Ink's pov

Okay, my job here shouldn't be too hard. I just need to find Error, strike up a conversation to see what exactly I'm dealing with, and then get him good. Oh, wait. I already know what I'm dealing with. He's not very sane, seems to be suffering mentally, lashes out, anger problems... yeah. Maybe a conversation is a little far fetched, but hey, it's always good to be kind even to your enemies.

Hmm... where could he be-... Underfell is under attack. I bet the culprit is mister glitch~

I quickly open a portal to Underfell, and see utter chaos and hear maniacal glitchy laughter. Bingo.

I hop onto broomie and fly to all the commotion. Yes, I can do that now.

"GET THE HELL OUT OF MY AU YOU GLITCHY MANIAC!"

Said my rather pissed friend as he shot bone after bone at the destroyer himself.

He doesn't notice I'm here. I want him to see who's the boss now. It's show time.

(Play the song from the beginning of the chapter now! If you can't find it, go onto Spotify and look up Brushwork by NyxtheShield. If you don't have Spotify, then don't worry about the song.)

Error's strings shoot through the air towards Red at the speed of light. However, I am faster. I am speed itself as I dash in front of Red, and slice the strings clean in half before they reach him.

I chuckle as I look at Error's shocked expression, a smug expression evident on my gorgeous face.

"Hello, Error."

Error grits his teeth and growls.

"yOu alWaYs rUin mY fUn!"

Error says angrily, his left eye twitching in irritation, and his eyelights small; still not over the shock of my rapid appearance. Or, are his eyes dilated with insanity? Eh, probably insanity. His eyelights are usually dilated anyway. Psychopath.

"Sorry, but there are WAY better things than ruining AU's. Maybe you should try drawing instead? Or punching a punching bag? You could probably use that."

I say, leaning on broomie in a cocky manner as Error glares at me with murderous intent.

I then turn to Red, and give him a serious look.

"Evacuate everyone. I'll deal with him."

I say, breaking out into a confident smile and shooting Red a thumbs up. Red nods and runs off.

I hear Error growl out again, this time enraged that I have the nerve to ignore him and talk about him like he isn't there.

Ohohoho... you're in for a BIG surprise Error... buckle up, you're in for a tough ride.

I turn back to Error, a smirk creeping onto my face.

Error glares at me and narrows his eyes; his fingers moving to his face and pulling sapphire blue strings from his bottom eyelids.

I grab broomie and go into a fighting stance, still smiling confidently.

Error has a psychotic glint in his eyes as he rushes forward at me; his strings aiming for me and my brush. I slice his strings to bits with my black paint and move out of the way of an airborne Error gripping a sharp bone meant to impale me. Sadly, it will not get to live out its purpose. Poor bone.

Error spins around on his heel and fires blasters all around me. I create a shield of magic and deflect the beams. Error clenches his fists and shouts in frustration.

"DĪÊ!"

He screams as he summons multiple bones in the air and attaches strings to them. He gives an insane smirk and a low giggle as he tugs the string, sending all the bones down at me. I dodge each bone with grace; twisting my body this way and that as though this wasn't a battle, rather a dance competition.

Error looks at me in shock, as he pants ever so slightly.

"My turn~"

I say sweetly as I summon multiple clones of myself and surround Error.

Error looks around at all my clones, his fingers twitching and shaking, his eyes widened.

He can't tell who is who. He attacks a few clones, and they disappear in a puddle of ink.

Then, I order my clones to fight him back. One swipes at him with broomie, he dodges but gets hit by another clone's brush, and another clone kicks him in the face. Two hold him back, but he elbows them and stabs them with bones, then does a backflip and crushes the skull of another clone: killing it.

His strings are flaring about wildly; slashing my clones. By the time he has killed all my clones, one of his eyelids are half closed, he's slouched over, panting, his clothes are torn and he's pretty beat up. My clones did a number on him.

Funny, I've been going very easy on him. Though, this is fun regardless.

I shoot bones at Error. He stepped out of their way with a tired but triumphant smirk, thinking that's all I had. However, he didn't see the bones he dodged changing course, turning around and coming back at him from behind. He got hit in the back of his calf and shoulder.

He let out a glitchy cry when he felt the bones hit him, and his glitches became more frantic.

I shot a few more and he got hit in the ribs, arm and tried to deflect one from hitting his foot with his strings but failed as my bone simply went through the strings. Another useful technique I taught myself.

I teleported beside him and whacked him in the waist with broomie; sending him flying through the air, giving him no time to react.

While he was ascending in the air I teleported above him, and slammed broomie down into his chest; sending him crashing to the ground with a glitchy scream.

He let out a pained cry as he collided harshly with the ground. Rubble and debris went flying about. I flipped mid air and landed perfectly on my feet without a single scratch, nor a single bead of sweat. Damn, my training has REALLY paid off. I'm quite proud.

The dust and dirt cleared away, and Error was lying in a crater his body made with the help of me and broomie, he was panting heavily and his eyelids drooped. His arms were spread out and his chest rose and fell at a quick pace. He's clearly very out of breath.

He tried to push himself up and whimpered, but his eyelids drooped even more.

"hOw... s-sO... sTroNg..."

He whispered weakly as he tried to get up, but his eyelights rolled into the back of his head and he flopped back down into his little crater, eyelids shutting completely. He was completely passed out.

I suppress the urge to teabag over him and twerk in his face.

Instead, a genuine smile cast across my face. I have been waiting so long for this moment. Now I can actually help him.

Not am I only doing this for him, but for the sake of the multiverse and all the beautiful life inside of it.

By helping him, I can stop him from destroying too. There's still The Dark Sanses to worry about, but for now Error is my top priority.

I shifted my arms beneath his limp body and gently lifted him up, little glitches popping up where I touch him. I trace my finger along his cheek and the glitches follow my finger. I giggle quietly so I don't wake him, even if he's out cold. I tuck him into my chest and hold him with one arm, grab broomie and open a portal back home. I close the rift and put broomie back, and re- adjust my grip on the glitchy skeleton.

Dream and Blue shoot up from the couch once they're aware of my return.

"Ink you're okay we were quite worried-"

"Sshhhh."

I glance down at the sleeping glitch in my arms, then look back up at them.

They look at Error in awe and move closer. It's almost as though they have no clue who he is. Almost as if this isn't really the insane, murderous Error that's in my arms.

"I've never seen him so peaceful, even when he kidnapped me and brought me to the anti-void!"

Whispered an awe-struck Blue with stars in his eyes.

"It feels so surreal to have finally captured the destroyer. Man Ink, you sure did a number on him..."

Dream said quietly, gently tracing his index finger over the injuries Error gained fighting me.

Error winced, and gave a small whimper; his bonebrows furrowing in pain as he tensed up.

Dream and Blue both aww'd in unison.

"Who knew the destroyer was so cute?"

I said with a quiet giggle.

"It's quite hard to tell if he's cute because he's normally so murderous. Just like a certain dusty skeleton..."

Blue whispered with a pout. Dream and I giggled. It seemed we all had someone to save: Blue wants to save Dust, Dream wants to save Nightmare, Color wants to save Killer, Farmer wants to save Horror... as for Cross... he seems oddly loyal to Nightmare. It's almost as if Nightmare himself saved Cross. No scratch that: he did. I couldn't bring Cross's AU back. However, Nightmare gave Cross a home. I didn't. There would be a LOT more respect for Nightmare in me if he didn't cause unwanted chaos in my AU's. I'm very salty about that.

"So... what do we do with Error now?"

Dream said, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Well... I was originally going to create a cell for him in the basement... but that seems a little harsh..."

"I know it seems harsh, but Ink... he can't just kill carelessly without at least a small consequence. We don't have to keep him in there forever. Once we see improvements in his behaviour we can keep him on house arrest instead, meaning he isn't aloud to leave this house."

Dream's right. Error will probably try and escape so a cell here where I can keep an eye on him is our best bet.

I place Error's limp form on the couch, and use my purple paint to bind his arms and legs together.

"If he wakes up let me know. I'm gonna go make the cell now. Keep a close eye on Error."

Dream and Blue salute, and I walk off into the basement.

This entire process is going to be drastically long. Not building the cell but... just dealing with Error in general.
