Chapter Text
Author notes are in parentheses btw! Usually just details that I like adding.
Dream was walking down the wooden road towards the long destroyed l’manburg. Sam quietly following behind him, his 6’7 towering frame behind dream with his 5’5. Tommy and Tubbo run out from behind a bush with all the armor they could have gathered in a night.(Which isn’t much, just a few pieces of enchanted diamond armor.) (Dream is in fully enchanted netherite, with sam being in half enchanted diamond and netherite amour.)
Dream laughs his cold withering laugh making Sam shudder, ”You think you can defeat me with that. You can barely defeat me with full netherite… You remember last night. We wouldn’t want that again.”
Last night: Dream had killed Tubbo. Tubbo losing one of his cannon lives he was on his last one.
Present: Tommy still wanting his discs back, “I want my discs Dream.”
“Your discs, eh. I thought I had won them in that little battle of ours. If you want to battle again I would love to take another one of your lifes. But of course I don’t think you want to play fair this time.” Referring to Tubbo. “Here I’ll make you an offer if Tubbo can beat Sam here then ill give you your ‘precious discs’ and if you lose well Tubbo loses his last life and you don’t get your discs.” You could tell Dream was just itching to watch a good fight.
“I’ll do it.” Says Tubbo.
“Tubbo,” Tommy asks,”do you really want to do this. I mean your on your last life and you know how good sam is at pvp… I don’t want too lose another friend.’sniff sniff’”
“ill be fine Tommy I have trained for this moment my entire life. But if I do lose tell Phil that he was the best dad ever and tell mumza that I would never have wanted another mum ever.”
“But who am I without you Tubbo.”
“Yourself.” And Tubbo walks forward and gets ready to fight the impossible opponent. (Did yall recognize that heartthrob of a quote?)
Sam draws his axe, and Tubbo his sword.
…It was over. Blood splattered on the wet grass. Sam standing on top of Tubbo with some splatters of blood on himself. Tubbo had been slashed across the chest and then stabbed. Tubbo had lost the battle as well as his last life. Tommy on the side lines on his knees crying for his friend, his only friend in the whole empt, void of a world.
“Wow.” Says Dream with his ever present smile.” That was quite the thrilling fight wasn’t it. But it looks like we won. Come along Tommy we have some work to do.”
“Huh, what do you want with me?” Tommy says with a snarl, ”I’ll never follow you, after what you’ve done.”
“That may be so,” dream says with to much calm in his voice, “but I have the upper hand.”
And with that invisible players start to put on a mix of enchanted nertherite and diamond trims. They surround Tommy and Dream.
“This is my mafia. They will escort us, but could you please drop your scraps into this hole and we’ll be on our way.”
Tommy stares at Dream with wide eyes that still have tears in them, and of course bolts. In about thirty seconds he’s pushed back into the circle by a few of these invisible people, looking a bit ragged.
“How many are there.” Tommy says with a bit of a pant.
“Uhhhhh, I’d say around twenty-five right now, but there still might be a few more on the way I don’t know.” Dream says looking around. “But enough of that could you drop your stuff. now!”
With reluctance he takes his armor off and drops all his stuff into a hole that dream dug quickly in between.
“i’ve should have known.” Tommy says while dropping his stuff into the hole, “you’ve always been a bit of a coward. Always having someone around to protect you and your precious book.”
Dream looks at him with lazily raised eyebrows, “I don’t think you should be talking like that without some leverage. I mean you are surrounded by MY soldiers, I could just.”He raised his hand and a whole sea of invisible netherite armored people came at him with ferocious speed. Tommy closes his eyes quickly… he opens his eyes a smig to see netherite swords all around him. A sword is even in front of his face ready to pierce through it with a single swing. Tommy turns as still as a statue, looking at all the swords around him, thinking to himself, *oh man, im screwed, oh I am so screwed.* Dream claps and a part of the soldiers parts so he can walk towards Tommy who is standing slightly hunched. Tommy fearing for his life, looks around for any familiar faces but everyone is invisible.
“What the fuck do you want from me Dream?” Tommy asks.
“Well I want you to stop trying to attach me, I want you to stop it with the disks.” Dream says walking forward, “But I know you’ll never stop for your disks, so Im going to recruit you into my little army. And if you say no or resist in any way, well you know what’ll happen.” Looking at the invisible people.
Tommy looks around for any sign of escape but there is none… so he nods and walks forward. The invisible people around him put their swords down and go fully invisible. Tommy knows there still there. Dream turns around and starts walking with Tommy following a little bit behind. (Sam had disappeared btw.)
Dream and Tommy walk for a long time, going through numerous biomes. After hours of walking, making Tommy about to drop in exhaustion, they had made it. The dark deepslate walls towering above them, a large spruce gate opening slowly with a loud creaking and thud. They walk in, Tommy looking around to see many people invisible with full nertherite and different trims. There were some people that didn’t has invisible on but they all had red eyes or something red on them and all of them wore red-stone eye trim netherite chest plates.
Dream and Tommy walking to the center of this massive city were a huge building is, with diamond trimmed guards at the ready scattered around the building and above. Dream walking towards the door were there are 5 diamond trim guards, they open the door for dream and Tommy. When inside Tommy looks around and sees hundreds of stasis chambers each with a name above it with enderpearls in the water. Dream walking over to an empty writes Tommy’s name above it.
“Please drop your enderpearl into this stasis.” Dream says giving Tommy a single enderpearl.
Tommy looks at it, his impending doom in its dark green, blue, swirling glass. He knows that when he throws that enderpearl into the stasis, it will seal his fate. But what choice does he have right now, he’ll find a way to break free…somehow. He throws the enderpearl into the stasis and with that, it has sealed his fate…
*Being a body guard isn’t all that bad.* Tommy thought, *I mean im treated with some level of respect… No, no, I can’t think like that. I have to find a way to get away… but if he catches me I’ll die.* He shakes his head vigorously. He was walking towards Dream’s planing chambers. There were two diamond guards there he walked past them and opened the door. (Diamond trims are a bit more than thirteen in this fic than canon Unstable SMP soooo about a hundred of em.)There were many people around the planing table. The most noticeable of the people there were Clown Pierce, MinuteTech, FlameFrags, PrinceZam, Reddoons, Ashswag, Punz, AwsameDude/ Sam, SapNap, Spoke, Rekrap2, Wemmbu, BadBoyHalo the leader of the Eggpire but only talked to other egg counsel members, Skeppy, Emperor Philza of the Antarctic Empire, the list goes on…
Everyone was chatting with each other having a decent time actually, Clown was talking with Kaboodle and MinuteTech about fighting techniques. PrinceZam, Redoons and Ashswag were talking about there expanding empires and vaults. Sam, Wemmbu, SapNap, Spoke, and Rekrap were also talking together about new inventions and stuff like canons. Tommy walked around talking to Sam and a few other people. Everyone here was under Dream in some way, more than half of them had a stasis like Tommy, while others had debts or dream had a hostage or maybe just treaties they had made with him. Dream walks in, Clown and Minute begrudgingly say goodbye to the people they were talking to and stand behind Dream. They were his two most trusted bodyguards, them two didn’t even have stasis cambers or anything to hold them back from killing Dream. (Except for Clown’s Balls LMAO. I just saw that the other day from posting this fic and laughed so hard.)
“Thank you for coming together on such short notice.” Dream says mostly talking to the egg court. “Glad you could all make it. But as you know me I like getting straight to the point. Me and Punz have been experimenting with the book lately as some of you know. And we made an astounding discovery, as you know the book can bring back players from the dead and can occasionally put them into a hypnotic state that allows me to control them. Me and Punz thought hey what if we put the two chants together when bringing back a player. And at first it didn’t really work at all, but we kept trying because we knew if we could do that we could do anything. We worked on it for weeks, hours upon hours every day, until it worked…”
Dream looking over his shoulder beckoning to a person just behind the curtain. They walk out, full enchanted netherite, diamond trim, perfect form, sword in sheath. Tommy looks at this persons face and… no it can’t be, Tubbo… His cold eyes unfocused, with Dream explaining how many times he had to ‘restart’ (meaning he killed Tubbo many times.). Tommy shocked that his friend had become one of Dream’s little puppets as well. Tommy had been hoping that Dream would just keep Tubbo at peace, dead. Tommy knew how it felt to be brought back, he had felt it all. It felt like hell, he can’t imagine how Tubbo would have gone through that.
Dream was explaining how he was doing it,” I would try different methods of bringing him back and would bring him back in a little cell. Usually he would be quite disoriented and at the slightest sound he would flinch in pain and if I hit him it would be very painful for him. Sometimes we would be quite close like he wouldn’t be disoriented or anything but he wouldn’t obey, other times he would be extremely disoriented but obey in pain, surprisingly.”
Tommy listening, his mind struggling to wrap around the whole situation. Dream looking around to see various reactions varying from completely horrified to slightly amused. He thought it was all amusing to see how people reacted but also it would tell himself who was the most somewhat trusted. Some of the more experienced commdos didn’t really have a reaction they were a bit more measured like an oh well type of person. Everyone was different, Tommy was probably the most devastated because he was the closest to Tubbo.
(A week before - Dream’s and Punz’s ‘evil’ lair: it’s similar to the prison that Dream was at but slightly different in the inside less cells but still dark and moody and hard to get into. Ok back to the story:)
“How many’s times is this going to take!”Dream yells throwing the book on the velvet couch in front of a kind of box cell.
“I have no idea but just imagine the end goal Dream.” Punz says trying to keep Dream in a good mood. “Let’s just try again, k.”
“Fine, but I am this close to doing something else than this crap.” They open their books and start chanting the spell again and Tubbo pops into the cell.
“Oh no not again. Why can’t you just let me go-“ Before he could finish, he twitched and went to his knees.
“FINALLY, that took way too long.” Dream yelled while Punz did a little celebration.
“Here I’ll go get someone to get us drinks to celebrate.” Punz said while going up the stairs. Dream looking at Tubbo thinking what to do with him. Dream didn’t really have a reason to have a trusted loyalist. Everyone obeyed him quite well because he was thoughtful about the precautions.
(Present just imagine a narrator voice saying this cus I’m too lazy to make people talk): It had taken a long time to get to this point. Tubbo had died and been brought back over fifty times that week. It would have been more but Dream had a small attention span. Tubbo the first twenty times was confused, but as it went on it started to take a toll on his spirit/body. Scars started to appear, he began to become more pale, this was all because he was being brought back ten times a day and it was draining and painful. It felt like being torn into millions of bits and pieces and you could feel each individual piece’s agony. Tubbo went through some phases when going through the process. First he was a bit disoriented, then he began to plead after figuring out what was happening, after that he was much more defeated and resigned knowing to well that he was going to end up in Dream’s hands eventually.
Everyone was either intrigued, horrified, or unbothered. Dream loved the attention bad and good. After the initial shock Tommy was enraged. You could just see his face full of emotions from horror, sadness , fury and more. Dream of course notices and walks over to Tommy.
“Hi Tommy, what did you think of my little experiment?” Dream says with his icy cool voice. Tommy still brimming with emotions mostly anger, bursts after all the stuff he had done for dream and everything that had topped on him all the guilt and regret and anger was coming back all those months of pushing it down coming back to bite him.
“HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO TUBBO. YOU SON OF A BITCH. I ACTUALLY WANT TO KILL YOU RIGHT NOW. YOU COULD HAVE DONE THIS TO WILBUR OR ANYONE ELSE BUT NO YOU CHOOS-“ Tommy cuts of seeing Dream pull out a fishing rod from his inventory. The rage turning into fear in a matter of seconds.
“Do you know your place?” Dream says. The room was tense. Tommy with wide eyes knew he had messed up.
“Ye-yes sir.” Tommy said at the same time kneeling. It was embarrassing kneeling in front of your worst enemy. He was full with rage and fear and hatred and saddness all swirling inside him. (Clown and minute trying to hide their stupid giggles behind dream.)
“You are going to be guarding me from now on.” Dream says, “Im going to teach you the basics of obedience.” (Clown and minute both in sync let out a little exasperated sigh of annoyance because they know they’ll have to teach Tommy some things.) (And yes I know how cheesy this scene sounds. Remember this was half a year ago, I was very cheesy back then.)
The next day- Tommy, Dream, Clown and Minute were flying towards the egg’s council’s territory. They were flying over a large expanse of water known as the red river for the red vines that cover the bottom. After flying for a little while Tommy started seeing other people flying as well. At first it was only a few but as they got closer to the red land the more there were. Everyone that is part of the egg’s empire has some sort of red thing on or in them, for example red eyes, red clothing, red hair, a red earring, sometimes even a red vine wrapping around them growing. (Some people say that people with red vines were forced into staying with the egg overnight and the egg made itself grow around them to keep them loyal when not in territory.) Tommy started to see the land. There were buildings and shops but they were all covered with vines. It looked cool in a way… (about an hour later flying inland) They landed. Dream started walking, clown and minute following closely with Tommy trying to catch up. It was a large city in the middle of the egg’s territory, in fact it was were the egg lived. Tommy had never been to the egg’s empire before so he was looking about. It was very vibrant and red. People had little flower beds on the window of their apartments with red vines coming out of them spilling down the building. The vines moved as if they were alive. They would sometimes wrap themselves onto people. When that happened people that were in a rush to meeting would brush them off but most of the time they would let the vines hitch a ride around. Tommy was weirded out by these people, everyone had a weird trance look in their eyes. They moved down the Main Street towards a large dome that has red vines covering it. This dome is were the egg lives. They walk through the halls going around a corner encountering a few guards in front of a door.
“Stay here” Dream says to Tommy pushing his hand onto Tommy’s shoulder making him sit down outside the door.
“ ughhhhh why can’t I listen to you guys talk?” “ because you are bound to make a inturruption, and this is an important meeting.”
“Fine whatever” Tommy says pouting moving to a corner. Dream walks in and Tommy catches a glimpse of inside. The room is ornamented with red jewels and bbh (BadBoyHalo) is on the end of a long table with red councilors on each side ornamented with red jewelry and red dresses for the female, dark red suites for male. It did seem quite fancy something that he would love to disturb.
These are thoughts and ideas that I've been thinking of adding. Im a bit chaotic about all of this and there will totally be some strange time switches and skips.
Idea to add-the meeting with the egg’s council is at this huge round red dome building. Thats were the egg lives. They go into a planning room.
Idea to add clown and minute are like teenage girls gossiping and giggling and telling jokes on the job when Tommy joins guarding dream for his training he starts to tell jokes with clown and minute
Idea to add-sometimes dream lets tubbo’s mind come back to his body and he’s in control of it again but he is always extremely exhausted and sometimes becomes unconscious.
Idea: The egg’s court is an organization of some sorts a country. As you know the egg can sort of control people. This egg’s vines are all around the server infecting people and what not but Dream made an alliance with the egg’s court. A system that makes the egg as powerful as possible. This court agreed to an arrangement to keep the egg’s vines contained in certain areas. The egg could control spawn and other big areas that Dream agreed to give. The egg in return would give soldiers for Dream to use. These soldiers were differentiated by not wearing invis and always having red on them like their eyes or an earring or maybe dress of some sort. The head of the egg’s court is badboyhalo of course. Part of the deal is that Dream has to protect the egg’s safety and what not.
PLEASE FREAKING TELL ME IF YOU WANT TO SEE THIS CONTINUED!!!! I really want to add a relationship between the countries of Invisible Mafia/The Unstable SMP and the Antarctic Empire which is mainly run my Philza. IM SUPER EXCITED TO SEE IF YOU GUYS LIKE THIS STUFF!!! I saw one of my other fics get a hundred reads in like TWO HOURS so im pumped!
