Chapter Text
It was a warm evening on the island, the sun was already slowly hiding behind the horizon. The sky was painted into a soft pink shade, the view was breathtaking due to the fact, that there were barely any clouds visible.
Tonight Ewron was supposed to discuss the plan for incoming war with Ash. They had to get prepared for everything, even if it meant the possibility of losing.
Ewron quickly put away all of the useless stuff in his inventory and walked out of the Polski Cave. Even though The Polish Hussars weren’t so close anymore, he always felt a little sting when passing through.
“I swear, nostalgia will kill me one day”. He thought while taking a deep breath. A few seconds later, he was already on his way to the waystone. A bunch of purple particles surrounded him as he teleported to Prawdziwsza Polska, ready to consult all the details.
Surprisingly, when the particles around him slowly disappeared, he found out he wasn’t alone there. In a fact, he almost jumped as he saw that it wasn’t the man he was supposed to meet with. He saw a man wearing a white lab coat with uranium stains covering almost half of his sleeves. Multi was sitting there staring at the sea in front of him, his legs pulled against his chest, his breathing unusually slightly ragged. Ewron couldn’t see his expression, though he was sure that something wasn’t right, something must have brought him here. His next thought made him realize who was sitting a few meters away from him, since when he even had a waystone here? Did Nexe brought him in here? What the fuck was he even doing in such a place like this?
“Michał?”
The older man asked, not sure what to expect he pulled out his sword, just in case.
“Kamil… I would never thought such a thing would come out of my mouth willingly, but I’m glad to see you”.
“What are you doing in here? Who gave you access to this place? Where’s Ash?”
Multi snorted quietly, still sitting in the exact same position as he found him.
“I have no idea where your boyfriend is, he wasn’t here”.
“Kurwa, Michał answer my question. What could you possibly be doing in here?”
“You know, the end is closer than we all think”.
“Do you even hear yourself? What is this crap”.
“Well, I thought that since dark federation already took everything from me, maybe you would like to do the honors?”
Ewron froze as he heard those words, what in the world was he thinking?! What did he meant by dark federation taking everything from him?
Kamil let out a shaky breath while lowering his weapon and hiding his sword, he carefully sat beside him leaving only a small distance between them remaining.
“Michał… none of the things you’re saying makes sense, care to explain it?”
He asked the scientist next to him, clearly seeing that he’s not in the right state of mind.
Multi slightly leaned back on his arms and laughed, like what he said was the most hilarious thing he in the world.
“Oh come on.. I’m not that naive. You’re working with them, you know what happened”.
“Stop this nonsense, what do you mean the dark Feds took everything from you?”
“At first, they took one of the Polish Hussars, which completely destroyed our family. Then, they took Quackity. The only person I could trust, the only person who I actually wanted to be around. Next, they took my son, and now? They are taking the only thing I have left. The work of my life, the best thing I managed to create. All those months of work just to make things stable, just to make it work, now? Gone”.
Ewron winced as Multi said that the dark federation took one of the Polish Hussars. He knew very well that Michał was talking about him, but that was not the point right now.
“They took Nacho? What do you mean they took Quackity? It doesn’t makes sense”.
“They sent him on a mission to kill Cucurucho, even though he knew it was a suicide mission, he couldn’t reject it. In the end Cucurucho is still here and Quackity paid his price for even trying to harm him”.
Multi’s voice slowly broke as he kept talking, his hands shaking, uncontrolled laughter worked as a mask hiding the tears sliding down his cheeks.
“Quackity…is dead?”
“They took everything from me, Ewroon.
They took everything without hesitation, there’s nothing left for me, no reason for me to still be here”.
Ewroon finally understood what he meant.
Multi for the first time today looked away from the horizon, their gaze met.
A small smile on his face, barely visible but it was there. He spoke calmly, with surprisingly steady voice, though the hint of hope was something new.
“Would you do the honors?”
