The Grand War

Chapter 3

"What is the meaning of this?! I told you and Techno that we were to not trust her!" Wilbur's voice was loud and full of anger. "Wilbur, please, calm down. Technoblade found Mel terribly injured near Pogtopia and brought her here to heal her so she doesn't die." Tommy responded, quickly putting himself between Mel and Wilbur. "I don't care if she was injured! I want her gone now!" Wilbur yelled. "But Wilbur she'll die if we send her out there in this state!" Tommy tried to reason. Before Wilbur could respond another voice chimed in, "Lower your voices, I can hear your yelling from the outside. Are you trying to get up caught?" Technoblade asked Wilbur. "You! This is your doing isn't it!" Wilbur yelled as he turned and lunged at Techno. Techno simply dodged then replied, "Maybe it was, what are you going to do about it? You hold no power over me and we both know who would win a fight between us Mr. Soot." Wilbur glared at Technoblade, "Is that a threat?" Techno shrugged, "Only if you take it as such." Wilbur seemed to think for a moment, then pushed past Techno and Tommy to go down to the ravine. Tommy looked at Techo then rushed down to the ravine after Wilbur, most likely to try and calm him down. Techno sighed and glanced down at Mel, "At least it looks like she is healing well." Suddenly there was a knock at the dirt door, Techno looked up a bit panicked. He grabbed a sword and opened the door. Much to Techno's surprise there stood GeorgeNotFound. Techno lifted his sword and pointed it at George, "What are you doing here and how did you find us?" He questioned. George stared at the sword and then looked up at Technoblade, "I-i was told by Mel that if she ever was in trouble I could most likely find her here at these cords. H-how is she? Fundy came back and started to brag about how bad he hurt her...." He said, sounding incredibly worried. Techno sighed then moved to let George in, no matter how much he didn't want to. As soon as George spotted her he gasped and rushed over to her sleeping form. "Have you given her a healing potion?" He asked. Techno nodded, "Yea that all we could give her seeing as we recently got exiled." George's eyes filled up with regret the second Techno brought up the exile, though his goggles covered his eyes making it nearly impossible to notice. George opened his inventory screen and pulled out a golden apple, handing it to Techno. "Give that to her when she wakes up please." He said. Techno looked at the apple and then at George, "You're not going to stay?" He asked George. George only shook his head, "We both know no one wants me here, it's too risky." He says as he begins to leave. Techno watches him leave before covering up the entrance again and going back to watch over Mel. Soon one thing led to another and Techno fell asleep.

Time skip: the next morning

Mel groaned at the soreness in her body as she tried to get up. 'How long have I been out?' She thought. Taking a moment to look around she noticed Technoblade sleeping next to the bed, she sighed and got up completely. Taking a moment to assess how sore she was, Mel decided she was healed enough to leave. Suddenly she remembered the situation that went down and gasped, "Tommy!" Mel yelled and started to rush down to the ravine and calling out for Tommy. All the commotion had woken up the sleeping Techno, he noticed that Mel was missing and put two and two together. Quickly jumping up he chases after her, "Mel wait! Your body isn't ready to start moving so much so soon!" He called after her. Mel didn't listen and kept calling out for Tommy. Soon the young boy appeared and gasped when he saw her, immediately running to her. Once they reached one another they hugged. "See, I told you I would be ok." Mel spoke softly with a joking tone. "Yea, but that doesn't mean I wasn't worried you jerk. I had to pull a sword out of your side for crying out loud!" Tommy replied with a light chuckle. Techno soon caught up to them and sighed, "Mel you need to rest, you just woke up and your body isn't ready for all of this." He said. As the three of them shared a sweet moment Wilbur appeared to investigate what all the noise was about. "Oh, you're up now. Good. Get out." Wilbur said without any hesitation. Mel looked up at him with a glare, "I think you should be more polite seeing as I could easily sell you out mister wanted exile." She said and pulled Tommy to stand slightly behind her. "I am president of Pogtopia, you listen to me!" WIlbur spoke, getting aggravated with her presence. Mel scoffed, "I'm not a member of Pogtopia so actually I don't listen to you. You rejected me and my friends when we offered to join you. Like and idiot, remember?" Wilbur grew more angry and just stormed off instead of saying anything back. Mel then turned to face Techno and Tommy, "Has he always been this one edge and mean?" She asked them. Both boys shake their head no and she sighs. "Well I should be leaving anyway, I need to let George know I'm ok so he can let the other two know as well." Mel said as she started to head back up to the entrance. "Alright, just be careful. I'm sure they are still looking for you since there was never a death message in chat."  Techno called up to her and Tommy nodded in agreement. "They can't touch me on smp lands, so I'd like to see them try." Mel yelled back and then disappeared out the entrance. Once outside Mel made sure to get far away before turning in the direction of the smp side, hoping that no one who could have seen her would be able to use her to find Pogtopia. The walk to get there was long, but she managed to make it there with minimal issues. Mel was looking around the smp side of the server when she spotted three familiar boys all gathered together in the middle of the brick house. As Mel approached she heard what they were talking about, "Don't worry guys Technoblade said she would be fine by morning so I'm sure she will be out and about at any moment now." George said. 'Oh, he is telling them about me.' Mel thought to herself and she snuck up behind them. "Yea well I still want Fundy jailed for what he did." Sapnap grumbled. "Sapnap you know we can't jail him just because he fought her. If that was the case then every single one of us would also be in jail for fighting each other." Dream spoke up. "I don't know, I wouldn't mind seeing that fox in jail." Mel said as she wrapped and arm around Sapnap's shoulders and leaned onto his back, her chin resting on his left shoulder. The three boys gasped with excitement. "Mel! You're ok!" Sapnap cheered as he turned around to hug her. "Thank god you're ok, I was so worried after seeing the condition you were in!" George yelled as he joined the group hug. "I agree with these two, let me know if there is anything we can get you to help make you feel better." Dream said as he too joined the group hug. "Nice to know my idiot friends still care about me, but it's like three in the morning so as much as I loved this I should probably log off and get some rest." She said, but didn't move from the group hug whatsoever. "Alright Melony, we'll talk to you later." George said. "Yea see you tomorrow Mel." Dream said next. "Alright, night." Sapnap said, being the last one to speak. The four of them separated from the hug and Mel gave one last wave before her character disappeared from the game and a message in chat let everyone know she was gone.

POV: the real world with Melony

A girl who looked to be about twenty years old with clearly dyed pinkish-red hair and y/e/c eyes stood up from her gaming chair and stretched. "What a day." She said with a small yawn. Glancing at her phone she noticed it was around 4:20 am and she had yet to sleep. "Shit." Melony muttered and walked over to her closet to find some pajamas. Grabbing some shorts and an oversized hoodie she headed to her bathroom. Melony took a shower and then got ready for bed. By the time she was done it was now 4:45. She strolled back into her room and flopped down onto her bed, pulling the covers over herself and closing her eyes. Soon Melony passed out from exhaustion and fell into a dreamless slumber.
