I- hoW, how does this have 1k reads? slowly, i became more sleep deprived when writing this. Final chapter that ain't prologue or epilogue guys.
---------------------------------

Schlatt stepped out of where he was prepping to stand by his good friend. As he did, however, a hint of gold or something like that could be seen slipping into his suit's pocket. He indicated a thumbs up to Techno who nodded. Whatever the golden thing was, it was known by both of them, "Remember, pretend," Techno spoke. Schlatt nodded. It was a cryptic message, sure, but it was one both of them understood.

The two looked at the group before them. Techno raised his sword behind his head and chucked it at them, jumping up to grab it as the sword grazed Skeppy's side, 'He's not throwing punches randomly, he's being rational about it,' Mega thought, wincing from his earlier injuries. Techno grabbed his sword and turned around, dodging a slash from Bad.

Mega didn't move for a second before looking at the others, "Guys, stop. Stop slashing wildly. He's being strategic," that, that wasn't sign language. His voice was hoarse, clearly he hadn't used it in years.
"Wait... you can talk?" Skeppy asked, holding his side with the graze, Mega resisting the urge to facepalm.
"Yes, you idiot, of course he can speak," Zelk spoke.
"So, someone in this group is actually observant. What a surprise. Schlatt," Techno taunted before saying his ally's name.

Schlatt drew his bow back and fired. The group stepped to the side. Good. What they didn't see, was that there was a deep red on the end of the arrow as it hit Techno in the shoulder. It slowly sort of decayed into him. Eventually, he had essentially absorbed the arrow and red swirls formed around him, "Is that-?" Bad asked. He didn't need an answer.
"STREEEEENNNGGGGTHH!" Techno yelled. It made all of them freeze. Both out of fear, and sadness. For a second, they thought nothing had changed and Techno was still their Techno. Yet, that fantasy was crushed when they realised where they were and what happened. Their Techno was GONE and they had to face the facts.

But that brought out an even bigger question. Was their Techno even the real Techno? Or was it just an act by the pig? That didn't matter. They couldn't get distracted. I mean, they had to beat him and stop him from literally destroying the world. They didn't have time to ponder such stupid questions as if Techno was just putting an act on the entire time.

Bad slashed yet again, Techno clashing his blade against Bad's. He dragged the sword down and the blades unclashed(new word guys). Techno's ears twitched as he heard somebody move. Pig senses man, they're OP. He was ready to block, defend or dodge. But he only smiled when he realised what happened.

Schlatt was struck with Mega's sword and was flung back. As he was doing so, he touched the golden thing in his pocket. His body crashed against the wall and the golden thing disappeared, or did he put it further into his pocket? God knows. Anyway, he slumped down to the ground, "Did- did you just kill him-?" Skeppy asked. That was sick, but something even sicker was that Techno wasn't even phased by his best friend dying. It only spurred him on further.

He jumped over them to where Schlatt was slumped and grabbed his bow from the business man's hand along with an arrow. He quickly loaded the bow and fired behind him, the arrow knocking Skeppy back, "Five against one and you're banking on a surprise attack? I expected more from you lot," the pig taunted once more. He walked forward, wielding both Schlatt's bow and his own sword.
"Dammit, remember, he's also good with a bow," Skeppy spoke.
"Yeah, we can see that," Zelk responded.
"Let's worry about that later, we need to win this, dammit," a6d spoke.

The five ran together, right at Techno. Who gives a damn if it was unplanned, they had to improvise when their opponent was practically immortal. Techno got ready to block, he knew an arrow couldn't be enough to stop all of them. He was able to block three of their swings but two he couldn't and their swords collided with his chest. He stumbled back, "Dammit," he mumbled, his jacket ripped slightly.
"How was that not enough to knock him unconscious?" Skeppy asked.
"He's pretty resilient, you know," Zelk responded, Mega nodded. It seemed after that one short setence of his, he had remained silent.
"He could have some secret armour we don't know about," Bad suggested.
"Don't be stupid, like hell I need a armour against you guys. You're weaker than most sky wars or bed wars players I play against," Techno laughed. The five went again, as he was laughing, and struck him with all five blades.

The pig flew back and hit the wall, coughing up blood. He bounced forward and landed on his chest, his eyes shutting, "Did- did we also kill him?" Bad asked.
"No, he made it pretty damn obvious that he is immortal, we just knocked him out. I don't think he'll wake up from THAT any time soon," a6d answered, looking at the unconscious pig, his crown knocked off of his head.
"Let's get the hell out of here then," Zelk spoke, "I don't want to be in here anymore."
"I agree with Zelk, this place gives me the creeps," Bad spoke.

Mega wiped a bit of blood off of his mouth and nodded at the other four. They all walked out together, leaving the unconscious body of Techno and the corpse of Schlatt behind them. Hopefully, this was the end of the two, well, more than likely. Techno would have to build his group from ground up and they doubted this would happen, who the hell would listen to a deranged pig about destroying the damn world.

(time skip. yes, I'm sinking this low)

The group reached the giant home of Skeppy, yes the owner had named it that way. Almost immediately, all of them crashed on the many chairs in the lounge, "We need a first aid kit and some time to rest," Zelk spoke soon afterwards.
"I mean, this seems like a dream, Techno, betraying us like that? Just... doesn't feel real, you know?" Skeppy sighed.
"Yeah. We were all friends with him, but you knew him longer than the rest of us, Skeppy," Bad responded.
"Yeah, for a few years if I remember correctly," the blue male agreed, nodding his head.
"Can you believe he also got SCHLATT to join him. Like, he's Schlatt," a6d pointed out.
"They were always good friends, though. After week six the two really got along," Zelk responded.
"That's true, I guess they must've shared the same views," Skeppy leaned back in his chair.

Mega entered the room, carrying the first aid kit. Apparently, he had gotten up to get it. He walked over to Skeppy and grabbed a plaster from it, covering the graze with said plaster. He then covered his own wound with a bandage, letting out a sigh, "Is Mega the healer now?" Zelk joked, the group letting out a faint laugh. They needed these laughs now, they had been through a lot in the past day or so.
"How long were we even in there?" Skeppy asked, leaning back in his chair.
"Dunno, really," a6d answered.
"Way to be helpful," Skeppy then laughed. They had no need to be serious, the threat was gone. They didn't have to worry about some world ending apocalypse that an old friend of theirs caused or anything.
"But it must've been for some time. Dream got home and it was some trek from here to the base," Bad pointed out.
"Yeah, a few hours to a day I'd say," Zelk added on. Mega nodded, still not speaking.

"Well, let's go get a celebratory meal, I don't know about you, but I'm hungry!" Skeppy announced.
"You're always hungry, Skeppy," Bad responded.
"Shut up! No I'm not!" Skeppy fake-whined.
"I'm with bad on this one," Zelk laughed.
"My own admin! Betraying me! I can't believe this!" Skeppy gasped in shock. The group stood up and exited. And off they went, closing the book on their first true adventure in this world that they hadn't experienced before in, say, SMP or single player modes, like beating the ender dragon and wither for example.
