A/N: ran out of ideas for title names. I am uncreative •_•

TW/CW: alcohol. Mentions of getting dr*nk and almost dying to a heart attack. A lot of swearing, mentions of getting robbed, enderwalking (or at least my version of it). Let me know if I missed any.

(O!Schlatt's PoV)

(Around the same time skip that happen in the last chapter. The day before they went to the End)

I threw the pickaxe at this server's Wilbur but he simply moved his head to the side in order to dodge it.

I'm not the best of throws. I'm more of a smeller if you asked me.

But you all must be wondering why did I throw a pickaxe at Wilbur?

As DharrMan would say, 'so you see...'

"So not even a little bit of alcohol?" Wilbur asked.

"F*ck you! Last time I got drunk, I almost died from a heart attack!" I snapped.

I grabbed a cobblestone block and threw it at him again.

Wilbur knocked it out of the air with his own pickaxe.

This guy was seriously pissing me off.

"Geez and I had just the right type to celebrate in case this server's Schlatt came back. I thought I had to settle with just you but you end up being more stubborn than To- more stubborn than a mule," Wilbur sighed.

I rolled my eyes angrily.

Like I said, he was pissing me off.

Honestly why did he even want to help me with getting materials for fighting the dragon if all he's going to do is piss me off!

I have many questions???

Anyway...

I gathered up all the materials that we collected and placed it in my inventory.

"So I think we should meet up with the others. They're probably meeting up at the Targay or the Cat therapist desk," I murmured.

"Well what are we waiting for!" Wilbur gave me a grin but it kind of creeped me out due to the stapled skin.

Now I don't judge but something tells me that he might not be all what it seems.

Kind of sus if you ask me.

So turns out they were meeting up at the Cat therapist desk.

I saw Tubbo with this server's Ranboo and the purple hoodie boy who introduced himself as Purpled. The three of them were chatting.

"'I don't sell p*ssy." Pffft what a loser," Tommy wheezed.

He was making fun of the desk.

"Says the one who made it," Techno teased him.

"IT'S NOT F*CKING ME!" Tommy shouted.

"Well this server's you did so," Techno shrugged.

"SHUT THE F*CK UP!" Tommy continued to shout at Techno while Sam and Phil just watched.

"So from what I heard, we're basically a family?" Wilbur asked, making me flinch.

"Umm yeah...what's it to you f*cker," I grumbled.

"My, such language coming from a priest. Not very holy Father Fragrance," Wilbur grinned.

"Shut up," I groaned.

Why is he speaking in such a sophisticated manner?

It's annoying to me!

"So is everyone here?" Wilbur rose his voice so that everyone can hear him.

"I don't think so," Scott said, who was sitting on top of the cat head.

"I think we're just missing Foolish and Fundy," Sapnap muttered.

Those words were barely out of his mouth as a large shadow loomed over us.

"WHAT THE F*CK!?" Tommy jumped about five feet in the air and came floating down.

"Oh hey. It's a large man!" Charlie pointed.

"Foolish, stop messing around," Quackity sighed.

Speaking of Quackity, I should really hand him a block to smell.

Maybe some sand. He seemed to be the type to like sand blocks.

Anyway, back to present time, Foolish loomed over us and guess who was on top of his head.

That fox boy!

"I'M FINALLY TALLLL!" He screamed.

"He wanted to know what's it like being tall so how could I say no to him?" Foolish shrugged.

"Yeah even Tommy is taller and he hasn't gotten his growth spurt...yet," Tubbo turned to look at the blond.

Tommy flipped him off.

"Just you wait, I'll be a bigger man!" He said, puffing out his chest.

"Ok can Fundy get down from him? We need to come up with a game plan," Purpled said.

"Ugh fine!" Fundy jumped onto Foolish's back as Foolish shrunk to a regular human size.

He jumped off and sat there, next to him.

"We're so close in coming back home," Tubbo cheered.

"But isn't this your home?" Ranboo asked, confused.

"Boo, we talked about this. I'm a different Tubbo. You'll get yours back soon," Tubbo explained.

"O-oh, right sorry. I forgot," Ranboo muttered.

"Aaaaanyway back to what Tubs said, we're so close! We just now need to find a stronghold and find the End portal," Tommy said, pumping his fist in the air.

"Speaking of which, any luck?" Charlie asked.

"I-I told you. We have been trying and nothing seems to be working. I don't know how to...find the portal like your Ranboo," Ranboo explained, fiddling with his fingers.

"Have you tried finding quiet places to practice?" Scott asked and Ranboo nodded.

"I tried finding the most quiet and peaceful places and I try. I just can't do it," they replied.

"Don't be so pessimistic! You can do it!" Tubbo cheered.

"If they can't find it, we'll just have to do it the old fashion way," Wilbur shrugged.

"Old fashion way?" Charlie looked confused.

"Charlie, you are an adventurer. You traveled around the world and you don't even know how to find a stronghold the old fashion way?" I asked.

"No...Hey I never needed to go to the End!" Charlie said.

"Well except for that one time...," Techno trailed off before shrugged it off.

Ah yes. I forgot about that one time that we did needed to go, I thought.

"So we just find ender pearls, Blaze rods and what else?" Purpled listed off the things needed to make Eyes of Ender.

"How are we supposed to find blaze rods and ender pearls?" Sam asked.

Some of the DreamSMPers turned to look at Ranboo.

"Huh? Why are you all looking at me?" They asked.

"Don't you have a stash of rods and ender pearls tucked away somewhere in your chests?" Phil asked.

"Maybe...I don't remember," Ranboo replied.

"Well we have to find them and quickly! These guys need to get home and we need our versions of them back," Wilbur explained.

"O-ok!" Ranboo yelped.

"Ok so where are these stashes of rods and pearls are? Any guesses?" Fundy asked.

"I think I know where," Phil said.

"Oooh! Are you talking about that one place where I fell in a hole?" Tommy asked.

"What?" Techno asked, concerned.

"Yeah...that place. Tommy and I can go and get the rods and pearls. We're going to need them regardless whether Ranboo can seek out the portal," Phil explained.

"Ok!" Tubbo said while Ranboo's tail was shaking nervously.

(Sapnap's PoV)

I watched at Tommy and Phil left to go get the rods.

My hands gripped on my arms as I tried my best to not look at Quackity.

I did steal some glances to make sure he wasn't watching me.

He wasn't.

Scott cleared his throat.

"So Sapnap and I made a collection of chests where we can place our stuff there. It's not that far from here," he explained.

"Yeah...I'll show you the way," I turned my back and began to walk off.

I glanced over my shoulder to make sure that they were following.

They were.

We headed over to the Targay where the chests are.

Why that place? Well there wasn't many options to put the chests in and not many people knew of the situation that was going on.

I think we all silently agreed to not tell anyone else on the server that there are different versions of some of the people that we know.

And that George was missing and replace by a star guy.

So since nobody is using Targay, Scott and I figured that it's the best place to put our chests in.

"Ok here are the chests," I showed them a dusty corner where piles of chests were.

"Dibs on this one," Technoblade opened up one chest and began to dump his findings in it.

"No fair! I wanted that one!" Tubbo folded his arms and pouted.

"Suck it, child," Technoblade said.

"How dare you be disrespectful towards my son! Do you want me to do what I did in 1999 to you?!" Schlatt snapped.

"You can't do that to me. I never die!" Technoblade placed both hands on his hips, proudly.

"Just put your damn things in the chests," Fundy sighed as he opened another chests and placed his things in it.

Everyone placed their things in their chests and was just about to leave when Phil and Tommy showed up.

"We got tons of sh*t!" Tommy exclaimed loudly.

"Pipe down, Tommy," Quackity sighed.

Fundy and Technoblade glared at him.

"Ranboo how did you get the time to get some much sh*t! I think you're the richest person in this whole server and that's saying a lot?" Phil asked.

"Uhh...I have a lot of free time," they shrugged.

"The old man didn't allow me to touch anything but the pearls and rods. No fair," Tommy grumbled.

"Tommy you got to be sneaky when trying to steal things. What did Wil and I teach you?" Fundy shook his head in disappointment.

"Ah I see," Tommy nodded.

"Pfft no. Tommy, I don't think Ranboo would appreciate you stealing from him," Phil said but his tone sounded like he wanted to laugh.

"Yeah...," Ranboo said.

"But it wasn't going to be for me. It was going to be for this server's me. He's poor as f*ck!" Tommy cried.

"Doesn't he have full netherite armor?" Wilbur asked.

"He used to," Foolish turned to look at me.

"He tried to steal a house," I argued.

"Sapnap, I told you. Give Tommy back his armor. He has been through a lot of robberies," Phil sighed.

I rolled my eyes at this.

"Jack stole his hotel from him and now you took his armor. Yeah I agree with Phil, give it back to him," Sam said.

"Why are you all against me?" I asked, angrily, hands feeling hot.

"Ok ok! Enough of all this bickering. We need to come up with a game plan or else, nobody is going home!" Scott snapped.

The Origins went in shocked silent.

It seems like Scott barely gets angry.

Sparkles were flickering more fiercely around him as he said this.

"Y-yeah let's do that," Foolish agreed.

"First we have to make Eyes of Ender. Unless you want to make another try," Purpled turned to Ranboo.

"I-I can try," he said.

"Everyone be quiet! Let him concentrate!" Tubbo yelled.

Ranboo closed their eyes and held their hands out.

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

"It's not working!" They cried.

"Well guess it's up to the old fashion way," Quackity sighed in disappointment.

"I'm sorry I can't be much of a help!" Ranboo said.

"Maybe it's something that only royal Enderians can do. Meaning only our Ranboo can that," Charlie said.

"Maybe," Fundy shrugged.

"Hey, they tried their best. You never know unless you try," Tubbo said.

"Umm guys. I don't mean to be a downer but the sun is setting," Foolish pointed.

"Crap, he's right. Monsters come out at night so it will be more dangerous to search for it," Phil muttered.

"I'm sure we can take on a couple of zombies or so," Tommy boasted.

"No we can't," Technoblade said, resting his elbow on Tommy's head.

Tommy grumbled something under his breath that sounded like an angry chicken clucking.

"We'll start in the morning I guess," I said.

This turned out to be not as successful as I thought I would.

(O!Tubbo's PoV)

I tucked Micheal to sleep later that evening.

I had decided to sleep in the same house as my DreamSMP counterpart and my dad decided to come along.

He's currently downstairs, sleeping. I can hear him snore faintly from here.

Well it's off to bed, I thought but I felt something tug on my sleeve.

It was Micheal.

He looked sad as he looked up to me.

I slightly frown sadly.

While it has been on my mind for a while, I didn't think about it as much.

Mainly because I didn't want to.

I want to go home. That's a fact.

But...

That would mean that I would have to leave Micheal.

Of course, I would be an irresponsible parent but that doesn't I can't love the little one like he was my own.

Micheal has already gotten attached to both me and Dad.

He would be sad to see us leave.

"I know. I know. You don't want me to leave yet," I said.

Micheal made grabby hands at me and I picked him up and held him beside my hip.

"Bud, it's already late. You need your sleep," I murmured.

Micheal oinked sadly at this.

"How about this? I'll sing you a lullaby. That way, we'll stay up together a little longer and when I'm done, you'll go to sleep. Do we have a deal?" I asked.

Micheal seemed to think about this before nodding.

I sat down in one of the chairs and set Micheal on my lap while I think about a lullaby to sing to him.

Do someone ever sung a lullaby to me? I thought.

Ah yes!

The first night after getting adopted, my dad sung this lullaby to me to help me cope with my first night.

Now my dad may not seem that way and we don't talk about what happened in 1999 but under all those swearing, those smells and bow/gun fascination, he has a good heart.

So I decided to sing that lullaby to Micheal.

"It always feels so quiet in the dark
It always feels so stark
How silence grows under the moon
And it's always gone so soon

I used to think that I was bold
I used to think love was for fun
Now all my stories have been told
Except for one...

As the stars start to align
I hope you take it as a sign
That you will be okay
Everything will be okay

And if the seven hells collapse
Although the day will be my last
You will be okay
When I'm gone you'll be okay

The day that you've arrived the sun when black
An artificial night
You came and stole away the light
And put it in your eyes

How could I possibly suspect
That you'll eclipse the midnight sun
I thought that I knew all the moves
But then you pull me back to one

If the stars ever align
I hope you take it as a sign
That you'll be okay
Everything will be okay

And if the seven hells collapse
Although the day will be my last
You will be okay
When I'm gone you'll be okay

And if the heavens crash to ground
I know you'll hear the trumpets sound
And you'll be okay
Everything will be okay

And when creation goes to die
You can find me in the sky
Upon the last day
And you will be okay."

As I sung the last verse, I felt something heavy on my chest.

Micheal rested his head on my chest and he made some sleeping pig noises.

I softly patted his head before standing up to place him back to bed.

I tucked him and his teddy bear in.

"Good night...son," I muttered.

Thump!

My wings came out and I flew up, my face hitting the ceiling.

I silently screamed in pain.

Something activated my fight-or-flight senses.

I came down, only to see a shadowy figure going down the trap door.

I grabbed an iron sword and followed them down.

They walked past my dad, who was just sleeping peacefully.

They opened the door and stepped outside in the cold and blizzarding cold.

I sneakily followed them as they seem to sniff the air and began to trudge through the snow.

After what seemed like a while, they finally stopped and begun to dig down.

Wait no! Don't they know the first rule of this world!? Never dig straight down! They hit bedrock at best or lava at worst! I thought.

I ran over and dug down alongside them but not digging straight down.

They landed, not in a cave but in a stronghold.

Wait what? I thought.

They continue to walk even though there are mobs all over the place here and don't get me started on silverfish.

I had to carefully fight zombies and skeletons so they wouldn't hurt the shadowy figure.

Also run away from creepers. It's not worth fighting them.

The shadowy figure broke an iron door and placed a torch down before turning around and leaving.

What the hell? I thought and I entered in what the iron door was blocking.

It was an End portal.

They found a stronghold and the End portal but how?

And most importantly, who are they?

I immediately ran back to where the figure was but I accidentally bumped into them.

SH*T! I thought and try to fly off but they grabbed me and held me underneath their arm, next to their side.

Well sh*t. Time to write my will, I thought.

Or so I thought.

They walked back up to the surface and went back home.

I still couldn't see their face but I could see the clothes that they were wearing.

Ranboo's tux.

Ranboo? I thought.

He set me down in a bed and went to go to his own bed and lay there.

Apparently, Ranboo and this server's Tubbo also sleep in separate beds.

Like me and our server's Ranboo!

Hey get your heads out of the gutters! I see you! Yeah I'm breaking the fourth wall, fight me! We don't like being thought of in very not appropriate ways so erase whatever inappropriate thoughts you have!

Anyway! Guess we don't have to spend all day tomorrow, seeking out the stronghold!

That's a plus!

A/N: did I really use a Helluva Boss song in this? Yes I did. Was it necessary? Probably not but I make the rules here so...!

Hey I like that song ok. I like the second episode, the second episode is my favorite.

So close and yet so far. This book is almost close to being completed. Never thought I would get this far. I thought my other books would be done by this point but apparently not!

Tysm for 17k reads! Holy sh*t! You wisps really like reading this! You're all amazing!

Is it ok if I do a Q and A at the end? If so, leave some questions here and when this book ends, I'll answer them.

Cya in the next one -Flare
