Chapter Text
Third person's POV
After surviving the Purge that Arachnid had set up. The Squad began climbing up from the hole they're in.
"Were finally getting out of here bro I cannot stand another second in this ridiculous place." Codmaster said.
"Yeah you're righ—." Eggchan agreed before getting cut off by being teleported away.
Wemmbu upon seeing what happened to his best friend, he went quiet. Jaden_man ever the observant one, noticed something wrong.
"Wemmbu? What's wrong? Where is Egg???" He asked tentatively.
"Arachnid teleported him back." Wemmbu grimly said his aura started getting darker. The air around him seems to crackle and bend on his will.
"Wemmbu you need to calm down. Besides i still have to ask Arachnid questions as to why he didn't pull me out of the pit for the Purge, since we did make it together when you still weren't the second in command." Yungy said.
"I. Am. Calm. Yungy, and right about that, haven't you realized that Arachnid is using you?" Wemmbu said, smiling softly which is terrifying considering he rarely smiled these fast few days.
"I—h-he wouldn't do that he promised me..." Yungy said still clinging to the hope that Arachnid wouldn't betray him, after all he was the first person to stand beside him and has been loyal from the start.
"Didn't you realized? Out of all the citizens on this Kingdom. Not a single royalty is spotted on the Purge only the two of us is here. Don't you think that's strange?" Wemmbu said.
"We'll he might have put you in here because he knew you're going to betray him after he give Egg back to you. As for me he might have forgotten that im still here so that's what im going to ask him about maybe me being here is only a misunderstanding." Yungy shot back glaring at Wemmbu.
"Really? Then why haven't he pulled you out of here yet when one of the Royals saw you. Didn't you say you helped designed this place? Then why didn't you know about the Warden traps?" Wemmbu said trying (and failing) hard to control his temper.
Because the Warden attack has triggered something deep inside him that he tried to bury long ago.
"You know that guy hated us right? He probably didn't report yet cause he wants to kill us. And actually how can i trust you? You can't even save your own best friend, Eggchan." Yungy said mockingly.
At the mention of Egg, Wemmbu's last bit of patience snapped. His Chaos flared instinctively responding to his anger. The pressure slammed into everyone nearby.
Jaden gritted his teeth.
Codmaster almost collapsed.
Even Yungy staggered backward.
Banditking had already fled.
"Okay that's enough, Codmaster please calm yungy up, I'll talk with Wemmbu." Jaden order, Codmaster who was terrified of what's happening, only nodded.

Yungy centric.
As soon as they went away from ear shot yungy knocked out Codmaster and decided to go up by himself and confront Arachnid.
But instead of getting the answer he craved. He was slapped with something heavier.
"Ohh.. don't worry about Yungy. He probably won't be able to get out of the purge, since you know.... Besides he probably would think i just forgot about him. Little did he know i was just exploiting his, obedience and loyalty and man power." Arachnid said laughing hysterically. One of the Royalties laugh with him.
"You seems pretty confident about that little subordinate of your your majesty?" (Idk the name) said.
"I've know him for as long as this Kingdom is born i know he won't betray me, ever. He's too naive to do so." Arachnid said smirking.
The peoples in the throne room continued chatting.
'So what Wemmbu's hunch was true after all? I'm so stupid to not realize it.' yungy though to himself.

Third person's POV
After Jaden led Wemmbu away the two started talking.
"What now? Do you have a plan Wemmbu?" Jaden ask.
"I do, this has to end right now Arachnid makes a fool of me so many times. I will ban him off this server now. But first we need to wait for Yungy to be back." Wemmbu said seriously.
"What do you mean? Yungy is with Codmaster." Jaden asked confused.
"He's out of the purge pit probably gone to talk with the king. But i can feel yungy is going to betray him sooner or later." Wemmbu said a cold smile on his face.
"Well im not going to ask how did you know Yungy left. Let's get back then to see what happen to Codmaster." Jaden say.
"Good call."
After a minute they arrived and saw Codmaster passed out on the floor. Jaden tried to wake him up and to their relief he did woke up.
"What happened?" Codmaster asked.
"Yungy probably knocked you out. Anyways let's plan on what to do first before getting out of here." Wemmbu answered his tone flat.
They began planning on how to defeat Arachnid. With each of them sharing intel they have. And trying but failing to plot the execution of the plan, and planning backup plans in case the original one failed. It took them almost an hour just to lay out all of the things they know about the Kingdom because Codmaster kept giving them stupid informations.
"I want to participate but i can't fight, precisely i don't know how to fight." Codmaster said looking down on his fidgeting hands.
"You'll provide the back up bro. We'll find a squad and we will first destroy the trap hidden in the whole Kingdom rig it and after that you will fi—" Wemmbu got cut off by the water falling from the top of the Purge pit.
"Umm.... Did i interrupt something?" Yungy ask, with Banditking shouting for Yungy to let him go.
"Well, well, well, look who's back." Wemmbu said mockingly.
" Look Wemmbu, first of all im sorry for not trusting what you said earlier. I know I've been nothing but a jerk to you, but i want to help you get Egg back." Yungy said.
"What changed?" Wemmbu asked, expressionless.
"Arachnid, did betrayed me. And i want to take revenge. Plus i genuinely want Egg to be free, i just realized now that you both aren't as bad as they say. And on behalf of the whole Kingdom i apologize for using Egg as a leverage to control you. I'm sorry for everything." Yungy said bowing his head slightly.
"I don't actually blame you since you're just following orders but im glad your taking responsibility for your actions." He said nodding slightly.
"Now wanna go kill a king?" Wemmbu said with a sly grin.
"You bet i do." Yungy said smirking.
Then Yungy laughed.
Jaden sighed shaking his head.
Codmaster nervously joined in.
Even Banditking stopped struggling.
And then Jaden noticed that Wemmbu smiled. It wasn't the smile of someone getting his friend back. It was the smile of someone who had finally made a decision. And somehow that terrified Jaden.
