Heroic Villain - The Dream SMP

Chapter 15: Promise

I was all dressed now, standing on a decent distance from where Tubbo was currently giving his speech.

They made him president.

He finally got what he deserved after all of his hard work.

He made it.

I was proud of him, but also scared. I'd seen what that power did to Schlatt and it wasn't good. I'm sure Tubbo is a good kid, but it's a hard world with even harder people.

Two people out of the crowd grabbed my attention. One of them being Techno, who didn't seem too happy about this all.

The other being...

Dream.

He was looking straight at Tubbo, trying to hide his nervousness, but to me it was obvious. Something was about to happen and it sure wasn't good.

Tubbo finished his speech and came down from the podium. They started to break down some stuff, but Techno was quick to interrupt.

He started going on a rant and I could imagine the exact words coming out of the anarchist.

I was stood on a hill behind Techno, and quickly caught the attention of a few members who looked rather scared.

I had a netherite sword in each of my hands and my cape wavered through the air.

That had been the last sight for a lot of people already and they all thought it would be theirs too.

I crossed eyes with Dream and saw he was surprised as well. I couldn't blame him, everyone thought I left.

While everyone was looking at me, Technoblade took his chance to attack Tubbo.

It hurt me to not be able to help him, but I made one promise that I had to follow.

My eyes scanned the now chaos of a crowd, for Quackity. I quickly spotted him and made my way there without getting noticed.

When I got close enough I pulled Quackity with me and made sure he didn't start screaming.

I brought him all the way to Eret's tower and finally let him go.

He turned to me ready to scream, but when he saw it was me he started saying some kind of prayer in Spanish.

"Just make it quick please." Quackity says as he drops to his knees in front of me.

"I'm not killing you. I made a promise." I tell him.

"A what?" Quackity asks shocked.

"A promise. I promised Schlatt to keep you safe." I tell him and he starts laughing.

"I knew he loved me." He says with a proud smirk. "Please don't haunt me cause I said that." He quickly adds.

"Just, stay here. I'm going back in." I tell him.

"What? Why?" He asks me shocked. "I thought you were supposed to leave after the revolution. That's what Schlatt told me."

"I know, but I have something to take care of." I tell him and he nods understandingly.

Time to finish some unfinished business...
