Upon the Ruins of a Broken World II A Dreamsmp AU

To Freedom

Miss Captain froze as Tommy placed himself before the gun. Tubbo stared at him in wonder.

"What are you doing boy?" She asked softly. 

"Freeze." 

Tommy froze as he felt metal touch the back of his head. Here he was, standing up for another person and look what happened. 

Miss Captain glowered at the man behind Tommy. 

With a shake of her head, her hair came loose and with it, her body transformed. Tommy stared at her. Her knees had turned backwards and as she shook of her boots, her hoofs clopped to the floor. A small white tail peeked out from a hole in her pants and her pupils turned into horizontal spheres. 

"You're a Hybrid..." Tommy breathed. How was that possible? She had been human barely two seconds ago. 

"Lower that gun, fool, or I will shoot you," Miss Captain said, addressing Todd. 

"But I might get him before you get me." Todd said softly, though Tommy could hear an uncertain tremor in his voice. 

"Tubbo, get ready, I have a feeling we're going to be going out in a hurry." 

Tubbo nodded and Tommy watched as his human features slipped away like a whisper in the wind. His ears became like those of a ram, as did his eyes. Two small horns poked out from his brown hair. 

He kicked of his shoes and Tommy saw that his legs too were brown with fur. He had hooves.

'Wait.' Tommy mouthed to the Captain. Miss Captain looked at him strangely but seemed to see the plea in his eyes. She nodded. 

"What do you want me to do?" She asked him. 

"Lower your gun." He said, keeping his gaze level despite the fear in his stomach. 

"What?!" She demanded.

"Lower your gun," He said again. "Please." 

Miss Captain looked from him to his captor, seemingly torn between what she wanted to do and what he was asking. She sighed and nodded in defeat, lowering her gun. 

Slowly, his hands... claws in the air, Tommy turned until he was facing Todd. 

The man had thin beads of sweat coming off his forehead and was his eyes were flicking around nervously. 

"Please, Todd," Tommy said. "Please let me go." 

"I--I can't, if they know what I did, they'll throw me in prison," The black man said, sorrow and regret on his face. 

"I have a family, Tommy, I need to keep them safe." 

"They'll be safe, I'll make sure of that." 

"What do you mean?" Todd asked, slightly lowering the gun. 

"We could make this all seem like an accident, Todd." 

Todd completely lowered the gun and looked at Tommy, looked at all of Tommy. His eyes, fangs, wings, tail, claws, spikes. 

"How?" He asked. 

"I don't know." Tommy said stepping back. 

"Okay so, how do we make it seem like an accident?" Todd asked. Miss Captain leapt forward and punched him under the jaw. Todd's head shot backward and he slumped to the floor, unconscious. 

Tommy looked at Miss Captain in horror. 

"What the hell, Miss Captain?!" He asked. 

"Had to make it look legit, Tommy," She said and eyed him. "And it's Captain Puffy to you." 

Tubbo finally opened his mouth to speak. 

"What kind of Hybrid are you, Tommy, wow!" He exclaimed, running up to his friend. Tommy shoved him away. 

"You could have told me you were a Hybrid, Tubbo." He said angrily, hurt and betrayal prominent on his face.

"We had to make sure you were one first, Tommy." Tubbo said apologetically. 

"Come on boys, let's get out of here." Captain Puffy said as she pulled clothes from a backpack. What seemed like a Captain's cloak and pirate hat came out and Puffy put them on. 

She looked at Tommy. 

"We need to get some clothes for you, here." She threw him a shirt and pants. The shirt was white with red shoulder and the pants were a dark beige.

"Why?" He asked. 

"You're shirt is in tatters, Tommy, probably from the wings." Tubbo said and ripped the ruined shirt from Tommy's back. 

"How am I supposed to put this on?" Tommy asked, looking at his huge wings. 

"The shirt is made for winged people like you and the pants were made to occupy tails." Captain Puffy said as she pulled a scimitar from the bag. 

Tommy pulled on the shirt and Tubbo helped him button the shirt. Tommy pulled on the new pants. They fit quite snugly.

"Okay," Captain Puffy said, dropping the backpack to the ground and pulling her blade from it's scabbard. 

"Let's go."
