Hope (Tommyinnit winged AU)

Army

The night before...

Dream raced down the hall of the capital building. He burst into Tubbo's office and met the eyes of Ranboo, Fundy, Quackity, and the president himself.

Dream fell to his knees in front of Tubbo, sobbing. Tubbo watched with a face of confusion and a bit of disgust. "Dream? What happened?" Fundy asked.

"T-Tommy! They took Tommy!"

The room grew silent, the aura of shock hanging in the dense air.

"Who?" Tubbo asked.

"Techno, Philza, and Ghostbur. And a spy from L'Manburg!"

Quackity stepped forward, kneeling in front of and putting his hands on the man. "Dream, we need to know. Who was the spy?"

Through hiccups, Dream pointed a shaking hand at Ranboo, who gaped at his accuser. "He took my first canon life, and helped Technoblade kidnap Toms." He looked around and found the others staring at him, some with confusion and others with pure rage. Tubbo's look was the latter.

The hybrid backed up slowly, towards the door. "N-No... I didn't-" He turned quickly, flinging himself through the door and down the hall.

"AFTER THE TRAITOR!" Tubbo screamed, chasing his friend.

Ranboo looked back at his fellow L'Manburgians, all pursuing him. Dream stood at the door of the office, smiling wolfishly and giving a small wave.

Ranboo gulped, but kept running. That look Tubbo gave him... it hurt. His lungs hurt, his head hurt, his throat hurt, his legs... every part of his body screamed in anguish, and he didn't know why. He burst through the doors of the capital building, taking a wring turn and heading for the docks.

Ranboo met the end of the docks, his breath caught in his throat. He couldn't jump, it would be too painful and he wouldn't be able to swim far before they caught him. He couldn't fight them, the teenager wasn't strong at all. He was cornered, with only one choice, one that he hated to do.

The hybrid closed his eyes, focusing all his attention on his enderman side. The others were getting closer, closer, their arms reaching out to pull him down-

Tubbo watched as his friend teleported away. He growled, turning to the others. "Fundy, take Friend to Niki's house and burn Philza’s. Quackity, find anyone who is willing to fight Techno, they don't have to be just L'Manburgians. Also, I want an execution platform built on the docks." The others nodded, rushing off to bring out their orders. Tubbo turned on his heel to head to the armoury.

Behind him, Dream grinned, chuckling. What a pawn Tubbo was. He had underestimated the president. It was all falling into place. Now, he just needed to get back his queen peice.

Sorry for the short chapter! The next one's gonna be pretty long, don't worry.
