It had been really strange for Error recently. He had destroyed a couple of AUs and they sorta, kinda, never got fixed...? Ink didn't rebuild them which was really no alarm to Error since he didn't really care. He was actually quite happy that Ink hadn't shown up to stop him like, at all. So he just went about his day destroying AUs, even getting Nightmare and his buddies to join in on the fun. Eventually they destroyed a huge chunk of AU's, well, other then OuterTale, ReaperTale, and a few others of course.

Error decided to try and search out the small bubbly artist and his friends. Looking through every AU that was destroyed. Nightmare and his buds ended up following suit since they were bored. But they couldn't find Ink, or his friends which was strange since they should have been in at least one destroyed AU. The doodle sphere they already checked from top to bottom with no sign of them.

"You know. I don't like admitting this but, its worrying." Nightmare said with distaste.

"Eh, him and his friends are probably playing a game with us." Dust shrugged.

"ThEn WhY cAn'T wE fInD aNy TrAcE oF eM?" Asked Error.

Dust shrugged again, keeping his mouth shut. He looked at Killer who was playing with a knife, then looked at Horror who is admiring his axe in all its glory.

"Where is your brother Nightmare?" Horror asked as he glance up from his beautiful blood splattered axe.

Nightmare shrugged not really caring.

They were currently in OuterTale as they tried to think.

Error sitting at his little ledge.

Killer decided to play, 'See how far you can chuck a knife in outer space'. The knife didn't end up going very far.

Nightmare was standing beside Error.

Dust joined Horror in the amusement of chucking Horrors axe at one another as they sat on the ground cross legged. Dust was winning by a mile since he didn't have a single scratch on him while Horror was littered in scratch marks from his beautiful axe.

Nightmare suddenly remembered Cross and cursed under his breath. It wasn't like Cross not to be with them. Nightmare was so used to ignoring his existence that he forgot about him completely. Another thought hit him that they hadn't run into certain skeletons ether, like Lust. Out of all skeletons, Lust was in fact missing from his AU.

Nightmare is smart, not stupid so how did he overlook this? He started pacing trying to think of the skeletons they hadn't run into trying to protect there own AUs. Of course Killer, Dust, Error, Horror, and himself were ruled out since they had been together all this time.

He started listing the names out loud in a quiet manner. "Lust, Dream, Cross, Ink..." That's about all he could remember. Other then Underswap Sans which they  called Blue, Error wouldn't let any of them touch that AU. Nightmare was still pacing trying to think of more Sanses that weren't present when attacking the AUs but he came up empty. He stopped pacing and looked up to meet the mismatched eyes of Error.

"YoU oK tHeRe nIgHtMaRe?" Error asked. His body was twisted in Nightmares direction as his legs continued to hang off the ledge, he heard Nightmare mumbling names. He also seemed unnerved about something.

"What if Ink wanted this to happen?" Nightmare wanted to state but it came out as a question.

"WhY wOuLd InK wAnT uS tO dEsTrOy AUs?" It didn't make any logical sense to Error so he responded to the question with another question. Ink LOVED the AUs and would protect them until his dying breath. Is that what he could've done? Gone and gotten himself killed? If so where? What AU? Error shook his head and faced the universe of stars again. To many questions that needed answers.

A portal opened and Fresh stumbled through, falling to his knees. His glasses were scratched, his bright radical clothes torn. He looked awful.

The five misfits looked at Fresh with confused expressions wondering what happened to the bright, colorful, 90d's nightmare. Error got to his feet and walked over to Fresh. "FrEsH wHo DiD tHaT tO yOu?" He asked kneeling down to Freshes level. It's not like Error actually cared, he was more curious.

Fresh lifted his head with effort, he was so tired, looking Error in the eyes. He smiled with a look of tired relief. "H-Hey b-broski. Sorry for d-draggin on your parade. Some unradtastical guys ambushed me. Tried pullin me through a portal..." He trailed off as he fell forward only for Error to catch him. Error glitched out a bit because of the physical contact but he bore through it. Fresh was in no condition to be moving and considering he popped out of no where. Something is definitely wrong.

Error lifted Fresh into his arms. "NiGhTmArE tAkE uS tO yOuR dAmN cAsTlE." He glanced at nightmare who nodded. They would have a lot more questions for Fresh once he wakes. If Fresh was relieved to see them of all monsters, then something must of happened.

Dust, Killer, and Horror had gone off to do their own thing in Nightmare's castle. It wasn't uncommon to find Horror chasing a maid with his axe, or chasing a guard. It also wasn't uncommon to find Killer and Dust sleeping on a sofa next to one another.

Error had brought Fresh into one of the many empty rooms inside the castle. Nigtmare and Error decided to stay with him until he woke up.

Nightmare had gotten one of the few healers inside the castle to heal Fresh but he still hasn't woken up yet. Unfortunately it didn't seem like he would wake soon.

Nightmare was pacing while Error just watched Fresh with a bored expression. "Is He EvEr GoInG tO wAkE uP?" Error asked with slight irritation.

"Should it matter? As long as he wakes up we can get answers." Nightmare replied as his pacing increased. He was deep in thought, not really uncommon for the king of nightmares.

Error sighed. "WhAt'S gOiNg On?" He mumbled to himself.

~meanwhile~

Eraser had been destroying an AU when Reboot never showed up. Fortunately when he noticed this he decided to go looking for the smol, dark boned, skeleton. Looking through every AU till eventually he ran into Marvul and his little brother.

"Eraser?" Marvul was stunned, he hadn't seen his friend in a while. "What are you doing here?" He asked. They were currently in the Horrortale AU.

Eraser shrugged. "Can't find Bootsy anywhere. Thought he might be here since he isn't in the doodle sphere." He answered.

Marvul raised a nonexistent eyebrow and crossed his arms. "That's not like Reboot. He's normally on top of... Well, whenever your around." He chuckled earning a grin from Eraser.

"What can I say? He can't get enough of me." Eraser put his hands on his hips, sighing in irritation. "When I find Bootsy he's gonna have a bad time." He muttered out which earned a snort from Marvul.

"You mean every time you two some how loose each other?" Marvul shook his head in amusement.

"BROTHER HELP!" A voice crackled through the air.

Marvul froze, his eye widening like saucers. "Halluciv?!" He called, looking around frantically.

Unlike the normal Alpha multiverse in the swapped multiverse Halluciv and Marvul had gotten close. Really close, like brothers once again.

Eraser took action knowing Marvul would have his head if he didn't help, he jumped up into a tree. They needed to find Halluciv fast!

Fear pricked at Marvul's soul as he took off, his shoes slamming into the snow as he checked every low end of Horrortale's Snowdin. Eraser took the high end, looking on top of every house and every high place he was able to get to.

A scream broke threw the air again. "Brother! Please! It hurts!" Marvul would kill anyone who hurt his brother, now was no exception. The scream was really close by but it was behind him so he swerved on his heel and took off again at a full sprint.

The scream originated from the tall treed forest in the underground and Marvul went straight threw it. Only skidding to a stop when he found what he was looking for.

Halluciv, neck deep in a portal of some sort that was attempting to pull him threw. Marvul wasted no time in grabbing the only hand not submerged in the portal.

Halluciv's face was covered in tears. "Marvul, *hic* it hurts *sniff*." Marvul was a bit stunned. He had only seen this side of Halluciv when they fought. Halluciv wasn't one to cry easily, especially from pain.

Eraser found them not much later, anger clearly present on his face. If Halluciv was crying because of this then maybe they got Reboot too? No... Eraser couldn't think like that. He ran over to a crouched down Marvul and went behind Halluciv. "Marvul you need to pull so I can help." Eraser spoke urgently.

Marvul nodded and spoke to Halluciv in a soft voice, "Halluciv, your going to be fine. I need you to stay strong for me ok?" Halluciv's eye was shut as tears fell. He nodded, Marvul smiled softly the grip on Halluciv's hand tightening in a comforting manner.

Marvul pulled Halluciv's hand up with moderate strength, a snap was heard and Halluciv's arm was released. If whatever this thing was, snapped that easily then Marvul could possibly pull again without hurting Halluciv anymore then he already was. It was also unclear that if Mavul did pull again then would it result in more pain for Haluciv? Although Haluciv was already in a large amount of pain. So, Marvul pulled again with moderate strength and two snaps were heard and the upper half of Halluciv's body was released.

Eraser crouched down and put his hands under Halluciv's arms and pulled up with all his strength releasing Halluciv completely. Halluciv didn't wince, instead relief washed over him and he slumped against Eraser. Who breathed out a sigh of relief.

Marvul still had a tight grip on Halluciv's hand, afraid if he let go that something else would try and take him. He glanced down at the portal that was supposed to be there but it wasn't there anymore. He growled in annoyance, releasing Halluciv's hand.

Eraser gently set Halluciv on his feet. Halluciv bolted right into Marvul, enveloping him in a hug to which Marvul returned. "Where's Xcellence Lucy?" Eraser asked resisting the urge to roll his eye lights.

Halluciv stiffened. "H-He got pulled through. Then I was stuck here alone." He gulped as he clung to Marvul tighter.

Eraser rubbed his temples. "We need to find Reboot AND Xcellence now. Fan god damn tastic." He grumbled in annoyance.

~meanwhile~

"GET THE FUCK OFF ME!" Snapping was heard as Ink ripped his arm out of the strangely formed portals around him. He grabbed Broomy and slashed at the portals making them disappear. Breathing ragged he stumbled backwards only for more portals to surround him. "ERROR IF THIS IS YOU THEN YOUR FUCKIN DEAD!" Ink bellowed angrily.

If it wasn't obvious enough then let me shed some light for you. This here is the fell multiverse. Where no one can really trust one another. Where no one can show emotion or you will look 'weak'. And where there's a set system for dominate monsters and submissive monsters.

Error had heard Inks rage from the doodle sphere and was standing not to far off just staring. One of Inks arms got engulfed in a portal again and he cried out in pain. When he tried to pull his arm out it didn't budge. Another pulse of pain hit him and he cried out again, dropping Broomy.

Error winced as he stared wide eyed at the creator who was currently withering in pain. "I rElLy ShOuLd'Nt HeLp ThE aSs BuT iT wOuLd Be GrEaT fOr HiM tO oWe Me A fAvOr."  He released his strings but, it was to late. A portal had appeared under Fell Ink who was gritting his teeth from the pain. He was instantly pulled threw and the portals closed leaving a very stunned and confused Fell Error.

???'s POV

'The constellations.. So perfect and beautiful..' Outertale holds the most beautiful stars in all the Multiverses. Perfect and pristine. Filled with life. But everyone was able to gaze upon their perfectness. The hatred burning in my soul will not vanish until no one but myself is able to watch them alone.

I open a portal back to my domain and quickly entered. It closes behind me and I sighed. 'My darling stars. Wait for me.' My obsession was bad and only getting worse. Hearing the pitter patter of feet running down the wooden pathway caught my attention.

"Sans! I've discovered a miracle!" I sat cross legged while floating, my star dotted cloak dancing as the softest wind blew past.

"Yes Apples? What have you discovered today?" I watched her with eye lightless eyes. My voice cold and devoid of emotion as per usual. My emotions only come out when I see my beautiful pearly lights.

"I was able to grow a clone of me from my eye! She so pretty.." Apples gushed as she started to mumble to herself about experimentation and how she would replace her bleeding empty eye socket later.

I rubbed the top on my head, the hood on my cloak falling backwards revealing a blackened star smack in the middle of my skull. Hate that thing.. It's always itchy and annoying. "That fascinating Apples. Why don't you go back and continue your experiment? Hm?" I never liked talking to Apples about her experiments. She had Didi for that.

"Oh! Your right.. I need to take care of Apples 3,457,786,665,102. She's the best one I've seen yet Sans! You'll like her a lot!" She bolts off. Probably back to her little wall less lab I had conjured for her.

Psychotic little lizard, obsessed with herself.

Although I myself am obsessed with my lovely stars. 'My lovely stars.. Won't you show me more of your wonderful constellations?' I was cut from my thoughts once again when I felt a tug at my greyed soul. 'Someone escaped.. I should find them Before they cause a ripple in the multiverse. Although that dastardly feline is still out an about. Ah, I'll get him later. The one who escaped is more of a priority.' I open several portals, looking through each one as I did. 'Now.. Where could a decaying piece of code hide?'

I've been working on this one for a while now.

Again RIP me...
