Dream perked up, hearing a click...

Before he turned- he was shot by some- taser in his shoulder.

Dream winced as he felt to his knees.
"FUCK-" he spat as he felt his entire body feel a sense of pain.

"DREAM!" George's eyes widened, but before he could walk over- he was stopped.

"Don't step near him George." George's father aimed the gun at George.
"He's a monster, we kill them or have you forgotten." He firmly spoke.

"NO! He's not a monster!" George snapped, gripping his fists.
"DONT!" He shook his head.

George's dad was about to aim as Dream but the blonde grabbed the wire connected to his shoulder.

Dream yanked the wires out of his back, glaring over his shoulder... it wasn't as affective.

As the merchant quickly saw the blonde, he tried to shoot.

Dream used his tail to hit the flintlock up before quickly turning around.

The merchants eyes widened.. staring at the blonde as he tumbled back.

Dream grabbed the merchants neck, holding him up..
"What was your plan there." He flicked his other hands claws out.

George had a worried look.. staring at the two.... He didn't want either of them killed-
"Don't!-" he felt it was wrong to kill... his father.

Dream glanced over his shoulder.. his gaze softening.

He could end this... but he can't.

The merchant stared at Dream, a smirk soon appearing on his face.
"I should be asking you that... you chose to throw fire on a merchants ship- smart- yes?" He hummed.

Dream grew more concerned until his eyes widened- the lamp oil barrels...
"no..." he whispered.

Most merchants carry them as they are always popular among sailors and great for an extra buck in towns.

Dreams feathered ears pinned back, and quickly letting the merchant go.... That ship was a ticking time bomb.

He turned, staring at George with a worried look.. he had to get him off the ship- NOW.

"GEORGE-" Dream tried running to the brunette but stopped when he heard creaking.. that was not good.

George wanted to tell back- but was cut off when the ship next to them went up in flames...

The merchants ship side quickly exploded as all the lantern oil barrels heated up too much and exploded causing the impacted to hit the captains ship.

"FUCK-" Dream stumbled on his feet as the ship there was standing on was hit to the side.. beginning to tilt to the side.. he quickly stood on the mast.

George dug his claws into the wooden floor boards as the merchants ship crashed onto the captains.
"Nonono-" he mumbled to himself.
"HELP-"

The ships began to fall apart..

Dream looked around for the merchant... but he was nowhere in sight..
"DAMN IT-" he looked around before turning over when he heard George yell.

He saw George struggling to avoid the flames and the debris falling.

"GEORG-" Dream tried to dive for George- but was stopped when another dug talons into his back.

"Where do you think you are going hot shot?" The female griffin held dreams shoulders.
"I've been waiting for you." She hummed.
