Lachlan's POV 

I was anxiously waiting for Vikk to go over from worlds. I had walked through the portal and immediately turned around and waited for my lover to come through.Within a few seconds, I saw his small stature appeared in the portal. I almost sprinted to him, and engulfed him in a hug knowing he was safe. At least for now. I had now turned around to witness one of the scariest things in my life.The ground was steaming from the heat, magma slowly poured from everywhere. A nether fortress was in front of us and it must be at least 200 ft up. I gasped as a ghast flew from over the top  and right over us. That thing I swear to god was at least 20 ft tall and 35 ft wide. It was pearly white with blue stains under its eyes. Its tentacles hung and swayed as it continued to the other side of us."Anyone else about ready to throw up?" Preston asked.All of the Sidemen raised their hands immediately while everyone else slowly raised their hands. "Let's just get this over with." Paris said beginning to explore for the entrance. We all followed until we found an entrance. We walked into the area with the Nether Warts. "A few of you grabbed these." Vikk said pointing  to the disgusting warts in the ground. Paris Brandon Mat and Harry leaned over and began to pick up the Warts and the soul sand. We continued on through the fortress. Thankfully we have not had any encounters with hostile mobs. We had gotten to the top and this is where the blazes spawn.Great. (SARCASM)I looked around and again, these things scare the shit out of me.The blaze had eyes as black as ebony and was engulfed in orange and scarlet flames. It floated above the ground and hovered in place. I looked at it and within a second, its eyes were engulfed in flames and it was started flying towards us."GUYS. INCOMING." I said as the blaze neared me. I raised my iron sword as it came close. It shot a fireball and it hit the ground next to me."Ha...jukes." I said as it came close often so I walked forward and swung the iron sword and its head. It didn't die but took damage. I was about to swing again when multiple arrows shot it to death. I turned around to see the Merome duo wielding bows and high-fiving."Thanks." I told them as I acknowledged their shots."No problem, but I would expect a lot more of where that came from."  Jerome said as two more spawned."Okay.....who has torches?" Vikk said worryingly."I have 62." Paris said walking up to be near the front. "Alright well lets get some blaze rods and high tail it out of here." Josh said from behind the Poofless duo.I suddenly felt a weight on my shoulders and heard a familiar voice say,"Onward trusty steed!"I just sighed as everyone laughed at Vikk who was on me."Finnnnnnne..." (Image Preston's image of him rolling his eyes right here Perf)I said as I walked towards the spawners. Soon enough eight more spawned in front of us and we toughened up and fought them.The Sidemen missus Vikk were all working together on a few of them. Merome was sniping from the back. Paris was sneaking over to the spawner trying to avoid the swings and shots. Noochzahhutt was look out for ghasts at the top of the fortress, bows ready. Whilst Poofless, Vikk and I fought away any stray pigment and the rest of the blazes. We even killed a Wither Skeleton. Of course the more that spawned the more death was crawled towards us all.Blazes continued to spawn until Paris had reached the spawner and spammed torches everywhere. The blazes stopped spawning and we regrouped ourselves, taking a breath from fighting the mobs."Back home?" Ethan pleaded once we stopped.

"Yes Ethan we can go back home." Rob said walking back through the fortress and to the portal. Everyone sighed happily and followed Rob.

"Yes let's go this place is scary as hell. Literally." Ethan said before almost sprinting to the portal. I was behind Preston and Vikk just casually walking. I noticed Preston kept getting really close to the lava, observing it. And when he got to close to the lava he would stray back to Vikk, as if he knew not to get to hot. Before I knew it, Preston was right next to a pool of lava walking along the edge, taking in the change of colors and the swirls of movement. He was swaying back and forth, bewildered by the substance when Simon yelled.

"WHAT IS THAT?" I turned to see Preston sway to far over and in the lava from being startled.

"Oh my god, PRESTON."

His body just disappeared underneath the surface of the orange liquid. Everyone turned to see me sprint to the edge of the pool of lava. Of course Rob just stopped and almost fainted.

I wanted to stick my hand in but I knew I would burn myself severely. I watched as the lava sways back and forth where he dropped in, just as it did before. 

"Preston?" Rob whimpered as he neared the pool of lava. He got down on his knees and his hands and just looking at the edge of the pool. 

"He....he has to being a-alive." Rob said.

"What do you mean?" I asked looking at him.

"Because I'm made of lava, you cactus." 

Who the hell...Preston. I turn around and Preston's head is poking above the lava.

"Really?!?" I asked him

"YEP."
