Here they stood facing that Green bastard,
It was decision day, the day they decided Tommy's faith.
Now The government of New L'Manberg stood on the obsidian walls that enclosed their country.
Their county, the one they fought for, bled for, died for, the one that was destroyed over and over but each time they only rebuilt it stronger than last. But each time another conflict would arrive and the country would once again fall and the most permanent lives were lost. Now Tommy stood his best friend in front of him, Tubbo one of his oldest friends, his friend from before and through war, beside Tommy stood Fundy, the son of the man he viewed as a brother, Fundys odd fox genes caused him to age so now he was technically older than Tommy but he was still like a nephew to him. On Tommy's other side stood Quackity, Big Q, Tommy and Quackity had once been against each other fighting for the rule of L'Manberg, but now after Tommy met Quackity in the woods after he left Manberg, the two had formed respect for each other and a strong friendship.
And now Tubbo would refuse to exile Tommy, they would find Technoblade and they would take down Dream, Tommy was so excited to see the way the green Teletubbie in front of Tubbo would react. But then everything went wrong...
"Well, Tubbo?" Dream's porcelain white mask covered his face but everybody there knew he was making eye contact with Tubbo,
"Its Funny actually" Tubbo turned to face Tommy as the corner of his mouth started to twist into a smile "You want to team with Technoblade, why?"
"Tubbo? What are you?" Fundy spoke up from where he stood,
"Tubbo this wasn't the plan" Quackity's voice sounded both slightly entertained and annoyed,
"NO tell me why do you want to team with Technoblade? You know the answer, SAY IT" Tubbo had his entire attention on Tommy "Remind me, whats Technoblade to you again Tommy?"
"What are you doing? Why are you asking me this right now" Tommy sighed as Tubbos stare didnt falter "FINE MAN, He's the blade!! Technoblade!! MY FRIEND!! MY BROTH-" A realisation crossed his mind "He's like a brother to me man!"
Dream began to laugh at that, his terrifying wheeze of a laugh, this was when Tommy noticed Dream had made his way over so now he stood right behind Tubbo,
"Like a brother to you?" Tubbo smiled as he repeated Tommys words "Oh Tommy, you're willing to let our county die because you trust a man whos 'like a brother' to you! You have made your decision so now its my time to make mine" Tubbo simply smiled and glaced back at Dream, seemingly unstarted by the silent movement that man had made "Could you escort Tommy out of my country please" Dream rested his hands on Tubbo's shoulders "Brother" Tubbo turned back with a simple smile on his face,
The reaction begun a second later,
" WHAT DO YOU MEAN BROTHER!!?" Quackity screamed,
"BROTHER!??!!?!" Fundy screeched,
"Tubbo? WHAT THE FUCK MAN" Tommy replied "AFTER EVERYTHING HES DONE TO ME MAN!?!?"
"Oh Tommy! YOU decided to team with TECHNOBLADE, MY EXECUTIONER"Tubbo screamed back " YOU DID THIS, YOU DID THIS! YOU KNOW HE KILLED ME, YOU SAW HIM BUT YOU STILL WANT TO MAKE US TEAM WITH HIM INSTEAD OF JUST ACCEPTING YOUR MISTAKES"
Dream kept one hand on Tubbo's shoulder but used the other to push his mask to his side,
"I TRIED TO HELP YOU BUT ALL YOU DO IS HURT ME TOMMY AND I DONT WANT THAT ANYMORE" Tubbo cried out, louder than Tommy had ever heard him,
"But why DREAM MAN, WHY TEAM WITH HIM??" Tommy yelled back,
Dream pulled tubbo into a hug against his chest "Do you really think Schlatt had a heart attack Tommy?" Dream looked at Tommy "I poisoned that bastard the second he hurt my brother, I have always protected Tubbo, but he never trusted me until recently, do you know why Tommy?"
"Tommy I always trusted you, I gave up everything for you, and time and time again you hurt me, but I could deal with that, I joined L'Maberg for you, I lost my house for you and that was fine because you're my best friend! Then I lost my second life for you, and that's fine because we were still together, best of friends! But it began to hurt, I pulled every string I could to keep you in L'Manberg, but then it just got worse and eventually, my feelings didn't mean shit to you, you ignore me, you don't respect my choices and it became too much but the tipping point was when you wanted to team with my murderer" Tubbo sighed "Dream cared for me, he would heal my cuts, he killed people for hurting me, he would sneak me healing pots even during wars, he would check up on me, calm my nightmares, comfort me during storms, but I always picked you and I cant do that anymore, goodbye Tommy"
Dream walked forward and pushed Tubbo behind him "Lets go Tommy" Dream said fixing his mask,
"But Tubbo-" Tommy began
Dream shoved Tommy leaving Tubbo standing alone, "Now Tommy"
