The Death That Follows

The Ring That Started It All

TW: DNF, Karlnapity

Technoblade

I knew Dream was damaged, that he was running from something, but there was no way I could have imagined this bull—-ery. Somehow, I was supposed to be dead. But I. . . wasn't.

The entity that brought me here, this idiot XD, wasn't powerful enough yet to actually kill us. But he knew how to do it, gain enough power. And he was close. Close enough to completely destroy everything.

The only thing that could stop him now was George. But, after he figured out what happened to Wilbur, we were screwed. Gogy had to fall back in love with Dream. Before it is too late.

George

"We need to fight, Gogy." Dream said, a haunted expression on his face, one that made my stomach churn.

"What do you mean?" I asked, and everyone looked at us, quieted into submission.

"All this time, I thought it would only affect me. Sure, he was killing people, but if I just secluded myself, it would stop. But I need help, George. Not just me. Wil needs help, and Ranboo. This has just gotten a lot larger." He said, and my stomach, already roiling, dropped.

"What do you mean Wilbur needs help?" I asked, hearing my own voice from far away.

"XD has him. He has taken over Ranboo, and making him torture Wil. We have to stop him." He said, and I hardly noticed my knees hitting the floor. Wil. My Wil. He had my Wil. He was TORTURING my Wil?

"No." I gasped, tears flooding my eyes. I had worried something was wrong the moment I got home. But never would I have guessed a demon took my boyfriend. And, I had no doubt in my mind that Dream was lying. It made sense, the sudden coldness all those years ago. But why now? Why was everything going wrong now?

I couldn't see, but, when I felt two arms wrap around me, I instinctively knew who it was. Tubbo. For some reason, even though his husband was just as much a part of this as Wil, he was comforting me. I looked up into his big, tear filled eyes.

"We are going to get them back." He said with such conviction, that I believed him.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go kick some demonic culata." Quackity said, and I chuckled, turning to see him on his feet, eyes burning with a livid fire. Sapnap and Karl were looking at him with an expression I wouldn't believe if I wasn't seeing it. Did they like Big Q?

"But where do we start?" Karl asked quietly.

"XD showed me something. A vision, I guess. I think they are here, on Earth, instead of in some demon realm." Dream said.

"Ah, great. That limits it to about 197,000,000 square miles. Good job." Sapnap said sarcastically, and it hit me that Dream had hurt him too.

"Well, not exactly." Karl said, and we all turned to face him.

"What are you thinking of, Cariño?" Quackity asked, and Karl blushed, making Sapnap look. . . jealous? I would ask him about that later.

"W-well." Karl stuttered before clearing his throat and continuing. "There is something we could try. But I don't think you are going to like it."

"It doesn't matter. We have to get them back." I said, practically pleading.

"Well, Dream has a connection with XD, right? What if he tries to tap into that? We could not only find out where he is, but his plan." He said, and all color drained from Dream's already pale face.
