"Ranbutler?" Techno said staring at his bed.

"Techno?" Phil asked, "you alright mate?"

Techno collapsed onto his bed, he didn't now wether he should be happy about finding out about Karl or upset because he just let Ranbutler go back into the dreadful place he where he works.

"I-I don't know," Techno said, Phil was looking down at him as he lay in his bed.

"Did something happen?" Phil asked slowly, it didn't look as though anything terrible had happened.

He wasn't wounded and there was no blood on his clothes yet something about him just seemed strange.

"He was hurt again Phil, badly."

"If I ever meet who the fuck is hurting this child then I swear he will wish he had never laid a finger on him."

"You looking to adopt another son Phil?" Ranboo said walking through the front door.

"No well maybe if we manage to save him, anyways have you ever heard of knocking?" Phil said sternly.

"Oh right sorry I forgot." Ranboo said walking back out the door.

Techno chuckled whilst Phil rolled his eyes.

They waited about 10 seconds when the heard a knock at the door.

"Come in!" Techno shouted out to Ranboo.

Ranboo re-opened the door sarcastically asking Phil "is that better for you?"

At this point Techno was almost in tears with laughter.

Phil let out a slight chuckle at Ranboo's expression.

Sometimes Phil wondered wether he "forgot" to know on purpose or wether he generally forgot to knock. He would never know with that kid.

"Anyways," Phil continued, "did Ranbutler tell you anything useful?"

"Oh you saw that guy again? When?" Ranboo asked suprised.

"Yes just now." Techno replied.

"Oh cool what did he say?"

"He told me that he once met Karl."

"Really?!" Phil said shocked, "aren't we in like a completely different year to Ranbutler though?"

"Yes well I don't know how, apparently he was forced to kill Karl but that can't be right because as far as I'm aware Karl is still alive."

"That's strange." Ranboo said.

"We should visit Karl in the morning then." Phil said.

"Ok!" Techno said.

"Now you both need to sleep," Phil said even more sternly.

By the look on Phil's face, Techno could tell that Phil would definitely not let Techno stay up reading all night again.

This didn't bother Techno too much as he was already quite tired anyways.

*NEXT DAY*

"Phil Phil Phil Phil! You gotta wake up now!" Techno said shaking him awake.

"What time is it?" Phil said sleepily.

"Good to know you didn't die in your sleep," Ranboo muttered from behind Techno.

"I'm not that old," Phil said getting up to glare at Ranboo with a slight smile on his face.

Techno wanted to stay and laugh with them but they had to talk to Karl now so he can help Ranbutler the next time they meet.

If they meet again.

After they had all stopped laughing and Phil had gotten changed and put his armour on the left the house to go find Karl.

"Do any of you actually know where Karl lives?" Ranboo asked after an hour of travelling through the nether.

The had gone through portal after portal trying to figure out which one lead to Karl.

"I think he lives in this place called Kinoko kingdom," Technoblade replied, "and it is defo a through one of these portals."

Techno had more hope that they would be able to help Ranbutler then ever before.

He could feel that they were getting closer to the the answer.
