And before him, their bows all poised to fire flaming arrows, are Sapnap, Quackity, and Sam. Puffy and Tubbo on one side, with Tommy glaring over Tubbo’s head from behind them Ant, Ponk, and Fundy on the other when he glances over his shoulder, he sees Jack, Eret, and Foolish, the latter two shining gold in the afternoon sun. Seconds before the potion effects fade away, he catches multiple spots of swirling, pale blue particles, tinted yellowish by the sunlight.Īnd then he’s surrounded. He flinches back, spinning to see where it came from. He narrows his eyes, ears twitching-Ī flaming arrow whizzes past his head and embeds into the tree branch less than two inches from his face. He’s about to turn away, maybe take stock of his inventory again, when the flowers and grass shift oddly about twenty feet away. Ranboo watches them leave, back through the flower field, and then pulls himself back into his tree. Purpled flashes a grin over his shoulder. “Don’t tell anyone you saw me,” he warns as the mercenaries turn away. Distantly, Ranboo wonders if they’ve practiced that. Each of them run quick fingers over the stacks, making sure that everything is there, and then tuck the blocks away into their inventory nearly in sync. If they had anything else to say, Ranboo cuts it off by handing them and Purpled their payment. Ranboo pulls out his pickaxe and breaks the ender chest as an excuse to not look at the faint frown on Punz’s face. Punz is less cocky, studying Ranboo with their head tilted. If you break it, I won’t hesitate to kill you.” “We won’t, don’t worry.” Punz traces an idle finger over the gold chain holding their medallion. When I call in the favor, you have to do it. As he collects the blocks into his inventory, he says, “Remember. Ranboo shakes, then repeats the gesture with Purpled. “It looks like you have yourself a deal, Ranboo.” Purpled and Punz exchange a look Punz drops their hand from their sword and holds it out. “How fucking rich are you,” Purpled mutters under his breath, almost too low for Ranboo to hear. How about a stack of emerald blocks, half a stack of gold and iron, and a quarter stack of diamonds?” “How about.half a stack of emerald, gold, and iron blocks and a quarter stack of diamond blocks. He runs his claws gently over the stacks of precious metals and gems. With a wave of his hand, his ender chest appears on the grass before him, and he kneels to open it, keeping one eye on the two waiting mercenaries. Ranboo studies them and Purpled for a moment longer before he sighs. Punz tilts their head in agreement, hand resting casually on the hilt of their sword. Easy to pay off, if you have enough money. “I mean, you’ll find out when I tell you.” He’s not actually sure what he’ll need, yet, but he needs to have an ace up his sleeve just in case, and mercenaries are the best bet for that. “I.am going to ask you guys for a preemptive favor.”
Just.just had to be sure.” Ranboo swallows. “Come on, man, you think we wouldn’t notice?” Punz and Purpled exchange a look Purpled scoffs. He swallows down the bitterness on his tongue. Neither of them have ever looked at him like that before. Punz and Purpled stop a few yards away, faces apathetic but eyes wary. As they get closer, drops from the tree he’d been resting in. He chokes down an incredulous laugh as two figures, one white and one purple, approach through the flower fields. It’s only been a day since he woke up with dynamite burning in his hand.
Ranboo hadn’t slept that night, too terrified that he’d enderwalk and wake up in prison. It is morning by the time Purpled and Punz arrive. Beneath his tunic, the gold medallion flashes as a new symbol engraves itself into the metal. Punz collects his share with a bemused smile and pulls out his communicator. Inside the chest the note appeared with, there is half a stack of emerald blocks. Find the big hole, it shouldn’t be too hard.Ĭonsider the emeralds a down payment.
