Blue held onto Mana tightly as the world shook, his normally bright blue eyelights white in fright.

"Mama?" Mana asked scared as it slowly stopped, but not moving in case of aftershocks.

"I.. think its over now" Blue said quietly, but still didn't move from there shelter for at least a few hours. When they finally left it was towards evening, half the areas building were ruins with smoke everywhere.

A women wailed by her homes remains, Blue hid Manas face again his chest not wanting him to see the many bodies laid in rows on the ground.

So much death...

"BLUE!"

A feeling of relief filled Blue at the familiar voice, and he relaxed as his mates arms surrounded him.

"We're okay" Blue promised, he reached up and rubbed his mates facial marks.

"Lets head home, the buildings fine" Error said as they started home, unsaid that that was where he had first looked for them.

"What happened?" Blue asked softly, he looked down and saw Mana had fallen asleep his face encrusted by dried tears.

"Reapertale fell" Error whispered, Blue gasped in shock.

"Reaper?" was his quiet reply, Errors silence was damning enough.

Mana laid the flowers on the simple grave, while monsters only left dust behind many still left graves for them.

His fingers traced the engraved named on it, Dream and Nightmare. No Palette for Dreams son, but apparently no one knew if he was dead.

"Mana will find out where Palette is, hope your not in pain anymore Mr. Dream" Mana said to the stone, chatting to it as if they were alive.

One day the damage Malice had done would heal.

Cat ears popped into existence and laid flat, a small whine escaped him as the world rumbled.

Somehow...

------

It was a serious discussion, it was why this meeting was taking place after Mana was asleep.

It was sad how small this gathering was, many shifted uneasily as a tremor shook the building then stopped.

"We all know why we're here..."

Whispered filled the air, all fear filled. They all knew they we're on a count down, one there was likely no escaped. It wasn't like there were to many AU's anymore, Error wasn't destroying as there was barely anything left to destroy.

"How long?" Lust asked, the dreadful question no one wanted an answer to yet it had to be asked.

"A few months at most" Error replied, a horrible silence followed that.

"And.. if its shorter?" Outer asked eye lights grey in grief.

"Three weeks"

"Is.. there anything we can do, evacuate? Like children?" Lust asked hopefully, children we're innocent after all.

"Lust... you.. didn't notice I'm guess. But since Ink went insane no children have been born" Blue said brokenly.

"No... why.." Lust said unhappily, he collapsed on a chair tears on his face.

"That's not everything is it" Edge demanded voice raspy, he'd rarely said a word since Red had just vanished one day. Everyone was pretty sure Ink had taken him, he had always seemed to hate Red paint or no paint.

"I went to the remains of the doodlespehere, the insane Ink was not out Ink... they likely killed our Ink. Even before the sphere was destroyed, it was already failing. Pretty sure they were about to pull out, done with whatever they had been doing here" Error admitted.

"So doomed, even if your kid hadn't pulled the plug..." Sci sighed.

"Can we jump to another multiverse?" Outer begged.

"No, we're trapped here. That fake made sure no one of this multiverse can escape" Blue relied rubbing his face.

"Not of this multiverse" Edge scoffed "What a small window..."

They all knew only one being was not of there multiverse.

"Then, lets prepare for there journey" Edge said eyes burning with determination.
