The shadow quickly slithers into Blue's shadow, and it uses the code and corruption to attach to Blue's soul in a parasitic fashion, slowly sucking away his magic and his codes. Using said soul and codes, it can take full control over Blue.

Hope reads the writing and groans. "C'mon, Dark. Really?"

Blue staggers forward as the strings that held him release, even though their owner hadn't ordered them to. He felt numb, his body no longer obeying him as he is forced to attack the others.

Speaking of the writing, you can still hear the fire.

Hope blocks Blue's attack. "Dark c'mon! That's so rude!" Hope huffs. "Did you cause him to attack at the start?"

"Welp. I suppose it's a trial by fire, ayyyy?" Snow says.

Weaver rises a nonexistent eyebrow. "Most likely..."

"SNOW! STOP PUNNING WHILE WE'RE FIGHTING!"

"Also, quiet down Hope, you're giving me a headache!" Weaver complains

"Dark, Lunar will send the 0w0 after you," Hope threatens.

Dark forces Blue to use his hammer to attack Hope, if there's anything that the creators has said that is true... it is that her sadistic personality doesn't exactly care who she harms... even if they're her friend.

Well, she did care but she was too bored.

For once, she allows her feral side to take control.

"Dark, I'll get Lunar," Hope states aloud.

"Is she out of control again?"

(Girls, behave)
(I have to go do things)

Dark ignores Hope as she continues to force Blue to attack, while fiddling with the codes... although what she did, not even she knows. It did do something, though, because straight after, Blue's attacks became faster and more agile.

"LUNAR, GET OVER HERE NOW!"

"Most likely... But I'm sure Lunar will not mind messing with her nickname~." Hope purrs aloud.

(Lunar: Okay!)

Lunar comes out of a trash can. "Yeah?"

For the first time since this book, Dark changes into her physical form. Except.. with a few changes.

"Damn you, Dark!" Weaver growls.

She has four velvet black dragon wings sprouting from her back, and her eyes are pitch black with red rifle targets as eyelights. Her pale face has streams of corruption dripping off it, and she glitches from time to time.

"Dark's a friend of Lunar. What did you expect?" Hope complains as he blocks a blow coming far too close to hitting Weaver.

"Rude!" Lunar scoffs as she looks down.

"But true." Hope points out.

"Fair," Lunar sighs, going to mess with Dark's nickname on the fan club.

Before the others could take action, Dark disappears again. Back into the shadow of Blue, ready to attack.

(Dark: Wait-WHAT!! *runs to fan club*)

(Lunar: Hehe!)

"Good, She'll be distracted for a bit," Hope sighs.

"Did someone take a piss in your cereal Dark!?" Weaver shouts, getting ready to to string up their souls.

Dark appears, seemingly pissed off. However, she glitches once again, and immediately looks emotionless. She disappears before doing something unexpected.

"Where did she go!?"

The landscape changes, warping into a dark void. The broken figure of the original Gaster stands there, confused by the figures that just appeared.

"I told Hope I would." Lunar sighs, before her smile turns mischievous.

"Lunar that was a threat! A bluff!" Hope groans.

"Show yourself! Little help here, Hope!"

Blue suddenly jumps onto Hope with his hands outstretched for Hope's own, far less powerful hammer.

Hope kicks Blue off as he sprints to his brother.

"By the stars, where is Snow to give me the hammer when we need it?" Hope quietly complains under his non-existent breath.

For a second, Blue is freed from Darks control, his expression transforming into one of helpless pleading. "Help me..." he mouthes before the creature takes control once more.

"He's being controlled!"

"Dark, let him go!" Hope hisses as he reads the roleplay.

"Can't Lunar help us!?!"

Dark let out a hiss from Blue's shadow before his shadow starts to transform into the shape of Dark's true form, an enormous dragon the size of two giant mansions.

"Lunar's Lunar! Who knows when she will help as long as she gets to mess with people and the wall is broken!" Hope sighs as he yeets chocolate across the void-like place.

Instantly, Blue is freed as the shadow runs for the chocolate.

Hope sighs as he walks over to his counterpart cautiously and helps him up.

(Cue the frustrated screams from Weaver.)

Dark gives a smile of triumph as she grabs the chocolate and nibbles on it happily. Apparently, she is just hungry for Blue's code, or chocolate.

Hope just stares at his brother with a 'really?' face.

"Dark? Aren't you in several servers? Couldn't you just have asked?" Hope asks the creator.

"Yes, really! We could be back in the Storyverse relaxing, but no! We had to be taken to a different multiverse!" Weaver complains.

Dark gives Hope a 'really?' look before taking the chocolate out of her mouth. "I eat code, souls or food. Also, I was having a killer of a mood. Meaning I'm a killer when I have a mood."

"Bro. That was Snow and Fire. Not Dark," Hope shakes his head fondly, still caring for the glitching skeleton. "Also Dark, Why wouldn't you go to Erratum's original multiverse?"

"I want to choke out someone with a wire!" ((... I'm not sure who said this and I don't feel like going back to check.))

(Poor Blue. Being forgotten.)

"What do you mean?" Dark asks as she glances at her old host.

"So many of the blind judges there have souls, you know. And codes. And are deserving," Hope suggests.

(Seems like Hope forgot that he's still holding onto Blue. Ship anyone? Or nah?)

Dark shook her head before pointing at Blue, "I need another reason for a new ship anyways"

"Oh boy..." Weaver mumbles.

Hope turns to glance at Blue before looking back at Dark. "We don't know if ships are gonna happen in this book."

Dark shrugs before replying, "We never know, but we can always try."

Blue blinks, stumbling to his feet, only to fall back onto Hope. "W-What happened?"

"Dark tried to ship us but who knows if ships are gonna happen in this book," Hope says, shrugging as he catches his counterpart.

"I need a nap... hey Hope, I'm gonna take a nap! Is that ok?!" Weaver shouts.

"Sure, bro. Hey, what happened to Gaster?" Hope remembers.

"I WILL ACCEPT ANY SHIP!!... except for a few," Dark screeches.

Blue looks up to see Gaster above them, a look of annoyance on his partially melted face.

Weaver shrugs as he lays down for a nap.

Hope looks up too. "Sorry. Dark brought us here once Lunar messed with her nickname."

Dark grumbles, she just wanted to play. She is bored, and to her, that's a perfectly good reason to torture people.

"Dark, no. Go to Erratum's multiverse and play with the blind judges, if anything," Hope says, sighing heavily.

Dark hands Blue a necklace with a large, blood red crescent moon charm that seems to be made of rubies- or blood... hopefully not blood- with small, star-shaped beads made of obsidian placed at intervals along the silver chain. "Call me if you need me!" She tells him before disappearing in a poof of black mist.
