Dream thought he had been ready for this Nether trip. As he explored, however, his shield had broke. Now, he carefully went around, hoping to find a Nether Fortress. He was running low on supplies, so if he didn't find one soon, he would have to turn around and go find his portal.

Instead, he found three kids. All three seemed to be hybrids of different kinds. Dream himself was an axolotl hybrid, which is why he had many water bottles with him. He put away his weapon and approached them slowly.

"Hey," He greeted, getting their attention, "Are you guys lost?"

A little blond piglin, a brunette hoglin, and an oreo of an enderman all looked up at him. Before he could get any closer, he heard the sound of a ghast crying out as it fired. Turning to see, Dream realized it had aimed at the three kids. Without a second thought, he threw himself in front of the fireball.

Dream most likely wasn't going to survive this.

But a shadow quickly covered him and the fireball never hit. Turning around, he was greeted by an armored chest.

Stepping back in alarm caused whoever it was to growl, looking up he was met with the face of a piglin brute hybrid. The fear and anxiety coursing through him caused his body to heat up which was not good considering the already hot environment. Dream's tail moved anxiously as his hands shook. Quickly going for a water bottle much to the towering piglin hybrid's confusion.

His head spun as he tried to drink it and as the spinning got worse he felt his knees give out. Not able to bring the water bottle up. Dream barely registered two of the kids saying something to the brute before he felt himself being picked up. Soon, he was being settled down in area that was only lit up by a single torch before the water bottle he had been holding was brought up to his lips.

It didn't give him much reprieve from his situation and pretty soon he was out like a light.

Techno didn't think much of going to the Nether with his three sons. Tommy, Tubbo, and Ranboo were good kids, though they could be little troublemakers if they wanted to. Donning golden armor, they said goodbye to Philza, their neighbour who the kids had come to call Grandpa, much to Techno's dismay.

As he talked with a close by group of piglins, they lived around there and even had a few other Nether hybrids in their tribe, the three wandered off. Now as he finished up polite conversations, he had to find them.

Maybe once he does, he'll ground them.

The sound of a ghast preparing to fire brought his attention to where his kids were, with a stranger no less. Before he could react, the ghast did. Techno watched as this axolotl hybrid jumped in front of it before he ran in to raise his shield. Protecting the idiot who was about to get killed.

Once it was over, the guy turned and if he wasn't so close to his kids at the moment, Techno would've laughed at their height difference. The man came up to his chest, to be fair, Philza barely did, but he was a piglin brute hybrid after all.

He half expected the guy to go for his weapon after he growled at him, but all he got was a panicked look and heavy breathing before he grabbed a bottle of his potion belt. However, it was just water which could pose a danger to Ranboo, but the intention was clear as the guy tried to take a drink.

After the failure to do so, the axolotl fell to his knees.

"Dad!" Tubbo spoke up, "Please help him, he tried to help us!"

"Yeah! That's what you always tell us to do right? 'Those that treat you with kindness, repay that kindness tenfold and shit'."

That wasn't exactly what he said... But Tommy was right. The guy did try to help, even willing to sacrifice his life. So Techno dug a hole into Netherrack, so no more ghasts would bother them. Ranboo placed a torch to light it up as Techno carried the axolotl in.

He managed to get the water down, but it didn't help his condition in the slightest. Very soon afterwards, the man slumped forward, against Techno's chest. He was still heavily breathing even in sleep, so the brute did what anyone in his situation would...

Techno brought him to Philza.
