Chapter 1: Shattered Dreams
Summary:
(Prologue to the original story of UnderLockDown)
Chapter Text
Darkness rises as the rain falls upon Waterfall as the raging streams cover the landscape. The rain drops down heavily as each drop is heard however, each splash is silent. The lights dim covering the area in darkness as the colours of blue fade into the colours of Violet.
The raging currents become darker and darker as the colour of purple poisons Waterfall of all its colours creating a dark mist shadowing the area becoming somewhat of a Void. Snowdin currently rages a storm as large patches of snow cover the buildings entirely.
The land becomes uneven as the buildings are snowed in only showing the icy streams and the forest covered in large patches only showing the colours of pure white surrounded by a white mist.
In the Hotlands the lava bubbles and boils uncontrollably as lava spurts out into the air. On the orange crumbly land is a child staring at a machine and down below witnessing the erupting lava. The child has grey skin, hair, as well as clothes with giant void-like eyes looking down upon the machine.
Down below the lava is a Void devoid of life and shatters any person who tries to enter its demented structure. A human with dark skin and long silver hair is in the abyss as their body is being violently shaken while being pulled apart.
They wish to scream however, they are silent. They wish to leave even though they cannot escape alone. Each molecule in their body begins to deteriorate and disperse out becoming severely unstable.
They continue to walk even though their body could shatter at any second as well as their mind. Memory after memory forgotten like smoke in the wind, but one line reigned over all their thoughts.
They place a hand on their chest whilst clenching it as a dull light emits from their hand. Walking on in the darkness they slowly extend their arm hoping that someone or something might take it.
As their arm fully extends out, they slowly open their hand as a light dully shines in the Void as it could be barely seen. Step by step the light starts to fade as the eternal abyss consumes each bit of light.
Ignorance starts to plague the mind as their body is being scratched, shaken, and shattering deforming whatever the Void could consume in its primitive world. Weaker and growing apathetic their body is withering away with each step whilst continuing in a cruel world.
Worry and impatience starts to form, but a quest of vengeance still needs to be performed. Fear continues their suffering and dishonesty always hinders their objective. Their journey is like a never-ending Nightmare as even their dreams could not save them.
The Light and their body is about to be devoured, but suddenly a skeletal hand stretches forth accepting their hand. Dull lights then envelope the Void as back on the Underground lava erupts from the ground.
The child stares at the lava seeing it’s gigantic molten wave as black and white mist infuse having a smoke-like appearance. The child did not move or even flinch only seeing the lava drop back down with every splash never making a sound.
In an instant everywhere becomes silent as the mist clears from the Underground, but a figure covered by lava levitates in front of the grey child. No longer held by shadows the figure steps on the ground as the grey child takes a few steps back.
The child looks upon the figure pitying them however, they do not know what they have become as the lava continues to cover them. The figure then disappears as the lava violently drops down back to the ground although a spectacle, they child still has a job to do.
That Hope outshines the Void.
Chapter 2: Omnilovania
Summary:
The long awaited fight begins. (Part 1 to the original story)
Chapter Text
In a dark corridor that is dimly light by moonlight is silent. Not a word is spoken, nor a voice could be heard, but the stillness and peace would not last long. As they day rises light shines brightly through the mirrors of the corridor showing the building of golden pillars, walls, and floor.
Suddenly a monster teleported into the shining corridor with an appearance that keeps on changing. At first, he is a wide skeleton wearing a blue jacket, black shorts, and pink slippers patiently waiting for someone to arrive.
A child enters the corridor as their appearance also keeps changing, but they wear a blue jumper with pink stripes and blue shorts. Their appearance is that they look Caucasian with long dark brown hair with boots to match as well.
The human carries a knife that is covered in dust with all the victims they murdered and now they face the skeleton looking upon them with distain. The skeleton’s appearance changes as he is much taller and thinner smoking a cigar while putting his hands in his orange hoodie.
The skeleton with the orange hoodie, brown shorts, and orange sneakers asks a question to the human if that the worse person could change if they just tried. The human now wears a green jumper with yellow stripes and brown shorts looking at the skeleton with their brown eyes.
Their hair colour becomes lighter, but they refuse to answer and instead they take a step forward. The skeleton changes into a human wearing a dark green hoodie, blue jeans, and brown boots.
They chuckle as their eyes bleed red asking another question to the human wondering if they want a bad time. The human reverts back to their original counterpart with the only difference being they have longer hair and wield a chainsaw instead.
The human takes a step forward only for the green hoodie human to change their appearance once again this time wearing a purple coat along with a violet jumper. She has a goat-like appearance as her crimson eyes stare down the child.
The tall goat humanoid apologises to the old man as she could not keep his promise. The corridor then changes into black and white as the human waits for their opponent to make the first move.
The then soon sees a monster wearing a purple hoodie, black shorts, and finally purple shoes. The appearance is that he is still a goat humanoid with longer horns and a clean-shaven blonde beard as his blonde hair runs down his neck.
The monster mentions that it is a beautiful day as birds are singing while flowers are blooming. Lastly, he mentions on a day like that child should be burning in hell as the fight begins.
Bones launch missing their target as the knife swings but does not connect with its victim. Crimson knives fly upon the corridor with no sense of direction however, it did not dissuade the child from attacking with their chainsaw.
Slash after slash, but the green hooded girl smiles dodging the attacks as well as toying with them. Flames then sprouted out as the human retreats, but never laying eyes off the tall goat humanoid.
Waves of fire spread across the corridor however, that did not prevent the child getting closer to their opponent walking through the fiery pits and attacking once again. Their efforts are in vain as the wide skeleton chuckles summoning a giant skeleton head as it fires a beam of pure light.
The child dies as their bleeding heart breaks, but with their power of Determination they continue to live bringing themselves back to life walking the corridor only to face their opponent once again.
Step by step. Death by death. Each time the child dies they get closer to reaching their victim no matter how many bones, knives, blaster, or flames they have to go through they will win.
The child and their opponent keep changing their appearances, but their goals remained the same no matter which universe they are in. In the end the battle ended with one hit as a large cut is place upon their opponent’s chest as shock and terror filled their face.
The human wearing the green hoodie then calmly states that the fight is over. The motherly goat cries but tells the human not to say that she did not warn them. The tall skeleton then says out loud that he is going to Muffet’s walking past the child down to the entrance of the corridor.
While walking the clean-shaven goat humanoid mutters the words Toriel pausing himself as he could barely breath. The wide skeleton soon asks his brother that if he want anything before crumbling to dust becoming a stain upon the golden floor.
The child soon exits the corridor as the world regains its colours. The child exited into the dark hallway enveloped in darkness while the corridor starts to lose light as it’s gold colours slowly turned into a miserable brown.
The shining light is soon replaced by moonlight as the brown coloured corridor is filled with dark blues and purples. The pillars are poisoned with regal colours as the floor is dimly lit only showing the tiles on the floor.
Dark and light mist surround the area as suddenly from the light mist a being emerged as she is tall with goat-like features wearing her purple coat along with her violet jumper. The being wonders where she is saying it out loud while looking around the corridor as she could barely see.
Another entity emerges from the light walking aimless to try and find a semblance of life. The being also has goat-like features as he wears a purple hoodie along with dark shorts.
The beings locked eyes on each other surprised to see familiar faces as well as wearing similar clothing. Surprised to see each other alive and wonders what either of them is doing there.
The motherly goat speaks first “Asgore?”
Asgore spoke back “Toriel? Is that you?!”
Toriel states “I… I thought you were dead. You were slayed by the human back in Snowdin, so how are you still alive?”
Asgore’s reply “What are you talking about? You died in Snowdin after the human slayed you! I thought you were wearing body armour before where did you get those clothes from?”
Toriel questions “What? You’re the one who wears body armour all the time!”
They looked at each other in confusion, but before they could understand each other three more beings emerged from the light. One is a wide skeleton wearing a blue jacket, black shorts, and pinks slippers putting his hands inside his jumper’s pockets while walking along.
There is another skeleton beside him taller with an orange hoodie on along with brown shorts and orange sneakers while smoking a cigar. Another being is beside the wide skeleton wearing a green hoodie, blue jeans, and brown boots chatting among the skeletons.
The tall skeleton asks, “Do you have any idea where we are Mr. Sans?”
The wide skeleton replied back “I told you it’s just Sans and no I can barely see in here.”
The human added “Well I can only just tell we are back in the corridor somehow, but I think there is someone ahead of…”
The human paused and gasps surprised as they are surprised to see Toriel and Asgore.
The human mutters “Mom? Dad?”
The skeletons then look at the human then what is in front of them, and they are surprised as well. Toriel and Asgore are shocked to see their majesties in the corridor, but strangely enough they are wearing similar clothing to them as well.
Toriel and Asgore both said at the same time “Your majesties?!?”
Both Sans and the tall skeleton replies “Your majesty?!?”
The human adds on “That’s funny, but I think I can tell what is going on here just by looking at your clothes.”
Asgore asked “If you can explain the situation that would be most hopeful.”
The tall skeleton sighs “You are another variant of us.”
Toriel’s response “Beg your pardon?”
Sans continues “To put it simply there are multiple universes with their own different variations and what we can tell you whoever you think that person is next to you is not the same person as you once thought before.”
Toriel and Asgore both look at each other as it clarifies the confusion between them, but another question plagues their minds.
Asgore questions “How did we get here?”
The tall skeleton answers “Beats me. I’m Papyrus by the way and the green hooded one is Chara. Last, but not least we have Mr. Sans here as well.”
Sans scoffed “For the last time just call me Sans. Anyway, what we deduced before you arrived is that we were all killed and somehow, we were teleported to the corridor. We tried to exit this corridor however, for some reason we cannot leave whether it’s something or the human’s fault.”
Toriel questioned “Are you saying that they’re here?!”
Chara assured Toriel “We don’t know when they will come, but they always do eventually. We have no idea what their objective is other than to kill us. We’ll bring you up to…”
Chara looks upon the dark mist seeing blood red eyes and a killer’s smile. They are here.
Papyrus sighs “Looks like they’re here.”
Toriel and Asgore turns around seeing a child emerging out from the darkness. They could only see a smile and their eyes along with their weapon apart from that they could identify the rest of their features.
Sans, Chara, and Papyrus walks to Toriel and Asgore as well as standing beside them to show their strength in numbers. Chara’s eyes bleed red, Papyrus ignites his sunset eye, The left eye of Sans glows blue and yellow, Toriel’s eye burned orange, and lastly each of Asgore’s eyes become a different colour as one is coloured cyan while the other burns a sunset orange.
Although Toriel and Asgore barely understand the situation they at least know who their enemy is. Moonlight shines on the child while the dark mist covers the area behind them showing not a spec of light.
Sans stated “You’re outnumbered and outmatched kid even you could not withstand all of our attacks during our previous encounter. How about you tell us everything we need to know or let us go back, so we can stop this endless loop. So, what do you say?”
The child says nothing and instead takes another step forward as Sans sighs in disappointment.
Sans says, “Suit yourself kid.”
The kid chuckles then they all hear footsteps and from the darkness emerges four different beings resembling Sans the skeleton, but extremely different in their own way. Chara, Papyrus, as well as Sans are horrified to see their old foes once again and know how violent they can be.
Standing right next to the child is a Sans with pure black eye sockets as dried tears is stained upon his skull. The Sans wears a black jumper along with a discoloured blue jacket he also wears black shorts and dreary sneakers while wielding a knife that is stained with dust.
The one next to him is a Sans holding Papyrus’ head with a sharp bone in its skull. The Sans is scared and scratched all over as remnants of blood and dust is displayed on his clothing, hands, as well as his skull. The eyes of that Sans kept twitching uncontrollably looking upon his enemies.
On the other side next to the child is a Sans with his hood up, but he could not hide away his maroon eyes. The jacket, shorts, and slippers are all smothered in dust, but he kept eyes on his original counterpart.
Lastly the last being holds an axe as a part of his skull is severely damaged, but one of his eye sockets glows a ruby colour displaying his unhinged eye. The clothes of that Sans are more ragged and torn up as he puts his fingers in his uncoloured eye socket which unsettled his opponents.
The axe wielding Sans asks a question to the Sans wielding a knife. “Well, well, well what do we have here killer?”
Killer’s answer “Looks like we found them Horror along with some new guests.”
Horror mentions to the Sans holding a skull in his hands “Insanity take care of the green hooded human. I’ll take care of the King lookalike.”
Horror points his axe at Asgore while Insanity twitches his head looking upon Chara with malicious intent. Asgore looks upon his King lookalike wondering what happened to him, but nevertheless he is prepared to fight the variant of his King.
Killer demands the Sans with his hood up “Murder would you be so kind that you eliminate Toriel for us. I still have business to attend to with that Papyrus lookalike.”
Murder is silent as he would of much preferred fighting Chara instead, so he could feel no remorse while fighting his opponent. Although from different timelines it pains him to kill his brother or his friends’ lookalikes however, he is no longer in control, and he has a job to do.
Murder finally replies, “Let’s get this over with.”
Killer talks to the child “I’ll let you take care of my lookalike here, but don’t get in my way otherwise I’ll kill you too.”
The child looks at Killer, but then back at Sans. The child’s appearance changes from being undistinguishable to having Caucasian skin, blue jumper, & shorts along with brown hair.
Sans recognises the human now as it is his from his universe, but whether they are actually his human or otherwise it did not matter. Insanity then dashes at Chara as he strikes with the skull in his hand however, Chara teleports back as the attack misses.
Insanity keeps dashing at Chara not letting up his onslaught of attacks, but little did he know Chara is leading him to the end of the Corridor so they can have their battle without accidently harming anyone in the process. The blinding mist hides them as they are no longer in sight.
Horror suddenly slashes at Asgore with his axe only to be blocked by his levitating trident. Horror then uses a parry of strikes aiming for his head, torso, and legs, but Asgore swiftly levitates his trident to counteract those strikes while being pushed back into the enveloping white haze vanishing along with Horror.
Murder looked upon Toriel remembering his past of when he had to kill her in his universe. Apart from his brother it was heart wrenching for him as they were once friends however, he needed more L.O.V.E to stop the human so he had to betray her.
Toriel notices Murder’s reluctance wondering what happened to her in his universe, but despite her curiosity she concocted flames out of her hands and fires upon the hooded skeleton. Murder then snaps back to reality avoiding the incoming flames as he walks back hiding in the dark mist. Toriel follows after him passing Killer and the child.
Killer and the child did nothing as they focus is on Sans and Papyrus as moonlight shone upon them. Both Sans and Papyrus chuckle knowing full well that they are outmatched, but even so they are still determined to live another day.
Papyrus questions them “Do you want to have a bad time?”
Sans added on “Because if you take another step forward…”
They both continue “You’re really not going to like what happens next.”
Killer and the child both take a step forward pointing their blades upon the skeleton as they both chuckle once again.
Both the skeletons said, “How about we just get straight to the point?”
Sans uses blue magic on the human lifting them up to the ceiling as their gravity rotation is reversed. Sans stands and uses a giant head skull levitating himself to the ceiling facing the human as Killer and Papyrus are left down on the ground.
Papyrus looks up at them saying “Well that’s new.”
Killer launches himself at Papyrus taking advantage while Papyrus is distracted. The attack did not land as Papyrus simply moves out of the way as Killer flies past him.
Papyrus asks, “How long can you keep moving?”
Papyrus turns the colour of Killer’s Soul into orange as Killer suddenly keeps moving not letting himself stop otherwise, he will be damaged. Papyrus sends multiple walls of bones at the murderous skeleton, but he avoids them by zigging and zagging as he is in arm’s length of Papyrus again.
Killer strikes, but to no avail as Papyrus avoids his attack although it results Killer’s Soul reverting back to its blood red colours. Meanwhile the child jumps over multiple bone obstacles while stranded on the ceiling.
Sans then switches his attack using multiple skull heads firing beams of light at the child however, it yields no results as the child easily avoids them. Sans sighs as the child swings their knife, but Sans simply moves out the way commanding his floating giant head skull to avoid the attack.
Sans says “Listen Frisk or whether you are them it does not matter. Why are you helping them?”
The Frisk lookalike simply states that they can get them out of the endless loop while also finding something new to play with. Sans scoffs as he is disgusted by the Frisk lookalike’s answer and without anything left to say he continues the fight with a barrage of bones launching at the child.
In the bright mist Insanity is looking for Chara however, with his sight hindered he could not discover where they are. Instantly multiple crimson blades are plunged into Insanity’s back as he turns around yet, no person nor monster appeared, so he waits until they attack again.
Twitch, turns, twisting upon each direction he turns, but still no sign of the green hooded human. The skull cracking in anticipation without fear neither doubt. Immediately a knife cuts into the cracking bones of Insanity as the bleeding eyes of Chara stares directly into his heart and Soul yet that is the biggest mistake they will ever make.
With Insanity’s free hand he grabs Chara by the throat and violently crashes them to one of the corridor’s pillars. Chara gasps for air struggling to break free from Insanity’s grasp however, he uses his brother’s skull bashing it upon Chara’s face.
Chara yelps in pain as her face is bruised as her nose starts to bleed. Chocked by Insanity’s grip he kept bashing the skull upon Chara’s face bruising and creating internal damage as her skull cracks with each collision with the skull. Chara mutters for help, but her voice could not be heard as she starts losing consciousness.
In the darkness Toriel uses her flames to see herself within the darkening mist yet she could not see her opponent. Looking around a creak is heard below her as the floor is cracked. Instinctively she moves out of the way as suddenly in front of her a pile of uprising bones appeared attempting to swiftly put her to rest but failed.
A grunt is heard behind her as she started firing randomly upon whoever is behind her. Flames scorched upon the hooded skeleton not fazed by damage Toriel inflicted upon him and just looks at her with restless eyes.
Toriel sees the barely sees the monster as his dull red eyes are only visible, but shortly hides back into the darkness again. Annoyed Toriel summons multiple flames upon the floor dimly lighting up the area around her however, it is not enough to see her opponent.
Toriel’s blazing eye still ignited is trying ever so hard to find this Sans lookalike, but a bone passes by grazing her cheek. Toriel turns around summoning a giant skull with large horns blocking the incoming attack of bones as they inflict damage upon the skull.
Toriel just avoids danger however, another creak is heard from the floor. Toriel jumps out to her left, but a sharp bone pierces her leg as she screams out in pain tears start welling up in her eyes. Toriel is kneeling on the floor as walls of bones surrounded her east and west while two giant skulls ahead of her appeared with bleeding and cyan eyes.
Emerging out of the blackening mist is Murder as his dull maroon eyes look upon his victim. The flames are soon engulfed in darkness as blasts of pure light come raging towards Toriel while her instincts caved in summoning her own skull defending herself from the blast.
Toriel could not think straight on where she wanted to teleport as dust spurts out of her leg distracting her from focusing. The blasts continued as Toriel’s head skull starts to break and crumble, but she holds onto hope using her determination to stay strong and continuing to defend herself.
Back in the white mist but desaturated as Asgore and Horror are visible to each other while the clashes of Horror’s axe and Asgore’s trident are heard within the Corridor. Impatient Horror summons bones upon the ceiling as they started falling upon Asgore about to penetrate him.
Asgore then summons a wall of fire surrounding his behind disintegrating the sharpened bones, but instantly Horror uses his axe to strike at Asgore’s head as Asgore has seconds to avoid it. Luckily Asgore is not beheaded however, he is not unharmed as the axe slashes off one of his horns resulting in Asgore being temporarily blinded by his dust while writhing in pain.
Horror gleefully taking advantage of the opportunity raises his axe about to finish his King lookalike off, but then he summons bursts of fire randomly causing Horror to retreat due to the unpredictability of the direction of the flames.
Scoffing Horror just wasted his opportunity as Asgore wipes the dust from his eyes seeing his opponent once again although dust still pours down from his wound. Horror places his axe on his shoulder looking directly at Asgore and vice versa.
Horror mentions “You know you remind of my former King before he died.”
Asgore did not reply back as the silence is shortly broken by Horror again.
Horror continues “You were about to meet him heads up, but I’ll make sure I cook you on a stake since I never tried roast goat before.”
Asgore is disgusted by Horror’s comment launching his trident at him as Horror deflects the attack however, as he swung his axe multiple fire balls are about to connect to his body. Asgore smirks, but Horror teleports in the nick of time avoiding the attack altogether which makes Asgore frown as he could not inflict damage upon Horror.
Horror visibly enraged charges at Asgore swinging his axe while once again being blocked by Asgore’s trident as it teleported in front of both of them. Out from the black and the white in the moonlight of the corridor the battle between judges and killers continues.
Sans becomes repetitive using the same strikes to attack the Frisk lookalike but are becoming faster and more flexible being able to strike at Sans more often. Papyrus does not take the same approach using more powerful attacks to catch his opponent off guard.
Sans starts to get tired deciding to plant the human to the ground, but Killer is also tired and uses his special attack summoning a Dark Gaster Blaster firing it at Papyrus as he teleports in mid-air to dodge the attack. Sans forces the human to fall back to the ground however, he soon realises that Papyrus is just centimetres away from the child.
Sans panics as Killer also closes in on Papyrus.
The falling child sees Papyrus under them and tilts their knife waiting to reach Papyrus. Killer on the other hand is heading straight for Papyrus about strike again as Papyrus just recognises that he is about to be attacked once again although he has no idea that the child is above him.
Sans sees this in slow motion and horrifying thoughts rush in his heading reliving his brother’s death and running out of options he chose to teleport in front of Papyrus. Both Killer and the Frisk lookalike strike at Sans heavily wounding the skeleton creating an X scar upon his body as ketchup spills out from his body.
Papyrus yelps out “No!”
Instantly Papyrus catches Sans and teleports them back to a safe distance holding a variant of his brother in his arms as it reminds him when his brother was killed by the human. Sans looks at Papyrus glad that he is okay, but at the same time terrified what is about to happen to him.
Papyrus questions Sans “Why?”
Sans coughs as his answer is “Sorry… I… just didn’t want… my brother dying once again.”
Papyrus replied, “You’re an idiot.”
Sans chuckles answering, “I know… but even so… you’re still my brother… want anything… when we go to Grillby’s?”
Sans crumbles to dust in Papyrus’ arms as Papyrus hold his blue jacket clenching tightly although that Sans is from another universe, he just lost his brother again. Tears stream down Papyrus’ skull as both Killer and the child laugh mocking the skeleton.
Papyrus stands up and wraps the blue jacket around his waist then stares down at Killer and the child who transforms yet again as they are wearing a green jumper with a yellow stripe as well as brown trousers and boots. Papyrus wonders if the child is a shapeshifter, but the thought is overshadowed by his unyielding rage.
Papyrus lifts his arm as a large crack in the ground forms beneath both Killer and the child. They both notices as Killer teleported while the child jumps as large bones rise from the floor closing in on Papyrus’ opponents.
Papyrus then turns their Souls orange as the bones returned to the ground as the child lands on the floor. Killer teleports and starts striking Papyrus using a ruthless assault while keeping himself moving, so that he would not be harmed. Papyrus dodges the strikes with furious intent as he punches Killer right in the skull forcing him to stagger back.
Killer for a moment stood still as cracks formed in his skeleton hands although not fazed, he scoffs surprised being punched from Papyrus. The damaged skeleton runs towards Papyrus again as the child runs beside him. Papyrus missiles bones with raging passion as the attacks graze Killer and the human spilling both blood and dust in the moonlight.
Bone by bone more damage is inflicted upon the Killer duo, yet their enemy is in close range about to strike the killing blow. In close range Papyrus smirks as his eye ignites a sunset colour as a loud creak is heard below Killer and the child.
Killer then realises they have fallen for a trap as bones start to rise from the ground. Instinctively Killer teleports while the child is impaled by the bones blood spurting out staining the floor along with the bones in a mahogany red. Papyrus stare at the corpse of the child, but soon hears footsteps behind dashing towards him.
Killer is behind Papyrus ready to inflict the killing blow, but Papyrus does not turn around and past the bones he sees a golden star soon transforming back into the child ready for round two.
Apathy dwells on Papyrus seeing the child resurrected with their power of Determination continuing on without resetting the world not able to see his brother’s variant as Papyrus hoped. Killer is about to strike the finishing blow as Papyrus lifts his head up into the air looking at the pane glass with the delta rune symbol reflecting moonlight.
Papyrus correcting Sans “It’s Muffet’s in my world.”
Chara is barely conscious as they are continuously pummelled by the skeleton’s skull as their face is bruised, bloody, and blemished holding onto life by a thread. Toriel defences are slowly breaking as the skull cracks to its breaking point as Toriel looks away preparing for the worst.
Asgore is starting to feel fatigued using vast amounts of magic while Horror kept up his onslaught. Asgore kneels in exhausted while Horror swings down his axe. Asgore using his remaining magic blocks the axe using his trident, but Horror infuriated slashes at the trident multiple times as the trident deteriorates being repeatedly struck down.
Cracks forms and worsen on the trident as Asgore is holding on for dear life and Horror raises his axe ready to cut down the trident along with his King’s variant. Hope is lost as defeat lingers nigh however, rapidly the dark and light mist collide forming an eerie as well as producing a dim light coming from the middle of the corridor.
The mist on both sides is engulfed by the dim light creating something that forms lightning with a smoke-like appearance. The corridor is no longer covered in mist as a figure exits from the dim light that formed like a lightning bolt.
The figure is skinny wearing an oversized charcoal coat only revealing their boots below. The figure also wears a pale white jumper and a pale white neck warmer covering their neck. The appearance of the figure is that they have long dark brown hair as their eyes glow a burning orange with a dark violet outline as the colours clash with each other.
Everyone looks at the young human adult as Toriel, Asgore, Papyrus, nor Chara know if he is friend or if he is foe. The Sans lookalikes look upon the person with intrigue wondering why he is here despite their last confrontation.
The person looks upon East of the corridor seeing Asgore, Horror, Insanity, and Chara. The person smirks immediately extending his hand and fingers as violet strings aim at Horror and Asgore. Horror moves out of the way as Asgore collapses to the floor as the strings extended towards Insanity capturing his body and Soul as he is wrapped around violet strings.
The human in dark clothing commands Insanity to let go of Chara as he is forced to drop the green hooded human. Chara falls to the ground in a bloody mess as the human adult uses his free hand to call upon a fireball launching it at the wounded human as they could not react or even defend themselves from the attack.
Chara is hit however, instead of being scorched in flames their health is restored as all injuries are nullified. Surprised they even get up to their feet despite their clothes still being smothered with blood. Killer and the child panics racing towards the human to kill him, so that he cannot heal more of their enemies.
Horror also dashes towards the human to stop him as well, but the being commands Insanity to attack his allies. First, he swiftly catches up and clubs Horror with the skull knocking him down to the ground then is ordered to drop his skull which he does so.
Killer and the shapeshifting child are behind the dark entity ready to finish him off however, Insanity appears in front of them grabbing their necks and slamming them to the ground.
They both gasp dropping their knives upon the cracked floor while being held by Insanity. Meanwhile Murder looks upon the smoke behind him wondering if the continued blast annihilated Toriel only to be shocked that a giant red skull mechanically wired defended the goat humanoid.
Murder is shocked to see the Determination Extractor appear in front of him while Toriel is safe and sound. The human adult then orders the Determination Extractor to fire at Murder as a beam of light strikes at him. Murder teleports away avoiding the attack but is standing against Insanity.
The being then decides to let the killers go retreating Insanity then ordering him to toss Horror at them. Insanity throws the body of Horror like a ragdoll ahead of them. Chara put’s Asgore arm around them helping him to stand on his feet. Papyrus and Toriel both teleport to their side as they are behind the human adult.
Killer, Horror, and the child all get up to their feet beside Murder as they look at the human as the black and white colours disappear as moonlight covers the corridor reflecting the delta rune symbol.
Murder breaks the silence “I was wondering when you were going to appear again, but I believe you never properly introduce yourself before. So, tell me what your name is human!”
The being is about to speak, but for a moment he forgets his name however he shortly answers “Krotos.”
Murder questions “So Krotos do you really believe you can defeat us? Sure, you may have Insanity right now and those behind you, but what is stopping us from killing them?”
Krotos replied “CORE I would appreciate if you can them get them out of here.”
A child with grey skin, clothing, dark grey hair, and black eyelids suddenly appears beside Krotos.
CORE answers “On it.”
CORE suddenly appears in front of the group extending a hand to them.
CORE says, “Come with me and I can help you.”
Papyrus retorts “We heard the same thing from them how are you any different?”
CORE warns “If you don’t you will die here. I do not wish to harm you in any way. All I ask from you is to come with me.”
Horror, Killer, and Murder are about to teleport to stop them from escaping however, Insanity commanded by Krotos plants both Horror and Killer back to the ground while Murder and the child are now past Krotos. Murder is about to raise his arm to summon bones beneath while the child dashes towards CORE’s direction.
Krotos snaps his fingers.
A room full of arrows projectile themselves in Murder’s and the child’s direction as Murder is forced to teleport to safety while the child is heavily damaged as the smoke-like magical arrows pierce their body.
Toriel then without any hesitation accepts CORE’s hand as she is teleported out of that universe. Papyrus is about to hold her, but it was too late for him to say anything. Chara looks at their father’s variant and running out of options they make their decision.
Chara apologises “Sorry Papyrus.”
Chara accepts CORE’s hand as well as both Chara and Asgore are teleported out of that universe. Papyrus is still hesitant deciding whether he should stay and fight or to trust this child. Killer and Horror with their combine strength shove Insanity off them while Frisk is immobilised, and Murder is avoiding the fog-like arrows.
Papyrus is hesitant in trusting others claiming that they would help him get out, but reluctantly he accepts CORE’s hand no longer interested in fighting anymore. CORE and Papyrus teleport out of the corridor as Krotos dematerialises his arrows as he no longer has to worry about them.
Insanity is beside Krotos again picking up his brother’s skull still being commanded while the child takes a few steps back not sure what their opponent would do next. Their appearance reverts back to being undistinguishable only having red eyes and a smile.
Horror and Killer both grab their weapons from the brittle floor as Murder and the child regroup with them staring down Krotos. Unwavering confidence is displayed just by looking at Krotos while the killers wonder why he is so confident in the first place.
Murder mentions “You’ve changed. From your appearance to your abilities. Tell me how you got that spike in power?”
Krotos teases “Being around the multiverse you learn a trick or two. It was a wonder learning new types of magic from different universes, but I don’t believe that’s all you have to say.”
Murder continues “Your power is abnormal even for a human so here is a better question. How many people did you kill in order to acquire that power?”
Krotos is silent for a moment then shortly answering “I didn’t need to kill to gain power. It was more like a helping hand.”
Murder annoyed by the vague answer responded, “No matter even with Insanity you can’t defeat all of us.”
Krotos chuckles which baffles Murder, so he asks, “What’s so funny?”
Krotos announces “Did you really believe that I would come unprepared for this? Insanity isn’t the only one who I have under my grasp but let me show you for how unprepared you are for what is about to come.”
Krotos snaps his fingers again as three more beings appeared in the shining corridor. One is a tall skeleton wearing a dreary cedar coat, a navy-blue t-shirt, a bright red scarf, dark tracksuit bottoms, and finally long red boots. One of the skeleton’s eyes glows amber while the other eye is coloured turquoise.
Next to the skeleton is a human girl with long brown hair dyed pink. The human’s eyes are pink wearing a purple and pink jumper along with a pink skirt as well as purple trouser and brown boots.
Beside the human is another very similar to the skeleton however, his teeth are jiggered and bloody wearing battle armour similar to his Undertale counterpart, yet it is damaged and scared. The skeleton is surprised to see who is ahead of him as Horror looks back terrified at what he is seeing.
Horror says out louds “Brother.”
Murder turns to look at Horror as his dread is visible recognising that Horror might become a liability. The ruby eye of Horror is filled with life as his confidence is fading seeing his brother wrapped around in violet strings.
Krotos declared “I welcome you the one in the brown coat Dustbelief Papyrus. The pink one is named Bête Noire and finally the one in the damaged battle suit is Horrortale Papyrus, but you already knew that didn’t you Horror?”
Horror scoffs “Bastard!”
Krotos assured “Oh I know, but Dustbelief don’t you want to say hello to your brother again?”
Dustbelief is shocked as well seeing Murder once again alive and well however, Murder did not share those feelings as he killed his brother long ago.
Krotos brings up “You know you were in his timeline Murder and events leading up to Snowdin played exactly the same, but with a twist. This Papyrus killed you and continued on the genocide in your name, but it’s interesting since you both have separate goals. Funny is it not?”
Murder remains silent, but he does not ever remember ever giving his name out to Krotos. The thought is instantly dismissed replaced by the pity for Dustbelief for becoming a murderer like him.
Killer questioned “Just because you have a few more toys does not mean it won’t stop me from killing you.”
Krotos replies “Oh really now?”
Krotos with his violet strings attached to all his puppets commands Bête Noire as her eyes light up in a rose-like flame then Killer sees his former friends along with his brother. Voices are screeched into his heard as they are demeaning him, and a chill crawled down his spine.
Killer is left speechless as flickers of light came from his eye sockets while rapidly losing confidence. Krotos sees that Killer is afraid shrinking the skeleton’s arrogance down to size. Murder also notices that Killer is now shaken as doubt clouds his mind the murderous skeleton is wondering if they can even defeat the human.
The child begins running towards their opponents as Krotos demands Insanity rushing towards them grabbing their face throwing them down to the ground pinning them. Krotos decides its about time the power of these individuals.
Krotos confident is declaring “Let’s see how well you deal with these lot.”
Krotos uses both his hands controlling his puppets as they dash towards his opponents. Dustbelief creates two amber magic swords from his hands swinging them at Murder as he evades the attacks.
Bête Noire conjectures a scythe slashing at Killer while he blocks the attack with his knife. They swing blades, but Bête is swiftly overpowering Killer forcing him retreat while blocking against her attacks.
Horrortale Papyrus summons bleeding bones into his hands attacking Horror while he defends himself with his axe. Horror does not want to hurt his brother, but he could not summons bones at Krotos since his brother won’t let him counterattack.
Insanity just slams the child back and forth onto the ground throwing them up into the air hitting the ceiling only for them to fall on the harden, cracked, broken floor. Insanity then steps on their head pushing down all of his weight as the human tries to escape from his grasp.
Meanwhile Murder is avoiding being pierced by a sword teleporting wherever he could find only to find a bone or a sword flying in his direction. Murder is losing stamina at and incredible rate trying to get at least a second of time, but only to be interrupted by his brother lookalike.
Murder is exhausted as stops evading catching his breath only to thrusted by an orange blade right through his chest plate. Murder takes extensive damage teleporting to the beginning of the corridor while the blade is still right through his chest.
Murder pulls out the blade as ketchup is sprayed on his clothes and the sword as well as his dust. Murder kneels as Dustbelief walks up to him reluctantly following the orders of Krotos.
Dustbelief begs “Human please. Don’t make me kill my brother again.”
Krotos ignores the comment as Murder is fazing in and out of consciousness while Dustbelief grabs his sword from the ground. Dustbelief closes his eye sockets not wanting to see what happens next, but he is ordered to do nothing yet.
Killer clashes blades with Bête firing bones upon her only to be cut down by her scythe. Bête’s eye glows as Killer hallucinates seeing his former friends and brother taunting him for what he has done.
Killer shouts “STOP IT!!!”
Krotos questioned “Why? You never did.”
The hallucination gets worse as Killer’s Soul becomes unstable hearing voices saying why did he kill them? Why did he made them suffer? Did he even love them at all?
Killer could no longer look dropping his knife and gripping his skull. Killer tries to cancel out the noise however he could, but the voices only gets louder and harsher. Killer falls to the ground feeling sorrow, guilt, and pain once again weakening him wanting to feel nothing again.
Horror found himself in a similar situation to Murder being too tired to carry on the fight kneeling on the floor looking up to his crying brother while holding a sharpened bone near to his skull. Horror looks at the human despising him to fight his brother and is out of choices.
Horror announces “I yield… I yield… Just don’t hurt my brother.”
Krotos smiles as all of his opponents are on their knees wounded, tired or mentally exhausted to carry on. Insanity chokes the child as they are hung in the air immobilised.
Krotos pulls the strings ordering Bête Noire, Dustbelief, and Horrortale Papyrus stand aside him while leaving Insanity in the middle of the corridor.
Krotos offers “Then let me offer you a proposition. Join me and together we can save the galaxies. I can also provide supplies and shelter for your people as well.”
Murder stands up just barely and stares down the human asking “You want us to abandon our Boss and join you? How do I know you are telling the truth and you won’t backstab us when you have the chance?”
Krotos assured Murder “If I wanted you dead, I would have done it by now, but is this really what you want Murder? I’ve seen your past and you wanted to end the Genocide by any means necessary, but tell me this why are you siding with Nightmare?”
Murder is silent, but Krotos continues “You wanted to end the Genocide, yet you are inflicting suffering to others who haven’t even done any wrong. Do you want to continue this senseless slaughter erasing all positive emotions with no thought or will you finally take a stand? Which is it?”
Murder is in lost thought wondering whether to join the human or to stay loyal to his boss, but a voice behind him speaks.
Horror asked, “Asking us to join you is like a death sentence and what would I get even if I did agree?”
Krotos answers “I also seen your past Horror and the residents of Horrortale are low on resources. If you join my cause and when all of this is over, I can send you, your brother, and everyone from that AU to mine. You’ll never go hungry again.”
Horror considers his options, but also wonders “If I join you will you let my brother go?”
Krotos demands “Shake your brother’s hand!”
Krotos forces Horrortale Papyrus to stand next to Insanity extending his hand out as Horror stands up walking towards his brother.
Murder warns “Horror you know what will happen when they catch you.”
Horror’s reply “He’s my brother and even if I attacked him there’s no telling what would happen next. I won’t abandon him unlike you two.”
Horror then continues walking up to his brother as he shakes his hand looking at him.
Horror reassures his brother “Don’t worry I’ve got you.”
Krotos snaps his fingers once again teleporting them both out of that universe.
Krotos questions “Anyone else?”
Killer stands up as flicker of light come from his eye sockets, but quickly vanish as neither Murder nor Killer moved. Suddenly a wave of black liquid cuts the strings upon Insanity freeing him from the clutches of Krotos.
Standing in front of Killer and Murder a black liquid transformed resembling them. The figure is covered in black slime with cyan outlining detailing his body as appendages come out from his body.
Krotos continues to smile saying “At last we finally meet. Greetings Nightmare.”
Nightmare angrily responding “Horror will pay once I get my hands on him. Killer, Murder you weren’t thinking on joining him, were you?”
They both nod agreeing that they would not join Krotos.
Nightmare continues “You on the other hand are a much more important matter.”
Krotos mockingly said “I’m honoured, but Horror is now mine and I can’t wait until we meet again.”
Nightmare questioning Krotos “Who said you are leaving?”
Krotos tells Nightmare “Oh don’t worry I’ll leave a parting gift.”
Krotos tugs at Bête Noire’s strings as her pink Soul shatters.
Krotos mentioned “Just so you know she did drink some sought of vial. It might be deadly.”
Bête Noire transforms somewhat similar to the child still being held in the air by Insanity as he looks at Krotos. Bête is covered in dark slime only showing pink gleaming eyes while smoke-like mist appears behind Krotos.
Krotos speaks gleefully “Have fun you lot.”
Krotos and Dustbelief enter the smoke-like portal entering in the mist and vanishing from the universe. Nightmare not bothered fighting an abomination reverts back into liquid collecting Insanity, Killer, and Murder transporting them out of the universe as well leaving behind the child and Bête Noire.
Both children covered in darkness as the moonlight fades. The corridor is engulfed by darkness only showing a glow from the child with a blood red smile and ruby eyes against the flaming, soulless abomination. They dash towards each other ready to claim their next soul as the shadows are cutting deeper until nothing else exists.
Only the Void.
Chapter 3: Swift Decisions
Summary:
(Part 2 of the original story)
Chapter Text
In a White Void full of life in a middle of a village similar to Snowdin just out of the area stands Papyrus, Toriel, and Chara holding Asgore all looking at the grey child know as CORE. The grey child looks up at them seeing their trauma after the events of what just happened.
Papyrus looks around seeing variants of himself and his friends casually chatting towards each other. A refreshing sight after all that he has lost. Chara looks around trying to find Sans the skeleton wondering where he is.
Chara’s question “Where is Sans?”
The relief of Papyrus soon fades as he remembers what happened to his brother sacrificing himself in order for him to survive. Papyrus unwraps Sans’ jacket from his waist showing the stained jacket to them.
Chara’s shock is visible as they then look down gritting their teeth as they just lost a friend.
Papyrus apologised “I’m sorry Chara. They got him.”
Chara’s reply “Damn them! Damn them all!”
CORE says, “My condolences for what happened to Sans he will be missed along with the rest.”
Toriel asked “The rest?”
CORE explains “Chara and Papyrus already know about the different universes, but in actuality there’s a whole Multiverse surrounding universes. Or at least there was.”
Curiosity intrigues them wanting to know what happened to Multiverse.
CORE sighs continuing “The former protectors of all AUs have both abandoned their posts and are now helping in the destruction of the Multiverse.”
Asgore leaning on Chara asks, “For what reason?”
CORE clarifies “For Dream to destroy all positive emotions alongside his brother Nightmare, but for Ink to help his friend X-Gaster to create the one perfect universe. I know you don’t know these individuals, but they are the main causes of the Multiverse’s destruction.”
Papyrus questioned “And how are they doing this?”
CORE tells them “Originally when an AU is destroyed two more are created however, that is no longer the case. Instead of destroying AUs they erase all lifeforms on whichever universe then leaving to do the same for the next one. Without anybody from their natural universe it cannot reset or destroyed unless by an AU destroyer, but Dream convinced all the destroyers to stop destroy AUs and focus on eliminating all life instead. Perfect annihilation.”
Papyrus added on “And what would this Dream get after destroying all positive emotions?”
CORE said. “Complete control of the Multiverse. Dream’s servant Bill Cipher Sans would finally be able to create his own twisted variation of Armageddon as the Multiverse becomes infested with negative emotions so that both Dream and Nightmare can feed off on them.”
The statement sends a chill down everybody’s spine including CORE’s knowing that the Multiverse will be nothing more than a playground for malicious entities. Chara, Papyrus, Asgore, and Toriel are a bit disgusted after hearing that this Dream and Nightmare could feed off negative emotions like a parasite. Now they wonder if there is anything they can do.
CORE states “For what happens next is completely up to you but know this if you don’t help more lives will be at stake. I will not judge for what you are going to decide, so without further ado I will give you a choice.
Help us save the Multiverse from destruction, but I cannot promise that you will survive. Or stay here in the Omega Timeline where you will be safe and you can start your lives again, but the Multiverse will perish.
Whatever you decide I will not judge and from here on out there is no going back for whatever you choose. All I ask is that you don’t regret your decision.”
Papyrus and Chara look at each other.
Chara wanted to save whatever they could and to stop those beings from harming anyone again, but Papyrus did not share those feelings even if Chara thought he did. Papyrus starts walking to CORE towering the grey child looking down at them while wrapping his brother’s variant jacket back on his waist.
Papyrus spoke “I don’t want to other people getting hurt ever again, but after what I just seen… I don’t want to fight anymore.”
Chara is at a loss for words not believing what Papyrus has just said. Toriel and Asgore looked at the skeleton pitifully slightly disappointed however, they can empathise with him. CORE nods their head as Papyrus simply sighs just wanting to find his inner peace.
CORE told Papyrus “I understand.”
Chara though retorted “What are you saying? They killed Sans and you are letting them off the hook just because you do not want to fight anymore?! Although he was from a different universe, he was still your brother, and he means nothing to you?”
Papyrus turns around looks at Chara seeing their anger towards him as Toriel and Asgore did not know what to say to calm the situation down.
Papyrus answers “Chara I’ve already seen my brother died twice today. I don’t want to see your deaths either.”
Chara understands why Papyrus is so reluctant to fight, but what they could not understand is why Papyrus would not avenge his brother. Papyrus recognises what they are about to ask, but he interjects.
Papyrus continued “I will always love my brother, but he’s gone. I just want to live, and there are no resets, no murderous children, and I do not want to continue if all I am ever going to feel is pain. I don’t want to lose anything anymore and I hope you can understand that.”
Chara’s anger soon turns into empathy realising that they are not considerate of his feelings.
Chara apologises “I’m sorry. I just…”
Papyrus answers back “Don’t worry I would feel the same way if our roles were reversed.”
CORE questions “Anyone else?”
No one else moved not even Asgore although he is tired, he wants to help however he can and so does Toriel. Chara stayed wanting to avenge their King lookalike and to stop the destruction of the Multiverse however they can.
Suddenly fog appears behind them as a dim light cut through as one in dark clothing appears exiting the portal alone. CORE suspected that he would show up soon and just in time.
Krotos declared the obvious “Looks like you all made it safe and sound.”
Papyrus, Chara, Toriel, and Asgore look at Krotos as his hands are behind his back displaying an eerie presence. CORE looks at him seeing his ghastly appearance with his darkened hair and his sun and night-like reflecting eyes.
CORE declaring to Krotos “I’ve already filled them in what is going on, but only Papyrus will not be joining you.”
Krotos replied “I understand, but it looks like that Sans is not among you. A pity I would have liked to talk with him however, that is impossible now. No matter, but before we go…”
Krotos outstretches his hand using magic to fire flames at Asgore and Toriel restoring their bodies to full health. Toriel loses the bone in her leg as it disintegrates while one Asgore’s horns regenerates.
They all wonder except for CORE how Krotos could he regenerate their bodies, but the dim light becomes more erratic shooting small bursts what seemed like lightning. Krotos looks at them with a serious expression.
Krotos mentioned “Enter through this fog and there is no turning back. I cannot promise you that all of you will survive including myself, but we might just save our worlds if we try. Now make your choice!”
Toriel, Papyrus, and Asgore are hesitant at first, but Chara removes Asgore’s arm from their shoulders and runs entering the smoke-lie portal without hesitation determined to avenge Sans. Toriel and Asgore look at each other nodding their heads walking into the fog disappearing from the Omega Timeline.
Before Krotos enters his portal CORE speaks “Are you sure you want to continue? We can still save the residents even if we cannot the Multiverse.”
Krotos said in response “My world is at stake although it’s branched to the original universe like so many others X-Gaster could wipe all the futures and histories that was ever created. I am not backing down now, and I will save the Multiverse whatever means necessary.”
Lastly Krotos enters through the portal disappearing along with the fog no longer in the Omega Timeline. CORE turns around to the village and starts walking to it as Papyrus followed both wishing them luck whatever they might face.
In a dreary castle sitting upon a throne is another Sans lookalike resembling Nightmare, with the only differences that his outlines for his body are gold, wearing star-like robes as well as a golden headband above his slimy skull. The dark slimy skeleton calmly sighs upon his throne.
The slimy skeleton points out “So let me get this straight. This human abducted Insanity as well as our future allies Bête Noire, Dustbelief, and Horror’s brother am I correct?”
Murder and Killer are looking up at the being sitting upon his throne alongside Nightmare standing beside his brother looking down at them. Murder currently wounded although the pain eventually fizzled out while Killer has nothing to say.
Nightmare corrects his brother “Fortunately I managed to free Insanity from the human’s grasp, but I would like you two to explain to Dream what happened immediately!”
Nightmare is starting to lose patience annoyed that his subjects failed him to eliminate their targets. Killer looks away refusing to answer, but Murder steps forward looking at Dream directly.
Murder sighs explaining “It is the same human we have faced back in Outertale alongside with that universe’s Undyne, but he is much different than he was before.”
Dream questions “How different?”
Murder continues “He is much stronger than he was before, and his appearance changed as well now wearing an oversized black coat. Although this may seem insignificant the colour of his eyes changed as well as it used to be red and silver, but it is now orange and purple. I believe his new spike in power is related to that and to put in his words he had a helping hand whoever that may be.”
Nightmare nor Dream are pleased by Murder’s statements however, they need to know as much as they can.
Nightmare groans saying, “Speculating will not get us anywhere, but tell me does he have a name?”
Murder answered, “The human’s name is Krotos.”
Nightmare then is slightly surprised hearing that name again however, Dream notices that his brother knows this Krotos and decides to pursue Nightmare’s knowledge on the person.
Dream looks intensely at Nightmare asking, “Do you know him?”
Nightmare responds “After I unsuccessfully tried to locate Cross Ink comes up to me in the Void saying that he has been sent by X-Gaster. At the time I had no interest to hear what Ink has to say, but before I abruptly left all I heard is. ‘A human named Krotos is one of your…’ then I left however, I know what he was trying to say back then.”
Dream inquires “He is your…?”
Nightmare adds on for Dream “Experiment. An experiment that me and X-Gaster created.”
Dream slightly surprised stated “Why haven’t I heard this up until now brother?”
Nightmare replying, “At the time it wasn’t important merely something I created for my entertainment however, I did want my Souls being infused with our army to empower them significantly until X-Gaster diverted them.”
Dream honestly says “Well it looks like your experiment is on the loose and is desperately attempting to save the Multiverse no matter how laughable it might be.”
It does not matter either way, but what is concerning is Horror’s betrayal. I do not want my subjects thinking that they can get away with disobeying me. If or whenever Horror and his brother show their faces, I want Insanity Sans and Papyrus to deal with them.”
Nightmare interjects “Shouldn’t we use them against the human instead of the Horrortale skeleton brothers?”
Dream elaborates “Indeed they are useful assets to our cause, but this human can control whoever he grasps using strings similar to the Errors and would easily abduct them capturing their Souls.
Come to think of it bring in the Master, the apprentice as well as his temporary apprentice. We need to discuss about this human and if they know anything about him, we might have clue on who he was. Inform them as soon as possible!”
Nightmare nods turning back into slime and leaving the area to find where they are while Dream is with Murder and Killer alone. Dream gets up from his throne walking down the stairs standing right in front of Murder.
Dream then looks at Killer announcing, “Me and Nightmare felt your anguish Killer and although Bête Noire is no longer alive you became weak, but I still have use for you.”
Dream then returns his gaze to Murder mentioning “If I had lost Insanity today you both would be dead where you stand, but luckily I also still have some use for you Murder.”
Murder then questioning Dream “And what would that be?”
Dream smiles explaining “I’m going to help you rectify your mistake. I want you to hunt down this human and whoever might be with him. Nightmare will help you to get wherever he will go next however, you will do this alone!”
Murder then shocked after hearing Dream’s statement, but Dream amused by his horror while Murder is looking directly back at him. Murder knew it is Dream’s spite for their failure and facing the human in his current state is nothing less than a death sentence.
Dream carries on “Only the strong survive you more than anyone understand that don’t you Murder? If you cannot slay whoever is with Krotos then I have no further use for you. I hope you can prove me wrong for your sake. You’re both dismissed!”
Killer and Murder exited walking along the dreary corridors with barely any light within the building. In the building normally screams of agony or acts of chaos would occur on a regular basis instead there is nothing, but silence as the shadows surround Killer and Murder.
Murder is walking slower and slower wondering if he even is going to stay consciousness before finding the human.
Killer interrupts the silence saying, “I doubt you’ll survive even if you went against the human in your condition you’ll end up as dust.”
Murder barely heard what Killer said but has an inkling of what he meant as they both continue to walk down the corridor. Murder stumbles continuously using the wall as leverage only for Killer to give an apathetic look to Murder.
Killer adds on “By this point I’m wondering if the Boss is setting you up just to die. It is fun while it lasted Murder. Later.”
Killer walks off as he engulfed by the darkness leaving Murder behind as he sits lying down on the wall despising Killer. Murder is restless and deprived on energy although he hates to admit it Killer is right believing that he is set up to die.
Murder thought (“The moment I met you Killer I never liked you. Joining the human in their quest for genocide and if I weren’t confined to this damned place, you’d be dead where you stand.”)
Murder’s eyes become dull drifting in and out of consciousness about to fall asleep only to find Nightmare standing in front of him giving Murder a disappointed look. Murder did not care for Nightmare’s disapproval as liquid surrounds his bearings only for both skeletons to disappear.
Nightmare announces, “Last chance Murder.”
Murder assures himself (“This will be the death of me.”)
The dim light appears as four beings exit from it as they both see chestnut oak on the walls. Toriel, Chara, as well as Asgore look in front to find three people sitting on dark sofas near the fireplace.
Krotos walks on the wooden floor as slivers of sunlight shines in the building going past his new recruits. Krotos then turns to them extending a hand towards the people on the sofa while the fire in the fireplace crackles gently.
Krotos declares “First off I like to thank you for joining our cause and secondly these people are from Outertale who have decided to join in order to stop the destruction of the Multiverse.”
The tall skeleton resembling Papyrus stands up cheerfully wearing body armour dark as the night with bright glowing golden markings. The skeleton grandly stands tall as he is about to introduce himself.
The skeleton says “Hello. My name is Papyrus and I hope we can become good friends.”
The skeleton points to the human child that has starry blue jumper with silver specs sparkling from it, also with golden stripes as well as shorts. Chara notices that beside the lightly brown-haired human is a jetpack which slightly surprises them wondering why they have it in the first place.
Papyrus then changes the subject as he introduces the human “This is Frisk, and they are happy to help you in any way they can as they are a great friend.”
Frisk waves to them with a smile although they knew it was not the human that they were fighting they could not smile back. The fish humanoid scoffs at them disappointed that they would not smile back for Frisk.
The humanoid has a dark blue tank top with three golden diamonds from her neck to her waist. The redhead wears starry leggings with darker boots to match as she stands up looking towards the human specifically.
Papyrus is a bit worried what his friend is about to say, but he first he continues the introductions by stating “That is my friend Undyne as she is the Captain of the Royal Guard in our world.”
Undyne interrupts “Was Papyrus.”
Papyrus sighs in sadness looking down although he tried to stay positive. Frisk glares at Undyne as they hoped that she would at least be understanding about the feelings of her friend.
Undyne apologises “Sorry to bring down the mood. Anyway, what are your names by the way?”
Chara takes a step forward as they smile announcing “I’m Chara nice to meet you all.”
Asgore said “Greetings I’m Asgore and I hope we get along.”
Toriel adds “I’m Tori-”
Undyne interrupts again “No, no. I mean your nicknames. You live in another universe, and it has a name, so we can distinguish ourselves from people who look like us. You do know it right?”
Asgore and Toriel look at each other in confusion as well as Chara which Krotos sighs as Undyne did not give full context in the conversation.
Krotos explained “What Undyne is trying to say is that your universes have a name. It is what helps us identify which person who we talking to from a different universe. For example, Frisk, Papyrus, and Undyne are from the world Outertale.
Let us say Chara is another Frisk and I want to get Frisk from Outertale attention. In order for me to do this I have to say Outertale Frisk notifying who I am talking to and not bothering the other Frisk. It’s just to be polite however, do you understand?”
The three understood what Krotos has said, but unfortunately for them they do not know their universe’s name.
Krotos continued “Fortunately there is a device to know who you are, but all of you sit down we have much to discuss.”
Undyne sits back down on the sofa opposite to Outertale Papyrus and Frisk while Toriel sits next to them as Frisk moves their jetpack out of the way for Toriel. Chara and Asgore sit down beside Undyne on the sofa while Krotos sit down on the floor in front of the fire as he places a mechanical device on the wooden coffee table.
The device is circular as it starts floating in the air with thin circular projections created themselves. A line starts to form then starts to trace the face of Chara as they are intrigued on what the device is doing.
The device then displays four images facing all sides of the room showing the details to everyone.
The device shows ‘Data Completed. Chara from Storyshift is an individual who hates humanity that also lacks enthusiasm when patrolling in Snowdin forest. Despite their impulsive tendencies they can be empathetic as well as caring especially to their brother Asriel Dreemurr.
The human wears a green hoodie as well as blue jeans along with brown boots. Their distinct look is that Chara’s eyes bleed during battle using magic to create knife projectiles in order to harm their opponent. Chara is the Judge in that universe and will observe the human until they can no longer reset.’
Frisk starts to become afraid of Chara after realising that they hate humanity as Chara smiles weakly. Both Papyrus and Undyne stare at Chara with concern after that revelation.
A new line formed as it is scanning Toriel’s face and as it completes it scan the virtual screens refreshed with her information. Everyone hopes it is not as judgemental compared to Chara’s biography.
The device reveals ‘Toriel Dreemurr from Altertale is a caring individual who represents more of her original counterpart than Sans the skeleton. Although Toriel has the judge role she is kind and empathetic around people, but this can change if her brother Asgore Dreemurr is damaged or killed.
Toriel will target whoever has harmed her brother as she will use fire projectiles as well as a large skull with huge horns to protect herself from incoming attacks. Toriel is a tall goat humanoid having clothing coloured both violet and purple. Toriel has crimson eyes and white fur for her appearance as she keeps a keen eye on the human in their universe.’
Everyone is relieved that Toriel (including Toriel herself) did not have any hidden motives or desires that would complicate the situation. Toriel is confused about the device telling them that she is more like her original counterpart than Sans the skeleton as she did not understand the context.
Toriel questioned “Sorry I don’t mean to be rude, but what is your name human?”
Krotos soon realises that he did not properly introduce himself as Toriel pointed out.
Krotos apologising “You’re right. Where are my manners today? My name is Krotos I am human from the universe WiseTale which is branched to the original timeline.”
Toriel adds on “Well thank you Krotos, but I also have another question.”
Krotos assures Toriel “Speak your mind.”
Toriel asked “What did the device mean by me being more like my original counterpart than Sans?”
Krotos answered “I’ll simplify this as best as I can. In the Multiverse there is one universe that is the original while the rest are variations of that universe. The reason the device told you that is because Sans the one you all met is from original universe.
We call him Classic Sans as he originates from the original universe called Undertale the judge for the human’s entire journey. You, Chara, and Asgore are all variations of Sans with personality differences from your original counterparts. Does that make sense?”
Toriel nods however, Chara is wondering about their original counterpart and how they acted in that universe. Chara puts their hand up which catches the attention of Krotos.
Chara wonders “Krotos what is my brother and I like in that universe?”
Krotos looks at Chara with dismal reaction knowing that what he says will not cheer up the mood however, he will not dismiss the question.
Krotos replies “Chara you are not even alive in that universe. For your brother let us just say there are fates far worse than death. It’s a subject you don’t want to know too much about.”
Chara is downhearted after hearing that statement, but for Krotos there are more pressing matters at hand. Asgore puts his arm around Chara comforting the human as best they can. Chara apricates Asgore’s kind gesture then looking at Krotos.
Asgore states “Krotos I would like to know what threat we are going up against and how we should prepare.”
Krotos shortly questioning “Don’t you want to know where you’re from first?”
Asgore’s reply “It can wait.”
Krotos nods adding on “Then it’s time I bring a couple of guests before we continue. I will just be a minute before I be back then we will discuss what you are up against. See you in a moment.”
Krotos stands up teleporting out of the wooden cabin soon appearing in a cantina with stools and tables that occupy the building.
Two skeletons down the canteen sit on the wooden stools while eating on the wooden tables. Krotos soon sees the Horrortale skeleton brothers as Papyrus eats a bowl of spaghetti with cheese while Sans eat a hotdog.
Krotos walks down the chess like floor surrounded by brick walls with glass windows as the sun shines in the building. Both Papyrus and Sans turn to see Krotos walking towards them as they feel uncomfortable around him.
Krotos says “Enjoying your meal?”
Horror retorts “I was until you showed up.”
Horrortale Papyrus reacted “Brother!”
Krotos implies “I know both of you don’t trust me that I can understand, but I am not asking for your trust. All I need you to do is to help me to stop the destruction of the Multiverse and in return I’ll help your AU.”
Horror points out “Why should I? You captured my brother forced us to battle and you make a promise that I do not know you keep. Give me one good reason I should join you?”
Krotos explains “If you don’t then everyone you ever know will die whether you are on my or Nightmare’s side. CORE cannot save your people because they are too violent for them to be in the Omega Timeline. I can guarantee their safety however, that choice is up to you.”
Horror did not know what to think whether he should betray Krotos and escape with his brother with the assumption that he will get help from Nightmare or to cooperate with the human.
Horrortale Papyrus puts a hand on Horror’s shoulder saying “Brother I don’t where you been or what you have been doing, but if the human is speaking the truth, we can help everyone again. Although I do not know his true intentions at least we can provide for everyone back in the Underground.
All we have to do is listen for what the human has to say then we can decide what to do. What do you think?”
Horror after some thought agrees stating “Alright. What do you want us to do?”
Krotos declares “Take my hand and I will show you.”
Horror and Horrortale Papyrus stands up walking to Krotos while he crosses his arms extending both of his hands towards them. Horrortale Papyrus accepts his right-hand handshake while Horror hesitated however, he soon accepts his left-hand handshake engulfed in a mist of smoke.
During the time that Krotos has been away Undyne closes her eyes sighing as Papyrus wonders what is on her mind. Undyne crosses her arms and legs leaning back on the sofa while both Papyrus and Frisk clearly see that something is bothering her.
Papyrus questioned “What’s the matter Undyne?”
Undyne groans replying “I don’t like this. I don’t like this one bit.”
Chara looks at Undyne asking “Why?”
Undyne opening her eyes as her gaze is on Chara explaining “Before you met Krotos he tried to destroy my entire world, but luckily he sparred us although for absurd reasons. The next time I saw him is when I was fighting off three Sans lookalikes.
We decided to work together however, we escaped leaving my world behind. Krotos offered me to join him which I reluctantly did, but I did not forget what all he has done to me and my friends.”
Asgore curious then questioning “Why did he change his mind?”
Undyne swiftly answering “To find someone I believe, but my advice is to not trust him. That human is dangerous and will not stop at nothing until he gets what he wants. I do not know what promises he made with you but trust me when I say this. Do not believe him no matter what he says.”
Undyne’s words pierced the minds of everyone around her as she suspects that there is a hidden motive behind the actions of Krotos. The Outertale residents are extremely aware how sinister Krotos can be.
However, everyone wonders what dark lingering thoughts that they assume plague the thoughts from the human who is from WiseTale. The possibilities of what he will do are unknown as they question does, he wants to protect the Multiverse or to conquer the Multiverse itself?
The silence shattered as smoke suddenly appears in front of the fire as Krotos appears back in the wooden cabin. Everyone stares Krotos with uncertainty wondering what he wants from them however, the mist fades away revealing two monsters to everyone’s terror except Krotos.
The Horrortale skeleton brothers are beside Krotos as Undyne, Papyrus, Chara, Toriel and Asgore stands up about to threaten them. Undyne summons her spear, Chara summons her blood red knife, Asgore summons his trident, Toriel summons flames in her hands, and finally Papyrus summons a bone in his hand standing beside Toriel to protect Frisk.
Undyne points the spear to Horror while Krotos puts his hand up before Undyne could strike. Both Krotos and Undyne stare at each other intensely however, everyone else (excluding the Horrortale skeleton brothers) is surprised that Krotos would bring one of foes.
Undyne questioned in a demanding tone “What the hell is he doing here?!?”
Krotos answers “Horror is essential for what is about to come, and I need to ask you to stand down.”
Chara retorted “Why the hell are you protecting him?!? He was trying to kill us before and he is part of the group that killed Sans!!! No way in hell I’m standing down!!!”
Undyne smirked for a second however, regains her frown as Chara points at Horrortale Papyrus which Horror starts to think about summoning his weapon. Krotos turns his head looking at Horror shaking his head to notify him that is a bad idea.
Krotos turns back to Undyne explaining “Horror is here because we made a deal that he would help us, and I would not harm his brother. If Horror decides to betray us neither him nor his brother will see another day again.
In exchange I would help his AU and their residents from starvation, but I need everyone’s cooperation in this. I know what he has done however, I do not need his trust just that he can help us overcome our enemies.
If we do not help each other there will be no Multiverse left just a kingdom of agony and suffering. Do you want everyone else to suffer or are we going to make a stand? The choice is yours.”
Toriel and Asgore look at each other not sure whether to go along with Krotos or not. Chara and Undyne did not yield still carrying their weapons pointing at the Horrortale brothers. Outertale Papyrus and Frisk look at each other concerned, but they resolve the situation by deciding to calm everyone down.
Papyrus says “Undyne. I understand where you are coming from, but there are others that need our help. If they are willing to help us, we should at least give them a chance however, fighting will not solve anything at all!”
Outertale Frisk nods as they stood up looking at Undyne as she looks back. Undyne grunts reluctantly retracting her spear unsummoning it while Asgore and Toriel hesitant at first also decide to stand down. Chara did not as they look at Horrortale Papyrus wondering what he wants.
Chara asked “tell me! What do you want from all of this?”
Horrortale Papyrus answering honestly “I just want to help everyone. If this human is telling the truth, then I can save my brother, my friends, and the Underground. Even if there is not a chance that I save everyone at the very least I want my brother back.”
Horror speaks aloud “Papyrus…”
Krotos looking at Chara questioning “Anything else you want to say Chara?”
Chara sighs unsummoning their blade shortly looking back at Krotos with their crimson eyes. Krotos stares back at their gaze with his mixture of sunset as well as violet eyes.
Chara said. “No.”
Krotos announces “Then it’s time.”
Krotos collects his electronic device in the air then snapping his fingers echoing the room as they disappear from the cabin reappearing in a grand hallway. The room is lighted in sunset and dark flames as one large circular table as it is in the middle of the room.
Everyone stands near the entrance to a gigantic wooden door as Krotos walks towards the table as light reflected dimly upon them. The Horrortale skeleton brothers stated walking towards Krotos then everyone else did as they look upon them with uncertainty.
Everyone (excluding Krotos) looks around the hallway seeing a transparent ceiling as a shining eclipse that clouds as well as stars are stuck in place. Krotos then throws his electronic device flying halfway past the table until it immediately stops floating upright in mid-air. Krotos turns towards everyone behind him extending an arm towards the table.
Krotos suggests “Please take a seat.”
The table has more seats than people, but the Horrortale brother took the far east of the table while the rest except Krotos takes the far east. Krotos decided to sit down at the south of the table as everyone looks at him.
As everyone sits down Krotos declares “If you are going against the people, you should at least know who and what they are. Any questions before we start?”
No one asked any questions.
Krotos continued “Then let us proceed.”
During the meeting as Dream looks down at his throne patiently waiting for his guests to arrive. The door opens as three monsters enters the throne room as Dream stands up greeting them.
The monster standing up front and centre wearing a long white coat with dark blue markings. The monster is tall as he is barely higher than a six-foot person as he also wears a charcoal shirt as well as trousers.
The monster has white socks and slippers as his skull is similar to Sans the skeleton. The being has a white eye on the left side of his skull socket while the right side is blue. There are blue markings below his eye sockets with blue teeth to match.
Back in the grand hall as their electronic device displays the tall, marked monster in a hologram. The monster slowly rotates clockwise as everyone look at another Sans lookalike.
Krotos narrates “From what I’ve gathered this is the skeleton named Error404 one of the leaders and a grave threat to the Multiverse itself. Do not confront this being under any circumstances as he is almost invincible.
404 has mastered the blue attack as he can completely manipulate an object physically or mentally. 404 can alter minds to bend to his will and with powerful blasters and rays that can destroy anything, it is astonishing in it itself.
Unfortunately, this being also has transformations that can multiply his power to the extreme although it may cause his death. I’ll be honest he will not be easy to defeat.”
Asgore stated “If he is invincible as you say then what hope do, we have for stopping him?”
Krotos assures Asgore “Leave that to me. 404 has an extensive knowledge about the Multiverse and if did not learn this from CORE then we would have been heavily unprepared.”
Chara adds on “What makes you so certain that we can defeat him?”
Krotos chuckles saying “Oh I’m not sure that I can, but even so I doubt he will even know who I am. The worst part is that he is not the worst one yet, so let us move on shall we.”
Back in the throne room beside Error404 on his left is a skeleton shorter than him. The skeleton has a black skull as he wears black slippers and a dark coat with a blue hood. The skeleton wears black and red fingerless gloves as well as black shorts. Lastly, he wears a bright blue scarf below his skull.
The skeleton has red eye sockets with pale blue markings below extending down to his golden teeth. In his left eye he has both a blue and golden eyes while his right is just golden. The skeleton’s clothing stitched together with blue strings as his expression shows his discomfort.
In the grand hall Krotos continues to narrate while the hologram changes to the shorter skeleton “This one is the apprentice to 404 named Error!Sans. Although not as powerful as 404 he is still extremely dangerous.
Error!Sans has the power to destroy AUs and shatter Souls with the mere flick of his hand, so I advise you not to enwrapped by his strings otherwise it will not end pleasantly. Like any other Sans he has blasters and bones however, he is quite immature.
Both 404 and Error are immortal beings, but 404 has a soft spot for Error. This shows that they are not invulnerable however, despite 404’s stranger affection for Error I warn you to never underestimate them. If you come in contact with Error flee if you can but stun him if you must so that you can survive. Moving on.”
In the throne room once again to the right of 404 is a Sans that is similar in appearance to Killer. The skeleton slightly taller than Error has a red hoodie with a white hood along with charcoal shorts with grey stripes.
The skeleton has a white shirt as well as slippers however, he has black markings below his eye sockets. In his right eye socket, he has a bright blue eye and like Horror his skull is damaged as it is visible to see.
Once again in the grand hallway the image of that skeleton appears via the hologram. Everyone except Krotos and the Horrortale brothers dread to hear what he has to say.
Krotos continuing to narrate “This is LV a skeleton similar to Killer however, he is much more powerful than you can possibly imagine. LV is mortal yet he can fuse with other monsters to multiply their power than what you can all possibly imagine.
LV has all the abilities of an Error including that he can heal himself and has incredible flexibility. If any of you face him be fast and deadly for every second that he lives the longer your defeat will be certain. Now for the rest of the group.”
In the throne room once again, Dream walks down the short staircase greeting his guests. Error scoffs not wanting to be there in the first place however, Dream ignores his scoff.
Dream said. “404, Error, LV, it’s so nice for you to join me.”
Error asks coldly “What’s this about? I don’t have time for your games Dream!”
Error404 looking at Error responding for Dream “Now, now Error. Dream would not have called us unless it was important however, I doubt it is something that I would not already know.”
Dream clarifies “To be fair I only learned this recently myself, but I have a bug that I need you to squash. I need all three of you just in case, but it will help us out in the long run. Before you do let Nightmare and Murder take care of it first and if they fail, I’ll let you handle the mess Murder has created.”
LV spoke “A bit excessive for only one person. Who are they?”
Dream’s response “We have encountered this human before, but now I got his name. The human’s name is Krotos as he has purple and orange eyes or at least from what I’ve heard.”
LV has no idea who this person is and neither did 404 to his silent surprise however, Error slightly gasps as all eyes are on him. 404 is particularly interested since Error knows the subject that Dream is talking about.
Error404 questions Error “That’s not the reaction I would expect from you Error. How is that you know something that I don’t?”
Dream added on “Well isn’t everyone full of surprises today. Who is the person to you?”
Error retorted “None of your damn business!”
Dream and 404 did not take that response well as they are both agitated from what Error has said.
Dream warns Error “Error I do not care for how you speak to me however, if you are withholding information that I need. I will use whatever method to make you talk!”
Error404 replying “Easy now. I would not want you to make a big mistake that you will regret later on Dream.”
Error spouts “I don’t need your protection!”
Error404 answers back “That does not mean you’re free from consequences Error. I too would like to hear this and we will no longer bother you about the subject. Now what do you say?”
Error begrudging sighs as he rather would like to end this meeting quickly than to drag it out, so in the end he decides to let on what he is keeping.
Error declared “Krotos used to be a friend of my apprentice Abomination Zero before they both disappeared. Krotos unlike my apprentice successfully destroyed an AU, but after they went to Outertale I never saw them again.”
Error404 mentions “An apprentice? Are you planning to overthrow me?”
Error answered “I don’t care about the Multiverse I just needed to do it faster. If they did not disappear, I would have replaced Abomination Zero with Krotos as I could control him due to his soft spot for children.”
LV says out loud “You really are just an asshole, aren’t you?”
Error speaks harshly “What was that?!”
Dream demanded “Enough! If this human has the powers of an Error and is mastering the arts of magic around the Multiverse, then he could pose a threat to our Kingdom.”
Error404 replied back “I doubt he would even be a challenge to me however, I find it unusual that I have not heard of him before. What AU he is from?”
Dream answering, “No idea I thought Error knew.”
Error clarified “No even I don’t know the human’s AU. I doubt even the human knows; however, it will not get us closer to finding him.”
Dream turns his back to them walking up the stairs to his throne demanding “Erase this human if Murder fails to exterminate him which I doubt even he would survive the outcome. After that we can focus on conquering the Multiverse once and for all then we’ll turn our attention to Ink and X-Gaster. Good luck not that you’ll need it.”
LV, 404, and Error leave the throne room as Dream sits down on his throne as the thought of a mere human could pose such an annoyance to his plans. Dream doubts that the human could even harm him, but he needs to be eradicated as soon as possible.
Meanwhile in the Grand hallway two images are shown on the hologram on of Insanity and the other a Papyrus lookalike with a sharp bone in his head. Everyone on that table has seen Insanity and his malicious tendencies.
Krotos adding on “You all know Insanity or Insane Sans hard to kill and is one of the strongest Sans in the entirety in the Multiverse in raw power alone.
However, his brother from another universe rivals his raw power and together they are a deadly force. Split them up and have someone else there with you since my advice is to not face these beings alone.”
The next image is of Shattered Dream and Nightmare Sans displaying their slimy appearance while Dream is holding a bow in his hand. Nightmare’s image in the other shows multiple appendages from his body with a malicious expression.
Krotos carries on “These are the brothers from Dreamtale once protectors, but now malevolent forces in the Multiverse. These monsters are also leaders of this group as they want to bring Armageddon to the Multiverse, so that they can feed their never-ending hunger for negativity.
Those beings are powered by negative emotions as they can manipulate people mentally or physically. Nightmare the one with the cyan outline uses appendages that can extend to annihilate his opponents.
Dream on the other hand prefers to use his bow a swifter weapon that can harm opponents at large distances. They can shapeshift, use mind manipulating, and lastly they can teleport from AU to AU at will.”
Horror comments “My former Bosses are immortal, but they can be harmed using positive emotions however since Dream is on their side, I doubt we can even stop them.”
Krotos assuring everyone around him “They’re not invulnerable although you all cannot use positive emotions to damage them you can still disperse their bodies even though they will regenerate shortly. It will at least give you time to escape if you ever encounter them.”
A new image appears showing Killer and another monster with a black hoodie with a grey hood as well as a broken purple heart in the middle. Another Sans lookalike holding a bat in his hand, but everyone in that room know who Killer is.
Krotos simplifies “I’ll make this quick. Killer uses his knife and bones for his attacks only using his Gaster Blaster as a powerful Special attack to end his opponents. Despite Killer’s power he is one of the weaker servants in Dream’s empire.
The other one with the bat is Scoundrel Sans coming from a world where it is steal or be stolen. Like Killer not that powerful, but still a troublesome fellow. He uses a bat and a gun, so just be weary of that.”
The image changes again showing another Sans lookalike with a long black coat with golden suit and black trousers as well as formal shoes. The other is a disturbing sight as it appears a Classic Sans and Papyrus melded together as everyone can figure out it is an Amalgamation.
Krotos notifying everyone “The one that looks like Sans and Papyrus is called Six Bones an amalgamation with attacks that no one can predict since it changes in the strangest of times. Do not get hit by their attacks by any means.
The one with the golden suit is Bill Cipher Sans a monster in contract with Dream to help create the Armageddon for their amusement. Bill is a master of manipulation in every area of magic and reality only an extremely determined can face that creature.”
Undyne interrupts “Then he is mine!”
Everyone is surprised by Undyne’s comment, but Krotos is then asking “Are you sure? He is just as powerful as 404 and there is no guarantee you will survive.”
Undyne responding “you said only the most determined can face him and I never back down from a challenge. As you said if no one stands up to them then who will?”
Krotos decides “Very well then. I will let you face Bill Cipher, but we still need more people before we can face them.”
Outertale Papyrus adding on to Undyne “Then I’ll help Undyne as well.”
Krotos stops Papyrus by saying “I’m afraid not Papyrus. We are lacking the people to stop them, so most of your battles will have to be alone. I’m sorry but we mostly have to face them one on one.”
Outertale Papyrus mumbles “But…”
Undyne responding “Don’t worry Papyrus it is me we are talking about. I’ll come back stronger than ever before.”
Outertale Papyrus hesitates, but then is assured by Undyne’s resolve replying “Okay Undyne, but if you need any help don’t be afraid to ask it.”
Undyne’s reply “I’ll be fine, but thanks for the offer.”
Krotos shortly suggested “Let us go back to the subject at hand.”
A new image appears showing two more figures as one is another Sans lookalike wearing dark robes with a giant X in the middle holding a paintbrush as the image show his soulless eyes. The other a tall skeleton wearing dark violet robes with circular X like eyes with a devilish smile.
Krotos added on “The one with the paintbrush is Ink a former protector of the Multiverse but now works with the one next to him. Before we get to that Ink uses his paintbrush to create anything he wants as long he paints his opponent. It can end a number of ways depending on what he wants to do. All I say is to avoid being attacked by his paintbrush by all costs.
Lastly the tall skeleton is X-Gaster and probably the most dangerous out of the lot. X-Gaster isn’t particularly powerful in combat however, he has one ability that completely dwarfs everyone else’s abilities. X-Gaster has the power of Overwrite an ability that recreate an entire area, people, or whatever you can think of to his design.
I will face X-Gaster alone.”
Horror commented “The mad scientist? What makes you think that he and Ink will be interested in any of this?”
Krotos answered “Because I am being hunted by them. I am unintentionally one of his experiments since I possess Nightmare’s manufactured Soul. I just need them in one location than the rest is history.”
Horror stated “You’re mad and I’m the one with the broken skull. You are going to find 404, Ink, Dream, Nightmare, and X-Gaster in one particular spot and do what?”
Krotos announced “Once they get here it is already over before they even know it. I have full confidence that we can win despite all the odds against us. Not all of you will survive I will admit, but isn’t that better than no one?”
Everyone is quiet as silence fills the hallway as the flames lose their light darkening the room. Everyone except Krotos does not know how he will succeed just going by his word which annoyed Undyne to a great extent.
Undyne stands up demanding “Krotos I want to tell you something privately!”
Krotos requests “Sure, but I need Chara shortly after, so do you mind I bring them along as well?”
Undyne responds “I have no problems with that.”
Krotos as well as Chara stands up.
Krotos starts walking towards the giant wooden door as both Chara and Undyne follow him. Krotos as he reaches the door pushes it open revealing a forest with crimson leaves and sunset rain stuck in mid-air all around them. Chara and Undyne are slightly spooked at what they are seeing.
Krotos continues to walk on as Undyne shortly follows suit as well as Chara while the rest exit their chairs seeing the unusual sight. As Krotos, Undyne and Chara walks away from the group reaching a sunset-coloured riverside he stopped turning towards them.
Krotos questioning “What do you want to know?”
Undyne specifically states “What’s this all about? First you bring Horror and his brother, second you tell us about the beings that are impossible to defeat as well as giving your word that you can defeat him.
I remember everything you’ve done before and we could barely stand up to Horror, Killer, and the… other one. How do we know you are telling the truth with promises that are hard to believe?”
Chara continues as they add on “Undyne’s right all we heard is your word, but nothing that can help us to win other than you say you can. What is your game plan?”
Krotos sighs saying “What I have in mind is to stop them by any means necessary even if that means I as well as you have to sacrifice ourselves for it.
I cannot guarantee this will work either since we are running out of time, but for the plan itself I just cannot say. The reason for that is if that any one of you is turned to their side then all that I have done here will be the end for all of us.
I apologise, but I cannot say and even if you don’t trust me, we are the last line of defence for the Multiverse. I may not convince you for anything that I have to say but are you with me or not on this and I will be saying for the last time.”
Chara and Undyne nod as they are willing to save the Multiverse although they do not trust Krotos. After they nodded Krotos extends a hand to Chara as they look at him with confusion.
Krotos asks “I need your help if we are going to get are next recruit. I believe it will be easier if he meets you. Time is running out Chara and I do not have much patience for these trying times. Will you help me?”
Chara hesitates, but then accepts the handshake as both of them disappear as Undyne is left by herself. With nothing else to do she walks around the forest exploring an unusual world that time has entirely stopped.
The golden floor walls and floors reappear once again as light shines through the glass. One monster waits in the Corridor with blue jeans wearing a lime jacket as his rainbow-coloured scarf covers his neck. The monster has fur as he is a goat humanoid as he waits with shaken resolve.
Suddenly mist appears in front of him as he summons a sword in his hand soon seeing a being towering him in a large charcoal coat. The monster child looks at his sunset and starry eyes as the person stares back at him.
Krotos introducing himself “Hello there. I am Krotos one of the last protectors of the Multiverse and I need your help young one.”
The young child questions “What do… What do you want human?”
Krotos responds “I just need your help to protect the Multiverse but let me show you someone first.”
Krotos points behind him in the mist as the young goat looks behind him as a figure appears out of the smoke to his surprise. Chara emerges out of the mist and is shocked to see what is in front of them
The young goat speaks first “C-Chara?!?”
Chara gasps as they said out loud “Asriel?!?”
Asriel is overjoyed as he rushes past Krotos hugging Chara. An arm is placed around Asriel as Chara hugs back however, they soon realise that Krotos wants Asriel to join him as well. Chara stares at Krotos with anger and shock.
Chara spoke “You wouldn’t…”
Krotos interrupted “I need every hand that I can get. Your brother included.”
Asriel still hugging Chara tightly as he did not hear a word from the short conversation between Chara and Krotos. Asriel cries glad that Chara is alive and well.
Asriel while he is crying is saying “I… I thought you died when you… saved me back then. I’m just glad you are alright.”
Chara blurts out “Died?”
Krotos informs Chara “This is a disbelief timeline where the judge sacrifices themselves to save the Royal Guard trainee in this case…”
Chara soon realises what Krotos is conveying as he hinted that Chara themselves died in order to protect Asriel in this timeline. Chara in the here and now would protect Asriel at any cost whatever means necessary as they too are glad to see their brother again.
As Chara and Asriel continue to hug a huge crack is heard under them. Krotos soon realises that floor is cracked as he instinctively grabs both Asriel and Chara throwing them behind him. Bones pierced through the floor as it almost grazes the face of Krotos.
A grunt is heard further down the corridor as Krotos looks through the bones to see two figures that are all too familiar for him. It is Nightmare and Murder Sans.
Krotos stares intensely them as Nightmare gives a disappointing look to Murder as he sighs in discomfort. Krotos notices that Murder is still injured and has not recovered from his injuries during their last battle.
Nightmare scoffing “Well done you failed to eliminate his accomplices Murder. If you cannot do one simple task swiftly then you are on your own. Prove to us that you can eliminate this human and then you can join us once you are finished.”
Nightmare exits the universe observing from outside to see the downfall of Murder Sans. Krotos shortly realises that Murder is sent here to die by his hand while both Asriel and Chara get up from the floor soon realising there is another person in the corridor.
Chara then realises Murder is in the room as they summon a blade ready to battle the skeleton without any mercy. Asriel puts an arm on their shoulder not wanting Chara to fight and funnily enough Krotos has the same thought.
Krotos apologises “Sorry Chara, but I can’t let you fight yet.”
Krotos snaps his fingers as mist surrounds both Asriel and Chara as they exit the universe appearing in the Grand Hallway. Krotos meanwhile looks at Murder seeing his injured state.
Dream in his throne room also watches Murder and what the human will do to one of his subjects. Krotos smirks then looks at Dream as he is watching him from afar.
Dream is shocked that somehow Krotos can see him but regains his composure wondering what he is about to do. Krotos once again clicks his fingers as smoke surrounds the corridor as neither Dream nor Nightmare could see either Krotos or Murder.
Dream scoffs while Nightmare decides to get back in the universe however, he could not. Nightmare tries to get in the universe, but a barrier phases him out from entering. Annoyed he tries to his use appendages to force his way through, but no matter what he tried he could not back in.
Nightmare reluctantly then waits to see whether Krotos or Murder will come out of that universe alive. Dream stands up from his throne looking above wondering what that human is up to.
Murder could clearly see Krotos, but he can no longer see everything else around him except smoke that surrounded him. The piercing eyes of the sun as well as night stare down the dull crimson eyes of Murder.
Thoughts race through Murder’s head as pain he could feel pain throughout his body. Murder could not think properly only wondering if he is going to pass out or die by the human’s hand.
Krotos summons a fireball in his hand and launches it at Murder as in slow motion he could see it coming towards him. Murder no longer cares to continue the massacre as time slows down for him to witness his death.
Murder sighs closing his eye sockets embracing death becoming apathetic and irresolute no longer wanting to continue as he would rather just let it all end. Suddenly as the flame strikes him down his health recovered as all injuries are treated opening his eyes with surprise.
Murder looks down at his jacket to no longer find a trace of his injuries as he then looks back at Krotos asking the question in his mind is that why did he heal him? Murder could not believe it that his enemy would show sympathy for him even though he knows Murder’s past.
Krotos questioning “What’s the matter? You look a little bit shell shocked.”
Murder staring at Krotos finally asks “Why? Why did you help me heal my injuries?”
Krotos chuckles responding “You are left to die here by my hand since that much is obvious. Your leaders abandoned you because you’re no longer useful to them. Murder you may not believe me, but I’m here to help you.”
Murder continues asking “Why would you help me? I murdered everyone I loved. My friends, my family, everyone, so why? Why help me in the first place?”
Krotos answers “Because I been where you are. Alone, trapped, forgotten. I want to save the Multiverse, so that I can fix the mistakes that I have made back then however, I cannot do that alone.
We all make mistakes Sans even those that cost us our lives no matter in what shape or form, but as long as we can better ourselves in the future is that not a life worth living?”
Murder hesitates not knowing what Krotos wants yet understands him so much that even he is talking to someone he knew all those years ago. Krotos smiles, but not one for intimidation neither to inspire fear in Murder.
Krotos continues “After all I would not abandon you my old friend even though you are not the original. I think it’s time to leave everything else behind and at least a create future for everyone else even if neither of us sees that future.”
Murder looks at Krotos wondering whether he should attack him and to go back to Dream and Nightmare or to give up. Murder chuckles remembering everything from the pacifist to the genocide timelines.
All his friends and foes are still important to him even after all he has been through. For once he just wanted to find peace in himself no matter what he has to do. In the end he still cared even though he thought it no longer mattered to him.
Murder just wanted to live to be around his family and friends. Murder wanted the human to save them or for them to not be there at all, so he can live the rest of his days. A monster like him should be burning in hell after what all he has done.
Murder says “It’s a beautiful day outside. Birds are singing… Flowers are blooming… On days like these monsters like us… Should be burning in hell.”
The response of Krotos “Maybe. We both had a bad time my friend, but in my opinion, I would say… It’s a beautiful night outside. Stars are shining… Comets are firing… On nights like these monsters like you… Should be resting in peace.”
Murder adding on “Maybe in pieces yes.”
They both chuckle at the bad joke as Murder lightens the mood. Krotos looks at Murder with joy pleased that he has made a joke after all his life.
Krotos mentions “That was good. You are quite the comedian Sans. I think it’s time we move along don’t you think.”
Murder sighs “Yeah. I just had enough for once. If you can promise me that I can live again then I’ll stand with you.”
Krotos promises “You have my word.”
Murder walks up to Krotos as he is then putting an arm around him as they both are engulfed in the mist. Nightmare could finally enter the universe as he appears back in the sunny corridor only to find no one there.
No signs of dust or blood and he could feel the presence of neither the human nor Murder. In a fit of rage Murder screeches infuriated that he lost another one of his subjects.
Dream appears behind Nightmare crossing his arms as Nightmare turns around to meet him. They are both displeased however, they know how manipulative this human can be and can no longer turn a blind eye to him.
Nightmare announces “I could not enter the universe it was locked somehow. I should have killed them when I had the chance!”
Dream stated “That settles it then. This human is a threat to our foundation, and I can no longer afford to lose anymore people in our Kingdom. The next time we spot him we must eliminate him immediately. Do you understand that?”
Dream looks behind him talking to LV, Error, and Error404. They understood their objective loud and clear although they did not take the human seriously all except for Error!Sans. Error404 cannot wait to meet the human.
Error404 declaring “I heard you loud and clear before, but now I’m interested. This human is a mystery as for all the knowledge I have about the Multiverse this one I have no idea about.
Don’t worry once I find him, he will be dealt with, but I must know what he wants before he either dies or I make him my slave. This will be fun!”
Chapter 4: Nigh
Summary:
(Part 3 of the original story)
Chapter Text
A gust of mist spreads across the stone pavement as both Krotos and Murder see skyscrapers that was taller than the sky itself. Murder looks around surprised to see an AU unusual then what he has come across on his journey.
Murder says, “What is this place?”
Krotos responding “This is an AU that I own. It is stuck in time and shattered across space. It is a world where everything exists, every AU, every area, every item, every world. Misplaced in one key moment, in one area, in one universe.
Now imagine a world where no one exists, not a single life form. Everyone you know, everyone you hate, everyone you love does and everyone else included is erased from existence.
A world everything exists except without you. Or anyone in that matter. The thought of that terrifies me, does it not terrify you my old friend?”
Murder gives a concerned look at Krotos mentioning “That’s a way to bring down the mood.”
Krotos apologised “Sorry just had to get in character for a minute, but I’m not here just to say that. It’s a good thing I brought him here is it not Papyrus?”
Suddenly standing in front of Murder is Dustbelief Papyrus wrapped in strings as his head looks down upon the floor. Murder steps back as Papyrus shortly tilts his head up for him to see his brother again.
Papyrus aloud said “Sans?”
Murder did not say anything back only staring at Krotos wondering what he is trying to communicate. Krotos grabs the Violet strings releasing Dustbelief Papyrus from his confinement.
Neither Murder nor Dustbelief does not understand the motives of Krotos, but it did not matter to Papyrus. Dustbelief gets steps closer to Murder while he looks at Dustbelief not knowing what history they had between them.
In an instant Dustbelief hugs Murder as he is surprised as Krotos stands aside letting them have a moment. Dustbelief is simply happy to see his brother again hugging him tightly although Murder still does not share those feelings.
Dustbelief mentions “You don’t know how much I missed you Sans. I’m relieved you are all right.”
Murder’s response “Um… Yeah… you too Papyrus.”
As Dustbelief finished hugging his brother he turns his attention to Krotos as Murder did as well. The human meets their gaze as he knows why he released Papyrus from the violet strings.
Krotos conveyed “The reason I released you is that I need your cooperation for what is coming. As I said with the others I cannot guarantee your survival however, if you do survive, I will promise neither of you will see the human ever again.
In return I want both of you to face Nightmare and Dream since you two are the strongest amongst us. Although you can’t kill them you are the bust suited to stall them for as long as possible.”
Murder replied “You want us to go against our former bosses even though there’s no chance that we’ll win? Why don’t we kill the others first and then deal with the others later?”
Krotos responding “I wish it were that easy. The point of this battle is not to win, but to survive as long as possible. At worst, then I will help everyone escape if I am not already dead.
I need everyone’s attention diverted both in my and their team, so that I can achieve my goal and end the battle as quickly as possible. I need to face the being alone in order for the best possible outcome for everyone.”
Dustbelief questioned “What do you exactly want human?”
Krotos turns around answering “I want to save the Multiverse not because I just want to. There is so much to explore yet, so many others want to destroy this beautiful masterpiece for either destruction or the one perfect universe. Laughable if you ask me.
I need your help so that we can stop this senseless crusade of devastation and save what is left of the Multiverse. I say no more. No more… Do you not want all of this suffering to end?”
Both Murder and Dustbelief knows what it is like to lose everything as they both promised themselves no more no matter what it takes. They understand his motive as they all silently agree that enough is enough.
They both stand beside Krotos as they all look up at the eclipse as the skyscrapers reach for the stars and the clouds. They all wanted it to end as no words could describe what they have all been through.
Krotos breaks the silence “I guess you are standing with me then?”
Dustbelief stated “You’re right. All of this has to end one way or another although I do not entirely trust you human, I at least understand you. What do you say Sans?”
Murder declares “For the longest time now I never really knew where I stood, and I agree completely. No more! Just no more.”
Krotos agrees saying “Then it is settled then. I am glad that I am with you two again. Let us not waste any more time.”
Krotos snaps his fingers as the clouds descended upon them disappearing from the area and into the Grand hallway.
Krotos, Murder, and Dustbelief teleported into the Grand hallway looking at the circular table only to find no one there. The ginormous hologram still displayed Ink and X-Gaster as they turn clockwise around the table.
Krotos chuckles saying to himself “I am surprised it’s still operating.”
Krotos extends his hand out towards the device as it shuts down floating towards him until he grasped it in his hands. Krotos puts in his inside coat pocket. Turning around Krotos exits the Grand hallway as both Murder and Dustbelief follow suit.
They could all see everyone else fascinated with the surroundings in this peculiar world as well as Murder and Dustbelief. Footsteps is then heard behind Krotos as he once again turns around only to find a blade pressed on his neck.
Krotos sees Chara as Asriel is beside them about to stop what Chara is doing. Chara with their ruby eyes stare intensely as Krotos while he coldly stares back at them.
Chara spouted “Bastard!”
Asriel shouts “Chara, no!”
Asriel pushes Chara back as the Chara continues to stare at Krotos with a furious gaze as they unsummon their blade in order to not accidently hurt their brother.
Chara yells “What is it with you?!? Do you want us to fight, but then you decide for us not to? Now he is with us with some promise you made up!”
Chara points to Murder as Dustbelief is wondering whether to summon his swords to protect his brother. Murder did not blame Chara for their uncertainty about them.
Krotos replying “I needed you alive and if I did not step in you and your brother would be nothing more than ashes in the wind. Murder is on our side now and we do not have the time to argue any longer.”
Asriel added on “Chara I don’t know what you have against them, but he’s right. Krotos saved us and put us out of danger. Shouldn’t at least be a bit thankful for what he has done for us?”
Chara gasps biting on their lip as their brother is defending Krotos. Anger consumes them, but reluctantly for their brother they sigh letting it go even though they did not want to. Asriel turns around back to Krotos as they are bit nervous around him.
Asriel nervously say “Um… Thank you… Krotos.”
Krotos smiles giving his response “You are welcome Asriel.”
Everyone looks upon them as Undyne exits the trees standing beside Chara. Undyne looks at Murder although not pleased by his presence she believes it is the same case with Horror.
Undyne asked “They are with us then?”
Krotos nods as his reply is “Indeed however, I believe it’s not long now.”
Asriel questioning “Um… What is not long for now?”
Krotos announces to everyone “Before our confrontation. If you have anything to say before this war begins than I would say it now. This might be the last time before they all come here and there will not be another chance to speak to each other then.
I say this to all of you now because I doubt even half of us will survive including myself. This your last chance before everything begins, so say your piece now! The next time I will see you is on the battlefield and even though I doubt we will talk again. Farewell to all of you and whoever survives meet me when this is all finished then you can have your reward. Goodbye.”
Krotos disappears as smoke once again covers him only for him to disappear. Everyone has a feeling of dread that surrounds them as they can only hope to stand up to powers that are absolute.
Undyne sighs walking past both Murder and Dustbelief not wanting to be near them as she joins Outertale Papyrus and Outertale Frisk. Undyne shortly then picks Frisk up putting them above her shoulders as they all walk back into the forest.
Altertale Toriel as well as Asgore decides to join them leaving the Horrortale skeleton brothers as well as Murder and Dustbelief behind. As Toriel and Asgore catches up with the Outertale residents the skeletons decide to re-enter the Grand Hallway.
Murder as well as Dustbelief is covered in violet light as the fire cackles gently as they both walk together in silence. The Horrortale skeleton brothers are covered in flaming light as they walk together without a care in the world.
They all decide to sit on the furthest sides of the table as both Murder and Horror stare at each other with dark expressions. Dustbelief sitting beside Murder looks at Horrortale Papyrus a bit unnerved by his appearance. Despite that fact Horrortale Papyrus waves his hand greeting Dustbelief kindly while he nods back.
Horror shatters the silence “I was not expecting you to join us Murder. Did Dream and Nightmare finally had enough you and booted you out?”
Murder’s response “You could say that, but I think we both know that we cannot serve Nightmare nor Dream since they want get rid of everything we ever dreamed of.”
Horror nods replying, “Can’t argue with that mate, but I believe there are more pressing matters we need to discuss before this supposed war starts.”
Murder agreeing “Yes I believe you are right.”
Horror mentioned “Since we are all going to die and we cannot travel to AUs willingly then I suppose both me and my brother will go against Insanity Sans, so the others can have a chance.”
Murder tells Horror “Me and this Papyrus will go against Dream and Nightmare since I presume there is no one stronger than us.”
Horror’s reply “Are you challenging me Murder?”
Murder demanding Horror “Be serious!”
Horror says to him “Way to kill the mood, but you always do. That is your thing as you are clearly mad to go against both Nightmare and Dream alone. At least I have a chance against Insanity and even that is a suicide mission.”
Murder questioning Horror “Do you think you will survive?”
Horror honestly answers “No and to be perfectly honest I doubt any of us will survive. I would flee but there is nowhere to go and if somehow my brother manages to survive then that is all that counts.”
Horrortale Papyrus interrupts “You’re still going to be alive when all of this over Sans!”
Horror replying, “Thanks for your optimism, Papyrus.”
Dustbelief changes the subject stating “Ever I since first met this human his behaviour is peculiar. This human used to wear a grey tank top and shorts using hand to hand combat instead of magic.
Now though he is cold, calculating, confident as he used to be arrogant and prideful. I don’t know what caused this change, but he fights more cautiously relying upon magic rather than himself.”
Horror says aloud “You don’t say.”
Murder points out “Well Papyrus does have a point there as we both know that he prefers close combat or used to at least. Honestly, I am not surprised that he relies on magic entirely now than close quarters combat since it is much safer and less exhausting. I would do the same if I were in his position.”
Horror replied “Fair point. Despite that though we still have 404, LV, Error, Killer, Scoundrel, Six Bones, Ink, and Insane Papyrus. Outertale Undyne has taken Bill, but that just leave us with Outertale Papyrus and Frisk. Toriel as well as Asgore and now those kids.
We are still two people under which leads me to believe we might be facing more than one opponent. Question is who should face who in order to have a better chance of survival? Any ideas Murder?”
Murder gives his opinion “I believe the weak links in this team will be Outertale Frisk and Papyrus, so I suggest we keep them together in order for them to go against Killer. For Toriel and Asgore I believe it would be best if they go against Six Bones as well as Scoundrel.
I have reason to believe that those kids are slightly stronger than the rest excluding us. I think it would be best for them to go against Insane Papyrus since they probably will work best in a duo than separately.”
Horror states “Wow Murder what a way to send those kids to their deaths, but even so that still leaves 404, LV, Error, and Ink. I doubt we will have enough people when this all starts, so I think you I need to rethink this.”
Murder objects “No I don’t think so. If Krotos is certain about our victory, then he should have no problem facing the most powerful at the bunch even though it is a heavy disadvantage to him. After all he brought us here.”
Horror adding on “Krotos also wanted to face the mad scientist X-Gaster alone, so I believe he will be going against what I would say the most powerful beings in the Multiverse. Ink, Error, 404, X-Gaster, and LV I don’t think he has chance in hell that he could win.”
Murder pointed out “Who said that he needed to?”
Horror confused ask “What are you trying to say?”
Murder calmly answering “tell me Horror why else would he bring the most powerful beings in the entire Multiverse into one place? Whatever this AU is it must give an advantage to him or hinder against whom we are going.
Question is I do not know what so special about this AU. Everything is supernatural even to the point that breaks the fundamentals of magic in its entirety. Has he even told this AU’s name yet?”
Horror tells Murder “No, but I did hear him say once they get to this AU our victory is assured. I am paraphrasing here; however, I do not know what this AU can offer us or him in that matter. Whatever that maybe it does not change the situation all we can do is hope to survive.”
Silence spreads across the room as the fires then stopped in place as everyone in the Grand Hallway looked at the flames noticing all of the flames are stuck in place. This slightly rattles everyone wondering if anyone is about to attack them, but nobody is there.
Both Murder and Horror sigh in annoyance starting to get fed up how the world operates while Dustbelief looks at his surroundings keenly for anything that might ambush them. Horrortale Papyrus stays close to his brother if he needed to protect him from harm’s way.
Horror mentioned “I’ll tell the others soon, but I just need a few moments with my brother. See you around Murder and don’t get yourself killed!”
Murder’s reply “Farewell Horror and good luck as well.”
Horror said, “I’ll need it.”
Horrortale Papyrus and Horror leaves the table exiting the Grand Hallway while both Murder and Dustbelief stayed behind. Horrortale Papyrus waves to them goodbye before he fades in the distance alongside his brother.
Murder plants his face on the table crossing his arms in order for himself to get comfortable. Dustbelief looks at Murder soon realising that he has gone to sleep which ironically gives Dustbelief slight satisfaction as he smiles.
Dustbelief removes his dreary long coat and puts on Murder letting him rest comfortably. Dustbelief lies on his seat looking out for his brother by not leaving his side at all costs. Dustbelief promises to himself that he will protect Murder until his last breath.
Asriel and Chara went the opposite direction to everyone else since Chara wanted to spend all their time with Asriel then with anyone else. Asriel follows them only wondering what is going on as they go through the crimson forest.
Both Chara and Asriel soon come across an open field that is covered in snow. Chara continues to walk upon the field as they are worried in though while Asriel starts to get annoyed that Chara is not talking to him
Asriel yells “Chara would you stop and tell me what’s going!”
Chara stands still turning towards their brother with a worried expression as it starts to make Asriel concerned. The tension in the atmosphere is unsettling for both of them as sunset snowflakes fall from the sky.
Asriel declares “Chara I don’t know what’s going on and you have been acting strange ever since I met you. What are we doing here and why do you look so scared?”
Chara walks up to Asriel and hugs him, but they are shaking in fear as Asriel notices that their body is trembling. Asriel hugs back trying to calm down Chara however, it had insignificant effect.
Asriel says aloud “Chara…”
Chara’s response “Asriel whatever happens do not leave my side! I just got you back and I do not want them to… If anything happens to me then run no matter what.”
Asriel then puts his hands around Chara’s shoulder forcing the hug to end while Asriel looks directly at Chara seeing tears form in their eyes.
Asriel shouted “No!!! The last time you said is when you died, and I swore to myself I would not let that happen again ever! I will never abandon you never again! Just never!”
Asriel shortly then hugs Chara again not letting go as Chara hugs them back doing the same. Tears fall down from Chara’s cheek hoping Asriel would listen to them once.
Asriel shortly then understands that he is going to nothing out from Chara although it is frustrating for him, he also understands that they are afraid. Instinctively they both knew they would never again would leave each other no matter the outcome.
In the crimson forest along the sunset river Outertale Papyrus, Undyne, Altertale Toriel, Asgore walk gently on the blue grass while Frisk sits upon Undyne’s shoulders. Everyone is beside each other peacefully strolling the unnatural environment.
Asgore asking Toriel “What do you want when this is all over Ms. Dreemurr.”
Toriel’s reply “Please don’t call me that it’s just Toriel. Honestly, I just want to go home than anything else.”
Asgore stated “Fair enough and I bet you want see your world’s brother again, don’t you?”
Toriel’s question “Do you not want to go back and meet your sister again?”
Asgore’s answer “I do, but everything is happening so suddenly even I am struggling to keep up. I’m just worried that I might not be able to see my family or friends again and I believe it’s the same case with you.”
Toriel responded “You’re not wrong. If we can survive at least there is a chance we can go back home.”
Asgore declared “Then let’s do it together.”
Toriel mentions “Didn’t Krotos mention that we need to…”
Asgore interrupts “Honestly I think it’s best we stick as a team rather than apart. Besides, we have a better chance of survival that way although you are from another world you are still my sister.”
Toriel chuckles replying, “Then it looks like I need to look after my baby brother.”
Asgore laughs saying “Good one. Together then?”
Toriel simply states “Together.”
They both smiled as both Frisk and Papyrus smiled with them all except Undyne as she has been quiet through the journey. Papyrus knows when something is troubling her and is unusual that Undyne keeps it to herself rather than shouting it out on the top of her lungs.
Frisk puts both hands upon Undyne’s cheeks then kissing her forehead as Undyne is surprised. Undyne then smirks as life lightens back in her looking up at Frisk while they are looking down at her.
Undyne announces “Careful their punk otherwise I’ll get you down and hug you to death.”
Frisk replies that she can try.
Undyne then shortly picks Frisk down hugging them in mid-air in one arm while messing up their hair in the other as they both laugh with each other. Papyrus smiles apricating Frisk to lift Undyne’s spirits up which they successfully did.
As Undyne puts Frisk down they walk beside each other as they hold hands knowing they have one another. Papyrus puts his skeleton arm around Undyne’s shoulder as she does the same keeping the mood upbeat.
Both Asgore and Toriel smiles as they all travel through the crimson forest cherishing the time they have together before it all goes away. The eclipse shines it dim light upon them as the stars reflect in the sunset river along with the clouds.
Meanwhile the Horrortale skeleton brothers walk together in the crimson forest as they are surrounded by cabins and are soon covered in sunlight. They look up to see both the moon and sun in orbit far apart from each other seeing a clear blue sky.
Horror then enters the nearest cabin which luckily provided a mini kitchen with ingredients as well as cookbooks. Horrortale Papyrus joins Horror as he is soon delighted to see a kitchen with a variety of ingredients and tools.
Horrortale Papyrus inspects the kitchen reading a cookbook while Horror is near the fireplace as he collects logs from the basket. Horror puts the logs in the fireplace then shortly gets the matches from the basket picking the largest one he could find.
Horror sees newspapers on the coffee table as he gets the newspapers scrunching them up and then putting them in the fireplace along with the logs. Horror then lights the match placing it on the newspaper as the fire starts to burn.
The fire burns the newspaper then the logs as Horror sits down on the leather sofa watching the fire burn. Horrortale Papyrus on the other hand starts to cook spaghetti following the instructions to the letter getting sauces out and chopping the ingredients neatly.
Horror looks his brother glad so to see that he is happy as they can finally relax even if it is not for long. Horror missed the simple pleasures of life as he does not have to kill nor be ordered around by others. In that moment he felt relief as his heart is at peace.
Papyrus while he continues to chop the ingredients mentions to his brother “The spaghetti will take a while just so you know. If you can tell the others what you are doing first, then time go will go quicker and dinner will be ready.”
Horror’s say “Just give me a minute. It’s so relaxing…”
Papyrus retorted “I forget that you are still lazy at times Sans, but we do need to talk about what happened while you were away.”
Horror soon realises that he never got to talk about Papyrus when he left as he could no longer avoid the subject all together.
Horror’s response “There’s a lot you don’t know Papyrus. I wanted to go back, but I never got the chance to.”
Horrortale Papyrus shortly stating “Then tell me when you get back. I just want to know what happened to you.”
Horror’s reply “I know you do. Right then I’ll be back shortly.”
Horror stands up teleporting out of the cabin and reappearing near the Grand Hallway as he starts to walk in the direction where Asriel and Chara went. Travelling along the crimson forest he soon a field of snow as he looks upon Chara and Asriel looking up at the eclipse.
Horror then teleports in front them since he can directly see them in his view. Both Asriel and Chara are immediately shocked as Horror puts his hand up before Chara decides to summon their knife. They both stand as Asriel stands back while Chara firmly stood their ground.
Asriel asks “Please don’t do that!”
Horror responded “Sorry, I just need to tell you something.”
Chara harshly questions Horror “What is it?”
Horror answers “As I said before no harm in being nice.”
Chara retorted “We’re well beyond pleasantries. Just tell us why you are here!”
Horror’s retorts back “Maybe I won’t if you keep that up.”
Asriel steps in saying “Chara enough! Sorry they can be a bit harsh at times. What did you want to say?”
Horror says to Chara “See it’s not that hard.”
Chara scoffs staring into the Soul of Horror, but he does not flinch only turning his attention towards Asriel.
Horror continues “Thank you and I just came by to tell you that both are you are going against Insane Papyrus as a team.”
Chara tells Horror “No way!!!”
Horror’s response “Tell me why kid?”
Chara answered “There’s no way I put my brother against him. I know what Insanity is capable and if that Papyrus is just like him then there’s no way he is doing that.”
Horror’s question “So you would rather face Insane Papyrus alone than fight alongside your brother?”
Chara’s answer “Yes.”
Asriel objected “No! I told you that I am not leaving your side no matter what! I don’t care how dangerous whoever this person is as long I stay with you Chara.”
Chara said aloud “Asriel…”
Horror advised “If you asked me, I would keep your brother close. We are all going against someone, and I think it would be best to do it in duos rather than alone. Anyway, I just came by to tell you that, so see you never.”
Horror teleported back near the Grand Hallway while Chara sighs. In the snow field Asriel puts a hand on Chara’s shoulder trying to give comfort to them as well as assuring that they will not leave their side.
Horror then walks in the direction of where everyone else went going past the ruby forest once again only for him to walk by an amber river. Horror walks along it for a period of time eventually reaching everybody else as he then teleports in front of them as they stopped.
Undyne lets go of Frisk’s hand as Outertale Papyrus removes his arm as well as Undyne’s from their shoulders. Asgore and Toriel look intensely at Horror while Undyne takes a step forward looking at the damaged skeleton.
Undyne demanded “What did you want?”
Horror tells them “Just to give you a message. Your Papyrus and Frisk will go against Killer since he is the weakest among the group. Asgore and Toriel will go against Six Bones and Scoundrel while me and my brother will go against Insanity.
Chara and Asriel will battle Insane Papyrus as Murder and his Papyrus go against Dream and Nightmare. Krotos will fight the rest since we are low in numbers and cannot do this by ourselves. That is all I wanted to say now I would like to enjoy the rest of my time however, long that may be.”
Horror teleports back to the cabin where his brother is while Outertale Undyne sighs as Frisk holds their hand again trying to cheer her up again. Undyne picks Frisk up and hugs them as they hug back trying to comfort one another.
Outertale Papyrus joins the hug as Toriel and Asgore look at them as they all know the dreaded truth is that they are not all going to survive. Horror sighs as he sits back down on the leather sofa watching the fire burn.
Horrortale Papyrus realises Horror his back stating “Oh your back brother. Dinner is almost ready just give a few minutes.”
Horror’s reply “Thanks Papyrus.”
Horror continued to watch the fire as Horrortale Papyrus serves the spaghetti on two plates getting utensils as well. Papyrus brings their plates to the coffee table as he puts the utensils down.
Papyrus announced “Bone Appétit”
Horror chuckles which Horrortale Papyrus is confused at first, but then shortly figures it out planting his skeleton towards his skull. Papyrus grunts wishing they did not say that.
Horror replies “Come on that was a good joke.”
Horrortale Papyrus stated “No it was terrible! Anyway, aren’t you going to tell me what happened to you while you have been away?”
Horror sighs as they both get their plates and utensils starting to eat dinner. Horror is then surprised that what he is eating is edible from his brother as it is perfectly cooked and spiced very well with different ingredients.
Horror mentioned “Before we start you made a great Spaghetti Papyrus. I’m not joking it’s magnificent.”
Horrortale Papyrus answered back “Why thank you for I the Great Papyrus always impress anyone with my cooking.”
Horror continuing to eat his food questioned “So what do you want to know?”
Horrortale Papyrus says his question “The first time me and the human met he asked me did I know what you were doing while we you were away. That had me concerned for a while now, so what were you doing brother?”
Horror sighs revealing “Before we saw each other again I was working with Nightmare and Dream to conquer the entire Multiverse in exchange to bring food into my AU. I… I slaughtered many monsters and humans just in order so that I could protect my AU from their destruction since there was nothing more I could do.”
Horrortale Papyrus sighs shortly stating “Brother… I know it must have been hard being by yourself, but there must have been another way there always is.”
Horror then is asking “Would you rather let me abandon everything I knew for a team that I don’t know that they can even win?”
Horrortale Papyrus reminds Horror “It has never been about winning Horror. It was always about survival and helping others in need no matter how dire the situation was. I still remember when you gave your rations to help the village and I know you still care about doing the right thing.”
Horror told Papyrus “I rather keep you safe than worry about the fate of the Multiverse.”
Horrortale Papyrus responded “Then your bosses have certainly failed on that account otherwise I wouldn’t be here.”
Horror chuckles agreeing with Papyrus as he says “True.”
Horrortale Papyrus announced “Then let us do the right thing until the very end. When the time comes, we will save everyone, and we can finally reunite with everyone at home. That is something worth dying for at least.”
Horror warns Papyrus “Don’t go wishing your life away.”
Horrortale Papyrus replied “I plan not to.
The same goes for you brother!”
Horror’s response “I’ll try not to.”
Both Horror and Horrortale Papyrus finish with their meals as Papyrus collects the dishes putting them near the kitchen sink as he starts to get ready to wash up. Horror meanwhile stares upon the fire soothed by its gentle warmth as he soon falls comfortably asleep.
Horrortale Papyrus notices that Horror is resting deciding that he would need it as he starts washing the dishes with gleeful pleasure. They are both at peace as the cabin is calm as well as peaceful what the Horrortale skeleton brothers craved for all their lives.
Outside the unusual universe returning to the golden corridor as a skeleton resembles a Classic Papyrus as a blue hoodie is wrapped around his neck. Suddenly mist envelopes the corridor as Papyrus steps back in surprise.
Krotos appears in front of Papyrus as he looks upon the human with confusion. Krotos puts his arms behind his back looking at Papyrus with a calm demeanour as the mist disperses from the room.
Krotos declares “Papyrus I am Krotos one of the last protectors of the Multiverse. I need your help.”
Papyrus mentioning “First how do you know my name and secondly you need my help with what?”
Krotos answers “For your first question you will find out soon enough, but for your second question I just need your assistance.”
Papyrus tells the human “I’m sorry Krotos, but I can’t leave since the human needs assistance.”
Krotos announced to Papyrus “You mean Frisk. Papyrus no matter what you do they will stay determined to the end. You do know they will not stop?”
Papyrus firmly stands his ground replying “Even so I must try. Now if you would…”
Papyrus looks beyond the shoulder of Krotos as he gasps, but before Krotos could react he hears from Papyrus “Sans?”
A beam fires almost grazing the cheek of Krotos as it hits Papyrus disintegrating him as Krotos watches. Krotos immediately turns around and along the shining corridor he could see three skeleton Sans’s lookalikes.
In the middle he could see a skeleton wearing a long white coat with blue markings as well as black t-shirt and trousers. On that skeleton’s left is a familiar face as he has a black skull with blue markings that shaped like tears below his eye sockets.
The skeleton wears black clothing with the mixture of blue, red, and yellow. Finally on the right side is a skeleton resembling Killer, but with a red jacket instead.
The skeleton’s skull is damaged as he emanates a single blue eye. Krotos shortly then realises who is in his sights as the most powerful destroyers in the Multiverse have arrived. Error404, Error!Sans, and LV stare at Krotos as he gazes back with an intense glare.
Error404 says “Well, well, well. It’s about time I meet you Krotos.”
Krotos replied “If it isn’t Error404. I see you brought Error and LV as well. I’m not surprised Dream sent you three here after all you are here to eliminate me.”
Error404 responding “Glad we can get to the point.”
Error interrupted “Before we get started, I need to say something first. It’s been a long time Krotos.”
Before Error404 decides to battle he lets Error and Krotos catch up as he is interested to hear what they have to say. LV did not care but chooses to let them speak as he would rather not enemies with either of them.
Krotos answers back “It certainly has been Error.”
Error’s question “Where’s the kid?”
Krotos answering “Error!Frisk is safe, and you will never see them again!”
Error murmurs “Are they now?”
Error grunts staring at Krotos as they know he is being honest which meant that he will never see his apprentice again. Error is about to say another word, but Error404 walks towards Krotos as both Error and LV wonder what 404 is thinking.
Both Krotos and Error404 are in arm’s length of each other staring down one another as neither gives up their gaze. Light is reflected upon them as they did not flinch as their clothes shine.
Error404 asked “What makes you think that you can defeat me?”
Krotos answers honestly “Oh I don’t think I could, but I don’t need to.”
Error404 demanded “Then show me what you can do!”
As the two beings starred into each other a grey child is behind Krotos observing them as they sigh. CORE is about to witness the battle; however, they are interrupted by a voice in the Omega Timeline.
A voice spoke “What’s with the long sigh for?”
CORE turns around as are present in the Omega Timeline seeing Papyrus with his orange hoodie as well as the blue hoodie wrapped around his waist.
CORE states “UNDERSWAP Papyrus.”
Papyrus questioned “What’s with the long sigh? Has something happened?”
CORE’s answer “It’s more like something is going to happen. The fate of the Multiverse will be decided shortly, and I fear what is about to happen.”
Papyrus asks, “What will happen then? Armageddon?”
CORE’s reply “No something far worse than that. It will be a war that no one will see neither hear from them again. No matter what we do I cannot save them. All I can do is help the remaining citizens in the Multiverse and nothing more.”
Papyrus responds, “It was their choice.”
CORE’s statement “I’m not just talking about the last protector of the Multiverse and the others. I mean everyone.”
A silence struck as Papyrus realises that CORE no longer wanted to talk about the subject. Papyrus gets his cigar as well as his lighter as he decided to smoke which slightly puts off CORE.
As Papyrus had his cigar he mentions “I just met a kid which I first I was spooked, but they are actually quite heart-warming. The kid was also with a Sans lookalike with a science coat, and he looked a lot younger as well.”
CORE revealed “Do you mean Zerror and Science Sans?”
Papyrus asked “Is that their names? Well even so they are so many people that you have saved giving them new lives and homes. Remember without you we would not be here right now. Just know that you are not alone and if you need someone to talk to then you can always ask.”
CORE replied, “Thank you Papyrus.”
Papyrus said, “You’re welcome.”
Papyrus walks away returning to the village as CORE goes back to the Corridor seeing Krotos and Error404 stare down each other, but soon realises a crack forms below the feet of Krotos.
Krotos smirks teleporting past 404 just as bones pierced into the ceiling. Error404 turns around as he soon realises that LV summoned the bones from the ground as he scoffed since he missed his target. Error looks at LV, but soon is ambushed by Krotos as uses his hand to plant Error’s skull into the side of the wall.
Error is the concussed as he collapses to the floor while LV dashes towards Krotos trying to land a punch however, he blocks it. Krotos decides to punch back, but LV counters it as well as they trade blows with each other punching, kicking, as well as countering each other.
Error404 observes Krotos and LV battle using close quarters combat noting his skills in martial arts. Error404 looks at Error as he starts to get up from the ground.
Error rubbing his head while seeing both Krotos and LV use their flexibility to escape each other’s holds, but Error404 just looks at Error with a condescending smirk. Error is shortly angered deciding to fire bones both at LV and Krotos.
They soon see a flurry of bones launching at them as they teleported out of the way. LV becomes extremely agitated as Error selfishly interrupted their battle wondering if he should punch Error just for getting in the way.
LV shouted “The fuck you getting in the way for?!? He is mine!!!”
Error shouts back “Shut up!!! I’m dealing with him.”
Krotos is then caught in a barrage of attacks of crimson bones and beams of light charging towards him. Krotos simply moves out of the way without effort as the attacks nearly graze him, but never harming him to the annoyance of Error.
Error then surrounds Krotos with giant skulls about to fire their beams however, Krotos uses his violet strings to wrap the blasters throwing them towards Error as he teleports out of the firing line.
Error in the air supported by standing on his Gaster Blaster as both him and Krotos gaze at one another. Krotos did not lose his smirk while Error becomes hellbent on destroying his former apprentice’s friend.
Krotos questions Error “Do you know why I cannot defeat your master, but I can defeat you?”
Error laughs “You’re still all talk aren’t-”
Krotos teleports behind Error whispering “I could say the same thing about you.”
Error turns around only to be met with a knee to the ribcage then Krotos puts his hands skull forcing him down as another knee plants him. Krotos kept his hands upon Error’s skull kneeing him multiple times as he then slams him into the ceiling and falls back down to the floor.
The Gaster Blaster is unsummoned as Krotos falls down in the air only for an axe to be swinging in his direction. Krotos catches the axe throwing it back to LV as he dodges the counterattack. LV shoots fire magic towards Krotos as he is back on the ground he punches in the air as an exploding wave overpowers the flames.
LV is severely hit, but the bruises and burnt parts of his skull cease to exist as he regenerated himself. Error404 is pleasantly surprised that he damaged LV a being that can go at incredible speeds faster than light.
LV grunts looking at Krotos while Error slowly gets up from the ground also giving a distasteful look to Krotos. Both Error and LV has had enough of him as they summon their strings targeting the human.
Error’s blue strings and LV’s strings try to reach for the human’s Soul however, Krotos extends both of his hands shooting out his Violet strings entangling both Error’s and LV’s strings which shocks them.
In one swift motion he pulls them both towards him as they come flying in his direction. Error and LV crash into each other as Krotos teleports above them kicking LV in mid-air as both Error and LV tumble onto the floor.
LV jumps up from the ground swiftly while Error quickly gets up while Krotos stands in the Corridor as he has not lost his confidence. LV decides to stand by Error as Krotos patiently waits for his opponents to attack him.
LV stated to Error “Well that annoying pest still lives.”
Error’s reply “I can take him on without you!”
LV snorts “Don’t be ridiculous he wiped the floor with you. I would suggest that I distract him as I get up close and personal while you attack far behind.”
Error repeated “Like I said I don’t-”
LV interrupts “For once in your life Error just listen! Use all your power to cover every area you can find and hit him everything you got! I rather not drag this out longer than I have to, so just fucking do something once in your pathetic life!”
Error grunting “Why you little…”
LV dashes at supersonic speed landing a punch while Krotos uses both of his arms to block the attack. The hit did not scratch nor even harm Krotos as LV decides to hit him as hard and as fast as he can.
LV goes below and above striking from every direction he could think of, but each time he strikes he is either blocked by a hand or leg. LV gets frustrated going as fast as he could, yet the result stayed the same.
LV soon notices that Krotos is not even looking at him which starts to worry the damaged skeleton wondering if he is even human at all. Error meanwhile summons multiple Gaster Blasters as he could conjure pointed at both Krotos and LV.
Krotos walks back defending himself from LV as he shortly stood beside Error404 as he continues to watch with fascinating interest. Error without hesitation fired flurries of beam of light while LV teleports beside Error conjuring his own Gaster Blasters quickly to add to the fire power.
LV mentioned “Don’t worry he cannot escape. I locked down this whole AU, so he won’t be going anywhere.”
Error smirks as the blinding beams fire in both Krotos and Error404’s direction. They both did not flinch staring at the bright beams, but Error404 soon turns his attention to Krotos.
Error404 stating to Krotos “What will you do since you cannot escape to another AU due to LV’s lockdown and you’re mortal. If you want to impress me survive against their full might.”
Krotos smirks extending his hand out summoning the Determination Extractor protecting both him and Error404 as the blast struck. LV and Error continue firing destroying their surroundings as the AU is on the breaking point of erasure.
White lights emanate as a silhouette of Krotos as well as the Determination Extractor as the beams continue their rampage. Error and LV then decided to stop firing believing that the human is dead as burning smoke envelopes their surroundings.
Error is exhausted while LV continues to stand strong, but as clouds of smoke slowly start to disappear the first both Error and LV sees is the Determination Extractor. The AU glitches only showing pieces of code with everything else becoming a blank void.
The human from the Disbelief timeline as Frisk is shocked to see the blank environment around as their interest grew staying determined to see what has changed. Meanwhile LV and Error look at the Determination Extractor with surprise as it is not even slightly damaged.
Krotos unsummons the Determination Extractor as Error404 is impressed with his work.
Error404 says “A.”
Krotos apologised not understanding the context of Error404’s words “Sorry?”
Error404 explains “A. You survived both Error’s and LV’s special attacks which is rare. Although you have not defeat them you survived longer than I would have expected. Impressive. Most impressive.”
Error is in complete shock seeing Krotos unharmed not even slightly damaged as LV is slightly unnerved seeing the human not even phased by their attacks. Krotos turns his attention to Error and LV wondering they will continue the fight or flee.
LV questioned “What are you?”
Krotos remained silent not giving LV an answer while Error404 is intrigued on why he would keep that quiet. Error is in denial refusing to believe that Krotos his apprentice’s former friend is better than him.
Error yelled “How are you alive?!? No mortal should be able to survive that and how come your Blaster did not disintegrate the moment it was struck?!? How are you not dead?!?”
Krotos chuckled arrogantly which winds up Error and unsettles LV. Error404 is pleased what Krotos has performed, but his patience grew thin deciding that it is his turn, and it is about time to wrap things up.
Error extended his hand near the face of Krotos slowly moving his joints while Krotos stares at the skeleton with their sun and nightlike eyes. Once again neither of them flinched, but for Error404 the game needed to be over.
Error404 says to Krotos “It was fun while it lasted Krotos, but I think it’s time to wrap things up, shall we? You will be a fine addition to my collection.”
In a dimly lit room sitting on a throne is Dream and standing beside him is sadistic brother Nightmare. Dream puts a hand on his skull waiting for Error404, LV, and Error to arrive back. Nightmare as well starts to become impatient wondering if the human is stronger than they thought however, the thought is interrupted.
Error404 teleports in the throne room along with LV and Error as he is severely bruised. Dream and Nightmare sigh in relief hoping that they have good news for them. Dream stands up from his throne looking down at Error404 directly.
Dream asked “Took you long enough. Well, I assume you eliminated the human?”
Error404’s answer “Let me give you something more interesting Dream.
A mist of smoke appears behind them as a dark figure exits from the mist as both Nightmare and Dream are shocked. Error and LV turn around looking at who exited as Error404 did not join them.
Coming out from the shadows wearing a charcoal coat is Krotos as he is barely visible in the darkness. Dream then realises what Error404 has done and starts clapping with devilish delight. Dream walks down from his throne to Error404 as Nightmare joined him as well.
Error404 announced “Let me introduce you to our guest of honour. Krotos.”
Dream congratulates Error404 “Impressive work as always 404. Krotos will be a useful asset to our cause.”
Nightmare scoffed “we told you to specifically annihilate him! Not make him your slave!”
Dream replies for 404 “Now, now brother. Despite the change of plan, we can now learn everything we need from the human, and we can finally achieve our goal. Bring everyone that you can find Nightmare it is time that we finish what we started.”
Nightmare questions “Do you mind I bring Ink as well as X-Gaster to this occasion. After all he has one of our experimental Souls and I would very much like to know it’s capabilities.”
Dream answered “Very well I too am fascinated what this human can do. Now let us not waste any more time. Shall we?”
Nightmare says, “Of course brother.”
Nightmare teleports out of the throne room going into the separate barracks as launches his slime at his underlings teleporting them into the throne room one by one. Six Bones first arrives soon followed by Scoundrel then Insane Papyrus standing on the west of the throne room.
Insanity, Killer, and Bill Cipher Sans shortly joins them standing in the east side of the room. Both Killer and Insanity soon realise that Krotos is standing in their presence as they are about to attack Dream holds his hand up demanding them to stand down.
Insanity followed Dream’s order without hesitation while Killer is slightly angered, but he does not want to anger his boss, so he stands down. All eyes are on Krotos as he gives a blank expression not paying any attention on the environment around him.
Nightmare enters into a universe outside a city as a group of monsters and a couple of humans look upon it. Nightmare shortly stands beside a tall skeleton with dark robes with an X in the middle as well as another Sans lookalike with the same robes and a paintbrush.
Nightmare stated “We have him. The human who inherits one of the Souls that we have created is in our headquarters. Do you want to meet him X-Gaster?”
X-Gaster’s reply “I know where he is Nightmare, I have been keeping an eye on him for some time. I wanted to meet him for an exceedingly long time.”
Nightmare mentions “I see that you want to conquer original universe Undertale. I can’t wait for what twisted creations you can produce, but I warn you if you take him, I will hunt you down!”
X-Gaster noted “I apricate the warning Nightmare, but just in case I will bring nearly all my subjects to him. This won’t be a problem, right?”
Nightmare hesitates as he thinks X-Gaster will use his subjects to capture Krotos once he gets there however, if he does Nightmare swore to himself that he will declare war on the X-Tale residents. Standing on a grassy cliff Nightmare shrug as Ink looks out at the city with a blank expression.
Nightmare answered, “Sure do whatever you need to.”
X-Gaster demanded “Everyone except the humans will come to me and let us introduce ourselves to one I wanted to meet the most out all the Multiverse. Let us meet Krotos.”
A human adult with dark armour wearing a white cape stare at X-Gaster with their crimson eyes. The human is visibly spiteful towards him as Nightmare sees their gaze and looks at them disappointedly.
Nightmare declared “Long time no see X-Chara.”
Chara yelled back “Shut up Nightmare! What’s so important this Krotos you have been talking about and why did you pay close attention to him than to any of us?!?”
X-Gaster replies coldly “You are my subjects nothing more than that. This boy holds a vital part of what I have made and let out on the Multiverse to see if any them had any significant impact.
Krotos is that being who came out on top and with interesting results as well since he had to murder all of the other subjects who inherited the Souls. Which was his own family.”
X-Tale Chara gasps shocked after that revelation pitying a person who they never even knew yet still suffer because of him. Nightmare enjoys seeing X-Chara’s agony, but he as well as X-Gaster have more pressings matters to address.
Nightmare asks, “Shall we?”
X-Gaster’s response “Indeed. Frisk be a darling and take care of Chara for us. Make sure they don’t get into trouble.”
X-Frisk nods as they wear white robes and a blank-coloured chest plate while also wearing dark violet fingerless gloves, boots, and battle trousers. Their long dark flicker between their face as they stare down X-Chara.
Ink then looks at Nightmare with an intimidating stare which Nightmare is not affected by as dark slime covers X-Gaster, Ink, as well as the subjects of X-Gaster except for X-Frisk and X-Chara exit Undertale and into the throne room.
All the malevolent powers of the Multiverse arrive.
The subjects of X-Gaster arrive behind Krotos covered in either plain robes or dark battle armour. Dream stands in front and centre facing Krotos as Nightmare stands with Dream. X-Gaster and Ink also stands beside them while Error404 gives a hand signal to stand beside him.
Krotos slowly walks forwards joining Error404’s side while Error and LV stand beside him as well. Error soon faces against Ink and gives a distasteful look towards him, but Ink only gives him a soulless expression.
X-Gaster looks at Krotos saying the words “Finally.”
Ink added on “I agree. Now since Error404 has control of him he can tell us exactly what he is planning.”
Dream agreed “I was thinking the same thing, but before we do let us introduce him to everyone else.”
Dream steps forward turning around to X-Gaster, Nightmare, and Ink as Dream is about to make an announcement. Everyone pays their attention to Dream while X-Gaster kept eyes on the human.
Dream openly announcing “Ladies and gentlemen. I give you the honour of meeting our new asset in our empire. This human has escaped out grasp more times than we can count, but today his luck has run out. May I introduce you all to the human who will help achieve our lifetime goals.”
Dream turns pointing to Krotos continuing “His name is-”
Dream suddenly stops as he soon realised that the human that has become an annoyance in his plans is smirking. Dream is confused having no idea why Krotos is smiling with a devilish grin.
Dream looks to 404 asking “Why is the human smiling 404?!”
Error404’s sarcastic answer “Is he? I didn’t order him to have a sense of humour.”
X-Gaster unflinching mentions “He has been smiling ever since you started your announcement Dream.”
Krotos does a short run sliding across the floor standing right in front of Dream as he laughs while doing so.
Krotos declaring “It’s so nice to meet you Dream. I must thank you both you and Nightmare for making this shindig happen. I also must thank Error404 for bringing me to this exact location he has been quite helpful.”
Error404 responded “You’re welcome.”
Dream demandingly questions 404 “What is this meaning of this?!?”
Krotos answered for 404 “Is it not obvious. He decided to help me in order to get to you. Just like I planned X-Gaster, and Ink are here as well. You all have been most helpful.”
Ink asks “Why are you so confident? You brought the most powerful beings in the Multiverse into one spot. What stops us from annihilating you right here and now?”
Krotos chuckles replying “You could not eliminate even if you tried to. Ink you never felt a proper emotion in all of your life only using those vials to even come close to experiencing proper emotion. An abomination like you as protector of all AUs? Don’t make me laugh.”
Krotos turns his attention to X-Gaster as they both glare at each other. They both wickedly smiled acting not too differently from one another as their eyes glow in the dimly lighted room. Everyone else starts to become cautious around Krotos as they prepare to start a battle.
Krotos says aloud “Oh have I waited for this day.”
X-Gaster’s reply “The feeling is mutual.”
Krotos then turns his back to them walking towards Error404, LV, and Error!Sans. Slowly walking then shortly stops turning his gaze towards Dream and Nightmare as they look furiously back at him.
Krotos monologues “Well to give a basic summary your three best skeletons have betrayed you. I have you where I want you and I made a deal that they cannot refuse. I must say thank you to all of you.”
Dream coldly stated “You three will pay for this!”
Error404 responds “I like to see you try Dream.”
LV adds on “Well I never liked this team anyway. After all you have done you could not find my own AU or timeline even with the resources at your disposal. Thankfully I been reminded that my world still exists, and I need to meet my brother when this is all over.”
Error finally spoke “I do not work for anyone. I just came here to finish what I started with Ink. You will not escape this time!”
Ink sighs “You’re such an annoyance Error.”
Krotos puts fully extends his right hand up to the air putting his thumb and middle finger together.
Krotos speaks “Now let us begin. You insufferable fools.”
Krotos clicks his fingers as smoke scatters around the throne room engulfing everyone in sight. Meanwhile in the Grand Hallway Dustbelief soon sees clouds of smoke rushing towards him as he quickly is shoving Murder back and forth.
Dustbelief tells Murder “Sans get up!!!”
Murder is rudely woken up by Dustbelief, but he soon stands up seeing clouds that are about to engulf them. Dustbelief stands in front of Murder summoning his amber swords, but Murder instantly summons his Gaster Blaster in front of both them trying to defend himself and Dustbelief.
The smoke hits the Gaster Blaster as both of them are covered in the smoke and once it cleared no one is in the Grand Hallway. In the cabin the Horrortale skeleton brothers watch the fire however suddenly it turns to a huge cloud of smoke surrounding the cabin.
Horror says “What the-”
Horrortale Papyrus stays close to Horror as they each other’s backs. Horror summons his axe preparing to strike, but the mist covers them as Horror attempts to strike, but then they are no longer inside the cabin.
Chara and Asriel watch the eclipse sitting on the snow, but soon realise that the clouds are falling down from the sky. Chara did not pay much attention to it however, their brother certainly did.
Asriel questioning Chara “Um? Chara? Why are the clouds falling down?”
Before Chara could answer the question, they are both in the clouds of smoke as they disappeared from the snowy field. Finally, as Undyne, Frisk, Papyrus, Toriel, and Asgore walk gently in the forest they soon see large smokes clouds rushing towards them.
Undyne demands “Quick get behind me!”
Papyrus stands beside Undyne while Toriel and Asgore stand in front of Frisk trying to protect them.
The clouds devoured the monsters and the human teleporting them out of the forest. The smoke clears in the throne room as CORE walks inside to find no one in sight.
CORE sighed “I wish it would never come to this.”
CORE appears back in the Omega Timeline as they summon a screen in front of them as only smoke appeared, but patiently waits although they are heavily worried since they could do nothing but watch.
CORE apologised “May your souls rest and let us pray that it will shortly end. Everyone in there… I’m so sorry.”
Chapter 5: Declaration of War
Summary:
(Part 4 of the original story)
Chapter Text
Back before Krotos and Dream meet Error404 puts his hand near the face of Krotos as he glares at the towering skeleton. Error404 then emanates Krotos with a bleak navy-blue aura as he completely takes over his body and mind altering it to his design or so he thought.
The aura shortly evaporates glitching around both Krotos and Error404. This took Error404 by surprise as he takes a step back no longer smiling and seeing a text above him notifying 404 ‘NO EFFECT.’
Error404 soon displays caution no longer showing his arrogance, but instead an intimidating as well as threatening expression towards Krotos. LV and Error shortly notices that Error404 is becoming hostile a rare sight for both of them and one that would spark uncertainty into them.
Error404 coldly declaring “You’re no human. No being in the Multiverse not even the strongest entities have withstood against my will. How can you do what so many others tried and failed to withstand me while you succeed?”
Krotos hints “I am well beyond then what I previously was. I know I cannot defeat you, but that does not mean there is no defence against you. Raw power alone or manipulative scheming is useless against a being who knows all the fundamentals about the Multiverse.
That does not mean you know everything since you have never heard or seen me as well as Error!Frisk before. Do you wonder why you heard this shortly rather than knowing it all that time ago?”
Error404 is silent as he only heard about Krotos and Error!Frisk recently when he should have long before. Error404 has no idea how they travelled the Multiverse without his notice even when they were in the Anti-Void a place, he knows all the events, or he thought he did.
Error404 answering with one word “No.”
Krotos replied “Tough. We could fight even use one of your butterfly forms, but even you know your own weaknesses. Instead, I offer you a proposition.”
Error404 regains his composure curious what this human could offer him as he retains his intimidating grin.
Error404 says “Go on.”
Krotos offered “I want you to help me to get to Dream and I want Error as well as LV to join me.”
Error laughs “You’re insane! Why do you think we would ever join your pathetic little get together band of glitches while I could erase them in an instant.”
Krotos responded “I haven’t finish talking yet.”
LV adds on “What could you possibly offer us that even Error404 would be interested in? Whatever you’re thinking I doubt he would be interested.”
Krotos answers for all of them. “The revival of Alphatale.”
Error404 becomes incredibly suspicious of Krotos while LV and Error look at Krotos with confusion. Error404’s attention is undivided at Krotos stating an impossible promise.
Error404 calmly stating “How do you know about my AU? Only a handful of people know about the existence of it, and I doubt anyone that I know has told you about that. Where did you hear that?”
Krotos responds “There’s a difference between a dead and a forgotten AU although your alternative universe is the first to be created it is not the original. You forget that you are not the only person with an expanded knowledge on the Multiverse and you certainly don’t have omnipresence.”
Error404 aloud said “CORE!Frisk? I doubt the kid would tell you after the tragedy of it.”
Krotos lied “You’d be surprised.”
Error404 did not believe Krotos in the slightest however, he is interested on how he could revive his AU although he knows there is no feasible way to bring his home back. LV and Error listen closely as they not seen Error404 so keen on one measly human.
LV thought to himself (“It’s strange… When I was the fighting the human, it felt like I was hitting a puddle or slime. What on enough is his body made of?”)
Krotos continues “Anyway I believe once I arrive there both Ink and X-Gaster will arrive shortly after. I am confident that they would join us since I am your servant after all.”
Error404’s response “Why would-”
A sudden realisation comes across Error404 understanding what Krotos is planning although there is a fault in his plan he decides to play along. Error404 once again retains his intimidating grin as neither LV nor Error are ignorant to what Krotos is planning.
Error404 continuing “I see so that is how you revive my AU. It will be interesting how you will struggle against him, but it will be entertaining nonetheless.”
Error yelling “What are you two talking about?!?”
Krotos reveals “I am saying that I am offering you to fight Ink where he has to fight you no matter what.”
Error’s attention is caught replying “And how do you plan to do that?”
Krotos answered “You will find out soon enough.”
Error is slightly annoyed by that answer.
Krotos however, turns his attention to LV adding on “And I will send right back to your AU. Dream and Nightmare kept you in the dark ever since even Error404 knows about it, but if you join me and when everything is over you can return to your brother.”
LV’s question “Why would you help us and what do you get out of it?”
Krotos replies “I’ll be honest for a moment. The destruction of the Multiverse has to stop and if you continue on this path, you will never find your brother again. My question is that what you want?”
LV remains silent as they desperately want to see his brother again but has no idea where to start while Krotos knows, or he assumes to know that he at least has an inkling on the whereabouts of his brother. Error did not think the same way.
Error asked, “Why would I help you if you will stand in my way in destroying the Multiverse?”
Krotos spoke “I never said that you cannot continue your crusade. What I meant is that I help you battle Ink in one final battle and after that we part ways. I suspect we will meet again one more time for the fate of the Multiverse then, but right now I am helping you to eliminate all the competition now. Only I ask this once Error will you stand with me and erase the pathetic glitches who want the one perfect universe, or do you stand against me?”
Error hesitates as he wants to eliminate Krotos however, he also wants to eliminate both Ink and X-Gaster as well. Error404 once again stands beside Krotos as they both look upon Error and LV.
Error404 announced “I don’t believe I neither Dream, Ink, Nightmare, Bill Cipher, nor X-Gaster have met in one place. It will be interesting what this human has planned, and I want to see it through. I decided that I will help him, but I must ask which role I play in this game of yours?”
Krotos responds “Nothing. I just want you to keep out of the fight.”
Error404’s reply “Generous of you. Then I’ll observe from a distance seeing how your little team will cope with all the power. Your struggle will be highly amusing to me.”
Krotos turning his attention to Error and LV asking, “What about you two?”
LV sighs as he starts walking up to them as Error stands alone. LV stands beside Krotos while Error angrily looks upon them, but he would be foolish he decided to fight all three at once by himself.
LV says to Krotos “If you are lying, I will find you wherever you may go.”
Krotos states “Warning noted. Now what about you Error?”
Error clenches his fists, but he remembers the promises Krotos has said. Error wanted to erase Ink and X-Gaster for an exceedingly amount of time, so he sighs walking up to Krotos as he stood his ground.”
Error speaks one word “Once.”
Krotos smirks replying “Then I will arrive shortly. You three go first as you introduce my arrival as your servant Error404. Everything will fall in place and then everything begins.”
LV assumed “You don’t where it is. Shouldn’t one of us stay behind and teleport with you just to get there?”
Krotos assured LV “There is no need. I know where Dream’s throne room is since he is not the only one with eyes everywhere or he assumes at least. I will know when you introduce me so no need to worry.”
LV’s response “Suit yourself.”
Error404 demands “Don’t keep us waiting!”
Error404, LV, and Error exit the universe however, a small child approaches Krotos. The child has brown hair, a blue jumper with purple stripes, blue shorts, and brown boots wielding a knife in their hand.
Krotos looks upon the child stating “Frisk. I believe this our first meeting, but I have to be brief. Reset the world and reset your journey you will no longer find anything beyond.
Once you do you can continue the route you decided, or you can stop it in its entirety. The decision is yours to make.”
Frisk nods their head as they start loading the reset file as Krotos prepares to exit the universe himself.
Krotos said “Take care young one. I hope you can give some thought for them having a better life. Farewell.”
Krotos teleports out of the universe as smoke scatters around him as he is no longer seen. Frisk loads the reset button and resets recreating the world starting back at the beginning as they lie on a golden flowerbed.
As Krotos revealed that Error404, LV, and Error are traitors he clicked his fingers as everyone in the throne room and his own AU are engulfed in smoke as they all arrive on a stone chessboard ground. The sky is a mixture of daylight and night sky as Dream as well as his army stands on the west.
The team formed by Krotos stood tall on the east as they are already prepared for battle after their rude awakening. Krotos stood front and centre as all eyes are on him while he smiles widely as he summons a button in front of everyone he is against.
Krotos looks at X-Gaster dead in the eyes as he and everyone in Dream’s empire looks at the button displaying a dull red textbox that reads ‘Lockdown?’
Krotos presses the button without hesitation.
The button changes its text to ‘UNDERLOCKDOWN!’
The button disperses as the sky bleeds a crimson red while rainy clouds scatter around the sky. Chains as large as skyscrapers wrap around the universe locking everyone inside as no one can get in nor out.
Dream no longer content to let the human alive summons his bow aiming it at Krotos firing his imbued negative arrow. Krotos sees the arrow aim at his face as stares it down, but suddenly an amber blade deflects the arrow as it flies then falling upon the ground.
A tall skeleton wearing his cedar coat as well as tracksuit bottoms holding two amber swords in his hands. In his right eye socket is a glowing turquoise eye while the in other an amber light burns as he looks upon Shattered Dream.
A disgruntled scoff came from Dream while Nightmare using his extra appendages to attack Dustbelief. As the tall skeleton prepares to defend himself however, bones pierced into the appendages while slime scatters as the attack is countered.
A shorter skeleton teleported beside Dustbelief as he wears a hood over his head while his ruby eyes glowed glaring upon Nightmare. Dream and Nightmare walk in front of their army staring down their former servant Murder.
Dreams declares “You have a lot of nerve for joining the human Murder. I’ll make sure you will suffer at the end of your life!”
Murder’s response “Ha. You left me to die, but why do you care? I’m just another obstacle for you to deal with, so let’s skip the dialogue and get to the point.”
Dustbelief points his sword at Dream adding on “I the Great Papyrus challenge you my brother lookalike. Starting with you I’ll end this pointless bloodshed. Now prepare yourself!”
Dream chuckling accepted “So be it brother of Murder.”
Nightmare tells Murder “Its time I finish what I started ever since then.”
Murder’s reply “Trust me. It won’t be like last time.”
Nightmare said mockingly “If you say so.”
Instantly a skeleton with a head in his hand tries to bash the skull of Murder as both he and Dustbelief did not have enough time to defend themselves or move out of the way. Swinging down an axe plunges at the decapitated skull cracking it as another skeleton countered the attack.
Insanity looks up seeing Horror Defending Murder but is then shortly hit by sharp bleeding bones tossing Insanity away from everyone. Horror looks at his side to see his brother extending his hand knowing that it was he who summoned the stack of dangerous bones.
Horror thanks his brother “Cheers Papyrus.”
Horrortale Papyrus responded “You’re welcome brother.”
Horrortale Papyrus runs towards Insanity summoning sharp bones in his tattered gloves. Horror puts his axe on his shoulder blade then he looks at Murder with his massive cranberry eye.
Horror demanded “Focus mate! We just started and we don’t need a monster down so soon. Later.”
Horror then rushes with his brother going after Insanity while Nightmare refocuses his gaze back at Nightmare. Dream then starts firing his magical arrows at Dustbelief while he deflected them with both if his swords.
Nightmare uses his appendages to strike at Murder in multiple directions however, Murder teleports in front of the appendages soon summoning his Gaster Blaster firing at Nightmare. The blast strikes, but Nightmare slithers away becoming slime as he starts going in the opposite direction from everyone else.
Dustbelief gets closer to Dream and as he slashes at Dream, he turns into slime following Nightmare then Murder teleports beside Dustbelief. Murder summons another Gaster Blaster to place a hand on Dustbelief’s shoulder as they both teleport in the direction of their opponents.
A Sans lookalike with a golden blazer, a long black coat and formal trouser as well as shoes walks to Krotos looking at the human with slight interest.
The skeleton says “The name’s Bill Cipher human. I don’t why Error404 is interested in you, but I don’t care. Do me a favour and die now!”
Bill Cipher Sans clicks fingers however, nothing happens which he then clicks his finger again. Annoyed he clicks his fingers multiple times saying “Come on! Come one!”
Krotos smiling announcing to him “Sorry I made sure there are no more uninvited guests that will appearing out of nowhere.”
Bill Cipher Sans angrily muttered “Why you!”
Stars start falling down from the sky as Bill Cipher Sans teleports out of the targeted area while floating in the air. The attack did not stop as more stars target Bill Cipher Sans in the air forcing him to levitate close to the ground.
Bill Cipher Sans then notices a fish-like woman dashing towards him as her spear is about to pierce his blazer. Outertale Undyne strikes at Bill Cipher’s chest plate only for her to miss as they teleported to avoid the attack.
Bill Cipher amused mentioned “Alright I’ll play with you.”
Bill Cipher Sans once again levitating high in the air as more stars are firing at him while Outertale Undyne runs at his direction trying to catch the trickster skeleton. LV standing near Error404 then decides to pick his opponent rather than wait around for everyone else to make their move first.
LV runs at supersonic speed planting his hand on to a Sans lookalike with a bat in his hand. The skeleton has a dark hoodie with a broken violet heart sowed in the middle as he gasps not expecting a hand upon his skull.
LV stated, “You’re mine!”
A gust of wind goes through Dream’s team accidently awakening the awful beast as a Papyrus lookalike zooms at a human with a green hoodie charging with a decapitated Sans skull about to strike. Chara fearful of that creature tries to avoid the attack however, a sword stops the blunt blow from landing.
Chara’s brother Asriel stands up to the Insane skeleton as that Papyrus mutters in delight ready to demolish the children. Asriel struggles to hold the clash for long while Chara looks in shock.
Chara shouts in worry “Asriel!!!”
Asriel’s plea “Chara I could some help please!”
Chara snaps out of their surprise summoning crimson blades striking at the head of Insane Papyrus. The knifes pierced the skeleton however, that did not stop his pursuit as he grabs Asriel’s head throwing him widely away from everyone else.
Chara cried “Asriel!!!”
Chara teleports to Asriel’s location.
Asriel kept hold of his sword but is slightly bruised as Chara checks up on him. Insane Papyrus does not let them rest as he starts charging towards them. Chara immediately picks them up as Asriel’s sword automatically is unsummoned as Chara runs away with their brother being chased by a lunatic.
Killer thought Insane Papyrus has the right idea as then charges past Krotos targeting Outertale Frisk as he believes they are the weakest in the group. Frisk steps back as they are about to be attacked with a knife, but a bone stops the slash from hitting.
Outertale Papyrus protected Frisk then using the blue attack to force Killer away from them. Killer is then shortly released by the blue attack while Outertale Papyrus and Frisk stand ready for another attack.
Krotos shouted “Hey Frisk!!!”
Outertale Frisk turns their attention to Krotos as he gets an item from his pocket throwing it towards their direction. Frisk luckily grabs the item realising it is a sharpened wooden knife. Frisk at first is concerned for their safety, however, shortly brings their attention back to Killer.
Killer then starts charging at Papyrus attacking him with a knife while he defends using a bone in his hand. Outertale Frisk uses their jetpack dashing at Killer tackling him into the air as Outertale Papyrus is unpleasantly surprised.
Outertale Papyrus shouting “Frisk!!!”
Outertale Papyrus runs towards the direction both Killer and Outertale Frisk are flying towards to as both Toriel and Asgore decide to go in their direction to see if Frisk is alright. They start to teleport in their direction, however, is then shortly stopped by a melding skeleton amalgamation firing at them with unorthodox attacks as they are forced to avoid them.
Six Bones fires bones in their direction as Toriel as well as Asgore fire pillars of flames at the amalgamation however, the damage did not affect him. Six Bones continues to fire bones in various sizes as both Toriel and Asgore are forced to retreat going in the opposite direction that they wanted to go.
Six Bones slowly catches up to his opponents continuing to fire bones at them leaving only Error, Krotos, Error404, X-Gaster, Ink, as well as X-Gaster’s subjects. Error standing beside Krotos as well as his master see the insidious group from X-Tale along with Ink.
Error404 shortly announced “Well since everyone else has departed I will watch them from above. Interesting you did not help a single one your teammates, but I guess you have the eyes on the prize. Good luck human and try not embarrass yourself Error.”
Error grunted “Fuck off!”
Error404 teleported in the crimson chained sky looking down upon both the Insurgence as well as the Empire.
X-Gaster questioned “You’re not going to use 404? Interesting decision, but not a wise one.”
Error yelled “We don’t need him! I should have erased your AU long ago and it’s about time I rectify my mistake! Starting with you!”
Ink implied “I’m afraid I can’t let you do that Error.”
Ink stands in front of X-Gaster holding his paintbrush in a defensive position waiting for Error to attack. Error steps forward glaring at Ink while he soullessly looks back at Error. In front of Krotos Error stands his ground observing Ink while X-Gaster continues to smirk.
X-Gaster noted “I guess no matter what side you both on it seems that the Multiverse has destined you both to fight forever. Ink I think it’s about time you end this pointlessly dragged-out battle of yours to a close. Make sure he stays down permanently!”
Ink’s reply “Of course.”
Suddenly Ink decides to dash at Error about to strike him with his paintbrush however, Error grins as crimson bones pierced the ground rising upwards hitting Ink. The attack makes Ink fly into the air, but soon demolishes the bones with his paintbrush.
Ink summons his Gaster Blaster as Ink falls down from the sky targeting Error.
Error summons his Gaster Blaster protecting himself from the inky blast as he extends his hand towards the air. Error then looks back at Krotos as a thought needed to be answered.
Error asks “Krotos. You said that Ink has to fight me no matter what? Is that true here?”
Krotos answered “No one can escape from here. The AU is in Lockdown and no matter what anyone does it cannot be changed under any circumstances.”
Error continued to smirk as he dreamed to erase Ink as he has no escape nor chance to fight back. Krotos has given him the chance to erase Ink once and for all as it is now up to Error.
Error demands “Do me a favour and erase that pathetic glitch that stands right before you!”
Krotos replied “With pleasure.”
Error teleports meeting Ink in the ruby sky as they once again battle each other, but this time there will be no escape. X-Gaster did not lose his gaze upon Krotos staring at him with both his red and purple eyes.
X-Gaster declaring “Impressive you lured everyone including me to your alternative universe. Even after your disappearance you still manage to strive in the direst of times. Now show me what you are capable it will be of great interest to see what your Soul can do.”
Krotos arrogantly responded “Trust me when you arrived here it is the best outcome I could have hoped for. Give it your best shot if you can hit me that is.”
X-Gaster signals two humanoid goat monsters to engage the human. The tall male goat humanoid wears dark violet armour summoning his mulberry trident as his plain hair and beard roughly moves along the wind. Above his head is a dark grape crown as the demonic horns displayed an agitated aggression.
A female goat humanoid stands beside him wears a grape dress with white robes also wearing a tie with a delta rune symbol near her neck. The being also has a dark violet crown on her head as well as shorter horns showing a sad yet sympathetic expression on her face.
Krotos looks at X-Gaster no longer smirking instead replaced with an intense irritation.
Krotos scoffs “You dare send your majesties against me? They may mean nothing to you, but to me they are the highest royalty and for you to be controlling them disgusts me.”
X-Gaster orders “Asgore stay on the offensive! Toriel cover for him! Now go!”
X-Asgore aggressively runs towards Krotos as X-Toriel extends both her arms and hands out to create dark flames in her palms.
X-Asgore immediately swings his trident straight towards Krotos while stands aside avoiding the attack however, multiple dark flames launch at him by X-Toriel. Krotos starts to run forwards ducking against the first flame, jumping above the next while spinning himself in the air to miss the third.
Krotos plants his two feet back to the ground running towards X-Gaster as X-Asgore turns around firing his dark flames at Krotos. X-Toriel continues to fire her flames at him as Krotos is surrounded by incoming fire balls.
A fireball targets behind his head, but without looking he tilts it as the fire went past him. In both directions fire charges at him on all sides only for him to cartwheel out the way. A gigantic flame has about hit him, but he slides under it as he did not get burnt.
Error404 looks at Krotos mockingly questioning “Seriously? Running?”
Krotos continues to dash towards X-Gaster’s direction while X-Asgore is trying to catch up to him. X-Gaster signals a hand to Toriel ordering her to stop firing unless it deemed fit.
X-Gaster commanded “Asriel. Mettaton. Cut him down!”
A young male goat humanoid wearing black robes as well as cape with white outlines summons two dark swords running at Krotos. A lightsabre activates as a humanoid robot wears a black mask covering most of his mechanical face.
The robot has long dark hair wearing a mixture of white and violet colour on his battle armour with a glowing mauve heart imprinted in the middle. The robot wears a pointy cape holding his lightsabre in his hand runs along with X-Asriel to strike down the human.
X-Asriel ahead of X-Mettaton decides to strike first aiming for the chest while Krotos falls on his back missing the attack, but X-Asgore thrusts his trident as he at first was aiming for the human now is aiming at his son.
They both immediately stopped as they take a few steps back while X-Mettaton slashes his lightsabre towards the ground targeting Krotos. Sliding out of the way sideways as the blade clashed the ground Krotos jumps back on his feet as X-Mettaton continues to look at him.
X-Asriel, X-Asgore, as well as X-Mettaton once again go on the offensive as X-Asgore heavily swing his trident then X-Asriel adding two more swings while X-Mettaton tries to cleave the head of Krotos.
Krotos swiftly evades all attacks just stepping back as well as ducking as they all continue their offensive with multiple swings of their weapons. Krotos continues to dodge all incoming attacks as X-Gaster decides to push his limits with his flexibility.
X-Gaster directed “Undyne. Papyrus. Let us test this human. Do not hold back!”
A tall skeleton that is another Papyrus lookalike wears white robes and dark jeans with plain boots. An exceedingly long scarf is wrapped around his skeletal neck summoning a scythe as he dashes along to help his comrades.
A fish female humanoid wears white robes as well as dark violet battle armour beneath her waist summoning a heather spear in her hand charging with X-Papyrus. Krotos avoiding the strikes notices that X-Papyrus and X-Undyne are about join him.
X-Papyrus suddenly extends his hand as the ground cracked beneath Krotos as he jumps exceedingly high in the air. Bones pierce the ground upwards towering the monsters trying to catch up to the human. Krotos shortly falls down gliding in the air avoiding the bones while heading in the direction of X-Gaster.
X-Gaster calmly commands “Fire!”
X-Asgore as well as X-Toriel summon blazes of violet fire rushing towards the human while X-Undyne magically conjured numerous spears directly targeting Krotos. X-Papyrus mobilizes a multitudinous of bones firing along with the violet fire and the piercing spears.
Krotos dives straight into harm’s way spinning while stretching his body as the bones, spears, and flames pass right by him. They continued their offensive summoning as many projectiles that they could throw at the human, but Krotos gets closer to X-Gaster about to crash into him.
X-Toriel puts her hands close to each other charging her violet flame as she then hurled it at the human. Krotos is about to come into contact with a gigantic blaze of fire, but supernaturally he does a straight back somersault in mid-air just grazing the flame before he landed his two feet back on the ground.
X-Gaster soon realised that Krotos did not suffer any injury or broken bones landing perfectly safely to his surprise. X-Mettaton targeting Krotos slashes at his waist, but Krotos once again somersaults as X-Mettaton misses with his Lightsabre.
X-Mettaton kept on the offensive striking with his blade while X-Asgore, X-Undyne, X-Papyrus, and X-Asriel decide to aid X-Mettaton striking with their weapons as well. Krotos carries on evading their attacks using his flexibility while Error404 grows bored of watching them.
Error404 says to himself “This could go on for a while. Let’s see how the others are doing?”
Error404 looks out upon the land as his attention is caught by Killer being tackled into the ground as Frisk from Outertale crash lands as well. Killer groans as Frisk gets up stepping back from Killer holding their wooden knife preparing to battle Killer.
Killer stands up titling their knife towards Frisk as he confidently boasts “You should have killed me when you had the chance.”
Killer swings his knife towards Frisk as they deflected the attack with their wooden knife. Killer pursues Frisk aiming for their neck, heart, or wrists. Frisk ducks from the attack for the neck as they dash to the side to avoid being thrusted by a knife.
Outertale Frisk decides to fight as they strike at Killer’s back, but Killer summons a rally of bones at them. The bones slightly graze the human, but Frisk had to retreat as Killer once again goes on the offensive.
Killer relentlessly attacks Frisk as they are forced to avoid their knife dodging when they could but continues to be grazed by his attacks. Outertale Frisk soon kneels as they are out of breath while Killer takes the opportunity to strike them down.
Killer swiftly slashes his knife targeting Frisk’s chest as they could only watch trying to dodge once again but did not have enough time to evade the attack. Immediately a bone blocks the knife from landing it’s hit as both Killer and Frisk look above to see a starry skeleton.
Outertale Papyrus holding a bone in his hand shoves his weapon as Killer stumbles back tumbling to the ground. Frisk is relieved to see their friend and thankful that he protected them.
Outertale Papyrus asks “Frisk are you alright?!”
Outertale Frisk assures Papyrus they are fine.
Killer quickly gets back to his feet as he scoffs as Outertale Papyrus interfered with his victim. Outertale Papyrus looks at Killer with furious intent as Outertale Frisk stands behind them holding their wooden knife close as they stare down Killer.
Killer dashes towards Outertale Frisk however, Outertale Papyrus swings his bone towards Killer’s skull. Killer ducks his skull still dashing towards the human, but Outertale Frisk charges back as they both clash their knives.
Outertale Papyrus shortly uses blue magic levitating Killer into the air then Papyrus conjuring stars targeting his opponent. Killer responds by summoning sharpened broken bones launching them at the stars cancelling the attack.
Killer emanating blue aura is soon vanishes as Outertale Frisk uses their jetpack to fly towards Killer as he starts falling down to the ground. Outertale Frisk flies into Killer swinging their knife aiming for their chest plate as Killer is forced to block it with his knife as they once again clash knives.
Outertale Frisk uses gravity to their advantage pushing their knife while using their jetpack for Killer to harshly crash back into the ground. Killer grumbles as Frisk lands safely back on the ground as neither of them went for the killing blow.
Killer slowly gets up again telling them “Ha. You think… You think you can win without killing me? I promise you. You will regret that decision!”
Error404 watches as Killer and Outertale Papyrus as well as Frisk stand-off, but quickly turns his attention to his temporary apprentice forcing Scoundrel Sans to fight alone in area he desired.
LV throws Scoundrel as he rolls onto the floor dropping his bat however, he swiftly gets up kneeling putting a hand in pocket drawing a gun then firing a bullet as rushes towards LV. The bullet closely reaches its target, but LV snatches the bullet then shows it to Scoundrel by using his skeleton thumb and finger.
LV’s question “Is this supposed to hurt me?”
Scoundrel is shocked however, runs to his bat grabbing it then closing in on LV as he tries to bat his skull off. LV easily ducks but gives Scoundrel a chance to see if he has any tricks up his sleeve.
Scoundrel continues to attack with his bat multiple times however, LV dodges each strike without much effort as Scoundrel summons bones underneath LV as the bones cracked the floor and pierce LV.
Scoundrel smirks, but LV chuckles displaying a disappointed expression.
LV stated “Your bone attacks are weaker than a Classic Sans. Despite my regeneration abilities I’m starting to wonder why Nightmare chose you? If this your best, then I am disappointed.”
Scoundrel’s reply “I’m not finished yet!”
Scoundrel Sans immediately conjures numerous Gaster Blasters surrounding LV as they instantly fire blasting LV. Scoundrel wanted to obliterate LV, so that he could not regenerate.
Scoundrel stopped the blast as smoke spreads around him blurring his vision on whether he annihilated LV. The clouds of smoke vanish as Scoundrel gasps as LV stands tall regenerating himself while staring down Scoundrel.
LV spoke aloud “Well that was boring. I hoped you be a challenge since Nightmare handpicked you, but I guess I was wrong. Now it’s my turn!”
LV grabs Scoundrel’s vertebra as Scoundrel puts both of his hands on LV’s arm trying to escape the hold. LV opens his mouth as a red aura surrounds Scoundrel’s skull as LV engulfs it stealing Scoundrel’s level of violence.
Scoundrel loses his purple iris in his left eye socket as he starts to wonder where is. LV lets go of him as he drops to the ground, but before Scoundrel could say a word, bones pierced him from the ground.
LV walks away as Scoundrel extends his hand trying to reach out for anything however, he soon perished as his Soul shatters becoming dust. LV looks up into the air as he soon catches Error404 waving to him.
LV chuckles deciding to teleport beside him as they begin to chat to each other.
Error404 asked “Was he a challenge?”
LV’s answer “No he wasn’t even that. A good meal, but nothing else. Mind if I watch with you?”
Error404 responded “Be my guest.”
LV as Error404 gaze their eyes to a peculiar sight, seeing an amalgamation of Classic Sans and Papyrus. Bones target both Toriel and Asgore as they cancel the attacks with their flames burning the bones to a crisp.
Toriel and Asgore fire the roaring flames targeting Six Bones trying to disintegrate the being, but it resulted in vain. Toriel and Asgore gains some distance as Six Bones watches them murmuring loudly.
Asgore suggests “I think we combine our flames, so that we can at least stall him for how much time we can get.”
Toriel’s response “How do you know if it will work? All of our attacks have no effect on him.”
Asgore honestly answers “I don’t. We have to try at least.”
Asgore extends a handout, opening his palm as looks at Toriel hoping that she would assist him. Toriel out of ideas sighs putting her open palm on top of Asgore as they both concentrate slowly creating an expanding fire ball.
Six Bones looks curiously at them with wonder.
Toriel as well as Asgore create a mini sun as they both at the same time throw the gigantic flame targeting Six Bones as a mini nuclear explosion erupts. Both Toriel and Asgore huffs and paths tired from using a large amount of magic.
Black mist expands into the air as it starts to fade as Toriel and Asgore still look where Six Bones is as they are suddenly cut by bones grazing their faces as well as knees. Six Bones screeches firing a multitude of bones targeting them as they create a firewall burning the bones for their safety.
A crack is heard below Asgore and Toriel as they shortly teleport separating them while bones barely pierce the ground as they slowly rise. Toriel and Asgore scoff soon conjuring flames attacking Six Bones however, he is not damaged.
Six Bones annoyed tries to summon a Gaster Blaster that is deformed and disjointed as beam is created targeting Asgore. Before Asgore is about to teleport the Gaster Blaster is unsummoned to the bewilderment on Asgore’s mind.
Asgore decided not to conjure flames seeing it as a waste of time and magic in order to potentially stall the slow walking amalgamation. Toriel however, continues the attack although Six Bones is not affected at all by her magical flames.
Six Bones once again fires with wall of bones as both Asgore and Toriel are forced to dodge them. Although scared and bruised Toriel and Asgore carries on stalling Six Bones as long as they possibly can.
Error404 and LV divert their attention to another battle seeing a mad Papyrus lookalike chase a human carrying a monster in their arms. Chara runs for their life with Asriel in their arms as Insane Papyrus chases them with mad intent.
Asriel slowly awakens then shortly realising Chara is carrying them to his surprise. Chara notices that their brother has woken up as he immediately jumps out of Chara’s arms. Chara turns around looking at his brother as they are extremely worried.
Asriel questions “Chara what-”
Chara screamed “Asriel look out!!!”
A delightful screech is heard behind Asriel as Insane Papyrus with knifes dropping down from his skull reaches for the young goat humanoid. Chara without hesitation launches their magical knifes behind Insane Papyrus piercing the skeleton’s body.
For a moment it stopped Insane Papyrus as Asriel turns around meeting the disfigured skull as he jumps back in shock as he is soon beside Chara once again. Insane Papyrus then attacks aiming for Chara while Asriel conjures small stars targeting the skeleton.
The stars damage him but did not stop his offensive as Chara grabs Asriel’s shoulder teleporting them away from the mad skeleton. Gaining some distance Chara immediately summons more knifes striking at Insane Papyrus.
The skeleton slowly starts to pursue them again while Chara is shaking with fear. Asriel could see their terror as he decides to stay strong for them. Asriel would not let anyone take Chara away from them again, so he charges at the skeleton with his sword in hand.
Chara shouts “Asriel wait!!!”
Asriel yelled back “Don’t worry I’ll protect you.”
Asriel continues to conjure stars hitting Insane Papyrus however, it slightly affected him. Insane Papyrus then launches sharp bones at Asriel while he sliced each bone in his path, but Insane Papyrus tries to harm him again.
Asriel ducks evading the attacks from Insane Papyrus, but Chara looks at them as they thought they should be protecting Asriel not the other way around. Chara starts to loathe herself for being fearful in a time that their brother needs them the most, so their crimson eyes glow.
Chara teleports in front of the skeleton cutting his bones with their knife, but it did not affect him in anyway. Insane Papyrus did not notice them only trying to grab the neck of Chara’s brother however,
Chara grabs his arm teleporting them away from Insane Papyrus.
Once again with some distance Asriel looks at Chara as they regained their determination into protecting Asriel at all costs. Asriel could see their resolve, but he wonders if they would do it as a team.
Asriel’s question “Together?”
Chara looks at them nodding their head answering “Together.”
Chara points their knife towards Insane Papyrus as Asriel did the same with his sword. Insane Papyrus looks on with devilish excitement ready to face down the children of the Dreemurr family.
Insane Papyrus aloud speaks “This is going to be so much fun!”
Meanwhile back in the universe of Undertale X-Frisk wearing their white robes looks at X-Chara intensely while X-Chara just stares at the city wondering what their Gaster is so interested in the being named Krotos.
Suddenly a grey child appears next X-Chara as they are shocked as X-Frisk summons their blood sword at the child since they are under the control of X-Gaster. CORE looks at X-Chara while they do not know what the child wants.
CORE spoke “Chara from XTale I would like you to join me in the Omega Timeline.”
X-Frisk speaks for X-Gaster “Chara will not be going anyway!”
CORE’s response “You can come with as well if you want to keep an eye on them.”
X-Chara asked, “What do you want...um?”
CORE says their name “My name is CORE!Frisk but most people just call me CORE. The reason I’m asking you to come with me is that your Gaster is fighting against the last protector of AUs apart from myself.
I wondered if you’d be interested to see the final battle between everyone or to at least see the Omega Timeline for what it is.”
X-Chara questioned “And if I refuse?”
CORE replies “Then I’ll leave you be.”
X-Chara hesitated however he would rather be near anyone apart anyone from their AU. X-Frisk looks intensely at X-Chara, but X-Chara could not care for them since they know it is not there Frisk anymore.
CORE extends both of their hands towards X-Chara and X-Frisk. X-Chara without much thought accepts the handshake while X-Frisk scoffs, but still needs to keep an eye on X-Chara reluctantly accepting the handshake.
They all teleport into the Omega Timeline as a small screen levitating in the air is near to CORE!Frisk. X-Chara intrigued walks over to the screen as well as CORE!Frisk. They both look the battle between Krotos and X-Gaster as X-Gaster used X-Chara family and friends as pawns against the human from WiseTale.
X-Frisk just coldly stares at X-Chara not interested in anything else, but to keep an eye on X-Chara. In the white void X-Chara sees the face of what X-Gaster is interested in and X-Chara is confused to why that particular human is important.
X-Chara asks, “Is that Krotos?”
CORE did not reply back only giving a faint nod, but X-Chara looks at Krotos with unusual interest. X-Chara has no idea what so special about the human although his flexibility is impressive, they did not know what else the human can do.
X-Frisk unsummons their sword crossing their arms still staring at X-Chara as X-Chara starts to become uncomfortable. The screen starts flickering to see other beings fighting each other.
X-Chara notices a few familiar faces that are Nightmare and Killer fighting lookalikes from different universes. X-Chara also notices that Ink and Error are fighting once again not to their surprise.
X-Chara then sees two beings looking down at the battles one with a long white coat while the other with a red jacket. Inside the universe LV and Error404 after seeing a preview of the battle for Asriel and Chara against Insane Papyrus they drew their attention to the Horrortale skeleton brothers.
404 and LV see the Horrortale brothers chasing Insanity as he pursues them as well. 404 and LV thought it will be a more entertaining fight than the rest.
Horror closes in on Insanity as they strike with their weapons. Insanity tries to bash Horror’s skull, but Horror uses the side of his blade to stop the incoming skull. Horror pushes Insanity slightly as sharp blood-stained bones rise from the ground.
Insanity gets struck by the bones that Horror Papyrus constructed as he looks at Horror for recognition. Horror looks at his brother nodding which pleases Horrortale Papyrus. Insanity shortly breaks the blood-stained bones screeching while he targets Horror’s brother.
Horror rushes to Insanity swinging his axe down on his skull, but he blocks with his Papyrus skull as another crack is made as it stops him from attacking Horrortale Papyrus. Insanity grabs Horror’s skull planting it down to the ground while Horrortale Papyrus worried conjured bones hitting Insanity violently sent him flying away from them.
Horrortale Papyrus then helps his brother from the ground as Horror apricates his help. Horror being helped by his brother to get up shortly stands by himself grabbing his axe from the floor as they turn their attention back to Insanity.
Insanity extends his arm out to Horror as suddenly Horror emanates a blue aura as he flies into the direction of Insanity. Horror Papyrus reacted with surprise but uses his magic to lift Insanity into the air as he also emanated blue aura.
Horror’s aura vanishes as he lands on the ground soon summoning sharpened bones in the air.
The sharpened bones are directed at Insanity while he summoned a bloodied big skull protecting himself from the bones as the aura around him evaporates. Insanity teleports in front of Horror about to punch his skull.
Horror soon is then grabbed by his brother as they jump back as Insanity misses his mark. Horrortale Papyrus puts his brother down as Insanity charges for Horrortale Papyrus successfully landing a punch as Horrortale Papyrus stumbles down into the ground.
Horror angered by Insanity uses blue magic throwing him away from them then summoning a large stack of blood-stained bones piercing and imprisoning the mad Sans lookalike. Horror kneels down beside his brother while Horrortale Papyrus gets back up on his own as he is shaken, but not in his resolve.
Insanity punches the bones that contain him shattering it in its entirety although he has been pierced, bruised, mauled, he stands up strong. Horror and Horrortale Papyrus look at him although they have been working well together it seemed nothing has even damaged the skeleton madder than Horror.
Insanity looks upon them with a wide grin ready for them but is losing to contain himself. Horror and Horrortale Papyrus stare down the hard to kill skeleton as Horror tilts his axe hoping he can slay Insanity. They all charge at each other again and although LV as well Error404 are intrigued to see the fight continue they turn their attention to Bill Cipher.
Bill Cipher being chased down by Outertale Undyne he decided to create monsters that surround Undyne. The starry Royal Guard swings her spear only for the attacks to phase through the monsters.
A sound is heard above her as a one eyed Gaster Blaster charges it’s beam to fire upon her. Undyne summons a cutting star annihilating the Gaster Blaster as she soon turns her attention to Bill Cipher Sans.
Undyne summons stars surrounding Bill Cipher Sans as they explode as stars scatter around. Bill Cipher Sans without much effort teleports out of the attacks one by one toying with Undyne’s attempts to harm him.
Undyne scoffs as Bill Cipher Sans decides to toy with her. Undyne starts to see Outertale Papyrus and Frisk dying by the hands of Killer as they scream for her to help them. Undyne swings her spear at Killer, but it phases through him as she soon realises that it is a hallucination.
Bill Cipher Sans laughs with delight as Outertale Undyne is disgusted, but she now knows that he can conjure hallucinations. Outertale Undyne furious at Bill Cipher Sans could not contain her wrath.
Outertale Undyne stated “Bastard!”
Bill Cipher Sans responds “That was hilarious! It’s almost as hilarious as you trying to fight me. When I can so easily do this.”
Outertale Undyne starts to see her mentor Outertale Asgore being slain by Horror as he decapitates his head off. Undyne tries to look away, but more hallucinations haunt next seeing her love interest Alphys backed into a corner of a wall.
Outertale Alphys is then struck by a bone from her head as she turns into dust. The killer is Murder Sans as she grits her teeth while Bill Cipher Sans enjoys tormenting her. In a fiery rage Undyne summons stars all around her as Bill Cipher Sans is forced to teleport as they stars kept exploding and reaching far distances.
Bill Cipher Sans grunted “Well that’s no fun.”
Outertale Undyne angrily responding “You will have to do better than that! My turn!”
Outertale Undyne launching multitudes of stars at Bill Cipher Sans while he avoids them with no effort not even teleporting out of the way. Walking side by side only for him to suddenly be in arm’s length of Undyne.
Outertale Undyne swings with her spear as Bill Cipher Sans teleports out of the way starting to get annoyed with her but is about to be pierced by a wave of stars. Bill Cipher Sans summons his Gaster Blaster blocking the attack as Outertale Undyne stares at him with a grin.
Bill Cipher Sans surrounds Outertale Undyne with Gaster Blasters as she moves out of the way as the beams fired. Bill no longer had any patience for her wanting to kill her now.
Error404 and LV are slightly disappointed with Bill Cipher Sans and Outertale Undyne’s performance hoping it would exceed Insanity’s as well as the Horrortale skeleton brothers. Moving on they turn their attention to the skeleton that are destined to fight forever Ink and Error.
Ink uses his Gaster Blasters firing at Error while he teleports out of the way while he is summoning his crimson bones. Error launches them at Ink as he uses his paintbrush to make a dark sphere protecting himself from the projectiles as he soon exits the sphere charging at Error.
Ink tries to strike with his paintbrush, but Error counteracts it with a crimson bone not letting Ink touch him. They struggle trying to get the edge of each other, but neither lost nor took the advantage.
Error mentioned “I won’t fall for that again!”
Ink’s reply “We’ll see.”
Ink punches Error as he levitates backwards into the bloody air. Ink once again tries to strike with his paintbrush, but Error teleports behind him wrapping him in his strings then punches with his left hand. Immediately he summons his Gaster Blaster firing at Ink as he is sent flying sideways in the air.
Ink regains his stance then firing ink bones at Error while he responded by firing his crimson bones cancelling the incoming attacks altogether.
Ink shortly teleports behind Error as he struck down at him. Luckily Error summoned a rotating ruby bone behind him as he is protected from the attack while summoning Gaster Blasters from the side firing upon Ink.
Ink turns into slime gaining some distance from Error plotting how it would be best to get the advantage. As the Gaster Blaster fired missing their target Error looks at Ink arrogantly believing he has the upper hand in the battle.
Error asking Ink “What’s the matter afraid I will erase you once and for all?”
Ink factually answered “You tried and failed many times before. In order to create the perfect universe, I must stop you at all costs and with the help of X-Gaster we will get rid of you.”
Error assured Ink “You will never get rid of me! After all we’ve been through you get dumber every second that passes by and I’m sick of it. Undertale should be the only universe that exists!”
Ink’s question “Even if that meant that we did not exist neither any variation from the original universe?”
Error’s answer “If that meant getting rid of you and the Multiverse then yes. It’s time that I finally do my job and end this pathetic crusade once and for all. Krotos and I will end you then it will be our battle that begins.”
Ink sighs “So be it.”
Error404 and LV move onto the next battle as Nightmare reverts back into his original state as Murder confronts him. Dream and Dustbelief continues down forth while the other two stare at each other.
Nightmare uses his appendages extending towards Murder as he dodges out of the way. Murder eyes light up as a light blue iris emanates from his left eye socket as he then summons bones firing at Nightmare.
Nightmare turns into slime avoiding the attack as he soon reverts back into himself then trying to attack Murder with his appendages once again. Murder evading the attacks then uses his Gaster Blaster while summoning wall of bones surrounding Nightmare.
Murder immediately fires without hesitation while Nightmare teleports out of the way as the blasts miss their target. Nightmare looks at Murder with an intense expression while Murder looks at him with a confident one.
Nightmare said “Do you really think that you can kill me Murder? I feed off negative emotions and you do not have the power to even harm me in any way so tell me why you continue to oppose me?”
Murder’s answer “No but don’t think I forget when you left me. I have nothing to gain from you, but possibly everything to gain from him. I prefer those odds.”
Nightmare continues asking “Do you really believe that human can provide what you are looking for?”
Murder retorted back “Did you ever provide me with anything that I wanted? Killing monsters and humans is just a boring distraction that you take pleasure on for your own twisted purposes.
I wanted to it to stop and the only reason why I did not was because of you. For the longest time me as well as Horror were afraid of you, but now… There’s finally something worth dying for.”
Nightmare cackled “Dying for a pointless cause. It’s a shame you become so sentimental Murder, but I guess you have fallen under the human’s influence.”
Murder chuckles replying “Maybe, but it’s better than working with you again.”
Nightmare says “So-”
A crack is heard in the floors as blue bones phase through Nightmare soon realising that Murder has contained him or so he assumed. Nightmare looks at Murder commending him for his tactical mind, but Nightmare decides not to move dispersing into slime as he patiently waits.
Murder looks over to his side distracted by Dustbelief chasing down Dream from afar. Error404 and LV turn their attention as well to them looking at the battle.
Dream reverts back into his Sans form while Dustbelief is pursuing him. Dream summons his slimly bow firing negative imbued arrows at Dustbelief as he deflects the incoming shots with his amber sword.
Dream swiftly fires multiple arrows at the same time however, as Dustbelief duals wields two swords deflecting the arrows he is in arm’s length of Dream deciding to strike with one of his blades. Dream teleports behind him firing a multitude of arrows behind Dustbelief.
Dustbelief summons bones behind himself as the arrows stuck onto them. Dream sighs in disappointment however, he is struck below by sharpened bones. Dream turns into slime as he shortly reverts back into his original state as Dustbelief confidently grinned.
Dream standing away from Dustbelief questions “Impressive but tell do you really think that your attacks will affect in any way?”
Dustbelief responds “They don’t need to. You can stop this! Just ask everything not to fight and stop in your pursuit for destruction!”
Dream laughed “Why should we?!? I have conquered many AUs, and I don’t plan to stop now! What about you? What do you get out from all of this?”
Dustbelief replying “A chance to fix everything by stopping you.”
Dream chuckles “Good luck, but you can’t kill me.”
Dustbelief smirks saying “That’s not the point, but we are just talking in circles by this point. Now prepare yourself!”
Dustbelief summons a Gaster Blaster firing it behind Dream however, Dream teleports above Dustbelief as he shoots numerous arrows. Dustbelief fires regular bones cancelling the incoming attack, but a sound is heard behind him as Dream uses his appendences to pierce him.
The attempt is unsuccessful as Dustbelief slices Dream as he disperses into slime once more. Dustbelief jumps back as Dream reconstructed himself scoffing that he let a mortal get the upper hand on him.
Dustbelief remained focused as his orange and turquoise eyes glow facing down the leader without fear, remorse, or compassion. Dream showed the same expression and thoughts as Dustbelief preparing to engage each other again.
Dream immediately fires his arrows as Dustbelief charges at him blocking the incoming projectiles closing distance as he slashes his sword as Dream disperses and reforms once again. Dustbelief summons bones above Dream as they rocketed down to the ground.
Dream teleported out of the way shooting numerous arrows at Dustbelief while Error404 and LV watches from above. Dream notices this as is annoyed, but quickly regains his focus on Dustbelief.
Error404 and LV turn their attention back to Krotos and X-Gaster to see if anything has changed. Krotos continues to evade X-Gaster’s minions attacks avoiding weapons as well as evading violet flames launched in his direction.
Krotos decided to stop toying with X-Gaster’s group no longer interested in prolonging the inevitable. Krotos runs up to X-Gaster as he is confronted by X-Asgore and X-Undyne as they plunge their weapons.
Krotos slides under them avoiding the heather trident and spear as he swiftly gets up continuing onwards. X-Asriel and X-Mettaton try to slice him open slashing their swords targeting his body.
Krotos ducks then uses both of their shoulders as leverage to jump over them while still running to X-Gaster. They try to catch up to him, but Krotos still had to deal with X-Papyrus summoning a ginormous bone wall to block his path.
Krotos finally decided to use magic disappearing from X-Papyrus’ sight and reappearing in front of X-Gaster extending his hand towards his face, but X-Gaster did not flinch. Krotos is about to get his hands on him however, he is suddenly wrapped entangled in cobwebs that wrapped over him.
Krotos violently is pulled back crashing into the ground then forced to stand up as the cobwebs wrapped around him pulled his arms and legs. X-Gaster looks down on the human then summoning hands with sharp spikes.
Four hands launched as they struck the hands and feet of Krotos as blood spurts out from his body. Holes that are bloodied are visible through his hands and feet as he screeches in pain.
Krotos gritting his teeth looks up at X-Gaster with a hateful look of vengeance, but soon looks behind him seeing X-Muffet is the one who tied him up. The bone wall is unsummoned as all who were behind surround Krotos pointing their weapons at him.
X-Papyrus puts his scythe around the neck while X-Undyne points her spear to his chest. X-Asgore puts his trident close to his knee while X-Asriel puts his sword near the other knee. X-Gaster standing beside X-Toriel and X-Alphys a reptilian scientist wearing a white lab coat all look at the human.
X-Gaster announced “You are impressive to say the least learning most abilities from the Multiverse however, when challenged against Ink you were completely defenceless against him.
You have great adaptability and although you have gained impressive endurance. Your one weakness is an attack you have never seen before. Luckily, I just have the person you do not know too much about which out of the Multiverse is Muffet.
You may have disappeared in the Anti-Void since Ink could no longer monitor you, but I do not forget a person’s weakness. You have been most entertaining ever since you existed.”
Krotos stutters “You will… You will never feel whole. Do you… Do you really believe that power that you wield brings joy… To anyone around you?”
X-Gaster’s reply “Oh I knew you were trying to steal my Overwrite ability. Why else would you make promises you cannot keep? Although I could not see what you were doing here or when you locked down AUs with your special ability at least I knew the promises you made with the people of Outertale.
Ink was helpful since he could still enter the Omega Timeline without CORE’s help. You thought you could use the strings that Error!Frisk has given you in order that I am forced to give you the Overwrite button.
Your attempt was admirable, but foolish, nonetheless. I will create the universe for the best of others and starting with you I will end the Multiverse. First you will witness your failure and everyone you have brought here. Will perish.”
X-Gaster turns around looking behind him while Krotos watches with him. Error404 and LV turn their attention to with them as they look at Outertale Papyrus and Frisk going against Killer.
Killer goes against Outertale Papyrus attacking him with an onslaught of strikes while Outertale Papyrus blocks using a bone in his hand. Killer summons sharp bones aiming it Outertale Papyrus while he dodges the attack.
Killer tries to attack him once again slashing at his opponent as Outertale Papyrus blocks it, but he stumbles back landing hardly on the ground. Outertale Frisk uses their jetpack in order to be in front of Outertale Papyrus as Killer aims for him.
Outertale Frisk uses their wooden knife to clash blades with Killer, but he soon went on the offensive on Outertale Frisk. Killer keeps pressing the attack while Outertale Frisk kept blocking the strikes however, they are starting to become fatigued.
Outertale Papyrus slowly gets back up from the ground seeing his Frisk being overrun. Outertale Frisk slowly loses their grip on the blade as Killer swiftly disarms them as the wooden knife drops to the ground.
Outertale Papyrus runs over to them however, Killer soon slashes the neck of Outertale Frisk as blood gushes out. Outertale Papyrus could not believe it as he failed to protect his friend as he quickly conjured stars directing them at Killer.
Killer teleports out of the way as Outertale Papyrus catches Outertale Frisk from falling down on the ground. Outertale Papyrus dead worried about his friend did not know what to do.
Outertale Papyrus shouts “Frisk!!!”
Outertale Frisk becomes weak unable to walk however, looks at their Papyrus with a fearful expression.
Killer laughs manically enjoying seeing them suffer. Outertale Papyrus ignores him grabbing Outertale Frisk’s hand and with the other hand Outertale Frisk places it on his skull. Outertale Frisk is afraid to die as their red Soul appears starting to crack while Outertale Papyrus could watch.
Outertale Papyrus cried “I’m so sorry… I could not… I could not protect you… and I don’t know what to do!!!”
Meanwhile Outertale Undyne could hear their voices knowing that they are in trouble. Outertale Undyne decides to abandon the battle ignoring Bill Cipher Sans as she starts towards in the direction, she heard them.
That was a mistake as Bill Cipher Sans takes the opportunity to summon his Gaster Blasters above her shortly firing. Outertale Undyne just realised what is above her however, it’s too late as the blast connected.
Outertale Undyne screams in agony as the blast continues to fire upon as Bill Cipher Sans watches her torment with amusement. During this Asriel uses his sword to attack Insane Papyrus while Chara struck numerous knifes at the back of Insane Papyrus.
Asriel gains some distance however, Insane Papyrus conjure a multitude of sharp bones as he screeches. The bones fire as they launch at Asriel as quickly notices that it is too many for Asriel to overcome.
Asriel summons stars trying to cancel the attack.
The bones broke the stars aiming for Asriel as he could not teleport or avoid the attack. Asriel terrified of being pierced by the bones steps back as the bones reach closer to him. Chara terrified of losing their brother immediately teleports in front of Asriel as the sharpened pierce their body.
Asriel watches as he cries “CHARA!!!”
Chara summoning all the strength they have teleports both them and their brother away from Insane Papyrus. The damaged skeleton laughs in delight while both Asriel and Chara are away from the battlefield for now.
Asriel holds Chara in his arms as their body bleeds staining their green hoodie with a dull red. Chara looks into their brother’s eyes as they hold a handout as Asriel took their hand while he is crying witnessing their death again.
Asriel stuttered “I thought I could… I thought I could save you… I didn’t want you to protect me again! Why did you… Why did you do that?”
Chara slowly answered “Because you’re my… You’re my brother Asriel… I wouldn’t let you die again because of me… (Coughs blood) Please just run… Save yourself.”
Asriel shouted while crying “No!!! No not again!!! I will not abandon again Chara never!!!”
Chara’s Crimson Soul appeared as it started cracking as their determination faded.
Asriel says “No… No…”
During this the Horrortale skeleton brothers still fought Insanity as neither are getting the advantage. Horror and Insanity still clashed with their weapons while Horrortale Papyrus supports Horror using long range attacks.
Insanity’s excitement grew and as Horror misses to strike Insanity, he punches Horror in the skull sending him flying backwards losing his axe as well as him crashing on the ground.
Horrortale Papyrus is about to help his brother up, but then he emanated blue aura as he come hurling towards Insanity. Horrortale Papyrus could not do much as a skeletal hand is placed on his skull as he planted in the ground.
Horrortale Papyrus groans in pain, but Insanity stands above him as he then uses his Papyrus skull starting to bash it on Horror’s brother. Insanity repeated bludgeoned Horrortale Papyrus as his skull cracks as muffled tears come out of Horror’s brother.
Horror slowly gets up as he then notices Insanity harming his brother, but before he could anything Insanity smashed his skull into Horrortale Papyrus as the skeleton’s skull broke resulting in him turn to dust.
Horror in wrathful shock screamed “PAPYRUS!!! NO!!!”
Insanity laughed treading on the dust of Horror’s brother.
Horror is in disbelief that his brother has been brutally slaughtered by his former co-worker. Tears come out of Horror raising both fists and smashing it down on the ground furious at himself that he could not protect the one he holds most dear.
Horror shouted “DAMN IT!!! DAMN IT ALL!!! PAPYRUS!!!”
Horror screamed into the air as blood curling howl is heard in the crimson sky. Insanity slowly walks towards Horror enjoying Horror’s despair as well as agony. LV and Error404 then brought their attention to Murder and Nightmare.
Murder looks at the battle between Dustbelief and Dream distracted from his opponent that is contained in blue bones. Nightmare deciding to finish what he started moves as he disperses back into slime shortly reverting back into himself out of confinement from Murder.
Murder just realised Nightmare escaped, but it’s too late as Nightmare uses his appendages to grab Murder’s vertebrae holding the skeleton in mid-air. Nightmare could end Murder’s life, but he wanted to torture him in his final moments.
Murder shouts “Hey Dream look what I have!”
Dream as well as Dustbelief turns their attention to Nightmare. Dream is pleased while Dustbelief immediately runs after Nightmare as he decided to free his brother from Nightmare’s grasp.
Dustbelief yells “Brother!!!”
Nightmare widely grins as this is what he wanted as Dustbelief is distracted Dream immediately plunges multiple arrows in Dustbelief’s body. Dustbelief gasps as arrows pierced his body as he kneels down as he puts his hands and knees onto the ground violently.
Murder then uses bones to cut Nightmare’s appendages teleporting beside Dustbelief. Murder then places a hand on his shoulder plate as he teleports himself and Dustbelief away just as arrows fired at their location.
Both Murder and Dustbelief escape from the Dreamtale brothers for now as Murder catches Dustbelief in his arms before he collapsed to the floor. Murder turns him upright as Dustbelief lies gently on Murder.
Murder asks “Why did you do that? It was my mistake you did not have to save me!”
Dustbelief replies “Do you really think… (coughs) I let my brother die again? I would not let that happen not again.”
Dustbelief stars spilling dust as his Soul appears cracking as Murder did not know what to do as he could only watch. Murder sighs trying for Dustbelief to have peace in his final moments, but shortly Dustbelief offers him his amber sword.
Dustbelief said “Take it!”
Murder asks “Why?”
Dustbelief demands Murder “Just do it!”
Murder takes the amber blade as suddenly Dustbelief uses both of his hands to grab the arm of Murder as he willingly plunged himself into his blade breaking his own Soul while Murder holds the killing weapon.
Murder surprised taken aback on why Dustbelief would kill himself, but Dustbelief smiled as he is turning to dust at peace with his decision. Murder could not understand why he would do such a thing.
Dustbelief’s final words “This should help you… Survive brother… Survive…”
Dustbelief turns into dust as the other amber blade rolls onto the floor. Murder drops his amber blade as then two beings are behind him. Dream and Nightmare look at him believing they have already won.
Nightmare says, “Your brother lookalike killed himself.”
Dream added on “He must have known you neither him could defeat us and now you’re all alone Murder.”
Error404 and LV turn their attention to Toriel and Asgore running away from Six Bones as he continuously pursues them with waves of bones. Ink and Error battled evenly with neither getting the upper hand which leaves back to.
X-Gaster turns around starting down Krotos as he looked up with a spiteful expression. X-Mettaton stands beside X-Alphys while X-Muffet tightens her grip not letting Krotos have any leeway.
X-Gaster announcing “Your insurgence has failed and now they will suffer until their last breath. You have failed them and now it’s time that I collect my prize.”
X-Gaster summoned a hand with a spike while Krotos did not falter his gaze at X-Gaster and neither did he. Krotos until his final breaths defied X-Gaster although tied up he did not lose his resolve.
X-Gaster mentions “Don’t worry I’ll bring you back with Overwrite and we can start dissecting you see what makes you truly special. Just know you shall forever be the last protector or AUs that has failed the Multiverse. Any last words before you’re mine?”
Krotos said “You’ll lose even on the moon.”
X-Gaster chuckled at that comment as he then launched the hand plunging its spike into the forehead of Krotos. Then Krotos neck and legs are cut as the spear pierces his chest. The neck of Krotos leans back as his body becomes motionless as X-Muffet is the only holding him up.
X-Gaster stood in victory as he turns around as he is about to witness everyone else’s defeat. X-Asgore, X-Asriel, X-Undyne, and X-Papyrus stands beside him watching along.
X-Muffet continued to hold Krotos up as his body sways while Error404 and LV look down at the corpse of Krotos. Meanwhile in the Omega Timeline X-Chara and CORE look away as they can’t bear watching that site, so they turn the screen off.
Opening their eyes X-Chara states “Well that’s it huh? Gaster wins and me and everyone else will never be free. GOD DAMMIT!!!”
CORE responded “It’s not over yet-”
X-Chara interrupted “How is it not over?!? The leader is dead, half the team has died, and the other half are about to be killed as well! Tell me what hope is there?!?”
Back in the universe as LV and Error404 looks down at the dead body of Krotos. LV firmly believed that Nightmare and Dream as well as X-Gaster has won this battle without any doubt.
LV says “Well that’s that. The kid is dead along with half his team. It’s well beyond over.”
Error whilst battling Ink notices the corpse as Krotos as well becoming annoyed that he alone now has to do his dirty work. Ink also noticed the corpse however, Error summons crimson bones pushing him back gaining some distance.
Error scoffs “So much for that. Do I have to do everything by myself?”
Back with LV and Error404 levitating in the air a chuckle is heard from Error404 as LV is confused. Error404 turns his gaze to LV while he is confused why he is chuckling.
Error404 stating while he chuckles “You really haven’t been paying attention, have you?”
LV asks “What did I miss? The kid’s dead and everyone else on his team is about to die.”
Error404 replied “If that’s all you see then you haven’t paid attention at all. Two humans dying near the hands of monsters, Dustbelief killing himself while Murder holds his weapon, and Krotos picked you to be on his team except me. Do you understand what I am telling you?”
LV then looking at the rest of the team then soon realising what Error404 had said. LV laughed now seeing the bigger picture as Error404 helped LV to understand what the human from WiseTale has planned.
Back in the Omega Timeline CORE stating “He manipulated everyone in the palm of his hand. He placed everyone exactly how he wanted and even if things did not work out it was all over for them in the first place.
I tried to reason with him to let the Multiverse go then what he is about do. Winning nor losing was part of his plan it never was. The Multiverse might be saved, but a terrible price must be paid in order to achieve it and I wish no one will have to go through what he is about to put them.”
X-Chara’s question “Why do you keep referring Krotos to him? You know his name don’t you.”
CORE answers “That’s because he-”
In the universe where Krotos lays dead as both LV and Error404 look at X-Gaster. LV stopped laughing about to witness the preparations that Krotos has planted.
Error404 stated “This war is far from over.”
Chapter 6: Clash of the Voids
Summary:
(Part 5 of the original story)
Chapter Text
As the crimson sky stands still as the chains did not flinch X-Gaster and his followers look out to see the remnants of the Insurgence that Krotos led. Error404 and LV look down at X-Gaster confidently as shortly X-Gaster notices them wondering why they are staring at him and not the battlefield.
In the Omega Timeline X-Chara and CORE are having a conversation, but X-Chara is confused why CORE kept calling Krotos he or him. X-Frisk listens as well wondering why CORE does not say his name.
CORE reveals “That’s because he is not Krotos at all!”
X-Chara says aloud “What? What do you mean he is not Krotos? You just told me that it is his name!”
CORE continues “That’s because he wants you to see it as him. I had to keep it a secret because there were still eyes in the Omega Timeline until he got everyone there. Now since he has everyone in his grasp there is no way out no matter what anyone does.”
X-Frisk questioned “Not Krotos? If that human is not the one X-Gaster desired, then who is he?”
CORE mutters “He’s not even human anymore.”
In the crimson universe X-Gaster just received from X-Frisk that Krotos is not who he says. X-Gaster wonders if that is not the boy, he is looking for then who has he caught? X-Muffet soon looks at the pierced body of what supposed to be Krotos.
Suddenly the body of Krotos glitched soon revealing that is body has been repaired or not damaged at all. Krotos tilts his neck up then grabbing the cobwebs that tied him tightening his grip as X-Muffet begins to struggle.
X-Gaster quickly turns around as the human posing as Krotos forces X-Muffet into their air as she crashes down in front of X-Gaster. The human glitches again unchaining himself from the cobwebs as X-Gaster sees no wounds nor damage on his clothing only seeing a text above him ‘NO EFFECT.’
X-Gaster followers turn around as X-Mettaton charges for Krotos igniting his Lightsabre striking downwards. Krotos catches the blade of plasma with his bare hands as X-Mettaton is in disbelief. Krotos then headbutts X-Mettaton releasing his grip as X-Mettaton tumbles backwards.
X-Gaster’s followers are about to attack, but X-Gaster puts a hand up notifying them to stand down for now. X-Gaster loses his smile frowning at whoever he sees before him.
X-Gaster declares “You shouldn’t even be standing! Nor alive, so tell me what you are?!”
The human says, “What am I?”
The human laughs “Has it not be obvious from the start? For someone to be my variation you are quite blinded from the truth.”
X-Gaster demanded “Variation? What are you talking about? I demand to know an answer!”
The human’s answer “Oh come on for someone who claimed to keep an eye on the boy you have missed a lot of details. Error!Frisk teleported him to the Anti-Void as he commanded. Krotos was about to lose all his memories, but for being in the Anti-Void for an extended amount of time what do you think happened to him?”
A revelation comes across X-Gaster knowing that Error!Sans was once Geno from Aftertale ever since CORE revealed that to him. X-Gaster soon realises that Krotos became an Error as well, but it usually resulted in the being losing most if not all their memories. X-Gaster expression surprise is visibly shown as well as his confusion.
The human continued “Now you’re getting it. Krotos in that moment of turning into an Error crashed accidently transporting him to the headquarters of Dream and Nightmare which inevitably a fight brewed.
Krotos lost all his memories of who he was, but his skills never left him as he lasted against Dream’s empire. Luckily for Dream he shortly let the human join into his empire using the boy’s amnesia to his advantage and became quite an asset at the time.”
X-Gaster takes the latest information processing it as it made sense lining up his disappearance however, a question still lingered. Where is he now since he knows that neither Dream has him nor whoever that stands in front of him.
X-Gaster asked “Where is he then? You are not him and neither Dream has a glitched human in his headquarters either. You’re telling me he vanished a second time without anyone’s notice?”
The human’s reply “Error!Frisk helped him disappear ever since they battled in a Undertale Genocide Timeline. In all places of the Multiverse, it was that one. Error!Frisk or as Error knows them as either Abomination Zero or what Krotos called them Zerror. They used their Gaster Blaster to launch them into the CORE of that world resulting him to be trapped in the Void.”
X-Gaster mentioned “If that’s true then he is shattered across time and space. Only pieces of him will be found in that universe not even that since his memories have all but faded. That does not explain why you are here neither why you look like him even though you are discoloured.”
The human’s response “CORE might have been misleading when they said I am not Krotos. Well, that is true, but what you see is the body of him or is a part of me at least. Did you forget that he was not the only one in the Void? I mean after all…”
The human puts his arms behind his back as he widely smirks.
The human continued “I wouldn’t have come back if it wasn’t for him.”
X-Gaster in that moment realises looking at the human’s clothing. An oversized charcoal coat only revealing his dark boots, a pale white jumper as well as pale neck warmer. The darkened hair while displaying a sunset and night-like eyes only a monster would have with a large amount of L.O.V.E.
X-Gaster says aloud “Gaster…”
The human jumps up and down with glee confirming X-Gaster’s thoughts, but this angers him seeing a variation that looks like the human he is hunting down. X-Gaster grunts as his followers become cautious around his opponent.
“Finally!” Gaster shouted with excitement.
Gaster then stops returning his arms behind his back still grinning with delight as he gazes at X-Gaster. The glowing burning flare as well as the cold frozen glare makes X-Gaster uncomfortable staring back with his violet and crimson eyes.
Gaster mentioned “I must thank the human if he was still around. He sacrificed everything just to get me back since he wanted his friend to send him into the CORE anyway to find me. Even with our differences back then I never even thought he would sacrifice his mind, body, and Soul just to save the Multiverse from its destruction whilst getting his revenge at the same time.”
X-Gaster asked “How are you even here? The human’s body should have dispersed in the Void.”
Gaster answers “That human was perseverant even he did not have a clue what was going on he was determined to stay alive. Luckily, I got there in time as we merged our Souls together with a handshake and all his memories came flooding in.”
X-Gaster’s question “Which Gaster are you? I know there isn’t only one in Undertale so which one of them are you?”
Gaster mentions “To some I am the mad scientist desperate to help the King in any way I can. In others I am the caring father to both Sans and Papyrus before I tragically fell to my own creation. To Krotos I was his obstacle, but the forgotten scientist who sacrificed himself to save his King. Which Gaster I am I do not truly know, nor does it truly matter.”
X-Gaster tells him “I am the real Gaster! You’re nothing more than a copycat.”
Gaster’s reply “Oh yes your narcissistic behaviour. You believe yourself to be the original, yet you are so much less than that. Your ambitions take control of you and if I remember ‘Emotions distract you.’ Do they not?
Emotions is what made you. You call yourself a Gaster however you pose as a God seeking for perfection to create the one perfect universe. The problem is even you do not know what is perfect for you making them all suffer for it!
I despise you. You want to destroy everything in your path just to satisfy your pathetic desires by overwriting the original universe and destroying the Multiverse. You do not see the beauty of so many universes created by beings we will never know all with their different histories and cultures.
Do you want to destroy all of that to just to create one universe for the best of others? No matter which Gaster I am we all hate you to destroy everything that has been created and I will use my final breathes to make sure you will never harm another universe again!”
X-Gaster chuckles replying “You speak so boldly yet half your team is dead. Do you really think you can take on me as well as all the other powers in the Multiverse who will be joining me soon.”
Gaster pointing out “For a Gaster you really are slow. If you overwrite Undertale you will destroy every branch that is connected to it. Every AU that is connected to Undertale’s history and future will be eradicated, but what do I expect from a variation who is short sighted.
For the team I created however, you need to be paying more attention. If you are truly the original Gaster then you should know that even a mortal, like I used to be, has the power to change the tide in the direst of situations.”
Error404 and LV look upon Outertale Papyrus crying whilst holding Outertale Frisk as Killer laughs in delight. In that moment Papyrus would not give in as he finds his resolve.
Outertale Papyrus spoke “No… No… I the Great Papyrus will save everyone including you Frisk. I will not be shaken since everyone’s lives are at stake, but I need your help. Please human let me save you.”
Outertale Papyrus reveals his monster Soul while holding Outertale Frisk in their arms as their red Soul started to shatter. Outertale Papyrus looks at the human holding their Soul as they nod back accepting what is about to happen.
Outertale Papyrus absorbs their Soul the only way he could save Outertale Frisk. Killer then soon realising what they are doing charges at Outertale Papyrus swinging his knife down trying to end his life before the tides of battle turn.
During this as Bill Cipher Sans continued to blast Outertale Undyne enjoying inflicting pain on her he then experiences a shockwave. The Gaster Blasters are shattered as the blast is repelled as a blinding light beams up into the sky to Bill Cipher’s surprise.
Asriel holding Chara in his arms saw their Soul cracking as tears continue to stream down his face, but in one moment of defiance he would not let Chara die again. Asriel’s Soul appears as he then grabs Chara’s Soul as they fuse into one being as Asriel’s body started to change.
Meanwhile Horror kneeling as Insanity walks towards the broken skeleton after witnessing the death of his brother. Horror looks up at him with a hateful expression.
Insanity is now at arm’s length from Horror as he is about to brutally annihilate him as Horror did not try to fight back. Suddenly a skeletal hand is placed on Horror’s shoulder as he tilts his head seeing a former member of Team Void LV.
LV asks “You haven’t given up, have you? I will do you a favour and get your revenge, so I suggest we fuse Horror. What do you say?”
Insanity is about to attack LV, but he sends Insanity flying using regular bones just to gain distance between them. Horror no longer in his state of apathy gains a burning hatred for Insanity promising to himself that he will avenge his brother.
Horror replied, “Let’s go kill that son of a bitch!”
LV smiled saying “That’s the spirit.”
LV merges his body with Horror as dark crimson silhouettes merge into one as Insanity shatters the bones targeting both LV and Horror. Insanity summons waves of sharp bones aiming for the fused being about to pierce the fused skeleton.
Error404 alone in the sky then turns his attention to Murder and the Dreamtale brothers. Nightmare readies his appendages about to strike down Murder, but then two amber swords slice both him and his brother turning into dark slime.
Dream and Nightmare reform gaining distance from Murder as they see two levitating amber swords beside him. Murder stands up turning towards the Dreamtale brothers as his blue and red iris in his left eye socket flares up.
Dream and Nightmare shortly notice that Murder’s other eye socket glows both a sunset and turquoise flame soon realising that Murder has gained more execution points increasing his L.O.V.E. Dream summons a button checking Murder’s stats.
The narrator revealed ‘Sans from Dusttale.
* L.O.V.E: 40
* ATK and DFC are doubled.
* Determined to stay alive.’
Murder smirks as the amber swords continued to levitate in the air while Dream and Nightmare are annoyed, they did not kill him before the war. Murder’s eyes flared as his all of his fears faded staring down his former bosses.
Murder says aloud to himself “Thank you brother.”
Three blinding beams erupted in the sky as well as dull ruby beam ignites as X-Gaster turns around to see the pillars of light. Killer tries to slaughter Outertale Papyrus, but a blinding light and a gust of wind stops him in his tracks.
The beam that surrounds Outertale Papyrus vanishes as Killer looks upon a tall skeleton his eyes sockets scorching the colours of a crimson sun staring down Killer viciously.
Meanwhile Bill Cipher Sans after witnessing the beam of light as it evaporates in the air revealing Outertale Undyne with heavy starry armour as her eyes shine gold. Outertale Undyne smirks holding her starry spear starring at the black and gold lookalike of Sans the skeleton.
Insane Papyrus follows the beam of light leading him to Asriel witnessing his recent look. Asriel becomes a full-grown adult as his horns extended which included his clothing as well. Wearing an adult sized green hoodie, a long rainbow scarf whilst summoning a longer sword as he looks at Insane Papyrus.
Insane Papyrus notes that Asriel is as tall as him, but he chuckles with delight since he cannot wait to face his new challenge. Chara lives on inside Asriel while Frisk lives on inside Outertale Papyrus as the human souls are inside the monster Souls supporting their determination.
The crimson beam fades away as Insanity is pushed back by the gust however, he did not lose his footing as he firmly stood on the ground. Insanity witnesses a skeleton wearing a violet jacket with gold and grey fur along with pale t-shirt as well as pale coloured shorts.
The skeleton’s skull is cracked as his left eye socket bleeds red while his right eye socket emanates a cold blue flame. Black markings are below the eye sockets of the fused monster as he summons two axes holding them both in his skeletal hands.
The fused monster speaks “Call me LV!Horror Insanity. Now shall continue what we left off?”
Insanity replies “It does not matter what you are called. You’ll die the same way.”
LV!Horror spoken “We shall see.”
X-Gaster as well as Error404 witnessed the transformations as Error, Ink, Toriel, Asgore, as well as Six Bones noticed the transformations as well. Far away behind X-Gaster his counterpart continues to grin widely.
Gaster mentioned “Even the weakest beings in the Multiverse can gain such power through their suffering and sacrifice. It was no accident that I chose them as everything is going according to my plan and spoiler alert no matter what you do you will not see it coming.”
X-Gaster turns back around to Gaster responding “All you have done is prolonged the inevitable. They will still fall, and you will fight all alone, so tell me Gaster. What power do you possess that has the ability to stop my overwrite or from me using it?”
Gaster’s answer “All shall be revealed in time, but back to the question of what am I. Do you trust your sight X-Gaster?”
X-Gaster’s question “Why are you asking that?”
Gaster notified “Well you see once I got out of the Void, I went to an AU named Glitchtale. Bête Noire showed me her Soul’s abilities making people see their worst nightmare and funnily enough I have that ability thanks to this Soul.”
Gaster reveals his Soul as a dark grey heart is inside an upside white heart as colours blur into one another. The Soul glitches but is clearly visible to see the ever-changing colours floating into one another.
Gaster continuing his explanation whilst holding his Soul in his hand “You know with both my monster Soul and the human’s Soul I have all the traits and powers of every individual Soul.
Determination, Bravery, Justice, Kindness, Patience, Integrity, as well as Perseverance. Luckily, I discovered that with my monster Soul I can reverse engineer the Souls both you and Nightmare created.
I can even use their negative traits that you might consider to be unnatural. I can use Irresolution, Fear, Vengeance, Cruelty, Impatience, Dishonesty, and Apathy to harm my opponent if they ever choose to use one of these negative emotions.”
X-Gaster asks “And what does this have to do with trusting my sight?”
Gaster reveals “Regarding Bête Noire’s Soul making people see the worst nightmare imagine if it is reversed.”
X-Gaster is not getting what Gaster is saying believing he is talking in riddles just to mess with him.
Gaster continued “Since I can reverse engineer the infused Soul instead of people seeing their worst nightmares, I can construct an image of my design to make a person confident in what they see. Using that assurance, I can make anyone believe what they see so tell me again X-Gaster do you trust in your sight?”
A hand is placed on X-Gaster’s shoulder as he tilts his head to see Gaster behind him, but then vanishing as he looks to Gaster where he stood. Gaster points to his eyes specifically to the colour of his sunset in his iris.
Gaster carries on “Bravery. A Soul that gives the user confidence but mixed with the powers of fear can create a hallucination the opponent believes to see while the one controlling that power can create any hallucination using that confidence.
The reason I ask that you trust your sight is because you have not been fighting with me all that time. You were fighting someone, but that’s another ability from the negative Souls you have created.”
X-Gaster stated “You talk too much. I am supposed to be impressed how you monologue about your plans in order for me to stop them? If you want to impress me then show me your true power, then using pathetic hallucinations to misguide me.”
Meanwhile in the Omega Timeline X-Chara and CORE!Frisk reopened the screen seeing Gaster and X-Gaster while X-Frisk joins them seeing the events unfold. After CORE revealing that it is not Krotos X-Chara wanted to know who that being is.
X-Chara is shocked to see Gaster standing on his feet after being pierced by multiple weapons. They saw Gaster’s smile which disturbs them making them uncomfortable as they saw the same smile with X-Gaster.
Back in the crimson universe as Gaster lets go holding his arms behind his back. Gaster’s eyeballs then blackens as both of his iris’ are engulfed.
Gaster says “So be it. I will let you be the first to witness into what I have ascended. Everyone else had their little transformations.
Now… It’s my turn.”
Gaster’s body violently shakes as his human fingers start to turn grey. Glitches appears around him as a big cut sliced above his head going down to his right eye as blood gushes out from him. A second cut appears below his left eyes creating two straight marks upon his face.
Gaster’s human mouth cuts open making a wider smile as blood pours down. Gaster’s skin starts to deform melting as his becomes slimy as texts of Error appears all around him. Close to Gaster’s eyeballs, multiple texts of Error appear.
Gaster’s coat and boots become dark grey as the white jumper as well as the neck warmer transform to light grey. The body of Gaster becomes sharper resembling more of a skeleton rather than a human.
Gaster’s hair transforms into the darkest shade of grey while his skin turns a pale grey. The blood darkens to black as the texts of Errors change from black to white constantly as the glitches stopped.
As Error and Ink battled clashing their blasters and bones, they soon realise the disfigured body of Gaster. Error and Ink for a moment turn their attention to him as Error is shocked while Ink looks out of curiosity.
Error404 looks down at Gaster seeing an anomaly he has never witnessed before. X-Gaster looks at the being with disgust and unease looking upon his slimy appearance. In the Omega Timeline X-Chara puts a hand upon their mouth as CORE puts both of them on their mouth stepping back in shock.
X-Chara looks away as X-Frisk looks at the being with disgust while CORE starts to cry. A horrid sight to witness looked upon with intrigue, disgust, or horror yet it existed.
Ink says aloud “What-”
Error404 spoke “The-”
Error added “Hell-”
X-Gaster finished “Are you?”
Gaster’s voice echoes “A CORE, An Error, An Amalgamation. A glitched being fused with both a destabilised monster and human Soul exiting the abyss. The best way to describe me is not by explaining what I am. If you want the name Gaster than by all means have it. That name has no use to me anymore.
I am all things Gaster, but if you want to describe in one word, I will give you a name to summarise who and what I am.
I am CORE!Error.”
X-Gaster declared “It does not matter what you call yourself! Show me what power you hold if you are not all talk!”
CORE!Error responds “Then it’s time I even the odds.”
CORE!Error’s Soul appears as multiple colours of mist spread outwards. A lime smoke constructs itself displaying a female human adult transparent to the naked eye. The lime outline shows the tutu, facial features, eyes, and hair standing firmly on the ground showing her wicked smile.
A turquoise mist is beside the female phantom as it is another human female adult wearing a tank top as well as leggings. The turquoise outline creates her features showing her disgruntled look upon the X-Tale residents standing by the lime phantom.
A silver line constructs itself to another human female wearing a jacket as well as shorts and slippers. The phantom’s long scruffy hair is transparent as her facial features gives a bored expression to all that she sees. The being holds a transparent knife in her hands holding it lightly.
Next to the silver ghost an indigo mist forms itself to see another woman wearing a blazer with a loose tie as well as formal trousers and shoes to go along. The being has messy transparent hair also, on her transparent finger violet strings are wrapped around them as she gives a grim smirk.
Gold lines start to form into a human male adult wearing a cowboy attire as he expresses rage. Immediately he grabs his see-through revolver holding it firmly as his thumb points upwards. A hand is placed upon his shoulder seeing a brown outline.
The cowboy sees another female woman wearing a brown apron with long messy hair giving a worried expression to the cowboy. The woman holds a frying pan in her hand trying to comfort him, but he just looks silently away facing his opponents instead.
Finally, a dark grey ghost appears walking then standing beside CORE!Error. The being has skeletal features wearing a scientist lab coat with formal trousers and shoes. The skull is visibly shown, but the smile is replaced by a frown with a stern expression.
Back in the Omega Timeline.
X-Chara asks to CORE “What the hell is that?!?”
CORE wipes their tears responding “That’s… That’s Gaster. I… I knew it was him ever since I saw him exiting from the Void even though he lied to me. I cannot believe what Krotos had to go through no one in the Multiverse has ever become both an Error and what I am without losing their mind or their entire identity.
Even if he managed to escape the void all he would be is a standing husk as that being would not be able to move, speak, or do anything since they no longer have a mind. Gaster while possessing his body has full control since Krotos… no longer exists.”
X-Chara sarcastically says “Oh great another Gaster that wants the best of others. It doesn’t matter which side you are on it’s one of two evils you have to choose!”
CORE’s reply “You don’t understand. I can see him in the Void being ripped apart, but he kept that from me until now because he revealed his true form. Gaster wants to protect the Multiverse not out of desire for revenge like Krotos, but to save the history and futures of each AU. That does not mean he is a saint; he will do anything to protect it. Just like Krotos ironically.”
X-Frisk’s question “If that’s Gaster then who is that?”
X-Frisk points towards the skeleton with a science lab coat surrounded by transparent humans.
CORE’s answer “They are echoes. Spirits with no mind, but past reflections of who they once were now fighting against your family and friends. They are the humans from WiseTale.”
X-Gaster receives that information from X-Frisk looking at the phantoms knowing their alternative universe’s name. X-Gaster is intrigued however, seeing a phantom version of Gaster rather than Krotos.
X-Gaster asked “WiseTale so that is where you are all from but tell me CORE!Error before we start. Who is that stands beside you?”
CORE!Error’s response “Let me show you.”
In a split-second X-Gaster hallucinates seeing a human instead wearing the lab coat with long brown hair and night-like eyes. He stared viciously at X-Gaster while standing beside him he sees Gaster wearing his charcoal coat with his skeletal features as he glows with his sunset eyes.
They stand together against him once enemies now they are allies with one common enemy. The hallucination ends as X-Gaster is pleased smirking with nothing else left to be said. X-Tale stands ready while WiseTale prepares to face their final enemies.
Both X-Gaster and CORE!Error said at the time “Go!”
Both sides rush towards each other beginning their warfare.
In the chained universe Outertale Papyrus charges at Killer launching his weapon at him. Killer ducks the large bone about to strike Outertale Papyrus, but Outertale Papyrus caught his wrist as he holds Killer into the air.
Killer tries to struggle, but Outertale Papyrus uses the bone to strike at the knife shattering it as Killer no longer has a weapon. Outertale Papyrus lets go off him as he teleports back then summoning sharp bones launching at his opponent.
Outertale Papyrus uses stars to cancel the attack as Killer is running out of options before he is entirely depleted of magic. Outertale Papyrus as his eyes scorch has no intention of harming Killer or anyone, but to delay him or them as long as possible.
Killer was a fool to let them live and not striking them down when he had the chance. Outertale Papyrus did nothing only standing there until Killer makes a move. Killer chuckles as he only has one trick up his sleeve.
Killer blurted out “Now you’ve done it!”
Outertale Papyrus declaring “It’s over! Stand down and you will not be harmed and Krotos might be generous. You killed enough, so stand down otherwise I’ll force you to stand down!”
Killer’s question “Is that a threat?”
Outertale Papyrus corrects Killer “No that’s a warning!”
Killer chuckled “Time to end this!”
A giant black slimy skull appears as it fires towards Outertale Papyrus rocketing towards his position. A ruby phantom holds the hand of Outertale Papyrus showing a child with crimson starry attire. Outertale Papyrus looks down seeing Outertale Frisk as they smile as he smiles back.
Outertale Papyrus lets go of the hand turning his attention to Killer as he summons a ginormous levitating skull with scoring eyes. Both Outertale Papyrus and the ruby phantom extend their hand as starry beam clashes with Killer’s.
The beams roar as Killer uses every ounce of magic summoning sharp bones targeting Outertale Papyrus however, he conjures stars cancelling the attack. Killer’s beam gets closer and closer to Outertale Papyrus.
The phantom uses all their determination to push the beam back while Outertale Papyrus focuses on cancelling the incoming attacks. The push is not enough as Killer’s Gaster Blaster pushes the beam back towards Outertale Papyrus using his determination to end his skeleton brother lookalike’s life.
They continue to clash beams as gusts of wind ravage around them although Outertale Papyrus is on the losing end. Both he and the ruby ghost stays determined to survive.
During this Insanity charges at LV!Horror punching him mercilessly as he stood there taking the hits. Insanity punches his skull, but LV!Horror is unphased as he chuckles as well as Insanity.
LV!Horror then immediately uses both his axes cutting Insanity swinging above and below cracking the bones each strike is thrusted upon him. Insanity also giggles then elbows LV!Horror’s skull as he stepped back.
Insanity punches targeting his skull however, LV!Horror drops his axes catching Insanity’s hand. LV!Horror then headbutts his skull into Insanity’s using his super speed to swiftly stand behind him kicking him in his back.
In a blink of an eye, he grabs his axes then slashes at Insanity once again. LV!Horror using his supersonic speed to his advantage circles Insanity cutting and dicing him on every end he could strike.
Insanity tries to strike back, but more cracks appear on his body as his clothes starts to shred from the attacks. Like a cyclone LV!Horror forces Insanity to kneel on the ground as his jacket is torn to shreds displaying his crippling body in public view.
Insanity looks up at LV!Horror as he stands holding his two axes looking arrogantly down at Insanity. Looking up Insanity laughs manically enjoying the battle as bones target at LV!Horror’s side.
LV!Horror uses one of his axes to shatter the sharpen bones, but behind him a bloodied Gaster Blaster is summoned as the beam charges firing at LV!Horror. Teleporting behind Insanity missing the beam he strikes down at Insanity, but with a hand he caught the axe.
Sharpened bones come forth out from the ground piercing LV!Horror, but it did little to no effect. With the other axe he breaks the bones whilst he regenerated himself as Insanity teleports away gaining distance between LV!Horror.
Insanity twitches looking at LV!Horror while he continued to smirk confidently as he decided to unsummon his axes whilst teleporting in front of Insanity. LV!Horror toying with Insanity then punches at his skull while he counterattacks by punching him in his chest plate.
Using their fists only they continue to punch, uppercut, use roundhouses whilst standing in the same spot. The unpleasant sound of cracking bone creaking as each punch thrust upon their skeletons.
Neither of one of them is blocking however, LV!Horror has the advantage using his regeneration to heal the cracks while Insanity tanks the hits. Bit by bit Insanity gets slower as his body to start crumble apart but continues to enjoy the battle not stopping even though it might kill him.
Both skeletons punch at each other’s skull as only Insanity stumbles back as he spurts out dust looking upon the sky as he is alive, but just barely as LV!Horror looks down on him.
With Bill Cipher Sans he is being pursued by Outertale Undyne striking with her spear as Bill Cipher Sans continues teleport while Undyne catches up to him. Conjuring stars throwing them at Bill Cipher Sans he teleports multiple times as he grunts retorting by summoning Gaster Blasters.
Firing at Outertale Undyne she takes on the blasts coming out of it unscathed as it surprises Bill Cipher Sans. Outertale Undyne did not stop getting in close quarters rampageously charging at Bill Cipher Sans continuing to dodge.
Bill Cipher Sans smirks believing that this battle could be fun, so he creates hallucinations to see if he can break her will. Killer grabs Outertale Alphys by the throat about to slice her neck however, Outertale Undyne quickly projectile stars as the hallucination vanishes.
Bill Cipher Sans shortly realises that he cannot break Undyne’s will using cheap hallucinations, so he instead he opted to use his full power even though he is constrained just to Classic Sans power with extra features. Summoning his one eyed Gaster Blasters he fires at Outertale Undyne receiving the hits, but not hindering her in any way.
Outertale Undyne projectiles more stars at Bill Cipher’s direction as he teleports side to side however, the stars exploded as more projectiles fire behind him. Bill Cipher Sans teleported a great distance avoiding the attack altogether looking down at Outertale Undyne.
Outertale Undyne looks up at Bill Cipher Sans.
Outertale Undyne retorting “What’s the matter? Are you scared?”
Bill Cipher Sans laughed “Of you? You are a copy and paste version of the original Undyne just with more glitter on you. I know your weaknesses, but even with these limited constraints on this body. It will not be long before I destroy you!
Outertale Undyne chuckles back “Those blasts didn’t even put a scratch on me! You’re going to have to try harder than that if you want to kill me!”
Suddenly multiple one eyed Gaster Blasters surround Outertale Undyne instantly firing upon her. Using the stars Undyne cuts the giant skulls, but notices that she becomes slightly fatigued.
Standing strong she smirks looking at the Sans lookalike as she is not impressed by his attacks. Bill Cipher Sans toys with Outertale Undyne waiting for her to tire out and then he can finish her off.
Outertale Undyne mentioning to Bill Cipher Sans “Was that supposed to hurt?”
Bill Cipher Sans responded, “I admit your endurance is impressive, but futile nonetheless.”
Outertale Undyne charges for Bill Cipher Sans continuing to battle him using all of her determination.
In another part of the crimson chained universe Insane Papyrus dashes towards Asriel as strides forth striking the mad skeleton with his sword. Marking the skeleton as he went past, he then summons a blaster firing a rainbow beam at Insane Papyrus.
Taking a direct hit Insane Papyrus staggers forwards, but then summons sharpened bones targeting Asriel. Conjuring stars Asriel clashes with the bones as he cancelled the attack. Asriel did not hesitate to charge at Insane Papyrus while he fires blue bones at the infused monster.
Asriel for a moment stayed still as the bones phased through him, but suddenly a hand appears in front of him as Insane Papyrus tries to plant the monster into the ground. Asriel ducks then swiping his sword across the chest plate of Insane Papyrus.
Passing by each other Insane Papyrus just noticed that he has been cut again as he laughs with delight. Summoning a second round of sharpened bones as Insane Papyrus turns around. Stars immediately cut through the bones as the attack did not launch as Asriel looks furiously at him.
A dull red mist then creates a male with a transparent red hoodie along staring directly the mad skeleton. Asriel looks at Insane Papyrus, but then staggers as the dull red phantom returns to Asriel as his eyes become crimson as he started to smile grimly.
Asriel stating “It’s my turn Asriel!”
Insane Papyrus intuitively knew it was the human Chara he just killed but waits for them to attack. Instantly Asriel swings his sword at his arm as it flies down to the ground. Insane Papyrus screeches in excitement, but then vibrant crimson knifes are pierced into his back.
Insane Papyrus is forced to kneel on the floor putting both of his hand down. As Insane Papyrus pushes from the ground two soft hands are placed upon his skull as they to start to squeeze tightly.
Insane Papyrus grabs Asriel’s wrists, but their demonic smile shows Chara dark pleasure. The crimson eyes stare down the broken skeleton firmly tighten his grip as the skull of Insane Papyrus starts to crack.
Insane laughs uncontrollably using all his strength to tighten his grip on both of Asriel’s wrists, but he continues pushing into his skull. The cracks and creaks start to be heard as Asriel damages the skull enjoying tormenting the vicious skeleton.
Chara announced through Asriel’s mouth “You will never hurt my brother! Now perish!”
The hands of Asriel crushed the skull of Insane Papyrus as dust covers their hands as Asriel started to chuckle. Asriel regains control of his body from Chara as he starts to fall to the ground exhausted heavily breathing while the spirit of Chara sits beside him.
Chara says “You’re safe now Asriel. I won’t let you die again.”
Arrows fire at the hooded skeleton as amber swords deflect the shots while appendages try to pierce the mad skeleton. Bones pierced through them as slime disperses to Nightmare’s and Dream’s disappointment.
Bones rampage as both Nightmare and Dream avoid the attacks while being confronted by different sized Gaster Blaster firing short and swift blast as well as heavily large damaging ones. Dream reacted by summoning a barrage of arrows down upon Murder whilst he summoned a Gaster Blaster to protect himself.
Multiple appendages target for Murder as the amber swords diced them reverting them to a dark gloopy puddle on the ground. Murder uses the Gaster Blaster to protect himself fired at Nightmare as he dodges the attack.
Immediately Dream teleports behind Murder as he fired a multitude of negative imbued arrows with his bow. Murder also teleports behind Dream slicing his head off with the levitating amber sword as Dream reverts to slime soon reforming to his Sans lookalike state.
Both Nightmare and Dream retreated as Murder no longer patiently waited for them to attack instead launching sharpened bones in their direction as they shapeshifted to avoid the incoming projectiles. Murder then summons two bone walls surrounding the Dreamtale brother as he then summons two Gaster Blaster firing the blinding beam towards them.
Nightmare and Dream levitate towards the ruby shackled sky as they launch arrows and appendages targeting Murder. Countering the attack Murder cancels the projectiles by using sharp bones crusading through the dark slime.
Immediately Dream teleports in front of Murder while Nightmare from behind. From a second from launching their attacks they disperse into slime as amber swords go through right through them. Retreating from Murder they become frustrated they cannot land a single hit on him.
Murder did not let them have time to think as falling bones rains down upon them. Shapeshifting into slime they both charge towards Murder, but immediately he teleported as the Dreamtale brother revert back into their desired forms as Dream shoots with his arrows.
Murder levitating in mid-air uses a Gaster Blaster to stand on as well aiming for Dream as a blast disintegrates the arrows whilst both Dream and Nightmare sidestep the incoming attack. Murder confidently looks down at them.
Murder sarcastically asking “What’s wrong? Having a tough time looking up at me?”
Both of them grunted as they soon levitate in the air with Murder as he chuckled manically. Murder staring into the Dreamtale brother with a confident expression.
Murder says, “I assure you both You’re going to have a mad time!”
Around that time both as Error is distracted by CORE!Error’s appearance Ink uses his paintbrush about to paint Error. As Error realised Ink is about to strike at him, he then teleports behind him still staring at CORE!Error.
Ink turns around only to find Error still distracted which he does not understand why. Error expresses agitation looking at an abomination that should not even exist in the Multiverse.
Ink questioned “Why are you distracted by him?”
Error continuing to look at CORE!Error replies “It’s disgusting! Whatever Abomination Zero’s friend has done to himself he is now a fact and I hate that!”
Ink continued to question “He’s like you now?”
Error turning to Ink shouted, “HE IS NOTHING LIKE ME!!!”
Ink continued “Why not? From where I am standing, he is just an Error, CORE, as well as an amalgamation. My previous self would be jumping up and down for joy for this, but I cannot feel emotions. So how is he different from you?”
Error answered “You don’t get it! That type of abomination should not even exist! No one can become what either CORE as well as I have become at the same time let alone an amalgamation.”
Ink’s reply “Is it really that strange?”
Error’s response “Yes, it is completely strange! You’re still become dumber every second that goes by.”
Ink tries again striking at Error with his paintbrush, but Error blocks it with a ruby bone becoming annoyed with Ink. Ink levitates back in the air as Error glares at him.
Error announcing, “It’s about time I erase you into dust!”
Ink replying, “You say that all the time.”
Error creates bones underneath Ink as the shove him further towards the sky. Using his paintbrush to break the bones Error teleports far away from him as his skeletal hands touched his eye sockets.
Blue strings come out as they burst out into the sky then targeting Ink trying to tie him up, but Ink charges towards Error as the strings are about to entangle him. Ink uses his paintbrush to dismantle the strings while about to strike Error again.
Error moves out of the way firing a Gaster Blaster beside Ink launching him sideways to the air. Error uses his strings again to tie up the skeleton, but Ink avoids the strings continuing to target Error relentlessly.
Ink stated, “You won’t win!”
Error declares back “Watch me!”
As Error and Ink continue to battle each other in the crimson sky back down on the ground Toriel and Asgore are being chased by Six Bones continuing to attack them with a barrage of bones. This continued assault is becoming restless for both Toriel and Asgore as they gain more distance from Six Bones.
Asgore questioned “What if I asked if we should retreat?”
Toriel responds “What, but we need to-”
Asgore interrupted “Toriel I am almost out of magic, and I believe it’s the same situation with you. I have no interest continuing this fight unless you want to be killed. We need to retreat now!”
Toriel declaring “What about the others? If we don’t hold out for them then who will?”
Asgore’s answer “We can help them if we stay alive not if we are dead. Let us focus on getting everyone away from here before we completely exhaust ourselves. What do you say?”
Toriel is hesitant however, she knows Asgore is right as her magic is about to be depleted. A sigh comes out from her as she then nods while another set of bones charge at them as they teleported away fleeing from the battle.
Six Bones is left alone in a battlefield while everyone is too far away from each other for them to even catch up. Six Bones just slowly moves hoping that they can still be of use no matter how little it will be.
Toriel and Asgore search whoever is not in battle eventually seeing a goat humanoid adult lying on the ground exhausted from battle. Toriel and Asgore teleport beside him seeing his black eyelids and white eyes while breathing heavily on the ground.
Asriel looking up to them saying “Mom… Dad…?”
Asgore grabs Asriel’s arm helping him stand up as Asriel’s arm around him. Toriel puts Asriel’s other arm around them helping Asriel stand his ground while Asgore chuckles.
Asgore responding “You aren’t hallucinating, are you? Come on let we need to regroup and get out here!”
Toriel adds on “Come on sweetheart I think it’s about time we go.”
Asriel simply spoke “Thank you…”
Asgore and Toriel carries Asriel as they walk away from the battlefield no longer interested in continuing to fight. They walk further away from everyone until they are at a safe distance where they can help someone else in need.
Destruction spreads around the world, but one more battle remained as Error404 stayed focus on the residents X-Tale as well as the phantoms of WiseTale. They run towards each other with furious intent about to commence multiple fights close to each other.
The turquoise ghost dashes towards X-Asriel while he runs up to her. X-Asriel slashes at her visible turquoise Soul, but she avoids the multitude of strikes aimed for her chest ducking as well as sidestepping in order to not be hit by his sword.
Continuing his strikes X-Asriel went downwards trying to catch the ghost off guard, but she charges forward tackling X-Asriel to the ground resulting in him dropping his swords. The turquoise transparent ghost took advantage punching X-Asriel’s face bruising him.
The female ghost enjoys inflicting pain upon him however, X-Asriel then uses large vines tying up the ghost in mid-air as he gets from the ground annoyed spitting dust out from his mouth. The transparent female struggles as X-Asriel becomes impatient wanting to end the phantom’s life immediately.
The ghost could see his impatient expression as she points a finger towards X-Asriel revealing his monster Soul becoming turquoise as he took damage. This consequently makes him kneel as the vines let go of the barely visible turquoise construct.
X-Asriel’s impatience grew, but then he takes more damage planting both of his hands to the ground feeling a deep pain in his chest while his Soul is still coloured Turquoise. Amber grinning walking towards X-Asriel as he shakes in pain.
X-Asriel stutters “What… What is… What is happening to me?”
The faintly turquoise female then roundhouse kicks X-Asriel face as he immediately drops to the ground. The ghost grabs his head repeatedly kneeing him as dust spurts out from his head.
X-Asriel grunts as he then pushes the ghost away only for her to respond with an uppercut which send X-Asriel staggering back. The faintly outlined female grabs his robe as he barely stands on the ground as she swiftly gets behind him.
The woman puts her slender arm around his neck while putting other arm above his furry head choking the life out of X-Asriel whilst he struggled. X-Asriel tries to reach for one of his swords attempting to bend down and strike the female down.
The turquoise phantom forced X-Asriel to stand continuing to put pressure on his neck while he continued struggling to bend down. X-Asriel starts to lose breath as tiny cracks are heard.
In one swift motion turning X-Asriel’s head awkwardly the turquoise ghost snaps his neck as a big, unsettling crack is visibly heard. X-Asriel collapses to the floor as the life from his eyes drain shortly descending into dust as his robes are left behind.
The turquoise ghost grunts as she is agitated but standing victorious above X-Asriel’s dust. The remains of X-Asriel blow in the wind as all that remained are his clothes and two abandoned swords lying upon the ground.
X-Mettaton ignites his Lightsabre charging towards the golden cowboy as he fires one shot at the robot. X-Mettaton incinerates the see-through bullet as he thrust his blade towards the faintly golden outlined cowboy.
Dodging the golden transparent cowboy aims the revolves at X-Mettaton’s robotic head, but before he could fire X-Mettaton swings backwards trying to hit his opponent as he is forced to jump out of the way gaining distance between them.
X-Mettaton runs up to him striking with a multitude of attacks, but the cowboy kept moving in and out of the way avoiding the attacks as he put the revolver near X-Mettaton’s head. The golden transparent cowboy fired as X-Mettaton tilts his head backwards avoiding the see-through bullet then with one hand somersaults before once again charging at the cowboy.
X-Mettaton then struck downwards trying to shatter the golden Soul, but the cowboy grabs his wrist with the lightsabre in hand. X-Mettaton shocked but is then elbowed by him and kneed his robotic chest. The cowboy lets him go of his mechanical wrist as X-Mettaton staggers back.
The scuffed-up cowboy aims his revolver at X-Mettaton while he holds his blade high prepared to face a speeding bullet. The cowboy smirked slightly titling his gun before firing past X-Mettaton as his new target shot X-Alphys as dust spurts from her as she collapses to ground becoming dust as her clothes remained.
X-Gaster is not impressed, but even so X-Mettaton charges forth continuing to strike at the cowboy, but as each moment go by, he becomes less impressed. X-Mettaton does a flurry of moves using well-rounded strikes before thrusting using his mechanical weight.
The cowboy rolls over before standing again and shooting at X-Mettaton as he easily deflects the shot. The cowboy having enough from his mechanical opponent starts to charge towards him while X-Mettaton runs to him as well skidding his lightsabre upon on the ground.
In arm’s length of each other X-Mettaton strikes upwards trying to cut the visibly seen chest of the cowboy. X-Mettaton’s opponent jumps back after he strikes then charges back forth pointing his gun at X-Mettaton’s mechanical skull.
Before X-Mettaton even gets the chance to swing down with his blade as the slow realisation he has made a critical error. As the blade starts to swing down the trigger is pulled as a bang is heard as the see-through bullet pierced the robotic skull of X-Mettaton.
The lightsabre drops from X-Mettaton’s mechanical hands as its blade is no longer ignited. The hilt clashes with the ground as the lifeless body of X-Mettaton is abandoned as he collapses violently.
The cowboy puts his ghostly revolver away standing tall against the robot that malfunctioned.
Meanwhile X-Undyne launches mauve spears at the lime construct as she dances missing the attacks whilst mocking her opponent. X-Undyne charges in swiping her spear as the construct ducks kicking X-Undyne in the stomach as she staggers back.
X-Undyne continued to charge at the see-through human swiftly striking her spear downwards and upwards, but no matter what she does the construct moves out of the way. In a fit of rage X-Undyne summons a multitude of magical spears in the sky raining down upon her opponent.
The ghost of the fifth forgotten human runs away as spears strike near her location. The mauve spears target her but are unable to hit the ghost as X-Undyne plots a cunning plan. While the lime construct barely avoids the incoming projectiles purple lights shine below the ground beneath her feet.
The lime construct realises that X-Undyne is about to pierce her with spears as X-Undyne looks at them with a wicked smile. Cruel thoughts rushed through X-Undyne as she could see the defeat of the fifth forgotten human, but it is her undoing.
In an instant Sapphire extends her hand towards X-Undyne’s direction turning her Soul into the colour of lime as X-Undyne started to take damage making her unfocused as the spears deconstructed before they were summoned. X-Undyne gasps spitting dust kneeling on one knee looking at the construct as she mockingly bows at her.
X-Undyne quickly gets up from the ground dashing towards the lime construct once again attacking with her spear. The barely visible lime ghost ducks avoiding the spear then jumped kneeing X-Undyne’s shin forcing her to drop her spear.
The construct then starts kicking Undyne’s sides bruising her while X-Undyne attempts to punch her. The ghost of the fifth forgotten human titles her head as the punch passes beside her. The lime construct puts one of her legs in front of X-Undyne’s as she then pulls it back tripping X-Undyne falling harshly to the ground.
X-Undyne immediately summons spears beside the lime construct as she is forced to leap back avoiding the attacks. The ghost of the fifth forgotten human notices X-Undyne’s spear beside her as she grabs it picking it up from the ground.
X-Undyne summons a barrage of magical spears at the lime construct as she deflects the incoming attacks using X-Undyne spear. Defending herself from the onslaught the lime construct charges for X-Undyne while she launches more spears.
The lime construct blocks the incoming spears as she is in arm’s length of X-Undyne as she thrusts the spear into her chest shattering X-Undyne’s Soul. The lime construct catches X-Undyne’s lifeless body hugging her feeling a moment of guilt as X-Undyne faded to dust. Only X-Undyne’s clothes remained while the construct is victorious as dust phases through her visible body.
Another battle commenced as X-Muffet summons her large muffin pet spiders charging at the indigo phantom. With the flick of her visible fingers the phantom shoots out violet strings wrapping X-Muffet’s ginormous pets.
In her command the pets soon forced to charge at X-Muffet as she then uses her spiderweb to trap her own pets encasing them in thick threads. The pets could no longer move as X-Muffet grunts looking at the cunning phantom.
X-Muffet extends her hand out shooting webs at the human while they reacted launching her violet strings as they attach together. X-Muffet chuckles as spiders come out from her clothes crawling along the webs to the violet strings.
The violet see-through phantom without empathy nor care grabs her own strings rising them into the air before harshly shaking it down as the strings and cobwebs violently detach. The spiders are blown into the air clashing with each other accidently squashing one another descending into dust.
X-Muffet is angered but adding to the violence the phantom uses her strings to attach to X-Muffet’s pets then forces their bodies to collide whilst trapped in the webs at X-Muffet’s direction. X-Muffet jumps high into the air as a large amount of dust splattered in all directions.
The violet phantom targets her strings towards X-Muffet as she glides through the air avoiding the strings as much as possible. X-Muffet glides down towards the violet phantom hoping to trap the phantom in her web.
The phantom uses her strings to try and reach X-Muffet, but she continues to avoid her attacks. The violet see-through construct then uses her strings to create a cobweb of her own covering a wide in the air, but it results in X-Muffet getting closer to her.
X-Muffet starts to construct her webs using thick threads made from her silk, but as she starts planning to trap the phantom, she does not realise a cobweb of the phantom’s own is falling down upon her. The phantom pulls down her constructed cobweb catching up to X-Muffet.
X-Muffet finishes her devious creation, but before she could fire upon the phantom, she soon realises that purple strings are falling toward her. X-Muffet rushes towards the ground getting closer to the phantom while the cobweb is catching up to her.
In reaching distance she is about to fire however, X-Muffet is then entangled by violet strings dangling in front of the violet phantom. X-Muffet starts to panic as she could not move one of her arms while the phantom grins devilishly.
The violet phantom extends her hand out towards X-Muffet directions as violet strings wraps her monster Soul as X-Muffet is now controlled by the violet construct.
Unfortunately for X-Muffet the phantom did not care to keep her alive, so she uses the string to rip out X-Muffet’s soul as it shatters. X-Muffet breathing in pain crumbles to dust as her clothes remained as the phantom grinned wider.
X-Papyrus faces an apathetic human apparition that has an attire similar to a Classic Sans, but he has no interest in fighting her. X-Papyrus holds his scythe, but it is clear that his expression is uninterested in doing anything.
Slowly the apathetic human raises her hand as the monster Soul of X-Papyrus turns silver. In a moment of shock X-Papyrus falls to the ground as his Soul took a heavy tool damaging his body.
The skeleton is confused, but shortly remembers a time he had forgotten long ago asking for X-Gaster to not give him real feelings. Walking upon the hardened ground the apparition steadily walks towards X-Papyrus the see-through silver knife in hand.
X-Papyrus as he fell on his knees stands up looking at aspiration with an intense expression as his Soul stayed silver. Charging forth with his scythe another memory appears remembering the crying face of X-Frisk when they were a child.
That distraction causes him to miss while the apparition cuts the side of his skull whilst X-Papyrus regains his footing accidently creating distance between them. X-Papyrus tries to deny reappearing memories becoming uninterested to them.
This results in his body taking more damage falling on his knees again while his memories reappear that are supposed to be erased by X-Gaster.
X-Gaster realises that X-Papyrus’ memories are reappearing in his mind, but it did not matter as X-Papyrus tries to deny its existence forced down by X-Gaster. This results each time for a moment of uninterest which results in his Soul cracking each time he becomes uninterested creating a loop.
X-Gaster then realises that X-Papyrus is caught in that loop, but he cannot let X-Papyrus regain his memories otherwise he would turn against him. X-Gaster then sighs reluctantly admitting X-Papyrus is a lost cause, but he can bring him back later.
The memories reappearing in X-Papyrus’ mind whilst being forced to forget those memories harms X-Papyrus both physically and mentally creating an abyss inside his mind. Overwhelmed by thoughts the silver apparition approaches the tall skeleton kneeling on the ground.
In one blissful moment X-Papyrus remembers his friends as X-Undyne, his Sans, X-Frisk, as well as himself walks down the streets, but the memory is forced out of him as pain starts to shatter his own Soul.
The apparition in front of X-Papyrus gradually rise her knife into the air before striking at the skeleton’s vertebrate decapitating the skeleton as his head falls upon the ground with a distraught expression. X-Papyrus transforms into dust as the clothes as well as his scythe remained.
The barely visible apparition did not care nor give any concern to whom they just slaughtered.
Dark purple flames scorched being fired upon a marron phantasm as she blocks with her frying pan. X-Toriel ruthlessly continues to fire with ruthless aggression, but the phantasm unlike the others did not fight back.
Flame after flame the phantasm just blocks the flames with her see-through brown outlined frying pan. X-Toriel shows sympathy, but that did not stop her from summoning more pillars of fire at the brown phantasm.
The phantasm staggers back enduring the assault but is being overwhelmed by flames as one fireball accidently forced her to extend her hand out towards X-Toriel as her monster Soul turns into a mud colour. The affect made Toriel suffer kneeling on the floor placing a hand upon a chest.
The phantasm panicked as she undoes her magic upon X-Toriel no longer harming her to X-Gaster’s fascination. X-Toriel gets up and continued launching dark flames towards the maroon phantasm as she blocks them once again.
Each flame hitting the frying pan, every scorch barely missing the phantasm, but in one moment of determination she launches one of the flames back at X-Toriel while she puts her arms up. The flame scorches one of her arms as it disintegrates the sleeve of her robe.
X-Toriel’s pain is visibly shown as she grits her teeth trying to ignore the pain. X-Toriel’s burn is also visible to see seeing red and black marks upon her fur which makes the brown phantasm upset not wanting to harm her.
With one arm X-Toriel charges a gigantic fire ball extending an arm to the air. The brown phantasm looks at the flame knowing that she could not dodge that flame even if she tried. In a moment of thinking she could either not do anything or harm X-Toriel in order to keep herself safe.
The fire continues to expand as the flames sizzle making the phantasm hesitant as she quickly charges towards X-Toriel not knowing if she should strike. X-Toriel sees the marron phantasm charging her way as she gives a mournful look.
Running towards X-Toriel the phantasm shakes as she could not make it towards X-Toriel as the fireball would launch but could see Toriel’s irresolution expressed on her face. The phantasm has a choice to make whether to harm X-Toriel or not.
The arm of X-Toriel is about to throw the enormous fireball at the phantasm, but the manufactured Soul of Nightmare are not that kind resulting the phantasm to extend her hand making X-Toriel’s Soul a mud colour again. X-Toriel still irresolute takes damage losing focus on controlling the fireball as it exploded taking a direct hit from her own attack.
Rolling on the floor unconscious half of X-Toriel’s body is scorched with burn marks. The phantasm walks to X-Toriel and kneels beside her putting her head upon her lap. The phantasm shows heavy concern visibly shown with her facial expressions.
The phantasm wanted to apologise to X-Toriel but could not.
The last spectre faces the King of X-Tale as they both charge relentlessly at each other. The king uses his trident to thrust and swipe the see-through lab coat wearing skeleton, but he ducks and sidesteps before upper cutting his chin.
X-Asgore staggering back is then repeatedly punched and kneed in the stomach as he coughs but tries to grab the skeleton’s head. Immediately the dark grey outlined spectre slides under him before quickly standing up kicking the back of X-Asgore.
Staggering forward X-Asgore turns around summoning multiple violet flames targeting the spectre. In response the spectre extends his hand out magically conjuring dark grey arrows launching into the flames cancelling the incoming projectiles.
X-Asgore soon charges at the see-through skeleton again as he does the same. Once again pushing the trident towards the skeleton’s outlined chest he grabs it kneeling down but keeping the weapon from hitting him.
X-Asgore uses all of his strength to push the trident into the monster, but out of pure will the spectre pushes back starting to get up while X-Asgore struggled to thrust his trident into him. As the spectre gets up, he kicks X-Asgore away forcing him to let go of his trident while the spectre holds it.
Dropping the trident to the floor he puts his fists up and his legs apart waiting for X-Asgore to strike at him using only his fists.
X-Asgore thought about using his flame, but it would only be countered by his magical arrows. X-Asgore clenches his fists walking viciously towards the skeleton’s direction. Approaching the spectre X-Asgore attempts to throw a punch as the skeleton ducks.
X-Asgore continuously uses his fists to either punch the skeleton’s see-through skull or stomach, but he ducks or avoids the punch as he then strikes at X-Asgore cheek. The punch landed as X-Asgore tries to retort with a punch of his own, but instead the spectre grabs the king.
X-Asgore punch went beside the skeleton’s skull as he grabs the king using his body weight to temporarily lift him into the air before violently being planted on the ground. X-Asgore landed harshly groaning in pain as the skeleton stands above him menacingly.
X-Asgore tries to extend his hand summoning a flame, but the spectre grabs his arm instantly twisting as he breaks it. Screeching in pain X-Asgore uses his other hand to firmly hold his arm trying to ease the pain, but the attempt is in vain.
Immediately the skeleton summons magical arrows in the air piercing X-Asgore hands and feet crucifying him on the ground. The skeleton walks to get his trident going back to the king as he yells in pain. Standing by his head the skeleton plunges the trident into his neck as he spits out dust as the life from his eyes started to fade before eventually turning into dust as his robes remained.
In the Omega Timeline X-Chara puts a hand on his mouth looking away as he is disgusted by what he sees. Tears start to fall from his eyes not wanting to see his friends suffer like that while CORE looks away in both disappointment as well as sorrow.
X-Frisk is disturbed as well seeing the brutal murders of what the phantoms has created. CORE shakes not wanting to hear the sound of a gunshot, but X-Chara disgusted and upset could not stop himself from what he had to say.
X-Chara said “Fucking hell I did not… Why did I… Demon. HE’S JUST A FUCKING DEMON!!!”
CORE responds “I… I wish I did not see that either.”
X-Frisk says for X-Gaster as he also says in the crimson universe “For once I agree.”
CORE!Error looks at X-Gaster as his minions are either unconscious or turned to dust. X-Gaster sighed, but still remained confident. X-Gaster smirks again showing his arrogance towards CORE!Error.
X-Gaster announcing “Well this has been interesting, but I think it’s time we ended this game!”
X-Gaster summons his overwrite button as the phantoms watched him as everyone else is currently fighting or fleeing from that battlefield. The one button that can change the entire tide of the war.
X-Gaster stated “Your power is impressive I must admit, but either way… I still win.”
X-Gaster pressed the overwrite button, but suddenly the text changes replacing the words overwrite with ‘Locked.’ Surprised X-Gaster presses the button again, but the words Locked remained as nothing else happened.
CORE!Error’s voice echoes while mentioning “I forget to mention this. In this universe I can lock people here with no one coming or out under any circumstances however, what I failed to mention is that I can also lock any one ability of my choosing. I think it’s obvious on what I picked.”
X-Gaster becomes fearful as he cannot access his most powerful ability. Dread is shown on his face as he cannot use overwrite to bring his subjects back nor can he change anything in the universe.
Immediately violet strings wrap around his arms as the indigo phantom shackles X-Gaster. The lime, turquoise, as well as golden constructs runs up to X-Gaster as they started to punch and kick him down. X-Gaster spits out of dust while being mauled by phantoms.
The grey spectre stands beside CORE!Error as they watch the senseless beating upon X-Gaster as the other constructs watched. X-Gaster lying there helpless starts to lose consciousness, but the constructs finally stopped as they smile with devilish delight.
The constructs then transform into mist as they infuse back into CORE!Error’s infused amalgamated glitching Soul as the violet strings disperse dropping X-Gaster to the floor. CORE!Error slowly moves towards him as X-Gaster gradually gets on his hands and knees.
CORE!Error standing in front of X-Gaster reveals “The Souls you and Nightmare created can appear through their will even though they no longer having a mind. They appear from time to time either to help me or for their benefit. Interesting is it not?”
X-Gaster pushing himself off the ground bruised about with a vicious look glared at CORE!Error with only hatred. CORE!Error with his slimy body is not fazed by X-Gaster’s rage but could see his determination in his eyes.
X-Gaster declared “I will… I will never give you the overwrite button! No matter how you beat me down I will stay determined even you broken me! You have to unlock my ability in order to get anyway which I would certainly seize that opportunity to unmake you!
Ironic is it not? You have to take a chance and even you do not know if it will work! I will create the universe for the best of others, or I will die with it. So… CORE!Error… What will you do?”
X-Gaster regains his arrogant smile even though he is beaten to a pulp. CORE!Error exhales knowing that X-Gaster is right.
CORE!Error’s response “You’re right. I have to release your ability and even then, I doubt you would give it to me no matter what I do to you. What is worse though is that I know it is limitations as well.
When Krotos found out the Overwrite button from CORE he thought he could fix the Multiverse with it using its power, but before CORE could tell him his limitations he set off. Once I arrived, I thought the same as well but once CORE told me I was devastated.
Your ability can create anything from nothing which is what most people would die for to create their desired dream. The problem is that it can only affect one universe at a time, but even I thought I can still make do with it.
Unfortunately for me I also learned that the effects or affects from it are not permanent and once I heard that I thought all our efforts were in vain.”
Suddenly Error404 teleports beside CORE!Error as both he and X-Gaster look upon him. Error404 turns his attention to CORE!Error looking at him confidently.
Error404 added on “So you did know?”
CORE!Error’s answer “I knew from the start. I think it’s obvious that I lied to everyone believing that I could bring back what they have lost including you as well.”
Error404 mentions “That’s quite cunning of you.
I must admit using people’s desires against them is an admirable quality you have there, but tell me… What is stopping me from erasing you here and now?”
CORE!Error’s voice echoing “I realised that it’s never been about getting back what I have lost, but instead to protect a future that is yet to come. For Sans, Alphys, the King, and for the boy the former Queen. I will protect the Multiverse at all costs even with my life.”
CORE!Error clicks his slimy fingers as the world shakes uncontrollably as the rumbling spreads across everywhere. The ground becomes uncontrollable as on both teams are trying to find their balance having not a clue what is going on.
Error404 asked “What have you done Gaster?”
CORE!Error answered “I wired the Determination Extraction into the CORE in this world pumping with all the power I could find in this universe. Right now, it should be fully operation as I set it if off to overload and in a few moments it will explode.”
X-Gaster questioning “Why? By maximising the power outlet both from the Determination Extractor as well as the CORE setting it to explode would…”
CORE!Error carries on for X-Gaster “It will create a chain reaction exploding at the same time and people who fell or were blasted by those machines are sent to either one of two voids.”
Error404 chuckled “Do you really think I will perish by being consumed by two voids that will-”
CORE!Error interrupted “Both machines will explode at the same time as the universe will feel both the wrath of the Void as well as the Anti-Void. I have evaluated it using it on a subject who was both a lifeless Error and CORE that I have collected from Littletale.
I created a minuscule explosion and once I put them inside the contained explosion each of their molecules dispersed now imagine that on a universal level.”
Error404 then realises as well as X-Gaster they never have experienced or seen that CORE!Error has conjured. X-Frisk and X-Chara looks at the screen intensely, but CORE becomes panics.
CORE yells “LET THEM OUT GASTER!!! DON’T DO THIS YOU’LL TRAP EVERYONE IN THERE SUFFERING WITH YOU!!! STOP!!! STOP!!!”
Bashing their fists towards the screen as X-Chara and X-Frisk has never seen CORE beg. CORE!Error looks at them shaking his head that he will not. CORE begins to cry, but X-Frisk started to panic.
X-Frisk yells “Get me outside the universe I will overwrite it and stop this now!”
X-Chara places a hand on X-Frisk’s shoulder.
X-Chara said “What’s wrong? Afraid he’ll lose?”
X-Frisk retorted “Idiot boy you’ll-”
CORE shouted “THERE’S NOTHING ANYONE CAN DO!!! Once he put the universe into Lockdown it cannot be undone. No reset, overwrite, or ability can even change it! AND THE OTHERS HAVE TO SUFFER FOR IT!!!”
X-Frisk blurts out “No… That means…”
X-Chara finished X-Frisk sentence “You’re gone old man!”
In the crimson universe as X-Gaster becomes infuriated with CORE!Error while Error404 starts to point at CORE!Error about to erase him from existence.
CORE!Error stated “Erase me if you like it will not change, but for your information my special ability is to make any person forget my actions or blind them from certain knowledges for however long I liked. It is why Bill Cipher Sans does not know a thing about this place or what is about to happen.
The voids will clash, and we will all perish, so I would choose your last moments carefully William. You will fail if you try to find it, I guarantee you. In the end… we all lose… yet the Multiverse lives.”
Error404 sighs knowing that even his butterfly forms will only kill him and whoever is in his sight. Error404 smirked.
Error404 complimented CORE!Error “Well played. Well played.”
Error404 teleported to Error as he is fighting with Ink. Error is startled seeing his mentor in front of him, but suddenly he hugs him to Error’s disgust and surprise. Error tries to shove him off, but William’s grip did not let him go.
Error demanded “WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!? GET OFF ME!!!”
Error loudly groaned as Error404 chuckled while Ink stares at him knowing that something is not right as he looks down at CORE!Error and X-Gaster. CORE!Error then walks away slowly looking at the crimson sky.
X-Gaster shouts “That’s it?!? You will be consumed along with everyone else just to protect rubbish?!? There should only be one universe!!!”
CORE!Error replied “The perfect universe is nothing more than a fairy-tale you have created. The Multiverse is so much more than you can imagine, and it will exist long after us. It will be a Clash of the Voids, but before I go, I need to say this…”
CORE!Error looks at CORE as they watch from the screen in the Omega Timeline.
CORE!Error’s final words “I’m sorry and thank you. For everything.”
CORE’s tears drop from her eyelids, but then in the crimson universe. Underground a Mountain is the CORE that is wired to the Determination Extractor pumping in lava as well as fuel as electricity sparks everywhere.
The malfunction starts to begin as lava spreads around as beams of white and black appear. In one moment, the CORE and the Determination Extractor imploded as the universe is being consumed by both white and black molecules eating away everything in its sight.
Toriel, Asgore, as well as Asriel walk away from the battlefield however, in front of them they see both black and white storm coming their direction. Swiftly as the storms hits, they disperse into black and white molecules screaming in agony as their bodies are being unmade.
Six Bones shortly is then decimated as they echo a scream being ripped apart into black and white molecules. Killer and Outertale Papyrus continue to clash with their beam, but suddenly they are hit by the clashing storm as they torn apart as their pain is echoed being continuingly ripped apart.
Outertale Undyne chasing Bill Cipher Sans as he soon is consumed by the clashing voids as his essence tears apart. Outertale Undyne tries to stop herself but is too late as she is being torn open as their screams are silenced.
LV!Horror staring down at Insanity are then blown into the storm as they split apart into dark and light molecules laughing manically together.
Dream and Nightmare try to kill their former underling, but immediately ripped open as the slime as well as their former bodies are uncreated. Murder looks at the storm unphased just chuckling under his breath.
Murder says to himself “And this is how it all ends. With a bang.”
Murder did not try to outrun the incoming storm accepting his fate as he peacefully departed into molecules making peace remembering when times were happy. Shortly Error and William are then casted into the storm, but neither of them noticing it happened dispersing into nothingness.
Ink tries to escape the storm instinctively wanting to avoid it however, it eventually caught up to him as he felt nothing. No last memory, no emotion, nothing. Being unmade unable to do anything to fight back.
The grey spectre returned looking at the storm and putting his hand upon his eye sockets expressing sorrow while CORE!Error walks away ignoring the storm. X-Gaster tries to reach out for them, but in the end they both are obliterated as one screeches in anger as one stayed silent.
The universe clashed with black and white molecules eating anything in sight but are locked the chains as it could no longer get out. The chains from the universe then started to expand upon the Multiverse reaching each individual AU chaining them up, but nothing is happening to them.
In the Omega Timeline CORE sees blank screen as they kneel on the ground crying tears hearing the victims’ screams in UnderLockDown being torn apart by both the Void and the Anti-Void. In that moment X-Frisk puts a hand on their face looking confused.
X-Frisk says “Chara? Where am I?”
X-Chara then is pleasantly surprised and cry tears of joy hugging X-Frisk as they have been free from X-Gaster’s control.
X-Chara says with delight “You’re back!!! Oh my god you are back!!! I missed you Frisk!”
X-Frisk hugs X-Chara back concerned; then shortly realises they are free from X-Gaster control which they sigh in relief.
CORE mutters putting their hands upon their ears muttering “Why? We could of…”
CORE tears up as they continuously hear their suffering, but they stand up wiping the tears from their eyelids. Turning to X-Chara and X-Frisk they smile even though tears still pour from CORE as they see CORE’s tortured expression.
CORE mentions “You’re free. The Multiverse is safe and can be rebuilt. I… I will tell the others you two get acquainted here.”
CORE leaves them walking in the Omega Timeline alone.
CORE could not stop hearing their voices witnessing a war that took all of their lives. CORE is at their breaking point as they scream
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”
Glitching out of control they hug themselves crawling into a ball crying uncontrollably as they could nothing to prevent it. The scream is heard throughout the Omega Timeline as everyone rushes to see who made the scream.
CORE apologises “I’m so sorry… I’m so…”
CORE could not contain themselves from their grief as UNDERSWAP Papyrus as well as everyone else sees CORE sitting alone. They all knew if CORE is upset something major has happened and without hesitation. They sit with CORE trying to comfort them best as possible as Zerror, X-Chara, X-Frisk, sits beside them.
CORE said to everyone “Thank you (sniff) Thank you.”
Chapter 7: One Last Chance
Summary:
(Epilogue to the original story)
Chapter Text
In the chained consuming conniving clash of the Voids a tall skeleton with violet robes with an X in the middle is being torn apart dispersing into molecules. X-Gaster determined to stay alive by any means necessary is fighting with all his strength as he his memories start to fade.
X-Gaster could not give up. X-Gaster would not give up not after all he has done. He needed to continue, he needed to stay alive, he needed to finish his work. X-Gaster’s screeches echoed as one of his hands disperse while his skull is glitching inwards as well as outwards.
Using every ounce of strength, he could conjure trying to withstand a gluttonous storm devouring all in its wake, but his robes started to tear his body is becoming a shadowy silhouette. X-Gaster’s crimson eye shined while his violet one fades into the storm.
Suddenly a button appears in front of him as he looked shocked, but instinctively using his remaining hand to reach for the button desperately. Struggling to cope with pain dust exits out from his body, but no matter at what cost he will return.
In his last breaths he presses the amber button as the text displays ‘RESET.’
The universe then fuses the molecules along with X-Gaster as the chains that extend upon the alternative universes are smothered in grey mist, but in the Omega Timeline as CORE sits around everyone, they could no longer hear the continuous screaming.
CORE states “It’s gone.”
Before anyone could say a word, doors start appearing as numerous chains grabs each person in the Omega Timeline except for CORE as well as Zerror. UNDERSWAP Papyrus is caught by the enormous chain being tossed back into his door along with everyone else.
The doors then start filling the Omega Timeline with clouds of smoke covering every inch as both CORE as well as Zerror are caught in the clouds. Each of the Multiverse’s alternative universes as well as Undertale are covered in chains along with grey smoke.
Dim light emanates from each AU as the smoke disperses in all areas including the Omega Timeline. The chains are still wrapped, but in the former crimson universe a button displays ‘Loading.’
Shortly a new textbox appears revealing ‘Reset Completed.’
Then it finally displayed ‘AU Recreated. New name:
DELTAWISE.’
