Work Text:
Anarchists believe in a stateless society without hierarchical rule, opposing all forms of coercive authority like government, capitalism, and rigid social structures. They advocate for a society based on voluntary, cooperative associations and free agreements between individuals and groups. While a core belief is in non-coercion, there is significant internal debate among anarchists on the use of violence to achieve their goals.
I suppose you could say this is where the main four make their entrance, now not too long ago there was a faction called the mafia, it took absolute control over the server leaving nothing but terror from invisible particals left behind when it fell. The four protagnists are on a mission to make sure nothing like the mafia ever happens again, but with what Lettuce has been doing with the law lately, it would appear to be more difficult than they thought it would be.
Lettuce originally had a plan.
-
Gain powerful allies
-
Keep the outsiders unaware of what's happening in the capital
-
Gain the people’s favor
-
Kill Flame and Wemmbu
-
Imprison Spoke
-
Keep Parrot out of laws way
It seems like a simple plan but in reality it's probably the hardest one in the history of unstable, these four were unpredictable. One second one wants to help the server and then you blink and BOOM! They’re a villain now.
It’s hard to capture them in any prison or trap because they always escape. If they’re being manipulated they’ll find out, and they’d never willingly cooperate with the Law. It truly was a lost cause with those four. That’s why Lettuce gained the genius idea to execute all four of them, and he’d release this plan to the public!
Surely people would support this
Surely….
—---------------------------------------------------------------------
It didn’t take long for word about the set executions to reach Bat.
Flame and Wemmbu were not a shocker
Spoke was……Questionable
And Parrot was just wrong.
It felt weird, the sudden choice to release your plans while your “Prisoners” Haven’t even been captured yet. And not to mention there was no guarantee you’d even get close to them, after this info is released and they catch word of it, there's no way Parrot or Spoke are going anywhere near spawn. Flame and Wemmbu are both also already way too far out to catch up to.
Lettuce’s plan had too many flaws, and for Jumper not even enough evidence that even if everything went right it would work. There was too much space between capturing them and then execution, what happens between then? Do they just sit in a cell and wait? Cause they would definitely already have an escape route planned by the time their execution date rolled around. The people Lettuce wanted to capture had escaped minecraft’s greatest prisons, known for being perfect. What is making Lettuce so cocky? There was definitely something else Lettuce was hiding.

When Egg and Jaden received the news, Jaden let out a sly chuckle before he turned serious, and so did Egg, If the Law was already trying to capture the great sea, it really didn’t help that Letttuce put a bounty on Wemmbu’s head when he was surrounded by Pirates, And he was the only one out of the four with one! So that was already a problem in itself, the other problem? Flame and Wemmbu would be executed on the same day, talk about unlucky. There's no way the two wouldn’t be arguing on stage in their final moments.
Egg couldn’t lie, he was a little disappointed in Wemmbu, The fact that he even was supposed to have an execution was one thing, but the fact that he let himself get caught and then escaped leaving a trail of evidence behind, the law was going to find out where he was, no search necessary.
“I’m starting to wonder if staying here is a good idea.”
Was Egg to blame for making the Law aware he was out of the end cause he killed a guy at spawn in front of them? Yes alright he's sorry, and he's very thankful towards Jaden for saving his life, but the job they were given was dangerous, and they didn’t have the materials for it.
“Egg I promise, nothing will happen to Wemmbu.”
“Can you promise me that? Or are you just trying to make me stay?”
“....”
Wemmbu and Egg were an unstoppable force, it wasn’t shocking Jaden wanted them around. Being used by somebody for their skills has never bothered Egg before but when it comes to Jaden it really doesn’t feel right. I guess he kinda saw Jaden as a friend.
—-------------------------------------------------------
“Uh Parrot…”
“Yes Theo?”
“Come look at this.”
When Parrot climbed down the ladder he saw Theo holding a book and quill, not signed yet but Parrot could guess who it's from if Theo’s reaction meant anything.
“What do they want now?” Parrot accidently let out a heavy sigh when he said that, thankfully unnoticed by Theo, but also concerning because it seemed like the book was distracting him.
“Parrot, they want you dead.”
“....”
“What.”
“Dude, I'm telling you! Look at this!”
For the first time inawhile Parrot snatched the book out of his best friend’s hands with a worried expression on his face. Spoke’s adventure he made for him and Wifies was always lingering in the back of his mind.

—---------------------------------------------------------------------
“Who does this guy think he is!? Y’know he's not even king yet and-”
Parrot’s sure Theo was still speaking but he began to unintentionally tune him out. Sure he did break into all those prisons but those were either made by Clown or were chunk bans, Parrot was just saving people! Also what does he mean by “Less severe” That’s probably the biggest crime possible on his record! Atleast that Lettuce should know about
“Theo we need to go.”
“What?”
“Theo people in the city know who we are and it’s clear they support Lettuce, we should probably get going before they tell the Law we are here.”
“But we gave them supplies! Surely they’d have our back for that!”
“That doesn’t matter, in their eyes we’ve been deceiving them.”
“God this is so stupid. I swear the second I get my hands on Lettuce-”
“You may wanna stop before one of the Law men hear you and start to consider you a threat.”
Theo coughed awkwardly before he began to pack up all his shulkers of potions.
