"TOMMY?" PHILZA CALLS out in shock as he sees his youngest son walk alongside Techno, a slight limp in his step due to the fight between him and Tubbo.

"I can't fucking believe him." Tommy rants as the trio enter their home, "He fucking exiled me! He called me selfish! I would have done anything for him!" He yells as he paces back and forth, ignoring the worried looks from Philza and Techno

"Why didn't you chose him?" Techno asks softly, a tone of voice Tommy has never heard from the man.

The blonde pauses in his step before letting out a sigh and leaning against the wall across from Edward "You didn't betray me." He says softly, the two look at him in confusion causing Tommy to continue his sentence

"Throughout everything, the war against Manburg and Pogtopia, and the war of the lake, you stood by my side, hell you stood by Wilburs side! We were horrible to you." Tommy admits with a sour laugh as he thought about the times he had with Wilbur, while the other two sit quiet, deciding to give Tommy a moment to rant

"I hated you for blowing up L'Manburg, I hated Phil for killing Wilbur, but the more I spent time thinking about it during exile... the more I realised why you two done it." He admits softly, a grim look on his face as he talked about his exile, a topic he wasn't use to discussing

"I use to love the times Dream and I had together but.. I was just a toy to him, just like I was a project for Tubbo, he never cared. Not after the became president." He says, causing Philza to speak up

"Why didn't you stay as president?" He asks softly, "I didn't want to fail anyone again, that and the discs... I failed Will, maybe if I had gone along with his plan to blow up L'Manburg.. he wouldn't have needed to die.. maybe I would have died in his place." Tommy says, thinking of the nights he'd lay awake, thinking of the many possibilities and 'what if's

"But Will lied to me. He said I would never become president and then he made me president, moments before blowing up L'Manburg. He wanted to blow up my L'Manburg, not Tubbos." He says, his voice quiet as he reaches the end of his sentence

"The reason I stayed, Techno, is because you haven't lied. You've been honest, and you actually cared.. you hid me from Dream for gods sake! Tubbo would have handed me in immediately." Tommy says with a sour look on his face as he looks up at Techno

"What exactly did Dream do to you, Tommy?" Techno asks, his voice back to the usual monotone tone everyone was use to

"He would visit me, daily, every single day all he would do is make me throw my items in a pit and he'd blow them up, everything I worked so hard for.. gone." Tommy says, his usual happy voice replaced with a solemn undertone, something that broke Phil's heart

"He made me believe he was my friend, until he blew up everything, Logstedshire, my tent and destroyed my portal.. I almost ended it that day, I built high into the sky, wanting nothing more than to be gone, but I didn't. I came here instead." He explains, his gaze now stuck to the floor

Techno glances at Philza before looking at Tommy, "how do you feel about ending L'Manburg once and for all?" He asks the boy, who looks at Techno, a look in his eyes the man couldn't recognise

"is.. is TnT gonna be involved?" He mumbles, Techno nods as if it were obvious, "I can't be near the TnT.. not again." Tommy says, whispering the last part to himself

"I can handle TnT, you two focus on attacking them and the withers." Philza states as Tommy gives him a look of gratitude

"sounds perfect to me." Techno says with a smirk, "Let's get some blood for the blood god." Tommy says with a shrug as Techno and Philza grin at him

"Down with L'Manburg, it was never meant to be."
