I yanked Nymph off of a dying soldier. She squealed and wriggled. Drista knocked down the upcoming soldier but a spear ripped through her bicep. Nymph twisted,I let go of her to dodge her knife. She threw it straight at me. I lifted my leg which burst into pain.

Drista turned and slammed Nymph down to the ground.

"Gaaahhhh. Thanks Drista. Hold on for me. Mmmmfff."

I bit down till blood dripped onto my tongue. I pulled the knife out and wrapped my leg up.

"Boo listen I love you but you can't walk like that."

She stated, lifting a gagged and furious Nymph onto her shoulders.

Puffy showed up next to us. Reloaded and fired.

"Dream will be here any moment! What are doing?"

"Y/N can't walk! Neither can Minx!"

A gurgle and groan echoed from underneath us. I snatched a vine and a sword hilt. I saw a glint of something orange in Minx's pocket.

Three carrots. You little hungry child.

I attached them together.

"Do the same!"

I shouted tossing them carrots before launching myself off the bridge.

"Y/N!"

Drista's shout faded as I neared the lava. I lodged my scythe into the brick a split second from touching the boiling magma.

I jumped onto the creature. Drista and Puffy soon came down after.

"We ride East! Careful for crossbows and Dream. Stay under as many cavern roofs as possible."

We rode on striders. A sharp wind blew.

Shoot! He's here!

I closed my eyes and found skeletons roaming nearby.

Bows up.

Fire on sight.

"Drista mate, I'm going to need you to guide my strider here."

She grabbed the quickly made fishing rod.

I felt the skeletons start shooting. One fell to the winds. Another by axe. The last one by wind again.

"He's nearly behind us. Keep moving, but keep it low."

We continued our way through the nether, Sapnap limply behind me and Minx tied up in front of Puffy.

He's on the ledge above.

"Wait."

He's shifted to the right, heading back towards the fortress.

"Go go. Pick up our pace. He's gone to get his army. No doubt they've been stocking up while we've been away."

"How could you tell where he was going?"

"He destroyed skeletons which left bone particles on his clothes. I observed his movements through those."

Drista's face turned to awe.

"Amazing."

Freak.

"Where are we headed? What were they getting at the fortress?"

"Reinforcements."

"She said we have about two days! Be on the ready! We've seen Technoblade at the borders!"

I shouted orders as Tubbo and Ranboo ran up next to me.

"What news of her sudden escape?"

"None so far. But Dream's forces were seen splitting up over all regions."

Just then our soldiers burst into the hall. Tubbo unsheathed his blade.

"President! There's people coming through the Nether portal."

What?

We rushed there, calling orders to get ready.

When we got there we found grimed up people from a battle. Just then I noticed them. Purple hair, emerald eyes, tight white curls, bandana and hazel eyes and finally, short H/C hair with E/C eyes.

"Hey Tommy. Ranboo. President Tubbo. My apologies for dropping by so unannounced but I assure I make up for it in gifts."

Y/N sighed out.

"What's going on?"

"Didn't go as planned. Anyway great seeing you and uhh good luck."

What?

The ground around them flashed into orange and blue dust. The next I could see, they were gone.

"MAN YOUR STATIONS!"

Tubbo shouted.

The gift Y/N left us walked through the portal moments later. Mask on, and holding wither skulls.
