Phil’s POV
“I’m heading out, don’t annoy Scott and Techno too much.” I told Tommy and Tubbo. I started flying away to start my journey. I want to find a new place and find a few new things that I need. I trust Scott and Techno to take care of Tommy and Tubbo (and Jack, but we will act as though he is an adult) but they are going to annoy them to death. Techno never really liked taking care of Tommy and Tubbo since they always begged for stuff and tried to spar him, but Scott has put up with Fundy so maybe he can last a few days.
Day 1
Nobody’s POV or 3rd Person POV
Tommy and Tubbo started scheming. They wanted to annoy Techno and Scott as much as possible to teach Phil to never leave them again. Their first plan was for Tubbo to just be himself around Techno and Tommy to try and walk with Scott. Tubbo’s personality annoyed Techno on its own and Tommy walked slow, which annoyed Scott since he was a fast walker.
Their plan worked halfway. Tubbo annoyed Techno to the point of him going to the nether to get him to leave him alone. But Scott learned if he offered Tommy candy he would speed up.
Tommy’s next plan was to go on one of his rants. Tubbo was to release bees into Techno’s room.
Neither worked.
“People need to stop calling me a chicken! I’m not a chicken, I’m an avian!” Tommy said. It had been nearly an hour and Tommy was nearly out of stuff to talk about.
”True, chickens do eat meat. You are an involuntary vegan.” Scott responded. He had been on his phone for most of Tommy’s rant but he had answered every thing Tommy said so he could keep talking. Tommy had planned for him to annoy Scott, not for him to actually enjoy talking to him.
Tommy laughed at the involuntary vegan comment. True, he physically couldn’t eat meat even if he tried. Tommy was having fun, surprisingly.
Another hour passed and Tubbo had joined Tommy’s rant.
The two now had buckets of cotton candy that Scott had stolen from Wilbur. Since Wilbur didn’t have anything better to do he talked with his brother and friends.
Their conversation lasted until the sun set. Tommy was the first one asleep, as he was not used to talking for so long and he was tired. Tubbo was out next, being a bee he couldn’t really stay up late at night. Wilbur and Scott didn’t fall asleep until much later, they both took Tommy and Tubbo to bed though.
Day 2
Tubbo was up first, he went to go wake Tommy up so they could plan more. He waved at Niki, who returned the gesture.
“Eh, Tommy! Wake up man!” Tubbo said, shaking his companion. Tommy was very reluctant to move, but he wanted Tubbo to shut it, so he rolled out of bed. Tubbo told him to get dressed and meet him outside the pub(e).
Tommy grabbed his regular clothes, a white shirt with red sleeves and black shorts. It was a decent day out, but too humid for Tommy’s liking.
”What do you need Tubbo?” Tommy asked, pushing his hair out of his eyes. He hadn’t had time to brush it, so it was kind of tangled and reluctant to move.
”I want to pull a prank on Techno. I found a marker, let’s go draw on his face!” Tubbo replied, excited. He started flying to Techno’s house, marker in hand. Tommy ran/flew after him. He had learned a difficult trick with his wings. He called it skitting, it’s when he got a decent speed before starting to jump and fly with his tiny wings. It went a lot faster than running but it took a lot of energy out of Tommy.
The two reached Techno’s house. Tubbo landed and Tommy nearly crashed. They snuck inside, trying to be as silent as possible. Techno was a very light sleeper, meaning they had to be incredibly quiet.
Tubbo started drawing on Techno’s face, being very careful. Tommy stood back, if someone was going to get blamed, it was gonna be Tubbo.
Tubbo finished the final drawing and the two creeped out, trying to hold in their laughter.
Once they got outside, they broke. Techno’s house was soundproof, so he wouldn’t wake up. So they laughed as hard and loud as they wanted, since Techno could no longer hear them.
That didn’t mean anyone couldn’t hear them.
”What are you two laughing about?” Scott asked. He had two cats following him, and one of Phil’s crows on his shoulder. Compared to Tommy, he looked much more awake despite getting less sleep.
”We-“ Tommy tried explaining but he was laughing to hard. The crow didn’t like loud noises, so it started flying away.
“We pranked Techno.” Tubbo said, holding up the marker.
”Was that really the best idea?” Scott asked.
”You sound like Phil.” Tommy commented, his laughing fit ending.
Scott didn’t reply. The crow landed back on his shoulder, it started talking to Tommy and Tubbo.
“I hope you two are doing well, please don’t prank Techno. You know how he gets. Anyway, I’ll be back in about a week. Sincerely, Phil.” It said. Phil could toggle his vision to his crows, which is what Tommy and Tubbo assumed he was doing. He could also use them to send messages.
”Maybe you two should listen to Phil’s advice. Anyway, Wilbur wants to see you Tommy.” Scott said. The crow flew away. Tommy started heading towards the pube(e) because that’s where he assumed Wil would be.
“Hey Tommy!” Wilbur said, waving to the teenager.
”What’s up Wil?” Tommy asked, walking over to his brother.
”Why do you have a cat followin’ you?” Wil asked, pointing the the small feline that had started wrapping itself around Tommy’s leg.
”It’s one of Scott’s cats. Didnt realize it was following me till now.” Tommy replied, picking up the orange tabby. It purred in Tommy’s arms, relaxing into his chest.
”Anyway, what did ya need me for Wil?” Tommy asked.
”Oh, I actually don’t remember….” Wilbur replied.
“Dumbass. Whatever, I’ll just go annoy Techno.” Tommy walked over to the edge of the pub(e). He jumped off, careful to not scare the cat. Tommy gently glided to the ground, the cat nearly asleep in his arms.
He landed, putting the cat on the ground. He heard a yell in the distance, Techno must have woken up.
Tommy headed over to Techno’s house.
Of course, Techno was outside and very angry. He hated pranks and the voices must have been getting louder.
Tubbo and Scott were also there. The cat Tommy had put on the ground that had been still following him ran away. Tubbo was silent, standing behind Scott. Scott had a cut on his face, presumably from Techno, who had a slightly bloody sword in hand.
“It was a prank Techno! Tubbo apologized!” He heard Scott say. Tommy got closer by hiding in the bushes.
“I don’t care if it was a prank, the voices want blood! And Tubbo is a perfect target!” Techno said, raising the sword. He wanted to hit Tubbo, but Scott didn’t move.
Tommy didn’t see much, as he had ducked behind the bush, but he did hear more yelling. He peaked over the bush to see Tubbo yelling, Techno’s sword more bloody and Scott with another gash on his face.
Tommy debated with himself in his mind whether to help or just keep hiding. He decided that the best plan of action was to sneak behind Techno and try to grab the sword.
So, he started moving along the line of bushes and trees. Trying to be as silent as possible but it didn’t really matter with all the yelling. Once he was behind Techno, he started moving out of the bushes. Tubbo looked at him but didn’t say anything. Tommy got right behind Techno, waited for him to put the sword by his side.
Once he did, Tommy grabbed it out of his hand. Techno hadn’t had the best grip on it since he wasn’t expecting anyone to try and grab it, so he just turned around to try and grab it back.
Tommy started skitting away, Techno on his tail. He heard Tubbo shouting behind them. A few seconds passed and he heard a massive *boom*. He didn’t turn to look at what had happened, he just kept going.
Techno had turned though. Tubbo took advantage of the situation and tackled Techno. Tubbo wasn’t expecting to stop him permanently, he just wanted to delay him so Tommy could get away.
As expected, Techno pushed Tubbo off him incredibly easily. But Tommy was long gone by now. Though, Techno did still have his hands. He could just satisfy the voices and break Tubbo’s nose.
He went to swing but his wrist was hit by a very well aimed firework. It was dulled, truly just for the impact and not an actual explosion, but it still hurt.
Techno winced in pain and Tubbo started flying away. He just flew up then started flying in the direction Tommy went.
Techno had gotten up now, his wrist starting to swell. Scott didn’t bother to say anything, he just used one of the small end crystals he could spawn to basically fly away.
“Techno really needs to get better at controlling himself. These are pretty decent injuries.” Wilbur said. He was helping Scott heal the cuts. He had cleaned the wounds already but there wasn’t really a bandage he could use. So he just tried to find a way to get the blood to stop.
”Sorry Scott. I didn’t know Techno would do that.” Tubbo said. He had already apologized but he really was sorry. He hadn’t meant for anyone to get hurt.
“It’s fine Tubbo. Just maybe don’t prank Techno again.” Scott replied.
“I think the bleeding has stopped for now. What kind of sword was Techno using?” Wilbur asked. He cleaned Scott’s wounds with water once more before putting all the med stuff away.
”Pretty sure it was iron. Might have been stone.” Tommy replied.
”Geeze. Techno is getting really good at sharpening sword.” Wilbur replied, putting the med kit back in its place.
Day 3
[An error has occurred Server resetting]
Popped up on everybody’s communicators before they started turning back to normal.
Tommy’s wings turned gray and broken. A ton of scars appeared all over his body, his hair became a mess and his bright blue eyes dulled. His clothes ripped aswell.
Tubbo’s blond hair turned brown and started creeping down towards his eyes. It covered them completely, restricting his vision. He also gained a lot of scars that were not there before. His wings disappeared and he grew small horns. His clothes ripped and thinned.
Wilbur turned visible and he was no longer ghostly. His hair now had a white streak and his eyes were red. He also gained a few scars but less than Tommy and not as severe as Tubbo. His yellow jacket changed to brown and leather.
Ranboo’s crown got taller and the purple gem disappeared. Half of his black skin turned white and he gained a few scars, much less than everyone else. His royal clothing turned into a suit that was slightly ripped. He grew very small wings that were mostly there as accessories since he couldn’t fly with them, nor slow fall.
Scott’s hair and eyes turned light blue. The stars disappeared and his arms and legs were back to normal. Quite a few scars appeared. He gained a flower crown and lava looking flowers appeared on his arms like bracelets. Wings like Philza’s appeared on his back, but they were white instead of gray.
With Phil
“What the hell?!” He yelled. Phil’s wings were now ripped and he could no longer fly. He was plummeting to the ground, which luckily was water. He fell into the water and since it was pretty shallow, hit the bottom. He yelled but since he was underwater, nothing could be heard.
Phil stood up in the water. It was chest deep, which was decent because Phil didn’t feel like swimming. He started slowly walking towards the island that he had nearly landed on.
Back with the others
“Wilbur stop!” Ranboo yelled. Wilbur’s first instinct was to attack Techno who had just entered the pub(e). He had a sword in hand and currently was being held back by Tommy and Tubbo. Ranboo was trying to talk to him, Techno was just standing in shock at what had happened and Scott, like what had happened with Tubbo, was infront of Techno, protecting him.
”I can’t hold him much longer!” Tommy yelled. Just then, he let Wilbur go. Tubbo couldn’t hold him on his own so he let go too. Ranboo jumped to the side. Techno backed up, expecting Scott to move. But he didn’t.
“Move.” Wilbur said, slightly lowering his sword.
”Wilbur, this isn’t the Dream Smp. You’re not a villian.” Scott said. Wilbur was calmed by this, he was angered. He raised the sword again and swung.
It bounced off of Scott’s wings, not even scratching them. Wilbur raised the sword again, going to swing again. The sword kept bouncing off Scott’s wing’s, doing nothing except dulling the sword.
Wilbur realized he wasn’t doing anything. So, he went for Ranboo instead.
He was about to hit Ranboo with the sword when his arms was grabbed, stopping him. Tubbo was the one who had grabbed him. Wilbur tried pull his arm from Tubbo’s grasp but the sword was now out of his hand, so there was not much of a point.
Tubbo let go of Wilbur and moved, making sure he wouldn’t get punched.
Wilbur and Techno were both being held back. Jack was holding back Techno and, once again, Tommy and Tubbo were holding back Wilbur.
”Let me kill him! He isn’t a god! He can die!” Wilbur yelled, trying to get his arms out of the grasps of his brother and his friend.
Techno just struggled against Jack’s grasp, not saying anything.
Ranboo kept trying to talk, not being one for fighting. Tommy struggled to hold Wilbur back, Tubbo was using all his might to keep him away from Techno.
Wilbur kept yelling nonsense, still trying to get at Techno.
”Tommy, Tubbo, let go.” Scott said. He had grabbed Wilbur and was planning to fly him out of the pub.
Tommy, grateful, let go immediately. Tubbo was a little reluctant but he let go.
Scott flew out of the pub, Wilbur being held by the wrist.
”Let me down!” Wilbur yelled. Scott didn’t reply to him and just flew farther from the pub(e). He dropped Wilbur in a ravine, leaving him with nothing so it was going to take awhile for him to escape. Scott flew back to the pub(e), leaving Wilbur to his own device.
Techno was no longer being restrained. Everyone was annoyed with the server reset, nobody knew what to do.
Day 4
Philza had returned, Wilbur had escaped and everyone had new enemies. Philza and Tommy seemed to be a little weary around each other when they were messing around just a few days before. Tubbo and Jack seemed to hate each other. Wilbur just flat out hated everyone except Tommy.
Arguments and fights happened. Mostly involving Techno and Wilbur. Everyone was weary around each other, not knowing who to trust anymore. But, it got worse.
“George, I’m not going to try and find people.” Dream said. Him and George had gotten lost whilst trying to get out of prison. George had made a messed up portal and it teleported them far far away. Dream had destroyed it so Sam couldn’t follow them but now they had no way of getting back.
”Why not?! We need a way to get back!” George yelled back.
”You go find people! I’m not.” Dream said, stopping in his tracks. George kept walking, if Dream wasn’t coming that wasn’t his fault. He walked for a little bit before Dream caught up to him.
”Don’t walk away from me!”
”You told me you weren’t going to find people! I personally don’t want to be lost without food!”
The argued as the walked, before George hit a solid wall. Dream laughed at him but his laughing was subdued as soon as the two heard the door creak.
“Who the hell-“ Tommy started. He had walked out where he heard the noise. He stopped talking.
”Oh.” Was the only thing Tommy said.
”Hey Tommy! Nice to see you again, old friend.” Tommy moved away from Dream. He was scared. He didn’t want another Dsmp.
”I’m was never your friend.” He said, pulling out his sword.
“No need for that, Tommy.” Dream said, grabbing it from his hand. He held the sword but not in a way that would be threatening. Still, Tommy didn’t like this.
He debated yelling for someone. Tubbo, Ranboo, Scott, maybe even Phil. But Dream would kill him before he got help. So Tommy stood there and talked with the man who killed him before.
”What do you want?”
”I just wanted to escape, Tommy. But someone,” Dream said, pointing to George. “Had to mess up our escape route.” George rolled his eyes.
Tommy made up his mind.
If Dream was to kill him, he’d have to get through others. So, he yelled. No one’s name, just “help”. Really loud. His voice really carried and was good for a warning signal. Dream had not expected Tommy to try and get help, he didn’t really react. He just stood there.
Tubbo was the nearest and the first one over there, sword in hand.
”Dream?!” He yelled, dropping the sword.
”You little-“ Dream started, going to swing at Tommy or Tubbo, it was hard to tell. He may have been aiming for both.
He hit neither. Phil had found a way to fly with his wings. He had grabbed the blade of the sword when Dream swung down. His hand was bleeding quite a lot but Phil didn’t care, he had saved his son.
”Get away from my son!” He yelled. Phil pushed the sword away from him, nearly causing Dream to fall. A few others had come over to see who had yelled.
Techno was one of them. He hadn’t come to help Tommy, he just wanted to know what had happened. But, they had a common enemy currently.
Techno ran to Phil’s side and went in-front of him to swing his sword at Dream. He landed the hit. He swung a few more times before Dream was on the floor, a pool of blood around him. George had disappeared, only Dream had seen where he had went.
Techno wanted to swing again, kill Dream, but Phil said he had done enough.
”Where did George go, Dream?” Phil asked, kneeling next to the man on the ground. Dream spit out a bit of blood before answering.
”I don’t fucking know. Just-“ He had a coughing fit, not able to finish his sentence. The pool of blood was expanding at quite a rapid rate and no one was helping Dream. No one really wanted to. Except maybe George but he was nowhere to be seen. He had left Dream to deal with Techno on his own.
”Well, since your useless-“ Phil said, standing up. He moved back a little. “Techno, finish him off.”
Techno gratefully swung again. Straight at Dream’s head. He died nearly immediately, as Techno had stabbed straight through his head.
His body disappeared. He had respawned, most likely in the prison.
George’s POV
I left Dream’s side and while no one was looking, ran to the forest. I hid, trying to move slowly and silent. I wanted Techno dead. I heard a sword hit something. I looked over the bush I had hid behind. Blood of the ground, Techno and no Dream.
Shit. I grabbed my sword and planned to hide and if anyone found me, fight.
I saw Techno walk away. Great, now I couldn’t even kill him.
I probably should’ve ducked back behind the bush. Wilbur and someone else I didn’t recognize saw me. I ducked, hoping they might think it was a trick of the light. They didn’t.
Wilbur and the other person that had seen me started walking in my direction. I froze, I didn’t want to move because that would make too much noise but at this rate, they were going to find me any second.
They did.
”I found George!” Wilbur yelled. I didn’t move. But Wilbur grabbed my hair and pulled me out of the bush.
It hurt a lot and I tried to swing my sword at him but he just yanked it out my hand. Phil had come over here now.
”Hello, George.”
”Hello.” I responded, still trying to get out of Wilbur’s grip. The person I didn’t know now had my sword and was pointing it at me. I wasn’t exactly scared, I was used to being held a sword-point. But usually I have armor and a sword aswell.
“Why are you here.” The mysterious person asked.
“Listen I was only brought along. I don’t know why.” I responded. I knew Wilbur and Phil wouldn’t buy it but the mystery person might.
”Quite the liar.” They said. It was a white lie, but they could tell nearly instantly. Most people would have bought that.
“Whatever. Just spear him Scott.” Phil said, starting to walk away.
”Wait! Don’t kill me. Just, let me leave.” I begged. Wilbur laughed at me but I didn’t want to go the same way as Dream. And I didn’t know how ruthless this Scott person would be. By the looks of him, he had been in some sort of explosion. Probably not caused by him, because usually the person who makes the explosion isn’t that injured.
”Just kill him Scott. I’m getting tired of holdin’ him.” Wilbur said.
“Then let him go. I’ll talk to him on my own.” Scott replied. Wilbur let me go and headed over to join Phil.
”Can I have my sword back?” I asked, standing.
“No. Anyway, why have you come here?” They asked.
“I’ve already-“ I started to say.
”Your white lies are not an explanation.”
”Fine. I was helping Dream get out of prison. I doubt you know much about this.” I explained. I wonder if Dream had been caught by Sam yet.
“Don’t assume things, George. Anyway, how come Tommy yelled?” They asked. I ignored their question and tried to change the subject.
”I mean, I never saw you back at the Smp so I assumed you wouldn’t know much.”
”Answer the question.”
”He yelled because of Dream. Tommy’s not scared of me, Dream’s a different story.” I said. Scott handed me my sword.
”Don’t try anything just because you got your sword. But, I’d like to know how exactly you ended up here. Helping someone get out of prison if not a good explanation.”
I started explaining the messed up portal. I left out a few details, like how Dream had gotten in prison and our arguments but other than that, I explained what fully happened. Though, I wasn’t really paying much attention to what I was saying. I was fidgeting with my sword hilt and just not really wanting to be there.
“You don’t seem like the type of person to be a threat. I’ll make a deal with you. You can stay here, but you have to help me get materials to make a few withers.”
I agreed. Just because I helped Dream out of prison didn’t mean I exactly liked him. And if Dream had gotten caught, he’d definitely rat me out too.
Day 5
Nobody’s POV or 3rd person POV
George had gathered enough materials to make 4 withers. He had never enjoyed the nether but he didn’t exactly want to go back to the Dsmp for awhile. He didn’t know if the fact that he helped Dream escape would blow over very easily.
Scott said the four withers would be enough. He just needed netherite. George offered to help him but Scott said he could find netherite himself. So George would have to wait till nightfall to searched around. The origins land was pretty but George couldn’t really take it all in unless it was day, but he didn’t want to be caught.
A few hours passed and George had tried to avoid being spotted. He was doing surprisingly well, considering the people on the server. But he couldn’t last forever.
He had been exploring a bit during the daytime, away from the pub(e). George was just trying to find some food and maybe some iron for tool. Currently, all he had was his diamond sword. He did find a few bits of iron, enough to make a sword and just enough to make an iron armor set. When he was heading back to start smelting, he ran into Phil. He hid, but Phil had heard footsteps. Phil looked around for who had been walking around. George tried to not make a sound, but Phil found him anyway.
Phil dragged George back to Scott’s house, taking his sword and other tools he had. When Phil and George got there Scott wasn’t home, so Phil just kept a close eye on George as the waited for him to get back.
The sun set and Scott still hadn’t returned. Phil decided to just take him to jail for the night and try to get some sleep.
Day 6
An argument had started between Phil and Scott. Phil had tried to explain why keeping George here was a bad idea but Scott argued that letting him go back was a even worse idea.
The argument lasted awhile, both of them were incredibly stubborn and the argument may have gone on even longer if Ranboo hadn’t stepped in. He ended the argument by saying that George would say where this place was if he went back and they would have to deal with other Dsmp members.
Phil let George out of Prison, letting him explore and just live among them.
Scott had gotten his nether-star sword back, the mod somehow transferred over to origins. Whether Scott had implemented it or someone else had added it was unknown.
Some people didn’t like George. Especially Wilbur.
Wilbur and George were fighting. Swords clashing, harsh words being spat at each other. Wilbur was better skilled with a sword but George had armor, Wilbur didn’t.
They fought for quite awhile, before George fell. Wilbur had broken his chest plate and gotten a ton of good hits in.
”Have fun with Dream.” He said before slashing one last time. George respawned at the Dsmp.
Day 7
The origin server returned back to normal, everyone returning to their “normal” selves.
They lost their memory of what had happened when they had returned to normal. A lot of questions and wonders came up but they were never answered.
The server returned to completely normal within a hour, Fundy back to stealing, Tubbo back to terrorizing people, etc etc.
But the question was still unanswered
”Why is there a mask?”
