Chapter 6

The 3 walked through the forest, weapons tucked behind, Tommy's sheathed on his hip. At any time, the blonde would stop and draw his sword to surprise attack the two but they were all too prepared. 

Tommy worried. He was a big worrier and Tubbo tried to make their adventures fun but Tommy usually found a way around it.

They had found an old cottage that no one seemed to be in and camped there. They started a small fire near noon and Tommy caught a rabbit to eat. They joked about poisoning each other and talked about what they would do in the future. 

Tommy felt eyes on them from the trees but paid no mind as they were probably approaching some sort of military base. He made them stop in a clearing with a large boulder for 'water' but was just waiting for a surprise attack.

He was right. Two men approached them from a shady spot. 

"What are you doing out here?" the brunette questioned, standing tall. The two men stood tall. There was one with pink hair that was long and straightened. They both wore shimmery guard outfits that seemed a lot better than usual guard outfits.

"Exploring," Tommy replied as Tubbo joined him to awe at the men. 

"Are those weapons registered?"

"What?"

"Let me rephrase that. Are you the three causing a ruckus in the woods?"

"Ruckus?" Tommy laughed. "No. We're training."

"We advise you to stop. You're disturbing the stations around here."

"Not even a, 'please'? We'll stop if you win against us in a fight."

"Fine. It's a deal."

Tubbo was shoved up to face the man and Tommy counted off. Tubbo came off with an early lead. He did the counts, changing it up like Tommy wanted but he forgot to defend. He was shoved down from the back and lost. 

Ranboo was next, defending and not on the attack. He often used the middle of the spear to push the other back but it wasn't enough so when the other wasn't expecting it, the taller shoved him, holding the sharp end to the other's throat.

"Don't forget, I still have another with me," the man warned as he got up.

He stepped to the side and Ranboo immediately fell to the other man. Tommy helped Ranboo up and walked to face his foe. He unsheathed his sword quietly and held it in front of him.

The other charged first, each move after followed like a dance. They both seemed so in sync. The others watched in awe as one would counter and strike in quick succession. 

"1, 2, 3..." Tommy began to chant as he repeated the same moves. "4!" 

CLANG!

Mental touched dirt and there was a thud. Tommy still had his weapon while the other did not. Their weapon was towards the boulder.

"I win," Tommy said as he sheathed his sword. Defeated, the man picked up his sword and walked toward the other. "Alright mystery men, tell us your names." Tubbo and Ranboo walked over to Tommy.

"I'm Wilbur Soot and this is my guard, Technoblade." Tommy went red and turned to walk into the woods.

"Well, that's great! See you later!" Tommy replied.

"Tommy?" Techno questioned but the boy wasn't listening. Tubbo and Ranboo were struggling to keep up with the other as Wilbur and Techno faded into the woods. "Just talk to me!" Tommy spun on his heels in their direction. 

"I'd rather eat myself!" Tommy shouted back.

That seemed to shut everyone up as they walked back.

"Tommy? Are you ok?" Tubbo asked as he tried to walk next to him. The boy didn't answer and they assumed they were going back to the house.
