The same evening Tubbo and Tommy met again outside of the walls. While Toby had spent the day building a house with Jack, thinking about how things would go on, Tommy had left the city and entered the nether to gather better gear. They had agreed to meet again at sunset and now both of them sat on a bench behind a small mountain east of Newgate. There was a whole mountain range in front of them with snow on the peaks of the highest mountains and spruce trees covering the grounds on the bottom. It wss cold and lonely out here, the perfect place for them to have a secret meeting.
"So...how is the plan? Is there a plan?"
Tommy seemed to think for a second, before he sighed and crossed his arms. "Yes! Yes, there is. I am just not sure if it is going to work. It has to, though! I need to become king or Sapnap will get the title."
Both knew that it was entirely Tommys fault but it was no use to bring up this topic. Nothing would change it anyways.
Nodding Tubbo took a deep breath. He did not think he was ready for so much conflict already again but Tommy was his best friend. He would help him regardless, no matter what they were up against just like in the old times.

"So, what is your plan then?"
"So first I need to find Feinberg. If I don't figure out where he is, I can't succeed."
That sounded logical but Tubbo did not see how this would help. Of course they had to find Feinberg but searching for him was not exactly what he would call a well structured plan.
Staring into the setting sun in silence for a couple of seconds they both followed their own thoughts.
Then Tubbo looked at his best friend, who looked shockingly worried. It looked as if his actions already caught up with Tommy and he realized how fatal his mistake might be for them and Newgate.
"How do we do that?"
"Listen Tubbo, I have an idea. Tomorrow new people will join and I think that one of them is going to be FireBreathMan. I hope that Fein will pick him up and this is how we can meet him."
"Okay, assuming we will find him, what do we do then? Kill him and take his stuff to prove it? I'll be honest, I still don't want to fight, let alone kill him. What if he is not guilty? Or what if he beats us? We lost a two vs one before and our equipment is not great."
Acknowledging that it would not be easy to convince his best friend of his plan, Tommy stood up to hit a zombey away from them. "Let's move up the tree", he said, building a straight tower upwards with Tubbo right beside him.
"We don't have to kill him. We might just bring him to the city and make him state his case in front of a court. Someone neutral can be the lawyer and Judge to make it fair for him. Fundy maybe", he suggested, trying to find a way both of them would be satisfied. He did not really want to kill Fein either and he was a little worried of fighting him too, especially knowing he might be allied with Fruitberries or other strong people. On the other hand, taking one of his lives probably would be the easiest way to solve his problems. He could become king, proving Dream wrong and gaining full control over the city that was rightfully theirs and simultaniously blame the explosions on somebody else.

Still Tubbo had his doubts. They had been discussing the matter for half the night, the sars were shining bright above their heads. The moon raced across the dark sky and the two of them had not come to an agreement.
Tommy had not been able to give any reasons for Feinberg to follow them to court, since he threatened them last time. That was plan was out of contention and they to come up with something else.
"I will challenge him to a duel."
"You will what?"
"Challenge him. To a duel in the arena in the middle of Newgate", Tommy repeated, sounding desperate to find a solution.
"That's suicide! You want to fight him alone? In a duell?" It was hard to believe what he just heard.
"No, no I don't. We will pretend that it is going to be a duell and then turn it into a courtroom. He will only have iron armor then and there is nothing he can do." The more Tommy spoke about his idea, the better it sounded in his ears. Again it was his best friend who was unsure.
"It reminds me of some other festival-scenarios from the past. In one of them I died."
"It won't be like that!", argued Tommy, although he had to admit some similarities. They would lure an innocent victim to, potentially, his death. Was there any other way? No! This was the only thing he could come up with and they needed to do this. Otherwise Sapnap would be the first king of Newgate and they could not let this happen!
"We have no choice. Feinberg needs to be brought to the city as soon as possible. We have only six days left, Tubbo. What else should we do?"
"I guess you are right, we have to try it. I don't like it, tho."

With that it was decided. Together they fought their way back to the city, killing skeletons and roaming spiders on the gravel paths leading to the gate.

By the time sun announced the arrival of a new day, Dream and his friends had spread the rumor of their beeing a king soon and made sure everyone also knew about Skeppys and Bads house, that was still no more then a few floating blocks and a crater that had not been filled yet.
To Tubbo it felt like everybody was looking at them, some curious, some angry and some afraid. Philza came to them, but Tubbo could not read his facial expression. Was he angry with them too?
Following him was Fundy, who looked horrified and exchanged a look with Tommy, who shook his head slightly. Did Tubbo miss something?
"Hey Phil, hi Fundy."
"Ähm, hi Tubbo! Heeeey, so how is it going?" Laughing nervously Fundy placed an arm around Tobys shoulders. "Bit of a tough situation you are in huh?"
"Kind of", he mumbled and sighed.
"So do you have a plan now? Do you need help?"
Looking at Phil, who just had offered his help, Tommy grinned. "Phil, do you know where the new people spawn? Tell us where, please!"
"Sure...why tho?", the older man asked skeptically, while beginning to walk out of the city. This early in the morning most people were still sleeping in their cozy beds.
Tubbo followed him and said: "We need to find Feinberg and he will be there, hopefully!"
"Ah yes, Feinberg. You need to prove yourself by punishing him for the TNT incident, right?"
"Tommy needs to do it. I still find it hard to believe he did it. But we have no choice anymore." An exhausted sigh left Tubbos lips as they came closer to the spawn.
"Who else could have?", Fundy asked next to him, smiling to cheer him up a little bit. "Don't worry, we will help you! We don't want to have Sapnap as a king either!"
"Yeah...thank you."
