Generation Loss (COMPLETE!)

Rescue Part 2

We continued to explore the mall searching for the rest of the Cricket Crew, Sneeg, Charlie, and Niki. In reality, we were just wandering aimlessly while calling the names of our missing friends. "We're never gonna find them at-" "Sh, sh, sh, sh, shh! Do you hear that?!" I shushed, interrupting Ranboo's statement, revealing my wolf ears, and listening. Sure enough, there was a distant frustrated shout and a chain of swear words.

"This way!" I ushered, motioning for them to follow me. We went a bit further and the swearing and shouting got louder as we rounded a corner. Wilbur's face lit up when he recognized his younger brother's voice. We ran up to the stall Tommy's voice was coming from. "Tommy!" Wilbur exclaimed, running over to where Tommy was sitting in a concession stand that was set up to look like the setup Tommy had in his room. Tommy had his headset on and seemed to be streaming. "Tommy? Hello?" Wilbur waved his hand in front of Tommy's face. Strangely, Tommy didn't respond as he continued talking and streaming. "It's his headphones, we need to remove them," Ranboo explained, jumping over the counter and pulling off the headset. 

"What the heck?" Tommy huffed, looking around at us confused. "WHERE AM I?!" He panicked. "Tommy, thank Irene you're alright!" Wilbur exclaimed, jumping over the counter and hugging his younger brother. "How the heck did I even get here?! The last thing I remember is being in my room?!" Tommy exclaimed. "You were kidnapped, Tommy," I explained. "All the members of the Cricket Crew were, as well as Niki, Sneeg, and Charlie..." Eret added. "Tubbo's here?!" Tommy asked, clearly concerned for his friend. "Yup... We're afraid so..." I shrugged. 

"Well, what are we waiting for then? We have to go find them!" Tommy declared, jumping over the counter, followed by Ranboo and Wilbur. "Uh, Maria?! We got company!" Eret called, signaling to the guys running toward us. "WE JUST CAN'T CATCH A BREAK CAN WE?!" I groaned, rolling my eyes. "Nope," Techno spoke nonchalantly, unsheathing his sword. "You're not helping..." I muttered, rolling my eyes. "Here, use this," I instructed, shoving a netherite sword into Tommy's hands. 

30 minutes and a bunch of dead bodies later we had finally taken care of all the attackers. "Is chat satisfied yet Techno?" I asked sarcastically. "Surprisingly yes actually..." He puffed, out of breath from swinging his sword so much. "Well, that's a first..." I scoffed. "We should get a move on, we still need to find the others and get out of this place..." Ghostbur recommended. "Good idea Ghostbur, come on, let's get moving everyone." I ushered them along. 

We continued wandering until Ranboo spoke. "I know where we are! This is near where I found Charlie the first time!" They announced, walking ahead of us a bit and looking around. "You found Charlie near here?" Wilbur asked. "Yeah, it was the same scenario as Tommy." Ranboo turned a corner. "Ranboo, wait for us, don't stray too far ahead!" Eret called. "Sorry, I got a bit excited there." Ranboo chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck. "I've been thinking, who do you guys think is responsible for all of this?" Ghostbur asked. "Wait, that's actually a good question Ghostbur..." I paused.

Does anyone think they might know who's responsible for this? Make sure to leave your ideas and thoughts in the comments! Do remember I'm going to stray from the plotline a little bit so I can make it original.
