30 Years (DSMP)

Chapter 21 - It Was Never Meant To Be

!!!_TW_ Blood and graphic descriptions!!!
"The general told me to take you two back to L, Manburg"

"But what about Technoblade!?" Tommy asked jumping straight from his crouched position.

"He didn't tell me he just told me to leave. Either way I have to take you two back. Come on." Tubbo said and placed Tommy and Ranboo's arm on both his shoulders and slowly carried them back home. They soon reached the bit of plain before the small hill that was right next to L, Manburg. "Were here guys! Just hold on a bit..." They reached the edge of the hill, but what they saw, made it clear for them that Dream had no intention of waiting until 'all else fails'.
=====================================================================

"You know Wilbur, you did a sh*t job on telling Tubbo to take Tommy and Ranboo back to
L, Manchildburg." Dream said watching him and Philza fight Technoblade.

"What the f**k are you talking about and don't ever call that town 'L Manchildburg' again."

"well, you thought you were sending your brother and friends to safety? You thought that your people were safe in that underground shelter?" There was a pause.

"DREAM WHAT THE F**K DID YOU DO!?" said Philza as he marched up to Dream.

"Oh, you could say that your plans of winning this fight, going home in triumphant and finally ending the grudge, that little plan," He pulled out something. "It was never meant to be" He said with a smile while twirling a stick of dynamite between his fingers.

They heard multiple explosions in the distance.

"TOMMY" Philza and Wilbur screamed out. They completely got rid of Dream from their mind and dropping their weapons, ran off towards L, Manburg.

Dream smiled as he saw them run off. "Well, that was fun, Techno? Let's go home, and I saw a village while we were coming here, what do you say we drop by?" He said as both of them walked off alone leaving his army behind on the blood stained plains.
=====================================================================

"TOMMY, TUBBO, RANBOO" Wilbur and Philza repeatedly screamed as they ran and flew over to L, Manburg.

"PLEASE, NO, NO, NO, NO PLEASE GOD TELL ME THAT THERE SAFE" Wilbur said as he ran almost tripping over a corpse.

As they approached L, Manburg, the smell of gunpowder and smoke got stronger. Coming to the edge of the hill, the image they saw would never leave their memory. The entire town of L, Manburg had a crater at least every 10 feet. Nearly all the houses had some sort of destruction, either just shattered windows or the entire bottom floor gone and the top floor about to collapse. Most of the dynamite had been placed right outside the underground shelter. The sight of the innocent people blown apart in a second, was brutal.

"Where's Tommy?" Wilbur asked looking at Phil.

"I'll go check hold on..." Phil said and flew off. Wilbur fell onto his knees on the hill seeing all the destruction and feeling crushed. Everything they did, fighting the other army, all that training and preparing was all gone in a second.

"TOMMY AND THE OTHERS ARE ALIVE! There on the edge of this hill as well, just a bit farther. Come on" Philza said flying back and started walking towards them with Wilbur. They walked a bit and soon saw the 3 boys in the distance.
=====================================

"Tubbo you ok?" Tommy said helping Tubbo up, who had fallen backwards for the shockwave. Ranboo was staring at the damage in dismay. As Tubbo stood he saw the damage for the first time. The craters, the houses and the corpses. Seeing the parts of the people spread for the explosion and blood splattered in multiple places, was a bit too much for him. Covering his mouth and collapsing onto his knees, Tubbo couldn't help but throw up.

"Woah...!" Tommy said noticing him fall and start to gag, and kneeled down beside him. "Its ok Tubbo...let it all come, this is hard for all of us..." Tommy said while rubbing Tubbo's back and pulling his hair back.

"ARE YOU GUYS O- Woah! Is Tubbo ok!?" Wilbur asked as he ran up to them and slowed down as he saw Tubbo cough up blood and the contents in his stomach.

"Yeah, yeah his fine, this view is just a bit much I guess...You feeling better?" Tommy asked him as he finished and slowly started to try and get up.

"Y- Yeah, yeah, I'm fine... I just needed to...I'm just a bit squeamish I gue-" and Tubbo fell back onto the floor again.

"Alright Tubbo, I don't think you should continue with us for the rest of the fight, I'm pretty sure this is too much for you" Tommy said sitting Tubbo down after he finished his second round.

"What!? No way! I am definitely coming to complete the fight with you" He said staggering to his feet.

"No Tubbo, you're unwell, you shouldn't force yourself."

"Tommy, I'm just a little squeamish, I'm fine now"

"Even if you do, it doesn't matter, the fight's over" Philza said walking up to them.

"What the- what do you mean?! We are NOT going to let Dream get away with THIS?!" Tommy said pointing at the destruction.

"I know but Dream's gone. I flew back to see if he was there but he left. With Technoblade..."

"So, it's over...? We... lost...?" Wilbur asked looking at the destruction.

"No" Ranboo said, standing up straight ignoring the throbbing pain in doing so.

"Listen to me, we can still take revenge. I know where he is, we can hunt him down and kill him"

"No, it's over Ranboo, we should've known that Dream always win. I guess all we can do is try to rebuild the town?" Tommy said looking at Wilbur.

"Are you really going to give up now!? What about the King?! Your brother!? What happened to ending the war and the winner being you!?"

"RANBOO WE DON'T EVEN HAVE A GODDAMN ARMY" Wilbur said gripping onto Ranboo's collar.

"We do Wilbur."

"What the- what do you mean!? When Dream's army was taken out and done everyone headed back here! And have you seen here? THERES NO ONE! EVERONES DEAD. THE PROOF MADE TUBBO THROW UP" Philza said furiously gripping onto his own face.

"If you trust me, follow me" Ranboo said and headed off in to the forest nearby.

"Do we follow him?" Tubbo asked Tommy.

"Well, he seems to be on our side so far. And we really have nothing else to do right? We might as well" He said and all four of them followed Ranboo.

"Wait... No, no, no, NO, NO, N- MY, MY SISTER! WHERE- SHE- LANI!" Tubbo sobbed and started to run back towards the town.

"TUBBO, STOP" Tommy said catching up to him and jumping in front of him grabbing his arms.

"LET ME GO! SHE'S THERE! PLEASE SHE ISN"T GONE! SHE'S- THERE PLEASE, I NEED TO SEE HER, I CANT LOSE HER. I CANT- I CA- I-"

"TUBBO LISTEN TO ME, AS PAINFUL AS IT IS SHE'S GONE! NO ONE IS HERE EXEPT US! PLEASE TUBBO EVEN IF YOU STAYED HOME WITH HER THERES NO WAY WE COULDVE STOPPED THIS! YOU WOULDVE JUST DIED ALONG WITH HER! PLEASE!"

"NO! I CANT LOSE HER! SHE'S ALL I HAVE TOMMY, LET ME GO" Tubbo feeling defeated and trying to break out of Tommy grip.

"Tubbo... It's over, you can either stay here and mope over her, or you can come with us and get revenge on Dream for doing this." Tommy said forcing Tubbo to stand still and face him. It hurt him to see his friend with tear stained cheeks and go through all that pain. But he knew that those two were the only options any of them had at that point. There was a moment of silence.

"Let's go kill that stupid mofo."
