Fly Free - [Technoblade x reader]

Chapter 17 - Questions, but no answers

A large huff of air left Techno's lips as his sword clashed with another, with them curling into a grin as he watched the hunter he was against struggle in their losing battle. Though it couldn't be seen from underneath the mask he relished in the fear from the human he was opposite.

He had overheard the night before about some humans spotting a Feline hybrid and were wanting to go after it during the next hunt. This was the perfect opportunity for him and [y/n] to intercept and save the Feline before they were brought back to the hunters camp. It was the third rescue this week, he was sure the hunters were getting tired of it by now.

He was still waiting to talk to Sam, but he had overheard the annoyance of the hunters last night. With them exclaiming their frustration at losing two (soon to become three) hybrids in the past week. The presence of the rebellion was no longer a one time event, and they could sense it was going to get worse too.

On the other hand, it was most definitely helping to populate Pogtopia. The name had spread quite a bit as well. With Niki being able to invite hybrids she saw wandering around in the daytime, it meant that not only rescued hybrids were starting to live in the safety and protection of the rebellion.

He hoped that by now Ranboo had led the Feline back to Pogtopia. It seemed as if that was the easiest way to assure that they could travel back safely while [y/n] and 'The Blood God' fought off the humans that had caught them in the first place.

He thought fondly of Pogtopia and the village as he fought against the human. The battle seemed almost too easy, with Techno not even trying. He could see the human flinch as the so-called 'Blood God' easily parried his attack, making him take a more defensive stance instead.

Techno paid no attention though, he knew he would win the battle, it wasn't hard. What he was more interested in however was his flying companion, who was taking the other two hunters in battle. She was using the new technique Techno had taught her a few days ago when they had agreed to start sparring once more, it was the one he taught to her after their... emotional confessions.

He tried to forget the awkwardness that loomed over the memory of it. Out of the corner of his eye he could see as she used her wings to gracefully jump over the first hunter, knocking him over before attacking the other with the more powerful blow he had shown her. Her progress was quick, and he was most certainly impressed with her improvement in such a short time.

She looked as if she had barely broken a sweat, and the same could be said for the disguised Piglin hybrid. As he moved his focus back to his own battle he heard her voice shout over the top of the grunts coming from the hunters they fought against.

"So-" She let out a grunt of her own as she blocked a strike, "You doing anything after this?" She asked Techno.

He knew what she was doing, teasing the hunters, making it look as if she wasn't even trying (which she wasn't). It made him laugh a bit, yet he knew that she genuinely was asking him a question too.

"Heh, nah." He thrusted his own sword forwards, clashing it against the humans in front of him. "Why, what's up?" He shouted out to her.

"Oh nothing really." She teased, bringing one of the hunters down to the ground, pinning him with her feet as she continued to fight the remaining hunter. "Was just curious, really." She gave him a smirk.

"Your technique is getting much better." Techno praised while he easily pushed the hunter he was against to the ground, like she had done.

She kicked aside the human on the ground, Techno watched as he stayed stationary assuming he'd passed out from exhaustion. Continuing to block incoming attacks from the other she replied to him.
