Mourning Era

The **Retribution Arc** is the first major arc to take place on the Nighttime SMP, following the Early Nighttime SMP Arc. It began on January 2, 2022.

The arc follows the second wave of people joining the SMP. After Bee was killed by Ace, Abenz tries to find a way to bring Bee back. Meanwhile, Zekrom is slowly building up Dragon Nation. After Abenz returns with information on how to revive Bee, he starts planning a revival at Ace's base. During this time, Boo, Bee's ghost, spent a long amount of time on the server.

On January 12, 2022, Bee's Revival took place. Dr\_RTH, Space, and Squid kept guard while Abenz did the ritual. However, Ace and Zekrom showed up to stop them. Shortly after the revival, both Ace and Zekrom arrested Abenz.

Main article: Lawyers Visit to the Prison
*Key Dates: January 26*

On January 26, The Lawyers (Ren, Edna, and Daze), show up at Dragonspiral Tower asking to visit Abenz. Magma agrees and takes them down there to visit Abenz. Soon after, Zekrom follows them down there.

The lawyers ask Abenz what happened and why he did it. Daze, the secretary, writes everything down. After the meeting with Abenz, they decide that they have to talk to everyone that was involved with the Revival.

When the lawyers decide to check out every major crime scene, one of the locations they head to is the Library. When they head inside the library, they accidentally fall through the floor (similar to what happened on January 12th). When they climb bac up, they see signs on the doors of the library. The signs had all of their names on it, with the bottom sign telling them to leave. As soon as they leave it starts to thunderstorm.

The lawyers and Squid walk back to their headquarters to plan what to do next. While it's still thunderstorming outside, Ren decides to head outside. However, as soon as they walk outside, Ren gets struck by lighting, causing Ren to lose their only canon

## The Prison Visits

Main article: The Prison Visits
Throughout Abenz's time in the holding cell. He has had multiple visits with other SMP members. He has been visited by Glowing and Nero.

When Nero visited Abenz, he bribed Magma and Gloomy with emerald and netherite scrap. They agreed to let him visit Abenz and to let Nero take him out of the cell for a day. During his time out of jail, Abenz was shown all the new developments on the server. They took him to Squid's house, where Squid showed Abenz the new changes to the marketplace. After they put Abenz back into his cell, Magma, Gloomy, and Nero went their separate ways. However, when Nero was leaving the basement of the Dragonspiral Tower, Zekrom spotted him.

During Glowing's visit, Glowing scolded Abenz on him reviving Bee. In this conversation, Abenz tells Glowing that he thinks Zekrom isn't the leader of Dragon Nation, but Ace actually is. Before Glowing leaves, Zekrom comes out of the corner to ask Abenz why Nero was there in the prison. Abenz tells Zekrom that Magma let him go visit him. Zekrom then decides to go talk to Magma.

## Ren's Funeral

Main article: Ren's Funeral
On February 11th, Edna and Daze decided to hold a small funeral for Ren (who died on January 26th). They bury Ren's ashes in a small grave behind their house.

During the funeral, Ren is in limbo talking to a Mysterious Figure. Ren reveals to the mystery figure that another entity is telling them to kill Edna. Then, the figure reveals that this entity is named Emit. The figure tells Ren that the place they are in is the past, present, and future. After this, the figure says that they want Ren to kill Edna. The figure reveals to Ren that before the server came to be, there was four of them with each one controlling something specific. It continues to explain that Emit is another one of these four figures, and that Edna used to be one of the figures as well, which means Edna used to be a god. It reveals that Edna could control the weather. A snowman, Snowboi, appears out of thin air, confusing Ren. They question why they cannot remember, until they get transported back to the living world. While heading to their base, a new figure starts trying to communicate with Ren. The new figure reveals to Ren that they met Snowboi, and that they are Emit. Ren finally returns to their base.

Ren comes back to see that their house is a mess. Edna and Daze believe that Ren is now a ghost, both scared and confused. They tell Ren that they both saw Ren die by getting struck by lighting. They point out the scars Ren has and the streaks in their hair. After some banter, Emit slowly convinces Ren to pull out their axe to try and kill Edna. Ren chases Edna upstairs, then out of the window. Edna runs up the cobblestone staircase that heads to Daisy's base, where Ren yells at Edna that she won't admit that she killed them. The chase continues to the farm then to the lobby of the mansion, where Ren kills Edna.

Daze freaks out at Ren, while they try to tell Daze that they were told to kill Edna. Daze tells Ren that she never wants to see or speak with Ren ever again, then storms off to her base.
