Steve said “Don’t worry Alex I have a plan. To get me out of doing any.”
Steve said “Hey, guys, I heard you’re looking for a little extra money because you made some not too wise choices.”
One of the council members said “Steve! Things aren’t what they were when you first became a legend! Now doing that costs you a week in the starvation pit in the Nether and the status effect chamber in the Nether! Say goodbye to your family Steve, you won’t be seeing them any time soon!”
Alex said “It’s just two weeks! I can live without him for that long?”
The council said “Poor Alex, you really don’t know. If you knew this would have been a whole lot less painful for you.” trying to make her cry
Alex started to sob and said “What happens?”
The council said “Why don’t you tell her Steve. You are the PvP master of the world”
Steve sighed and said “I’ll be stuck in a bedrock room with only a window at the top.”
Alex said “Jail?!” while ugly crying
Steve nodded and said “Yes”
Alex started to cry harder and blew her nose into her dress. She said “How long?”
Steve said “Definitely at least a year. I may get out for your nighttime PvP game at midnight on August 13 Zuri. Just don’t count on it because I probably won’t.”
Alex then intercepted Steve from being pushed into the council’s car and said “Guys, I assure you, he didn’t know.”
“He’s a premium subscriber to us. He gets all our updates.”
Alex said “Steve, you pay extra for something you’ll eventually get”
The council said “I assure you, for legends and former legends, it’s totally free”
Steve said “Bye guys” sadly as he was being pushed into the car.
Alex said “Will I ever see my Stevie again? What if he dies while there and I can’t comfort him in his last hours.
Noor then came out and said “Where’s Steve”
Alex then got a call from Steve. Alex picked it up and said “Oh my special little Stevie. Anything I could send you to read while there?”
Steve said “A few things; one, I’ll be in the jail for about five years, two, I will NOT be allowed to see Zuri’s game, I want you to tell her right after this call, three, I can call you until I get to the jail I have about two weeks left and lastly but certainly not leastly, tell Zuri she’s officially the face of PvP I just found that out.”
Alex said “Are you taking the news well?”
Steve said “Yes” and bit his fist.
The council said “We’re almost there! Hand over your phone!”
Steve said “I guess this is goodbye.”
Alex said “Goodbye my sweet little diamond sword” and hung up.
Steve then handed over his phone.
He then got thrown in the starvation pit and got yelled at by the council “Bye, have a nice week! Steven Snonechoppr!”
Steve yelled “That’s not my name!” just before they slammed the doors.
Steve sat down and sighed and said “Welp, guess I better make a list of what I can do while trapped”
Steve then pulled out a pen and paper and began to write.
A week later, he had finished the page he was working on.
The council came back and said “Impressive, most that stay here get a ghast to fireball them. Great job. By the way, we had a long meeting with your family and we decided to permanently-”
Steve covered his ears and yelled “I don’t want to hear it!”
The council took Steve’s hands off his ears and said “ban you from PvP.”
Steve said “There is no way Alex or Zuri would go along with that!”
“It was a Two to six vote. Banning you was the most voted so, hand in your special pin!”
Steve handed over his pin and said “Please don’t-” the council broke it and threw the pieces into the lava.
Steve said “Throw it into the lava” his voice breaking.
Steve climbed in the car and said “Ready for the next one!”
The council said “Saving your one break day for the nighttime PvP game hmm??”
Steve said “Yeah. Okay!? I didn’t know what I did is now not allowed!”
The council said “Each time you say that, it buys you one extra year in jail!”
Steve said “Sorry!”
The council said “Too bad!’
Steve sighed and said I’m saving my off day for the day of the nighttime PvP game. Which by the way is now tomorrow!”
“So either way you won’t be able to watch it. Here's your phone. You are allowed to use it in the status effect chamber, and it gets much warmer there. And tossed Steve his phone.
They then shut the door and said”Every day it drops rotten flesh and spider’s eyes and pufferfish. Take em or not”
Steve yelled “So, you’re saying I can only eat poisonous foods for a week?”
“Yes and there’s no signal here so you wouldn’t be able to watch Zuri’s big game”
Steve said “I can handle it! I’m ready!” and the council left.
Steve went over to the food bin and found cooked pork chops. He said “Oh, I’ll be eating you throughout the rest of my punishment”
Steve was unbelievably tired, so he just curled up on the floor and tried to go to sleep and fell asleep after eight hours.
He woke up twelve hours later and yawned. He then said “Today’s the day where Zuri has her big battle. He then turned on his phone and called Alex. She responded tiredly.
Steve said “Can you send me a video of her game tonight?”
Alex said “Sure. What phase are you in now?”
“Status effect chamber.”
“Okay, we’re actually on our way out the door now. Bye”
“Bye” and hung up.
Then a week later, he got let out. He used his phone to watch the video of the nightime PvP game tha Zuri was in.
He then called Alex and said “So, Alex, Give Zuri a hug from me okay?”
Alex said “You could, she’s home.”
Steve sighed and said “I want to visit my family.”
The council drove Steve back home and Steve ran in and yelled “I’m home for a day!”
Alex said “Steve, I got you this for our anniversary. You don’t need to get me anything.”
Steve ran to his room and looked through his treasured memories box and the only thing he found that was worth anything was his precious locket.
Steve sighed heavily and said “I may have to admit I have nothing”
Zuri then came in and said “Steve, I made her a custom flower pot with paintings of each of us on it. I was going to give it to her for her birthday but, you can give it to her today”
Steve grabbed it and headed down and handed it over.
Alex said “Aww you always had this with you. After you’re let out…you know… IF you’re let out, want to go on that vacation?”
The council said “Alright, now it’s time to see if he really needs to be banned. We haven’t done the scenarios.”
Steve went to the kitchen table with the council and got asked fifty scenarios. He got all of them right.
The council said “What do you think guys?”
Everyone but Alex and Noor were on their phones.
Alex said “Guys! Should Steve really be banned forever?”
All the kids said No except Noor.
The council said “Steve, great job. Now you only have three years. You’re going now!”
Steve yelled “Send me all my books on PvP that have a star on the spine!”
Steve then got pushed back to the car and got driven to jail.
Steve cried as he handed everything in his inventory over including his locket.
The guard said “You may keep the locket. Everyone knows why you have it.”
Steve said “Thanks, do I at least get my phone?”
“Nope! Someone named Alex delivered these here for you.”
Steve said “Oh Alex how I miss how she used to always help me get ready for bed.”
Then they gave him his outfit and said “Oh come on. You have to!”
Steve changed and said “Show me where my room is”
Steve got shown to his room and saw someone who looked weak and pale was there.
Steve got shoved in and had the door locked behind him.
The person in there said “Steve? I wish I had my autograph book with me.”
Steve said “Why are you here, I’m here because I tried to get out of carrying things to my kids treehouse by attempting to pay the PvP council to do it for me. Now I regret that decision!”
“I’m stuck here for a huge party I threw when I was 18! I got a legend to do combat with me somewhere that was not an arena.”
Steve said “Oh, Now I remember you! You were that one who I had to fight. My bad decisions have finally caught up to me”
The person said “I’m Marcy”
“Nice name”
Marcy said “Okay, it’s almost time for my daily attempt to get out of here.”
“How long have you been trapped here?”
“12 years”
“First day”
“Oh. Do you want to get out?’
“Yeah. I miss the way Alex made me feel good about myself:
Then a member of council came and said “Marcy, you’re allowed to go home.”
Steve said “Please let me go.”
The council member said “Tsk tsk tsk. You’ll get banned from your arena if you keep this up!”
Steve glared at them and yelled “You can’t do that!”
“Oh really. We’re going to have a guard right outside your arena to make sure you never get back in!”
“Why are you doing this to me?”
“Your disgraceful behavior has finally caught up to you Steve! You now have ten whole years!”
“What about my behavior is disgraceful?”
“Well… you never told anyone why you do PvP at your personal battles, you used to grief people, you never did a true battle.”
Steve knew he had done real battles so, he said “What do you mean I’ve never done real battles?”
“A real battle is where the battle is just because not to settle anything. Worst of all, you have the sword of swords and let Noor touch it! Also, you let others touch your awards. More importantly, you’ve lied to us more times than we can count. Lastly, you attended a huge party ages ago and did a battle there. Oh and you were in the starvation pit more than three times! As a matter of fact, you should be here for the rest of eternity.”
Steve said “Dear oh dear. Any way out?”
“Nope. But, I’ll tell you what, since I like you, you'll only be here for thirty years.”
Steve started to cry and wailed “I won’t be able to see any PvP games for 30 years!? I’ll miss my kids growing up!”
“Fine, 8 years.”
Steve said “That’s good.”
Steve then saw his car right outside.
Alex then got out and entered the building.
Steve then got called out.
Alex then ran up to Steve slowly but was intercepted by a council member.
The council member said “Alex, you’re incapable of rescuing Steve. Nobody can.”
Alex said “Here you go Steve. A photo of the family.” and gave Steve a family photo.
Steve said “Here you go, my precious locket. I can live without it” and handed over the locket.
Alex handed it back to Steve and said “I can always use your old tapes as a memory of you.”
Then Zuri came in with the rest of the kids.
Alex snapped “What did I tell yo kids to do?”
Zuri grabbed the council member by the collar and pulled them down to her height and snapped “You listen to me mister!-”
Steve begged “Zuri, “please no! You’ll get trapped here for longer than me!”
Zuri said “I don’t care! I want you to be let out. You better let Steve go back home with us or I’ll battle you!”
Steve burrowed his face in his hands and said “There is no way she’ll win.”
The council member said “Deal. But if you lose, you have to take his punishment for him!”
Steve said “No, she won’t do that! I’m forbidding that!”
The council member said “Zuri, you do know I’m the greatest legend after Steve. Was 20 times greater than him at one point now I'm nobody.”
Steve said “I’ll do the battle for her.”
The council member said “You just don’t know the new rules do you? Taking someone's place isn’t allowed anymore!”
Steve said “Okay”
Zuri said “No! I Do not agree to that”
Steve said “Alex, I need you to get me out of here”
A year and a half later Alex paid the fine and Steve was released.
