"Ant!" The siamese cat hybrid was sitting on a tree branch, eyes narrowing when he saw who had spoken.

"What do you want George? Here to leave me behind again?" He asked, his tail swishing. George slowed down and jumped onto a branch next to where Ant was sitting.

"I know that it was you that broke the shield." Ant smiled, taking a black berry from his pocket, rolling it between his fingers as he spoke.

"Any proof?" He asked, his voice icy as usual. "Why would I want to do that, huh?" He questioned, leaning back as he spoke. George glared at Ant.

"Stop with the innocence. We both know how far you're willing to go for revenge." George asked, his voice cold. "Just because of what happened to you, doesn't mean that you can put my real friends in danger." Ant's smile faltered for a second.

"Heh. Just as toxic as you were before. You obviously haven't changed much. Nightshade." Ant flipped the berry that he was holding into the air, before catching it again.

"Don't call me that." George hissed slightly as he spoke. The hybrid tilted his head to the side.

"Call you what Nightshade?" The hybrid grinned. "Ah, looks like you've dropped your facade finally. Ant stood up on the branch, jumping down onto the grass below. "Oh, by the way, I've kept the berry that you used! Bet that your little fiery friend would like to know what you used to be like." George landed in front of Ant, his eyes a shimmering black colour.

"Leave Sapnap out of this." The hybrid smiled coldly again.

"What are you going to do about it? Make a water bubble? Come on, you can't beat me in a fight. I've proven that multiple times." The hybrid started to walk off at a medium speed. When he was about 20 meters away, he turned around, a frosty smile on his face. "The only time you came close to beating me was with a certain little berry. But now I'm prepared, you won't beat me this time, Nightshade." The cat hybrid smiled again and then disappeared in a flurry of pastel blue icicles and snowflakes. George stood there for a few seconds, his eyes a poisonous black, before he shook his head and walked off.

"Hey Sap, you wanna help me beat a realm?" Sapnap huffed, leaning against a tree.

"Depends, what level is the realm?" The communicator was silent for a second before Dream's voice came through it again.

"A Level 20 water realm." Sapnap let out a small laugh.

"Get George to come then, I have something that I need to do."

"Finee, see you soon Sapnap." The communicator let out a small beep as Sapnap declined the call. The fire mystic looked around the area before launching himself onto a nearby rooftop with a blast of fire energy. He jumped across a few rooftops before stopping on the roof of one of them, leaning against the chimney as he opened Discord on his communicator.

Sapnap

Hey Toms, what are you doing rn?

Tommy

Just trying to practice a new flame move that I found out about. But its difficult as fuck.

Sapnap

Which move are you talking about?

Tommy

This flame vortex thing, I can't figure out how to do it >:(

Sapnap

Oh that one! I can help you out with that one if you want.

Tommy

Sure!

Thanks Sapnap.

Sapnap

No problem you little raccoon gremlin.

Tommy

Don't call me a gremlin you bitch.

Sapnap

Gremlin.

Anyway, meet you at the arena in my pocket realm?

Tommy

Sure, but I bet I'll be better than you afterwards.

Sapnap

Sureeee

Sapnap opened the realm menu on his communicator and pressed the button that read "Enter Realm" He closed his eyes, hearing a small glitching noise combined with a noise that sounded like something swirling. The combination of sounds lasted for just over a second before the sound was replaced by the sound of lava bubbling. Sapnap opened his eyes and left the spawn area of the pocket realm, which was a quartz building suspended above lava. He opened the invite menu and selected "< TommyInnit >" from the invite menu and pressed the [ Invite to game ] option. A few seconds later, a notification in chat popped up. < TommyInnit Has Joined the Game > Sapnap opened the chat and typed a message.

< Sapnap > Hi Tommy, Meet me at the arena.

< TommyInnit > k

Sapnap waited just inside of the arena for the child to arrive. After a while, he heard footsteps approaching the arena. He made a spiral shape of flames around one arm, and fired the attack at Tommy as soon as he entered the arena.

"Hey! What was that for?" The raccoon hybrid asked, an irritated look on his face.

"You're meant to be prepared, remember? Lets see how much you improved your power since last time." As Sapnap finished speaking, he launched himself towards one of the many ledges around the arena, firing a large number of fireballs at Tommy as he moved. He landed safely on the ledge and used the advantage of being above ground to create a flame vortex and send it towards the raccoon hybrid. Just as he was about to fire another attack, he heard a crackling sound behind him. He dropped down from the ledge just in time to dodge a fireball. He's improved. But he can't hit me if he can't catch me. Sapnap moved sideways and jumped off of a pillar, sending himself towards the wall. He landed on the wall for a split second before launching off of it towards another pillar. He kept continuing that strategy, landing a few hits on Tommy as he did so. After a while, he had trapped Tommy in a flame vortex, the flames swirling around him so that he couldn't escape. Tommy attempted to escape but soon had to give up.

"Fine, fine, you win." Sapnap landed in front of the vortex, his eyes glowing slightly as he made it disappear.

"You definitely haven't improved much." Sapnap said bluntly, sitting on a collapsed quartz pillar.

"Hey! I have improved!" Tommy retorted, his tail flicking.

"Then how did you get trapped in the vortex so quickly?" The hybrid let out a small hiss and sat down. Sapnap paused. "But you did well, you dodged some of my attacks. And you were able to sneak up on me relatively well." The hybrid grinned.

"So I did well then?" Sapnap nodded and stood up.

"You did, but you rely too much on fireballs. And your fighting would be improved if you were able to make a flame vortex. Come on, I'll show you how."
