Ghostbur doesn't know how it happened, his sword being lodged into dream's skull, blood splattered onto his face and armor, mask falling away for the male to see the others split in half face. It was disgusting, but Ghost didn't seem bothered. He kicked the other off his sword, turning his attention back to his little brother, another teen holding a sword above his head as if he was ready to strike. Ranboo, it was Ranboo. His eyes were purple, the male's face looking blank as he stared down towards the cowering Tommy. That confused Bur, the man raising a brow as he sheathed his weapon to comfort his scared brother. They were on the outskirts of the newly formed crater, many others around the circular hole crying at the loss of the country. He ignored it though, opting to focus on Tommy instead.

He brought the raccoon hybrid into a hug, ignoring the tears and his struggles to get away. "It's ok Toms, c'mon it's me! Ghosty!" He seemed to calm some after that, breath becoming less ragged as he came back to reality. Violet, the dog that Tommy had claimed as his own, sat next to them, nuzzling into its owner trying to comfort the other as well. Tommy eventually snapped out of his panic attack, leaning into Ghostburs hug as they sat in needed silence. Ranboo still stood above them, sword over his head but still paused. Dream was still dead, his last life taking some time to take effect.

"Ghosty..." Bur let his fingers gently run through the younger's hair, something the whole family found soothed the raccoon teen.

"Shh, you don't need to talk. Let's meet the family at the meeting point, ok?" Bur looked back towards Ranboo, frowning as he looked over the hybrid. "And we're bringing a friend." Tommy paused, frowning as his eyes creased as he tried to understand what the older meant.

"Huh?"

Philza couldn't help the surprised expression on his face when Ghostbur and Tommy came back with a purple-eyed Ranboo, Tommy's dog circling them as if trying to figure out what was happening itself. "What..." Wilbur started, looking more puzzled than both Techno and Philza looked.

"He's acting weird, I think Dream did something to him." Philza looked the other over again, lips tightening into a thin line as he nodded.

"I see, we'll help him when we get home." The father declared, withs fluffing as he walked closer to a more than usual distant-looking Tommy. He touched the teen's cheek, his cloudy blue eyes looking towards Philza. Phil smiled, even if the raccoon hybrid could never see it. "Hey Toms, you ok?" A slow nod was his answer. Philza brought his youngest into a hug, letting the teen cling onto him as he did. He knew the younger wasn't ok, he also knew he would speak when he was ready to. "Let's go home, yeah?" Another nod. "Okay, then let's go."

Two Days Later. . .

Ranboo woke up slowly, head dizzy and eyesight fuzzy. He looked around slowly, trying to take in the area around him. It wasn't the cell, and it definitely was not his own bedroom. He sat up slowly, hand rubbing at his aching head as he did so. He blinked his eyes, letting them focus on the room around him as he tried to figure out where he was. The door squeaked open, Ranboo's red and green eyes looking over quickly to catch Technoblade walking in. He looked towards Ranboo with a glare, food in his hand and others closing the wooden door behind him. "Dad said you'd be waking up." The piglin hybrid made his way towards the other, setting the plate down into the other hybrids' waiting hands.

"What... happened?" Technoblade shrugged.

"Not sure, we were bombing L'manburg when Ghostbur brought you back to us. Your eyes were purple, so we knew something was wrong." The pinkette sat down. "We heard about Dream kidnapping you, so our conclusion was that that whole... the eye thing had something to do with it." His blue eyes looked towards Ranboo's mismatched ones. "Dad somehow knew what was happening, and made a potion to stop whatever was happening. He said it's permanent, so you won't have to deal with whatever it is again." Ranboo smiled at that, grateful that Philza would do something so kind for him. Especially after he tried to kill his son. "He said that after you wake up you're good to go. Tubbo will be waiting, after all, he was the most worried out of everyone when you disappeared." The ender hybrid nodded.

"Thank you." Technoblade gave his own half-smile as he stood.

"Once you finish your food, you're free to leave anytime you want, but I would leave before it turns dark. Don't want the monsters chasing you around while you try to get home, right?" The half and half chuckled at that.

"Yeah, I'll be out of your hair as soon as I finish." Technoblade hummed, making his way to the door to leave. When he did, Ranboo looked down towards his plate, grateful by his family's hospitality, and happy to be free from Dream. He's sure the man is still out there, ready to strike anytime. And for that, he needed to hurry home so they could make a plan.

That Night. . .

He had left as soon as he finished, giving thanks to the family one more time before making his way back home. He knew his way back from his first hike here, how he remembered not even he knew. It didn't take long to get back, and when he did he realized just how much damage the family that had saved him did. L'manburg was gone, smoking and small camps surrounding the huge hole. He walked further into the camps, red and green eyes searching for one person in particular. Eventually, he saw him, Tubbo. He was with Fundy, Niki, who looked severely injured, Quackity, and Sam. They seemed like they were discussing something, all five looking serious as they spoke. He walked closer, and finally someone noticed him. Quackity looked surprised when their eyes met.

"Ranboo?" All of them looked towards where Quackity was looking when he said that, all looking relieved to see the ender hybrid. Tubbo ran up to him, engulfing the taller into a much-needed hug. Ranboo couldn't help the huge smile taking over his face as he held the other back.

"I'm so happy you're okay..." Tubbo whispered out, his hug growing a little tighter before he backed away some. Ranboo looked around once again before asking a question he had since he saw the crater.

"What happened?"

Tubbo explained the battle, some of the others helping the goat hybrid as the story went on. Ranboo couldn't believe what he was hearing, how the Minecraft family had decimated their whole country so successfully. "So, what happened to you?" Sam asked. It seemed they all were curious to see what he would say, maybe even a little frightened.

"Uh, dream kidnapped me... and then I was in a cell for a while... and then nothing." Tubbo sighed.

"We need to get rid of Dream." Fundy grumbled, crossing his arms.

"Agreed."

"But how?" Quackity asked. "How can we get rid of him?"

"He had a prison in the making." Sam said, his green eyes narrowing as he thought. "I was helping him build it... I can finish it up, and we can stick him into it."

"Yeah? How are we going to get him into the prison?" Fundy glared towards the creeper hybrid.

"We'll force him to comply, if we all go against him, just him, he'll be forced to listen." Tubbo smiled as he spoke.

"It's our best bet." Niki softly spoke, brown eyes looking cloudy. "We need to try." And so, they had a plan. One they hoped would work.

"Tommy, are you ready to go?" Technoblade yelled out. Tommy slung his bag over his shoulder, smiling as he ruffled Violet's head.

"Yeah, I'm coming!" It was the end of Dream SMP for him. He was ready to put it all behind himself, ready to carry onto different adventures with his family. The family that he wanted. He ran out of his room, stopping at where he knew the ladder that led downstairs was, and climbed down before making his way through the living room that held so many memories. It was the cabin that rebuilt the broken family's bond, one that all five would never forget. It was a place they needed to leave behind though. Tommy opened the door just as Techno's footsteps entered the living room himself.

"I'm gonna miss this place." Technoblade says, almost with a sad smile in his words. Tommy smiled himself, turning the knob to the door.

"Yeah, this cabin did a lot for us, huh?" walking out, they heard more dogs. There were five dogs that lived through the battle other than Violet, all with collars and names. They were coming with them to their new home. Philza had opened a portal for them all to leave the server, something they were all willing to do. It was something they all needed.

"Ready?" Ghosty wrapped the other into a side hug, Wilbur walking up to the other two siblings probably with a huge smile.

"Onto a new adventure, ay?" Yes, the next adventure. They were done with this SMP, it was time to look forwards to the future, the future they can and will have.

"Onto a new adventure."
