"Hm, well, let's find out, shall we?"

The Button is pressed.

A quiet rumbling sound is heard, until it stops, turning and swishing to a louder sound.

*Hm, well, let's find out, shall we?"

Vwoop

Ranboo.

"I hope you all feel the same way I did!"

"What is this!"

"Tommy, what did you do?"

"Ahhhh, we're gonna die!"

First, the Community House.

Next the White House.

Last, the Podium.

"Alright boys, shall we be going?"

"Damn right we are."

"Yeah no way I wanna be with these doshbags."

"Tommy."

Tommy stopped dead in his tracks and shivered.

"You know you can't leave when you know there's unfinished Business."

"Shut up! Shut the fuck up!"

Dream tilts his head. "Why? Didn't you miss your best friend?"

"No, I didn't. In fact I quite enjoy when you're not around."

"Aw Tommy, that's no way to talk to a friend. I was so nice to you and this is how I'm being treated?"

"No, you abused me! You were never my friend!"

"How could you say that? I was the only one who visited you, made you food, let you run around and play games with your little friends, until look who desided to run away? Huh?"

Justin was about to step in until Purpled stopped him. "No, he needs to resolve this on his own."

"No, I ran away because I had no other choice than to stay there, get beat up, and die. Or I would kill myself before I let that happen!"

"Isn't that what you tried to do?"

Tommy gaped.

"Hm, looks like i got the cat, huh?" Dream said with a smirk.

BOOM

"Ahhh Kinko has been destroyed!"

"Someone get Karl!"

"We're next!"

"Hm, you did do a good job at placing the TNT, yet you couldn't escape your fate."

"What fate?"

"This one"

Dream stabs Tommy square in the chest and teleports away after so.

"Tommy!"

"That fucking green bastard!"

Tommy bends over, hugging his wound as he sinks to the ground.

"No, Tommy, you can't die! You can't! What will I do if you die on me?" Justin begs.

"No deo. You have to go on. Kill Dream for me. Please. Take over the Bay. Please, Deo."

Tommy despawns.

Tommyinnit was killed by Dream

"I'm gonna kill that fucking green bastard."

"Deo, your going to shift again! We can't have that happening again!"

Justin calms down, saying, "I will kill him. I will." His fists start to shake.

"Deo! Stop! We can't destroy this place like you did before."

"Uh, I know."

Tommy was surrounded by the void.

He should've been dead.

Why wasn't he?

"My child." A familair, yet different voice called.

"Who are you? Where am I?"

"My child, your in the void. I am your creator, mother, god, anything you want to call me."Mother Void says.

"So, if I'm dead, then why am I here instead of hell?"

"You aren't dead. Your simpliy healing yourself while talking to me. You're a pheonix. You can not die, unless of old age. Listen, we do not have much time, so you are permitted 2 questions." Mother Void ecoes.

"Is there really a way to bring my brother back from the dead?"

"No."

Damn it. He's a liar.

"Why does Dream abuse me?"

"Interesting question, he is possesed by a Dreamon. He releases it when he feels emotions too deeply, and sadly, he is a very emotional man."

"What is a Dreamon?"

"I am sorry, little one. That's all the time we have here. I have to let you go. We shall visit once again."Mother Void's voice fades as his vision swarms, revealing a bright lighted room.

"Hm, a troublesome, eh? A quite interesting, I've got to say. You picked a mighty fine warrior to choose, Clem." Another voice is heard.

Tommy tries to sit up. "Who are you?"

"Me? Oh, I'm no one important to you." The man tilts his head and- oh PRIME, he has a mask, just like Dream. Except that he has an XD instead of a :).

"W-why do you-"

"Oh, the mask? I can take it off." The god takes his mask off revealing a nice looking face with Neon green eyes, and freckles dotted against his skin.

"Is that better?"

"Yeah, sorry you just reminded me of the man who took my life, wait all three of my lives..." Tommy's voice trails off.

"Well, I haven't properly introduced myself, so I'm the God, DreamXD. Yes, I know, it has the word Dream in it, but still, I'm not a raving pycopath like my desendent."

Tommy huffes a breath out."Well, thats good to know."

"Anyways how about a quick look around, hm?"

"Alright."

As both of them take a look around, the world swirls as they move. He's guessing that DreamXD does that when he walks, creating new things as he moves. As for Tommy, can only look in awe.

He knew better then to know it would last.

"So, how do I get out of this place?"

"Oh, you don't. You come and go, as time wishes. After all, you can't control it."

"So I have to sit here and wait, while my friends and family could be dying?"

"Mhm. Yep. That's about right."

"Wha-, no that can't be right. I need to do something."

"What can you do when you're unconscious?"

"Try to wake up?"

"Here? In the Gods realm? No, you can't just simply wake up. You must prove that you CAN wake up."

"Then what do I do?"

*********************

"God, I know he's not dead. I feel him. He's alive. But how?" Justin says.

"Unless..." Wisp questions.

Dreamons are hard things to deal with.

If he was ever to try and help Dream, now he knows its not his fault, there was no way he knew how.

"So, the only way to kill a dreamon, is to go into the dream realm?"

"Precisely." 

"Only, how do I get to it?"

"You must enter the mind. Make yourself into mist."

"Aaaaand, how do I do that?"

"Oh my prime, you seriously don't know how?"

"No."

"Oh, well, it seems our time is up for now, but beware, I'll come searching for you sooner or later." XD Says, while the scenery changes to a pitch-black void.

"Oh my little boy! You can't be here! No, I won't allow you to! Come here" Mother Death cries as she pulls Tommy closer to her.

"W-what? Mum?"

"Oh, my sweet boy, what did they do to you?"

"Mum, im going back. I am. I just needed a bit of time."

"No, this won't do. Here, come here my baby,"

Light shines through Kristen's fingertips as she uses her excess power to grant Tommy the power he needs. 

"Go, my child. Go, save your friends, and help the one who's lost."

With that, Tommy fell back into consciousness.

As Tommy wakes, the world is blurry beneath his feet.

"Ugh!" Tommy shoots up, on his spawn bed. His head burns along with the rest of him. No, like, literally he's on fire.

And Tommy screams.

**********

Bitzel was on a stroll, when he heard a scream come from Tommy's old place.

'Eh, its probably nothing, just someone went to visit and they found out he died.'

But no, he was wrong. He decided to check it out anyway.

When he entered, he saw Tommy, all up in his bed, on fire.

"What the fuck?!!"

"I don't know man, you tell me??!!!"

The fire melted down to cover only his wings after a few minuets of waiting. "How are you alive dude?? I saw you, get stabbed by Dream!" Bitzel said passionately.

"Oh prime. Oh my prime. I have to go see him."

"WHO? DREAM? NO!!"

Tommy shakes his head solemnly, saying "I have to. I need to help him."

"Wait wait wait wait wait, you're telling me that, you're going to help someone who killed you all three times? No. No way I'm letting that happen."

"Well, it's too bad, because i have to do this, otherwise that dreamon is going to curse him forever. And it technically wasn't his fault. It's the dreamon's fault."

"Dreamon?"

"I'll explain on the way there."

**************

"Okay, so, um, are we just gonna ignore the fact that you had just come back to life?"

"Nah, I was goin' to get to it. So basically I met mother void, and she said it wasn't my time, allowed me to ask 3 questions, and then i faded out, and met with this creepy guy named Dream XD, who said Dream is their cousin or brother or some shit, the after a little chat with 'em, then, the weird guy, had a sick lookin' bird, and said, " You picked a mighty fine warrior to choose, Clem." and them it swirled again, and then i met my mum."

"Holy fucking shit dude."

"Yea I got to say, it was quite the ex- oof! Ey, bitch, watch where you're going!"

"Look, I'm sorry- T-tommy??" Connor says.

Tommy gives him a shit-eating grin, as he says, "In the flesh."

"Just go with it." Bitzel agrees.

"What?? How??"

"We need to get to church prime, c'mon, I'll explain everything on the way to church prime." Tommy rushes.

******************

"So, we need holy water and an exorcism?"

"Yep. That's how you get rid of a demon, I bet it's the same for a dreamon."

"Alright, let's track a green motherfucker."

++++++++++++++++

"Let me out, you fucking bitch! Why?" Clay said into the void of his mind.

"I have to finish this. This, all of it, is ours. I really do thank you greatly for letting me stay."

"No. You shouldn't be here. You didn't even ask! You show up, unannounced, after 1 prayer, and now, look what they think I've done! I need you to leave. Please." Clay cries, begs even to the demon.

"Oh, im sorry, but no can do, buddy. This is the most stable place I've been to for years now. And there's no way I'm going to leave this."

Please, Clay cries, someone notice me.

+++++++++++++++++++

"Tubbo."

"Sapnap."

"What are you doing here."

"I, am currently trying to figure out what's wrong with Dream."

"Well, im trying to figure out why Dream even killed Tommy in the first place."

"I guess we're in the same boat."

"Aquatences?"

"For now."

~~~~~~~~~~~

Somewhere off in a distan realm, a cry it heard, shackles down their spine, apin driven through and through.

Chapter Text

"Dream."

"Tommy."

Tommy gulps. "I need something from you."

"Hm, and what's that? You don't believe that I would give you what you want." Dream says, smirking under his mask.

"I know that. That's why I called you here. So I can get what I want." Tommy's face darkens, all with a smile.

Tommy unhinges a bottle from his hip, and takes a swig of it.

"Now Dream, unless you're too pussy to give me something. Drink this. You should. I just took a sip, it's not poison." Tommy said.

"No. I'm not going to drink something from you, especially since it looks like dirt water." Dream said, sensing the blessing of the water.

"Sorry, I wasn't fucking asking." Tommy threw the bottle on the ground, shattering the glass and expelling the water over Dream.

A loud hiss is made from Dream but it's not enough for the demon to leave. Tommy came prepared for this, and took out 3 more bottles, throwing them at Dream, hoping that it would work. He was missing something.

As he threw the water, Justin had come at the scene, questioning the situation.

"Did you think you could take me down that easily?" the dreamon had fully taken control now, making Dream's body rise from the ground.

"Shit! I need to get him down!"

Tommy flies up with the Dreamon, taking a look at the eyes of his opponent.

"DIE, you fucking bitch!" Tommy charges forward to Dream, just blocking a thrust to the chest.

"Tommy, you can't beat me, even if you can come back 14 million times. You simply aren't strong enough." 

"He might not be able to, but I can bitch." A hiss is heard from the side, the air suddenly filled with smoke, a blast knocks both of them out of the air, falling in the pitch black night.

Purpled had appeared at some time, and takes the chance of a lifetime, and stabs Dream in the chest. 

Connor and Bitzle had picked up Tommy, and helped him to his feet. He notices Justin's ravage and makes attempts to stop him, for he had to kill him.

*******************

"Sorry Dream, but this is your end." Deo says with a blast of his fist, glowing eyes standing out in the night.

"DEO! STOP!" a voice calls, ringing in his ears. 

Justin didn't stop. He kept going. 

"DEO! PLEASE! LISTEN TO ME!" Ugh, the voice is still there, he makes a violent hiss at it, continuing his task.

A sudden familiar touch snaps him out of his mantra. "Justin?" the small voice, no, Tommy's voice, almost a whisper. "Can you hear me?"  

A nod is received to him. There's still the faint ringing in his ears, no, it's too much. He's, Oh Prime, he did it again, didn't he? He hurt someone. He had to have. This only happens at dire situations.

"Justin, calm down. You're okay, I've got you." a soft whisper from Tommy. "Stay with him, Purp. I need to take care of something."

His warmth, his life had left, but a new one had come. Snuggling in to their chest, unaware of what's going on.

**************

At midnight, Tommy strikes the sword down on Dream's chest. He fades out, going to respawn. 

Tommyinnit killed Dream
