2 years later

Everything...has changed for Gradient. Not just in himself, but his whole life, and it was...complicated or him, as he does not know whether it had changed for him in a good way he a bad way. Needless to say, Gradient felt very conflicted at wha has happened to him from this point on. Because on one hand, he manage to learn some new skills, he felt far more powerful than ever before, and he even manage to master the Error heritage within himself. Hell, he even manage to finally have somewhat of a close relationship when his father, Error. But on the other hand, fate had to trade this relationship with Ink Sans, who has now become his enemy, and the most personal one yet. Needless to say, Gradient really hates the situation that he is inside of right now, but knows that there is nothing that he can do about this mess.

It has been 2 full years. 2 years since the day Ink Sans had been corrupted by his new soul. 2 years since he had been trained by Error404 Sans in growing more stronger than before, and 2 years...since he had been separated form his loved ones. Even though he has a bad memory, even a bad memory like the one that Gradient has will not allow him to forget what had happened to him in the past. And ever since he had been with Error404, his memory has improved much better than before, to the point where he can only temporarily forget what was inside of his mind, only to remember what it was that he had forgotten.

The training with Error404 Sans, it was much more harsh compared to the training that he has with Ink Sans, though Error404 was a bit more  patient compared to Ink Sans, his own father. Error404 kept on pushing him to his limit, and past it, and kept on trying to make him grow stronger. While he did learn to do strings, first from Error Sans, who had to get used to the presence of his eldest son, and taught him to control people, Error404 taught him more strings. He was taught to use the red strings, just like Error Sans, though the damage of the body is far more physical and not mental. But unlike Error, the other strings that he has were far different compare to Error Sans himself. Gradient learned to use yellow strings, which can act as a temporary pathogen to those he targets in wrapping their souls around, in order for him to control them for 2 hours. And the Grey strings, which can act as a sedating trap of sorts to those that are caught in it. And Gradient himself learned to make a new string of his own, which impressed Error404, since it is a string that he has never taught before, and a set of strings that he never thought that Gradient Sans could make. The strings for when he went to Glitchtale, and stole a piece of the Punk Soul of Fear, and used the magic of the Pink Soul to make Pink Strings. These strings work similar to the black strings that Error Sans has, except that unlike the black strings, when the pink strings wraps around a soul, they will hallucinate with the very thing that they fear the most, if that person has any fear at all, and Gradient can control the hallucination that they are seeing before their eyes, which can vary from person to person.

Due to Gradient having developed some powers that are similar to Error404, such as his pixel manipulation, Error404 taught Gradient to manipulate pixels to an extent greater than ever before. Gradient, when under the control of his Error personally, he can only use these pixels to destroy any different Alternate Universes that he can find himself in. But now, thanks to Error404, he can manipulate pixels to use it for construction, and when using it on himself, he can use it to heal himself. And with his new Pixel Manipulation skills, he can use the pixels to make a whip that is similar to the Glitch Whip that Error404, except that it is not as long as the Glitch Whip, and is in fact half of his length, and unlike the Glitch Whip, he uses the stylus as a handle for his own variation of the whip.

And just like his father, Error, he has been trained in making a weaker version of the God Ray that Error404 has, which is called the Defect Ray. It is very powerful to the point that any person or object that gets in the way it the Defect Ray, is instantly destroyed from the moment that they get struck with it, whether at point black range or at a distance, or can destabilize their powers to the point that it can work against the one using their powers. But that only applies to people that exist in their own universe that are extremely weaker compare to Gradient, to those that are not gods. To those that are slightly weaker, or to those that are as strong as Gradient, and are gods, they are simply damaged and slowly weakened for a temporary amount of time, always for about a minute. But despite how poweful it may seem, the firing power is actually just as poweful as the Glitch Ray, which his father, Error has.

The years of training that he had gained from Error404 ha same him a far more different person this ever before. Now he no longer acts as kind and shy as he once used to be in the past. And in fact, he is now far more cold than ever, to the point of being nearly emotionless, and yet has a stern tone of voice and expression on his face, and has very little tolerance of time being wasted, and even when he does get angry, he acts angry in a calm manner. And thanks to Error404 Sans, he is now skilled in the art of manipulation, though not to the same extent, admittedly when compared to Error404. But to make up for this setback, he uses his creative mind to help him with manipulation. But in spite of all that he had become, in spite of the fact that Gradient had become more ruthless and not as fun-loving as before, deep down, he is still the same Gradient as he once was 2 years back. He is still the same introverted and extroverted spawn that is with his brothers back when he was still with them, and back when Ink Sans was still alive. But because of the fact that he is now separated from them, and the fact that he had been training with Error404, nit to mention the traumatic experience he had with Ink Sans, he pushes the feelings of his old self down, to the point where it looked like it stopped existing, when in reality, it is simply locked away. As when he is in a private area, he would look at the photo of when he was still with them, and would have a calm, yet very sad and depressed expression on his face, wishing that he had been with them in the Omega Timeline, but knows that there is simply no turning back. And because of this, he has to act under the influence of Error404, but still hopes that he can reunite with them, as soon as he finds a way to enter the Omega Timeline all on his own.

And when it comes to the relationship with Error Sans, his other father, his beliefs have not changed in the slightest , and does still in fact hate Gradient. But now he does have some form of care to him, even though he does not show it, and as much as he hates to admit it, he needs Gradient in order to try and help in trying to bring back Ink Sans to who he once was in the past, which is extremely difficult, due to the fact that the soul he had gotten is far to fused into its position. Which us a piece of the soul of a species called the Unnameable. They are very dangerous to be with, so much that even making contact with one is said to be severely forbidden, as the Unnameables can not only feed on the thoughts of other people, but their skill in manipulation is truly unrivaled, as not even Error404 Sans himself, who is a skilled manipulator, can match their level or manipulation, which Ink Sans has made contact with and resulted I him becoming the way that he is. Because of this, Gradient has become fearful of the Unnameables, and tried to avoid them as much as possible and not interact with them, though there is a sort of event that had happened in which Gradient came close to making contact with one.

During a mission of sorts that they had, Gradient, Error Sans, and Error404 had to go and kill an Unnameable during a type of place that they are in. But Gradient had been sent somewhere else, and...Gradient does not remmber what happened next, but he does know that he almost got killed in action, due to 50% of his soul having been taken by an entity, though he was able to kill said entity, and he damn near lost his life as a result. But an Unnameable, who had spotted him, was able to resurrect Gradient by putting a small piece of its soul into the area where the missing 50% was in, which is at the center of the soul. This also had an interesting effect on his body, because it enhanced is strength and speed immensely, and while not to the same extent as Ink Sans and Error404, he can now give them much more of a challenge than before, not to mention bi no insanely durable. But there is one effect of the Unnameable that did make Gradient a little bit uneasy about what he can do. When the piece of the Unnameable's soul was planted into the place where a piece of his regular soul was, it did something to his left arm. It had sprouted...eyes...all on the arm. It went up from his shoulder, all the way down to his hand, and the palm he as single eye on it. And the eye...it resembles Gradient's own eyes. Because of this, he covers up his right arm with a white sleeve, similar to Error's coat, except that it is lined with 6 eyes, of Gradient's appearance, instead of the appearance that had Error's eyes on it. Meaning 3 of the left eye, and 3 of the right eye, going down vertical.

The place that Gradient is inside of right now, it is known as the Digital Sphere. It has a resemblance to the Doodle Sphere, due to the fact that it has floating islands, which are pixelated and breaking apart and repairing at the bottom, and in the place of pages are digital art pictures of the AUs, and they looked very perfect and beautiful, with the area, instead of a golden color such as the Doodle Sphere, is a green color, and the unique thing about the Digital Sphere is that pieces of the Digital Sphere get broken and destroyed, only for it to be reformed as something much more better in its place, with the AUs being unaffected by this. This destroy and recreate power is reflecting on the previous nature of Gradient, where he would make some art, and than he wake destroy it if he thinks that it is ugly, only to create something else that can be far more beautified than the previous art that he has made.

Gradient is now watching through a screen that he has made inside of the Digital Sphere, and needless to say, it is a screen is only useable to anyone that is an Error, such as Gradient himself. And needless to say, others such as Error and Error404 can also make a screen such as this one. He looked at the screen, and he looks at what Ink Sans is doing.

Now a Hollow shell of his former self, acting all out of control, this is making Gradient feel sick to his stomach, as he sees that the person that Ink Sans once used to be having now becoming incredibly hideous and monstrous in appearance and behavior. It made Gradient sick to his soul, as he cannot help but see his own parent the way that he is, and than, he made another screen...which shows of the Omega Timeline. The Omega Timeline may have been cut off from the rest of the Multiverse, but he can still look through it like a camera of sorts. After all, the Omega Timeline was also his birth place. He watches, as the various survivors have lived inside of their new home, and he watches, as he sees his own siblings, they are hanging out as usual, and while they may look happy on the surface, he can tell that they are still sad of what has happened to Gradient, and it made Gradient himself sad, as he than touched his hand onto the screen, as he than spoke out to them, almost as if he thinks they can hear him.

"Someday-day-day, I will-ill find a wa-a-a-ay back into-to-to the Omega Timeline again-gain, everyone.  I swear-wear-wear, I will come back to it, my birthplace."

Gradeint looked down, as he clenched his fist, as he continues to make this vow in hoping that he can find a way back into the Omega Timeline, but for now, he can't. And as Gradient looked at the Omega Timeline, a voice spoke out.

"Gradient."

Gradient removed the screen, and turned too see Error Sans, his father.

He is floating in the air, just like Gradient is, as his hand is in his pockets, and he is much more taller, by the height of 5'4, and has a white coat with eyes on the right arm, as well as some new clean short pants, with Error having a stern look on his face, as he than spoke out to Gradient.

"Error404, he wan-wan-wants us to come to hi-i-im now."

Gradient nodded, as he than went close to him, as he than made a portal to where Error404 is at, as the father and the son entered the dimension that Error404 resides in, and they walked clamly to wherever he is at now. This is Gradient's new life. It's the life of Gradient, God of both Creation and Destruction.
