"Gather all of our supplies! Anything we have!" I heard Tommy shout from outside my door to everyone in the ravine. As far as I could tell everyone was all set to go besides me. I was currently standing in front of the small dirty mirror hung up on my wall. Despite hearing Tommy's obvious shout that meant it was almost time to go, I didn't move. I just continued staring at myself in the mirror. I was fully dressed in the suit Techno had given me yesterday. The only thing missing now was the crown. Which hung at my side in my right hand.

I have to kill my father today.

I thought to myself. As gruesome and terrible as the idea sounds, it's the only way. And after everything he's done to me, Tommy, and...my mother, he deserves it. But he's still my father, and the thought of having to kill him makes me sick. I felt Champ rub against my leg as he whimpered as though he could sense my turmoil. I gave him a pat on the head before looking back in the mirror and sighing.

I just have to remind myself that he was never really our father. It was all fake. He was just using us to get what he wanted.

I took a deep breath and shook the thoughts from my head. I then brought the crown infront of me and looked down at it.

"He dies today." I stated outloud to no one. I then looked back up into the mirror and placed the crown on my head. I then looked down at Champ and said goodbye before joining the others in the ravine.

Dream's pov

"Where's Schlatt." I demand once George, Sapnap, and I reached the top of the tower in Manburg. Everyone begins to look around as if they hadn't noticed he was gone. It's silent for a while before Punz finally steps forward.

"It doesn't matter. The people of Pogtopia are on their way here. We have no choice but to fight without him." He says before turning back to look over the edge of the tower. The rest of the group also returns to their former tasks of preparing for the fight.

"Dammit." I mumbled under my breath as I walk over to the edge of the tower as well. I began scowering the land for any sign of the worthless drunk when my eyes catch sight of a glistening crown behind some bushes on the edge of Manburg. My first thought was that it was Techno and the rest of the scrappy crew from Pogtopia but then I see the crown move up and I see her. She's looking over the bush, probably checking to see if it's safe to move forward. I know I should alert everyone that they're here but I'm frozen. I watch her as she scans the buildings and her eyes land on me. I see her breath catch as she hesitates. We both should be telling our respective groups that the enemy is here but we don't. I suddenly remember that punz had pulled the others over for a quick run down so no one was near me. I lifted my mask so it sat on my head. I gave her a small smile that said it all.

I love you, I'm sorry.

She thought for a second before returning a sad smile and then quickly ducking back behind the bush.

I'm sorry too.

"The enemy is here!" I shouted to the men behind me as i pulled my mask down.

Ophelia's pov

"Everyone into the base." Techno said before jumping into the small pond and disappearing. Everyone began looking around in confusion trying to see if they should go or not. I laughed before rolling my eyes and following Techno into the water as I shouted,

"What are you waiting for he said into the base." The water was freezing but it didn't last long because once I reached the hole in the ground I was falling through the air. I would've tried to catch myself with my wings if it weren't for the fact that the hole was only one block wide. Definitely not wide enough for me to spread my wings. So I just accepted my fate and trusted that Techno wasn't letting me plumet to my death. And I was right because after what felt like forever I landed in a puddle of water with a splash. Techno reached down and helped me out just before Tommy softly landed in the same puddle. Everyone started filing in one by one into the cramped room. I looked around and saw afew chests mounting the walls here and there and an enchantment table with book shelves off to the side. The people of Pogtopia began raiding Techno's chests as he walked into the small enchanting room with me following close behind.

"You guys are going through my normal stuff, this," He said breaking a stone block beneath him, "this is the real stuff." He said as he lowered himself down a previously hidden ladder. I again followed suit and was more than pleased with the sight in front of me. A huge black isle with chests lining the entirety of each wall was layed out before me. There were even filled armor stands at the end of the hall.

"Hol-ly shit!" Screamed Wilbur and a bunch of others as they all joined us in the hidden room.

"I AM READY FOR REVOLUTION BOYS!!" Techno shouted above everyone as they all erupted in excitement and began raiding the new chests. Techno and I then stood back and watched the chaos since we both already had our needed supplies.

"Well done." I said smiling. "This is quite impressive." He laughed.

"Is it really that surprising?" He monotoned. I shook my head.

"Considering the crazy amount of time you spent gathering supplies? No not really." After everyone seemed content with their items we left the base and made our way to Manburg.

...

As I ducked back behind the bush I informed everyone that the enemy was on top of the tower.

"Alright we've only got one option." Wilbur spoke flatly. "We storm the tower!" He then shouted raising his sword and running forward. Tommy was quick to follow him and I was about to as well when I saw my father standing near a building not too far away.

"Ophelia don't." Techno said as he placed a hand on my shoulder. "He wants you to follow him." I watched my father walk behind the building before I turned to Techno.

"Keep Tommy safe." I said before freely releasing my wings, thanks to my new outfit, forcing his hand off my shoulder, and flying to the building I saw my father duck behind.

Dream's pov

"Storm the tower!" I heard someone shout from down below and I gave the men the order to shoot at the targets below.

"There going inside the tower and climbing up the ladders!" Someone shouted. I turned around and began firing at the people climbing but they held on.

"Jump down now!" I shouted as I threw myself off the tower with everyone behind me. By the time Pogtopia reached the top of the tower we were all headed for the base of the podium. I almost reached it when I saw something out of the corner of my eye. I paused and went to take a closer look. When I saw who it was an overwhelming feeling of rage, fear, and many other emotions I couldn't quite put my finger on took me over and I began running towards them.

Towards her.
