Gradient sighed, as he is now sitting inside of the house, looking at Error, who now has Lala, Run, and Kirisaki all over him. Needless to say, Error is not having the time of his life, due to the fact that he has attracted 3 alien entities, 2 of which are half-breeds, and one simply has a split personality in the form of another gender. Gradient sighed, as he then spoke out.

"Well...it seems that father is having fun with what he has, huh?"

Clearly, Error, due to following 404's lecture, Joe has gained Kirisaki as another lover, who is a half-Human and half-Flamian hybrid, similar to how Lala is Half-Devilukean and Half-Charmian and Error being Half-God and Half-Unnameable. Makes Gradient wonder how powerful the half-breed spawns that Error will mark be. But of course, what Error had to go through tends to lead to some moments that made him lose his cool, and he has lost his cool a bunch of times, despite how better he has at controlling his emotions then before. And in fact, there have been some occasions where he had gotten in a bad mood that has lasted for a very long time. And this is especially at the time when he is forced to fuse with Error404, and an old enemy of his, named Fatal_Error, who desperately wants Error to be killed by Fatal's hand, in order to make an exit rely powerful fusion, that he stayed in for gods know how long, until he is able to separate from the fusion.

Systematic is a fusion of Errorc Fatal_Error, and Error404, and needless to say, it is, in Righteous' opinion, one of the worst moments of his life, due to the fact that he had to fuse with one of his worst enemies in his life. Error404 decided to get Fatal to join in for a temporary amount of time, due to a usefulness that he has within bringing back Alphatale, as well as the fact that it will make them all stronger. This is one of the worst things that has ever happened to Error, as he is stuck with someone that he tried to destroy, and later became the thing that tried to kill Fatal. Gradient, although he wants to laugh, forced himself to find this sort of thing as not funny at all. Like, why laugh at something as insane as that fusion, especially one that made Error extremely pissed. And this fusion is before Error had gained the Unnameable's DNA within him, and gained the eyes on his right arm. So it must have been a very long time since he had been able to do a fusion such as Systematic itself.

Ikaros flapped her wings a bit, as she observed the scene before her along with Gradient. Graident intertwined both of his hands, as he looks at what Error is now in, as Celine crawled on top of Gradient's lap. Gradient, looking down, strokes and rubs the top of Celine's head, which made Celine happy, due to the fact that Gradient, her older 'brother,' is the one that is making her feel a little happier. Gradient smiled, before he made a glitched screen, and spoke out.

"Hey, Blueprint, are you doing good?"

Blueprint then spoke out to him.

"You mean, good, as in running from some insane Angeloids behind us, and having to use our own Angeloids to make them go away from us?! No, it is not good, Gradient!! I need to get away, along with Palette and our Angeloids!!"

Gradient nodded, as he then turned to Ikaros, before he then spoke out to her.

"Hey, Ikaros. Mind using the Transport Card to bring them back with a door?"

Ikaros nodded, as she took out a Transport Card out of nowhere, and activated it, in order to bring Blueprint and Palette back, along with their Angeloids, who are with them.

Ikaros used the Transport Card, as she then summoned a door out of complete nowhere, and Gradient opened the door, with Blueprint, Palette, Nynph, Astraea, and Oregano went through, and Gradient closed the door, before using his powers to make a glitchy portal, and put it back in Synapse, so that it can be back to its respective place. Gradient looks down to look at Nymph, Blueprint, and the others, and he then spoke out.

"Are you all doing okay now?"

Blueprint nodded his head, as Nymph picked him up and hugged him, as Nymph spoke out.

"Well, on the bright side, we are able to get a bit more of the Accessories they will hopefully be helpful for us."

Palette nodded, as he spoke out.

"Yeah, I agree. But next time, let's go and be more prepared when we go there, because we nearly got out hides ripped from us. Last thing we need is to have ourselves be killed."

Astraea, who was a bit dizzy and has her nose bleeding, then began to stand up from what has happened, as Oregano began to stand up. Gradient then stood up and spoke out.

"Welp, I'm gonna go and visit Outertale. I want to see the beauty that it has. After all, it's always been my favorite AU for as long as I can remember."

Gradient looks at Ikaros, and spoke out to her.

"Do you want to come along with me, Ikaros?"

Ikaros nodded, as she stood up as well, going at the full height of 5'3, with Gradient shorter then her, at the height of 4'6.

"I will follow you wherever you go, master."

Gradient nodded with a smile, as he then spoke out to her.

"Then why are we wasting time? Let's go!"

Gradient then opened the door, and went outside, as Ikaros also went through, and Gradient, using his blue magic, closed the door, and he goes outside, with Ikaros following him to where Gradient's heading.

As they are going outside, Gradient smiled, as he spoke out.

"It's been about some time  since we had not went to Outertale. I cannot wait to visit it yet again."

But as Gradient said that, unbeknownst to him, he and Ikaros are being watched by someone atop a building. And it sinsoemken that has taken an interest in Error, wanting to use him as a slave for her to take control. It is none other then Nemesis, the Dark Matter being, and she is now observing Graident, who is walking away with Ikaros alongside him.

Nemesis smiled, as she then spoke out.

"Well, isn't he intriguing to look at. If it remember correctly, he is called Gradient. He is apparently created by Error himself, along with another person. He almost looks like Error. I can see why I often see Gradient call Error as his father."

Nemesis looks down and smiled a little bit, as she then spoke out.

"Perhaps if I can hitch a ride onto Gradient? Then perhaps I will be able to know how I am able to enslave Error, by using what he cherishes the most"

Nemesis narrows her eyes, however, as another thoughts enters into her mind, before she then spoke out one thing that my defy this.

"And yet, I do not doubt that this so-called Gradient will be distrustful towards me. He will think that is k someone that is trying to kill his father, when it is not that. So how do I try and get him to cooperate with me..."

Nemesis puts a hand onto her chin, and began to though of it for a little bit, before she then snapped her fingers, and she then spoke out...thinking of a plan herself.

"I know...I need to get onto his good side first. From what it seems like, he sounds like that he desires to go to space. Well...perhaps if I can combine him to let me join him in what he is doing, then I shall be able to know what I need to know about Error himself. Well...it is time to see if this will work for me."

Nemesis then began to follow Gradient, as her form dematerialized at first, turning into a mist made of Dark Matter, before she then flies down to the ground, and she then began to make her figure change into form again.

Nemesis appeared, as dark matter regather around her, and she looks to see Gradient and Ikaros walking. Nemesis then coughed her mouth a little bit, before she then changed her voice into a more innocent tone, in order to make it easier to gain Gradient's trust.

"Hello~."

This made Gradient stop, as he then turns around, in order too see who it is that has decided to speak to him. And needless to say, it is a very strange thing, as he has never seen anyone else, besides Ikaros, speak to him like this.

Gradient looked confused, as he gawked her head to look at Nemesis before his eyes, as he then spoke out, and it seems to be in a tone that is very shy.

"Ohh...umm...hello...who are you?"

Nemesis then made a fake innocent smile of sorts, as she then began to speak out to the oldest son of Error.

"Call me Nemesis. And your name?"

Gradient looked at himself, before he then spoke out to Nemesis.

"I'm...Gradient."

Nemesis smiled, as she nodded her head, before she spoke.

"You seem like a very interesting person to be with~. Are you interested in space?"

This made Graident surprised, too see that there is someone that is also interested in spade just like he is. He does not know what to say, but he then looks at Nemesis and nods his head, and he then spoke out.

"Umm...yeah, I am. I'm even going to someplace where I can see it to the fullest extent, without all of the lights pollutions the sky. I don't want to simply the stars, I want too see the full extent of its beauty."

Nemesis smiled wider, as she thought to herself.

'Perfect, he is falling for it. Now to simply make him take a bait.'

Nemesis tilt her head to make herself act like an innocent person.

"Well...I want to see it myself as well. So...can I come along and see it? I too am tired of not seeing the full beauty of space itself, and...since you know...I want to see it myself."

Gradient looked a little bit conflicted, as he is unsure if he should do this, before he then thought of it and he nodded his head at Nemesis, before he then spoke out to the stranger.

"Ummm...okay. I guess it wouldn't hurt to have one more company that likes the same thing that I like as well."

Nemesis smiled, as she finally got him.

"Good. And also...the way I'm gonna see it is weird."

Nemesis then goes to Gradient, and Gradient then spoke out.

"How are you gonna see it?"

Nemesis then spoke out.

"I have the power to enter the bodies of others and possess people, or just simply enter their bodies and see through their eyes. So..."

Nemesis then turned into a mist of dark matter and enters Gradient, this made him hug himself and spoke out.

"Okay, that feels weird!"

Gradient then hears the voice of Nemesis speak out to him.

"Don't worry, this is a normal thing for most of my...allies."

Nemesi, not wanting to give away her position and what she is really planning, says to Gradient. Gradient nodded his head, as he then moves to look at the look of the city before his eyes, before he then swiped his stylus, and made a glitchy portal before he spoke out.

"Well, Ikaros...let's go."

Ikaros nodded, as Gradient and Ikaros then walked inside of the portal, as the glitchy portal closed, as Ikaros, Gradient, and Nemesis are now inside of Outertale, the snowy ground that is floating made it for an excellent bridge for them all to go on, especially for Nemesis, who observes what Gradient is inside of right now. They look up at the sky, and Gradient felt happy to see this place, as Nemesis spoke out.

"So...Gradient. Do you mind telling of how you manage to do that? I have never seen anyone that can do this?"

Gradient then looks at himself, with Nemesis inside of his body, and was about to speak out...but Ikaros then spoke out.

"Master...look down. There's something grabbing you."

This made Gradient confused, until he looked down...and see a hand with white gloves, and thin arms. This made Gradient's eyes alerted...and he realized what is going to happen next, and who the hands seems to be belonging to.

"Oh god...no...please don't tell me that this is-"

Then...a voice spoke out...and in a quote that Gradient knows all too well.

"Welcome back...remember this?"

Nemesis also looked unease, as Gradient is pulled in.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!"

Ikaros grabbed him to try and stop him from being pulled in. But Ikaros was not strong enough, and she too got pulled in. They are going inside of some unknown realm, as they can feel that the person that is doing this is now going to make them go what is likely some sort of torment. And it is one of the most horrifying entities to ever exist in the entirety of Gradient's life. A being that is so immeasurably evil and slightly stronger then Nightmare, that the only Nightmare can match how evil this entity is, despite the fact that he is weaker then it.

Gradient felt himself getting dragged down, with Ikaros holding onto him, and refusing to let go. But so do the hands that are grabbing at Gradient's leg, as all 3 are getting pulled in.

Then, the pulling finally stopped, as Gradient and Ikaros land and hit the ground. But Gradient was rather disorientated, due to the impact of the ground, as Ikaros spoke out.

"Master...are you okay?"

Gradient spoke out.

"No...I...I can't see well for some reason!"

Gradient, although he has his glasses, can now only see blurry shapes, as Nemesis spoke out.

"Here, let me handle this."

Then, Nemesis, inside of the mind of Gradient, seized control over his body.

Nemesis, without any lie, is a little bit nervous, as she moved Gradient's hand and put it onto her hip, and she is able to see where they are at. Nemesis looks around, and sees that they are in some type of palace, as she then spoke out.

It shows of pillars, the top parts behind held by 2 entities for each pillar. One of them resembling a humanoid fox with 2 tails, and the other resembling a echidna with 2 spikes on each of his fists. They seem to have an expression of agony and despair, and the words, I AM GOD, are present, as Gradient then looks at them and spoke out.

"Oh god...this is..."

Gradient, now being able to see clearly, realized what place that they are inc as he looks in pure horror. Gradient seized control over his body again, and he is frightened. This made Ikaros worried, although she does not know it on her face, as Ikaros spoke out to him.

"Master, what is wrong?"

Gradient then spoke out.

"This place...we're in serious danger. We need get out of here, fast!!"

Nemesis then spoke out.

"Why do we need to leave?"

Gradient then spoke out.

"Because of the person that owns this place. Trust me, you do not want to, by any chance, meet him in person, otherwise, we'll be more then just simply dead!"

Gradient then swiped at the air in order to make a portal back. But then, the pierce fizzled out, as Graident looked scared, as a voice then spoke out.

"I do not think so, boy. You are not getting away from me this easily."

No, Gradient and Ikaros were teleported, with Gradient now having a look of fear on his face. He looks up, along with Ikaros, and Nemesis, looking at the eyes of Gradient, also looked at what it is that Gradient is looking at. And needless to say, what she is seeing is something that is actually making her feel scared for reasons that not even she understands. There is what seems to be a type of throne above then, that is not what is making Gradient feel afraid. What is truly scary here...s the entity that is sitting on top of the throne itself.

On the throne is an entity that Nemesis and Ikaros has never seen before, but Gradient has. The entity themselves a hedgehog, but he appears to be rotting, with tears coming out of the eyes of the entity, the smile...god...Nemesis thought that her own smile is creepy, but this entire is far more scarier then her own smile. It is the smile of a demon that is filled with a sadism and cruelty so immense that it is bottomless compared to her own sadism. Her just simply looks cute in its eyes. Gradient shook his hand, as he then spoke out.

"I'm stars, not you."

The entity smiled, as he spoke out.

"Hello, Gradient. It has been a long time since we had seen each other, my old friend. And this time...Error is not here for you. Such a shame that he will not play this game."

Ikaros looks at Gradient, and spoke out to him.

"Master, who is this?"

Graident looks at the entity that is before them, and spoke out to Ikaros.

"That is...Lord X. He is one of the most evil entities that I have ever met. Only Nigntmare can match that. Lord X, why have you deciddd to come and make me come to your realm?!"

Lord X gawked his head, his smile is almost looking wider a little bit, as Lord X then spoke out.

"It has been a very boring life for me, for I had only human victims for me. So I figure that I settle with you."

Gradient looked scared at what Lord X is planning for him. Although Gradient had become immensely strong, due to the fact that he has destroyed AUs, and allowed him to gain nigh-absolute LV like his father, and currently, he has at a level similar to his father before becoming a Polothorn, he doubts that he can handle against Lord X, as he is a being that lacks code, and the fact that he cannot be killed at all. His vessel decays, but he will not die the same way as humans. It is only the body that can die. He steps back...as Lord X spoke out.

"But before I can play..."

He then raised his left hand, and spreads the middle and index fingers out, as Nemesis is suddenly split for Gradient himself, against her power and will. This made Nemesis shocked, as she looks at Lord X, who laughs a little bit.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

This made Nemesis shiver, due to the fact that Lord X sounded so genuinely horrifying. But Nemesis, although worried, does not feel fear, even when's he realizes that this was not a part of her plan to get to Error.

"How...how did you..."

Lord X smiled, as he spoke out.

"Separate you from Gradient's body? It is simple...Master Nemesis, if that is who you are called. Because I am like you, I am a being made of Dark Matter."

This made Gradient stunned, shocked that Nemesis is made of the same thing that Lord X is made of, as Nemesis spoke out.

"What?"

Lord X chuckled, as he then spoke out.

"I too was born from the essence of Dark Matter. I was dormant, sleeping...until a powerful clash of energies came. And when that happened, it made me, an entity that lacks a name, but possess an identity that he gave to himself. However, I sense that your power is far weaker compared to mine, perhaps because you are made far too differently compared to me. Oh well...at least entertain me, if you can, Master Nemesis."

Lord X laughed, as he then raised his fingers, and snapped them, with the scenery now changed.

Gradient and Ikaros are now in a very scary area of their own, as it has plants that are made of body parts, such as hands, mouths, and what seems to be bushes that is lined with teeth at the top. Gradient and Ikaros looked around, as they then began to wander inside of the place they're in. Gradient shook, as he then tries to use his powers again, but he is unable to do it, to get out of this area. Lord X is using his own power to keep him trapped. Of course, this is because Gradient is only near Error's original level and not at his level. If he was as strong as Error's normal self, then that means he can escape. After all, Error had encountered him before, and he was able to escape without issue, even when he is fighting against the Dark Matter being.

Nemesis is also not here with them, meaning that she is in a different area that Lord X has made. Clearly, Lord X is going to try and see just how powerful she is in his eyes, so that he can take advantage of what she can do, or too simply do something else with her, and either options are clearly not good. After all, Nemesis, like Lord X, is a dark matter being, so Lord X likely now has some great interest in Nemesis, and wants to use her for whatever plan that he is thinking inside his mind.

Gradient looks around, and spoke out.

"Great. Of course he would send us to this place. Now we're just gonna be wandering around until we run into Lord X, or Lord X runs into us."

He walks, along with Ikaros, who flaps her wings, but feels nervous in the inside, due to what they are now in. And Ikaros then spoke out.

"Master, tell me. How do you know so much about Lord X? Have you met him before?"

Gradient sighed and spoke out.

"Once, I did, and tried to make me play a death game of his. Lord X, he is one of the most dangerous and most evil people that I've ever seen in my whole entire life. He is a being that likes to take the souls of his victims and uses them for his own entertainment. He is so immeasurably evil and horrifying for me to even try and encounter. Because of this, I try my best to not make myself seen. And 404, he is someone that always makes sure that Lord X doesn't try and kill me, and that is if I am able to be killed at all. And I don't think father knows that I have disappeared into his realm, so he likely doesn't know what is happening to me now.

Ikaros now felt worried for her master, as Gradient seems to have almost been killed by Lord X before, and this time, he is likely going to try and do so again, but not alone. If Ikaros ever sees Lord X, she will make sure that he pays for this act.

As Gradient and Ikaros kept on looking around, Gradient looked up, and turned around, as he then fired bones from the direction that is behind them, and when that happened, hands caught them and broke the bones, and Lord X is shown, now in a form that is much more different then before.

Lord X appeared, now in a somewhat taller form. His Classic Form has been somewhat bigger then most people, but this is a bit more then expected, now taller then even ever, possibly being just as tall as Error404. Lord X chuckled a little bit at Gradient and Ikaros, as he then spoke out to them.

"Hopefully you can run just as much as you can fight against me, friends. But know that you cannot kill me. Because here...I...AM...GOD."

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Lord X then launched a fist at Gradient, using a skeletal hand from within his mouth, as Gradient blocked using his Gradient Blaster. Gradient skidded back a little bit, as he then used his Blue Magic to slam Lord X down to the ground, and fired his Gradient Blasters at Lord X to try and incapacitate the evil entity. Because he knows very well that, no matter what he does, he cannot destroy nor kill him, for Lord X is immortal.

The Gradient Blaster fired, as Lord X got hit with it. But then, arms erupted out from the ground and held him in place, as Lord X flies and goes to him fast. But Gradient teleported out of the way, along with Ikaros, as Lord X spoke out.

"Such a persistent thing you are. You just do not know when to give up. I like that. It makes everything all the more amusing then before."

Gradient snarled, as he launched bones at Lord X, who simply opened his black hole mouth and erased them from existence. Gradient snarled, as he launched red string war Lord X, only for Lord X to use his one Red Strings, and intercepted the attack. But Gradient then made an ink slash, and when Lord X is splashed in it, Lord X was then tied by paint. But then, Lord X melted into Dark Matter goo, and phased into the ground, as he then appears behind Gradient, and grabs him by the shoulder. But Gradient then made red strings ensnare Lord X and rose him up, as a bit of his jacket shoulder decayed and deteriorated, due to Lord X's touch. Gradient snarled, as he narrowed his eyes. Obviously, Lord X is gonna be one hell of a person to go and fight off against.

Ikaros saw the decay and realized what has happened, and realized that she needs to help her master, other wise, he will be killed by the decay that Lord X has within his own touch. Ikaros then entreated the fight. As soon as Lord X charged back down to Gradient, Ikaros used her wings to pushed her way, as she enters her Uranus Mode, in order to gain as much of a boost in power as she can in order to go against Lord X. Lord X flies into the air, as he looks at Ikaros, and spoke out with interest.

"So...you must be a servant to Gradient, huh? Well, please make this more interesting for me, if you are able to do it."

Ikaros narrowed her eyes, as she charged at Lord X. But Lord X teleported out of the way, as he then punched Ikaros, only for Ikaros to make her Aegis sphere appear and defend her from the attack. As soon as that happened, Aegis disappeared, and Ikaros went to Lord X, and landed a couple of bones into him, as Lord X stumbled backwards. And when Ikaros tried to punch Lord X, the skeleton mouth hand inside caught her fist. But Ikaros changed this by spinning around, in order to use her wings to hit Lord X.

Ikaros then slammed her wings into Lord X, sending him far away from the hit, as she then fired Artemis missiles at him, which hit and exploded onto him continuously. 

More Artemis rockets were fired, before Ikaros then fired her Apollo Bow, and it exploded onto Lord X with such gigantic force. The explosion is very large and powerful for Ikaros, as it blew up a large part of the area that he is in, and Gradient flies into the air in order to escape the explosion coming to him. Gradient looks, and Ikaros spoke out.

"Is he gone, master?"

Gradient shook his head no, as he then spoke out.

"No, he's not. Not even an attack as powerful as this can kill gun. Nothing can kill him. And 404, despite his power, and being stronger then Lord X himself...cannot get rid of him either."

This made Ikaros narrowed her eyes, as she looks to see that Lord X is erupting out from the ground, and he cracked his neck a little bit, before he then spoke out.

"Interesting. I never had seen this much power, despite how weak it is. Show me more."

Ikaros narrowed her eyes, as she then decides to summon the Hephaestus ship in order to deal with him. The wings made a distortion in reality, as the Hephaestus ship appeared, and Gradient, he took the time he needs in order to summon more Gradient Blasters, and attack him.

Ikaros got extremely mad, as she then fired rockets at Lord X, and fired the power of the Hephaestus cannons at Lord X, just as Gradient fired his Gradient Blasters at Lord X. Lord X smiled at this, as he then charged at the duo, all so that he can take them down, and take their souls. This will be a perfect day for Lord X.

Elsewhere...

Inside of a realm that appears to resemble a graveyard of some sort, Nemesis appears to be present, and sees the countless amount of gravestone and dead people present, as Nemesis sees herself in front of a familiar Dark Matter Being.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Both Lord X and Nemesis smiled at each other, as they looked at one another. 2 Dark Matter beings in the same place, now ready to fight against one another. Although Lord X is fighting against Gradient and Ikaros already...this is because, in his world, the one that he has made, he is everywhere. And thus, he can make another one in order to interact with more people at once. And no, here he is, standing in front of Nemesis, the other Dark Matter being that is before his eyes. Nemesis smiled, as she looks at Lord X in the X-shaped pupils, as she then spoke out to him with such unusual confidence.

"So...this is very intriguing, 2 Dark Matter beings, made into very different ways, now facing against each other, huh?"

Master Nemesis said to Lord X, as Lord X chuckled a little bit at what Nemesis said, before he then spoke out.

"Of course...it is very intriguing for all of us now isn't it. So...why waste our time? Let us get to the point."

Master Nemesis smiled and nodded her head, as she got ready to a fight against Lord X. Master Nemesis and Lord X looked at each other, they flared dangerously until they decided to strike fast. Nemesis made a blade with her right arm, as she tries to stab at Lord X, only for Lord X to teleported and try to grab Master Nemesis from behind, only for Master Nemesis to become a mist of Dark Matter and phase through the attack, before reformed in the air, and now in a appearance form.

Nemesis then made a pair of wings, so that she can fly and go against Lord X on even terms. Lord X smiled, as he flies into the air, and goes to her as fast as he can, and Master Nemesis flies down as well, as she then made some blades on her hair in order to try and stab Lord X painfully. Lord X got stabbed, but he laughed, as he stabbed Master Nemesis as well, but Nemesis smiled, as she instantly healed from that, as soon as she and Lord X got down. Lord X then summoned some dead souls of his victims, their bodies mutilated and mangled in such horrifying ways, to try and attack Nemesis. But Nemesis smiled, as she raised her own hand, and all of a sudden, the dead souls were hijacked, as they are now under the control of Nemesis, and tries to turn and attack Lord X. But Lord X used his powers to end then away, as he then spoke out to Master Nemesis, a tone of amusement and being impressed is present.

"Interesting, you possess some powers that are similar to mine. You might be much more worthy of being use to me."

Lord X then flies to her, as Master Nemesis and Lord X turned into their misty dark matter forms, and began to. They then briefly separated, as Lord X fired a skeletal hand from his mouth, and Master Nemesis made a hand with her hand, as the 2 hands grabbed and pulled at each other. Lord X and Master Nemesis looked at each other, as Master Nemesis spoke out.

"It is a shame that you won't be able to take me that easily, Lord X."

Lord X smiled so sinisterly, as he then spoke out.

"There is only one way to find our, Master Nemesis."

Nemesis then phased into the ground, before appearing in front of Lord X and tries to stab him in the head, but Lord X dodged the attack, and stood in front of Master Nemesis. Lord X then grabbed Master Nemesis, but sees that Nemeiss is not being affected by the decay of his touch. Now this really makes Lord X intrigued. Normally, any being, even Error404, although he cannot be killed, can be affected by his decaying touch. But Nemesis, despite being weaker, is not affected at all. It appears that Nemesis' status as a Dark Matter being, like Lord X himself, seems to be of aid to her. Lord X teleported away, as he stood in front of Nemesis.

But as that happened, a glitchy portal opened, and about Gradient and Ikaros jumped out from the other side, as Lord X's other body came out, looking amused. This made Nemesis shocked, as she spoke out.

"What the? How are there 2 of them?"

Gradient spoke out.

"This place is an extension of Lord X himself. These are not even his real bodies. Just bodies that he has made to interact with us."

Lord X smiled, as he and the other body merged together, and Lord X spoke out.

"This has been fun. The most fun that I have had in such a long time. I thank all of you for that. But now...let's increase the difficult to the limit...shall we?"

Lord X then opened his mouth to an inhuman wide scale, as hand erupted out from the mouth, but not the normal skeletal one, as another one came, and then...a new body of Lord X, likely his true form, or rather, closer to it...came out from the mouth, as the smaller body disintegrated. And needless to say, it was a horrifying sight to behold.

Lord X then changed into what seems to be his true form, as he became tall and lanky, and somehow a bit more horrifying then ever before. Nemesis smiled, as she looks up to see the full form of Lord X, as she then spoke.

"Stars...who knew that such power from a being made of Dark Matter exists. Can I even do that?"

Lord X chuckled, as he spoke out.

"This is the end of this line for all of you."

Lord X charged at them, but Nemesis, Gradient, and Ikaros ran as fast as they can, charging at Lord X, and got ready to attack. But before that they can hit each other...a voice spoke out.

"That is enough games to play, Lord X."

Then, a powerful blue blast of energy fired out of complete nowhere, and sent the 4 of them away from each other, and they looked to see who has arrived too put a stop to this. And needless to say, Lord X is not at all happy to see him.

Error404 has arrived, and he looks pretty mad in a rather calm way. His eyes looked up at Lord X, and he then spoke out to him.

"Hello, Lord X."

Lord X looks at 404, and spoke out.

"Oh, 404. I didn't think that you were going to appear to my realm."

404 narrowed his eyes, and spoke out.

"You had taken the son of my apprentice, did you think I wouldn't notice? Especially after the agreement that my henchman, Nightmare, had given to you involving your Guardian, Kito, where he would give Kito followers to make him return back to full strength. Were those followers not enough to you? And now you had taken Gradient, even though there is no reason to do something such as this. So don't even think of trying this again, Lord X. This is my warning."

Lord X sighed, but kept his smile, as he then spoke out.

"Oh, very well then. I won't do it again. After all, I just wanted to have some fun...and it is a delightful form of it. So...I think I am satisfied for now."

404 nodded his head, before turning to Gradient, Ikaros, and Nemesis, before he roared his right hand, and snapped his fingers, teleporting all 3 of them back to Error's AU, but in different locations. Gradient and Ikaros to Error's House, and Nemesis to where her ally is. 404 then looks at Lord X, and spoke out.

"Don't ever do that again. Or you'll be my Henchmen next."

404 teleported away, as Lord X rolled his eyes, before he then spoke out.

"You can try, Error404. But even with your power, I will never belong to you, for I have no need in whatever plan that you have for me. We'll meet again soon, friend."

Lord X then teleported back to his throne and does chuckle and laugh a little bit, due to how fulfilled he is at the battle that he had against all 3 of them. Today had been very entertaining for Lord X himself.

At Error's Home...

Error is using his green strings to heal Gradient from Lord X's attack, as he spoke out.

"I can't believe Lord X would do that, attack you out of complete nowhere!! Especially after Nightmare's agreement! Next time if he does this, he is dealing with me!!!"

Righteous sound pissed, as Blueprint held onto Gradient's arm.

"Are you okay, brother?"

Gradient nodded his head, as he then spoke out.

"Yeah, I am. Just a bit roughed up, is all."

Righteous spoke back.

"A bit roughed up?! You had a tiny bit of your shoulder decay!! If it stayed like that a bit little or longer, it would have certainly began to spread in which it would have most certainly killed you!!"

Gradient sighed, as Righteous is done healing Gradient, as Gradient then spoke out.

"Thank for healing me, father."

Righteous nodded his head, as Kirisaki leaned her head against Righteous, and spoke out.

"That mush have been scary, your creation's life being on the line."

Error nodded, as Lala spoke out.

"If I ever see this Lord X, he will pay!"

Run nodded, as she pumped her fist.

"Count me in!!"

Yami nodded, as she too is also unhappy with this. Seems like she is wanting you to Gradient a little more. Gradient sighed, as he spoke out.

"Well, at least that the entire thing has been stopped by 404, thanks to him. I don't know how I'll be able to live without him."

Righteous nodded his head, as he then spoke out.

"Yeah, agreed. And hopefully, Lord X will leave you alone this time."

Gradient nodded his head.

Elsewhere...

Nemesis is now outside with her partner and teammate, Mea Kurosaki, as Mea spoke out.

"Nemesis, what do you mean, you had encountered a being similar to yourself?"

Nemesis looked at Mea Kurosaki, and spoke out.

"When I was with Gradient, he, along with that Ikaros girl, got taken by a being that is just like me, a being made of Dark Matter. But his powers...they are far stronger then me, even with what I have. I have never seen anything like it."

Mea Kurosaki looked worried, as she spoke out.

"Are you okay, Master Nemesis?"

Nemesis nodded her head, as she spoke out.

"Yeah, I'm okay."

Nemesis then looks up at the full moon of the night sky, as she then spoke out.

"But something tells me that I have not seen the last of Lord X. I have a feeling that we will meet again. And obviously, it is not going to be pleasant when the both of us reunite."

Alphatale....

404 narrowed his eyes, as he sees Lord X through his sphere, taking to Kito, the Guardian of Prayer, a giant statue hedgehog with a large mouth and a tongue, but lacks legs, and the words, I AM, is seen at the bottom of the pillar. 404 spoke out.

"This will not be passed off easily, Lord X, especially after what you had nearly done. I will not tolerate what you nearly tried to do to Gradient."

He then narrowed his eyes a bit more dangerously, his left eye flared, as he spoke out.

"Next time, I'll keep a much better eye on you, and make sure they you do not do this again. But I wonder...are your guardians in the same classification as the guardians of Dreamtale, or just your own Guardians?"

He then turns around and sees his brothers. Alpha, his brother, is seeing going out on a date with Muffet, who is finally able to accept Alpha, due to the fact that he stopped the Astral Mother. Then he sees Infected with Betty, Frisk with Lucy, and sees Chara looking and seeing 404. 404 smiled, as he puts the orb down and goes to Chara, as he goes and kisses Chara on the lips, and the both of them enjoy their sweet time together. Although the promise won't go away...at least he can take him off his mind, by having his lover with him. And with how weak Lord X is compared to 404, not even he will dare attack Alphatale, despite being immortal and unkillable by even 404's power.

"Are things going well on your end, Willy~?"

404 nodded his head, as he then spoke out to Chara.

"But of course, Chara. Everything going very well. I am just making sure that Gradient is okay still."
