In honor of "Mr. Erratum" being the first story I posted up in the older version, I will be doing it first right here as well!

A lot of things will stay the same of course, in general at the very least, but there will be changes as well. Please also keep in mind it has been a long while since I read the "Nerd and Jocks" comics and haven't actually read them beyond the point in where it was adopted by other people. I'm not even sure on who owns it right now! I only know I do not own NaJ. It belongs to it's respectful owner.

Before every story I will list the setting and any major warnings I think will need to be said in case of triggering someone. I will also put when Error/Erratum falls (if it is the first time going into the VOID, and thus the ABYSS, thus being without Null and Void, or after meeting Null and Void) and if Null and Void are with him. Just to make things easier. A heads up, I will be messing with Null and Void's ages more than likely. Their ages might change depending on the story.

Pairings, I won't be listing even if I do or do have some in mind and figured out. Want them to be a surprise no matter if it is obvious, seems obvious or isn't obvious at all.

With that all said, I hope everyone enjoys this story!

Setting/AU/Multiverse; Nerd and Jock

When; Second time (after meeting Null and Void)

Who; Error(Erratum), Null and Void

Warnings; No major ones needed to be listed at the moment

-Chapter Start-

In a split second, there was nothing.

Then, out of nowhere, there was something.

Pulling apart, pulling back together.

Loved whispers, woeful apologies.

Dark.

Up.

Light.

And then, down.

"aH FuCk!" Error cursed when in a blink of an eye he was shoved out of the VOID. Curling up around the children in his hold, he rolled when he hit the hard and cold ground. Rolling for a moment, he slowed to a stop. He can already feel some of his wounds re-opening. Can smell the blood and dust coming off of himself.

"wEll, ThaT HapPenEd." Error groaned in pain, slowly uncurling. His bones creaking and cracking as he did so. Null and Void both clung to him, looking around them with wide eyes. Looking down at the little child and baby, Error felt relief at seeing none of them harmed.

'Just what were they thinking diving after me like that?' Error wanted to scream at the fact they decided to dive after him when he jumped once more. 'And of course I didn't die! I thought it was second times the charm? Or was it the fifth?' Shaking off his scattered thoughts, Error glanced around the area he somehow landed in.

It looked to be a dirty alleyway, hidden away in a small corner. A dead end. The sun was setting, slowly bathing the place in darkness while stars and the moon slowly came out, gently shinning. Trash cans were around and a few rats skittered about.

'No dead bodies. Weird.' Error frowned, glancing around. Most alleyways he ended up in had dead bodies. Either because of himself doing the killing or just because of it being an alleyway. Usually a lot of dead ends ended up being dead ends. Ending in death, in his experience. Shrugging it off, Error just filed it away as the place being weird and different.

"Daddy?" A soft voice broke Error's thinking. Glancing down to the children in his arms, he saw both of them looking up at him with curious eyes. Null sniffs, wiping his tear stained cheeks. "Where are we, Daddy?" Null asks with a pout, cuddling close. Void does the same with a soft coo, eyes taking everything in.

"goOD QueSTiON, NuLL." Error lightly praises, Null beaming at the words. Shifting around, Error grunts as pain shoots through him but he easily ignores it. Standing fully, he shifts the children into one arm. Lifting up his free arm, ignoring the blood and dust dripping to the ground, he waves his hand. Numbers, letters and symbols popped up as a portal ripped into the place CODES.

Eyes narrowing, Error moved the CODES around, trying to make sense of what they were saying.

[145184-114-101511]

'Never heard of that.' Frowning, Error slowly thought for a moment. Glancing around the area once more before settling back at the CODES. 'If I fell into a different Multiverse the first time I went into the VOID, then the second time....did the same...' The only good thing Error can see out of this is that because of this fact, the kids are alright.

If it wasn't for that, he'd be screaming out in the dark about how he just wanted it to end.

Now knowing he was in a new Multiverse, he had to make choices. From the CODES alone he can tell this place is different. Less magic overall. It's there, but weaker. No one is pulling out Gaster Blasters willy nilly to say the least. Monsters were never trapped underground weirdly enough.

'It'd be easy enough to blend in.' Was the first thing to hit Error. Entering himself into the CODES, trying to make some type of paper trail, it'd all be too easy. Just by putting himself into the CODES, he'd get some kind of paper trail. But, the big question is, does he want to? Does he want to stay in this place. Can he stay in this place?

Can he actually live here?

"Daddy?"

"Oooh?"

Eyes snapping down to the too young faces, bright and trusting, Error knew then that his choice was made before even asking.

"wE'rE IN a DiFFeREnT MulTivERsE. A NeW PlaCe FoR a nEw StARt." Error simply explained to the children. "i JusT goT TO dO a FeW thIngS....." Going back to the CODES, Error had to know a few facts before entering any new CODES.

[51818155-72513-205138518]

'The hell is a gym teacher?' Error brows frowned but he shrugged it off. He just needed confirmation that another Error was in this Multiverse. Looking to see if others are in the Multiverse can wait for after putting himself and the children in the CODES and getting shelter.

[5221520-392025]

Nodding to himself, getting all the basic information he needed, he got to work. Fingers moving as if on a keyboard, Error got to work on entering the CODES needed carefully.

[518181202113-1391931123211212091514]

[14211212-1391931123211212091514]

[221594-1391931123211212091514]

Pausing, hands hesitating for a moment, Error for a second doubted--

{"Daddy?"}

Fingers carefully added to the last two CODES.

[19151419-2015-518181202113-1391931123211212091514]

Letting out a big breath, Error carefully closed the CODES. He and the children were entered into the Multiverse. No turning back now.

Then again, Erro--no, Erratum never did like doing anything in halves.

"NuLL, VoID." Little heads looked up at the one they saw as their father figure. He looked right back at them, face serious. "I'M eRRaTuM MiScAlCUlaTiON. YoU TwO aRE NulL AnD VoID MiScALCulATioN. I'M yOUR...." Erratum hesitated for a moment. "....FaThEr."

"Of course you are Daddy." Null plainly said with a confused blink. "Daddy is Daddy."

"Ah!" Void agreed with a cheer.

"WhAT iS DaDDy's naME?" Erratum stumbled over the word 'Daddy', but he had to know that the two understood what he was saying. Or at least Null did, as Void was young enough not to mess up and grow up learning his new name.

"Err-a-tum?" Null slowly said, sounding it out and trying not to mess up. Looking at Null's comical serious face, little pout and narrowed eyes, Erratum snorted with a smirk. "GoOD JoB, NuLL." Erratum praises, little Null beaming and looking so proud at this fact.

Rolling his shoulders, groaning at the cracking and pain, Erratum knew he had to make some sort of plan to get shelter. If it was just himself he wouldn't mind just sleeping on the ground in the middle of nowhere. With Null and Void with him that crosses off that kind of plan real fast. He is not about to chance anything happening to them. He might be a piece of trash and no good, but dammit, he's going to do right by them even if it ends with this whole Multiverse, and himself, on fire.

He claimed Null and Void as his.

His sons.

Not even Fate will stand in his way in keeping them safe and sound.

"FiRsT ThINgS fiRST," Erratum muttered, alert as he blends into the shadows, walking out of the alleyway. "LoOk lEsS LiKE I'M GoInG ON a MURdER SpREe." That might be his usual look, but this time he actually doesn't have any immediate plans for that. Back-plans, yes. Only for if shit hits the fan and he needs to.

"Where are we going, Daddy?" Null whispers, eyes getting heavy with sleep. Void is already asleep, soft breaths coming out of him, cuddle close to his father.

"WhErE GoINg TO FiND uS a PlaCE tO CaLL HoME."

-End Chapter-

There it is! I hope that everyone enjoyed this part and the more to come! And don't worry, after the end notes is the answers for the number codes. I don't want anyone banging their heads onto something while trying to figure it out or break it. It can be done, but man, it can be a pain and a half to do it. If you want to try doing it on your own, then just ignore the answer sheet down below.

I know this chapter wasn't that long, but it's only the starting chapter. To help set everything up and build things up. The other chapters are sure to be longer.

Now, warnings for what is ahead, there are of course going to be changes to the story compared to the older version. That can mean different pairings, different scenes, different plot points, ect. However, there will be similarities and things that stay the same too. I hope that everyone can still enjoy this story even with those facts. Maybe not as much as the older one, but still find enjoyment out of reading it.
