Minecraft: Story Mode - Season Two

=== Setting ===
Minecraft: Story Mode takes place in an interpretation of the world of Minecraft, known as the "Overworld", where it is the extent of the characters' universe, and the characters are unaware that they are in a game. The main character, Jesse, is an inexperienced resident of said universe who sets out on a journey with their friends to find the Order of the Stone (Gabriel the Warrior, Ellegaard the Redstone Engineer, Magnus the Rogue, Soren the Architect, and Ivor the Potion Brewer and Enchanter), five legendary adventurers who saved the Minecraft world in the past. The game includes settings that are normally difficult to access from within Minecraft, such as the Nether and the End.

Characters

The game's protagonist and playable character is Jesse, whose appearance can be customized by the player; six character models are available to choose from, featuring different genders, skin tones, and clothing. Jesse is voiced by Patton Oswalt if male and by Catherine Taber if female. Other main characters within the Minecraft: Story Mode world include Jesse's friends Petra (voiced by Ashley Johnson), Axel (Brian Posehn), Olivia (Martha Plimpton, Natasha Loring), Lukas (Scott Porter), and Jesse's pet pig, Reuben (Dee Bradley Baker).

The second season introduces new supporting characters, namely Jesse's assistant Radar (Yuri Lowenthal), the famous hero Jack (Fred Tatasciore) and his villager sidekick Nurm (Mark Barbolak), Champion City ruler Stella (Ashley Albert) and her treasure-sniffing llama Lluna, and the sinister Admin, whose real name is Romeo (JB Blanc).

Plot

This is a broad overview of the plot. Certain decisions made by the player will alter the details of specific events.

Season One

A flashback narrates the tale of the "Order of the Stone", a group of four legendary heroes (Gabriel, Ellegaard, Magnus, and Soren) who defeated the Ender Dragon many years ago. In the present, Jesse, their friends Axel and Olivia, and their pet pig Reuben prepare for the EnderCon building competition, where the winning team will get to meet Gabriel. The Ocelots, another team led by Jesse's rival Lukas, attempt to sabotage their project, scaring Reuben. While chasing after Reuben, Jesse is rescued from monsters by a mercenary-for-hire, Petra. Petra invites Jesse to join her in selling a Wither skull to a customer named Ivor. While Jesse and their friends are preparing to meet Gabriel, Ivor interrupts the event and constructs a "Wither Storm" monster to attack Gabriel. Gabriel is unable to defeat the monster and attempts to lead Jesse's gang, as well as Lukas, to safety. As the monster catches up with them, Gabriel tells Jesse that they must find and reunite the other three members of the Order of the Stone. The Wither Storm then captures both Petra and Gabriel, with Jesse saving one of them.
After escaping the Wither Storm, the group flee to the Order's abandoned temple, where they discover that Ivor was a member of the Order but was removed from the official stories for unknown reasons. Axel and Olivia then set off to find Magnus and Ellegaard, respectively, with Jesse joining one of them. Once both of them are recruited, the group track down Soren, who is believed to possess an immensely powerful bomb that could destroy the Wither Storm. Jesse uses the bomb and the Wither Storm is ripped apart, although either Magnus or Ellegaard dies in the process. The monster quickly reforms, attempting to capture Jesse, who is rescued by either Petra or Gabriel (whichever the player did not save), although they have developed amnesia. Ivor resurfaces and offers the group his help, taking them to his lab to construct an enchanted weapon to use against the Wither Storm. At the lab, Jesse learns that the Order are frauds and fabricated the story of how they defeated the Ender Dragon. Ivor explains that he fell out with the rest of the Order over their lies, and created the Wither Storm to show the world the truth. Jesse builds the enchanted weapon and destroys the Wither Storm's command block, killing the monster, but not before it mortally wounds Reuben. With Gabriel acknowledging that Jesse's group are real heroes, he crowns them the new Order of the Stone.
Some time later, the new Order have become heroes and, on one of their adventures, stumble upon an enchanted flint and steel that can open portals to other worlds. They show it to Ivor, who believes that the device is the work of a group known as the "Old Builders", who supposedly possess infinite building resources. Jesse, Ivor, Lukas, and Petra investigate, ending up in Sky City, a floating city where building is forbidden due to the limited resources. The group is followed by the remnants of the Ocelots, who are jealous of their old rivals' fame and manipulate Sky City's ruler, the Founder, into turning against the Order. After the Ocelots seize control of the city, the Order defeat them and persuade the Founder to lift the building ban. They then attempt to use the flint and steel to return home, only to find themselves in a portal-filled corridor.
Traveling through the portals, the group arrive at a mansion full of Minecraft YouTubers, who are being systematically murdered by the mysterious "White Pumpkin" in search of the enchanted flint and steel. Jesse solves the mystery and defeats the White Pumpkin, who sought to use the flint and steel to leave the mansion after being stranded there for years. Returning to the portal corridor, the group travel to more worlds, eventually arriving in a desert ruled by PAMA, a supercomputer who has created a hive mind of humans and monsters. With the aid of PAMA's creator, Harper, the group destroy PAMA and free everyone under its control. Harper then reveals herself as a former Old Builder and takes the group to her home world, where the other Old Builders reside. Taking Jesse's friends hostage, the Old Builders force Jesse to partake in a series of dangerous games hosted by them, promising to help the group return home if Jesse wins. After realizing the games are rigged to ensure no one can win them, Jesse stages a rebellion among the players and defeats the Old Builders, rescuing their friends and securing the means to return home.

Season Two

While adventuring with Petra, Jesse, now the mayor of Beacontown, comes across a bottomless pit with a mysterious Prismarine gauntlet inside, which attaches to Jesse's hand. Seeking a way to remove the gauntlet, the pair travel to an ocean monument alongside Jack, a renowned adventurer, and his villager friend Nurm. There, they encounter a powerful entity known as the "Admin" and narrowly escape, though either Petra or Jack is injured in the process. Returning to Beacontown, the group is followed by the Admin, who takes the form of a Prismarine Colossus and begins destroying the city. Jesse stops the Admin's rampage and destroys the Colossus, but the Admin returns as a snowman. He challenges Jesse and their friends – joined by Jesse's new intern Radar, Stella, the leader of rival town Champion City, and her pet llama Lluna – to retrieve a giant clock from his ice palace. After tackling various challenges and destroying the clock, Vos, Jack's supposed old friend, reveals himself to have been the Admin all along and imprisons Jesse and their friends at the Sunshine Institute.
At the Institute, the group frees former Admin Xara and stages a breakout, though either Nurm or Lluna must remain behind to prevent her cell's trap from triggering. The group then heads to the Oasis, Xara's old town, where she reveals that the Admin's real name is Romeo and that there was a third Admin, Fred, who, prior to his death, created a weapon capable of stripping Romeo of his powers. After helping the people of the Oasis, Jesse, Petra, and Jack head back up in preparation to fight Romeo. As a show of power to the residents of Beacontown, Romeo, who has impersonated Jesse, either destroys Champion City or, if Jesse did not give Xara her bed at the Oasis, strangles her to death when she attempts to attack him.
As Romeo begins to cover the world in bedrock, Jesse's group arrives at the "Terminal Space", the Admin's home, where Jesse obtains Fred's gauntlet. Jesse fights Romeo and strips him of his powers before either leaving him for dead or offering him a chance at redemption. If the player previously left Fred's people for dead, Romeo will sacrifice himself to distract the monsters in the Terminal Space, allowing Jesse and their friends to escape. As the group returns home to Beacontown, Petra decides to leave to go on further adventures; the player can choose to have Jesse accompany her, potentially leaving Radar to act as mayor, or stay in Beacontown.
