My Greatest Enemy (Quacknoblade)

Chapter 1

Word Count: 1247

(Technoblade's POV)

Just another day for me, living far away from all the fighting and controversy of the government. It was freezing; living in snowy biomes were hard to survive, but it was the only way no one would find me.

True enough, Tubbo, Ranboo, Fundy and Quackity had found me, but I had taken care of them, and they wouldn't come back anytime soon.

I did miss the only friend I had: Philza. Phil had helped me so much; he had helped me escape.

Though I had isolated myself from the entire SMP, I knew it was for the best. I had many enemies and I wasn't going to risk it.

I wasn't sure what to make of Dream. He had helped me escape right? So what was not to trust? I was a little suspicious, so I tried not to think about him.

And Quackity. He'd thought that he could kill me that easily? I was Technoblade, the legend of Minecraft.

-flashback-

I had just escaped from the execution, when I saw Dream. He had helped me escape?! I didn't know what to make of it. Suddenly Dream had disappeared; I looked around for why, and saw the reason - Quackity.

"How the FUCK, how the HELL did that anvil not kill you?!" screamed Quackity, desperation and confusion etched into his face,

"Did you really think, Quackity, that you could kill me that easily?" I said, laughing; I knew this would make his anger ebb.

"How did you do it? What- how did you even do that?" he asked again, his voice quieter.

"You think death can stop me, Quackity? Y'know- Y'know what?! Y'know what, I've got- I've got a lot to say, okay?! I was gonna say it at the trial, but we got a little bit interrupted, Quackity. Y'know, I tried convincing you guys that government- that government was not the answer, that government was actually the cause of all your problems. Alright? I tried- I tried to convince you guys by fighting alongside you as brothers, and you just cast me aside, you used me, I tried to use force, and you STILL formed a government, and when I went into hiding, when I retired, when I swore off violence, you HUNTED ME DOWN, you HURT MY FRIENDS!" I shouted, my temper getting the better of me.

"You don't understand, Techno, you don't understand what we're trying to build here, Techno. This is not a- this is not a simple anarchy-thing, Techno. That's what you don't understand. Alright? Techno, do you really think I give a shit about the Withers? No. No. You are on the hitlist, Techno. You're on the fucking hitlist." he said, an evil smile on is face.

"What hitlist?" I said, disbelievingly.

"I'm building a country here. This is what- what we have out there is a country. And what we need here is organisation of power. And I don't care how long it fucking takes me, or what I have to do to get you, Techno... I'm going to fucking kill you. I am going to kill you, Technoblade." he said, though I did hear his voice falter a bit.

"I just have one question, Quackity," I said, trying to test his patience.

"What do you have?"

"Do you think you're enough to kill me? Even unarmed, with iron armour, do you really think YOU can take me?!" I asked, knowing well that I was definitely more skilled than him.

"Oh, I do. Y'know what? Let's fucking find out, you son of a BITCH!" he yelled, jumping forward.

It was intense; he was very skilled with an axe than I thought, though I soon got the better of him

"I have a pickaxe,"I screamed, "and I'LL PUT IT THROUGH YOUR TEETH! I'LL PUT IT THROUGH YOUR TEETH, QUACKITY!"

-end of flashback-

Though, part of me had felt a twinge of regret for putting a pickaxe through his teeth, but I had to do it for my safety. It was eat or be eaten nowadays.

I went back to farming my potatoes, I groomed Carl, my trustworthy horse, and just the daily jobs I had to do. I remembered the day when Quackity had threatened to kill Carl. This made me consider whether Quackity was actually acting on orders or his own accord.

A few hours passed and I suddenly heard some trudging in the snow in the distance. I was shocked. No one but Phil knew where I lived, and as far as I knew, Phil would never betray me.

I grabbed my most powerful netherite sword, Orphan Obliterator, and I faced the snowy hills, scanning the snowy landscape for the intruder.

It was Quackity.

I unsheathed my sword, ready to fight him; he probably wanted revenge for me killing him the last time.

But when he came into clearer sight, he wasn't wielding a weapon; in fact, he had a shulker box in his arms, and his clothes were torn every here and there.

"Technoblade! Technoblade?" he was shouting.

I sheathed my sword and stood there utterly confused. Why was Quackity running towards me without any type of weapon? He knew I was capable of killing in one motion.

"Technoblade!" he said, as he saw me. I noticed a scar, trailing from his teeth up to his eye

He came closer, though not too close, as if scared I would kill him.

"What do you want, Quackity?" I asked, eyeing him with suspicion.

"I'm not here to kill you, I mean it," he said.

"Okay..." I said, still unsure whether to trust him or not.

"No seriously, there's a crisis out there right now," he said. "No, not L'Manberg and the government," he added hastily, seeing the look on my face; it was general knowledge that I hated anything to do with the government or politics.

"What then?" I asked, brushing my pink hair out of my face. I saw his eyes trail up to my face for a short second but he recovered from it quickly.

"The Egg," he said. I was very bewildered. An egg? An egg had caused a crisis?

"Not just any egg," Quackity said. "Bad discovered it in his basement and showed everyone he could find and... well it's affected some people's behaviour. Now they're killing people because they're a 'threat' to the egg. Bad has Ant and Punz on his team. They've named their nation the 'Eggpire'."

"Oh..." I said. That did seem like a big crisis. But I had one more question. "Quackity... why did you come to me? We're... enemies you know."

Quackity took a deep breath.

"Look, I'm sorry for what I did to you Technoblade. But we've got to, we've got to work together here. The Eggpire have targeted me because its power hasn't worked on me. They've targeted to kill me. L'Manberg isn't safe anymore. You're the strongest man on the server, so I thought you could help?" he said, and I could see sincerity in his eyes.

I decided to give him another chance, and I knew what he was gonna ask.

"Technoblade... Can I stay with you at your cabin? I promise all I wasn't is for you to help me take down the Eggpire, and I don't have a place to stay..."

His voice trailed off.

"Yes Quackity, you can. On one condition. You help me with some daily chores," I said, hoping he wouldn't object.

"Thanks Technoblade! I will help you the most I can," he said, a faint smile on his face.

"And," I said, pausing as if contemplating my choices," Call me Techno."
