(Reaper's POV)

I watched the new person get thrown into the room. He looked over at us, but didn't walk over to us. He looked hurt, there was a big slash on his chest.

But he was quickly taken out of the room, for a reason unknown. Another skeleton was put in place that Nightmare rushed over to.

(Lol, I just wanted to reunite the Joku twins but was too lazy to edit the last chapter)

"Dream, are you okay? They threw you pretty hard," Nightmare inspected Dream for any bruises.

"I'm fine, Night. Let me go" Dream complained. Nightmare grumpily let go, but dragged Dream over to the rest of the group.

"This is my twin brother, Dream. Hurt him, and I'll break you" Nightmare threatened.

"Oh please, I could beat you easily" Reaper scoffed.

"Yo same" Ink chuckled.

"Maybe, dunno" Error shrugged.

"What makes you two so smug, huh?".

Reaper just held up his hands and wiggled his fingers, implying his deathly touch.

Ink smirked and disappeared into the ink puddle from earlier and appeared behind Nightmare, then went back to his spot.

"Fair point, but still" Nightmare sat down, pulling Dream down with him.

Ink turned off to the side, where he started talking to someone who wasn't there.

Dream whispered, "Does he do that often?". Nightmare nodded.

"He can see ghosts like spirits of us or anyone in a different AU, it's pretty cool".

Reaper and Error were talking, and brought Nightmare and Dream into the conversation.

"So if you did met an alternate you, what would you do?" Error asked, "I would probably compare our universes".

"Dunno, probably just talk? I guess" Dream said.

"Fight" Was all Nightmare said.

"Depends on what they do" Reaper shrugged.

"I had a climbing the walls challenge with mine!" Ink smiled, "I won, but it was almost a tie!".

Nightmare started laughing, the dorky smile on Ink's face brought him to much joy somehow. Dream started laughing because Nightmare was laughing.

Eventually, Error joined in and it left Reaper sitting. He lightly chuckled, but the laughing faces of the others were just too much and he burst into laughter.

It shocked the others, except Dream. He was confused on why the others were shocked, he waved his hand in front of their faces.

"You laughed! Wait, describe how you felt! I wanna hear about it!" Ink asked, getting a bit too close to Reaper.

"Firstly, can you back up a bit? And secondly, I don't know how to describe it. I haven't done that in a while" Reaper lightly smiled.

  "It was like I was like I couldn't fight back an imaginary force to smile and laugh, that felt good!" Reaper smiled widely, but it dropped when his brain twisted it into something bad.

  'Already over all your friends? Jeez, thoughtless much?' Reaper added a fake content sigh after a couple seconds, to ease the others' worries.

  Then, Dream thought of something. "Have you ever met alternate versions of us, Ink? What were they like?". Ink thought for a second, then nodded.

  "Yeah! There was this one guy, he looked like Reaper but he had on way different clothes and acted like a Aftertale!Sans and not a Reapertale!Sans".

  "There was also you and Nightmare but switches, you were covered in goop as Night wasn't and looked scared". Ink rambled on for hours, before a piercing sound cut him off.

  He clutched his head, crumbling to the ground as the others looked at him in confusion.

  Nightmare turned to where a camera was and started yelling, "STOP THAT! YOU'RE HURTING HIM!".

  They couldn't hear him, they had an on and off listener that was turned off mostly. They forgot to turn it on during this test.

  Ink got up slowly, hands never leaving where his ears would rest if they existed. He uttered, "M-make i-it s-s-stop" before falling again.

  The pain was unbearable, or what Ink assumed to be pain. He rarely felt it, but it was always a full feeling. This wasn't pain, just a high annoyance.

  Dream tried to help his quickly made friend, Error tried to calm down an angry Nightmare as Reaper panicked.

  Ink looked up at the deadly being slowly, but crashed to the ground as the sound got louder. Reaper was now having hallucinations.

  A weird gray powder surround him, and he slowly realized what it was. He cried as he turned to see their ghostly faces dawn a look of betrayal.

  He grabbed their dust, crying into his hands as he remembered all that he'd done. They didn't deserve this, he should've been in their place.

  Error looked over at Reaper, who cried into a his hands because of nothing. Or, thats what it looked like to Error before he started shouting.

  "STOP IT! STOP IT! I DON'T WANT TO RELIVE THIS! I BEG OF YOU STOP THIS!" Reaper screamed as tears streamed down his face, and he started mumbling the words 'Stop it!' over and over.

  The next hit were Nightmare and Dream, both getting the loud painful sound filling their non existent ears. Dream passed out almost instantly, while Nightmare was able to bear it.

  Dream couldn't handle it because of the already weak state he was in. He got stronger off of positivity, while his brother was the opposite.

  Nightmare was feeding off all the negative energy in the room, but once Error just collapsed out of nowhere he fell down.

  Ink had passed out too, by choice mainly because he didn't want to listen to the sound again. Reaper was barely staying conscious, but slipped into a peaceful sleep.

"Step 2 of the Plan in complete, Master! What's the next step?" An eager scienctist asked, happy to serve the mastermind of this whole shebang.

  "You'll see soon, but bring me your sibling" they chuckled, watching as their plan fell into place.

  "I said, go get them. And you will do as I say!" They shouted, ending the small protest.

  "It'll all come together in the end, don't worry. We have ways of getting people to agree to what we say" They chuckled lowly, eliciting fear into the scientist.
