Light And Darkness

Tubbo stood on the stone floor. He was surrounded by signs and dirt. Lots of dirt. Words scratched deep into the signs. Tubbo took out a newly sharp pocket knife. Going over the words, he moved his knife roughly as he made the words more bold and clear for him to read.

"Who set off the TNT??..."

"Why did Tommy visit the prison??..."

"Who KILLED Tommy?!..."

Anger fueled his veins as he read over the signs once again. His little bunker he made was far away from Snowchester. Invisible to the naked eye. Hidden away, just for him to know. For him to see.

"Why did he go back?..." Tubbo whispered to himself. He scanned his notes in a book which he keep in the bunker:

-Tommy Visits Prison (Why?)

-TNT goes off above them

-Tommy is trapped in prison

-Tommy Dies-Technoblade owns Dream a favour (What is the favour?)

Tubbo continued to look over his notes again and again to no avail. No new information was leading him closer to the question. Tubbo hurdled the book at the wall with a loud thump. He collapsed to the floor with his head in his hands. He could feel himself tearing up.

"He told me he was done... He said he would stop visiting... So why?" He mumbled.

He couldn't do this. He needed to be strong for Tommy. He needed to stand up for himself. To not be a pushover. Like Quackity told him.

--Flashback--

"Listen to me, Tubbo. He betrayed us. He keep secrets from us and failed L'Manberg. Our Nation. Our home. He needs to deal with the consequences!" Quackity yelled. To his surprise, Tubbo immediately shut him down on his advice.

"No. You listen to me. I have already said We. Are. NOT. Executing. Ranboo" Tubbo snapped, parting his word as if he was talking to a toddler. Taken back by Tubbo's anger and words, Quackity decided to drop the subject.

A few minutes ago, Dream announced Doomsday. Another Attack on L'Manberg. The final Attack. Without Wilbur in charge, Tommy took the lead after being in exile for months. Everyone scrambled for supplies. Weapons, Armour. Any type of resources to aid them in battle as instructed by Tommy. That Very same day, they found out Ranboo was a traitor. Not only has Ranboo been in contact with Tommy and Techno the whole time but Somehow, His Memory book got into Dream's hands, revealing all their plans...

Quackity suggested execution but Tubbo shot him down immediately. He said he wouldn't become the next schlatt. He already knew who he was.

He was Tubbo

"The simple fact is that you are too nice to people, Tubbo. Too caring and too loving. That Kindness will be used against you one day. I don't want you to be used or hurt, Tubbo. You need to grow a backbone," Quackity sighed. He gently placed his hands on the boys shoulder.

"Don't be the pawn in the chess game. Be the Queen. Show authority. Display Power. Sometimes a little bit of power can go a long way." With that, he removed his hands and walked away. Leaving Tubbo deep in thought.

--End of Flashback--

"Don't be the pawn in the chess game. Be the Queen."

Those Words planted themselves into Tubbo's mind. He wanted to help. He wanted to avenge Tommy's Death. He just need a little power.

Tubbo rose from the ground. He grabbed his shovel that was leaning against the wall and starting picking at the dirt covering his escape. He dug out a small hole big enough to crawl through. As he crawled out, he replaced the dirt, making sure to cover his bunker. The Sky was black with white glowing stars. The Moon illuminated like a huge light above him. How did it get so dark quick?

Tubbo sighed and dusted off his armour, removing all the dirt. He lifted his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead.

'Tubbo...'

Tubbo spun around quickly at his name. No one. The whisper was so clear as if someone whispered right into his ear.

"Hello...??" Tubbo called out in surprise. The wind whispered breeze past his ear. The whispers of the wind.

"Hello Tubbo_!" A cheery yet robotic voice called out. Tubbo jumped in shock and spun around to face a tall, green man with a creeper face. He placed his hand over his heart in an attempt to slower the rapid beating and let out a sigh of relief.

"Oh Sam Nook.. It's only you" He breathed with a chuckle.

"What are you doing out this late, Tubbo_?" Sam Nook asked, tilting his head to the side in confusion.

"I was... Uh... collecting... flowers for my bees" He replied quickly, grabbing a bunch of flowers from the ground that happened to be within his reach. He let out cheerful yet nervous smile.

Sam Nook fell silent for a moment before smiling back at Tubbo.

"I have been instructed by Tommyinnit to take you Home" He said. He gently placed his hands on Tubbo's shoulders to guide him back to Snowchester.

"I thought you were suppose to protect Tommy..." Tubbo said quietly after a few minutes of walking and silence.

"I am programmed to protect TommyInnit however, Tommyinnit has requested I protect you too. I am in protection of Tommyinnit and Tubbo_. Tommyinnit will be back in a few days so I must protect Tubbo_" Sam Nook replied to his statement.

Tubbo could feel his heart lift at the sentence. He find himself smiling. Tommy was protecting him, even in death and Tubbo was determined to return the favour. One day.

They were halfway to Snowchester until Sam Nook noticed that Tubbo was trailing behind. His steps were weak and uneven. His eyes were droopy as he failed to keep them open. Sam Nook stopped himself and turned to Tubbo. He was a child after all. Sam Nook placed Tubbo's arms around his neck and picked him up in a piggy back. Tubbo's arms wrapped tightly around his neck in order not to fall over. Sam Nook made sure to keep his steps slow and steady to not disturb the tired boy. To Tubbo, it feel like he was rocking himself as he let out a yawn. Failing to keep his eyes open, he mumbled something before drifting to sleep.

'Thank you, Dad...'

--Time Skip--

Tubbo cranked open his eyes and sat up slowly. He took in his surrounding. He was in his house. On his bed. He winced in pain as another migraine over took his head.

"Glad to see you are alive when Sam Nook brought you back, you were out cold." Ranboo said. Tubbo looked up as Ranboo climbed down the ladder from Michael's room.

"How long was I out for?" Tubbo muttered. His hand automatically rose to his head, massaging his forehead gently to relieve the pain.

"For about 5 hours. I stayed with Michael the whole time. Didnt want to wake you up since I know how much sleep you lack..." Ranboo replied.

He dropped down on the bed beside Tubbo and held his hand, revealing a small pill, which tubbo took.

"I figured you may need it" Ranboo then smiled as he stood up and walked out the front door, gently closing it behind him.

Tubbo popped the pill into his mouth before getting up for a glass of water.

Suddenly, A loud yell was heard. Ranboo. Tubbo quickly washed down the pill and rushed outside. His hand immediately covered his mouth, letting out a gasp at the sight before him. The large mass of Rabbits and Foxes were scattered around Snowchester. Their bloody corpses soaked in blood, staining the snow in red.

"What the..." Tubbo whispered in horror.
