The crew ate the memes, and at long last, could fight the roombas for the ratings. But the roombas came at full blast, and knocked @Masonrf out cold. With the nerd defeated, the non-nerds looked helpless to stop the roombas. Suddenly, the ghost of @matrix_rep flew in on an elytra, shooting each and every roomba with a snowball. It had appeared that by being perma-banned, Matrix's ghost had actually gained strength, and become an invincible fighter for dank memes against the evil EULA. Matrix, knowing that he could not use the nether stars unless he was un-permabanned, had grabbed all of his nether stars from the fortress. With a triumphant, booming voice, Matrix announced: [L] [Resident][TeamRheas][*VIP*] Matrix_rep: For your bravery, each and every one of you has received 2,000 nether stars! Enjoy! And so, everyone went out and bought melon swords, which were re-added to the shop in celebration after the melon king was defeated. With melons now at $2 each, everything seemed pretty perfect. It wasn't, though...
The instars were carved from the shiniest stone in the land, the ghost of matrix_rep had fooled them so he could keep the instars for himself. They needed to find the real instars. Next chapter
Having the Fly feature, Icon was the first to get to the StarShop, and excitedly hit the sign. Seeing the error message, Icon double checked to see that he had the stars... and it looked as though he did. But the nether star title was in italics, proving that it was renamed. With /price, he was able to determine that the "nether stars" Matrix had given them were in fact stone. Icon yelled in global that the stars were fake, and urged other members of the crew to get to /warp debt as soon as possible. Meanwhile, @xX3PICREBELXx, who was already in /warp debt, was mining his way down to Matrix's fortress, hoping to find some sort of treasure there.
But he made a grave, very newb, mistake. He dug straight down... Yes, ladies and gentlemen, straight down. Fortunately for him he had pyro+ so when he fell into lava, he only had a major fright. He swam through the lava and jumped on to the shore of a great stone cavern.
He then battled a stampede of Skeletons only to find that when they die they respawn into creepers 5 minutes later!
Knowing that creepers could not spawn in the main worlds, @xX3PICREBELXx laughed. He was able to defeat every skeleton, and finally lay his eyes on the incredible fortress of nether stars. He stood in awe at the fortress, feeling invincible and free to take all the nether stars at last. Suddenly, he heard digging coming from just outside of /warp debt. xx3 glanced back, and surveyed the area. The sound stopped for a second, relieving xx3's fears that people had found him. But as soon as he turned back towards the fortress, the sound started again. He turned towards the sound, and it immediately stopped again. Confused about the situation, xx3 decided to enter the fortress. Only, the miners' picks grew louder, and yells of celebration by the crew seemed imminent. xx3 went up to the door, as the miners grew closer and closer to him. As soon as he turned his key (one of only three in existence) to the door, a large group of miners ran through, and stole all the nether stars. xx3 asked the crew: [L][Moderator][TeamRheas][VIP+] **xX3PICREBELXx: Why are you stealing his nether stars? The crew began to all speak on top of one another, as they tried to vindicate taking them by saying that @matrix_rep had promised them 2000 nether stars each. However, they had failed to take timestamped screenshots, so their complaints were dismissed for lack of evidence. However, they still were able to come away with the stars they had been looking for. Angry at losing Matrix's stars, a determined xX3PICREBELXx, along with Phantomine, 7amoodw, and BackToThePast, began plotting his revenge on the crew...
Matrix, hearing of XX3 and the crew's plan of revenge, knew what he had to do. He snuck into the room of his brother, Schlanger, and logged on. He was ready to show ECC what he could do. Luckily, the impeccable Whammerist5 was at the ready, and hearing of Matrix's plans, decided to assemble a true team to stop Matrix once and for all. He spent hours and hours drafting out the perfect application, to select a team in it's prime, to rek the rigger. Whammerist was ready to save ECC (and or fulfill his own greed and get a bijillion NStars). application for rekting the rigger: IGN: Whammerist5 Rank: Mayor Strengths: None Weaknesses: Writing Merits: being a veteran of story game, famous for shitty fake applications, not wanting to write the epic duel but still wanting to shamelessly re-enter himself into the story, etc.
They were when the melon king took over earlier in the story. Anyway... The various crew members of every potato and bubble regiment in existence wrote applications, as Wham and his crew were already a part as they were founders of the Rigger-rekting squad. In the end, everyone on all regiments except Obblebobble and OnSceneReporter were able to join the Rigger Rekters, as they were now known. They all set out once again, hoping that they would somehow thwart TeamRheas' plan to stop them.
