Broken Mask| Fundy & Dream

eighteen

"Dream!"

Nightmare turned around and smirked as he saw Ghostbur standing there. The ghost looking ready to die, again.

"Wilbur, how nice of you to join."

"I searched him, all he has is a lead and blue dye." Puffy stated.

"Right, burn the lead. Let him keep the dye.."

Puffy nods, taking the lead off of Wilbur and heading out the room to burn it.

"Where's my son, Anderson?" Wilbur hissed, "I went around the entire fucking united kingdom for him. I want to see him."

"Ooh, feisty one are you!" Nightmare chuckled, "Well, rule number on, Soot." He socked Wilbur right across the jaw, the ghost grunts, falling to the ground. The bone swelling up and turning black.

"I don't do feisty. Get up."

Wilbur was forced to his feet by Puffy once she came back, before being lead up to the attic.

The lights turned on, and Wilbur's eyes widened at the sight of his scared and wounded son. A white cloth around Fundy's mouth.

"Fundy! Look who joined the party." Nightmare exclaimed.

Fundy (whom Nightmare had given a healing potion to) looked up and his eyes filled with tears. The ropes that he was once tied up with, now just chains.

Wilbur grunts as he was pushed up to the floor of the attic. Nightmare taking the ghost by the wrist and chaining him up as well next to the fox.

"I feel quite generous today, so, I'll let you both talk. But, if you try anything, I won't hesitate to kill one of you." Nightmare warned.

He walked over to Fundy and un-gaged him, loosening his chains so he could move just barely enough to get to Wilbur, vise versa. Before heading back downstairs, locking the door.

Wilbur didn't hesitate as he lunges forward and hugs Fundy tightly. Taking deep breaths to calm his racing heart.

"Thank god you're not dead.."

Fundy hugged back, tears running down his face. Never before was he so desperate to see someone, but he needed his dad more then ever.

"I.. I didn't think you'd come get me.." the fox's voice was hoarse.

"I gave up everything to find you. I even gave up L'manberg to Dream.." Wilbur whispered.

"W- What?" Fundy pulled away from the hug. "B- But.. y- you love L'manberg.. t- that's your c- country.."

"I know, but.. you're more important to me than L'manberg. I was too stupid to realize it before, but now, I'm not. I'm never putting anything over you again." Wilbur wiped some grime off of Fundy's face.

"You look like your mum.. she would be so proud of you."

Fundy hugged Wilbur again, "She would be proud of you, too."

By then, Eret and Niki not only got the others involved, but the police. Not just in Copenhagen, but in the entire United States and United Kingdom. Causing both places to go into temporary lockdown.

Being a king was a pro for situations like this.

"Here's what we do know-" Niki stated, looking at the groups of officers. "What we do know is Dream is good, and I mean very good, at manipulation. He managed to get one of our own to turn on us. Hence why Wilbur is gone." She explained.

"We need eyes out for this man and woman." Eret showed a picture of both Dream and Puffy. "If we can get one of them, we can get closer to finding Fundy and Wilbur."

"Clay Anderson is a national threat to not just our country, but to everyone. We have to stop him."

---

"You got to be fucking kidding me-" Nightmare snapped. "They got my goddamn picture?! Our goddamn pictures?! This is pathetic!"

"I should've killed them both." Puffy murmured.

Nightmare froze and quietly turned around. "You didn't KILL them?!" He yelled.

"I didn't think they'd have photos." Puffy explained.

"They have fucking phones, Puffy. Of course they would!" Nightmare snapped.

"I'm sorry."

Nightmare sighed, calming down. "If you're sorry, you can prove it by not eating tonight." He states, "They shouldn't know our location.. moment they do, I'm killing them."

"Sir.. wouldn't that make things worse? Even if we kill them, we can't leave. They shut down the US and UK." Puffy explained.

"They didn't shut down L'manberg.. and as far as I know, Wilbur gave his power to us.." Nightmare smirked widely.

"What if others are there? They would know." Puffy commented.

"Damnit, that's true.." Nightmare groaned. "Fine, we stay here. There's no way they'd check in the most obvious place. That be here, Fundy's own childhood home. Only Wilbur knows this address."

Niki picked at her food, she couldn't stop thinking about Wilbur and Fundy. How she lost two of her closest friends.

It had been two hours since the others had arrived (the airlines only making exceptions for them, luckily, Eret had arranged for them to get the fastest flight).

"Niki, you need to eat something." Ranboo stated.

"I know, I know.." the female sighed. "I'm just worried."

"We're going to find them. At least they can't leave." Ranboo sat down next to her. "I know you're worried about them, but you can't starve yourself over something like this. We need you."

Niki sighed and nods. "I'll try. Update me if anything happens, yeah?"

"Promise. Goodnight, Niki."

"Night, Ranboo."

The enderman walked off, and Niki looked down at her food. She took a bite of it and sighed.

Friend walked up to Niki, hopping up on the table and laying down next to her. A piece of paper in his mouth.

"Hey friend, what do you have there?" Niki asked.

Friend dropped it, it was a picture of Wilbur, Sally, and Fundy when he was two months old.

Niki smiled weakly at the photo, putting down her fork as she looked at the photo.

"Sally sure was pretty.." she sighed, "Wilbur was lucky, I'll say that much." She flipped the paper over, noticing a weirdly shaped stain.

"Hm?" She then got an idea, getting up and heading over to a drawer and opening it. Grabbing a blue finger light. She slipped it on and turned it on with her ring finger.

The blue light shines, revealing a line of letters and numbers.

Ny99, aubg.

"Huh?" Niki furrowed her eyebrows, she walked over back to the table and grabbed her laptop off the charger.

Ny99 aubg.. what did that mean?

Typing in the array of numbers and letters, Niki then was shown an address. Her eyes widened.

"ERET!"
