Chapter Text

For the many years of Tommy’s life. He’s been referred to as Theseus. The words, “You want to be a hero Tommy? Then DIE like one!” repeat in his mind over and over. The name Theseus was used to describe him due to a similar backstory of who it originally belonged to. He fought for a country countless times only for said country to exile him twice, leading to his demise of attempted suicide. It failed and now he’s sat in his dirt shack questioning his entire existence. Purpled had started talking to him again, he didn’t quite understand why though. He was pretty sure the alien hated him from the things he did to him when they were younger. It was suspicious but he decided to pay no mind to it. He was pretty lonely anyway. 

If he had to describe himself as anyone else from Greek mythology, Eris and Hephaestus would fit him much better than Theseus did. 

Dream had escaped and after panicking, he gave up. Dream was going to come after him anyway. He wonders why the man is like that now in the first place. He always said Tommy was the problem, and if Tommy didn’t start L’manburg and all those wars none of the things he had gone through would have happened. But Dream could’ve gone about it a different way, and he didn’t. He liked the fear and submissiveness Tommy used to have in exile. He’d do anything the man told him to as long as it meant rewards instead of punishments. 

The two used to have a brotherly relationship, now it’s only Dream who still sees it that way. He was obsessed with the blonde to a terrifying degree. And all those words the man has said to him made him question how he looked. Tommy was born a cow hybrid, a moobloom specifically. A mushroom cow, like Henry! Red and white splotches spread around his skin, a little bit of fur on the bridge of his nose. Cow ears replacing human ears. Different types of red flowers would grow on his head, arms, and legs. Vines sometimes grow with them. Cow hooves that could shift into regular legs if he pleased.  After his revival, he woke up with horns and a longer tail. His horns started slightly small at first. But they soon grew and he saw the color they were. They were red with glossy black lines. They grew a little more a day after he left the prison. 

They reminded him of Jschlatt. They grew and curved in the same direction, if it weren’t for his hair color, he could be the man's son. But he’d rather die than have that ever happen. He wasn’t even technically born, he was created in a lab. Sam was his adoptive father, Phil being the other. He couldn’t trust the creeper hybrid as much after he was released from the prison. 

His hair had grown longer, almost into a shaggy mullet in a way. His new crimson red talons thanks to his demon features are too sharp and he has to be careful so that he doesn't harm himself or anyone. He didn’t know he was a demon specifically, he was always called a demon because of all the drama he causes or people say it in a fond way as a joke. 

He has Dreams' smile branded on his cheek, ruining some of the fur that sat on his face. He hated it but is unfortunately unable to get rid of it. Now he was currently outside of his dirt shack, thinking he should replace the dirt for better material. He thought of wood, nah. Cobblestone and concrete sound better. He gathered supplies as he left his home, finding a good place to go mining for the necessary materials. Running into Purpled on his way.

“Tommy, what are you up to?” they ask, raising an eyebrow. “Hey Purp, I'm going to go mining for materials to redo my home.” he replies. 

“Oh, can I help you? I know some pretty good places to go mining.”

Tommy hesitates, having an off vibe but agrees anyway. Following the purple loving alien, feeling more off as they start to head towards the woods. Purpled frowns as Tommy follows them. I’m sorry Tommy, I have no choice. 

They go deeper, the slight darkness of the atmosphere making him frightened. They stop after a while of walking, Tommy glanced around, feeling eyes on him. “Purp, where are we?” Tommy looked where the alien was supposed to be, only for him to disappear. “Purpled?” 

“I’m sorry Tommy.” they say, still nowhere to be seen in the demon’s view. “Purp, what do you mea-” the blonde is cut off as a pair of arms wrapped around him, the free hands keeping his mouth shut. He glanced down to see white sleeves. Punz . 

“Tommy, Tommy, Tommy. Did you really think I'd escape and not find a way to get you back? Leave my little brother alone without a little reunion? I can’t just have that. But, I need to mold you again though.” Dream coos, His white hair and horns standing out. This fucker thought Tommy more as a brother than his own, Tubbo. 

Tommy only whined, glancing at the magenta-eyed alien who had a guilty look in their eyes, but their facial expression was blank. He felt betrayed . But he should be used to that now. 

Tommy knew he was unable to win this, so he just gave in. He had no choice but to be compliant towards the man who had a brotherly obsession with him. No matter how much he despised him. 

He was nothing, he was broken. Nobody needs him, nor did they ever want him. Those were all the things said to him. 

He was used. 

He was abused. 

He was taken advantage of. 

He was a doll now, he was broken down until he was moldable. Now becoming a cruel man's winter soldier, becoming his younger brother. 

No more attachment to those stupid discs. Leaving the man to tell Punz to hand them over to Tubbo without a word, coming back with a bad slash in one of his arms due to the goat hybrid's rage of not knowing where their best friend went. 

The man didn't bother or didn’t try to fight back, not because he didn’t try, but he was caught off guard by the boy hitting, slicing him in the arm with an iron axe he had on him ironically. 

Nobody knew where Tommy went, becoming suspicious of Purpled since he was the last person seen with the moobloom hybrid.

Tommy stood silent as Dream did not give the command to repeat the mantra. Instead, Dream kept an extremely close eye on the now non-blonde demonic moobloom hybrid, one who stared forward like nothing else had ever mattered to him. 

He was a little brother. 

He was a winter soldier now.

It’s been a few months since Tommy disappeared. The only people who knew where the blue-eyed blonde was other than Dream was Punz and Purpled. Tommy was..no longer Tommy anymore. 

His hair matched Dreams now, completely white . His horns grew a bit, they became more glossy as well, glowing in any type of light. He showed no emotions towards anyone but Dream, sometimes even Purpled and Punz. but they were positive emotions. His beautiful sapphire blue eyes had turned into an emerald green with silver, a marble-like effect. 

He mainly obeyed Dream, his big brother! He almost replicated the man now. 

He was taught training for 8 hours everyday, he was fed well if he behaved, he could spend time with Dream if he had time, and then he’d sleep. 

He has these weird dreams , sometimes. Like this isn’t the way he was or should be, that he was forced to be the way he is now. That Dream was sick . But that wasn’t true, Dream’s amazing! 

Purpled would shoot him sad looks sometimes during training or when they ever got to spend time together. He didn’t know why though. 

Tommy was strapped to a table that was laying up, he’d only been captured for a few days and Dream’s already doing experiments on him. Purpled couldn’t bear to watch so he left the room, Punz stayed to help Dream. 

“D-Dream, let me go!” he attempted to get untied as he thrashed around. 

“Ah ah, Tommy. We need to fix you first before you could start doing anything on your own again.” 

“Wha-” Dream injects him, beats him, tortures him. And he revived him everytime he died. His hair turned white, and the things they injected him with affected his memory and emotional state. 

He was killed and revived so many times that he lost count after 30. 

Dream coos at the teenage boy who’s soon going to become his little brother again. 

The flowers that grew from his body had now changed. They come in different colors and different types of flowers. Not just red anymore like he was born with, it all changed because all the experiments affected the moobloom part of him now. Well, he was born a mushroom cow. 

Now he grew pink camellias more, he dearly longed for the one who stayed for him and actually cared. A family member, a friend, anyone really. It’s their meaning, the longing for someone and given to those who are missed. 

Dark crimson roses when he thought of Wilbur, meaning he mourned the person who he will never forget or stop loving despite the control he was under. He often forgot the brunette, but those Dreams always reminded him that he still hasn’t recovered from it. From his death. The memories of this man also made him grow white carnations, pink carnations, cyclamen, daisies. 

White roses grew when he started to change. His hair, his eyes, his personality, his emotional state; everything. He grew even more daisies during this time as well. 

He grew many different flowers, and Dream found it adorable everytime he did it. 

Punz grew fond of the cow hybrid, feeling a tad bad that he had to be put through this in the first place. But he couldn’t care too much, he was given power he wanted to keep it thank you very much. 

Purpled just cried himself to sleep or self loathe on themself when Tommy grew any type of Positive flower around xem. He didn’t understand why, and probably never would. Tommy’s undying hope, love, and loyalty was too strong despite the situation. Tommy always grew flowers for them when the two were younger. They were often a slightly dark red or yellow rose. (Tommy knows the red ones are love apology symbolism, strictly platonic you fuckers) 

Tommy didn’t grow flowers from his body that weren't yellow, red, or white, sometimes pink but it was rare. So he often found seeds and planted them in a garden. Blue Hyacinths, pink carnations, pink roses, lily of the valley, white orchids, sunflowers (he grew them from his body, along with the white flowers, and maybe the pink ones), white tulips,  any flowers that were meant as some sort of apology. 

Purpled either ignored or didn’t care about the apologies then, too pissed off to hear what the mushroom cow hybrid had to say or show xem. Despite the blonde’s sincerity, the alien never cared, so he gave up on trying a year after their whole drama or mini battle. 

No words defined how deeply they now regret it.

Wilbur sat on the ground of his limbo for what seemed and felt like a decade. It was actually since time worked differently in limbo. But despite probably being in his mid forties or something, he still looked like he was in his early thirties or mid twenties. 

Limbo drove him a bit more crazy. 

He wonders how Tommy is doing while he’s in this hellhole of a train platform. He knew of the blonde’s undying love and loyalty to him, it was cute. He once found it annoying and useful during pogtopia, using it to his advantage. Now he didn’t really know what to think of it. 

But now, he can no longer know where Tommy is. He was just revived a few minutes ago by Dream and everyone had said Tommy had disappeared and hadn't been seen in almost a year. Now, that was odd. 

Dream was missing, Tommy was missing, 

Things didn’t add up, so he decided to go ask Techno and Phil if they had seen the moobloom hybrid they had adopted into their family many years ago. 

“Mate, I haven’t seen Toms in a while. Especially since he went missing, I went to one of the search parties and there was no luck. Everyone gave up despite me wishing they didn’t!” Phil explains, tears threatening to spill. He knows he wronged Tommy and Wilbur, he still loves them, but that doesn’t mean what he did was right. 

“Techno didn’t join because of his now even more extreme disgust towards the government of L’manburg, nobody knows where he is. People are suspecting Purpled since xe was the last one seen with him, and nobody knows where Dream is. So they’re trying to find him as well.” 

“And I still wanna beat them to a pulp.” Techno adds. “Even more than I originally did now actually.”

“Techno,” Phil snorts. “Not helping the situation.”

“Bruh.” 

Wilbur snorts at his twin's antics, interrupted when there a bunch of angry knocks at the door. Phil answers the door, slightly tensing when he sees who it is. A very livid Tubbo, a scarily calm pissed off Ranboo, and a very timid and anti-social Purpled. “Tubbo, what are you doing here?” Techno asks, coming up from behind Phil. “You know you are not welcome here.” he sneers. 

“Yeah, I know Technoblade. But mx.alien dude has something important to say and we’re here to make sure they admit it.” The ¾ family looks towards a very guilty looking alien. 

“Purpled,” Wilbur starts. “Does this have to do with Tommy’s disappearance?” he asks, his eyes narrowing at the magenta-eyed teen. Purpled hesitantly nods. He couldn’t take it anymore, he hated it all, xe never wanted this. 

“Explain.” Techno snarls. 

“A few months after Tommy was revived and after he escaped, Dream asked me to get Tommy. But asked me to get him to trust me first. I said no, I used to be friends with him and we have.. Unsolved issues. He then offered to help me get back home, and I desperately wanted to go home. I hated myself for agreeing. I know it’s selfish for wanting my own needs, I actually was hoping they finished fixing my UFO before I had to bring Tommy to him, so I can take Tommy away with me. But they barely even started it. And.. other threats were made if I didn’t do what he said. Punz won’t help because he’s too obsessed with some of the power Dream gave him. So I had no other choice, I may not have been friends with Tommy anymore before that but I..didn’t want this .” 

The entire room went silent. Purpled tensed up, expecting any yelling or hitting. Anything to scold them for helping Dream get Tommy. But they didn’t. 

The family was seething, the duo behind xem getting even more pissed than humanly possible. “I’m sorry.” he whimpers. 

“Sorry really isn’t going to help now is it?” Tubbo spat. 

“You think I don’t KNOW THAT?!” they all grimaced at the alien’s tone. “I know I fucked up, everyone on this fucking hellhole of a server at some point has done something stupid. It’s Dream, I never would’ve done this in the first place if he didn’t know I wanted to go home. But he did, he knows my attachment towards my dog and my UFO. but, I couldn’t do anything about it. I may be a mercenary but I’m not as strong as him. I’d..”

“Rather not speak about the threats.” 

“Okay, let’s not overwhelm them.” Phil says, “mate, do you know what they’re doing to him?” 

Purpled tenses, “y-yeah.” 

“What happened? Take your time.” 

“A few days after they captured him, he was murdered and revived multiple times. I lost count after 30.” 

“Wait, fuckin’ 30 ?!” Wilbur seethes. 

“That doesn’t make sense, there was no notification that he even died after he had gone missing.” Ranboo says, staring at their communicator. 

“They did something that had allowed the chat not to be notified when he died. I don’t know what though.” 

“What else did they do?”

“Brainwashing, I don’t know. I never watched them experiment on him.” 

“Heh?!” 

“Yeah, they did something to his memories, he’ll mainly only obey Dream. He now is able to grow other flowers than the ones he was born to grow. His hair is white.” 

The atmosphere in the room was tense. “What?” is the only thing that was said, coming from Phil. Purpled turned on their communicator, the screen facing the ceiling as it lit up, forming into a hologram. Xe set the communicator on the floor as everyone tensed at the hologram. 

It was Tommy. 

Snow white hair that has grown into a sort of shaggy mullet and became extremely fluffy, making his red and white cow ears stand out if it weren’t for the large ram shaped demon horns on his head. Reminding them all of Jschlatt. 

His cow tail much longer, the fluffy part of it looking sharp enough to cut flesh. 

Sapphire blue eyes turn into a mix of Emerald green and silver. 

His wardrobe changed to an extreme. 

Black turtleneck, black cargo pants, fingerless black gloves, combat boots, belts and buckles, and some chains. It was odd seeing Tommy this way, scary almost. The mushroom cow hybrid stood in a straight stance, hands in his pockets, his face was completely emotionless. 

“He looks.. So dull .” Ranboo whispers, despite everyone probably hearing it.

“Yeah.” the alien breathes, “like a doll.” 

“He doesn’t remember his own name, Dream made him change it.” 

“To what?” Wilbur asks. 

“Eris.” 

Techno tenses, knowing the name. “Eris Huh?” 

“Yeah, he said it was a Greek Mythology thing or something.” 

“What does the name mean?” Tubbo questioned, eyes curious. 

“ Eris was the goddess of jealousy, strife, discord, contention and rivalry. She was the one that threw the golden apple at the wedding of Thetis and Peleus because they did not invite her. Her action was the starting point that would later lead to the epic Trojan war. She was often portrayed, more specifically, as the daimona of the strife of war, haunting the battlefield and delighting in human bloodshed.” 

“Why would Tommy choose that name?” Wilbur blurts out, accidentally saying his thoughts out loud. 

“Think about it.” Ranboo starts, “Tommy didn’t exactly see eye to eye with me at first, we got a long a little while before his second exile, he was mad that nobody told him anything and me and bee getting platonically married. But he warmed up to me more after he learned we were happy.” 

“Okay, I get that. What about the other things?” 

“A lot of people on the server want Tommy’s head on a stick for starting shit with them despite some of them not even being his fault.” Phil says, “for example, the eggpire. Tommy is immune and they didn’t like that.” 

“Or Niki and Jack.” Tubbo sneers. 

“Wait, what about Niki?” Ranboo asks, extremely confused. 

“I found out that her and Jack tried to kill him with one of my nukes.” 

“Heh?!” 

Purpled choked on air, “When the fuck did you get nukes!?” 

“Safety.” Tubbo deadpanned. 

“Another thing, me and Tommy fought in wars. So the bloodshed and the battlefield is another thing.” 

“He doesn’t like being called Theseus anymore.” Purpled says. 

“Why?” Technos eyes narrowed. 

“Before they captured him, he told me the name didn’t feel good to him after the whole execution and blowing up L’manburg thing. He said it felt more like a haunting memory than a fond nickname that his adoptive brother gave him.” 

Techno grimaces and flinches a bit, he didn’t know the impact of that would be so bad. 

Child hates the nickname

EEEEEEEEEE

Theseus is a traitor! 

Shut up, stop calling him that!

Child

Runt no longer has golden hair:(

EEEEEE

Let’s decapitate Dream’s head and keep his skull as a trophy!

YESSSSSSS

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD

Cow demon child looks badass

Damn he look like Schlatt but the better version

CHILD

Compare him to government asshole again and I will cut you

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD

SAVE RUNT

“Chat, please shut up.” Techno mutters, groaning. 

They’re all silent for a bit. 

Wilbur speaks up, breaking the awkward silence. “What are we going to do now?” 

“Plan.” Techno answers.

“Eris.” Dream says. 

“Yes Dream?” Eris answers, beaming at his their big brother. 

“You look anxious, anything on your mind?” he asks, playing with the cow hybrid's fluffy white  hair. 

“I don’t feel comfortable with He/Him pronouns anymore, can I use They/Them instead?” they ask, leaning into the touch. 

“Sure Eris, I don’t care how you identify as long as you know you’re mine. Alright?” he coos. Tommy nods and falls asleep in the arms of their older brother as the tv plays a movie, Moana. (yes, moana is boss woman. Fuck off.)

Dreams smiles possessively, holding his sleeping baby brother in his arms as he pets them, them purring in return. Something he did not know or think cow hybrids could do, but he didn’t mind. 

Yeah, Eris is never leaving. 

Chapter Text

“Are we sure we have to ask Sam to help us?” Techno whines. “Techno, out of everyone in this server, you and him are literal tanks. And he has things that are very useful.” Phil answers, very amused.

Techno wanted to protest, but he has a point. Plus, Sam obviously would wanna help the person he let down to make up for the mistakes they’ve made. Plus, when you’re born in a family of gods, you have an advantage. You have access to things that even an admin can’t get. 

He didn’t actually know Tommy’s origins, they found the kid in the woods in a hospital gown with a bunch of scars and bandages on their small body. Tommy said that they technically weren’t even born. They were made as a child, with the DNA that the moobloom hybrid did not ever find out. 

It was odd though, Tommy looked suspiciously like Purpled, the British version of the American alien. But Tommy wasn’t an alien, well, they never showed signs of being one. and he didn’t know Purpled well enough to know xes backstory. And even if he asked them, he probably wouldn’t know as well. 

GOLDEN DUO SIBLINGS POG?

Tommy’s not even an alien, what the hell are you on about?

EEEEEEEEEE

Lol, imagine an american Tommy

POGCHAMP

Maybe they’re related and don’t know?

RUNT

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD

NEW RUNT? 

GOLD

LOLOLOL

EEEEEEEE

Techno snorts and chat quiets down, chanting small ‘goldenduo pog’ every once and a while.

He wouldn’t question it, for now. 

He was so out of it that he didn’t even notice Phil talking with Sam, he walked up to them to see the progress of their whole Tommy plan confrontation. 

“Alright, and what would I get out of it? I want Tommy safe and have Dream put in prison.” 

Phil smirks, “we have things that not even Dream has access to. If we gave some of it to you to upgrade the cell so that he never gets out, would you consider helping?” Sam instantly nods, “what exactly do you have? Or what are you able to get?” 

“We have invisible blocks that are indestructible unless DreamXD breaks it, multiple netherite, obsidian, bedrock, redstone, anything useful and powerful enough to keep Dream from ever escaping again.” Phil explains and Techno can sense the sadistic smirk from behind the creeper hybrids gas mask. “Okay then, we have a deal.” 

“Splendid, now, we need you to call for backup. Anyone willing to help, we’ll need it before we actually get to planning .” 

“Sir, we have acquired the alien and the animals.” a man spoke. “Wonderful, restrain it.” P̘͎̀͊r̶̷̲͍̭͐̾̀͟i̵͓͙̱͚̎͟m̶̷͔ͪ̽͡ę̷̵̧̖̫̗̆̊ spoke. 

₱ɄⱤ₱ⱠɆĐ thrashed in the scientists arms, “NO! LET ME GO!” 

“Now now, dear alien. We need you to create something, and when we’re done, we’ll erase the memory that this ever happened and we’ll return you to where you came from.” 

₱ɄⱤ₱ⱠɆĐ still thrashed and kicked as the scientist restrained them, what were they going to do with xem? They wanted to create something, but why does he have to be dragged into all this? He just crashed from a space airpod since their planet was under attack a few weeks ago and now xes being experimented on. They just wanted to build a spaceship somehow and go home. 

“Don’t worry young one,” P̘͎̀͊r̶̷̲͍̭͐̾̀͟i̵͓͙̱͚̎͟m̶̷͔ͪ̽͡ę̷̵̧̖̫̗̆̊ coos. “It’ll all be over soon.”

The alien whines, being injected with an unusual liquid to paralyze him and make them fall asleep. The scientists kneeled before their god, “what is your next move, lord P̘͎̀͊r̶̷̲͍̭͐̾̀͟i̵͓͙̱͚̎͟m̶̷͔ͪ̽͡ę̷̵̧̖̫̗̆̊? ” 

“I want to inject a sample of my blood into the small alien, and his new sibling . I don’t want them to be lonely, so adding a bit of myself to them will make them feel,” 

“ complete .” 

The god smiled, yes the way they planned to have a family without intimate measures was far but, what other choice do they have? 

They didn’t know the little alien boy’s name, so they named xem Ares. The alien seemed perfect, a fighter.  It fit them perfectly, his twin would be similar. They’re both chaotic little spitfires. Ares was the ancient Greek god of war or, more properly, the spirit of battle. He represented the distasteful aspects of brutal warfare and slaughter. Ares was never very popular, and his worship was not extensive in Greece. 

Xes twin however, will be named Eris. Eris was the goddess of jealousy, strife, discord, contention and rivalry. She was the one that threw the golden apple at the wedding of Thetis and Peleus because they did not invite her. Her action was the starting point that would later lead to the epic Trojan war. She was often portrayed, more specifically, as the daimona of the strife of war, haunting the battlefield and delighting in human bloodshed

The god never wishes for their children to be underappreciated and disrespected. They cannot allow that, so they’ll train the kids. They’ll be gold, demigods. And if they ever forget of what they are meant to be, or someone ever messes with them, a simple few words will put those who have wronged them rightfully in their place. 

“Rise my solar soldiers, you have a bright future ahead of you.” 

The last thing the small alien remembers before they were sent to get their memory erased other than the skill and muscle memory of combat, was their newly made twin. 

They brought a mushroom cow hybrid, a moobloom in with him when the scientist captured xem. Their twin only had small alien features, similar to him. Marks that looks similar to having four eyes, but theirs almost blended into their skin because of their fur. Only able to see it if you’re up close. Red, black, and white freckles that perfectly replicated his purple and white ones. 

White talons that fade into the arm and stop at the elbow, same with their legs, hooves replacing feet but with the ability to shift to have human legs if they pleased. 

Sapphire blue eyes, and golden blonde hair. A face who looked almost exactly like them. Inside the hair, stood glowing red antennae. They were small enough to be hidden by the golden crown of hair. 

They were both trained and rewarded with affection from the lord who claimed to be their father or mother, they don’t fucking know. 

They don’t know how long the two were there, but long enough to be at least 3 years at most. Xe was 6 when they were taken, now they are both 9. 

After they were released, they remembered nothing about each other. 

They don’t know if their new twin continued training like xe did, but he hoped they could reunite again someday. 

Purpled was confused, everyone was confused actually. They felt these random phantom pains and weird memories. It happened out of nowhere. 

It’s like they should remember something but they don’t. 

Do not fret, solar soldier. You will remember everything soon. 

What?

Purpled decided not to question it for now. But he thought about Tommy. The brit looked a lot like xem, a little too much. It’s like the moobloom hybrid was the British version of them. 

But if they were related, why couldn’t they remember them? 

They didn’t know, it was weird. 

Which is why it confused xem when Phil and Techno asked him if they were related to Tommy. 

“I genuinely don’t know, I get these weird memories of us meeting before we said we met.”

“Can you tell us what you remember?” Techno asked, raising an eyebrow. 

Purpled nods, “I remember a lab, golden blood, Tommy, and my supposed parent or something. I don’t remember if I even had biological parents.”

“Was Tommy with you when you were there?” 

“Uhm- when I first got there, no. I was there for three years before I was released. The only thing I remember is that I was brought there to create something.”

A switch goes on in Technos head, “Purpled, didn’t Tommy say they weren’t born. They were made?”

Xe nods, “then, does that make you.. Brothers?” 

Purpled tenses. “I- I don’t know.” 

“Is there any way we can confirm it?” 

Purpled attempts to speak but Techno beats him to it, “I do.” 

“How mate?” 

“When Tommy was little they had this weird obsession of keeping any blood they lost in a jar and it never dried and it had white in it.” Techno says, going to a cabinet and pulling out a jar. 

The alien choked, “the fuck?!”

“Yeah, I don’t know why they did it. They just saw that I liked blood and did it to impress me and now they’re obsessed with it.”

“Techno, mate, why was I never informed of this?”

Techno snorts and Phil groans, amused. 

“How are we going to do this?” Purpled asks. 

“We’re going to check if your blood matches with Tommy’s. But first, are you afraid of needles?” 

Tommy’s his brother. 

They were all in denial, the results came after about a day of waiting to figure out if Tommy’s their twin. And they are, fucking hell. 

“There’s no way..” Phil mutters. 

“What the fuck?!” Wilbur blurts out, still shocked. 

Techno didn’t say anything, he was processing what he had just found out. Tommy is Purpled’s brother. 

“But you’re an alien, how come they don’t look like one.” 

“The antennae are hidden and you can barely see the celestial freckles or marks that make it look like they have four eyes because of their fur.”

It’s silent, the tension is extremely thick. 

“That’s interesting information to take in.” Wilbur deadpanned. 

Eris was sparring with Dream, they had a sudden muscle memory of professional combat despite Dream training them. Greater than Dream, that’s how well Eris’ muscle memory of fighting is. 

Eris’ stance is calculated. Watching Dream recover from a blow Eris gave them to the gut, it was a pretty hard kick. It only took 15 seconds for the man to recover, pathetic . Eris recovered from a kick much faster than that. 

Punz is watching them, Purpled by his side. The alien looked uncomfortable but concealed their emotion and kept it flat. 

Dream kept his focus and the two circled each other, Eris blocked a punch and avoided a kick to the ribs, knocking Dream off his feet and the air almost being knocked out of the man before he flipped backwards, landing on his feet. 

Dream was genuinely confused, he had harmed Eris in so many ways and the kid was beating him. He didn’t understand, this was Technoblade level combat. A well oiled machine, he didn’t understand. But he was proud, Eris was stronger than they looked. He only got a few hits on the cow hybrid, they were hard but they recovered from quickly. 

Eris switched from offensive to defensive every second, getting very good hits on him. Dream landed a few decent hits on them as well. 

Show him solar soldier, you are more than the winter

Dream lunged at them and grabbed their wrist, flipping Eris over their shoulder. In turn, getting the air completely knocked out of him by Eris kicking his legs out from below him. Falling to the ground, Tommy used their foot to pin him down. 

One, two , three . 

“Eris wins.” Punz announces. 

Eris gets off and lets Dream recover, the white haired man staring at cold eyes. He has never seen Eris this way, it was odd. 

Dream gets up and wraps Eris in a hug. “Good job Eris.”

“Thank you Dream!” 

From the corner, Purpled plans to make Tommy remember that this isn’t them. 

You are Eris

No you are Tommy

No, Eris

No, Tommy

ERIS

TOMMY

ERIS

TOMMY

They remember all the harsh punishments Dream gave them in exile, friends don’t do the things he did. He wasn’t Tommy’s friend. No, he is my friend. 

He’s not. 

NO

For the next few months Purpled did small things to make Tommy remember. But then one day, xe was caught trying to help them. And they were chased out, he betrayed Dream and Punz. 

They didn’t see Tommy until it was finally time to go through with the plan. 

They messed up, and now Tommy’s paying for it. 

He didn’t like that Quackity was there, but the duck hybrid cared about the kid. They all messed up and hurt Tommy, Niki and Jack surprisingly joined. 

Purpled spies everyday to make sure they didn’t move to another place, they didn’t. The group consisted of Puffy, Quackity, Wilbur, Tubbo, Ranboo, Techno, Phil, Sam, Niki, Jack, and Eryn surprisingly. 

It surprised them that Eryn was Joining, but the demon was friends with the moobloom hybrid. That’s a normal reaction to wanting to bring someone you care for back. 

Foolish was babysitting Michael. 

They hid underground somewhere in snowchester. 

The group stopped a few steps before getting closer to where they were, Techno explaining the entire plan. 

“Me, Sam, Puffy, Quackity, and Phil will take care of Dream. Eryn, Tubbo, Ranboo, and Jack will deal with Punz.” 

“And Me and Purpled?” Niki asks. 

“Out of everyone he saw as family, he’d probably listen to you two the most.” Wilbur answers, a fond smile on his face. Niki tears up a bit, not understanding how Tommy could still see her in a positive light despite the things she did. She blinks them away and her expression turns serious.

She turns to Purpled, 

“Let’s do this.” 

Chapter Text

“They’re on their way now, Dream.” a now hypnotized Punz says. 

Him and Dream had gotten into a fight about how he almost hurt Purpled, and if he did it again he’d betray Dream as well and take the power for himself. And look where that got him.

“Good, I want our little audience to see how traitors are dealt with.” Dream snarls, a sadistic smile on his face. His green eyes laced with toxic venom with every calculated look. 

Somewhere in Punz's body, he screams. Not wanting Dream to harm his brother. 

They all looked inside, all of them trying to be stealthy as they searched around the underground place. Dream and Punz stood on a balcony that connected to stairs on the left and the right. 

It’s been an hour since they entered and the atmosphere felt extremely tense at the moment. 

Something seemed off about Punz, his four blue eyes weren’t an ice cold blue anymore. They were a toxic green, no.. Dream couldn’t have.

The other alien that was his big brother was now under control of a sadistic man with sick fantasies of the server being peaceful again, in his way. 

“Wonderful, I’m glad you all made it!” Dream says, his eyes watching everyone in the room. “Especially you Purpled.” he smiles, Purpled flinches a bit.

“Where is Tommy, Dream?!” Quackity snarls. 

“Oh, they’re not Tommy anymore. I’d like to introduce you to someone!” Dream claps and a new figure steps out for everyone to see,

Tommy . 

White hair , large ram shaped demon horns with an ivory and black flower crown with feathers standing out , an outfit that's normally be in black but is in white and silver , they looked like they belonged to the winter. They were winter. Everyone just stared into the cow hybrids now green eyes. 

“This is my apprentice, Eris .” Dream introduces. 

Everyone gasps at the sight of Eris, the ones who have learned what they recently looked like just tensed. 

“Tommy, no..” Tubbo breathes, tears threatening to spill as Ranboo comforts him. The enderman hybrid frowns, sad that their friend had turned out this way because of a man's sick desire of wanting Tommy as a younger brother. Quackity flinches, the cow hybrids horns reminding him of Schlatt. Eryn is frozen in place, unable to accept that this is what happened to his best friend. Niki chokes on a sob as Jack comforts her, feeling a weird amount of guilty emotions move through his body. 

Puffy did sob, not understanding why someone she raised as her own child when his father didn’t, treated a minor this way and put them through all of this because he wanted something so simple yet the way he did it was to an undefinable extreme. And she loved Tommy, the kid was finally starting to open up more in their therapy sessions with the sheep hybrid. Now it is all gone. Sam, however, was seething with anger at the admin. How dare he do this to his son?!

Wilbur teared up and seethed, he was livid. He was unable to believe he worshiped a man who did this to his brother. The brunette was getting lost in his piglin instincts to protect Tommy, Techno was growling at the man who he said he was owed a favor to in the past. Phil's wings puffed up and started to flare out, his wings giving away his anger despite his facial expression being scarily calm. 

P̘͎̀͊r̶̷̲͍̭͐̾̀͟i̵͓͙̱͚̎͟m̶̷͔ͪ̽͡ę̷̵̧̖̫̗̆̊ watches his son be hypnotized by an admin who would soon deeply regret ever laying a hand on their head, their other young one, who will soon rise from xes demise and truly become the demigod they are, along with their twin. 

“You should watch whose young ones you mess with, Dream. I’m not the only lord who’s keeping a protective eye on the young ones.” 

Beside them, stood Ḋ̤͇̮͙ͥr̶̷̲͍̭͐̾̀͟ę̷̵̧̖̫̗̆̊ă̶̸̝ͦ͊̿͋͞m̶̷͔ͪ̽͡X̸̵̨ͦ̒ͣḊ̤͇̮͙ͥ and the G̛͔͇̞̹̈̀͘͘͟ȍ̸̢̢̮͚̐̚d̸̡̩͍̔ͥ͜d̸̡̩͍̔ͥ͜ę̷̵̧̖̫̗̆̊s̩͙͖̋͛͟s̩͙͖̋͛͟ ȍ̸̢̢̮͚̐̚f̷̵̫̞̉͢ Ḋ̤͇̮͙ͥę̷̵̧̖̫̗̆̊ă̶̸̝ͦ͊̿͋͞t̴͕͖͓̀h̶̯̰̝̻̿̓͢. They all smiled for the rise of their young ones. 

Ḋ̤͇̮͙ͥę̷̵̧̖̫̗̆̊ă̶̸̝ͦ͊̿͋͞t̴͕͖͓̀h̶̯̰̝̻̿̓͢ smiles sadly, sad that her adoptive son ended up this way in the hands of someone so cruel. 

Ḋ̤͇̮͙ͥr̶̷̲͍̭͐̾̀͟ę̷̵̧̖̫̗̆̊ă̶̸̝ͦ͊̿͋͞m̶̷͔ͪ̽͡X̸̵̨ͦ̒ͣḊ̤͇̮͙ͥ watches protectively, having to have promised to keep an eye on the other gods young ones, their solar soldiers. 

“My apprentice here is very good, they obey my every word, they love me, and they do commands without hesitation.” Dream coos, wrapping his arms around his winter soldier in a brotherly possessive manor. 

Wilbur seethes at the tenderly toxic moment. Tommy didn’t seem to have any part of who they used to be in their entire body anymore. They just stood there and let Dream do whatever he pleased. It made him sick . 

“Now, since we’re all here. We’re going to have a little show .” 

“What kind of show exactly?” Techno questioned, raising a suspicious eyebrow at the admin with a god complex. 

“On how I deal with a traitor, or, how I'll command Eris to deal with a traitor.” he answers, smirking evilly at the purple loving alien, who in return, glares and flinches. “Fuck you!” Purpled spat, “Come on Purpled, don’t be like that. I know you want to go home, don’t you?” 

“Yes, I want to go home! But I would’ve been fine trying to find a way to do it all over again by myself .” Quackity tenses, Purpled snarls. “And who knows how long that would take you? Probably years.” Dream laughs and the blonde alien glares at him. 

“Now that I think about it, I would’ve done anything but this! I never wanted this!”

“Then why did you agree?” Dream cocks his head to the side. And Purpled ignores the shocked stares everyone gave xem. 

“Because I was selfish and I just wanted to go home! And don’t you dare, say I’m selfish because everyone in this fucking room is selfish and has done something stupid whether they’d like to admit or not. Even you!” 

Dream stares at him, his eyes narrowing. He hums, “I won’t say you’re wrong about that, because it’s true that we’ve all done something wrong. But it’s still your fault for accepting to help me because of the longing to go back to your home planet.” 

Purpled glares and Dream turns to Eris. “Eris, kill them.” he commands, pointing to the blonde alien. Eris nods, and everyone gasps at the moobloom hybrid who started to move without hesitation. “And everyone, don’t bother interfering with their fight. You’ll be extremely injured if you’re caught in the crossfire.” 

Punz still internally screams at Dream for telling Eris to kill their brother. 

“Toms, please think about this.” Wilbur pleads, Eris paid no mind to the brunette piglin hybrid. Jumping onto the railing of the balcony and lunges at Purpled, kicking them with a force that almost knocks xem down. Their back hit a wall and it cracked, breaking even more when Eris threw a punch and he avoided it, a new hole now in the wall. 

The two teens danced in a violent tango. Tommy threw a blow at xem and he only managed to block a few of them, then switching to be offensive and lunge at Eris. Eris only got 3 good hits from Purpled but did not even barely flinch. 

Everyone watched in anxiety and horror at the two fighting minors who threw hard blows at each other. Techno felt slightly intimidated by their fighting skills since it constantly went back and forth. Purpled went offensive, landed a few hits, Eris then offensive, landed even more hits. 

Eris then suddenly pulled out a throwing knife and it launched into Purpled’s shoulder. Yelling ‘Fuck!’ as he started to get a bit tired from dodging Eris’ hits and kicks on them. Neither of them realized the fight was starting to move outside into the snow. 

The anxiety of everyone grew when the two kept getting closer to a cliff. Purpled was starting to get sloppy, allowing Eris to kick him in the shins and cause the alien gasp. Xe didn’t know where Eris got another knife from, but that was the least of his worries right now. Their brother was about to fucking kill xem. 

The air was knocked out of him when Eris flipped them over their shoulder, leaving Purpled to whine as the pain started to grow. 

Eris grabbed his throat, choking xem as they held them over the edge of the cliff, a sharp dagger in their hand. Purpled couldn’t breathe, and the pain in his body didn’t make that any better. 

Eris Tommy whispers before plunging the dagger deep into the alien's torso, where they thought Purpleds heart would be. “I’m sorry, brother.” 

Eris lets go and everyone screams, Punz is frozen as his body betrays him and doesn’t allow him to stop Eris from killing his brother. But then he remembered, an alien's heart is not located on the left side of the chest, it was on the right side. So maybe they’ll survive. 

And Purpled, xe falls. 

A picture of a child version of him and Tommy sitting in a garden making flower crowns falls on their chest, starting to soak in black  blood. 

Solar Soldier, you will fall twice;

But you will rise only so many

You might lose twice

But they will see you rise above many

The child of Prime

Is what you are

The child of Prime

Will become a star

“It is not your time, solar soldier. You will thrive and you will rise. Live, my young one.” 

Purpled awakes. 

Tommy’s given a new bruise for not successfully killing Purpled, Dream being disappointed in their younger brother. 

When they awake, he is in pain. 

“Fuck!” Purpled hisses. A pair of arms softly pushes xem down, Purpled looks at the person, Phil. “Be careful mate.” Purpled groans, “How long have I been out?” 

“A week,” he answers calmly.

Purpled chokes. “Wait, a fucking week ?!” 

“Yup.” he answers, popping the p. 

“Fucking hell.” he spat, throwing their legs over the edge of the bed. 

“We gave you several healing potions and you should be good to be able to walk in a few minutes.” 

I can’t stay here.. Tommy, Punz

Phil notices the distressed look on Purpleds face, longing to help xes brothers. 

“I-” Purpled stutters, “mate, I know you wanna go and help. We all do, but you’re still in recovery-” Purpled cuts him off. “No! Fuck that, I’m helping my brothers.” they hissed. 

Purpled jumps out of bed, being good to walk already, quickly put on their boots, and fucking ran. Phil rushed to text everyone on their communicator, sprinting after Purpled. 

Ph1lza: @everyone. Head to snowchester, Purpled’s heading there again to fight Dream again. 

He kept sprinting after the blonde alien, not caring about the incoming texts from everyone and grabbing armor and weapons, his two sons following him. The adrenaline was high while Purpled ran, the pain not even being their biggest priority right now. Xes biggest priority was getting their brothers back and away from Dream, even if it means fucking dying. 

The server was in a panic, grabbing armor and weapons as they rushed to snowchester. 

By the time the alien got there, Sam, Phil, Quackity, and Techno were fighting Dream who was holding himself surprisingly well but with a struggle since there were four people trying to put his head on a stick. 

In the middle of the snow, stood Eris and Punz. their older brother pointing at xem and Eris moved without a thought. 

Punz watched his baby brother return, he didn’t have a shirt, leaving the bandages around their torso and arms to somewhat cover xes vulnerability. Their tail was wagging, but not in a positive way, xe was pissed . His antennae and purple marks glow pink. 

Eris lunged at the blonde alien and xe dodged every hit coming their way, catching Eris’ wrist and pinning them against a tree. Eris let out a growl as they tried to thrash in his hold, giving Purpled the opportunity to look at them once they stopped thrashing so much and glared at xem. 

Their face had a semi-healed bruise on their face and dried black blood on their face from a cut that was probably recent. 

Xe tossed Eris to Tubbo so they could restrain and hold down the moobloom hybrid temporarily. Eryn joined Tubbo to restrain them since they were stronger than they looked and could get loose in under 5 minutes if only one person tried to hold them down. 

Eris screamed and thrashed in their hold, they could deal with it for now. 

If Purpled wasn’t pissed now, he was seething; livid. 

Dream was still fighting the group so he couldn’t lash out and bash the man’s head in like they so pleased, so they only had Punz left. Xe knew he has a copy of the revival book, so he was going to destroy both the copy and maybe the original. 

They didn’t want to fight their older brother, but what other choice did that have? 

The only way to break the man out of Dream’s control was to beat him, and if that is what xe has to do, fine. Bring it on. 

Purpled lunged at Punz.

Chapter Text

Purpled lunged at Punz, who in return dodged the kick coming his way. Punching Purpled in the face twice, making the other alien bleed in the nose. They barely flinched, he threw a blow at Punz's face who was a second late and got thrown back, groaning as he started to recover and get back up. 

The two aliens were running on adrenaline. Punz threw two blows, only landing the second one. He blocked and dodged 4 blows, getting hit hard on the fifth blow. Purpled switched from offensive to defensive and avoided the hits and kicks that were thrown at xem, getting caught off guard when Punz grabbed his wrist and threw them into a tree, groaning at the pain in xes back. They got up, dodged the blow by grabbing Punz's hand and flipped the older blonde alien over his shoulder, hard . 

The man groaned as he tried to breathe with Purpled's tail choking him, falling unconscious a few seconds later. 

An item glowed green, the revival book copy. He grabs the book with his tail, squeezing it as it bled white blood. It evaporated after a minute of it being squeezed. The copy is gone, now for the original . 

The alien walks over to where the others were when xe last saw them, seeing Dream unconscious in Sam's aggressive hold. So I guess they beat him, now for Tommy. Purpled looks towards Eryn and Tubbo, who still are struggling to restrain Eris. Defeating Dream didn't break the mind control, it only made them more livid and blood thirsty. They screamed and thrashed, Eryn holding their left arm and Tubbo held their right.  

It was obvious Eris didn't go down without a fight, the proof we're the new scars on Tubbo and Eryn. 

Jack held their legs after Eris had kicked him in the gut and cut him in the face from the dagger installed at the front of their boot. 

Everyone was either going to have bruising or new scars later. 

“Tommy, chill out!” Eryn scolded. 

“NO! LET ME GO! DREAM!” 

“He’s going back to the prison now, where he belongs!” 

“NO!” 

“Tommy!”

“THAT’S NOT MY NAME!”

“Yes, it is!” 

“Guys!” Purpled interrupts, they all stare at him, even Eris stopped struggling so much to stare at xem. 

“Let them go.” 

“But they’ll kill you!”

“Do it .” he demands. 

Purpled stares at the sword pierced into the snow where Eris had dropped it, holding their arms out as a signal to embrace their brother in the hug despite knowing Eris is still under control and will do the exact opposite, he still holds his arms out anyway. “Just, do it.” 

The goat hybrid and demon want to protest but they cannot since Purpled will bug them no matter how much they say no, so they let the moobloom hybrid go. And Eris wasted no time to sprint and grab the sword as they ran, going even faster in their eagerness to kill Purpled. 

Eris leaped, plunging the sword into Purpleds torso. Black crimson dripped down and stained the bandages and the sword as he started to limp back towards a tree, bringing Eris with xem, trapping them into embrace and not letting go no matter how much they struggled. “Hey- let me.” 

“ Tommy .”

 “That’s not my-”

“ Tommy, ” they say sternly. “I’m so sorry, so sorry for the things I've said and done to you. I’m sorry for never hearing you out, I’m so sorry for never visiting you during exile, for never comforting you when you needed it, for everything. I’ll even die to show you how much I am.”

Eris’ breath hitched, still staying silent. 

“Remember when we were young? The things we went through? You’d grow flowers and make us crowns, I'd push you into the lake and you’d drag in me with you afterwards, we’d climb trees, cuddle, tell each other stories, brother things.”

Eris Tommy let tears stream down their face, still not saying anything. “I-”

“Tommy, I’m so sorry. I’m sincerely sorry, I love you. Brother .” was the last thing xe said before went limp slumped against the tree. 

Eris, no Tommy. Tommy remembered. 

"Purp! Come here!" A 12-year-old moobloom hybrid says. "What do you want, Tommy?" They ask, approaching the other blonde. "I made you a flower crown!" Purpled tilts his head, "really?" Tommy nods. "Yup!" They answer, putting a flower crown with yellow roses, alstroemeria, and rosemary flowers on the alien's head. The moobloom hybrid had yellow roses and daisies growing from their head. 

"Oh..Thank you, Tommy!" Xe mutters, flustered at their unknown twin brother's kindness. 

They all watch Tommy stand frozen over the dead body of their twin, blue tears streaming down their face. Their emerald, green eyes flickering to blue and gray.

"Tommy..?" Niki starts. 

Tommy stiffens, still silently sobbing. 

"Purpled, do NOT drop me in the lake!" Tommy scolds as they're being carried by their alien friend. "Nah-"

"Purpled–"

"Have a fun swim!" 

"NO–" Tommy's cut off as Purpled tosses them into the lake, coughing as they arose and glared at the other blonde. "I hope you fall in a black hole."

Purpled scoffs, snickering. "Yeah yeah, whateverr–" he yelps as they're pulled down into the lake, glaring at the moobloom hybrid. "C'mon! You suck Tommy!" The cow hybrid just cackles and splashes water at xem. 

They started a water fight. 

"Tommy, are you-" she says, approaching them. 

"I-"

"Tommy! Come climb this tree!" He yells, calling to the cow hybrid from a tree. "How the fuck did you get up there??"

"Climbing, duh." He deadpans.

Tommy protests but then uses the abilities of their vines to climb the tree, using the plants around them to make a comfortable enough nest that will stay sturdy in the tree. 

"Tommy, how did you-"

"I found out I could control nature a few days ago!" They explain, excitedly. "I know nests are a bird thing, but they're comfortable!" 

Purpled settles in the nest, getting comfortable inside of it. "You're not wrong about that. It's pretty nice." 

Tommy smiles, wrapping their friend brother in an embrace. Purpled hesitates but hugs them back, leaving the two to cuddle in a tree. 

"I.. I killed-" Tommy finally says. 

"Tommy, please try to calm- we- we'll help him! O-kay?" Niki attempts to reassure them. 

"I..Purpled.."

"Tom-"

"No..no." the cow hybrid starts hyperventilating, crouching to cradle the body of their twin brother. "This wasn't supposed to happen!"

"Toms," Wilbur tries. 

"W-e..we can s-still fix this, right?" 

"Theseus, please." Techno takes a few steps, making it slow as he stares at his brother's shivering figure. "We can h-help!" 

"We can still FIX this, right ?!" Tommy glares. 

Techno takes a few steps closer, only for the moobloom hybrid to pull Purpled in more, sobbing hysterically. 

Puffy ordered someone to grab or make a few potions, it came in handy now. Weakness, sleep, and healing. 

Tommy cried, they screamed, they sobbed. Whispering small insults at their dead brother, pissed at xem for allowing them to kill him. "You bitch ." Their breath hitches, "this is all your fault . Why? Why me ? Why you ? This isn't... it isn't fair!"

"Tommy, mate–" Phil says, quickly grabbing Tommy and holding them to his chest, his wings wrapping around the demon protectively in an attempt to try and console them. "Mate, it's okay. It's alright, I got you. Nothin' will hurt you anymore." Tommy buries their face into the older blonde's shirt and sobs. 

Everyone's heart broke at the scene before them, they all messed up, never took their own responsibility and blamed it all on the moobloom hybrid as their first scapegoat. It was easy to blame everything on Tommy due to their obnoxiously loud and overbearing personality. 

And now look where that got them. Tommy crying in the arms of their first adoptive father after killing their now revealed twin brother, everyone's bodies scattered with scars and bruises, an unconscious Dream in Sam's arms, an unconscious Punz who's being treated by Quackity, Puffy, and Ranboo. 

Techno deals with Purpled, assisted along with Niki, Jack, Tubbo, and Eryn. Taking the sword out and stopping the blood flow until they could get back to L'manburg for better medical treatment. 

Lord Prime watches them from above, "don't worry my younglings. It will all be over soon."

The Goddess of Death appears next to them, "you should make an appearance to them soon, Prime." 

"Yes, I'm aware of that, Death. As much as I wish this didn't happen to the younglings, there is simply nothing we can do. Not even Karl, it will mess everything up."

She sighs, "I hope this is all worth it, I wish you the best of luck." And with that, she disappears. 

Purpled awoke in a void, it was very odd. "Where am I?"

"You're in Limbo, dear child." 

"Why?"

"Isn't that obvious, youngling. You're dead." They say, softly. 

"How did I-" he cuts xemself off when they remembered, "oh.." 

"I apologize, my dear child. I have wished for a family of my own, but someone's found that you and Eris have my blood in your body. And they used Eris to kill you as an excuse for your ‘betrayal’ and take my power for themself.”

“So does that make you-”

“Your parent, yes. I am your parent, or half parent because you only have half of my blood. And since I am a god, you two have half of my blood-”

“That means me, and Tommy are Demigods .”

“Yes, Ares. you and Eris are Demigods.”

Chapter Text

Dream had made sure to replace any bad memory Tommy had of him and replace it with good ones. Giving them fresh food and clothing, helping them build stuff around Logstedshire , spending time with them, he gave Tommy all those memories to replace the bad ones so that the moobloom hybrid had no reason to hate or distrust him. Despite the truth of those memories being the exact opposite.

Eris, they loved him. They loved their big brother, but now he lays limp in Sam’s arms as he fakes his unconsciousness to watch what was happening. No doubt, Dream was way too weak to make any risky moves or decisions. Quackity had slashed the wrist of his good hand, making it impossible to ever write again without extreme pain, or at all. Techno, who he used to have this friendly rivalry with a few years back, had decapitated his arm, the same one Quackity had harmed, so there was no coming back from that. Sam had made many new scars that would never leave, even when they healed. And Phil, it’s better not to talk about what the Angel of Death had done to him. 

Purpled was fighting Punz, and the older blonde almost won before the air had been knocked out of him. Purpled strangled him with xes tail, but not enough to kill the man, only to make him unconscious. And now he watches Eris complete their task with a small hidden sadistic smirk on his face, killing Purpled. But he thought after that, they’d attack everyone else. But that didn’t happen, after Eris had stabbed them, the magenta-eyed alien pulled them into an embrace and spoke to them. After that, Purpled went limp. 

He frowned that Eris didn’t move. 

He watched Tommy stand frozen over the dead body of their twin, blue tears streaming down their face. Their emerald, green eyes flickering to blue and gray.

"Tommy..?" Niki starts. 

He notices that Tommy stiffens, still silently sobbing. 

Dream didn’t understand what was going on. It was all so weird, all he wanted was peace, and the way he did it goes beyond any morality he had in the past to an indefinable extreme. Tommy was able to do so many things, and none of them have surprised him as much as this did. 

"Tommy, are you-" she says, approaching them. 

"I-" they manage to choke out. 

Dream frowns. 

"I.. I killed-" Tommy finally says. 

Dream doesn’t know how to feel about this right now, conflicted is the best way to define it. He watches the small pinkette try to comfort the white-haired demon,

"Tommy, please try to calm- we- we'll help him! O-kay?" Niki attempts to reassure them. 

"I..Purpled.."

"Tom-"

"No..no." the cow hybrid starts hyperventilating, crouching to cradle the body of their twin brother. "This wasn't supposed to happen!"

"Toms," Wilbur tries. 

"W-e..we can s-still fix this, right?" 

"Theseus, please." Techno takes a few steps, making it slow as he stares at his brother's shivering figure. "We can h-help!" 

Wow, Technoblade cares. Surprising. 

"We can still FIX this, right ?!" Tommy glares. 

Techno takes a few steps closer, only for the moobloom hybrid to pull Purpled in more, sobbing hysterically. 

Puffy ordered someone to grab or make a few potions, it came in handy now. Weakness, sleep, and healing. 

Puffy, he loved her. She was a mother figure to him.  But there are things he did that he knew angered and disappointed her, but why did he bother to care now? He didn’t before, but it felt wrong. 

He watched Tommy cry, he watched how they screamed, how they sobbed. He watched as they spoke softly with a few sniffles, whispering small insults at their dead brother. He didn’t know what Tommy was saying, but he knew they were pissed . The moobloom grew many flowers during that moment. They grew Lilies, Purple Hyacinths, Carnations, Zinnias, Marigolds, Orange Lilies, and Black Roses . 

Black roses meant death. 

Orange Lilies meant hatred, pride, disdain, contempt, renewal, and rebirth. 

Lilies are mostly seen as happy, but used for the symbolism of sadness. 

Purple Hyacinths meant sorrow, 

Marigolds meant grief, despair, mourning, and pain in an older era. 

Carnations; depending on the color, meant sadness. 

White Zinnias were used to pay respects to those of the dead. 

Tommy grew all of those flowers, anything that meant sadness and grief. They grew on the mooblooms head and spreaded down towards their neck. Their arms and neck covered in black vines. They were sharp and drew black crimson blood from the cow hybrids body. 

He knew Tommy and Purpled were demigods, he had found out a few years ago, before all the war and shit happened. He came across the two as he was wandering in the woods, their powers only started to manifest. Tommy had the power to control nature, and Purpled had something to do with space. He’d only seen it once, he was making a realistic hologram of the universe with xes hands. It was all before the two blondes were invited to the server, he was still friends with Technoblade at the time and he was heading home after a sparring match with the piglin hybrid. 

He found it fascinating, he had wanted that power, they were children of Prime . But he never got their power, he didn’t get the chance. He didn’t know what was going to happen now, but he knows he’ll be thrown back in the prison and the torture will probably be even worse. 

He still watches the scenery before him. 

"Tommy, mate–" Phil says, quickly grabbing Tommy and holding them to his chest, his wings wrapping around the demon protectively in an attempt to try and console them. "Mate, it's okay. It's alright, I got you. Nothin' will hurt you anymore." Tommy buries their face into the older blonde's shirt and sobs. 

Everyone's heart broke at the scene before them, Dream found it pathetic. they all messed up, never took their own responsibility and blamed it all on the moobloom hybrid as their first scapegoat. It was easy to blame everything on Tommy due to their obnoxiously loud and overbearing personality. Making it easier for Dream’s little game. 

And now look where that got them. Tommy crying in the arms of their first adoptive father after killing their now revealed twin brother, everyone's bodies scattered with scars and bruises, this is all their faults. 

Dream feels the presence of Lord Prime haunt him, a very clear warning. 

“You will regret ever laying a hand on my Solar Soldiers, Dream. If I ever see you even look in their direction in a way I am displeased with, you will suffer the same fate that my youngling has. Just a thousand times worse .”

Dream shivers, but Sam doesn’t notice enough to do anything. 

Nothing will ever be the same again, everyone is going to make sure of that. 

It’s been a few minutes since Prime had told him that xem and Tommy were demigods. But it made sense, nobody else they knew but Tommy’s adoptive family and DreamXD, and somewhat Quackity because the man was a shapeshifter, had a magical ability. 

Purpleds magic was universal, he could make holograms and make experiences to make it feel like they were in space. 

Tommy was able to control nature, able to grow flowers that weren’t from their body from the earth. They could grow plants, flowers, trees, anything regarding the earth. 

“That’s interesting news..but, why me and Tommy specifically?”

“Ah, I’ve always wanted younglings of my own. But I never wanted to participate in intercourse, it’s very.. Ugh, yeah- I dislike the idea. So I decided to find a youngling in need of a parental figure, my eyes landed on you. But then, I didn’t want you to be lonely, so I decided to create a brother for you. Someone your age.”

“I- you-” Purpled was at a loss for words.

“I know, youngling. The way you came to me was wrong, I actually wanted to get to know you first before bringing you in, but I didn’t want anything to get in the way. So they brought you to me during your slumber and you woke up during the trip. I’m sincerely sorry my youngling, my desires were selfish, and it never should’ve turned out this way.”

Purpled didn’t say anything, he was sort of mad, but without Prime, Tommy wouldn’t exist, and they wanted the moobloom hybrid to exist. Tommy was just Tommy. A ray of sunshine, a spitfire, soldiers spirit, loyal, prideful. They could be annoying at first, but that’s what makes them so endearing. So instead of lashing out, xe threw himself in the arms of their half-parent. Purpled doesn’t remember their birth parent, Punz never told him what happened, it made the older blonde mad so he always dropped it. 

The god is stunned, but hugs their youngling. 

“I’m so sorry, Ares. my little extraterrestrial spitfire, as much as I wished to help, there’s nothing that could’ve done to stop that man. It will ruin everything and it could destroy the server.”

“I- I’m kind of mad, but without you, Tommy wouldn’t exist. And I like that they exist. I’m glad they do, and no words I can think of can ever think of can thank you for that.” 

The god is silent, “oh, my dear solar youngling. I love you so dearly.” 

“I- love you too, dad or uh mom.” 

Prime tears up, “anything is fine, and I love you too.” 

They stay comfortable in the arms of their parent, “uhm, how long have I been here?”

“You’ve been here for 2 months.”

“What?! I literally just woke up here an hour ago!”

“Time works differently here youngling, out there, you’ve been dead for 2 weeks. Here, you’ve been here for 2 months.”

“Do I get to go back?” 

“That is for you to decide. For you are the Demigod of the Universe , son of Prime. You are named Ares, similar to your brother who is Eris, the Demigod of Nature . pronounced similar, spelled differently.  If you decide to stay, you cannot fulfill your duties as much as you need to. If you go back, you can completely manifest your abilities, and be with your brother again.” 

Purpled didn’t say anything. 

“I will give you some time to think about it.” 

Prime disappeared, and Purpled doesn’t even have to make a decision.

They’re going home . 

Tommy refused to leave Purpled’s side ever since the two weeks he’s been dead. Dream was locked in the now extremely secure prison, being tortured by Quackity even more. Very deserved. Hell, they might even join the duck hybrid. 

Quackity has been trying to make some amends, he’s having emotional problems and stubbornness but he’s trying. He’s even helping foolish rebuild the alien’s UFO, Purpled’s dog was released from captivity, everything has been getting better, little by little.

They all still worry about the mourning cow hybrid. Now Tommy’s staring at the ceiling as they cover the room in beautiful flowers and vines. 

The flowers were beautiful, and they glowed in the dark room.

Hearing harsh coughing right next to them, they turn to look and see who it is. 

Tommy chokes on a sob, “ Purpled! ?”

Chapter Text

“Purpled?!” Tommy sobs. 

The alien coughs, their voice raspy as they speak. “H-hey.” 

Tommy embraces him into a bone crushing hug. “You bitch ! How dare you let me kill you!” they scold as they sob in their brothers arms. Purpled chuckles, “yeah, I know. I’m sorry Tom.” 

“You’re allowed to slap me when I fully heal.”

Tommy huffs, “good.” 

Purpled pulls away and looks around the room, awestruck at all the flowers and vines that Tommy grew and laced onto the walls and ceiling. Yellow roses, pink tulips, sunflowers, daisies, yellow orchids, snowdrops, daffodils, Gladiolus’. 

“Tom, these are.. beautiful .” 

“Yeah, they are.” Tommy smiles. 

Purpled hums, “is now a good time to acknowledge that I met our half-biological parent and they told me that we’re both demigods while I was dead?” 

Tommy chokes, “excuse me, what ?!”

“Yup, I’m the demigod of the universe and you’re the demigod of earth and nature.” 

Tommy stares at him, extremely flabbergasted. 

“Do something with your power.”

Tommy blinks, “why?”

“Just do it, I want to try something.”

Tommy puts out their hand, a white and warm glow emerging from their palm. It highlights the middle of the ceiling in the middle of all the other flowers and it grows into a large white rose. “Now what?” they questioned, and all the alien does is smirk. Purpled raises xes hands and a purple glow is formed, a galaxy hologram with the entire solar system becomes one with the rose. Different sections of the petals glow in the colors of each planet, the galaxy, and the sun. 

“Woah.” is all the cow hybrid was able to say. The white haired demon looked at their hands and arms, the same roses that they just created with their brother blooming from their body. 

“Purp, did we-”

“Create a new flower? Yes, we did in fact create a new flower.”

The moobloom laughs, the alien joining them not even a few seconds later. The brothers stare at each other before wrapping one another in another cuddly embrace, watching the stars of the hologram Purple was making with xes power. 

The two didn’t notice the time go by so fast, they didn’t care about the light coming from under the door, they didn’t care about the voices, and they didn’t care about the people who came in on their moment, shocked faces turning soft and calm. 

Quackity, Ponk, Phil, and Punz stood there by the door. 

Quackity cleared his throat, “Hello, you two. Glad that you’re doing well.” the duck hybrid says nervously. The twins turn to stare at him, “Quackity.” Purpled snarls. “Okay, Purpled, listen. I know you’re pissed, livid even. But can we talk? That’s if you want to though.” 

Purpled still glares, but nods. “Fine.” 

Everyone leaves the room, Tommy gives them a power-made flower crown of blue hydrangeas. A flower of comfort and tranquility, calming the alien down a bit. “So, talk .” The duck hybrid sits in the chair beside the bed. “Well, the last time we spoke. It wasn’t on great terms.” Quackity starts. 

“Yeah, no shit.”

“And honestly, I'm telling the truth here. I did not have the revival book at the time you fought me for it, I was still trying to get Dream to hand it over. But his stubborn ass wouldn’t budge no matter what I did.” Purpled snorts at that, still focusing on what he has to say. “And I.. apologize for letting our argument go in the direction it went, I apologize for blowing up your UFO. I was selfish and was still in an emotionally unhealthy mental state at the time. That doesn’t excuse the things I have done to you or anyone else I’ve wronged, unless they deserved it.” Quackity coughs while saying the last part to cover a chuckle, “it’s alright that you don’t forgive me, but to make our relationship less strained, I’m helping Foolish rebuild your UFO. a form of apology because I make..” he coughs again, “verbal apologies awkward.” 

The alien stiffens, their eyes starting to water but attempting to keep their expression flat. “you’re…rebuilding my UFO ?” Quackity nods. 

“I don’t forgive you, yet . But I am willing to have a somewhat healthy friendship, I guess.” 

“But, I owe you something now.” 

Quackity perks up, “what?” 

“I killed Slime, so I’ll bring him back.” 

The man giggles, flabbergasted. “But we destroyed the Revival book.” 

“Yeah, but I have something better than that.” 

The alien yells for their twin, who in return, pokes their head inside. “Yes? Need anything?” Purpled nods, motioning them to come over, whispering into the cow hybrids ear. 

“Ah, alright.” They say, the cow hybrid stands in the middle of the room and puts out their arm, their palm facing the floor as a large daisy starts to grow from the floor. The duck hybrid stares in shocked confusion, watching the alien blow smoke that looks like space onto the daisy, turning it into the void color with tiny rainbow stars shimmering all over it. 

The man still said nothing, he was in awe. 

The twins talk in unison, Quackity recognizing the language as enchantment table, or a language similar to it, he didn’t know. 

“∴ᒷ, ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ ↸ᒷᒲ╎⊣𝙹↸ᓭ 𝙹⎓ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ ⚍リ╎⍊ᒷ∷ᓭᒷ ᔑリ↸ リᔑℸ ̣ ⚍∷ᒷ, ʖꖎᒷᓭᓭ ∷ᒷリᒷ∴ᔑꖎ ᔑリ↸ ∷ᒷʖ╎∷ℸ ̣ ⍑ 𝙹リℸ ̣ 𝙹 ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ リᔑï⍊ᒷ ᓭ𝙹⚍ꖎ 𝙹⎓ ᓭꖎ╎ᒲᒷᓵ╎ᓵᓵꖎᒷ.” 

The stars on the daisy glow green, making the entire flower bloom to reveal, 

Slime . 

The twins revived someone without the revival book. The slime looked the same just before they had died, white slime sticking out from the green in the brunette's hair. “Hello Tommy from.. Somewhere, Purpled from space, and Quackity from Las Nevadas! It’s a pleasure to see you all doing well!” 

Quackity wasted no time by pulling Slime into a bone crushing hug, not caring he was getting slime all over him as he sobbed tears of joy and relief. The slime was confused, but hugged back as they cooed over the duck hybrids clinginess

“You’re actually here!” 

“Yeah, I am!” 

The twins watch, tears in the aliens eyes as they’re confused on how Slime didn’t hate xem. Tommy made a flower crown of blue daisies on their head with their hands.

Purpled smiles in the arms of their twin. 

Eris, no longer used for the name of a winter soldier, but for the Demigod of Earth and Nature , is a youngling born from the blood of an alien, and Lord Prime . They were nature, they were a spitfire, endearing. From a child who was tossed aside when they fought everyone and everything to keep their country standing along with their discs, to a Demigod who cared about nothing but life, loved ones, and nature.

So the twins told everyone to meet at church prime, the church of their half-parent. The other God of the server aside from Lady Death, The Goddess of Chaos, Lord HD, and DreamXD. To meet the creator for the moobloom hybrids existence, and the reason why they are Demigods. 

“So, why are we all here?” Techno questioned, a curious eyebrow raising. 

“We’re here to let you know and meet the creator of Tommy.” the alien answers, the Blood God and the Angel of Death look intrigued but say nothing. “And why in church prime?” 

The twins bow towards the symbol of Prime, everyone stares at them with confusion. A group of gasps go through the room as the symbol glows, the spirit of lord prime appearing and becoming the body of the god they made a church for. 

The god stood in all their glory, as graceful as ever. Basically the definition of fuck gender roles in all things. gorgeous messy and wavy golden and white hair, white feathers replacing their ears. Pure golden eyes with a black sclera, beautiful face markings that were in silver, golden jewelry adorning their hair and forehead , white, gold, and silver silk robes draped delicately on the gods body, a golden belt with their symbol keeping it secure. They were beautiful.

Everyone bows, respecting the god. “Now, now, mortals. Rise, I’d like to say I am the reason these two are the way they are. My younglings, my children.”

“Wait, Tommy, mate. The Lord Prime , is your actual–”

“Yes, these two Solar Soldiers are my younglings. They both were given my blood when Eris was given, Ares also gave their blood to create my floral spitfire. They actually just found out recently as well that I am their parent, well, half-parent since Ares isn’t biologically my child but was given my blood.”

Nobody noticed Drista dragging the twins out of the church so they could choose their demigod appearance. Too busy listening to lord prime. 

Lady Death, Lord HD, and DreamXD soon appeared as well. Death was reuniting with her angel, the other two stood behind Prime as they spoke. 

“Really Drista, do we have to?” Tommy whines. 

“Yes, dumbass. If you wanna be magical, at least look fabulous while doing so!” she huffs and Purpled just cackles as their brother’s misery. The cow hybrid just groaning and handing Drista the fabrics and materials they want for their appearance. 

“You’re insufferable!”

“Yeah, whatever!” 

The two just bickered as Drista used her magic to create something, 

Unique. 

“No offense Lord Prime,” Techno starts. “But is there another reason why we’re all here other than finding out you’re Tommy and Purpled’s half-parent?” 

“Ah, no worries Blood God. Since my younglings are Demigods, everyone at least needs to see their main magical appearance. To understand what they are.” 

“What do you mean by that?” Punz questioned, still slightly shocked that his baby brother is a demigod. 

The god hums and they use their magic to reveal 7 huge portraits. “These are Murals, they’re made when a god, goddess, or demigod has made their appearance and manifested their power. There are even miniature ones for those who may not be a demigod or god, but are very important when it comes to keeping this server from crumbling to the ground.”

Somewhere in the back of the crowd, Karl tenses. 

Everyone looks at the murals. There’s Lady Death, Lord HD, Lord Prime, Angel of Death, Blood God, Goddess of Chaos, and DreamXD. 

“But now that my younglings have manifested their power, they will finally have their murals. And in the future, once they do most of their most difficult duties, they’ll become actual gods. It’s pretty simple, in a way.” 

Two thin yet lean figures appear behind Prime. 

Ares, Eris, I see your appearances are done. 

“Yes, we have.” Eris says. 

XD stood in front of the god, “now that the young ones are ready, let’s see them. First, we have

Ares, Demigod of the Universe. They have the ability to make realistic space holograms, watch over planets and space, constellations, any space related ability.” 

Ares stood in the middle of the room as everyone stared in awe of xes new appearance. He wore dark blue and black robes with hints of purple, gold ribbon and accessories all around it, small diamonds and amethysts inside them. Large black transparent wings outlined in purple and blue sprouted from xes back, almost rivaling Phil's wings. Their blonde hair turned a light lavender color, almost silver. Black strands of hair standing out. The pointed ears grew and became even sharper, a black tint at the end. Their crown and mask were magnificent.   

“And here we have, Eris. The Demigod of the Earth and Nature. They have the ability to grow plants and flowers, and are also able to grow things from the earth. Being a moobloom, they can grow flowers from their body.” 

Eris wore white robes that faded into different shades of forest green, gold and silver accessories with emeralds and peacock feathers attached to beads on the black parts of the robe; they also held a black and gold fans with green silk ribbons attached. their white hair became even fluffier and grew in length. The two headpieces they wore were extraordinary. They wore glove armor on their hands that were emerald green. a beautiful mask that covered piercing blue eyes and a black sclera.   

The twins looked untouchable . 

They were untouchable. 

“Punz,” Ares greets. 

“Purpled, you look–” the older alien couldn’t finish. Too shocked to see his brother look the way he does now. 

“Yeah, it’s pretty weird. I’ve never felt this magical before.”

“Purp, listen, I know I messed up.”

“Yes, you did.”

“Yeah- I uhm. I’m sorr-”

“I’ll stop you right there. I know you’re trying to say sorry, that’s a positive thing. But your selfishness has to be dealt with, you preferred power from a man who could’ve tortured you the same way he tortured Tommy over me. And that’s not very fucking nice, is it?” he says, bending down slightly. 

The man didn’t answer, guilt forming in his face. 

“Well, I won’t forgive you yet. But we can get along more again, but on one condition.” 

“What could that be?”

“If you ever decide to visit Dream in prison, you are forbidden to help him no matter how much he says he’ll pay you. Am I making myself clear?” xe sneers. 

Punz nods, and Ares stands up and flashes a grin. “Good! Now that we’re on the same page, let’s catch up, shall we?” 

“Yeah, that sounds cool.” he says calmly. 

“Toms, you look absolutely amazing !” the piglin brunette says, proud of his baby brother. Wrapping his arms around the cow hybrid, careful not to get stabbed by their sharp curved horns. 

“Wil! Stop being clingy!” Eris whines. 

“Nope, you are going to be stuck with me until I die again, and there’s absolutely nothing you can do!” 

Eris groans and wraps Wilbur into an embrace with their vines, not letting go anytime soon. Muttering a small, ‘ and yet you say i’m the clingy one .’ Eris huffs and doesn’t say anything. 

“So I see you two are havin’ fun.” Techno snorts. 

The demon has a shit eating grin on their face and pulls the pink-haired piglin hybrid into the brotherly embrace, yelling that him being soft would ruin his terrifying reputation as the Blood God. Eris didn’t care, purring which is a weird thing they can do now. The pinkette groans, but gives into the embrace. It doesn’t take long for the cow hybrid to drag Phil and Mumza along. 

An adoptive family embraces each other with cuddles despite all the things they have gone through. 

The twin demigods cuddle with their half-parent, who in return wraps their large gold and white wings around the two while chirping happily. Cooing soft reassurances as they slept in the arms of their caregiver. 

Prime looks into the twins’ future. 

Ares and Eris have returned to space but the twins’ stay together. The two protect their home planet as new gods, Eris has discovered how to transform into their alien counterpart. 

The two are very powerful, untouchable, they were unable to be separated. 

Prime smiles softly. 

“I’m very proud of you, my younglings. I love you so dearly.”

Prime falls asleep with their younglings in their arms, their wings covering them like a warm and fluffy blanket.
