Chapter Three: Life

The GIF above has nothing to do with the story. I found it and thought that it was funny. (Credits to it's original owner.) 

Enjoy~

~~~~~~

Third Person's POV:

Word got around throughout the Multiverse that Error was finally defeated by Ink. Some cheered and partied. Others mourned his defeat. But a few knew that he wasn't completely defeated.

Once the entire Gang found out of Error's defeat, they rushed to where Error was kept. Most of them cried. A few were enraged. One in particular felt guilty. Guilty that he hadn't been able to convince Ink to stay instead of investigating the AU. Guilty that at one point of his life, he was the one fighting with Dream and Ink against Error. Blinded by lies. He hated lies.

It was when Error had kidnapped him, he saw the truth. That they were not originally bad people, but that they were made- no, forced into these roles.

Nightmare became what he is now because he was hated by all just because he was the Guardian of Negativity. He was also bullied when he was younger by the villagers. Not even his own brother was able to save him from it.

Killer was driven insane by the resets. His Chara offered to take him on a different path. He accepted and they merged together.

Horror's AU was starving. They turned to cannibalism for help.

Dust's human was evil. He was forced to kill his AU off over and over to gain L.O.V.E. just to be able to kill the human. In the end, it drove him insane and unsuccessful.

Cross was a puppet to X for the longest time. Experimented on and tortured by X. A few experiments and tests had almost killed him. One in particular was him and his Chara to merge by cutting their souls in half and sowing them together just to see if they would live or not. All of them were just games to him....

And Error? He was taken from his AU by Fate, and can't even remember it. Memories, family, friends, a brother perhaps? All of which were taken from him by Fate. Forced into becoming Ink's counterpart. Becoming Error, the (Forced) God of Destruction. Many monsters see Error and immediately call for Ink, not knowing the truth behind the destruction.

After Blue returned to Underswap, he headed straight to bed. Once again, Honey (US!Papyrus) wasn't home. But Blue was too tired to care. He quickly went to sleep.

Blue's POV:

I woke up later than usual. Honey was probably still sleeping. As I sat up, I heard a few satisfying pops come from my back. I changed my clothing and forced on a 'happy' smile. I headed downstairs and to the kitchen. I didn't feel like making my signature tacos, so I had some toast instead. After breakfast, I quickly gathered a few medical supplies and headed out the door in a rush.

Error's POV:

I don't know how long I was out, but I knew it wasn't long. My soul didn't feel like it was set on fire and thrown into the void like it did when I was out for a few weeks. I opened my eyes, my vision was black for a few seconds, but it eventually cleared up.

Sitting up was easier than expected. Wasn't I just in the crumbling AU? Taking in my surroundings, I realized I was... In my room? Looking down, I see my arms and body were covered in bandages.

Had someone heard my call for help?

It was quiet and peaceful for a few moments. It was nice. I wanted it to last longer. The voices were back shouting insults at me again.

"Get up, lazy ass!"

"Why are you still alive?"

"Go do your job, maybe you will get killed!"

One in particular stood out.

"Are you alright?"

I found myself shaking from the kind words.

"̛W̕h͟y̢̛ d̕o͏̛ ͟͟ỳoù̢ ҉͝ça̵̡͏re̴?" I asked, my voice laced with confusion.

"Believe it or not, Error, not all of us are bad."

I blinked. Did I hear her correctly? The other voices quieted.

"͏̢H̶o̡̧͜w ͏͡ḑ͘o͘ ̀͡͡I̛ ̡k͡ǹ̸̡o̡̧͠w̛ ̸̧t̵̷͞h̵a̴t̢̨͘ ̕yo̸͝͏u ̴̷̨à̕͢r҉́e̵͞ ̶̕n̡͡ǫ͢t̡̀͡ ļ͘y͏҉̀in̡g͞?̸" I questioned again. The other voices were silent. Not a sound could be heard from then.

"I assure you that I am not and good things are headed your way. They may take some time to recognize then though. Enjoy them while they last. And remember, I will be there to help and support you whether you realize it or not. Farewell, Error." The voice disappeared and the others slowly came back.

"́Wa̡it̴́͜!̕" I called out, but received no answer from the kind and gentle female voice.

I sat there for a few minutes thinking about what she said. Who was she? Why was she so nice to me? What did she mean by 'good things are headed my way'? How does she know what the future holds?

My thoughts were interrupted when the door opened to a skeleton in grey battle body armor. We locked eyes for a good few seconds before he shouted my name.

Blue's POV:

I created a portal to Nightmare's Mansion and ended up in the living room. I had a quick chat with the gang, who looked devastated and tired, before heading up the stairs to Error's room. Upon opening the door, I see a glitching skeleton sitting up on his bed. I stared at him in disbelief for a few moments.

"ERROR!" I yelled, overly joyed to see him awake so soon.

I ran to him, dropping all of the medical supplies and belongings in the process. I gently hugged him, remembering his injuries. Oh my stars, I wanted to squeeze him I was so happy.

The gang ran up the stairs, probably because they heard Error's name being yelled by me.

Error's POV:

The Gang appeared through the door and ran to us. A few of them gasped. Others were speechless. They all went up to me and hugged me very gently. My haphephobia doesn't affect me right now because they are like- no, are my family. I would do anything for them. Even if if means sacrificing myself for their safety. Not like I could die but you know what I mean. I hugged back weakly and eventually let go to see their faces.

"Don't s-scare us like t-that again!" Killer said, partly crying.

"̛N҉̡o͝ ͏pr̷̢oḿi̧̧͏s͟͢e̴͞s̸." I smirked.

They laughed a little. I smiled some and yawned.

Third Person's POV:

"C'mon guys, lets leave Error to rest." Horror announced after seeing me yawn.

"Sorry, I can't yet. I have to heal him before anything happens." Blue stated.

"Okay. See ya Error!" Dust replied before heading out of the door with the others.

The rest of The Gang headed out of the door and soon it was Blue and Error left. Blue picked up the medical and personal belongings and set them on the nightstand.

"Okay, Error, can you take off the arm bandages for me? I need to heal the remaining injuries from the battle. Please and thank you!" Blue asked politely.

"̛S̢͜u̵re̶̢ ́̕͜t҉̶h̴̨͏i̶̢ń̵͟g̴ B̷l̶̡u͠ȩ̀.̕"̷̵͢  Error replied to him.

Error proceeded to remove the bandages quickly and carefully. He then placed them beside the bed and out of the way. After taking off all of the bandages, Blue walked up to him and began to heal him. A soft green color glowed from Blue's hands, healing whatever was under and touching them. Error watched with interest. He himself couldn't do it, so he watched silently as Blue healed cracks and scraps along his two arms. 'Healing' to Error was his strings wrapping around his broken or missing bones and becoming the new bone. They weren't as strong but it was quick alternative, and he didn't need someone else to help. So he sat there and watched as Blue healed all of his minor injuries that were left over from the last time.

After about an hour or so, Blue was finished healing. Blue picked up his things and said his farewells with Error. Then he left to meet up with Dream and Ink. Not even a minute later, Error had gone to sleep.

Everyone in Nightmare's Gang was happy. All except one.

He had to go deal with the rainbow asshole and yellow demon now.

Have a nice day (or night) guys, gals, and non-binary pals!
