In book 2, Alex was found by Hero Brine. Steve came to see her but accidentally got hypnotized by Hero Brine! Alex tried to fight Steve but fell into a deep hole.

What Hero Brine forgot was his hypnotizing powers lasted only 2 hours. Soon Steve forgot being hypnotized and wondered where Alex was. "ALEX! ALEX!" Steve was screaming everywhere to find her. That Hero Brine! What has he done NOW?!Steve wondered furiously. Meanwhile Alex kept falling until.....CRASH! She fell hard. "Ugh-where am I?" She said. "HERE"A voice boomed. Alex was in a cave, with emerald ore. She felt sleepy. Then she felt someone using powers on her. Suddenly she fell asleep. Soon she woke up in a dungeon. A red deep dungeon. But when she looked in a chest all she saw was a loaf of bread. Steve soon relized he had been hypnotized!

He remembered EVERYTHING. "I need to find Alex!!" Steve said. "Then get past ME!!!" Hero Brine laughed. Steve turned around. Uh oh. Meanwhile Alex saw spiders and creepers coming. She slammed shut the door but a creeper managed to get in. Alex used her sword to fight it but the creeper exploded! Alex flew back and was in pain. Blood was almost everywhere. Soon she had closed her eyes and lay down against the wall she had banged on. Soon Steve had managed to escape Hero Brine but risked himself to find Alex. He fell into the hole and found Alex laying against the wall unconscious. "Alex!!" Steve said. He walked through blood and took her someplace. It was underground.

Alex woke up in a deep red room. Steve was there. "Where am I?" Alex mumbled. "Your awake!" Steve shouted happily. "Huh?" Alex said."Oh never mind."Steve said. Alex and Steve held hands and slowly and carefully found the way out. Steve tied the rope to climb. They both climbed but Alex wasn't ready. She was hit with a blast of power and fell to the ground and so was Steve. "Ha ha ha." A farmiliar voice said. "Hero Brine.." Steve managed to lift his hand up but fell again to the ground laying there dead with Alex.
