Tommy watched as Tubbo flew off, turning back to see Wilbur and Techno get tossed to the side by Ranboo as if they were nothing.

Everything was happening too fast! Tubbo and Apis were the same person, Ranboo wasn't in control of himself apparently, Tubbo had fucking- teleported within a blink from Tommy's arms to somewhere behind him, scared out of his damn mind and rambling on about how sorry he was.

In short, Tommy hadn't a clue on what was going on, but he was a hero, and Tubbo needed help. Vigilante or not. Besides, Tommy sort of felt that Tubbo was... a friend. His first friend in a long time. He wasn't about to lose that.

Ranboo glanced around their home, his fingers growing terrifying claws as he realized Tubbo was nowhere to be seen.

Tommy took a deep breath, then proceeded to use his powers. Slowly freezing Ranboo's limbs, watching as the hybrid screeched at the realization of what was happening.

He didn't like using his powers, he preferred to rely on his own physical capabilities, not just his stupid magic abilities that he was born with. Though he had to admit, they were extremely useful; but sometimes they made things a little too easy.

But with a rising horror, Tommy could feel Ranboo fighting against his powers, his body heat rising significantly to counter the increasing cold. Purple eyes zeroed in on Tommy, a livid, fiery, anger within them.

A choked scream rose out of Ranboo's chest, his fists practically vibrating with rage as he slowly but surely worked his way out of Tommy's powers.

Techno launched forward, finally able to stumble back to his feet and get back into the fight; but just as he went to tackle Ranboo once more, in a flurry of purple particles, Ranboo vanished from sight. Leaving Techno to awkwardly sprawl onto the floor, just barely catching himself from landing on his face.

"What the fuck is going on?" Wilbur asked first, staring at the spot where Ranboo stood before, confusion and hurt on his face.

Tommy wasn't listening anymore, already slamming the button to open the balcony doors and stepping outside, catching tiny glimpses of purple on rooftops before it would vanish, but it was enough, he knew which direction Ranboo was heading.

"Dad, he's gone that way." Tommy pointed into the distance, they had to act fast if they wanted to catch up to Tubbo before Ranboo did. "If we hurry-"

"Tommy, absolutely not." Wilbur interrupted, rushing forward to hold Tommy by his shoulders and look him dead in the eye. "You're not about to risk your life for some kid who's been lying to us this whole time! What if he had intentions to kidnap one of us?! Or murder?! What if he's been selling off top secret information to outsiders?!"

Tommy shook Wilbur's hands off of his shoulders, stepping back with a roll of his eyes, "Wilbur, he's a fucking vigilante, last I checked, vigilantes fight evil. Not contribute towards it."

Tommy let out a sigh, eyeing each of his family members and realizing that they weren't going to let him go.

Time to pull out the big guns.

"Please," Tommy started, keeping his gaze to the floor to make himself seem smaller. If push came to shove, he would simply jump off the balcony and use his ice powers to stop himself from splatting onto the pavement. But he needed backup, Ranboo wasn't going to be an easy target to take down, especially if they needed to avoid harming him.
