"Dream." The masked man paused at hearing the familiar, deep voice to the person he was going to war with.

He turned around to meet mask to mask with Technoblade who stared back at him, clear confusion evident in his posture, as well as the half of his face that was shown.

Dream grinned.

"Ah, Techno!" Dream immediately let go of Bads shoulder, lightly pulling him away to create some distance. "Just the person I wanted to see."

"We need to talk." The Blood God started, voice devoid of any sort of emotion as he stepped to the side, giving Dream room to exit up the ladder.

"Sure." Dream replied. "Today's going to be the start of a new age, after all." He turned back to Bad for the last time. "See you later, Bad." Before passing Techno, making his way up the ladder and exiting through the trap door.

Bad didn't say a word as he left, still surprised at the outburst from someone he had considered his friend. His frightened glance landed on Techno who was looking at him in silence.

Neither of them said a word. Even though Technoblade didn't have the words to talk to the demon at that moment, he was able to read his body language. He looked threatened, similar to how he had looked back when Techno had first caught him.

It didn't bother the pig much though. Why would it? At this moment in time, Dream was his ally in fighting a war, while Badboyhalo was a hostage who risked revealing his plans to the other side.

So he turned around and climbed up the ladder, leaving the demon to stand there in silence with his tail between his legs.

Dream was waiting for him back in the main room with Phil, who was in the middle of stashing away a multitude of potions into a chest.

"Did you have a good nap?" Dream asked sarcastically causing Techno to snort at him. He didn't mention how he was still exhausted.

"Anyways, " Techno started. "We haven't yet discussed plans for today. It's cutting it a bit late Dream."

The man in the green hoodie laughed. "Its going to be fine. I've already set up the foundations of the TNT generators, all I need to do is put down the TNT to finish setting it up. That's where you come in; I need you to keep them distracted and buy me some time while I finish setting it up."

"...How much time do you need?"

"Hmm.." He thought for a moment. "Probably around 20 minutes."

"20 minutes? Are you serious Dream?!" Phil had got back onto his feet and was now staring  the masked man down in shock.

"I have to say, that's asking a lot from me, Dream." Techno mentioned. Dream only found it amusing.

"You're the mighty Blade, aren't you? It's not like you'll be fighting them alone, Philza will be there too."

"He isn't coming with us." Techno glared.

"Really?" Dream paused. "Because it sounded to me like he was going to help us."

The Blood God immediately turned to meet face to face with the winged man.

"Mate, I want to help you." Phil pleaded, knowing Techno was going to be stubborn in accepting it.

"No, you're staying here." Techno remained adamant.
