At the Syndicate Meeting Area...
“Remember that Snowchester place we checked out a few weeks ago?”
Ranboo had been confused when he got an emergency call from Phil saying how there was an important meeting and it was imperative that he came but he ran over from Snowchester, leaving a still-sleeping Tubbo in their bed (having decided on a shared bed for their mansion after the constant nightmares the duo had from their pasts - allowing them to comfort the other quicker as well as it was easier for them to snuggle with Michael).
He mistaken the lava that he needed to jump into to reach said base, “I really need to write that down”, again but eventually reached the meeting place, finding him to be the last one to arrive, “I came as soon as I heard. What’s up?”
“Remember that Snowchester place we checked out a few weeks ago?”
It was obvious that Ranboo was shocked, he tried to hide it but he wasn’t very good about it, “What about Snowchester?” He asked, pulling out his communicator under the table - ready to message Tubbo as soon as he could.
“It’s became a...problem. We think it’s forming a government and so we have to take it out. First, we need to find something, anything that Tubbo holds dear enough for him to sacrifice his last life.”
Too frozen to move. Too frozen to even warn his platonic husband about the incoming threats. Not too frozen to acknowledge the hands in front of his face to snap him out of his trance, “Wha-what?”
“We asked if you know anything that could help us against the government?”
“Uhh...I need to go feed my animals.” He says before running out of the meeting and straight towards Snowchester. Unknowingly, the other people who he had been meeting with followed him. Followed him all the way to the secret.
He only noticed them when he turned around, after hearing Michael’s confused snort, in Michael’s bedroom and saw all three of them barricading the doors to the exit, “Oh no...”
“So you do know something about Tubbo and decided to hide it from us?”
Knowing that there was nothing he could do, he held Michael close to him and tried to get as much comfort as he could, “This is Michael B- Beloved, mine and Tubbo’s son. He’s adopted from the nether. Found him at the bottom of a lava lake and nobody was helping him, he followed us home.”
“I didn’t need his life story, the only time you’re allowed in Snowchester is to get your stuff then you’re never to set foot in Snowchester again.”
“I-I understand...” He waited until they left to set Michael down and quickly left the room. He knew that the stress from Techno’s visit and protecting Michael and Tubbo wasn’t good until he was alone but it was taking over. The enderstate had taken Dream’s voice because from what he had heard, Dream was the big bad guy. The source of nightmares. The juxtapositional irony. The guy named Dream giving people nightmares. He knew that the enderstate wasn’t good news but he didn’t know how bad until now. He had shown violence in the enderstate before but never up to death.
Which is why he didn’t expect to come out of the enderstate with Tubbo bloody and bruised but breathing. Immediately, he started panicking and the panic began to build until, instead of the enderstate, he gained purple particles and teleported him and Tubbo to Puffy. He didn’t explain what happened but Puffy took him anyways and began to clean him up. He quickly left to go see Michael and bring him to Puffy so he is safe and looked after. Soon after Michael was safe with Puffy, he didn’t stay like he probably should’ve but he ran. He knew he couldn’t go to Snowchester or Artic Commune so the next best place is the place where he first met the Dream voice.
He vowed never to return to this place but desperate times count for desperate measures and his desperate measure was making sure he never hurt his family again. Signs on the entrance we’re replaced by obsidian. More signs were placed to remind him of what he did. It was inevitable but after half an hour of him trapped in that box, the voice appeared.
“You showed them Michael”
“They messed with your memory book, made you believe that they didn’t hurt you. Didn’t betray you. Dream was your only friend but you turned against him. They want him to be alone.”
The voice repeatedly stating lies after lies with sprinkles of truth to give Ranboo the doubt the voice needed to get into his head. Ranboo had soon realised what the voice was doing and tried to escape but breaking the obsidian with his hand was basically impossible and Ranboo was twisted to the will of the voice.
Tubbo has woken up soon after Ranboo had left, thanks to the health pots he was practically back to normal, “Ranboo?! Ranboo!” He called, remembering what the enderman had done but forgave him after he saw the dullness in Ranboo’s eyes showing that he wasn’t in control. “He left once he brought Michael here, I thought he would’ve returned but he didn’t.” Puffy had informed him while handing him the zombie piglin child.
Tubbo held him close but passed him back to Puffy, “I need to find Ranboo, can you watch him til I get back?” Puffy knew best not to anger Ranboo or Tubbo when it came to their other half or child so she quickly agreed and decided to bring Michael to see Michelle.
First stop was Snowchester, it took a awhile to search the mansion and his old base but there was no sign of Ranboo.
Next stop was the worst stop but he knew he needed the extra hands.
Quickly, he made his way to the Artic Commune but, unlucky for him, it was the one day Phil and Techno were working on a build outside. He tried to sneak to Ranboo’s old house but was quickly caught, “Tubbo we see you there, mate.”
Sighing, he went over to the duo, “I’m looking for Ranboo. He was in his enderwalk state and hurt me, a lot, but he got me somewhere safe before he disappeared. I’ve checked Snowchester and decided to look here because he counted here as his home.”
“If Ranboo’s missing then we should find him.”
“No, he is probably exploring.”
“Techno, I know you’re upset about him keeping a big secret from us but his life could be in danger.”
“This is more than a secret Phil! He betrayed us for a government!”
“We didn’t even know they were forming a government! You just assumed because Tubbo was a former president, he didn’t even want the position. It was basically forced on him. From what I could hear before I found Wilbur that day, it went from Wilbur to Tommy to Tubbo. You look at him like I did Wilbur when he first came here. You think hes like your son and that’s alright but you can’t just not try and save him because he founded a family.”
“...Fine. We search the SMP but once he’s found, he’s not welcome anymore.”
To say it was awkward is an understatement, it seemed like the longest trip to the SMP ever! Eventually they made it and began searching for the enderman.
They talked to a bunch of members who were enjoying their time but none of them had seen Ranboo today.
They met up at the community house and began walking to talk about potential locations but it soon directed into a different topic, “Michael has a middle name, Ranboo chose it. He said it was an ender tradition for their child’s middle names to be related to someone special to them but I’m not sure who Michael’s middle name relates to.”
“Billium. Michael Billium Beloved.”
Techno immediately looked to Phil who seems sheepish, “I may have told him that your real name is Billium.” “You- ugh I’ve given up on trusting people with my secrets.” Techno groans and notices a black figure near the prison and walks over to it.
Flurries of purple surrounded Techno but he wasn’t teleported but instead the figure came closer, the particles were the only thing stopping Techno from moving. Soon enough, Techno could make out the figure.
Ranboo was the one near the prison and, from the looks of it, had made a big hole in the side of the prison.
Unfortunately for them, the enderstate had made Ranboo very aggressive and he began to attack Techno, causing Phil and Tubbo to try and stop him.
Inside, Ranboo screamed. He tried to stop the enderstate from hurting his friends and husband. It ended up with Techno being bruised and Phil with a broken arm and multiple bruises before the enderstate turned to Tubbo. That caused a distress in the control. Showed through the hesitant actions made by Ranboo and his dull eyes flashing like a a robot running out of batteries. One hit. One hit is all it took on Tubbo for Ranboo to take control but seemed to be struggling.
Tubbo seemed to see how Ranboo was acting now and went over to try and encourage Ranboo to take control, “Ranboo come back to us, come on Ranboo.”
“Tubbo get Sam, Sam can help. Please just get Sam.” He begs then begins calling for Sam, which Tubbo tried to stop but it was in vain as Sam came running, “Ranboo wha-? Why are you shouting?” Sam asks panicked. “Get Tubbo away, get them all away. Lock me up Sam. It’s gonna hurt things.”
Does Sam lock up Ranboo or do they work things out?
Find out never because I’m sleep deprived and worked on this during Puffy’s stream. None of this is canon and I believe I got the Billium name from an image on Tumblr but can’t remember the @.
Hope you enjoyed and sorry for this being long, those in the tag. I’m on mobile and can’t add a continue reading.
