Tommy took out his axe. Wilbur, Niki, Phil, and Dream stood before him. “Tommy, we're gonna give you a choice,” Tommy tilted his head, a obvious sign of interest. He knew what they wanted, yet he played dumb.
“Either you drop your stuff and come with us,” Dream continued, before his eyes darkened, “or you lose a life to one of us.” He says, holding his hand out. Tom looked to his horse Henry as if the horse would tell him what to say, “Listen, fellas. I know I might have done some wrong-” “YOU EXECUTED PHIL!” “Not the point, Wilbur. Anyway, I've retired from all this stuff. I've got my own little cabin! And you know my very famous quote.” Phil sighed, rolling his eyes before he pulled out his sword. “This ends here, Tommy. Either you come with us and accept your execution or you lose a life. Choose wisely.” The other three follow his lead. Niki looked nervous, she really didn't want to attack. Why couldn't they just choose people?
Tommy stood there, “Well...I choose..” He muttered, looking at the four. He tapped his chin as he reached for a harming pot. “DEATH!” He shouts and slams it on the ground. The smoke along with the harming caused them to cough harshly.
Tommy grabbed Phil's sword and kicked him in the stomach which caused the younger to cough and fall back.
He turned around quickly to see Wilbur coming straight for him. Their weapons clashed roughly. Tom used his free hand to find the weakness pot. The moment he found it, he shoved Wil away with the force of his axe.
He tossed it directly at the trio. He didn't know where Dream had gone, though he shook his head to focus on the task at hand and went straight at Niki. Their weapons collided and Niki used all her might to keep it balanced and, surprisingly, she shoved him away. Tommy raised his axe to take away one of her canon lives, but he heard his name get called.
“Tommy!”
Dream.
He turned around and looked at the taller.
He held the lead to his horse.
“Get away from that horse, Dream!” Tommy shouted, irritated at how someone would go directly for his horse. They glared at each other, “Drop your things, Tommy.” Dream said, then he added a little threat to MAKE the blonde drop his stuff, “Or the horse dies.”
Tom froze, how dare they? This 'army' comes to HIS home, ATTACK him first, then as if that wasn't the worst of it, Dream THREATENS his horse?! How disrespectful.
Though, Tommy sighs and drops all his pots, weapons, and armor. Though, he did keep food, a totem of undying, and a golden apple. Dream nods and Niki walks over. She grabs the lead and gives the horse a small pat while Phil and Dream put the chains on Tommy. They began their walk back to L'Manberg. As they walk to the execution stage, Tubbo runs out. “Oh my god, you actually got him..” He mutters, shocked. Tommy gave a quick glance to see if he heard correctly, then he took a double take. He struggles against the chains, “TUBBO! WHAT DID THEY DO TO YOU?!” He shouted, then he was set back into his place. He was going to kill these fuckers for imprisoning his pseudo brother. He was shoved into the cage, and then Fundy appeared. Or his ghost.
“Tommy, look! I made a friend!” The fox says, showing the blonde his small fish bag that held a small salmon. “That's very nice, Fundy. BUT, I'm going to fuckin' die.” Tom says, he looked up and saw the anvil. He gulped and gripped the bars. He was going to listen to the speech, but he could care less. He crossed his fingers that someone would help him, so he wouldn't die. He looked up and then immediately back down as he heard someone. Purpled? He watched as the shorter tossed a harming potion at Phil and attacked Niki. “DREAM! PULL THE LEVER!” With that order, the other blonde ran over and pulled it. Tommy pulled the totem out and closed his eyes. He felt his skin attach back to his bones and it felt awful and vile, but he hopped out of the cage. Free.
His eyes turned to see, who better than, Quackity. He ran over and thanked the raven haired man as he pet his beloved horse, he nodded and rushed off, not before mentioning that Tommy owed him and giving him some basic armor and a pickaxe. He sighed and heard someone's boots. He turned around and Dream stood there. They glared at each other, “Tommy. You need to pay.” Immediately after saying that, the taller was already rushing at him. He flinched and dodged. They took a few hits at each other.
“I HAVE A PICKAXE AND I'LL PUT IT THROUGH YOUR TEETH!” Tommy shouted and he landed the final blow. Killing Dream. He ran to Henry and hopped onto him. The horse got the message and galloped away. Tommy felt exhausted and he wished to go home and fall asleep. He smiled as they arrived, Henry began trotting through the soft snow. He flinched as he noticed a certain exiled pink haired teen.
“WHAT THE FUCK-?!”
