Meanwhile, on the other side of the kingdom.

"What are we going to do?!" A blonde haired girl said.

"I don't know..." A cloaked figure hissed.

"They took our best fighters!"

"I know..."

"I mean none of us know how to fight what can we do?!"

"I KNOW! Shut up! I'm trying to think..."

Silence quickly ensued. The girl pouted silently and leaned against a wooden beam.

The cloaked man slammed his hand on the table and rubbed his face.

"There's nothing I can see that is wise at the moment. We need warriors, but they've either died or have given into the stupid blue king and his pathetic son..."

Suddenly the cloaked man realized something. He turned quickly to the blonde girl. "His son... his only heir..."

The girl giggled shrilly. "I like where this is going!"

"You... you're a potion maker, are you not?"

"With pride!"

"Perfect. Tomorrow, around midday, we shall poison the water."

The girl laughed loudly and psychotically. "I'll get right to it sir!"

"But..."

"There's always a but..."

"Make it potent enough only to make the kids sick... so that when the prince dies and the peoples children start to die... they will question the king and overthrow him."

"Leaving us to take the throne instead! Brilliant!"

He waved her away to let her get to work, but before she left the room he asked something. "Where is Jacobs?"

"He's out getting an old friend... a traitor..." She said slowly.

"His name..?" The cloaked man asked impatiently.

"BadBoyHalo."

-~-~-

A blonde boy woke up fairly early hearing noise around the house. His immediate thought was his dad, Philza, but he told them he would be in town for a few days.

Tommy sat straight up and looked around Techno and Wilbur were still sleeping in their beds, but Tubbo was nowhere to be found.

Tommy, as silently as he could, jumped out of bed and grabbed Technos's sword.

"Don't touch my sword Tommy! Unless it for an emergency."

Who knows who could be in the house? This was an emergency! Someone could be stealing from us! Or they kidnapped Tubbo and were trying to grab what they could! Or-

His thoughts were cut short when the noises became louder and sounded like they were coming from the kitchen.

Tommy held his breath and kept out from behind his hiding place scaring the intruder.

The intruder yelped and covered his face with his hands. Tommy soon realized that the intruder was in fact his brother and best friend, Tubbo.

Tommy quickly lowered the sword and walked slowly over to the youngest and pulled has hand away from his face.

"Why are you up this early?" Tommy asked staring into the mismatched eyes of his friend.

"I did want to wake anybody up..." Tubbo said quietly.

"Why?"

"I had a bad dream and I didn't want to cause any trouble..."

Tommy looked at Tubbo solemnly and smiled. "You can always come to me little bro!"

Tubbo laughed slightly. "Thanks Tommy."

"What are you two doing up so early..?" Came the tired voice of Technoblade.

"Tubbo had a bad dream and he usually goes to Phil, but Phil isn't here so-" Tommy was cut short.

"Ap ap ap! I've heard enough just go to bed it like... three in the morning... and give me back my sword Tommy!"

Techno trudged groggily back to his room, sword in hand,  and closed the door behind him.

"I'm wide awake. Are you?" Tommy asked.

"Yeah I've been awake for a while!"

"Hide and seek at night?" Tommy asked excitedly. He knew it was Tubbo's favorite game to play when the were with Philza outside.

Tubbo's smiled disappeared. "But Philza's not here... what if we get lost?"

"Don't worry! I'm here for you! I'll fight oof anybody who tries to hurt you!" Tommy said proudly.

Tubbo's smiled returned and he and Tommy walked outside where the only light was the moon and the fireflies.

Tommy ran ahead slightly and said he would count first.

Tubbo smiled warily and walked slowly into the dark woods.

Tubbo had been walking for a while before he heard the stream nearby. He decided to go towards it in hopes for a good spot to hide.

While he was walking there, he heard voices. A girl and a man's voice. They sounded like they were arguing. Over what Tubbo did not know, nor seem to care, but he wondered what they were doing here at this hour of the night.

So he changed his direction and made his way towards the the two arguing people. One was a blonde girl dressed in a soft looking light pink dress, and the other was a man with a cloak on so his facial features were hidden away, but he seemed to have white almost sliver hair and a regal kind of suit that looked expensive.

He stopped and hid behind a Bush hoping he was concealed in the shadows.

"Are you done yet?!" Shouted the male.

"If you want to kill everyone... by all means pour all the potions in the river!"

Tubbo gasped silently as the two bickered.

"These poison potions should be enough to kill the children and the prince with the right dosage, but if an idiot pours all of the bottles into the river... he'll kill the entire population and he won't be able to rule a kingdom with people in it!"

The cloaked figure growled at the girl's outburst.

"Fine, just hurry. Who knows what scavengers are out this late at night."

"Victor... you underestimate yourself... and me."

The man called Victor peered down at the the blonde girl. "No... I underestimate you and your efficiency Minky."

"Wow... that hurt." She said dramatically. "But hey, that was the last one."

Victor sighed and nodded, waving Minky after him.

She smiled evilly and quickly grabbed all of her bottles that she brought.

Tubbo knew he had to warn Tommy and the others... more importantly the king!

But when he stepped back a twig snapped under his foot.

Minky turned around quickly.

"Someone's watching us..."
