Alternate Positivity Guardian
Dust has no idea what had just happened, nor does he know what he had done. All that he had done is touch onto a picture of some sort on the page of the Book of Eyes, and then, all of a sudden, he is now getting transported to a different Multiverse, along with Glitch, Braixen, Ninetales, and the newest member of the group, Dustshift Chara, who has decided to tag along. Although, this is only because Dustshift Chara finds Dust Sans cute, and that is a very embarrassing reason to give to Dust, although he can't lie, Chara is also beautiful herself, not that Dust himself would say it out loud, as that would make things embarrassing for him. So, he just remains silent and simply just travels into whatever it is that he and the others are going to, but to where is the big question. The picture that he had accidentally pressed back there, it showed a nearly empty Oval of some sort. When he had looked at the pages of the Multiverses inside of the Book of Eyes, the Multiverses are depicted as having groups of AUs that appear to be in the form of different shapes, but in a swirly and misty way. But the Multiverse, it only has a single dot inside of the Oval, and it is very tiny, almost to the point that it is unnoticeable. That must mean that it is a nearly empty Multiverse of some sort, but what has caused the AU to be nearly empty in the first place? Well, whatever it is, Dust is going to try and find out with the rest of his friends, as well as the human that seems to have a crush on him.
Dust and the others are travelling through a void of some sort, but before, they were in a tunnel of gold and green energy, and there were some images inside of the tunnel. But the group did not pay attention to it. They instead looked forward or at themselves in order to see where they are going. And then, after what seems to be an entire minute in darkness, the Group than rocketed upwards as high as they are able to and shot up into the air. And that is if they are truly in the air at all. And then, after a little bit more, they then looked down at the ground, and saw that they are about to fall. But the fall is slow, as if the gravity of the area that they are in is now lessened badly. The group began to slowly float down, as they then landed onto the ground. They looked around, and they saw that they are now in what appears to be Outertale...but everything...it now feels much more different. It feels empty, dead, gone, despite the fact that the AU exists, but there is one thing that made Dust and the other see that it appears to be not Outertale anymore. The stars that are all over the cold vacuum in space, it is all gone. All that is now surrounding the entirety of what appears to be Snowdin is now a black void of some sort. It is as though the entirety of Snowdin now lives inside of the Void.
Dust Chara looks around, as a smile of interest appeared on her face, and she looks around to see that it is covered in small specks of monster dust, as Chara than spoke out to the group.
"Wow. I wonder what happened to this AU?"
Dust than stepped forward, as he looks around, before he than spoke out to the others.
"It looks like a genocide of some kind, but I do not sense any killing intent in the air. And even more strange...do any of you feel any happy feelings of sorts?"
This caught everyone's attention, and sure enough, they do feel it. They are feeling a strange feeling of happiness and joy, even though there is nothing that is making them happy. What in the world is going on? Why are they feeling that? And Dust can feel that it is not spreading to just this AU. If is so large that it can spread to a few other nearby AUs without problem. What in the world is happening, and more important, where is this aura even coming from? It feels similar to Nightmare's aura, but different. When he felt it from Nightmare, he can feel pure despair, hopelessness, and insanity from just being near him. It is a miracle that he got out of this one mentally intact. This....this aura makes him feel like he is able to heal from his traumas. It makes him remember all of the good times he had back then, all the times he hung out with Papyrus, the happiness in his childhood, him being with his father Gaster, before everything else went to hell. And whatever is making this Aura, it is allowing him to feel more and more mentally better than ever before, and he does not know why. The same is said for Glitch Sans, who is feeling the same thing, minus the countless Genocides that Dust had to go through. Braixen and Ninetales, they are also feeling this as well, as they are feeling the sensation that they are safe and secure, like a warm blanket has covered them up and allow them to have a good night sleep with a good Dream to give them the sleep that they deserve.
Dust than looks around the area that the whole group is in, as he tries to find out who it is that is making such a very powerful aura in this AU. But the problem is, he has no idea where. As the aura is everywhere, he cannot track it. And the aura is still powerful equally in range, as even far away, it is just as strong as when up close. Dust got a little frustrated at this sort of fact, and thus, he needs to find a way to do this.
"Damnit."
Glitch looks at Dust, seeing that he is feeling a little bit frustrated for some reason, as Glitch than spoke out to him.
"Dust? What's wrong? Can't you track where this person is?"
Dust shook his head, as he than spoke out.
"No, I can't. The aura at this radius is extremely powerful and equally strong, I can't track them and their exact position. All that we know is that the person that is responsible for making this is somewhere around here, and for some reason, he feels like an opposite to Nightmare's power."
This made Glitch confused, as he spoke out.
"What do you mean by that?"
Dust than looked at Glitch and he than spoke out.
"Do you remember this feeling back when we faced against Nightmare? Where when we were in his presence, we felt all sorts of negative feelings, such as Hopelessness, Despair, Madness, Insanity? Did you feel all of that when we were in the presence of Nightmare?"
This made Glitch looked down, and sure enough, he did feel that. He felt a sensation such as this, and it is powerful. It made Glitch want to quit fighting and just accept the inevitability of defeat and death. It made Glitch want to hope he dies in his sleep, as he is forced to relive all of the worst moments in his entire life. Glitch looked up and nodded his head.
"Yeah, I did feel something such as that. Why do you ask?"
Dust than looks at Glitch and spoke out.
"Feeling this aura, it feels like the opposite of Nightmare. It is making me remember all of the most pure and more happy times I had back in my AU. I can feel so much Positivity inside of me forming these sorts of images of my memories inside of my head."
Than, it clicked inside of Glitch, as he than remembered that Shattered had once been a positivity guardian, as he than spoke out.
"Do you think that the one that is making this aura, is Dream, or at least, this version of Dream in this Multiverse?"
Dust looks up at Glitch and spoke out.
"Most certainly. After all, he is the only one that can counter the power of Nightmare, and has even fought against him before many times in the past. And if that is the case, than this can be our ticket into getting our Multiverse saved."
Glitch can see where he is coming from, and he nodded his head, understanding where Dust is going to. After all, Dream is a Positivity Guardian, and the fact that there is a version of him this powerful is very good news hearing.
"Than let us not wait around. We need to go and find this Multiverse'a Dream."
Chara than goes up to the 2 Sanses, as she held onto Dust's hand, and Dust looks at Chara, who is slightly taller than Dust, as she than spoke out.
"So, how do you plan on finding this, Dream, handsome? After all, he is powerful and you can't seem to track him."
Dust than spoke out.
"I know. But this is the only Multiverse that has a single AU, and it is also likely the only AU where Dream is still in. We need to find him, even if we need to look around the entire underground just to find him. I'm confident that he is around here, somewhere, possibly in this version of Snowdin."
Chara smiled, seeing that Dust is confident that he can find this version of Dream somewhere inside of this AU. Braixen and Ninetales also went to Dust, and they also joined in, as they also want to help look for Dream. Dust smiled, as he than spoke out.
"So why waste our time? Let's go and find this Multiverse's version of Dream."
Everyone nodded, as they all went to find Dream, and needless to say, it is one hell of a tough job, due to how large the area is. But Dust and the others are very determined to find him. Chara can even think much more clearly, since Dream's aura is able to negate even the Hate inside of her, but did not get rid of it. They continued to walk around, as they looked as high and low as they can in order to find him. And while the job is tough, they are to determined to stop, and they want on for as long as they can, they kept moving for as long as they can, and then...they saw a glow in the distance. A bright Golden Glow, which reminded Dust of Shattered, except it is far less sickening and more rich.
"Could it be?"
Dust and the others looked at each other, before they than walked up to the area where the glow is coming from, but the glow also seems to be moving. Almost to their direction. Dust and the others than walked into the empty town of Snowdin, as they looked around, before the sounds of flapping was heard. The group looked up, and saw a powerful glow coming from above, resembling a Golden Portal, and coming out from the portal, it almost has a humanoid appearance, and it went down, right in front of Dust and the others, who than looked shocked, as they see who it is that has appeared before them.
The entity that has appeared before them...he resembles Shattered, except that he has no goo all over his body, so they can see what he is actually wearing. has an outfit of black stocking-like pants and a withered light yellow coat with tips of cyan. He sports a golden crown and belt, unlike the black crown and belt that Shattered had worn, and the belt is cyan with only the 'DS' initials being gold in color. But in the place of where Tentacles of negativity should be, there is a pair of Golden Wings in his back, and it is not just a single pair. Beneath the first pair is another pair, that is just as large at the ones that are being shown. Dust also notices that the tips of the gloves are gone, exposing the tips of his fingers, which are strangely ending in what seems to be sharp claws, and they seem to be strong enough to cut through even the toughest metal with the most durable magic, though Dust could be over exaggerating the sharpness. The hood of this Sans is over his skull, and his Golden Eyes glowed, but not in a menacing way. He looks scary, but Dust could tell that this one is friendly. He than stepped forward, as he spoke out.
"Hey, are you Dream?"
The entity looked at Dust, and he can tell that this Sans seems to recognize him in a way.
"Yes, I am Dream, the Guardian of Positivity. And from what I can assume, you are from another Multiverse, yes?"
This made Dust surprised, as he than spoke out.
"How do you know that?"
Than, Dream looks at Dust in the eyes, as he spoke out.
"You are not the first entities from the Multiverse that I have met. There is another one that I have met, and he is far different from all of you. And also...I also have experiences with other Multiverses also. And unfortunately, it is this act that has made the Multiverse I live in now as empty as this."
Glitch than stepped forward, as he than spoke out.
"What happened?"
Dream looks up at the group, as he than spoke out.
"Tell me...do all of you know of my brother, Nightmare?"
Dust nodded his head, as he spoke out.
"I do, he is the Guardian of Negativity, as well as the one that causes misery. Me and my group, well, at least, other members of my group, we had fought against him before, and recently, we fought him again."
Dust than spoke out.
"Well, he is like that, but the thing is, he is not always like this. And unfortunately, I am part of the blame for what has happened to my brother."
This made the group confused, as Dream than spoke out.
"My brother, Nightmare, he was not always like this. He was similar to me, a very kind being, and one of the kindest in the Multiverse. He is always very forgiving and always cared a lot about me, and I did the same...or at least...I tried. But the monsters that we were with, they were selfish, they care more about me for they want to feel happy, and always treated my brother like he is an evil being. And he did, but only because he was pushed too far in eating the Negative apples. And it is also because I was blind to not see how much damage that my brother is getting put up with."
This made everyone surprised, but they also felt a little bit bad for Dream. And while they felt bad for Nightmare, they do not know if they can truly pity, especially since he is lashing out at AUs that had nothing to do with his suffering.
"Well...aside from that...what happened to this Multiverse? Why is it the way it now is?"
Dream looks down for a little bit, as he began to try and recollect what had happened to him in the past, and tries all he can to remember what has lead him to this point, and he needs to remember where this all began. Where it was that had made Dream like this, and how it made the Multiverse so empty, leaving only this empty realm that resembles Outertale's Snowdin. After a little bit of thinking, and doing the best that he can to remember, Dream opened his eyes, and he than began to speak out to the group.
"It has been...I don't know...a year, since it all happened. It was during a time when we are at a war of our own. Against Nightmare and his allies, who wishes to create as much Negativity as be can across the Multiverse, so that they can conquer it. So that they can rule it in however they see fit. They were very powerful, and they were very strong. And at that time, I was...weak. For you see...Nightmare, he ate hundreds of Black Apples, 999 of them, to empower himself, and me...I took the last remaining Golden Apple and ate the whole thing, and basically, I had only one Golden Apple at my disposal. One Golden Apple to help me fight Nightmare, even though even that is not enough to stand an even chance against him, thus I needed help from my allies and from the positive AUs themselves in order to try and face off against Nightmare. But this time was different. Nightmare was able to corrupt and subjugate a large amount of AUs from the Multiverse I lived in, and I...my group were too weak to do anything, and we cannot stop them, due to the fact that we were not strong enough, and Nightmare, he had grown very strong, even more so than ever, due to corrupting a lot of AUs. But than, one of the members of my group found something, from a Multiverse that had been destroyed, due to a machine that we had made in order to travel to different Multiverses, especially the one that is next to the one we were in. And it is inside of the AU that I lived in, where my home died. And inside...inside of this AU...there more Golden Apples, about 998 of them, and they were hidden inside of a house in chests. It is believed that, someone had stolen them, once he has 1,000 Golden Apples, he would sell them for profit, and this is every year, every 333 Golden Apples, though the final Year, it appears to be 332. And it is enough for me to use, enough for me to take.
When I first saw another Golden Apple after what must have been such a very long time, and when we took it back into the Multiverse that we resided in, I...I realized that...I can use it. I can use the Golden Apples to finally grow stronger. I finally thought that I had the power to go against my brother, and I thought that I would be strong enough to stop him. But I also knew that continuing to eat more and more Golden Apples in just a single day would lead me to lose my sanity, just as the Negativity Apples had done to my brother, when he hate to fast and consumed more than he could stand, and because of this, I had to take the Golden Apples once a day, to not only negate the risks of what the Golden Apples would do to me, but to also give out some time for my body to harden as well. So I had Ink help me in this, and I had to make him remember it. And Ink was able to help me, along worn Swap Sans, who was also with me, in case I were to ever be tempted to eat more than I can have, than I could limit myself to. And I have, a few times, even on the first time, but I was always stopped. And the first time I did that, I ate 10 Golden Apples, and I had Ink stop me. And than, after I learned to get a better grip on myself, as I am able to eat one of them at a time, sometimes 2, and sometimes even 6, which is able to make me stronger, but also strain my body, as it has not grown powerful enough as of yet. So I had to wait until my body became strong enough, after the process is complete. It took me a long time, about maybe more than a Year, due to the amount of Golden Apples that I needed to take, and the fact that I need to wait, due to having lost control over myself. But after I finished the last Golden Apple, at 998, I was finally ready to go up against my own brother. And that is when the battle began. Nightmare had assembled the most evil and corrupted beings that he was able to meet, and I, I assembled just as much. The both of us went to war against each other, and we battled each other with all of our might. But in the ensuing battle...we destroyed the Multiverse, and so many in both sides, had died. Even my closest friends, Ink and Swap. And in the ensuing battle, I was able to slay Nightmare, but in the process...I was forced to see what had became of the Multiverse, now destroyed and forever an empty void of what it had once been in the past."
This made everyone feel shocked, as they cannot believe that a simple war had resulted in the destruction of a Multiverse. But than again, it is a War, and the most catastrophic can result in the deaths of so many people. This made everyone feel pity for Dream, as he continued.
"And this space, the remnants of this AU, Outertale, it kept or preserved, so that I can forever remember my failure in what I had just brought upon myself, and the machine that leads to the Multiverse, it had been destroyed, with no way for me to get out. And that also reminds me...how did all of you get here?"
Dust than stepped forward, as he took a deep breath, as he than spoke out to the Guardian of Positivity.
"Well, you told us our story...so I'll tell you mine."
Dust than began to explain what has happened in his Multiverse, how he had gotten involved in the Multiverse, how he had been inside of a war of his own, and even talked about the book he has. But when he got to talk about Shattered!Dream, who had been corrupted by a Negativity Apple, this made Dream stunned, as he looks down and spoke out.
"I...I can't believe it. How...how could my other self do this? How could he have just betrayed the Multiverse he was supposed to protect, and corrupted himself? He isn't even supposed to corrupt the Apple without turning it into a Golden Apple, not unless he is...he must have been filled with guilt and grief strong enough to prevent the apple from becoming Golden, and became susceptible to its corruption."
Dust than looks down at Dream and spoke out to him.
"Well, regardless of what or how this happened, they are doing something bad now. They are trying to do the same thing your Nightmare had done, except worse. And right now, we are in need some desperate need of help to try and stop him. So tell me...will you help us?"
Dream looks up at Dust, and he looks to see that he is filled with immense Determination to keep wha this left is his world safe, which are his friends and family, and Dream, he clenched his fist, as he remembered what he had been fighting for, as Dream stood up, and spoke out.
"Yes...I shall. I will join you in your task to try and defeat Team Void. What my other self had one is unforgivable. I shall help you in anyway that I can. At least I can atone for failing to protect my Multiverse."
Dust nodded his head with a smile, as everyone nodded their heads, and they smiled too, as Glitch spoke out.
"Sweet, we got the Guardian of Positivity on our side. That is what we want to have."
Chara than spoke out.
"But before that, we need to go back to our Multiverse. Dust, do you still have the book?"
Dust nodded, as he took the book out of his pocket, and opens the pages to the Multiverse. Dream looks inside, as he sees the various Multiverses that exist inside of this Book, and is able to recognize a bit of them, due to having seen them through the machine. He than looks at the book, and he spoke out.
"Hmmm...which one is yours?"
Dream than points his finger at the picture, and spoke it.
"Is it this one?"
But unbeknownst to Dream, but to the realization of the others, the picture began to glow, as he spoke out.
"Oh no. Not again!"
Dust shouted, as everyone gathered around, and touched each other's hands, with it ending with Braixen holding Ninetales' paw, and goes to the other ending, with Glitch holding onto Dust's hand, and is holding onto Dream's Shoulder, and Chara grabbing onto both Braixen and Dust in their other hands, and before they knew of it, they got teleported out of the area, out of the Multiverse, which than collapsed the last remains of Outertale, as the group than goes into another Multiverse, but not the right one.
