00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,880
Welcome back everybody to the 
Minecraft Short Stories Podcast.

2
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:18,400
This is episode 73 and in this 
episode I will be telling a 

3
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,640
listener story submitted by 
Dragon Queen. 

4
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,120
This story, as always, was 
submitted through my website, 

5
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,040
minecraftshortstories.com on the
Submit a story page. 

6
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,600
So if you have a story or you 
want to write one for the 

7
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,080
podcast, maybe get read, then 
that is the place to do it. 

8
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,320
You can find the link in the 
description or just, you know, 

9
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:39,720
Minecraft shortstories.com. 
Anyways, one quick note for the 

10
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,880
patrons over on Patreon who 
listen to the Minecraft Short 

11
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,320
Stories Prologue podcast. 
There was not a new one for this

12
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,080
week. 
There won't be one for a little 

13
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,480
while more because I'm preparing
a lot of big stuff for the 

14
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:52,720
Prologue podcast and for this 
podcast. 

15
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,280
So look out for that. 
Thank you guys for being patient

16
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,520
and I cannot wait for you guys 
to listen to what I have plans. 

17
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,200
Anyways, another thanks to 
Dragon Queen and let's get right

18
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:07,920
into this story. 
Just before the story begins, 

19
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,280
I'd like you guys to know. 
So Spotify for Podcasters, which

20
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,760
is the podcast service I use, 
they have removed the insight 

21
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,040
editing tools. 
So now I have to add in my own 

22
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,200
music, make sure it fades in the
background and stuff. 

23
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,400
So this first story where I'm 
learning how to use an audio 

24
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,640
editor may be a little bit 
rougher than usual, but 

25
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,040
hopefully this will end up 
increasing the quality 

26
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,480
production of the podcast now 
that I'm doing it completely 

27
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,000
manually. 
So I just want you guys to know 

28
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,480
there may not be background 
music if I can't figure out how 

29
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:53,840
to do it, but thanks. 
The Withers Revenge by Dragon 

30
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:58,800
Queen part one. 
The time had almost come. 

31
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,920
Alex glanced to her left, where 
Steve was busy sorting their 

32
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,400
gear. 
They had acquired a solid set of

33
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,320
diamond armor, each complete 
with bows and arrows, swords, 

34
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,680
and potions of regeneration, 
fire resistance, and strength. 

35
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,760
Though Alex was confident that 
the materials they had worked so

36
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,680
hard to get would be enough in 
the battle. 

37
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,440
Something about the third member
of their party had been giving 

38
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,480
her an ominous feeling in her 
gut, one that she was having a 

39
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,120
difficult time shaking off. 
As she tended to the campfire, 

40
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,880
she sat in silent thought. 
Steve and Alex had met EDA Fix 

41
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,400
Well in the Nether, scavenging 
for another work to prove their 

42
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,840
potions. 
He seemed to have been wandering

43
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,360
through the quarters of the 
fortress as he had come across 

44
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,120
him, looking absentmindedly out 
of one of the fenced windows at 

45
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,360
the expansive lava lake 
surrounding the area. 

46
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,440
He had turned around when he saw
them, nodding his head in 

47
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,040
greeting. 
His small smile had to met his 

48
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:51,120
eyes, which were like dark pits.
He wore a kind of armor Alex had

49
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,000
never seen before, a dark 
purplish black color. 

50
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,840
Alex wasn't easy when she and 
Steve first met Edifix, but he 

51
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,720
soon proved to be surprisingly 
pleasant and well tempered. 

52
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,680
At the Nether Fortress, it asked
them what the purpose of their 

53
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,760
journey was, and Steve had 
answered, saying the words Alex 

54
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,480
shivered with anticipation to 
hear. 

55
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:10,600
We're attempting to defeat the 
Wither. 

56
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,160
Edafix had smiled again, 
responding that he had also been

57
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,080
working towards that goal. 
Alex had glanced at Steve. 

58
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:19,640
Why don't we battle together? 
He nodded. 

59
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,720
You're welcome to come along. 
Edafix had accepted the 

60
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,360
invitation and accompanied them 
back to the overworld where the 

61
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,440
three of them had finished 
preparing for their upcoming 

62
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,280
adventure. 
Now Alex watched as Edaphix 

63
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,400
strutted up to her and Steve 
with that same emotionless smile

64
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,760
he'd had back at the fortress. 
At this point, Alex had gotten 

65
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,000
used to it and didn't think of 
it as anything suspicious. 

66
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,000
Maybe Edaphix wasn't used to 
company, as he said he had 

67
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,600
stayed in the Nether most of his
life where humans were scarce. 

68
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,800
Maybe he felt like you need to 
smile so it's not the same weird

69
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:49,480
and it was just a natural for 
him. 

70
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,720
He's certainly been through a 
lot, Alex observed as she 

71
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,480
glanced at the dark scar running
the length of his face and down 

72
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,120
his neck. 
According to Edafix, he'd had 

73
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,800
that scar since he battled a 
Piglin Brute and a Bastion a 

74
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,640
year ago. 
Steve approached Alex and 

75
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,720
Edafix, carrying a Shalker box 
full of all their gear, freshly 

76
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,720
inspected. 
Setting down the box, he took a 

77
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,280
deep breath and held up his 
diamond sword in the light. 

78
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,840
This is it. 
Nothing more needed to be said. 

79
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,079
All three of them knew exactly 
what came next. 

80
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,680
Over the course of the next day 
the companions made their way to

81
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,520
the Nether portal, many 
adventures used as it was near 

82
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,640
multiple villages and easy to 
access. 

83
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,880
It had been a ruined mess when 
it was first found, but someone 

84
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,600
had eventually repaired it and 
it was now the centre nether 

85
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,760
hub. 
Shops surrounded the portal, 

86
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,520
selling nether related 
materials, items and weapons. 

87
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,160
Two guards stood by the entrance
in case any ill meaning entities

88
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,080
attempted to pass through and 
cause a commotion. 

89
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,760
Decked down their gear. 
Steve Alex Anita Fix arrived at 

90
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,480
the portal and took a final look
at the bustling scenery behind 

91
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,600
them. 
Finally, Alex saw in 

92
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,720
anticipation. 
It's been months since we 

93
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,040
started preparing for this. 
It better be worth it. 

94
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,560
Part 2. 
Steve was ecstatic. 

95
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,680
Scared, but ecstatic. 
The Wither was one of the most 

96
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,400
dangerous entities ever to 
exist. 

97
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,440
He and his friends were about to
battle it and hopefully defeat 

98
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,320
it. 
As he stepped through the 

99
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,360
portal's glowing purple haze, he
closed his eyes and willed 

100
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,200
himself to stay calm. 
This was not going to be an easy

101
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,600
battle. 
The Netherac platform that all 

102
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,360
travellers saw as they entered 
the main nether portal came into

103
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,160
Steve's view. 
He waited as the others appeared

104
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,560
through the mist after him. 
Alex looked excited but nervous,

105
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,680
and Edifix, he looked completely
at ease. 

106
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,480
Steve wondered if there's 
something else in play of this 

107
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,920
strange character he and Alex 
had met on their nether war 

108
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,040
excursion. 
Edifix, with his unusual name, 

109
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,720
unusual back story of living in 
the Nether most of his life, 

110
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,120
definitely made Steve curious 
and slightly unnerved by him. 

111
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:48,760
But he's done nothing wrong, 
Steve thought. 

112
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,280
He sighed to himself as they 
silently walked the path leading

113
00:05:52,280 --> 00:05:55,880
to the Wither's fortress. 
Everyone knew about the Wither, 

114
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,520
how it was undefeated, 
terrifying, and only a few had 

115
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,600
lived to tell stories of its 
immense strength. 

116
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,480
Its fortress wasn't exactly 
hidden either. 

117
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,880
By taking a path directly from 
the Nether Hubs portal, one 

118
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,760
could reach the fortress in less
than a day. 

119
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,040
It had been years since the last
adventurer battled the Wither, 

120
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,600
the stories of the monster from 
the Nether dwindling in 

121
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,800
frequency over time. 
Steve knew the battle was likely

122
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,480
to result in his own defeats, 
but he was determined to try for

123
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,680
victory. 
He and Alex had trained for 

124
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,480
months for this day, and they 
weren't going to back down now. 

125
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,640
When around 3 hours of walking 
had passed, the slight tint of 

126
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,200
Nether brick reached Steve's 
vision. 

127
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,680
The fortress was minutes away. 
Alex inhaled sharply beside him,

128
00:06:35,840 --> 00:06:38,200
her features glinting with sweat
from the heat of the lava all 

129
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,040
around them and possibly the 
nerves of what was about to 

130
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,960
ensue. 
Steve was nervous as well, and 

131
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,400
he tried to take deep breaths to
calm his racing heart as he 

132
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,080
reached the fortress's towering 
walls and fiery columns. 

133
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,120
They raided their weapons and 
prepared for the final battle. 

134
00:06:56,840 --> 00:06:59,360
The first thing Steve saw when 
he entered the fortress was a 

135
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,160
throne made of what looked like 
the same material Edaphix's 

136
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,040
armor was forced out of. 
No one sat upon it. 

137
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,960
The room was eerily quiet, 
unlike what Steve had expected. 

138
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,760
Alex, standing to his right, was
scanning the room, trying to map

139
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,240
out where the Wither might be 
residing. 

140
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,920
Could something have happened to
it during the long years of 

141
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,280
silence in this fortress? 
Just as Steve was about to 

142
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,360
suggest they look around for any
signs of the monster, a hoarse 

143
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:24,840
shriek echoed throughout the 
chamber. 

144
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,160
He froze, slowly moving in a 
circle to locate the direction 

145
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,760
of the noise. 
Another shriek, sounding closer 

146
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,720
this time, and Steve was ready 
to act quickly if he needed to. 

147
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,120
Alex tensed, one hand on her 
enchanted bow, and another 

148
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:38,920
grasped an arrow from her 
quiver. 

149
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:43,160
A moment of complete silence, 
and then the Wither emerged 

150
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,160
through an opening in the upper 
wall, a whirl of black bone, its

151
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,920
three heads hissing and smoking 
as it found its new enemies. 

152
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,080
But just as soon as it spotted 
them and Steve and Alex aimed 

153
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,640
their weapons, it paused in an 
almost surprised way, stopping 

154
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,560
mid air. 
Steve lowered his sword, unsure.

155
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,280
Confusion etched Alex's face. 
You Remember Me? 

156
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,200
Said Edaphix. 
Steve whirled around. 

157
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,280
What? 
Edaphix grinned vindictively, 

158
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,120
genuine satisfaction on his 
face. 

159
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,360
You had no idea. 
He walked directly up to the 

160
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,680
Wither, which was still floating
in the same place. 

161
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,240
Steve watched his realization in
horror flooded Alex's face. 

162
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,280
It was you. 
She quivered then, stronger, 

163
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,000
angrier. 
You spawned the Wither. 

164
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,560
You tricked us. 
She clinched her fist around her

165
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,400
bow. 
Steve knew that Alex was right. 

166
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,559
Edaphix had spawned the Wither. 
His whole living in the Nether 

167
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,840
back story. 
That scar on his face is 

168
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,960
probably the doing of the Wither
when I had first spawned, but 

169
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,600
now it was on Edaphix's side. 
Now Steve and Alex would have to

170
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,400
fight both Edifix and the 
Wither. 

171
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,000
Edifix actually petted the 
Wither. 

172
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,560
And then I can't believe you 
offered to let me join you. 

173
00:08:48,560 --> 00:08:51,480
Give me the perfect opportunity 
to sabotage your plan. 

174
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,560
I can't have you killing my pet.
Steve swallowed bitterly. 

175
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,600
You're a traitor and a liar. 
Now fight us like you've surely 

176
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,240
been itching to do for the past 
week. 

177
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:02,880
He fell. 
Alex stand next to him, and 

178
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,120
knowing she, at least whenever 
betray him, gave him just the 

179
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:07,520
right amount of courage he 
needed. 

180
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,040
He stared straight to Edifix his
eyes. 

181
00:09:10,560 --> 00:09:12,680
You're not going to take away 
our opportunity like this. 

182
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:18,440
Go ahead, unleash your monster. 
Part three, My monster. 

183
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,320
He to fix chuckled, sitting on 
the throne. 

184
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,600
OK. 
He turned to the Wither. 

185
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,720
Go on, destroy them. 
The Wither, as if breaking free 

186
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,800
from a trance, launched itself 
at Steven. 

187
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,200
Alex. 
He watched the two warriors 

188
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,240
dodged Wither's explosions and 
try to hit it, maneuvering every

189
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,920
which way. 
He realized, as one of Alex's 

190
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,720
arrows lodged in the Wither's 
rib cage and it lurched 

191
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,760
painfully, that they might 
actually have a chance of 

192
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,120
victory. 
That would certainly not do, he 

193
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,320
thought. 
He stood up for him, his nether 

194
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,760
right throne, and took out his 
sword, forged to have the same 

195
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,000
material. 
He may just have to do this 

196
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,120
himself. 
Alex was breathing heavily as 

197
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,080
she shot arrow after arrow at 
the Withers restless form. 

198
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,360
It dodged, shot back, lurched 
and whirled as she frantically 

199
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,040
tried to aim her bow. 
Come on, she thought, willing 

200
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,920
herself to focus. 
She chugged a strength potion, 

201
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,000
hoping you would give her a 
little more accuracy, but she 

202
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,480
must have been a little too 
focused as she didn't see Edefix

203
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,160
slowly approaching her from 
behind. 

204
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,320
Just as he raised his sword to 
attack, she caught the motion 

205
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,880
out of the corner of her eye and
quickly rolled to the side as he

206
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,680
swung at the place she was 
standing a second ago. 

207
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,720
He turned and growled, 
irritated. 

208
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,440
Not today, creep. 
Alex said through stronger 

209
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,400
breaths. 
The strength potion must have 

210
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,840
worked. 
Before Edefix could prepare 

211
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,960
another strike, she smoothly 
aimed and shot an arrow directly

212
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,360
into the gap of this helmet. 
Edefix stood there for a moment 

213
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,720
and slowly fell to the ground, 
but Alex had no time to 

214
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,400
celebrate as the wither was 
still trying to explode Steve, 

215
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,360
who's leaping all over the place
to avoid the smoking skulls 

216
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,960
launched at him. 
Alex joined Steve in the thick 

217
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,920
of battle where minutes went by 
of hurry, dodging, running and 

218
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,200
striking. 
They were losing energy as their

219
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,680
breathing became laboured and 
their taxless accurate. 

220
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,320
Steve ran beside Alex, avoiding 
the explosions behind him. 

221
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,800
Alex, Alex. 
He gasped. 

222
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,640
It's weakened, a couple more 
hits to the head might do the 

223
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,760
trick. 
Steve was right, the Wither is 

224
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,800
moving slower now, if you could 
hit it with one more arrow. 

225
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,640
She stopped running briefly to 
load her last arrow. 

226
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:18,880
Aim, and now the arrow sailed 
through the air and successfully

227
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,280
hit its target, the Wither's 
right most head. 

228
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,800
The monster roared. 
Your turn, Steve. 

229
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,320
She shouted. 
He nodded, positioning his sword

230
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,160
so he could throw it. 
The Wither came closer and Steve

231
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,040
took the opportunity, throwing 
the diamond blade with all his 

232
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:34,400
might at the Wither's middle 
head. 

233
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,120
Alex watched the Wither shriek 
one last time before falling to 

234
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:42,040
the ground, truly defeated. 
It exploded in white smoke, 

235
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,520
dropping only a star shaped 
glowing crystal. 

236
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,320
Steve walked forward and picked 
up the star in amazement, 

237
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,840
holding it up to see it better. 
Alex approached him, still 

238
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,560
panting an exhaustion. 
I wonder what it does. 

239
00:11:55,560 --> 00:11:57,240
She said. 
It's beautiful. 

240
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,600
They destroyed the Wither. 
Steve still couldn't believe it.

241
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,720
Oh, and need to fix? 
Alex began. 

242
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:05,920
Steve gasped. 
Where is he? 

243
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,120
He had completely forgotten 
about him in the midst of 

244
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,480
battling the wither. 
Over there, Said Alex, casually 

245
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,360
pointing to a spot near the 
middle of the chamber. 

246
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,280
ETA Fix was lying on the ground.
And then he disappeared in a 

247
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,120
puff of smoke. 
Steve laughed, impressed. 

248
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:37,280
Good job the ends.
