Enemies With The Shadows

Chapter Thirteen - Caught.

In front of the two heroes, there was indeed the villain, as well as a bleeding and passed out Niki. “This can’t be right…” Tubbo said, clearly panicking, staring at the scene in front of him. “No… No! You- You can’t be! You-”
“You’re a traitor, Ranboo.” Innit hissed.
“It’s a true shame you two had to go out and search.” Ranboo growled. “Maybe you could’ve been spared the harsh truth for just a little longer.”
“Why?!” Tubbo shouted, tearing up. “Why go and betray us like that?!!”
“Oh please don’t cry Tubbo.” Ranboo stepped closer, reaching out to Tubbo. Tubbo quickly backed away.
“Don’t.” He spat. “I want nothing to do with you.”
“Tubbo-”
“Leave him alone.” Innit demanded. “Or else.”
“Or else what.” Ranboo slowly turned to Innit. “What are you gonna do? You have no powers left.”
“Wh-” Innit froze, realizing that his powers weren’t getting weaker, they were fading away. “What did you do.”
“What I had to.” Ranboo shrugged, stepping closer.
“You can’t do anything either.” Tubbo stated. “You’re powerless.”
“Am I?” Ranboo teleported, appearing behind Tubbo, shoving him to the ground. “Did you forget at least one you know of?” Innit lunged forward, trying to get to Ranboo, but Ranboo teleported away again. “Please. You two won't win.”
“How do you know?” Innit shouted.
“I’m much more powerful than you think.”
“Prove it.” Innit hissed.
“I didn’t just take away your powers, Tommy.” Ranboo grinned, shifting into a raccoon, clawing at Innit, teleporting out of the way any time Innit tried to fight back. “I claimed them as my own.”
“You’re horrible.” Tubbo said, holding back tears.
“Am I? How so?” Ranboo stepped closer. “I have my reasons behind everything. You and Tommy got lucky with powers at a young age. I was left with nothing. Tommy always reminded me how I was nothing compared to you two. So I made the decision that if I’m nothing and you two are everything, then we’ll be nothing together while everyone else is everything.”
“Then why hurt everyone else? Why not just me? Toby did nothing!” Innit shouted.
“I hurt others to give them the power that they weren’t originally gifted.”
"Do you even care that they're hurt..?” Tubbo asked quietly.
“I couldn't care less.” Ranboo chuckled.
“You're a monster.” Innit growled.
“A monster that you created.” Ranboo replied.
