"Y/n, please stop," Ranboo warns, almost in a pleading tone.
"I thought you said you weren't going to pick sides!" I argue back.
"I- I'm not picking sides... I'm doing this to help TechnoBlade because-" I cut him off.
"TechnoBlade?" I ask suspiciously. Ranboo quickly stiffens, he said something he wasn't supposed to. Why does TechnoBlade want me?
"I'm sorry, y/n," Ranboo says, continuing to drag me along with him.
"Ranboo, let me go," I say, trying to break free from his grasp. But he's taller and stronger than me. I take one last attempt to squirm away, but he takes out his enchanted iron sword.
"I don't want to hurt you, but I will if I have to." Ranboo growls, I reluctantly stop and trudge along with him in defeat. Why is he being like this? I thought he was my friend. We continue our journey to L'manburg, his hand wrapped firmly around my shoulder as we walk. As I look up at the pitch-black sky, I worry about L'manburg. I can only hope it isn't as bad as I imagine.
Dream's POV:
I hope TechnoBlade won't catch on. I only trapped y/n because I know if y/n were here in the war TechnoBlade would kill her. I know TechnoBlade wouldn't hold back, he'd stop at nothing. He'd kill her the first chance he'd get. That's the only reason I left her back at my base, imprisoned. I can't just betray TechnoBlade, I need L'manburg to be destroyed. I know y/n will hate me even more... I trapped her for her own good, for her own safety. I repeat over and over in my head, trying to convince myself. I can't let her die.
I scan the battlefield. I think it's time I go fight the people of L'manburg myself. I climb down from the grids carefully, and onto the ground. My jaw clenches as I see Tubbo, Niki, and somebody else who I can't quite make out, gang up on Sapnap.
They're backing him up into the fire that is now raging across L'manburg. I quickly make my way towards Sapnap, I have to help him. As I reach his side, my eyes widen as I realize the other person is George. My shock quickly turns to anger as I start to fight back. I swing my glowing ax, landing a hit on George, making him stumble back. George looks up at me in surprise, I'm glad my mask blocks my expression. I feel my fists ball up in anger, George betrayed me.
"You're gonna fight me now, too, Dream?" George questions, while the others were busy fighting each other. "Was dethroning me not enough?" He spits, looking down at his sword.
"George, you betrayed me!" I snap back.
"No, Dream! You betrayed me, since the moment you met y/n. You're never around anymore Dream!" George argues. He's still on about this? Why does he care so much? I didn't betray him.
"You can't control who I'm around, you can't control me!" I say angrily.
"You chose her, over our friendship!" George counters.
"I didn't choose anything! I'm not choosing anybody, you're just being unreasonable!" I raise my tone in exasperation. Before George can respond I continue on. "I can be with whoever the hell I want to be with! Why does it even concern you-" George suddenly cuts me off.
"Am I not enough, Dream?!" He interrupts, his tone desperate. I stare at him for a second, taken aback by his remark.
"George of course you're enough-" I start, softening my tone.
"Am I not enough?" He repeats, his voice rising. "You love her Dream, ever since you laid eyes on her you're never around. Nothing's like it was before!" George pauses, looking up from his sword.
"You became distant!" I see tears prick at his eyes. He quickly wipes them away with a huff. "Y'know what? You're self-centered Dream! You only think about yourself, you left me and you don't even care. You left me!"
"George, what are you talking about?" I ask carefully, George looks up at me, his eyes puffy and red.
"You only care when it benefits you, Dream! You had no idea what I was going through, you were too caught up in yourself to care! I was there for you when you needed me! I was always there, but you cast me aside, you left me out. As soon as you found something more important, you tossed me aside." George pauses, dry tears stain his cheeks. My chest starts to feel heavy with guilt as I stare at him in surprise.
"George, I've always cared, I didn't cast you aside!" I argue back. "I'm sorry I wasn't there, but right now you're being selfish. I have other priorities too, y'know!" I retort, feeling myself start to get irritated.
"Selfish?!" George cries out. "I'm selfish? Dream if anything you're the selfish one! You're self-absorbed, you don't care about anything but yourself! It's like you don't even need me-" George starts indignantly, but I cut him off in anger.
"Maybe you're right, George! Maybe I don't need you!" I yell suddenly, my tone harsher than I intended. I see a look of hurt cross George's face, I instantly regret my words. George takes a step back in surprise. I see his eyes well up with tears, he quickly turns around so his back is facing me.
"Yeah, well, I needed you, Dream, and you weren't there..." George trails off, his voice bitter.
"George..." I start cautiously. I attempt to place my hand on his shoulder but he shrugs it off roughly. "I didn't mean it like that-" George cuts me off.
"No, Dream, I'm done," George says in a tired voice. I tentatively back away from him. I look behind me, Niki and Tubbo are still fighting Sapnap. I turn back around to face George, but before I can respond George runs off into the midst of the battle. I silently curse under my breath, I just messed things up even more with George. I have to fix this, but right now is not the time. I take a deep breath, I'll worry about this later.
I turn back towards the fighting. Sapnap is fighting against Niki and Tubbo. I join, landing a hit on Niki's chest plate. Niki is outmatched, she quickly flees. Sapnap gives me a grateful look before running after her.
Now it's just Tubbo and me.
