A Glitch In The System

A Slight Problem (Dream POV)

 Dream's eyes fluttered open. The first thing he noticed was the grand, looming mansion towering over him. He could hardly comprehend the size of it as his eyes traveled over the intricate details and massive spires.

He groaned, sitting up. He was in unfamiliar territory, that was for sure. No one he knew would build a mansion that incredible, but his head pounded too much to wonder too much who did. He looked around, taking in his surroundings.

He was sitting near some sort of contraption, a farm of some sorts. All around him, people he recognized were still knocked out. He caught sight of Philza, Tommy, and Tubbo. Hearing a voice to his right, he glanced over.

"Who are you, where am I, and what happened?" Technoblade's deep voice rang clear. He was talking to an unthreatening group of three. One short blonde man in a red jumper, a man with a cyborg eye, a green t-shirt, and a brown vest, and a tall man with a moustache in a suit. One peculiar thing was that the trio all had wings, similar to Philza. Dream frowned. He had never seen anyone other than Phil with wings like that.

He had never seen any of the three before. The blonde one was cowering behind his taller friends, who were staring in silence at Technoblade. No one answered the pig hybrid's question.

Dream closed his eyes, trying to remember what happened. Images flashed across his mind as the story came back. He had been trying to glitch to Technoblade. The hybrid still owed him a favor, and he intended to hold Techno to it. But clearly, something had gone wrong. Now, somehow, along with Techno, Tommy and Tubbo and Philza were here in this new land with him.

But how had things gone wrong? And what? That never happened. Dream shook his head, rubbing his temples. As he did so, his fingers brushed across his cheek. He faltered. His mask was missing, leaving his face exposed.

Quickly, Dream stood, getting his footing easily. His sudden movement drew the attention of Technoblade and the three unknown people. "Dream!" Technoblade yelled furiously.

Dream walked over, keeping an eye out for his mask while simultaneously taking in the new people. They didn't seem threatening. Their postures were tense, but not ready to fight. More ready to run. "What is it, Technoblade?" Dream asked calmly, standing besides the pigman facing the trio.

"You have some explaining to do! Why are we here? Where is here?" Technoblade spat, turning to face Dream and paying the three others no mind.

"How about we introduce ourselves first?" Dream replied smoothly, casting a smirk at the others.

Techno grunted, muttering something before storming over to Philza. Dream watched him leave, then turned back to the new people. "Hello," he said, trying to make his voice friendly.

After a minute, the cyborg-eyed man, who seemed the most confident of the three, stepped forward. "Erm, hallo."

Dream smiled faintly at the way he said hello, with an 'ah' sound where the 'eh' sound should be. "My name is Dream. We're sorry to crash in on you like this."

Iskall blinked. "Oh, um, nice to meet you. My name's Iskall. This is Grian," he motioned to the smallest of the three. "And this is Mumbo," he said, pointing to the man in the suit. "Uh, nice to meet you?" The statement sounded more like a question.

"It's nice to meet you too," Dream said, projecting an air of confidence. "Would you mind telling me where, exactly, me and my..." he paused. Were the people he had arrived with his friends? "My acquaintances seemed to have landed?"

The man now known as Mumbo stepped up besides Iskall. "Who are you guys?" he asked, sounding a bit less scared.

"Well, I am the ruler of a land called the Dream SMP-" he was cut off by Technoblade arriving back by his side, with a now conscious Tommy, Tubbo, and Philza.
