Recap:

Then the dark void started getting brighter, as panic was obvious on both my and Galaxy Steve's face. Then a weird static noise started to fill my ears. It was too bright to see, and I find myself passing out again.

Hollow.

~3rd POV~

Oli snapped their eyes open in a panic. Oli was heavily breathing, looking around frantically.

The new scents hit Oli like waves. Ash, flowers, and... The clock Steve's scent.

~Oli's POV~

' Where am I? This is new... I was captured again! At least I'm not there. '

*Click* *Cl-click*

' I'm in another machine! Can this day get worse? '

I rolled my eyes in annoyance.
' The force, ' I noted, ' it seems weaker than the other machine... '

I tried to take a step out of the machine, and was pulled back at the last second.

' It has more force than I anticipated. Huh. Well, that just means I have to try harder! '

I tried a second time. A lot more force was pulling me back. It was causing me a little pain too.

' Come on! ',I thought.
' Just a little more! '

I pulled with all my might. I flung out of the machine and landed on my left ankle. When I landed, however, there was a sickening CRACK that rang through my ears.

' My ankle is broken!!! What do I do?! 
It really hurts! '

I then fell on my face after freaking out. Now my nose and ankle hurts. :(

Now that I can see without restraint, I looked around. The smell of pine filled my nose.

' The clock Steve must have been here at some point. Did he put me in the machine? '

I seemed to be in a iron laced room, with lava falling down the corners. There were glass windows, for what I can assume is for spectating. There also was a chest in the center of the room.

I turned to look at the machine I was in moments ago. Immediately I thought, ' That is not a complex machine. Infact it looks rushed.
Wait... How did I know that? I've never seen a machine like this before. '.

I shook my head to clear the thought. Then I noticed, there was a person watching me from one of the speciation windows.
