It took a while, but they finally let me leave the room, and the moment they did, I went to the first place that I needed to get to.

Food.

Thankfully, the cafeteria onboard isn't terrible, and I sigh as the elevator opens, letting in aromas that made my stomach gurgle. I sigh and follow the smell slowly. My arms were still wrapped, and my legs a bit sore, but I could handle it for now. A charm around my neck was keeping most of the internal pain at bay, courtesy of Doctor Strange and Castiel. It wouldn't last long, and I couldn't take it off.

Thank goodness they have a mild sense of style. It was cross-like, with a circle behind it. It held engravings that I could partially read, and a few jewels were within it as well. It was mostly silver with the engravings a shade darker. The jewels were mostly a cyan blue, thanks to the Autobots. The energon shards were helping to counteract the dark energon that had made its way into my system.

I just let out another sigh as I feel its gentle power flow through me again, soothing the pain in my legs. My nose then leads me to the nearest cafeteria line. My stomach lets loose a growl as I near it, and I hear a familiar chuckle. "I figured your first stop would be here." I can't help but smile as the person behind the counter turns, holding a plate of steak, potatoes, corn, and green beans with a side salad filled with tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, cheese, and lettuce. Next to the salad was a container of honey mustard dressing. I can't help but smile even broader at the man behind the counter.

"William Lennox... Who let you get behind the counter?" He slightly laughs and pushes the plate and bowl towards me a bit. "Would you rather someone else?" I quickly shake my head and grab the plate and salad bowl. "Oh no, I'd rather you. I meant I didn't think they could afford you." That earns me a laugh and I carefully make my way to a table. The food is delicious and doesn't last long. Some might comment that they heard a vacuum going off, but I was completely starved. Soon, the plate and bowl are both empty, and I lean back with a sigh. Lennox sits across the table from me, a soft smile on his face. "That... was amazing." Is all I say while wiping my lips clean. 

I sit up and start to grab for the plate to help clean up, but Will gently grabs my hand. I look up at him, and I see his concern written all over his face. I huff but slightly wince at the pain it causes. "You doing okay, kid?" I know I can't lie to him, so I just avert my gaze instead. He squeezes my hand, and I look back to see him offering a small smile. "I know, dumb question. But, you did just eat an eight-ounce sirloin, half a potato with corn and green beans, then a whole salad as well... You must be feeling a bit better." 

That makes me laugh a little and I shake my head. "Well, if you know the rundown, I'm fine for now, just as long as I don't take this off." I lift the amulet to show him, then drop it back down. "But something's bothering me, and I'm glad I actually ran into you." The colonel releases my hand and slightly leans back. "What's going on?" I smirk and stand up, reaching for the plates. "Come to the bridge in ten minutes, and you'll find out." The colonel smirks and grabs the bowl before standing as well. "Sounds good to me. I'll meet you there."

~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~

Once at the Bridge, I am standing before the large round table with all those aboard. The leaders of Berk were across from me, their dragons sitting nicely behind them. On my right was Sonic and Tails, with Lennox next to them. On my left was the rest of the Marvel crew, with Tony next to me and Bruce behind him. Jack and the other Guardians were slightly behind everyone, but able to see well. Optimus, Ratchet, and Wheeljack were in their holoforms next to the Guardians. I gaze around, and smile, then begin the debriefing.

"Alright, this is what we know. Pitch has gathered many villains from the fandoms that have joined this world. He may have more that we haven't even met, but right now we know who he has acquired." Tony steps in and taps the table. A hologram appears with Pitch Black surrounded by the others that were with him. Tony gestures to each one, and they become bigger as he speaks about them.

"First up we have Megatron, leader of the Decepticons." Tony brings up some schematics of the warship and continues. "He mans the warship named Nemesis. It's equipped with fusion cannons, ion rays, and multiple energon canons. One hit is enough to severely wreck the system of any normal military plane." The warship shrinks down, and the warlord becomes larger. I walk forward and focus the hologram on the blaster on his arm. "Megatron's personal fusion cannon is fueled by dark energon. This cannot only mess with any tech that it comes in contact with, but it is severely fatal to humans, more so than just normal energon." Ratchet steps up and joins us. "Thankfully, we have discovered a way to reverse the negative side effects induced by overexposure to dark energon."

Tony nods and double raps the table. Megatron shrinks down, and Crowley becomes the center of the show. I have to withhold a growl, but apparently, it still slips through. A cold hand wraps in mine, and I turn to see Jack now standing next to me. He gives me a small smile, and I calm down. I step forward and start the breakdown. "Crowley, the King of Hell. He commands armies of demons and hell hounds. They are extremely powerful but weak to pure rock salt. Demon traps can lock them in place, and you can keep them from getting you with this sigil tattooed anywhere on your body." I swipe and reveal the sigil just as the elevator opens. I turn and spot the Winchesters walk in. Dean is the first to speak as he makes his way over to us. "Holy water will also burn them. Keeping a few bottles of it on you can mean the difference between life and hell." He tosses a bottle towards Jack, who catches it with ease. The water freezes in his hand, and he looks to the Winchesters with confusion. Sam explains this as he nears the table as well. "If you can freeze shards of holy water, that gives us a ranged advantage." Jack simply nods and tucks the bottle away in his pocket for now.

Next up was Yami Marik and Bakura. When they are brought up, I shake my head. "They truthfully are weak alone, but with their ability to tap into the Shadow Realm, they can summon monsters you'd only imagine in nightmares. Their main power comes from these two millennium items." I swipe and double-tap the table again, and the Millennium Rod and Ring appear, each hovering over their respective owners. "I still don't know how he freed them from the Shadow Realm, but I know someone that can help us." I slide the files aside, type a few things, and the mugshot of Yugi Moto appears, with Yami Yugi next to him. "I have already sent word to them about this, and he will be at the base when we land."

His face dissipates, and the two Yami's shrink. Up next was Loki and Ronan. They appear with the Chitahuri around them. Bruce takes over this one. "Despite them not being seen on the battlefield, the presence of the Chitahuri can only mean that one or both of them have teamed up with Pitch." Cap joins the conversation now. "Loki has been known to switch sides depending on what's in it for him. We need to contact Thor and see what he knows." I get a funny feeling in my gut, and I suddenly feel like he already knows. I slightly mutter, "Thanks Heimdall." The funny feeling slightly sparks, then dissipates. I simply shake my head and continue with the meeting. "Ronan, on the other hand, is someone we haven't personally dealt with. I've already had word sent to Star Lord about this situation. I am expecting to hear from him soon." Everyone nods at this, and they shrink down to their normal group size again.

"As of right now, those are the only ones we know of," Bruce says, ending that part of the meeting. When no one asks any questions, I step forward and begin typing on the table. "Currently, we know he is trying to access the Minecraft world, but we don't know why or how he plans on doing so." I shake my head and cross my arms. "That's... what bothers me." Everyone turns to me, and I uncross my arms. I type on the table, and the aggressive Minecraft mobs appear before us. I gaze at them and cross my arms again. "I haven't seen them outside the game before, and the only way I know to enter the Minecraft world is through that makeshift End Portal that showed up."

I see eyes widen, and Nick steps forward. "If that is only way, how did he obtain those creatures?" I feel a shiver run up my spine, and it's not from Jack this time. "I... I don't know. There's no way he activated the portal... at least, not on this side." Jack turns to me, as well as Bruce and Stark. "Wait... this side?" I nod my head and continue. "Remember? The portal is like a doorway. Both sides can act as an entrance..." I suck in a breath, feeling pain start to set in again.

I try not to think about it, but the idea comes to mind that just makes me fearful. That story was one I created long ago, with my friends. I never thought it would actually come to life, and if I was right, then we were in trouble. I sense everyone watching me, and I finally lift my gaze. "There... is a possibility that... we have another villain inside Minecraft... and it could explain why he came after me." I type on the table and pull up an old website with a book I was writing that was based on Minecraft.

Everyone looks at me in confusion, and I just shake my head. "The easiest way to know what we are facing is to either read this or let me in on the operation." Lennox is the first to speak, leaning forward with his hands on the table. "Why is that, Alisa?" I smirk slightly. "I wrote the book, and if I'm right, then this villain is exactly the same as the one I created based off of a Creepypasta for this game." Lennox quirks an eyebrow at me, and I smile. "So, either suffer through my story or let me in."

For a moment, it's quiet. I feel as though I have won until Tony goes, "Ah! Got it." I mentally groan, realizing my mistake. I turn to him, and he has a smile on his face. "Didn't have to read it. Jarvis got the jest of 'Herobrine' for us. So, you can focus on resting." I suppress a growl and sigh. "Fine... you win. But, please guys..." I lift my gaze to meet the eyes of everyone in the room. "Don't leave me out of the loop. You know I'll just find my way back in anyways." Everyone agrees, and I feel my legs start to shake. Before they can give out, Jack has his arm around my back and holds me steady. I turn to him with a grateful look. "Well, I think it's time for us to start planning." I nod and take my leave, and Jack helps me back to my room. He says nothing the whole walk there, but once in the room, I huff.

He helps me sit on the bed, then just watches me. I shake my head and sigh. "Come on, stop giving me the silent treatment and say it already." I spread my hands out, and Jack finally uncrosses his. "You planned that whole thing, didn't you?" I can't hold back my smirk, and instead, I carefully slide into my bed. "What makes you say that?" I grunt in pain, and Jack shakes his head. "You wanted to have a reason to be here alone so you can plan something." My smile is obvious now. "I don't know what you mean." He starts to protest, and my face changes. He stops instantly. Instead, he shakes his head and sighs. "I... I just don't like seeing you get hurt." I softly smile and grab his hand. "I don't like you guys getting hurt either, ya know."

Finally, he gives in and leans down to hug me. A set of cold lips peck my forehead, and I stay quiet. "Please, rest for now, alright?" I try to pout but nod my head. "I will, promise." Jack finally seems relieved just as someone calls for him over the intercom. He starts to leave, then turns towards me. His soft smile is all I need, and I return it. He finally leaves, and I stare at the ceiling. I needed to wait for everyone to leave before I could start my plan.
