-Tommy's POV-

Slowly waking up, I heard the sound of rushing water. Where was I? I know I wasn't dead which means the poison wore off. Opening my eyes and sitting up, way to fast becuase I felt like I might lose my lunch, everything was bright and beautiful. There was a river nearby along with birch trees and a few beehives. I never knew this place was on the SMP. Most of what was nearby had been broken and destroyed.

"Your up... Took you long enough kid." Somebody chuckled, glancing over I saw someone with pink braided hair and a golden crown on his head He was wearing a red cape, a white royal looking T-shirt, and brown pants that were tucked into his tall grey boots. It took a moment before I realized who I was looking at. 

TechnoBlade

"T-techno?" Wow, I sounded so stupid saying this. What the frick?!

"Yep. The one and only. Been awhile since I've seen you Tommy hasn't it?" He had his usual monotone voice just like I remembered. How I missed my old friend.

"I just can't beleive it!" My eyes widened, Quickly I ran over and hugged him. He seemed more than willing to hug me back aswell. It was odd, I had thought everybody were their skins from the game? Instead he had nothing showing his skin was a pig at all. Not even a mask.

"It's great too see you. Very great to see someones face." 

"What do you mean, 'See someones face'?" This was odd, weren't the others here too?

"Oh, I've been on my own for the last..." He paused and counted his fingers. "Way to many years to count, but ik it was 15 years ago that I decided to go. I was supposed to look for a nether portal so we could get blaze powder. But when I found the fortress there were to many wither, so many that even I had to run. When I got back to the portal it brought me back to the community portal... Not the one that we built 2,500 blocks away from spawn-" Techno sounded solemn. I would feel the same if I was seperated from the only people I could see.

"Why didn't you go and find them again?" 

He sighed. "Even though i'm a human navigator... To many mobs spawn at night, that makes it harder to travel. And day's may be longer than nights but a lot of mobs spawn with armour. If they don't burn then you have a better risk of getting hurt." Turning towards me as we sat on the grass by the river, he sounded nervous. "Healing here isn't easy Tommy. You get shot by a arrow, Then you eat, right?"

I nodded. That's supposed to be how you regenerate your health.

"Wrong. You have to eat either a great amount. Use potions, which are very hard to make. Or you have to bandage your wound and wait for it to slowly regen one heart every five minutes." 

That sounds awful. Why is this game so broken?!

"Sounds like a dumb bug in the game." Mumbling under my breath a few cuss words after that.

"That's just it Tommy. This game is rigged. Rigged for us to lose! Even Dream is scared. I'm scared. There isn't anyway to win this game Tommy." He said something under his breath. I could only catch a little bit of what he said but, it still sent a chill down my spine.

Being hunted by him...

Before I could stop myself I asked. "By who?" He jumped a bit and looked away. Clearly he didn't want to talk about it but I needed answers.

"Techno...by who?" I pressed him, hoping he would break and tell me.

"I don't know what your talking about. Now let's go find your brother and the furry." Swiftly, Techno stood up. I cuaght a glimpse of something wooden strung across his back, hidden behind his cape. Now I was curious, what he was hiding?
