Chapter 21

~Hiya! I hope you are all well! I just wanted to thank you for 11k! I know I'm a broken record but I started this out because I was bored and now I see people enjoying it. It's the escape I didn't know I needed so thank you to all of you who support this story. It means the world to me. Anyway on to the chapter!~

~Time skip to the morning~

        The sun beats on my face. Shining from the forgotten window. Stretching a yawning I think of yesterday's events. I sit on this bed. Before, I wished nothing more than to get a quiet day but now all I want to hear is all of my family sitting around me waking me up joyfully. Just like nothing has happened. Getting up for the day I decide to open the bar tonight. I start to cook and clean to prep. 

         While dusting I bump into the piano. It's old now far more worn down than when I got it. Techno and I spent so long learning new songs on it while Wilbur plucked at his guitar. Those two took such different paths in life. Techno became became a recluse who never showed his once joyful face to anyone, but I can only hope to see his face again. Then there's Wilbur who was so charismatic he created a whole country. Yet, nothing could stop them from reconnecting. The bridge was Tommy. He forced their reconnection but also supported them. Tommy. The one constant in the storm. He didn't deserve what Dream did to him or how he was exiled in the first place. The poor boy fought so hard for everything he has done. 

        Phil. I can't even imagine how he's feeling. He gave his everything to those children just as I did. Though time after time he watched as we did dangerous stuff unable to help. Then here I go seemingly betraying him and Techno. To be honest Phil needed a break of any sort. He did an amazing job taking care of all the boys. I know he'd deny it but he constantly worries for all of them. He didn't need me to help him. I just kind of appeared into their lives. Just like how those boys just appeared onto my doorstep. Maybe it was fate? Who can say? 

      The cold loneliness is drowning me. I haven't been alone at all in weeks. I got used to being around everybody. I guess that's why I'm in this mess in the first place. I couldn't help but care for all those people around me. I saw they were struggling just as much as I was. I couldn't just let them be I guess. I had to attempt to comfort them. My own heart betrays me but I wouldn't take back anything I've done. Everybody needs somebody to be there for them. 

     Looking at the time I notice it's almost time for Dream and Techno to attack L'Manburg. I stop cleaning. I really hope no one gets hurt. Then a thought crosses my mind, "What if Techno can't control the voices?" My eyes widen at the realization. I quickly drop everything and dash out the door without a second thought.

      The race to get there in time is working against me. I can't sustain this amount of running for so long. Before I know it the explosions are visible from the path. They started early. Dammit! Racing towards the battle noticing Friend still where I left him at least he's safe. As I get closer I see something in the corner of my eye. It makes me stop in my tracks.

       "Shlatt? Why are you here?" He grins, "Just a reminder of what I said to everyone when I died." The words pop into my mind. "I said the country will die with me and guess who was right?" He was but I wish he wasn't. 

       Walking past the grinning man I finally see the wreckage of L'Manburg. Withers floated everywhere as the people I knew fought for their lives. In the center of it all was Techno attacking people with anger in his eyes. His cape elegantly swaying with every movement. I hear someone call to him. I gaze upon the one person I didn't expect to see. Phil. He was fighting off people and observing the chaos. He could tell he was riled but by his puffed out wings. 

     "SINCE WHEN DO YOU NOT LIKE GOVERNMENT PHIL?!" I hear someone yell to Phil. "SINCE I WAS FORCED TO KILL MY SON YOU IDIOT!" My heart shatters. Here he was fighting all his sadness by taking it all out on others. This wasn't like him. His name quietly escapes my mouth. Lost in the chaos and noise. 

     I veer my attention over to Techno who was staring face to face with Tommy and Tubbo.  "Yu never thought of me as a FRIEND! You only thought of me as the BLADE!" Tommy is visibly hurt by his words. The two argue. Techno lets out all of the feelings he was bottling up. All of his hurt spilling out. I can't believe I betrayed him when was feeling so sad. Techno raises his bow the fire at Tommy continuing his monolog. 

      My body moves on its own. Towards the two. As I weave through the wreckage towards them Phil and I make eye contact. His frustrated expression quickly turns into shock. We continue to stare at each other until I reach my destination. In between Techno and Tommy. The sound of a fireworks lighting filling my ears.

      I know this is stupid but seeing anyone die today means I failed. I stare at the shocked Tommy face as a fire erupts at my back. The pain unbearable as I drop to the floor with a smile. Just like that the battle goes quiet. A few moments go by of complete quietness. Until my name is cried out by varying people. I couldn't tell each one though. The pain consuming my body. This must be what it's like to die. 

     I am flipped over to be greeted by my loved ones. Not in the way that I had hoped earlier today. They all held scared expressions trying to heal my wound desperately. "Mom. I'm- I'm so sorry!" I reach my hand to unclip his mask. As it falls I couldn't help but smile because I missed seeing Techno's face. We lock eyes. "It's ok Techno. It'll all be ok. This isn't your fault. It's no one's but my own I made a choice. I'm so proud of you for growing to be this strong. Try not to fight so much though I always worry about you" Tears drip onto my face presumably from Techno. 

     I look to Tubbo and Tommy. "You two I'm so glad you guys are ok. Take care of each other. You've grown to be so caring I couldn't be prouder of you both. Stay out of trouble you both have your lives ahead of you" They both break down into tears along side Techno. "You'll be ok mum come on. We'll heal you you can't- can't-" Tommy pleads. "Why would you do that?" Tommy couldn't help but ask. "I couldn't watch you die."  Our conversation stops when Phil breaks through them to see me.

     My blood seeps out of my back. "Y/N" I smile at him. A tear escapes my eye. "Phil. Are you angry with me?" Phil looks to be in so much pain. He kneels next to me holding my hand. "I could never Y/N." "I'm so glad. I can leave without any regrets." "Come on don't talk like that" His words stuttered in weakness I've never seen from before. "I should have gone with Techno I could have spent more time you. Sorry that I didn't" He shakes his head. "You can't do this you made a promise Y/N" "Well I think we both know nothing could stop me haha" Pain seers through my entire being. 

    "I wish I could share words with everyone here especially you Fundy and you Quackity but I'm so tired right now. Know that I love everyone here you all make me so proud. I lived such a good life having been with all of you." Tears were shed by all except Dream who only stared from the sidelines watching his friends and enemies unite for my last moments. I still can't stop smiling knowing everything was worth it. I hum the song Techno and I played together so long ago. Techno through sobs sings it to me. "don't you worry. don't you worry child." The lyrics leave my mouth and ease my mind as I drift off.

~End of Chapter~
I know you all hate me but please just stick with me for next chapter. This was my original idea for the end of the story. I wrote the story with only the end in mind. This was the foundation for the whole story. I'll admit I actually cried while making this. I will say this isn't the end of the story there is more. Also sorry I had to change the timing for some speeches. I'm sorry for this you guys.
