(Quackity's POV)

The morning came soon enough, and, again, Techno was awake before me.

We went outside, where, for once it wasn't snowing, and he took me to his auto-farm, which was under a vast canopy which stretched for what seemed like miles.

I was truly amazed that Techno had been able to build this all with only the help of Phil, who was also very busy at the time.

"Oh shoot, I've forgotten my netherite hoes; wait let me go and get them," Techno said suddenly, changing direction and walking over to the cabin once more.

"What? Why do you need netherites hoes? You could just use a diamond one," I asked, tagging along with him; after all, it was quite a long way away and I didn't have a hoe either.

"Well, first of all, it is quite important to have a good strong hoe to till land," he started. "And secondly, who doesn't want the achievement?" he said laughing. I smiled, knowing the weird achievement that you could get.

After we stopped at the cabin to get tools, we headed back to the farm, where Techno showed me all of his crops.

I saw that there were every crop, and anything that was edible, that could exist.

There were wheat, carrots, beetroots in one corner, and potatoes in the other. In another corner were sweet berries, pumpkins and melons. I also spotted cocoa beans on some jungle wood in a corner. In all the other empty spaces were sugar cane, trees dotted around and random cacti on sand.

I didn't even question anymore, as I knew Techno had done this by himself.

"What are we doing today then?" I asked; everything seemed to be in order.

"We need to harvest the melons and replant them," Techno explained.

He walked over to the melon nearest him and split it open with his netherite axe. Then he collected some seeds and replanted them, and also picked up the slices of melon and gave half of them to me.

"There, that can be our breakfast," he said, eating his share of the melon. I smiled.

Soon we had cut down all the melons that had grown, leaving the ones still growing, and stored them in our inventories, also replanting them as we went.

After a long walk back to the cabin, we sat down to start planning to take down the Eggpire, but we were interrupted before we could do so.

The same pigeon from yesterday was flying outside, a letter tied to its leg.

Techno hurriedly went to open the window and the bird flew inside and landed on the table.

"Do you have Philza's reply?" he asked, and the pigeon hopped around in response.

He gently untied the letter from its leg and gave it some wheat and pumpkin seeds as a reward. The pigeon pecked at the various seeds on the table, and I laughed in response.

It gave one more glance toward me and Techno, and flew out of the window.

"Let's read the letter, shall we?" Techno said to me absent-mindedly, unfolding the letter. I recognised Phil's neat handwriting, and we both began to read silently.

Dear Techno,

I am fine, thank you for asking. But everyone here, including me - and you too when I tell you - are in great sorrow.

Dream is in prison, as you know, and Tommy went to visit him, but the prison was put on full lockdown and Tommy was forced to stay in the very cell Dream was in.

Tommy, I am very sad to say, was killed by the very hands of Dream, and he only had one life left, so he is gone permanently from this world.

I'm sure you feel more sorrow than anyone, as he was your younger brother, and so do I; he was my son.

Everyone here is mourning, except for the ruthless Eggpire. They are celebrating, as Tommy did not see any potential in the Egg, and wasn't drawn in by it, so they're happy, as Tommy was a large threat to the Egg, having known some of the plans that Bad had told him.

I daresay you know about all the horrendous plans they are making, such as the Red Banquet, and I wish you luck on defeating them.

A great warrior like you will be able to take them down alongside Quackity. If he's with you right now, reading this - Quackity, I wish you luck as well, and may good defeat evil once and for all.

That's all from me. Again, good luck, both of you, and I hope to see you both in person soon.

Your Companion,

Philza

I stared up at Techno in silence. His brown eyes were filled with tears.

"Techno- I," I began, but was cut off by him.

"We need to take down the Eggpire, even if it's the last thing I do," he said, pure menace in his eyes. "We need to bring Bad and the others back to normal; this can't go on forever."

Upon hearing about Tommy's death, I was very distraught, and I could tell Techno was distressed, but nevertheless, we both sat down and began to plan.

"We have to go undercover; Bad doesn't know where we are right now..." I said, wondering.

Techno sat in silence; I figured he was thinking about what to do.

"You said we had Purpled on our side?" he said, after a few minutes of silence.

"Yeah, and Bad doesn't know he's turned on him,"I said.

"That could be of use, Purpled is good at secrecy," he said, deeply thinking.

"Well, surprise is a large factor, we could use that to our advantage. I think we give him one last chance, but if he doesn't budge, then we bring Purpled out, and while he's surprised, we could plan something..." he said.

After an hour we had a decent plan that we would tell Purpled about by letter tomorrow. I had highly underestimated Techno's intelligence; he was very skilled at planning, and had sat deeply in thought for almost the entire time.

"Well," Techno said. "We have a plan."
