Error's POV, ??? later

*Corrections complete*

I struggle to get to my feet and glance around.

What the hell happened? Why can I hardly see anything? One minute I feel the necklace and the next....I'm being "corrected" by Fate's helpers....No, I can't question this. I have to get back before they get to the kids!

I rip my legs free of the chains and break from the rope on my wrists, shoving the door open. I run through, seeing the dark halls around me. Then I hear distant voices.

"So, what did you decide with Ink?"

"I released him. Dream won't be here much longer afterward."

"We can head out I guess then."

"Yeah, it's not like he's going anywhere with his vision. We can take this chance to make him obey us now instead of violating the plan."

"Yes, it's quite disgusting to see the path that he took."

The voices fade away and I keep moving, not looking to deal with any of those helpers.

"Woah....This is new...But very useful.~ Now where is he?"I hear a voice coo

I keep moving, then notice a shadow loom over me, getting closer.

Shit.

"There you are.~"The voice coos

I turn around, seeing the shadow loom over me.

What the hell is this? A trick or some security?

I step back but feel my heel slip off an edge, then a hand hook around me before I can fall.

"Aww, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.~"

I can't see the hand holding me or the owner of the voice but now the shadow is closer to my face like a looming darkness. Then I see something glowing in the middle of the shadow. Reaper's flower crown. Wait...it's Reaper, right? That's his crown...his name....Ugh, my head still hurts...I feel my neck, relieved that the dumb necklace is gone. Then I feel a gentle kiss where it used to be.

"So glad that there's....Not a hint of him on you..."

"WhA-?"

"Did that kiss on the cheek help comfort you? You don't have to worry, dear. I'm here and I've got you. Nothing will hurt you, Glitchy."

Okay, that confirms that it's Reaper...That wasn't a kiss on the cheek...

"ReAp3r...?"

"Why so uncertain, Glitchy? Don't you recognize me?"

"I d0n't s3e y0u...I hEaR y0u aNd fe3l y0u buT..."

"To be honest, I'm not much better. I can only see your soul and a faint outline of you so I'm only guessing that I'm holding you right. I'd recognize that beautiful soul anywhere.~"He says

I reach up, estimating where his head is and feeling his cheek.

"SoUnDs liKe tHeY mEsSeD wItH yOuR CoDe...WaIt, aRe tHe kIdS oKaY?"I ask

"They were with Horror when I got taken here so I can only assume yes. Can you see anything?"He asks

"I seE oUr sUrRoUnDInGS bUt eXtReMeLy dArK. YoU'Re jUsT a sHaDoW wiTh a fl0w3r cr0wN aT tHe cEnTeR. DiD tHeY hUrT yOu?"I reply

"No...They tried to use some tricks to strike a deal but it didn't work...I'd never go against you, dearest."He says

I smile at him and feel a hand on my cheek, guiding my face closer into a kiss. Part of me wanted to know what he meant by that but the other part of me was too comforted by his words to care.

Then we hear a loud blast and he falls forward, landing on top of me. I can feel his entire weight on me and wrap my arms around him as he hugs me, holding my head to protect it from hitting the ground.

"WhAt wAs tHaT?"I ask

"I dunno...But can you hear that?"He asks

I pause, listening and hearing the familiar tune of some sort of Megalovania. It was soft on a flute but very recognizable and had some darker more intimidating cello parts. I recognized the style of it, or at least part of it.

"SoUndS like yOuRs."We say at the same time

I chuckle, shaking my head.

"YoUrS iS dEfinItElY tHe cElLo pArTs."I say

Then before we can wonder how we're hearing such a tune, a screen pops up.

*True judgment is coming. Corrections of the unfair will be made.*

"I don't know how to feel about that."He says

Then I hear a loud scream that shakes the floor that I thought I'd never hear. Fate shouting in fear. Then, of all voices, I hear a very angry little voice.

"WHERE ARE MY DADS? DID YOU HURT THEM? GIVE THEM TO ME NOW!"

"Ummm...That's Shino....How is she here?"

"What Dads?"

"DO NOT PLAY DUMB!"

"You mean the glitch? He isn't meant to be anything other than a destroyer."

"THAT'S FOR PAPA TO DECIDE, NOT YOU!"

"I'm just doing what's right."

"We'll see about that!"

It goes quiet and I frown. Then there's a loud ding.

*FATE is lying. FATE has failed to do what's right. FATE is now banned from further corrupt activities.*

"Wait...they're actually a good scenario to happen?"

"Always has been."

BOOM!

"Oh my stars...."Reaper says

"Dad? Papa? Where are you? Are you hurt?"She shouts

"We're this way, sweetie! We're alright...mostly..."He says

I see a little scale like one Lady Justice holds decorated with flowers getting closer quickly. 

"I see her soul getting closer."He says, helping me up.

I smile, feeling his wing curl around me as Shino barrels into us at full speed and I feel her cling onto me.

"Papaaaa! You're okaaay! That stupid trap is off of you too!"She cries with relief.

"tRaP?"

"Dream's necklace on you was a tool to drain any positivity and good memories from you! You wouldn't wake up! I'm so glad it's gone!"She says

I feel Reaper pull me closer.

"I'm never letting these jerks take you again, Dads!"She says

"What are you doing here?"

"I wasn't going to risk them hurting or using you more, Dads! It...Took a lot out of me...But it's worth it seeing that you're safe Dads!"She says

"Well, we just have some vision issues from what it seems. Shall we return home?"He suggests

"Please..."She says, resting against me tiredly

I use some code to open a portal, stepping through with Reaper.

"Cozy...home...."She says softly

Moments later, she is snoring softly in my arms.

Then my phone rings and I use my strings to lift it up.

"HeLlO?"I say

"Are you alright, Error? This is the first time you answered! And given what I was told by Reaper's brother and Horror, I was getting extremely worried about you!"Blue says

"WhAt...d0 y0u meAn?"I ask

I quickly regret asking.

TBC 

Bonus: funny meme that I made that I thought fit the mood of Shino right now lol. Just replace the weapon with a Gaster Blaster LOL.
