"Hey Dream!" Tommy shouted out from the hall. "Eat your fata** potatoes". Dream looked to the side and back from his bed towards the front of the cell to see Tommy push a tray through the bars towards him. He gave an annoyed sigh and went back to facing the wall to plan on how to escape. Tommy entered the cell and walked in front of the bed facing Dream's back. "Get up you lazy idiot its 9 in the morning. If you don't, I'll pull you off" Tommy said getting a grip on Dream's hoodie.

"Tommy, let me be" Dream said sensing him grab the hoodie. Tommy gave a grin and tugged at it with all he had. To his surprise, Dream didn't budge. Tommy started to tug again and again to try and pull Dream out of his bed. Dream remained in his lying position and started to get annoyed. "Tommy let go of me and leave!"

"If you get up then I'll go!" Tommy said still trying to pull him off. After a bit more tugging Dream grabbed Tommy's arms and pushing him away stood up from the bed in a motion to give a punch to Tommy. Tommy avoided the swing and sent Dream punching the wall opposite of the cell.

"Ha, got you to get up!" Tommy said crossing his arms and grinning at Dream.

"You're so annoying" Dream whispered to himself heading back to the bed.

"Look today I just want you to revive Wilbur and end this ok?" Tommy said grabbing him by the wrist again.

"Tommy... I- I cannot revive anyone ok?! Now please will you leave me alone?" Dream said breaking out of Tommy grasp and sitting down on the bed facing Tommy in front.

"Awe has the ruthless god become weak?" Tommy said starting to tease him. He didn't say anything and continued to ignore the prince. "You know Dream, you f**ked up, you should've just ended the war back when it first started. That way you wouldn't have to deal with this, oh wait, you shouldn't have, because Dream..." Tommy bent down getting closer to his face that was now covered with his hands. "You deserve this. You deserve to suffer for all of this. Those wounds giving you pain is karma Dream. For everything you've done and everyone you've killed. The least you could do now is using those abilities for something good for once and reviving Wilbur." Tommy said flicking the bit of hair that fell in front of Dream's forehead. Dream looked up at Tommy and chuckled. Tommy lost his grin and was sent back to feeling nervous.

"You people always think you defeated me huh?" Dream said seeing Tommy start to back away towards the door.

"Dream... what the fuck are you talking about."

"did you seriously think I didn't know you were making this prison prior to the second fight?! Of course I knew you were making this shithole. And it only made sense to have a way to get out planned as well."

"No... You can't... You can't have a way to get out of here. This place is inescapable! You can't dig through those walls! Let alone just waltz out of here!"

"I may be in this small cell and trapped behind these bars, but even then I still have power over you and everyone else." Dream said and walked up to the barred window. He pulled out a small piece of flint in his hands, it had couple of hooks on it, and Tommy made it out to be part of the arrow head. He was confused on why he had the piece until Dream pulled out a dagger in his other hand.

"WHAT THE- HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET THAT!?" Tommy asked jumping back to see him have a weapon.

"Next time be sure not come to my cell with a dagger" He said pointing the dagger at Tommy's belt. Looking down Tommy saw the small scabbard holding his dagger was empty. He didn't question how Dream got the dagger and was more concerned on what he would do.

"When I ordered my men to trap L, Manburg with the explosives, they told me about the new prison. Of course I knew that you all were building it to house me because obviously you don't decide to make a prison with no intended purpose when you're in the middle of a war right? So I told my men to trap this place as well for if you put me in here."

"No... you cant. These walls are strong they can't fall down that easily."

"I agree, but the actual building structure isn't." Dream said and reached his hands out with the flint and dagger to the window sill. He struck the two together and a small spark lit up the room for a second before it disappeared and Tommy heard a sizzle. The sizzle continued and started to become distant. The sound started to seem to go underground. Tommy realized what was happening and jumped onto Dream sending both of them down to the floor and braced for impact. A violent shake and a thunderous sound ran through the building. The noise was so close yet sounded drowned. It continued for a minute or so and the both of them heard parts of the building cracking and falling apart. Tommy thought this was it. He closed his eyes tight and started to tear up knowing this was it. Not having anyone near apart from Dream, He grabbed onto him tight, scared. But then everything was quiet. He thought he was dead, he thought he was in the afterlife and didn't want to open the eyes. But he had to when he felt Dream pulling Tommy's grip off the hoodie. Tommy looked up around the cell. The cell amazingly stood up for the explosion and the only signs were a few cracks in place to place and small pieces of obsidian on the floor. Tommy hoped to get out of the prison and back to his family's safety but any chance of feeling safe was gone when he looked at the hall. It was blocked.
=====================================================================

"Hey Ghostbur, come on!" Technoblade called out to the spirit playing around with a few children by the town square. Ghostbur enjoyed playing with the innocent kids for they didn't mind him and would have his same childish mentality. Ghostbur left the group and returned to Technoblade who waited for him a bit away. "Come on. Tommy told me that today he was going to try and make Dream bring you back." Technoblade said as the both of them started to walk towards the kingdom. Ghostbur had been bought up to date with everything going on and was aware of them trying to bring him back. He didn't mind he would be bought back to life and though he didn't like to let go of the life with no worries, he wanted to be back. He was gone too soon, he still had so many desires Wilbur wanted to do, not Ghostbur.

"Tommy said that around now he would be at thecastle to bring you in for the revival. We'll just stay in the castle were notsure if Dream agreed yet. Or even can revive you." He said as they approachedthe front doors.

"Will it hurt?" Ghostbur asked like a child who was being taken to thehospital.

"I'm not sure Ghostbur. I don't know what revival feels like so I guess that'sfor you to find out. By the way did you see Tubbo?"

"Hmm I saw him hanging out with Ranboo. Actually ever since Dream had been inprison he's been out with Ranboo a lot. Guess Ranboo's he's friend now?"

They reached the front doors of the castle and entering it, Techno went toclose the doors. But right as he did he heard an explosion and the floor shook.

"TECHNOBLADE... WHA- WHAT WAS THAT?!" Ghostbur asked freaking out and grabbingonto him. Technoblade looked down the hall towards the prison. He felt theexplosion from there and knew something was wrong. Running down the hall, theyran into Philza midway who came onto the same floor from the stairs.

"TECHNO WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!?" Philza asked becoming nervous and runningdown the hall behind him alongside Ghostbur.

"I don't know, but I know it came from the prison."

They came to the corner and turning they came to an immediate halt almostslipping on the carpet. There was a group of guards in front of the entrance tothe prison. A few of them pulling out the two guards who were unfortunate to becaught in the debris upfront. The entrance to Pandora's vault was covered bythe broken walls of the castle. The doors not visible at all and crushed behindthe debris. Technoblade ran through the crowd and up to a small crack betweenthe debris. He tried to pull away at the broken bricks, cutting himself on thesharp corners, but he didn't give up on trying to get to Tommy.

"TOMMY" Technoblade repeatedly called out trying to hear out for an answer.Pulling a few bricks away he saw the inside of the prison, barely but all hesaw was the above floor and roof collapsed in and filling the hallway, none ofthe cells visible. Philza and Ghostbur came up and seeing the inside thoughtthe worst but Technoblade didn't give up. He turned around and ordered all themen there to start on getting rid of the rubble and reaching to the cell. The guards obeying took off. Technoblade andthe others left the dreaded hall, wondering how this happened and fearing Tommyand Dream were dead. But unbeknownst to them, Dream and Tommy, the secondtemporary inmate, were still alive and only trapped in the cell.
