Tommy and Tubbo stealthily ran behind the various buildings, following a certain, speedy tyrant. Tommy motions for utter silence as they reached the community house, the small beams of sunlight slowly lowering in the backdrop.
The community house was as clean as ever, polished to perfection with much care, as it was the longest remaining original build in the SMP.
Handing Tubbo another invisibility potion, they tipped their heads back, each downing their full containers. With their invisibility back on, they chased after the sneaking figure. Their target made his way to the nether portal, opening his bag to grab some food.
Tubbo touched Tommy lightly on the arm, signaling that they should jump him now if they were ever going to. Down went their buckets of milk.
Jumping from behind the bush in which they were hidden, they each placed on their netherite armor sets.
Dream jumped back, startled at the sudden attack, and flipped his satchel shut. He blocked blows with his shield for the split second it took for him to unsheathe his sword. Glinting in the last sparks of sunlight, it hit back at Dream's attackers with his hand controlling it.
He held his own, but he was unprepared, and it was against two. Tommy and Tubbo quickly gained the upper hand, and Dream was forced to be on the defensive. Dodging a fast thrust by Tubbo, he backed up onto Tommy's own blade. It pressed lightly into Dream's back. He managed to use his own sword to flip himself around though, and after twisting through the air, he landed on his feet in a crouching position with Tommy and Tubbo's backs to the portal.
He made to move forward, to maim them enough to get away, but Tubbo held his hand up as soon as he got close. He held up a circular plate, with a hole in the middle and purple outlining the inside hole.
Dream's eyes widened at the sight of his disc in the hands of his opponent. He knew he should've been more careful with the location transaction.
"Stop, Dream. We have the discs, the power. You are now under our command."
Tommy held up a new disc, the green one... They had both. Dream cursed himself under his breath, unsure of what to do.
"Dream, you're going to come with us now." They didn't necessarily have a plan, but they'd figure something out.
It wasn't a moment after he said these words though did everything go wrong in their way.
A new figure joined the scene, teleporting in front of Dream and promptly plucking both discs from the younger boys. "Tommy."
Dream could feel himself grinning under his mask, this is what Tommy should get for betraying him.
"Technoblade... don't do this."
"You see, but Tommy, I seem to recall this exact situation a while back. It seems we're opposing sides though now.
"Techno, just leave. Let us take Dream 'cause it's not your problem."
"You see, Tommy. That's going to be a bit of a problem-"
"Don't you dare finish. Don't you fucking dare."
Tommy's glare could kill, but both he and Tubbo knew they couldn't take the pig. Tubbo was slightly confused, but he knew something was up judging by Tommy's reaction. He quickly got into a defensive position, ready to defend at a moment's notice.
Techno ignored the interruption. "That's going to be a bit of a problem, Tommy, because this guy's with me."
Tommy's glare pinned daggers through Techno, but he held his ground. A dangerous smile creeped up across his face, and in one motion, he tossed the discs to Dream and placed an ender chest. With the discs safely tucked away, Tommy and Tubbo had no reason to fight.
Dream joined Techno as they simply sauntered past the two young boys and readied to enter the nether.
Remembering something, he turned back around the the young boys. "Oh, yeah. And Tommy? Go fuck yourself."
He left both Tommy and Tubbo in shock.
