Hypercharged is the creeper level: dark obsidian halls you can't dig through, and creepers that move fast and explode hard. Last time they fought their way down to a tiny hallway and stopped there. This one opens with mobs already spawning around them. The death counter reads Basket 47, Scoti 42.
All the TNT that has ever existed
The first room has a pile of TNT in it, "like, all the TNT that has ever existed." One of them has a flame bow and is very tempted to set it off, but there might be something good in there, so they hold off.
Then the hypercharged creepers arrive, and some of them carry TNT on their heads. "Don't let them explode, they'll set off the TNT." The creepers fill the room from below, coming up a staircase that one of them calls a death factory. "Fall back, fall back." They block off the stairs, pillar around corners, and try not to let the creepers see them for long. Along the way they find a dispenser loaded with five TNT and empty it.
A bigger boom than planned
The next room is like the last one, only with more creepers and more TNT. They talk about waiting before setting anything off, since a big blast now would drop them to the level below. It goes off anyway, and they both live through it.
A few minutes later there's another huge explosion. One of them owns up: in the panic of throwing down blocks, a TNT went down instead. "I was wondering how we had such a large explosion." They kill everything in sight and call it a win, for about a minute.
Spawners in the pillar
A pillar in the next big room turns out to have spawners inside it, and that is where the TNT heads keep coming from. Some of them are on fire, "just to be weird." One spawner goes down, then another.
Right then, at about 19:24, the chat reads "Scoti_Garbidis was blown up by Hypercharged Creeper." The counter goes to 43. Scoti's gear is scattered on the stairs, and it's a long walk back from the teleporter up "the staircase of doom." While one of them clears the room, the other wanders back through the level, getting stuck in blocks and finding creepers they left behind. "We left creepers."
The gear goes into a chest and gets sorted out. One thing nobody seems to have is the really nice pickaxe, the "end breaking efficiency thingy." "You're joking, right?" "No."
The fleecy box
The last room is very dark. They shoot one more pile of TNT and the creepers on the other side survive the blast, which makes them think these creepers might resist explosions. Lower down there are cobwebs, spiders and slimes. "If there's a slime spawner, do not break it."
At the very bottom they find it: a glass and red brick fleecy box. They count down together, "One, two, three," and open it. Cyan.
The chest is full of cyan wool, and the room reminds one of them of an old crater on one of the first servers they played on together. One of them thinks Hypercharged was the last area off this intersection and wants to keep going. The answer is "next time." The counter ends at Basket 47, Scoti 43.
