~(Time skip three hours and thirty-five minutes, yes I did the math and hate myself for it)~

Tommy slowly regained his conscientious. The first thing he noticed was the smell of pancakes. The second thing he noticed was how heavenly this bed felt. Tommy knew he had to get up but honestly, he didn't want to even think about getting up. Tommy almost went back to sleep but the smell of fresh pancakes lured him up as his stomach growled angrily. Tommy sat up and stretched when he felt something cold on his wings. He looked back and saw someone and attached ice packs to his wings with badges. And honestly, it felt amazing. Tommy looked around and saw he was surrounded by cobblestone and a few chests, his bag was laying on the floor next to the bed, there was a ladder on the far right wall. He was clearly in a basement of some sort. Tommy started snooping in the chest where he found lots of different things. Diamonds, gold, seaweed, shells, potions, dirt, a heart of the sea, sand, glass, swords, and lots of other things. Tommy heard some talking from up the ladders and decided it was time to check it out he climbed up the ladder and saw there was a trap door. He opened it and climbed up, where he was greeted by another cobblestone room with chests after one more cobblestone room he was greeted by a wood house it wasn't super big but it was definitely big enough for a few people to live in and there was still another room above him. He looked around and locked eyes with- an enderman. Tommy let a pterodactyl screech and let go of the ladder and covered his eyes, which unfortunately meant he fell down the latter onto the trapdoor he'd just closed.

OW! Tommy shouted rubbing his hurt butt.

Holy shit! Are you okay? A voice asked.

Tommy looked up and was greeted by an enderian face, he almost screamed again but then he noticed 3 things. 1 He was only half enderian the other half was white, 2 he was talking, and endermen could only say a few specific words like, hey, what's up, and find the eye. 3 he didn't have purple eyes, his eyes were green and red.

Uh, yeah I meant to do that. Tommy said quickly standing up.

Tommy quickly scrambled up the ladder and stood on the wooden floor upon closer inspection of the room he saw a goat hybrid eating blueberry pancakes with a small zombie piglin who was wearing a onesie with a bee on it at a small table.

I'm Ranboo. The half-enderman said standing up.

Tommy looked at him again and he was pretty tall even taller than Techno.

And I'm Tubbo and this is our son Michael! The goat hybrid told him with a smile.

I'm Tommy, real quick how did I get here? Tommy asked as Ranboo guided him to the table.

Well, we were out playing in the snow when we saw you crash about a mile from our house so we picked you up and took you here and I put some ice on your wings for you big man! Tubbo said happily.

What time is it? Tommy asked, seeing that the sun was up.

9:20 roughly. Ranboo answered.

Tommy groaned in defeat the sent was already weak when he got here now it was most definitely gone. But Tommy's mopping was short-lived as his stomach started to growl.

Feel free to dig in big man. Tubbo said with a playful grin.

Michael was very seriously working on eating his pancake. Tommy smirked a bit at how serious this child was about his food but was happy he could eat. Tommy grabbed a pancake off the plate in the middle of the table and shoved it in his mouth, and holy molly it was awesome! Almost as good as Techno's. Tommy shoved four more pancakes down his throat before taking in more of his new acquaintance's looks. Tubbo was definitely a goat hybrid he had two ram horns growing in swirls on his head he also had bangs that covered his eyes, but something that really caught his attention was that he had a big scar going across his right eye it looked like a burn he'd have to ask about it later he was also short. Michael couldn't have been much older than Shroud he was pretty big and had some slightly puffy pink fur covering his body he had a teal eye on his left and the right side of his head was just skull he also had a pink furred ear with a gold stud in it. He had small tusk growing as well along with hooves where his hands and feet would be. Ranboo was tall with half-black skin with a little fur and a green eye on his right and white skin with a red eye on his left. He also had a furry tail and elf ears and long hair tied into a braid that was also black and white. He was wearing a suit while Tubbo was wearing thick brown pants and a black t-shirt with no sleeves.

So where are you from? Tubbo asked.

Oh, I'm not from anywhere, in particular, I kinda live in the woods with my dad and brothers, and my son and my nephew. Tommy answered

Sweet, are you nearby? Ranboo said politely.

Oh no, nowhere near here it took me almost all night to fly here. Tommy told them.

Ranboo and Tubbo looked at each other.

Do you know how to get back? Tubbo asked.

Oh yeah, we live West of here so all I have to do is follow Phil's old compass- Tommy reached in his pocket to pull out the compass but quickly found he didn't have it. Tommy abruptly stood up and started looking through his pockets but couldn't find it.

Lose something, big man? Tubbo asked putting the dirty pancake plate in the sink.

It's probably in my bag. Tommy said rushing down the latter, that compass was his only way home.

He had brought a map but it didn't go out this far. Tommy bolted to his bag but to his despair, it was gone. Tommy silently swore under his breath. He climbed back up the ladder and sat at the table with his head in his hands Tubbo gave Ranboo Michael and sat next to Tommy.

Hey, chin up big man! We've got plenty of compasses you can use! Tubbo said trying to reassure him.

Tommy shook his head.

No. I should have never come here in the first place, Wilbur warned me. He told me this was stupid. I promised I won't go alone. And what did I do? I went alone. And I won't even be able to find those dang hunters! Tommy said to the point of tears.

Tubbo froze.

Hunters? Hybrid hunters? Why would you be looking for them? Tubbo asked suddenly becoming a little cold.

Tommy explained the whole end of the world prophecy and how Phil had died and how they'd gotten revenge then Techno becoming a hog then them figuring out that they were being watched.

And that's all of it. Tommy said still sulking.

Tubbo was thinking about everything he'd been told, it sounded insane but he believed him. Tubbo looked back at Ranboo who was playing with blocks with Michael.

I know where the hunter's base is. Tubbo whispered so low even Tommy's increased hearing almost missed it.

Tommy's head shot up.

C'mon big man let's get you a compass! Tubbo said in a fake cheery voice while leading him back to the basement.

Tubbo got very serious once they were both down there. Tubbo pulled out a map from a chest a rolled it across the floor he grabbed a pencil and circled a heavily wooded area on it.

That right there is one of their bases. Tubbo said with a frown.

One? Tommy asked.

There are lots all over the world, and any hybrid or type of hybrid deemed dangerous is hunted and killed. Tubbo said with a glare at the map.

Is that how you got your scar? Tommy asked staring at the map, it was only a few miles from Tubbos house.

Yeah, I was a real skinny kid back then I barely had nubs for horns and I was trying to burn down their fort when I got caught they decided public humiliation was the best way to deal with me so they locked me in this box thing in front of a bunch of kids in training and shot me in the face with a firework. After that, they threw me out and told me not to come back. Man, my dad was so livid. Tubbo smiled at the memory, he had babied him for months after that.

He went and burned down the fort himself and even laid out some tnt for good measure. Tubbo said.

What was his name? Tommy asked enraptured in Tubbo's story.

Schlatt. Tubbo answered.

But we're getting off track! I can take you there. And I'll help. Tubbo said with a confident grin.

Are you sure that's a good idea? It sounds risky for you to come. Tommy said a bit worried about his new friend.

Ha! Like I'm gonna let the guy who just fell out of the sky worry about me. Tubbo said gently elbow jabbing Tommy.

Alright! Let's-wait. Why didn't we just have this conversation upstairs? Tommy asked.

Ranboo doesn't like getting involved with hunters much less me getting involved. Tubbo said with a shrug as he put everything away.

Oh, yeah, no offense but when I saw him I could just tell he was a wimp. Tommy said nodding his head.

Tubbo laughed at that.

We can go after you're healed up but for now, I'll show you around so you don't get lost. Tubbo said climbing the latter.

Tommy quickly followed with a grin.

Hi! I'm Flowey! Flowey the flower! And I've corrupted all of nums files! They are trying to beat me but they won't~ Make sure to catch the friendliness pellets! *Hits Flowey with a bat* NO! THEY DESERVE ANSWERS! The hunters do kinda work like the government and do often communicate threats to each other but there are also "Hybrid Hunters" which are basically poachers that the "government" won't do anything about it though cause they see hybrids as dangerous. Hybrid hunters don't often work together but for a big prize, say a hybrid who's the last of his kind, someone could definitely orchestrate something. *screams like a trash goblin as millions of nukes are dropped around me*
