The pain in my arm had faded to a dull ache by the time we reached the Camarvan where everyone was gathered. All four of us - Techno, Dream, the man called Foolish and I - stepped into the van. Techno and Dream pushed their way to the front and I followed closely behind them. Schlatt was standing, cornered into the wall, holding a crossbow defensively. 

"You guys try anything and I will shoot you!" He yelled. He looked at Quackity. "Why are you doing this? I thought we were friends!" 

Quackity wore a pained expression on his face. "I thought so too Schlatt. But you treated me like shit! We could've done so much together, we could've had everything, but you fucking ruined it!" He said, raising his voice. Schlatt opened his mouth to say something but then caught sight of Dream. 

"You!" Schlatt said angrily. "You were supposed to be on my side!"

 I noticed that he had cuts and blood all over him, as well as a swollen lip. I suddenly realized that he was leaning slightly and saw a wound in his leg. He had to be in intense pain right now.

Dream didn't flinch or react. However, Techno brought up his crossbow, pointing it at Schlatt. Schlatt looked outraged. 

"Y-you've teamed with the opposition!" He lowered the crossbow and pointed at Dream accusingly. "You are a traitor! Someone, kill him!" He shouted frantically at Sapnap and the others who were pushed to the back of the crowd. He and George both just shrugged. 

"You really think that they would listen to you?" Dream said, amused. "They're with me, Schlatt. You have no power over them. It was never your army." Dream said, stepping closer to him. "It was mine."

Schlatt fired the shot, the arrow burying itself in Dream's left shoulder, causing Dream to stumble backwards a little. Techno also released his shot, his arrow shooting Schlatt in the side. Schlatt let out a yell of fury and clutched his arm in pain. 

"You are actually teaming with them?" Schlatt spat at Dream. Dream took out a healing potion and drank it, making his arm heal. 

"Well, you see," Dream said as he threw the glass bottle on the ground, causing it to smash. "Me and Techno here...we had a deal."

"Yeah, trust me, I hate this guy." Techno said. "I would never side with him unless it was for a good reason." 

Schlatt looked from Dream to Techno and I could see it on his face that the puzzle pieces were coming together. 

"The two strongest fighters in the world," Said Schlatt, half amused. "Infatuated by a mere girl-" 

Schlatt didn't get to finish his sentence as his eyes widened and blood soaked his clothes, starting from his abdomen and spreading rapidly in the shape of a black rose. 

The flower which symbolized death.

Schlatt fell to the floor, clutching his wound and behind him stood Tubbo, sword in hand, dripping with blood. 

"You can go to hell, bitch." He said coldly. 

"Yeah bitch!" Came Tommy's voice from somewhere in the crowd. Someone - probably Niki - shushed him.

"Any last words Schlatt?" Dream said, stepping forwards. Schlatt looked at him from the floor and took a look at everyone surrounding him. 

Something in his eyes told me that he knew this was the end. He knew that this was it. Before, there was nothing behind his eyes, a cold state of emptiness, but now, now there was something. A tiny, sliver of fear lurked behind those brown eyes. This is where his story ended. 

"Does anyone smell...toast?" 

And that was it. Schlatt's eyes grew glassy and his head lolled to one side, his heart beating for the last time ever.
