Chapter Text
It's been a few weeks since his revival, things are worse than he could have ever imagined. His friendship with Tubbo is strained, Wilbur's back, the Egg is spreading quickly, Quackity has become a villian and so on. The worst part is, he can't do anything to change it. Wilbur and Quackity are trying to get in his head and manipulate him yet again. At least he still has his discs, but he had forgotten what their true meaning was. He knew it was important and if they broke, he would never forgive himself. But why? That question has been on his mind for a very long time. He has to be even more careful now, everyone on this server is after his life one way or another, maybe with the exception of Captain Puffy, Tubbo and Ranboo. Does Tubbo still count though? In multiple circumstances, Tubbo has chosen something else over him, it's upsetting but it's true. And then there's Ranboo, the enderman hybrid was the ideal person to be around, he was kind, chaotic and diligent, his so called 'family' thought so too. He's overheard them multiple times, when they say, 'Tommy should be more like Ranboo, atleast then no one would hate him as much'. Motherfuckers, he thinks, what would they know, they haven't been manipulated and used countless times, they haven't been killed, only to be brought back and toyed with. Honestly, who did they think he was, some sort of weakling?! Sure, he wasn't the person he used to be, but it certainly hasn't made him weak. Tommy felt him self clench his fist, and scrunch his face, he needs to calm down, any sort of emotion displayed on his face is a sign of vulnerability.
Tommy managed to calm himself down as he closed his eyes and walked towards his dirt shack. He felt himself bump into someone. No threats, no punches, who was this? He opened his eyes to see the iconic purple hoodie, the brother of a peculiar mercenary always wore.
"PURPLED?!"
"TOMMY?!"
The two immediately embraced each other in a hug. It has been so long since they've seen each other, the two blondes used to be the best of friends. Their families decided they were 'terrible' influences on each other, but in reality, the two could destroy an entire server in the matter of minutes. They met..... somewhere, Tommy can't quite remember, why doesn't he remember?!
"So where are you heading off to Toms?"
"My dirt shack, wanna come? I can catch you up on all the things you've missed out on, while you were away at...., well wherever you went."
"Yeah, sure I'll join you in your poor excuse of a house. And for the record I was away at.. at, I was there yesterday, why can't I remember."
"MY HOUSE IS AMAZING YOU BITCH, HOW DARE YOU INSULT MY BUILDING SKILLS," Tommy had yelled at Purpled as he dragged the other along to his house, the blue eyed boy ignored the last bit of his friend's statement. He knew something was up, but he couldn't place his finger on it quite yet. They had managed to reach his house, without getting attacked by mobs or people, thank goodness for that.
Tommy closed the door behind them, as he led Purpled to his actual base, under the dirt shack. In his base, he kept all his weapons, riches and what not. He had asked Sam to make redstone door for him so he can protect his valuables, which he can't fit inside his enderchest. Behind this door, was also his room, which Purpled was a bit taken aback by. Why would someone need to hide in a vault with their valuables. The answer to that question could only be answered by Tommyinnit himself, but Purpled was still hesitant to ask.
As they entered the vault like room, heavy clicking behind them was heard, indicating the door was locked. The vault was covered in fairy lights, chests and lastly a massive queen sized bed, with an ungodly amount of pillows and plushies, placed in the middle. The purple eyed boy decided not question, but what in the hell exactly happened while he was gone. A lot apparently, judging by Tommy's behavior. Tommy seemed to be getting something out of the chests, it looked like it was.... food?
"Here," Tommy said as he tossed Purpled the food," you probably haven't eaten anything since you came back, and your hunger bar is probably low, so there you go."
"Thanks dude. If you don't mind me asking me, what happened here, while I was gone? And why do you have your room in hidden vault inside a hidden base underneath the dirt shack?"
"Heh, that's a long story," Tommy replied to Purpled.
Purpled, now curious, answered back, "I have time, I have really no where else to be and QuackitymayormaynothavedecidedtoblowupmyUFO."
"Ok, slow down and HE DID WHAT?! I swear the people on this server are getting worse and worse, and they blame me. The audacity! Anyways, where should I begin? You left around, ummm the first L'manberg war. Alright so more people joined after that, then there was an election, SWAG2020 and Schlatt2020 won. Schlatt proceeded to then exile me and Wilbur from L'manberg. After that Wilbur and I made Pogtopia-"
"You made the name didn't you?"
"WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED MEAN?!"
Purpled replied 'nothing' while holding back his laughter, as a very annoyed Tommy looked at him.
"ANYWAYS, Technoblade joined us , and Wilbur's road to insanity began. The pet war and manberg happened . Technoblade was told to execute Tubbo and he did. I was really angry, so wilbur msde us fight in the 'pit'. Wilbur then blew up L'manberg and Phil stabbed him. Techno spawned up a wither and was like 'oH lOoK aT mE, i'M aN AnArChIsT aNd YoU aRe ThE GoVeRmEnT, blAh BlAh bLaH, sO I'm GoInG tO kIlL aLl Of YoU'. Total bullshit if you ask me. Later on, Ranboo joined, we grieved George's house and ended up burning it too the ground. I got exiled for the second time since I, yet again, took all the blame. In exile, I was manipulated by Dream and then I took refuge to Techno and agreed to do MINOR terrorism. MINOR, but oh no, Techno wants to blow up L'manberg AGAIN with DREAM, as if I would ever side with Dream. So I joined Tubbo's side yet again. Techno goes on a rant about how's he's human too and about how I betrayed HIM. Ok fair enough, you wanna be treated like any other person instead of a weapon but it's gonna be hard considering you perceive yourself and make other perceive you as god. And by is own standards he is an absolute hypocrite. Then there was DOOMSDAY, where I took 2 of dream's lives and put him in prison after I payed Punz to get everyone else to help us get my discs back. I died in in prison, not a fun experience by the way, and got revived. During that time Ranboo became my replacement, and my so called 'family' likes him better. You already know about the egg and Las nevadas.... and oh Wilbur's back."
"Wow that's sad. I'm sorry that happened to you, but you still haven't answered my other question."
"Yeah it's fine, it's not the first time anyway. And for your other question, everyone is basically trying to kill me so I have my room in my vault. Behind these Quartz walls is actually 3 layers of obsidian and 3 layers of bedrock, mining fatigue as well, so no one can actually break in."
"I- uh don't know what to say, that's some pretty buffed up security," Purpled replies, unsure whether he should be relieved or worried. Tommy still looks at him and smiles, it was a genuine smile. But it seemed wrong, his eyes were no longer filled with fire, passion and mischief instead the were dull, lifeless and sad. The blonde still had some of his spark, his fire left in him, which Purpled was internally grateful for. Tommy, in return, was also grateful that Purpled was here, he was the first person who hasn't tried to kill Tommy or has any intention too. Now he really wants Purpled to stay the night, like maybe he can help Tommy with his nightmares, maybe..
"Hey Purp, do you wanna stay the night? It's getting dark and the mobs are coming out right about now. You can sleep in my bed, there's enough room for the two of us and we don't need to worry about anyone breaking in since you know...", Tommy continued rambling on, desperate for the other to stay.
"Sure Tommy," Purpled cut him off with a smile. Soon they both got appropriately dressed for the night, Tommy surprisingly had a wide range of pajamas and clothes, despite being seen in the same outfit everyday. The two boys huddled together, after Tommy had dimmed the lights. It wasn't long until their limbs tangled together and they both fell into a very deep sleep.
----------------
Tommy slowly opens his eyes, he feels cold and Purpled is no longer next to him, nor is he in the vault anymore. Instead it's more like an endless void, not like the one he was when he died. There was someone watching him, waiting for him, he felt it, it made him shiver a bit. The blonde decided to start walking and trying to explore this place. He knew this place was not on the Dream smp, otherwise he would have recognized it, but he decided to look around anyway.
The void was pure, it was clean, it was white. In the horizon, there was a door, and Tommy decided to go to it. It's not the best idea considering he's in an unknown place, with no knowledge of it whatsoever, but there's nothing left to lose.. right?As he makes his way toward the door, he notices the frame around it, is glowing as if it's inviting him to go through it. And he does just that.
As he passes through the door, he is met with a bright light, instinctively he closes his eyes. He opens them again, only to see two figures, one of a man and one of woman. The woman has bright ginger coloured hair with streaks of gold, she is dressed in all white to suit her pale complexion. The man on the other has dark coloured skin and hair, they are matched with a teal coloured t-shirt, pants and a black cloak wrapped around his shoulders. They shared one common trait though, their eyes, they had white eyes, with no sign of a proper iris or pupil.
"Hello, star child," the lady greeted him with a kind voice," you may be wondering why you are present here today, if we may be a threat but fear not, we want nothing but for you to be happy. I'm Clara, the goddess of the stars and he, my brother, infamously known as 'Herobrine', guardian of the minecraft universe created by the Notch, himself."
Tommy was slightly taken aback by this information, was he dreaming or was it ctually them communicating to him. The lady- er Clara seemed to be a trustworthy person? goddess? Either way Tommy chose to listen to her.
"I'm gonna cut straight to the point, the admin of this land, you live on has breached multiple conducts as well as laws formed across the entirety of the minecraft universe, and for that he should be punished severely. Dream, as he calls himself, is what you would call a false god, alongside with that 'brother' of yours, Technoblade. The Angel of Death, your father, will also be stripped from his role but he will be able to stay in contact with Death herself, or as you call her, 'Mumza'. All three of them need to be taken down, alongside the server. It is not an easy task considering the admin has stripped your memories of before you entered the lands away from you, to be able to make you vulnerable and easy to control. You specifically I may add, your experience in the 2b2t arena, Hypixel and SMPEarth makes you the strongest person in the Smp. I believe, your strength came from a group you led in Smpearth, known as the 'Business Bay'. Oh how we gods and goddesses enjoyed to watch you-"
"WAIT, you're saying I had a life before this? Where I was a leader, a fighter, much stronger than what I am now. That I had people who actually cared about me?! I find that a little hard to believe but is it really true? ", Tommy interrupted Clara in disbelief, but the goddess just smiled at him before nodding.
Finally Herobrine himself spoke, "Yes, young one we have been watching you for a very long time. We knew you were destined to save all from the very beginning. You found a way to sneak into the toughests' hearts, the sneakiests' brains and so on. That alone is near impossible, but you have a fire raging inside of you, ready to be set free. For that to happen, you need your memories back. Didn't you find it strange why you couldn't remember why your discs were so important or who the people were in the photo frame, which currently resides in your ender chest. Or maybe how your instincts are near flawless. Did you ever notice the blends of blue on Cat or maybe the orange and red on Mellohi. Those colours represent people, your instincts remain due to the amount of experience you have had. Your life outside of this dreadful land, was too great, and that is exactly why the admin of this land you reside in, tried to get rid of them completely, make you vulnerable. But your fire never burned out, passion and kindness flowed through your veins, so he tried to break you, rest assured, starchild, he'll never succeed. You have blessing of multiple deities, including the gods residing here, as well as the sister and brother of the false god."
Tommy was at the brink of tears, he had a found family waiting for him and he didn't even remember them, he had a life before all this and he couldn't remember it. He could finally leave, abandon the dream smp but Tommy wasn't an idiot he was brought here for a reason, which was not just the truth. His face scrunched up in thought as he felt the need to bring Purpled and Drista along, otherwise he would be left feeling guilty.
"Alright then.. I only have three questions your .. umm.. highnesses? Deities? or whatever the fuck you are. First of all am I along to bring alongside two companions alongside me if I am to leave the SMP. Second, are you going to give me my memories back as well as the companions' who I would be bringing along with me? And finally, can I please see a memory of my found family outside the Dream Smp before you explain any further." Tommy asked carefully, trying not to annoy the deities in front of him. Herobrine and Clara both looked at each other and tehn smiled at him.
"Of course," the both replied simultaneously as Clara held her hand out and an orb began forming on her palm. They orb grew larger and brighter, inviting Tommy to touch it, and thats what he did. The blonde suddenly felt a wave of strong energy flow through him, as his eyes rolled back and he dropped to his knees. Before he knew it, he blacked out. He was now again in a void but it was darker, and he was more translucent, like a ghost. He heard voices and he walked towards it, as reached the origin of the voices, he saw, what he though he would never see again.
- - -
"DEOOOOOO, BITZZZZ, LUKEEEE, WISPPPPPPP," a very young and happy Tommy yelled as he ran looking for his friends. The blonde was running through yards and yards of wheat to get to a his garden.
In the garden, his friends were there waiting for him, planting flowers. A guy with a blue mask and a white t-shirt began playfully scolding him about running in the fields again. The guys in light blue and dark blue clothing laughed hysterically at his antics. He seemed so... free. A deep chuckle followed by a person in orange.
"Now, Now Wisp, Tommy is a CHILD let him do what he wants," the guy in orange replied to masked fellow, assumably Wisp. Wisp... seemed awfully familiar.
"I AM NOT A CHILD, YOU FUCKING BITCH! I AM 5'11 AND I'M TURNING 16 IN A FEW DAYS I'LL LET YOU KNOW," Tommy had yelled at the others.
- - -
The memory in front of Tommy faded, as he was warped back to the deities. The blonde noticed that he never actually left, but fainted? As he got up, he looked up at the two celestial beings with teary eyes and silently thanked, signaling them to go on with their explanations. Tommy was currently beyond overwhelmed, he had people waiting for him outside the smp, and he would have his memories back too. Clara looked at Herobrine, who simply nodded, and waited for Tommy to gather himself before continuing on.
"As I mentioned before, the false god, that administrates your land as breached multiple laws and conducts set across the minecraft universe. Unfortunately, his admin powers gives him the ability to roam free, and the only way for us to properly reach him, is in the void. You see, we can pull a person's mind into this void but we are not permitted to bring their entire being here, unless they are in the dark void already. As you know, to be able to go to the dark void, you need to loose all your lives. That is why there is a law set that an admin is allowed to set a limited number of lives in a smp, as long as it doesn't affect a person's lives across the entirety of the Minecraft Universe. If a person loses there lives across the entirety of the universe, they are send to the void, which is impossible, with a few exceptions. Your admin's corruption in power is slowly spreading to other servers and Smp's as well. For example, Hypixel, a place of harmony and unity, is making respawns more and more painful to the point, injuries from the previous battle still remain. We need you and your fellow companions to stop this, by killing the source. Of course, Dream has multiple people still under his control as well as his admin powers... defeating him will not be an easy task but plead you to do so, you are the only one that has the will strong enough to. We will return your memories as well as your two chosen companions, on the condition that you will defeat Dream and his minions with the help of your comrades and take his final breath. Do you accept?", Clara had finished off.
They both looked at him expectantly as he was deep in thought in the pin drop silence. Determined and confident in a long time, he answered them with a large grin on his face, "I accept." His eyes were burning with fire, he had his spark back and that made the two deities hearts melt. Each of them were somewhat fulfilled my Tommy's spark, especially the boy himself.
Herobrine smiled at the blonde and said," Alright young one, I think it is time for you to head back now, it should be nearing morning for you. We have sent your friend, Drista as one of your companions, she will explain the situation to your friend in the purple hoodie, as he alongside with you will also be getting his memories back. But beware, the admin will find out about your memories soon, so I suggest you leave as quickly as possible. I have expanded your ender chest storage so you shall be able to fit all valuables in there as well as permitted Drista to permanent creative mode, so she will be able to provide you all food and weaponary."
"Good Luck, star child. We will keep in touch," Clara had said to him.
"Goodbye, Thank you for everything."
And with that Tommy waved them goodbye as he felt himself being stripped and pulled away from this void, at what seemed like lightning speed. Before he realized it, he was back.
-----------------
Tommy came to his senses has he suddenly opened his eyes, he looked beside him to see Purpled, thank goodness, sleeping peacefully clinging on to him. His head hurt a lot, and then he remembered, everything. His time in the 2b2t arena, his adventures on SMPEarth with Business Bay, his first interactions with Purpled on Hypixel and so on. He remembered it all including his discussion with the two deities.
.......
SHIT DRISTA IS COMING TODAY. Tommy was freaking out but didn't want to scare the other away. Once he gathered himself, he slightly nudged Purpled who was still sleeping. That didn't work, Tommy decided to elbow the other, that didn't do anything either. He has no choice now. Screaming it is.
"PURPLED HET YOU ASS UP, WE HAVE SOMEONE VISITING US TODAY, IF YOU DON'T GET UP IN THE NEXT 20 SECONDS I WLL KICK YOU."
Purpled jolted awake at the noise as he fell off the bed right after. It was funny to watch. The boy rubbed his head slowly, he was about to yell at Tommy but stopped, he could remember everything now... How? Purpled was so confused, he was about to ask Tommy, instead he yelled at him.
"TOMMY, WHAT THE HELL MAN, WHY DIDN'T YOU WAKE ME UP LIKE A NORMAL PERSON. WHY DID YOU HV TO YELL, NOW MY HEAD HURTS."
"YOU BITCH, I tried to wake you up but noooooo, little pwurpled wants his bweauty sweep."
"I am not a child you are, that is not my job. It is yours, anyways who's visiting?"
"Just get ready, Drista is on her way."
That's all Purpled needed to hear to get up quickly and rush to the bathroom. No way in hell was he letting Drista embarrass him, nope not today. Tommy felt the same way apparently as he ran towards his closet and picked his choice of clothing, he felt like something new today, for once. They were both quickly out an ready, Purpled surprised a bit by Tommy's change in style but ultimately supported it. What he was confused about is why, Tommy was stuffing so much stuff from his regular chests to his ender chests.
Suddenly Tommy grabbed his hand and dragged Purpled out of the Vault, making sure once more all the chests were empty. The redstone door was closed as quickly as it was opened, the lever that opened it was taken away. The vault was hidden once again behind iron walls of his base. Once the reached to the dirt shack, Tommy made sure to hide iron base as well by blocking it with more dirt blocks. Even Tnt won't help find this. He and the boy next to him now were on their way to the barrier block base, freely talking, though Purpled still annoyed about the fact that Tommy dragged him out of his house.
Not even moments later, the devil's daughter herself appeared, Drista. She was in her usual attire, green hoodie and pants with the classic smiley face mask. She looked at Tommy for approval before teleporting them both to an unknown place. There she explained to Purpled what was happening, which he took surprisingly well, and he was quite excited to go to SMPEarth, he had heard many great stories about it. The next part which was explained, he did not take as well.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE LEAVE TODAY?!"
"SSSSHHHHH! People might hear you! You have your memories back dumbass, my bitch ass brother will know soon, he checks it like everyday. Be thankful, Exdee is diverting his attention from it for today. This is our only opening, Tommy's got his stuff packed already and I don't need to pack anything, creative mode and all, so just you left... loser," Drista replied in a whispered yell.
That shut Purpled up quick. Drista took that as sign to teleport to them too both of Purpled's bases, where they gathered his valuables and stuffed them in his ender chest. Alongside his stuff, she gave them both a larger variety of clothes as they needed to stay under the radar for a bit in SMPEarth, especially Tommy. Everyone on that land knows of his stories, and would recognize him almost instantly with his classic attire of red and white. They all had their, communicators, more specifically universal communicators, so even if they were to be in different servers, they could contact each other. They all destroyed their DSMP communicators, in case of any trackers placed in them. Tommy's communicator was full of messages from people from all over, Deo, Bitzel, Luke, Wisp, Sylvie, Alyssa, Minx and so on, all from a few months ago. He smiled at it, grateful for them. Purpled had a similar situation on his communicator messages from Wallie, Astellic, David and Hannah(before she was corrupted).
"You guys ready to go?", Drista asked them. They both nodded, and before they knew it, they were out of the Smp.
3 pings came from the everyone's communicators (except Dream's, his one was taken away), as they all looked in confusion.
Drista has left the game
Tommyinnit has left the game
Purpled has left the game
