Reincarnation

4

The fighting started, Tommy wasn't facing more than one at a time. Something he was grateful for. He watched as a man in a beanie walked up first, anger in his eyes as Tommy stared back with childish pride. Tommy was... Hesitant, to say the least. Would he have to kill them? His thoughts were cut off, literally, with a sword coming towards his head. Tommy threw his shield up, moving his sword towards the man's stomach. He backed away in time, just as Tommy sliced again. His sword hit the man's arm, causing him a bit of pain as another man shot an arrow at Tommy. He moved a little to the right, the arrow slicing past his arm and into a nearby tree.

The fighting continued, one by one throwing hits that Tommy would barely block and sometimes was hit by. All Tommy knew was the arrows were piercing through him and the swords were sharper than they look. Tommy watched as a man in a mask kicked his gut, knocking the boy into a nearby tree. Tommy shook his head, raising an arm before pointing at the man, an arrow shot by him and towards the group. Footsteps from beside him caused a smile to form on his face as he saw his pink-haired friend and confused faces from the group of fighters.

Tommy stood up clutching his stomach, Niki glanced at him whispering, "M was told to stay behind, I can cover you for a short period of time. Heal and get ready to fight again." Tommy nodded, reaching into his back pocket for a healing potion. He undid the cork, drank a bit of it, before feeling someone tug on the bottom of his shirt. "Tommy, my parents, there in that fight." Tommy's eyes widened, he crouched down and asked, "Who? Describe them to me." Micheal nodded, mumbling out details he saw, "Uh.. One has brown hair and small horns, he has the bow in hand right now, and beside him, the half white half black creature is my dad.." Tommy nodded, saying, "Stay here, behind the tree. If anyone-" Tommy tried to continue, Micheal pointed towards the man who kicked his stomach and said, "That's the one who tried to kill me."

Time stopped for Tommy, he was angry, to say the least. This child, no older than 5 or 6 was almost murdered by someone claiming to fight with their parents. He slowly pulled out an arrow, loaded it in his bow, and shouted, "NIKI DUCK" The girl did as told, no questions asked, as Tommy fired the arrow into the man's shoulder. Niki backed up, sending him a confused look, which he answered with, "He tried to kill M."

"He tried to do WHAT?" Niki was understandably upset, Tommy nodded and continued, "I'm ending this. Bring M to his parents, he'll point towards them." Niki nodded turning around as Tommy faced the man he shot, laughing slightly as he said, "You really tried to murder a young kid. For punishment?" He got a running start, lifting his sword to swing.

"Micheal!?" One boy yelled, running to the piglin Niki picked up. She smiled and said, "He's been with us, we took care of him as best as we could. We intended to return him after the fight, but this works, right?" The boy took Micheal out of her hands, tears forming as the piglin said, "Niki is so sweet! We baked cookies and cake, I have some for you at the castle! Oh dad it was so fun! I was scared at first but uncle Tommy told me I'd be fine! He saved me!" Niki studied the two boys holding their child, she felt like she knew one of them. "Uhm.. By any chance," Niki started, catching the three's attention, "Is your name Tubbo?"

Tommy tried his best, oh he really did. But the masked man seemed to barely be trying against him. As he blocked a few more attacks, the masked man said, "If you survive, tell them Dream stabbed you," And his sword went right through Tommy's stomach. He screamed in pain, the sword being pulled out as Niki's head snapped to her left and over to the boy. She remembered this exact scene..

-Flashback-

Niki heard a scream, turning to her left to see her friend, "Kate!" Niki yelled, facing the one who stabbed her. "W-will... Why..?" The boy above them, Wilbur, who looked only 17 years old was wide-eyed as he tried to apologize. "I-I swear, Niki I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry!" Wilbur pulled out bandages, trying to help wrap the wound of the 16-year-old princess. "Wilbur how could you! We shouldn't be here, I shouldn't be here!" Wilbur faced Niki with surprise and pity, she didn't need Wilbur's pity. "I'm only 15!" Niki started, pointing in the direction of Tubbo, "He's only 13! You're the adult here, so act like it!" Niki picked up Kate bridal style, Wilbur's eyes widened as he stuttered out, "I-I thought you were- I thought you were Dream! Something happened, my mind was warped-" ''No," Niki stopped Wilbur, just barely making eye contact with the boy, "You're ideas are warped. We shouldn't be fighting a war you know we can't win."

-End of Flashback-

Niki ran over, taking out bandages as she desperately tried to help the boy. Memories flooded back to everyone here, she knew them all. How could she forget L'manberg? The country Wilbur tried to grow, Eret's betrayal, everything.

How could she be so blind?
