Chapter Text
The Dream SMP was currently at its calm. Everyone had just finished up all the lore they needed to cover for the day and decided to just hang out. Almost everyone in the server was online and just having some fun over at Erets castle doing dumb shit and playing games. The ruler of the castle was sitting on his throne talking with Fundy, Ranboo, and Philza.
Tommy, Tubbo, Karl, Skeppy, George, and Sapnap were running around the castle playing tag with their weapons; Niki, CaptainPuffy, BadBoyHalo, Sam, and AntFrost were sitting on the floor, forming a circle and just chatting with each other. And then we have the main writers of the SMP sitting with each other in the corner discussing any future plot points that they can add to the storyline.
"Alright, so we already have most of the script ready for the rest of season 1 and a good beginning for season 2. We now just need to prove it and give it to the others. We also need to schedule our streams and how we should cut the bits up" Wilbur explained as he was scrolling through his communicator. He was still in his Ghostbur skin but talked in his normal 'Alivebur' tone.
"Yeah, I think I have my stream schedule all sorted out. I'll send you the schedule and see if it's okay. Also, Dream, are you ever going to stream about the RP's any time soon? I'm sure your fans would enjoy it." Technoblade questioned, looking over at the man with a smiley mask.
"I'm not so sure. I'd rather have you guys just stream. I personally just like popping into your guys' streams and scare everyone. You can say it's my little trademark." Dream replied to the anarchist, crossing his arms behind his head as he leaned against the castle walls.
"Oh and I'd like to add on something. I was thinking that maybe in a stream a couple of weeks from now we could kill off- AHHHHHHHHHH WAIT WAIT WAIT NO HOLD ON I'M ONLY ON 2 HEARTS PLEASE!" Quackity was about to finish his sentence before he was interrupted by an extremely loud plea. The group of writers turned to where the scream came from and saw the group playing tag surrounding George, weapons all in their hands. They chuckled at the sight and went back to their little conversation.
"Well, I guess we should wrap it up for now. We should hang out with the others before we sign out." Wilbur said, getting up and stretching a bit, hearing a couple of pops from his body.
"Yeah, I agree. I want in with whatever they're doing!" Quackity said with excitement in his voice, pointing to the tag group and how they were stealing a now dead George's items. Technoblade nodded in agreement with Quackity as the two got up and joined in. Dream decided to go talk with Eret and the others and left Wilbur by himself. He walked around the very busy throne room and smiled to himself. He was about to go and join in with everyone else before a blood-curdling scream filled the room. Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to see a very large portal appear right in front of them.
"THAT PORTAL JUST SUCKED GEORGE AND TOMMY INTO IT!!!" Tubbo screamed out as everyone stopped what they were doing and gathered around the portal. The portal looked like nothing they've seen before. It was a dark red that sparkled in a very intimidating way. Particles of the portal fell onto the floor and gave anyone nearby a small sting before vanishing into nothing.
"What kind of portal is this? It doesn't look like a nether portal or an end portal to me." Bad said, nervousness and anxiety coating his words. Everyone took a small step back, just enough to not get accidentally sucked into wherever that portal would lead them.
"Well, we have to go in there. George and Tommy got sucked into there and who knows that could be on the other side." Ranboo claimed as others replied with very nervous agreements.
"Is this another lore thing that we weren't told about? I thought we stopped those for a while?" Tubbo said anxiously, shaking in place.
"No this isn't. I don't know what the hell that thing is. But we should probably all go in and find George and Tommy. Everyone gather your gear and set your spawn point here at the castle! We'll be going into the portal in 10 minutes!" Dream exclaimed and everyone nodded and headed out to gather their things. Their best weapons, gear, potions, and everything they should need if they need to go into a battle of some sort. Niki set up 5 beds near the portal for everyone to set their spawn point and they all gathered back, suited up and ready.
"Alright then, we'll be going into the portal in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!" Dream yelled out as everyone ran into the portal, ready for the worst. Entering the portal was nothing they have ever experienced before. Usually, when going in a portal you feel a small tingle in your brain and you appear at your destination but this was different. Once you went in you got a stinging feeling, like small and slightly dull thumb tacks poked your skin. And after that, you just went dark and passed out.
Everyone simultaneously fell out of the portal and onto a polished stone brick trail. They all slowly got up and looked around, completely confused about where their location was. Some looked to where the portal was but saw that it now had vanished.
"WAIT WHAT THE?! THE PORTAL VANISHED! HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO GET BACK NOW?!" Karl yelled out, starting to panic. A couple of them went up to him and helped him calm down while others started walking around to see where they were.
"I've never seen this place before. But looking at this, everything looks rather polished and clean. Not like any other village or town I've seen throughout the SMP. Is this even in the SMP at all?" Techno asked, looking to Dream. Dream opened up his communicator and looked for a map, only to be shocked that there was no map at all.
"It's…blank…it's all blank. There's nothing here…" He said as everyone went completely silent. How were they going to get back home? There was no sign of Tommy and George either. All of them stood there in shock before a loud alarm began to blare, many covering their ears at the sudden noise. They all looked to where the sound came from and caught sight of a large building right in front of them, dawned with what looked like hundreds of glass walls. Many of them wondered how they weren't able to spot this beforehand.
"Ughhh guys...what's happening?!" Skeppy said in a panicked voice, clearly not ready for what might happen to all of them.
"I don't know. But we should be prepared for anything. Everyone get your weapons out just in case!" Wilbur said in a loud voice as everyone got out their shields and weapons. They all stood in a circle, ready for an attack before they saw a bunch of people run after them. They gripped onto their gear harder as they braced for impact. One of the guys running toward them took out a large scarf and proceeded to quickly wrap it around everyone and bundle them together, leaving all of them trapped. They all struggled to get out but to no avail.
"Well, I was not expecting that..." Fundy said in a monotone voice, already giving up. The alarm from early finally stopped as the people who attacked them went and surrounded them all. One of them, being this large buff man with gratis hands hair. He has a red outfit with a design and some canisters from behind. He walked to the front and began to speak to them.
"Who are you and what are you doing here on U.A property? The gates don't open for just anyone." The man said with a stern voice. He was intimidating looking but could be easily beaten by all of them. All of them stayed silent, not knowing who should be the one out of the group to speak up. After about 30 seconds of silence, Tubbo spoke out.
"Ummm hi? My uh, my name's Tubbo and all of us came here looking for our 2 friends. You see we were all just hanging out in our friend's castle just having fun when 2 of our friends got sucked up into this random portal. Us, wanting to save them and make sure they're safe, went into the portal and winded up here in the....U.A place. Whatever you call it." Tubbo explained, stuttering a bit in his words. The heroes were looking at the group below them and soon at each other, wondering what to do next.
"They don't seem like much of a threat. Should we take them in and interrogate them? They said they were looking for their friends. It might be those 2 boys from a while ago." Said a woman with long dark blue hair whispered to the people next to her. They just shrugged their shoulders saying sure as the bind on the SMP members were finally gone, the scarf wrapping back up along the long-haired man's shoulders. They all quickly stood up and went back into a battle stance, still ready for any sort of combat.
"All of you guys, follow us. You'll all be interrogated by the police. Now come on. If any of you are sensible, you’ll comply and come along with no issue." The one with the long scarf said as he and the rest of the heroes started to walk back to the large building. The SMP members' stances softened as they looked at each other confused. They looked at each other, hesitant to go or not. Dream soon spoke up once more.
"I guess we should follow them. Still, go stay on guard though. Who knows what might happen. For all we know, this might be a trap. Keep any weapons and potions in your guys' hot bar and we'll head inside. Tell everyone if any of you guys catch sight of George or Tommy." Dream said in his leader's voice as everyone agreed and headed inside. Once they were all inside, they were shocked to see that the building they were in was none other than a school. There were shoe lockers in the entrance and rooms labeled 'faculty', 'printer', and 'janitor'. It was nothing they ever expected but went along with it for the time being.
"Damn this school has insane security. The American School System could never." Sapnap commented as he and a couple of others chucked at his comment. The rest of the way to their destination was rather silent, with most of them looking around for anything suspicious and keeping their guard up. After going through a shit ton of stairs they finally made it to this large room. In that room was a desk and chair, with some sort of mouse bear hybrid sitting on said chair. At this point, most of the SMP was just weirded out. It already freaked them out that this was a school, only to find out that the principal of the school was none other than a huge hybrid animal. Said hybrid soon got out of its chair and spoke.
"Oh my! Some guests! I'm Principal Nezu, the one that runs this school. And you guys must be the group that somehow got into our school. A school with insane security with that. Now what will happen is that you guys will all be questioned and we will then decide what to do will all of you! Isn't that fun?" The mouse-bear said to the group and they just stood there in silence. They all nodded their heads yes as they were seated around the room. After a while, we hear a door open and see more heroes walk in, this time with Tommy and George with them. They were currently restrained and stayed silent for the most part. Everyone in the SMP got up and went up to the two, happy to know that they were here and safe. Nezu explained the situation to them and they hesitantly agreed, sitting down with the rest of the group.
"Now then let us get started! Eraserhead! Now is your cue." Nezu says as we hear a groan from the black-haired man with long hair. He walked to the front of the room where he could properly see everyone and finally began the interrogation.
"Alright. Everything that is happening in this room right now is recorded so you guys better answer all of these truthfully. Now, question 1 will be simple. What are your guy's names?" Aizawa asked, looking around the room. It was once again silent as everyone waited for someone to go first. Before anyone decided to speak up, Dream sent a whisper message to them as it said, 'Stay in your RP personas for now. We don't need them gaining any real info about us.' Once read by all the members, Tubbo once again decided to take one for the team and speak up.
"My name is Tubbo." He said, loud enough for everyone to hear. "I'm BadBoyHalo but you can call me Bad!" "The name's Skeppy." "Sapnap over here" "The name's TommyInnit!" Soon enough everyone had said out their name and once finished, silence one more. Aizawa spoke again.
"Alright. See, that wasn't hard. Now for question 2, your guys' ages." Instead of everyone saying their answers one at a time, Wilbur, or Ghostbur at the moment answered instead,
"Oh a majority of us here are adults and the rest are in their teens. Those who are still minors are Tubbo, Tommy, Ranboo, Purpled, and Eryn." Ghostbur answered, pointing to those who were still at a young age. Tommy spoke up saying that he could be classified as an adult with his height but was soon shut up by Technoblade and Philza.
"Alright, easy enough. Okay, question 3, what are your quirks? This is just another simple procedure, helps with identification and helps show that none of you are of any threat to us." Aizawa said as he leaned against the principal's desk. After saying that sentence, the SMP members were just confused. They didn't know what a quirk was.
"What? What's a quirk? Are you guys asking if we're quirky? What kind of school is this?" Sapnap questioned as he crossed his arms. That led to the heroes and Nezu in shock. They didn't know what a quirk was. Something that a majority of the people on Earth have?
"What do you mean? How do you guys not know what a quirk is? Y'know, the power that you gain by the age of four?" Midnight spoke up, confusion laced in her sentence.
"A power, you say? If that's what you mean, then I guess most of us don't have one. Some of us are part animals or not fully human however." Dream explained. "So I guess we're labeling most of you guys as quirkless for the time being. Well, that's all the information that we need to know at the moment. We'll ask more questions in the near future. For the time being, you'll be staying here in U.A grounds under our surveillance since we still don't know your guy's affiliation. Can’t have you just roaming around the place now, who knows what the public may think! We have an extra dorm building so you guys can stay there. We'll be supplying everything you guys could need? Is that okay with all of you?" Nezu asks, scanning across the room.
"I guess that's fine for the time being. Thanks...I guess." George said as the principal clapped his hands or 'paws' together. "Well, that's just great. Thank you all for your cooperation and you all are excused. Some of our faculty here will now lead you to where you'll be staying!" Nezu says as everyone in the SMP gets up and heads their way out. Everyone was still rather confused about what just happened, some still feeling anxious about everything, while some are a bit excited.
"Since it appears you guys don't know what U.A is, I'll give you a brief explanation about it on our way to where you guys will be staying. U.A is the best hero school in all of Japan. Here we train highschoolers with great abilities to become future pro heroes such as myself. We teach all sorts of topics that you need to know to become a hero along with an accelerated curriculum. Our school has about a 2% acceptance rate, either getting in through a huge exam or a recommendation. The faculty in this school is all made up of pro heroes, myself included. I should also mention that there are different departments for different hero careers. We have the hero course, teens who want to be pro heroes, the support course for kids who wants to make support items for heroes, the business course where we mainly focus on hero organizations and analytics, and finally general course which is normal high school but times the difficulty by 200%" Midnight explained as everyone walked to the dorm. They kept in mind the information and soon they made it to their destination. Midnight gives a real quick tour of the dorm and soon leaves for them to get themselves comfortable. They were all now alone. They all met up in the loft, wondering what to do next. They settled down in one huge circle and sort of started a little meeting.
"Alright, so you guys probably have already noticed that this isn't our world and probably a whole different universe right?" Technoblade said as everyone nodded, all of them slowly coming to terms with their situation.
“We should probably think of a plan to get out of this universe and back to the dream SMP. The only problem being we don't know how long it'll take." Wilbur said, switching back to his normal persona. They all chatted about different strategies about how to get back and split their roles. Dream then decided to say something.
"Since it appears this universe isn't much of a threat to all of us, we might as well have a bit of fun while we're here, correct?" Dream says as he leaned against the edge of a couch. "Yeah, that's true. Hey, how about we all stay in our RP personas while we're here! Of course only when they are around. And when it's just us we can stop. It'll be really fun! Besides, we gave them our personal info and not our real ones so we might as well play the part. I also wanna freak out some of these students if they allow us to go into the building during their school hours!" Sapnap said in a jokingly eerie tone. Many laughed at his statement as well as agreed.
"I agree with Sap here. It doesn't have to fit within our canon. It can be like a beach episode for us. Except we'll still hate each other's guts! It will be so fun to do!" Tommy adds on, standing up and waving his arms in the air. "So I guess it's settled then. If it's only people within our group, you don't have to stay in character but when around people in this universe, adlib the RP into. Maybe we can even fit some scrapped ideas into it as well." Quackity said with a grin on his face. Many began to chat with each other until Technoblade spoke up
"Wait so if this isn't the MC server, are we still able to craft stuff? Y’know like potions and stuff? We still have our inventories and communicators with us but that's all we know. Heck, in the worst-case scenario, one of us kills each other by accident and we don't respawn. I'm all for it with scaring teens but we still need to put these things into consideration." Techno explained as everyone soon went into deep thought. Techno was right.
"Oh Dream! Try going into creative mode and see if it works!" Karl says, pointing to the man in the green sweater. "Yeah sure why not, I might as well give it a try." Dream says as he opens up his communicator and goes to creative. A message appears on his screen saying that he switched modes and so the first thing he tries is floating. And to his surprise, it worked.
"It worked! That's great! None of us have to cook food or hunt for resources!" Tommy exclaims. Dream floated back down and switched back to survival. "I'll try to use it sparingly. Like in dire situations. But I don't mind being the supplier. We should probably check if we can craft anything. Do any of you have a crafting table on them?" Dream asked, looking at the members. Tubbo raises his hand and sits on the floor. "What should I make?" He asks, looking at the people surrounding him.
"Oh try making a bed. If crafting works then we can then use that bed to test if we can respawn or not" Fundy says. Tubbo then nods as people give him the materials to make a bed. And it worked! Soon enough, there was a new bed just sitting in the middle of the living room. "This is great! Now, who should go and test respawning?" Niki asks. Quackity raises his hand as a volunteer. They nod to him as he walks over to the bed. He opened up his communicator to check. As he lay in the bed, he turned over to see what the communicator told him 'respawn point set.' Once reading that out he jumped right off the bed and yelled.
"LET'S GO, BABY! THREE IN A ROW!" He yells as everyone's mood begins to brighten. Maybe this won't be as bad as they thought it would be. "Well, it appears to be getting late now. And I'm highly sure there aren't any hostile mobs in this universe, so I think we can all rest easy and head to bed." Wilbur says to the whole group. They all agree and head to go and pick out their dorms. They all were the same thing, but some did prefer to be on a specific floor. After about an hour of bickering about who gets which room, everyone finally settled down. Now in their own personal dorms, everyone quickly made themselves comfy, crafting up chests for themselves and placing all their unneeded items inside. As soon as everyone deemed everything to be fine, they all headed to bed, setting their spawn points in their new rooms before falling into slumber.
