The Future: Dream SMP Descendents AU

Chapter 2

3rd person PoV

"Where can we spar? Fire here needs to work on their boat-fighting skills," Techno says, gesturing toward them. They smile, looking a little distracted.

"Yeah, I really do need to practice a little," Fire agrees.

"The deck should be fine. Just try not to slash the rigging- Last time that happened it was... quite expensive." Jinx winces.

"Ok then. And is there a spot for us to rest, as well?" Techno asks Jinx.

"Yes, this ship has quite large crew quarters for the 4 of us," Jinx replies.

"Ok." Fire says. "I'm going to go to the bow and sit for a couple of minutes, then we can practice. See you around, Jinx."

"See ya."

Three hours later, Fireblade stands at the bow of the ship again. The ship is almost to the Prime Path area, and the crew is preparing to land. Techno and Fire had practiced some while Jinx focused on sailing the boat, but now Fire feels like they need to be the first one to see the shore of the SMP, their new home. As the dock comes into render distance, Fire smiles.

Philza Minecraft POV

As the boat comes into my render distance, I frown. Jinx is back early. Then, I gasp. Techno? But he's-

The figure at the bow moves down to the deck, jumping off with... another Techno? And there's Jinx! I walk forward, down the dock, closer to the boat. WHY DOES THAT PERSON LOOK SO MUCH LIKE TECHNO?? I THOUGHT HE WAS F**KING DEAD?? I start running as the other Techno looks up, giving him enough time to recognize me, and smiles.

"Hey Phil."

"T-Techno?" Tears stream down my face as I stand on the dock, unsure what to do. Then Techno steps up, gently wiping the tears away, hugging me.

"I missed you, old friend."

"You- you were dead! I had a FUNERAL for you! You DIED!"

"No, I didn't. I ran away so I could- there is someone I want you to meet." Techno pulls away, motioning for the other 'Techno' to come forward. They do, smiling when they see me. I see the differences between the two, mainly in the way they were built, and the other person's antlers. "This is Fireblade. They are my child. I ran away so I could raise them safely, Phil."

I blink, surprised. "You? Child? But-"

Jinx butts in, having finished tying up the boat with the crew. "You should sit down, Phil."

*poof* Third Person PoV

A few minutes later, they walk to the bench, and the four of them sit down, Techno and Fire explaining the life they lived. Then Phil starts to talk about what had happened after the explosion on his end.

"When Ranboo found you- I was sleeping in the house a bit away from yours, and the explosion didn't wake me up. What did was his scream. His angry, grief-filled sobbing. His yelling in Ender, yelling at you, at the gods, at himself. I called Tubbo, and the rest of the syndicate, as well as a couple others. The rest found out through the communicators when they woke up. We had a funeral, Techno. It's been 15 years. And on top of that, a SALMON? You should've known better!"

Then, Fire leans forward and hugs him, cutting off his next sentence. "Hello, Grandpa. Nice to meet you."

"H-hello," Phil stammers. "My goodness I have another grandchild. Techno, why didn't you tell me again? I have years of spoiling to catch up on!"

Just then, ironically, two golden-headed blurs run up the path, giggling loudly. They run right off the dock, getting Phil, Techno, Fire, and Jinx wet. Their heads pop up, and the boy says, "Tell us if Dad comes."

"Hiding from your pop again?" Phil asks.

"Yeah, he wants us to clean our room," the girl replies. The two looked to be twins of about 5.

Then they see Tommy, running down the prime path toward the bench.

"Hey Phil, you know where th-" He spotts Techno and Fire. "WHAT THE (f except i don't want to swear so yeah *causally breaks fourth wall* ~Fawna)?!"

"Hey child." Techno says. Tommy faints, the twins climbing out of the water to make sure he is okay.

Jinx whispers in Fire's ear, "That's Gold and Sunny, by the way. They are Tommy and Linda's children, they're 5." Techno, with very good ears, overhears and nods. Phil stands up and walks over to Tommy, and Techno frowns.

"There is a very good way to wake him up that you are ignoring, Phil."

"What are you going to do..." Phil sees Techno pulling a water bucket from a pocket in his cape. "TECHNO N-" Techno dumps the bucket of water on Tommy, promptly waking him up, spluttering.

***

After they had explained the situation to Tommy and the twins, the seven of them decide to head to Snowchester so Techno could apologize to Ranboo and Tubbo. A bit later, they're in front of the mansion.

Phil knocks, stepping back so Fire and Techno could step forward. They hear a shout from inside. "Da! Pa! Someone's at the door!"

"Be there in a moment Michael!" They wait, the twins shuffling their feet before walking a bit away and starting to build a snowman. Then the door was opened by Ranboo.

"T-Techno? You're-" The look of pain and confusion on his face makes a tear run down Techno's face. Then Ranboo slips into the enderwalk from the surprise, just as Tubbo comes from behind him. His eyes travel from Techno to Fire, then to Ranboo, before he hugs Ranboo. Michael, watching the whole exchange from behind, on the stairs, comes up and hugs Ranboo as well. He slips out of the enderwalk, and looking at Techno, says, "You better have a good explanation for this, Techno. And who's the look-alike?"
