(Third Person)
Silence. Quackity stood in shock. He knew that the Eggpire was brutal, but not willing to go this far - as far as to murder one of their friends.
Techno whispered, "Quackity, you need to get ready."
Quackity nodded, still blinded by shock, and geared himself up with potions and his weapons.
"Excellent, excellent," Bad started. "I really appreciate you guys following the directive and not bringing any weapons: that's very courteous of you."
"WE TRUSTED YOU BAD!" Puffy said, loudly.
"Well, that was your first mistake!" he laughed. Quackity felt sick.
"What- do you, do you really think we were going to just stop trying to spread the Egg's influence over the server, just because a couple people got mad at the vines? Like- come on! That's been the objective all along- is to hatch the Egg! The Egg wants power and its gonna to get it!" he continued.
Still silent. No one talked. Then suddenly-
"Alright, stop! Stop, stop, stop! I have had enough!" Foolish shouted, taking a stand. "I am sick of this foul, red stench, I am TIRED of this endless cycle of Egg-nonsense, I tried — WE tried to give this dreadful Egg another chance! But it's probably best it ends this way. Shielding itself against TNT? That was impressive. Unexpected, no doubt. But can it withstand... a barrage of lightning?"
He brought down his trident, but nothing happened.
"Hm... Huh! Interesting!" Bad said mockingly.
"I don't... I don't understand... Why... Why isn't it working...?" said Foolish, backing away slowly, fear in his voice.
Bad laughed maniacally.
"You really thought, Foolish... You thought you could enter the Egg's domain and- and beat it in a battle of power? Come on." said Bad, with the air of a person teaching a toddler that 1 plus 1 was 2 and not 3.
"I... I... I thought..."
"You're in the Egg's territory, Foolish. Oh, you know what?" Bad started.
"I... I don't understand, it's... it's suppressing me..." Foolish said quietly.
"Bad, why don't we start with Foolish instead?" suggested Ant, grinning.
"I think I like that..." Bad said, pondering.
"WOAH, NO NO NO NO NO NO! NO!" yelled Puffy; Foolish was her son.
Bad walked closer to Eret.
"We'll save the monarchy for later. Don't think we've forgotten about you, Eret. But we can start with Foolish!" he said, happily.
"You two: Bad, Ant, this is your last chance with me- your very, very last cha- I am DONE after this," Puffy shouted, threateningly.
"What're you going to do; you're weak, you have nothing. Puffy- you were a part of the Eggpire, you could have prevented this," Ant said.
"AND LOOK WHAT YOU ALL TURNED INTO! I did what I needed to- to make sure that everyone else was protected, because all you and Bad care about is the Egg and yourselves, you're selfish," Puffy shouted.
"Because of you, Foolish is now stuck in here!" Ant said.
"NOT BECAUSE OF ME! Because of YOU!" said Puffy.
"This IS because of you! You left the Eggpire, you betrayed us first, Puffy!" Ant said. "And look at you now, Puffy. You tried to protect everybody, well look where everybody is, look behind you! Everybody behind you is defenceless! They're about to be slaughtered because of you! Foolish, your own SON is about to be slaughtered because of you!"
"I'm only one person!" cried Puffy.
"Puffy... Puffy, it's okay. It's not your fault," Foolish said quietly.
"NO! IT'S NOT ALRIGHT!"
"Puffy, you could've stopped this if you'd stayed with the Eggpire. This is your fault."
Ant drew out his enchanted diamond sword, and with two swift swings, Foolish's stuff lay in a ring on the floor, his dead body disappearing.
"WHAT?! NO!"
Everyone screamed, overlapping each others' voices. Quackity knew that he was about to come out of the little room they had made.
"HOW COULD YOU?!" Eret screamed
"FOOLISH!" Niki cried.
"YOU MONSTER!" said Fundy.
"That's one down... And a couple more people to go!" Bad laughed loudly. "Who should we do next? What do you think?"
It was time. Before they could kill anyone else, Quackity gave Purpled and Techno one last look and left the safety of their makeshift camp, coming out into the open.
"BAD STOP!"
"Wha-"
"STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING RIGHT NOW! STOP! Stop it. Hey- Hey, hey, hey, relax. Relax Bad," Quackity said.
"QUACKITY!?" Bad shouted in confusion. "I am calm."
"I know what you're doing here, but stop right now, stop right now. Look at what you've done here Bad, this is- this is impressive, I'm not gonna lie, this is quite impressive, everything you've done here- you have to stop right now Bad. You have to stop," Quackity sighed.
"Stop?" questioned Bad.
"This whole Egg-thing is just getting out of control, you've just killed a man. Is that what you wanted to do, Bad? Is that-" Quackity chuckled. "-Was that your plan all along? To kill innocent people? 'Cause guess what, this has gotten... completely out of control. And I'm not gonna have anymore, Bad. You're gonna stop this shit, right now. You're gonna stop right now, Bad."
"Oh you think- You think putting on armour is gonna stop us. Quackity, why do you think we went through all of this effort! You- You looked around and you saw how amazing everything is here. All of this... was for the Egg. And not just for the Egg, for what the Egg is going to give us. Okay? You can't give us what the Egg can give us! Okay? So don't get in our way, don't try and stop us, because you can't. We're too powerful, Quackity." Bad said, laughing.
"Bad, look- look what you've done! Just look what you've done! You've trapped all these people, all these innocent people, in- (stammering) in what you've disguised as a party? Is this what you've been doing? Look at this, Bad. Just... What have they done to you? I'm telling you, Bad, you're a pawn to... power, you're nobody, Bad. You're working for something that... quite frankly, doesn't even care about you. I mean, look at the Egg, look at the Egg, look at what it means, it doesn't mean anything! It doesn't mean anything, Bad. So how about... How 'bout we just stop playing games?" Quackity said, trying to get through to Bad one last time.
"I can't stop Quackity, you know why I can't stop," said Bad
"You're not like this," Quackity urged.
"Yes I am," he replied defiantly.
"So how bout', I'm gonna tell you one more time. You and all your buddies here, drop your weapons, and leave, and let all these people go," said Quackity, trying to remain calm.
"No. You drop your weapons, and you prepare. If you wanted to stop us, you should've brought more than just yourself. You should have brought an army with you," sneered Bad.
"Guess what Bad, I did! I did. In fact, I brought the next best thing."
Quackity waited for Techno to come through the gap behind the Egg, and just that he did.
"I brought my biggest enemy!" Quackity laughed, while Bad gasped at the sudden sight of Techno. "Hahaha, I literally brought my biggest enemy, Bad!"
