3rd Person Omniscient POV

"So how are we going to kill Dream?" Tubbo asks Tommy nervously.

"We'll do what you did last time, except it's going to work this time. Host a festival, invite Dream, tell the people about what he did, and execute him"

"Like Techno's execution" Quackity says.

"Yeah," Tommy's mind wanders at the thought of his brother.

"What if Dream tries to escape? Or worse, kill us?" Fundy asks worriedly.

"Don't worry, everyone is in on this already. They just have to keep Dream from leaving. We already sent the invitations."

"What about Nightmare?" Jack asks. "No doubt she's with him and will definitely try to prevent this"

Shit, Tommy hadn't thought about her.

"We just have to hope we can kill Dream before she shows up"

"I hope she doesn't come" Fundy fiddles nervously.

"She will, we just need be on alert"Quackity smiles at the thought of Dream getting what he deserved.

"The festival will be in 4 days, in 4 days, the Smp will finally be at peace"

Nightmare watches the group plan with a smile.

How could they be so stupid to discuss their plans so openly, outside of all things.

Dream is positioned on top of a tree, listening intently.

Nightmare taps her wrist telling him that they have to go.

Dream ender pearls off into the forest ad she follows soon after.

"This could be a problem" Dream says.

"Yeah, you don't say" she answers sarcastically.

"What are we supposed to do?" Dream picks up a leaf and shreds it.

"You're the leader remember? You can come up with something"

Dream gazes off into the sunset, not sure what to do.

Counter a plan, with an even better one.
One that is chaotic, obvious, elaborate, and unpredictable.

"I have an idea in mind" he smiles.

"And what could that possibly be?"

"Call a meeting, we have plans to discuss"

As the allies file into the meeting room, Dream sits down and Nightmare slips out quietly into the cool night air.

Following her compass North.

"So I'm sure you've heard there is going to be a festival,"

They nod holding up invitations.

"I also got one" Dream holds up the card. "Obviously they wouldn't just invite me to a festival without any other motives right?"

"It's an execution plan" Bad says. "They're going to have us surround you, and kill you"

"Oh I know, but we'll be ready for them. After this festival, we will be at war with them"

"War?" Ant repeats.

"Yes, this will be when you reveal where your true loyalty lies"

"Won't that get us caught?" Eret asks.

"Not if we're able to get out of there in time, we'll prepare for war quickly and take them down"

The table cheers and Dream smiles.

"Here's how it's going to play out. When I get to the festival, I'll have no armor as it's required by the invitation. Assuming one of you will be the one to catch me, put me in that weird cage that I saw them building earlier. Drop an anvil on me, and kill me. Except not, I will secretly obtain a totem of undying and use that to survive. I will get my armor and weapons, then when it looks like the odds are against me, you switch sides"

"How will you get the totem without anyone noticing?" Punz asks.

"Nightmare will be helping from the shadows using invisibility"

"Your ally Nightmare is really shady, how can you be sure that you can trust her?" Ponk asks.

"Same amount of assurance that I can trust any of you"

The meeting is over quick with everyone promising to switch sides at the right moment.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nightmare's boots crunch the snow beneath her as she makes her way steadily towards her brother and father.

"Techno!" She runs towards her brother who opens his arms.

"Y/N! What are you doing here?"

"Came to talk with you and Phil. Tommy and his friends are planning to kill Dream but Dream has developed a counter plan with his allies that will almost definitely start a war"

"Y/N?" Phil comes down the steps.

They head inside and Y/N tells them about the planning that had been done.

"So what exactly do you need from us?" Techno asks.

Niki and Ranboo also greeted Y/N and she explained what was about to happen.

"Not sure, I know you like fighting and this war would be a good opportunity to get rid of governments in factions. Not saying you have to join though"

"Well we were all invited to the festival so we'll fight but not make it too obvious" Phil says.

"Whatever you feel is necessary" Y/N leans back. "Just letting you know so you're not surprised"

After a bit more of catching up and planning, Y/N heads back to the main part of the Smp.

She knocks on a door and it opens a crack.

"Who is it?" A British accent asks.

"Nightmare"

Wilbur swings open the door.

"Nice to see you again" he smiles before letting her in. "So what brings you here?"

"You got invited to the festival right?"

"Yeah" he holds up the card.

"We're planning something to reveal Dream's allies and possibly start a war"

"Hmm chaos" Wilbur's eyes widen.

"You interested?"

"Yeah definitely, but I don't want them to know yet"

"Of course not, once a traitor, always a traitor"

Wilbur smirks.
"What do I need to do?"

"You have TNT right?"

"Oh, I've been preparing TNT for a while"

Wilbur leads her over to a wall and opens a secret passageway.

"Oh, my, god" Y/N's face shows shock but soon turns to an evil smile.

They thought L'Manburg's destruction was bad, they aren't going to be ready for the damage this will cause.
