Hardcore Life (Ph1LzA fanfic)

Shifting Tides (SMP)

Amelia

I made a face as I drank the invisibility potion Technoblade handed me. We were standing on the edge of L'Manberg, and the two of them didn't want to be caught considering we weren't supposed to be anywhere close to it. I watched my hand slowly disappear, and I could barely see the other two as they ran from me. I was quiet as I pulled the small folded up paper from my pocket. It had been a letter I had found stapled to one of the cabin's roof tiles a few days before.

Meet me on the prime path leading to L'Manberg before the festival. I have plans. - Dream

"This better be worth it, Dream." I crushed the small paper in my hand before spreading my wings and launching myself up into the air.

I flew over L'Manberg, and it took less than a second to find the start of the prime path. I straightened my wings so I could let the wind carry me, and I raised an eyebrow as I spotted Dream close to the Community House. I raised an eyebrow at the destroyed building, and I landed on the path. Dream's head turned in my direction at the sound of the soft thud.

"Amelia?" He questioned.

"Who else would be sneaking around here while invisible?" I questioned. "Dream, what happened here?"

"I'm putting a plan into motion." He replied.

"That doesn't explain anything. Who blew up the community house?" 

"Just a friend of mine." He shrugged.

"Why did you want me to come here?" I asked.

"Judging from you being here, that means you didn't come alone. I don't think Technoblade or Philza would let you come here on your own after almost being murdered." He started walking toward L'Manberg as he spoke, and I stepped out of the way so he wouldn't walk directly into me. "I need to cash in on a favor. I'll pay you back sometime."

"Of course." I rolled my eyes as I followed him, making sure my footsteps were loud enough for him to here as I walking beside him. "What is it that you need?"

"Is Tommy here?"

"I mean, he's here somewhere. I don't know where he and Technoblade ran off to."

"Good. Mind if I blame the Community House on him?"

"I don't think I'll really have a choice in the matter. You'd just do it anyway even if I say no."

"Good to know that you aren't as stupid as the rest of them. Take to the sky, Amelia. We'll have company soon."

I flapped my wings to get into the air, and I silently followed him as he continued down the path. I wasn't surprised as he started placing obsidian at the border of L'Manberg, gaining the attention of the people almost immediately. I flew high enough that they wouldn't hear me drink another potion, making sure my invisibility didn't fade.

"Let me show you what he did." Dream told the people of L'Manberg who stood around him.

I looked around to see if I could spot anything that would give away where Tommy and Technoblade were, and I rolled my eyes when I spotted the pair of enchanted boots further away on a hill. I made sure I wouldn't cause any wind gusts that would hit anyone as I flew over to the boots.

"Tommy!" I hissed.

"Mum?" Tommy's voice immediately replied, and a thin outline of him formed as I focused on where his voice came from.

"Tommy, what the fuck did you do?" I growled, playing along with Dream's plan.

"I haven't done anything! I was never here!"

"Then explain what Dream is talking about! Why would he say you did something if you weren't here?"

I watched as he ran toward where they were heading, and I assumed Technoblade was following him. I was astounded by how many people had gathered within the ruins of the Community House. I chose to hover behind Dream as he spoke to Tubbo, flapping my wings just hard enough to cause a wind current the masked man could feel.

"If you don't want to be affiliated with Tommy, just hand over the disk you have." Dream held his hand out toward Tubbo, and I knew he must have had a smirk on his face behind the mask.

"Wait!"

Tommy's invisibility potion wore off just as he climbed onto the platform Dream, Tubbo, and a handful of others stood on. I folded my arms across my chest as he started arguing with Tubbo.

"The disks were worth more than you ever did!" Tommy screamed at one point.

Pain etched onto Tubbo's features as he stepped away from Tommy, everyone around them gasping. I sighed as I furled my wings, stepping onto the platform.

"I told you that's all he cared about." I said as my invisibility potion wore off, everyone looking at me. "None of you wanted to believe it, but he said it himself."

Dream glanced at me over his shoulder. I reached forward and grabbed Technoblade's wrist, causing him to let out a small squeal as I yanked him toward me. I looked up and around at the massive amount of people huddled around, some up higher while others were on the same level as us. I was silent as I pulled the hilt of a sword out of my bag, the blade materializing as I gripped it.

"Give him the disk." Tommy muttered, lowering his head.

"Think about this, Tommy. You're making it harder for us to get them back." Technoblade stated as Tubbo pulled a disk out of his enderchest, holding it out to Dream. "We can still get out of here. We'll regroup and think of a new plan."

"No, Techno." Tommy looked at the pig man. "I'm becoming like the people I don't want to be. Dream has the disks, so L'Manberg doesn't have to fall anymore. It's over."

"You misunderstood me yesterday, Tommy. I'm still going to destroy L'Manberg. When I said you could sit out, I didn't mean you could just switch sides!"

"We have things to discuss." Dream said. "We'll meet up at your place?"

"Sure." Technoblade looked to the mask man almost immediately.

I tuned out whatever Dream was saying to Tubbo, keeping my eyes on everyone above us. I unfurled my wings, crouching down slightly.

"Now that I've said that, we'll be on our way." Dream said. "Redz, clear a way out for us."

Tommy yelled my name as I leaped into the air, letting out an angered growl as I slashed through someone's chest, causing them to stagger back and fall into the pond. I made two others fall over before I looked down at Technoblade and Dream, both of them tossing enderpearls at me. I held my arm up, letting the pearls hit me, and they both appeared beside me. I jumped off of the ruined wall of the Community House, spreading my wings and flying away as the two men used tridents to follow me in the rain.
