Chapter Text

Moon held Sun in his arms. He no longer had been standing there, but he didn't care. Sun was here, Sun was alive, and Sun got back home. Sun’s sobs had started to slow down. Moon pulled away slowly, afraid that this was all some dream and it could slip before his very eyes. Yet Sun was still there. He looked tired, and his eyes were tired. He seemed to be someplace else right now.

Moon did not realize how dirty the Sun was. He had dirt and mud on him, along with some very obvious blood stains that littered his clothes. What… had happened to his brother? He could easily explain the dirty part, but the blood? Moon looked down at Sun and had to see a pair of sunglasses in his hand. Moon wondered if they were his. Sun never used sunglasses… Moon was confused. But he didn't want to overwhelm Sun, he had clearly been through hell and back.

“You…” Moon carefully grabbed Sun's hands, as if they would snap if he had put too much pressure on them. “You wanna go clean yourself up?” Moon tried to be careful, but Sun shook his head, returning. Sun managed a nod, it was a weak one but Moon would take it. He guided Sun out of the ballpit. While Monty and Solar stayed silent still in complete shock. “Could you get Lunar and Earth?” Moon mumbled to Solar. Solar gave a nod.

When they walked past Monty, Sun looked away, and hid behind Moon. Monty gave a confused glance to Moon but Moon shrugged it off. He knew that there was a Ruin Monty in that universe, maybe they were enemies, and looking at them brought up unpleasant memories, but Moon didn’t ask.

When they got to the desk Sun walked over to the hand sanitizer section, as if in a dream. He looked back at Moon, who felt a small smile form on his mouth, asking why didn't need permission to use hand sanitizer but he must’ve been doing it out of nervousness. “You can use the hand sanitizer.” Moon nodded. Sun had a small smile before they started using gloops of hand sanitizer and rubbing over his hands, his arms, and his rays. He seemed happy to be finally cleaned. He even started to clean some of their faces. Moon stifles a laugh, oh how he missed his brother.

Sun had grabbed a nearby rag and started to wash himself off. Trying to dry himself as he seemed to be enjoying being cleaned. Moon wondered what happened to Sun, but knew it still wasn’t time to ask him that yet.

“Sun?” Lunar asked from behind. Moon turned to see Lunar walking through the doors with Earth walking behind with a huge smile on her face. Moon turned back to Sun who looked at them but once his eyes got to Earth, he froze. Like he had seen a ghost.

—----------------

Sun felt his breath hitch when he saw her. He wanted to run, he wanted to hide in whatever he could or pull out the one shot of the plasma beam he had on her. Last time he saw her she was pulling out a plasma gun and shooting Gregory down, along with explosions in the background. With people falling… with screaming… They pounded in his head almost drowning everything out.

Yet the one defining thing was that she had yellow eyes, this one had blue ones. This was Earth, not Jupiter, not Jupiter. Earth was kind, and Jupiter was insane. Earth had long hair, and Jupiter had short hair. His breath was forced to slow down but his siblings were already looking at him with worry.

“Are you ok?” Earth walked forward. Sun felt himself move back. Earth wasn’t her, Earth wasn’t her. Then why was he panicking? Why couldn’t he bear to look at her not-yellow eyes? Why did he feel so helpless again? He wanted to run or fight back. He felt someone put their hand on his shoulder, a sneak attack, He grabbed the hand but instead of seeing an enemy he saw Moon.

“Sun?” Moon asked, he retracted his arm looking worried. “Are you alright?” Sun tried to ground himself to reality. He used MOon as his anchor as he tried to focus on his surroundings. He wasn’t in the wild. He was alright, he was in the daycare, and he was with his siblings. Sun gave a weak smile and nodded. Why was he lying? He was far from ok and he knew that. He witnessed a massacre… all the screaming… all the blood.

Wait… he had witnessed a massacre?! How could he have not just realized? It had happened so fast that the world seemed to blur. Yet he was finally with his family… he was finally safe..but what about all the people that he left behind… All the people, animatronics that he had promised to get their world back… Sun was the only one who got his wish,... Sun felt his knees buckle. He felt tears start to stream down his cheeks slowly going faster and faster.

All those lives.

Timothy with half of a face.

Cassidy, torn to pieces.

Roxanne, hoping for her child to come back.

Gregory was shot through the chest with a plasma beam.

Monty, winking at Sun knowing that Sun will get his happy ending and they’ll end up dying.

The tears came faster now as Sun felt himself start to sink in grief. The blood, the screams, the

laughter. All gone, nothing was there. Nothing left. Nothing was left, the only evidence of that dimension ever existing was the Sun. Who had practically sacrificed everyone for him to just get home?

He lost all of his friends, he had lost everyone, he promised them the world, but he destroyed their home instead. Everything went down, the world ceased to exist. All that pain, all of the blood, nothing left to show. Nothing left, all those hopes and dreams. He led them to their doom.

He was no longer home; he was somewhere far worse.

He could hear Cassidy’s wails, or was that his? He couldn’t tell anymore, the screams were mixing, and he felt himself start to fall into an endless pit. Someone grabbed him from whatever pit and he felt his body moving on it trying to get away from the things that grabbed him. Yet instead of being hurt the thing embraced him. HE struggled but he felt his senses start to rise up, the colors came back and he found himself in the daycare, or what seemed to be a daycare because his eyes were blurry. He felt the tera starting to pour out faster and heavier.

He could hear the soft soothing words of Moon but he couldn’t understand them, everything was still overwhelming. But he could feel his breath start to slow down, he tried to push those horrible memories away, he didn’t want to face them right now. So he just sank into comfort.

Isn't this what he wanted? To be back with his family? Then why did he feel so empty?

He couldn’t stay awake any longer and sank into sleep.

Maybe if he was lucky he wouldn’t wake up.

—--------------------------------------------

The family was deeply worried after what happened behind the counter. Sun gave a shaky do before he collapsed on the floor screaming at the top of his voice box. Moon had no idea what to do but luckily his brotherly instincts kicked in. He quickly pulled Sun into a hug, but Sun screeched louder but slowly slowed down. HE cradled his brother as he looked up at Earth and Lunar.

Lunar was clearly shocked by the outburst. Moon couldn’t blame him, it was like hearing an animal scream its dying breath. Or someone who just lost something.

“Well…: Earth whispered. “I think we should take him to his room…” Poor Earth, she must feel guilty, Sun started breaking down when he saw her.

 

“I’ll get it ready.” Lunar nods as he runs upstairs. Moon cradled his brother. What on earth had his brother been through? Why did he break down like that? What had happened? Moon knew something must’ve happened with the Creator since The world collapsed almost the second Sun escaped.

Moon slowly got up making sure he didn’t disturb him from sleeping. He went upstairs, and Earth followed close behind. They teleported to the balcony and took Sun to his room. Lunar opened the door, Moon thought he would never open this door again. He carefully laid Sun down, but Sun still gripped him. Not wanting to let go, not even in sleep. Moon looked at his siblings for help and Lunar sprung to action, he grabbed the charging cord and connected it too

Moon, not wanting to wake his brother up, laid right next to Sun who stirred, but went back to sleep closer to Moon.

The other siblings took this as a sign to leave. Moon wanted to know what happened to his brother, to get him like this. He clearly had been through much. His rays were jagged, and his paint was dull, along with the bloodstains and how he was looking at Someone from The Walking Dead. Then again he was coming from a world where the animatronics were infected with the Ruin virus which made them violent, so sort of like zombies.

He snapped out of his thoughts when Sun started to stir and cry out a little bit. “Monty!” He whispered yell, Monty? The one that tried to kill him…? Maybe they became close of some sort? Moon didn’t know but he started to stroke his Brother’s brittle rays, as a means to calm him down.

—----------------------------------------

Earth gives a shaky sigh as she takes a seat on the couch. The way SUn looked at her… his eyes flickered to hate, to sadness, to confusion. He was having an internal conflict, and Earth couldn't help him. She couldn’t even get close, she was worried that the Sun would snap in some way.

 

Lunar put his hand on Earth's knee, “Earth…” he mumbled to her. Earth looks up to see the Lunar. Lunar must still be pretty shaken up from everything as well.

“I’m sorry…” She said, noticing how tears were pricking at her eyes, she wiped them away. “Are you ok?” She immediately turned her worries to her younger brother

“I’m doing ok, it scared me a little…” Lunar sighs as he takes a seat next to his older sister. “But what about you?” Lunar clearly saw how Sun would look at her like he was fighting between attacking or running.

“I…” Earth stopped, it hurt her but something awful must’ve happened there to get that reaction out of the Sun. His screams still echoed in her ears. She had never heard anything so… broken.

Like that before… HE frightened her. “I need time…” Earth finally said. “I want to help him, but I’m afraid…” afraid she’ll make it worse.

“Me too…” Lunar sighs as he leans on her. “But we’ll help him,” Lunar finally said. They would help him, no matter how bad something bad had happened there. Sun would always have his alignment there to help him.

—---------------------------------------

It had been a couple days since that entire episode with Sun screaming, but Sun still seemed distant. His eyes would lurk around the daycare, and he seemed to be on autopilot most of the time. One of the most concerning things is that Sun wouldn't smile, his face would remain blank.

He would keep his gear on even after suggesting they wash it, and SUn would always be gripping those sunglasses like a lifeline. It was like the Sun hadn't come home at all.

Moon and His siblings had gotten insanely worried. Earth suggested to not push him, worry that he might come undone, or shatter like glass. While Moon for once was worried because he was clearly hiding something, he wanted to help but he couldn’t help if he didn't know what happened. He finally decided to do something about it.

 

He gathered everyone, including SUn in a family meeting, Sun was stringing at the wall again. Moon looked at Earth hoping she would be able to start the conversation, he was never good with emotions.

“Uh…” Earth mumbled, Sun turned around quickly and stared at Earth-like he was trying to stalk her down. Yet his glare disappeared as he tried to force himself to relax. Earth was clearly off-putted by this and stopped talking. Moon sighted, he’d start the conversation.

“Sun…” He said looking at his brothers who stared back. “We… we are worried for you, ever since you; ’ve come back you’ve been staring off into space…” Sun looked down at his hands and looked back up. He seemed ashamed. “Nono! Don’t feel bad, we just want to know… what happened?” Moon asked softly.

Sun looked distraught like his mind was flashing before his eyes. Tears started to prick the corner of his eyes.

“You don’t have to say,” Earth said softly.

“We just want to help,” Lunar added.

Sun opened his mouth but nothing came out. He put his hand on his chest where his voice box should be. Oh. he couldn’t talk... “You can sign,” Moon said as he tried to reason with him. Whatever the sun wasn’t telling it was clear it was chipping at him.

Sun lifted up his hands, getting ready to sign

‘Fight’

He signed, he put his hands down as he tried to wipe away his tears. Fight. Moon knew that with all the bloodstains and the fact that the dimension was violent Moon knew that there were fights that broke out

“What fight?” Moon asked, pushing for an answer. The tears started to well more in Sun’s eyes as he lifted up his hands again, they were visibly shaking.

‘War’

He signed once more before the tears started to fall down even more. Sun tried to keep himself but he couldn’t. A war… against who?

“Against who?” Moon asks, walking over to his brother who is clearly about to break down. He was barely keeping himself together.

‘Brain’

Chapter Text

It had been a couple of days since what Sun had said. After he had signed the word ‘brain’ he started to cry, and Moon knew that was the most they were going to get out of him in a while.

So Moon did what he did best and tried to analyze everything that was given. Sun had signed ‘fight’ and then ‘war’ He fought in a war… he couldn't imagine seeing his twin fight much less kill someone, Then with Brain, Moon already knew who it was. 

The Nou, their father in another dimension, the one that started the Ruin virus. From the time he and Sun Were there, the virus had made animatronics act out violently, and Sun had said that there were some survivors, but the one he encountered wore a mask.

So Moon was guessing that to get back, Sun had to fight his way, maybe he joined a rebellion that was there. Bringing the war to the Nou, then causing him to go through the portal. 

If that was the case, Moon felt guilty, about the number of people that were probably killed or that was what Moon was guessing. There can’t be a war without people, the animatronics were infected so it would’ve been Sun and the survivors against the animatronics. Which was already a bad sign and then the entire dimension collapsed. Sun was suffering from the trauma of war and survivor's guilt.

So Moon started to do as much research as he could. He looked for the symptoms, the causes, and the possible cures. 

Some symptoms were anger, depression, and anxiety. These were all things that Sun had been doing, minus the aggression, Moon had to be aware of that if he did start to act angry. Another red flag is that one of the symptoms could be Suicidal thoughts. So Moon was going to have to warn the family about this. To make sure Sun stays safe, make sure he doesn't feel alone.

Then the only possible ways to help the trauma and guilt was to let the victim express their emotions and to get medical help. Moon knew that Earth wasn’t qualified no matter how sweet she was, but Sun needed actual therapy. 

Moon was going to make sure that Sun approved of getting therapy before he signed him up for therapy. Moon should probably get some as well, from all the nightmares that haunted him and the amount of stress and anxiety he felt the entire year but he’ll after Sun get the help he needs.

Earth also seemed to be spending more time with Moon, but Moon knew she was afraid of scaring Sun even more. He would flinch under her touch and look away. He tried to comfort Earth multiple times and she said he’d warm up to her eventually, and that it was ok for him to be scared.

Solar on the other hand seemed to steer away, and Moon understood, that the last time he had a Sun, he accidentally ended up killing him. He didn't want to scare Sun any more than what had already happened.

—-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sun hated the feeling of not doing anything. He missed it, of course, but now it only managed to start up his anxiety. Typically not doing anything meant that something was wrong, typically not doing anything meant that the outside wasn’t protected, or that the battle was over.

He hated not doing anything, so of course he started to do something, he cleaned up the barrels like he always did, it gave him something to do with his hands, once it was done, he walked outside of the daycare, he had started to set patrols up around the daycare. Which was stupid since he knew there was no threat, yet he couldn’t stop himself, after a good 5 laps he’d go back inside and go back to cleaning, and it was just a cycle.

He tried to not think about what had happened over the past couple of days. After he had a mental breakdown after signing the word ‘brain’ He sent his family into a tizzy, and he felt guilty, he should be trying to make his family anxious or worried he should be making them happy! He was gone for a long time, and yet the only thing he could feel was anxiety.

He pushed the thoughts down again. He had to patrol right now.

“SUN!” He heard a voice yell. Sun felt a panic flow through before he ran towards the shouts of the yells. He still had a laser cannon in his arm, he felt himself arm it up and ran into the daycare with his arm up. He was going to make sure nobody would shut his family

Instead of seeing a threat he saw Lunar, who was just at one of the crafting tables, he looked like he wasn’t being attacked, it could be a trap, Sun stepped cruelly close to Lunar with his laser gun still up. It could pop out at any moment…

But what was it?

“Sun?” Lunar questioned tilting his head and looking confused. “Why do you have your arm up like a gun?” His voice was laid back. Was there no threat? 

“You Aren't any danger?” Sun asked, looking around, looking for any sign of a threat. 

“What?” Lunar laughed, and Sun felt his cheeks burn up, did he do something wrong? “No, I just called you to come here and hang out with me!” Lunar walked up to him and handed him a box of crayons.

Sun dropped down his hand. There was no monster, there was no virus-infected animatronic everything was ok. He was at home, there was no danger. “You could’ve just come to me…” Sun murmurs, he unloads the canon in his arm. He tries to calm his anxiety by moving on to other things.

Lunar seemed to notice the distress. “I’m sorry,” Lunar said rubbing Sun's leg. “Would you like to come draw with me?” Sun nodded and Lunar guided him over to the arts and crafts sections. They both took a seat and Lunar handed some papers over.

Sun didn’t know what to draw, it had been a while since he drew anything. He hadn’t even missed drawing or at least not that much. He mostly missed his family, which was the entire reason he started the… revolution. He tried to push those thoughts away too. He has to focus on the picture.

What should draw.. What should he draw… Sun didn’t know, he looked over at Lunar's drawing which he was drawing a bunch of flowers and a bumble bee. Flowers were elfie and so were bumble bees… He should draw a tree! Sun liked trees.

He started to doodle the outline of the tree with a brown crayon. He first drew the stump… then the green, and then the

Fire

Sun felt himself start to panic as he remembered how big the flames were on the tree, he could the screaming children that were still stuck in them, and how he had to run into the flames and save them. How only a couple tries to remember survived including Timothy-

Sun snaps out of it as he looks at the drawing that has red scribbles on it. No, no, no! He shouldn’t be trying to think about it! He quickly turns the picture upside down as he grabs another piece of paper.

He shook his leg nervously trying to find something else to draw. Lunar looked up at him worried. “You ok Sun?” Lunar asks. Sun forced a smile and gave a nod. He looked around the room desperately for another idea to draw. A Freddy plush catches his eye.

He can draw animals! Animals yeah! That’s what he’ll draw. Sun quickly scribbled out a drawing it didn’t look that good and it looked a lot like a wolf… Sun felt his insides drop, a wolf just like how Roxanne was before she died, along with Gregory. There was so much blood… so much screaming… Many people died… There was only suffering-

Sun shook his head as he looked down at the drawings he scribbled out, the wolf had red on it with a small stick figure as well, along with what looked to be a girl crying with blue tears. Sun felt himself grow frustrated, he growled as he grabbed the piece of paper and crumpled it up throwing it across the room.

“Was it that bad?” Lunar tried to joke, but Sun felt tears start to prick in the corner of his eyes. He was starting to hate drawing. When Sun didn’t respond Lunar went back to doodling. Sun tried to cool down his breath and tried to calm himself down. Maybe drawing just wasn’t for him! But he used to be so good at drawing! Sun grabbed the crayon one more time. His grip[ was tight and the crayon started to shake in his hand.

He tries to draw some stars, stars were pretty, they were bright and pretty and they- They were the last thing Monty and Sun liked to talk about. When they spent with each other and talked about everything, the next day everyone died…

Sun felt the tears pour down his cheeks again he couldn’t stop it. He was alive and they weren’t, and remembered everything that flashed before his eyes, so much blood and screaming… He felt a sob escape him as the red crayon snapped in his fingers. He felt himself crumple up all the papers and throw them away. Just like what he wanted to do with his problems.

He felt himself cover his eyes and more sobs escaped him, he couldn’t stop, it just hurt so much. So much to know that only he was left, he wanted these emotions gone, he hated feeling so helpless, he wasn’t supposed to feel like this, he was supposed to feel happy, and proud that he was alive! Yet he couldn’t.

He could feel someone trying to shout his name but he couldn’t hear them he was too far gone, maybe one day he could disappear as well. Like all of his friends.

Maybe that would be for the better…

—-----------------------------------------

Moon and Earth had heard the sobs and they both went running, Sun was on the floor crying hugging his knees while Lunar seemed to have no idea what to do. He just tried to call out his name while Sun just cried.

Moon ran in with Earth following behind, Moon went to see what had happened. “What happened?” He quickly asked Lunar looking at his brother who was still crying. 

“I don’t know”! Lunar cried out. “We were just drawing some pictures then he threw some away and he broke down crying!” Earth went over to pick up some discarded papers. 

“Sun.” Moon tried to say calmly even though he didn’t feel calm, he felt like he was going to start panicking right next to Sun. “Sun…” HE continued trying to ground his brother to reality. Moon tried to tap Sun’s shoulders but he flinched and only curled himself tighter. So the only thing Moon could do was continue to try and call Sun’s name out to try and bring him back.

After a good five minutes, Sun’s cries died down and he slowly uncurled himself. Moon looked over at Sun who was still teary-eyed but he was there. “Hey Sun…” Moon said softly so as to not overwhelm his brother. “Are you feeling a bit better?” Sun gave a shaky nod. “Wanna a hug?” Moon knew how his twin felt comforted by getting hugged and he gave another shaky nod before running into Moon’s arms.

Lunar walked up to Moon holding up the crumpled pieces of paper. “Earth found this.” Lunar handed them to Moon who grabbed it with one hand while he held Sun in the other. The crumpled papers had drawings. The first one was a tree… but it was engulfed in what looked to be flames. The second was an animal but there was a little human in the arms of another., The one that seemed to be dead had a bullet hole while the other sobbed. The animal also seemed to have a bullet hole. The final one was a dark picture of stars, and on the ground, two people were looking at them, but one of the little figures' faces was scribbled out furiously.

Was… Was this what had happened in the other dimension? Moon felt more concern bubble up in him. He thanked Lunar before returning his attention to his brother. 

What on earth happened to his brother?

Notes:

It's been a whole since I've updated the story! I hope you guys enjoyed this! I'm planning to make some new stories as well! So I hope you'll enjoy them!

I have little too no ideas for this fic! Though I might end up making an arc where Sun realizes that the Creator in this dimension is alive and tries to go after him. To keep his family safe from what happened in the Ruin dimension. Feel free to give ideas since I really need them!

I hope you enjoyed! Thank you for Reading!

Chapter 3: A/N

Chapter Text

This work is being discontinued, I do not like what I have written so far. I really do hate it and wish it to burn. Luckily I will be making another work, same premise but I'll be doing it a little more different. It'll actually probably take a lot more darker tones than what I originally did.

So keep an eye out for a work like that!
