{Quiche, Pie, and Tart}

"Are you ready?" Quiche asked as he placed a hand on his older brother's shoulder. Pie looked at him, his expression not changing.

"I'm uncertain," he said.

Quiche grinned. Pie? Nervous? A rare occurrence, but an amusing one nonetheless.

Still, he would prefer the term 'hesitant', if only to make it sound more professional. Afterall, Pie cared a bit too much about honor and reputation.

"Don't beat yourself up about it. You'll be great." Quiche nudged him with his elbow. "Besides, do this, and you might win the heart of any Iaweian woman you want."

Pie frowned, prompting Quiche to snicker.

"Oh, yeah. I forgot. You don't want an Iaweian woman."

Pie clearly didn't appreciate that comment, but his blush was obvious. Quiche had to contain himself before he burst into laughter. A flustered Pie was an entertaining Pie.

"It doesn't matter what I want," Pie protested, baring his fangs.

Quiche rolled his eyes. "Uh-huh. Don't think Retasu would agree."

Pie tsked. "She's Mew Lettuce to you."

"Whatever," Quiche snickered once again.

Pie sighed. "I'm just glad we have the chance to save our people." He looked down at the μ Aqua in his hand. His voice softening, he said, "This may be our last …"

"Then, go out there, and tell them the good news." Quiche smiled genuinely.

"Hey, are you ready, Pie?" Tart whispered as he walked toward them. "They're getting kinda fussy about waiting. They wanna know why we aren't taking them to Earth."

Pie nodded. Quiche gave him a thumbs up.

He and Tart watched as Pie stepped behind the podium and called attention to himself. Normally, he wasn't one to speak for people, but this was Pie's news to share. He had had such hope for his people and truly believed Deep Blue would be the one to save them. If anyone was to convince an entire population that their god was false, it would be his most loyal warrior.

"Do you think this will work?" he heard Tart whisper to him.

"Yeah." Quiche furrowed his brows. "It has to."

"Iawei, I'm sure many of you have heard the rumors of Deep Blue's demise," Pie started. "These rumors, I regret to inform you, are true. However, as his former loyal servant, I can tell you that you would be glad of this news after hearing of what I have seen."

Quiche heard his younger companion inhale shakily. "Do you think that was a bit too blunt?" Tart asked.

Quiche looked at the crowd. Many were either angry or concerned. Quiche's eyebrows furrowed as he recognized the lead monk stand out of his seat.

"Maybe, but let him continue," Quiche responded. "Pie knows how to convince people."

Tart hesitated, but nodded.

Pie continued, "The humans, as flawed as they can be, are not the vile creatures we were told of. Deep Blue was willing to end an entire planet of lifeforms. And despite his promise, it wasn't to save us. It was for his own personal entertainment and selfish entitlement."

Pie paused, letting himself breathe.

"This is why I, Pie Kanesa, and my brothers, Quiche and Tart, have returned to you with an alternate solution." Pie revealed the capsule of μ Aqua in his hand.

"This is μ Aqua," he said, "a substance created by our ancient ancestors. It has the ability to revitalize anything. I believe it will save this cursed planet and give us the home we have prayed for."

Pie turned to Quiche and Tart and nodded. The two younger boys flew to the now-broken altar to Deep Blue in front of the podium and shot the center of it with electricity, revealing some fresh, frosty soil in the middle. Pie reached out his hand, preparing to drop the crystal into the broken altar.

His face seemed stiff, and his eyes were glassy, as if he was almost doubtful of what he was about to do.

Quiche swallowed. This would work. It had to work.

"This shall begin a new era in Iaweian history!" Pie announced before letting the crystal fall.
