Darkside - A Dreamnoblade Story

Chapter 11 ~ Crazed

TW: Swearing, weapons, blood, killing/death, pain

Dream's POV:

It looks so easy for him, why? I know he's been in many fights but I can't help but feel scared. Techno threw the sword across the whole arena and somehow hit Mumbo. I don't know how to feel.

Techno skipped towards the body and yanked out the sword. After that, I could hear nothing but the screams of the fans. I could barely hear the person announce our victory. I looked over at Techno, when we made eye contact he wore a crazed look in his ruby eyes. The look alone made me step back, it looked as if something else was controlling him, the Technoblade I know and love does not look like that. 

Next thing I know Techno is dragging me out of the arena. We entered the same room we started in, the door slammed down behind us. It was dark so it took my eyes a second to adjust to the darkness. When they adjusted I saw Techno glaring at me.

"What?!"

"Why didn't you kill the one you were chasing?"

"I was close! If you gave me a few more seconds I could've done it! But no, you had to be the fancy Blood God!"

"You were taking too long, I didn't want to be in the Pit any longer!"

"Geez you need to calm down," I try to reason. Techno seems a little frustrated, though I'm not sure why.

"It's not going to be good enough," Techno whispered. He turned away from me as he said this.

"What do you me-"

I was interrupted by a door being shoved open. I looked over and Schlatt was standing in the doorframe. I sucked in a breath and immediately stopped what I was doing.

"Both of you, come," Schlatt motioned for us to follow him. He strode out of the room and down the long hallways of the Pit's living quarters. We rushed to follow him even though we're both reluctant to. Schlatt took various rights and lefts that seemed random but we eventually stopped at a door that's labeled "Office (4)". Schlatt held the door open for both of us and we entered the room. It wasn't anything special, a wooden desk in the middle, two chairs for visitors, a few bookshelves, and a pile of papers on the desk.

Schlatt walked to the other side of the desk and sat down. Techno sat down in one of the chairs so I copied him and sat down in the one to his left. Schlatt took a deep breath and folded his hands in front of his face. He raised his eyes and glared at us.

"Mind telling me what happened out there?" Schlatt looked between us menacingly. I didn't know what to say, in my opinion we did awesome. Well, at least Techno did really well. Luckily, Techno answered for the both of us.

"We waited too long to take them down. They weren't worthy opponents and should've been killed quicker. We made a strategic mistake, it won't happen again," Techno explained, "I'm sorry."

"Sorry," I stated. I didn't feel like we did any of the things Techno said, fighting is a precious thing and shouldn't be taken lightly. I really didn't want to apologize but if I didn't then I would get in more trouble. Though I'm still unclear as to what we are apologizing for.

"You're making me look bad! This better not happen again or there will be consequences!" Schlatt slammed his hands on the table and I saw Tech flinch back.
