Techno pov-

"Alright everyone! Are we excited for the second to last game in this long tournament the celebrate Dream's disapearence?! ", Quackity yelled into the microphone. After our conversation, he walked off. I had asumed to the bathroom, but I could have expected this game to be revealed. Me and Sapnap where batteling for first place, but knowing Quackity, he would have indeed chosen to have Bad and Tommy gamble for third place first. Spices it all up doesn't it?

"Now, seeing as this'll be the second to last game, we won't be revealing the prize for first place just yet. However, that doesn't take away at the suspence now does it?", Quackity asked the audience. Some agreeing mumbling came from around me and I, while I didn't much care for riches, was indeed intrested. "Now for this second to last game I want to invite BadBoyHalo and TommyInnit up on the stage to battle it out in a game of chicken~.", Quackity said teasingly. 

"I wonder what kind of game it is going to be? What if they grab an axe and cut bits of thread to see when it falls?", someone behind me asks their compagnion. "They probably wouldn't. Gambling is for money not body parts.", the person said. It got me thinking: where is Philza?  Shouldn't he be back by now? Snowchester isn't that long of a flight... I decided to ask Quackity about it after he introduced to game to us. 

As Bad and Tommy went up to the podium, Wilbur suddenly apeard behind me. "Ayo Techno!! What is going on?", he asked me with some very fake hype. "You would know if you where here. Speaking of, where have you been going?", I asked. "Bathroom is some bullshit. So don't lie to me.", I continued. "Alright man!", Wilbur said defencifly putting his hands in the air. "I won't lie.", he grinned. "I have seen the prize for first place and let me tell you! I have had my fun.", he said. 

"You have?", I asked him, eyebrows raised. "Why haven't Quackity thrown you out yet if so?", I asked. Wilbur shrugged. "Don't know Tech, all I know is that the winner will be....... how do I put this?", he asked himself. I just stayed silent.

"The winner will be surprised at what the prize will be.", he finished after a bit. "Mhhh.", I just answered. "Well that doesn't matter just yet, the gamble for third place is just about to start.", I heard behind me.

I turned. It was Quackity. "Hello there! Wilbur.", he said. Smile dropping. "It surprises me to see you in the crowd." "Yeah yeah... I'm sorry little duck. I just had some rather... bloody business to attend to. Make sure no accidents would happen. My apologies. To Sam aswel. I may or may not have spooked him.", Wilbur answered. "Yeah right. I've got all doors locked accept the exit.", Quackity replied. "But now that that is out of the way, do you care for something to drink?", he asked. Smile back on his face.

"That would be lovely!", Wilbur answered. "I would just like a Jin-Tonic. Some of the best stuff." I rolled my eyes at that comment and went up to the podium where Tommy and Bad where gambling away their own sanity. No really, they where! "What is with the miniature guillotine?!", someone from the crowd asked.

"Ah, as you can see they both have one of their fingers under the guillotine turning it into a game of chicken. They both point to one of the threads and have it cut. The first one that pulls their finger out or cuts the thread that drops the blade loses.", another told. "Well, they won't lose a finger. That is for sure. This isn't really a gamble if you ask me! This is plain torture!", another random spectator chimed in.

I somewhat agreed with him, but I'm not really surprised. These are the last few rounds.

Ranboo pov-
"... ughhh.", I crowned as I awoke, the purple hue infront of my eyes still there, but the voices of the Dragons Breath are not as prominent. "Ah, you feeling better Ranboo?", a familiar voice asked me. I sat up to see Tubbo in the chair infront of me. "Yeah... I do... though the voices are still there...", I said. Pulling up my knees to my chest.

"Philza flew you here.", he said as he stood up. "Do you remember?", he asked me. I nodded "yeah slightly. I remember the cold from up there. Was nice."

"Good. You want something to drink?", Tubbo asked me again. "Some water would be nice.", I said. Tubbo nodded and went to the kitchen. Now that I was just alone with my thoughts the voices of the Dragons Breath where getting louder again.

And louder...

And louder...

Almost to loud. Then I heard a voice I hadn't heard in ages. Help me!! It said. Or well, screamed. Dreams voice. Or something like it. It was his, but also not. I don't know why I hadn't heard it for so long... ever since Dream escaped I hadn't heard it. Never the less, I did now.

Tubbo walked in. And I saw nothing but purple...

Tubbo pov-
Ranboo was standing in the middle of the room when i walked in. Completely still. Not reacting to me, face turned away. I walked around the see it. The purple on his face had spread from his eyes like the egg had spread around the server. "Ranboo??", I asked.

...

Nothing. "Ranboo?", I tried again. Still nothing. "Boo?", I tried again. Nothing worked. I decided to throw the water in the cup I was holding onto him. Seeing as he's half Enderman I wouldn't hurt him to badly. Maybe it could chock him out of his state. Or he would teleport away...

I went ahead with my plan. Nothing. It did nothing. "Ugh!", I crowned, throwing the cup to the wall. It breaking on impact. Even that noise didn't get Ranboo out of his state. I decided to grab my communicator and call Philza. Walking out of the living room, I realized that was a mistake.

Tommy pov-
Alright, this. This is nerve wracking and I hate it. "Mister Innit. It is your turn to chose a string. There are only 10 left so chose wisely.", the dealer announced. Deep breath in... deep breath out. "That one.", I pointed to the third one in the front row.

"Are you sure? Mister Innit?", the dealer asked. I nodded. "Alright. As you wish.", the dealer cut.

...

Nothing happened. "Congratulations, mister Innit. You've not yet lost. Mister Halo. It is your turn to chose a string. There are only 9 left so chose wisely.", the dealer announced to bad this time. Bad, sweating by this point, probably because the idiot put in the pointerfinger of his right-hand, took a bit before he chose. "I chose that one.", he said, pointing to the fifth string in the second row.

"Are you sure? Mister Halo?", the dealer asked. Bad nodded. "Alright. As you wish.", the dealer cut the string.

...

Something happened, but my finger was still alright. Bad had stood up and pulled his finger away from under the guillotine. Breathing heavy we all looked at him. Some in surprise, like me. Some just deadpan, like the dealer, and some with disappointment in their eyes. Like Skeppy. "As you may see, everyone, mkster Halo has lost the came by pulling away his finger. "This means that Mister Innit has won this game, taking third place in this gambling tournament."

Silence soon turned into cheers. "If I may ask, dear dealer. What string was the one that would release the blade?", I asked not being able to control my own curiosity. The dealer walked up to the strings again. Grabbing them al and cutting them, letting them go all at once, the blade fell. "Oh come on dude!! Not fun!", I said. "It is stated I my contract I would drop all left over strings, where there to be some, at once. My apologies, Mister Innit.", he said. I crowned but accepted it and walked away.

Seeing Bad, I walked upto him. "Ah, hello Tommy! Congrats on the win!", he said, grabbing my had and shaking it. "Thank you! And thank you for the good game! It was fun!", I said in response.

Bad smiled at me and I smiled back. 

"What a nice show of sportmenship! Now give it up for TommyInnit everyone!", we heard from over the speakers. The cheering got even louder. And I took it all in with Bad holding up my arm.

:]
