After a week of travel, the group made it to the border. Or more like, the wall.
        "Wait, theres a wall?" Phil asked, the four standing before it. "Is that why there's no gaurds?" The wall was huge. It standing what Phil could only guess hundreds of feet tall. made entirely of stone bricks and no entrance. From what he could see.
        "Oh yeah. It was built ages ago after some war and all. They did not like our county, that's for sure." Wilbur briefed.
         "So.... How do we get through it?"  Phil asked, because the only way through seemed to be over it.
         "We just have to follow it til we see the gate." Techno answered, turning to walk along the wall.
          "More walking? Ugh." Tommy groaned, as they started to walk once more.

         "Well, not anymore." A voice called. Out of nowhere, the Dream team appeared infront of them. Along with what seemed to be two other people. Some grey cat with other patterns and a shadow demon of some sort. Techno frowned, as Phil just sighed. Really? When they were so close?
         "The road ends here Phil. It's over. Just give up and come back to the lab." Dream spoke, resting his iron axe on his shoulder.

       He felt sick.

       "Never! We didn't just travel all this way to abandon our friend!" Tommy yelled, dropping his backpack and pulling out a sword.
         "What's wrong with you guys? Can't you see that stupid lab you work for is horrible?" Wilbur called, pulling out a bow. Techno silently pulled out his sword, the diamond gleeming. Phil nodded, grabbing a sword, ready to fight. Dream swung his axe down, mask still covering all emotion.
        "Fine then. Have it your way."

        The battle had begun. Faster than Phil could even see. The two groups clashed. The cat and shadow demon teaming up against Tommy, with Will trying to help from behind. George attacked Will, knocking his bow away. The fish man quickly pulled out a sword and fought him off. Techno decided to take on Dream, just like last time. While Sapnap charged him, hands glowing with fire.

       Phil rolled to the side as the flames shot past him. His heart beating fast as he dodged the fire. He slowly advanced, trying his best to keep his cool. He stole a glance at Tommy, the demon managing to hold the two off. But all of the sudden, Sapnap aimed at Tommy, throwing fire at him. The flames smacking him, sending him back.

       Phil gasped,
       "Tommy!" He yelled, running to help him. The shadow demon stopped him, sword pointed at his chest. It had some strange liquid tipped on it. Wilbur was struggling, still managing to hold George off, Techno managing too. Phil frowned, "back off." He hissed, jumping back and slamming his sword into the demon. Out of nowhere, a sharp pain racked his side. His eyes widened, looking to see a dagger dug into him.
         "Sorry." The demon muttered, pulling it out. Phil fell, collasping to the ground in pain. Usually a stab wouldn't take him down, but the pain was unbearable. It seeming to flare inside the wound and spread to the rest of his body.

        "Fuck!" He yelled, clutching his side. Tommy's eyes shot to him, as he was thrown to the ground, helpless.
         "Phil?!" He yelped, staring with wide eyes at him. It wasn't soon after that Techno and Will were out numbered. The both of them being taken down, with Phil still helplessly on the ground, withering in pain.

       He groaned, kneeled over, forehead pressed to the ground. It felt like a thousand needles were piercing his entire body. It practically burned and ached everywhere. Phil slowly opened his eyes, to see Dream walking towards him. Techno, Wilbur and Tommy with swords pointed to their necks.

       His hair got grabbed as Dream yanked his head up to show his face.
         "Looks like you lost. Should've given up." He said.
          "What did you do to him!" Tommy shouted, looking at Phil with fear. Afraid at the amount of pain he seemed to be in. The shadow demon spoke up,
          "It's just poison. It'll cause pain but not death. Though it does have some curse like side effects." Phil groaned, gritting his teeth. Yep, it sure as hell hurt. Dream let go of his hair, letting his head rest back onto the ground.
          "It's over for you guys. No more running Phil." Fear struck him as he realized his fate.
          "I can't go back! Please!" He begged, even if he didn't want to. Phil dug his fingers into the dirt, tears leaking from his eyes. Techno hung his head, shaking it.
         "I'm so sorry Phil...." He muttered, a choked sob escaping his lips. One that he thought he would never hear coming from Techno.
          "It's fine-" Phil was cut short, as his eyes rolled back and he passed out. Dream stepped back, surprised.
          "Bad... What happened?" He asked. The shadow demon looked just as concerned as him.
          "I don't know! That's not suppose to happen.....
           "Don't tell m e he d I  ed c.    M o.
