XGaster was determined to get what he wanted. Obtaining the 'Godling' was an excellent addition to his plans

———-

X-Bitty Multiverse

XGaster never saw himself as a bad monster, just one that wanted the best for his universe. That is when his obsession began with creating the perfect ending for his world. He loved both his human children and at the beginning was uncomfortable asking them for help with his work.

The trust and conviction they showed him made him falter in his resolve, allowing them to help with his plans. Things grew more intense as he observed the power his children possessed with their DETERMINATION SOULS and was overjoyed at the new things he could try with this.

His plans evolved as he learned the intricacies of his power he called OVERWRITE. It was a much better version then RESETS, as there was no chance of alternate timelines being created this way. Much less messy in the long run in his opinion.

He grew more alarmed as he was unable to create the perfect ending for his world and had started to lose hope, but that was when he first met the Creator.

It had been a large shock when he had met Ink, who had shown him the wonders of the many AU's they had created. It made his SOUL beat in excitement and a new resolve entered his mind. It drove him to even greater heights, in order to give everyone the perfect ending they deserved.

He kept using his power over and over again but still could not create the ideal world. That is when he realised he was constraining himself too much and decided to try even more things. He was thrilled at the new worlds he could now create but it still wasn't enough for him.

It was then his children started getting in the way of his ideals and when the first act of betrayal occured, that things fully changed. He started pushing his children away, who became more of a hindrance than a help and was eventually forced to use his powers directly on them.

Things went so much smoother after that, with far less rebellion but he still wasn't satisfied.

He lost count on the number of OVERWRITES he had performed but he did take notice of a guard who was getting too disobedient for his liking.

It was a good thing his 'great friend' Ink was happy to help in any way he could, so he decided to give them half his SOUL, in case things went wrong. It was easy to convince Ink of his end goal for a perfect multiverse but he also had some back ups, to make sure Ink cooperated.

It was a good thing he did, as that imbecile Cross destroyed their AU, in a foolish attempt to stop his plans. He was amused at how they killed all in their path and laughed when he saw that their plan was doomed to fail. His last sight was of Cross anguished cry at knowing his plan had failed, making him smile in victory.

XGaster had many fail safes in place, as there was always someone who thought they knew better than him.

Time passed in the darkness and when he awoke he was pleased to see his pawn Ink there. It had been too easy to get their paints early on in their 'friendship' and swap them out for his own creation. They had trusted him too much and that had led to their downfall in the end.

"Report"

He listened in interest at the state of the multiverse but grew enraged at how Ink had lost Cross. He needed to get back his full power to continue his work and sadly Cross would be needed for that. Such a rebellious creation they were. He should have dealt with them when he had the chance.

He did perk up when he was told about an anomaly in the multiverse who was referred to as a 'Godling'. He ordered Ink to bring them to him and started preparing things for Cross arrival.

Months passed and he was content at how things were going and smirked at Ink having caught the Godling.

A portal opened in his domain and he turned around, watching as Ink carried a babybones towards him. They were much smaller than he imagined but the magic he felt from the tiny body was fascinating.

"I brought them. The main player should come searching for them"

Ink was sounding a bit dull but he guessed they must have run out of paint finally. It was the easiest punishment he could give to them, at their rather slow results.

"Put him down and you can have it back, Ink"

As soon as Ink did as commanded he threw the sash of paints down and stared at the new oddity. He tilted his head when he spotted movement near their scarf and crouched closer to them.

"Oh? I wasn't expecting so many guests. What shall I do with all of you?"

He spotted three Bitties and wondered when Ink had gotten them. They seemed rather attached to the anomaly, especially with all the glaring they were doing. He would keep them alive for now, as they would be excellent distractions when he left the so-called 'Godling' alone.

He easily lifted up the still asleep babybones, moving towards his temporary 'home'. Placing them on the table he started to examine them and was intrigued at their feathers. A slight buzz came from the white parts and he made a note to do a few more tests later on. He paused when they started shifting and quickly grabbed a vial, making sure to feed it to them.

It was very curious how they reacted to the paints and it filled him with excitement, at all the new things that were still to learn in this wide multiverse. He had to repeat this process over multiple days but stopped giving them paint, when he was satisfied with his initial scan.

XGaster had been without a body so for so long it was novel being able to indulge his mind again.

He saw the babybones about to awaken and leaned back, just as their sockets opened. Their eyelight looked a bit fuzzy but nothing serious enough that he would need to fix.

"Why hello there little 'Godling'. You will be in my care for a long time, so i hope we learn to get along"

A quite chirp and a slight ruffling of their wings was his answer but he was content with it. Lifting them up he walked to the couch, keeping a tight hold on them. He hardly needed to have bothered, as he could feel how dazed and weak they still were. He always approved when others knew their place, unlike Cross .

He snarled at the thought of that monster but calmed down quickly, as he knew they wouldn't be an issue soon. Ink had informed me of spotting Cross running around the multiverse searching for the tiny anomaly.

It would be easy to lead them straight to him and get his whole power back. The other was such a knight in shining armour, they wouldn't be able to resist the chance to save the poor little damsel in his clutches.

Weeks passed and the show was finally about to begin. He placed the babybones, he learned was named Karma, onto his lap to keep them close. The Bitties had insisted on coming along and he allowed it, as it seemed to calm his new prize.

Ink had done his role beautifully and he watched as a multitude of monsters swarmed this AU, fighting for pointless reasons.

It was amusing but he had only his eyes on Cross, who looked much more different then he remembered. Was the pitiful guard trying to change?

A coo from his lap made him look at Karma, who had a star in their eyelight. They were much more docile while on paints and not as irritating, as his children used to be. Perhaps he would keep them when he finally created his perfect multiverse.

Things were going just as he planned, which is why he was shocked when blue strings came down and ripped the Godling from his grasps. He snapped his skull towards where he last saw Error and could easily spot them, still fighting Ink. Who could be interfering with his game?

Now Nova might not consider himself the most sane monster but he did have some restraint. That flew right out the window when he spotted XGaster, getting too close to his Godling. He had not been away for that long but it seemed his puppet had failed in the simple task he had set them.

Easily grabbing the babybones he threw them towards Cross and took over the others body. He had been too generous to them it seems, allowing them the illusion of self control, so now it was his turn to fix things. He was amused at the confusion on those around his puppet, at the sudden change of personality of Cross.

"Cross! Give back the babybones! You can't just steal them"

Ugh, Dream types could be so irritating to deal with. Especially the ignorant ones, that acted more like lap dogs then actual thinking beings.

" Keep your stupid morals away from me, Dream "

He chucked at watching Dream recoil at the glitchy voice, coming from Cross. It was nice having a puppet that could withstand his power flowing through it, unlike his other one. He forced his puppet to escape this AU at any costs, while he made sure to dust any monsters in its path.

He had kept XGaster alive as he never expected them to continue their stupid plan. That was a mistake he would make sure to rectify later and he was sure Oneiro would love to help him.

As soon as they exited the AU he grabbed Karma and kicked Cross back into that AU. He was not feeling generous at the moment but would try and calm down before he just dusted them all. They might still have their uses.

"Hey! Be careful. You almost squished us!"

Nova felt his magic spike but stopped when he realised it was just three Bitties, holding onto Karma. He grimaced when he saw who they resembled and felt his hand creep towards the one looking like Ink. They were much more fragile than normal monsters, so it wouldn't take much to deal with it.

"STOP! WE ONLY WANT TO HELP KARMA. WE AREN'T A THREAT"

That did still him in his actions but more importantly, he remembered how fascinated by Bitties Karma was.

" Do you like them, Godling? "

He was getting worried at how lethargic Karma was but was pleased when they nodded and leaned into him.

"They said they wanted to be my friend!"

Nova would keep them alive for now but would have to edit their Code soon. He didn't want them to combust at the amount of power that Karma could release, as he knew that would only make the Godling upset.

Oneiro and him had decided that they needed to work on getting Karma used to others' touch, as they were worried about the possibility of them becoming like some of his variants. The babybones magical donors hadn't helped the possibility of this happening, especially the 'Genos' Code in their body.

Damn glitches making more issues for him.

SwapDream Multiverse ??

Nova was starting to panic and could feel his unwanted glitches starting to act up. It had been three weeks since leaving that multiverse but Karma was only getting worse. They had been fine on the trip, to get to one of Oneiros 'obtained' homes but as soon as they had arrived they had gone onto the bed and hardly moved.

They refused to be touched and he didn't like the look of the state their wings were getting. Even Oneiro was alarmed and informed him of the growing negativity inside of them. They had both tried to feed them some of their magic but each time they tried Karmas magic would lash out at them.

Nova tried to see if his puppet Cross knew anything but so far was useless in their knowledge. Did he miss something? Maybe he should just collapse the whole multiverse just in case.

The Gaster types were worse than cockroaches sometimes and he didn't want to find any following them. He was pleased with his plan but frowned when he looked at the bed. Karma was still laying on a pile of pillows, in a constant daze and even the new Bitties looked worried.

While jealous, he was pleased someone was allowed near Karma but they were not helpful in keeping Karma physically healthy. They were too weak magically and the bond with Karma was too new, to make much a difference.

As he stood up a glint caught his attention and his gaze narrowed on the pin on Karmas scarf. There was something odd about it, as at times he swore it was judging him....He must be losing his mind from all the stress. Shaking that thought off he looked at the Bities, gaining their attention.

" I'll be right back. You know what to do "

He moved as soon as the BItties nodded, heading towards Oneiro. Maybe the other had come up with some new ideas, since they went out? They had swapped who would watch Karma and he hoped something useful would come up soon.

As he closed the door he missed the flash of light in the bedroom and the alarmed cries of the Bitties, as Karma disappeared.
