With tears in his eyes Quackity pushed Schlatt away and began to walk upstairs. Not even bothering to tell Schlatt what he'd be doing.

He didn't care anyways!

The doors to the castle bursted open and in stepped the one and only Technoblade with the servants and Dream right behind him. Tommy and Fundy walked into the main area to greet the pig man. Though he was happy to see the 2 he was more worried about the absence of 1 in particular.

"Where's Wilbur?" Techno walked up to Tommy and asked. Paying no mind to Dream and Fundy, who had already began playing patty cake together. "The bathroom. Why?" Tommy did feel a little insulted that he didn't even get a hello, but knew that whatever was going on must be important to The Blade. So he let it go.

"I'll be right back... maybe. If I'm not back in 10 minutes I'm most likely dead." Techno stated simply before walking away. Leaving Tommy confused and concerned for both of his brothers.

He wasn't as familiar with Wilbur's homicidal episodes as Techno was, so it was safe to say he was completely in the dark about whatever was going on.

"Hey, Big D. Did The Blade allow you to come along or did you do it simply because it'd piss him off?" Tommy asked, Dream rolled his eyes at the nickname. "He asked me to come along."

"That's such a lie."

She woke up in a panic, her breath heavy, and eyes wide. "Hey hey, calm down. You're ok." A stranger with fully blacked out glasses stood by her side. He seemed almost as shocked as she was.

"Where am I?!" She yelled and sat up, the stranger didn't wait a second before answering. "You're in my base, location wise you're 25 miles away from The Muffin Trio and 5 miles away from Manburg," He leaned up against the wall and looked over to her with a relaxed expression.

She paused for a moment to think. "Manburg... Tubbo! Is Tubbo ok?!" The stranger nodded in response. "He's alive, but besides that I'm unsure." She began to relax, feeling as though the stranger before her was not there to hurt her in any way. "What's your name?" She finally asked.

"My name is Eret, and yours?"

"You betrayed..." "I didn't have a choice." The two fell silent until Eret finally spoke up. "Would you like to get up and look around? I'd imagine that'd be a good thing to do after waking up from a coma."

Yeah Eret sounded extremely awkward, he didn't actually expect her to wake up.

"How long was I...."

"3 months."

She looked up at Eret in disbelief. "You're lying..." "Afraid not. When the war reached my village I was forced to leave and as I ran I found you unconscious in a hole." Eret sounded so casual, as if finding a girl in a coma was a normal thing to find in the woods. "You really did that for me?" She let a smile form upon her face. "Of course, I couldn't just leave you. The company was nice anyways." She let a small laugh and got up.

"Thank you so much..."

"My names Niki by the way."

..................................................................

Techno knocked upon the bathroom door, pausing for 2 seconds between each knock. Wilbur always hated when he did that, no clue why. After about 15 knocks Wilbur finally answered the door and stared his brother down.

"Wil, you ok?" Techno asked, real genuine concern poking through his normally extremely monotone voice. "I'm fine, just a little.." "Worried?" "Yeah."

Techno had always been able to read his brothers like a book, so it was easy for him to tell Wilbur wasn't telling the full truth. Of course Wilbur WAS worried for Philza, anyone would be, but there was more to it then that. Techno put a hand upon his brother's shoulder and said; "We both know he'll survive, Dad is much too petty to die. Now what's really got you so upset you decide to hide in the bathroom?"

Wilbur seemed taken a back, but after a moment of the 2 staring at each other he opened the door for Techno to come in. Once the door was closed behind them Wilbur finally opened up. "I'm scared Techno. With everything that's happening and Fundy being here I..." He paused.

"I don't want to hurt them."

An uneasy silence fell between them as Techno tried to think of a response. He never knew what to say in these situations... Finally he managed to think of something. "Remember when we were kid, how we used to spar whenever Philza was hunting?" Wilbur hesitantly nodded. "Remember how I lost control 1 day and how I almost stabbed you?" Techno didn't wait for a response, only just went on with the story. "In that moment I was so ready to kill you, but I didn't. I couldn't."

Wilbur interrupted Techno and asked; "What's your point?" "You may not believe it, but you're just like me, even during your episodes. It's always directed at Dad and I." Techno paused for a second before continuing. "You'd never hurt them not purpose or accident, they're much too important to you. No matter what they do to you you never would take your anger out on them."

Wilbur let out a small sigh, he was relieved to hear someone besides himself tell him that. "Thanks Techno."

"Don't mention it.. seriously."
