In conclusion, Dadbur and DadSchlatt aus my beloved

He fires a rocket at Jack Manifold, Phil spawning withers. He lives in the chaos.
Tnt rains down, and he dodges a blast, huffing slightly in annoyance. Dream couldn't bother to be a bit more careful?
He goes around, firing rockets and killing pretty much everyone he sees. There were a few people he spared. Ranboo, he was just a kid and had never wronged him. When he came across his book, he'd gave it back to him and told him to get out of there. He hadn't seen him since, so he assumed he did so. Fundy, Wilbur's kid, he ignored him. Tommy, he hadn't seen him yet, but he'd heard him yelling over the sound of explosions. And Niki, she'd never wronged him and she was a good friend of Wilbur's. She stayed pretty well out of the battle anyways. That was good.
Then again, wasn't everyone here friends with Wilbur at least once?
This server had torn them apart. This government had torn them apart. Had torn Wilbur apart.
He stabs Quackity, maybe with a little more viciousness than he'd originally meant.
Quackity was with Schlatt. He'd been there when Wilbur and Tommy were banished, he'd laughed as Schlatt drove them from their home. He'd only joined them after their partnership no longer benefited him.
He disliked Quackity quite a bit.
A huge explosion wracks the ground. He turns to see Tommy stumble back towards the ledge. He reacts before he can think, tridenting over to him and grabbing the front of his shirt.
Tommy stares at him with wide eyes, tears streaming down his face. He realizes he was still holding his trident and spins it in his hand. Tommy flinches back, hands lifting to protect himself from the dangerous weapon.
He stabs it into the ground, handle up, and pulls Tommy onto solid ground. As another huge explosion wracks the ground, he pulls him into a hug, shielding him from the blast. He sighs as the kid Wilbur had practically raised clutches onto his shirt, starting to sob, and gently runs a hand through his hair, trying to calm him.
"You should stay away from cliffs, Theseus." He says softly.
"Why do you care?" Tommy sniffles. He knew he'd meant it to be angry, but he just sounded too tired to put the venom behind it. Somehow, that hurt even more.
"I do care about you, kid. I always will. That's why I have to do this." He says gently.
"Why? Why do you have to do this?" He sighs.
"Because Dream wont stop until this place is gone. That means he won't stop coming after you, and everyone else, until this land is blown up. If unifying you and your friends together, to stop all the infighting, takes a common enemy," He lets go of Tommy, turning to return to battle, "Then I will be that common enemy."
"Techno, wait-"
"I'm sorry, Theseus. Stay away from the cliffs." With that, he tridents away.
He refused to address the heaviness in his heart, or the tears that threaten to well up in his eyes.
He'd blame it on the soul sand if anyone asked.
Every time he starts to regret what he's doing, he just remembers that little brown haired boy Phil had raised. The one who'd ride on his shoulders, and begged him to teach him to fight. Who'd always try to talk his way out of situations before reverting to violence. Every time he starts to regret, he remembers Wilbur, paranoid and driven to insanity by this country, by the stress and responsibility they'd put on the free spirit's shoulders, until it became too much. He remembers the dead body of the kid he'd helped raise, left alone in that room, guarded by Crows.
He couldn't protect him.
But maybe, just maybe, he could protect the young ones he'd cared for. He'd do whatever it took to keep them alive.
Even if it meant he had to hurt them along the way.
