You looked up at a seething Error, hastily sealing the portal behind you and cutting off Ink's cry. That part was familiar at this point. His severe glare snapped back on you like a knife, and you flinched. In a way, it was nice to feel a flicker of fear at his enraged expression.

"How did you do that?" He asked in a harsh burst.

"I watched you." You said dully. "It took me awhile, but eventually I found out what I was doing wrong... but now I know what to do."

Error swiped at you with a sharp slap and you fell back, braced by the invisble ground. You yelped at the burst of pain, but didn't say anything. You shrunk into your sweater and cupped the stinging cheek with your hand.

"You idiot! Now Ink knows about you! I have to act fast..." Error blabbered but you didn't pay any mind. Instead you laid back against the cool ground and closed your eyes. For some reason, seeing Ink just made you feel so... hallow now. You lacked passion, not even the vague impression of caring left in your heart. You saw images of Blueberry flicker behind your eyelids, but they didn't mean anything. You saw nemories of Chara and Papyrus watching television with you, but it was like seeing it from new eyes. Objective eyes.

You had one person you cared for enough to feel for, but there was horror in his eyes when he saw you. He only looked at the half of you that you hated, ignored the bit of you that still remained.

"I'm just another glitch." You said bluntly, interuptting error and voicing your internal thoughts externally. "I'm a fuck up in reality, corrupted by a virus that makes my existing for a labor than anything. I'm just like you Error."

Error scoffed, raising a hand against you but stopping as fear flooded over his rage. His shaking hand lowered as he took a trembling step back. "W-What's happening to you?!" He stuttered.

"A nuissance.... a complication... we don't need to be here. You have no right to judge what is meccesary and what is not but in that way... I excel..."

You looked don't. You remembered the horror in Ink's eyes when he saw you mismatched body. A tear rolled down your face but then you smiled. You planted a foot down and from it spiraled vines of inky black. The drab tones of your infected skin scrawled further over you, darkening your sweater to black and finishing off the last remains of your original skin. You opened your eyes again and they matched, the rings now small and focused as you flashed a wide grin towards Error. You stepped sliwly towards him, vines of black stretching from your feet like cracks.

"It's time for a new god..." You said quietly as you grabbed Error by the hoodie. He grabbed your hair, attempting to delete you but the word Error surrounded him. "What the hell?! I can't- Why can't I-"

"It's time to clean up the virus." You whispered. In your palm you summomed a blackened pair of scissors. Their image flickered in your grip but they felt solid as you twisted them in your grip and through them down on Error with a roar. He screamed as the blade tore through him, the dust disappearing in glitches. You began to giggle, then laughing whole-heartedly as you turned towards the woven rooms.

"It's my turn to finish the job." You sang, darting towards the houses with a cackle resonating through you.

The captives were thrown into a frenzy, one spotting the vines of obsidian ink first then another tracing it back to the creature darting towards them. The many characters of the multiverse scattered throughout the seemingly endless antivoid, knowing they could very well die to insanity at the blank horizons but fearing the creature more. "Come forth little glitches. Let me choose who deserves to live in this world!" She hummed like a cryptic lullaby.

Her body, though small in frame, was shadowed by a large well of black into, grasping and choking the color from anything it touched. Her once rainbow sweater has dissolved into a black and grey striped mimickery of her original ensemble. Her eyes matched, the rings of cobalt, yellow and pink being the only color on her otherwise black and grey body. Each step birthed more distruction as shr grasped at the people trying to escape.

Her black creature, moving quickly and decisively with her movements, cut off the many people and rounded them together as she perched herself on the bar of a set she had created for the Underfell captive. "LISTEN UP GLITCHES!!!" She hollered, her lazy grin giving off more terror than ease in every sense. "Error is dead!" She announced.

For a moment, the atmosphere lightened, but with a sharp swipe, the creature constricted, drawing the bodies of her pawns uncomfortably close. "However," She lulled. "There is a new god in town. Cliche, I know, but when barbage like Error only proves to be a burden to existence, it's time to change."

"What are you going to do?!" A timid flower asked from the safety of a red, clay pot.

Her grin widened unnaturally. "I'm going to eliminate the garbage and save anyone useful." She said bluntly, making many panic. "Step up folks!" She yelled with her best carney accent. "For your one and only chance at surviving!"

Throwing her hands up, beyond her her ink creature opened hundreds of portals, each familiar to a singular prisoner. "Come and get it," she whispered, grabbing a Toriel roughly as her creature awaited a target.

The Toriel yelped, but kept her composure. "P-Please (Y/N), this i-isn't you!" She stuttered.

Her eyes scanned the goat woman and pondered. A cream white gown fastened by golden ropes and a rotting flower crown tangled in her horns. "Life... Reapertale... dances around death but keeps the cycle... you pass!" You smiled.

A gap opened in the creatures grasp, allowing Life out directly into a portal to her home. She hesitated to leave, but then rushed away and the portal closed. The tension eased.

"Next!" A few rushed forward, but the successful one was a rough looking skeleton dressed mostly in cherry red. "Underfell... useless... go..." You snapped.

The skeleton smirked and waited for the creature to release him, but it didn't. He looked back at the girl for a second, about to mouth off before stopping suddenly as a thin blade crossed his chest. Almost instantly, dust covered her barren feet.

"Release the useful, get rid of the rest..." You hummed.

There were no more volunteers.

Ink~
Not even seconds after her portal shut, I could feel space shift as hundreds, maybe even thousands of portals opened at the same time.

What was Error playing at? No, not Error... his magic was missing... who then? A few minutes passed as I rushed back to Snowdin, the plan now rushed. "Ink!" A frail voice cried, familiar and terrifying.

I slowed, not far from the familiar Echo blooms, as Life staggered through a hastily made portal from her garden. "Life!" I echoed, rushing to her as she almost collapsed.

"P-Puppet... she's changed..." She gasped. "Error... he.... she..." Life gripped her arms aggressively as she fought back tears.

"What did Error do?!" I barked, anger filling me as I imagined horrible things he may have done to (Y/N).

Life shook her head and looked me in the eye. "It isn't Error you need to fear now." She whispered. "It is (Y/N)."

"What?!"

"She's become corrupted by evil. Her soul has shrunken to nothing but a monster's and her magic... Ink... she killed Error."

Life shook violently. "She plans to kill any useless AUs... she wants to clean the world of mistakes..."

"That's why she let you go..." I muttered.

I thought for a moment then nodded to myself and looked at Life. "I need you to go to Snowdin and get Chara... bring her to the anti-void with you."

"What?! She'll surely be kill-"

"Trust me!" I snapped, catching Life off guard. "Just... I promise. I know what I have to do now. All you need to do is get Chara there."

I paused a moment and smiled as though I had I just had the most brilliant thought. "I'm going to save her... and the lost AUs... I know what to do!" I sliced a portal right into the wall and stepped through. "Just get Chara here! And both bros!"

I closed the portal and turned as I rustled through my dimension of organized chaos. "I may be a god of sorts... but once I was a Sans too... and we all get one freebie..." I muttered as I burrowed through my old possessions. An old faded blue hoodie, a withered joke booked, a tattered old scarf... then finally the salavtion I seeked. "One freebie, I gotta make this count." I whispered, gazing at a small glowing option, matted in dust but still asking the final question it always had.
