~Cursing and gore warning~

Everything was on fire, everything was destroyed, everyone but Tommy, Tubbo, Ranboo and Dream were still standing with any sort of serious injuries. Tubbo and Tommy having the worst injuries of the four with Ranboo standing infront of the two individuals, sword drawn. Everyone else on the Dream smp were on the floor, all covered in cuts and bruises, large gashes dripping with blood from most of them, all of them still conscious and looking at the fight, some sort of concern in all of their eyes.

Rain fell, as if it couldn't get any worse. The rain slowly put out small fires and washed away the blood stains on people skin and wounds. The rain made Ranboo wince slightly, he didn't like water but it took a lot of water to kill him, but that didn't mean he couldn't feel the water burning off small parts of his skin. It stung but he ignored it, his main focus on Dream.

Dream stood there infront of Ranboo, a few feet away from him with his sword drawn. His mask had broken a bit from the fighting, the bottom of his mask was broken to reveal his mouth, a crazy and sadistic smile twisted into his chapped lips.

Ranboo stepped back a bit, uncomfortable with the energy the green hooded male gave off.

Dream spoke. "Why do you kids never stop? You need to stop acting like children because this is the real world, you'll never survive if you don't grow up faster." Dream chortled, his menacing grin only growing in size.

Ranboo stayed silent, choosing to ignore the mans attempt at angering him. He instead just stood there, right grip on his sword handle, ready to block or strike the masked man infront of him.

"What? Too scared to talk? Too scared to admit I'm right? There is only one way to survive this world, and that is to fight. Fighting is the only way anyone will survive out here. Making childish decisions won't get anyone anywhere. Throwing tantrums over a couple discs won't get anyone anywhere. But here we are, fighting for some damn discs like two toddlers fighting over a toy." Dream taunted, raising a brow under his mask.

Ranboo gritted his teeth, his gaze turning into a hard and deathly glare. The hybrids tail flicking behind him in annoyance. Dream was just trying to get a reaction out of him. He had played this game before and he wasn't about to fall into that trap that Dream had set. It would only fuel his rage and that wasn't a good thing.

Dream continued, "Why so silent Ranboo? Am I getting under your skin?" He asked in a mocking tone.

Ranboos glare hardened, if looks could kill, Dream would be dead on the floor. The hybrid shook his head focusing back on the sadistic figure infront of him. Tail flicking harshly behind him, seemingly representing what Ranboo wanted to do to a certain individual.

"I guess I am with the look on your face. You know Ranboo.... you really shouldn't have gotten involved in all this, a child such as yourself should've just stayed home. Your young and naive minds are only making the flames of war grow, don't you see that?" Dream asked, taking a threatening step closer to the tall hybrid.

Everyone on the floor looked at the two, most eyes staring at Ranboo, concern on their features.

Ranboo stood firm, the grip on his handle tightening with every word spat from the mans mouth. The tall boy didn't know how to respond to the mans words, opting to stay silent. If he wanted to say anything, he was going to get it out of his system at some point if the man kept his act up as it was slowly edging the boys patience closer to an imaginary cliff, a thread to keep his patience from breaking. One cut from a pair of scissors was all it took for Ranboo to lose it.

"You scared Ranboo? You want to run away like the little kid you are? Face it, you're just a child, you can't do anything..." Dream sneered, a threatening tone in his voice.

Ranboo bubbled with rage. You could literally hear the thread get cut.

"You're right! We are kids. WE SHOULDN'T EVEN BE DOING THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!! WE ARE KIDS, WE SHOULDN'T BE AT WAR AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE!!!!! WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT DYING, OR THE FEAR OF NOT HAVING ENOUGH TIME!!! YET, HERE WE ARE, FIGHTING FOR FREEDOM!!! TOMMY AND TUBBO HAVE BEEN THROUGH MULTIPLE WARS AND THEY'RE YOUNGER THAN ME!!!! I'M FUCKING SICK OF IT!!!!" Ranboo yelled, his voice raising in volume the more he talked.

Everyone was silent, they had never heard Ranboo yell before nor swear. Guilt washed over all of them as they stared at the angered enderman hybrid as well as the two individuals behind him, looking at him bewildered.

"Ranboo I-I-" Niki spoke before getting cut off.

"Don't. I don't want to hear it, you had your chances. I thinks it's time we go..." the hybrid muttered, shieving his sword and walking to the two behind him, gently placing his hands of each of their shoulders before disappearing in a wisp of purple, no trace of them ever being there.

All the people of the Dream smp looked at each other, sorrow and shame on their faces. But it all quickly got replaced with determination. The people with not so bad injuries stood up, drawing their swords.

"Ranboos right, they shouldn't had to go through all that. So let's make it right and get rid of the source of the wars." Sapnap spoke, a flicker of determination in his eyes as he stared Dream down.

"Let's do the right thing and actually create peace"

~~~~~~~~~~time skip 5 years~~~~~~~~

It's been five long years since Ranboo teleported the three boys, including himself, away from the fighting.

They had been living in a cabin in a dark oak forest. It wasn't much but it helped them live peacefully. The three boys swore up and down they would go back to L'manburg once they had got over their fears and traumas.

The three boys had changed a lot. Ranboo had gotten taller, his head reached the start of the little cabins roof which was fairly high and got a bit stronger as well to the point he could carry a few logs over his shoulder, he hadn't changed his clothes as he saw they represented something great. He still wore his white long-sleeved shirt, although it was a tight fit now. Tommy had gotten a bit taller and was no longer that skinny but hadn't changed much other than that, he still wore his signature shirt because that still fit like a glove. Tubbo had gotten taller and stronger like the two other boys and altered his appearance slightly, he now had a long sleeved shirt other than his short sleeved but that's all that changed.

They had been mustering up the courage to teleport back to L'manburg, it probably changed a lot from the last time they were there. But that didn't bother them too much. They just hoped everyone was alive and well. They all felt bad for leaving them in the middle of a fight but it was sort of in the heat of the moment.

Ranboo stood in the middle of Tubbo and Tommy, sending them both a glance.

"You two ready?" Ranboo asked, looking at the smaller boys.

"...ready as we'll ever be" Tommy responded, staring up at the tall hybrid.

Ranboo grinned at him, before closing his eyes and teleporting them to L'manburg. It was all fixed. There people there the three didn't recognize but none of them seemed fazed by the sudden appearance of the three boys.

They all looked at eachother and decided to walk around the re-built nation as they were curious what had been changed and what had stayed the same.

That day was one of the best of their lives.
