Enemies With The Shadows

Chapter Nine - The End

Finally. Finally they could end all of this stress. After a while of searching, a while of panic, they’ll be free. They were all waiting, spread out, prepared. Sam had handcuffs and his taser ready, Tubbo was ready to use his acid, Innit was ready to claw and bite, and Ranboo was ready to defend. There was no way any of them would give up. Never.

Innit heard footsteps growing near. Before he could react he felt himself fall to the ground, his vision growing blurry, his thoughts getting fuzzy. He looked up, seeing the grin on Dream’s face, before falling unconscious. Dream just laughed. “Man. If only you put up more of a fight! It’s no fun when you give in right away.” He shrugged. “But that just makes it easier for me.”

“Has anyone seen Innit?” Tubbo asked, sounding a bit worried.
“He isn’t responding to any of my messages or calls.” Ranboo said.
“Same.” Tubbo added.
“He isn’t back yet either.” Sam added.
“I just hope-” In the middle of Tubbo’s sentence, he was attacked.
“Tubbo!” Ranboo shouted, running to help Tubbo. They punched off the attacker, trying to identify if it was Dream or someone else.
“Ow fuck… My eye…” Tubbo got up, holding his eye, blood dripping from his face. Sam was about to help, before getting shot on the leg, stumbling to the ground. “FUCK!” Sam yelled, holding the wound.
“Don’t think you’ll be getting away bud.” Punz said, pinning Sam to the ground.
“You.” Tubbo hissed.
“We’ll still win, Punz.” Ranboo said. “We have four, you have two.”
“No no. The fight is even. We both have three.” Punz replied.
“No you don’t.” Tubbo spat.
“Oh, but we do.” Dream said, grinning.
“And who’s your third and fourth, hm?” Tubbo asked.
“Fourth? No no. This is a three versus three.” Punz chuckled. Innit, ran out, lunging at Tubbo. Tubbo barely managed to dodge.
“INNIT WHAT THE HELL?!?” He yelled.
“Tubbo… That’s not Innit..” Ranboo hesitantly said, pulling Tubbo closer to himself.
“He’s quite a fun new puppet.” Dream laughed. Tubbo, without hesitation, lunged right for Dream, tackling him.

Ranboo’s main focus was wrapping up Sam’s wound and helping Tommy. They quickly restrained Tommy, before running over to Sam. “This might hurt a bit, but I swear I’m helping.” Ranboo reassured.
“Do whatever you need to..” Sam said, struggling through the pain. Ranboo nodded, pulling out some spare tweezers, and doing his best to slowly and carefully get the bullet out of Sam’s leg, quickly wrapping the wound after. Ranboo looked over to make sure Tubbo was okay, before running over to Innit “Innit? Are you there? Please.” They desperately asked, lightly shaking Innit. “Please man..” There was no response. Just a blank stare back, like a lifeless puppet without a puppeteer. Ranboo sighed, decadent to solve this themself.

Dream, Tubbo, and Punz had been fighting for a few minutes now. It wasn’t looking the best for Tubbo. He was so close to failing, when in a blink of an eye, Dream and Punz had been restrained and handcuffed. It was all so sudden, even Dream and Punz were confused. Ranboo helped the now dazed and confused Innit, helping him up. Ranboo then walked over to Dream and Punz. “It’s over.”
“Fine.” Dream growled. “You win. Go ahead. Take us in.” Ranboo and Sam both nodded. Sam limped over, as both Ranboo and Sam took the two villains to prison.

“Is it over?” Tommy asked. “Are we done now? Do we get the normal villains again?”
“I think so!” Toby said happily.
“Finally. That lets me focus on my medical learning. Speaking of that, I gotta go. You guys rest, okay?” Mark said, before leaving the house. Toby and Tommy sat on the couch, sighing in relief. Finally, after all that struggle, it was over.
