The Hunters

To Hunt or be Hunted

After we split up, me and Tommy started walking around the palace. "Hey, want to check out the entrance hall?"

"Tommy that's stupid, we were specifically told not to enter the Palace," I scolded him.

"Yeah, but think how fun it would be! Besides we won't leave the entrance," he said.

"I'm only going because I know I can't stop you," I said sighing, and in all honesty I wanted to see what a God's house looked like.

It was massive. The door was a thick dark oak with gold carvings surrounding it. The entrance hall was even cooler. It was filled with paintings, statutes, and other artwork.

If that wasn't enough, every piller was solid Netherite with gold accents. The biggest picture was at the bottom of the stairs. It looked to be all of the people whoo lived there once upon a time.

I saw SapNap, Quackity, BadBoyHalo, Skeppy, and Ranboo himself, and they were all smiling or laughing. Of course there was some I didn't recognize, like a hunter-like thing that wore a piglin mask, or a baby zombie pigmin that was hugging Ranboo, but the thing that stuck out to me was the man that stood to Ranboo's right.

"'e looks a lot like you Tubs," Tommy said pointing to him. He did look like me. Same burns, same horns, the only difference was that he was genuinely smiling, which I haven't done in forever.

"Yeah, yeah he does," I said as my eyes drifted to someone else. The figure was painted over but was still clear enough. It was my father who has tried to kill me multiple times, "Jschlatt," I said.

"You know 'im?" Tommy questioned.

"I wish I didn't," I said. At that moment there was a shout.

"Why the fuck would they suddenly decide to attack the hunter school!" It screamed followed by a familiar, 'Language!'

We looked at each other and simultaneously started walking towards the shouting.

I didn't know who was at the table but I knew what was. The monster lords, missing only the werewolf and angel lords, I made a mental note of. Because the angels were in division 7 currently, the werewolves were the only ones out of place.

Right at the head of the table, in the center of it all, was as Dream called him, the personification of the Yin and Yang symbol himself, Ranboo, he was also the next one to speak, "All I want to know is what the conditions are, do they have anyone, when do they plan to do this, ect."

"They plan to do it within the hour, and they have two hunter hostages," Bad explained to him.

"Which hunters?" Ranboo asked rubbing his temples.

"They are in one of the classes I teach, Dream and Georgenotfound they-," if Bad planned to say more he didn't, as he was cut off by me and Tommy gasping followed by us both covering our mouths.

"Who is there? Come out!" Ranboo commanded. Tommy almost followed.

"Tommy. Snap out of it and run, you're just being affected by his influence, " I said, running myself. The way our took longer because I took a wrong turn.

It was practically a battle of who could overpower who in Tommy's head in which Ranboo won. He stopped dead in his tracks as I ducked into a room with the door cracked enough to see what was happening.

He raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything until Bad joined him. "The other one is somewhere here. I've locked all the doors and windows, there is no escape. Find him please."

Bad simply nodded and headed to the closest room. Where I was. As I ran deeper I realized I was in a huge library. In the back was a door and I prayed to Lady Luck this worked. She must have been on my side because the door swung open.
