An axe buried itself deep into Broomie's wood, but Killer Ink hardly cared. Before Horror could attempt to pull his axe out, he was swung around and slammed into Killer, making the skeletons go flying into the rock. Dust tried to summon a blaster, but he'd exhausted his magic, trying to fight the likes of Ink, who could easily regenerate his limbs with his paints and it backfired on him while Killer Ink approached like a wolf who caught the rabbit. A wall of blood-stained bones shot up, and Killer sent more knives after Killer Ink. The possessed, soulless creature let them hit, showing the Murder Time Trio just how screwed they were. Chara was learning more and more of Ink's powers, making them nearly impossible to kill them... or remove the murder baby from Ink's form. Killer Ink turned on the remaining two, and with a swish from Broomie, a wall of Ink slammed into Horror. Killer teleported over and tried to stab into his head to try and forcibly rip Chara out of Killer Ink. However, Chara never made it easy, having dealt with Dust again and again and again. They knew all the tricks, and Killer was met with spikes of ink.

Corruption met the spikes and strings bound Killer Ink, making them frown while Blue caught Killer before any real damage could be done. "well, look at you, mr. hero~" Killer purred. Blue laughed softly, putting Killz down to go heal Dust. "hey! what the hell?! why can't i puddle through these!?" Killer Ink demanded to know as Error's strings tightened around them. "you may have ink's abilities, you may be able to use them. but without his soul to access his memories, you cannot beat his arch rival." Nightmare stated simply. He glanced at Horror as he struggled to get out of the paint. "killer, help horror. blue, get dust to the infirmary. let error and i handle the rest." Blue didn't hesitate to pick up Dust as the exhausted skeleton hissed softly. He didn't complain though, as Blue carried him bridal style into a portal. Killer Ink tried to reach for the red paint- burn the strings, but their satchel was gone? "w-where-?" They demanded and Error sighed lovingly. ("our little klepto...") "ou-r li-ttl-e klep-to..." Nightmare's tendrils sharpened and angled at Killer Ink's chest. "how can i scold him for being so helpful?" They surged forward, piercing through Ink.

Blue put a magic IV into Dust's arm before starting to heal his injuries. "... sorry." The small apology from Dust startled Blue and he looked over at him curiously. "Whatever For?" He questioned. "for... not listening. you warned me, then chara used his anger to take control... i would've been dead, if not for you..." He admitted. "Well..." Blue started as he set Ink's paints down on the nightstand so they were out of the way. "You Saved Me, Too. I Think We Are Even. Besides! The Others Did Most Of The Work!" Dust glanced away, grumbling. "but they are my mates... and night is my boss... and error is ink's enemy... you had no reason to be involved, blue..." Dust froze as Blue gave him a knowing smile. "They Are My Mates Too, And As I Said, You Saved Me First. You Didn't Have To." Dust paused. It was true. He said it was for Killer, and it was. "touche, smiles, touche. guess we are even then." Blue nodded. "we are, yeah." There was a moment of silence while Blue healed the last of his injuries. "i would do it again."
