Error slams into the tree so hard that he feels his spine crack. The breath whooshes out of his nonexistent lungs, and and he struggles to move when he falls to the ground. Even so, he can't stop fighting now. There are others here that he has to protect. Error manages to lunge out of the way just in time to dodge a bone that would've pierced his chest. Ink just won't cut him any slack! The God of Creation isn't spewing out anymore of his self-righteous bullshit anymore. He's past that. Ink was nearly out of paint in his vials when the battle began, and that was hours ago. Everyone is exhausted.

     Nightmare pants as he dodges another arrow. This is not good. Dream, or rather 'Shattered' seems completely out of his mind. Nightmare had chased him from AU to AU until he stopped in Outertale. Error was already here and freaked out when he saw Shattered. All three in one AU quickly grabbed the attention of Ink and many others from all sides. Shattered is completely off his rocker. He giggles insanely as he digs his fingers into his skull. Nightmare doesn't have much pity or love for his brother, but this...... he doesn't know how to handle.

A Gaster Blaster fires and nearly slams into Outer. It only misses when Stretch yanks him out of the way. They both stumble out of the way and take a moment to catch their breaths. Never in a million years would Stretch ever think he would have to fight his brother. Blue graciously accepts Dust's hand as the other pulls him back to his feet. Dust's Gaster Blaster is smoking as it cools down. Blue smiles, but quickly turns his attention back to their opponents.

     Killer and Horror are working as a tag team of sorts, trading off their two opponents. Each of them fight better alone. Reaper and Cross would prefer to fight together, but they keep finding themselves separated by the other two. Reaper is also trying his best not to touch any of them. It really is a horrible way to go, and he's rather just inflict damage with his scythe. Cross grunts as he blocks another flurry of bones from Horror. Ink asked for his help when the creator sensed Dream and Nightmare fighting, but this is absolute carnage! Someone is going to get killed at this point!

Many, many more Sanses are all fighting in this reckless battle. Ink had called for backup when Nightmare called the gang and when Shattered proved not to be peaceful. Nightmare called on even more allies once he was outnumbered. Many of them have been undercover or in hiding for quite some time. Monsters like Red and Lust are angry with the Stars for never doing anything to help them.

Among the fighting, a much smaller outcode scrambles to avoid taking a hit. His dodging isn't the greatest since he's hardly trained at all. Little Blueprint is hardly five years old. His parents have only taught him a few basic attacks since they thought he wouldn't have to fight for many more years. He cries out when a stray bone flies past and pins the end of his scarf to the ground. No one has noticed him in all the carnage. Blueprint tries his best to yank it out, but it's buried too deep. He has to get to Mommy and Daddy! His star-shaped pupils, one green and one blue, dart all over across the battlefield.

"Mommy!" Blueprint screams, crying when he finally spots them.

Blue's blood runs cold when he recognizes that frightened voice in all the chaos. Dust shoves Stretch off of him, eyes widening in horror when he sees Blueprint. Their little baby is yanking at his scarf, unwilling to take it off. Blueprint looks up at them in panic. Blue and Dust are already running, but they're not fast enough. A stray Gaster Blaster fires from halfway across the battlefield when its intended target teleports out of the way.

Blueprint looks away from his parents when he hears the wicked beam of light coming towards him. His breath catches in his little chest. No one is close enough to stop it. A Gaster Blaster will tear into his HP and fatally wound him it not kill him instantly. Blueprint squints his eyes closed and whimpers in fear. He can feel the intense heat on his bones. The pain never comes. The beam slams into a solid, double wall of bones that had sprung up in a half-circle around Blueprint.

The bones have a foreign magical presence that's unrecognizable. A deep rumble fills the air. Every single Monster, including Ink and Error, stops fighting when they feel the intense magical pressure. The air is heavy with it. A crack opens up in the sky. It shimmers like a heat haze. Some massive shape moves behind it. What is this? Is something wrong with the AU? Error feels a shiver go up his spine. He can only think of one being with this kind of power. The crack abruptly snaps closed. A single skeleton Monster plummets from the sky, scarf streaming behind him. He lands solidly in a crouch only a few feet from Blueprint. The newcomer stands up and brushes himself off, smiling widely when he spots Blueprint.

"You okay little guy!? You gave everyone quite the scare!". He walks over and yanks the bone out of Blueprint's scarf before picking him up. The older holds him against his chest with one arm while dismissing his bone wall with the other. "You're awfully brave to be running in here, but how about you get an adult for help next time? I don't know what I'd do if you got hurt." He uses a finger to wipe away Blueprint's tears making him giggle. "Is someone ticklish?" The stranger pulls Blueprint up higher and nuzzles his neck, making Blueprint shriek with laughter. Blueprint has never met him before, but in his childish way, he knows that there's no danger. The entire battlefield is watching the exchange is confusion.

"Blueprint!" Blue yells, finally reaching the two. Dust is right on his tail, worried and staring down the stranger.

"Mommy! Daddy!" Blueprint cries happily. He leans forwards out of the stranger's arms, and he happily hands off Blueprint to Blue.

"Who are you?" Dust grunts distrustfully. He lays a hand on Blue's shoulder and looks Blueprint over. Not a single scratch. Dust then looks back over to where the wall of bones had been. "But..... thank you. For protecting him."

"Of course! I couldn't stand by and watch this all continue! And you can call me Alloy," the stranger smiles, offering his hand to shake.

Blue carefully scans the other skeleton as he takes their hand. Alloy wears fingerless gloves that expose his yellow and red fingers. His arms and legs are black, but his skull and chest are white. His scarf is a strange combination of baige and midnight blue. Alloy also wears combat boots, shorts, and a maroon jacket with the hood down. What really catches Blue's attention are the black tear marks under Alloy's eyes. That and the color pattern on his hands, really reminds Blue of Error. The one stary eye light is also an oddity. Alloy carries two weapons: a giant paint brush that looks suspiciously close to Ink's, and a large sewing needle. Blue and Dust both real back when Alloy gets bashed to the ground.

     "It's you," Ink says simply without any emotion, "You were poking around in my Doodlesphere a few days ago."

     "Ouch." Alloy rubs his head and looks up at Ink from the ground. Ink used his paintbrush to smack Alloy flat onto his back. "Yeah, that was me, though I seem to recall you being a bit more..... full."

     Ink doesn't respond, but grips his brush harder and tries to slam it back down on Alloy. He rolls out of the way and jumps to his feet. The fight between them seems to have triggered it for everyone else. Horror pounces onto Cross as Shattered charges at Nightmare. The chaos starts right back up from there. Alloy's heart drops when he sees it all. This is way worse than what he's used to. Fate has certainly done quite a bit of damage........

     "Wait! Stop! No one has to fight anymore, Fate is-" Alloy tries to scream over the battle, but he's interrupted when Ink tries to crack his skull open. Alloy prefers to dodge and doesn't attack anyone. No matter what he says, no one listens or gives him a chance to speak. Alloy can see Dust facing off against Stretch and Outer with Blue behind him, the later not quite willing leave, but unable to fight properly with Blueprint. This has to stop. Error screams in the distance after taking a Blaster head on. Shattered laughs as he gets and arrow clean through Nightmare's leg.

     It seems like everyone needs some time to cool off. Alloy shoves Ink away before bracing his feet. He yanks string free from his eye and sends them flying. Every single Monster in that battle is yanked up by their souls with that ominous power wrapping around them. Alloy is careful not to grab anyone in a way that would pull on injuries. He doesn't even touch Blueprint, but does pick up Blue.

     "Listen up! All of you are getting nowhere with this battle!" Alloy yells out, an annoyed expression on his face. "I don't know entirely what's going on here, but you all need some time to cool off. I'm sending you all back to your own AUs for a bit of........ reflection."

     The dangling Monsters look at each other in confusion. What is this guy saying? They've never seen him before, but he's strung them up with a power freakishly similar to Error's strings. Even the God of Destruction himself is struggling and cussing in his bonds. None of them actually believe that Alloy can send them all home. Outer soon knows different when he's suddenly the last one there. His jaw drops. Alloy gently lowers Outer to the ground.

     "Now," Alloy starts, sitting down next to Outer, "Can you tell me what this fight was about?"
