My Family (Sally The Salmon)

♣ Chapter 33 ♣

TW//Explosions, Death

(3rd Person POV)

Sally watched, in the water, as the country dubbed L'manberg was slowly blowing up.

Fundy, who was beside her, had hugged her tightly. Niki joined the hug aswell.

Sally just watched and hugged them back. She didn't know what to feel. Upset, that her son and best friend are crying. Happy, that her husband had accomplished his goal. Or mad, like everyone else was.

Sally then felt a familiar feeling of freedom wash over her. A feeling that was refreshing enough that it calmed her down.

Then she scanned the area while doing a headcount.

Techno was unscathed and was on top of a building that was seemingly untouched by the explosion.

Tubbo had a little scars but, other than that, he was safe next to the railway.

Quackity seemed to have broken his ankle and had a few burns, but he was alright.

Eret's glasses had broken in the war. They're eyes revealed to be a pure white. It was strangely beautiful, though.

God knows where Jack Manifold is.

And Tommy had some burns and cuts but was, overall, fine.

And Niki and Fundy are right beside her.

She could care less about her enemies.

Then she felt something on her shoulder. A crow. A very familiar crow.

It moved to her finger and gave a few strange computer-like sounds. But she could understand what it was saying.

"QHAA AWOOK?"

Sally nodded and said "Yes. Where are they?"

The crow pointed it's head to a small square-shaped hole in a cliff where Wilbur and Phil were standing inside. "LJZRC CROIO, QHAA."

Wilbur was saluting while Phil was wide-eyed while covering his mouth. His right wing looked damaged, possibly from the explosion.

Then, Wilbur suddenly shouted out "My L'manberg, Phil!"

"My unfinished symphony! Forever unfinished! If I can't have this, no one can, Phil!"

Then, he looked at everyone's terrified expressions. Even Techno stared in shock.

He turned back to his father and said "Phil, kill me. Kill me. Stab me with a sword. Murder me now. Killza, Killza!" He shoved a diamaond sword in Phil's hands.

Sally's eyes widened at his words. Surely, he didn't mean that? And if he did, then Philza wouldn't do that? Right?

"Do it! Murder me! Look, they all want you to! Do it, Phil. Kill me now." Phil shook his head "No! You're my son!"

"No matter what you do I'll-" "Phil, just kill me! I was the traitor all along! I betrayed all of them! Kill me! You have to!"

Phil shook his head again. "No-" "Look, look! How much work went into this and it's gone! Do it!" He gestured to the now exploded L'manberg.

Phil held the sword in his hand. He glanced at the people. Everyone was terrified. Tommy was shouting "Don't do it!" Techno was unsure, Sally was frozen in her place, and so was Fundy.

Wilbur took advantage of Phil distractedness and hugged Phil, who was still holding the sword. Stabbing him through the stomach in the process.

Wilbur collapses while his dad holds him in his arms.

(Cringe warning)

"No!" Sally yelled. She took a pearl from her pocket and chucked it to their direction.

Phil moved a little so Sally can hold Wilbur. "My love..." He muttered. Blood was pouring from his mouth. Tears were flooding everyone's vision. (When I say 'Everyone', I mean the Pogtopians)

"No! Wilbur! You idiot!" She yelled as she held her husband, who was at his last breath. "Sally... You were always the one that made my life better... I love you..." He said it one last time.

Denial.

Sally shook her head. "No! Fuck you! You are not dying! I-I just h-have to..." She glanced at his stab wound. The wound was about 45 to 80 centimeters (18 to 31 inches) in length. And it was DEEP. We talking, it literally went right through him, deep.

So Sally couldn't do anything. Her husband is going to die. And he's going to die in her arms.

"D-Don't worry, I-I can do something! I-" Wilbur shushed her. "You don't need to, love. I'm free. I'm finally free." Sally shook her head. "I love you. And Fundy. And my brothers. And dad too." He smiled. Then his eyes started faltering "G-Goodbye, my love..." Then he closed his eyes.

Tommy was still in disbeleif "Wilbur?" He asked. He expected his brother to laugh at him. To tease him. To call him a child. To say 'I'm here, you idiot' but nothing came out of his brother's smiling mouth. Not even breaths.

"NO!!" Tubbo yelled, hands clasped over his mouth. "Dad!" Fundy yelled from the water. Niki hugged him.

Tommy pointed at Phil, his adoptive father, "You killed my brother! Phil! How could you?! Y-You were supposed to protect us!"

A single tear fell from Technoblade's face. Of course. What do you expect? Underneath all that tough exterior and insanely impressive PVP skills, Techno is still a person. His adoptive brother, one of the people that he spent half of his life with, is now dead. Of course he'd be upset.

But he wiped it off and walked in front of the now destroyed podium. Dream swept in and placed down an Enderchest for him. Techno narrowed his eyes at Dream before opening the chest.

Inside, he found 2 buckets of Soul Sand. And 6 Skeletal Skulls that were coal black. And two ribcages that were also coal black.

Techno took the two ribcages an placed them down. Once they were balanced, Techno took a handful of Soul Sand and sprinkled them in a circle around the two ribcages. Then he already put two heads on both the ribcages when Tommy noticed and yelled "TECHNO! STOP IT!"

Tommy's yell called the attention of everyone. Even the widowed Sally Minecraft. If she could even call herself a Minecraft anymore. With Wilbur went a part of her identity. Wilbur was the only thing that made her a Minecraft. Now that he's gone, will she still consider herself one?

That was VERY cringe.
