Blue pulls at the chains, narrowing his eyes at Ink.

"Look Blue, this can go easy..however, if you keep refusing to turn from the destroyer's control, this could go the hard way." Blue spits on the artist, the latter sighing softly and wiping the spit away.

"Sorry Blue. You've made your choice." Ink grabs some sort of elongated metal object, and jabs it into Blue's side, electrocuting the smaller skeleton. Honey is in the room too, and looks away when Ink electrocutes his brother. Blue pants softly when Ink finishes electrocuting him, looking at the painter.

"Ink...why are you so hellbent on claiming Error is just an emotionless destroyer?" Honey steps forward.

"Blue, he kidnapped you, and yet you defend him?! Why?! Why did you betray us?!" Ink chuckles softly.

"Error is an emotionless destroyer. Anything you saw was either Stockholm syndrome or Error tricking you." Blue looks down.

"Just tell us his weakness, and we can make this whole issue disappear." Blue looks at Ink, seriousness covering his face.

"Error has no weaknesses. The only way you'll be rid of his destruction is through his death." Something flashes in Ink's eyes and he teleports to a war room, humming softly. Honey teleports with Ink.

~Meanwhile~

Color and Dream sneak outside Ink's office, listening.

"Ink...why are you so hellbent on claiming Error is just an emotionless destroyer?" Dream looks at Color, nodding, that voice being recognized as Blue's.

"Blue, he kidnapped you, and yet you defend him?! Why?! Why did you betray us?!" Ink chuckles softly. Dream's eyes widen, recognizing Honey's voice, and Ink's chuckle.

"Error is an emotionless destroyer. Anything you saw was either Stockholm syndrome or Error tricking you." Color narrows his eyes, putting together that Ink is lying about more than what he's recently discovered.

"Just tell us his weakness, and we can make this whole issue disappear." Dream turns away, knowing what Blue is likely to say next, it's obvious.

"Error has no weaknesses. The only way you'll be rid of his destruction is through his death." Color's eyes widen. It makes sense that Error is different from other Sansi, but having him be so integral that there's no way to just pull him to the side of good...that's dangerous.

The sounds of two warps alert Dream and Color to the fact they can enter the room safely now. Dream nods to Color, and picks the lock, opening the door. Color looks around Ink's office, while Dream runs over to the chained Blue.

"Blue, you okay?" Blue looks at them, a smile spreading across his face.

"Other than being electrocuted a few times, I'm good. How did you guys find me? And what do you know?"

"That Error isn't a soulless selfish being destroying just for shits and giggles. And that he really wanted you safe." Blue smiles at Dream, confusion taking over his happiness when he looks at Color.

"Can Color be trusted?" Color shrugs.

"You'll have to find out." Blue narrows his eyes, watching Dream remove his handcuffs. Once Blue is free, he starts gently tapping something on the inside of his left wrist, a blue glow emanating from his scarf. Then a portal appears below Blue, and he grins, waving, dropping through. The portal closes behind him, leaving Dream and Color a little confused.

"When the fuck did Blue learn teleportation?"

~Meanwhile~

Blue's portal lead to a place ordinarily the center of enemy territory. Blue lands in a room in Nightmare's castle. Blue carefully opens the door, watching out for any unwitting people who don't yet know Blue as Error's friend. Blue walks from room to room, eventually ending up in the living room. He sighs, thankful to have seen nobody yet. A sharp bone flies by his face, planting itself in the wall past Blue. Blue turns, looking at Killer, Dust, and Horror.

"So much for luck."

"What is a Star Sans doing here?" Blue winces.

"Yeah, don't call me with Ink's little pissy party of liars and sheep." Dust laughs.

"Why should we trust you?"

"Because Error here really wants Blue alive." The four turn to see Nightmare with Error. Error's eyes become star-like and he tackle-hugs Blue, who happily hugs back.

"Error! I was so worried about you!"

"I had Fresh and Geno keeping me company, but Color said he'd get you free, and I figured you'd go here to find someone who could get you to me, so I just met you in the middle." Blue smiles and Dust has a mental breakdown.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!"

"Well, Dust, Blue had an epiphany with Error and has had a few nightmares involving him. I'd say he's more on our side."

"What of Color?" Killer gets close to Nightmare, calmly asking that question, a powerful poker face making appearances.

"I'm not sure, but Dream is definitely waking up." Blue shakes his head.

"Ink has his ways of undoing that awakening. And I fear he has a deadly plan involving Error." Nightmare hums.

"Well, we need to take you off the grid. You'll have to stay here, as going home would mean seeing Honey, and I doubt he has been too kind to you." Blue's face drops, and he nods slowly.

"Staying here. Yeah, smart."
