Chapter Text
They had been able to spend the night in the Soulfire base, as it was far enough away that none of them would be at any risk of getting hurt from the effects still lingering on the battlefield. The night was spent checking up on the kids and making sure to keep everyone inside, to prevent some from going out and chasing down their missing member.
Returning to the Island was going to be hard. It only got more difficult when on the way back they were met with a shore with three unfamiliar kids sitting on the boat deck with Fred standing patiently waiting for them. Fit the first to recognize the federation worker, he hoisted his kid up against his chest. He kept ahold of Pac’s hand as he rushed through the group to get to Fred.
“Fred?! W-what are you doing here man-” Pac explained before being cut off by Fred taking out a book, quickly writing down something and holding it up for them to read ‘We were able to track your location as of last night and came as quickly as we could. We were going to come to find everyone but discovered these three and were given orders to wait here for you all.’ Phil read out loud for the others to hear. Having come to stand beside the trio, Tallulah and Chayenne close behind him.
Fit gave Phil a nod in acknowledgment before turning back to his co-worker. “You were able to get our location last night? But that was when..oh” the confusion that had been on his face made place for grieve and worry as he explained a quiet “The bastard of course he fucking did.” that only Pac and Ramon caught as they has been the only two close enough to hear him. The realization dawned on Pac, evident by the way his eyes widened. coming to the same conclusion as Fit had gotten to, Tubbo had somehow managed to send their location to the fed.
Fred resumed writing in the book before again showing it to them. 'There is a medical on board if there’s anyone that needs immediate care, the others can get checked over when we get back to the island' Fit nodded, glancing back at the group, well it couldn't really be called a group, as there was a clear difference the groups of Bolas and Soulfire, with a couple of people having spread out on the shore caring for minor wounds.
Pac looked to Phil for advice on what they should do.
Turning around to the rest of the group he quickly picked Talulah up, balancing her on his hip and whispering to her to cover her ears, he shouted at the others “HEY LISTEN UP, EVERYONE GET ON THE SHIP! TAKE THE KIDS AND BADLY INJURED TO THE MED-BAY! THERE WILL BE SOMEONE TO CHECK THEM OVER THERE, THE REST OF YOU GET INTO THE ROOMS AND GET SOME REST.”
Pac leaned against Fit as he looked at everyone, quickly taking the kids inside and supporting the ones that could barely walk. He averted his gaze as Maximus was carried onto the ship by Foolish and Pierre, his threat of blowing up Egg Island having been met with unexpected violence in the form of a barrel of gunshots having been unloaded into his body and the detonator having been taken from his fallen body.
He tenses up as he feels the damn M.D.A. vibrate in his hoodie pocket in that familiar way that signals a disaster warning, he swiftly pulls it out as he notices Fit looking around, checking for mobs, or god forbid, any Eye workers, glancing down at the screen. His hart freezes at the image that indicates meteors are quickly going to be descending upon them, and with them this close there's no way of getting lucky and not getting blasted.
His eyes widen as he looks around, seeing that not everyone has been able to get to the boat. “Fit! We need to get on the boat right now man,” holding the M.D.A. up for him to see as he quickly picks up Richas who had walked over to them.
His eyes drift as Fit shouts at the ones not yet on the boat to hurry up, his eyes falling on Phil who is ushering his kids onto the boat, pausing to check what Fred wrote in the book that they’re holding up, 'Where’s Tubbo?' Pac feels his eyes water at the reminder, clutching his kid closer as he goes to get on the ship, before even having time to try to respond Phil gets cut off as the thundering sound of meteors draws closer, rushing onto the boat, Pac puts Richas down telling him to go inside, as he turns around to help take Ramon so Fit can climb one of the ladders hanging from the railing.
As the meteor draws closer, they continue to try to get everyone on the ship, the sound of the engine joining the sound of the meteor, reaching down to pull up Cellbit and Baghera who were still on shore. He manages to get ahold of Bagera’s hand. he sees Fit next to him trying to pull Celbit up.
Gunshots ring out.
The sound of bullets hitting the metal of the boat gets muffled by the sound of the meteors.
Another gunshot.
A grunt of pain is heard from beside him as the bullet hits Fit in the arm resulting in Cellbit falling to the ground as Fit’s grip fails.
Pac’s hand holding onto the Baghera’s hand slips as someone pulls Bagera's legs back.
He falls backwards, Fit’s scream is cut off as he hits the boat deck and everything goes black.
“Why are they here?! We had a deal, it was me for their freedom!”
“The deal was for the children nothing was said about the sinners.”
“BU-”
“Guards take him back to his room he’s going to need more time before the next trial starts.”
"THAT'S NOT FAIR WE HAD A DEA-"
