RanbooPOV:
"Ranboo I have some things to say about your 'Jack-attack' yesterday."

I backed up
"If you're here to hurt me then no need. Tubbo has done that enough" I scoff sadly

Techno, sensing my sadness puts his hand on my shoulder
"No, Ranboo. I'm here to help you." He hardens his grip and leads me behind his house
He reaches into his inventory and pulls out two wood axes and hands one to me

The wooden handle feels weird in my hand, I feel unable to fight with it anymore, like I'll mess it up without even doing anything

"Ranboo?" Techno snaps me out

"uh- yes?"

"You ok?"

"uhm, yep!! So uh, why'd you bring me out here"

Techno smirks "Reasons"

And then he attacks me.
He lunges at me and swings his axe at my arm
I jump backwards and duck

He tried again and swings for my legs this time so I can't run away

I jump back again anyways and try to get a good grip on my axe to attempt a swing but techno is faster

He swings again, at my knees this time so I cant jump above
I close my eyes and brace for impact but it never comes

When I open my eyes I find I'm in techno's kitchen
"what..." I whisper looking down at the axe in my hands

Just then I hear a scream and look up to see who it is

It's tommy

and he's screaming

at
me

"HELP!! HE'S GOING TO ATTACK ME !" Tommy screams as ghostbur and tubbo come running

"RANBOO WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Ghostbur yells at me

"YOU NEED TO STOP HURTING EVERYONE BY BEING AN IDIOT. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE DOING, DO YOU?! WELL I'LL TELL YOU, YOU'RE JUST A WASTE OF RESOURCES. NOBODY WANTS YOU HERE, THE ONLY REASON ANYONE TREATS YOU WITH RESPECT IS BECAUSE YOU'RE WITH TUBBO!!"

His eyes turn completely blue as he yells

"were, with tubbo." He corrects himself

It eerily quiet. Ghostbur has never yelled like that before, it remind me of Wilbur.

Seems like I'm not the only one because tommy slowly walks towards the door and runs out, covering his face

Ghostbur realizes what he's done and shrinks into himself, then flies out the door

Tubbo just looks at me, he whispers something but all I can hear is "......not true....." which I'm guessing is about what ghostbur said

does he actually care? maybe.
is he just using me for money? maybe.
doesn't anyone here like me? maybe.
are they scared of me? maybe.
am I freak of nature they're only keeping around because they have to or I'll interfere and create more problems for them? probably.

Despite what tubos says, his eyes speak in a different tone, they tell me what ghostbur says is true.

Tubbo turns around and walks out the door.

After a few moments I stumble backwards, dropping the axe, and crash against the wall in confusion and realization that there's actually nobody in the world that genuinely likes me.

so I just sit there and cry

there's not much else to do

it really stings

I hear the door open and listen as footsteps make their way over to me

they stop right in front of my body and I squeeze my eyes shut, as the person crouches down, preparing myself for more yelling but instead I feel myself being lifted up and hugged

hugged...?

I finally open my eyes and it's techno.

He tightens his grip and I move my arms to hug him back

I feel bad for crying because I'm soaking techno's cape

After a bit I finally feel better, so I take some deep breaths and relax my body
Techno takes the hint and lets go, but makes a point to keep his eyes on my tie

I take another deep breath and pick up the axe

Techno meets my eyes and smiles
It's a comforting smile but also challenging

A take a step forward and slide to the right as techno swings the axe he swiftly pulled out of his inventory in my direction

I duck and dodge his next swings but manages to box me in a corner with no place to go so I hold my breath and try to concentrate on an escape plan

Techno has no mercy, he swings the axe down on me and I close my eyes

but when I open them I'm in the other corner of the room, with a clear shot at techno

I run towards him and throw the axe at him, making sure he doesn't actually get hurt

Techno turns around just in time to get smacked in the face by the axe

To my surprise, he laughs

"Good shot Ranboo, I see you've learn you can do..." he waves his hand from behind him to in front of him "...that."

I grin "yeah !! But, uh, I don't really know how I did it.. you know?"

Techno nods "well that's what we're trying to figure out. That's our objective - discover and master all the powers you have. Now, how do you feel about jumping off a roof?"
