Ranboo and Phil walked in silence, a semi awkward/comfortable aura surrounding the pair. While they were walking, the sun had started to come up, its rays of light illuminating the dark forest, the light reflecting off of the leaves almost metallic like.

They slowly walked back to the area the enderman hybrid had been previously trapped in. The boys nerves slowly started to increase, an unsure look making it's way onto his face. He could already smell the blood of the people from his village and to know that whoever did this was friends with someone like Phil and was just beyond the small brush of trees scared him.

Phil noticed the hybrids hesitation almost immediately and turned to console the boy.

"You have nothing to worry about Ranboo, my friends are really nice and won't hurt you, I'll make sure of it" Phil reassured, placing a gentle hand of the tall hybrids shoulder.

Ranboo looked down at the older man, sending a thankful glance his direction before looking back to where they were heading.

They soon came across the opening in the forest, the boy could already see the splatters of the blood and the strong smell of iron through the gap. He gulped down a breath and followed the winged hybrid through the small entrance, falling a bit behind the confident man.

The older man looked over at a person in the middle of all the carnage, blood splattered over their clothing and axe which lay motionless on his back.

"Yo! Techno! We have a new member!" Phil called out, picking up his pace towards the individual now identified as 'Techno.'

Ranboo trailed behind the older man silently, unsure if he should trust them completely.

"Yo, whose that behind you?" Techno asked, quirking a brow in response to seeing the new person.

"This is Ranboo, you know, the person that was running on all fours away from the group of people that had chained him down?" Phil stated, using his hands to gesture to the shirtless hybrid and where he was previously chained.

"Oh.... I'm assuming hes the one that produced the loud shriek then." Techno stated, looking at the tall hybrid with a blank stare.

"Yep! I asked him if he wanted to come with us and he agreed. So we've gotten ourselves another member" Phil affirmed, his hands gesturing to the hybrid unknowingly.

"Y-ya, that's me. I also wanted to thank you two for saving me back there. I would've been dead if it wasn't for you two." Ranboo chuckled nervously, stuttering at the thought of slowly being drained of his blood.

"Its no problem, really. It's hard living out here alone so it's the least we could do to help a fellow hybrid" Techno replied, wiping some blood from his cheek.

Now that the boy had a good look at Techno, he saw that he was also a hybrid. A piglin hybrid he believed. Techno wore a white shirt with some trousers and a red cape that looked as if it was meant for royalty which was probably drenched in blood from the people he killed. He also had a pig mask on with pig ears protruding from his head. On top of his head layed a crown, similar to the one that the boy himself was wearing. It had a few red jewels lining its rim and had one big ruby in the middle of it. Under said ruby was writing which said 'blood god,' the enderman hybrid was curious about the name but didn't think he wanted to get into detail about it.

"Alright, I've finished up here. You want to head back now? We got what we came for." Techno asked, trying to get bits of blood off his face, hands and axe.

"Probably for the best, we've been out for a while and we got what we needed, plus a new member" Phil uttered, placing a hand on his chin.

"Alright, come on then" Techno muttered, gesturing for the two to come with him, to which they promptly obeyed.

The walk back to the dream smp was calming to say the least. They had light conversation, talking about what they had all done in the past and what they wish to do in the future. Phil and Techno also asked the enderman hybrid some questions as they had never encountered a hybrid like him before. Ranboo happily answered all their questions about him as he had trust they wouldn't use it against him in any way.

The winged and pink haired men both were quite astonished at what the boy could do, they contemplated the things he could do and how it could benefit them and the boy. They didn't want to use the teen for their abilities but to just genuinely hang out with him and learn more about him and being a enderman hybrid.

Ranboo felt exhausted by the time they got to the entrance of the dream smp, but it all quickly melted away at the sight of where they were. It was a huge gate with grand walls surrounding a large area of land, a large majority of it with what the teen could only assume being a plains biome with a couple trees dotted around. The walls were over grown with vines and colourful flowers, all of which had different smells and designs. Ranboo looked on in amazement and awe of the huge structure. Not once had he seen such a huge project such as this be made, let alone completed.

"Open the gates!" Techno yelled, using his hands to make him sound louder.

A face peered over the edge of the gate. Ranboo looked up to see a small head with a black and red hood, the person underneath appeared to have small horns protruding from their head, similar to the enderman hybrid, they also had a halo above their head. The teen didn't bother to question it and looked straight as the gate began to rise, revealing a beautiful field of flowers and different people with animals features spread out through out said field, all presumably doing their own thing.

The three hybrids walked through the gate, it slowly shutting behind them, connecting to the ground with a loud bang.

Ranboo followed behind the two older men, slowly taking in his surroundings. There was a farm, a ranch, houses, a community garden, even a fountain! The tall teen was left speechless at the sight of all of it. Techno and Phil walked down a path, saying hi to people they passed. The boy was awkwardly trailing behind the two, sometimes trying to hide behind Phil's wings but failing miserably because of the height difference and his tail flicking behind him excitedly.

The three eventually came to what Ranboo could only assume to be the middle of the the dream smp. A lot of people were gathered at the centre, making the boy seem small compared to how many people were there, despitevknowing there was probably a huge height different between him and everyone else there.

Techno and Phil stopped in front of the small crowd, making Ranboo stop as well.

"Hello everyone, we're back!" Phil announced, walking away from the two that were with him.

A group of people looked at Phil and almost immediately ran up to him, engulfed him in a hug.

"DADZA!!" One yelled. Ranboo looked the source of the voice, being met with a tall, slightly skinny blonde who attained a white short sleeved shirt with red sleeves and outline along the shoulders and neck hole. The blonde boy had small horns coming from his head with a devil like tail coming from behind him, wagging in excitement.

Another two joined the hug, one wearing a beanie with a yellow sweatshirt and had fish ears with a blue tint to his skin, and the other one had antenna and wings with short brown hair and a green button up shirt.

There was also a girl there aswell, they were rather short and had long brown hair with blonde strands at the front. They wore light blue denim overalls with a light pink and white striped shirt underneath. She didn't have any sort of animal or mob features however.

The five coversed for a while, Techno and Ranboo standing next to eachother silently, glancing at the small interaction with pleasure.

The boy with the blonde hair looked behind Phil, a questionable look coming onto his face at the sight of the new hybrid.

"Phil? Who's that?" The boy asked, pointing to Ranboo.

"That's Ranboo, hes a hybrid we saved from being killed" Phil replied, sending a small smile to the enderman hybrid to which the other returned.

"Well, hi Ranboo! I'm Tommy, call me big man though. And this is Wilbur, Tubbo and Niki." The individual now known as Tommy stated, gesturing to the people he was naming.

The three mentioned waved at the tall teen to which he happily returned.

"H-hi, I'm Ranboo as you know and I'm an enderman hybrid" Ranboo stuttered, rubbing his neck nervously.

Tubbo, Tommy and Niki eyes widened in amazement, you could almost see the stars form in their eyes. A person standing behind the three perked up at the mention of an enderman hybrid, their ear flicked towards the conversation they were having, looking back at the person he had previously been talking to but keeping an ear out for any other information.

"REALLY!?!?" Tubbo squealed, bringing his hands up to his cheeks.

"Ya, you never heard of one before?" Ranboo chuckled, his tail flicking behind him fondly at the interaction.

"I've heard of them but I've never see one before, is it ok if I ask you some questions Ranboo?" Tubbo asked excitedly, trying to contain his excitement.

"Sure! Ask away" Ranboo replied, folding his arms in front of him.

Tubbo, Tommy and Niki immediatly started to bombard the poor teen with questions, making the boy sweat drop at the eagerness. He slowly began to answer their questions like his age, his abilities etc. The three were amazed at how young he actually was and more questions filled their heads, making the three of them ask more questions about the hybrid.

Techno was no longer standing next to Ranboo but instead had walked over to Phil and Wilbur who were watching the whole interaction go on.

However, a certain individual had been watching and listening to the small conversation between the four, a malicious smile making it's way onto his lips.

The man politely excused himself from the conversation he was in and slowly walked over to the tall teen, his chest puffed out and his arms behind his back.

Ranboo noticed the new comer but decided to ignore the individual until they spoke up. The man that walked up didn't look too friendly in his opinion. They were wearing a suit with a red tie and they had ears, a small tail and large horns curling around the sides of his head. The man looked like he had the animal traits of what the teen could remember to be a ram. Rams used their horns to charge at other animals or people. They could cause massive destruction if hit hard enough. He also had a smile on his face, not the friendly type though. So the boy was a little bit hesitant at first but he was just being a hypocrite because he was probably more dangerous than the other could be.

"Hello, I've never seen you around here, are you new to the dream smp?" The horned man asked, his hands coming to settle in his pockets while one of his eye brows raised in curiousity.

Tommy, Tubbo and Niki stopped asking the tall boy questions and turned to look at the man, looks of uncertainty resting on all of their faces.

"Go away Schlatt, I don't think we want to you to ruin another minors head" Tommy muttered, his tail flicking behind him in annoyance of the presence of the older.

"Why not? I'm not going to do anything to him, well, not anything too bad." Schlatt uttered, a malicious grin growing on his lips. Ranboo didn't like the smile that was on the males face, it reminded him too much of the smiles the village people wore when hunting him down. It unsettled him.

Ranboo bent down to Tubbos level and whispered in his ear, "who's that?"

"That's Schlatt, he has an ego the size of his pride and thinks he runs the place. He makes fun of people because of their looks but no one has told him to stop other than Techno and Dream because the last time that happened.....someone almost died" Tubbo replied quietly, looking at the tall hybrid.

The enderman muttered a small 'oh' under his breath and stood up fully, towering over the three infront of him. Techno, Phil and Wilbur were all watching the interaction with caution, ready to spring into action if needed.

Schlatt continued, "I simply want to know more about the new comer, after all, is it bad to be curious?" Ranboo stayed quiet, hoping Tommy, Tubbo or Niki would continue the talking as he wasn't exactly comfortable with the vibe the ram hybrid was giving off.

"His name is Ranboo, hes 16/17 years old and hes an enderman hybrid. There, ya happy?" Niki replied sassily, annoyed by Schlatts persistence on the teen.

"An enderman hybrid you say? They're suppose to be really dangerous aren't they? Why would he be here, isn't he dangerous to the rest of us here? And why is half his body white? Isn't an enderman suppose to be black?" Schlatt remarked, his brow furrowing in thought and gesturing to the topless hybrid infront of him.

Ranboos ears went down slightly at the thought of being a threat to his new friends. He didn't want to hurt them on accident. The boy tried covering his torso with his arms but knew is was barely doing anything. He suddenly felt exposed. Phil, being the observant dad that he is, noticed the change in the hybrids body language and spoke up.

"He would only hurt us if we hurt him and I doubt we would want to, so how about you suck it up and go back to your 'duties'" Phil stated, walking towards the confident individual to try and get his attention away from the boy.

"Stop speaking for Ranboo, he can talk for himself. As I was saying, aren't you dangerous to everyone here? Why did they bring you back? You're going to cause nothing but trouble and if you're going to stay here, you should know your place... " Schlatt commented, subtly getting into a stance to run at the tall teen.

"I-I um-" Ranboo stuttered, placing a hand on his neck and rubbing it nervously, in all honesty, the teen didn't know how to respond without shouting at the horned male. His patience was running thin as he had lost a lot of it earlier from the run he had done. The boy didn't get a proper chance to reply because Schlatt was already sprinting towards the boy, his horns facing the enderman hybrid.

Niki, Tubbo and Tommy all jumped out the way leaving the tall teen to fend for himself. He looked at Schlatt, his patience finally coming to an end. He straightened his stance, getting ready to catch the strong male and to hopefully stop him from being rammed in the chest.

Techno drew his sword but didn't have enough time to get infront of the tall boy, soon enough, the two collided. Everyone stood silently together, all of their attention now on the two.

Ranboo had one of his arms raised, one of Schlatts horns in his grip, preventing the male from charging at him. The boy had a few particles floating around him, them drifting helplessly in the breeze with his tail flicking behind him aggressively, indicating that he was not happy. The enderman hybrid slowly raised the other male off the ground by the horn, making the ram hybrid wince slightly at the pain.

The boy brought the man close to his face, his eyes glaring daggers at the older man.

"Listen here and listen well, you don't own this place and no one here is your slave. You are equal to the rest of us and have no right to try and 'put people in their place' just because you want power and want to control everyone. You are lucky to even be let in here because if I was the one running this place, I would've thrown you out already. Everyone is just trying to live their lives without someone like you messing it up. You are to not manipulate or hurt anyone here anymore while I'm around. Do I make myself clear?" Ranboo muttered dangerously, a calm tone lacing his words through gritted teeth, fighting the urge to throw the male in his strong grip.

Schlatt remained silent for a few moments, hesitant to respond to the boy, a precarious aura surrounding the tall teen. He uttered a small yes, making the enderman hybrid let out a sigh and gently place down the scared male, to which said male ran off almost immediatly. Ranboo slumped down, making the boy go down a couple inches, slowly calming his nerves, the aura slowly dissipating along with the small amount of particles.

The tall teen looked over the wide eyed crowd, his eyes glancing at the soft gaze of none other than Phil.

"Phil, is it ok if you take me to where I'll be staying for tonight? I'm kinda done for today...." Ranboo asked, sending the winged hybrid a pleading look to which the older man immediatly got the message and swiftly responded, "of course, follow me if you may."

Phil started to walk in the direction of the house the boy will be staying in with the hybrid trailing close behind. As they left, everyone just stood in amazement, no one had stopped Schlatt from doing things like that other than Dream and Techno. But the new comer comes in and stops him like it's nothing!? Questions filled all of their heads, an interest for the boy growing with each new question.

Ranboo and Phil stood side-by-side, a silent and comfortable atmosphere surrounding the two.

"Hey Phil?" Ranboo asked nervously, playing with his fingers and nails.

Phil hummed.

"I just wanted to apologise for the stunt I pulled back there, it wasn't right of me to cause a scene like that." Ranboo muttered, his tail remaining motionless behind him.

"Its alright Ranboo, no need to apologise. He had it coming." Phil chuckled, waving off the apology.

"Ok... I thought I would be in some kind of trouble." Ranboo stated, scratching his arm lightly.

"Nah, it's fine mate. Hes been a problem ever since he got here. We've given him multiple warnings and he was on his last one, so, you gave him the punishment that he deserved. He probably would've faced something worse. So you've kind of saved him from a really bad punishment." Phil reassured, placing a gentle hand on the hybrids bare arm, rubbing it slightly before pulling his hand away.

The enderman hybrid only nodded and looked ahead of him, a comforting silence washing over the two. They walked in silence again, the only noises being the slight rustle of leaves from the slight breeze with the soft chirps of birds with various other animal noises piping in every now and again. The duo soon came up to a house, it had the basic look of a house with a few vines growing up the side of it, giving it a very over grown and old feeling to it.

"Heres where you'll be staying for tonight, it's only temporary for the time being. We'll start building your house tomorrow and also get you some more clothes, is that alright?" Phil questioned, looking up at the tall hybrid and gesturing to the hybrids bare torso.

"That's fine, thank you for letting me stay here." Ranboo responded, sending a look of gratitude to the older man.

Phil only chuckled lightly at the thanks, waving his hand slightly.

"Its fine, if you need anything, my house is just over there. You are free to come in and wait for me if I'm not there." Phil giggled, pointing to a house just a few houses down from him.

"Alright, I'll see you later then" Ranboo chuckled, heading to the door, opening it gently.

"see ya mate" Phil waved to the tall hybrid, to which the taller happily returned.

And when Phil was just a blob in the distance, Ranboo turned around and headed inside, swiftly closing the door behind him.

He took a quick look around the interior of the house, a small bed in one corner and some bookshelves, furnaces and a crafting table in the other.

He sighed happily and automatically headed over to the bed, his shoes slipping off his feet and flopped onto the bed face first. Ranboo got under the covers and was out like a light, a small smile graced on his lips as he fell into the deep abyss of sleep.

He finally felt like he belonged...
