" T r u s t " || Bench Trio Story|| (Outdated)

Chapter 5

The trio would travel across the desert with no time wasted. Stopping by the sign, or what was left of it—

It was now half on fire, some of it's letters fallen onto the road below. It now said L s N e d s. Yeah not a great name—

Ranboo would stare at the chaos the duo caused as he started to panic, he failed to arrive on time and help stop the problem. Just like how he arrived too late to stop Dream from murdering Tommy. "Well look who it is—" a voice spoke "Ranboo! My partner! How are you doing?" Wilbur, a curly brown haired man with a white streak of hair, would ask the other "This was who you were with?" Quackity, the ruler of the country, asked. His sword out and pointed to Ranboo, who stepped back once "Yep, he did half of the stuff" Wilbur smiled.

"Wilbur you piece of—" Philza held Techno back, whispering a bit "Calm down, I'll deal with this" He stepped forward "Quackity, I assure you, that Ranboo has NOT stepped outside of our territory since he's been executed. So please, don't accuse him of anything he hasn't done—-" "Quackity? What happened?" Another new voice would be heard, this time, it was Tubbo.

"Wilbur and Dream did some vandalism here, I'm assuming Ranboo did something here too but I'm not sure yet—" He was cut off by him "Oh I'm sure" He stared at Ranboo "I'm sure he's done it, murder after all, is a simple act that can lead into terrorism" Ranboo would not hold eye contact, avoiding Tubbo's gaze as he stared at Wilbur "So, where's Dream?" He asked "Isn't he with you? I heard from Phil's crow that—"

"Oh he'll be here, or at least, he's here but busy with TNT. He's setting things up" He said calmly, making Quackity scowl in anger "Listen Tubbo, I'm going to take your word for it. And seeing as he's the closest one here he can pay with his second life" He'd attack Ranboo, but the ender hybrid would just move to the side, kneeing him in the stomach as Quackity dropped to the ground. Groaning in pain as he stood there, with Ranboo moving his right hand to his knife's holster.

"What are you waiting for? Kill him you murderer" Tubbo said coldly, Ranboo took his knife out but his body shook. He took a shaky breath and threw his knife. Hitting the sand right by Quackity as he glared back at Tubbo, walking into the ruins of the city.

Techno sat down on the sand, sighing as he looked at Ranboo walk off "Phil go after him, make sure he doesn't do anything bad" Phil would nod at this, glancing a disbelief look at Tubbo as he flapped his wings and flew away, heading in Ranboo's direction.

"YOU'RE SUCH AN IDIOT AREN'T YOU? NO WONDER L'MANBURG GOT DESTROYED" a voice would speak, Dream's. Tubbo stared at the figure "What? What did I do this time?" He asked annoyingly "And don't think I wouldn't arrest you, I'm just outmatched"

"You fool" He smirked under his smiling mask "I killed Tommy, not Ranboo, I just simply—- framed him is all" He turned around "Well anyways, I'm done here, I'll let you think it over :)" He then disappeared soon after. Not a single trace left.

"I-I- What-?" His voice cracked, staying there frozen as he couldn't say anything else. He KILLED Ranboo, he was the one responsible for it. And after all this time, the man was innocent "..." tears started to stream down his eyes, placing his hand on his face as his legs started shaking. He regretted everything, his actions, his cold, hurtful words, and his thoughts "D-DAMMIT" He screamed to himself in frustration, he broke the one remaining close relationship he had with anyone in the server. And he smashed it to pieces, like a fool. He continued to cry silently, crouching down onto the sand staying there "Listen y'know you can just say sorry right? Ranboo may not forgive you that easily but he will. He's a very kind person" Tubbo stopped crying before staring at Techno, processing the information before nodding. Sitting down in an cross-legged way and waiting.

———————————————————

Ranboo and Phil dashed to the center of Las Nevadas, where the fountain was blown up and where Wilbur stood. Laughing like a maniac "Wilbur, stand down" Philza said sternly, staying in place as the Ranboo stayed behind.

"Oh? And what if I don't huh? What will you do, I have everything in my grasp. The explosives, the influence, AND A NATION" He shouted "Oh? You're just a tool, he'll kill you eventually. I know Dream doesn't work with anyone besides Techno anyways. Face it, you're just a pawn" Ranboo said, making Wilbur chuckle "We'll see about that..." He pulled out his sword "Fight me Ranboo, I'll be the so deadly cause of your second death" He smirked

"No he won't fight you Wilbu—" Ranboo cut Philza off, nodding at him once he turned to face the ender hybrid "You sure?" "Yea" He confirmed, making the Elytrian nod back as he let him pass.

He pulled out his blade, getting into a stance as he kept his eyes on Wilbur, who dashed almost immediately after him. And so, the battle began. The flames were spreading, and the gust of wind blew hard. The clashing noises of the swords loud as ever. Wilbur side-stepped, swinging his sword in a 360 degree manner, making Ranboo step back twice. His purple eyes glowing, he appeared behind Wilbur, striking his shoulder before the man rolled out of the way "Tsk, what a pesky move. I can deal with that" He stood up once again, gripping his sword tightly. He made another attempt to attack Ranboo before he teleported to the side "What you think I'm just gonna stand there and take the hit?" He asked sarcastically, disarming the other and grabbing hold of both his hands. Tying them together as he threw him to the ground "I'll make sure Sam takes you to the very cell your 'hero' was in" He said, a chuckle soon coming after from Philza.

"Pfft, I was going to help— then you just took care of him like that" He snapped his fingers in an imitating manner, making Ranboo chuckle too "Well, I have trained under Techno. But I don't think even he'll be enough to stop Dream. After all, I can feel he's grown stronger and better" He said seriously, the two nodding before Philza turned around and flapped his wings, levitating off the ground after a few moments "Welp, better get going, we should take Wilbur with us just to make sure"

"Mhm" Ranboo replied, pulling the man up and dragging him along towards the others, who were waiting by the sign. "You two ok? Did Wilbur really prove that much of a threat?" Techno asked jokingly, chuckling at the sight "He just got destroyed, wow" The voices started to grow even louder, spamming 'L' repeatedly for the revived man. "Yeah, anyways, Tubbo wants to say something. You two better talk it out in private" He muttered the last sentence, patting Ranboo on the shoulder as he grabbed Wilbur from him "I'll take care of him. Make sure he arrives in his cell, or at least, Philza will. Or maybe I could tie him to the wall inside the prison. Who knows" He shrugged "C'mon Phil, the sooner we get there the sooner the bell will be rang" Philza nodded again "Yeah coming"

"So..." Ranboo sighed, looking at Tubbo, who looked back "I heard you wanted to talk"
