7 | Two Choices

Niki was with Tubbo almost throughout the preparations. They got ten days before the war, and they must make the most of it. The revolution waits for no man, just like what Technoblade said. The preparations got them so tired. They tried mining for ancient debris, but only got a set for Tubbo. Niki assured the younger that it’s okay that she'd go to the war just with an iron helmet and a diamond chestplate, trousers and boots with no enchantment at all— because what matters the most is they got the Blade on their side.

Tommy and Quackity trained for hours to kill Schlatt and Dream. They were informed that Schlatt has his own set of netherite gear, so that made him harder to kill. Because of that, they made Wilbur brew some potions for the squad.

Tommy wanted to give up. Their enemies are too heavy. They got Punz and Sapnap, who are also ones of the most powerful in the server if it’s based on gear. One who is easy to kill was Schlatt, because it was obvious that he’s only hiding in their backs, relying all of it to them.

But the memories keep flashing back in his mind. Funny that they used to just brew drugs on the camarvan, but now, look where they’ve come. They went through a war with the Dream Team, an election fallout and the festival. They went through a lot— it would all be useless if they give up now. Tommy knew they have to fight for their country— to reclaim what was theirs.

A bit and a bit, Wilbur has gone insane. Last night, Niki found her in the potato farm in their base, clutching the TNTs in his chest. His eyes were bloodshot, and his grin looks really creepy.

“Will, will,” Niki called repeatedly. She kneeled down in front of him, keeping his hair off his face so she could see him more. She slowly took the TNTs away from him, checking his body if there's any fresh wounds.

Wilbur suddenly held her arms, resulting her to gasp in surprise. He deadly stared at her; Niki's heart starts to beat rapidly in panic. “If I can’t have L'Manburg, then no one will,” He whispers to her in repeat like a broken disc.

It struck her. She avoided the older’s gaze, mumbling an inaudible sorry.

“Niki? Will?”

She opened her eyes and looked behind her. It was Techno— he looks like he was just awoken from his sleep. “Thank God you're here, Techno. Help me carry Will to his bed.” She said, grabbing Wilbur’s right arm and signaling Techno to assist her. The lad quickly helped the lass and carried Will to his bed.

Niki then thanked Techno for helping her. She heaved a sigh and looked at the TNTs outside. “What are we going to do with these…” she asked. Techno shrugged his shoulders. “If I were you, I won’t be in the way. You’d just be hurt, Niki.” He said sternly.

“But I’ll be hurt either ways, Techno. L'Manburg has been my home ever since.” she protested.

Techno rolled his eyes and turned back. “You’ll have to choose, Niki. You can’t just do both.” he answered and walked away from the scene to return to his slumber.

It’s either she'll be hurt or all of them would get hurt.
