Spoilers! It is.

TW/CW: mentions of past trauma, swearing

(Mikey)

So the four of us followed Eryn around as he tried to remember where he got separated from his friends.

Yeah turns out...

We really shouldn't have let him lead.

"I think it's this way...No wait! It's the other direction. Umm...maybe this way...no we already passed that cobblestone block," he muttered.

John groaned at this.

"We're supposed to meet up with the others in the SMP but we're wasting time," he said.

"Well we can't let someone young all by themselves especially if they're lost. Look Eryn has a literally baby in his arms, we can't do that. We're the adults and we're supposed to be responsible," I snapped.

"He does bring up a fair point but we're not exactly what you call responsible," Jack noted.

"You're far more responsible than most of the adults on the server that my friends and I used to be in," Eryn stated.

Wait what?

"Eryn, what do you mean by that?" I asked.

"Well I kind of just joined but I heard traumatizing stories that my friends went through. Tommy especially. Poor guy. He has been exiled from the now destroyed country with nobody but the guy who gave him Stockholm Syndrome for company and also gained depression because of it. Tubbo has been given the role of president at such a young age and was the one who was forced to do the decision of exiling his best friend. Ranboo...I actually don't remember what caused him his trauma but it was bad and Purpled was kind of forced to join a country. I can't give the full details of what happened but just know that it's bad," Eryn explained.

This shocked me.

Eryn looks young and he did mention that his friends were young.

To think that young people like them, no kids like them! To think that kids like them went through something that only we four adults can't even nightmare about it made me feel not very good inside.

"I think I see them," Eryn pointed to a group of distressed boys.

"ERYN YOU F*CKING PRICK!" The blond boy with a white small streak in his hair yelled and ran up to him.

"Hullo Tommy," Eryn smiled.

"Don't you 'hullo Tommy' me, you son of a b*tch! Why did you wander off like that? And with Micheal! Do you know how stressed Tubbo and Ranboo were for him!" Tommy snapped.

"No but I'm pretty sure that they were rather stressed," Eryn noted.

Tommy began to shout very vulgar things at him.

Should he really be shouting such things in front of a baby? I thought as I looked at Micheal.

"And who the f*ck are these people!" Tommy pointed to us.

"This is Mikey, that's John, he's Jack and he is Couriway. They helped me find you lot," Eryn explained.

"Oh well thank you for bringing him to us but now we must go. Bye bye. Hope to never see you all again," Tommy waved while dragging Eryn to the group where he was previously at.

"Hey wait! I have something to say," John immediately said.

"What!" Tommy asked, turning around as quickly as he can.

John fiddling with his fingers for a bit.

I swear that I never saw him this intimidated by a teenager. Maybe Tommy has that intimidating charm.

"It's best if you bring the rest of your group here," John said.

Tommy rose an eyebrow before motioning the rest of the boys over.

"What are you doing?" I whispered to John.

"You'll see," he whispered back.

"MICHEAL!" Two boys yelled and I flinched at this.

Then I realized that they were talking about the baby zombie piglin and not me.

The smaller of the two took Micheal from Eryn and hugged him tightly.

The taller of the two started to lecture Eryn about running away with his child.

The purple hoodie boy was just chilling, watching the chaos unfold. The dog had a similar expression that the boy had but more dog like.

Anyway the boy known as Tommy glared at John with his arms folded.

"Now what?" He asked.

"I, Pokémen7 also know as John, has decided to invite...what are your guy's names first?" John asked.

"Like we tell random strangers our names!" Tommy snapped.

"The angry blond is Tommy, the smaller goat hybrid is Tubbo, the tall half enderman, half who the f*ck knows is Ranboo and the purple hoodie guy is Purpled," Eryn explained, pointing to each.

"WHAT THE F*CK!" Tommy shouted.

"Alright I'm starting all over! Give me a second," John said.

"Take your time John," Couriway said.

"Ahem. I, Pokémen7 also known as John, invite Tommy, Tubbo, Ranboo, Purpled, Eryn, Micheal the second, the large spider in the glass cage next to Tommy and the dog that Purpled has to the server called the PokéSMP. You can reject this invitation," John said, formally.

...

"Heh?" Tommy looked confused.

"We kind of literally just met...although we don't really have a plan on where to go," Tubbo muttered.

"Well I think we should go but you guys are already pissed at me so I'll keep my mouth shut. Starting...now," Eryn said.

"Well I'm with Tubbo. Can we talk about this and for how long?" Purpled asked.

"Well I mean you can think about this for as long as you want until you make up your decision. It's up to you honestly," John shrugged.

"Well fair enough," Purpled said.

"Here. I'll whitelist you guys in case you agree and here's my member address so we can communicate with the coms," John said and pulled up his communicator.

"Ok cool," Tubbo said.

"So let us know if you're interested," John told them.

The boys looked at each other before slowing walking away. Some of them waved goodbye at us.

"John...what was that?" Jack asked.

"Well they probably don't have any place to go so I figured that we should give them an option for them to stay. Besides, their old home seems to be...not the best place to live for them," John replied.

"Well I mean true but they don't seem to trust us. Only Eryn appears to trust us fully," I pointed out.

"At least Tubbo and Purpled are considering it. Not sure about the other two," Couriway said.

"Well whatever happens, I hope those guys would be ok in their lives from now on," I said.

"Ok good. Now come on, everyone else is waiting," John turned heel and walked towards the PokéSMP server portal.

The three of us followed him.

A/N: oh yeah it's all coming together now

The whole member address thing was inspired by the .hack animes. They are an interesting anime I'll tell you. Think Sword Art Online but early 2000's.

Also quick question.

Which of the starters seems to fit each member? Any suggestions?

Cya in the next one -Flare
