CW/TW: injuries, death. Fighting scene poorly done

(Third Person PoV)

The first Wither appeared. People panicking and some rushed over to stop it.

The first Wither shot at the ground beneath the two boys, crumbling the ground which caused them both to fall.

Tommy was lucky enough to land on a small island of the ground that the Wither didn't destroyed.

Tubbo was not so lucky.

"Heeeelp!" He yelped and held his hand out.

Tommy hesitated and was debating on whether he should help Tubbo or not.

After all, he just had a little spat with him but...would it make him a bad person to not have Tubbo die?

Would that put him on par with Dream?

No!

Tubbo was falling and falling fast!

He doesn't have a water bucket on him! He's going to die!!

I don't want to die! Tubbo shut his eyes tight.

Then he felt someone grab onto the back of his shirt.

He opened his eyes and saw...

"TOMMY?!" He cried.

Tommy gently tossed Tubbo onto a safe platform and sat down, catching his breath.

If they fell from there, they won't take a lot of damage and die. It will hurt though for the both of them.

Welp the Wither decided that it wanted blood and it destroyed the platform that both boys were in.

Tubbo fell on his feet, which hurt enough for him to feel his ankle get sprained.

He saw a red blur and saw that Techno had saved Tommy from the fall.

"You alright, Thesus?" He asked and Tommy nodded.

"Come. We got arson to do," the two of them ran off.

Tubbo tried to reach out for them before falling onto his face.

"Tubbo!" Quackity ran up to him.

"My ankle...I think it's sprained," Tubbo murmured.

"Stay out of the fighting for now and rest up. I can take care of things from here," Quackity assured him.

"Don't let them destroy L'Manberg!" Tubbo yelled.

"I won't," Quackity ran off while Tubbo limped away to a safe space where he can rest.

Meanwhile under ground, Phil arrived at the cavern that they filled with TNT earlier.

He grabbed a flint and steel and held it close to him.

This was it. He heard the first Wither and heard that there were more popping up. Probably Techno.

Phil took a deep breath and set the nearest TNT on fire.

He ran like hello out of there and behind, he could hear the explosions going off one by one.

He couldn't get out fast enough and the force from the explosion pushed him forward onto a gravel wall.

"Sh*t!" Phil wheezed.

He felt some specks of gravel and scrambled out of there before heaps of gravel poured down like a hailstorm in the spot that he was in.

If he hadn't gotten out of there in the hurry that he did, Phil might have suffocated.

Phil took a couple of breaths to calm himself before running into another cavern filled with TNT.

This time, he made sure to find an escape route that wasn't just running blindly away.

Back up there, Techno was speed running Wither making and the Withers were causing massive damage.

Tommy was running alongside him and setting the buildings on fire.

Explosions were going off in unexpected places.

"There was TNT there?!" Someone cried.

Smoke was filling the air and the two of them ran to higher ground to not only escape the smoke but to also make more destruction.

Occasionally, they would see a neon green blur followed by explosions.

Looks like Dream is playing his part, Techno thought.

"TECHNOOOOOO!" Someone shouted.

"Oh sh*t that's Big Q," Tommy hissed.

"You go on ahead. I'll distract him," Techno said and ran off.

Tommy cursed under his breath before running off in the opposite direction.

Techno stood, high and proud above Quackity who was panting.

"You...better not run away...again," Quackity wheezed.

Techno grinned behind his pig mask.

"Oh I don't intend on running...not before L'Manberg is burned to a crisp! Along with its government!" He yelled and grabbed a whistle from his neck.

He blew on it and a piercing sound came out of it. Quackity barely flinched at the sound.

"Heh...what's that supposed to d-," he got cut off by the sounds of padding feet.

He turned around and oh god!

Packs and packs of dogs were running and they were attacking people that were near them.

Quackity turned back to face Techno, his face pale.

"You...are the work of the devil!" He yelled.

"Not the worse thing I was called," Techno said before running off.

"Damn it!" Quackity snapped but he didn't go off to chase him.

Instead, he attempted to put out the fires that Tommy and Dream started.

Meanwhile on a hill, a lone man with a blue sheep was watching the smoke rising higher and higher. Fires turning black and blocks were flying over because of the explosions.

"Look Friend, L'Manberg is falling down like London's Bridge," Ghostbur said.

Friend baahed in agreement.

"You can't be serious, Niki!" Someone shouted.

Ghostbur turned his head to see two people arguing.

"You're not going to help saving L'Manberg?" That same person asked.

"No...because it was never meant to be after all. It's no use. It seems like this will be the last burning of L'Manberg because it will never be repaired ever again," Niki explained while closing her eyes.

"But there could be something that you could do!" Ponk urged her.

Niki looked at his lemon tree, not responding to his question.

Then something popped up on their communications.

JackManifold was slained by wolf

Niki frowned at this message.

Her fingers danced upon the flint and steel in her inventory.

"Jack...is dead!" Ponk gasped.

Then he smelled the burning of lemons.

"NIKI NO!" He shouted but Niki was long gone.

Sorry Ponk. But it was the only way. I hope you'll understand one day, she thought as she was running to a safe spot.

Ghostbur was watching this whole thing.

"Niki is upset isn't she, Friend?" He asked his sheep.

Friend baahed again.

Phil popped up from the ground and his noise was hit by the burning of wood.

"L'Manberg is nearly gone. Great job," he said to no no in particular.

He pulled out his nearly broken flint and steel.

"I'll help them out as much as I can," he said and ran.

Tommy was continuing to set things on fire. He was on his third flint and steel.

This is turning out great! He thought, feeling a rush of adrenaline.

"Tommy stop!" Someone shouted which made Tommy trip.

He felt a pain in his eyes and tried to wipe them.

Something must have gotten in his eyes. It's annoying and sometimes painful when that happens.

He felt pain upon his cheek and immediately got up while balling his fists.

He couldn't see who attacked him. Man he wished he could!

Tommy was blindly trying to attack whoever attacked him but it was no use.

All he ever got was getting hurt in return.

Then he remembered what Phil told him in training.

"When people go temporarily blind, especially in a fight, they usually go for touch first. I'm not sure why but it might be instinct. It's a bad instinct since you end up hurting yourself more. Instead, trying hearing. It may be slow but it's very effective. If you concentrate enough, you'll be able to hear where your attacker is coming from."

Alright old man. Let's see if this works, Tommy thought.

He stopped and listened to see where his attackers would come from next.

...

There!

He swiftly moved to the side and heard someone face plant the ground. He also heard them swear under their breath.

Ok that's Fundy, Tommy thought.

He then heard someone lunged towards him, due to the stepping and them grunting, in which he also swiftly moved out of the way.

"Oi! Get off me!" Fundy shouted.

"I'm sorry geez!" The other person said. They suspiciously sounded like Sapnap.

Ok so Fundy and Sapnap attacked me....but who is trying to creep up behind me! Tommy thought and turned around to face his third attacker.

He got tackled down and Tommy decided to straight up punch his attacker in the face.

That surprised them so Tommy managed to get up.

He could faintly hear Fundy and Sapnap getting up and moving towards him.

He could also hear the rushing of water nearby.

He'll need to have perfect timing in order to do this. His hands made it up to his neck to order to find his bandanna.

He took large step backs as he attempted to untie his bandanna.

Tommy could faintly hear Sapnap counting down from five which meant that he only had five seconds to do this.

Five...

Four...

Three...

Two...

One...

Splash!

Tommy jumped.

"He's in the water!" HBomb exclaimed.

The third person was HBomb. He was honestly just there, hired by Fundy but no maid outfit.

Fundy is still scarred from that.

Tommy's bandanna was floating down slowly and it nearly hit the water before an arm shot up and grabbed it.

Tommy broke the surface and wiped his eyes on the dry bandanna.

He blinked once and then twice.

He can see again which was good.

He swam up to the bank and and set something on fire with his flint and steel.

At first, the three of them were confused until they saw the massive TNT chain and an entire side of a cobblestone wall exploded and a lot of things around it.

Tommy then ran off to find more stuff to blow up.

(Time skip)

At last...

Gone.

Gone forever.

No one will be able to repair L'Manberg now.

Techno looked at the destruction, satisfied.

His life long goal. Finally achieved!

He glanced at Phil, who was taking deep breath in and out, then glanced at Dream who had his expression hidden by his mask.

Techno then looked at Tommy who had an unreadable face.

There was some satisfaction in his eyes but there was something that Techno couldn't quite put his finger on.

Was it because of his fight with a longtime friend? Did he regret some of the things that he said to him?

Techno was on the verge of panic when he saw it all go down and he wouldn't be lying if he was relieved when Tommy rejected that chance of joining L'Manberg and joining him to destroy it.

But still...

Tubbo and Tommy were friends since they were little. Never leaving each other's side. ClingyDuo, known far and wide for their chaotic yet wholesome nature.

And now...

"Let's go home," Tommy suddenly spoke up.

"Hmm? Ok," Phil nodded.

"I'm off to make a new base for myself. Two months and how many days?" Dream asked.

"Three," I glared at him.

He backed off and left without saying another word.

"Hi!" Ghostbur appeared, tugging onto a lead that held Friend.

"Hey Ghostbur," Tommy slightly waved.

"Why is L'Manberg in ruins? Do you think Alivebur would be sad?" Ghostbur asked.

Techno and Tommy looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

"No...he wouldn't be sad. He would be ok with it so don't worry," Phil said suddenly.

"Phil?" Tommy asked. Phil was looking at the ground.

"Oh ok! Can we all have dinner now?" Ghostbur asked.

"Yeah...let's go home," Techno nodded.

Tommy was following pieces of his family back to Techno's house.

They weren't complete. Not yet at least. But Tommy was ok with that today. Maybe not yesterday and maybe not tomorrow but today he is ok.

Because today was a happy occasion to celebrate.

If he had to celebrate today with pieces of his family, Tommy is fine with that.

Maybe one day, his family would be complete again.

A/N: yeah! Just one more to go.

Cya in the next one -Flare
