(Spoke POV)

You were on top of the capital city building, standing on a machine you had created, putting hundreds of TNT inside.

(PAST)

Your best friend, Mapicc. Was missing.. when he was going out of your bunker to get more supplies, as you were currently getting hunted by BAT. he had been gone for a long time.

You started to get worried, so you pulled his stasis chamber, he had appeared for a split second, before disappearing again. Saying "We got to get out of here-!".. or something along those lines..

You had flown to the stash Mapicc had gone too.. but it was blown up, cobwebs. A fight had happened there.. and Mapicc was nowhere to be found. You followed a ice trail.. but it ended in a small crater, you knew that was mapiccs trail. you had given him ice. You didn't wanna believe he was dead, a sense of dread filling you. You desperately searched everywhere for mapicc.. but he was nowhere to be seen. You returned to the base, you found an invisible player inside wearing netherite he had a shield.. the banner he was wearing was mappics.

Spoke(u): "..Mappic?"

You laughed, hope filled. but then the player drank milk, revealing it to be Leowook. The leader of BAT

You stood there, staring at Him.

Leowook: "hey spoke.."

He laughed, it made your blood boil..

Leowook:* "y'know.. your friend put up a pretty good fight.. but he wasn't better than my carting, and spies, and I got this little item from him."

He taunted, showing off mappics shield.

Leowook: "I'll admit, he has good taste.. oh wait, my bad. I mean he HAD good taste."

You stood silent for a few seconds, until Leowook suddenly pulled a trap, the floor dissapearing underneath you, but you reacted in time. Avoiding the trap.

Invisible spies came out, trying to push you but you got away..

The encounter with Leowook completely broke you.. almost losing your mind. You became more desperate to find mappic. You kept trying to gaslight yourself that mappic wasn't dead, but deep in your heart. You knew he couldn't survive.

Desperate to get your best friend back, you wrote in a book..

"dear players of the unstable smp, I, Spokeishere. plan to nuke Capital City.. you have one hour to evacuate the citizens, but anyone that tries to stop me will be swiftly eliminated. if you wish to save your home, I have only one demand.. Prove to me that mappic, my best friend isn't dead. show me that he's been captured, or that hes somehow alive, because otherwise I will leave this entire server in ruins.

You sent that book to the leader of the law, LettuceK. (PRESENT) you were waiting for any signs of Mapicc.. just any signs, but no one was sent. No one was coming.

Spoke(you): they haven't sent anyone..

You silently stood on top of your machine, hoping.. looming over the empty Capital City..

Spoke(you): No.. any second now.. they'll bring out Mapicc-- or maybe he's just waiting at our base, looking for me..?"

You prayed someone would show up, getting more impatient by the second. Suddenly, there were sounds of blocks being broken behind you, then the sound of armor being worn.

It was ParrotX2.

Parrot: "..Spoke?"

He called out, Parrot was surprised to see you in a broken-like state.
