"Let's go!" He yelled, running into the crowd of people that gathered to try and stop. To stop him from getting to Egg.
He remembered the way he kissed the scars on Eggs skin. Even if there were few of them. Wemmbu still thought the other was beautiful. And he didn't ever want to lose his best friend.
Wemmbu screamed out, rage coursing through his body. "Lettuce, you vulture!" He could see the way the other paused to look at him, "give him back, or suffer the consequences!"
He and Flame tore everything down, breaking the barricades made by the law. The two of them were deadly. The experience of fighting with each other from last time was really helping him now.
He couldn't wait to reach the law base, the fishing rods in his inventory vibrated in anticipation. He had already used a few before when a large group of goons ambushed him and Flame just as they were gearing up. These guys really loved to interrump.
He wanted to see what sound it makes, when he landed his mace on Lettuces skull.
He hated this flavor with a passion. He gripped Gambit tightly, the weapon fit snugly in his grasp. But he didn't feel completely comfortable on the battlefield either. At least Flame was on his side. And he fucking hated the aftertaste of the actions he was taking now.
"How does it feel, how does it feel?" Wemmbu spoke loudly to the law leader. The red panda was clearly a hypocrite, sending a bunch of people to their deaths.
How does it feel? He asked himself, he lost so much for finally having peace and now it was stripped from him again. Well, it feels like he's on fire. Not like Flames friendly fire, but a fire that burned with rage and emotions he hadn't felt in a long time.
Made me a promise here tonight. Not to anyone else but to himself. A promise to let another one of the people he let closest to him be taken away, and letting people think it was okay and that he wouldn't do anything about it. He thought about the dreamless nights in early graves they spent together. When he went to rescue the angel, he never wanted it to be this way.
The storm will bring him home again, Wemmbu would literally use every strike cannon in his possession just to make sure Egg would live to see another day.
The purple demon turned to his greatest rival, "This is it, when it's done, we can say that, when it's sudden disappearance, we fight back." The words escaped his mouth as soon as he thought them, and Flame had a plan ready. And if it worked, they would take Lettuce down.
"I've seen you circling the sky above my head!" He yelled at the dumb goons that somehow enforced the law on the server.
"You traitor!" He yelled again, this time to the law leader who Wemmbu agreed to let him go alive if the red panda didn't mess with him again. "I will never be taken for granted again!" And it was true because the law leader had underestimated him and now he would suffer the consequences.
He and Flame had finally gotten rid of most of the goons, the ones left were at least intelligent enough to not try to fight the two of them on their own. He could see Lettuce's shocked face before his eyes narrowed and the red panda turned away to say something to his guards and disappeared from the platform he was looking down upon them from.
He and Flame wasted no time and restocked as it was clear there was going to be a fight in the next few moments.
The next time LettuceK appeared, he had a certain angel on his side. Wemmbu froze in his tracks, staring right at his friend, Flame stopped too after he realized what was going on.
This mothermuker and his endless stream of threats.
Just by looking at Egg he knew that the other was in pain. He needed to think of something quick. Egg was hurt and scared, it was painfully obvious by the way he held himself and how his wings were closed and tight on his body. Wemmbu couldn't see it from so far away but if Egg was truly hurt he would do the same but ten times worse on Lettuce. But if we die at the same time, would it still scare him? No he mustn't think that way, he needed to be confident now.
Made a promise with himself tonight. He wouldn't let him die. They would bring the storm to them! And nothing will remain.
He prepared, body aching with too much adrenaline and too little fights. His breath fastened as the law leader held his sword to Egg throat, just above a scar of a too familiar situation.
He could see how Lettuce turned his head away yelling orders at the poor goons who had just bare witnesses to the massacre of all their equals. Lettuce was distracted and he used this vulnerability as the perfect time to strike.
He used rockets as he equipped his elytra to lift himself high into the air before slamming back down and equipping his chestplate to mace the unsuspecting and soon to be dead LettuceK. Egg was his, and that meant he was under Wemmbu's absolute protection. "You stay away from him!" The demon yelled, his voice framing the moment at the perfect time to see the laws' leader.
"It's not his time!" He yelled again because it was true, after Egg had done for him he deserved to the rest of his days in a peaceful place and with him. As he fought off anyone who tried to even get close to them, Flame took care of the last few members of the dying organization.
"Dude that was close," Egg said trying to be nonchalant but gratefulness and relief stained his voice.
Wemmbu turned to him and wordlessly enveloped his friend in a tight hug, he had to stop himself from breaking down and crying on the spot. He was so worried and scared, he was glad his other half was okay, "don't you dare to do that again, Egg."
"You gained aura by the way." Replied the often taken hostage. Wemmbu finally let go of Egg but still stayed close to him. The two of them started to walk out of there since now, there wasn't anyone left to withhold the law.
"Bro," Flame said, annoyed but with no real feelings involved, "what the hell did I arrive to." Wemmbu laughed at his reaction and soon the other two joined him.
The three walked a little bit before pulling up their elytras, Flame received another one from Wemmbu. Egg couldn't fly with his wings since they were injured from the previous kidnapping fiasco, so Wemmbu carried him. Since Wemmbu and now Egg didn't have a place to stay, Flame decided to let them stay in the guest room of his base.
Maybe it didn't end so bad after all. Not if he had both of them here.
