Can we get back to politics?
Please?
Hamilton reference?  In a Wilbur story?  That's outrageous.  Anyway.

Wilbur POV

I was staring at Schlatt as he looked around at the people surrounding him. Looking around, I saw some people I recognized from my previous dreams. Among the crowd was Bad. What is he doing here? Never mind that. I guess I was lost in my thoughts because the next thing I knew Schlatt told Fundy that he wasn't a real man. I don't know what it was about Schlatt saying that but it made me mad. I went to attack him but I was held back. The next thing I knew Schlatt was on the ground, dead. He didn't have any wounds so I guess his drinking habits caught up to him.
I must have blacked out because I was now standing in front of a button in a room filled with writings on the walls. The urge to press the button in front of me became almost unbearable. I went to reach for the button but was stopped by voice coming from behind me.
"What are you doing?" I paused. Turning around I found Phil standing in the doorway.
    "Phil?" I said hesitantly.
    "What are you doing?" he asked once more.
    I could hear fireworks through the walls as I thought for a moment.  "Phil," I spoke. 
    "Mhm," he paused as I tried to recollect my thoughts. "Yeah, 'in L'Manburg' you said".
   "Th- this is L'Manburg," I took a deep breath.  "Okay, I will admit..." I looked at the button before continuing.  "Do you know what this button is?" I asked him.
    "Uh huh, I do," he spoke firmly.
    "Have- have you heard the song on the walls before?" I asked.  "Have you heard the song?  I was just saying I made this big point and it was poignant and it was the 'there was a special place where men could go' but its not there anymore you know," I spoke as I began to pace around a bit. 
    "It is there," Phil said as he put his hand on my shoulder.  "You've just won it back Wil".
    "Phil, I'm always so close to pressing the button Phil!" I yelled as I turned back to the button.  "I have been- I have been here like 7 or 8 times, I have been here!  7 or 8 times!" I began rambling about not wanting people in the room and Phil took a deep breath.
    "Phil I've been here so many times," I spoke once more.  "They're fighting.  They're fighting!"
    "And you just want to blow it all up?" Phil questioned.
    "Yeah I do," I breathed out.  "I think I-"
    "You fought so hard to get this land back," Phil mentioned.
    "I don't even know if it works anymore Phil," I spoke slightly over him.  "I don't even know if the button works.  I could press it and it might..."
    "Do you really want to take that risk?"  He asked me.  "There is a lot of TNT potentially connected to that button."
    "Phil," I began, "there was a saying Phil, by a traitor once part of L'Manburg.  A traitor, I don't know if you've heard of him, Eret?" I said recalling his famous quote that was ringing through my head. 
    "Yeah," Phil stated.
    "He had a saying Phil," I looked at him while still partly facing the button.  I saw Phil's eyes widen as I spoke the all famous quote.  "It was never meant to be."  Tears rolled down my face as I pressed the button then saluted.
    "Oh my god-" I heard Phil say before I saw him reach out to me.  As he reached, I heard everything explode and we were now shown the sight of what the TNT caused.
I breathed heavily as I took in what I just did.
"Wil!" Phil exclaimed. "It's all gone!" I looked up at him and smiled while still crying.
"MY L'MANBURG PHIL! MY UNFINISHED SYMPHONY, FOREVER UNFINISHED!" I yelled through my tears. "IF I CANT HAVE IT, NO ONE CAN PHIL!"
"Oh my god.." Phil said. Just then I realized what I had done.
"Kill me Phil," I begged. "Phil kill me! Phil kill me! Phil stab me with the sword. Murder me now. Kill me, kill. Killza. Look they all want you to," I exclaimed as I pointed at the people staring at us in horror. There was a brief silence as Phil looked out at everyone. "Do it Phil, kill me! Kill me Phil!" I begged once more.
"You're my son!" He screamed at me.
"Phil kill me!" I yelled back.
"No matter what you do, no matter what you've done-" he tried, holding back tears.
I started to get upset. "Phil! This isn't- look! Look- look at how much work went into this and it's gone!" I told him. "Do it." I pleaded once more.
Phil reluctantly picked up the sword that was lying on the ground and stabbed it through my chest. I smiled happily as my vision faded.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    I woke with a start, my body in pain.  I turned to see Phil looking at me with relief. 
    "You alright there mate?" He asked with caution.
    "I just had an explosive dream," I said in attempt to be funny.  It seemed to work as we both started chuckling.  Once we calmed down, I told Phil about my newest dream.  Phil looked hurt by what I told him but we agreed that once I was healed up we would go find Bad and talk to him.
