Oblivion

Chapter 9 || The Void

(No pov)
!!Violence, blood!!

Dream stared up at Unreality as he was threatened. He stood up though and unsheathed his sword with a sigh.

Unreality grinned before snapping his fingers at the guards and pointing behind himself, the guards nodded and unsheathed or drew their own weapons, causing the SMP members to do the same.

They all stared at each other in a state of waiting for one side to strike first. Hallucination was the one to do so, she leapt at Ranboo with a cry and a raised scimitar, he luckily dodged her attack and sliced his own sword, causing both sides to attack.

Dream was immediately pushed back by Unreality, his own blade caught it before he could register it fully. He grunted before planting his feet and pushing him back, Dream then flexed his nails into their regular talon-like appearance and slashed at him.

Unreality dodged it again though and repaid Dream with a stab and a slash from a surprise weapon. Dream caught the slash but dodged the stab, he then parried it back a hitting Unreality with a wing.

Unreality faltered and Dream took the opportunity to tackle him to the ground and try and stab him, he succeeded luckily and pinned the commander down long enough to stab him with a thin knife in between the plates of armour.

Unreality yelled out and threw Dream off of him as he yanked the knife out with a hiss. They both jumped to their feet before lunging at each other again.

Karl was doing fairly well, he thought. It was incredibly difficult fighting a few highly trained soldiers at one, but he managed. Barely. He ducked as he saw one swing a spear at him, he grinned as he heard it hit another soldier.

He was never trained to be a full-on warrior, he was trained to travel and make the world better, and that was it. He knew some forms of self-defense and did train a bit, but he was nowhere near good enough to spar with any of the known fighters on the SMP.

So, he used his intelligence to fight instead of using his sword. He had it prepared though, he quickly dodged an incoming arrow from someone as he continued dancing around the blades.

He then jumped out of the way of a sword and straight into another guard with a yelp. The guard twisted around and snatched Karl's wrist in his fist, Karl hissed in pain but quickly slashed his sword diagonally for the guard to let go.

The guard dodged it though and parried the attack before shoving Karl to the ground and preparing to stab him. Quackity suddenly swooped in though and stabbed the guard through the side before kicking him away.

"Quackity!" Karl cried out happily before springing to his feet and hugging the duck, "Gods, I've missed you." He whispered, Quackity was quick to return the hug as he responded with, "I know you did, mi estrella."

Karl leaned into Quackity until their foreheads touched and they giggled, "I really want to, uh, kiss you right now." Karl said nervously, his lover giggled before leaning up to kiss him gently.

Karl made a happy noise before pulling Quackity in more, when they separated, they laughed to themselves. Karl then reconnected their lips happily.

It wasn't until they heard the familiar shink of someone getting stabbed seconds later that they stopped and looked up to see a Battalion soldier with a raised axe and a sword in their chest.

Quackity jumped back with a yelp as the soldier fell to the ground in front of them with the clatter of a sword and armour to reveal the person who'd saved their lives.
