01x01 - The Order of the Stone

[bunniefuu]

Oh, hi!

You need to pick which Jesse
you wanna play as.

-Oh! Hello.
-Hey.

I'll have 'em both read
from the script to help you pick.

Okay, let's do this.

[clears throat]

Teamwork makes the dream work.

Nailed it! Pretty great, right?

Oh! [groans]

[sighs]

It seems the student
has become the master,

and the pigs will have their day!

Ooh, another good option!
Tough choice.

Okay, ready?

Go ahead.
Choose which Jesse you wanna play as.

[chuckles]

-I think it's gonna be awesome.
-[Reuben squealing]

-[squeals]
-[Petra] All right! Yes!

[sighs]

Okay, now we can start your game.

Places, everyone!

[cheering, applauding]

[Jesse] Yee-haha!

[narrator]
Nothing built can last forever

and every legend, no matter how great,
fades with time.

With each passing year,
more and more details are lost

until all that remains are myths,
half-truths.

To put it simply, lies.

And yet, in all the known universe,
between here and the Far Lands,

the legend
of the Order of the Stone endures,

unabridged, as self-evident fact.

Indeed, it is only a troubled land
that has need for heroes.

And ours was fortunate to have,

so long ago,
four heroes such as these...

Gabriel the Warrior, before whose sword
all combatants would tremble.

Ellegaard the Redstone Engineer,

whose machines
would spark an era of invention.

Magnus the Rogue,

who would channel his destructive
creativity for the benefit of all.

And Soren the Architect,

builder of worlds
and leader of the Order of the Stone.

These four friends together

would give so much to gain
their rightful place as four heroes.

Their greatest quest would take them
on a dangerous journey

to fight a mysterious creature
known as the Ender Dragon.

[dragon roars]

In the end, the Order of the Stone
emerged victorious

and the dragon was defeated.

Their story complete, they slipped away
into the pages of legend.

But when one story ends,
another one begins.

[Jesse grunting]

Would you rather fight
a hundred chicken-sized zombies

or ten zombie-sized chickens?

[Petra's voice] Okay, Olivia asked
which thing you'd rather fight.

You get to choose what Jesse says next.

Just to be clear, you wouldn't have
any weapons or armor...

[grunts]

...so you'd have to fight them
with your hands.

That's easy. I'll take the, uh,
the little tiny... little zombies.

A hundred of them crawling all over you
with their tiny hands. [groaning]

All I'd need is, like, a shovel.

I'm telling you, way too easy.

So I've got a daylight sensor on the roof.

-And if I did this right...
-[grunts]

...these lamps should turn on
once it gets dark.

I didn't wanna leave Reuben here
with nothing while

-we're at the building competition.
-He's coming with us.

-[Olivia] Really?
-[snorts]

What kind of question is that?
Of course he is.

Okay. I'm not saying he shouldn't come.

I'm not.

But don't you think it's weird
that you take him with you

everywhere you go?

-Reuben's my best friend.
-I thought I was your best friend.

Both of you are.

I didn't mean anything by it.

I'm glad he's coming.

I just don't wanna give people
one more reason to call us "losers."

-Who cares what other people think?
-I know.

I'm just-- It wears you down.

You say you're not a loser, Olivia.
So, win.

-[Reuben squeals]
-Okay. Fine.

-[hissing]
-Do you hear that?

Oh, no.

-Boo!
-[screaming]

[squealing]

[laughs] Oh, man!

You guys totally freaked out!
That was awes--

Axel, what's the matter with you?

Great, now I'm gonna smell like a pig
at EnderCon.

I thought we were buddies.

That wasn't funny, Axel.

I brought you good times,
I'm being punished for it?

You scared us half to death!

Did you bring the fireworks?

Of course I did.

I even brought something
for the little guy.

-Nice!
-You brought Reuben a disguise?

Um, we're going to a convention.
Somebody's gotta wear a costume.

[squeals]

[Jesse] He looks awesome!

[Axel] It only took me, like,
a million hours to build it.

All right, all right.

You definitely brought fireworks, right?

Yes. I'm ready.
Waiting on you guys.

If he was your best friend,

you wouldn't let him go outside
dressed like that.

The only thing more dangerous
than putting a costume on a pig

is trying to take it off.

-Hurry up and grab your stuff.
-We'll meet you downstairs, okay?

Okay!

-[door closes]
-[Reuben snorting]

Hmm, flint and steel.
Not too shabby.

One of these days, we're gonna win
the EnderCon Building Competition.

And when we do,
people will look at us and say,

"Hey, there goes Jesse and Reuben,

winners of the EnderCon
Building Competition."

They really should change the name.

[squeals]

Give me a dragon roar, Reuben.

[roars, snorting]

That'll do, Reuben. That'll do.

[squealing]

That's everything.

-Let's roll.
-Yeah, dude, roll.

-Let's go.
-[Reuben squeals]

I heard a pretty juicy rumor
about the building competition,

but you guys have to promise
not to say anything.

[Olivia] Okay.

Also, it's in two parts,
each part more exciting than the last.

Spit it out, Axel.

Part one: the special guest
at this year's EnderCon

is none other than Gabriel the Warrior
him-freaking-self.

Whoa! What's part two?

Part two: according to my sources,

the winner of the building competition
is gonna get to meet him.

It doesn't mean anything if we lose.

But if we win... oh, man!
This would make up for all the losing.

Meeting Gabriel would be
a dream and an honor.

Totally. He's awesome.
It'd be amazing to meet him.

[Axel] Reuben better be careful
in that costume.

The last time Gabriel saw a dragon,
it didn't end well.

So, does this source of yours
make posters for a living?

Huh?

[Reuben squealing]

Yeah. My, uh, source, uh, doesn't exist.

You guys are my only friends.

Guys, let's stay focused.
We have a competition to win.

[Olivia] We never win.

And this year we've got Reuben with us.

-We're going to win because--
-What are you talking about?

Because up to now we've hated losing.

But today, today, my friends, we're gonna
start learning how to love winning.

That didn't sound
as good as it did in my head.

No, no. I'm with that.

-All right.
-Wait a minute!

We're thinking about this all wrong.

The point of the building competition
isn't just to build something.

We have to do something
to get noticed by the judges.

Okay, then.
So how do we do this?

We don't just build something functional,
we build something fun.

After we finish the fireworks machine
like we planned,

then we build something cool on top of it.

You might be onto something.

If you wanna get a reaction
out of the judges,

you build something scary.

-So I say we build a creeper.
-Wouldn't an Enderman be better?

I'm more scared of Endermen than creepers.

[Axel] They both have their moments,
both pretty scary.

-All right, let's build the creeper.
-You're going with Axel's idea?

-What's wrong with my idea?
-Nothing. It could be totally cool.

-It is cool.
-Yeah.

I think this is the first time
we've decided on something

before getting to the competition.

-Think we've got everything we need?
-It wouldn't hurt to grab a little more.

-Let's get to grabbing, then.
-We're so prepared.

We can't lose. Cannot! Bring it in.

"Dare to prepare" on three.
No. No, no, no.

"Preparing is daring."

No, that's the same thing.
Forget it.

"Team" on three.

One, two, three.

-Team!
-[Axel] Prepare!

[snorting]

[panting, grunting]

[growling]

[muffled shouting]

[breathing heavily]

[grunting]

[sheep bleats]

[grunts]

[squeals]

We know what we're building.
We've got all the stuff for it.

-We are so ready.
-This year, it's going to be different.

I'm not just ready to build,
I'm ready to win.

Nice pig, losers.

-[Jesse groans]
-[Reuben squeals]

[Axel] Oh, great,
there's Lukas and the Ocelots.

The rivalry continues.

Man, they've got matching leather jackets
and everything.

So cool.

Well, well, well,
if it isn't the Order of the Losers.

[laughs] Great, the Fail Squad's here.

-Lukas, get a load of these losers.
-Let's go, guys.

-Name, please?
-Axel. And, uh, how do you do?

No, your team name.

Team name?

We are not ready for this.

So much for losing anonymously.

We're the Order of the Pig.

[squeals]

Really?

Is it meant to tie us to Reuben,
or are you making fun of me?

Okay, Order of the Pig,
you guys are in booth 5.

-[grunting]
-[laughter]

Is that a freakin' beacon?
They have a freakin' beacon?

[Axel] Freakin' beacon?

That's stained glass.

They aren't just building a beacon,
they're building a rainbow beacon.

Our design is better.

A creeper that shoots fireworks
is cooler than a fancy light.

Their difficulty score is going to be
higher than our total score.

We've got something they don't: fireworks.

We should probably stop staring at them.

[mocking laugh]

Look, it's the Order of the Losers...
again.

[laughs] Good one, Gill.

We're just looking.

Plenty of time for you to look at it
after it wins and gets shown at EnderCon.

-You're being unpleasant.
-Maybe not all of you.

EnderCon doesn't allow
outside food or drink.

[squeals]

-Shut up.
-What's that?

Jesse said, "Shut up."
Do you need to hear it again?

I don't know. Maybe.

Stop wasting your time, Aiden.
We've got work to do.

You're lucky I'm busy.

Hey, Jesse. Guys.

-Hey, Petra.
-How's the build going?

Only time will tell, but we're optimistic.

Hey, Petra, I forgot to thank you
for that Nether star.

-Hey, Lukas. Not a problem.
-You helped these tools?

For the right price, I'll help anyone.

If you need anything,
you know where to find me.

[Olivia] None of us know
where to find you.

Exactly.

No hard feelings, guys.

If you're cool with Petra,
you're cool with us.

So why don't we just forget
about all this, and, you know,

make this about how cool our builds are?

We're going to crush you.

[chuckles]

I don't know if you know this,
but we're pretty good.

Oh, wait. I get it.

It's like a joke, right?

No, I'm serious.
We're gonna destroy you.

[Lukas scoffs]

You know, you're really funny.

That's awesome.
Hey, good luck.

Ladies and gentlemen,

welcome to the EnderCon
Building Competition!

The winners of this year's competition

will have their build
featured at EnderCon.

The winners will also meet,
in person, Gabriel the Warrior!

[crowd cheering, applauding]

[group] Ocelots!

Ocelots!

Ocelots!

Whoa! Handshake?

We don't have a handshake.

We'll just make one up.

We'll call it the, uh...

The Warrior Whip!

And just like that, I'm nervous again.

Don't talk like that!
We can do this!

Just stick to the plan,
and everything will be fine.

This year, we can't lose!

Let's do it!

[woman] Building starts... now!

Oh, no! A fireworks dispenser?
I'm so scared!

You worry about your build,
and we'll worry about ours.

And now, the moment of truth.

Here goes nothing.

Oh, man, that looks so cool!
We'll win this for sure.

[Olivia] The creeper was definitely
the right way to go.

-[crowd murmuring]
-Yeah, man!

Guys, people are looking at us.

Good build, man!

What? No way.

It's just a bunch of dyed wool!

[Aiden] Whoops!

-[squealing]
-[Jesse] Oh, no! Reuben's on fire!

-Reuben, no! Come back!
-Aiden! That punk!

-[Olivia] The lava's getting closer.
-[Axel] It will ruin the build.

Reuben's going to get lost!

-You guys stay and save the build.
-[Axel] On it!

[Olivia] We got it covered, Jesse.
Be careful.

[groans]

We'll meet up with you at EnderCon!

[Olivia grunts]

Reuben?
Where are you, buddy?

Just oink if you can hear me.

[Petra's voice] Okay,
now you get to choose where to go.

Go ahead, select a location.

Reuben?

Reuben!

Reuben! Oh, no!
You in there, buddy?

Oh, jeez.
Please don't be toasted, Reuben.

Whew!

[squealing]

Reuben! There you are!

[snorting]

Oh, I'm so happy to see you.

[squeals]

[squeals]

[growling]

-[squealing]
-Reuben, run!

[panting] Whew!

I think... I think we're good.

-Ah!
-[Reuben squealing]

[panting]

[grunts]

I think we made it. Ah!

[Reuben squealing]

[growling]

[squeals]

Back! Get back!

Stay behind me. I got you.

[grunting]

Ah!

Stupid wooden swords!

[growling]

I know it's bad.
I'll think of something.

[Reuben squealing]

[groans]
There's too many of them, buddy!

Don't leave that spot, no matter what.
You hear me?

-[squeals]
-I got you.

-[squealing]
-[growling]

Ah! Get away from him!

-[squealing]
-Oh, no! He got you!

[shouts]

[grunts, shouts]

[grunts] Get off me!

[grunts]

[grunts]

Come on, let's get out of the open.

[growling]

I wanna show you something.

Not that this isn't a really cool,
dimly lit tunnel, but...

how far away is this thing
you wanna show me?

[Petra] Careful, Jesse.

You don't wanna get
a reputation as a wimp.

[stutters] This isn't my first time
in a cave, Petra.

Yeah, but have you ever seen...
a Wither skull?

Whoa!

[Petra] Fresh from the Nether.

That's insane, Petra.
You could've gotten yourself k*lled.

Don't worry so much.
I can handle myself.

There's this guy I'm meeting up with
at EnderCon.

He's gonna trade me a diamond for it.

Why didn't he just go get
the skull himself?

He's not the kind of guy who has time
to do something like that.

What kind of guy is he, then?

The kind who understands
the value of hard work.

-Wow!
-"Wow" what?

In a single day, you went to the Nether,
you k*lled a Wither skeleton...

I mean, I did build a super cool statue,

but still, it's pretty sweet
being you, huh?

-[Reuben squeals]
-You know, you could come with me.

I mean, if you're too nervous,
I totally get it.

But I wouldn't mind a little backup.

You want me to come with you?

Consider it my charitable act for the day.

I'll consider it whatever you want me
to consider it as long as I get to come.

You just keep a crafting table down here?

Comes in handy.

Since that wooden sword of yours
got busted...

-You're giving me a new one?
-Even better. You can make your own.

One stick plus two stones
equals one sword.

-Just grab what you need.
-Oh, okay. Thanks.

Hey, is all this stuff yours?

No, we're just stealing from whoever
was dumb enough to leave this here.

-Of course it's mine.
-Just making sure.

Oh, here we go!

Jackpot!

See? Isn't it better
when you make it yourself?

Check it out. EnderCon's all lit up.

[Jesse] I can't believe it.
We won!

Good for you, Jesse.

It's about time we beat Lukas
and his g*ng of jerks.

What kind of stupid name
is the Ocelots anyway?

You know, Lukas may be kind of arrogant,

but he has come through for me
in tricky situations.

You might wanna get to know him,
just in case.

Yeah, you might be right.

I'm just saying if you run into him
at EnderCon, try talking to him.

I don't need a lecture on the power
of collaboration, Petra.

How about a lecture
on the power of my fists?

It's short, but deadly.

Come on, let's hurry.

[Petra] Remember what EnderCon was like
before it was cool?

[Jesse] Remember what we were like
before we were cool?

-[Petra] Some of us will never be cool.
-Ha ha.

[hissing]

Creepers!

[growling]

Ah!

[Petra] This doesn't look good.

Well, there's only one way
off this bridge.

Whatever we do, we do it together.

Hurry up, Jesse!

All right, let's jump!

[growls]

[theme music playing]

-Oh! Burns! It burns!
-Don't you know?

You dive into the water,
you don't land on top of it.

Pull yourself together and follow me.

[Reuben snorting]

[upbeat music playing]

[clucking]

[indistinct chatter]

So, when we're making the deal,
I need you to let me do the talking, okay?

Should I be nervous about this?

Given your personality,
your life experience,

and everything else you've done
to make it to this moment... yes.

Jesse!

And... Petra?

Hey, you all know Petra,
my new super-close friend.

We're super close now.

We ran into each other
while I was looking for Reuben.

What were you doing in the woods, Petra?

Nothing. Just drawn by the sound
of Jesse's high-pitched screams.

I would've been spider bait
if she hadn't found me.

-Sorry we didn't come with you, Jesse.
-But, hey, we won!

We did okay, didn't we?

I still wish I'd gotten that part
in the back to look better.

[Axel] I could've fit more fireworks
in there somewhere.

-I'm proud of you guys.
-Aw, shucks.

Don't make me blush.
Seriously, don't.

Hey, Jesse, it's time to go
see about that thing.

Oh, right. The "thing."

-Subtle.
-Yeah?

As a punch to the face.

Axel and I were gonna head into EnderCon.
See you in there?

I heard somebody saying
there's free cake by the map booth.

Hurry. We're supposed to meet
in the alley over there.

Dark. Dark. Very dark in here.

That's weird.

He said the dark, creepy alley
close to the gates, but he's not here.

Maybe he's late.

Are you sure this
is the dark, creepy alley he meant?

Hmm, I was.

Okay, new plan.

You stay here just in case
this is the spot he meant,

and I'll look around.

Okay, I'll hold down the fort.

Thanks, Jesse.
I'll be back before you know it.

If he shows up while I'm gone,
just stall for me.

[squeals]

-[man clears throat]
-[shrieks]

And just who are you?

[Reuben squealing]

I'm waiting.

Answer me!

The name's Jesse.
What's it to you?

I'm supposed to meet with Petra,
not whatever you're supposed to be.

Give me one good reason why I shouldn't
walk out of here right now.

You're the guy who needed
a Wither skull, right?

Not so loud, you idiot!

Too many people know my business already.

-Do you have the skull?
-Uh, well...

Petra has it.
She'll be back any minute now.

Well, as long as she's bringing it,

I suppose it wouldn't k*ll me
to wait a minute longer.

Uh, well...

-Ivor!
-Ah, here she is.

Sorry I'm late, but good things
are worth waiting for.

-I've got what you asked for.
-If you have what you promised us.

You didn't say anything about an "us"
when we first met.

And I don't like surprises.

If these are the sorts of people
you associate with,

perhaps we should call
the whole thing off.

My friend is fine. Right, Jesse?
There's no problem here.

Let's not be too hasty, okay?

This is just, uh,
a little misunderstanding.

I'm cool if he's cool.

It's settled, then. You're both cool.

Proceed, then.

[Petra] I'll take that diamond now.

Take it. You've earned it.

Uh, this isn't a diamond.

No, it's lapis.

I knew we couldn't trust that guy!

We're going after him.

I'm either getting that diamond
or I'm getting my skull back.

-Or you'll make him pay, right? Right?
-Come on!

Do you see him anywhere?

We lost him.

Then we'll just have to
find him again. Go!

There he is! Gabriel! Gabriel!

-[usher] Step aside, please!
-[woman] I have just one question!

-'Sup?
-'Sup?

-Nothing. 'Sup with you?
-Nothing. 'Sup with you?

I-I just said. Nothing.

Hey, uh...

congrats on the win.

I mean, I still think our beacon
was amazing, but...

you guys did a pretty good job, too.

I mean, I thought the whole monster theme
was plenty cool, but fireworks, too?

It was...

sorta cool.

You know, that stunt your friend pulled
really hurt my pig.

Okay, maybe,
but I had nothing to do with that.

Hey, you didn't happen to see
a creepy guy with long hair and a beard

roaming around, did you?

I don't think so. Why?

He kind of scammed Petra
out of a diamond earlier.

[laughs] Oh-h*!

Everyone knows you don't mess with Petra,
not if you know what's good for you.

-I'll keep an eye out, okay?
-Thanks. I appreciate it.

So, uh... we're cool?

Yeah, we're cool.

Cool, cool.

-Ha! See you later, Lukas.
-Yeah, see you.

[clucking]

[Axel] Thought you could
wiggle out of that trap, didn't you?

Well, wiggle as much as you want.
You're not going anywhere.

Axel, listen up. Any chance you've seen
a creepy-looking beardy guy anywhere?

No, but Petra told me what happened.

I'm keeping an eye out for him.

Okay, so I got a little distracted.

It's just this machine
presses all my buttons.

Unnecessarily complicated
and mean to birds for no reason.

Stop messing around.
We need your help.

I was looking, I swear.
I've just got a short attention span.

All right, all right! I'll look!

After I watch one more chicken get owned.

Ha! I see you now, weirdo.

Well, if it isn't Team Trashbag!

How's your stupid pig?

Kind of busy right now, man.

What? Busy trying to get a life?

Busy trying to find some friends?

Hey.

-What do you think--
-What do you think you're doing?

-Oh, I'm sorry.
-Get away from me!

I said I was sorry.

[pig squealing]

Reuben? Is that you?

Nothing sticks to your ribs
quite like a juicy pork chop!

-[squealing]
-Reuben!

What's the big idea?
I'm trying to run a business here.

That's my pig!
You kidnapped my pig!

Well, I don't know
what you're talking about, chief.

I found this pig wandering alone
in the streets.

Please! He's my friend!

To me, he's inventory.

I might be amenable to some kind of trade.

Not that you look like
you got much of value. [chuckles]

I gotta get some kind of return
on my investment.

Otherwise, it's straight
to the slaughterhouse for this one.

[Reuben squeals]

Give me back my pig.

All right, you little maniac, fine.

-[squeals]
-Take him, he's yours.

-Come on, Reuben.
-[snorting]

I'm sorry, Reuben.

I was so busy trying to find
that creepy dude, I didn't notice.

[snorting, squealing]

Remember that thing
I had to go do with Petra?

Long story short, we met up with this guy,
he cheated me and Petra on a deal,

now we're trying to track him down.

-You in?
-Oh, I'm in, all right.

Any sign of him?

I thought I saw him earlier,
but it was a false alarm.

Wait, there he is!
Looks like he's headed towards the hall.

We have to get past that usher
to follow him.

Let's go!

So, yeah, hey.

What would it take
to get us inside tonight?

Uh, tickets. [laughs]

This might sound crazy,
but we're on an important mission.

I hope your mission came with tickets
to the show 'cause, I mean, otherwise...

-[clucking]
-Chicken!

Chicken! Chicken! Chicken!

It's gone. You're totally fine.
You're a totally cool dude.

-We have to do something.
-Like what?

-This show has been sold out for ages.
-We need a distraction.

A lot of chickens running around
might be a distraction.

Shoo! Shoo! Get out of here!

The usher is afraid of chickens.

What would you say if I told you
I wanna break this guy's chicken machine

to create the mother of all distractions?

But you have to break that pane of glass.

How are you gonna reach it?

Let's look around.
There has to be something we can do.

[Jesse] Hmm...

I bet I could reach that glass
with a slime block.

Well, you've come to the right place.
Our slime's the best.

Oh, hey! We meet again. [chuckles]

Hey.

One slime block, please.

We don't give out slime blocks here,
just slime ba*ls.

We've got a limited supply today and
we're only giving out two per customer.

-Can I please, please have some slime?
-Ugh! Whatever.

A round of slime ba*ls
for everyone, please.

Wait, this is only eight slime ba*ls.
We need one more to make a block.

Okay, we need to find another way
to get more slime, and quick.

On it!

Hey, uh, Lukas, can you do me a favor?

-Anything's possible.
-I need slime ba*ls.

I swear I have a really good explanation.

-Whatever you guys are doing, count me in.
-Thanks, Lukas.

Told you he was useful.

Aw, man,
this guy isn't actually cool, is he?

Remains to be seen.

It's crafting time.

Ta-da! One slime block!

-Gross!
-I'll take that.

Right there.

It's all you, Jesse.

Give me a boost.

[grunts]

[grunts] Wee!

[clucking]

My poultry!
My precious poultry!

Keep your eyes closed!
They will peck out your eyes!

Ah! [groaning]

Now's our chance!

-Hey!
-[clucks]

[Reuben squealing]

-Where'd he go?
-There!

Through that door!

What do we do once we catch him?

There are a million ways to play this.

But considering this isn't my fight,
I'll follow your lead.

We politely ask for what's ours.

Short, sweet, and to the point.
Not bad.

-You ready?
-Ready.

[squeals]

See anything?

He must have gone out another way.

What is all this?

Looks like it used to be the basement.
Weird place to have a hideout.

I bet you anything
I'll find my Wither skull here.

And if we find anything else cool
to steal along the way, so be it, right?

-Axel, that's not what we're here to do.
-I said we should ask politely, Axel.

Yeah, but if the guy's not here,
we can't ask, so I say we take!

Let's focus on finding the skull,
not stealing.

-Nobody ever lets me have any fun.
-We let you hang out with us.

The faster we find what we're looking for,

the faster we can get
the heck out of here.

Oh, hello.

[both grunt]

Too heavy and too soft.

But super flashy.

You're keeping it?
But I thought it was too soft, too heavy.

Eh, it still might come in handy.

And it is super flashy.

Hey, you still have
that one stone sword, right?

Yep.

[clattering]

Find anything?

I wanna steal that and that.

I just wanna touch that.

Ooh, take a look at this.

You're not gonna believe me,
but I swear I had a dream about this.

Okay, potion.
I know this is a big step, but...

I would be honored
if you'd come home with me.

Come on, Axel. Make yourself useful
and go find that skull.

I am.

Nope. You're literally doing the exact
opposite of what I asked you to do.

There's no way he won't notice
his fancy potion is missing.

A good thief always covers his tracks.

-Fixed it!
-Oh, yeah, the perfect crime.

[sniffing]

Hey, Reuben, find any clues?

-[sniffing]
-What is it, buddy? You smell something?

[squealing]

Something over there?
Good work, Reuben!

[whirring]

-[Jesse] What is all this stuff?
-[Petra] Soul Sand.

-It was everywhere in the Nether.
-What about that block in the middle?

I've never seen one of these before.

I wonder if I just take a closer look...

-Don't touch that, Olivia!
-I was just curious.

Don't forget what we're here for.
Find that skull.

So, good news, weird news.
I found the skull, but...

Why'd I risk my neck for that skull
if he's got two of them already?

Maybe Ivor's some kind of collector.
A trophy hunter.

Or he could be collecting them
to make a bunch of banners.

I think I know what's going on here.

Soul Sand plus three Wither skulls.

That's the recipe for a Wither.

-But a Wither, that's--
-One of the worst monsters there is.

We came down here to find the skull.
Well, we found it.

Maybe we should just grab it
and get out of here while we still can.

[door opens, closes]

-Ah, guys?
-Scatter!

[whirring]

"Don't you recognize me?"

Oh, wait.

"Surprised to see me?"

No, that's not good.

"Thought you were rid of me, didn't you?"

That's better.

-[clinking]
-What was that? Who's there?

Olivia, look out!

What are you doing here?
What did you see?

-Leave him alone!
-Yeah! Back off, pal.

You two?

Did you follow me here?

You thought you could
get away with it, didn't you?

We're here to prove you wrong.

What are you going to do about it?

We know what you're doing down here.

Soul Sand and three Wither skulls?
You're building a Wither!

Huh, smarter than you look.

Hey, nobody talks to my friends like that.

Now shut your mouth... or else.

Enough! You've wasted
too much of my time already.

Where'd he go?

If you won't leave of your own volition,
I'll happily remove you myself.

-[roars]
-Show our friends the door, will you?

[Reuben squeals]

[shouting]

[Petra shouts]

[Reuben squealing]

[Wither roars]

-[Lydia] Oh, man, this is so exciting!
-[Owen] It sure is!

And now, for the first time ever
here at EnderCon,

we are very proud to present...

The one, the only...

[both] Gabriel!

-[dramatic music playing]
-[crowd cheering]

[woman 1] Gabriel!

-Please. Please.
-[woman 2] We love you!

Thank you!

Are you with me?

[cheering]

Everybody okay?

Um, guys...

-where's Lukas?
-I thought he was right behind me.

Well, if he's not here,
the only place he could be is...

-[Jesse] He's still down there!
-Ivor's got an iron golem

and all the ingredients to build a Wither.

If he were to unleash it
in this crowd of people...

We have to act fast.

It just so happens that the greatest
warrior of all time is in the building.

We should ask Gabriel for help.

-This is the smartest way to help Lukas.
-He's tough.

I just hope he's tough enough
to hold out a bit longer.

[Gabriel] ...exploits of the Order
of the Stone than even I do.

But then, it's so easy
to doubt ourselves, isn't it?

It's easy to tell ourselves
we can't do the things we wanna do.

We need Gabriel to get Lukas back.

And to deal with everything else
we saw down there.

We're doing the right thing, Jesse.

I hope Lukas can hold out
against that golem

long enough for us to get help.

-Come on, then.
-Let's crash this party.

With the right training and guidance,

anyone, and I mean anyone,
can become a hero.

You just have to believe it.

I want you to look me in the eyes.

We've gotta push through this crowd
to get to Gabriel.

[Gabriel] Start believing today.

Now, I'd like to open up the floor
for a few questions.

Keep it orderly, folks.

And you, right there in the front row.

You know, when Ellegaard and the dragon--
Um, like, what was her favorite food?

Bread. Next question.

What question do you have
for the mighty Gabriel?

Every person here is in danger!

Now, hold on just a minute.
If this is a joke, it isn't funny.

I'm not joking. Somebody's been building
a monster in the basement.

Hmm. Perhaps we should
have this checked out.

[Ivor] I have a question for you.

Excuse me, sir.
You'll have to wait your turn.

[Ivor] Just tell me first.

Do you really believe
anyone can be great?

With enough hard work, yes.

Was that where I went wrong?
I simply didn't work hard enough?

Ivor?

That's the guy who attacked us
in the basement!

I wish I could say I was surprised.

If it's surprises you want,
you're in for a treat.

Why don't you tell them
the real story, Gabriel?

I see time has made you bitter.

And it's made you an even bigger fool.

Now, these people were promised greatness,
and I'm ready to deliver.

I'm sorry this is how
they had to learn the truth.

Gabriel, you have to stop him!

[Ivor] Nothing built
can last forever, Gabriel.

[Gabriel] Ivor, no!

[Gabriel grunts]

[snarling]

Creature, attack!

[crowd screaming]

-[Jesse shouts]
-[Reuben squeals]

Everyone, stay calm!

This foul beast is no match for me!

Creature, attack!

[grunts, groans]

What have you done?

-Gabriel!
-No! Stay away!

It's after me, not you.

Look at him!
The mighty Gabriel!

Looks like true greatness
is out of his reach.

He may not be able to defeat
this creature, but I can!

Creature, retreat!

[clears throat] Creature, retreat!

Retreat, I said!

Retreat!

He's lost control of it!

Uh, no need to be alarmed, my friends.

I have an elixir
that will destroy this creature.

That potion, is that...?

[grunts]

Uh-oh.

[grunts]

[snarling]

Uh, what?

Impossible. It should have worked.

I took such care!

The potion.
Axel, you've gotta throw the real potion.

-But finders keepers!
-You thieves! You're ruining everything!

[Olivia] Axel, come on!

[Olivia] Jesse, throw it!

[Ivor] It's protecting itself!

Without the command block exposed,
the potion is useless!

It wasn't supposed to happen like this!

Ivor! You coward, come back here!

[Wither growling]

[screaming]

[Olivia] Jesse, help me!

[Gabriel grunts]

[Gabriel groans]

Thank you.

Ivor was right about one thing.

I can't defeat that thing, not on my own.

Everyone's running away except for you.

Will you help me?

Of course!

Follow me!

[screaming]

Out of my way, chickens!

[snarling]

[roaring]

[people screaming]

[Reuben squeals]

[shouts]

Oof!

[Jesse] Wait!

Hey, I'm up here! Somebody help me!

Guys!

[grunts]

[Jesse] Lukas!

You guys left me down there!
Abandoned me!

No! We were trying to warn Gabriel
and get him to help!

[Petra] Jesse!

[Reuben squealing]

Wait! Wait!
We have to stay together!

-[shouts]
-[grunts]

[Petra grunts]

I can't hold on!

[screams]

[shouting]

[Gabriel grunts]

[all groan]

[people screaming]

Do we still have everyone?

We must set out for my fortress.
We'll be better protected there.

-Thanks for that just now.
-Yeah, well, now we're even, right?

-[Petra] Incoming!
-[Jesse shouts]

[Gabriel] This way!

Hurry! Inside the temple!

The inner chamber
is built entirely of obsidian.

We should be untouchable in there.

[shouts]

-[Reuben squealing]
-[screams]

Hurry! If you can get through the portal,
you'll be safe!

Uh, something's not right here.

It's not lit.

-Let's get out of here!
-Everyone, get in, now!

-[Reuben squealing]
-[Gabriel shouts]

Gabriel!

[panting]

-Yah!
-[Gabriel groans]

[both grunting]

-[groans] Thank you.
-[people screaming]

[Gabriel] There are so many of them.

I-I can't save them all.

I can't stop this by myself.

We need to find the others.

Others?

Soren's been missing for years.

But the others, you must seek them out.

Take this amulet
and guard it with your life.

You can do this!

You must!

How am I supposed to find Magnus
and Ellegaard?

The amulet will guide you.

Take it through the portal, and then...

[ceiling crashes]

[Jesse shouts]

[Petra shouts]

[Gabriel shouts]

-[Wither Storm roars, snarls]
-Yah!

-[shouts]
-[Petra shouts]

You two, go through the portal
and meet up with the others.

-I'll stay here and do what I can.
-I'm coming with you!

No, you're not.

The g*ng needs you, Jesse.
Go through the portal.

If anything happens,
I'll meet you guys at the temple.

[shouting]

[gasps]

Oh!

[Jesse] Oh, no!

Can't get away from it!

Jesse, do something!

Somebody, help!

[both grunting]

[both groan]

Thanks, Jesse.

Gabriel's still up there!

Jesse! Go!

No!

[shouts]

[both grunt]

[Wither Storm roars]

[both groan]

Where's Petra?

-We did everything we could.
-What are you saying?

It was chaos.
There wasn't much I could do.

Jesse's right.

Petra is still up there.

I got scared, just for a second.

You got scared?

It wasn't my fault.

You got scared and it's not your fault?

Back off, Axel.

We gotta go back.

She just needs more time.

Petra needs our help.
We're going.

Hey! There she is!

Come on, come on!

[groans]

You again.

[all shouting]

[Wither Storm roars]

Ivor.

You ruined everything.

You can't blame us!

-Your plan, your monster, your fault.
-[Ivor] Maybe.

But if you hadn't stolen from me,
I would have destroyed it,

and all of those people
would have been saved.

There's nothing left up there!
Nothing but that Wither Storm.

Why are we wasting time
talking to this jerk?

-We have to go and get Petra!
-The girl. I saw her.

What?

While I was running toward the portal,
I passed her.

She was running in the opposite direction.

Such bravery.

Of course, there's a fine line
between bravery and stupidity.

And your friend has crossed it.

I'm saying she's stupid.

She's going to make it.

You're concerned about your friend.
It's admirable.

-You're all going to be dead very soon.
-We'll see about that.

You don't even realize
you're in danger right now.

So are you.

Through that tunnel
is a network of mine carts

built by the Order of the Stone.

It's your only way out.

Much as I hate to admit it,
he might be right.

Bravo for embracing the truth.

[creature howling]

What was that?

I would wish you good luck, but luck
won't carry you through the Nether.

You have my sympathies.

[slurps]

[Ghast groans]

[yelps]

[shrieks]

-Let's get out of here!
-Run!

[Jesse shouts]

-This must be what Ivor was talking about.
-[shrieks]

[Jesse] Ah!

-[grunts]
-[squeals]

[panting]

-[Ghast shrieks]
-Everybody, hold on!

[Lukas] Wow.

The Nether.

Yeah, that is a lot of lava.

And fire. And other things
that could burn you to death.

-[squeals]
-Oh, no!

Oh, that's a drop.
That is very, very much a drop.

What are you talking about, new guy?

What drop--
Oh, you weren't kidding!

Here we go!

-[Olivia grunts]
-[Jesse cheers]

Oh, no.

[Lukas] Duck!

[Olivia] Watch it!

Okay, so I'm not the only one seeing
that we're running out of track, right?

-[Lukas] No!
-[Axel] Good!

Jesse, that switch! Now! Do it!

[Jesse] Oh, arms, don't fail me now.

Yeah-ha!

[laughs] Wow! I thought something bad
was gonna happen there,

but I guess everything's gonna be--
Whoa!

-[Olivia] Jesse!
-[Axel] No!

-[Lukas] Whoa!
-Wait!

[Axel] Oh, man!

Uh, Axel? Olivia?

Reuben? Anybody?

[Reuben squealing]

-[squeals]
-Hang on, Reuben!

[grunting]

-Reuben!
-[squealing]

Okay, Reuben, remember how I said
everything was gonna be just fine before?

I know I was wrong then, but I have
a very good feeling about-- Whoa!

-[shrieks]
-[Jesse] Duck!

[Reuben squeals]

Well, Ghasts are officially crossed
off my to-see list.

Done with the Ghasts.
Never need to see them.

Are you freaking kidding me with this?

[Reuben squealing]

This is bad, this is bad, this is bad.

[slo-mo shriek]

-[Reuben squeals]
-[Jesse grunts]

Is... [laughs] Is everyone okay?

I mean, I'm not dead.
I guess that's pretty good.

Ditto. Ditto with the not dead.

I can't believe Petra
comes down here all the time.

This place is awful.

[chuckles] Your throat's
gonna be sore later, Axel.

-[Axel] Why?
-[Lukas] I'm just saying.

Wasn't that you
doing all that screaming?

Sounded like you were
shredding your larynx.

[Olivia] Oh, yeah!

I heard that, too.
Really high pitched?

-Kind of like a squeaky piston?
-What? No. Shut up.

Never mind. Must have... [chuckles]
Must have been something else.

You know how you have
those experiences you remember

and reminisce about
for the rest of your lives?

Yeah?

This isn't one of those.
Let's never discuss this ever again.

[Reuben squeals]

[Jesse] Can you throw up,
like, inside your body?

Uh-huh. I know because I just did...
about five times.

[Jesse] Wow! Look at this place!

All these tracks converge at this point.

You could probably get anywhere
in the world from here.

There's the portal!

This is what Gabriel was talking about.

That's our way out.

It must lead back to the surface.

The surface is also
where that creature is.

-[Reuben squealing]
-He's right.

We have no idea what we're walking into.
It could be dangerous.

Thanks for being so brave, Axel.

All right. I'm gonna go.

I'm going. I'm going right now.

Like, right, right now.

I just need to make sure
I have everything I'll need.

I think I put the, uh, thing
over in the...

I'll go first.

That's not what I was saying.

I'm going.

Well, if you absolutely insist.

Well, see you guys
on the other side, I guess.

Be careful.

Thanks, Jesse.

Okay, not what I was expecting.

[growling]

[grunting]

Oh, man. That was close.

There was a zombie.

Oh.

Is it dead?
I mean, you know, dead-dead?

Yeah.

Where are we?

In the dark, in the middle of nowhere.

[Lukas] Maybe we should
bed down for the night.

It's dangerous to be out
when it's this dark.

-Thought we were headed toward a temple.
-We're looking for a giant building.

-It should be pretty obvious.
-Ivor said--

Oh, "Ivor said."

-Well, then maybe this is the temple.
-Take it easy, Axel.

-He called me "stupid."
-No, I didn't.

-But you wanted to.
-No, I didn't.

Huh? Did you say something?

We have to build a shelter.

I thought that was what I said, but, uh...

Yep, that's totally...

[sighs] It's getting dark and stuff.

I say we build a treehouse.

That'll take forever
and we'll be exposed while we do it.

We just need a quick and dirty hut.

Look, whatever it is,
we gotta do it fast.

What?

In a hut, we won't know what's coming
until it's knocking on our door.

A treehouse is gonna be spider town.

I hate spiders.

Let's go with a treehouse.

It's functional.
It'll keep us out of danger.

It's not a bad idea.

All right, fine.

Let's get started, then.

If I wake up with a spider on my face,
I'm gonna expect you to deal with it.

Lower your expectations, Axel.

Well, maybe if we'd built into the tree
a little bit more, it could have...

Never mind. It's-- This is fine.

-It's good!
-[Jesse] Looks good, guys.

-[Axel] Oh, man!
-[Olivia] What?

I'm going to tell you something.
You have to promise not to freak out.

What is it?

I have cookies.

One for me.

One for Olivia.

One for Jesse.

Thanks, Axel.

[Axel] And one for Reuben.

[snorting]

Sorry, Lukas, I only have four.

Oh, no. It's all right.

I'm not that hungry anyway.

I'll just grab something in the morning
or something.

-Take it, Lukas.
-[chuckles] No, no, I-I can't do that.

I insist.

Thank you, Jesse.

[munching]

That was for you, Jesse, not him.

If you had to,
which would you rather fight,

a hundred chicken-sized zombies
or ten zombie-sized chickens?

Choose wisely.

[laughs] Uh...

That's a good one. Let me think.

How can you guys joke at a time like this?

Petra is still out there.

Petra wouldn't mind at all.
She'd want us to keep our spirits up.

If I were her, I'd--

I don't know.
It feels wrong.

Fine. Then, uh, we should get
some rest.

We gotta start looking for this temple
as early as we can.

Now, my guess is if we start
at the portal and kind of split up--

-Whoa! What are you doing?
-He's just trying to help.

-See?
-I'm sorry, Jesse.

I'm not gonna sit here and listen
to this guy telling us what's what.

I'm trying to get ready for tomorrow.

You're the only one wearing
that stupid jacket.

-Don't tell us what to do.
-Take that back.

Can't. Wouldn't.

You know what? I get to wear this jacket
because I know how to build.

Doesn't mean I don't know
how to break things.

Your threats don't scare me
now that we know how you really are.

-Jesse, your friend is way out of line!
-Let's just drop it.

-Don't be like that, Jesse.
-Just drop it.

Haven't you done enough damage
for one day?

Petra might be dead because of you.

You're taking this too far, Axel.

I don't have to take this.

Listen, why don't I just leave
and let you guys hash this out?

You can't leave.
It's dangerous out there.

I can take care of myself.

-It's what Axel wants, right?
-Let him leave if he wants to leave.

You're not going anywhere.

-But, Jesse--
-That's enough.

We're all on the same team now.
He's staying.

Zombie-sized chickens.

-That's what I would fight.
-Why's that?

Because I'm starving.

[thunder rumbling]

Of course.

Rain is better than monsters.

-Thanks for keeping me around, Jesse.
-Yeah.

-Sorry about all that business last night.
-Honestly, I'm just--

I'm more embarrassed
than anything else.

See anything?

Hey! There's something over that way!

-[Olivia] What is it?
-[Lukas] Some kind of building, I think.

Let's get a closer look.

What are we waiting for?
Let's go!

-What is this place?
-That's what we're trying to figure out.

[Lukas] It's the Temple
of the Order of the Stone.

Lukas, are you sure?

[Jesse] He's right! Look!

-[Olivia] Do you think they're in there?
-[Axel] Let's go in and find out.

-[Jesse] Let's just all be careful.
-Okay.

If you spot anything, call it out.
We don't have a lot of time.

Isn't it weird how dispensers are carved
to look like spooky little faces?

-[Reuben squeals]
-What do you dispense, little guy?

I get the feeling that we don't really
wanna find out.

-[whirring]
-Get behind me.

[Reuben squeals]

[gate thuds]

-[Lukas] What was that?
-[Axel] That's probably not a good thing.

[clanking]

Aw, come on, dispenser faces.
I thought we were friends.

Run!

[panting]

[gasps]

We're trapped!

We activated the dispensers
with that pressure plate.

If we can figure out a way to trigger
it again, I bet that'll shut them off.

There's a crafting table.
Maybe we can make something useful.

Out of what?
We don't have anything.

All of our tools and materials
are back home.

All right, everyone,
empty your pockets.

Let's see what we've got to work with.

I have sticks left over
from building the shelter last night.

I've got some flint and a piece of string.

All I have are chicken feathers
I picked up

after that chicken machine exploded.

Now let's see, I've got
some flint and steel, a sword...

and some string from a spider
that I fought in the woods earlier.

[Olivia] String, sticks,
flint and feathers.

Let's do this.

[clanks]

-All right!
-Good job, Jesse!

[Lukas] This must be
their enchantment room.

Doesn't this look like
Ivor's creepy basement?

Find anything useful?

Not sure about useful,
but definitely interesting.

There is a lot of history in this room.

"The battle was fierce,

but the Order of the Stone
emerged triumphant,

saving the land and ensuring
that peace and prosperity

would reign forever."

Well, not exactly forever.

-"These five members..."
-[narrator] ...five members,

five friends...

together, would give so much
to gain their rightful place...

-[Jesse] "...as five heroes."
-[narrator] ...as five heroes.

[Jesse] "They would author
their own end.

They would slay a dragon."

Ivor was a member
of the Order of the Stone?

-The stories never mentioned him.
-This is so crazy.

There must be a reason
he's never been mentioned.

-Maybe he was different back then.
-Maybe they kicked him out.

This is so crazy.

The Order might not be what we thought
they were, but Petra is still out there.

That monster is still out there.

Jesse's right.

We need to focus
on what we came here to do.

Where do these stairs go?

Only one way to find out.

[Axel] Now this is cool.

[Jesse] Wow!

[Axel] What happened to the walls?

[Jesse] More like, what happened
to this whole place?

This must have been where they met.

So, where are they, then?

Gabriel said once we find the temple,

the amulet would lead us
to the Order of the Stone.

Well, what are you waiting for?
Pull it out, then.

Is something supposed to happen?

Well, that was a letdown.

There's got to be something we're missing.

Look around and see
if you can find anything.

It's the same as the amulet.

Wow!

Wow!

It's absolutely incredible!

How did they build this?

This looks like some sort
of tracking system.

It's the Order!
It's showing where they are right now!

Look, we don't know enough
about how this thing works.

Maybe the amulet only tracks them
when they're on the surface.

Or maybe it doesn't work
when they're in the Nether.

We have to go off what we do know.

Petra's relying on us.

That Wither Storm is still out there.

We know that Gabriel
was trying to tell us something.

We've got to find the Order of the Stone.

But there are only two lights.

There are only two members
of the Order left?

-[Jesse] He said Soren was missing.
-[Lukas] That leaves Magnus.

Or Ellegaard.

Well, let's head out.

I'm not going with you guys.
I have to stay here.

If I know Petra, she's probably doing
everything she can to find this place.

Just stay safe, okay?

If there's even a small chance
she's alive, I have to stay.

Go, get help.

I'm gonna focus on making
this place safe before nightfall.

This temple is pretty big, though.

If we're gonna have a chance
at fortifying it, I'm gonna need help.

If, uh, maybe one of you guys
can hang back with me?

Sounds like Olivia will have you
totally covered

while me and Jesse
are out finding Magnus.

Finding Magnus?

You really think
that's how it's going to go?

We need Ellegaard.
She's the world's greatest engineer.

She'll figure out a way
to stop that thing.

We're trying to destroy it.

And when it comes to destruction,
Magnus is the master.

You're a smart person, Jesse.

And, obviously, the smart thing to do
is to go get Magnus.

I... [chuckles] think Axel meant
Ellegaard there, Jesse.

Uh, no, I don't think I did.

Pretty sure Axel meant Magnus.

Jesse, the point is you should
be going to Ellegaard's.

-It's the clear choice to make.
-You've got to come with me.

-You're my best friend, Jesse.
-It's you and me, like always.

-Think about it, Jesse.
-This is more of a gut call.

We need to make sure we get this right.

We're not going to get
a second shot at this.

Whatever decision you make,
I'll be cool with it.

-Really?
-As long as it's me.

Come on, Jesse, this is an easy call.

Olivia, you and I
are going to Ellegaard's.

Awesome!

Axel, you stay here with Lukas and get
the place ready for when Petra shows up.

What? With that guy?

I'm right here.

Come on, Axel, for Petra's sake.

Fine, I'll do it... for Petra.

I'll take it.

Uh, guys?

[distant roaring]

[Lukas] Please hurry.

I'd have to go with the giant chickens.

Not because I want to
or because I think it would be easy,

but because they would be an abomination.

-Imagine their giant feet.
-Like I said, an abomination.

So, I've got a daylight sensor
on the roof.

-And if I did this right...
-[grunts]

...these lamps should turn on
once it gets dark.

Mm-hmm.

I didn't wanna leave Reuben here
with nothing while

-we're at the building competition.
-He's coming with us.

-Really?
-[squeals]

What kind of question is that?
Of course he is.

Okay. I'm not saying
he shouldn't come.

I'm not, but don't you think
it's a little weird

that you take him with you
everywhere you go?

-Reuben's my best friend.
-[squeals]

-I thought I was your best friend.
-Both of you are.

I didn't mean anything by it.

I'm glad he's coming.

I just don't wanna give people
one more reason to call us "losers."

-Who cares what other people think?
-I know.

I'm just-- It wears you down.

You say you're not a loser, Olivia.
So, win.

Okay. Fine.

-[hissing]
-Do you hear that?

Oh, no.

-Boo!
-[screaming]

[squealing]

[laughs] Oh, man!

You guys totally freaked out!
That was awes--

Axel, what's the matter with you?

Great, now I'm gonna smell like a pig
at EnderCon.

I thought we were buddies.

Cool mask.

It is, isn't it?

Yeah, very convincing.

[laughs] The look on your faces!

Did you bring the fireworks?

[Axel] Of course I did.

I even brought something
for the little guy.

-Nice!
-You brought Reuben a disguise?

Um, we're going to a convention.
Somebody's gotta wear a costume.

[squeals]

[Jesse] He looks awesome!

[Axel] It only took me, like,
a million hours to build it.

All right, all right.

You definitely brought fireworks, right?

Yes. I'm ready.
Waiting on you guys.

If he was your best friend,

you wouldn't let him go outside
dressed like that.

The only thing more dangerous
than putting a costume on a pig

is trying to take it off.

-Hurry up and grab your stuff.
-We'll meet you downstairs, okay?

Okay!

-[door closes]
-[Reuben snorting]

Hmm, flint and steel. Not too shabby.

One of these days, we're gonna win
the EnderCon Building Competition.

And when we do,
people will look at us and say,

"Hey, there goes Jesse and Reuben,

winners of the EnderCon
Building Competition."

They really should change the name.

[squeals]

Give me a dragon roar, Reuben.

[roars, snorting]

That'll do, Reuben. That'll do.

[squealing]

That's everything.

-Let's roll.
-Yeah, dude, roll.

-Let's go.
-[Reuben squeals]

I heard a pretty juicy rumor
about the building competition,

but you guys have to promise
not to say anything.

[Olivia] Okay.

Also, it's in two parts,
each part more exciting than the last.

Spit it out, Axel.

Part one: the special guest
at this year's EnderCon

is none other than Gabriel the Warrior
him-freaking-self.

Whoa! What's part two?

Part two: according to my sources,

the winner of the building competition
is gonna get to meet him.

It doesn't mean anything if we lose.

But if we win... oh, man!
This would make up for all the losing.

It's not that big of a deal.
EnderCon will be fun either way.

What?

Hold on, let me try that again.
What?

He's right, Jesse.
Incredibly.

This is a huge deal.

So, does this source of yours
make posters for a living?

Huh?

[Reuben squealing]

Yeah. My, uh, source, uh, doesn't exist.

You guys are my only friends.

Guys, let's stay focused.
We have a competition to win.

[Olivia] We never win.

And this year we've got Reuben with us.

-We're going to win because--
-What are you talking about?

Because up to now we've hated losing.

But today, today, my friends, we're gonna
start learning how to love winning.

That didn't sound
as good as it did in my head.

No, no. I'm with that.

-All right.
-Wait a minute!

We're thinking about this all wrong.

The point of the building competition
isn't just to build something.

We have to do something
to get noticed by the judges.

Okay, then. So how do we do this?

We don't just build something functional,
we build something fun.

After we finish the fireworks machine
like we planned,

then we build something cool on top of it.

You might be onto something.

If you wanna get a reaction
out of the judges,

you build something scary.

-So I say we build a creeper.
-Wouldn't an Enderman be better?

I'm more scared of Endermen than creepers.

[Axel] They both have their moments,
both pretty scary.

Let's build an Enderman.

Aw...

-Olivia's thing?
-Are you whining?

No. I was saying "awe...some."

Yeah. I think this is the first time
we've decided on something

before getting to the competition.

-Think we've got everything we need?
-It wouldn't hurt to grab a little more.

-Let's get to grabbing, then.
-We're so prepared.

We can't lose. Cannot!
Bring it in.

"Dare to prepare" on three.
No. No, no, no.

"Preparing is daring."

No, that's the same thing. Forget it.

"Team" on three.

One, two, three.

-Team!
-[Axel] Prepare!

[snorting]

[panting, grunting]

[growling]

[muffled shouting]

[breathing heavily]

[grunting]

[sheep bleats]

[grunts]

[squeals]

We know what we're building.
We've got all the stuff for it.

-We are so ready.
-This year, it's going to be different.

I'm not just ready to build,
I'm ready to win.

Nice pig, losers.

-[Jesse groans]
-[Reuben squeals]

[Axel] Oh, great,
there's Lukas and the Ocelots.

The rivalry continues.

Man, they've got matching leather jackets
and everything.

So cool.

Well, well, well,
if it isn't the Order of the Losers.

[laughs] Great, the Fail Squad's here.

-Lukas, get a load of these losers.
-Let's go, guys.

-Name, please?
-Axel. And, uh, how do you do?

No, your team name.

Team name?

We are not ready for this.

So much for losing anonymously.

We're the Nether Maniacs.

You just thought of that right now?

-Yep.
-We've never even been to the Nether.

Who the Nether cares?

Okay, Nether Maniacs,
you guys are in booth 5.

-[grunting]
-[laughter]

Is that a freakin' beacon?
They have a freakin' beacon?

Freakin' beacon?

That's stained glass.

They aren't just building a beacon,
they're building a rainbow beacon.

We're the Dead-Enders.

-Whoa! Sounds like a name for pirates.
-It's cool.

Okay, Dead-Enders,
you guys are in booth 5.

-[grunting]
-[crowd laughing]

Is that a freakin' beacon?
They have a freakin' beacon?

Freakin' beacon?

That's stained glass.

They aren't just building a beacon,
they're building a rainbow beacon.

Our design is way cooler.

A gigantic Enderman
is better than a fancy light.

Their difficulty score is going to be
higher than our total score.

We've got something they don't: fireworks.

We should probably stop staring at them.

[mocking laugh]

Look, it's the Order of the Losers...
again.

[laughs] Good one, Gill.

We're just looking.

Plenty of time for you to look at it
after it wins and gets shown at EnderCon.

-You're being unpleasant.
-Maybe not all of you.

EnderCon doesn't allow
outside food or drink.

[squeals]

-Shut up.
-What's that?

Jesse said, "Shut up."
Do you need to hear it again?

I don't know. Maybe.

Stop wasting your time, Aiden.
We've got work to do.

You're lucky I'm busy.

Hey, Jesse. Guys.

-Hey, Petra.
-How's the build going?

Only time will tell, but we're optimistic.

Hey, Petra, I forgot to thank you
for that Nether star.

-Hey, Lukas. Not a problem.
-You helped these tools?

For the right price, I'll help anyone.

If you need anything,
you know where to find me.

[Olivia] None of us know
where to find you.

Exactly.

No hard feelings, guys.

If you're cool with Petra,
you're cool with us.

So why don't we just forget
about all this, and, you know,

make this about how cool our builds are?

May the best team win.

-Careful what you wish for.
-We'll see about that.

Ladies and gentlemen,

welcome to the EnderCon
Building Competition!

The winners of this year's competition

will have their build
featured at EnderCon.

The winners will also meet,
in person, Gabriel the Warrior!

[crowd cheering, applauding]

[group] Ocelots!

Ocelots!

Ocelots!

Whoa! Handshake?

We don't have a handshake.

We'll just make one up.

We'll call it the, uh...

The Redstone Rap!

And just like that, I'm nervous again.

Don't talk like that!
We can do this!

Just stick to the plan,
and everything will be fine.

This year, we can't lose!

Let's do it!

[woman] Building starts... now!

Oh, no! A fireworks dispenser?
I'm so scared!

You worry about your build,
and we'll worry about ours.

And now, the moment of truth.

Here goes nothing.

This looks so cool.

We'll win this for sure.

[Axel] I gotta admit,
this Enderman is sweet!

Good call, Jesse.

-[crowd murmuring]
-Yeah, man!

Guys, people are looking at us.

Good build, man!

What? No way.

It's just a bunch of dyed wool!

[Aiden] Whoops!

-[squealing]
-[Jesse] Oh, no! Reuben's on fire!

-Reuben, no! Come back!
-Aiden! That punk!

-[Olivia] The lava's getting closer.
-[Axel] It will ruin the build.

Reuben's going to get lost!

-You guys stay and save the build.
-[Axel] On it!

[Olivia] We got it covered, Jesse.
Be careful.

[groans]

We'll meet up with you at EnderCon!

[Olivia grunts]

Reuben? Where are you, buddy?

Just oink if you can hear me.

[Petra's voice] Okay,
now you get to choose where to go.

Go ahead, select a location.

[pig squealing]

Reuben? No, not you gu-- Pigs!

-[squealing]
-All pigs but Reuben, shut up!

[echoes] Reuben?

[Jesse yelps]

[clucking]

You're gonna have
to make a run for it, okay?

-I'll meet you back in town, promise.
-[squealing]

-Get out of here now!
-[squealing]

[shouts]

[grunts, shouts]

Get off me!

[groans]

[grunts]

Come on, let's get out of the open.

[growling]

I wanna show you something.

Not that this isn't a really cool,
dimly lit tunnel, but...

how far away is this thing
you wanna show me?

[Petra] Careful, Jesse.

You don't wanna get
a reputation as a wimp.

[stutters] This isn't my first time
in a cave, Petra.

Yeah, but have you ever seen...
a Wither skull?

Whoa!

Fresh from the Nether.

That's insane, Petra.
You could've gotten yourself k*lled.

Don't worry so much.
I can handle myself.

There's this guy I'm meeting up with
at EnderCon.

He's gonna trade me a diamond for it.

Why didn't he just go get
the skull himself?

He's not the kind of guy who has time
to do something like that.

What kind of guy is he, then?

The kind who understands
the value of hard work.

-Wow!
-"Wow" what?

In a single day, you went to the Nether,
you k*lled a Wither skeleton...

I mean, I did build a super cool statue,

but still, it's pretty sweet
being you, huh?

You know, you could come with me.

I mean, if you're too nervous,
I totally get it.

But I wouldn't mind a little backup.

You want me to come with you?

Consider it my charitable act for the day.

I'll consider it whatever you want me
to consider it as long as I get to come.

You just keep a crafting table down here?

Comes in handy.

Since that wooden sword of yours
got busted...

-You're giving me a new one?
-Even better. You can make your own.

One stick plus two stones
equals one sword.

-Just grab what you need.
-Oh, okay. Thanks.

Hey, is all this stuff yours?

No, we're just stealing from whoever
was dumb enough to leave this here.

-Of course it's mine.
-Just making sure.

Oh, here we go!

Jackpot!

See? Isn't it better
when you make it yourself?

Check it out. EnderCon's all lit up.

[Jesse] I can't believe it. We won!

Good for you, Jesse.

It's about time we beat Lukas
and his g*ng of jerks.

What kind of stupid name
is the Ocelots anyway?

You know, Lukas may be kind of arrogant,

but he has come through for me
in tricky situations.

You might wanna get to know him,
just in case.

Yeah, you might be right.

I'm just saying if you run into him
at EnderCon, try talking to him.

I don't need a lecture on the power
of collaboration, Petra.

How about a lecture
on the power of my fists?

It's short, but deadly.

Come on, let's hurry.

[Petra] Remember what EnderCon was like
before it was cool?

[Jesse] Remember what we were like
before we were cool?

-[Petra] Some of us will never be cool.
-Ha ha.

[hissing]

Creepers!

[growling]

Ah!

[Petra] This doesn't look good.

Well, there's only one way
off this bridge.

Whatever we do, we do it together.

Hurry up, Jesse!

All right, let's jump!

[growls]

[theme music playing]

-Oh! Burns! It burns!
-Don't you know?

You dive into the water,
you don't land on top of it.

Pull yourself together and follow me.

[upbeat music playing]

[clucking]

[indistinct chatter]

Just let me know
if you see Reuben anywhere.

-He's gotta be here somewhere.
-I hope you're right.

So, when we're making the deal,
I need you to let me do the talking, okay?

Should I be nervous about this?

Given your personality,
your life experience,

and everything else you've done
to make it to this moment... yes.

Jesse!

And... Petra?

Hey, you all know Petra,
my new super-close friend.

We're super close now.

We ran into each other
while I was looking for Reuben.

Couldn't find him, huh?

He'll turn up sooner or later,
I just know it.

I saw him, but before I knew
what was happening,

we were under attack by a zombie horde.

I told him to run.
It was for his own good.

-Sorry we didn't come with you, Jesse.
-But, hey, we won!

We did okay, didn't we?

I still wish I'd gotten that part
in the back to look better.

[Axel] I could've fit more fireworks
in there somewhere.

-I'm proud of you guys.
-Aw, shucks.

Don't make me blush.
Seriously, don't.

Hey, Jesse, it's time to go
see about that thing.

Oh, right. The "thing."

-Subtle.
-Yeah?

As a punch to the face.

Axel and I were gonna head into EnderCon.
See you in there?

I heard somebody saying
there's free cake by the map booth.

Hurry. We're supposed to meet
in the alley over there.

Dark. Dark. Very dark in here.

That's weird.

He said the dark, creepy alley
close to the gates, but he's not here.

Maybe he's late.

Are you sure this
is the dark, creepy alley he meant?

Hmm, I was.

Okay, new plan.

You stay here just in case
this is the spot he meant,

and I'll look around.

Okay, I'll hold down the fort.

Thanks, Jesse.
I'll be back before you know it.

If he shows up while I'm gone,
just stall for me.

-[man clears throat]
-[shrieks]

And just who are you?

I'm waiting.

Answer me!

The name's Jesse. What's it to you?

I'm supposed to meet with Petra,
not whatever you're supposed to be.

Give me one good reason why I shouldn't
walk out of here right now.

You're the guy who needed
a Wither skull, right?

Not so loud, you idiot!

Too many people know my business already.

-Do you have the skull?
-Uh, well...

Petra has it.
She'll be back any minute now.

Well, as long as she's bringing it,

I suppose it wouldn't k*ll me
to wait a minute longer.

Uh, well...

-Ivor!
-Ah, here she is.

Sorry I'm late, but good things
are worth waiting for.

-I've got what you asked for.
-If you have what you promised us.

You didn't say anything about an "us"
when we first met.

And I don't like surprises.

If these are the sorts of people
you associate with,

perhaps we should call
the whole thing off.

My friend is fine. Right, Jesse?
There's no problem here.

Let's not be too hasty, okay?

This is just, uh,
a little misunderstanding.

I'm cool if he's cool.

It's settled, then. You're both cool.

Proceed, then.

[Petra] I'll take that diamond now.

Take it. You've earned it.

Uh, this isn't a diamond.

No, it's lapis.

I knew we couldn't trust that guy!

We're going after him.

I'm either getting that diamond
or I'm getting my skull back.

-Or you'll make him pay, right? Right?
-Come on!

Do you see him anywhere?

We lost him.

Then we'll just have to
find him again. Go!

There he is! Gabriel! Gabriel!

-[usher] Step aside, please!
-[woman] I have just one question!

-'Sup?
-'Sup?

-Nothing. 'Sup with you?
-Nothing. 'Sup with you?

I-I just said. Nothing.

Hey, uh...

congrats on the win.

I mean, I still think our beacon
was amazing, but...

you guys did a pretty good job, too.

I mean, I thought the whole monster theme
was plenty cool, but fireworks, too?

It was...

sorta cool.

You know, that stunt your friend pulled
really hurt my pig.

Okay, maybe,
but I had nothing to do with that.

Hey, you didn't happen to see
a creepy guy with long hair and a beard

roaming around, did you?

I don't think so. Why?

He kind of scammed Petra
out of a diamond earlier.

[laughs] Oh-h*!

Everyone knows you don't mess with Petra,
not if you know what's good for you.

-I'll keep an eye out, okay?
-Thanks. I appreciate it.

So, uh... we're cool?

Yeah, we're cool.

Cool, cool.

-Ha! See you later, Lukas.
-Yeah, see you.

[clucking]

[Axel] Thought you could
wiggle out of that trap, didn't you?

Well, wiggle as much as you want.
You're not going anywhere.

Axel, listen up. Any chance you've seen
a creepy-looking beardy guy anywhere?

No, but Petra told me what happened.

I'm keeping an eye out for him.

Okay, so I got a little distracted.

It's just this machine
presses all my buttons.

Unnecessarily complicated
and mean to birds for no reason.

Stop messing around.
We need your help.

I was looking, I swear.
I've just got a short attention span.

Have you seen Reuben?

I was hoping he might have made it to town
while I was distracted.

Haven't seen hide nor hair.

But I'm sure he's fine.
He's a tough little ham.

[clucks]

Axel?

All right, all right! I'll look!

After I watch one more chicken get owned.

Ha! I see you now, weirdo.

Well, if it isn't Team Trashbag!

How's your stupid pig?

Kind of busy right now, man.

What? Busy trying to get a life?

Busy trying to find some friends?

Hey.

-What do you think--
-What do you think you're doing?

-Oh, I'm sorry.
-Get away from me!

I said I was sorry.

[pig squealing]

Reuben? Is that you?

Nothing sticks to your ribs
quite like a juicy pork chop!

-[squealing]
-Reuben!

What's the big idea?
I'm trying to run a business here.

That's my pig!
You kidnapped my pig!

Well, I don't know
what you're talking about, chief.

I found this pig wandering alone
in the streets.

Please! He's my friend!

To me, he's inventory.

I might be amenable to some kind of trade.

Not that you look like
you got much of value. [chuckles]

I gotta get some kind of return
on my investment.

Otherwise, it's straight
to the slaughterhouse for this one.

Give me back my pig.

All right, you little maniac, fine.

-[Reuben squeals]
-Take him, he's yours.

-Come on, Reuben.
-[squeals]

I'm sorry, Reuben. I never should've
let you run off in the woods.

[squealing]

Remember that thing
I had to go do with Petra?

Long story short,
we met up with this guy,

he cheated me and Petra on a deal,
and now we're trying to track him down.

-You in?
-Oh, I'm in, all right.

Any sign of him?

I thought I saw him earlier,
but it was a false alarm.

Wait, there he is!
Looks like he's headed towards the hall.

We have to get past that usher
to follow him.

Let's go!

So, yeah, hey.

What would it take
to get us inside tonight?

Uh, tickets. [laughs]

This might sound crazy,
but we're on an important mission.

I hope your mission came with tickets
to the show 'cause, I mean, otherwise...

-[clucks]
-Chicken!

Chicken! Chicken! Chicken!

It's gone. You're totally fine.
You're a totally cool dude.

We have to do something.

Like what?
This show has been sold out for ages.

We need a distraction.

A lot of chickens running around
might be a distraction.

Shoo! Shoo! Get out of here!

The usher is afraid of chickens.

What would you say if I told you
I wanna break this guy's chicken machine

to create the mother of all distractions?

[Olivia] But you have to break
that pane of glass.

How are you gonna reach it?

Let's look around.
There has to be something we can do.

[chickens clucking]

Hey! What are you doing?

Sorry, sorry. Just your regular,
everyday chicken enthusiast here.

Don't make me call security.

I need to reach that window,
but the fence is in the way.

And I don't think I can mess up
the fence if he's around.

I don't have enough slime to use this.

-I wouldn't mind a little payback.
-He deserves it for crossing Petra.

-You ready?
-Ready.

[snorting]

[squealing]

See anything?

He must have gone out another way.

What is all this?

Looks like it used to be the basement.
Weird place to have a hideout.

I bet you anything
I'll find my Wither skull here.

And if we find anything else cool
to steal along the way, so be it, right?

-Axel, that's not what we're here to do.
-I did say we wanted payback.

No better payback
than thieving from a thief, right?

Let's focus on finding the skull,
not stealing.

-Nobody ever lets me have any fun.
-We let you hang out with us.

The faster we find what we're looking for,
the faster we can get out of here.

Oh, hello.

[both grunt]

Too heavy and too soft.

But super flashy.

You're keeping it?
But I thought it was too soft, too heavy.

Ah, it still might come in handy.

And it is super flashy.

Hey, you still have
that one stone sword, right?

Nah, I had to give it to some
jerkwad butcher to save Reuben's life.

Jeez. Oh, well.
I guess that was a pretty good cause.

Here.

Thanks. Again.

You're welcome.
Don't lose that one.

Find anything?

I wanna steal that and that.

I just wanna touch that.

Ooh, take a look at this.

You're not gonna believe me,
but I swear I had a dream about this.

Okay, potion,
I know this is a big step, but...

I would be honored
if you'd come home with me.

-It's yours if you want it that bad.
-I've never wanted anything badder.

There's no way he won't notice
his fancy potion is missing.

A good thief always covers his tracks.

-Fixed it.
-Oh, yeah, the perfect crime.

Hey, Reuben. Find any clues?

-[snorting]
-What is it, buddy? You smell something?

[squealing]

Something over there?
Good work, Reuben.

[Jesse] What is all this stuff?

Soul Sand.
It was everywhere in the Nether.

-What about that block in the middle?
-I've never seen one of these before.

-I wonder if I just take a closer look...
-Don't touch that, Olivia!

I was just curious.

Don't forget what we're here for.
Find that skull.

So, good news, weird news.

I found the skull, but--

Why'd I risk my neck for that skull
if he's got two of them already?

Maybe Ivor's some kind of collector.
A trophy hunter.

Or he could be collecting them
to make a bunch of banners.

I think I know what's going on.

Soul Sand plus three Wither skulls...

that's the recipe for a Wither.

-But a Wither... That's--
-One of the worst monsters there is.

We came down here to find the skull.
Well, we found it.

Maybe we should just grab it
and get out of here while we still can.

[door opens]

-Uh, guys?
-Scatter!

[door closes]

"Don't you recognize me?"

Oh, wait...

"Surprised to see me?"

No, that's not good.

"Thought you were rid of me,
didn't you?"

That's better.

-[bottle clinking]
-What was that? Who's there?

[both grunt]

What are you doing here?
What did you see?

-Leave her alone!
-Yeah. Back off, pal.

[Ivor and Olivia grunt]

You two?

Did you follow me here?

You thought you could
get away with it, didn't you?

We're here to prove you wrong.

What are you going to do about it?

We know what you're doing down here.

Soul Sand and three Wither skulls?
You're building a Wither!

Huh, smarter than you look.

Hey, nobody talks to my friends like that.

Now shut your mouth... or else.

Enough! You've wasted
too much of my time already.

Where'd he go?

If you won't leave of your own volition,
I'll happily remove you myself.

-[roars]
-Show our friends the door, will you?

[Reuben squeals]

Ah! [groans]

[Petra screams]

[Reuben squealing]

[Wither roaring]

-[Lydia] Oh, man, this is so exciting!
-[Owen] It sure is!

And now, for the first time ever
here at EnderCon,

we are very proud to present...

The one, the only...

[both] Gabriel!

[audience cheering]

[woman 1] Gabriel!

-Please. Please.
-[woman 2] We love you!

Thank you.

Are you with me?

[cheering]

Everybody okay?

Um, guys...

-where's Lukas?
-I thought he was right behind me.

Well, if he's not here,
the only place he could be is...

-[Jesse] He's still down there!
-Ivor's got an iron golem

and all the ingredients to build a Wither.

If he were to unleash it in this crowd
of people... We have to act fast.

It just so happens
that the greatest warrior of all time

is in the building.

We should ask Gabriel for help.

-This is the smartest way to help Lukas.
-He's tough.

I just hope he's tough enough
to hold out a bit longer.

[Gabriel] ...exploits
of the Order of the Stone than even I do.

But then, it's so easy
to doubt ourselves, isn't it?

It's easy to tell ourselves
we can't do the things we wanna do.

-[Gabriel] We can't be...
-I'm going after Lukas by myself.

-By yourself? Are you sure, Jesse?
-Yeah.

-The rest of you, go get Gabriel.
-We're on it, Jesse.

We'll figure a way to warn Gabriel,
then meet you back here.

Let's crash this party.

-Be back as soon as I can.
-Be careful.

[Gabriel] ...one block at a time.

With the right training
and guidance, anyone,

and I mean anyone, can become a hero.

-You just have to believe it.
-Here goes nothing.

[squeals]

[gasps]

[growls]

Lukas?

Can you hear me,
even though I'm whispering?

[Lukas] Jesse?

Is that you whispering super loudly?

Lukas, over here.

-[growling]
-[screams]

[Lukas] Hey!

[Jesse] You okay?

[Lukas] Uh, I've been worse.

Well, I can't say this is the best spot
I've ever been in.

Any bright ideas?

Just run.

[Lukas] Run where?

You don't think I tried that already?

[shouts]

[growls]

Now, Lukas! Run!

[roars]

Ah!

[Reuben squealing]

[growls]

Nice one, Reuben.

[Lukas] Okay, Jesse, come on.
Let's go.

Thanks for coming back for me.
I didn't know if anybody was going to.

No man left behind, that's my motto.

Guess I owe you one.

Where are the others?

[Axel] Dude, I don't know
how I can be any clearer.

Weird guy doing weird stuff!

Freaky with a side of strange!

Why won't you listen to me?

What do you want me to do?
Tell you charades-style?

I promise you,
that's the last thing I want you to do.

Four words, six syllables,

sounds like
"schmonster in the schmasement."

Next.

Wait, just--

[Ivor] I have a question for you.

Excuse me, sir,
you'll have to wait your turn.

[Ivor] Just tell me first.

Do you really believe anyone can be great?

With enough hard work, yes.

Was that where I went wrong?
I simply didn't work hard enough?

Ivor?

That's the guy who attacked us
in the basement.

I wish I could say I was surprised.

If it's surprises you want,
you're in for a treat.

Why don't you tell them
the real story, Gabriel?

I see time has made you bitter.

And it's made you an even bigger fool.

Now, these people were promised greatness,
and I'm ready to deliver.

I'm sorry this is how
they had to learn the truth.

Gabriel, you have to stop him!

[Ivor] Nothing built
can last forever, Gabriel.

[Gabriel] Ivor, no!

[Gabriel grunts]

[snarling]

Creature, attack!

[crowd screaming]

Ah!

Ah!

Everyone, stay calm!

This foul beast is no match for me!

Creature, attack!

[grunts, groans]

What have you done?

-[Jesse] Gabriel!
-No! Stay away!

It's after me, not you.

Look at him! The mighty Gabriel!

Looks like true greatness
is out of his reach.

He may not be able to defeat
this creature, but I can!

Creature, retreat!

[clears throat] Creature, retreat!

Retreat, I said!

Retreat!

He's lost control of it!

Uh, no need to be alarmed, my friends.

I have an elixir
that will destroy this creature.

That potion, is that...?

[grunts]

Uh-oh.

[grunts]

[snarling]

Uh, what?

Impossible. It should have worked.

I took such care!

The potion.
Axel, you've gotta throw the real potion.

-But finders keepers!
-You thieves! You're ruining everything!

[Olivia] Axel, come on!

Jesse, throw it!

[Ivor] It's protecting itself!

Without the command block exposed,
the potion is useless!

It wasn't supposed to happen like this!

Ivor! You coward,
come back here!

[Wither growling]

[screaming]

[Olivia] Jesse, help me!

[Gabriel grunts]

[Gabriel groans]

Thank you.

Ivor was right about one thing.

I can't defeat that thing, not on my own.

Everyone's running away except for you.

Will you help me?

Of course!

Follow me!

[screaming]

Out of my way, chickens!

[snarling]

[roaring]

[people screaming]

[Reuben squeals]

[shouts]

Oof!

[Jesse] Wait!

Hey, I'm up here! Somebody help me!

Guys!

[grunts]

[Jesse] Lukas!

You guys left me down there!
Abandoned me!

No! We were trying to warn Gabriel
and get him to help!

[Petra] Jesse!

[Reuben squealing]

Wait! Wait!
We have to stay together!

-[shouts]
-[grunts]

[Petra grunts]

I can't hold on!

[screams]

[shouting]

[Gabriel grunts]

[all groan]

[people screaming]

Do we still have everyone?

We must set out for my fortress.
We'll be better protected there.

-Thanks for that just now.
-Yeah, well, now we're even, right?

-[Petra] Incoming!
-[Jesse shouts]

[Gabriel] This way!

Hurry! Inside the temple!

The inner chamber
is built entirely of obsidian.

We should be untouchable in there.

[shouts]

-[Reuben squealing]
-[screams]

Hurry! If you can get through the portal,
you'll be safe!

Uh, something's not right here.

It's not lit.

-Let's get out of here!
-Everyone, get in, now!

-[Reuben squealing]
-[Gabriel shouts]

Gabriel!

[panting]

-Yah!
-[Gabriel groans]

[both grunting]

-[groans] Thank you.
-[people screaming]

[Gabriel] There are so many of them.

I-I can't save them all.

I can't stop this by myself.

We need to find the others.

Others?

Soren's been missing for years.

But the others, you must seek them out.

Take this amulet
and guard it with your life.

You can do this!

You must!

What? Why me?

I believe in you. Take the amulet.

Take it through the portal, and then...

[ceiling crashes]

[Jesse shouts]

[Petra shouts]

[Gabriel shouts]

-[Wither Storm roars, snarls]
-Yah!

-[shouts]
-[Petra shouts]

You two, go through the portal
and meet up with the others.

-I'll stay here and do whatever I can.
-I'm coming with you!

No, you're not.

The g*ng needs you, Jesse.
Go through the portal.

If anything happens,
I'll meet you guys at the temple.

[shouting]

[gasps]

Oh!

[Jesse] Oh, no!

Can't get away from it!

Jesse, do something!

Somebody, help!

[both grunting]

[both groan]

Thank you, Jesse.
Now get through the portal!

Jesse!

-[screams]
-Just hold on, Petra! I'm coming for you!

-[roaring]
-Ah!

[both scream]

[Wither Storm growling]

[groans]

Where's Petra?

-We did everything we could.
-What are you saying?

It was chaos.
There wasn't much I could do.

Jesse's right.

Petra is still up there.

I got scared, just for a second.

You got scared?

It wasn't my fault.

You got scared and it's not your fault?

Back off, Axel.

We gotta go back.

She just needs more time.

Petra needs our help. We're going.

Hey! There she is!

Come on, come on!

[groans]

You again.

[all shouting]

[Wither Storm roars]

Ivor.

You ruined everything.

You can't blame us!

-Your plan, your monster, your fault.
-[Ivor] Maybe.

But if you hadn't stolen from me,
I would have destroyed it,

and all of those people
would have been saved.

There's nothing left up there!
Nothing but that Wither Storm.

Why are we wasting time
talking to this jerk?

-We have to go and get Petra!
-The girl. I saw her.

What?

While I was running toward the portal,
I passed her.

She was running in the opposite direction.

Such bravery.

Of course, there's a fine line
between bravery and stupidity.

And your friend has crossed it.

I'm saying she's stupid.

Our friend is in trouble because of you.

We're trapped in the Nether
because of you.

You have much bigger problems
to contend with.

Through that tunnel
is a network of mine carts

built by the Order of the Stone.

It's your only way out.

Much as I hate to admit it,
he might be right.

Bravo for embracing the truth.

[creature howling]

What was that?

I would wish you good luck, but luck
won't carry you through the Nether.

You have my sympathies.

[slurps]

[Ghast groans]

[yelps]

[shrieks]

-Let's get out of here!
-Run!

[Jesse shouts]

-This must be what Ivor was talking about.
-[shrieks]

[Jesse] Ah!

-[grunts]
-[squeals]

[panting]

-[Ghast shrieks]
-Everybody, hold on!

[Lukas] Wow.

The Nether.

Yeah, that is a lot of lava.

And fire. And other things
that could burn you to death.

-[squeals]
-Oh, no!

Oh, that's a drop.
That is very, very much a drop.

What are you talking about, new guy?

What drop--
Oh, you weren't kidding!

Everybody, hold on!

-[Olivia grunts]
-[Jesse cheers]

Oh, no.

[Lukas] Duck!

[Olivia] Watch it!

Okay, so I'm not the only one seeing
that we're running out of track, right?

-[Lukas] No!
-[Axel] Good!

Jesse, that switch!
Now! Do it!

[Jesse] Oh, arms, don't fail me now.

Yeah-ha!

[laughs] Wow! I thought something bad
was gonna happen there,

but I guess everything's gonna be--
Whoa!

-[Olivia] Jesse!
-[Axel] No!

-[Olivia] Wait!
-[Axel] Oh, man!

Uh, Axel? Olivia?

Reuben? Anybody?

[Reuben squealing]

-[squeals]
-Hang on, Reuben!

[grunting]

-Reuben!
-[squealing]

Okay, Reuben, remember how I said
everything was gonna be just fine before?

I know I was wrong then, but I have
a very good feeling about-- Whoa!

-[shrieks]
-[Jesse] Duck!

[Reuben squeals]

Well, Ghasts are officially crossed
off my to-see list.

Done with the Ghasts.
Never need to see them.

Are you freaking kidding me with this?

[Reuben squealing]

This is bad, this is bad, this is bad.

[slo-mo shriek]

-[Reuben squeals]
-[Jesse grunts]

Is... [laughs] Is everyone okay?

I mean, I'm not dead.
I guess that's pretty good.

Ditto. Ditto with the not dead.

I can't believe Petra
comes down here all the time.

This place is awful.

[chuckles] Your throat's
gonna be sore later, Axel.

-[Axel] Why?
-[Lukas] I'm just saying.

Wasn't that you
doing all that screaming before?

Sounded like you were
shredding your larynx.

[Olivia] Oh, yeah!

I heard that, too. Really high-pitched?

-Kind of like a squeaky piston?
-What? No. Shut up.

Never mind. Must have... [chuckles]
Must have been something else.

Hey, speak for yourselves,
you fraidy-cats.

Reuben and I handled ourselves just fine.
Isn't that right, Reuben?

[squealing, snorting]

What? No.

You screamed like a piglet...
is who did the piglet-like screaming.

[squealing]

[Jesse] Can you throw up,
like, inside your body?

Uh-huh. I know because I just did...
about five times.

[Jesse] Wow! Look at this place!

All these tracks converge at this point.

You could probably get anywhere
in the world from here.

There's the portal!

This is what Gabriel was talking about.

That's our way out.

It must lead back to the surface.

The surface is also
where that creature is.

-[Reuben squealing]
-He's right.

We have no idea what we're walking into.
It could be dangerous.

Thanks for being so brave, Axel.

All right. I'm gonna go.

I'm going. I'm going right now.

Like, right, right now.

I just need to make sure
I have everything I'll need.

I think I put the, uh, thing
over in the...

You can do it, Axel.

That's right, I can do it.

Whatever's on the other side
has no idea what it's got coming.

All right, here I go. Thanks, Jesse.

Right behind you.

Be safe up there, Axel.

Ready or not, here I come.

[Reuben snorts]

-[growling]
-[Axel] Ah!

-Get off of me!
-[gasps]

[grunts]

[growling]

[screams]

Oh, man. That was close.

I'm never going first again.

[Olivia] Where are we?

In the dark, in the middle of nowhere.

[Lukas] Maybe we should
bed down for the night.

It's dangerous to be out
when it's this dark.

-Thought we were headed toward a temple.
-We're looking for a giant building.

-It should be pretty obvious.
-Ivor said--

Oh, "Ivor said."

-Well, then maybe this is the temple.
-Take it easy, Axel.

-He called me "stupid."
-No, I didn't.

-But you wanted to.
-No, I didn't.

Huh? Did you say something?

We have to build a shelter.

I thought that was what I said, but, uh...

Yep, that's totally...

[sighs] It's getting dark and stuff.

I say we build a treehouse.

That'll take forever
and we'll be exposed while we do it.

We just need a quick and dirty hut.

Look, whatever it is,
we gotta do it fast.

What?

In a hut, we won't know what's coming
until it's knocking on our door.

A treehouse is gonna be spider town.

I hate spiders.

-Let's build a hut. It won't take as long.
-It's not--

That's it, Olivia.
Jesse made the call.

We should get started.

All that work, and we're still eye level
with monsters that are trying to k*ll us.

It's done. It's over.
We aren't talking about it anymore.

We could have maybe done,
like, a multi-level thing, but...

it's too late now.

I mean, it's... it's cool.

[Jesse] Let's keep it together, guys.

-[crickets chirping]
-[piano music playing]

-[Axel] Oh, man!
-[Olivia] What?

I'm going to tell you something.
You have to promise not to freak out.

What is it?

I have cookies.

One for me.

One for Olivia.

One for Jesse.

Thanks, Axel.

[Axel] And one for Reuben.

[snorting]

Sorry, Lukas, I only have four.

Oh, no. It's... It's all right.

I'm not that hungry anyway.

I'll just grab something in the morning
or something.

-Take it, Lukas.
-[chuckles] No, no, I-I can't do that.

I insist.

Thank you, Jesse.

[munching]

That was for you, Jesse, not him.

If you had to,
which would you rather fight,

a hundred chicken-sized zombies
or ten zombie-sized chickens?

Choose wisely.

[laughs] Uh...

That's a good one. Let me think.

How can you guys joke at a time like this?

Petra is still out there.

Petra wouldn't mind at all.
She'd want us to keep our spirits up.

If I were her, I'd--

I don't know.
It feels wrong.

Fine. Then, uh, we should get
some rest.

We gotta start looking for this temple
as early as we can.

Now, my guess is if we start
at the portal and kind of split up--

-Whoa! What are you doing?
-He's just trying to help.

-See?
-I'm sorry, Jesse.

I'm not gonna sit here and listen
to this guy telling us what's what.

I'm trying to get ready for tomorrow.

You're the only one wearing
that stupid jacket.

-Don't tell us what to do.
-Take that back.

Can't. Wouldn't.

You know what? I get to wear this jacket
because I know how to build.

Doesn't mean I don't know
how to break things.

Your threats don't scare me
now that we know how you really are.

-Jesse, your friend is way out of line!
-Let's just drop it.

-Don't be like that, Jesse.
-Just drop it.

Haven't you done enough damage
for one day?

Petra might be dead because of you.

You're taking this too far, Axel.

I don't have to take this.

Listen, why don't I just leave
and let you guys hash this out?

You can't leave.
It's dangerous out there.

I can take care of myself.

-It's what Axel wants, right?
-Let him leave if he wants to leave.

You're not going anywhere.

-But, Jesse--
-That's enough.

We're all on the same team now.
He's staying.

Zombie-sized chickens.

-That's what I would fight.
-Why's that?

Because I'm starving.

[thunder rumbling]

-Thanks for keeping me around, Jesse.
-Yeah.

-Sorry about all that business last night.
-Honestly, I'm just--

I'm more embarrassed
than anything else.

See anything?

Hey! There's something over that way!

-[Olivia] What is it?
-[Lukas] Some kind of building, I think.

Let's get a closer look.

What are we waiting for? Let's go!

-What is this place?
-That's what we're trying to figure out.

[Lukas] It's the Temple
of the Order of the Stone.

Lukas, are you sure?

[Jesse] He's right! Look!

-[Olivia] Do you think they're in there?
-[Axel] Let's go in and find out.

-[Jesse] Let's just all be careful.
-Okay.

If you spot anything, call it out.
We don't have a lot of time.

Isn't it weird how dispensers are carved
to look like spooky little faces?

-[Reuben squeals]
-What do you dispense, little guy?

I get the feeling
that we don't really wanna find out.

-[whirring]
-Get behind me.

[clattering]

[squealing]

[gate thuds]

-[Lukas] What was that?
-[Axel] That's probably not a good thing.

[clanking]

Aw, come on, dispenser faces.
I thought we were friends.

Run!

[panting]

[gasps]

We're trapped!

We activated the dispensers
with that pressure plate.

If we can figure out a way to trigger
it again, I bet that'll shut them off.

There's a crafting table.
Maybe we can make something useful.

Out of what?
We don't have anything.

All of our tools and materials
are back home.

All right, everyone,
empty your pockets.

Let's see what we've got to work with.

I have sticks left over
from building the shelter last night.

I've got some flint and a piece of string.

All I have are chicken feathers
I picked up

after that chicken machine exploded.

Now let's see, I've got
some flint and steel, a sword...

and some string from a spider
that I fought in the woods earlier.

[Olivia] String, sticks,
flint and feathers.

Let's do this.

[clanks]

-All right!
-Good job, Jesse!

[Lukas] This must be
their enchantment room.

Doesn't this look like
Ivor's creepy basement?

Find anything useful?

Not sure about useful,
but definitely interesting.

There is a lot of history in this room.

"The battle was fierce,

but the Order of the Stone
emerged triumphant,

saving the land and ensuring
that peace and prosperity

would reign forever."

Well, not exactly forever.

-"These five members..."
-[narrator] ...five members,

five friends...

together, would give so much to gain
their rightful place as five heroes.

[Jesse] "They would author
their own end.

They would slay a dragon."

Ivor was a member
of the Order of the Stone?

The stories never mentioned him.

This is so crazy.

This might explain why Ivor
had such a grudge against Gabriel.

They lied to us!
They lied to the whole world.

Why would they do this?

This is so crazy.

The Order might not be what we thought
they were, but Petra is still out there.

That monster is still out there.

Jesse's right. We need to focus
on what we came here to do.

Where do these stairs go?

Only one way to find out.

-[Axel] Now this is cool.
-[Jesse] Wow!

[Axel] What happened to the walls?

[Jesse] More like,
what happened to this whole place?

This must have been where they met.

So, where are they, then?

Gabriel said once we find the temple,

the amulet would lead us
to the Order of the Stone.

Well, what are you waiting for?
Pull it out, then.

Is something supposed to happen?

Well, that was a letdown.

There's got to be something we're missing.

Look around
and see if you can find anything.

Find anything interesting in that book?

The only thing I've found so far
is that the amulet was used

to track the positions
of members of the Order.

And does it mention how?

It's less technical
and, well, more historical.

-What you looking at?
-Nothing. Whatever.

Axel?

I was just trying to figure out
where Petra might be.

I mean, I know she's gonna be fine,
but I was just curious.

We're gonna find her.

We're in the Temple
of the Order of the Stone.

The Order's actual temple!

Who'd have thought it, huh?

A bunch of small-towners like us
wrapped up in an adventure like this.

Yeah, it's pretty insane.

I just hope we all come out
the other side in one piece.

Get ready to roll, Axel.
We're gonna go find Magnus.

Let's do this.

Olivia, you stay here with Lukas

and get the place ready
for when Petra comes back, okay?

[sighs] Fine, but I'm only doing this
for Petra.

I'll take it.

Uh, guys?

[Lukas] Please hurry.

What's in it for me?

Respect, admiration,
not getting punched in the face

for saying that just now.

You just keep a crafting table down here?

Comes in handy.

Since that wooden sword of yours
got busted--

-You're giving me a new one?
-Even better. You can make your own.

One stick plus two stones
equals one sword.

-Just grab what you need.
-Oh, okay. Thanks.

Hey, is all this stuff yours?

No, we're just stealing from whoever
was dumb enough to leave this here.

-Of course it's mine.
-Just making sure.

Oh, here we go!

Jackpot!

What's in it for me?

Respect, admiration,
not getting punch in the face

for saying that just now.

was dumb enough to leave this here.

-Of course it's mine.
-Just making sure.

Oh, here we go!

Jackpot!

Jesse, a lever's not gonna do you
much good in a fight, is it?

[objects rattling]

See? Isn't it better
when you make it yourself?

Check it out. EnderCon's all lit up.

I can't believe it. We won!

Good for you, Jesse.

It's about time we beat Lukas
and his g*ng of jerks.

What kind of a stupid name
is the Ocelots anyway?

You know, Lukas may be kind of arrogant,

but he has come through for me
in tricky situations.

You might wanna get to know him,
just in case.

Yeah, you might be right.

I'm just saying if you run into him
at EnderCon, try talking to him.

I don't need a lecture
on the power of collaboration, Petra.

How about a lecture
on the power of my fists?

It's short, but deadly.

Come on, let's hurry.

[Petra] Remember what EnderCon was like
before it was cool?

[Jesse] Remember what we were like
before we were cool?

-[Petra] Some of us will never be cool.
-Ha ha.

[growling]

Creepers!

[growling]

Ah!

[all growling]

[Petra] This doesn't look good.

Well, there's only one way
off this bridge.

Whatever we do, we do it together.

Hurry up, Jesse!

[zombies and creepers growling]

Jesse, a lever's not gonna do you
much good in a fight, is it?

[objects rattling]

[Reuben squealing]

See? Isn't it better
when you make it yourself?

Check it out.

Hurry up, Jesse!

[zombies and creepers growling]

The only way off this bridge
is through them.

[grunting]

There's too many of them!

I don't wanna die!

[theme music playing]

-Oh! Burns! It burns!
-Don't you know?

You dive into the water,
you don't land on top of it.

Pull yourself together and follow me.

-[Reuben snorts]

[dance music playing]

-[clucking]
-[indistinct chatter]

Just let me know
if you see Reuben anywhere.

-He's gotta be here somewhere.
-I hope you're right.

So, when we're making the deal,
I need you to let me do the talking, okay?

Should I be nervous about this?

Given your personality,
your life experience,

and everything else you've done
to make it to this moment... yes.

-Jesse!
-And... Petra?

Hey, you all know Petra,
my new super-close friend.

We're super close now.

We ran into each other
while I was looking for Reuben.

Couldn't find him, huh?

He'll turn up sooner or later.
I just know it.

I saw him, but before I knew
what was happening,

we were under attack by a zombie horde.

I told him to run.
It was for his own good.

-Sorry we didn't come with you, Jesse.
-But, hey, we won!

We did okay, didn't we?

I still wish I'd gotten that part
in the back to look better.

[Axel] I could've fit more fireworks
in there somewhere.

-Jesse!
-And... Petra?

Hey, you all know Petra,
my new super-close friend.

We're super close now.

We ran into each other
while I was looking for Reuben.

-What were you doing in the woods, Petra?
-Nothing.

Just drawn by the sound
of Jesse's high-pitched screams.

I would have been spider bait
if she hadn't found me.

-Sorry we didn't come with you, Jesse.
-But, hey, we won!

We did okay, didn't we?

I still wish I'd gotten that part
in the back to look better.

[Axel] I could've fit more fireworks
in there somewhere.

-We deserve a victory party. Who's in?
-I like all kinds of parties,

but especially ones
where I get to celebrate winning.

About time I'll be the guest of honor
at something.

Hey, Jesse, it's time to go see
about that... thing.

-Oh, right. The "thing."
-Subtle.

-Yeah?
-As a punch to the face.

Axel and I were gonna head into EnderCon.
See you in there?

I heard somebody saying
there's free cake by the map booth.

Hurry, we're supposed to meet
in the alley over there.

Dark. Dark. Very dark in here.

That's weird.

He said the dark, creepy alley
close to the gates, but he's not here.

Maybe he's late.

Are you sure this
is the dark, creepy alley he meant?

Hmm, I was.

Okay, new plan.

You stay here just in case
this is the spot he meant,

and I'll look around.

Okay, I'll hold down the fort.

Thanks, Jesse.
I'll be back before you know it.

If he shows up while I'm gone,
just stall for me.

-[man clears throat]
-[screams]

And just who are you?

I'm waiting.

Answer me!

-We deserve a victory party. Who's in?
-I like all kinds of parties,

but especially ones
where I get to celebrate winning.

About time I'll be the guest of honor
at something.

-[Reuben snorts]
-[man clears throat]

-[Reuben squeals]
-[screams]

And just who are you?

-[squealing]
-[Ivor] I'm waiting.

Answer me!

No, who are you?

If you belonged here, you would know!

Unless that's all part of the plan?

I'm supposed to meet with Petra,
not whatever you're supposed to be.

Give me one good reason why I shouldn't
walk out of here right now.

You're the guy who needed
a Wither skull, right?

Not so loud, you idiot!

Too many people know my business already.

-Do you have the skull?
-Uh, well...

Petra has it.
She'll be back any minute now.

Well, as long as she's bringing it,

I suppose it wouldn't k*ll me
to wait a minute longer.

Uh, well...

-[Petra] Ivor!
-Ah, here she is.

Sorry I'm late,
but good things are worth waiting for.

-I've got what you asked for.
-If you have what you promised us.

You didn't say anything about an "us"
when we first met.

And I don't like surprises.

If these are the sorts of people
you associate with,

perhaps we should call
the whole thing off.

My friend is fine. Right, Jesse?
There's no problem here.

Let's not be too hasty, okay?

This is just, uh,
a little misunderstanding.

No, who are you?

If you belonged here, you would know!

Unless that's all part of the plan?

I'm supposed to meet with Petra,
not whatever you're supposed to be.

This is just, uh,
a little misunderstanding.

Maybe we should rethink the whole thing.
This guy gives me a bad feeling.

I'll give you a bad feeling
if you ruin this for me.

Proceed, then.

[Petra] I'll take that diamond now.

Take it. You've earned it.

Uh, this isn't a diamond.

No, it's lapis.

-I knew we couldn't trust that guy.
-We're going after him.

I'm either getting that diamond
or I'm getting my skull back.

-Or you'll make him pay, right? Right?
-Come on.

Do you see him anywhere?

We lost him.

Then we'll just have
to find him again. Go!

There he is! Gabriel! Gabriel!

-[usher] Step aside, please!
-[woman] I have just one question!

[people clamoring]

-'Sup?
-'Sup?

-Nothing. 'Sup with you?
-Nothing. 'Sup with you?

I-I just said. Nothing.

Hey. Uh...

congrats on the win.

I mean, I still think our beacon
was amazing, but...

you guys did a pretty good job, too.

I mean, I thought the whole monster theme
was plenty cool, but fireworks, too?

It was...

sort of cool.

Maybe we should rethink the whole thing.
This guy gives me a bad feeling.

I'll give you a bad feeling
if you ruin this for me.

Proceed, then.

[Petra] I'll take that diamond now.

was amazing, but...

you guys did a pretty good job, too.

I mean, I thought the whole monster theme
was plenty cool, but fireworks, too?

It was...

sort of cool.

Your beacon wasn't too shabby.

You don't have to do that, okay?
You guys won, fair and square.

Hey, you didn't happen to see
a creepy guy with long hair and a beard

roaming around, did you?

I don't think so. Why?

He kinda scammed Petra
out of a diamond earlier.

Oh-h*!

Everyone knows you don't mess with Petra,
not if you know what's good for you.

-I'll keep an eye out, okay?
-Thanks. I appreciate it.

So, uh, we're cool?

-Yeah, we're cool.
-Cool, cool.

-Ha! See you later, Lukas.
-Yeah, see you.

[clucking]

[Axel] Thought you could wiggle
out of that trap, didn't you?

Well, wiggle as much as you want.
You're not going anywhere.

Axel, listen up. Any chance you've seen
a creepy-looking beardy guy anywhere?

No, but Petra told me what happened.

I'm keeping an eye out for him.

Okay, so I got a little distracted.

It's just this machine presses
all my buttons.

Unnecessarily complicated
and mean to birds for no reason.

Stop messing around.
We need your help.

I was looking, I swear.
I've just got a short attention span.

Have you seen Reuben?

I was hoping he might have made it to town
while I was distracted.

Haven't seen hide nor hair.

But I'm sure he's fine.
He's a tough little ham.

[clucking]

Axel?

All right, all right! I'll look.

After I watch one more chicken get owned.

Ha! I see you now, weirdo.

Well, if it isn't Team Trashbag!

How's your stupid pig?

Kinda busy right now, man.

What? Busy trying to get a life?

Busy trying to find some friends?

Hey.

-What do you think--
-What do you think you're doing?

-Oh, I'm sorry.
-Get away from me!

I said I was sorry.

[Reuben squealing]

Reuben? Is that you?

Nothing sticks to your ribs
quite like a juicy pork chop!

-[snorts]
-Reuben!

-[squeals]
-What's the big idea?

I'm trying to run a business here.

That's my pig!
You kidnapped my pig!

Well, I don't know
what you're talking about, chief.

I found this pig wandering alone
in the streets.

Please, he's my friend!

To me, he's inventory.

I might be amenable to some kind of trade.

Not that you look like
you got much of value. [chuckles]

I gotta get some kind of return
on my investment.

Otherwise, it's straight
to the slaughterhouse for this one.

Your beacon wasn't too shabby.

You don't have to do that, okay?

Well, all I've got is this sword.

-[squeals]
-Oh, that's very nice.

With this, I could cut
my butchering time in half.

[squeals]

Nice doing business with you.

Come on, Reuben.

[snorts]

I'm sorry, Reuben. I never should have
let you run off in the woods.

[snorting]

Remember that thing
I had to go do with Petra?

Long story short, we met up with this guy,

he cheated me and Petra on a deal,
and now we're trying to track him down.

-You in?
-Oh, I'm in, all right.

Any sign of him?

I thought I saw him earlier,
but it was a false alarm.

[Jesse] Wait! There he is!
Looks like he's heading towards the hall.

We have to get past that usher
to follow him.

Let's go!

So, yeah, hey.

What would it take
to get us inside tonight?

Uh, tickets. [laughs]

This might sound crazy,
but we're on an important mission.

I hope your mission came with tickets
to the show 'cause, I mean, otherwise...

-[clucking]
-Chicken!

Chicken! Chicken! Chicken!

It's gone. You're totally fine.
You're a totally cool dude.

We have to do something.

Like what?
This show has been sold out for ages.

We need a distraction.

A lot of chickens running around
might be a distraction.

Shoo! Shoo! Get out of here!

-The usher is afraid of chickens.
-[clucking]

What would you say if I told you
I wanna break this guy's chicken machine

to create the mother of all distractions?

But you have to break that pane of glass.
How are you gonna reach it?

Let's look around.
There has to be something we can do.

Well, all I've got is this sword.

-[squeals]
-Oh, that's very nice.

With this, I could cut
my butchering time in half.

[squeals]

Nice doing business with you.

Come on, Reuben.

[snorts]

I'm sorry, Reuben.

I was so busy trying to find
that creepy dude, I didn't notice.

[squealing]

Remember that thing
I had to go do with Petra?

Long story short, we met up with this guy,

he cheated me and Petra on a deal,

Let's look around.
There has to be something we can do.

[whispers] Just sit tight, Lukas.
I'll get you out.

You came back just to tell me that?

It's part of the plan.

"Stay exactly where you are" is a plan?

[shouts]

[groans]

Now, Lukas! Run!

[growling]

Ah!

[Reuben squealing]

Nice one, Reuben.

Okay, Jesse, come on. Let's go.

Thanks for coming back for me.
I didn't know if anybody was going to.

-No man left behind, that's my motto.
-Guess I owe you one.

Where are the others?

[Axel] Dude, I don't know
how I can be any clearer.

Weird guy doing weird stuff!
Freaky with a side of strange!

Why won't you listen to me?

What do you want me to do?
Tell you charades-style?

I promise you,
that's the last thing I want you to do.

Four words, six syllables,

sounds like
"schmonster in the schmasement."

-Next.
-Wait, just--

[Ivor] I have a question for you.

Excuse me, sir,
you'll have to wait your turn.

[Ivor] Just tell me first.

Do you really believe
anyone can be great?

With enough hard work, yes.

Was that where I went wrong?

I simply didn't work hard enough?

Ivor?

That's the guy who attacked us
in the basement.

I wish I could say I was surprised.

If it's surprises you want,
you're in for a treat.

Why don't you tell them
the real story, Gabriel?

I see time has made you bitter.

And it's made you an even bigger fool.

Now, these people were promised greatness,
and I'm ready to deliver.

I'm sorry this is how
they had to learn the truth.

This can't be good!

[Ivor] Nothing built
can last forever, Gabriel.

[Gabriel] Ivor, no!

[grunts]

Creature, attack!

[all screaming]

Ah!

[pants, groans]

Everyone, stay calm!
This foul beast is no match for me!

Creature, attack!

[grunts, groans]

What have you done?

-[Jesse] Gabriel!
-No! Stay away!

It's after me, not you.

[grunts]

Look at him! The mighty Gabriel!

Looks like true greatness
is out of his reach.

He may not be able to defeat
this creature, but I can!

Creature, retreat!

[clears throat] Creature, retreat!

Retreat, I said!

Retreat!

This can't be good!

[Ivor] Nothing built
can last forever, Gabriel.

[Gabriel] Ivor, no!

[grunts]

Creature, attack!

[all screaming]

Ah!

[pants, groans]

Everyone, stay calm!
This foul beast is no match for me!

Creature, attack!

[grunts]

What have you done?

-[Jesse] Gabriel!
-No! Stay away!

It's after me, not you.

[grunts]

Look at him!
The mighty Gabriel!

Looks like true greatness
is out of his reach.

He may not be able to defeat
this creature, but I can!

Creature, retreat!

[clears throat] Creature, retreat!

Retreat, I said!

Retreat!

Ivor, what are you doing?

Oh, no need to be alarmed, my friends.

I have an elixir
that will destroy this creature.

That potion, is that...?

[grunts]

Uh-oh.

-[shouts]
-[growls]

Uh, what?

Impossible. It should have worked.

I took such care.

The potion.
Axel, you've gotta throw the real potion.

-But finders keepers!
-You thieves! You're ruining everything!

Axel, come on!

Jesse, throw it!

[Ivor] It's protecting itself!

Without the command block exposed,
the potion is useless!

It wasn't supposed to happen like this!

Ivor! You coward, come back here!

[screams]

-[grunts]
-Jesse, help me!

[Gabriel grunts]

[Gabriel groans]

Thank you.
Ivor was right about one thing.

I can't defeat that thing, not on my own.

Everyone's running away except for you.

-Will you help me?
-Of course!

Follow me!

Ivor, what are you doing?

Oh, no need to be alarmed, my friends.

I have an elixir
that will destroy this creature.

That potion, is that...?

[grunts]

Uh-oh.

-[shouts]
-[growls]

Everyone's running away except for you.

-Will you help me?
-Of course!

Follow me!

[grunts]

Lukas!

Oh, man,
if I was still in that basement, I--

Thanks for coming back for me, Jesse.
I wouldn't be here without you.

[Petra] Jesse!

[Reuben snorting]

Wait! Wait! We have to stay together!

[both scream]

I can't hold on!

[screams]

[screaming]

[Gabriel grunts]

[all grunt]

[people screaming]

Do we still have everyone?

We must set out for my fortress.
We'll be better protected there.

-Thanks for that just now.
-Yeah, well, now we're even, right?

-[Petra] Incoming!
-[Jesse screams]

[Gabriel] This way!

Hurry! Inside the temple!

The inner chamber
is built entirely of obsidian.

We should be untouchable in there.

[screams]

-[Reuben squeals]
-[Olivia screams]

Hurry! If you can get through the portal,
you'll be safe.

-Uh, something's not right here.
-It's not lit.

-Let's get out of here!
-Everyone, get in, now!

-[Reuben snorts]
-[Gabriel screams]

Gabriel!

[Jesse and Gabriel grunting]

[groans] Thank you.

There are so many of them.
I-- I can't save them all.

I can't stop this by myself.
We need to find the others.

Others?

Soren's been missing for years.
But the others, you must seek them out.

Take this amulet
and guard it with your life.

You can do this.

You must.

[grunts]

-Do we still have everyone?
-Looks like.

We must set out for my fortress.
We'll be better protected there.

[shouts]

-Incoming!
-[screams]

Ah!

[grunts]

Stay together, everyone.

We'll be safe as soon
as we get to my temple.

[screams]

[Wither Storm growls]

Lukas!

[screams]

The temple is just up ahead!
Follow me!

[grunts]

Ah!

Ah!

[shouts]

Hurry! Inside the temple!

The inner chamber
is built entirely of obsidian.

We should be untouchable in there.

[screams]

-[Reuben squeals]
-[Olivia screams]

Hurry! If you can get through the portal,
you'll be safe!

-Uh, something's not right here.
-It's not lit.

-Let's get out of here!
-Everyone, get in, now!

-[Reuben squeals]
-[Gabriel screams]

Gabriel!

-[Gabriel groans]
-[Jesse panting]

[Jesse and Gabriel grunting]

-[groans] Thank you.
-[people screaming]

There are so many of them.
I-- I can't save them all.

I can't stop this by myself.
We need to find the others.

Others?

Soren's been missing for years.
But the others, you must seek them out.

Take this amulet
and guard it with your life.

You can do this.

You must.

[grunts]

Lukas!

Oh, man,
if I was still in that basement, I--

Thanks for coming back for me, Jesse.
I wouldn't be here without you.

[Petra] Jesse!

[Reuben snorts]

Wait! Wait! We have to stay together!

[both scream]

I can't hold on!

[screams]

[screams]

[Gabriel grunts]

[all grunt]

[people screaming]

Do we still have everyone?

We must set out for my fortress.
We'll be better protected there.

[growls]

-Thanks for that just now.
-Yeah, well, now we're even, right?

-[Petra] Incoming!
-[screams]

[Gabriel] This way!

Hurry! Inside the temple!

The inner chamber
is built entirely of obsidian.

We should be untouchable in there.

[screams]

-[Reuben squeals]

Hurry! If you can get through the portal,

[gasps]

[grunts]

Stay together, everyone.

We'll be safe as soon
as we get to my temple.

[screams]

[screaming]

Follow me!

You can do this.

You must.

[crickets chirping]

If you had to,
which would you rather fight,

a hundred chicken-sized zombies
or ten zombie-sized chickens?

Choose wisely.

[chuckles] Uh...

That's a good one. Let me think.

How can you guys joke at a time like this?

Petra is still out there.

Petra wouldn't mind at all.
She'd want us to keep our spirits up.

If I were her, I'd-- I don't know.
It feels wrong.

Fine. Then, uh, we should get some rest.

We gotta start looking for this temple
as early as we can.

Now, my guess is if we start
at the portal and kind of split up--

-Whoa, what are you doing?
-He's just trying to help.

See?

I'm sorry, Jesse.

I'm not gonna sit here and listen
to this guy telling us what's what.

I'm trying to get ready for tomorrow.

You're the only one
wearing that stupid jacket.

Don't tell us what to do.

Take that back.

Can't. Wouldn't.

You know what? I get to wear this jack
because I know how to build.

Doesn't mean
I don't know how to break things.

Your threats don't scare me
now that we know how you really are.

-Jesse, your friend is out of line.
-Let's just drop it.

Don't be like that, Jesse.

Just drop it.

Haven't you done enough damage
for one day?

Petra might be dead because of you.

You're taking this too far, Axel.

I don't have to take this.

Listen, why don't I just leave
and let you guys hash this out?

You can't leave.
It's dangerous out there.

I can take care of myself.

It's what Axel wants, right?

Let him leave if he wants to leave.

[crickets chirping]

If you had to,
which would you rather fight,

a hundred chicken-sized zombies
or ten zombie-sized chickens?

Choose wisely.

[chuckles] Uh...

That's a good one. Let me think.

-It's what Axel wants, right?
-Let him leave if he wants to leave.

[crickets chirping]

Be careful out there.

Always am.

[thunder rumbling]

You feeling good about yourself?

[Jesse] He'll be fine.

[Reuben snorting]

Hey, guys.
I, um... I picked some apples.

You're more than welcome to some
if you want.

Thanks, Lukas.

You got up early and did all this?

I figure we have to eat.

I thought you left.

Yeah. Me, too.

I got a tower up as fast as I could.

I tried to do some thinking,
but it was too cold.

And then it started raining.

No, it's all right. It's just... [sighs]

It's been a long night.

I'm resourceful, you know?
People always say that.

And I am a good friend.
Most of the time, I'm a good friend.

Now, yesterday,
I wasn't at my best for one second,

and it's like none of that matters.

Except for one thing.

Petra still needs us.

I let her down once.

It won't happen again.

We're in this together now.
I'm with you guys.

To the end.

I'm not really used to having
to invite myself along.

-You're cool with me, Lukas.
-Thanks, Jesse.

Me, too.

Thanks.

If you're all right with them,
then I guess I can live with it.

Okay. I'll take that.

[clears throat] All right, then.
Let's head out.

Look at that thing.

-What is it?
-Let's get a closer look.

[Reuben snorting]

What are we waiting for?
Let's go!

[Reuben squealing]

-What is this place?
-That's what we're trying to figure out.

[Lukas] It's the Temple
of the Order of the Stone.

Lukas, are you sure?

He's right! Look!

-[Olivia] Do you think they're in there?
-[Axel] Let's go in and find out.

[Jesse] Let's just all be careful.

Okay.

If you spot anything, call it out.
We don't have a lot of time.

Isn't it weird how dispensers are carved
to look like spooky little faces?

-[Reuben squeals]
-What do you dispense, little guy?

I get the feeling
that we don't really wanna find out.

-[whirring]
-Get behind me.

[clatters]

[squealing]

-[Lukas] What was that?
-[Axel] That's probably not a good thing.

[clanks]

Oh, come on, dispenser faces!

-I thought we were friends!
-Run!

[Reuben squeals]

[panting]

Ah!

We're trapped!

We activated the dispensers
with that pressure plate.

If we can figure a way to trigger it
again, bet that'll shut them off.

There's a crafting table.
Maybe we can make something useful.

Out of what?
We don't have anything.

All of our tools and materials
are back home.

All right, everyone, empty your pockets.
Let's see what we've got to work with.

I have sticks left over
from building the shelter last night.

I've got some flint and a piece of string.

All I have are some chicken feathers
I picked up

after that chicken machine exploded.

Now let's see,
I've got some flint and steel, a sword...

and some string from a spider
that I fought in the woods earlier.

[Olivia] String, sticks,
flint and feathers.

Be careful out there.

Always am.

Add up all the times he was a jerk to us,
and this doesn't compare.

You're being ridiculous.

And if anything happens to him,
I'm blaming you.

[thunder rumbling]

-I didn't know it would rain.
-You feeling good about yourself?

[Jesse] He'll be fine.

[Reuben snorting]

Hey, guys.
I, um... I picked some apples.

You're more than welcome to some
if you want.

Thanks, Lukas.

We're in this together now.
I'm with you guys.

To the end.

I'm not really used to having
to invite myself along.

Just keep your distance.

Jesse, come on.
He was here all night.

No, it's okay. I'll take that.

[clears throat] All right, then.
Let's head out.

Look at that thing.

-What is it?
-Let's get a closer look.

[Reuben snorting]

What are we waiting for?

[Reuben squealing]

[Olivia] String, sticks,
flint and feathers.

All right! Yes!

[sighs]

Okay, now we can start your game.
Places, everyone!

-[applause]
-[Reuben snorting]

[Jesse] Yeah! Ha ha!

[narrator] Nothing built can last forever.

And every legend, no matter how great,
fades with time.

With each passing year,
more and more details are lost

until all that remains
are myths, half-truths.

To put it simply, lies.

And yet, in all the known universe,
between here and the Far Lands,

the legend
of the Order of the Stone endures,

unabridged, as self-evident fact.

Indeed, it is only a troubled land
that has need for heroes.

And ours was fortunate to have,
so long ago,

four heroes such as these.

Gabriel the Warrior,

before whose sword
all combatants would tremble.

Ellegaard the Redstone Engineer,

whose machines
would spark an era of invention.

Magnus the Rogue,

who would channel his destructive
creativity for the benefit of all.

And Soren the Architect,

builder of worlds
and leader of the Order of the Stone.

These four friends together

would give so much to gain
their rightful place as four heroes.

Their greatest quest would take them
on a dangerous journey

to fight a mysterious creature
known as the Ender Dragon.

[dragon roars]

In the end, the Order of the Stone
emerged victorious

and the dragon was defeated.

Their story complete, they slipped away
into the pages of legend.

But when one story ends,
another one begins.

[Jesse grunting]

[Olivia] Would you rather fight
a hundred chicken-sized zombies

or ten zombie-sized chickens?

[Petra] Okay, Olivia asked
which thing you'd rather fight.

You get to choose what Jesse says next.

Just to be clear,
you wouldn't have any weapons or armor.

So you'd have to fight them
with your hands.

That's easy. I'll take the little, tiny,
little zombies.

A hundred of them crawling all over you
with their tiny hands.

[growls]

All I need is, like, a shovel.
I'm telling you, way too easy.

So, I've got a daylight sensor
on the roof...

-[Jesse] Mm-hmm.
-And if I did this right,

these lamps should turn on
once it gets dark.

I didn't wanna leave Reuben here
with nothing

while we're at the building competition.

-He's coming with us.
-[Olivia] Really?

[squealing]

What kind of question is that?
Of course he is.

Okay. I'm not saying
he shouldn't come. I'm not.

But don't you think it's weird

that you take him with you
everywhere you go?

-Reuben's my best friend.
-I thought I was your best friend.

Oh. Both of you are.

I didn't mean anything by it.
I'm glad he's coming.

I just don't wanna give people
one more reason to call us "losers."

-Who cares what other people think?
-I know. I'm just...

It wears you down.

You say you're not a loser, Olivia...

so win.

Okay. Fine.

[hissing]

Do you hear that?

Oh, no.

-Boo!
-[screaming]

[squealing]

[laughs] Oh, man!

You guys totally freaked out!
That was awes--

-[Axel grunts]
-Axel, what's the matter with you?

Great, now I'm gonna smell
like a pig at EnderCon.

I thought we were buddies.

That wasn't funny, Axel.

I brought you good times,
I'm being punished for it?

You scared us half to death!

-Did you bring the fireworks?
-Of course I did.

I even brought something
for the little guy.

Nice!

You brought Reuben a disguise?

Um, we're going to a convention.
Somebody's gotta wear a costume.

[Jesse] He looks awesome!

[Axel] It only took, like,
a million hours to build it.

All right, all right.

You definitely brought
the fireworks, right?

Yes. I'm ready. Waiting on you guys.

If he was really your best friend,

you wouldn't let him go outside
dressed like that.

The only thing more dangerous
than putting a costume on a pig

is trying to take it off.

Hurry up and grab your stuff!

-We'll meet you downstairs, okay?
-Okay.

[Reuben snorting]

Uh, flint and steel. Not too shabby.

One of these days, we're gonna win
the EnderCon Building Competition.

And when we do,
people will look at us and say,

"Hey, there goes Jesse and Reuben,

winners of the EnderCon
Building Competition."

[squeals]

Give me a dragon roar, Reuben.

[roars]

That'll do Reuben. That'll do.

[squealing]

That's everything.

Let's roll.

Yeah, dude. Roll.

Let's go.

I heard a pretty juicy rumor
about the building competition,

but you guys have to promise
not to say anything.

Okay.

Also, it's in two parts,

-each part more exciting than the last
-Spit it out, Axel.

Part one, the special guest
at this year's EnderCon

is none other than Gabriel the Warrior
him-freaking-self!

Whoa! What's part two?

Part two, according to my sources,

the winner of the building competition
is gonna get to meet him!

It doesn't mean anything if we lose.

But if we win... oh, man,
this would make up for all the losing.

Meeting Gabriel
would be a dream and an honor.

Totally. He's awesome.
It'd be amazing to meet him.

[Axel] Reuben better be careful
in that costume.

The last time Gabriel saw a dragon,
it didn't end well.

So, does this "source" of yours
make posters for a living?

Huh?

Yeah. My, uh, source doesn't exist.

You guys are my only friends.

Guys, let's stay focused.
We have a competition to win.

We never win.
And this year we've got Reuben with us.

-We're going to win because--
-What are you talking about?

Because up to now we've hated losing.

But today, today, my friends,

we're going to start learning
how to love winning.

That didn't sound as good
as it did in my head.

-No, no. I'm with that.
-All right.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

We're thinking about this all wrong.

The point of the building competition
isn't just to build something.

You have to do something
to get noticed by the judges.

Okay, then.
So how do we do this?

We don't just build something functional,
we build something fun!

After we finish the fireworks machine
like we planned,

then we build something cool on top of it.

You might be on to something.

If you wanna get a reaction
out of the judges,

you build something scary.

So I say we build a creeper.

Wouldn't an Enderman be better?
I'm more scared of Endermen than creepers.

[Axel] They both have their moments.
Both pretty scary.

All right, let's build the creeper.

You're going with Axel's idea?

What's wrong with my idea?

-Nothing. It could totally be cool.
-It is cool.

Yeah. I think this is the first time
we've decided on something

before getting to the competition.

-Think we've got everything we need?
-It wouldn't hurt to grab a little more.

Let's get to grabbin', then.

We're so prepared. We can't lose.

Cannot. Bring it in.

"Dare to Prepare" on three.
No. "Preparing is daring."

Nope, that's the same thing.
Forget it. "Team" on three.

One, two, three.

-Team!
-[Axel] Prepare!

[snorts]

[panting]

[growls]

[muffled shouting]

[panting]

[sheep bleats]

[screams]

[squeals]

We know what we're building,
we've got all the stuff for it.

-We are so ready.
-This year, it's going to be different.

I'm not just ready to build,
I'm ready to win.

-Nice pig, losers.
-[all groan]

[Axel] Oh, great,
there's Lukas and the Ocelots.

The rivalry continues.

Man, they've got matching leather jacket
and everything.

So cool.

Well, well, well,
if it isn't the Order of the Losers.

Great, the Fail Squad's here.

Lukas, get a load of these losers.

Let's go, guys.

-Name, please?
-Axel. And a how do you do?

No, your team name.

Team name?

We are not ready for this.

So much for losing anonymously.

We're the Order of the Pig.

[squeals]

Really?

Is it meant to tie us to Reuben,
or are you making fun of me?

Okay, Order of the Pig.
You guys are in booth five.

-[shouting]
-[laughter]

Is that a freakin' beacon?
They have a freakin' beacon?

Freakin' beacon?

That's stained glass.

They aren't just building a beacon,
they're building a rainbow beacon.

Our design is better.

A creeper that shoots fireworks
is cooler than a fancy light.

Their difficulty score is going to be
higher than our total score.

But we've got something
they don't: fireworks.

We should probably stop staring at them.

[mocking laugh]

Look, it's the Order of the Losers...
again.

[chuckles] Good one, Gill.

We're just looking.

There'll be plenty of time
for you to look at it

after it wins and gets shown at EnderCon.

-You're being unpleasant.
-Maybe not all of you.

EnderCon doesn't allow
outside food or drink.

[squeals]

Shut up.

What's that?

Jesse said, "Shut up."
Do you need to hear it again?

I don't know. Maybe.

Stop wasting your time, Aiden.
We've got work to do.

You're lucky I'm busy.

-Hey, Jesse. Guys.
-Hey, Petra.

-How's the build going?
-Only time will tell.

But we're optimistic.

Hey, Petra, I forgot to thank you
for that Nether star.

-Hey, Lukas. Not a problem.
-You helped these tools?

For the right price, I'll help anyone.

If you need anything,
you know where to find me.

[Olivia] None of us know
where to find you.

Exactly.

No hard feelings, guys.

If you're cool with Petra,
you're cool with us.

So why don't we just forget
about all this,

and, you know,
make this about how cool our builds are?

We're going to crush you.

[laughs] I don't know if you know this,
but we're pretty good.

Oh, wait.

I get it. It's like a joke, right?

No, I'm serious.

We're going to destroy you.

[scoffs]

You know, you're really funny.
That's awesome. Hey, good luck.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome
to the EnderCon Building Competition!

The winners of this year's competition

will have their build
featured at EnderCon.

The winners will also meet, in person,
Gabriel the Warrior.

[crowd cheering]

[group] Ocelots!

Ocelots!

Ocelots!

Whoa. A handshake?
We don't have a handshake.

We'll just make one up.

We'll call it the, uh...

The Warrior Whip!

And just like that, I'm nervous again.

Don't talk like that. We can do this.

Just stick to the plan
and everything will be fine.

This year, we can't lose.

Let's do it.

[woman] Building starts now!

Oh, no! A fireworks dispenser?
I'm so scared!

You worry about your build,
and we'll worry about ours.

And now, the moment of truth.

Here goes nothing.

Oh, man, that looks so cool.
We'll win this for sure.

The creeper
was definitely the right way to go.

Guys, people are looking at us.

Good build, man!

What? No way.

It's just a bunch of dyed wool.

Whoops.

[squealing]

[Jesse] Oh, no! Reuben's on fire!

Reuben, no! Come back!

It was Aiden. That punk.

-[Olivia] The lava's getting closer.
-It'll ruin the build!

Reuben's going to get lost.

-You guys stay and save the build.
-[Axel] On it!

[Olivia] We got it covered, Jesse.
Be careful.

We'll meet up with you at EnderCon!

Reuben, where are you?

Just give me an "oink" if you can hear me.

[Petra] Okay, so now you get to choose
where to go.

Go ahead, select a location.

Reuben?

Reuben? Reuben?

Oh, no. Are you in there, buddy?

Oh, jeez.
Please don't be toasted, Reuben.

Whew!

[squeals]

Reuben!

There you are!

Oh, I'm so happy to see you!

[growling]

[squeals]

Reuben, run!

[panting]

I think we're good.

[screams]

I think we made it. [screams]

[squealing]

[growling]

[Reuben squeals]

Back! Get back!

Stay behind me. I've got you.

Ah! Stupid wooden swords!

[growling continues]

I know it's bad. I'll think of something.

There's too many of them, buddy.

Don't leave that spot, no matter what.

You hear me? I've got you.

[squealing]

Get away from him!

Oh, no! He got you!

[hisses]

[screams, grunts]

Get off me!

Come on, let's get out of the open.

[growling]

I wanna show you something.

Not that this isn't a really cool,
dimly lit tunnel,

but how far away is this thing
you wanna show me?

Careful, Jesse. You don't wanna get
a reputation as a wimp.

This isn't my first time in a cave, Petra.

Yeah, but have you ever seen...
a Wither skull?

-Whoa!
-Fresh from the Nether.

That's insane, Petra.
You could've gotten yourself k*lled.

[chuckles] Don't worry so much.
I can handle myself.

There's this guy I'm meeting up with
at EnderCon.

He's gonna trade me a diamond for it.

Why didn't he just go
get the skull himself?

He's not the kind of guy who has time
to do something like that.

What kind of guy is he, then?

The kind who understands
the value of hard work.

-Wow.
-"Wow" what?

In a single day, you went to the Nether,
you k*lled a Wither skeleton...

I mean, I did build a super-cool statue,
but still.

It's pretty sweet being you, huh?

You know, you could come with me.

I mean, if you're too nervous,
I totally get it.

But I wouldn't mind a little backup.

You want me to come with you?

Consider it my charitable act for the day.

I'll consider it whatever you want me
to consider it, so long as I get to come.

You just keep a crafting table down here?

Comes in handy.

Since that wooden sword of yours
got busted...

-You're giving me a new one?
-Even better. You can make your own.

One stick plus two stones
equals one sword.

-Just grab what you need.
-Oh. Okay. Thanks.

Hey, is all this stuff yours?

No, we're just stealing from whoever
was dumb enough to leave this here.

-Of course it's mine.
-Just making sure.

Here we go!

Jackpot!

See? Isn't it better
when you make it yourself?

Check it out.
EnderCon's all lit up.

I can't believe it. We won!

Good for you, Jesse.

It's about time we beat Lukas
and his g*ng of jerks.

What kind of a stupid name
is the Ocelots anyway?

You know, Lukas may be kind of arrogant,

but he has come through for me
in tricky situations.

You might wanna get to know him,
just in case.

Yeah, you might be right.

I'm just saying if you run into him
at EnderCon, try talking to him.

I don't need a lecture on the power
of collaboration, Petra.

How about a lecture
on the power of my fists?

It's short, but deadly.

Come on, let's hurry.

[Petra] Remember what EnderCon was like
before it was cool?

[Jesse] Remember what we were like
before we were cool?

-[Petra] Some of us will never be cool.
-Ha ha.

[growling]

Creepers!

[Petra] This doesn't look good.

Well, there's only one way
off this bridge.

Whatever we do, we do it together.

Hurry up, Jesse!

All right, let's jump!

[Jesse] Whoo-hoo!

[theme music playing]

-It burns, it burns!
-Don't you know?

You dive into the water,
you don't land on top of it.

Pull yourself together and follow me.

[Reuben snorts]

[dance music playing]

-[clucking]
-[indistinct chattering]

So, when we're making the deal,
I need you to let me do the talking, okay?

Should I be nervous about this?

Given your personality,
your life experience,

and everything else you've done
to make it to this moment... yes.

-Jesse!
-And... Petra?

Hey, you all know Petra,
my new super-close friend.

We're super close now.

We ran into each other
while I was looking for Reuben.

-What were you doing in the woods, Petra?
-Nothing.

Just drawn by the sound
of Jesse's high-pitched screams.

I would've been spider bait
if she hadn't have found me.

-Sorry we didn't come with you, Jesse.
-But, hey, we won!

We did okay, didn't we?

I still wish I'd gotten that part
in the back to look better.

[Axel] I could've fit more fireworks
in there somewhere.

-I'm proud of you guys.
-Aw, shucks.

Don't make me blush.
Seriously, don't.

Hey, Jesse,
it's time to go see about that thing.

-Oh, right. The "thing."
-Subtle.

-Yeah?
-As a punch to the face.

Axel and I were gonna head into EnderCon.
See you in there?

I heard somebody saying there's free cake
by the map booth.

Hurry, we're supposed to meet
in the alley over there.

Dark. Dark.

Very dark in here.

That's weird.

He said the dark, creepy alley
close to the gates, but he's not here.

Maybe he's late.

Are you sure this
is the dark, creepy alley he meant?

Hmm. I was.

Okay, new plan.

You stay here just in case
this is the spot he meant,

and I'll look around.

Okay, I'll hold down the fort.

Thanks, Jesse.
I'll be back before you know it.

If he shows up while I'm gone,
just stall for me.

[snorts]

-[man clears throat]
-[screams]

And just who are you?

I'm waiting.

Answer me!

The name's Jesse. What's it to you?

I'm supposed to meet with Petra,
not whatever you're supposed to be.

Give me one good reason why I shouldn't
walk out of here right now.

You're the guy
who needed a Wither skull, right?

Not so loud, you idiot!

Too many people know my business already.

Do you have the skull?

Well, Petra has it
and she'll be back any minute now.

Well, as long as she's bringing it,

I suppose it wouldn't k*ll me
to wait a minute longer.

Uh... well...

-[Petra] Ivor.
-Ah, here she is.

Sorry I'm late,
but good things are worth waiting for.

-I've got what you asked for.
-If you have what you promised us.

You didn't say anything about an "us"
when we first met.

And I don't like surprises.

If these are the sorts of people
you associate with,

perhaps we should call
the whole thing off.

My friend is fine. Right, Jesse?
There's no problem here.

Let's not be too hasty, okay?

This is just a little misunderstanding.

I'm cool if he's cool.

It's settled, then. You're both cool.

Proceed, then.

[Petra] I'll take that diamond now.

Take it. You've earned it.

Uh, this isn't a diamond.

No, it's lapis!

I knew we couldn't trust that guy.

We're going after him.

I'm either getting that diamond,
or I'm getting my skull back.

-Or you'll make him pay, right? Right?
-Come on!

Do you see him anywhere?

We lost him.

Then we'll just have
to find him again. Go!

There he is! Gabriel! Gabriel!

-[usher] Step aside, please!
-[woman] I have just one question!

-'Sup?
-'Sup?

Nothing. 'Sup with you?

Nothing. 'Sup with you?

I just said. Nothing.

Hey, uh...

congrats on the win.

I mean, I still think
our beacon was amazing,

but you guys did a pretty good job, too.

I mean, I thought the whole monster theme
was plenty cool, but fireworks, too?

It was... sort of cool.

You know, that stunt your friend pulled
really hurt my pig.

Okay, maybe,
but I had nothing to do with that.

Hey, you didn't happen to see
a creepy guy with long hair and a beard

roaming around, did you?

I don't think so. Why?

He kinda scammed Petra
out of a diamond earlier.

Oh-h*!

Everyone knows you don't mess with Petra,
not if you know what's good for you.

-I'll keep an eye out, okay?
-Thanks. I appreciate it.

So, uh, we're cool?

Yeah, we're cool.

-Cool, cool.
-[chuckles]

-See you later, Lukas.
-Yeah, see you.

[clucking]

[Axel] Thought you could wiggle
out of that trap, didn't you?

Well, wiggle as much as you want,
you're not going anywhere.

Axel, listen up. Any chance you've seen
a creepy-looking beardy guy anywhere?

No, but Petra told me what happened.

I'm keeping an eye out for him.

Okay, so I got a little distracted.

It's just this machine
presses all my buttons.

Unnecessarily complicated
and mean to birds for no reason.

Stop messing around.
We need your help.

I was looking, I swear.
I've just got a short attention span.

All right, all right! I'll look.

-After I watch one more chicken get owned.
-[clucking]

Ha! I see you now, weirdo.

Well, if it isn't Team Trashbag!

How's your stupid pig?

Kinda busy right now, man.

What, busy trying to get a life?

Busy trying to find some friends?

Hey.

-Where do you think--
-What do you think you're doing?

-Oh, I'm sorry.
-Get away from me!

I said I was sorry.

[pig squealing]

Reuben? Is that you?

Nothing sticks to your ribs
quite like a juicy pork chop!

Reuben!

What's the big idea?
I'm trying to run a business here.

That's my pig!
You kidnapped my pig!

Well, I don't know
what you're talking about, chief.

I found this pig wandering alone
in the streets.

-Please? He's my friend.
-To me, he's inventory.

I might be amenable to some kind of trade.

Not that you look like
you got much of value. [chuckles]

I gotta get some kind of return
on my investment.

Otherwise, it's straight
to the slaughterhouse for this one.

Give me back my pig.

All right, you little maniac, fine.
Take him, he's yours.

Come on, Reuben.

[snorts]

I'm sorry, Reuben.

I was so busy trying to find
that creepy dude, I didn't notice...

[squealing]

Remember that thing
I had to go do with Petra?

Long story short, we met up with this guy,

he cheated me and Petra on a deal,
and now we're trying to track him down.

-You in?
-Oh, I'm in, all right.

Any sign of him?

I thought I saw him earlier,
but it was just a false alarm.

[Jesse] Wait! There he is!
Looks like he's heading towards the hall.

We have to get past that usher
to follow him.

Let's go!

So, yeah, hey.

What would it take
to get us inside tonight?

Uh, tickets. [laughs]

This might sound crazy,
but we're on an important mission.

I hope your mission came with tickets
to the show 'cause, I mean, otherwise...

-[clucks]
-Chicken!

Chicken, chicken, chicken!

It's gone. You're totally fine.
You're a totally cool dude.

We have to do something.

Like what?
This show has been sold out for ages.

We need a distraction.

A lot of chickens running around
might be a distraction.

-Shoo, shoo. Get outta here!
-The usher is afraid of chickens.

What would you say if I told you
I wanna break this guy's chicken machine

to create the mother of all distractions?

But you have to break that pane of glass.
How are you gonna reach it?

Let's look around.
There has to be something we can do.

I bet I could reach that glass
with a slime block.

Well, you've come to the right place.
Our slime's the best.

Oh. Hey, we meet again.
[nervous chuckle]

One slime block, please.

We don't give out slime blocks here,
just slime ba*ls.

We've got a limited supply today,

and we're only giving out
two per customer.

-Can I please, please have some slime?
-Ugh! Whatever.

A round of slime ba*ls
for everyone, please.

Wait, this is only eight slime ba*ls.
We need one more to make a block.

We need to find another way
to get some more slime, and quick.

On it!

Hey, Lukas, can you do me a favor?

-Anything's possible.
-I need slime ba*ls.

I swear I have a really good explanation.

Whatever you guys are doing,
count me in.

Thanks, Lukas.
Told you he was useful.

Oh, man.
This guy isn't actually cool, is he?

Remains to be seen.

It's crafting time.

Ta-da! One slime block.

-Gross.
-I'll take that.

Right... there.

It's all you, Jesse.

Give me a boost.

Whee!

[clucking]

My poultry! My precious poultry!

Keep your eyes closed!
They'll peck out your eyes!

[screams]

Now's our chance!

-Hey!
-[clucking]

[oinking]

-Where'd he go?
-There!

[Jesse] Through that door!

What do we do once we catch him?

There are a million ways to play this.

But considering this isn't my fight,
I'll follow your lead.

We politely ask for what's ours.

Short, sweet and to the point. Not bad.

-Ready?
-Ready.

[snorts]

[oinks]

See anything?

He must have gone out another way.

-What is all this?
-Looks like it used to be the basement.

Weird place to have a hideout.

I bet you anything
I'll find my Wither skull here.

And if we find anything else cool
to steal along the way, so be it, right?

Axel, that's not what we're here to do.

I said we should ask politely, Axel.

Yeah, but if the guy's not here,
we can't ask, so I say we take.

Let's focus on finding the skull,
not stealing.

-Nobody ever lets me have any fun.
-We let you hang out with us.

The faster we find what we're looking for,

the faster we can get
the heck out of here.

Oh, hello.

Too heavy and too soft.

But super flashy.

You're keeping it?
But I thought it was too soft, too heavy.

Eh, it still might come in handy.
And it is super flashy.

Hey, you still have
that one stone sword, right?

Yep.

Find anything?

I wanna steal that and that.

I just wanna touch that.

Ooh. Take a look at this.

You're not gonna believe me,
but I swear I had a dream about this.

Okay, potion,
I know this is a big step, but...

I would be honored
if you'd come home with me.

Come on, Axel, make yourself useful
and go find that skull.

I am.

Nope. You're literally doing the exact
opposite of what I just asked you to do.

There's no way he won't notice
his fancy potion is missing.

A good thief always covers his tracks.

-Fixed it!
-Oh, yeah, the perfect crime.

[snorts]

Hey, Reuben. Find any clues?

What is it, buddy? You smell something?

[squeals]

Something over there? Good work, Reuben.

[Jesse] What is all this stuff?

Soul Sand.
It was everywhere in the Nether.

-What about that block in the middle?
-I've never seen one of these before.

I wonder if I just take a closer look.

-Don't touch that, Olivia!
-I was just curious.

Don't forget what we're here for.
Find that skull.

So, good news, weird news.
I found the skull, but...

Why'd I risk my neck for that skull
if he's got two of them already?

Maybe Ivor's some kind of collector.
A trophy hunter?

Or he could be collecting them
to make a bunch of banners.

I think I know what's going on here.
Soul Sand plus three Wither skulls.

That's the recipe for a Wither.

-But a Wither, that's--
-One of the worst monsters there is.

We came down here to find the skull.
Well, we found it.

Maybe we should just grab it
and get out of here while we still can.

-[gasps] Guys?
-Scatter!

"Don't you recognize me?"
Or wait. "Surprised to see me?"

No, that's not good.

"Thought you were rid of me, didn't you?"
That's better.

-[bottle clinking]
-What was that?

Who's there?

-Olivia, look out!
-What are you doing here?

-What did you see?
-Leave her alone!

Yeah! Back off, pal.

You two? Did you follow me here?

Thought you'd get away with it,
didn't you?

We're here to prove you wrong.

What are you going to do about it?

We know what you're doing down here.

Soul Sand and three Wither skulls?
You're building a Wither!

Huh, smarter than you look.

Hey, nobody talks to my friends like that.
Now shut your mouth... or else.

Enough! You've wasted
too much of my time already.

Where'd he go?

If you won't leave of your own volition,
I'll happily remove you myself!

[growls]

Show our friends the door, will you?

[Reuben squeals]

[gasps, grunts]

[screams]

[Reuben squealing]

[Wither roaring]

-[Lydia] Oh, man, this is so exciting!
-[Owen] It sure is!

And now, for the first time ever
here at EnderCon,

we are very proud to present...

The one, the only...

-Gabriel!
-Gabriel!

[cheering]

[Lydia] Gabriel!

-Please. Please.
-[girl] We love you!

Thank you.

Are you with me?

[crowd cheering]

Everybody okay?

-Um, guys, where's Lukas?
-I thought he was right behind me.

Well, if he's not here,
the only place he could be is...

He's still down there.

Ivor's got an iron golem

and all the ingredients to build a Wither.

If he were to unleash it
in this crowd of people...

We have to act fast.

It just so happens that the greatest
warrior of all time is in the building.

We should ask Gabriel for help.

-This is the smartest way to help Lukas.
-He's tough.

I hope he's tough enough
to hold out a bit longer.

[Gabriel] ...exploits of the Order
of the Stone than even I do.

But then, it's so easy to doubt ourselves,
isn't it?

It's easy to tell ourselves
we can't do the things we wanna do.

We need Gabriel to get Lukas back

and to deal with everything else
we saw down there.

We're doing the right thing, Jesse.

I hope Lukas can hold out against
that golem long enough for us to get help.

-Come on, then.
-Let's crash this party.

With the right training and guidance,

anyone, and I mean anyone,
can become a hero.

You just have to believe it.

I want you to look me in the eyes...

We've just gotta push through this crowd
to get to Gabriel.

[Gabriel] Start believing today.

Now, I'd like to open up the floor
for a few questions.

Keep it orderly, folks.

And you, right there in the front row.

You know, when, uh, Ellegaard
and the dragon...

Um, like, what was her favorite food?

Bread. Next question.

What question do you have
for the mighty Gabriel?

Every person here is in danger!

Now hold on just a minute.
If this is a joke, it isn't funny.

I'm not joking.

Somebody's been building
a monster in the basement.

Hmm... Perhaps we should have
this checked out.

[Ivor] I have a question for you.

Excuse me, sir,
you'll have to wait your turn.

[Ivor] Just tell me first.
Do you really believe anyone can be great?

With enough hard work, yes.

Was that where I went wrong?
I simply didn't work hard enough?

Ivor?

That's the guy who attacked us
in the basement!

I wish I could say I was surprised.

If it's surprises you want,
you're in for a treat.

Why don't you tell them the real story,
Gabriel?

I see time has made you bitter.

And it's made you an even bigger fool.

Now, these people were promised greatness,
and I'm ready to deliver.

I'm sorry
this is how they had to learn the truth.

Gabriel, you have to stop him!

[Ivor] Nothing built
can last forever, Gabriel.

[Gabriel] Ivor, no!

[grunts]

Creature, attack!

[clamoring]

[grunts]

Everyone, stay calm!
This foul beast is no match for me!

Creature, attack!

[yells, grunts]

What have you done?

-[Jesse] Gabriel!
-[Gabriel] No! Stay away!

It's after me, not you.

Look at him! The mighty Gabriel!

Looks like true greatness
is out of his reach.

He may not be able
to defeat this creature, but I can!

Creature, retreat!

[clears throat] Creature, retreat!

Retreat, I said!

Retreat!

He's lost control of it!

Oh, no need to be alarmed, my friends.

I have an elixir
that will destroy this creature.

That potion, is that...?

Uh-oh.

Oh, what?

Impossible! It should have worked.

I took such care!

The potion.
Axel, you've gotta throw the real potion.

But finders keepers!

You thieves! You're ruining everything!

Axel, come on!

Jesse, throw it!

[Ivor] It's protecting itself!

Without the command block exposed,
the potion is useless!

It wasn't supposed to happen like this!

Ivor! You coward, come back here!

[yells]

Jesse, help me!

Thank you.

Ivor was right about one thing.

I can't defeat that thing, not on my own.

Everyone's running away except for you.

-Will you help me?
-Of course!

Follow me!

[screaming]

Out of my way, chickens!

[snarls]

[growls]

[Reuben squealing]

Wait!

Hey, I'm up here! Somebody help me!

Guys!

[grunts]

Lukas!

You guys just left me down there!
Abandoned me!

No! We were trying to warn Gabriel
and get him to help!

Jesse!

Wait, wait! We have to stay together!

Jesse, help me!

[screams]

I can't hold on!

[screams]

[screams]

Do we still have everyone?

We must set out for my fortress.
We'll be better protected there.

Thanks for that just now.

Yeah, well, now we're even, right?

Incoming!

This way!

Hurry! Inside the temple!

The inner chamber
is built entirely of obsidian.

We should be untouchable in there.

[Reuben squealing]

Hurry! If you can get through the portal,
you'll be safe!

-Uh, something's not right here.
-It's not lit!

Let's get out of here!

Everyone, get in, now!

-[Reuben squealing]
-[Gabriel screams]

Gabriel!

-[Jessie yelps]
-[Gabriel grunts]

[groans] Thank you.

There are so many of them,
I... I can't save them all.

I can't stop this by myself.
We need to find the others.

-Others?
-Soren's been missing for years.

But the others, you must seek them out.

Take this amulet
and guard it with your life.

You can do this.

You must.

How am I supposed to find Magnus
and Ellegaard?

The amulet will guide you.

Take it through the portal, and then..

You two, go through the portal
and meet up with the others.

-I'll stay here and do what I can.
-I'm coming with you!

No, you're not. The g*ng needs you, Jesse.
Go through the portal.

If anything happens,
I'll meet you guys at the temple.

[gasps]

Oh, no!

Can't get away from it!

Jesse, do something!

Somebody, help!

[grunts]

Thanks, Jesse! Gabriel's still up there!

Jesse, go!

No!

[grunts]

Where's Petra?

We did everything we could.

-What are you saying?
-It was chaos.

-Wasn't much I could do.
-Jesse's right.

Petra is still up there.

I got scared, just for a second.

You got scared?

It wasn't my fault.

You got scared and it's not your fault?

Back off, Axel.

We gotta go back.

She just needs more time.

Petra needs our help. We're going.

Hey, there she is!

Come on, come on!

[grunts]

You again.

[screaming]

Ivor.

You ruined everything!

You can't blame us!

-Your plan, your monster, your fault.
-Maybe.

But if you hadn't stolen from me,
I would have destroyed it

and all of those people
would have been saved.

There's nothing left up there!
Nothing but that Wither Storm.

Why are we wasting time
talking to this jerk?

We have to go and get Petra.

-The girl! I saw her.
-What?

While I was running toward the portal,
I passed her.

She was running in the opposite direction.

Such bravery.

Of course, there's a fine line
between bravery and stupidity.

And your friend has crossed it.

I'm saying she's stupid.

She's going to make it.

You're concerned about your friend.
It's admirable.

You're all going to be dead very soon.

We'll see about that.

You don't even realize
you're in danger right now.

So are you.

Through that tunnel
is a network of mine carts

built by the Order of the Stone.

It's your only way out.

I don't like this, but he might be right.

Bravo for embracing the truth.

[creature growling in distance]

What was that?

I would wish you good luck, but luck
won't carry you through the Nether.

You have my sympathies.

[slurps]

[clinks]

-[screams]
-[mimics screaming]

-Let's get out of here!
-Run!

[screaming]

This must be what Ivor was talking about.

[shrieks]

Everybody, hold on!

[groans]

[Lukas] Wow.

The Nether.

Yeah, that is a lot of lava.

And fire. And other things
that could burn you to death.

-[Reuben squeals]
-Oh, no!

[Lukas] Oh, that's a drop.
That is very, very much a drop.

What are you talking about, new guy?

What drop-- Oh! You weren't kidding.

[snorts]

Here we go!

Oh, no.

[Lukas] Duck!

Watch it!

Okay, so I'm not the only one seeing
that we're running out of track, right?

[Lukas] No!

[Axel] Good!

Jesse, that switch! Now! Do it!

Arms, don't fail me now.

[shouts]

[laughs] Wow, I thought something bad
was going to happen there,

but, hey, I guess everything's gonna be--

-Whoa!
-Jesse!

-[Axel] No!
-[Olivia] Wait!

[Axel] Oh, man!

Uh, Axel? Olivia? Reuben? Anybody?

[Reuben squeals]

Hang on, Reuben!

Reuben!

Okay, Reuben,

remember when I said everything
was going to be just fine before?

I know I was wrong then,
but I have a very good feeling about--

Whoa!

Duck!

[grunts]

[squeals]

Well, Ghasts are officially
crossed off my to-see list.

Done with the Ghasts.
Never need to see them.

Are you freaking kidding me with this?

[Reuben squeals]

This is bad, this is bad, this is bad!

[slo-mo shriek]

-[Reuben squeals]
-[Lukas grunts]

Is... is everyone okay?

I mean, I'm not dead.
I guess that's pretty good.

Ditto. Ditto with the not dead.

I just can't believe Petra
comes down here all the time.

This place is awful.

[chuckles] Your throat's going
to be sore later, Axel.

-[Axel] Why?
-[Lukas] I'm just saying.

Wasn't that you doing
all that screaming before?

Sounded like you were
shredding your larynx.

Oh, yeah! I heard that, too.

Really high-pitched,
kind of like a squeaky piston.

What? No. Shut up.

Never mind. Must have-- [chuckles]
Must have been something else.

You know how you have
those experiences you remember

and reminisce about
for the rest of your lives?

Yeah.

This isn't one of those.
Let's never discuss this ever again.

[squeals]

[Jesse]
Can you throw up, like, inside your body?

[Olivia] Uh-huh. I know
because I just did... about five times.

[Jesse] Wow! Look at this place!

All these tracks converge at this point.

You could probably get anywhere
in the world from here.

There's the portal!

-This is what Gabriel was talking about.
-That's our way out.

[Olivia] It must lead back to the surface.

The surface
is also where that creature is.

He's right.

We have no idea what we're walking into.
It could be dangerous.

Thanks for being so brave, Axel.

All right, I'm gonna go.

I'm going. I'm going right now.

Like, right, right now.

I just need to make sure
I have everything I'll need.

I think I put the thing...
over in the, um...

I'll go first.

That's not what I was saying.

I'm going.

Well, if you absolutely insist.

Well, see you guys on the other side,
I guess.

-Be careful.
-Thanks, Jesse.

Okay, not what I was expecting.

[growling]

[grunts]

Oh, man. That was close.

There was a zombie.

Oh.

Is it dead? I mean, you know, dead-dead.

Yeah.

[Olivia] Where are we?

In the dark, in the middle of nowhere.

[Lukas] Maybe we should bed down
for the night.

It's dangerous to be out
when it's this dark.

-Thought we were headed toward a temple.
-We're looking for a giant building.

-It should be pretty obvious.
-Ivor said--

Oh, "Ivor said."

Well, then maybe this is the temple.

-Take it easy, Axel.
-He called me stupid.

-No, I didn't.
-But you wanted to.

-No, I didn't.
-Huh? Did you say something?

-We have to build a shelter.
-I thought that was what I said, but...

Yup, that's totally...

It's getting dark and stuff.

I say we build a treehouse.

That'll take forever
and we'll be exposed while we do it.

We just need a quick and dirty hut.

Look, whatever it is, we gotta do it fast.

What?

In a hut, we won't know what's coming
until it's knocking on our door.

A treehouse is gonna be spider town.
I hate spiders.

-Let's go with a treehouse.
-It's functional.

It'll keep us out of danger.

It's not a bad idea.

All right, fine.

Let's get started, then.

If I wake up with a spider on my face,
I'm gonna expect you to deal with it.

Lower your expectations, Axel.

Well, maybe if we'd built into the tree
a little bit more, it could've...

Never mind.

-It's-- This is fine. It's good!
-[Jesse] Looks good, guys.

-[Axel] Oh, man!
-[Olivia] What?

I'm going to tell you something.
You have to promise not to freak out.

What is it?

I have cookies.

One for me.

One for Olivia.

One for Jesse.

Thanks, Axel.

[Axel] And one for Reuben.

Sorry, Lukas. I only have four.

Oh, no, it's all right.
I'm not that hungry anyway.

I'll just... grab something
in the morning or something.

-Take it, Lukas.
-No, no, I...

I can't do that.

I insist.

Thank you, Jesse.

That was for you, Jesse, not him.

If you had to,
which would you rather fight,

a hundred chicken-sized zombies
or ten zombie-sized chickens?

Choose wisely.

[chuckles] Uh...

That's a good one. Let me think.

How can you guys joke at a time like this?

Petra is still out there.

Petra wouldn't mind at all.
She'd want us to keep our spirits up.

If I were her, I'd...

I don't know. It feels wrong.

Fine. Then... we should get some rest.

We gotta start looking for this temple
as early as we can.

Now, my guess is if we start
at the portal and kind of split up--

Whoa, what are you doing?

He's just trying to help.

-See?
-I'm sorry, Jesse.

I'm not gonna sit here and listen
to this guy telling us what's what.

I'm trying to get ready for tomorrow.

You're the only one wearing
that stupid jacket.

Don't tell us what to do.

Take that back.

Can't. Wouldn't.

You know what? I get to wear this jack
because I know how to build.

Doesn't mean
I don't know how to break things.

Your threats don't scare me
now that we know how you really are.

-Jesse, your friend is way out of line.
-Let's just drop it.

Don't be like that, Jesse.

Just drop it.

Haven't you done enough damage
for one day?

Petra might be dead because of you.

You're taking this too far, Axel.

I don't have to take this.

Listen, why don't I just leave
and let you guys hash this out?

You can't leave. It's dangerous out there.

I can take care of myself.
It's what Axel wants, right?

Let him leave if he wants to leave.

-You're not going anywhere.
-But, Jesse--

That's enough!

We're all on the same team now.
He's staying.

Zombie-sized chickens.

-That's what I would fight.
-Why's that?

Because I'm starving.

[thunder rumbling]

Of course.

Rain is better than monsters.

-Thanks for keeping me around, Jesse.
-[Jesse] Yeah.

[birds chirping]

Sorry about all that business last night.

Honestly, I'm just...

I'm more embarrassed than anything else.

See anything?

Hey! There's something over that way!

[Olivia] What is it?

-[Lukas] Some kind of building, I think.
-Let's get a closer look.

What are we waiting for?

Let's go!

[Reuben squeals]

-What is this place?
-That's what we're trying to figure out.

[Lukas]
It's the Temple of the Order of the Stone.

Lukas, are you sure?

[Jesse] He's right! Look!

-Do you think they're in there?
-Let's go in and find out.

-[Jesse] Let's just all be careful.
-Okay.

If you spot anything, call it out.
We don't have a lot of time.

Isn't it weird how dispensers are carved
to look like spooky little faces?

-[Reuben squeals]
-What do you dispense, little guy?

I get the feeling
that we don't really wanna find out.

-[whirring]
-Get behind me.

[thudding]

[Reuben squeals]

-[Lukas] What was that?
-[Axel] That's probably not a good thing.

[clanking]

Oh, come on, dispenser faces.
I thought we were friends!

-Run!
-[Reuben squeals]

[pants]

[screams]

We're trapped!

We activated the dispensers
with that pressure plate.

If we can figure a way to trigger it
again, bet that'll shut them off.

There's a crafting table.
Maybe we can make something useful.

Out of what?

We don't have anything.

All of our tools and materials
are back home.

All right. Everyone, empty your pockets.
Let's see what we've got to work with.

I have sticks left over
from building the shelter last night.

I've got some flint and a piece of string.

All I have are some chicken feathers
I picked up

after that chicken machine exploded.

Let's see, I've got
some flint and steel, a sword...

and some string from a spider
I fought in the woods earlier.

[Olivia] String, sticks,
flint and feathers.

Let's do this.

-All right!
-Good job, Jesse!

[Lukas] This must be
their enchantment room.

Doesn't this look like
Ivor's creepy basement?

Find anything useful?

Not sure about "useful,"
but definitely interesting.

There is a lot of history in this room.

"The battle was fierce,

but the Order of the Stone
emerged triumphant,

saving the land and ensuring that peace
and prosperity would reign forever."

Well, not exactly forever.

-"These five members..."
-[Ivor] ...five members,

five friends...

together, would give so much
to gain their rightful place

-as five heroes.
-[Jesse] "...as five heroes.

They would author their own end.

They would slay a dragon."

Ivor was a member
of the Order of the Stone?

-The stories never mentioned him.
-This is so crazy.

There must be a reason
he's never been mentioned.

-Maybe he was different back then.
-Maybe they kicked him out.

This is so crazy.

The Order might not be what we thought
they were, but Petra is still out there.

That monster is still out there.

Jesse's right.

We need to focus
on what we came here to do.

Where do these stairs go?

Only one way to find out.

-[Axel] Now this is cool.
-[Jesse] Wow.

[Axel] What happened to the walls?

[Jesse] More like, what happened
to this whole place?

This must have been where they met.

So, where are they, then?

Gabriel said that once we find the temple,

the amulet would lead us
to the Order of the Stone.

Well, what are you waiting for?
Pull it out, then.

Is something supposed to happen?

Well, that was a letdown.

There's gotta be something missing.

Look around and see
if you can find anything.

It's the same as the amulet.

[whirring]

Wow.

It's absolutely incredible!

[Olivia] How did they build this?

This looks like
some sort of tracking system.

It's the Order.
It's showing where they are right now!

Look, we don't know enough
about how this thing works.

Maybe the amulet only tracks them
when they're on the surface.

Or maybe it doesn't work
when they're in the Nether.

We have to go off what we do know.

Petra's relying on us.

That Wither Storm is still out there.

We know that Gabriel
was trying to tell us something.

We've got to find the Order of the Stone.

But there are only two lights.

There are only two members
of the Order left?

He said Soren was missing.

[Lukas] That leaves Magnus.

-Or Ellegaard.
-Let's head out.

I'm not going with you guys.
I have to stay here.

If I know Petra,

she's probably doing everything she can
to find this place.

Just... stay safe, okay?

If there's even a small chance
she's alive... I have to stay.

Go, get help.

I'm gonna focus on making
this place safe before nightfall.

This temple is pretty big, though.

If we're gonna have a chance at
fortifying it, I'm gonna need help.

If maybe one of you guys
could hang back with me?

Sounds like Olivia will have you
totally covered

while me and Jesse are out finding Magnus.

"Finding Magnus?" You really think
that's how it's going to go?

We need Ellegaard.
She's the world's greatest engineer.

She'll figure a way to stop that thing.

We're trying to destroy it.

And when it comes to destruction,
Magnus is the master.

You're a smart person, Jesse.

And obviously, the smart thing to do
is to go get Magnus.

I... think Axel meant
"Ellegaard" there, Jesse.

Uh, no, I don't think I did.
Pretty sure Axel meant "Magnus."

Jesse, the point is
you should be going to Ellegaard's.

It's the clear choice to make.

You've got to come with me.

You're my best friend, Jesse.

It's you and me, like always.

Think about it, Jesse.

This is more of a gut call.

We need to make sure we get this right.

We're not going to get
a second shot at this.

Whatever decision you make,
I'll be cool with it.

-Really?
-As long as it's me.

Come on, Jesse. This is an easy call.

Olivia, you and I
are going to Ellegaard's.

Awesome!

Axel, you stay here with Lukas.

And get the place ready
for when Petra shows up.

What? With that guy?

I'm right here.

Come on, Axel, for Petra's sake.

Fine, I'll do it... for Petra.

I'll take it.

Uh, guys?

[growling]

[Lukas] Please hurry.

I'd have to go with the giant chickens.

Not because I want to
or because I think it would be easy,

but because they would be an abomination.

Imagine their giant feet.

Like I said, an abomination.

So, I've got a daylight sensor
on the roof...

-Mm-hmm.
-...if I did this right,

these lamps should turn on
once it gets dark.

Didn't wanna leave Reuben here
with nothing

while we're at the building competition.

-He's coming with us.
-[Olivia] Really?

[snorts, squeals]

What kind of question is that?
Of course he is.

Okay. I'm not saying he shouldn't come.

I'm not.

But don't you think it's weird
that you take him with you

everywhere you go?

-Reuben's my best friend.
-I thought I was your best friend.

Both of you are.

I didn't mean anything by it.

I'm glad he's coming.

I just don't wanna give people
one more reason to call us "losers."

-Who cares what other people think?
-I know. I'm just...

It wears you down.

You say you're not a loser, Olivia...

so win.

-[Reuben snorts]
-Okay. Fine.

-[hissing]
-[Reuben squeals]

Do you hear that?

Oh, no!

-Boo!
-[screams]

[squeals]

[laughs] Oh, man!

You guys totally freaked out!
That was awes-- [grunts]

Axel, what's the matter with you?

Great, now I'm gonna smell
like a pig at EnderCon.

I thought we were buddies.

-Cool mask.
-It is, isn't it?

Yeah. Very convincing.

[chuckles] The look on your faces!

-Did you bring the fireworks?
-[Axel] Of course I did.

I even brought something
for the little guy.

Nice!

You brought Reuben a disguise?

Um, we're going to a convention.
Somebody's gotta wear a costume.

[Jesse] He looks awesome!

[Axel] It only took, like,
a million hours to build it.

All right, all right.

You definitely brought
the fireworks, right?

Yes. I'm ready. Waiting on you guys.

If he was really your best friend,

you wouldn't let him go outside
dressed like that.

The only thing more dangerous
than putting a costume on a pig

is trying to take it off.

Hurry up and grab your stuff.

-We'll meet you downstairs, okay?
-Okay.

Flint and steel. Not too shabby.

One of these days, we're gonna win
the EnderCon Building Competition.

And when we do,
people will look at us and say,

"Hey, there goes Jesse and Reuben,

winners of the EnderCon
Building Competition."

[squeals]

Give me a dragon roar, Reuben.

[roars]

That'll do, Reuben. That'll do.

[snorts]

That's everything.

-Let's roll.
-Yeah, dude, roll.

Let's go.

I heard a pretty juicy rumor
about the building competition,

but you guys have to promise
not to say anything.

[Olivia] Okay.

Also, it's in two parts,
each part more exciting than the last.

Spit it out, Axel.

Part one, the special guest
at this year's EnderCon

is none other than Gabriel the Warrior
him-freaking-self!

Whoa! What's part two?

Part two, according to my sources,

the winner of the building competition
is gonna get to meet him!

It doesn't mean anything if we lose.

But if we win... oh, man,
this would make up for all the losing.

It's not that big of a deal.
EnderCon will be fun either way.

What? Hold on, let me try that again.

What?

He's right, Jesse. Incredibly.

This is a huge deal.

So, does this "source" of yours
make posters for a living?

Huh?

Yeah. My, uh, source doesn't... exist.

You guys are my only friends.

Guys, let's stay focused.

-We have a competition to win.
-We never win.

And this year we've got Reuben with us.

-We're going to win because--
-What are you talking about?

Because up to now we've hated losing.

But today, today, my friends,

we're going to start learning
how to love winning.

That didn't sound as good
as it did in my head.

No, no. I'm with that.

All right.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.
We're thinking about this all wrong.

The point of the building competition
isn't just to build something.

You have to do something
to get noticed by the judges.

Okay, then. So how do we do this?

We don't just build something functional,
we build something fun.

After we finish the fireworks machine
like we planned...

then we build something cool on top of it.

You might be on to something.

If you wanna get a reaction
out of the judges,

you build something scary.

So I say we build a creeper.

Wouldn't an Enderman be better?
I'm more scared of Endermen than creepers.

They both have their moments.
Both pretty scary.

Let's build an Enderman.

[groans]

Olivia's thing?

-Are you whining?
-No. I was saying, awe...some.

Yeah. I think this is the first time
we've decided on something

before getting to the competition.

-Think we've got everything we need?
-It wouldn't hurt to grab a little more.

Let's get to grabbin', then.

We're so prepared. We can't lose.
Cannot. Bring it in.

"Dare to Prepare" on three.
No. "Preparing is daring."

Nope, that's the same thing.
Forget it. "Team" on three.

-One, two, three. "Team!"
-[Axel] Prepare!

[snorts]

[pants]

[groans]

[muffled gasping]

[sheep bleats]

[screams]

[squeals]

We know what we're building,
we've got all the stuff for it.

We are so ready.

This year, it's going to be different.

I'm not just ready to build,
I'm ready to win.

Nice pig, losers.

[Reuben growls]

[Axel] Oh, great,
there's Lukas and the Ocelots.

The rivalry continues.

Man, they've got matching leather jackets
and everything.

So cool.

Well, well, well.
If it isn't the Order of the Losers.

Great, the Fail Squad's here.

-Lukas, get a load of these losers!
-Let's go, guys.

-Name, please?
-Axel. And a how do you do?

No, your team name.

Team name?

We are not ready for this.

So much for losing anonymously.

We're the Nether Maniacs.

-You just thought of that right now?
-Yup.

-We've never even been to the Nether.
-Who the nether cares?

Okay, Nether Maniacs.
You guys are in booth five.

[groans]

[laughter]

Is that a freakin' beacon?
They have a freakin' beacon?

-Freakin' beacon?
-That's stained glass.

They aren't just building a beacon,
they're building a rainbow beacon.

We're the Dead-Enders.

-Whoa! Sounds like a name for pirates.
-It's cool.

Okay, Dead-Enders.
You guys are in booth 5.

[groans]

[laughter]

Is that a freakin' beacon?
They have a freakin' beacon?

-Freakin' beacon?
-That's stained glass.

They aren't just building a beacon,
they're building a rainbow beacon.

Our design is way cooler.

A gigantic Enderman
is better than a fancy light.

Their difficulty score is gonna be
higher than our total score.

But we've got something they don't:
fireworks.

We should probably stop staring at them.

[mocking laugh]

Look, it's the Order of the Losers...
again.

[chuckles] Good one, Gill.

We're just looking.

There'll be plenty of time for you all
to look at it after it wins

and gets shown at EnderCon.

-You're being unpleasant.
-Maybe not all of you.

EnderCon doesn't allow
outside food or drink.

[snorts]

Shut up.

What's that?

Jesse said, "Shut up."
Do you need to hear it again?

I don't know. Maybe.

Stop wasting your time, Aiden.
We've got work to do.

You're lucky I'm busy.

Hey, Jesse. Guys.

Hey, Petra.

-How's the build going?
-Only time will tell.

But we're optimistic.

Hey, Petra, I forgot to thank you
for that Nether star.

-Hey, Lukas. Not a problem.
-You helped these tools?

For the right price, I'll help anyone.

If you need anything,
you know where to find me.

[Olivia] None of us know
where to find you.

Exactly.

No hard feelings, guys.

If you're cool with Petra,
you're cool with us.

So why don't we just forget
about all this,

and, you know,
make this about how cool our builds are?

-May the best team win.
-Careful what you wish for.

We'll see about that.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome
to the EnderCon Building Competition!

The winners of this year's competition

will have their build featured
at EnderCon.

The winners will also meet, in person,
Gabriel the Warrior.

[crowd cheering]

[group] Ocelots!

Ocelots!

Ocelots!

Whoa. A handshake?
We don't have a handshake.

We'll just make one up.

We'll call it the, uh...

The Redstone Rap!

And just like that, I'm nervous again.

Don't talk like that. We can do this.

Just stick to the plan,
and everything will be fine.

This year, we can't lose.

Let's do it!

[woman] Building starts... now!

Oh, no! A fireworks dispenser?
I'm so scared!

You worry about your build,
and we'll worry about ours.

And now... the moment of truth.

Here goes nothing.

This looks so cool!
We'll win this for sure.

I gotta admit, this Enderman is sweet!

Good call, Jesse.

Guys, people are looking at us.

Good build, man!

What? No way.

It's just a bunch of dyed wool!

Whoops.

[squeals]

[Jesse] Oh, no! Reuben's on fire!

Reuben, no! Come back!

It was Aiden. That punk.

-[Olivia] The lava's getting closer.
-It'll ruin the build.

Reuben's going to get lost.

-You guys stay and save the build.
-[Axel] On it!

[Olivia] We got it covered, Jesse.
Be careful.

[grunts]

We'll meet up with you at EnderCon!

Reuben, where are you?

Just give me an "oink" if you can hear me.

[Petra] Okay, so now you get to choose
where to go.

Go ahead, select a location.

Reuben?

No, not you guys-- Pigs.

All pigs but Reuben, shut up!

[echoing] Reuben?

[screams]

[clucking]

You're going to have
to make a run for it, okay?

-I'll meet you back in town, I promise.
-[squealing]

Get out of here! Now!

[screams, grunts]

Get off me!

Come on, let's get out of the open.

[growling]

I wanna show you something.

Not that this isn't a really cool,
dimly lit tunnel,

but how far away is this thing
you wanna show me?

Careful, Jesse. You don't wanna
get a reputation as a wimp.

This isn't my first time in a cave, Petra.

Yeah, but have you ever seen...
a Wither skull?

-Whoa.
-Fresh from the Nether.

That's insane, Petra.
You could've gotten yourself k*lled.

[chuckles] Don't worry so much.
I can handle myself.

There's this guy I'm meeting up with
at EnderCon.

He's gonna trade me a diamond for it.

Why didn't he just go
get the skull himself?

He's not the kind of guy who has time
to do something like that.

What kind of guy is he, then?

The kind who understands
the value of hard work.

-Wow.
-"Wow" what?

In a single day, you went to the Nether,
you k*lled a Wither skeleton...

I mean, I did build a super-cool statue,
but still.

It's pretty sweet being you, huh?

You know, you could come with me.

I mean, if you're too nervous,
I totally get it.

But I wouldn't mind a little backup.

You want me to come with you?

Consider it my charitable act for the day.

I'll consider it whatever you want me
to consider it, so long as I get to come.

You just keep a crafting table down here?

Comes in handy.

Since that wooden sword
of yours got busted...

-You're giving me a new one?
-Even better. You can make your own.

One stick plus two stones
equals one sword.

Just grab what you need.

Oh. Okay. Thanks.

Hey, is all this stuff yours?

No, we're just stealing from whoever
was dumb enough to leave this here.

-Of course it's mine.
-Just making sure.

Here we go!

Jackpot!

See? Isn't it better
when you make it yourself?

Check it out. EnderCon's all lit up.

I can't believe it. We won!

Good for you, Jesse.

It's about time we beat Lukas
and his g*ng of jerks.

What kind of a stupid name
is the Ocelots anyway?

You know, Lukas may be kind of arrogant,

but he has come through for me
in tricky situations.

You might wanna get to know him,
just in case.

Yeah, you might be right.

I'm just saying if you run into him
at EnderCon, try talking to him.

I don't need a lecture on the power
of collaboration, Petra.

How about a lecture
on the power of my fists?

It's short, but deadly.

Come on, let's hurry.

[Petra] Remember what EnderCon was like
before it was cool?

[Jesse] Remember what we were like
before we were cool?

-[Petra] Some of us will never be cool.
-Ha ha!

Creepers!

[growling]

[Petra] This doesn't look good.

Well, there's only one way
off this bridge.

Whatever we do, we do it together.

Hurry up, Jesse!

All right, let's jump!

[Jesse] Whoo-hoo!

[theme music playing]

[screams]

-It burns, it burns!
-Don't you know?

You dive into the water,
you don't land on top of it.

Pull yourself together and follow me.

Just let me know
if you see Reuben anywhere.

-He's gotta be here somewhere.
-I hope you're right.

So, when we're making the deal,
I need you to let me do the talking, okay?

Should I be nervous about this?

Given your personality,
your life experience,

and everything else you've done
to make it to this moment... yes.

-Jesse!
-And... Petra?

Hey, you all know Petra,
my new super-close friend.

We're super close now.

We ran into each other
while I was looking for Reuben.

Couldn't find him, huh?

He'll turn up sooner or later,
I know just it.

I saw him,
but before I knew what was happening,

we were under attack by a zombie horde.

I told him to run.

It was for his own good.

-Sorry we didn't come with you, Jesse.
-But, hey, we won!

We did okay, didn't we?

I still wish I'd gotten that part
in the back to look better.

[Axel] I could have fit more fireworks
in there somewhere.

-I'm proud of you guys.
-Aww, shucks.

Don't make me blush.

Seriously, don't.

Hey, Jesse, it's time to go see
about that... thing.

-Oh, right. The "thing."
-Subtle.

-Yeah?
-As a punch to the face.

Axel and I were gonna head into EnderCon.
See you in there?

I heard somebody saying there's free cake
by the map booth.

Hurry, we're supposed to meet
in the alley over there.

Dark. Dark.

Very dark in here.

That's weird.

He said the dark, creepy alley
close to the gates, but he's not here.

Maybe he's late.

Are you sure this is
the dark, creepy alley he meant?

Hmm. I was.

Okay, new plan.

You stay here just in case
this is the spot he meant,

and I'll look around.

Okay, I'll hold down the fort.

Thanks, Jesse.
I'll be back before you know it.

If he shows up while I'm gone,
just stall for me.

-[man clears throat]
-[screams]

And just who are you?

I'm waiting.

Answer me!

The name's Jesse.

What's it to you?

I'm supposed to meet with Petra,
not whatever you're supposed to be.

Give me one good reason why I shouldn't
walk out of here right now.

You're the guy who needed
a Wither skull, right?

Not so loud, you idiot!

Too many people know my business already.

-Do you have the skull?
-Uh...

Well, Petra has it
and she'll be back any minute now.

Well, as long as she's bringing it,

I suppose it wouldn't k*ll me
to wait a minute longer.

Uh, well...

-[Petra] Ivor!
-Ah, here she is.

Sorry I'm late,
but good things are worth waiting for.

-I've got what you asked for.
-If you have what you promised us.

You didn't say anything about an "us"
when we first met.

And I don't like surprises.

If these are the sorts of people
you associate with,

perhaps we should call
the whole thing off.

My friend is fine. Right, Jesse?
There's no problem here.

Let's not be too hasty, okay?

This is just, uh,
a little misunderstanding.

I'm cool if he's cool.

It's settled, then. You're both cool.

Proceed, then.

[Petra] I'll take that diamond now.

Take it. You've earned it.

Uh, this isn't a diamond.

No, it's lapis!

I knew we couldn't trust that guy!

We're going after him!

I'm either getting that diamond,
or I'm getting my skull back.

-Or you'll make him pay, right? Right?
-Come on!

Do you see him anywhere?

We lost him.

Then we'll just have to find him again.
Go!

There he is! Gabriel! Gabriel!

-[usher] Step aside, please!
-[woman] I have just one question!

-'Sup?
-'Sup?

Nothing. 'Sup with you?

Nothing. 'Sup with you?

I just said. Nothing.

Hey, uh...

congrats on the win.

I mean, I still think our beacon
was amazing, but...

you guys did a pretty good job, too.

I mean, I thought the whole monster theme
was plenty cool, but fireworks, too?

It was... sort of cool.

You know, that stunt your friend pulled
really hurt my pig.

Okay, maybe,
but I had nothing to do with that.

Hey, you didn't happen to see
a creepy guy with long hair and a beard

roaming around, did you?

I don't think so. Why?

He kinda scammed Petra
out of a diamond earlier.

Oh-h*. Everyone knows
you don't mess with Petra,

not if you know what's good for you.

-I'll keep an eye out, okay?
-Thanks. I appreciate it.

So, uh, we're cool?

Yeah, we're cool.

Cool, cool.

[chuckles]

-See you later, Lukas.
-Yeah, see you.

[clucking]

[Axel] Thought you could wiggle
out of that trap, didn't you?

Well, wiggle as much as you want,
you're not going anywhere.

Axel, listen up. Any chance you've seen
a creepy-looking beardy guy anywhere?

No, but Petra told me what happened.

I'm keeping an eye out for him.

Okay, so I got a little distracted.

It's just this machine
presses all my buttons.

Unnecessarily complicated
and mean to birds for no reason.

Stop messing around.
We need your help.

I was looking, I swear.
I've just got a short attention span.

Have you seen Reuben?

I was hoping he might have made it to town
while I was distracted.

Haven't seen hide nor hair.

But I'm sure he's fine.
He's a tough little ham.

[clucks]

Axel?

All right, all right! I'll look.

After I watch one more chicken get owned.

Ha!

I see you now, weirdo.

Well, if it isn't Team Trashbag!

How's your stupid pig?

Kinda busy right now, man.

What? Busy trying to get a life?

Busy trying to find some friends?

Hey.

-Where do you think--
-What do you think you're doing?

-Oh, I'm sorry.
-Get away from me!

I said I was sorry.

[pig squealing in distance]

Reuben? Is that you?

Nothing sticks to your ribs
quite like a juicy pork chop!

Reuben!

What's the big idea?
I'm trying to run a business here.

That's my pig! You kidnapped my pig!

Well, I don't know
what you're talking about, chief.

I found this pig wandering alone
in the streets.

Please. He's my friend.

To me, he's inventory.

I might be amenable to some kind of trade.

Not that you look like
you got much of value. [chuckles]

I gotta get some kind of return
on my investment.

Otherwise, it's straight
to the slaughterhouse for this one.

Give me back my pig.

All right, you little maniac, fine.
Take him, he's yours.

Come on, Reuben.

[snorts]

I'm sorry, Reuben. I never should have
let you run off in the woods.

[snorting continues]

Remember that thing
I had to go do with Petra?

Long story short, we met up with this guy,

he cheated me and Petra on a deal,
and now we're trying to track him down.

-You in?
-Oh, I'm in, all right.

Any sign of him?

I thought I saw him earlier,
but it was just a false alarm.

Wait! There he is!
Looks like he's heading towards the hall.

We have to get past that usher
to follow him.

Let's go!

So, yeah, hey.

What would it take
to get us inside tonight?

Uh, tickets. [laughs]

This might sound crazy, but we're
actually on an important mission.

I hope your mission came with tickets
to the show 'cause, I mean, otherwise...

-[clucking]
-Chicken!

Chicken, chicken, chicken!

It's gone. You're totally fine.
You're a totally cool dude.

We have to do something.

Like what?
This show has been sold out for ages.

We need a distraction.

A lot of chickens running around
might be a distraction.

Shoo, shoo!

-Get outta here!
-The usher is afraid of chickens.

What would you say if I told you
I wanna break this guy's chicken machine

to create the mother of all distractions?

But you have to break that pane of glass.
How are you gonna reach it?

Let's look around.
There has to be something we can do.

Hey! What are you doing?

Sorry, sorry! Just your regular,
everyday chicken enthusiast here.

Don't make me call security.

I need to reach that window,
but the fence is in the way.

And I don't think I can mess up
the fence if he's around.

I don't have enough slime to use this.

I wouldn't mind a little payback.

He deserves it for crossing Petra.

Ready?

Ready.

[Reuben grunting]

[Reuben grunts]

See anything?

He must have gone out another way.

-What is all this?
-Looks like it used to be the basement.

Weird place to have a hideout.

I bet you anything
I'll find my Wither skull here.

And if we find anything else cool
to steal along the way, so be it, right?

Axel, that's not what we're here to do.

I did say we wanted payback.

No better payback
than thieving from a thief, right?

Let's focus on finding the skull,
not stealing.

Nobody ever lets me have any fun.

We let you hang out with us.

The faster we find what we're looking for,

the faster we can get
the heck out of here.

[chest creaks]

Oh, hello.

Too heavy and too soft.

But super flashy.

You're keeping it?

But I thought it was "too soft...
[in deep voice] too heavy."

Eh. It still might come in handy.
And it is super flashy.

Hey, you still have
that one stone sword, right?

No. I had to give it
to some jerkwad butcher

to save Reuben's life.

Jeez.

Oh, well, I guess
that was pretty good cause.

Here.

Thanks... again.

You're welcome. Don't lose that one.

Find anything?

I wanna steal that and that.

I just wanna touch that.

Ooh. Take a look at this.

You're not gonna believe me,
but I swear I had a dream about this.

Okay, potion,
I know this is a big step, but...

I would be honored
if you'd come home with me.

-It's yours if you want it that bad.
-I've never wanted anything badder.

There's no way he won't notice
his fancy potion is missing.

A good thief always covers his tracks.

-Fixed it.
-Oh, yeah, the perfect crime.

[sniffing]

Hey, Reuben. Find any clues?

-[Reuben grunts]
-What is it, buddy?

-You smell something?
-[squealing]

Something over there?

Good work, Reuben.

[Jesse] What is all this stuff?

-[Petra] Soul Sand.
-[Reuben squeals]

-It was everywhere in the Nether.
-What about that block in the middle?

I've never seen one of these before.

I wonder if I just take a closer look.

-Don't touch that, Olivia!
-I was just curious.

Don't forget what we're here for.
Find that skull.

So, good news, weird news.

-I found the skull, but...
-[Reuben grunting]

Why'd I risk my neck for that skull
if he's got two of them already?

Maybe Ivor's some kind of collector.

A trophy hunter?

Or he could be collecting them
to make a bunch of banners.

I think I know what's going on here.

Soul Sand plus three Wither skulls...

that's the recipe for a Wither.

But a Wither, that's--

One of the worst monsters there is.

We came down here to find the skull.

Well, we found it.

Maybe we should grab it
and get out of here while we still can.

[door opens]

[door closes]

-Uh, guys?
-[whispers] Scatter.

[door buzzing]

"Don't you recognize me?"

Or wait...

"Surprised to see me?"

No, that's not good.

"Thought you were rid of me, didn't you?"

That's better.

-[bottle clinking]
-What was that?

Who's there?

-[gasps]
-[Ivor grunts]

-Ugh!
-What are you doing here?

-What did you see?
-Leave her alone.

Yeah. Back off, pal.

-[Ivor grunts]
-[Olivia groans]

You two!

Did you follow me here?

Thought you'd get away with it,
didn't you?

We're here to prove you wrong.

What are you going to do about it?

We know what you're doing down here.

Soul Sand and three Wither skulls?

You're building a Wither.

Huh. Smarter than you look.

Hey, nobody talks to my friends like that.

Now shut your mouth... or else.

Enough! You've wasted
too much of my time already.

Where'd he go?

If you won't leave of your own volition,
I'll happily remove you myself.

-[growls]
-Show our friends the door, will you?

[Reuben squeals]

[Olivia screams]

[Reuben squealing]

[Wither roaring]

-[Lydia] Oh, man, this is so exciting!
-[Owen] It sure is!

And now, for the first time ever
here at EnderCon,

we are very proud to present...

The one, the only...

-Gabriel!
-Gabriel!

[audience cheering]

Gabriel!

-Please. Please.
-[woman] We love you!

Thank you.

Are you with me?

[audience cheering]

[indistinct chattering]

Everybody okay?

Um, guys...

-Where's Lukas?
-I thought he was right behind me.

Well, if he's not here,
the only place he could be is...

[Jesse] He's still down there.

Ivor's got an iron golem

and all the ingredients
to build a Wither down there.

-If he were to unleash it in this crowd...
-[audience cheering]

We have to act fast.

It just so happens
that the greatest warrior of all time

is in the building.

We should ask Gabriel for help.

-This is the smartest way to help Lukas.
-He's tough.

I just hope he's tough enough
to hold out a bit longer.

[Gabriel] ...exploits
of the Order of the Stone than even I do.

But then,
it's so easy to doubt ourselves, isn't it?

It's easy to tell ourselves
we can't do the things we wanna do.

-[Gabriel] We can't be...
-I'm going after Lukas by myself.

By yourself? Are you sure, Jesse?

[Gabriel] You can.

Yeah.

-The rest of you, go get Gabriel.
-We're on it, Jesse.

We'll figure way to warn Gabriel
then we'll meet you back here.

Let's crash this party.

Be back as soon as I can.

Be careful.

[Gabriel] With training and guidance,

anyone, and I mean anyone,
can become a hero.

[Reuben grunting]

-[Gabriel] You just have to believe it.
-Here goes nothing.

[door closes]

[Reuben squeals]

[gasps]

[whispers] Lukas?

Can you hear me...

even though I'm whispering?

[Lukas whispers] Jesse?

-Is that you whispering super loudly?
-Lukas.

Over here.

[roaring]

[Lukas] Hey!

[Jesse whispers] You okay?

[Lukas] Uh... I've been worse.

Well, I can't say this is the best spot
I've ever been in.

Any bright ideas?

Just... run.

Run where?

You don't think I tried that already?

Ha!

-[shatters]
-[growls]

[in normal voice] Now, Lukas! Run!

[monster growling]

[gasps]

[Reuben squeals]

Nice one, Reuben.

Okay, Jesse, come on. Let's go.

Thanks for coming back for me.

-I didn't know if anybody was going to.
-"No man left behind," that's my motto.

Guess I owe you one.

Where are the others?

[Axel] Dude, I don't know
how I can be any clearer.

Weird guy doing weird stuff.

Freaky with a side of strange.

Why won't you listen to me? What do you
want me to do? Tell you charades-style?

I promise you,
that's the last thing I want you to do.

Four words, six syllables,

sounds like
"schmonster in the schmasement."

-Next.
-Wait, just--

[Ivor] I have a question for you.

[Gabriel] Excuse me, sir,
you'll have to wait your turn.

[Ivor] Just tell me first.

Do you really believe anyone can be great?

With enough hard work, yes.

Was that where I went wrong?
I simply didn't work hard enough?

Ivor?

That's the guy who attacked us
in the basement.

I wish I could say I was surprised.

If it's surprises you want,
you're in for a treat.

Why don't you tell them the real story,
Gabriel?

I see time has made you bitter.

And it's made you an even bigger fool.

Now, these people were promised greatness,
and I'm ready to deliver.

I'm sorry this is how
they had to learn the truth.

Gabriel, you have to stop him!

[Ivor]
Nothing built can last forever, Gabriel.

Ivor, no!

[Gabriel grunts]

Creature, attack!

-[whirring]
-[people screaming]

-[screams]
-[Reuben squeals]

-[panting]
-[grunting]

Everyone, stay calm.
This foul beast is no match for me.

Creature, attack!

Hyah! [thuds, grunts]

What have you done?

-[Jesse] Gabriel!
-No, stay away!

It's after me, not you.

Look at him. The mighty Gabriel.

Looks like true greatness
is out of his reach.

He may not be able
to defeat this creature, but I can.

Creature, retreat!

[grumbling]

[clears throat] Creature, retreat!

Retreat, I said!

Retreat!

He's lost control of it!

Oh, no need to be alarmed, my friends.

I have an elixir
that will destroy this creature.

That potion, is that...?

[grunts]

Uh-oh.

-Ah!
-[glass breaking]

[growls]

Uh... what?

Impossible. It should have worked.

I took such care.

The potion.
Axel, you've gotta throw the real potion.

-But finders keepers.
-You thieves! You're ruining everything!

[Olivia] Axel, come on!

Jesse, throw it!

[crashes]

[Ivor] It's protecting itself.

Without the command block exposed,
the potion is useless.

It wasn't supposed to happen like this!

Ivor! You coward, come back here!

Jesse, help me!

Thank you. Ivor was right about one thing.

I can't defeat that thing, not on my own.

Everyone's running away except for you.

-Will you help me?
-Of course.

Follow me!

-[footsteps approaching]
-[people screaming]

Out of my way, chickens!

[Wither Storm growling]

[Reuben squealing]

Ugh!

[Jesse] Wait!

Hey! I'm up here! Somebody, help me!

Guys!

[grunts]

Lukas!

You guys left me down there. Abandoned me!

No. We were trying to warn Gabriel
and get him to help.

-Jesse!
-[Reuben squeaks]

Wait, wait! We have to stay together.

Jesse, help me! [screams]

[Jesse grunts]

I can't hold on.

[screaming]

[Gabriel grunts]

[people screaming]

Do we still have everyone?

We must set out for my fortress.
We'll be better protected there.

Thanks for that just now.

Yeah. Well, now we're even, right?

[Petra] Incoming!

This way!

Hurry! Inside the temple!

The inner chamber
is built entirely of obsidian.

We should be untouchable in there.

-[screaming]
-[Reuben squealing]

Hurry. If you can get through the portal,
you'll be safe.

-Uh, something's not right here.
-It's not lit.

-Let's get out of here.
-Everyone, get in, now!

-[Reuben squealing]
-[Gabriel screams]

Gabriel!

-[grunts]
-[Gabriel grunting]

[screaming]

[groans] Thank you.

There are so many of them.
I-I can't save them all.

I can't stop this by myself.
We need to find the others.

-Others?
-Soren's been missing for years.

But the others, you must seek them out.

Take this amulet
and guard it with your life.

You can do this.

You must.

What? Why me?

I believe in you.

Take the amulet.

-Take it through the portal, and then--
-[ground rumbling]

[Jesse screams]

[grunts]

-[Wither Storm growls]
-[groans]

[grunts]

You two, go through the portal
and meet up with the others.

I'll stay here and do what I can.

-I'm coming with you.
-No, you're not.

The g*ng needs you, Jesse.
Go through the portal.

If anything happens,
I'll meet you guys at the temple.

[gasps]

Oh, no!

Can't get away from it!

Jesse, do something!

Somebody, help!

-[Gabriel groans]
-[grunts]

Thank you, Jesse.
Now get through the portal.

Jesse! [screaming]

Hold on, Petra! I'm coming for you!

-[screams]
-[Lukas groans]

[Wither Storm growling]

[both grunt]

[Jesse panting]

Where's Petra?

We did everything we could.

-What are you saying?
-It was chaos.

-Wasn't much I could do.
-Jesse's right.

-Petra is still up there.
-I got scared, just for a second.

You got scared?

It wasn't my fault.

You got scared and it's not your fault?

Back off, Axel.

We gotta go back.

She just needs more time.

Petra needs our help. We're going.

Hey, there she is!

Come on. Come on!

[grunts]

You again.

[screaming, grunting]

[grunts]

[exhales]

Ivor.

You ruined everything.

You can't blame us.

-Your plan, your monster, your fault.
-[Ivor] Maybe.

But if you hadn't stolen from me,
I would have destroyed it.

And all of those people
would have been saved.

There's nothing left up there.
Nothing but that Wither Storm.

Why are we wasting time
talking to this jerk?

-We have to go and get Petra.
-The girl.

-I saw her.
-What?

While I was running toward the portal,
I passed her.

She was running in the opposite direction.

Such bravery.

Of course, there's a fine line
between bravery and stupidity.

And your friend has crossed it.

I'm saying she's stupid.

Our friend is in trouble because of you.

We're trapped in the Nether
because of you.

You have much bigger problems
to contend with.

Through that tunnel
is a network of mine carts

built by the Order of the Stone.

It's your only way out.

I don't like this, but he might be right.

Bravo for embracing the truth.

[Ghasts howling]

What was that?

I would wish you good luck,

but luck won't carry you
through the Nether.

You have my sympathies.

[slurps]

[clatters]

[howls]

Ah!

[shrieks]

-Let's get out of here!
-Run!

[Olivia screaming]

This must be what Ivor was talking about.

[Ghast howling]

-Everybody, hold on!
-[shrieks]

[Lukas] Wow.

The Nether.

Yeah, that is a lot of lava.

And fire, and other things
that could burn you to death.

-[Reuben squeals]
-Oh, no!

[Lukas] Oh, that's a drop.

-That is very, very much a drop.
-Oh...

What are you talking about, new guy?
What dro-- Oh, you weren't kidding!

Everybody, hold on!

[grunting]

Oh, no.

[Lukas] Duck!

[Olivia] Watch it!

Okay, so I'm not the only one seeing
that we're running out of track, right?

-[Lukas] No!
-[Axel] Good.

Jesse, that switch! Now, do it!

Arms, don't fail me now.

Yeah!

[Jesse laughs] Wow.

I thought something bad
was going to happen there,

but, hey, I guess everything's gonna be--

Whoa!

-[Olivia] Jesse!
-[Axel] No!

-Wait!
-Oh, man!

Uh, Axel? Olivia? Reuben?

Anybody?

[Reuben grunting]

-[squeals]
-Hang on, Reuben!

-[squeals]
-Reuben!

Okay, Reuben,

remember when I said everything
was going to be just fine before?

I know I was wrong then,
but I have a very good feeling about--

Whoa!

[Jesse] Duck!

[shrieks]

[Reuben squealing]

Well, Ghasts are officially crossed off
my to-see list.

Done with the Ghasts.
Never need to see them.

Are you freaking kidding me with this?

This is bad, this is bad!

This is bad!

[slo-mo shriek]

[grunting]

Is...

Is everyone okay?

[sighs] I mean, I'm not dead.

-I guess that's pretty good.
-Ditto. Ditto with the not dead.

I just can't believe
Petra comes down here all the time.

This place is awful.

[chuckles]
Your throat's gonna be sore later, Axel.

-[Axel] Why?
-I'm just saying.

Wasn't that you doing
all that screaming before?

Sounded like you were
shredding your larynx.

[Olivia] Oh, yeah.

I heard that, too.

Really high-pitched?
Kind of like a squeaky piston?

What? No. Shut up.

Never mind. Must have... [chuckles]
Must have been something else.

Hey, speak for yourselves,
you fraidy-cats.

Reuben and I handled ourselves just fine.

Isn't that right, Reuben?

[grunting]

What? No.

You screamed like a... piglet,

is who did the piglet-like
[clears throat] screaming.

[grumbling]

[Jesse]
Can you throw up, like, inside your body?

[Olivia] Uh-huh.

I know because I just did...
about five times.

[Jesse] Wow.

Look at this place!

All these tracks converge at this point.

You could probably get anywhere
in the world from here.

There's the portal!

This is what Gabriel was talking about.

That's our way out.

It must lead back to the surface.

The surface
is also where that creature is.

He's right.
We have no idea what we're walking into.

It could be dangerous.

Thanks for being so brave, Axel.

All right, I'm gonna go.

I'm going. I'm going right now.

Like, right, right now.

I just need to make sure
I have everything I'll need.

I think I put the, uh, thing
over in the, um...

You can do it, Axel.

That's right, I can do it.

Whatever's on the other side
has no idea what it's got coming.

All right, here I go. Thanks, Jesse.

-I'm right behind you.
-Be safe up there, Axel.

Ready or not, here I come.

[Reuben whimpers]

[zombie growling]

Ah!

-[gasps]
-[Axel] Get off of me!

[Jesse grunts]

[zombie growling]

Oh, man. That was close.

I'm never going first again.

[Olivia] Where are we?

In the dark, in the middle of nowhere.

[Lukas] Maybe we should bed down
for the night.

It's dangerous to be out
when it's this dark.

-Thought we were headed toward a temple.
-We're looking for a giant building.

-It should be pretty obvious.
-Ivor said--

Oh, "Ivor said."
Well, then maybe this is the temple.

Take it easy, Axel.

-He called me stupid.
-No, I didn't.

-But you wanted to.
-No, I didn't.

Huh? Did you say something?

We have to build a shelter.

I thought that was what I said, but, uh...

Yup, that's totally--

[sighs] It's getting dark and stuff.

I say we build a tree house.

That'll take forever
and we'll be exposed while we do it.

We just need a quick and dirty hut.

Look, whatever it is, we gotta do it fast.

What?

In a hut, we won't know what's coming
until it's knocking on our door.

A tree house is gonna be spider town.
I hate spiders.

[crickets chirping]

Let's build a hut. It won't take as long.

-It's not--
-That's it, Olivia.

Jesse made the call.

We should get started.

All that work, and we're still eye level
with monsters that are trying to k*ll us.

It's done. It's over.
We aren't talking about it anymore.

We could have maybe done
like a multi-level thing,

but... [inhales] it's too late now.

I mean, it's... it's cool.

[crackling]

-[Axel] Oh, man!
-What?

I'm going to tell you something.
You have to promise not to freak out.

What is it?

I have cookies.

One for me.

One for Olivia.

One for Jesse.

Thanks, Axel.

And one for Reuben.

[grunting]

Sorry, Lukas, I only have four.

Oh, no, it's all right.
I'm not that hungry anyway.

I'll just grab something in the morning
or something.

Take it, Lukas.

[chuckles] No, no.
I... I can't do that.

I insist.

Thank you, Jesse.

[munching]

That was for you, Jesse, not him.

If you had to,
which would you rather fight,

a hundred chicken-sized zombies
or ten zombie-sized chickens?

Choose wisely.

[laughs] Uh...

That's a good one. Let me think.

How can you guys joke at a time like this?
Petra is still out there.

Petra wouldn't mind at all.
She'd want us to keep our spirits up.

If I were her, I'd--

I don't know. It feels wrong.

Fine. Then, uh, we should get some rest.

We gotta start looking for this temple
as early as we can.

Now, my guess is if we start
at the portal and kind of split up--

Whoa, what are you doing?

He's just trying to help.

-See?
-I'm sorry, Jesse.

I'm not gonna sit here and listen
to this guy telling us what's what.

I'm trying to get ready for tomorrow.

You're the only one wearing
that stupid jacket.

Don't tell us what to do.

Take that back.

Can't. Wouldn't.

You know what? I get to wear this jacket
because I know how to build.

Doesn't mean
I don't know how to break things.

Your threats don't scare me
now that we know how you really are.

-Jesse, your friend is way out of line.
-Let's just drop it.

Don't be like that, Jesse.

Just drop it.

Haven't you done enough damage
for one day?

Petra might be dead because of you.

-You're taking this too far, Axel.
-I don't have to take this.

Listen, why don't I just leave
and let you guys hash this out?

You can't leave.
It's dangerous out there.

I can take care of myself.
It's what Axel wants, right?

Let him leave if he wants to leave.

You're not going anywhere.

-But, Jesse--
-That's enough.

We're all on the same team now.

He's staying.

Zombie-sized chickens.

-That's what I would fight.
-Why is that?

Because I'm starving.

[thunder rumbling]

-Thanks for keeping me around, Jesse.
-Yeah.

Sorry about all that business last night.

Honestly, I'm just--

I'm more embarrassed than anything else.

See anything?

Hey! There's something over that way.

-What is it?
-Some kind of building, I think.

Let's get a closer look.

What are we waiting for?
Let's go.

[Reuben squealing]

-What is this place?
-That's what we're trying to figure out.

[Lukas] It's the Temple
of the Order of the Stone.

Lukas, are you sure?

[Jesse] He's right! Look!

-[Olivia] Do you think they're in there?
-[Axel] Let's go in and find out.

-[Jesse] Let's just all be careful.
-Okay.

If you spot anything, call it out.
We don't have a lot of time.

Isn't it weird how dispensers are carved
to look like spooky little faces?

-[Reuben squeals]
-What do you dispense, little guy?

I get the feeling
that we don't really wanna find out.

-[whirring]
-Get behind me.

[crashing]

[Reuben squealing]

-[Lukas] What was that?
-[Axel] That's probably not a good thing.

Oh, come on, dispenser faces.
I thought we were friends.

-[Jesse] Run!
-[Reuben squeals]

[panting]

Ah!

We're trapped!

We activated the dispensers
with that pressure plate.

If we can figure a way to trigger it
again, bet that'll shut them off.

There's a crafting table.
Maybe we can make something useful.

Out of what?
We don't have anything.

All of our tools and materials
are back home.

All right, everyone, empty your pockets.
Let's see what we've got to work with.

I have sticks left over
from building the shelter last night.

I've got some flint and a piece of string.

All I have are some chicken feathers
I picked up

after that chicken machine exploded.

Let's see,
I've got some flint and steel, a sword...

and some string from a spider
I fought in the woods earlier.

[Olivia] String, sticks,
flint and feathers.

Let's do this.

[clanks]

-All right!
-Good job, Jesse!

[Lukas] This must be
their enchantment room.

Doesn't this look like
Ivor's creepy basement?

Find anything useful?

Not sure about useful,
but definitely interesting.

There is a lot of history in this room.

"The battle was fierce,

but the Order of the Stone
emerged triumphant,

saving the land and ensuring that peace
and prosperity would reign forever."

Well, not exactly forever.

-"These five members..."
-[narrator] ...five members, five friends,

together, would give so much
to gain their rightful place

-as five heroes.
-[Jesse] "...as five heroes.

They would author their own end.

They would slay a dragon."

Ivor was a member
of the Order of the Stone?

-The stories never mentioned him.
-This is so crazy.

This might explain why Ivor
had such a grudge against Gabriel.

They lied to us!
They lied to the whole world.

Why would they do this?

This is so crazy.

The Order might not be
what we thought they were,

but Petra is still out there.

-That monster is still out there.
-Jesse's right.

We need to focus
on what we came here to do.

Where do these stairs go?

Only one way to find out.

[Axel] Now this is cool.

[Jesse] Wow.

What happened to the walls?

More like,
what happened to this whole place?

This must have been where they met.

So, where are they, then?

Gabriel said that once we find the temple,

the amulet would lead us
to the Order of the Stone.

Well, what are you waiting for?
Pull it out, then.

Is something supposed to happen?

Well, that was a letdown.

There's gotta be something missing.

Look around and see
if you can find anything.

Find anything interesting in that book?

The only thing I found so far
is that the amulet was used to track

the positions of the members of the Order.

And does it mention how?

It's less technical and,
well, more historical.

-What you looking at?
-Nothing. Whatever.

Axel?

I was just trying to figure out
where Petra might be.

I mean, I know she's gonna be fine,
but I was just curious.

We're gonna find her.

We're in the Temple
of the Order of the Stone.

The Order's actual temple!

Who'd have thought it, huh?

A bunch of small-towners like us
wrapped up in an adventure like this.

Yeah. Pretty insane.

I just hope we all come out
the other side in one piece.

Get ready to roll, Axel.
We're gonna go find Magnus.

Let's do this.

Olivia, you stay here with Lukas

and get the place ready
for when Petra comes back, okay?

[scoffs] Fine.
But I'm only doing this for Petra.

I'll take it.

Uh, guys?

[Lukas] Please hurry.

What's in it for me?

Respect, admiration,

not getting punched in the face
for saying that just now.

You just keep a crafting table down here?

Comes in handy.

Since that wooden sword of yours
got busted...

-You're giving me a new one?
-Even better. You can make your own.

One stick plus two stones
equals one sword.

Just grab what you need.

Oh, okay. Thanks.

Hey, is all this stuff yours?

No. We're just stealing from whoever
was dumb enough to leave this here.

-Of course it's mine.
-Just making sure.

Here we go!

Jackpot!

What's in it for me?

Jackpot!

Jesse, a lever's not gonna do you
much good in a fight, is it?

[objects rattling]

See? Isn't it better
when you make it yourself?

Check it out. EnderCon's all lit up.

[Jesse] I can't believe it. We won!

Good for you, Jesse.

It's about time we beat Lukas
and his g*ng of jerks.

What kind of a stupid name
is the Ocelots anyway?

You know, Lukas may be kind of arrogant,

but he has come through for me
in tricky situations.

You might wanna get to know him,
just in case.

Yeah, you might be right.

I'm just saying if you run into him
at EnderCon, try talking to him.

I don't need a lecture
on the power of collaboration, Petra.

How about a lecture
on the power of my fists?

It's short, but deadly.

Come on, let's hurry.

[Petra] Remember what EnderCon was like
before it was cool?

[Jesse] Remember what we were like
before we were cool?

-[Petra] Some of us will never be cool.
-Ha ha.

[hissing]

Creepers!

[zombies growling]

[Petra] This doesn't look good.

[Petra] Well, there's only one way
off this bridge.

Whatever we do, we do it together.

Hurry up, Jesse!

Jesse, a lever's not gonna do you
much good in a fight, is it?

[gasps]

Hurry up, Jesse!

The only way off this bridge
is through them.

[grunting]

There's too many of them!

I don't wanna die!

[theme music playing]

[screaming]

-It burns! It burns!
-Don't you know?

You dive into the water,
you don't land on top of it.

Pull yourself together and follow me.

[dance music playing]

[chickens clucking]

[indistinct chattering]

Just let me know
if you see Reuben anywhere.

-He's gotta be here somewhere.
-I hope you're right.

So, when we're making the deal,
I need you to let me do the talking, okay?

Should I be nervous about this?

Given your personality,
your life experience,

and everything else you've done
to make it to this moment... yes.

[Axel] Jesse.

And... Petra?

Hey. You all know Petra,
my new super-close friend.

We're super close now.

We ran into each other
while I was looking for Reuben.

Couldn't find him, huh?

He'll turn up sooner or later.
I just know it.

I saw him.

But before I knew what was happening,
we were under attack by a zombie horde.

I told him to run.

It was for his own good.

-Sorry we didn't come with you, Jesse.
-But, hey, we won!

We did okay, didn't we?

I still wish I'd gotten that part
in the back to look better.

[Axel] I could've fit more fireworks
in there somewhere.

[Axel] Jesse.

And... Petra?

Hey. You all know Petra,
my new super-close friend.

We're super close now.

We ran into each other
while I was looking for Reuben.

-What were you doing in the woods, Petra?
-Nothing.

Just drawn by the sound
of Jesse's high-pitched screams.

I would have been spider bait
if she hadn't have found me.

-Sorry we didn't come with you, Jesse.
-But, hey, we won!

We did okay, didn't we?

I still wish I'd gotten that part
in the back to look better.

[Axel] I could've fit more fireworks
in there somewhere.

We deserve a victory party.

-Who's in?
-I like all kinds of parties,

but especially ones
where I get to celebrate winning.

About time I'll be the guest of honor
at something.

Hey, Jesse, it's time to go see
about that... thing.

-Oh, right. The "thing."
-Subtle.

-Yeah?
-As a punch to the face.

Axel and I were gonna head into EnderCon.
See you in there?

I heard somebody saying
there's free cake by the map booth.

Hurry, we're supposed to meet
in the alley over there.

Dark. Dark. Very dark in here.

That's weird.

He said the dark,
creepy alley close to the gates,

but... he's not here.

Maybe he's late.

Are you sure this is
the dark, creepy alley he meant?

Hmm. I was.

Okay, new plan.

You stay here just in case
this is the spot he meant,

and I'll look around.

Okay, I'll hold down the fort.

Thanks, Jesse.
I'll be back before you know it.

If he shows up while I'm gone,
just stall for me.

-[man clears throat]
-[Jesse screams]

And just who are you?

I'm waiting.

Answer me.

We deserve a victory party.

-Who's in?
-I like all kinds of parties,

but especially ones
where I get to celebrate winning.

About time I'll be the guest of honor
at something.

-[man clears throat]
-[Jesse screams]

And just who are you?

[Reuben squealing]

I'm waiting.

Answer me.

No. Who are you?

If you belonged here, you would know.

Unless that's all part of the plan.

I'm supposed to meet with Petra,
not whatever you're supposed to be.

Give me one good reason why I shouldn't
walk out of here right now.

You're the guy
who needed a Wither skull, right?

Not so loud, you idiot!

Too many people know my business already.

-Do you have the skull?
-Uh...

Well, Petra has it,
and she'll be back any minute now.

Well, as long as she's bringing it,

I suppose it wouldn't k*ll me
to wait a minute longer.

Uh... well...

-[Petra] Ivor.
-Ah! Here she is.

Sorry I'm late,
but good things are worth waiting for.

-I've got what you asked for.
-If you have what you promised us.

You didn't say anything about an "us"
when we first met.

And I don't like surprises.

If these are the sorts of people
you associate with,

perhaps we should call
the whole thing off.

My friend is fine. Right, Jesse?
There's no problem here.

Let's not be too hasty, okay?

This is just, uh,
a little misunderstanding.

No. Who are you?

If you belonged here, you would know.

Unless that's all part of the plan.

I'm supposed to meet with Petra,
not whatever you're supposed to be.

Give me one good reason why I shouldn't

My friend is fine. Right, Jesse?
There's no problem here.

Let's not be too hasty, okay?

This is just, uh,
a little misunderstanding.

Maybe we should rethink the whole thing.

This guy gives me a bad feeling.

I'll give you a bad feeling
if you ruin this for me.

Proceed, then.

[Petra] I'll take that diamond now.

Take it. You've earned it.

Uh... this isn't a diamond.

No, it's lapis.

I knew we couldn't trust that guy.

We're going after him.

I'm either getting that diamond
or I'm getting my skull back.

Or you'll make him pay.
Right? Right?

Come on.

Do you see him anywhere?

We lost him.

Then we'll just have to find him again.
Go.

There he is! Gabriel! Gabriel!

-[usher] Step aside, please.
-[woman] I have just one question!

-'Sup?
-'Sup?

Nothing. 'Sup with you?

Nothing. 'Sup with you?

I just said. Nothing.

Hey, uh...

congrats on the win.

I mean, I still think our beacon
was amazing, but...

you guys did a pretty good job, too.

I mean, I thought the whole monster theme
was plenty cool, but fireworks, too?

It was...

sort of cool.

Maybe we should rethink the whole thing.

This guy gives me a bad feeling.

I'll give you a bad feeling
if you ruin this for me.

Proceed, then.

[Petra] I'll take that diamond now.

Take it. You've earned it.

Uh... this isn't a diamond.

No, it's lapis.

you guys did a pretty good job, too.

I mean, I thought the whole monster theme
was plenty cool, but fireworks, too?

It was...

sort of cool.

Your beacon wasn't too shabby.

You don't have to do that, okay?
You guys won fair and square.

Hey, you didn't happen to see
a creepy guy with long hair and a beard

roaming around, did you?

I don't think so. Why?

He kinda scammed Petra
out of a diamond earlier.

Oh-h*.

Everyone knows you don't mess with Petra,
not if you know what's good for you.

-I'll keep an eye out, okay?
-Thanks. I appreciate it.

So, uh, we're cool?

Yeah, we're cool.

Cool, cool.

Ha!

-See you later, Lukas.
-Yeah, see you.

[chickens clucking]

[Axel] Thought you could wiggle
out of that trap, didn't you?

Well, wiggle as much as you want,
you're not going anywhere.

Axel, listen up. Any chance you've seen
a creepy-looking beardy guy anywhere?

No, but Petra told me what happened.

I'm keeping an eye out for him.

Okay, so I got a little distracted.

It's just this machine presses
all my buttons.

Unnecessarily complicated
and mean to birds for no reason.

Stop messing around.
We need your help.

I was looking, I swear.
I've just got a short attention span.

Have you seen Reuben?

I was hoping he might have made it to town
while I was distracted.

Haven't seen hide nor hair.

But I'm sure he's fine.
He's a tough little ham.

[chicken clucking]

Axel.

All right, all right. I'll look.

After I watch one more chicken get owned.

Ha!

I see you now, weirdo.

Well, if it isn't Team Trashbag.

How's your stupid pig?

Kinda busy right now, man.

What? Busy trying to get a life?

Busy trying to find some friends?

Hey.

-Where do you think you're--
-What do you think you're doing?

-Oh, I'm sorry.
-Get away from me!

I said I was sorry.

[pig squealing]

Reuben, is that you?

Nothing sticks to your ribs
quite like a juicy pork chop.

-Reuben!
-[squeals]

What's the big idea?
I'm trying to run a business here.

That's my pig.
You kidnapped my pig!

Well, I don't know
what you're talking about, chief.

I found this pig wandering alone
in the streets.

Please? He's my friend.

To me, he's inventory.

I might be amenable to some kind of trade.

Not that you look like
you got much of value. [chuckles]

I gotta get some kind of return
on my investment.

Otherwise, it's straight
to the slaughterhouse for this one.

Your beacon wasn't too shabby.

You don't have to do that, okay?
You guys won fair and square.

All I've got is this sword.

Ooh, that's very nice.

With this, I could cut
my butchering time in half.

[squeals]

Nice doing business with you.

Come on, Reuben.

[snorting]

I'm sorry, Reuben.

I never should have let you
run off in the woods.

[snorting]

Remember that thing
I had to go do with Petra?

Long story short, we met up with this guy,

he cheated me and Petra on a deal,
and now we're trying to track him down.

-You in?
-Oh, I'm in, all right.

[Petra] Any sign of him?

I thought I saw him earlier,
but it was just a false alarm.

Wait! There he is!
Looks like he's heading towards the hall.

We have to get past that usher
to follow him.

Let's go!

So, yeah, hey.

What would it take
to get us inside tonight?

Uh, tickets. [laughs]

This might sound crazy,
but we're on an important mission.

I hope your mission came with tickets
to the show 'cause, I mean, otherwise...

-[clucking]
-Chicken!

Chicken, chicken, chicken!

It's gone. You're totally fine.
You're a totally cool dude.

We have to do something.

Like what?
This show has been sold out for ages.

We need a distraction.

A lot of chickens running around
might be a distraction.

Shoo! Shoo!

-Get out of here!
-The usher is afraid of chickens.

What would you say if I told you
I wanna break this guy's chicken machine

to create the mother of all distractions?

But you have to break that pane of glass.
How are you gonna reach it?

Let's look around.
There has to be something we can do.

All I've got is this sword.

Ooh, that's very nice.

With this, I could cut
my butchering time in half.

[squeals]

Nice doing business with you.

Come on, Reuben.

[snorting]

I'm sorry, Reuben.

I was so busy trying to find
that creepy dude, I didn't notice.

[snorting]

Remember that thing
I had to go do with Petra?

Long story short, we met up with this guy,

he cheated me and Petra on a deal,
and now we're trying to track him down.

Let's look around.
There has to be something we can do.

[whispers] Just sit tight, Lukas.
I'll get you out.

[whispering]
You came back just to tell me that?

It's part of the plan.

[Lukas] "Stay exactly where you are"
is a plan?

[Wither growls]

-Ha!
-[growling]

Now, Lukas! Run!

[Wither growling]

[gasps]

[Reuben squealing]

Nice one, Reuben.

[Lukas] Okay, Jesse, come on.
Let's go.

Thanks for coming back for me.

-I didn't know if anybody was going to.
-"No man left behind," that's my motto.

Guess I owe you one.

Where are the others?

[Axel] Dude, I don't know
how I can be any clearer.

Weird guy doing weird stuff.

Freaky with a side of strange.

Why won't you listen to me?

What do you want me to do?
Tell you charades-style?

I promise you,
that's the last thing I want you to do.

Four words, six syllables,

sounds like
"schmonster in the schmasement."

-Next.
-Wait, just--

[Ivor] I have a question for you.

[Gabriel] Excuse me, sir,
you'll have to wait your turn.

[Ivor] Just tell me first.
Do you really believe anyone can be great?

With enough hard work, yes.

Was that where I went wrong?
I simply didn't work hard enough?

Ivor?

That's the guy who attacked us
in the basement.

I wish I could say I was surprised.

If it's surprises you want,
you're in for a treat.

Why don't you tell them
the real story, Gabriel?

I see time has made you bitter.

And it's made you an even bigger fool.

Now, these people were promised greatness,
and I'm ready to deliver.

I'm sorry this is how
they had to learn the truth.

This can't be good!

[Ivor] Nothing built
can last forever, Gabriel.

[Gabriel] Ivor, no!

[Gabriel grunts]

Creature, attack!

[people screaming]

-Ah!
-[Reuben squeals]

-[panting]
-[grunting]

Everyone, stay calm.
This foul beast is no match for me.

Creature, attack!

Hyah! [grunts]

What have you done?

-[Jesse] Gabriel!
-No, stay away!

It's after me, not you.

Look at him.
The mighty Gabriel.

Looks like true greatness
is out of his reach.

He may not be able
to defeat this creature, but I can.

Creature, retreat!

[clears throat] Creature, retreat!

Retreat, I said!

Retreat!

This can't be good!

[Ivor] Nothing built
can last forever, Gabriel.

[Gabriel] Ivor, no!

[Gabriel grunts]

Creature, attack!

[people screaming]

-Ah!
-[Reuben squeals]

-[panting]
-[grunting]

Everyone, stay calm.
This foul beast is no match for me.

Creature, attack!

Hyah! [grunts]

What have you done?

-[Jesse] Gabriel!
-No, stay away!

It's after me, not you.

Look at him. The mighty Gabriel.

Looks like true greatness
is out of his reach.

He may not be able
to defeat this creature, but I can.

Creature, retreat!

[clears throat] Creature, retreat!

Retreat, I said!

Retreat!

Ivor, what are you doing?

Oh, no need to be alarmed, my friends.

I have an elixir
that will destroy this creature.

That potion, is that...?

[grunts]

Uh-oh.

-[grunts]
-[growls]

Uh, what?

Impossible. It should have worked.

I took such care.

The potion.
Axel, you've gotta throw the real potion.

-But finders keepers.
-You thieves! You're ruining everything!

[Olivia] Axel, come on.

Jesse, throw it.

[Ivor] It's protecting itself.

Without the command block exposed,
the potion is useless.

It wasn't supposed to happen like this!

Ivor! You coward, come back here!

[screams]

[Olivia] Jesse, help me!

Thank you.

Ivor was right about one thing.

I can't defeat that thing, not on my own.

Everyone's running away except for you.

-Will you help me?
-Of course.

Follow me!

Ivor, what are you doing?

Oh, no need to be alarmed, my friends.

I have an elixir
that will destroy this creature.

That potion, is that...?

[grunts]

Uh-oh.

-[grunts]
-[growls]

Uh, what?

Everyone's running away except for you.

-Will you help me?
-Of course.

Follow me!

[grunts]

[Jesse] Lukas!

Oh, man!
If I was still in that basement, I--

Thanks for coming back for me, Jesse.
I wouldn't be here without you.

-[Petra] Jesse!
-[Reuben squeals]

Wait, wait!
We have to stay together.

Jesse, help me!

-[screaming]
-[grunts]

I can't hold on.

[screams]

[screaming]

[Gabriel grunts]

[groaning]

[people screaming]

Do we still have everyone?

We must set out for my fortress.
We'll be better protected there.

-Thanks for that just now.
-Yeah. Well, now we're even, right?

[Petra] Incoming!

[Gabriel] This way!

Hurry! Inside the temple!

The inner chamber
is built entirely of obsidian.

We should be untouchable in there.

[Wither Storm roars]

-[screaming]
-[Reuben squealing]

Hurry. If you can get through the portal,
you'll be safe.

-Uh, something's not right here.
-It's not lit.

-Let's get out of here.
-Everyone, get in, now!

-[Reuben squealing]
-[Gabriel screaming]

Gabriel!

-[screams]
-[Gabriel groaning]

[both grunt]

[screaming]

[groans] Thank you.

There are so many of them.
I-I can't save them all.

I can't stop this by myself.
We need to find the others.

-Others?
-Soren's been missing for years.

But the others, you must seek them out.

Take this amulet
and guard it with your life.

You can do this.

You must.

[grunts]

-Do we still have everyone?
-Looks like.

We must set out for my fortress.
We'll be better protected there.

[screaming]

[Petra[ Incoming!

[screaming]

Ha!

Stay together, everyone.

We'll be safe
as soon as we get to my temple.

Lukas!

[screaming]

The temple is just up ahead!
Follow me!

[grunts]

[grunting]

[Gabriel] Hurry! Inside the temple!

The inner chamber
is built entirely of obsidian.

We should be untouchable in there.

[Wither Storm roars]

I wouldn't be here without you.

-[Petra] Jesse!

Wait, wait!

If you had to,
which would you rather fight,

a hundred chicken-sized zombies
or ten zombie-sized chickens?

-Choose wisely.
-[Lukas laughs]

Uh, that's a good one.
Let me think.

How can you guys joke at a time like this?

Petra is still out there.

Petra wouldn't mind at all.
She'd want us to keep our spirits up.

If I were her, I'd--

I don't know. It feels wrong.

Fine. Then, uh, we should get some rest.

We gotta start looking for this temple
as early as we can.

Now, my guess is if we start
at the portal and kind of split up--

Whoa, what are you doing?

He's just trying to help.

See?

I'm sorry, Jesse.

I'm not gonna sit here and listen
to this guy telling us what's what.

I'm trying to get ready for tomorrow.

You're the only one wearing
that stupid jacket.

Don't tell us what to do.

Take that back.

Can't. Wouldn't.

You know what? I get to wear this jacket
because I know how to build.

Doesn't mean
I don't know how to break things.

Your threats don't scare me
now that we know how you really are.

Jesse, your friend is way out of line.

Let's just drop it.

Don't be like that, Jesse.

Just drop it.

Haven't you done enough damage
for one day?

Petra might be dead because of you.

You're taking this too far, Axel.

I don't have to take this.

Listen, why don't I just leave
and let you guys hash this out?

You can't leave.
It's dangerous out there.

I can take care of myself.

It's what Axel wants, right?

Let him leave if he wants to leave.

If you had to,
which would you rather fight,

a hundred chicken-sized zombies
or ten zombie-sized chickens?

-Choose wisely.
-[Lukas laughs]

Uh, that's a good one.

You can't leave.
It's dangerous out there.

I can take care of myself.

It's what Axel wants, right?

Let him leave if he wants to leave.

Be careful out there.

Always am.

-[thunder rumbling]
-You feeling good about yourself?

[Jesse] He'll be fine.

[Reuben snorting]

Hey, guys.
I, um... I picked some apples.

You're more than welcome to some
if you want.

Thanks, Lukas.

You got up early and did all this?

I figure we have to eat.

[munching]

I thought you left.

Yeah. Me, too.

I got a tower up as fast as I could.

I tried to do some thinking,
but it was too cold.

And then it started raining.

No, it's all right. It's just-- [sighs]

It's been a long night.

I'm resourceful, you know.
People always say that.

And I am a good friend.

Most of the time, I'm a good friend.

Now, yesterday,
I wasn't at my best for one second,

and it's like none of that matters.

Except for one thing.

Petra still needs us.

I let her down once.
It won't happen again.

We're in this together now.
I'm with you guys.

To the end.

I'm not really used
to having to invite myself along.

-You're cool with me, Lukas.
-Thanks, Jesse.

Me, too.

Thanks.

If you're all right with them,
then I guess I can live with it.

Okay. I'll take that.

All right, then. Let's head out.

Look at that thing.

-What is it?
-Let's get a closer look.

[Reuben snorting, squealing]

What are we waiting for?
Let's go.

[Reuben squealing]

-What is this place?
-That's what we're trying to figure out.

[Lukas] It's the Temple
of the Order of the Stone.

Lukas, are you sure?

[Jesse] He's right! Look!

-[Olivia] Do you think they're in there?
-[Axel] Let's go in and find out.

-[Jesse] Let's just all be careful.
-Okay.

If you spot anything, call it out.
We don't have a lot of time.

Isn't it weird how dispensers
are carved to look like spooky faces?

-[Reuben squeals]
-What do you dispense, little guy?

I get the feeling
that we don't really wanna find out.

-[whirring]
-Get behind me.

[distant crash]

[Reuben squealing]

-[Lukas] What was that?
-[Axel] That's probably not a good thing.

[clanking]

Oh, come on, dispenser faces.
I thought we were friends.

-Run!
-[Reuben squealing]

[panting]

Ah!

We're trapped!

We activated the dispensers
with that pressure plate.

If we can figure out a way to trigger
it again, I bet that'll shut them off.

There's a crafting table!

Maybe we can make something useful.

Out of what?
We don't have anything.

All of our tools and materials
are back home.

All right, everyone, empty your pockets.
Let's see what we've got to work with.

I have sticks left over
from building the shelter last night.

I've got some flint and a piece of string.

All I have are some chicken feathers
I picked up

after that chicken machine exploded.

Let's see,
I've got some flint and steel, a sword...

and some string from a spider
I fought in the woods earlier.

[Olivia] String, sticks,
flint and feathers.

Be careful out there.

Always am.

Add up all the times he was a jerk to us,
and this doesn't compare.

You're being ridiculous.

And if anything happens to him,
I'm blaming you.

[thunder rumbling]

-I didn't know it would rain.
-You feeling good about yourself?

[Jesse] He'll be fine.

Hey, guys.
I, um... I picked some apples.

You're more than welcome to some
if you want.

Thanks, Lukas.

Jesse, come on.
He was here all night.

No, it's okay. I'll take that.

All right, then. Let's head out.

Okay, you probably just forgot
how to choose, huh?

Just use the left or right
directional buttons to choose,

and then hit "okay" to select it.

Let's try again, okay?

Just go ahead and choose.

[Reuben grunting]

Hey, you are gonna choose, right?
'Cause we're ready to start the story.

I know it's a tough choice.
Just go ahead and pick one.

Come on.
