Manhunt Gone Wrong (DNF)

Chapter One:I Hope...

(All credit to artists lucaguts and KalinAnimatesStuff)

Quick introduction to my au:
Basically it's a peaceful au but with a few changes.Dream never went to prison or hurt Tommy. There was a small fight over the discs in which Dream lost both his canon lives but Dream got bored and gave them back. He gave L'manburg it's freedom. Schlatt was never elected and George's house was never set on fire. (
Skephalo family as in Bad,Skeppy and Sapnap. Bad is Dad, Skeppy is Papa and Sapnap is their adopted son. He's a blaze hybrid who was abandoned in the nether. Only the Feral Boys know about all this.
Also Feral Boys, Bad and Skeppy all know about Karl's time-travelling and memory problems.
Warnings:Blood, injuries and suicidal pleadings. Please read with caution.

3rd Person POV:

"Are you proud?"

"Proud?"

"You've done it defeated me. My leg is broken I can't run anymore and neither can you:I broke the portal.Kill me and get the frame blocks just finish it.
I'm done George,you win. Be proud."

Dream sat hunched against a wall mask cracked and body aching.He was the very picture of defeat and he knew it. George's heart broke seeing him like this and he knew he could never bring himself to give Dream the death he seemed to so desperately want.

"You hesitate why? Sapnap and Bad are dead."

He spoke the truth Bad and Sapnap were at spawn after being vanquished by lava in the nether and falling from a great height whilst chasing Dream. Difference was Dream had one canon life left so even if George somehow found it in himself to kill Dream he could be ending him permanently.

"Why..."Dream paused to get up momentarily forgetting about his broken leg "...won't you kill me?"

" DREAM!"George shouted panic filling his voice
"Your... "Dream felt a stab of pain run through his leg right up his body "Dream your leg... " Dream slipped and held onto George's shirt.
Dream groaned in pain as he felt himself fall on George's sword.

"George... " He muttered

With Sapnap and Bad

"Go fish." Sapnap couldn't keep the boredom from his voice.

Bad however was occupied with his worry for his friends rather than his boredom.

"I'm worried about them, Sapnap.
They've been in the end for hours!" Bad said.
He couldn't shake the ominous feeling that George and Dream were in some sort of danger.

"I'm sure they'll be fine eventually. Dream will win and we'll go home." Sapnap said unbothered by Bad's worries.

Bad felt somewhat comforted but he still worried something bad was happening to his friends.

"Yeah I'm sure you're right... I hope."

Back with Dream and George

Dream clutched his now bleeding stomach right under the diamond sword piercing his flesh. He coughed and this mere action alone made him even more sure he was dying.

"D-DREAM!"George yelled as he ran towards Dream who let his arm fall down by his side while kneeling. He panted for air.

"G... eor..."He tried to say George's name but failed

George held onto Dream and Dream let his arms clutch George's.

"Dream oh God,I'm sorry oh God-" Dream cut off George's apologies.

"I'm... I'm okay." Dream attempted to comfort the distraught George

"You're not okay Dream!" George protested incredulously.

"I'll be fine..."

"I STABBED YOU!" George felt disbelief wash over him,how on Earth could Dream think he'd fall for such a lie?He literally had a sword poking out of his body of course he wasn't fine!

"George-" He coughed "my mask please I can't breathe."

"Oh! Um, of course!" George fumbled still kind of in a state of shock from accidentally stabbing his best 'friend'.

Half of the ruined mask fell off revealing an injured man. His nose was bleeding from it's right nostril and a line of blood escaped the side of his mouth. His eyes were full of sorrow and regret.

George's eyes were filled with tears as he spoke:"Dream... your face."

"I'll be okay. I promise."It was an obvious lie but one he told regardless in the hope of reassuring George.

"Are you in pain?"George anxiously questioned

Dream hesitated weighing up how much he should sugar-coat the truth "...Some."

George immediately saw through his lie "Liar.But I can't take out the sword..." George had never felt so useless and scared.

"I know."

Dream's mind went back to George's question and he contemplated how he really felt."I'm... I'm mostly just tired.
I want to go home George."
George hated this.He hated the end,he hated the stupid sword and he especially hated the predicament he now found himself in.

"Let's...let's go home,George.Please?" Dream begged his eyes full of pain

George's mind flashed through all the memories he had of Dream all the fun and laughter, the jokes and the banter.He offered his hand to Dream.

"Let's go home."

Dream smiled, full of hope. He took George's hand and this time applying knowledge from before, he stepped on his good leg. However,this effort took to much out of him and he passed out from pain and exhaustion.

George gasped in shock and braced himself against Dream's weight. Gently laying him down George got out his communicator and swiftly typed in a message praying Bad would see it. Bad was the best option as Sapnap always had his communicator turned off and George assumed Bad and Sapnap were somewhat close to each other.

Back with Bad and Sapnap

Bad felt a vibration from his side which signalled to him that someone had texted him. He got his communicator out and turned it on. His eyes quickly scanned the message and he drew in his breath quickly and tears spilled out of his eyes.
"Sapnap!" He gasped

"What,you upset because you're losing?"

"S-sapnap." Bad stuttered

"What?" Sapnap said concern now entering his voice
Bad held out his communicator and Sapnap took it. On it was a message from George telling them that Dream had been stabbed and needed help asap.

"Dream no..." Sapnap gasped

"I TOLD YOU!" Bad cried

"I TOLD YOU THEY'D BEEN GONE TOO LONG BUT NO YOU WOULDN'T LISTEN!" Bad shouted grief taking over his senses it was unlike him to raise his voice in anger but worry clouded his judgment.

"This is all my fault." Sapnap choked tears blurring his vision

Bad realised immediately that he'd messed up and was about to apologise and suggest trying to get new resources before going back to the end as he remembered where the stronghold was (unknown to everyone but George and Dream the end portal had been broken) but Bad was interrupted before he even began talking. He was interrupted by a concerned voice and silhouettes of several figures.

"What's going on here?"
