another person behind the mask: ep:1

Dream turned to Sapnap with a teasing smirk, 'Did you manage to gather all the essentials, dwarf?' Sapnap shot back with a playful lilt in his voice, 'Of course, idiot~'

George chuckled, 'Come on, you guys, let’s stay focused on the mission and demolish the Ender Dragons!' Dream smiled, a spark of excitement in his eyes as Sapnap began constructing the portal, placing each block with precision. As he lit it up, the boys exchanged grins, blissfully unaware of the lurking dangers that awaited them on the other side.

They stepped through, and as Dream emerged, he quickly declared, 'You guys, I don't think this is the Netherworld.' Sapnap chimed in with a sassy tone, 'Yeah, no shit.' George, maintaining a calm demeanor, asked, 'Where are we?' The atmosphere shifted, curiosity mixing with an undercurrent of unease as they took in their surroundings.

'All right, Sapnap, explain!' Dream immediately shifted the blame onto him. 'What did I do? I placed every block right! I mean, look at the po—' But as he turned to point, the portal was nowhere to be seen, as if it had vanished in those few seconds, leaving them in a bewildering void.

George said, 'I'm not usually the chicken, but guys, I'm afraid... I mean, we don't know where we are, plus I ran out of maps.' Sapnap replied, 'Well, since our portal suddenly "disappeared," I guess we have to survive the night out here... God, I'm not ready to deal with raccoons!' The tension in the air was palpable as they faced the uncertainty of their surroundings.

Dream said, 'Sapnap, George, don't be dramatic! There is a literal mansion in front of us!' He pointed at the big wooden house looming ahead, but it looked abandoned and forgotten. Mold crept along the wood, making George feel uneasy as he glanced at the ominous structure.

Dream slowly walked towards it, giving no second options to George and Sapnap. As they cautiously opened the door, you could just feel the place was wrapped in dust and spider webs. As they tried to step inside, Dream's foot landed on a creaky step that echoed like a gunshot, and just then, they heard an actual gunshot ring out.

Dream goes behind the couch as Sapnap and George follow him. 'Since when did they have guns?' he asked George, shrugging and trying not to make a lot of noise. They hear a guy's voice echoing, 'Come out, come out, wherever you are~' The tension thickens as they hold their breath, unsure of what to do next.

Before Sapnap could say anything, the dude from earlier found them, and they screamed like little girls. He said, 'Damn it! Ran out of ammo...' Dream shouted back, sounding even more offended, 'Were you planning to shoot us?!' The guy replied, 'Yeah,' and turned on his flashlight. That's when Dream noticed he also had a mask, and the guys eyes went wide as well.

Dream asked, 'Who are you?' The guy replied, 'Why do you need to know? Are you a spy of some sort, ready to take me away to that faceless man?' Dream looked confused as the guy mentioned a faceless man. Just then, another guy, seemingly the same age but not the same height as the first, walked up. 'I see you! We have more rebels, Tim.! the guy, covered his mouth as the other guy, apparently named tim, said, 'Damn it, Hoodie, do not use my real name!'

The guy, apparently named Hoodie, stroked his shoulder and said, 'Sorry, Masky, I forgot that we weren't alone...' The dudes looked upset at one another before Tim, the guy with the code name Masky, said, 'Don't forget it next time.' Just then, a third guy, seeming to be younger than the two others, walked up and asked, 'Hey, Masky, who are these three?'
