most extraordinary
desertscape paintings.

That's it! I'm going.

Once again, it falls to me
to take care of everything.

I'll find this super TNT myself!

[Magnus] Oh, no, no, no!

You do not get to be
the one who walks away.

That's it! I'm going.

See? I'm walking away, too, now.

Super TNT, here I come!

It's hard to pick "glass half full"
when they keep kicking the glass over.

Bickering is kind of their deal.

But hopefully they'll work things out
and get on with the important stuff.

What are we gonna do now?
Where should we go?

Let's figure it out.

Gabriel.

Are you okay?

I know it's not the best time,
and I... I don't want to worry you,

but there's something I'd like to discuss
with you in private, Jesse.

But let's split up.

I'm aware that letting them
head off alone was risky, but...

I need to talk to you
about a private matter.

Hey, whatever it is, I trust you.
You can tell me.

Thank you for being so understanding.

I'm so glad to see
my old friends together again.

-I don't want to ruin it with this.
-What?

You may have succeeded in getting me away
from the Wither Storm, but...

I fear it was already too late.

What is that?
What's wrong with your arm?

Tell me, do you know what Wither is?

The Wither?

-Of course, we've been--
-No, just Wither.

Or Wither sickness,
to be more descriptive.

It is something I've contracted
before in my travels,

but it always wears off.

It seems that Ivor's monster
exudes a Wither sickness

that is decidedly more fatal.

Well, we're going to go back
and tell the others.

We can get help.

No, Jesse.
You can't tell anyone about this.

[gasps]

-[Gabriel] What?
-[hisses]

Creeper! Look out!

[screams]

Take my hand! I'll pull you up!

-[grunts]
-[screams]

My strength is compromised.
I couldn't maintain my hold!

I'm so sorry!

Jesse, are you all right?

Are you hurt? Jesse?

[Reuben whimpering]

Go and find the others!

Hopefully, you can find a way
to get down to me or something.

Time to be a hero again.

Stay safe. I'll find a way down to you.

[squealing]

[amulet chiming]

Hey, show yourself! Who's there?

[gasps] You!

Trying to interfere
with my plans again, I see.

What are you doing down here?

Being rudely interrupted by you, clearly.

I'm here with the Order
to find Soren's super TNT.

We're going to take down
your Wither Storm.

The Order? [laughs]

Believe me, that plan will blow up
in their faces in more ways than one.

They cannot help you.

But me? I choose not to.

Sorry, Ivor, I'm--

[Gabriel] Stop right there, Ivor!

-Gabriel! You're alive!
-Against all your best efforts, Ivor.

Look at what you've done.

I never dreamt that even you
could be this twisted!

Save your posturing, Gabriel.

We both know your words
have always been hollow,

just like the Order.

You're not going anywhere, Ivor,
at least not in one piece.

Your threats pass harmlessly through me,
but this sword will pass through you!

[both grunting]

Just let him go, Gabriel.
He's not worth it.

I'm sorry, Jesse,
but I can't just let him live.

[Ivor] I'm the only one who can stop
the Wither Storm.

Not you, not the Order!

Don't make yourselves the villains
in my story.

[shouts]

-Stay and fight, you coward!
-[Ivor screams]

This could have all been avoided.

If you want to stop me,
you'll have to catch me first.

Look out, Jesse!
He's using a Potion of Swiftness!

We mustn't let him escape!

[laughs] I'm like the wind!

Out of my way!

I'll cut through you if I have to!

[Ivor groans]

Don't tempt your fate.

[Jesse screams]

[panting]

It didn't have to go this way, Jesse.
You could've just let me go. [laughs]

Now you see me, now you...

[Ivor laughing]

It's one of his invisibility potions.
He could be anywhere!

Invisible or not,
he isn't going to get by me.

-[grunts]
-[Ivor laughing]

-[grunts]
-[Ivor laughing]

[both grunt]

Please, Ivor, just stand down.

[Ivor] This one's on you,
you puffed-up fool.

[grunts]

[groans] There's no time for this.
[panting]

[panting]

-Jesse! Gabriel!
-[Ivor] Even more of you?

Will this parade of useless babblers
never cease?

-What's going on?
-We found Ivor.

-We stopped him.
-[scoffs] False.

You have stopped nothing.

A query.

Have you ever seen the effects
of a Splash Potion of Slowness?

What...

[in slo-mo] are you talking about?

You big jerk!

[Petra] Get back here!

Magnus and Ellegaard may think
they can stop me,

that they can destroy the Wither Storm,
but they are mistaken.

And it will cost them their lives.

Uh, dude!

-[Reuben snorts]
-[gasps]

-[Ghast shrieks]
-[both shouting]

Ow! Ow! Ow!

[Jesse] The mine carts!

Why does it hate us so much?

[Ghast shrieks]

[Axel] Hurry!
Use something on that Ghast.

Okay, think fast, Jesse.
What to choose?

[Ghast shrieks]

[Axel grunts]

Time to move, buddy! Let's go!

[Reuben squeals]

You were awesome, Jesse!

With that Ghast
and chasing the mine cart...

That is, like, the perfect warm-up
for when we get to Boomtown.

-Boomtown?
-Yeah, Boomtown!

This is it!

[Reuben squealing]

I, uh, I think I'm gonna hold off

on the whole "going first" thing
for a while, Jesse.

How about you take this one?

[theme music playing]

[screams]

[screaming, grunting]

Just be careful, okay? One wrong step...

[all screaming]

[panting, grunts]

-[screaming]
-[Jesse] Ah!

[expl*si*n]

[Jesse gasps]

[clucking]

[panting] Whoa! You see that?

Utter chaos, man!

[snorts]

[griefer] Your loot is mine, brigand!
[laughs]

[Nohr laughing]
You'll have to catch me first, anvil foot!

-[expl*si*n]
-Whoa.

Um, I hope they're okay.

And if they're not,
at least they died doing what they loved.

Well, here you have it, Jesse.
Boomtown in all its glory!

What do you think?

Wow. Boomtown sure does
keep you on your toes.

-Exciting stuff, huh?
-Yeah, yeah, now you're getting it!

Dude, it's freaking glowing!

Dude, I think you're onto something there.

Yeah, well, the green part is.

That's weird.

Yeah.

And look!

It glows brighter when I move it
in certain directions.

Easy does it.

-Easy.
-Maybe to the left.

No, the right. I mean, your left.

Right. I mean.

You're right. About left.

-Axel, you're stressing me out with that.
-[amulet chiming]

-[Axel] Whoa!
-[Jesse] Whoa!

-[Reuben squeals]
-Ding, ding!

Looks like that spire
is where we'll find Magnus!

Hey there, new people.

You, uh... you said
you know where Magnus is?

Just leave us alone, okay?

It's none of your business.

Hmm. I'm afraid to say that you're just
making me wonder even more

what the heck is up with that thing.

[griefer] What's going on?

Nohr found some noobs
with a thingy that can find Magnus.

-Jesse?
-How about you help us, huh?

I promise, it's to help save the world.

Yeah, sounds complicated.

I'd prefer you just
handing over the thingy.

-[Jesse gasps]
-[Axel] Get back here with that!

I am Nohr,

and I shall use this amulet to find Magnus
and become the new--

No!

[griefers laughing]

Bunch of noobs!

Hey, are they going the same way?

They're working together.

This is just how we do it in Boomtown!

Which one took the amulet?

I'll get the one with the fishing pole,
you get the little blue-haired creep!

[panting]

-Think fast!
-Whoa!

Your training is coming along nicely,
noob!

Just give me the amulet!

Jeez, pal. No need to shout. Here--

[expl*si*n]

My turn!

[griefer laughing]

[shouting]

[Jesse and griefer grunting]

[Reuben squeals]

Hey, did Nohr come this way?

Yeah, and she had the amulet again.

Stop right there!

How about no? [laughs]

Ah! These bricks will take forever
to punch through.

Luckily, I think I found us
a punch-free entrance.

[grunting]

[panting]

Okay, little amulet, show me the way.

Of course, not sure what I'll do
when I get there,

but that's Future Nohr's problem.

I bet Future Nohr is very successful.

[both grunting]

Give it back!
This is more important than you know!

[grunts]

-[fuse hissing]
-Uh-oh.

-Not again!
-[explodes]

[grunts, groans]

Ha! Nice!
What did I tell you about teamwork?

[Nohr] What? I'm the one who said
we should work together.

-No, you didn't! Give me that!
-Give it back!

[gasps] Got it! I actually got it!

-[Nohr] Quick, flush them out!
-[fuse hissing]

-[explodes]
-[grunts]

[clamoring]

Axel, Magnus is somewhere
in that building above us!

He's gotta be close!

Then quick, toss me the amulet!

You're surrounded by griefers
and they're gonna tear you apart!

Well?

Jesse, we need to move now!

Axel, no offense, but I am not letting
this thing out of my sight,

or my hand, ever again.

Don't worry, man. I got this.

Okay, well, hurry.

I'll try and cover you.

Guys! Hey, guys! I've got the amulet!

Hey, I hate all the things
that guy is saying!

It makes me so mad!

Oh, for the love of-- [grunts]

Oh, come on.

[screams]

[screams]

Stupid arrows!

[grunts]

[screams, grunts]

[exhales] Oh, boy.

-Whew!
-Jesse! You made it.

[Jesse] You don't need to sound
so surprised.

Everything go okay?

Long story!

Lots of throwing eggs at griefers.

Well, sounds exciting.

Totally was.

-You still got the amulet?
-Yep! Let's go!

Look out for booby traps, okay?

-[all screaming]
-[Reuben squealing]

[screaming, grunting]

-[Reuben squealing]
-[grunting]

[Magnus] You are completely surrounded
by hundreds of hidden death traps.

One step closer... and kaboom!

[Axel] It's Magnus!

We totally got caught by Magnus.

[groans]

I think we're gonna die now.

Did you really think
you could sneak up on me?

Ha! You're two of the worst griefers
I've ever met.

And a pig? Really?

Hardly stealthy.

[Reuben grunting]

Oh, yeah?
Well, "oink oink oink" to you, pork chop!

Hey, no griefers here.
No way.

We came from way out of town
to find you.

Oh, really?

I mean, that guy,
he's got griefer written all over him.

Yeah, well, that's because
he's your biggest fan.

Look at him.

I mean, not, like, "biggest" fan.

Right.

So tell me something, "not griefers."
How'd you find me?

Gabriel sent us on this mission.

Gabriel? [laughs]

You're seriously telling me
you're buddy-buddy with Gabriel?

You know how often people try
and tell me that one?

-This is all sounding pretty weird, dudes.
-[Jesse shouts]

Who are you, really? Why are you here?

The world is being destroyed.

You have me intrigued. Go on.

There's a huge monster
eating up the entire world,

and nothing can stop it.

Magnus, you've gotta come with us.
You might be the only chance we have.

Give me one reason why,
for even a second, I should come with you.

You're supposed to be a hero, Magnus!

And right now, the world needs a hero.

You can come with us
and help stop this disaster.

All this stuff you've told me...

you expect me
to just take your word for it?

Two strangers with wild stories...

and nothing to show for it.

Except an amulet that's not theirs.

Are you that paranoid?
Do you really not trust anyone?

That's how I've survived this long.

Please, just trust us.
Just for a minute, okay?

Okay, okay, you sold me. I'm in.

-[Reuben squealing]
-[explosions]

Oh, but we might have a little bit
of a problem getting out of here.

-[laughs]
-[Axel] Huh?

You're Magnus.
You can just walk out of here.

Hello! I don't know
if you've looked around this place,

but, uh, it's kind of full of griefers.

-But that's kind of awesome, right?
-[scoffs] No.

You've heard about the whole "challenging
the king for his crown" thing, right?

It's, like, their thing.

So long as I'm king,
I can't leave this tower.

But you're Magnus. No one can beat you.

And that's the problem.

Simply put,
that's life as King of Boomtown.

[laughs]

Just choose a new king
and then come with us.

Look, I've beaten them dozens of times,
and none are worthy.

They'll see right through it.

But you? Ha!

You're the newcomer with the gold amulet.

By now, there'll probably be all sorts
of rumors about how awesome you are.

If you beat me,
then I'll be able to leave.

Can't believe I didn't think of it before!

They're gonna call this
"the fight of the century"!

Yeah, but assuming I won,
wouldn't I be stuck here, then?

Nah, you're not as legendary as me.

Should be easy enough
to throw another fight

or just give up the crown
with way lower-level griefers.

The trick is don't become a legend.

But looking at you... [chuckles]
I don't think...

Well, anyway.

[laughs] Oh, this is gonna be good.
I'm actually excited about this.

But we gotta make sure it looks legit.

The Death Bowl has never seen
the carnage that we're about to create!

Hey, what's the Death Bowl?

This is the Death Bowl!

I love mayhem!

Peekaboom!

Welcome, ladies and gentlegriefers,
to the Death Bowl.

In one corner, we have Magnus,
your King of Boomtown,

prepared to defend his title and crown.

So, Tiny, welcome to the Death Bowl,

the grief-off to end all grief-offs.

How do you wanna fake this?

We'll start off small,
and then I'll throw some TNT at you.

Just let it graze you
and we'll call it a finish, all right?

Okay, something about TNT.
Awesome.

And you, what name do you go by?

They call me "the Amulet Holder"!

You heard the name, folks.

Give a big Death Bowl welcome

to the Amulet Holder!

Then let's begin!

Opponents will craft
their own griefing towers,

which they will then use
to grief each other.

-The only rule is--
-[griefer] That there are no rules!

[announcer] No eye-poking.

Other than that, go crazy!

Seriously. Oh!

Amulet Holder,
pick your building material!

And, Magnus, you--

Nah, I'm good.
Brought my own supply.

Let the griefing begin!

Some stone.

-Some pink wool.
-[squeals]

Pink wool it is.

Hmm. Not bad, not bad.

Guess it'll have to do.

Axel, what are you doing
over there on his side?

Yeah, thought you might bring that up.

It's just that Reuben
wanted to take your corner,

and I didn't wanna crowd him or anything,
so I thought I'd watch from over here.

[crowd cheering]

[Magnus] Take your best shot!

And that's how you shouldn't throw an egg!

Ha! You grief with me,
you grief with the best!

-Ah!
-[chicken clucking]

So, Amulet Holder,
taking an amulet isn't enough.

You need to take my crown as well?

I do not discriminate
in my accessory-taking.

Your crown shall be mine.

[chicken clucking]

You are but a student.

Prepare yourself, for I am here
to give you your final lesson!

[grunts]

Er, um, that was just a warning.

[griefer] What?
A warning that you need glasses?

It seems the student
has become the master,

and the Amulet Holder will win the day!

[griefer] Don't know what that means,
but I love it

and want to put it on a T-shirt!

[screams]

But what happened
to getting hit by my TNT?

Nobody messes with the Boom Master!

Uh-oh.

Jesse! Jesse, you okay?

Had enough yet?

All righty, I think Noob Time is over.

We've had some nice laughs,
but now they must come to a close...

and you should run home.

And what part
of throwing the fight was that?

What say you, noob?

I am king, and those who challenge me
will be annihilated!

Jesse, I think he just lost it.

[griefer] Magnus, craft a cannon!

Yeah, finish it with a cannon!

If it's a cannon you want,
it's a cannon you'll get!

Yep, he's completely lost it.
Dude's going for the k*ll!

Jesse, you'd better craft the--
I don't know, greatest thing of your life.

Like, right now!

Wait, there's still some material
in the chest.

[Axel] That's it, Jesse. Go!

Hey, Axel. Check it out. Ha!
That should hold him.

Yeah, it's... Yeah... Um...
Yeah, it might do.

But, Jesse, look.

[laughing maniacally]

But you were supposed to throw the fight.

[laughing maniacally]

[grunts] Ah!

Oh!

-[Axel] Jesse, look out!
-[screams]

[laughing]

[squealing]

[groans, grunts]

[panting]

[snorting]

-Get off! No pigs allowed!
-[squealing]

Stuff! I got cool stuff coming your way!

I got you an arrow for your bow!
I think it's enchanted.

A bow? In a cannon fight?

Axel, there are all sorts
of clichéd lines about this!

Yeah, but the TNT, inside the cannon!

TNT plus arrow...

Oh, yeah.

-Time to see how well you fly, pig!
-Reuben!

-Boom!
-[squealing]

I gotcha, I gotcha.

Man, you smell delicious right now.

Hey, Magnus!

Yeah, short stuff?

Flying pig jokes are totally played out.

[laughing maniacally]

[shouts]

[explosions]

-[screaming]
-[snorts]

[all gasp]

[Magnus] No! [groans]

[screams, grunts]

We have a winner!

The Amulet Holder!

[all cheering]

Gonna say something there, champ?

It's just the winner sometimes,
I don't know, gives a speech.

Pontificates.

Orates. Say something.

Who likes explosions?

That's right! Yeah, you do!

And that's why I'm standing up here today!

Well, you guys ready, then?

[laughs] Oh, yeah!

This'll be a way easier target
than Magnus.

Wait, what's going on?

Oh, well, that's not good.

Is that your Wither Storm?

[growling]

How are we--? What are we--? That's...

[all screaming]

Oh, no. Oh, no.

No! Oh, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no!

Magnus, come on!

-You'll regret messing with Boomtown!
-Go!

Okay, just a little farther!

Wow! Someone really went bonkers
with the defenses, huh?

[both grunting]

-[hissing]
-[gasps]

Whoa!

[Lukas] Who goes there?

Oh, Jesse? Is that you?

-Lukas, did you build all this?
-Well, yeah.

I figured I would try
and fortify the place, you know?

[Jesse] Nice!

Quick, come on!

You guys are never gonna believe
who showed up while you were gone.

Gabriel!

Hello, everyone.

It is good to see you.

He showed up not too long before you guys.

Magnus, my old friend.

You always were a tough cookie
to keep down.

[Magnus laughs]

It's good to see you.

It's good to see you, too,
you old meathead.

Aw. And it's especially good
to see you, Jesse.

I feared that you might be
the last face I ever saw.

Getting here was hard.

It's such a relief to see you.

I'm glad you're okay.

If you hadn't pulled me out
of the Wither Storm's clutches...

Well, let's just not think about that.

I came here to the temple,

hoping against hope
to find other survivors.

Wow.

Did Petra get away, too? Did you see?

All that creature left in its wake
was bedrock.

All those people, your friend Petra...

No one could get away.

We are alive,
and that means there's still hope.

Come along. Everyone else is still inside.

[Magnus] Wow.
Been a while since I've been here.

Whoa.

What is she doing here?

Oh, this isn't going to go well.

Right. Um, I forgot to mention.

Olivia went on a little expedition
of her own while you were gone.

And this "Olivia" person
came back with her?

Did you know about this?

Jesse, Jesse!
Look, I found Ellegaard!

Just hang on a sec, okay?
I'll go figure out what's going on.

Good. You do that.

Easy now, Olivia.
Let's try and play it cool, hmm?

So, who are you, now?
And why did you bring him with you?

Yeah, and you two
are going to have to get along, okay?

We didn't even know
you were gonna be here.

If he's nice, I'll be nice, too.

It was kind of crazy, actually.

I went to Redstonia,

and there were all these incredible
engineers and inventors.

It was a little intimidating, actually,
but Ellegaard's made me her protégé!

Well, assistant for now.

She might have, well,
embarrassed herself a tiny bit.

Yeah, but after I pled my case,
she agreed to take me on as her assistant

and come back to help.

Not bad, right?

Well, I'm the King of Boomtown!

Very impressive!

Oh, hooray! It's Ellie!

And here I was
just starting to enjoy myself.

Hello, Magnus.

Your voice is exactly as pleasant
as I remember.

Which is to say, not at all.

Ow! My feelings!

Is that the same wit you're going to use
to save the world?

[Ellegaard] Why? You here to tell me
how to do it better?

[Magnus] Oh!
I would never dream of doing that.

Unlike you, I actually do things,
instead of just talking about them.

Hey, that's Ellegaard you're talking to!
Show her some respect!

Wow. You finally found yourself
a live one.

Hey!

Your little devotees are usually
a little more on the bookish side.

Leave her out of this, Magnus.
This is between the two of us.

Oh, I started ignoring her ages ago.

-Olivia, I'd just stay out of this.
-But--

Your friend's right, Olivia.
I've got this just fine on my own.

Uh, people, can we please focus
on the bigger picture?

We have a very hungry Wither Storm

in the process of turning the whole world
into its dinner.

Yeah, I'll admit,
that thing looked real nasty.

And I've seen some nasty stuff in my time.

Too much for you, was it?
Your usual brutish approach didn't cut it?

Hey! You weren't there, all right?

You didn't see how this thing
just tore everything up.

You've never seen anything like it.

Would you two stop fighting?!

-Whoa!
-Yikes!

Jesse speaks the truth.

We must find a way
to defeat that monstrosity.

I don't know if you've looked around,

but this place isn't the stronghold
it used to be.

Most of our supplies are gone.

It would take a mountain of TNT
to k*ll that thing!

I hate to say it, but you have a point.

Can we start crafting some, then?

I don't think we got that kind of time.

If only Soren were here.
He might have something we could use.

Oh, Ellie, not this again.

There's something stronger than TNT?

Soren had a kind of super TNT,

stronger and more expl*sive
than anything else in the world.

The formidi-b*mb.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I've heard all about the F-b*mb before.

Well, the formidi-b*mb sounds perfect!

We should go get it now!

Well, there's a little problem there.

We don't know where Soren is.

But you found us.
Do you know where he is?

[Ellegaard] Our map could locate him.

Unless he's in the Nether or the End.

But it's worth a shot.

I bet we can find him!

Jesse, do you still have
the amulet I gave you?

Of course.

All right, there's your light, my light...

That's new.

There he is.

Soren had his fortress
deep inside the mountains.

After the Order broke up,

that's where he went
to keep doing his experiments.

Look, he invited me there a couple times,
but it always seemed a little...

Weird, right?
It always seemed a little weird.

Then let's stop hanging around here
and go get us some super TNT!

Whoa.

Blue. Blue!

That's Ivor!

Ivor is going to Soren's.
We need to move!

It's not too far.
We could probably make it on foot.

Perfect.

We can wait till tomorrow morning
and travel with a full day's sunlight.

Uh, and risk that thing
catching up with us?

Think I've had enough Wither Storm
for one day, thank you very much.

Right, because getting caught out there
in the dark is so much better.

Yeah, I don't want the Wither Storm
catching up with us. We should go, now.

Okay, everyone, let's get moving.

-Jesse, right?
-Oh, hello.

We haven't had the chance
to acquaint ourselves properly.

According to Gabriel,
you saved him from this Wither Storm.

Sounds like you're
a pretty impressive individual.

I'm just doing my best
to keep everyone safe.

I can always appreciate humility.
I like you.

A slight tangent.
What's the deal with your friend Olivia?

I appreciate her enthusiasm,
but she can be a little much sometimes.

She's always very eager
to jump in and help.

Which is sweet, of course,

though sometimes I wish she would think
a bit more before jumping in.

Especially when she keeps
getting in over her head.

I don't know if you caught this,
but she's, like, your biggest fan.

You probably just make her nervous.

That's an excellent point.
Hadn't thought about that.

Seems like you respect her a lot.

Why didn't you listen to her plan
to come and recruit me?

I figured that we needed firepower,

and no one knows destruction
better than Magnus.

The man does know how to blow things up
with reckless abandon, that's for sure.

I'll do my best
to not let it hurt my feelings.

[chuckles] Joke. That was a joke.

[Wither Storm growls]

Uh, guys?

[growling]

I told you it was gonna catch up with us!

Oh, my. You really weren't kidding.

No! How could it find me again?

Well, we can hash that out later.
Come on, we gotta get out of here!

Will this creature never stop?

Soren's isn't much farther.
We can make it!

[panting]

I am getting very tired
of this Wither Storm.

Agreed.

Soren's place has gotta be just ahead.
Come on!

[squealing]

Soren really lived down here?

It's so far from... anyone.

-Enchanting, isn't it?
-[coughing]

[Lukas] Yeah, and I'm really not feeling
those columns.

Aw, come on!
It's fine! Look!

Whoo!

[Reuben snorting]

-[squealing]
-Just don't fall, okay?

Oh, that is deep.
That is very, very deep.

-Oh!
-[Reuben squealing]

Hang on! I'm coming!

-[Reuben squealing]
-[screaming]

[grunts]

[Enderman grunting]

[Jesse] Oh, man. We've got Endermen.

[Reuben squealing]

[Lukas] Ah!

It was, uh... [chuckles]
more of a drop than I was expecting.

[Enderman grunting]

-[Lukas] Endermen.
-[Jesse] There are so many.

I didn't think they ever came
in groups that big.

No kidding.
It's like an Enderman party.

I heard your voice and thought
I would come down to help. [chuckles]

I don't understand.
How did you escape?

You pulled me out
of that Wither Storm's clutches,

and I ran and ran and ran for the temple.

If you hadn't saved me...

Well, I owe you everything, Jesse.

Wow. Did Gabriel get away, too?
Did you see?

It's all a blur, but the Wither Storm
left almost nothing behind.

Everything, everyone was just gone.

It even got Gabriel.

[Magnus] Wow.
Been a while since I've been here.

Whoa.

What is she doing here?

Call this a hunch,
but do you two not like each other?

Right. Um, I forgot to mention.

Olivia went on a little expedition
of her own while you were gone.

And this "Olivia" person
came back with her?

Did you know about this?

Jesse, Jesse! Look, I found Ellegaard!

Just hang on a sec, okay?
I'll go figure out what's going on.

Good. You do that.

Easy now, Olivia.
Let's try and play it cool, hmm?

So, who are you, now?
And why did you bring him with you?

I don't understand.
How did you escape?

If you hadn't pulled me out
of the Wither Storm's clutches...

Well, let's just not think about that.

I came here to the temple,

hoping against hope
to find other survivors.

Wow. Did Petra get away, too?
Did you see?

All that creature left in its wake
was bedrock.

All those people, your friend Petra...

No one could get away.

We are alive,
and that means there's still hope.

Come along.
Everyone else is still inside.

[Magnus] Wow.
Been a while since I've been here.

Whoa.

Oh, this isn't going to go well.

Right. Um, I forgot to mention.

Did you know about this?

Jesse, Jesse! Look, I found Ellegaard!

Just hang on a sec, okay?
I'll go figure out what's going on.

Good. You do that.

Easy now, Olivia.
Let's try and play it cool, hmm?

So, who are you, now?
And why did you bring him with you?

Hey, come on, Magnus is awesome!

And he's gonna help us
with this Wither Storm.

You really believe that? [scoffs] Wow.

It was kind of crazy, actually.

I went to Redstonia,

and there were all these incredible
engineers and inventors.

It was a little intimidating, actually,
but Ellegaard's made me her protégé!

Oh, I started ignoring her ages ago.

Magnus, as the ruler of Boomtown,
I command you to shut up!

Is that so?

Uh, people, can we please focus
on the bigger picture?

We have a very hungry Wither Storm

in the process of turning the whole world
into its dinner.

Yeah, I'll admit,
that thing looked real nasty.

He wasn't on the map.

I'm very curious to see it.
I've never actually seen it work before.

All right, there's your light, my light...

That's new.

There he is.

Soren had his fortress

and go get us some super TNT!

Whoa.

Blue. Blue!

That's Ivor!

Ivor is going to Soren's.
We need to move!

It's not too far.
We could probably make it on foot.

Perfect.

We can wait till tomorrow morning
and travel with a full day's sunlight.

Uh, and risk that thing
catching up with us?

Think I've had enough Wither Storm
for one day, thank you very much.

Right, because getting caught
out there in the dark is so much better.

Yeah, I don't want the Wither Storm
catching up with us. We should go, now.

Okay, everyone, let's get moving.

-Jesse, right?
-Oh, hello.

We haven't had the chance
to acquaint ourselves properly.

I hear that you saved your friend Petra
from this Wither Storm.

Sounds like you're
a pretty impressive individual.

I'm just doing my best
to keep everyone safe.

I can always appreciate humility.
I like you.

A slight tangent.
What's the deal with your friend Olivia?

I appreciate her enthusiasm,
but she can be a little much sometimes.

She's always very eager
to jump in and help.

Which is sweet, of course,

though sometimes I wish she would think
a bit more before jumping in.

Especially when she keeps
getting in over her head.

He wasn't on the map.

Jesse, do you still have
the amulet I gave you?

Of course.

All right, there's your light, my light...

That's new.

There he is.

Soren had his fortress
deep inside the mountains.

After the Order broke up,

that's where he went
to keep doing his experiments.

Look, he invited me there a couple times,
but it always seemed a little...

Weird, right?
It always seemed a little weird.

Then let's stop hanging around here
and go get us some super TNT!

Whoa.

Blue. Blue!

That's Ivor!

Ivor is going to Soren's.

According to Gabriel,
you saved him from this Wither Storm.

Sounds like you're
a pretty impressive individual.

I'm just doing my best
to keep everyone safe.

I can always appreciate humility.
I like you.

Olivia's one of my best friends.

She's smart and she always has a plan.

Oh, wow. Interesting.

So, why didn't you listen to her plan
to come and recruit me?

I figured that we needed firepower,

and no one knows destruction
better than Magnus.

The man does know how to blow things up
with reckless abandon, that's for sure.

I'll do my best
to not let it hurt my feelings.

[laughs] Joke.That was a joke.

[Wither Storm growls]

Uh, guys?

[growling]

I told you it was gonna catch up with us!

Oh, my. You really weren't kidding.

No. Not again.

Well, we can hash that out later.
Come on, we gotta get out of here!

Not again. Not again.

Soren's isn't much farther.
We can make it!

[panting]

I am getting very tired
of this Wither Storm.

Agreed.

Soren's place has gotta be just ahead.
Come on!

[squealing]

Soren really lived down here?

It's so far from... anyone.

-Enchanting, isn't it?
-[coughing]

[Lukas] Yeah, and I'm really not feeling
those columns.

Aw, come on! It's fine! Look!

Whoo!

[Reuben snorting]

-[squealing]
-Just don't fall, okay?

Oh, that is deep.
That is very, very deep.

-Oh!
-[Reuben squealing]

Hang on! I'm coming!

-[squealing]
-[screams]

[grunts]

[Enderman grunting]

[Jesse] Oh, man. We've got Endermen.

[Reuben squealing]

[Lukas] Ah!

It was, uh... [chuckles]
more of a drop than I was expecting.

[Enderman grunting]

-[Lukas] Endermen.
-[Jesse] There are so many.

I didn't think they ever came
in groups that big.

No kidding.
It's like an Enderman party.

I heard your voice and thought
I would come down to help. [chuckles]

[growling]

Oh, my. You really weren't kidding.

No. How could it find me again?

Well, we can hash that out later.
Come on, we gotta get out of here!

Will this creature never stop?

Soren's isn't much farther.
We can make it!

[panting]

I am getting very tired
of this Wither Storm.

Agreed.

Soren's place has gotta be just ahead.
Come on!

Luck sometimes visits the most unskilled
of us, but it never lingers.

Skill, mastery...

these are the things
that will see you defeated!

[griefer] Magnus, craft a cannon!

Yeah, finish it with a cannon!

If it's a cannon you want,
it's a cannon you'll get!

Yep, he's completely lost it.
Dude's going for the k*ll!

Jesse, you'd better craft the--
I don't know, greatest thing of your life.

Like, right now!

Wait, there's still some material
in the chest.

[Axel] That's it, Jesse. Go!

Hey, Axel. Check it out. Ha!
That should hold him.

Yeah, it's... Yeah, um...
Yeah, it might do.

But, Jesse, look.

[laughing maniacally]

But you were supposed to throw the fight.

[laughing maniacally]

[grunts] Ah!

Oh!

-[Axel] Jesse, look out!
-[screams]

[laughing]

[squealing]

[laughing]

[squealing]

[grunts, groans]

[panting]

[Reuben snorting]

-Get off! No pigs allowed!
-[squealing]

Stuff! I got cool stuff coming your way!

I got you a bow and some arrows!

A bow? In a cannon fight?

Axel, there are all sorts
of clichéd lines about this!

Yeah, but the TNT, inside the cannon!

TNT plus arrow...

Oh, yeah.

-Time to see how well you fly, pig!
-Reuben!

-Boom!
-[squealing]

I gotcha, I gotcha.

Man, you smell delicious right now.

Hey, Magnus!

Yeah, short stuff?

Flying pig jokes are totally played out.

[laughing maniacally]

[shouts]

[explosions]

-[screaming]
-[snorts]

[all gasp]

[Magnus] No! [groans]

[screams, grunts]

We have a winner!

The Amulet Holder!

[all cheering]

Gonna say something there, champ?

It's just the winner sometimes,
I don't know, gives a speech?

Pontificates.

Orates. Say something.

Hello, Boomtown!
How we all doing, huh?

[crowd cheering, shouting]

Hey, that's awesome, that's awesome.

I'm so proud to be standing
in front of all of you today.

Well, you guys ready, then?

[laughs] Oh, yeah!

This'll be a way easier target
than Magnus.

Wait, what's going on?

Oh, well, that's not good.

Is that your Wither Storm?

[growling]

How are we...? What are we...? That's...

[all screaming]

Oh, no. Oh, no.

No! Oh, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no!

Magnus, come on!

-You'll regret messing with Boomtown!
-Go!

[Jesse] Hello, Boomtown!
How we all doing, huh?

[crowd cheering, shouting]

Hey, that's awesome, that's awesome.

I'm so proud to be standing
in front of all of you today.

Well, you guys ready, then?

[laughs] Oh, yeah!

[growling]

[all screaming]

Oh, no. Oh, no.

No! Oh, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no!

Magnus, come on!

-You'll regret messing with Boomtown!
-Go!

Seriously? Fishing?

It could work.

Got it! [grunting]

[grunting]

[Ghast shrieks]

Okay, we're all set to go again.

Time to move, buddy! Let's go!

[Olivia] Hitting the powered tracks...
now!

I never doubted you for a second,
but... but that was incredible!

Maybe we have a chance
of getting to Ellegaard after all!

Look, there's the sign! "Redstonia"!

Redstonia, here we come!

You're about to meet the greatest
redstone builders in the world.

Wow! Who would've thought that someday
I'd really get to visit Redstonia,

Ellegaard's capital city of engineering?

Incredible!

Do you think Ellegaard will be willing,
you know, to help us?

[theme music playing]

Have you seen all these inventions?
These inventors are all incredible!

I might know redstone where we come from,
but these people are the real deal, Jesse.

[moos]

I mean, I don't even know
how they're making some of these things!

That's rare for me.

It could work.

We're gonna die.

Got it! [grunting]

[grunting]

[Axel] Hit it, hit it, hit it!

[Ghast shrieks]

[Axel grunts]

Time to move, buddy! Let's go!

You were awesome, Jesse!

With that Ghast
and chasing the mine cart...

That is, like, the perfect warm-up
for when we get to Boomtown.

-Boomtown?
-Yeah, Boomtown!

This is it!

[Reuben squealing]

I... I think I'm gonna hold off

on the whole "going first" thing
for a while, Jesse.

How about you take this one?

[theme music playing]

[screams]

-[screams]
-[grunts]

Just be careful, okay? One wrong step...

[all shout]

[panting] Oh!

[panting]

-[screaming]
-[Jesse] Ah!

[expl*si*n]

[Jesse gasps]

[clucks]

[panting] Whoa! You see that?

Utter chaos, man!

[squealing]

[griefer] Your loot is mine, brigand!
[laughs]

[Nohr laughs]
You'll have to catch me first, anvil foot!

-[expl*si*n]
-Whoa.

Um, I hope they're okay.

And if they're not,
at least they died doing what they loved.

Well, here you have it, Jesse.

Boomtown in all its glory!

What do you think?

Wow. Boomtown sure does
keep you on your toes.

Exciting stuff, huh?

Yeah, yeah! Now you're getting it!

Dude, it's freaking glowing!

Dude, I think you're onto something there.
