Stick to the Script

Chapter 29

Wilbur smirks, "because after you revive me, I'll make you a co-host of the world. We can rule together! You won't even need me to break you out because you will be all-powerful." 

Dream's eyes get a dark glint as Wilbur spoke of obtaining unlimited power. "Alright, let's get down to business." 

"Dream, no", I interrupt. "Wilbur is a bad guy who is not to be trusted! You were not there the day we all broke free from his control, so there must be a part of you he's still influencing. You have to fight it- fight him! Break free, but please do not aid him, or else this world that has slowly been recovering will be thrown back into chaos." 

Dream faces me. "You know y/n, I haven't seen the world since Wilbur was supposedly ruining it. The only thing that has happened to me since he left is that I've been abandoned in this jail cell. I've been left to rot away in here while people thought I may have been innocent!" Dream pauses. "My friends didn't even want to come and see me. So, if Wilbur is giving me a chance to become a god with him, I have nothing to lose, so I'm going to take that risk." 

With that Dream throws a notebook into the lava curtain at the entrance of the cell. Wilbur cackles gleefully, "yes!"

I look over fearfully at Wilbur, watching, waiting for something to happen. But the seconds start to tick into minutes. 

"Uh... that was kinda lame", Technoblade says. 

"What- what happened? Why didn't it work", Wilbur says, wheeling on Dream. 

"I-I don't know! It's never done this before!" 

Dream and Wilbur start to argue over why the ritual goes wrong when I sense someone behind me. I turn around to see that Dream has snuck up behind me. Wait... Dream? I look back at the entrance of the cell to see a different Dream arguing with Wilbur still. 

"Hello?", the new Dream asks. 

Wilbur and Dream immediately stop their argument to look at the new person in the cell. 

"Hello?", I cautiously respond. "Who are you?" 

"I'm DreamXD", he responds. 

All of us look over at Dream who seems to be just as confused as the rest of us. "What are you doing here?" 

"Well I'm what you would refer to as godly entity here, and I believe that I was summoned", DreamXD looks around, "by that man". 

Dream sputters, completely at a loss of how to react to the godly form standing in front of him. 

I look between the two. Besides the god looking more similar to the shape Dream was in before being arrested, the two really were identical. Except, instead of bearing the classic smile Dream has on his mask, DreamXD's had XD on it. 

"Why did you summon me?" 

Dream snaps out of his daze. "I wanted something." 

"Hm, well I'll grant one wish", DreamXD responds.

"We want a bell", Techno jokes from behind me. 

DreamXD turns around immediately and faces Technoblade. "Done." 

A bell appears in Technoblade's hand the god turns to the rest of us. "That is the one wish for you all. Goodbye." The god then vanishes. 

Dream faces Techno, his face red with rage. "TECHNO, YOU IDIOT!  WE COULD HAVE ESCAPED! THAT WAS MY WISH, HOW DARE YOU USE IT!" 

"That was a real god", Wilbur mutters. 

"SO WHAT?! TECHNOBLADE WASTED OUR ONLY WISH WITH A REAL GOD-"
