"Ranb-er, Ran?" Tubbo asked quietly. "Do... do you remember what Techno said?"

"What?" Ran asked, walking slower to catch up to Tubbo. "About... what?"

"About knowing where Michael is."

"Oh, I mean, kind of," Ran shrugged. "Why?"

Tubbo lowered his voice and looked around before responding. "He said he'd show us where Michael is if... if we killed Wilbur."

Ran's eyes flicked red but smoothly wiped back over to green. "Do you want to? To find Michael, do you want to kill him?"

"I don't want to kill him!" Tubbo whisper-yelled, angry. "But if I have to..."

"Whatcha' talking about?" Tommy said, appearing out of nowhere. He must have ran up to catch them. 

"Nothing," Tubbo mumbled. 

"About Wilbur," Ran said, frowning. 

"Oh," Tommy said, confused. "Why?"

Before Tubbo could respond, Ranboo jumped in. "Do you want to find Michael?"

"I mean," Tommy responded. "Yes? That's why I'm here, after all-"

"We have to kill Wilbur."

Tommy's eye's widened. "Why?!?"

Ran rolled his eyes. "Because I want to." Tommy almost screamed but Ran covered his mouth. "No, because Techno said he'd help us if we kill him, Tommy. I was being sarcastic."

"B-but," Tommy stammered. "I mean, I c-care about Michael, b-but not as m-much as I care a-about Wilbur!"

"So you don't care about me or Tubbo?!?" Ran cried, hurt. Almost too hurt, like it was an act. "I can't believe you."

"I mean..." Tommy looked at his hands. "Wilbur died once. Do we have to again?"

"Tommy, look," Ran said, stopping. Tubbo stopped as well, and Ran got onto his knees to face the blonde. "There are two ways this can go. Either we kill Wilbur and get Michael back, or we kill you and Wilbur, and we still get Michael back. It's up to you."

"But-" Tubbo started. Ran gave him a look, and Tubbo shied away.

Tommy looked back and Wilbur, who was arguing with Quackity, almost purposely antagonizing him as if he liked the way that Quackity fought back. "But he hasn't done anything wrong."

"Apparently not to Techno," Ran pointed out. "I'll give you until we find Techno. Then your choice must be made." Ran smiled in a menacing way. "And I hope you plan to stay alive."

Tommy whimpered and walked to Tubbo's side, staying silent.

...

"We're here!" Announced Ran, smiling. 

They had traveled from the heart of the Jungle to the desert, one no one had explored yet. Ran pointed to a small sandstone shack. Cacti circled the shack, probably to mark the area in case sand covered the shack.

"I've decided," Tommy muttered quietly.

"You have, have you?" 

Tommy jumped at the sound of Wilbur's voice. "What was the big idea? What did you decide?"

"Wilbur," Ran said, smiling. "It's time to go."

"W-what do you mean?" Wilbur laughed nervously. 

"We have priorities. Sorry man," Ran said. Ran grabbed Wilbur by the throat and lifted him into the air. With a swift *snap* Wilbur's head lolled to the side. 

"NO!" Tommy cried as Ran dropped the body. Tommy curled up next to the non-breathing man. "Nonononono Wilbur, fuck no-" Tommy wiped his eyes, muttering something like 'shit I'm leaking' and sobbing quietly. 

"The deed is done," Ran muttered quietly. "At least w-" Ran fell to his knees. "I-ckkckkk-" He looked up and Tubbo and his face flickered. "Help-" He crumbled to the ground.

Tubbo was watching in horror at Tommy sobbing over Wilburs body and Ran glitching out. He put his hands to his face.

In all the chaos, a small green-and-pink figure quietly snuck out from the trees.

Micheal.
