End Quest

The Gaurd

Re-Re Stona City, as Dream explained it, was a large busy town, with tons of shops, food, blacksmitherys, and guards. "Guards?" George asked. "It's one of the biggest hubs for commercial trade, the king has it guarded and patrolled 24/7." Dream said. "Most guards don't care about newcomers so long as they don't cause trouble.

As Dream talked and explained how the city worked, his guard remained up. And he was glad it was.

SNAP!

Dream wiped out the sword and got in front of the boys, glaring at the spot the snap came from. "Come on out now!" Dream demanded. Out came a blond boy that looked no older than Sapnap. "Tommy, where's the rest of your patrol." Dream said with a growl. Tommy rolled his eyes, fixing his helmet. "Why should I tell you?" "TOMMY! GET BACK HERE!" A loud voice called. "Better get going your commander is calling you." Dream said with a slight snear and teasing tone.

Tommy grumbled as he walked off. "Who was that?" "One of the guards." "He looked pretty young." Bad said. "He's not the youngest in his patrol group." Dream said, as he kept on walking. The boys watched the bushes before running after Dream.

Dream growled under his breath. Of course he had to run into that group. He had a rivalry with the leader of that certain patrol group, and any other day he wouldn't have minded a fight with Tommy, but he had 4 still new to fighting boys with him and he wasn't in the mood for any risks right now.

As the group reached a clearing, Dream glanced up at the sky, the sun was already setting. "We are gonna camp here." Dream said. "Camp?" "Stay the night, and pick up heading to the city in the morning." Dream said. "I'll set up camp, you 4 got back to practicing with your chosen weapons. Remember no death blows." Dream said. The 4 nodded. Dream before starting to set up, gave them some tips on how to do some of his fighting tricks.

Dream was soon up in a tree keeping watch from above, camp completely set up. His sharp ears listening for anything. His eyes scanning the clearing. Glancing down at the 4, he honestly wasn't shocked with their weapon choice. George and Sapnap had both chose swords, tho Sapnap had a dagger attached to his leg, Bad held a bow in hand and a quiver on his back, he had some of the best aim Dream had ever seen, Skeppy was attacking trees with an axe, making Dream smirk. Yet something else caught his eye, an arrow head shimmered in the darkness.

It wasn't even 20 seconds after that a group of 6, one being Tommy, rushed out, scaring the 4 boys training. Dream saw red, and quickly drew his own bow. "Well well well, I didn't think you were right Tommy." A pig hybrid said. "I never lie about your rival Techno sir." Tommy said with a smirk on his face. Dream fired a warning shot at the 6, flying right above Tommy's head. The pig man looked and a smile grew on his face. "Nice shot Dream. I see that your aim has gotten worse since I saw you last." "Why are you here Technoblade? Other than to scare them." Dream said with a growl. Techno looked around at Bad, George, Sapnap, and Skeppy. "Odd lot you've chosen to protect." Techno said with a smirk. Dream rolled his eyes behind the mask. "Odd that you actually chose to join a patrol." Dream said mincing Techno's dry tone.

Dream jumped out of the tree, arrow knocked in the bow ready to be drawn. "Dream, what's going on? Who are they?" Sapnap asked. "They are some of the guards I was talking about earlier, but these one are a pain in the ass." Dream said. "Normally the pig isn't with them." "Hey what can I say I was bored." Techno said, his sword appearing. Dream's group looked at Dream, who seemed to be forming a plan.

"How about you and your patrol get going, after all, it would be rude to fight people when they are training." "I don't know Dream, how about a spar between your guys and mine." Dream looked at the boys. They all were nodding to him. "Let me talk to them first, then I'll give you my answer." Dream said, waving over his boys.

On the other side of the clearing, Dream sighed. "You guys aren't ready for this... " He said. "That doesn't mean we can't try." Sapnap said. "Think of it as a test to see if we are ready for dad's gift." George said. Dream thought about it, then nodded. "Alright if you can beat one of them, you'll get your gift." Dream agreed begrudgingly. "Alright Techno, let's spar." Dream said, walking back over to Techno crossing his arms. "Wooden weapons only." "Sounds fine to me." Techno said.

Dream nodded to Techno. "Alright, Tommy, you're up first." Techno said. Tommy set up, a sword drawn. Dream nodded to Sapnap. Dream knew that if Sapnap could get Tommy mad enough that Sapnap could take the win. Sapnap stepped forward, drawing his own swords. "Dream, your count." Techno said.

As Dream counted down, Sapnap had slowly been backing up toward a tree. "GO!" Dream called. Sapnap ran at the tree, while Tommy ran at Sapnap. Using the tree, Sapnap kicked off it, launching himself at Tommy, albeit a bit shakery than Dream, but it was a powerful launch. Sapnap angled himself midair, kicking Tommy in the stomach. Tommy was set back a few feet, as Sapnap slowing himself down with a roll, Sapnap quickly pinned Tommy, sword pressed to Tommy's neck. "Dream, I gotta ask... did you train them?" Techno asked, looking at Sapnap. "I'm not telling you anything." Dream said, helping Sapnap backup on his feet. Sapnap looked very proud of himself.

The next pair was Bad and a man taller than Techno, with yellow hinted in his dark brown eyes, his name was Wilber according to Techno. Bad's hand went to his quiver but not to the arrows but to the underside of the bag. "GO!" Techno called. Wilber ran at Bad, sword out. Bad dodged and blocked Wilber using his bow. Bad knocked Wilber back with the bow. The pair sword fought, Bad with his bow and Wilber with an actual sword. Bad flipped back, mimicking Dream from that morning, nocking an arrow mid flip. The bow aimed at Wilber's chest. Wilber put his hands up.

George was up next with a small brown haired boy, Tubbo. Tubbo and George both held swords. "GO!" Dream called out, George and Tubbo ran at each other, blades colliding. George pushed harder, using his large build to his advantage, knocking Tubbo off balance. Under his mask Dream looked extremely proud.

The final matchup was Skeppy and a man in sunglasses, Eret. Skeppy had his axe in hand, while Eret had his sword at the ready. "GO!" Techno called, and Eret wasted no time attacking Skeppy. Skeppy blocked and dodged as fast as he could, however Eret was faster. Skeppy yelps as Eret accidently cut off his eyepatch off. Skeppy yanked his beanie over the once covered eye, charging Eret, swinging down at Eret. Eret didn't have enough time to block before he fell hard to the ground. Dream ran over to Skeppy holding him back from Eret, and close to himself. Techno helped Eret up.

"Techno, let's g-." "We aren't done." Techno said back to Eret. "No we are." Dream said, "Go." Dream handed off Skeppy to Bad, who held Skeppy close. "Not so fast Dream. One more than we go." Techno said. Dream growled. "Fine!"

The last match was a 2 v 1, Techno and a fox hybrid, Fundy, vs Dream. Dream hands where in his cloak, Wilber began the count down. "GO!" Wilber yelled. Dream stayed put as Techno and Fundy charged him, and at the last second Dream leaped in the air. He hit Techno on the back of the head with his foot, dodging Fundy completely. Techno crashed to the ground hard. Dream's axe appeared in his hand, as he landed back on the ground. Fundy pulled his sword out, and charged Dream, Dream stepped back, and dodged before grabbing Fundy, making the fox eep. Techno got up, and froze, Dream had Fundy, an axe to his neck. "Okay, okay, you won." Wilber said, "Let him go." Dream releashed Fundy. Fundy ran over to Wilber, while Tommy and Tubbo grabbed Techno. "Now go!" Dream said. The guards left, not arguing with the masked man.

Once the guards were gone, Dream's attention turned to Skeppy. "Skeppy? You okay?" Dream asked. "M-my e-eye p-patch, I n-need it!" Skeppy whined softly, slightly muffled. Sapnap held up the broken eye patch. "I think it's gone Skeppy..." Sapnap said. Skeppy turned around, his face clear.

"Skeppy, you're a gem!?"
