Ranboo sat in his panic room, his arms and tail wrapped around his knees.

Dreams voice kept saying things to him, he didn't want to believe what he said but all that came from the voice was an echo of painful truths, things that Ranboo didn't want to believe but had no reason to deny since he held no proof of not doing them.

"You blew up the community house, you are responsible for all the destruction that has been caused on this server, do you understand? The TNT in the chest says it all" Dream uttered, his invisible body coiling around the tall boys body like a snake trying to kill its prey.

"I k-know, I just don't w-want to believe I-I betrayed everyone" the sniffling hybrid muttered, bringing his shaking body closer to himself in an attempt for comfort, yet, it didn't seem to work.

I think that's enough toying with him.... I'll leave him be....for now Dream chuckled quietly, slowly creeping out of the enderman hybrids 'panic room,' swimming up through the water and onto the shore, disrupting the calm ocean surface.

He stood up on the shore line, not a single sign of him ever being in the water, he turned towards L'manburg and walked away, letting the invisibility potion wear off; it was a simple trick but effective. Dream snickered.

As Dream walked away, a different green hooded figure emerged from the nearby brush, a look of concern plastered on his features as he watched the snickering individual walk into the distance. His figure becoming only a speck of green among the other blotches of colour.

The figure, also known as DreamXD, was the person that had watched Dream and was, in a sense, Dreams shadow. He is forced to stop people from going to the end. These orders being assigned to him by none other than Dream himself. People believed that DreamXD and Dream were the same person, but that's where they're wrong. DreamXD is completely different to Dream. For starters, he is a lot more empathetic and kind towards people. Hes considerate about others and doesn't like when people are sad, kinda like Ghostbur minus the blue. He also didn't wear a mask because he didn't see the point in covering yourself when people will eventually see what you look like.

DreamXD shook his head lightly and carefully scanned the area to make sure no one was going to jump him or was aware of his presence before slowly creeping towards the small entrance to the panic room.

He gently dipped his toes in the water, sending small ripples out, gently disturbing the water before slowly starting to submerge himself in the clear liquid, it felt refreshing.

He looked around in the water for the entrance, quickly finding it and slowly started to swim towards it as to hopefully not scare a certain individual in the room.

He slowly swam to the entrance, his hand hesitantly being placed on the inside, careful to try and not disturb the black and white haired male.

The green hooded man gently pulled himself through the entrance of the panic room, his feet softly hitting the ground as to not alarm the already tearful teen. He stared at the tall boy, now shaking with sobs and cries.

He let out a soft sigh before taking a seat infront of the boy, but a fair distance away as to hopefully not startle the enderman hybrid.

He opened his mouth to talk but hesitated. DreamXD sounded an awful lot like Dream but with a slightly higher voice, he didn't know where to go from here because, either way, his presence is going to scare the trembling boy.

He sighed lightly, mustering up the courage to speak three simple words, "are you ok?" DreamXD muttered, concern written all over his face, and his body relaxed, hoping to seem to be less of a threat.

The enderman hybrid jumped at the sudden voice, his head snapping up to meet the concerned eyes of DreamXD making him back further up into the corner of his panic room.

"Shh.... shh, I'm not going to hurt you, calm down...." DreamXD mumbled gently, reaching a comforting hand out to place on the shaking hybrids shoulder.

Ranboo tried to flinch away from the contact but couldn't as he was as far as he could get into the corner as physically possible. The tall teen looked at the green hooded man, a frightened but curious glint in his mismatched eyes. He took heavy but shaky breaths, still cautiously eyeing the individual.

"That's it... deep breaths...." DreamXD whispered, rubbing small circles on the teens arm.

Ranboo slowly began to calm down, the only thing coming from the boy were small sniffles.

"There.... now that you've calmed down, is it ok if I ask something?" DreamXD asked softly, a small smile on his face. The teen nodded hesitantly.

"Alright.... do you mind telling me why you were crying? You don't have to if you don't want to with us just meeting and all... but I would like to help in any way I can and I'm willing to listen to what you have to say" DreamXD mumbled, a soft smile gently placed on his face.

Ranboo hesitated for a moment, taking a glance over the individual, caution evident on his face. After a minute or two, the teen let out a sigh, looking at the man in the eyes.

"A-alright, I'll t-tell you" Ranboo stuttered, uncertainty lacing his voice.

"Of course, take as much time you need..." DreamXD murmured, a reassuring smile on his lips.

Ranboo returned the smile before taking a deep breath.

And so, Ranboo told this stranger about what he had been experiencing. The Dream voice, the panic attacks. Everything. Through out all of it, the man held a concentrated look on his face, focusing on the words coming from the hybrids mouth, nodding along to what the teen said. Once Ranboo had finished talking, DreamXD gave the hybrid words of advice and reassurance, a gentle and light tone, laced in his voice.

DreamXD told the tall teen about himself and everything he knew about Dream and what he could do. He also mentioned how he was linked to Dream in a way they can be counted as one person. Ranboo wrote that down in his memory book, knowing it will be key information for the future.

This cycle repeated for a few days, DreamXD coming into Ranboos panic room, calming him down and telling him more about Dream. But the green teletubbie soon found out about their secret interactions. It enraged Dream but he knew he couldn't kill him or hurt him as he would feel the pain, but if Dream got hurt, DreamXD never felt the pain. It was...... strange to say the least.

Through out these interactions between the two, everyone was having conflicts with Dream. The green hooded boy only found it amusing, only treating it like a game; him being the person moving the people like a game of chess, slowly knocking down different people.

The people of the Dream smp were pawns in this massive game of chess, however, Ranboo was a different story. Ranboo had the ability to shake everyone out of their blind states of fear and rage. This was the key reason why Dream specifically targeted the tall hybrid because one wrong move, then Dream loses at his own game, so he had to play his cards right.

Ranboo had been mustering up the courage to stand up to Dream, DreamXD by his side, muttering encouragement whenever the hybrid even felt the slightest bit of doubt, they were a good friend.

Ranboo had been gathering the people of the smp, gearing them up with everyone pitching in with resources. They had almost the entire smp gathered when they decided to confront Dream. Ranboo and DreamXD leading the way.

They were all in the prison, Dream there with a cocky smile on his face.

No words were spoken, only the slight shuffling of people filled the empty room. No one dared speak as they knew Dream would attack at the slightest noise.

Ranboo glared at the masked man, that stupid mask staring back at him, no sort of emotion lining the blank mask other than than stupid grin.

The hybrid gritted his teeth, before quickly charging at the man, taking a first swing. Soon, everyone had started to join in with the fight, everyone taking turns with fighting Dream. The fight didn't last long, no matter how hard Dream fought, they just kept coming.

The man quickly got tired out and was soon at the mercy of Ranboo, his sword raised to his throat.

Ranboo was about to thrust the blade through the masked mans neck but quickly remembered the link between Dream and DreamXD. He reluctantly withdrew his sword, shieving it vefore quickly grabbing the collar of Dream and bringing him to a cell, swiftly shoving the man in, not too worried about him escaping as he had no tools or armor on him. It all got broke in the fight.

Ranboo sent a quick glance at Sam,  (Awesamdude) receiving a quick nod from the tall man who stood next to the door. The tall hybrid sent a look of pity towards the caged man before quickly exiting the prison with everyone trailing behind him.

Ranboo was stopped at the portal by a gentle hand on his shoulder. He looked at the person who had stopped him, being met with the face of DreamXD.

"You did the right thing, Ranboo" he smiled, looking at Ranboo.

The hybrid returned the smile, before walking through the portal, a sense of pride emitting from his tall being.

As time went by, Dream reflected on his actions, his mood becoming more sorrowful and distraught. He regretted his actions, he saw what he did and regretted them as he now sees he wasn't in the right mindset.

Ranboo noticed the change in mood and let out the man. When asked about why he let him out, he simply replies with: 'its clear he regrets his actions, everyone deserves a second chance'.' It had been a year since then and everyone lived in peace. Happiness coming from all the members.

They finally got a happy ending.
