Fly Free - [Technoblade x reader]

Chapter 15 - Sly Fox

"That...was...AWESOME!!" [y/n] yelled, as she soared into the air. The mission had finished hours ago and everyone was safe and accounted for back at the village. "I wish I could've seen the looks on the human's faces when you came back to them being all beaten up."

"Heh, yeah." Techno chuckled, fiddling with the sleeve on his arm. "They looked so ashamed, it was kinda funny to be honest." He wasn't wrong either, the poor hunters looked so defeated when he had returned to them as Technoblade.

In the end him and the humans had returned to the camp with nothing to show but cuts and bruises. Sam had seemed incredibly frustrated, and had invited Techno into his Captain's tent to discuss what happened. Thankfully, with Techno having an alibi he was able to keep everything under wraps.

He wouldn't lie though, the battle between him, [y/n] and the hunters was probably the most fun he'd had in ages. He found it fascinating how easily he was able to bounce off of [y/n]'s fighting technique, with her using both her sword and her bow to make speedy attacks, while he finished them off with powerful blows. Not only did it work well, it had sent all of the hunters practically running off. Even the ones that were cocky at the beginning.

"Hey, did ya know Fundy and Niki have already seemed to settle in quite nicely?" She changed the topic, catching the Piglin off guard a little after his thoughts had trailed back to the previous hours.

"Really? They've only been here for what, 6 hours max?" He asked curiously.

"Mhm." She nodded her head, "You should come to get to know them, Niki has already been suggesting ideas for how to improve life in Pogtopia! She wants to make it more accessible and start a farm so that hybrids with different diets can all eat!" The excitement in her voice and the smile that accompanied it on her face made his cheeks warm.

Before he could say anything the Elytrian had grabbed her friend's arm and started dragging him to where the two new hybrids and Ranboo stood. She landed back on the ground with a small huff when she reached them. Techno caught the end of what the Fox was saying to Ranboo.

"-especially for Niki, who can only breathe properly underwater. Oh." He noticed Techno and [y/n]'s presence. "Hey you two," He eyed the both of them up and down, "I assume everything went well back there, but we're in a bit of a crisis at the moment."

"What's up?" [y/n] questioned.

"Well, we're just wondering where Niki is gonna stay, she needs to be in water to survive, so unless you have a bucket you wanna keep her in then she has nowhere to go." The Fox hybrid huffed, looking at his Merling friend.

Techno looked over to Niki, it was the first time seeing her out of the water, seeing not just her head floating. The miniature fins that were on the side of her head also laid on the back of her arms and legs. Her hands and feet were both webbed, with her nails too pointy to match her personality. Most surprisingly was a long thick tail with one fin trailing all the way down. It was clear her body was meant to be in the water.

"Phil was able to supply me with some water breathing potions which thankfully let me breathe oxygen, but I don't know how long they can last." Niki spoke in a soft yet concerned voice.

There was a brief pause for everyone to think of a solution and to everyone's surprise Techno was the one to speak up, "You said you wanted to make Pogtopia more accessible right?" He asked Niki who nodded her head in agreement, "Well why don't we start right now, that stream we met at comes down close to around here. With all of us working together we can redirect it for a smaller stream to come through Pogtopia, it gives you a way to travel too."

With his idea he saw the Merling's face light up in the idea. He also saw [y/n] lift off the ground once again, her smile wide.

"It's perfect!" The Elytrian exclaimed, "We don't have anything else to do, so we should get to work right away!" With her statement she flew off in the direction of the water source to start digging a pathway for the water, Niki followed her close behind yelling at her to 'wait up'.
