After escaping the hoard of mind possessed villagers (including two of their friends) Jess, Jesse and Ivor finally regroup with Harper. Who seemed none too pleased. In fact, she was pissed. Meeting all three of their eyes in a single glare.

"Now. One of you three better start explaining to me why not only was I having to outrun P.A.M.A.'S puppets, but was dodging fireballs and having to outwit a teleporting fiend?"

Ivor sputtered, confused. "What do we have to do with that?!"

"You should tell me," she paused, "hopefully before you choke on that beard of yours."

The twins remained silent. Was it worth giving up their most kept secret? They just found out about the fact Petra had the abilities of a blaze, and telling both Harper and Ivor would destroy any possible chance they had on finding out why she did.

Jesse spoke up. "It- it really is a long story..."

Harper tutted. "Oh don't worry, I have time. Because I'm not helping you three until I find out. You could get chipped for all I care."

"We don't know why-" Jess chirped up, knowing they needed Harper's help more than anything. "But something happened in our world- and.. well.. we are sort of..."

"We are hybrids of certain mobs.. normally not hostile mobs.."

"So why the fireballs? The redhead played with fire too much?" Harper rolled her eyes.

"We, honestly we don't know.. she hasn't said anything besides that she had abilities of both a blaze and a piglin..."

"You better pray to Notch that you aren't lying. Because if I find out, P.A.M.A. will be the least of your worries."

Ivor chuckled nervously although he still seemed distant, pondering what was just revealed about Lukas and Petra. "Yes ma'am."

[connections-au]

Petra stumbles into the Order Hall, clutching her head in pain.

Radar is the only other person in the hall.

"Oh my! Petra, are- are you alright? Do you, do you need anything?"

"I'll be fine... give me a moment please... and can you quiet down a bit? I appreciate my head not imploding."

"Ah, s-sorry..."

[connections-au]

Sometime in the Underneath

Jack: "What's with your sword?" Petra: "Hm?" Jack: "I mean, its gold and yet its, dare I say it, as strong as mine if not stronger. What enchantments do you have on it?" Petra: "Ah... well, mending and sharpness are the only ones I remember... there's probably some others, like unbreaking... although I don't remember how strong the enchantments are..."

[connections-au]

"...Starlight? Are you... are you alright? Do you not want to see me? Is that why you've been avoiding me?"

"N-no... no... I-I just... just please don't turn on the light..."

"Did something happen? You know you can tell me, yes? I'm here for you."

"I know... I'm just... its that..." sigh "I'm not the person you used to know and-"

Wraps her arms around Ira "Neither am I, love..."

Flinches at the contact, back going stiff "..."

"Petra told me what happened."

"I- she what?! She said she wouldn't... she- she promised"

"Hey... hey... breathe... its okay... no one else knows... she only told me because she knew you needed someone... someone familiar."

[connections-au]

Oh im thinking about Jack being genuinely confused about why Petra uses a gold sword, because, despite many enchantments, gold swords aren't the best.

And then he finds out about Petra being a mix of a Piglin. Which gold is so much stronger and better used in their hands.

He also feels terrible about the Sea Temple when he found out about the Blazeborn situation. Really terrible

Like this man goes through the five stages of grief because he could have killed his future adopted daughter.

[connections-au]

Ughh thinking about Petra meeting a 2016 forgottencanary Lizzie in episode 6. Like aufjdndnkskw the whiplash she has. No one (besides Lukas maybe) knows about the entire event that took place in the void and what happened and all that. So she just sees Lizzie, without soft yellow wings and no knowledge or memory of her or her deeds or the life games or empires or

However there is a comment Lizzie makes that reminds Petra that Lizzie is still Lizzie

"Oh I hope Joel is alright... I miss him... I want to see him again... I don't want to die here without him..."

MCSM AU things that just are (aka explaining my AU for Asks and Dares)

When Romeo killed Fred it caused irreversible damage/effect to the Overworld. At first, no one saw anything change. Not even Romeo. But then, come years later, there are a few things very abnormal:

A Poppy that never seemed to wilt

Seeds within the jungle growing thicker shrubs

Far too many carcasses of animals that wolves have hunted the woods that should have resulted in extinction or effect the food chain in a major way

Bees of a certain coloney gnoring flowers and not pollinating them

The heart of endermen, but only the rare ones in the Overworld, being more and more visible as time goes on

Romeo notices these changes but can't do anything about the mobs behavior or that of the plants. For that was Fred's job/duty.

One day Romeo's champion (Not Jesse or Petra/Jack they don't exist yet) betrays him and he gets really mad.

During his fury, something happens within the Nether. The gold nuggets seem to reflect the lava's light as if it were its own glow. The Zombified Pigmin in that area were attracted to it

Axel, Jesse, Jess, Olivia, Lukas and Petra come to exist in the world. During their younger childhood, they all come across these abnormalities

Axel - Poppy

Jesse - the Seeds/ fruiting shrubs

Jess - the animals that never seem to die ou

tOlivia - the bees

Lukas - the overworld enderman

Petra - nether gold and pigmen("Oh but Nyx why is Petra in the Nether as a child?? The nether isnt safe for a child" /lh She was accompanied by her older sibling... probably)

Idk what the word for it would be but something happens like transformation ig

Axel picks the flower for his mother and over a short time becomes more resistant to hits and much stronger/able to throw thing much further

Jesse eats the fruit, knowing the type of bush to not create toxic berries; and gains feathered wings and becomes insanely good at mimicking the sounds of mobs/others

Jess gets stung by a bee and (in a Spiderman way lol) gains the ability to float but looses the appetite for most foods

Lukas watches as an Enderman is killed and its heart (the ender pearl) is shattered as it died, black energy embracing him. He gains teleportation and is allergic to water

Petra helps whoever shes with mine gold, unknowing it'd anger the pigmen in the area. Brother gets killed by the sudden swarm but Petra leaves unscathed. Infact the pigmen didnt even bat an eye at her even though she had mined the gold. She begins to have a fascination with gold or other shiny objects and finds herself most comfortable in the nether/where its hot

Lukas and Petra have already met and are friends before the change

Jesse and Jess (Jess was the one who met Rueben) meet soon after and a year later they met Olivia and half a year later they meet Axel

One day (they are all like 13 or 14) Lukas finds out how to Teleport across Dimensions (Overworld, Nether, End) and so he takes Petra to the End, because Petra was good at fighting and he needed someone like that.

In the End, while Lukas had the immunity to Enderman, Petra did not. One ended up pushing her into the Void. She only survived due to the interference of a "Watcher's Canary" (Life Series watchers, guess which one: Jimmy, Lizzie, or Mumbo)

She is taken to a different world for a moment to heal, as the Void still did some damage just didnt quite kill her. In this world she had the choice to choose who, or what, she could be. She choose a Blazeborn as she liked the feel of the Nether and missed it. (Origins SMP)

After about three months there (three weeks in MCSM world) she is taken back with the help of a Goddess who watched over the Void and its Travellers. In order to go back though, she had to become a Traveller herself.

She never told anyone that. Lukas ends up finding out about a week before MCSM begins. (So 3 ish years later) Strictly because it started raining one day when they were hanging out without the Ocelots and they both ran for cover. Something Petra never did before and often teased Lukas about. Lukas asks and Petra gives in and tells him about everything. Including traumas that took place between her becoming a Traveller and then.

Story Mode then Story Modes with in-between Witherstorm Arc and Portal Arc, the New Order tell eachother about their situation (with the exclusion of Petra being a Traveller)

After days of travelling, and nights spent watching her back for normal nighttime mobs, Ira approached the large gates of what could only be Beacontown. She fought against instinct when the gates opened. It had to be safe. That damned name was safe. Petra was safe.

She knew it was the redhead who freed her from that endless cycle. No one else could.

"There you are," a feminine voice called out. "Surprised it took you that long, although I suppose they didn't want to just drop you off on our front porch."

She snorted. She had never known the Walker personally. But she heard of her. Heard of her and came to respect her. "Yeah, yeah. You know how they are," Ira sighed, approaching the redhead for the first time. "Lazy, manipulative jerks who will do the least they have to to please others. Annoying."

Petra chuckled in agreement. "Can't believe you had to deal with them for, what? Centuries?" She didn't give the woman with ashen brown hair a chance to respond. "I know I'm supposed to be showing you to the Order Hall and to your room," she mocked her original task that was written in the letter. "But, I do believe there's a reunion to be held, that is, if you want to see her first."

Ira snapped her head to meet Petra's eyes immediately. "She's here?!" She exclaimed, surprise warring with excitement. "I- yes I would love..." she hesitated. She knew she looked like shit. Her injuries and scars out to show with the short sleeved shirt she wore in the warmer weather. Scars that made her feel useless. Incapable. Damaged. Unlovable. She shouldn't see her. Not like this. "The Order Hall. I'd like to rest before I do anything, if you don't mind."

Petra nodded, brown eyes studying Ira. It was times like this she wished she had an ability like Lukas'. He could see what truly Ira wanted. What extinguished her excitement as soon as it had ignited. "Follow me, then."

Karnak's Dream of Life except its Ira watching the sunset for the first time in Beacontown

[connections-au]

Is this... The world... its... normal. I'm back. I'm fucking back. Let's go! I'm back...

She looks over her shoulder, as if expecting someone, or something to be there

Well, most of me is back

She reaches for her journal; flipping through its pages. A note falls out with a golden key adorned with amethyst jewels. There is an odd symbol carved into the key. One she recognizes

Huh? What's this?

"We, the New Order of the Stone, are proud to say that you were selected to recieve asks and dares from the public. As apart of this, you have an invitation to our Order Hall, the key will let you into your own quarters, which Petra will show you to.

See you soon, Ira.

-Jesse and Radar"

[connections-au]

This started as the idea of talking about Petra and the fact that this is a Parallel to a Universe she's already seen (the actual OCs world/the OC's with their Origins) but turned into this bc I got lazy/tired of writing

Something I am thinking about doing

They were right; the nights are so much more than what they were used to. The group was thankful for their generosity, making small talk while they shared a shelter with this world's inhabitants.

They were kind, albeit untrusting at first.

The group of five landed roughly on a hill, trees with petals that were the most flourishing of pinks surrounding them. The world looked like there's, save for the pink trees. Jesse was helping Ivor up when a force threw Lukas and Petra backwards, Lukas colliding with a tree and Petra missing said tree only to nearly falli down a ravine.

Looking up they met sharp, hostile green eyes. The person bore a pink and white hoodie decorated with red mushrooms and similar pink petals that the trees on the hilltop bore. They had similar flowers across their face... a bandage? Over their right eye? It had to be, seeing what seemed to be a healing scar from... some weapon...

"Who the fuck are you, hm?" They hissed, bringing Petra back to reality. Their voice was rough, yet oddly soft... distantly familiar to Petra...

"Easy! We mean no harm! Honest," Jesse responded, attempting to deescalate the situation before it got any worse.

Their attacker showed disinterest in Jesse's words. "Really? No harm?" They huffed a short laugh. "Bullshit."

Ivor reached for a pocket within his robes, and their attacker's gaze immediately fell upon the alchemist.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," they threatened, now aiming for Ivor.

"Oli! OLI STOP!!" Came a cry from a newcomer. This person had pale white skin, grey blue eyes, and loose white hair that fell just below her shoulder blades. "They- they aren't Her's... they don't..."

She glaced at Petra and Lukas, seemingly looking through the two. Her face flickered with distaste and confusion before returning to her companion – Oli. "Don't reek of Her influence... Her magic. They are safe, like us."

Oli glared at them, venom still lingering in their eyes. "..." They lowered their arm, a mask of indifference falling like a veil over their face. "But try anything and I promise I will be your executioner, understand?"

Jess sighed, body relaxing slightly from behind Ivor. "Yes, we truly mean no harm but..." the raven haired girl paused, searching for words. "But I understand being weary around strangers..."

The groups white haired savior rolled her eyes as Oli walked down the hill, disappearing from their view.

"I sincerely apologize for attack you lot, but... we are in a tense situation. Quite literally kill or be killed here... especially with Her about."

---------------

Oli grabbed Lukas by the shoulder, "Please... if there's a way for you to keep her alive... please promise me you will take it. I..." their voice cracked, refused tears gathering in their green eye. "I can't loose her forever..."

Lukas placed his hand on top of Oli's "Of course. I know its difficult to loose a friend to darkness and perhaps madness... Yet the last thing I'd want would be him to be dead... no matter what he did... no matter how destructive he was... even though if in the moment I refused to accept anything less than such..."

Oli wrapped their arms around Lukas' slender form. "Thank you. Thank you so much... I know its only words... that the actions have yet to be done... fate yet to play out... but... it feels nice to hope to have her back."
