heh, sorry about the late update. had some things going on in discord- which i just got

Dream has made the advancement [The End].

George frowned. That wasn't good.

He didn't know why, but he didn't want Dream to kill the Ender Dragon. It was almost like... he couldn't let him do it.

"C'mon George! Let's get him!"

Sapnap rushes by, swinging his diamond sword at silverfish. George is out of his trance.

GeorgeNotFound has made the advancement [The End].

Sapnap has made the advancement [The End].

TommyInnit has made the advancement [The End].

Ph1LzA has made the advancement [The End].

Tubbo_ has made the advancement [The End].

KarlJacobs has made the advancement [The End]....

Dream stared at the advancements on his virtual (or was it?) communicator.

"Dangnabbit!"

Nonetheless, he kept shooting down the End Crystals. Only a few more to go...

KABOOM.

KABLOOSH.

KABLOWSKI!

Out of nowhere, a shadow - WilburSoot- leapt out of the smoke of the last crystal. Shooting arrows at Dream in midair, he was suddenly grabbed by the Ender Dragon and swallowed. However, seconds later, he appeared back on the small obsidian platform.

They've got a bed.

Dream jumped on the dragon- physics were real-world like in this world, outside of Minecraft-

and plunged his sword into its neck-

Dream has made the advancement [Free The End]
Sapnap fell from a high place

...

Silence. Nothingness.

Is this the end?

The ground rushing by-

A boat hits the cold yellowish Endstone, and out climbs a very battered Dream, who looks up.

The death of the dragon had spawned tons of EXP...but this was not EXP. Greenish particles fell on the hunters, and slowly their eyes reverted to normal.

"Dream?"

"YES!"

"Dream you did it!"

"Good Minecrafting Dre!!"

"I feel great!"

A blur moves.

Sapnap pulls out his crossbow and shoots. Straight and true. At the wrong person.

Someone limps out of the shadows, pulling out the arrow from his arm.

It is not Nightmare. It's Wilbur. Who then stumbles and falls.

"...Oh no, Wilbur! WILBUR!" Tommy shouts. Sapnap tries to grab him, thinking about what he's done, then Nightmare swoops in and kicks him-

WilburSoot fell out of the world.

Sapnap fell out of the world.

"...We're all not corrupted anymore now, right?" Tubbo says. "So we can probably respawn now, righ-"

A blue orb materialises in front of George. Then a red one in front of Skeppy. Dream, shakily, whispers, "The orbs have found their new masters. Which means the old ones are gone."

(yes i did just do that haha)

Two weeks later

Tommy and Tubbo sit on a bench.

"Still thinking about Wilbur?" Phil sighs, plopping down between them.

"Yea."

"Yep."

"We'll have to get over him."

"I know, but-he was the best."

A sombre silence falls over the three, which is interrupted by-

"Guys. We found Nightmare's base. Time to get him."
