Techno grabbed everything he needed- including an axe along his back- a crossbow- a sack full of golden apples- potions on his belt- sword on his hip- anything he might've needed- he took about four guards with him- they went to the portal- it was for communal use- though it was guarded- they walked through the village- they stopped at the portal- the swirling echoes that came from the purple abyss had haunted Techno- he was so afraid- that if he walked through that portal- he'd never come back- but he took a deep breath- he was an adult now- he could handle it- i can handle it, he thought to himself- the voices were silent- his anxiety overtaking even them, but his friend needed him- and he wasn't going to let him down- he remembered the fear in his eyes- though it was a strange kind of fear- "sir?" The guards asked he nodded and took a deep breath- he stepped forward- taking in the last rays of sunlight- closed his eyes and walked through- the head splitting echoes in his ears- though only for a few moments when he opened his eyes- he was back where he never thought he'd be again- hell- he thought to himself-

Techno inhaled the suffocating smell of smoke filling his lungs though it was all to familiar to him- "watch your backs men- the mobs in this hellscape- are not friendly"

The entourage walked through the nether- the lava bubbled, fires scattered across the ground- distant sounds of ghasts making the guards jump- "trust me- those floating balls of gas are the least of your worries-" Techno told the men- while he had his head on a swivel- making sure he wasn't going to be ambushed- the piglins had a habit of ambushing- he'd been in on many- till- it happened-

They walked for about day, without so much of an attack from a hoglin-

Techno was avidly watching- till it got quiet to- quiet- they were walking through the warped forest- the tall blue trees surrounded them- along with the blue vines growing up out of the ground- he halted the men then looked around- his hand on the hilt of his sword- it was silent- still- he reluctantly told the group to walk forward- then- a Techno saw a shimmer of gold- and felt a blade on his neck- he stopped- he looked over and saw a piglin wearing a brown robe- gold belt- rings around his tusks- his eyes a deathly cold white- a long gold blade in his hand- he looked deep into the piglins white eyes- Techno seemed to be speaking to him without using words he never even blinked- the piglin backed off- and sheathed his sword- Techno talked to him in their language- which seemed to just be a series of grunts and grumbles- before they knew it they were surrounded- one piglin made his way to the front of the crowd- he wore a gold shining crown- He wore a regal blue suit- definitely different from the rest of the piglins- a gold nose ring- gold earrings with gems embedded in them- "Technoblade-" he said in a higher voice- speaking in English- Techno looked utterly shocked- the piglin standing in front of him- was one he knew- one he- he used to call family- "Cyberknife?" He asked- "that's king Cyberknife to the likes of you Techno" he said in a huff-

The guards looked completely shocked- "king? What happened to-" Cyberknife cut him off- "he's dead- died years ago" he snapped

Techno sighed- "I'm sorry Cyber-" he quieted- "Shut up Techno- you were banished years ago- I never even thought I'd see your face again-" he snarled

Techno held his head down- trying to remember what he was there for- "ok Cyber whatever- I only need to get blaze rods- and from what I hear- you aren't letting anyone pass-" he told them- Cyber looked puzzled- "what do you mean I'm not letting anyone pass- I've never turned anyone away-" Techno was confused- "what do you mean- I've been told you won't let anyone into the fortress-" Techno said dumbfounded- Cyber rolled his eyes- "that gives me nothing- how would that benefit me- making an enemy of the overworld isn't very smart- especially with you on their side-" Cyber said crossing his arms- Techno was so confused- Bad had lied to him- something was up- there was something else going on- and he believed Cyber because- it did make no sense why would he take away all the supply of the blaze rods-

He looked around he was surrounded by piglins

He sent the guards for the blaze rods- "Cyber- I hope one day we can amend our differences-" he reached his hand out for a hand shake- but Cyber just stuck his nose up at it- Techno sighed and pulled back- "but for now I have to make sure my kingdom and brothers are safe-" he said as he started running back home- "I thought I was your brother!" Cyber yelled with hate in his voice- Techno sighed- and turned around- "Cyber- I-" he paused, "Nothing I say will convince you- that what they told you I did I didn't do" he sighed- Cyberknife just crossed his arms and looked at him coldly- Techno shook his head and started running back home- something was up- someone was lying- wether it was a guard lying to Bad- or Bad lying to Techno- either way something was going on and it wasn't good.

Meanwhile at home- Wilbur was lying in a medward bed unconscious- his shoulder and chest wrapped with bandages-
