"I guess we're doing this, then." I said, changing into a black outfit. "Still don't see why all of this was that needed. It feels a little over the top."

It was finally a quarter to midnight. Arnold and I were getting ready to raid Noah's base and hopefully kill him. I had warned him earlier in the afternoon, but he thought I was joking around and didn't believe me.

"Let's get going. Yashi will kill us if we're late." And here we were, yet again. At the base of operations.
"Everyone ready?" she asked around.

"Ready as I'll ever be." Isaac replied. Tom had the compass and we were all right behind him. It pointed north, all the way to the snowy forest. Tom looked at the compass for a moment.
"Does it say west or-?" Tom said blankly.

"It says east! Stop wasting our time!" Hailey said. We did end up going east and found a house made of spruce wood. It looked normal-sized for a regular person. There also appeared to be a horse tied to a fence. Wait. That's Kai, Noah's horse. I'd heard that he was really fast and a rather prized possession.

A/N: a large bit of this is inspired by the animation Hog Hunt by Sad-ist, go check it out if you haven't, it's absolutely epic. RIP Techno, he was a legend.

"That should be it.." Arnold approached the house slowly, trying to make very little noise. "Should we go in?"
Noah instantly stepped out of the house, looking at us.

"You guys are early. I didn't you'd come for another half hour. Everyone drew their weapons out: axes, swords, bows, crossbows with fireworks, the usual. Noah looked at all of us. He took a deep breath, and said..

"If there's no other way.." He threw down his potions and his eyes glowed bright purple in the smoke. "I choose blood!"

"That's my line!" I heard Technoblade's voice coming from the sky.
"Sorry, I didn't know that."

Anyway, the smoke had surrounded us, as we squinted to find him in it. The fog disappeared after some time, and we saw Noah instantly started attacking Roman, who threw his trident at him and missed it.
"Yashi, do something!" he screamed. "Yashi!"

"Stop!" she saw them fighting and grabbed her axe.
"You get away from that horse, Yashi!" Noah turned to her. He pointed his sword at her.

"Noah, drop everything and I'll let the horse live. If not.. I'm going to kill this horse, right in front of your very eyes." He didn't hesitate, not even for a second and dropped all his stuff. We grabbed him and boated him over to WonderTopia, where he would be awaiting a trial in a few days. In the meantime, though, he was confined to his house in WonderTopia.

"So.. are we done here?" I said. "I've got a lot of other things to do other than hunt down innocent people."

"Innocent? Innocent? He made a huge crater near the flag! I wouldn't call that innocent if I were you. And no, you guys aren't done here, not yet. We'll need some help setting up an anvil trap to finish him off." Yashi explained.

"Okay then, I'll see you guys tomorrow." I walked off to my house.
"That was absolutely horrible. I can't believe we agreed to that." Arnold remarked.

"I know, Arnold. Heck, I even warned him. Now, I know, sounds a bit traitor-like of me-" I began.
"Traitor-like? You were just helping out a friend, from what I can tell. You're perfectly innocent in this case."

"Oh, alright. I was a bit worried there I'd get killed because of that."
"How's your wrist, by the way?"
"Feels a bit better than yesterday. Anyway, I'm headed to bed. See you in the morning."

-the next morning..-

"We just have to make an anvil trap to kill someone who's our ally, who we trusted and still do, how hard could that be?" I pointed out.

Apparently, very hard. This is Noah we're talking about, as if he'd make a giant crater in front of the flag on purpose! Now, he may have busted Samuel out of prison, but he could've been forced to!

Yeah, I should probably stop acting like an apologist.
"Where do we even start with this anvil thing?" Arnold scratched his head in confusion. "I don't know the first thing about redstone."

"Thankfully, I do. We can set up a redstone timer that gives Noah one minute until the anvil falls directly on him, thus killing him off." I explained the plan.

"That sounds good to me." Yashi instantly appeared at the execution area.
"What are you guys doing, chit-chatting? Get to work!"
"Talk about a dictator." I muttered.
"Do you think this'll work out fine?" I looked at the trap. It was surprisingly simple.

"It should, given we.. oh no." Arnold's face went pale. "We forgot to make the anvil a very damaged one so it breaks on impact and he can't just walk out free!"

"Surely we can fix it now?" I looked at the time. Only a half hour to the execution. We wouldn't be able to do it in time.

"There's no time. Yashi will kill us this time if we keep wasting time and messing around."

The next half hour was spent not doing anything and just worrying about everything that could go wrong. I checked the time for one last time.

It was time for the execution.
