Chapter Text
Wemmbu hums softly, zoning out to figure out how he got to being a pawn in a civil war, a weapon is what he is. A tug on the fishing line pulls him from his thoughts, he stares down at the… mirrored version of him in the water, more different, more insane.
Even after becoming royalty, he always thinks of Eggchan whenever fishing, but all he could think of now are the blaring difference between him and the other version of him. A purple uniform and a security guard-like hat, purple as well(Was purple all this guy wore?) red pupils.
This wasn’t his imagination.
Wemmbu drops the fishing rod, cold sweat beating down his forehead as he steps backwards, watching the other version of him crawl out of the water.
“I-Who are you?” Scared but still curious about who this other man is.
“I.. am you. Not exactly, well technically you, buttt from another server called Lifesteal!” The other one responded cheerfully, somehow dry despite crawling out of the water.
“And… why are you here?”
“This entire situation has been stressful for you, no? How about an offer, I possess your body and do all the dirty work for you, in return, once in a while I get to possess your body again for fun! I won’t do anything too chaotic, deal?”
“…how do I know you won’t go back on your word and just.. I dunno, take over my body? I mean- there isn’t much you gain from me, and how do you even know about all of this?!”
“I’m banned in my server sooooo I’m here to strike a deal. I swear on PrinceZam I won’t steal your body!!! Anywayyyy, I hacked into your server code and read some things about you, your best friend is Eggchan, oh and Jaden_man, you also have a Flamefrags and a Manepear in this server”
Wemmbu’s face soured when Manepear was mentioned.
“How is he like in your server?”
“Yo, he’s pretty chill and stuff, usually goes with me to wreck spawn, tho we’re both banned now, no need to go too much into detail”
Wemmbu’s mind goes blank, Manepear was.. friends with the other version of him in another universe? Was he never left? Never a lost cause. He thinks of what to say before just asking a different question.
“Anyway! You have a few more lifestealers here. And I just about know everything about you, how you act, how you act around people, and what your situation is! I don’t think you understand, I’ve been a literal GOD once, I’ve been a leader, I’ve been immortal. So, Wemmbu, what do you say, do we have a deal?”
The other Wemmbu holds out his hand with a calm relaxed smile, like he knows that Wemmbu is going to accept, and.. he’s right.
Wemmbu didn’t want to be a simple chess piece in this game, a weapon to be used by Arachnid or Saps or Parrot. He just wanted to be a normal player, he wanted to fish with Egg and complain about his constant fact-ranting. But Wemmbu’s vulnerability fucked up and now he’s dug himself in a pit bigger than he is.
Wemmbu takes his hand and closes his eyes, a calm settles over him, his soul leaving his body as the other Wemmbu fades. He watches his own body move around, admiring his own outfit.
“Nice fit, I feel like Royalty, anything you wanna mention in terms of the war and stuff?”
“Uhhh, just get me, Egg and Jaden out of this mess. Spare like- Theo, Parrot, oh and if you see Spoke, spare him too, I don’t know where bro is right now. Uh.. and Flame… just.. He’ll be able to hold his own against you. Uhhh all the other chungies or wtv, just bomb them. Follow Arachnid’s orders and stuff. You’ll figure out the rest.”
“Alright~ I should know how to use the mace and everything because it’s like instinct to you so-”
Before Bu(I’m gonna call UU!Wemmbu Wem and LS!Wemmbu Bu) could continue his sentence, footsteps were heard in the distance. It’s Yungy, probably approaching to call Wemmbu over to Arachnid or another mission.
Wem notices as well and gives a final warning
“Don’t do anything stupid and you better do your job right”
“Yeah yeah”
Wem is then taken to a dark place, souls like him wandering, he sees Wifies, DeanTheBean9, someone named iMajesticRose, and.. Rejoice all playing… UNO?
Rejoice quickly notices Wemmbu and rushes over, calling out his name.
“WEMMBU! I- I could’ve sworn you weren’t banned! How are you here?”
“It’s a really long story, I’ll tell you later” Wem looks like he’s on the verge of tears.
They have a reunion to get back to.
And Bu has a job to do.
