The Apprentice {{DISCONTINUED VERSION}}

TW// Swearing

"Techno, you home?" Dream said, standing outside the door with Nightmare, "I got the stuff and someone I want you to meet." Techno opened the door and saw Dream and Nightmare.

"Who the fuck is that?" Phil said from behind Techno.

"This is Nightmare, he's-"

"Ha! 'Nightmare' The heck kind of name is that?" Techno chuckled, cutting Dream off.

"Nightmare," Dream said, not taking his gaze off of Techno. Nightmare pulled out his axe at the command, something they had worked on in training, and put it to Techno's throat.

Techno followed suit, pulling his axe out and putting it to Nightmare's, "I'd like to see you try."

"Off." Dream commanded, making Nightmare put his axe away. "I'd love to see you two fight, but I can't have you die," Dream pushed the axe away from Nightmare, "Phil would murder the both of us."

Techno looked at Dream, "Heh! You think he can kill me?" Techno laughed.

"Yes," Dream said calmly, knowing the ability Nightmare had, "Now are we going to continue with this meeting, or are you just going to stare at my apprentice?" Dream walked inside with Nightmare following closely.

Techno shook his head, "Well, do you have the redstone?"

Nightmare handed his redstone to Dream. "Yes," Dream said, pulling out some more, "We got 2 stacks each."

"Oh is he going to help?" Phil asked.

"Yes," Dream said, "He is my apprentice, he's trained to attack anyone I ask him to, and in a worst-case situation, protect me."

"So he can kill anyone we need him to?" Techno asked with a smile.

Nightmare nodded and pulled out a menu and messaged Techno, 'I will, but I mainly listen to Dream, if you want me to do anything for you Dream has to say I can.'

"He needs your permission to listen to me?" Techno asked, opening the menu, "And why doesn't he talk?"

"Yes, and he's partially mute," he looked at Nightmare, "He usually messages me though."

'I'm sorry' Nightmare signed.

"It's fine Nightmare." Dream said, "Now let's talk about our plan."

"Right," Phil said, "So you're going to build an obsidian grid above L'manberg, me and you will rig it. Techno will spawn in as many withers as he can as we unleash the TNT. And I guess Nightmare will do whatever you say."

Nightmare looked at Phil and bowed. "That's how he agrees." Dream answered in response to Phil's confused look.

"Ah, well good to see that you're on board." Phil said, putting his hand on Nightmare's shoulder.

"Well me and Nightmare will go discuss his side of the plan," Dream said walking towards the door, "We'll see you tomorrow." Nightmare followed Dream, waving goodbye to Techno and Phil as he left.

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

They went back to Nightmare's house, "So you guys are blowing up L'manberg?" Nightmare said, taking his mask off.

"Yes," Dream said, "Have a problem with it?"

"No." Nightmare said, taking the poncho off, "They exiled Tommy even after he fought in wars for them, he gave up everything for them, they didn't care about him, they deserve it."

Dream smirked, "Good to hear."

"So what am I going to do?" Nightmare questioned, sitting on his bed.

"You will come when I call, and attack who I tell you to."

"Ok," Nightmare said, lying down, "I'm going to sleep so I'm well rested for tomorrow, teleporting requires quite the amount of energy."

"Ok," Dream said, leaving, "Goodnight Nightmare."

Writer's note: Yooo I didn't forget to upload this one! Anyways- the ending may seem confusing. Nightmare and Tommy are two different people but Nightmare retains all of Tommy's memories. Think of when Glatt and Ghostbur merged, but with current C!Wilbur's/Ghostburs memories. Nightmare often refers to Tommy in the third person, and I can't tell you about Tommy's view on it cuz it'll spoil the future of the story.
