Business bay

Chapter 8: Bringing Punz to the Bay

Sorry it has taken me so long to publish a mother chapter I have been busy writing two other stories I couldn't get out of my head. One is One Piece

The morning air was crisp as Tommy stood at the edge of Business Bay, his eyes scanning the horizon. He had been waiting for Purpled's return, and with him, Punz. Tommy had always seen potential in Punz, though he hadn't spent as much time with him as he'd wanted back in Dream SMP. That was about to change.

A familiar sound reached Tommy's ears—a low hum, followed by the sight of two figures approaching from the distance. Purpled and Punz were making their way toward the Bay. Tommy grinned, feeling a surge of excitement. They were close.

He turned to Deo, who stood beside him, arms crossed, his sunglasses reflecting the light. "Here they come," Tommy said, nodding toward the two figures.

Deo smirked. "Let's see what they've got."

As Purpled and Punz entered the Bay, Tommy stepped forward, his usual smirk firmly in place. "Oi, Purpled. You found him, then?"

Purpled nodded, his expression calm but satisfied. "Punz didn't need much convincing."

Punz, standing slightly behind Purpled, gave a small nod. His gaze swept over Business Bay, taking in the towering structures, the carefully laid-out paths, and the faint sounds of construction and sword fighting in the distance. It was clear he was sizing up the place, trying to figure out where he fit in.

Tommy stepped up, clapping Punz on the shoulder. "Welcome to Business Bay, mate. It's not much... but it's ours."

Punz smirked, his eyes still wandering over the camp. "Looks pretty solid to me. Better than most places I've been."

Purpled crossed his arms, nodding toward the center of the Bay. "Come on, I'll show you around."

The group walked through Business Bay, with Purpled pointing out the key areas—the central meeting point, the sparring grounds where Axel and Deo often clashed, and the growing construction site where Luke was hard at work on Purpled's new high-tech house. Punz seemed impressed, though he kept his usual calm demeanor.

"Oi, Luke!" Tommy called as they reached the construction site.

Luke popped out from behind a half-built wall, his hands covered in dirt and sawdust. "What's up?"

Tommy gestured toward Punz. "Meet the newest member of Business Bay."

Luke grinned, wiping his hands on his shirt as he stepped forward. "Nice to meet you, Punz. Heard you're pretty handy with a sword."

Punz nodded, his eyes flicking to the various projects Luke had scattered around. "I try."

Luke laughed, already liking Punz's straightforward attitude. "Well, you're in good company here. We've got a lot of fighters. And a lot of builders too. Speaking of which," Luke turned to Purpled, "your house is coming along nicely."

Purpled raised an eyebrow, curious. "Yeah?"

Luke motioned for them to follow him around the construction site. Bitzel was there too, rigging some Redstone wiring for the hidden compartments and gadgets they had planned. The place was already looking incredible, with sleek walls, glowing accents, and a futuristic feel that made it look like something straight out of space.

"This is just the start," Luke said, pointing to the different features. "We've got hidden compartments, a security system, and some Redstone tech to keep it all smooth. Bitzel's working on the wiring."

Purpled's eyes lit up as he walked around the structure, clearly impressed. "Looks good."

Tommy grinned, nudging Punz. "Told you, mate. We do things differently around here."

Punz smirked, but there was an air of appreciation in his eyes. "Yeah, I can see that."

With Purpled's house well underway, Tommy decided it was time to initiate Punz into the chaos that defined Business Bay. He gestured for Punz to follow him as they made their way toward the sparring grounds. Axel and Deo were already there, sharpening their swords and preparing for yet another "training session."

Deo glanced up as Tommy and Punz approached. "So, this is the new guy?"

Tommy grinned. "Yep. Thought we'd give him the proper welcome."

Axel stood, twirling his sword in his hand as he looked Punz over. "You any good?"

Punz shrugged, though there was a glint in his eye. "I've held my own a few times."

Axel chuckled, a challenge in his voice. "We'll see about that."

Deo stepped forward, his white eyes hidden behind his sunglasses. "Let's make it a real welcome, then. How about a little sparring session?"

Punz raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued. "You're on."

The sparring session was intense from the moment it began. Axel and Deo, always in sync, worked together as they tested Punz's skills. But Punz wasn't just holding his own—he was pushing them. His movements were sharp, calculated, and with every clash of swords, it was clear that he was someone who knew exactly how to fight.

Tommy watched from the sidelines, grinning as he saw how quickly Punz adapted to Axel and Deo's style. The fight was fast, brutal, and precise—each strike met with a counter, each move planned out in advance. Axel and Deo were relentless, but Punz didn't falter.

"Not bad," Axel muttered as he blocked one of Punz's strikes. "You've got some skill."

Punz smirked, not missing a beat as he parried Deo's next attack. "Thanks."

Tommy leaned back, crossing his arms. "Looks like Punz is gonna fit right in."

As the sparring session came to an end, the group made their way back to the campfire, where Wisp was waiting with a fresh batch of potions. The fire crackled as they gathered around, the warm glow lighting up their faces.

Punz, still catching his breath from the sparring session, glanced at Tommy. "You weren't kidding about this place. You've got something special here."

Tommy grinned, his usual mischievous energy shining through. "Told you, mate. Business Bay is more than just a faction. It's a family."

Purpled, who had been quiet during the sparring session, leaned back against a log, his gaze on the stars above. "It's good to be back."

Tommy nodded, feeling a sense of satisfaction settle over him. The Bay was stronger now, with Purpled and Punz added to the mix. They weren't just a faction—they were becoming something more. A force to be reckoned with.

As the night wore on and the group continued to laugh, talk, and plan for the future, Tommy couldn't help but feel that they were on the edge of something great. The world outside was still stirring, but for now, Business Bay was united, stronger than ever.

And with Punz now by their side, they were ready for whatever came next.
