The Days After

Days used to start off differently for Techno

Techno would wake up in bed by himself. Phil would usually have to come knock on his door. He would get up and go take a bath while Phil went down to make breakfast. Sometimes Ranboo would visit, sometimes Niki would come by. Techno would tend to his animals and maybe train while Phil would work on more builds or expanding the syndicate. They would have dinner together then read in their library. After an hour it would be bedtime. Nothing felt off but they felt like something could be added.

Then came the day they broke Dream out of Prison.

----------------------

Phil told Techno about what he saw by accident and felt like the prison was very off putting. At first, he was going to ignore that statement but something made him anxious.

Something was going on in that prison and there was a pretty high chance no one knew. Or no one cared...it was hard to tell with this server sometimes. So they grabbed their best weapons and pickaxes and left. Luckily Bad had walked out with a concerning look on his face, leaving the door open for them to slip in. But his words made them fill with dread.

"I don't understand why Sam won't let me visit but is more than willing to let Quackity visit, who he knows hates Dream...Sam what are you doing?" The first thing Techno and Phil noticed about the prison was how empty it felt. They could see the main cells and office area but it felt so barren. They moved forward.

When they went deep enough, they heard a noise. The noise wasn't distinguishable yet but it was there and it made them anxious. As they went deeper, the noise rose and so did their anxiety. Until they were able to distinguish what that noise was.

They were screams.

Screams of pain.

Pained screams that belonged to someone.

That belonged to Dream.

The two syndicate members booked it down the path.

What was going on? Where is Sam?

When they reached the vault, the warden wasn't seen. So he's in the cell...This thought did not make Phil or Techno feel happy at all. Phil reached up and pressed a button that he assumed would open up the lava wall and let them see the cell. What the lava revealed was horrifying.

Sam was pinning a topless Dream down on his stomach. His back littered in gashes and covered in blood. Quackity was straddling his hips and cutting into his back with a large knife that was glowing, showing that it was enchanted. If that wasn't bad enough, the condition of the cell was worse. There was blood on the walls and floor. There was no form of insulation so the cell had to be hot and stuffy. There was a pile of rotten potatoes in a corner of the cell. No bed, no blanket, not even a pillow.

This cell was horrible, it was inhumane.

Sam and Quackity finally looked up when they felt the heat shift and were met with two sets of eyes full of pure rage. Before the two could react, Phil and Techno pearled over and pounced on them. The two had no chance to defend before everyone saw the death message.

Quackity was slain by Techno while using [Toothpick]

Awesamdude was slain by Philza while using [Benihime]

Philza and Techno were panting afterwards. From exhaustion or lingering anger, they didn't know. A whimper broke them from their seething, causing them to look at the reason they were actually there for. The person they were here for. Dream was trying to push himself off the ground and failing with his injuries. Philza immediately ran over and pulled Dream into a better position, which was Dream leaning his head on the older man's shoulder. Techno reached into his inventory and pulled out a potion of healing. They had to give it to him quickly before Sam and Quackity got back.
