Until L'Manburg's Destroyed and Gone | Book Two of Love is a War

Chapter 8: Oh, My Dad's Alive!

Wilbur POV

Schlatt and Quackity won. Fuck. "We need a recount! This was rigged!" Tommy yelled. Schlatt glared. "Tommy. Get off my podium." Schlatt said angrily. "Tommy, we're citizens tonight. Just listen to Schlatt." I sigh, before he finally resigns and gets off the podium. Quackity and Schlatt share a wicked smile, as the crowd remain silent, still in shock from the recent events. "Well... That was pretty easy." Schlatt said into the mic, smirking. Everyone in the audience began to boo, or shout profanities. Schlatt frowned. Never have I been so proud of L'Manburg. "And you know what I've said the day I got unbanned from the Dream SMP? The day I said I was running, in the election that I won, by the way? I said, "Things are gonna change!". I looked every citizen of L'Manberg in the eyes and I said, "You listen to me. This place will be a lot different tomorrow." Schlatt said, with a gleam in his eyes. I could feel my fists clench. He was going to ruin L'Manburg. He looked down at me and Tommy and grinned. "My first decree as the President of L'Manberg. The Emperor of this great country! Is to REVOKE THE CITIZENSHIP OF WILBUR SOOT AND TOMMYINNIT!!!" Schlatt yelled. Quackity and Ponk loaded crossbows, as everyone screamed in protest. "Tommy, we need to get out of here!" I yelled at him over the chaos. He nodded silently, and we both began to run. "Tommy, drink this, hurry!" I yell at him, tossing him an invisibility potion as we ran. We both drink it, and ran as fast as we could, to leave L'Manburg, all while Schlatt continues his speech, promising peace and prosperity to all. Everyone in the crowd is silent. No more cheers from L'Manburg. 

"Tommy, help me dig this hole out!" I call, and Tommy nods, digging out a small home in the hill. "Alright" Tommy replies, beginning to dig with me. "Niki's offering us food and armour." Tommy says optimistically. "I know" I say tiredly, faking a smile. "Tubbo's asking where I am. Do I respond or..." Tommy drawls off. "No, Tommy, we need to lie low." I say, giving him a sympathetic pat. I really feel bad for him, his best friend, with Schlatt. He's just a child. He shouldn't have to go through this. He looks at the ground solemnly. "Hey, how about you get some wood, to make our base?" I ask, trying to distract him. "Okay", he says, before heading off. 10 minutes later, he comes back, yelling. "They're tearing the walls down, Wilbur!" Tommy yells, and we both rush to the top of Eret's tower. We are both silent for a few minutes, out of pure shock. "Tommy, do you want to sing the national anthem, one last time?" I ask, finally. He nods, and we begin to sing. 

I heard there was a special place,

Where men could go and emancipate,The brutality and the tyranny of their rulers.Well, this place is real, you need'nt fret,with Wilbur, Tommy, Tubbo, fuck Eret.It's a very big and not blown up L'Manberg.My L'Manberg,My L'Manberg,My L'Manberg,My L'Manberg.

"I can't watch this anymore" I finally said, and we both head back to the hill. "Hey Wilbur, what's that dove doing here?" Tommy asks, pointing to the single white dove sitting on the branch of a nearby tree. I look at it strangely, and it flies onto my arm, revealing a note tied to it. "It can't be", I mumble softly, untying the note off its leg. 

So I heard you guys might need some assistance? 
-Techno

"Of course it's Techno" I mumble with an eye roll. ""Did you say Techno?" Tommy whispered excitedly, and I nodded. "YEAH WE GOT THE BLADE!!! TAKE THAT BITCHES!" Tommy yelled, and I shook my head with a smile. I guess we got the blade. I write back to him quickly, detailing the coords of our base, and the current situation, before sending the bird back. Let's just hope he gets it before anything else happens. 

Tubbo POV (YAYAYAYAY)

"I want you to do something for me Tubbo" Schlatt says, and I gulp, nodding. Everyone in the audience has left, except for the people in the higher up positions. But they were busy, beginning to tear down the walls. The walls we worked hard to be allowed to build, being torn down just like that. "Two things. First, I need you to find Tommy, and show him the door." Schlatt said, and I nodded. "And the second thing, Mr. President?" I ask nervously. He laughs. "Tubbo, are you a fan of stories, cause you seem to be the type of person to enjoy a good story." Schlatt states, smiling. "Uh, yes, Mr. President. I do love a good story." I exclaim, fiddling with my thumbs, trying to hide my nervousness. "Once upon a time, there was a wise and noble king, with two twin children. He tried to train them for perfection, show them how to be the best of the best, and it sort of worked, but they ran off." he said, walking back and forth. He tightens his fists. "The kingdom the King was in charge of? Gone. His children? Gone. Well, not fully. You see, his son became a powerful warrior, and ruler. Hiding behind a mask." Schlatt said, looking at me. This story sounds familiar. "His daughter became a warrior as well, however, everyone thinks she's dead. But all along, she was hiding away, waiting for someone to bring her back out of the shadows. Tubbo, I want you to find my daughter, and bring her to me." Schlatt orders. I swallow, trying to process the information. "So your Y/N's and Dream's dad?" I ask. He nods. "And Y/N is ALIVE?" I exclaim, and he rolls his eyes. "Yes Tubbo, do I have to exclaim everything to you? NOW GET TO WORK!" Schlatt shouts and I nod, running off. If only we knew this earlier... I have to tell Tommy. 

Y/N POV

I hope on my horse and ride as fast as I can back to me and Techno's base. My head is spinning, twisting, headache inducing. How can Schlatt, my father, be alive? Dream told me he died! If he never died, why did we leave. I mean, he was a jerk, but still, we loved him! Or so I thought. I need answers, but I can't just go to Dream after 6 months, when he thinks I'm dead. Techno is busy farming potatoes when I get home, but doesn't miss me entering the house. "Who won?" he asks, while tilling some dirt. "Schlatt" I said in a monotone voice, grabbing some seeds and helping to plant. "Oh? Didn't expect that happening." he with an eye roll, and I give a weak laugh in response. "Hey, I've got to send out a letter real quick. You mind finishing these potatoes?" he asked, and I nod, harvesting and planting them quickly. An hour later, he comes back, note in hand. "Hey, some of my friends are requiring a bit of my assistance, which means I have to leave here for a long time. You want to come?" he asks, and I nod. "Any friends of yours are friends of mine!" I smile.

YOOO!!!!! 3 CHAPTERS IN ONE DAY NOTHING STOPS THE GRIND!!!! Lol, also, ignore the glitched text above this A/N. No, there is no glich-monster-god thingy like in other fanfics that use that font. I just thought it would be funny to add that in to show how wrong Y/N is! Let's just call it the 'Author's Voice'. Yes, everyone, I'm officially canon. Also, sorry for lying last chapter saying that Wilbur and Y/N would have a reunion. I honestly thought they would, but set up took too long in this chapter, so I couldn't😭. Next chapter they will though, I'm being fr this time (Hopefully lol). Anyway, if you have any suggestions/things you want in the story, comment, and I'll try to incorporate it into the story. Stay safe, drink lots of water, eat, and remember we care about you <3. Thank you so much for reading, and I can't wait to see you in the next chapter!
