Skeppy stood in front of BadBoyHalo, trying to calm him and a6d down. Then, he noticed that Technoblade had left during their argument. He facepalmed and shook his head. Bad and a6d continued to fight, unaware of Technoblade's disappearance.

"Will you two SHUT UP?" Skeppy yelled over them, his temper flaring.

BadBoyHalo looked at him apologetically while a6d just glared.

"Now, if you two haven't already noticed, the one person that we were supposed to be searching for has disappeared." Skeppy said bitterly, pointing to the place where Technoblade used to be.

Bad's eyes widened in surprise and a6d's jaw dropped in disbelief. Neither of them could believe that they'd been fighting long enough for Technoblade to slip away unnoticed. Skeppy shook his head in disappointment and took a deep breath before speaking.

"You two were only fighting for, like, four minutes. If that's enough time for him to disappear into thin air, then we have to stop the fighting while chasing after him." He announced. "Do we all agree?"

BadBoyHalo agreed immediately, looking shamefaced. After a few seconds, a6d agreed too. Skeppy sighed in relief.

"Ok, now that that's settled, let's go home. We've been chasing Keem and Laake around the city for hours."

Then, the Trio were off. They quickly headed to their hideout, only the idea of rest on their minds. Once they got there, they all went straight to their rooms to change out of their superhero suits. Darryl went to cook muffins for everyone, as an apology for fighting.

Zak and Vincent both sat in the living room, scrolling through Twitter on their phones while waiting for the muffins to finish cooking. Darryl joined them after putting the muffins in the oven. They all sat in peace and quiet.

Then Zak got a phonecall.

The Trio jumped at the unexpected noise. Zak looked at the caller ID and quickly answered.

"Uh, hello?"

"Hello, Skeppy." The chief of police, Deo, greeted.

"What're you calling for?" Zak asked curiously, wincing when Darryl elbows him in the ribs.

"Don't be rude!" Darryl whispered at him angrily.

Zak rolled his eyes and focused on what the chief of police was saying. Unfortunately, he wanted to know about whether or not they'd found Technoblade.

"We did find Technoblade," Zak told him.

Darryl and Vincent looked at each other nervously. Darryl left the room to check on the muffins and Vincent made up some excuse to join him.

Zak glared at the back of his friends heads as they left him to deal with Deo.

"Well, that's good-" Deo said, before getting cut off.

"But he didn't agree to join our team and got away."

Silence.

"What?" Deo asked, anger seeping into his words.

Zak was going to have words for Darryl and Vincent after this. He cleared his throat nervously.

"He didn't agree or disagree on joining us, he just left without saying anything."

"But how did he escape? Did you guys just let him go? What do you mean he just left?" Deo questioned, his temper flaring.

Zak was starting to feel his own anger rise.

"We didn't just let him go, he left without our knowledge."

"What the fuck were you doing when he left?" Deo asked accusingly.

"Ok, first of all, it's not my fault he escaped. Second of all, I was just too busy trying to keep Bad and a6d from killing each other." Zak snapped.

"You guys were fighting while talking to the most dangerous villain in the world?"

They argued like this for a while, their voices gradually getting louder until it escalated into a shouting match. Eventually, Zak got fed up and hung up on Deo. He stomped into the kitchen, took 5 muffins, then stomped to his room.

He angrily ate the muffins, ignoring the calls from Deo.

Long after he finished the muffins, he finally decided to answer Deo.

"What?" Zak sassed, anger clear in his voice.

"Skeppy, I apologise for upsetting you." Deo said.

He waited for Zak to apologise to him, or at least say something, but he didn't. Deo grit his teeth before continuing.

"So, you said that he didn't agree or disagree to joining our side, right?"

"Yep." Zak said, already hating where this was going.

"Well, if he didn't say yes then you're all gonna have to force him to join our side." Deo stated firmly.

Zak sighed. "He didn't say no, though."

"He didn't say yes, either. Don't argue with me, Skeppy. You and I both know that he's dangerous. I'd rather have him be a dangerous hero than a dangerous villain."

"If he's so dangerous, how are we supposed to beat him? I would like to not die, thank you."

Zak heard Deo chuckle.

"C'mon, Skeppy, think about it. You're apart of the most powerful superhero team there is, but Technoblade? He's all on his own. He may be dangerous, but he's not unstoppable."

"Ok, so we might have a chance at defeating him."

"I'm glad you finally-"

"But I don't think it's right to fight him."

Deo stayed silent for what felt like forever.

"What?" He asked, his voice full of disbelief.

Zak told him about their encounter with Keemstar and Laake, and about how Technoblade helped them. Deo spoke up after he was done talking.

"He probably wanted to catch Keem and Laake for you guys so you'd owe him."

Zak just sighed in defeat, knowing that Deo wouldn't change his mind. Deo reminded him about his new mission, then hung up. After sitting there for a while, he decided to go back to the kitchen. Surprisingly, Darryl and Vincent were still there.

Zak smiled when he saw that they'd made some more muffins for him as an apology. He rolled his eyes at them but picked up a muffin anyways. They sat and talked for a while, before Vincent asked about what Deo said.

Zak sighed. He didn't want to think about what Deo told him, but he reluctantly told them anyways. Instead of explaining everything that happened, he decided to keep it short and simple.

"We have to fight Technoblade." Zak said. His tone told his friends that he wanted to end the topic at that.

They all moved on to a different topic, trying not to think about tomorrow.

A/N: I'm sorry if this isn't the best. I'm trying, I swear. I also forgot to send this to my new helper for a review, so I'm sorry MelodyLovesFanFics, but I needed to update this thing because I just realized that I haven't done that in years.
