1 year ago:
The newly recruited players Utahime and Mei Mei investigate a Haunted mansion.
Utahime: The mansion was a haunted mansion with Illagers and other mobs inhabiting it. But Jujutsu Pros cleared the mansion and some villagers started living in it. Until one day when they all mysteriously died. After that, any villager who entered the mansion also disappeared.
Mei Mei: They most likely were killed by mobs that reacquired the mansion. We just need to go there and kill them all, right?
Utahime: Yeah…I guess so.
Mei Mei: Are you scared?
Utahime: Huh? No. It's just, I am not actually a combat-type player. I'm mainly support. You know, Redstone and stuff. I do know a lot about combat, just not been actually able to use it myself.
Mei Mei: Don't worry. You're with me so I'll protect you.
Utahime: Thanks.
They enter the mansion and find it dark from the inside. Mei Mei finds a torch and gives it to Utahime.
Mei Mei: Here, take this.
They light the torch and start searching the mansion.
They investigate the ground floor but find nothing.
Mei Mei: So no mobs on the ground floor? That leaves the first floor.
Utahime: Why would the villagers even try going to the first floor if the ground looks so spooky?
Mei Mei: Everyone has work to do. Not everyone is like you.
Utahime: What do you mean?
Mei Mei: Nothing. Let's just find the mobs and kill them already. I need to get paid.
They enter the first floor and search different rooms.
Utahime enters the room at the end of the corridor and finds 2 Slimes inside.
Utahime: Aaah! Slimes.
Mei Mei follows the sounds and finds Utahime running out of the room.
Mei Mei: You shouldn't be running from mobs like this.
She takes out her axe, ready to face the slimes.
Utahime: Mei Mei, we're surrounded.
Mei Mei: Huh?
She looks around and finds the both of them surrounded by slimes. The slimes were hiding in the rooms and from all the sound and disturbance, came out.
Mei Mei: You didn't search the rooms correctly.
Utahime: You searched them too.
Mei Mei: Take out your sword. Kill those who attack you. I'll kill the rest.
Mei Mei attacks the slimes with her axe. The slimes split into 2-4 smaller slimes when killed, which further split into 2-4 smaller slimes.
Utahime: They aren't dying.
Mei Mei: The smallest ones die from a single hit.
Utahime kills a few small slimes while defending herself.
Mei Mei: There are too many. We first need to get near the exit.
Utahime jumps down from the balcony of the first floor and runs towards the exit but the exit door explodes.
Utahime: Aaah! Creepers.
The walls also start exploding and Utahime starts running in the opposite direction. Mei Mei also jumps as the top floor starts exploding behind her. They try to find cover and soon find the entire house exploding around themselves. Utahime quickly takes out obsidian blocks and covers herself and Mei Mei with them to protect themselves from the explosions. As the sound of the explosions stops, they break the blocks and get out and see Steve standing in front of them, with TNT in one hand and a flint and steel in another.
Steve: Utahime, I came to save you.
Utahime: You idiot. You blew up the entire mansion? You could have killed us. Why the hell did you blow the entire mansion? What are you even doing here?
Steve: I told you. I came to save you. I heard you were sent on a mission and knowing how weak you are I had to come. Though I did not know Mei Mei was with you. Then I shouldn't have worried.
Utahime: …What do you mean weak?
Suddenly a slime comes from behind Utahime and is about to attack her but a ravager spawns and kills the slime.
Alex walks from behind them.
Alex: Don't pick on the weak Steve.
Steve: Who in their right mind would pick on the strong?
Utahime: …
Shoko: Come on guys, don't bully her.
Utahime: Shoko?
Utahime runs towards Shoko and hugs her.
Utahime: Please Shoko. Don't you ever become like them.
Shoko: Don't worry. I won't turn into an idiot like them.
Alex walks towards them.
Steve: You know Utahime walked on those blocks, you're gonna get weak like her.
Alex: Shut up.
Mei Mei: Well, you guys interrupted the mission, so now I'm gonna get paid less.
Utahime: All you talk about is payment.
Mei Mei: Anyways, did you inform Masamichi?
Steve, Alex and Shoko: …
At Jujutsu HQ:
Masamichi: Whose idea was it to go "help" them?
Shoko and Alex point at Steve.
Steve: …
Masamichi: And who decided it was a good idea to blow the entire mansion up?
Shoko and Alex point at Steve.
Steve: …You know what? Why are we trying to find out who did what? Can we not do that?
Masamichi: Steve!
He punches Steve.
Steve, Alex, and Shoko are sitting in a room, relaxing.
Steve: What's the big deal if I blew up a mansion anyway? It was infested with mobs.
Alex: Villagers could have acquired that. Lately, the number of mobs on the server has increased making it difficult for villagers to live peacefully.
Steve: Yeah but why do we care about the villagers?
Alex: Because they can't defend themselves. Naturally, as players who can fight, it is our job to protect them.
Steve: But why do we care?
Alex: The villagers coexist with us. We trade with them for food, materials, and resources.
Steve: Items that we can acquire on our own in the overworld. And it's not like they give us the resources for free. We have to pay them too, and then they expect us to protect them.
Alex: We occasionally take their crops, and their resources for free, but that's not the point. Survival of the weak. That's how society should be. The strong should help the weak. Listen, Steve, players must protect the villagers.
Steve: Aren't these excuses that the weak make to justify their existence to the strong? To convince the strong to protect them?
Alex: …
Steve: What happened? Don't just say such big things when you can't defend them.
Shoko: I better get out of here.
Shoko runs outside.
Alex spawns a wither Skeleton.
Alex: Steve, let's go outside.
Steve: Are you lonely? Go out yourself.
Masamichi enters the room.
Masamichi: What are you 2 doing?
Alex brings back the wither skeleton.
Alex and Steve: Nothing.
Masamichi: Where is Shoko?
Steve: No idea.
Masamichi: Anyways, I have a mission for you 2.
Alex and Steve: …
Masamichi: What happened?
They both look at each other with disgust.
Alex and Steve: Nothing.
They walk outside.
Masamichi: I didn't think it was a mission suited for you both but Notch requested you specially. The mission has 2 parts. Account Vessel. A suitable account for Notch to take over. You will guard her, and then get rid of her.
Steve: Guard and then get rid of her? Have you finally lost it?
Alex: That's what hours of gaming do to you.
Masamichi: ...
Alex: Is Notch's account about to get banned again?
Steve: Huh? What does that mean?
Masamichi: As you know, you do know right? Notch is the creator of Minecraft. As its creator, he created his own account to play the game. His account had all the mod and dev abilities. But he played the game for fun and creativity. So he didn't abuse his powers. As one of the oldest servers in the game, he has been a friend of the players of Jujutsu. Eventually, when the Jujutsu Pros formed, he joined us as an elder. He doesn't get involved in our stuff but does help us out with some things here and there.
Steve: I know all that.
Masamichi: Oh did you? That's fortunate. Anyways, when Jeb took over, He was no longer allowed to have his own account in the game. So he was banned. But before he was banned, he took over another player's account. Paid them of course. But to cover up Notch getting another account, they weren't allowed on the server with another account. But the devs always found out one way or another and removed that account. So Notch has to take over new accounts every year to allow himself to play the game.
Steve: So just because he wants to play the game, he keeps ruining others' gaming experience. Got it. But what do we have to do?
Masamichi: This year, a player named Riko was chosen to be taken over. Usually, he chooses players who don't have an active presence on the server, so that even if she disappears, it wouldn't create much problem. But this time, the news spread, and the identity of the girl has been leaked. Now 2 groups of people want to kill her. One of them called Group Q hates Notch and doesn't want him to continue to play on the server. The other…are a bunch of stupid villagers who worship Notch as a god and see the act of him taking over another account as defiling him. They are called the Minecult. Notch will take over the account in 2 days. You have to protect her till then, and then bring her to Notch.
Alex and Steve go to Riko's location to secure her.
Alex: The Minecult will hardly be an issue for us. We need to be careful with Group Q.
Steve: Yeah, don't worry. After all, we are the strongest. That's why Notch has entrusted us with the task.
Alex: You know Steve, you should act more maturely sometimes. We might even get to meet Notch, the creator himself. You better behave yourself in front of him.
Steve: But I don't want to.
Alex: Steve, I'm telling you…Nevermind.
Alex reaches the location while Steve is looking for enemies from nearby. As soon as Alex presses the doorbell button, an explosion triggers.
Steve: Huh?
Alex was saved by an Enderman before she could get hit by the Explosion. She looks towards the building next to her and notices a girl falling from the window. A player pushed her out of the window.
Group Q Player: I'm sorry. Don't blame me. Blame Notch for this.
Alex spawns a Ghast and sits on it. She flies the Ghast and catches the girl before she falls.
Alex: (So this is the vessel?)
Group Q Player: You're from Jujutsu Pros right? Give her to me, or I'll kill you.
Steve watches them from another building top.
Steve: That was close.
He gets attacked by multiple arrows but he dodges them easily.
Group Q Player 2: Impressive. You're Steve right? You're famous. I've heard you're quite strong. Let's see if the rumors are true.
Steve: Fine. But promise me you won't cry or beg me to spare you.
Group Q Player 2: You brat.
A Player and a villager are watching this all from another building.
Villager: It's started. The Minecult can't fight the players themselves. But they pay a lot. So what do you think Zenin? Will you join the Assassination?
Toji: I have left the Zenin. Just call me Toji. And I accept the proposal.
