      In which Tommy has to grow up.

      Or, the last time we will see weakness from the villain.


"Shit."

Sapnap watched in horror as orange flames flicked across the night sky, darting and sparking.

"Shit shit shit shit shit-"

A yellow monster ate away at the tower, the pretty tower. He watched as the supports crumbled, only a black husk remaining. It was too late. Too late.

"Shit..."

George was next to him, the flames reflected in his clout glasses. "He really did it, huh?"

Sapnap ran his fingers through his long black hair with stress. "Oh god, how am I going to explain this to Karl- we worked so hard on that thing-"

He tore his bandana off in frustration. "I'M GONNA KILL THAT BASTARD KID!"

George looked up as the flames ate away at the last of the tower.

It's funny how something that took so long to make can be destroyed in an instant.

Suddenly, the tree boughs next to them rustled, a disgruntled cat stumbling out. A chunk of fur was missing from his arm, and he cradled it with pain.

"Did I hear something about killing Tommyinnit?"

---

"So.... we did it."

"Yeah."

Tommy could see the orange finally flicker away over the trees. The giant cobblestone tower loomed behind them.

"We did it."

And now Tommy just felt tired.

It was nighttime.

He realized that now.

And he still didn't feel better.

He watched as Skeppy shifted awkwardly, trying to warm up Bad in the breezing night air.

He looked over at Dream, who was smirking at him.

He had gotten what he wanted.

A new Tommy.

Ready to cause chaos.

But this time, with even more destruction.

He looked down.

The armor fit him perfectly. His crossbow hung at his side, his hand fitting every crack with expertise.

But he didn't feel any sense of pride, or happiness.

He just wanted to go home.

And have a nice sleep.

And maybe a good cry or two on Wilbur's shoulder, and a few pat on the backs, and for Wilbur to sing him to sleep with his guitar.

But he was too old for that.

"TOMMYINNIT!"

Tommy turned around to see an angry trio storming towards them, Sapnap in front, sword in hand. He pointed it straight at Tommy's neck, fire in his eyes.

"You fucked up."

Tommy didn't look him in the eye, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword. "You killed my cow."

"YOU BURNT DOWN MY TOWER!" Sapnap's arm trembled.

"I-I didn't."

The lie slipped out of his lips before he could stop it.
