Somewhere...

Tommy shakily held his iron sword, the durability already shining in the reds. "So, have you given up, little one?" Tommy sighed. "No. Come at me, asshole." The figure he was facing smirked, his enchanted Netherite sword gleaming in his hand. "You asked for it." He muttered, lunging towards the boy as Tommy raised his sword to shield the blow, before the blade broke as the god's sword clashed against it. The blow knocked Tommy down, as he fell onto the hard stone floor. The teen groaned, before the cold blade rested at his neck. "Surrender?" Tommy chuckled. "In your dreams." The winged figure smiled.

"You're so annoying." He muttered, swinging the sword upwards. Tommy closed his eyes, accepting his death, but it never came. A clash of swords were heard, before he opened his eyes to see Dream fighting the figure. "Your target is me! Do not harm my friends, you asshole!" Dream yelled, as the figure's sword flew from his hand and Dream's blade rested against his neck. "Ugh, you always win." The figure chuckled, before disappearing into the shadows. Dream sighed, before turning to the exhausted Tommy. He kneeled in front of the teen, a small smile on his face. "You look like shit." Tommy chuckled tiredly, as Dream handed him a Health potion. "Drink up."

Tommy drank the potion slowly, as Dream looked around. "Who was that?" Tommy asked, after he regained some of his energy from the potion. "A god version of George. Commonly known as Georgie." Dream said softly, as Tommy blinked. "What?" Dream chuckled. "You think Prime church was a joke, which it is, but gods do exist in this world. We all have our own versions, with yours being Tom, the god of mischief, Tubbo's being Toby, the god of nature and plantation, Wilbur's being the god of music and chaos and Techno is already a god." Tommy blinked. Dream smiled, before Tommy slowly felt sleepy. "Oh you prick..." Tommy muttered, as he fell over, sleeping soundly.

Dream sighed, before spotting Tommy's red and white Communicator in one of the corners, picking it up and slipping it into Tommy's pocket. "Right, let's go back home." Dream hummed, as he picked up the teen and teleported back to the SMP. "Dream! You found him!" Wilbur, always the first to spot him, said, as Dream laid the teen into the bed. "Yeah. He was knocked out in a cave. Probably got caught with some mobs or something." Dream said, as Wilbur sighed in relief. "Thank Ender. I thought he was trapped somewhere." Dream smiled.

"Even if he was, I can always go get him." Wilbur chuckled. "Yeah, with your godly powers, right?" Dream nods, before he went away, leaving Wilbur with the sleeping teen. "You told Tommy? Isn't that dangerous?" XD asked, as he appeared beside him. "Yeah. It's not like he'll remember anyways, my powers erased that part from his memory." Dream said, making XD sigh. "You are so reckless. And you are even more reckless, Georgie." Georgie, who had a small bump on his head from being whacked on the head by XD, rolled his eyes. "What, he was right there and I haven't fought in a while."

XD and Dream stared at him. "What?" XD laughed softly. "Did Pandas beat you in another rematch?" Georgie pouted. "You guys really don't believe that I can win, huh?" Dream and XD shook their heads, while Georgie rolled his eyes. He then vanished, before XD vanished too. Dream sighed, shaking his head. "They need to stop doing that." He mumbled, before leaving in a puff of purple particles.

"Ugh..." Tommy mumbled, as he woke up. He then recognised where he was, sitting up in an instant. "Ow, ow, ow. Bad idea..." He hissed, as his whole body shot up in pain. He then laid back down, sighing. "Wow, that was pathetic." Tommy jumped, as Tubbo chuckled. "How long was I out for?" Tommy asked, as Tubbo sat down on the end of the bed, a bowl of stew in his hands. "You've been asleep for 5 days, don't worry. Eat this. And don't worry, New L'Mnaburg is finished already." Tommy blinked, as Tubbo handed him the bowl. "What. How, I've only been asleep for five days." Tubbo smiled.

"Wilbur and Techno made a bet, who could finish building L'Manburg first. And Techno won by a landslide, since he helped build all of the houses and the main buildings, while Wilbur was filling up the lake with water and coral and tropical fishes. Wanna see?" Tommy hummed. "Of course I do! But let me eat first." He said, as Tubbo nodded. As he ate, Tubbo told him the other things that happened while he was resting, Tommy reacting at appropriate moments when the situation needed it.

"Also, Dream had told me he was going to add another member to the SMP in 2 days!" Tubbo said, as Tommy paused eating his stew. "Really?! How old are they?" He asked excitedly, as Tubbo chuckled. "They're definitely older than you, Toms. He's like the same age as me." Tubbo said, as Tommy sighed. "I'm still the youngest..." He drooped, making Tubbo chuckle. "At least you have that. Dream also told me he's like, a hybrid! But I'm not sure what type, Dream didn't tell me that part." Tubbo said, as Tommy hummed. "How cool would it be if he was an Ender hybrid? Since Dream closed off the End and all." Tommy chuckled, as he continued to eat his stew.

"Yeah, that'd be pretty cool, honestly." Tubbo nodded, before they moved on to a different topic.
