We Are The Warriors

Panic and Run

Tommy stood within the Embassy, watching the Sun rise. He had already gotten confirmation from his father that Fundy needed to go to the healing lake for around ten minutes. Tommy was prepared to defend his fathers' land and name with nobility. He removed his armor as a show of strength and began his trek to L'Manberg. On the way down the ladder, he heard screams from across the field. He recognized them as Tubbos' and soon realized that he was under attack. He charged forward and applied his iron suit for safety. He arrived in L'Manberg and assessed the situation, trying to act like his father. 

"TOMMY!" Tubbo shouted from the gates of L'Manberg. "It's goin' down! It's goin' down right now! Head to the Power Tower, quickly!" 

"Pardon?" Tommy responded. Tubbo had already darted away. Tommy followed him. When they arrived, Tubbo explained his plan. 

"I've got end crystals and we're gonna trap the portal. The only way out is through the roof of the nether, so their only option will be to break bedrock," Tubbo half-shouted.

"Oh, okay," Tommy said, handing Tubbo his obsidian. He was still somewhat confused by the situation. "Have you done your preparations?"

"Yes, yes, everything is in my ender chest! I had to sacrifice one of the discs but it's fine," Tubbo said. Tommy froze for a second.

"Not one of my discs right?" Tommy questioned. Tubbo shook his head no. Tommy sighed of relief. "Those discs are my most prized possessions." 

"We're trapping all four of them," Tubbo said. "Wilbur will be pleased." Tommy nodded. He spotted Eret headed towards the Tower as well.

"What's happening?" Eret asked when he reached the top of the tower.

"I'm not exactly sure," Tommy said, greeting him. "Tubbos' just shouting commands at me here." He glanced away for a moment to adjust his gear. When he looked back, an end crystal was situated in front of the portal.

"Am I seeing this right?" Tommy asked. Tubbo nodded.

"Stand back," Tubbo said, assisting Tommy in building a defense wall for when they blew the crystal. 

"So we're trapping them now? 2b2t style?" Tommy asked. 2b2t was a faraway kingdom that survived on total anarchy and crystal PvP. 

"Apparently so," Eret said. He knew what was actually about to occur, however. He fled towards L'Manberg. As Tubbo was heading down to the Embassy to place his items in the ender chest, Dream and his men charged out from the bottom of the Power Tower. A piece of bedrock at the roof of the nether had already been broken for them. Tommy jumped with fear upon sight of the full-netherite warriors. 

"Eret, why did you break the bedrock?" Tubbo cried as he fought off Dreams' army. Eret simply shrugged. Inside, he laughed.

"I've been shot!" Tommy shouted. "I'll hold my ground!" An arrow whizzed by his head and exploded the end crystal. Tommy whimpered with fear, but held his own even without a bow or water bucket. 

"Head to L'Manberg!" Tubbo shouted.

"I can't!" Tommy yelled back. "I'm pinned down atop the Power Tower!" He looked around and considered his options. Dream and his men climbed the tower and Tommy chose to risk it and jump rather than fight. He landed painfully, but healed swiftly and raced to L'Manberg. When he arrived, he received a message from his father via owl.

"Fundy and I are on our way back. Five minutes. Tell the men to remain calm," Tommy read his fathers' scribbled words off of the paper to the two soldiers at his side. Eret blocked off the entrance and the men holed up in the yellow shed to wait for Wilbur and Fundy. Suddenly, Fundy could be heard from outside.
