"Why do you think Techno is right!? He has caused so much destruction and hatred this part week, and you're still on his side!?"

"I am because he is fighting for what's right and I believe he is trying to fix a lot of the mistakes you made."

Another argument about the same thing, this argument had been going on for about roughly 15 minutes. It was really starting annoy Ranboo, Why couldn't Quackity just leave Phil alone? The old man is just trying to live to the best of his abilities but Quackity, apparently, doesn't want that to happen.

"What mistakes!? We are trying to make L'manburg better than it was! Techno is destroying that!" Quackity yelled, fury in his eyes.

"Technos not destroying anything, you're the one destroying the community, your reputation and friendships" Phil stated calmly, looking at the fuming man.

"Alright then, you know another thing I'm gonna 'destroy'?" Quackity asked, a smile creeping it's way onto his lips.

"What?" Phil questioned, raising brow.

"Your life" And Quackity whipped out his bow and cocked an arrow, aiming directly at Phil.

Ranboo's eyes widened, he rushed towards the older man, pushing him out the way right as the arrow was released. It felt like it went in slow motion. The piercing pain in Ranboos side, Phil yelling, Quackity gasping, but all lasted a second as Ranboo fell to the ground, a shriek leaving his mouth.

Phil rushed over and pulled the wounded boy into his lap, blood getting on his clothes. "Ranboo, stay awake! Don't you dare close those eyes!" Phil shouted, tears blurring his vision.

"I won't......I won't, slap me if I start closing my eyes......alright?" Ranboo mumbled quietly, looking up at Phil with a lopsided grin.

All the while this had been happening, Quackity just stood there in shock. Why did you save Phil? He assumed you knew the risk of saving Phil, so why?

Phil suddenly fired fireworks into the air, causing a big purple explosion to go off, Techno showing up a moment later. The piglin hybrid glanced at the wounded boy before turning to Quackity, eyes burning with rage.

"RUN" Techno muttered, aiming his crossbow at Quackity who took off in a flash.

Techno turned to the two individuals, immediately rushing over and gently picking up the taller boy. He started to sprint home, Phil following closely behind.

But little did they know, a certain someone with a green hoodie had been watching the scene, he had his mouth covered by his hand and tears falling like streams from his eyes, he knew he started all of this and he had to explain what he had done and had happened to him, so the individual ran off towards L'manburg, hoping to find the president and explain the situation to him, praying to god the president would listen.

It took no time at all for them to reach Technos house because Techno is fast when he runs. Phil was only able to keep up because he was flying.

The duo rushed to get bandages and potions to hopefully try and heal the boy. They didn't have much but it would be enough to save the boy. They quickly got to work, Phil keeping the boy awake while Techno had started to remove the arrow and stitch up the tall hybrids side. The hybrid in question groaned in pain, wincing whenever the needle pierced his skin.

Techno worked fast, wanting to get this over with quickly. Techno knotted the string, pleased with his work, the piglin hybrid quickly but carefully wrapped the boys torso in bandages in hopes to try and keep the stitches together, once satisfied with what he had done, he sent a glance at Phil, telling him that he was done. The raven hybrid sighed in relief and looked down at the boy.

"Can I sleep now....?" Ranboo asked quietly, eyes half-lidded.

Phil chuckled, "you can sleep now..."

"Thank god..." was all he got in reply before the tall boy was out like a light, light snores coming from the male.

The two older men looked at eachother for a moment before giggling lightly. The duo then silently stood up and tip-toed out of the room, Techno leaving first and Phil st the rooms doorway. The older man sent one last glance at the sleeping boy before turning away and closing the door, letting the exhausted boy get some well deserved sleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~time skip~~~~~~~~~~~

After a couple hours, the boy woke up, although he felt really dizzy and nauseous. The enderman hybrid opened his eyes and looked at his surroundings, he sighed. He was at Technos house, but no one was inside, weird.

The tall boy sat up but quickly stopped when pain shot through the right side of his body, his tail stiffening along with it. He looked down at his right half and saw it was bandaged as well as the rest of his torso. The right side of his body was more bloody than his left, he assumed that was where he had took the arrow. Speaking of arrow, he looked to the side and saw the arrow, still bloodied and sharp. The boy insisted a sharp breath before pushing himself up.

He sat down on the couch and  looked at the ceiling, recalling all the moments from the last hours. The boy shook his head and stood up, leaning on a wall for support. He definitely had low health but he wanted to go for a walk to try and clear his mind. He didn't mind the pain he was in, he just had to ignore it.

The boy stumbled over to the door and shaking opened it, revealing the snow covered land. Ranboo unwillingly shook from the cold breeze, but stood firm, tail low to the ground. He stepped out the house, closing the wooden door behind him. He just stood there for a moment, taking in the scenery, the snow gently floating to the ground and the light chirping of birds in the distance. This is why he liked going on walks, it really helped him make a decision as well as calm him down, the sounds of nature and the sights always helped.

The enderman hybrid stumbled down the ice covered stairs, gripping onto the railing for dear life. He slowly walked down the stairs, eventually reaching the bottom and started to walk towards the forest, a smiling making it's way onto his face, his tail flicking behind him fondly.

A few minutes had passed and the tall boy had just been walking through the forest, looking up at the sky and in an overall very gentle atmosphere. It felt......nice.

A few more minutes into the walk, he had started to hear what appears to be mumbling, he grew curious and slowly tred towards the quiet muttering, being careful with where he stepped.

The closer he got, the louder the mumbling became. He had managed to make out a few words, some of them being, 'stupid, believes me, banished, happened' and so on, he had yet to recognize the voice.

He was now behind a tree which was directly behind the thing responsible for the muttering, but as he was about to creep around the side of the tree. He stopped at the words that left the persons mouth.

"Stupid Tubbo, Quackity. Why can't they listen? I was trying to warn them. No one ever listens, I couldn't control myself. I never can....and now I've gone and got myself banished, hooray...." the voice mumbled, the voice now being able to be identified as Dreams.

Ranboo stood there for a moment. What did he just hear? Was Dream possessed by a Dreamon? That would make sense because the Dream the hybrid knew wouldn't want to do that much chaos. Everything then snapped into place.

Of course! The Dreamon most likely possessed Dream in hopes to create chaos and succeeded. And since it didn't have a use for Dreams body anymore, it just left him because it knew nobody would believe him.

Ranboo was about to come out from behind the tree to confront the muttering mess but was cut off by the noise of an arrow, to which the green hooded man didn't hear. The enderman hybrid shot his head in the direction, seeing Quackity with his bow cocked with an arrow, aiming directly at Dream like it had Phil, his ear flicked, informing Ranboo that Quackity had released the arrow.

It all played out like it had with Phil. Ranboo saw the whole scene flash in his mind, he didn't want anyone to die, and now he understood that Dream wasn't in control of himself, he definitely didn't deserve to die.

Ranboo instinctively teleported infront of Dream from where the arrow had been shot from, he closed his eyes and spread his arms out and quickly got pierced in the chest,his tail falling simply upon impact.

He stood there silently, before eventually falling to his knees, his blood slowly starting to drop from the wound in his chest and from his mouth. He heard scuttling from behind him and soon looked up to see Dream in front of him, eyes glistening with tears.

Ranboo smiled wholeheartedly at the distressed man, a dry cough leaving his mouth.

"I know it wasn't you.... you had no choice" Ranboo uttered, sending one final smile to the hooded figure, before collapsing entirely in a puff of smoke, the only remnants of his person being the pile of items on the floor, a death message following shortly after.

Ranboo was slain by Quackity using Bow

Dream remained knelt infront of the enderman hybrids stuff for a few minutes, stray tears running down his cheeks as his eyes stared in shock. Questions coming and going from his head.

He was broke from his thoughts when he heard rustling coming from behind him, he turned his head around to see Quackity standing there, tears running helplessly down his cheeks, a loose hold on the murder wea- he means, the bow used to shoot Ranboo.

They remained in silence, an uncomfortable and eerie atmosphere surrounding them. It was soon broke by more rustling, Techno and Phil appearing shortly after. Techno had his eyes wide while Phil stood beside him, tears freely flowing from his glazed eyes.

Silence washed over the squad, everyone grieving in their own ways.

They all felt Guilty.
