"Brat?" A certain PE teacher growled as he entered Gradients room, Error was angry but couldn't find the child to take his anger out on. His useless son, Gradient, was missing and hasn't come back home yet. With a huff, he left the bloodstained room to ask his wife where their son was. When Gradient comes back, he will regret being born.

                                                                        ===with the deities===

The deities gulped as a large shadow loomed over them, the draconian creature in front of them was as large as a giant mansion with giant wings that were longer than its body. Their eyes had two long cracks going up and down and numbers from one to twelve were scattered down their spine like forever changing tattoos. Their tail was long and at the end and held two floating spikes. Between the horns of the creature, was what seemed to be a flaming orb with a clock in it. The weirdest thing is that the creature was made out of bones.

"W-What is that creature?" Mind stuttered out as she trembled in fear in front of the big creature, the only reason why she came was because she wanted others to believe that merciful was the reason why Gaia was dead, Ancient was the perfect way for the others to believe her. Ancient can see the future and past, she knows the truth. There is no way that Mind's plan could fail... well, unless she dies. She came to find the deity of time! Not die in the hands of a skeletal BEAST!!

"Is this a joke or something! Why does the all mighty deity of time have a door guard!" Mind growled through gritted teeth, she didn't have the time for this! Instantly, the creature glared at Mind with something she has never seen before. Fire burned in the void eyes that stared at Mind, it seemed to have a grudge against the Deity of the Mind even though Mind has never seen this beast even once in her life.

"Ancient!" Luck chirped happily as she bounded towards the draconic creature with her hands outstretched. Despite the size difference of the two deities, Luck managed to wrap her arms around Ancients claw. At first, the deity of time had an amused facial expression on her face before it suddenly went back to an unexpected frown when Mind spoke once again. "THAT is the Deity of time?! That beas-", it was once said that Ancient was one of the scary deities. Apparently they were correct and Ancient only had to look at Mind to shut her up. "Watch you mouth Deity of The Mind" she hissed baring her fangs at Mind.

The other terrified deities (except for Luck and Memory) watched the larger Deity hiss at Mind. By the way that Luck was fidgeting, this wasn't normal. Something had happened that made the terrifying deity hate Memory's sister, even if they have never met before... something in the future.

Mind narrowed her eyes, why was the deity acting this way? She should know that Mind is right! That Fate is the victim! "Wha-" Mind spoke to ask, when the creator gave out a huff of anger. "Come back and see me next time.... don't bring her here again." Ancient growled to the other deity's while glaring at Mind. Ancient knew what she was doing was wrong, blaming Mind for something not yet done ... but... she couldn't help it. Day and night she had been tortured with the fact that she can't stop it, that she can't do anything about it...she watched as the terrified deity's leave... all... except one.

The younger deity had somehow escaped the others view to stay in the pretty cave, to talk and play. Memory's big eyes looked up at Ancient before she giggles and attempted to pet Ancient to Ancients surprise. Ancient hesitated before lowering her head to the young child. "You're scared!" Memory said with some concern layering her voice. "You're... hurt..." she whispered, "why are you scared and hurt Big Draggy?" She asked while tilting her head.

Ancient paused for a moment, she didn't expect the child's powers to be this strong... taking in a deep breath, she replied.

"I'm hurt because you will be hurt..." Ancient mumbled to Memory. "I'm scared because I can't stop it...". Memory looked at Ancient knowing, "I know Draggy! I know that my time is coming! Don't be scared! It's in the script after all!" Ancient flinched, how did Memory know? "How do yo-" she began to ask before the child cut in. "I was never meant to survive for long anyways!" Memory chimed before turning around and running to catch up to her friends and sister leaving the dragon to stare after her.

"..." Ancient was silent, the child knew yet...

Ancient smiled as small tears ran down her dragon skull, the child did make her feel better. Ancient knew that there was more to be done but... for once since the creation of the Timeline sisters... she was at peace.

                                                                        ===with Fgod Error===

"WhErE diD yOu gEt yoUr sCaRs..." Error asked as he narrowed his eyes at Gradient, he had saved his question to last because he knew it was a touchy subject. Yet, he needed to know.

Gradient visibility flinched and his eyelights shrunk. "W-What scars?" He stuttered out. Please don't question why he stuttered, please please please ple- the other skeleton studied Gradient for a second before he sighed. "ThE sCaRs.. yoU'rE abUsEd?" Error asked with a small tilt of his head.

Gradient was silent... he wasn't allowed to tell... otherwise... slowly, Gradient started to shake in fear and terror. While his body was here in front of Error, his mind was stuck in the past of pain.

Gradient moved away from the stranger, "I-I need to go home" he stuttered out. "NO" Error commanded. He had been through enough pain to know that a child should not have to experience that pain. Even if it was nowhere near what Error felt.... "p-please.. I need to g-go home..." Gradient stuttered out, if he wasn't home soon... he was going to get an extra beating...

Error didn't know what to say, he didn't want the child to be hurt but... the child refused to stay safe...

With a sigh, he let go. "Go hOmE kiD. BuT i'M gOing tO sAy thIs riGhT noW, iF you eVeR neEd soMeWhEre tO go... i'M hErE..." and with that, the door out of the Anti-void appeared. Gradient was finally allowed out but... the stranger had been so nice, unlike everyone else at home. He... wanted to stay safe. To feel safe.

"Umm... Sir," he whispered as he neared the door. The sound of movement notified Gradient that the skeleton was listening.

"Can I... stay here for tonight?"

The stranger smiled before nodding. "Yes... YeS yOu maY...". For the first time since years, Gradient smiled a true, happy smile.

"Thank you!" He yelled, not noticing the black skeleton flinch.

"Thank you so much!".

"HeH... nO pRoBlEms.."

"... my name is Gradient, what's yours?"

"... mY nAmE iS Error but nOt yoUr ErrOR"

".... what?"

                                                                                    ===with Lust===

Lust had his non-existent nose stuck in the book, secrets that none knew was shared with him as he flipped through the never ending pages.

He never knew much of his past, he had been created with no memory. No past. Only to experience his horrible AU, to be tormented as he ran and hid as an attempt to avoid the pain.

His memories were fuzzy as he, unlike anyone else in his AU, didn't know his past. Every Sans has a past even if they were created past that time, Lust however, was different. What was even stranger was that the book had almost every AU recorded in it along with the information. The other 0.0000000000001 of the AUs as not recorded and for some reason. Lusts AU was in that category.

As Lust flipped to the next page, he was approached by one, confusing sentence.

"DO NOT LET THE FALSE CREATOR GET THEIR HANDS ON THIS BOOK"

This scared him. The false creator? Who was that? The only creator he knew was.... Ink...

The sudden sound of thumping was heard and Lust jolted up in shock, he whipped his head around until his gazed travel to the room across from his. The medical room. The door was locked from the outside and someone was inside, trapped.

"H-hang on!" He stuttered as he scrambled for the door, the book forgotten. The lock click off as the door slammed open to reveal a Reaper with mixed emotions, "R-Reaper?" Lust asked as he showed no fear of the death god.

"Lust, do you know someone named Geno?" He asked with a frustrated tone. Something seemed to click in Lust's mind. Just for one second before it disappeared back into the most that his Lust's memories.

"LUST!! GET BACK HERE!!"

"Pfft- no can do Geno! If I do, I'm going to be killed by a certain someone!"

"GAH! JUST GET OVER HERE SO I CAN KILL YOU!!"

"Nope!"

"DANG IT!!"

"Come on baeee~ Lust helped us get together"

"B-Baka!!"

"Pfft- Reaper! That was g-great!!"

"Thanks Lust!"

"LUST!! REAPER!"

"Haha!!"

"You can't be mad at me forever birb~"

"I'M NOT A BIRB! AND WHAT EVEN IS THAT?!!"

"N-no... I d-don't know anyone named Gen-" It's came back... longer than last time.

"L-Lust? LUST! What happened! Why are you covered in scars!?"

"H-heh, it's n-nothing G-Geno."

"It's that stupid creator again isn't it?!!"

"G-Gen-"

"IF THAT CREATOR COMES NEAR YOU AGAIN I WILL PERSONALLY MURDER HIM PAINFULLY!"

"W-What! No! Y-yeah he hurt me b-but he doesn't deserve to b-be hurt!"

"THIS IS THE FIFTH TIME THIS WEEK LUST! THE OTHER DAY I WAS NEAR YOU THE WHOLE TIME TO MAKE SURE YOU WON'T BE HURT!"

"G-Geno!"

"I'm sorry Lust... I got mad..."

"I-it's alright Geno"

"Lust?" Reaper asked the zoned out skeleton.

"####!!! NO!! Fight back!!"

"####!! Why are you doing this?!!!"

"Because ####!! I need the power!!"

"Can't you see that the plague is taking control over you?!!!!"

"It can't take control over me and it never will!!"

"####!!!"

"#########... it's *cough* alright..."

"No no no!! Don't leave me!"

"D-Don't worry about me... *cough* help ####... she needs your help from the corruption..."

"H-hang on! I can help you! I-I-"

"It's.... al...right..,"

"####!!!!!!!!"

"Reaper... follow me..." Lust demanded as he marched into his room to get a certain book.

"Lust- what?" Reaper asked as he followed the skeleton down the hallway.

"We have secrets to uncover, starting with this books first story."

"... Lust, there's nothing in the book..."

"... what?"

                                              ===meanwhile in an alley in another Multiverse===

A giant hole appeared from thin air and blazing red fire blasted through it along with maniacal laughter. "FINALLY I CAN BREAK THIS WALL!" Screams a purple haired girl as she races into the alley, almost crashing into the door. The flamethrower in her hand was turned off yet it gave off the hot waves.

"Lunar, calm down" says a sparkly boy with brown hair and ocean eyes.

"NEVER!" She screeched before looking around. "Where are we? And... where are the others?"

"There not here yet." A new voice spoke as T-Dude and Lunar turned around to see a skeleton with white and yellow hair that reached her hips. Her right eye was covered by her hair while her left eye was a red rifle target, two cat ears were folded downwards and her long dress wavered in the wind.

"Cardinal?" T-Dude breathed as he gazed at the skeleton with a confused look.

"Wait, you know her?"

"She's supposed to be in #####... she's not suppose to be able to leave it..."

"I'm not the real Cardinal" the figure said as she answered the silent question.

"Memories that are locked away are sealed within the owners soul with magic, Cardinal doesn't have enough magic to do that. Instead, the memories created me. Waiting till the time is right to return to the owner." She explains that while a holographic diagram appears to make the explanation easier to understand.

"For now, I will leave you. You must find Error by yourself." She ends as she turns to leave. "Wait!" Calls T-Dude as he stopped the figure.

"What should we call you?"

"... call me Code" and with those last words, she disappeared. Leaving the two creators to search for the forced destroyer.

"... WHAT THE HECK JUST HAPPENED AND HOW ARE WE SUPPOSE TO FIND ERROR WHEN WE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE WE ARE??!!
