Chapter Text
Tommy looked down from the building, watching as civilians walked by looking small, his legs swung side to side as he ate his burger. The iconic able sisters echoed out his earbuds slightly muffled from his humming. “Ugh, I’m bored Nuke isn’t there someone who needs help,” Tommy whined resting his arm on his thigh as he took another bite of his burger. There was a short static noise coming from his earbud that lowered the volume of his song before another voice spoke, “Nothing yet as I said five minutes ago,” Tubbos voice sounded annoyed, Tommy could practically hear his eye roll.
“Why is it so damn quiet today,” Tommy flopped down on his back letting the remnants of the foil wrapping roll away from his hand. “Isn’t that a good thing,” Tubbo asked a hint of annoyance still in his voice. “Yeah but I’m bored, why can’t someone rob a store or something,” Tommy said still looking up at the sky watching as the clouds moved by. Tubbo sighed already done with his friend's antics, “You’re such an idiot.” Tommy laughed not taking offence at his friend's statement. “Aw, Nuke you don’t mean that do you,” Tommy said making his voice go higher.
“No, I definitely mean it,” Tubbo said with a monotone voice, Tommy gasped dramatically as if taking offence but his stifling of laughter said otherwise. “You’re so rude can’t I just talk with my best friend,” Tommy said hoping his statement would have irritated Tubbo. “And I’m out, have fun talking with yourself I’ll talk to you when something is happening,” Tubbo said quickly which was followed by the same short static noise and the sound of music now echoing louder from the headphones. Tommy let out a laugh once Tubbo was gone, clearly proud of his achievement of getting Tubbo to leave.
Tommy sighed before sitting back up, he looked back down again watching as fewer and fewer people filled the sidewalk from the day nearing to late in the afternoon. Tommy raised his right hand eying the black fingerless gloves before a small bright circle of light appeared on his palm and a flower appeared. He looked at it as it flouted just above his hand before making it spin in slow motion to see it better. He loved flowers, but the Amaryllis was the best. He never knew why he loved it so much but he didn't care that much, it was red and that was his favourite colour.
He watched the flower for a bit twirling it in his hand before it disintegrated, dwindling to nothing like its needs have been deprived for months but it’s only been seconds. Tommy sighed leaning back against his palms before a short static noise disrupted his music again, “There’s a fight between the SBI and Marionette by the bay warehouse, reports say Morionette needs backup” Tubbo spoke, Tommy jumped on his feet and started to take off towards the direction of the warehouse, he jumped from the rooftop to the next building smiling as he landed.
“Wait, are you being serious, the Marionette there,” Tommy spoke excitedly as he jumped to the next roof, “Don't start fanboying he’s up against the top villains I don’t want you to get distracted,” Tubbo sounded annoyed but Tommy could hear the concern in his voice, “Don’t worry Nuke, they won't even lay a hit on me, Lucid the greatest vigilante in all of the districts.” Tommy landed on the next roof spotting the next building but it was too tall to jump to. Tubbo laughed before replying to Tommy, “Don’t use too much of your energy I don’t know if the SBI knows you’re coming.” Tommy looked up raising his arm and letting vines shoot from his palm, the vines attached to the top of the building letting Tommy jump to the side of the building and let the vines lever him up as he ran.
“Don’t worry Nuke, Marionette isn’t one to ask for back up I doubt they’ll expect someone to come,” Tommy reached the top of the building seeing the warehouse in the distance he picked up speed. “Still, be careful they’re the top three villains for a reason,” Tubbo spoke worried about his friend's nonchalant response. Tommy jumped over the last few buildings before getting a clear view of the warehouse, “Alright Nuke I’ll report back to you after I’m done winning my fight against the SBI,” Tubbo sighed before replying, “Alright, be careful,” Tubbo sounded worried but Tommy paid it no mind, he waited for the static to end letting the music come loudly threw the earbuds once more.
Tommy tapped on the earbuds letting the music come to an abrupt stop, “Alright let’s do this,” Tommy jumped down catching himself on window sills before reaching the ground. Tommy ran toward the warehouse, the sound of the fight getting louder the closer he got, Tommy was a few feet by the entrance when Marionette shot threw the warehouse doors with the Blade following him to where Marionette landed pining him before he could get back up. Tommy stood there caught off guard by their sudden appearance. “Watch out, Siren spotted you,” the sound of chat echoed in Tommy’s head making him snap his head over to the warehouse entrance only to see Siren approaching.
Tommy raised his hand to his head and almost in a saluting manner but with his palm facing forward, signing hello. Siren stopped moving toward him tilting his head in confusion. “Now!” Chat screamed and in an instant, a vine shot threw Tommy's hand directly towards Siren’s face, clearly caught off guard he got hit in the face knocking him down.
HA
L
Pog
L Siren
Oh that worked
Chat rambled
Tommy stifled his laughter as best he can but it wasn’t enough for it to be unheard by Siren, “Wtf, what was that for,” before Tommy could respond chat spoke again, “Look at Blade,” Tommy looked over to Techno but with Siren still clear in his view, he made direct eye contact with the Blade making it harder not to laugh as he watch Marionette deck him and jump back on his feet a few feet away. Tommy tried to stifle his laughter but when both villains looked at him annoyed so he stopped laughing. As the Blade was annoyed Marionette jumped closer to Tommy but still a few yards away since he was unsure of his motives.
“What are you doing here,” Marionette asked, Tommy, signed help by making a thumb up with one hand and stamping it down on his other hand. Marionette watched in confusion, “Huh?” Marionette tilted his head before looking back at the villains recuperating and now facing them. Tommy rolled his eyes, before pointing at the villains which made Siren flinch and the Blade draw his sword. Tommy then made a line across his throat with his thumb indicating to Marionette he was there to help him. Marionette's eyes widened in realization, “Oh ok you’re on my side.”
Murder?
Pog murder
Yes Murder
Murder the SBI
Marionettes an idiot
Chat rambled on
“I don’t need back up I had everything under control,” Marionette looked back to the villains raising his hands ready to fight. Tommy looked to Marionette with an eyebrow raised not believing him whatsoever, Siren laughed, “Yeah right Blade was just about to kill you before he showed up to help.” The Blade laughed, “Clearly you didn’t have anything under control,” The Blade readied his sword to his side in case Marionette decided to charge. Tommy looked between the two feeling the tension.
FIGHT
I hope Marionette wins
Ooo Murder
I hope The Blade wins
Chat rambled
“Chat stop betting on who’s gonna win,” Tommy thought but before he could get chat to stop The Blade lunged forward towards Marionette, as the two were fighting Tommy began to step forward to help but chat disrupted his plan, “Stop Siren,” they yelled, Tommy looked over to Siren seeing him about to speak, in a swift motion Tommy shot another vine towards Siren's mouth making it wrap around his ears like a mask. Siren stumbled backward trying to peel off the vines but before he could tear them off Tommy sent a vine carrying a large flower on it.
The vine attached to Siren's arm, making him try to claw it off but as he touched the flower it sprayed mist into his eyes making him stumble backward and start rubbing his eyes with his sleeve. Tommy smiled at his achievement, “Holy shit I just got Siren caught off guard again”. “Siren's vision should be blurred but he can still fight,” Tommy shot another vine from his palm with a small flower attached to it “Let's fix that,” Tommy smirked as the flower landed on Siren's foot wrapping around his ankle before they dug themselves into the ground.
With a flick of Tommy's wrist, the vines pulled forward making Siren land on his back, Tommy knelt to the ground creating more vines and letting them push into the concrete. In an instant, the vines reappeared next to Siren. As the vines opened a hole into the concrete a flower blossomed from it, it opened to reveal a large thorn in the center, the vines pushed to Siren’s arm slicing it. Siren let yelled in anguish but it was muffled by the vines, Siren tried to sit up and check his injury before he felt the effects of the poison making him slump back down on his back. The only indication he was alive was the movement of his chest indicating he was still breathing.
Aw no murder
L Siren
Wait is he dead?
No, he’s sleeping
Tommy stood back up raising his head, “Oh shit I just took out Siren, one of the top villains,” Tommy thought, “Marionettes down,” chat yelled, Tommy snapped his head toward where Marionette and The Blade were fighting, only to widen his eyes in horror to Marionettes body laying on the ground and two blood red eyes looking over to Siren, Tommy took a step back only to stop when The Blade looked back at him freezing to a halt, “We fucked up” chat said in unison. “Angel!” The Blade yelled which made Tommy flinch back only to jump forward again to someone landing behind him.
He spun around on his heel to his side to see Angel, the number one villain glare at him with his wings opened wide creating a black void around him. “Double fuck” chat said and Tommy couldn’t agree more, Tommy didn't move he couldn't move if he tried he was frozen in fear, in an attempt to clear his name Tommy tried signing he’s alive and pointed to Siren with his hands shaking. And to his surprise, he did, “Lucky for you, if he wasn’t alive I’d have made you wish you were,” Tommy gulped looking around for an escape, “The Blades charging!” chat yelled.
Tommy spun back towards Blade only to see him a few feet in front of him, Tommy tried raising his arm to shoot some vines but Blade was quicker. The Blade push Tommy's arm down and punched him at the wall in front of Angel. Tommy fell to the ground with blood leaking from his head, slowly Tommy tried to stand but was frozen back in fear by the sound of a sword being drawn. He looked up to the Blade but his sword wasn’t drawn, so sheepishly he looked up to Angel, his eyes widened to see Angel's sword out and pointed towards Tommy.
“So I’ll let you have a painless death,” Angel said passing by Tommy to Siren, he knelt checking Siren’s pulse, and after a few seconds, he looked back up to The Blade, “He’s alive,” Tommy sighed hoping they’ll finally let him go. “Although you injured him and I can’t just let that go,” Angel added, Tommy looked over with wide eyes to where Angel was kneeling and felt his blood run cold as he saw him smirking, “Blade kill him.” Tommy snapped his head back to where the Blade was standing only to be smacked back into the wall by the Blade, Tommy started choking as the Blade grabbed his neck to pick him up.
Tommy's heart began racing as his chin began to turn to gold and then spread down to his neck, “I’ll start with the outside and then let you feel the pain of your organs stopping later,” The Blade smiled as he spoke making Tommy stare down at the ground trying to avoid eye contact, his eyes welled up with tears as he felt the side of his head turn to gold, his heart began to panic as he lost his sense of hearing leaving him to feel the pain, even more, Tommy tried closing his eyes but all he could see were flashes, in panic he opened his eyes to look at something else but the same flashing light was still there.
Tommy thought his eyes turned to gold but soon flashes of people he’s never seen before appeared in his mind. Flashes of a man hovering above him glaring at him, at first he thought it was just the Blade but this man had short brown hair not long pink. More flashes of people he’s never seen before appear in his mind, some being a woman yelling at him, bottles being shattered against the wall, and voices yelling with the sound of banging against something. The flashes came to an abrupt stop when he felt himself hit the ground at first he didn't move but the sound of the Blades' voice broke him from his daze, “Hey kid, are you alright,”
Tommy snapped his head up to look at the Blade eyes wide but then he became confused to see the person who was trying to kill him now look at him with concern and fear, it made Tommy freeze, he tried backing up to the wall but there was nowhere else to go. “Listen I just want to talk,” there was no malice in his voice but Tommy's breathing quickened, “He’s lying he’s just going to hurt you again,” Tommy thought. Tommy began looking around for an escape before Angel spoke up, “Blade what are you doing,” The Blade looked away from Tommy to Angel, “Go now!” Chat yelled, Tommy wasted no time jumping up on his feet and shooting a vine to a roof ahead and using it to lever himself up it.
He felt his chest turning back from gold to skin but painfully slow. Tommy turned around to see if any of them were following, but to his surprise, he saw the Blade holding up his arm against Angel to hold him back. Tommy didn't care at that moment why the Blade decided to spare him he just wanted to get somewhere safe. Tommy jumped to another roof with the feeling of gold peeling off his skin, he only made it a couple of blocks away before the pain became too much for him and he decided to hide out in an alleyway just in case they did come after him.
He hunched down next to some trash bags in the corner of the alleyway, trying to hide in the dark as best he could. He laid back against the wall trying to keep his eyes open he looked for the distress button on the side of his suit for Wraith to know he needs to be picked up. “Are you ok?” chat said in unison, Tommy didn’t answer at first only laying down too tired to keep himself up, “I’m fine chat just let me sleep,” chat went silent letting Tommy fall asleep.
—---------------------------------------
“Blade what are you doing,” Angel looked at Blade in confusion, as soon as Blade looked over at him he saw the guy run and instantly jumped up to chase after him. He only went a few feet before Blade put his arm in front of him, “What’s going on,” Angel said confused getting a little worried. The Blade looked at Angel trying to find the words to answer him but in the end, he just sighed. Angel now extremely concerned turned to Blade and ask again this time more softly, “What’s going on,” Blade looked up to Angel still looking concerned and scared from before, “Let’s just get Siren home I’ll tell you there,” Blade turned to Siren before Angel could answer but Angel didn’t argue instead he followed Blade to Siren to pick him up and took off into the sky going slow enough to follow Blade jump from building to building.
