Hi, I’m Alex, and my life has taken a weird turn over the last few weeks. We have fought off the griefers, Diamond and Jay, so you would think my life would be back to normal, but no. Something had to come and ruin it again. Or, should I say someone? Once we dropped Diamond and Jay off at Mushroom Island, there was a crack of lightning. We went to see what it was, but then, once again, that led to a bigger problem. One that nothing could have prepared us for. 

Previously in The Griefers of the 3 Dimensions (Book 2)...

We were just celebrating our victory, when there was a loud crack of lightning in the distance. We all looked around, then looked at the sky. It was a clear sunny day, and the lightning had come and gone very quickly. 

Something about this sudden event made me feel uneasy. I didn’t like it. Without a word, Sasha and I waved for the rest of us to follow. The others exchanged a bewildered look, then followed us toward the lightning strike.

Pixel and Byan

Pixel and Bryan appeared on a command block in a flash of lightning. 

Where are we? snapped Pixel, brushing off her shirt. 

I don’t know, replied Bryan, coldly, I’m just as confused as you are.

Pixel groaned and said, I want to go home. 

Bryan nodded in agreement.

Pixel roared in frustration and ran toward a tree. She punched it as hard as she could, breaking the block. She stared down at it. 

Bryan, this is a very strange world. 

Bryan looked around at her. He saw the block she was holding and asked, How did you get that? 

Pixel shrugged. I punched the tree, and it popped out, she said. 

Bryan punched a nearby tree, and he got a block, too. Bizarre, he said.

Are there different blocks? asked Pixel. 

Bryan looked around and realized they were in a forest. Look, he said, Why don’t you go discover more blocks in the forest, and I’ll start looking for a way home.

 Pixel agreed, and she pranced off into the forest, looking for some useful blocks. Once she got some more wood, she figured out how to make a crafting table, and then a sword. 

As a very skilled fighter, she quickly took out two passing sheep. She devoured the raw meat, then went to see what Bryan was up to. When she got to their spawn point, she asked, Anything? 

Bryan turned around and smiled. He was holding the command block that they had spawned on. 

What… started Pixel, but Bryan cut her off. 

Just wait, he said, Watch. 

Pixel watched as Bryan gripped the block tightly in his hand and disappeared. Pixel gasped. She felt a tap on her shoulder. She whirled around, preparing to strike with her new sword, but it was only Bryan. 

He laughed at the shocked expression on her face, I teleported. I can do other stuff, too. Watch. 

She watched as he made a lightning strike and teleported. When he was done, they both smiled. One thing was clear. This block was the key to getting them home.

The Newcomers

The sun was in the center of the sky, and the air was muggy and hot. 

Alex, are you sure you saw lightning? asked Vicky, sweeping his spiky black hair out of his face. 

I rolled my eyes and replied, Yes, Vicky. For the millionth time, I know I saw a bolt of lightning strike in broad daylight. That can’t be a good sign. 

I saw it, too, piped up Sasha, It was way over there. She pointed in the same direction we’d been traveling in for hours. 

Mason pulled her long, white-blond hair into a ponytail, and said, Well, what’s the harm? If there really is another threat, we should know about it to put up our guard.
