After Eggchan's kidnapping, FlameFrags' betrayal, and the destruction of the island, Wemmbu escapes with Arachnid and YungYx while overwhelmed by fear, anger, and exhaustion. The two offer him a cruel deal: help them gain power, and Eggchan will be kept safe from further harm. Though Wemmbu knows the arrangement would cost him his morals and freedom, he finds himself considering it because he can't stand the thought of Egg being hurt again. The tragedy is that the one thing Wemmbu has always fought for - his own autonomy - is once again being taken away from him.
