Minequest- Ender Eyes: Chapter 15- Going Home
Summary: Despite Achievement Hunter collectively agreeing to never touch the Minequest mod again, Ryan decided one day to try and explore the mod again. Before he officially starts, the mod literally calls out to him and asks for his return. He accepts thinking it was just a new quest, passes out, and awakes again literally back in the Kingdom of Achievement. The rest of the hunters discover Ryan’s passed out body at his desk with Minequest up on the screen. They need to go back into the mod after him to bring him back. But, Ryan will not be the same when they find him.

Trevor and Lindsay took Ryan and led the rest of the Achievement Hunters to the castle infirmary. The nurse took Ryan and lay him on a cot. Jeremy stepped in to make any other cuts on Ryan’s body scab over while the nurse popped a glass eye in where the Ender Eye had been. The rest of the crew sighed in relief. This wouldn’t happen again.
“So…” Geoff started. “Now that Ryan isn’t going to be Ender Dragon reincarnated, can we take him home now?” he asked Lindsay.
“Geoff, you can’t forget, we still have to finish cleaning up the mess Ryan made,” Jack said.
“Dammit!”
“Actually, you Hunters have defeated the Ender Dragon again. As your reward, you all will be allowed to leave as soon a Ryan is well enough to manage,” Lindsay announced.
“Thank you,” Jeremy said with a smile and a glimmer of hope.
“How long do you think it will take for him to bee able to function again?” Geoff asked.
“No telling. Well, it is late so, I am going to take my leave. Good night and thank you again,” Lindsay said as she exited the infirmary.
Geoff growled. “WAKE UP, DAMMIT!” he yelled into Ryan’s ear. Ryan stirred, but remained unconscious.
“We shouldn’t yell at him to wake up. It’s not going to do anything,” Jack said. Geoff groaned in response.
“Hm,” Trevor said from across he room. “I could fetch awakening incense the nurse,” he suggested.
“Yes, please,” Geoff aid aa he rolled his eyes. Trevor nodded and ran to get the incense.
“So,” Michael started as he walked over to Jeremy. “Blood powers, huh?”
Jeremy looked at his hands. “Yeah… it’s really weird.”
“It’s bloody mental is what it is!” Gavin called out as he jogged over to Jeremy and Michael.
“The pun’s not appreciated,” Jeremy said with a smirk.
“Oh, you know what I mean. It’s odd, though. You’re the one with blood powers and not Ryan considering he’s all about murder.”
“Really Gav, ‘cause animal powers weren’t fitting for Ryan?” Michael asked as he raised an eyebrow.
“Oh, come off it!”
Jeremy looked at his hands again. “I feel like there’s a Let’s Play Minecraft reference in here somewhere,” he said.
“BACK!” Trevor called out a he dashed back into the room with the incense.
“GREAT, NOW WAKE HIM BACK UP!” Geoff yelled. Trevor sprinted over to Ryan’s cot. He uncapped the vile of incense and let it hover underneath Ryan’s nostrils. “How long I this gonna take?” he groaned.
“He just had his eye ripped out,” Jack pointed out.
“Give it a minute,” Trevor replied.
Suddenly, Ryan’s eye shot open. He sat up gagging and coughing. “Ugh, was that awakening incense?! You know I hate that stuff!” Ryan exclaimed as he tried to sit back up.
“Easy, buddy,” Trevor said as he pushed Ryan to lay back down.
“What is in that incense?” Gavin asked.
“Don’t worry about it.”
“Welcome back to the land of the living,” Michael said.
Ryan smiled. Then he blinked and realized that he couldn’t see out of his right eye. He lifted his hand and moved it to the right and it disappeared when it went too far right. “Guys, I can’t see out of my right eye,” he said, nervously.
“That’s because it’s a glass eye now,” Jack explained.
“You’re welcome, by the way,” Geoff said.
Ryan sighed in relief and smiled. “I can’t believe it! How were you guys able to get the damn Ender Eye out?”
“Actually, it was Lil’ J who got it out,” Gavin said.
Ryan looked over to Jeremy. “How?” he asked.
Jeremy rolled his eyes. “Thanks for having so much faith in me,” he joked. Ryan opened his mouth to defend himself. “Kidding. It turns out that apparently my power in this universe is blood bending, and I made your blood push your eye out,” he said, sheepishly.
“No fair. Because if anyone should have gotten a taste for blood here, it should have been me,” Ryan joked back.
“There’s our Ryebread,” Gavin said.
“And you almost did get your taste for blood with all the Ender Dragon shit,” Michael pointed out.
“Meh, details,” Ryan replied, waving him off.
“Well, hurry on and get up so we can get home!” Geoff said.
“I…” Ryan trailed off into a yawn. “Can we wait? I am way too tired to move right now.”
“Besides, Lindsay had to make a formal announcement for a portal home to open up and she’s asleep now,” Jack explained.
Geoff groaned. “Fine, I’m going back to my house here and going to bed,” he said as he left the room.
“I’d like to go to bed, too, but I might need help navigating back to my Minecraft house,” Jeremy said.
“We got you,” Jack said as he led him out of the room. Gavin followed behind.
“Good night, guys,” Trevor said as everyone left the room. Michael waved good bye as he left the room.
The Achievement Hunters stayed in the Achievement Kingdom for a few more days. Ryan had enough energy to stand, again, after a long night’s sleep. The part that made them stay a little longer was the fact that Ryan needed to learn how to walk, blind in one eye.
Once Ryan could maneuver himself well enough, the Hunters met up in the castle and Trevor led everyone to Lindsay’s thrown room.
“Honestly, it was nice to not have people be confused that we had no idea where we were going, this time,” Michael said.
“I’m just happy we saved Ryan’s ass,” Geoff said.
“So, Ryan, bet you’re happiest to go back to a world without Ender pain, right?” Jack said.
Ryan stared off into space. “I’ll be happiest to go back to a universe where I haven’t slept with Gavin,” he admitted without thinking.
The rest of the Achievement Hunters turned and stared at Ryan, wide-eyed. “Wait, WHAT?!” Gavin exclaimed.
“Huh?” Ryan said as he blinked in confusion.
“Slept with Gavin? As in, had sex with him?” Jeremy asked for clarification.
“I…I…” Ryan stuttered. Then, he turned to Trevor. “Trevor…” he pleaded for help.
“Hey, you admitted it, not me,” Trevor replied.
“So, did you have sex with Gavin or did you not?” Geoff asked.
“I…” Ryan paused and blushed furiously in embarrassment. “Apparently Minequest Gavin and Minequest Ryan were friends with benefits… but Trevor and Lindsay were the only ones who knew I was really me…. So, I had to play along for Minequest Gavin…” he admitted.
“YOU HAD SEX WITH ME?!” Gavin exclaimed in anger.
“I…” Ryan stuttered, again. Geoff snorted and he and Michael threw their heads back in laughter.
“Well, that was not how I expected this to go,” Jack said as he raised his eyebrow.
“So… was Gavin any good in bed?” Jeremy asked.
“I…” Ryan began.
“Hey,” Lindsay said as she entered her thrown room. “What’s everybody laughing about?” she asked as she joined the group.
“They just learned about Ryan and Gavin’s friends with benefits situation,” Trevor explained.
“Ah.”
“CAN YOU PLEASE JUST LET US GO HOME!?” Ryan yelled in embarrassment.
“You can.”
“I think you got to make a formal end of quest announcement again,” Jack explained.
Lindsay nodded. “As queen of the Kingdom of Achievement and the giver of the Quest to Clean Up after Ender Ryan, I hereby declare that that your quest is complete, though altered. You have permanently destroyed the Ender Dragon and you have saved us all. As you’re reward, you may now return to your own plane of existence to continue to live out your lives as they were meant to be,” she announced.
When she finished speaking, a familiar purple portal consumed the back wall. Ryan immediately turned and sprinted through the portal. “You think he was really that ashamed off it?” Geoff asked.
“Who bloody cares,” Gavin growled as he stomped through the portal.
“Good bye,” Jack said as he walked to the portal and went through.
Jeremy and Michael walked over to the portal. “I was kinda cool being here,” Jeremy said as he walked through the portal.
“Take care of your kid,” Michael told Lindsay.
“Will do,” he replied. Michael nodded and walked through the portal.
“Good bye. And please, don’t ever call us, us here, again,” Geoff said as he walked through the portal.
Geoff’s eyes were squeezed shut when he suddenly felt a vibration coming from his leg. “Huh?” he said as he opened his eyes. He was back in the Achievement Hunter office.
“And the last one is awake,” a family voice said. Geoff turned his head to see that it was Trevor’s voice. “You know, even though Kdin’s worked at The Know now, she said you all played that Minequest mod before and it made you all fall asleep. You may have only passed out for like two minutes, but you were all unconscious.”
“We knew that was gonna happen.”
“So, why’d you play it again if you knew you were gonna pass out?”
“We had to save an idiot,” Geoff explained.
“In your sleep?”
“It’s some multiverse bullshit.”
“Right…” Trevor trailed off as he left the room.
“So, I guess you were the last one to leave then?” Jack asked.
“Yeah…” Geoff said as he looked around the room to see that everyone else had already woken back up. paused as he felt another vibration in his pants pocket. “What is that?” he asked as he reached into his pocket. It was some texts from Ryan.
“Who texted you?” Gavin asked.
“Ryan. he said he’s gonna get a shower then get a Lyft to work because he went twenty months without driving and he’s probably gonna want a little refresher course before he gets back on the road.”
“It’s good that he’s still gonna come into work, today,” Jack said to lighten spirits.
“I still can’t believe you had sex with Ryan, Gavin,” Jeremy snickered.
“I never shagged Ryan!” Gavin angrily replied.
“I wonder if Meg will be jealous that you slept with her boyfriend,” Michael joked.
“OH, come off it! I’m Meg’s boyfriend!”
Jack sighed and smiled. “So, what are we gonna do the rest of the rest of the day?” he asked.
“We’ll see what’s on the to-make list. But before we do anything else, we are deleting that mod off of these computers!”
“Okay,” Michael said and he moved the mod files to the trash bin on his computer, then emptied the bin. Everyone else quickly did the same.
“And I don’t know how, but we’re gonna make sure Ryan deletes it off of his computer at home. We are never going back to that stupid world!”
“Gavin could always get into Ryan’s house. He has a key, after all,” Jeremy said.
“It’s not my…” Gavin paused his protest and sighed in defeat. “Just… shut the hell up.”
“Alright, we’ll do Dead by Daylight when Ryan gets here,” Geoff announced.
“Awesome,” Jack said.
And everything went back to being as normal as it could be with the Achievement Hunters.
