A Simple Game

Manhunt!Dream

"OH DREAMMMMM!" a voice screeched.

Dream cursed under his breath. Of course Badboyhalo heard him. That demon had hearing better than his own dog. A dog hilariously dubbed "Rat".

"Language you muffinhead! He's over here guys!" Bad shouted.

Dream desperately searched his inventory and checked his armor and weapons.

There was not much in his inventory. Of course there wasn't as he was constantly running. There was barley any time to get supplies. What he did manage to get were some boats, an empty bucket, and some food.

As for his weapons, he had a bow with only 4 arrows left. A measly iron axe, an iron sword, and a shield. Most importantly, a potion of water breathing I found in a village.

His armor wasn't looking too good. The leather helmet already had a chunk torn out by George. Sapnap had made a diagonal slit-gap in the iron chestplate by striking it with a gosh darn DIAMOND AXE. The gold leggings were intact, but gold was weak. Finally, his iron boots had been half exploded.

Yeah, not much. But as always, Dream had a plan. He had boats plus a water breathing potion. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that the best way to go was the ocean.

Now where to find an ocean. Dream knew it was not far away. He could basically smell dead fish and seaweed from a mile away. Normally he would have gone in the opposite direction from the smell of rotting fish. But for manhunting sake, full speed ahead towards that smell!

Bad, George, Sapnap, and Antfrost were on his tail. As soon as the shore came into view, he placed down the boat and rowed as hard as he could. Obviously, the hunters didn't bring a boat. Ant went to go get wood while Sapnap tried to bow Dream from afar.

Dream smirked in victory, feeling smug. He couldn't stop to celebrate though. Just keep on rowing. He was specifically looking for something in particular. A shipwreck. All sorts of goodies were in shipwrecks. The hunters were wayyyyy behind, so why not do some looting?

Yes!

The faint outline of a sunken ship lined the bottom of the seafloor. He took out the potion of water breathing out of my inventory and downed it. Then he plunged into the depths below. 

Important notice: If you are scared of the dark, DO NOT go looting shipwrecks at the bottom of who-knows-where. Luckily, Dream did not care for the dark. He could see a chest and made a beeline straight for it.

He pried the lid open with difficulty. Opening chests deep underwater was hard. Dream finally opened the lid only to be met with slight disappointment. 

It had some cool things that he took like new boots and a helmet. Defiantly taking the two emeralds in there. The rest were scrolls. Sighing in disappointment, Dream kept rummaging, hoping to find enderpearls.

Then he froze.

At the bottom of the chest lay a porcelain mask. It was made of the exact same material as his own mask. It would have been identical to Dream's mask if it weren't for the designs.

The shipwreck mask had a big XD carved into it while Dream's had a smile etched on it.

Dream stared in disbelief at it. Why the hell was there a mask like his in there!? Well.. might as well take it. Finders keepers. Besides, he could wear the "XD" mask if my ":)" mask was broken. It frequently broke during manhunts.

He reached in the chest to take the mask. As soon as his fingers touched it, the world started to fade. He frantically reached up to his throat. Did the potion wear out? His vision blurred.
