The Embrace Of Vengeance

🍃Chapter 28🍃

Ghostbur doesn't know how it happened, his sword being lodged into dream's skull, blood splattered onto his face and armor, mask falling away for the male to see the others split in half face. It was disgusting, but Ghost didn't seem bothered. He kicked the other off his sword, turning his attention back to his little brother, another teen holding a sword above his head as if he was ready to strike. Ranboo, it was Ranboo. His eyes were purple, the male's face looking blank as he stared down towards the cowering Tommy. That confused Bur, the man raising a brow as he sheathed his weapon to comfort his scared brother. They were on the outskirts of the newly formed crater, many others around the circular hole crying at the loss of the country. He ignored it though, opting to focus on Tommy instead.

He brought the raccoon hybrid into a hug, ignoring the tears and his struggles to get away. "It's ok Toms, c'mon it's me! Ghosty!" He seemed to calm some after that, breath becoming less ragged as he came back to reality. Violet, the dog that Tommy had claimed as his own, sat next to them, nuzzling into its owner trying to comfort the other as well. Tommy eventually snapped out of his panic attack, leaning into Ghostburs hug as they sat in needed silence. Ranboo still stood above them, sword over his head but still paused. Dream was still dead, his last life taking some time to take effect.

"Ghosty..." Bur let his fingers gently run through the younger's hair, something the whole family found soothed the raccoon teen.

"Shh, you don't need to talk. Let's meet the family at the meeting point, ok?" Bur looked back towards Ranboo, frowning as he looked over the hybrid. "And we're bringing a friend." Tommy paused, frowning as his eyes creased as he tried to understand what the older meant.

"Huh?"

Philza couldn't help the surprised expression on his face when Ghostbur and Tommy came back with a purple-eyed Ranboo, Tommy's dog circling them as if trying to figure out what was happening itself. "What..." Wilbur started, looking more puzzled than both Techno and Philza looked.

"He's acting weird, I think Dream did something to him." Philza looked the other over again, lips tightening into a thin line as he nodded.

"I see, we'll help him when we get home." The father declared, withs fluffing as he walked closer to a more than usual distant-looking Tommy. He touched the teen's cheek, his cloudy blue eyes looking towards Philza. Phil smiled, even if the raccoon hybrid could never see it. "Hey Toms, you ok?" A slow nod was his answer. Philza brought his youngest into a hug, letting the teen cling onto him as he did. He knew the younger wasn't ok, he also knew he would speak when he was ready to. "Let's go home, yeah?" Another nod. "Okay, then let's go."

Two Days Later. . .

Ranboo woke up slowly, head dizzy and eyesight fuzzy. He looked around slowly, trying to take in the area around him. It wasn't the cell, and it definitely was not his own bedroom. He sat up slowly, hand rubbing at his aching head as he did so. He blinked his eyes, letting them focus on the room around him as he tried to figure out where he was. The door squeaked open, Ranboo's red and green eyes looking over quickly to catch Technoblade walking in. He looked towards Ranboo with a glare, food in his hand and others closing the wooden door behind him. "Dad said you'd be waking up." The piglin hybrid made his way towards the other, setting the plate down into the other hybrids' waiting hands.

"What... happened?" Technoblade shrugged.

"Not sure, we were bombing L'manburg when Ghostbur brought you back to us. Your eyes were purple, so we knew something was wrong." The pinkette sat down. "We heard about Dream kidnapping you, so our conclusion was that that whole... the eye thing had something to do with it." His blue eyes looked towards Ranboo's mismatched ones. "Dad somehow knew what was happening, and made a potion to stop whatever was happening. He said it's permanent, so you won't have to deal with whatever it is again." Ranboo smiled at that, grateful that Philza would do something so kind for him. Especially after he tried to kill his son. "He said that after you wake up you're good to go. Tubbo will be waiting, after all, he was the most worried out of everyone when you disappeared." The ender hybrid nodded.
