"Little one?" Tommy looked up from his book, raising an eyebrow at the goddess that entered his chambers, it was still early morning, he was taking some time before having to be king.
"Yes mum?"
The goddess of death hesitated, looking at the boy king, before sighing
"I have a mission for you, its last minute but it's imperative that you go"
Tommy raised an eyebrow, placing his book down, signalling for Kristen to continue.
"Some people in the kingdom of Essempii are messing with forces they shouldn't be, I need you to figure out what it is and stop it"
Tommy tensed, he never wanted to go back, he liked it here, ruling the empire with Business bay, but, with a glance at Death herselfs face, any arguments died
"There is no one else who can do it, is there"
Kristen shook her head, sighing a bit
"I'm sorry you have to go do this, little one"
"Its okay mum, go tell Deo and the rest they are in charge while I'm gone, and notify Sally i'm going to be using the high speed soul sand path"
Death nodded, hesitating and looking back as Tommy prepared for the journey, pulling out the clothing that would conceal his features the most.
"Thank you, Thomas"
"Of course Mum, and tell Mother I said hi"
"Will do"
~
Tommy cursed under his breath, using the Hsssp tunnel he promised himself he would never use, but he had a mission. Sally swam beside him, the underwater queen wishing to visit her son.
The empire and Essempii were multiple days of travel apart, but the soul sand tunnel cut those days by more than half, the two departing mid day, it was Dawn of their second day when they saw land. Tommy slowed down a bit. He really didn't want to be there.
They reached the end, Tommy extending his wings to catch himself, and Sally just slid to a stop. After drying off, and Tommy lifting his hood and facemask, they made their way to L'manhole, searching for the people they were looking for. Mum didn't give him a description, she just said he will know when he sees them.
The two hybrids looked around for a little bit, before Sally gasped at something, and Tommy turned to see what she was looking for, freezing at what he saw
There stood Wilbur, Phil, Techno and Dream. And Tommy shook. No, that can't be true-
"Wilbur is supposed to be dead"
Sally said for him, watching her husband stumble around like a newborn calf after just being revived he assumed.
"This is what Mum ment" Timmy whispered back, before remembering what he was supposed to do "Stay here Sally, I would hate myself if you got hurt"
Sally slowly nodded, never glancing away from Wilbur's form. Tommy charged up, tail flicking to keep his fur flat as he began to build up electricity in his body, until it was physically dancing around him. Tommy seemed to glitch for a second before showing up in the middle of the ring of people, the only thing indicating he didn't teleport was a string of electricity he left in his wake. And he was quickly to turn around and decked Dream in the face, rumbling in satisfaction as he cracked that stupid smiley face mask.
The others shouted in surprise at the newcomer, and Wilbur threw himself at Tommy, steps uneasy. Tommy simply sidestepped and tripped the dead man walking, eyeing down Phil and Techno. They didn't like seeing their ally and son going down, and Phil charged, eyes widening when Tommy dodged, and pushed him, electricity crackling and sending the immortal into the wall
"Philza!" Techno shouted, and turned to face Tommy, who had produced a spear from somewhere. The piglin charged, similar to how Phil did, and before Tommy could dodge, he reached out and grabbed the King by his collar. Tommy wasn't having it, and he extended his wings flapping until he was airbound, before using momentum to flip them both, slamming techno into the glass under them.
Tommy then used the spear to keep techno in place, trapping the piglins shirt and cape under the sharpest point, and slamming them into the glass.
"Alright let's get this done" he whispered to himself, clearing his throat "Philza Minecraft, TechnoBlade, and Dream Wastaken, this is your official warning that you have violated rules of the natural order of life and death, yada yada, Death herself has sent me here to confiscate any items used to violate the rules, blah blah. Dont fucking do it again"
He could see the puzzled expression on Phil's face, and Tommy rolled his eyes. Right, Phil was technically his father through marriage. Tommy quickly sweeped the inventories of the three, looking for anything that would be used in a ceremony to bring someone back. And someone protested loudly
"Listen, I don't know who you fucking are but i know you dont have permission to go though out inventorys"
"Can it, green boy" Tommy hissed as he removed the blocks from his inventory, just to be a dick about it
"Fucking, XD!!"
Tommy groaned rolling his eyes with an exaggerated head roll "Oh my goooood your so annoying"
Though the god did show up, surveying the scene before it, Tommy gave it a peace sign as a greeting. He could hear the deities thoughts, without it even saying anything.
"Dream, why have you called me here"
"He!" Dream pointed an accusatory finger "Is going through our inventories! He's not supposed the be able to do that" Dream screeched
XD's head moved to look at the King
"Mum told me to"
The head tilted upwards as of saying 'ah' before turning and staring dream down
"What powers Lady death gives her reapers are not my own to control, i'm afraid there is nothing I can do" it turned to Tommy "Tell Clara and Kristen i said hi, and that I'm ready for a rematch whenever"
Tommy nodded, saluting as XD glitch away, much to the suffering of his poor ears because of Dreams screeching. Right, green man has escaped the vault.
"Fucking wonderful" he whispered, charging up again, feeling the stares, before he zipped away, finding the warden desperately trying to fix the prison, Tommy whistled at the crater in its side.
"The fuck did they do? Send an ender dragon?" Tommy asked, grimacing a bit "actually don't answer that"
Sam jumped down from where he was, growling as he stepped towards him, the hybrid was already pissed. Tommy chuckled nervously.
"This area is under construction, leave, or I'll make you" Sam threatened, producing [Wardens Mercy] from his inventory.
"Wild" was all Tommy could say, flipping out of the way as the creeper hybrid charged, skidding to a halt as Tommy did as well, pressing his wings against the ground to keep his balance.
"Listen man we could talk about this-Okay"
Tommy dodged as the hybrid threw the trident at him. Tommy jumped, flapping his wings to get more air as the trident zipped past, Sam cursing and shielding his eyes as his feather caught the light, shimmering and giving the illusion of a Phoenix.
He lowered himself after [Wardens Mercy] returned to its owner, and Tommy glitched, speeding forward to send an electrified punch at the warden, causing a startled gasp as he was flung back and tipped over, 4 legs scrambling to get himself upright.
Tommy wasn't finished, as he produced a chakram from his inventory, throwing it at Sam, hitting its target right as he righted himself.
Awesamdude was slain by Tommyinnit using [Stal]
Tommy hummed, catching [Stal] with practice ease. He knew this death wouldn't be too bad, just some chest pain for the next few months, as far as he remembered, Sam still had 3 lives. Now, it was 2.
He let out a shaky breath, and looked at the hill, where the revive group stood, stunned. They got Techno free, Wilbur using his spear to stand steady. Tommy lifted his hand, calling on the loyalty enchantment it had, the weapon obeying and returning to him, causing Wilbur to fall over with a shout.
Tommy placed the weapon in his inventory, smiling at its name. [Death's scythe], in honor of his Mum. He looked up again, charging up and zipping towards them. Causing Dream, who was about to start the walk towards him, to shout and fall on his ass. Tommy laughed so hard he couldn't breath. After a few minutes he stopped, wiping his eyes.
"Holy shit, you should have seen yourself"
"Tommy?"
Tommys smile fell, and he looked at Phil, then Wilbur, he reached up and pulled off his hood and mask, revealing fluffy blond hair with a white streak and his pale face, no thanks to living in the Arctic. Though Phil grew slightly angry, feathers puffing up
"Where did you get that?" the immortal hissed, and Tommy knew what he was talking about. Tommy lifted a hand, going to touch the tiara on his head
"Oh, Mumza gave it to me, Motherinnit gave me this" Tommy happily chirped, bringing out [Stal] "Watch this"
Tommy grabbed the chakram with both hands, then separated it, turning into [Mellohi] and [Cat] .
"It can go further but I usually only use it to this extent" Tommy put his weapon back together, chuckling at the faces of the people in front of him.
And then Dream screamed, Taking [Orphan Obliterator] and swinging. Tommy was about to try to fly but Dream was stopped by a bubbling jet stream hitting him, sending both the teletubby and the weapon flying. Tommy turned to Sally, who gave him a 2 finger salute and a nod.
"Thanks sis!"
"Of course!"
"Sally!?"
"Hi hon"
Tommy watched as Wilbur practically threw himself down the hill to get to his wife, smiling as the couple was reunited. Then turning, ready to fly. Stopping when a hand was placed on his shoulder
"Hold on, we are talking, what do you mean 'Mumza gave it to you' Why would Kristen give you her crown" Phil questioned, iron grip keeping Tommy still
"It means what it means. And she gave it to me as a coronation gift, something to wear while I'm out of the Empire" Tommy explained, turning around to face Techno and Phil.
"The Empire? What Empire?"
"The Antarctic empire, I'm sort of its King now? Of course i have Business bay helping me run the place, speaking of which, for being against tyrannical government yall did a good job picking a tyrant to run the empire, you two have no IDEA how long it took me to fix the fucking economy."
Tommy chuckled again, watching the two faces turn to horror, sending a few sparks to his shoulder, causing Phil to jump and let him go.
"I claimed i was your son, she backed me up, and took the throne as it was my 'birthright', it was kinda easy to be fair" Tommy answered the lingering question
"And the lightning? That couldn't come from running the empire" Techno asked
"Oh I was made with that, just didn't start using it until now" Tommy shrugged, charging up "Now if you excuse me, I have places to be and and people to see"
And he ran, making sure to step on Dream on his way out, appearing in Snowchester in record time. Cupping his hands around his mouth and yelling
"TUBBO!!"
Tommy waited, slowly shifting away his avian features, returning to just plain ol' raccooninnit. One of the Snowchester mansions windows open, the Nymph popping his head out of it
"Tommy?"
"AYYYEEEE TUBBO! Big T!"
"Big T!!!! Hold on I'll be right down"
Tubbo disappeared only to reappear a few seconds later at the doors of the mansion. Tommy smiled, opening his arms as Tubbo ran at him, only to double over in pain as his friend punched him in the gut.
"Where fucking where you!!! You just left!"
"I became king and reconnected with Business bay" Tommy wheezed out.
"I know that shithead!!"
Tubbo finally gathered Tommy in his arms, dragging him inside and onto one of the couches.
"Code S!" They heard from deeper in the mansion and Tubbo hummed, placing his hands on his hips.
"Hold on, I gotta go collect your nephew" Tommy nodded, producing a shulker box with items for the piglin. He had been meaning to send it back with Ranboo for a while, only remembering about it as he was rushing out the door.
Tubbo returned with the kid a few minutes later, placing him down and letting the boy run at him, squealing happily as he chanted 'Uncle Tommy!!!' Over and over again in piglin.
Tommy laughed, lifting the boy and spinning him around, much to the delight of Michael, and horror if Tubbo
"Tommy you're going to drop him!"
Tommy stopped, raising an eyebrow at Tubbo
"How irresponsible do you think i am? I run a kingdom now"
Tubbo made a few noises, trying and failing to come up with an argument
"Your over protective" Tommy concluded, placing the Piglin down and opening the box, smiling and how happy he was "what if i take him back to the Empire with me"
"I would skin you"
"He would make a good prince" Tommy continued, clipping a cape over the boys shoulders "Mumza and Motherinnit would love him"
"I still don't get how you got 2 goddesses to adopt you"
"I'm just cool like that"
Tommy and Tubbo smiled at each other, laughing as they did so. Tommy picked up Michael as his communicator buzzed, balancing the piglin on his hip as he read the message from Ranboo.
"Shit, tubbo we gotta cut this short"
"But you just got here"
"Do you want to join me in the empire?"
Tubbo looked conflicted, and another message came through. Tommy put down Michael, pocketing his communicator and pulling his mask and hood up
"Tubbo they know about the Hsssp, i need to get back to the empire, I'll get you a change of clothes if we go now "
Tubbo lowered his head,
"Fine but if Michael gets hurt I'm going to nuke your country"
Tommy smiled, ushering Michael into Tubbis arms, then hugging them both as he shifted into his avian form, charging up as he took the two outside
"Close your eyes," he instructed, looking down to make sure they followed. He lifted them to the sky, and with a boom! He used his lightning to fly them to the Hsssp, gagging a little bit at the speed. Too fast, Tommy nearly threw up his breakfast into a nearby bush.
He explained to Michael how the tunnel works, and that he will have to promise not to let go of their hands. Which the kid did. Tommy smiled
"Lets go"
~
Tommy toweled down Michael, removing the access water from the boy as Tubbo took a bath in one of the fancy bathing rooms in the castle. Helping the boy into royal clothes and a fluffy cape that threatened to incase the boy in fur.
"Oh he looks adorable Thomas!" Mother cooed, sprinkling the smallest bit of stardust into his face, causing the piglin to giggle
"Mum provided it"
"Kristen has great taste," his mother agreed.
They both looked at the door when tubbo came in, fixing the ruffles on his shirt, pausing when he saw the night goddess standing in front of him
"Oh, hullo ma'am" Tubbo glanced at Tommy, who laughed behind his hand, cackling as Michael waddled up, pointing to Clara.
"Ma! Dis Gramma" he exclaimed
"Uh, yeah"
Death herself chose that moment to walk in, causing Tubbo to pale, Michael to run up and hug her leg yelling out 'granna' and Tommy to full belly laugh at the situation.
Kristen smiled fondly at the boy, clearing her throat, switching to enderspeak, a language she taught Tommy so that he could give his report.
"How did it go? Your back earlier than expected"
"I didn't get there on time, but I did reprimand them, the teletubby tried to kill me. Oh and Techno and Phil discovered the Hsssp and i have a feeling they will be here in a few hours''
Kristen sighed, but let a smile on her face when she saw Michael again,
"Well, you should get ready for their arrival"
"Of course mum"
~
Tommy quietly did his paperwork, sipping some cider as he did. He just finished signing off a bill that would let them distribute clothing made by the local tribes to the rest of the world, giving most of the profit back to those very tribes, when the door was pushed open.
Tommy looked up, wings shuffling as he took into account who was in front of him. Tommy moved the table that was attached to his throne out of the way in order to lean back on his chair.
The syndicate stood in front of them, but Tommy narrowed his eyes, staring daggers into the very soul of Dream, who stood, tall and cocky.
"Evening gents" Tommy greeted, lifting a foot to place it on the stone arm of his throne, Phil flinched at the maneuver.
"I don't know if you knew but he" Tommy flicked his tail towards Dream "is considered public enemy #1 here, and is not to step foot in my kingdom"
He could feel Dreams glare, and only gave a toothy grin at the thought. He stayed perfectly calm as 2 sets of footsteps approached.
"On the contrary, I also believe you know a thriving kingdom when you see it, and know a king that cares about his people when you see one, there for there is no reason for the Syndicate to be here"
Tommy watched as they bounced on their heels, glancing at each other, knowing he had a point. They were doing this out of personal grudge. Phil's eyes widened when Lady Death and the Mother of the sky stepped into the throne room, stepping towards Tommy, going to stand by his side.
Tommy watched as The realm god, Dream XD popped into his throne room, its head surveying the area gaze landing on Kristen and Clara, nodding at them both. Tommy watched Dream puff out his chest, smug that he had a god on his side too.
"And one last thing, I'm pretty sure you guys aren't aware, but Dream seems to be wanting to keep Essempii under his rule and his rule alone, causing war and conflict, abusing children in all ways and committing crime you lot turn a blind eye to, i don't know why he's with you when he's got the god complex every king, queen and monarch you have all taken down has, and yet you still don't do anything about it, wonder why"
Tommy placed his head on his hand, watching as Dream froze. 'Checkmate, fool'. Tommy hummed. He blinked, and suddenly there was an axe lodged into Nikis' shield, a splash potion of slowness thrown at Phil and Techno, and a bucket of water chucked at Rambo, Dream taking the chance to run at Tommy. Unbeknownst to him, Tommy charged up, and in lightning fast movements launched off his throne, using the foot he put on the arm of it as a platform. He glided in front of Ranboo, using his wings to block most of the water.
The room was at a stand still as Dream slashed the pillow Tommy had been sitting on, Tommy whining about it being his favorite. But the old emperor's cowered
"Dream you idiot" Phil chuckled, terrified as the 3 gods in the room stared Dream down.
Then XD slowly lifted a hand to his head, blocking Dream from his vision, and the man in question looked around.
"Its like he didn't know what he did wrong" Tommy mused out loud, shaking his wings off, making sure the droplets of water did not hit Ranboo.
"Alright since we are civil, Dream, we will give you an option, because not only have you managed to piss off my Mother, you also pissed off Death herself. You can either accept your fate" Tommy nodded to Kristen "or you can go home and prepare for an all out war"
Everyone paused, waiting for Dreams reaction
"You cant kill me" Dream wheezed, standing and extending his arms "I'm a demigod"
"So am i your not special"
"I also don't think it works like that"
"It doesn't"
They all turned as Lady Death walked forward, placing a hand on his shoulder, relaxing. Dream tried to pull himself away from her grasp, but stopped, terrified. Tommy and Phil knew what was happening to him, Wither effect.
They watched as Dreams physical form crumbled and turned to dust, replaced by the blue of a ghost, and Kristen slowly dragged Dream backwards, into a black spiraling portal
"The field of remembrance is quite pretty!" Tommy called, turning his attention to the pile of dust that was Dream's physical form on the floor, disappointed his carpet was ruined.
"I think that is my que to leave, I must prepare the next Dream for their ascension into being the next protector" XD mused, going to glitch away "Young king, you are invited"
Tommy nodded his thanks as he returned to the throne, stepping over the ash that he would have to ask to get cleaned out later
"Now, are we done here?"
The syndicate glanced at each other, before nodding at the king
"Wonderfull, you lot know where the Hsssp is, and Ranbow, Tubs and big M are here, take this as free vacation"
Ranboo looked surprised, letting out a little 'oh!' The others left. Tommy smiled, it was a good day to be king
Later Ranboo cooed at Michaels winter outfit, and then promptly almost died when he heard him call Clara Gramma
