the sound of metal clashing upon metal filled the training ground as knights were training, some were sharpening their tools, some were testing out new fighting techniques, some were training their powers, around the grounds laid broken swords and snapped arrows.

dream and tommy watched as their knights from their own respective kingdoms mixed to train, forming a formidable bond.

tommy beamed proudly when he saw tubbo using his telekinesis to assist awesam in moving his heavy inventions. on the other side of the training field, quackity joined antfrost and skeppy as they trained, quackity summoned rock boulders as antfrost summoned ice spikes and sent them flying towards the boulders, shattering them into pieces leaving skeppy to conjure strikes of lightning to blast debris to dust.

dream turned his head to spot ranboo, alyssa, and callahan at the spymasters training field, dream watched in amusement as ranboo teleported around the dummies as an invincible alyssa snuck around as callahan shifted into a bug to pass a keyhole.

'i guess king wilbur's suggestion of working together isn't so bad after all.' dream said as he walked beside tommy, 'as much as i hate agreeing with you, i will admit that this isn't so bad.' tommy says as he fastened his pace.

the two entered a remote part of the training ground with sets of armour hanging off the walls as iron swords laid scattered across the ground, dream watched as tommy stopped in his path as he turned around to face dream.

'why did you bring me here?' dream asked, his voice laced with suspicion.

tommy scowled before bending down to grab a wooden sword, 'a while before all this war stuff, i'd take my squad here to train..' tommy paused. dream watched as tommy stood abruptly before tossing him a sword to which dream caught with ease.

'we'd come here to bond, you know.. to watch the sunset after training and whatnot.' tommy continued as he circled dream and began removing his armour, gesturing at dream to do the same. 'since we are going to be working together more often, i'd say let's have a spar, i'd like to test out a new tactic, might as well kick your butt while im at it.' tommy said confidently as he stepped back from dream who finished removing his armour.

dream smirked as he readjusted his mask (force of habit lol), 'very well then. come at me with your best, general.' dream chuckled as he stood in a ready stance.

'with pleasure.' tommy said as he lunged at dream, swinging at him. dream sidestepped and blocked tommy's attacks with ease. focusing on tommy's attack patterns, dream noticed an opening and swung at tommy, forcing tommy to leap backwards. dream smirked as he advanced at tommy, swinging relentlessly at him.

each of dream's swings was precise and fast, barely giving tommy time to think about his next move. tommy gritted his teeth as he ducked under each of dream's swings before he saw an opportunity and took it. as dream swung his sword down, tommy kicked dream in the chest causing him to stumble backwards, the wind knocked out of him.

'huff.. not bad...' dream muttered as he shook his head.

tommy's eyes widened as he watched dream's mask start to glow a lime tint. in dream's hand, he summoned a long black sword made of pure netherite, 'enough of this child's play.' dream said as he tossed aside his wooden sword.

tommy looked on in disbelief as he hesitantly reached for an iron sword laid on the ground beside him, 'dude, that's not fair! you just summoned your strongest sword!' tommy yelled in protest.

dream smirked as he laughed, 'tommy, all is fair in war!' dream bellowed before lunging at tommy.

dream slashed his sword down as tommy quickly duck and leapt backwards, barely missing tommy by an inch, 'you think your enemies will go easy on you?!' dream yelled as he lunged at tommy again.

tommy blocked his attacks as dream kept advancing, 'come, general. SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT!' dream mocked as he kicked tommy's sword out of his hand before giving tommy a blow to his head.

tommy gasped as he fell to the ground hard, pain coursing through his body, blood now dripping from his head. tommy glared at dream as dream loomed over him, 'is this all you've got to offer?' dream teased.

to his surprise, dream eyes widened as tommy stood abruptly as he grabbed his iron sword and punched dream, sending him stumbling backwards. now! tommy thought to himself as he jumped over dream and aimed to strike his back.

this is it! im going to finally beat hi-

tommy thoughts were interrupted by dream who turned and slashed his sword down, slashing apart tommy's iron sword in half with ease, his sword grazed against tommy's chest, leaving a tear in his tunic and a small wound.

sharp, stabbing pain filled tommy as he rolled out of the way, attempting to get away from the line of fire, tommy watched as his tunic started to soak blood.

'get up and finish the job, general.' dream said sternly, 'was that your new tactic? seems pretty amateur.' dream mocked as he raised his hands in amusement.

tommy scrunched his eyebrows as he clasped his chest, he read my moves so easily... tommy thought as anger filled him, he felt so defeated and weak. looking up to face dream, he gritted his teeth, for l'manberg.. he thought.

'dream...' tommy said shakily as he stood, 'i mean this in the nicest way possible...', dream tilted his head and observed as tommy's eyes began to glow red, i think im screwed but lets see what his war aura can do... dream thought.

tommy gripped his sword tightly, 'you messed up.' tommy said as he lunged at dream with such speed that dream didn't have time to react. tommy punched dream in the back causing him to fall forwards, dream caught himself and did a flip, landing on his feet.

in the blink of an eye, tommy appeared beside dream as he did a kickflip, kicking at the side of dream's face, his kick sent dream falling backwards as pain flared him, a long crack stretched across his mask.

dream groaned as he sat up slowly, dream watched in disbelief as tommy loomed over him as he pointed his sword at dream's throat, 'i win.' tommy said as his eyes turned back to sky blue. dream scoffed as he shakily straightened his mask, 'only cause i let you.' dream replied.

tommy raised his eyebrow as he lowered his sword before extending his hand out to dream as he pulled dream up. tommy watched as dream straightened his tunic, 'tommy, one more thing.' dream said as he faced tommy.

'wha-'

dream kicked tommy's feet causing him to fall backwards.

'what the hel-' tommy shouted but was cut off by dream pointing his sword at tommy's throat.

'never let your guard down. oh, your dead now.' dream teased. tommy stared in disbelief as dream returned the favour and helped him up, tommy glared at dream before dusting himself off.

'now we're even.' dream teased. dream watched as tommy cursed before walking over to dream and giving dream a blow to his abdomen, dream groaned as he doubled over before glaring at tommy, dream opened his mouth to yell but was cut off by tommy, 'that was for eret.' tommy interrupted as he rubbed his fist. dream calmed down and tilted his head, 'ok.. i guess i deserved that punch.' dream admitted as he straightened himself.

out of the corner of his eye, dream spotted tommy groaning in pain as he doubled over, clutching his chest. dream sighed as he walked up to tommy, he swung one of tommy's arm over him as he supported tommy.

'what? no, let go of me!' tommy said to dream as he struggled out of dream's grip.

'stop struggling. your war aura doesn't come with painkillers. stop acting stupid and let me get you to the infirmary.' dream said as he dragged a reluctant tommy to get his wound cleaned.
