Why Me? {Magical Boys Benchtrio}

I'm about to hitzpitsbackle the fuck outta someone

Tubbo smiled as he and Ranboo chased off the last few Smilers that attacked. They had been following the tracking spell to the axe for the past week, and every other day Smilers would attack. And every other day Ranboo and Tubbo would transform and chase them off.

Tommy pouted as he leaned against a tree, "this isn't fair. Why do you two get cool powers and I don't!?"

Ranboo laughed as he turned back into his human form, clipping the scythe onto his ear, "you dont have a weapon."

"You really should get one." Tubbo smirked as he tossed his necklace over his head.

Tommy pushed himself off the tree, "then let's find the fuckin axe!"

Ranboo sighed, "were trying Tommy. But we're also trying to make sure no one else gets kidnapped and hurt."

Tubbo rubbed his injured arm lightly. A few days after he was bitten, an infection set in. Ranboo did some sort of magic stuff on it that seemed to stop the infection. After that, Ranboo was adamant about checking the injury every day. But Tubbo could feel the infection coming back, even if there were no physical symptoms. It was worse today. He felt tired, sick. There was a slight ache around the wound as well. Tubbo didn't tell Ranboo though, not wanting to halt their progress.

Ranboo sighed, waving his hand to let the particles glow again, "It continues this way. Let's go."

"Finally." Tommy rolled his eyes, following the glowing purple specks, "I want this fuckin axe!"

"It's not a toy Tommy!" Ranboo huffed, falling in step with the blonde boy, "it's a thousand year old weapon with enough power to rip a hole in space and time."

"It gives me wings!" Tommy insisted, "it's like redbull! Like what Ninja endorses!"

"Who's Ninja!?" Ranboo yelled back.

Tommy gasped dramatically, "how dare you speak such slander!"

Tubbo smiled softly as he watched his friends. They seemed to be getting along well. He was a little worried at first, Tommy isn't exactly the easiest person to get along with.

"Tubbo!" Tommy yelled back, "you coming!?"

Tubbo laughed lightly, jogging to catch up to his friends, "yeah!"

"Are you okay?" Ranboo gave Tubbo a small smile.

"Of course boss man!" Tubbo smiled back.

Before Ranboo could say anything else, Tommy gasped loudly. The blonde boy was gawking up at a large hollow tree. The wood was burned with lightning patters, but surprisingly the upper portion of the tree was still alive.

"Woah!" Tommy grinned, "this is awesome!"

"Yo, giant tree." Tubbo laughed lightly, walking up beside Tommy.

Ranboo hummed as he walked up to the tree, "something doesn't feel right..."

"Oh come on Ranboob!" Tommy taunted, taking a step inside, "nothing bad is going to happen! This could be our base camp!"

"I have a really bad feeling about this..." Ranboo told them.

Tubbo dragged Ranboo into the tree, "come on! Its just a cool tree!"

As soon as Ranboo stepped into the tree, he knew it wasn't normal. He could practically feel the magic coming off of the charred wood, if it was even wood at all. Something wasn't right.

"We need to leave. Now." Ranboo said, trying to back out of the tree.

"Ranboo!" Tubbo tugged the taller further into the tree, "you're overreacting! It's a normal tree!"

"It's a cool tree!" Tommy smiled, running his fingers across the burn patterns.

"There's something off here!" Ranboo nearly yelled, "please just trust me!"

"Ranboo there's nothing-" Tubbo started.

A loud screeching sounded above them. Purple light beamed down from a line appearing in the sky. The line slowly widened, creating a large, swirling, purple opening above the boys.

"R-ranboo..." Tommy stepped closer to the tall boy, "is-is this your magic shit?"

Ranboo stared wide eyed at it, "it's a rift..."

"Is that bad?" Tubbo asked.

"Probably?" Ranboo shrugged lightly, "but... Maybe it's Phil! Maybe he escaped!"

A hand reached out of the rift. A human hand. Then an arm that looked like they were wearing a suit. Tubbo's eyes widened when the person dropped down in front of them.

"That was the person in my dream..." Tubbo whispered, wide eyed.

Ranboo nodded, "Schlatt..."

The man straightened up, a sadistic grin on his face. He looked different from Tubbo's dream, older, and in a suit instead of a blue sweater. Schlatt raised his arm as if he was unsheathing something. Green light formed a sword in his hand that he raised level with the boys.

"Schlatt!" Ranboo called, "I-I thought you were captured with Techno! H-How-!?"

Schlatt lunged at the boys without a word.

"I don't think he's here to talk!" Tommy yelled as they jumped out of the way.

Ranboo grabbed his two friends, "let's get our of here!"

They turned to where the opening was, just to see charred wood staring back at them. Ranboo felt his heart sink. They were trapped in here with one of the legendary wielders.

"It-its fine." Ranboo tried to control his breathing as he grabbed the scythe.

Tubbo grabbed his arm as Schlatt walked over, "are you sure?"

Ranboo nodded, transforming in a flash of light, "yeah. I'll protect you."

"Good, because..." Tubbo swayed on his feet, "I'm not feeling too good..."

"Toby!" Tommy screamed as his friend fell.
