"... What just happened?"

"Multiversal Chaos! The normal for the creators." Hope hums, still holding onto Blue.

"What?"

Blue looks weak, as if his life force has been sucked away, yet he has enough energy to grin. "Heh... chaos... more like fourth wall shattering..."

"That's what Lunar does best." Hope smirks back.

"He's gonna pass out, Hope." Lunar suggests. "I think."

"Thanks for the warning, Lunar." Hope hums.

'And what happened to Blue?' X wonders.

Blue looks through his own coding to see pieces missing, another thing is that his upside down soul is dimmer than usual.

"Dark was taking his codes away. By the stars, so many creators are genocidal." Hope sighs.

"Dark?"

"A creator." Hope responds. "Along with Snow, Fire, and Lunar."

"I could usually feel others soul and coding... I couldn't feel either in her. Even creators should have a soul and coding," Blue whispers quietly.

"Well, nobody knows what the creators are normally. Lunar is a human with an angel form," Hope hums, allowing Blue to lean on him.

"Snow's a dragon, although she normally adopts either a human or skeleton form- depending on the state of the world- for dealings outside of the Storyverse." Lunar adds from wherever she is.

"I think Dark is a dragon too, but a different kind," says Hope.

"She's... like a dragon, but corrupted... she was so empty... like she had no soul..." Blue shivers in fear.

"Strange. What are we going to do with Blue?"

Blue is feeling weird, large amounts of his coding are missing and he can't fix it. Not even a creator can. It is just gone.

"Get him to rest, duh. Also, there are versions of Ink that are soulless, so it makes sense that others could have no soul." Hope answers as he sits down, laying Blue on his lap. Looking up at Gaster, he asks, "Any ideas for a place where he can rest, please?"

"You can stay at my place," he responds, his normally drippy face appearing unmelted.

Gaster starts to walk away, towards the only source of light in the whole void.

"Thank you." Hope says as he carries Blue and Weaver after Gaster, knowing X would follow.

Soon, they arrive at a house, which, although not as big as Nightmare's in their original Multiverse, was still of rather impressive size. The group can hear shouts and screams from inside.

"FELL, GET OVER HERE!!"

"RUN!! OUTER'S MAD!"

"I ALREADY KNOW THAT, SWAP!"

"BLINDY! WATCH OU-"

"Huh. Reminds me of Weaver and I's second-chance multiverse. The gang, anyways." Hope mutters to himself.

Four Gasters fly out the window, crashing onto the floor of the void in front of the group.

"Yo," Hope greets the group of Gasters.

"OH MY! BLINDY! ARE YOU OK?" A Gaster wearing blue and orange yells, quickly running over to the green-clothed Gaster.

"Tch, Gaster. Who did you bring back?" The red one asks as he looks at the group, silently judging them.

"Can we trust these guys?" X whispers to Hope.

"Aren't you all versions of Gaster? Or is that not how it works in this multiverse?" Hope hums. "And according to the plot, X, nobody knows."

"Yeah! We were all thrown into this house by Bunny, but she's gone," says the purple one.

"...Blue...?" Swap whispers.

Blindy stumbles up, pushing his hands in front of him. The 'blind' Gaster never opened his eyes, and he didn't want to.

Tearing his gaze away from the skeleton monster that looks so similar to his son, Swap helps steady Blindy.

Hope is carrying a sleeping Weaver and a mainly-removed-of-codes-Blue.

Stumbling towards the unconscious Blue, Blindy places his hands where Blue's soul is. He can feel where the codes are missing, and can see the heavy damage to the younger monster's soul.

"Hello?" Hope says cautiously.

Blindy gently picks up Blue and carries him. He knows all too well how to care for people with broken code, as he has missing code himself. He turns his head towards the new people and makes a 'what happened' motion with his hands.

"A creator named Dark fed on his codes while forcing him to attack us." Hope explains as he adjusts his hold on Weaver.

"What..." Swap mutters worriedly.

"Intriguing." Gaster says, his interest piqued. "I never imagined code could be manipulated like this."

Blindy's mind was blank, but the name was oddly familiar... Deciding to throw away the concern for now, he carries Blue back to the house- ignoring the others' protests.

"Well she was a creator. Stars knows what they can do." Hope shrugs, waiting for an invite.

"Well, I don't see any permanent problems." Gaster states, his great intelligence coming into play. "That being said, there are some problems."

Blindy nods and points at his own soul, then at Blue's. He makes a weird giving motion, before tilting his head.

"Do you want to know the extent?" Gaster asks, missing the gesture.

Hope waits outside, still holding his brother. He smirks as the conversation outside of the storyline returns to Lunar taking the tape. You can still hear the fire.

A sparkly figure watches Hope, slightly confused.

Blindy makes a frustrated motion with his hands before repeating the giving and pointing motion.

"Hm?" Gaster asks, noticing the gesture. "Do you want something?"

Hope waits for them to notice he that he is Blue's counterpart from a different multiverse, meaning that his code would probably fit best if they need to graft another being's code to fix Blue's.

"Uh, who are you? Another Blue?" Sparkly asks Hope curiously.

Banging his head on the wall, Blindy rips a part of his soul in half, giving out a cry of pain while doing so. His code was different. It could change to fit someone else's code, and since his soul was already cracked, it wouldn't hurt to help someone- even if it meant sacrificing his own soul.

"Yup. Different multiverse." Hope answers, watching worriedly.

Noticing the action, Gaster immediately understood. Grabbing the soul with blue magic, he begins the transfer process.

"Huh. Neat." Sparkly proclaims. "Wait, no it's not! Now I have more people to keep track of!"

Stumbling out of the room to avoid causing any incidents, Blindy falls to the ground as his breathing becomes uneven. Not only is his soul cracked, it is extremely fragile as well.

"Hey I'm not sure how long we'll stay. It's honestly u-" Hope starts before he hears a thud. "...What was that sound?"

Blindy struggles to stand as he continues to weaken, his HP dropping rapidly. Still, he is glad that he was able to help someone.

"Sounded like a thud." Sparkly offers.

"Stop moving." Gaster orders.

Performing a CHECK, he notices the quickly dwindling HP of his counterpart.

Hope ignores everyone and runs into the house. Seeing Blindy on the floor, he exclaims worriedly, "Oh my stars, are you okay?!"

The only person who had ever seen Blindy's soul was Swap. No one else would understand why Blindy's HP was dropping, but Swap would.

Gaster immediately scoops up the weak Blindy off of the ground.

"Can anyone here perform healing magic?" He asks, extremely calm.

Swap follows Hope in after hearing the yell. He sees Blindy on the ground, and gasps in a mixture of shock and worry.

"I ca-" Hope starts.

"It won't work. His soul is fragile." Swap interrupts.

Blindy turns his head to sense Swap, smiling as his HP continues to drop.

"Could you elaborate?" Gaster asks, his voice heavy with scientific curiosity.

"His soul is cracked due to problems in his original AU." Swap answers.

Hope mutters to himself as he sets Weaver down and pulls out his own codes. Pulling up Blindy's codes, he transfers some of his own to the blind Gaster.

Gaster watches, his mind absorbing everything he sees.

"By the stars, you didn't need to give him some of your soul. You could have asked me to give him some of my code. I'm literally his counterpart in another multiverse." Hope mutters to himself as he is nearing halfway.

"How useful..." Gaster murmurs. "This will be very useful for my research."
