Chapter 23: Destruction is the Only Solution
Hehe yes I'm still here. Just trying to focus on my new oneshot story a bit more. Requests are open for that story btw. ;3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Error's POV: You know..... I don't think I've ever felt so......angry....
I looked down at the bed I sat on, which was stained with my many tears. Why the hell am I crying? I should've known this from the start. Like everyone else, Ink was gonna break my heart. Because no one could EVER love a glitch. I lauged a quite....satanic...laugh. I stood shakily, still laughing. I took in a deep breath as I stood in front of the mirror in my room. My clothes were quite damp from my little meltdown, so I guess I should change, and my eyes....I've never seen them be so red......and not from the crying. I felt much of the anger swell up inside me as I stared at myself....squeezing my hands into fists. A grin came onto my face.
"So Ink....you like breaking my HEaRt...." my grin became wider with my voice gaining a darker tone, "WELl LetS sEe hoW LOng iT takEs bEFore I BreAk yoU...."
Ink's POV: Everything had seem to go down smoothly with Dream. Of course he's still upset, but he's healing slowly. He went outside to get some fresh air and look at the stars. It always calmed him down so I didn't oblige. I really do hope he's doing ok. I sat on the couch silently. Blue had gone off to visit Red. I don't really know why Blue doesn't just confess. Heck this dumbass author doesn't even make any sort of chapter about them here to set them up.
(Ok Ink I know you're a creator and everything, but can you not break the fourth wall?!)
"Hey. I'm only stating the truth here!"
(Oh can you speak louder? I don't think all of the multiverse could hear you....)
"Ugh fine...." I said to the voice who seemed to love torturing me.......I'm going insane. Jesus.
For a brief moment I felt a small pain in my soul. It shocked my slightly, but I brushed it off. Big mistake there. A minute after, my soul started burning. I clutched it and fell to the ground trying to hold back from screaming. What is this- My pupils went small as my eye sockets widened. The universes.....but Error hasn't..... something is wrong....
I shakily rose to my feet clutching my chest. It took me a minute to gain my focus and when I did I managed to teleport to the void. I was shocked at the sight before me. In front of me was the house I made for Error, but the house was terribly broken. The house was literally torn into two separate pieces and even those two parts were breaking. Both of the pieces were being held up by strings. Almost every window on the house was broken and I could tell that if the strings tightened anymore the entire complex would collapse instantly. For some reason there were many glitches and errors surrounding the home....or what was a home.
"W-Why would he do this...." I asked myself. Despite the many glitches, I couldn't sense Error anywhere around in the void. I gained my composure again and teleported to the universe I sensed being destroyed. I appeared in a snowy area, surrounded by trees of dark red leaves. The snow had quite a bit of monster dust around it and the buildings of snowdin were tinted red and contained a small, but slightly evil aura. I knew right then and there that I was in Underfell. I felt another pain and my soul causing me to grit my teeth. I could tell Error was here since blue strings littered the buildings. Even though it felt like Error just got here, the universe was still a mess. In fact some of it was decoding itself and glitching out terribly. I wondered if anyone in Snowdin was still 'here'. Suddenly, something clicked in my mind. If Blue went to visit Red.....t-then that means.
"AAAAAAAAHHHH!!!" A blood curtling scream came out. No.....Blue!! I ran as fast as I could in the direction towards the scream. Please don't be....oh please. Stopping dead in my tracks I saw Blue and Red both being hung up by strings as well as their souls. Blue had a few tears fall down his face and Red was trying his best to escape. In front of then stood the one who brought destruction, Error. Blue opened his eyes and saw me, showing a small glimmer of hope.
"Ink!!" Error flinched at Blue's outburst and turned to face me. His pupils were small, but filled with anger. His whole body seemed to even have a darker color. The aura circling him was even darker. He grinned chaotically which sent a shiver down my spine. The way he spoke actually scared me more.
"wElL WelL WEll....." Why was his voice so different?.... "NicE oF YoU TO FINnallY sHoW Up...." Error clenched his fist, tightening his hold on the two skeletons. The grit their teeth in pain and shut their eyes tightly. My eyes widened. What is Error doing? What is he thinking? Error then loosened the string's grip. Blue and Red then gasped for air. Error chuckled evilly.
"OH I'm sOrrY. I dIDn't HUrt yoU....DId I?..." Error said as he again pulled the strings, this time only tighter. Blue let out a cry of pain and Red had an expression I've never seen on his face before. In Underfell, if you held the expression he had on his face right now, everyone would probably laugh at you or beat you until you cried. Red didn't say anything, but I could see in his eyes that he was pleading for me to help. He was pleading for mercy.
"STOP IT!!!" I cried out. Error only held on tighter. I could see a few small cracks appear on their souls as Red and Blue slowly lost oxygen. I teared up and pleaded almost screaming, "STOP IT NOW!!PLEASE!!" Error's grin beacame wider as he again loosened his grip causing the two tied skeletons to cough and gasp. I growled still teary and took out my paintbrush. "What the hell is wrong with you!?" I screamed. I never thought I could be so angry at someone I loved. Error snickered.
"Don'T Be SO anGRy Ink...." he held Blue's soul which hovered above his hand, "It'S AlL JuST Fun anD GamES..."
No One's POV: Error then gripped harshly ont Blue's soul causing him to scream in pure terror and pain. Ink could hear cracking sounds as Error continued to crush the soul.
"NO!!!" Ink yelled as he fired a gaster blaster at Error. The glitchy skeleton teleported and dogged with ease. He appeared behind Ink, who was already turned around and glaring at who he thought was his lover.
"NiCE TrY TheRE ShORTy, BUT I'm noT ThaT EAsY To CaTCH....." Ink growled in anger. Error surprisingly released the two skeletons and let their souls return to their bodies. Blue face planted and seemed two weak to move, but Red immediately tried getting to his feet. Error smirked and with his magic, threw Red to the trunk of a tree. He then shot a blue bone into his left arm. Red screeched. He tried to pull it out, but it went threw his bone and was implanted into the trunk. Red was weak and trapped. Ink's pupils got small as the shapes in his eyes disappeared. "SOrRy. I JUst cOUld'nT HavE anY PosSIblE inTEruPtIonS...." Error said. Ink turned to him with a dark glare. "YoU LOok MaD...." Error said sarcastically.
"No shit Sherlock..." Ink snapped. Error put his heart on his chest dramatically.
"SUCh NaUGhty LanGUaGE INk... WE ShoULd puT ThAt DiRtY MouTH Of YoURS TO ResT...." two glitchy blasters appeared behind Error, "permanently......." The blasters quickly fired. Ink quickly used his paintbrush, swiping upwards with black paint that shielded him from the blast. Error grinned and stomped on the ground, making blue bones appear right under Ink. He used this to his own advantage. As the bones harshly came under him, Ink jumped and was launched into the air. Error wasn't stupid though. (Are you sure about that?) Gaster blasters quickly appeared surrounding him from all sides. Ink teleported away just in time as the fired at him once more. He appeared behind Error, whom had quickly sent a bone threw his chest, already being ready for it. Ink turned around and pulled the bone out, grunting in pain.

"Shit..." Ink thought to himself, "he's really serious about this." He quickly regained his composure and stood up straight. "Well I guess I should be serious too...." Ink quickly threw the bone from his chest back at Error. It barely missed his head as he moved to the left. Error growled and the two charged at each other. This wasn't just one of their normal brawls anymore. Error now truly intended to kill the other and Ink still doesn't know why. The battle went on and on. One attack after another. The two hit each other countless times. Both of their health bars were diminishing slowly and so was their energy. The two were now sweating and panting from all the magic use and could barely move anymore. Suddenly, the two shot each other a glare as they simultaneously shot a blaster at each other. They blast hit , both being equal in power as one stream pushed back and forth against the other. Soon the blasters disappeared as the two skeletons fell to their knees completely drained. They took large breathes and they were both were pretty sure they were about to pass out. Ink suddenly spoke up surprising the glitch.
"Why E-Error..." he asked. Error looked up emotionless. "I tried....I tried to show you happiness...I built you a home....I baked you cookies.....I showed you how much I loved you...so why?" Ink looked up teary eyed. "Why would you do this....?" Error growled. This time his voice was much more serious and steady. More errors and pixels surrounded Error as he struggled to stand.
"Love me? Love me!? That is such a lie! I saw you with Dream! I know what you did! ALL THE THINGS YOU DID WERE LIES!!" Error somehow had enough strength too launch a bone at Ink. "JUST DIE!!!!" Ink braced himself for immense pain, but it never came. Instead the bone was knocked away and landed elsewhere. Ink opened his eyes and gasped. Dream was standing above him, his staff in hand.
"D-Dream...?" Error's eyes widened as he teleported away, knowing he couldn't take down a fully powered skeleton in his weakened state. Dream huffed and turned to Ink, his pupils immediately flooding with worry. He helped Ink stand up and pat his back as he coughed a bit. "Th-thank you Dream..." Dream smiled.
"After I cleared my head I waited at home. When you our Blue didn't return without a trace, I went to look for you two. I was really worried.....but I'm glad I made it here in time." Ink nodded thankfully. His eyes the widened in sudden realization.
"BLUE!!" Ink then started running back towards the direction of Blue and Red, Dream following close behind. When they found the two, Ink ran to Blue's side seeing he was passed out. Dream on the other hand ran to Red who was about to faint. Dream struggled, but managed to pull the bone out of Red's arm. Red looked to tired to scream, but he flinched a bit. Dream put his right arm around his neck helping the edgy skeleton stand. Despite his lack of energy, Ink picked Blue up bridal style and took a look at Underfell. It was pretty broken before, but now it was almost completely destroyed. Not just from Error attacking it, but from Ink's attacks as well. Dream looked at Ink.
"We can fix the AU later Ink, but right now we need to get Blue and Red to safety so we can give them medical attention. It's too unstable here now." Ink sighed and nodded. Dream opened up a portal to Outertale and jumped through. Ink followed racing to their home. Along the way, one question stuck in his mind.
"What did Error mean by what he and Dream did...."
