"What's going on, who fell through!" Akystaracer22 asked the mass of butterflies as she flew beside the mass. A crystal tipped tail waving like a ribbon in the wind. Her cyan feathered wings beating hard to keep up.
"I have no clue, I was just on my tower rotation when suddenly earthquake and a fracture in the sky. That's probably where every one is headed." The current mass of butterflies known as Glassplant, though most call her glass, explained as they flew closer to the rupture in the sky and towards where whatever fell fell.
Glass looked down and saw MelT201 gliding close to the ground below her and Akystaracer22. MelT's rainbow elemental form was glowing bright out of worry. MelT usually stayed off to the side and watch over others and helped when something serious came up. When asked, she would say it was for their safety. Some often wonder why until they saw her wings made of water, ice, fire, and electricity that looked a bit unstable.
"Hey MalT201! Have any idea what fell? It's not from any tale I weaved." She called down. Acer, as she prefers as her nickname. Was mentally searching the web for any info on what is going on. Not successful as of yet she growls. Crystals clinking against each other and her spine bone like wind chimes
MelT looked up at Glass and Acer before ascending to be just below the two at a safe distance.
MelT lightly shook her head in reply. She was honestly confused and that was evident by the electricity sparking across her wings and her rainbow, fire based body. MelT just hopes she can help in anyway, especially if it's to heal anyone despite her unstable form.
"So what's the plan you two?" She asks, gesturing to both glass and MelT, the wrist crystals creating more wind chime sounds
MelT shrugs as yellow sparks of electricity flew off her body. She was never one to take charge unless absolutely necessary. MelT would follow the leader with undying loyalty so long as the outcome was favorable.
"First," Glass says the futterflies fluttering towards the spot of impact "we figure out what fell. Then we get the the more coder based creators to see about closing up that fracture."
"I will send for one of my creations to take your shift," MelT said to Glass softly. "That way we can focus here and not have to worry about those creatures. Hopefully, nothing too dangerous crashed. I just hope if someone fell here, we can help them in anyway possible."
"Some of my creations are still on shift, but I think they would apriciate help." Said as she judged the distance they had left to go "let's just hope that if what fell through was a person that it isn't anything to bad."
"And if it is? I mean. I can help code the rip closed but if it's somebody who fell through then...what if it's somebody with malicious intent?" Acers ears went flat at the thought. "What if they are helping... them."
"I will restrain them with my element magic," MelT said with rare confidence. "I can hold whoever long enough for you guys to get help if they are working with Them."
"They've never did anything like this though, they are more focused on the world codes then the Alpha time lines code." Glass says as they come into view of the crash site of whatever fell "and if what ever it is is trying to destroy this place, then it would have been better to stay away from the rip, and not fall through it."
MelT simply nodded and flew near the ground to glide once more. She understood the orders placed on the situation. Whatever the case, MelT was ready to assist in anyway possible. She allowed her hand to drag on the floor to release electricity. MelT knew her creations would receive her message imbedded in the electrical current.
The butterflies flutter close to the ground and reforms into a women with dark brown hair, gray eyes, and a green dress.
As she looks into the crater from the impact she spots a what she could only describe as a black, burned, and bleeding skeleton with only hints of a feature on their body, blue streaks near the eyes.
MelT glided to a stop a safe distance from Glass and folded her wings close to her back, not all too worried if her blue sweater or dark blue shorts got burnt, soaked, or frozen over. She looked into the crater and rushed over to the injured skeleton in an instant, easily forgetting the warning Glass told her. MelT lightly placed her hand on the skeleton. As she started to use healing magic, the colors red, orange, yellow traveled up her arm while her hand was green. The bleeding slowed and the burns started to fade. Using her other, the colors traveling until her hand was light blue, she summoned water to wash over the skeleton to remove all the blood.
As the more major bleeding and burns faded as well as some of the soute thanks to the water, the details and damage on the skeleton became clearer. The multitude of black and red broken and displaced bones, the scares and cracks that would not go away with time, the nearly gone remnents of burned clothes. And the most telling thing to the skeleton the blue streaks running down from the skeletons eyesockets.
Quickly and quietly Glass slid down the sides of the impact site to kneel near MelT trying to desire what would be best to do, the brakes looked both new and old, and would require more then basic healing magic to get them back in please. And they still didn't know if the skeleton was dangerous. Though Glass had a guess on the answer.
"What could have done this?" MelT whispers in sadness. "What merits such injuries? What allows a person to judge and dish out such pain? Who would allow anyone to suffer through all this pain? I can even sense mental and emotional pain." The waters of her wings vibrate while electricity crackles through her form. After she was done washing all the soot and blood, MelT quickly placed her yellow hand on the floor to redirect the electricity from her form into the ground as to not hurt Glass and the skeleton.
Glass glared at the injuries, thoughts much the same as the other's questions, and all she could say was "I don't know for sure, but if I'm positive that I don't like whoever did this." She hoped she was wrong with what she was thinking, if what she talked with others about as a probability was right. Well, let's hope it's not.
"Is this who I think it is?" MelT asked Glass softly. "I think I know, but it's been so long that I'm very unsure."
"If I had to make an assesment, I'd say yes and no. I'm pretty sure I heard some of the others who were in the Antivoid talk about our Error's antics, but I do think they are an Error." Glass replied as she tried to assess what the next best corse of action should be.
MelT slowly moved the skeleton into her arms and carefully moved out of the crater. Once out, she laid the skeleton down with his head on her lap. "What should we do?" MelT asked. "Should we wait for him to awaken or move him back to the others to get properly treated?"
Glass frowns as she thinks about this before looking up at the tear in the sky assessing if it is likely for anything else to fall through before saying "best get him to a tower and proper medical help, I'll send out a report to the coders that we need a fix south of Tower 57."
MelT once again, picked up the skeleton carefully and looked at Glass. "Lead the way. I will follow."
Glass nodded as her form shifts back to a kaleidoscope of butterflies that flutter up into the air and start heading back in the direction they came, back towards the tower.
Acer, who was oddly silent this whole time, flew after them. "Which world do you think he came from?" She asked. Acer was on edge. Constantly glancing around for danger. Her eye lights gaining a hint of red to them
"I don't think he came from an AU, at least not one in our multiverse from the fact he fell through what I can only assume is the void."
"Let's worry about that later," MelT said. "We need to heal him up. Oh man my creations are going to flip out if they see him." MelT whispers the last part. Her seven creations were made for the balance, and they care deeply for any Error. They consider Error's as their siblings, and seeing the injured skeleton in her arms could cause a few of them to be hostile.
"At least two of mine are going to feak out, they don't like it when anyone gets injured." Glass says as she thinks on her creations who she knew were going to ger defensive the minute they saw anyone injured, much less someone that will remind them of their Error type friend.
The skeleton seemed to come around a bit letting out a wimper of pain.
MelT carefully held the skeleton closer and let some of her heat out to warm him. She also stated to use healing magic again knowing that as they flew, her movement jostled all his broken and dislocated bones which was probably hurting him. "Shhh, you're okay," MelT said softly to the skeleton in her arms. "We're not going to hurt you. We're going to help heal you soon enough." MelT saw the tower and sped up a bit more.
The kaleidoscope of butterflies quickly follows making sure nothing goes wrong as the skeleton wimpers again in pain even with the healing magic.
"I'm bored!" A white haired girl with red and blue streaks whined. "Where's MelT? She needs to help me with my AU! Twins, where is your Creator?"
"She sent out another electric shock," said a Sans dressed in mostly white with hints of electric blue. "She's on her way over. She seemed very stressed out."
"She said we should prepare the medical wing," another Sans dressed the same as the other except instead of hints of blue, it was bright yellow. "Influx, let's go brother. She'll be here soon."
"Alright, Impulse," Influx said.
The twin creations quickly left the room. SavageDefcon sighed, and stared out the window. Though, she saw three figures coming towards the tower quickly. Defcon quickly opened the window for them to enter.
Within a few minutes Glass reaches the to we and flutters in through the window as she returns to her human form.
MelT slowly entered through the window and stood a bit away from Glass. She was going to move to the medical wing when she spotted a familiar white haired girl in a gray sweater and jeans. "... Def-con?"
Glass quickly heads into the med wing and heads over to the cabnet where they keep the what is generally their go to pain killers whan people brake limbs, opens the cabnet, stares at thw vials for a good 5 seconds then closes the cabnet munbling to herself, "yeah we're gonna need something stronger for this." Before heading over to the "do not use unless absolutely nessasery" labled cabnet.
"Yup! Savage is napping," Defcon said. The white haired girl then hear a whimper and looked at MelT's arms. Defcon's white hair starts to turn black as she continued to stare. "Well I have to go," Defcon said as she walked away. "Savage is waking and this is neither the time or place. Fill me in later, MT!"
Before Glass could open the cabinet, she felt a tap on her shoulder. Glass turned to two Twin Sanses. They looked so much alike that you couldn't tell them apart if they weren't wearing two different colors. The one in yellow held out a medicine bottle to Glass. "Our creator informed us on the situation. Take these to her."
"Here are some gauzes and bandages as well. Knowing our creator can only heal conditional wounds, this can help with breaks or dislocations," said the Sans in blue.
"We should question them when they wake up. See if they know what happened so we can prevent it from happening again." Acer mused aloud. Her tail was swaying causing wind chime sounds, they were oddly calming
Glass nodes in thanks to the twins before taking the items and heading back to MelT.
"Good news Glass, I contacted a few creators and anons. Found a few coders to heal the rip. That leaves you with good time to question them on answers as to what the know." Acer walked up to them and said, keeping her tail swaying to maintain the calming wind chimes.
"Thanks Acer, but before we can even think on questioning them, we kinda need them at least conscious enough to talk." Glass says as she walks back over to MelT and looks at the mostly unconscious skeleton "and I don't think that is going to happen for at least a few hours with the amount of pain they must be in."
MelT was in a daze from Defcon's departure until Glass waved a hand in front of her face. MelT slightly flinch before looking at Glass. "We should put him on a bed and get to work," Glass said. "You should stop using healing magic before you exhaust yourself."
MelT nods and stops using her magic. She quickly moves to a medical room and carefully placed the skeleton down. Glass walks over and places down the pills, gauze, and bandages. "Thank goodness I alerted the Twins of the situation," MelT said with a soft smile as she gets a glass of water. "They are more calmer than the rest of my creations despite how young they are."
MelT then proceeds to taking two pills out of the bottle and slowly helping the unconscious skeleton take them. Once that was done, the skeleton's shaking and whimpers stopped as the pills took immediate affect. MelT moves once more to remove the remains os the skeleton's clothes without hesitation, then took the gauze and bandages on the skeleton after resetting all the broken and dislocated bones back in place.
Glass helps where she can untill all the injuries are taken care of before leaving for a few minutes and coming back a set of neon blue scrubs saying "I think these are the only thing in the building that will fit. Also, I don't sudgest going up up to the observation room. I think I can hear a fuge argument going on up there between people. Not entirely sure who, but I think I heard one of my creations screaming bloody murder. Wouldn't be suprised if a bitty climed up and informed them of what they saw."
"I just hope my other creations weren't informed," MelT said. "Especially Elm. He doesn't have control over his elemental powers when he's emotional. I'll send my twins to at least keep them from breaking anything or hurting themselves." MelT placed her yellow hand against the wall and sent out another wave of electricity before looking back at the skeleton. "What are we going to do now? I will stay and watch over him, but if our creations know of his condition then it could cause trouble."
Glass rubs her forhead as she adds "and if they are arguing up there they are doing infront of at least one infant, and I'm positive his brother will not be happy if they make him cry."
Suddenly a crach comes from upstairs as a chair falls past one of the lower windows.
More loud crashes, crying, and screaming could be heard until all that was heard was crying. An electric shock ran over MelT's body and she relaxed a bit. "No worries," MelT said. "Influx and Impulse have the situation under control. Impulse has the child, while Influx drained everyone's Soul energy so they're all sleeping. They bought us at least some time as all of them need to sleep to regain their energy."
Glass sighs as she pinches her brow mumbling "of course Alpha wouldn't let them make Cherry cry. Of course. I hope Mallory is still asleep, one crying infant is enough." Before heading up to the observation room to asses the damage.
MelT decided to follow to check on her creations as well, knowing it will take a while for the skeleton to wake up. She was at least happy that Influx and Impulse were able to stop an all out disaster since they did report Elm was flaring up like a supernova.
Glass climbs the later to get into the observation room, having to force the hatch open since it seems some debree from the short fight to find all her creations on the floor, from two passes out skeleton with what could only be discribes as wings of magic floating near their heads to the large skeletal wolf alpha. She turned to impulse to see Cherry, a Alpha's baby brother, safe but crying in their arms.
The twins spotted Glass and moved to her so Impulse could hand her Cherry. MelT came up the ladder and spotted a dog pile of her five remaining creations. MelT quickly moved all of them off each other since they were on top their sibling who looked similar to her, was pretty heated.
MelT made sure that all of Elm's locks and shackles were fastened to his form before moving over heal the burns off an armless Gaster and oddly colored Papyrus. The Undyne and the glitchy human seemed to be unharmed thankfully. "Influx, good job on handling everything here on such short notice," MelT praises. "I'll have to have a word with Glitch, Just, Elm, and Reese once they awaken. Impulse, can you wake up Recon? He at least needs to be up right now."
The white and yellow dresses Sans nods and moves to place his head on uncle's skull. "It will take a minute, but he'll be up soon enough."
Glass takes the crying skeleton wolf pup and quickly world on calming the little one down while taking a quick look to the corner of the room where a few cribs were set up for creators like her to had young creations and quickly spoted the, thankfully still fast asleep little black skeleton. They didn't need any more drama at the moment due to an unhappy glitchy baby skeleton. After which she quickly refocus on Cherry to get the infant calm again.
MelT moved to Impulse's side once the white clad and armless Gaster started regaining consciousness. MelT turn to Glass and softly asked, "Do you need any of your creations to wake up at the moment? Impulse can get them up faster since he is Influx's opposite."
Glass blinks at the question, stares at her creation who are here debating if it would be a good idea before saying "I would say Alpha just because he's better with his brother and the most level headed if I wasn't sure that he was the one who threw the chair out the window. And I'd rather not have to argue with Guard and Oracle at the moment about how, no we don't know anything about what did this so no we can't go trying to find the whatever it was to give it a 'bad time' as all the sans's say."
Before MelT could point out that Glass didn't answer the question, Recon shot up and looked around frantically until he spotted his sleeping siblings, twin nephews, and his creator. "Recon, I'm glad you're okay," MelT smiled a little. "I'm glad you didn't get too hurt. Can you explain to me why Glitch, Elm, and Just are here? I had only asked you, the twins and Reese to help here."
"Glitch, Elm, and Just were looking for you. They knew it wasn't out shift at the tower yet so they came to find out why. Once we came they knew something was up if a creator was missing from their post. We didn't tell them anything though. Miss Glass's creations appreciated the help though."
"I'm guessing it was a bitty that mentioned something was up then." Glass said "There are a few of them in the tower that are residents that I know of and I'm positive they normally inform people if something happened."
"Quite possibility," Recon said as he sat up. "We're usually stationed at a different tower, so we were unaware of the residents here. Glitch, Elm, and Just only became aware of the situation once Miss Glass's creations were informed. Reese, the twins, and I thought it it would be better to keep quiet so the others wouldn't freak out, but that was unavoidable."
"The chair flying out the window was sorta predicted," Influx said. "Elm about to blow up this whole observation deck wasn't. Luckily, Recon and Reese were able to prevent Elm from blowing up long enough for me to knock everyone out."
"Yeah, kinda pradictable. Though I normaly wouldn't suspect it to me back use of Alpha. Alpha is usually ok with anything, but if you make his brother cry, whitch the yelling probably did, all bets are off." Glass said as the little one fell asleep on her shoulder after finaly calming down.
"So, any clue on which of our brothers came?" Recon asked MelT. "You didn't specifically say which one."
"... it's one of your Error brothers," MelT said slowly. "He is currently resting. He had serious injuries and burns, but Glass and I did the best we could to help him. Anything else, we would need to know has to wait until he wakes up." MelT fell into a worried silence. Recon saw this and used one of his dismembered hands to pull her close to lean on his shoulder. Impulse and Influx took the hint and moved to join the cuddle fest to comfort MelT. Their creator moved to rap her arms around her 3 skeleton creations, appreciating the comfort she rarely receives.
"I'm still not sure if this is even from this here, like our multiverse." Glass says as she walks over to the cribs and lies down cherry "his magic just seems... off..."
"It doesn't matter where he's from," Impulse said confidently. "Or if he has flaws! He is an Error, therefore family to all 7 of us creations within Partialtale! We will help him no matter what!" Recon sighs due to his nephew's innocence behavior. Despite the twins being so calm and level headed, they are still kids. Impulse more so than Influx.
"Pulse, Miss Glass didn't mean anything negative by that," Influx said. "She just meant that we could be dealing with a completely different Uncle Error than were know about and that we need to be cAuTiOuS."
Acer sighed and put in "this Error could very well be an outcome of the multiverses for all we know, my OC is very familiar with multiverse outcodes, so it is key that we show him that he is safe, keep everybody who looks like the ones who hit him away until he understands that he is in safe hands." She explains, she is aware of the forced destroyer AM's and knows that if this Error is from one of them then the void must have taken him to this place instead of another multiverse.
"Your both right, I'm just worried about what sent him here though." Glass said "I've see a lot of crazy stuff, but that rip was not normal and it makes me worried that it's not going to close... and if it can't close..."
"Whatever the case, we can prepare as best as we can," MelT said. "Acer is also correct. Just in case Influx, Impulse, you two as well as Glitch, Just, and Elm should stay out of sight. Recon and Reese should be more than enough to help with this Error. We don't need any destructive emotional breakdowns from anyone." MelT glanced at her creations in worry, especially Elm.
Glass sighs before saying "yeah, we should probably set get all tower near the fracture on high alert and warn the everyone to probably not bring the more common or violent AU creations near here for the-"
Suddenly a crash comes from downstairs.
MelT jolted up and swiftly made her way down ignoring the sounds of protests from the other occupants of the room. Remembering all the injuries on the skeleton compelled her to make sure he was alright.
Glass mutes a "chaos all mighty that can't be good." Before following MelT to make sure nothing went wrong.
Back down on the medical floor the skeleton was no longer on the bed and instead on the floor, struggling to get back up with one of the IV stands having cracked to the floor when the skeleton seemingly got up in panic trying to get away.
MelT slowly made her way over to the skeleton and stopped a few feet away. "Are you alright," she said in a hushed tone. "Do you need assistance?"
The skeleton freaks and tries to move away, but falls back over holding his shattered ribs which, like some of his other injuries, had started bleeding again.
MelT rushes over despite the skeleton's shrieks of fear, and started using healing magic again after holding the other close. The skeleton slowly calmed after seeing the fire being closed his opened wounds. He slowly melted into her embrace, only to tense when he spots Glass, Acer, and Recon. "Hey, it's okay," MelT whispers softly to the skeleton. "They're not going to hurt you. We just want to help you. Can you tell us your name?"
The skeleton stays silent, clearly scared out of their mind, for a bit before trying to speak, earning the group a plethora of static like sounds before the other started having a coughing fit.
"Recon, water quickly!" MelT orders. Recon nods and leaves the room before returning with a glass of water. Thanks to his dismembered hands, Recon stayed near Acer and Glass while handing the water to his creator. MelT nods in approval before helping the skeleton lean against her before helping the skeleton drink the water. Once it was empty, MelT put it to the side. "Do you want to try again, sweetie?" MelT asked. "If not that's okay."
"I've got this." Acer calmly bends Down to the skeletons level and while waving her tail around, increasing the volume of the calming chimes she says "you are in safe hands little one. Here you are safe and are free from the chains that might have bound you. My name is Akystaracer22, but you may call me Acer. What's your name?"
The skeleton just stays leaning against MelT for a bit getting his breathing back in order after the fit before saying through at lot of static "E/r^:r_or*. W%h!-er÷¤e a•m [i]."(this shall be static talk!)
"You are in the alpha timeline. Home to us." She answered
"The Alpha timeline houses Creators, their creations, and Annons," MelT says softly as she gestures the other two to come closer. "My name is MelT201, but you can call me MelT or MT. This here is Glassplant or just Glass. Next to her is my creation, Recon" MelT slowly gestures to the two mentioned. "We brought you here to help you heal as you can see all the bandages and gauze."
"My main creation is an odd little monster that I call faith. I think you would like her brother Path." Her small muzzle reveals a smile at her words
The Skeleton looks at them in confusion "A¥l#ph",a ♤t~i_m%e l[i]ne♡..." before cringing gripping his chest in pain.
"Where does it hurt?" She asks the skeleton. Her smile fading into a worried frown
"A-are you okay!?" MelT asked in slight hushed and panicked tone. "What hurt? We can help if you tell us."
"Calm down MelT, you might scare him." She says, placing a clawed hand on MelT's shoulder
The skeleton makes to talk again but suddenly starts coughing again into his hands and within a few seconds a bit of blood can be seen dripping through the Error's fingers. Which Glass notices and says "ok, that's not good."
"Oh Toby, he might have gotten beaten by his entire multiverse by the looks of it at this point." Acer summoned a tissue box and handed it to glass
Glass takes the offered box and quickly pulls out a hand full of tissues which she hands to the still coughing skeleton after getting closer.
The skeleton just accepts the tissues still coughing and continues coughing into the tissues that slowly become tinted red.
"Can your soul process healing magic?" She asks the skeleton "nod for yes, shake for no."
The skeleton, still coughing pulls one of the hands holding the tissues away enough to give a sort of gesture before the hand quickly returns to it's former spot as he coughs harder.
MelT wraps her arms around Error and softly hugs him close. "Nononono," MelT says as she starts to cry. Her whole form shift from her natural rainbow color to green as she wraps her wings around them.
"MelT wait! Don't-" Recon called out, but was cut off as the room was engulfed in a bright flash of green. Once the light died down, MelT fell to the floor unconscious as her form was a dim rainbow color. Error looks more stable.
"MelT I didn't mean for you to waste most of your energy healing Error I meant I was going to take one of my crystals and heal him that way." She muttered, her ears going down
Glass rubs her eyes trying to get rid of the huge light blindness that had overtaken her eyes as she mumbles "and this is why I don't use flashy magic."
"If I had used a crystal it would at least had been a soft green glow instead of... that." Acer added.
"Don't feel too bad about my creator's condition Miss Acer," Recon said as he moves his hands to lay MelT on the floor properly. "My creator doesn't like seeing others in pain and not doing anything about it. It often reminds her of her past when others just watched her suffer. It's the reason she mainly watches others from a distance and tries to help when she can. MelT will be fine, she just needs rest. She's been up for a week now."
Glass sighs a bit at this, if they had giver her a minute she could have gotten pain killers, before saying "looks like we have two people in the infirmary now."
"Wow. That is... not healthy in the slightest. Kinda like my condition with me having to eat souls... that are already dead of course. When I took on a form similar to my OC I did not expect for her condition to pass to me as well." Acer looked almost amused by herself
"I guess we do glass." She smirked slightly
The skeleton, now leaning on the bed frame, after having pushed himself off the flame looks on in confusion.
"Why must my creator be so reckless?" Recon facepalmed. "I swear, she's just as bad as my Papyrus brother Reese."
Acer turned to Error "hey little one, are you OK now?"
Glass shrugs before saying "I don't even understand fully why Alpha gets so defensive of his brother or why Guard and Delphi have to practice together at the exact same time every day, no ifs ands or buts. You can't fully understand people, even if you know them."
"Fate may have hold of many world but Destiny will keep her own safe." Acer mused randomly
To which Glass adds more as an afterthought then anything "while luck weaves around both and chaos charges through, and hope rises through and through."
The Error just looks at them all in confusion.
"Error, ... what do you remember?" Recon asked hesitantly. "You're confusion makes me wonder if you know who Fate, Destiny, Luck, Chaos, Hope, and Fear are."
To which Error replies in as best he can "h£e%ar=&d vo?;i#ce" (i)n v#/o%id$./.."
"It is best if you don't know who fate is. Because she is a *censor*." Thankfully, her voice glitched out of understanding when she swore so she didn't ruin Errors innocence. Acer loathed Fate
Glass rolls her eyes a bit before saying "I still think Hope is the only sain god of the bunch."
"What did the voice say?" Recon asked as he helped Error up and onto the bed. Then he moved MelT to lay next to a wall so she wouldn't be stepped on.
"I kinda like destiny though." Acer said to glass
"/D£on€$'t r#£em=em:÷b@er," the Error says "a¤l■l (I )re•~m♤e%¥mb×er i☆s l'♧ou[d]e..."
"... I need help, what was it he said?" Acer looked around at glass
"Do you know who Fate is?" Recon asked.
Glass sighs a bit before saying "he said "don't remember, all I remember is loud" which I assume me and that whoever the voice was was either loud or said loud."
The Error looked at Recon before saying "f^a%te^ 《f~o□r<ce[r]."
"... well do you remember any words that were said to you?" Acer asked softly. Knowing that this is a delicate thing to be doing.
The Error frowns for a bit before saying "g/~o♡o■d r[i]¤d□e》n¿s."
Recon's eye sockets darkened at that for a few seconds before his one green and one Purple Heart-shaped eye lights return. "You're in a better place now," Recon said softly. "You're wanted here and no one will hurt you, dear brother. Miss Glass, Miss Acer, we should allow Error to rest some more. We have other things to attend to."
Acers eye twitched and then her muzzle was pulled back in a snarl "whoever said that will wish they were never born!" Her eye lights flashed red for a second and her fur turned dark purple before they went back to golden and cyan
Glass nods as she looks at the almost dead tired Error before saying "get some rest." Before freezing for a second and saying "I've got to go take care of a baby!" As she runs to the ladder and rushes up to the observation room.
Acer glances to what was probably a confused Error and said "Oh yeah, glass has a baby to take care of, the babies name is Mallory."
"M/a€ll@o=r●y?" The Error asks in confusion.
"Yes, and another infant named Cherry," Recon said as he headed towards the ladder. "I need to check on my family and send a few back to our Au. They're a bit too sensitive to be here at the moment and MelT advised them to go home once they wake up."
Error frowned at the name and explanation tiredly.
"Anyway, we should find you a place to stay for the time being Error." Acer says, going briefly into code view and helping try and patch the rip
"C%a/÷n (i] g>e□t s|o~m\e r¤e☆s¿t f~'ir♧s▪t?" Error asks tiredly.
"Ok little one. You may rest first." She Summons a bed and picks up Error, laying him onto the bed. Acer then picks up MelT and places them on the bed that Error was on before
Error slowly falls asleep.
Glass quickly slides down the ladder with a baby and then rises down a staircase to the next lower level.
Acer looked out of the window to see the rift in the sky, it seemed like there was no change in it. "Hm, seems the coders haven't managed a break in the rift." She quietly mused
Clanking of stuff can be head bellow as Glass does something.
There was some muffled talking upstairs, until sounds of a portal and protests were heard. Though it fell silent once the portal closed, and Recon came down with his purple clad brother with red gloves, light blue shoulder pads, yellow boots, with orange crystal knee pads and a matching necklace. "Reese, be very careful okay?" Recon asked. "We need to be careful with our brother in the future. He's resting now, but I want you to watch over him and MelT. Can you do that for me?"
"Of course dear brother! I'll do my best," Reese said. "You should go patrol. I'll signal you if there's any change here." Recon nods and head out on patrol.
A yelp is heard from downstairs as what sounds like something is thrown in a sink and then a hissing of what can only be a pot being sprayed with cold water.
Reese went over to the stairs and called out, "Is everything alright down there? Do you need assistance?"
"Fine! Just fine!" Glass yelled "Trying to heat milk in a pot, but it kinda caught fire! I put it out though!"
"Miss Glass, if I may ask, which infant are you holding onto right now?" Reese asked. "Do you need me to check on the other upstairs?"
"I've got Mallory!" Glass yelled up as clanking ban be heard, then a microwave this time "cherry was asleep last I checked! But you can if you want!"
Recon gazed over to his brother and creator, before heading up the ladder to check on the infant and if any of Glass's other creations were up. Recon got up there and started towards the crib, but once he got close he was pinned to the floor. Startled, Recon immediately summoned stings to pull the person off of him. He wasn't sure why one of Glass's creations would restrain him when he just went to check on Cherry.
Alpha growled at the unknown creation, he did not like those he did not know near his only remaining family.
"Please, wait! This is all a misunderstanding," Reese said quietly. "I'm just checking on Cherry for-" though Alpha rushed at him at the mention of the child's name. Just as Alpha was going to pin him, Reese made himself intangible. As Alpha was stunned for a few seconds, Reese moved pass him and went over to the crib to see that Cherry was asleep, but could wake up by another loud sound. Seeing that the infant was alright, Reese quickly made his way to the ladder, but he was surprised to see Alpha chasing him.
Alpha was pissed, first the strange thing in the sky giving them all a scare had made him angry, then the argument that had started for a reason that he didn't understand because no one bothered to bloody explain was the quiet little creature said that in turn caused his brother to cry, then suddenly passing out as someone took away his brother as he tried to shut up the argument the argument. Si yeah, he was pissed off,
Reese made it to the bottom and quickly dashed down the stairs with Alpha trying to grab him. Though, Reese slipped and fell down the stairs which caused Alpha to stop and Glass to stare at the downed Papyrus while feeding Mallory. Once Reese made it to the bottom, he quickly got up and ducked behind Glass to hide from Alpha while ignoring the slight pain from falling down the stairs.
Alpha rushes down the stairs after the stranger but stops before he can hit his creator who has the pup she cares for. He glares at the stranger behind his creator as his signs 'move' to his creator.
Glass stares in confusion at the situation catching what Alpha signed before turning slightly, making sure not to jostle Mallory, to ask Reese "what did you do?
"I-I was j-just quietly walking in to c-check on C-Cherry," Reese stutters and shakes in fear. "Before r-reaching the crib, your creation pinned me to the floor. I got him off me to explain I was checking on the little one, but he rushed at me! I was able to get through him to see Cherry still sleeping and then came down here to tell you, but he was still chasing after me!"
Glass sighs seeing the problem before signing with her free hand 'he was just checking on Cherry for me Alpha, he's a friend.'
Alpha stops glaring and blinks in confusion as he reads the signs before getting an 'oh' look on his face.
Not being able to handle the fear of being in the same room as his pursuer, Reese phased through Glass, Mallory, and Alpha to be beside his creator to calm down a bit. His nerves were all over the place, and he was a bit worried that he'd attack Glass or anyone else at the moment.
Glass watches this passively before signing to Alpha, 'I know you were probably mad, but did you really have to scare someone because they were in the same room as Cherry?'
Alpha then signs back 'they are a stranger to me and there was no one awake to try and explain. I didn't know if they were going to do something or not.'
Just then, a portal opened up and Defcon walked through with white hair and blue and red streaks. She spotted Glass with two of her creations. As Defcon walked up, she could sense slight tension in the air. "Yo, Glass," Defcon called. "What happened while I was taming Savage? Where's my cousin MelT or any of her creations? They need to fill me in on the situation." Defcon noticed Alpha tense at the mention of MelT's creations and asked, "What's with you? You act as though MelT's creations would hurt someone. Most of them are sweethearts unless you hurt somebody they care for."
Alpha looks to Glass tense because of the new person and looks to Glass for an explanation on what the person said ment, causing Glass to roll her eyes a bit as she translates it saying to Defcon, "it seems that I can't leave his alone and he not scare someone."
"Wait, who'd he scare?" Defcon asked. "What happened?"
Glass sighs before saying "Reese ended up going and checking on Cherry, just as Alpha who was extremely mad woke up and seemingly attacked him to protect cherry."
Defcon gasped. "Reese!? Oh geez, where's MelT or Recon? They're the only ones who can calm him down."
"They," Glass says "are in the infirmary, with MelT being out cold."
"Let me guess, MelT was being reckless again?" Defcon sighed. "Whatever the case, I need to check on Reese. He doesn't do well with negative emotions. If what I remembered is correct, MelT said that Reese was manipulated by negativity to hurt his siblings. With fear being the main one. I'll check on him"
Glass then says "good luck" as she checks to see Mallory finished with the bottle and puts it in the sink.
Defcon walked up the stairs and immediately found Reese on the floor shaking next to MelT's bed. "Reese," Defcon called. "Sweetheart, come here."
"A-aunt Defcon!" Reese exclaimed. He shot up from his spot on the floor and latched onto Defcon with tears streaming from his eye sockets. Defcon hugged Reese tight while rubbing his back. "Hey, hey, hey. It's alright Reese, everything is alright. No need to be afraid, it was all a misunderstanding. No one is going to hurt you, nor are you going to hurt anyone." Reese nods, but still cried into her shoulder.
Glass hums as she heads over to the living area next to the kitchen and grabs her computer as she places Mallory in her lap as she opens the computer. Alpha goes and lies down on one of the other couches.
Acer then appears next to glass "glass the coders say that they are unable to seal the rift due to unknown forces working against them." She reported "should I send some of my creations here to give you a better analysis or is it best we work to uncover whatever caused the rift and it's weaknesses?"
Glass thinks a bit on the information before saying "let's get more info on the rift before we do anything that could be dangerous. Maybe ask a creator or two from the guard to go with your creations, we don't know what is on the other side, so best to be safe. Pluse they might be able to help deciffer the codes."
"You mean like bill cipher from gravity falls? I'm just kidding, I'll send Path and Acrylic over. And two creators from the guard. Will that be enough?" Acer asks as she sends a message to her two creations she mentioned
A snort escapes glass as she says "I don't think the rift is colorful enough for cipher."
"True. Hey maybe something arrived with our anomaly and is tied to the rift, get it back through and then BAM! Problem solved." She suggested "who knows, if we exist than maybe bill exists as well." Acer smirked
Glass frowns at this before saying "the only thing I saw come through was Error, and he doesn't not have the feel of the portal."
"I know but maybe it's a phantom or something and only our little anomaly Error can see it?" Acer added
"Then wouldn't he have mentioned something like that instead of just saying he heard a voice?" Glass replies as Mallory starts babbling and waving his little arms around as my hands automatically pulled up a video series I usually play for him while I'm working on something.
"Maybe he's unaware of it," Defcon said as she walks with Reese holding her side tight. "I mean, I'm just guessing here, but from what I learned from Reese on the situation, Error doesn't even remember how he got here. If all he remembers was hearing a voice before getting here, then Error is unaware of his situation." As the two got closer to Acer and Glass, Reese stared to whimper as they heard Alpha softly growl. "Reese, calm sweetie. I'm not going to let anything happen to anyone. Besides, Acer and Glass are here. I'm sure Alpha is a respectable creation in front of creators. He wouldn't want to cause trouble and make Mallory upset."
Glass glares at Alpha for a second before reminding him "Cherry is up in the observitory, you can go get him if your so worried about one of them being crazy enough to mess with your brother and one of my creations."
Earning a sigh and an "alright right" look from Alpha before he nods and gets up heading back upstairs.
After which glass reminds "while I can acept the Error being unaware of a phantom or the like, I fought we would have the same problem." As Mallory coos at the fighting scene in the cartoon playing.
"Hmmm, this is so complicated!" Defcon said. "Who in their right mind would send Error our way!? Error is crucial to the flipping balance that everyone and other balances rely on. Who tosses the true hero of the Multiverse into the Alpha timeline!? It's not likely to be a Sans as they would rather see the proof of his demise for all he killed. Plus, not many could access the void without being taken by as an end result in the first place!"
Glass shrugs before saying "not sure, one idea I have is maybe he jumped after a beating."
"I think someone tosses him here," Defcon said. "If the rift is still open, then someone could be keeping it open on the other side."
"I agree with that idea, plus it would explain why the coders can't close it." Glass says.
"Do you think they bugged Error?" Reese asked. "If you those on the other side still have it open, they could be using him to see the Alpha timeline and try to figure out how to infiltrate."
Glass frowns before clicking her tung in thought for a minute, after whitch she says "unless they put it in his soul or skull, both of whitch are very hard to do, I don't think so, especially since his clothes were basically gone.
"Maybe not his Soul, but what about his skull?" Defcon asked. "Are you sure you checked him thoroughly?"
"Aunt Defcon, Did you learn that from Savage?" Reese asked.
Defcon nodded proudly. "Savage always told me to always be prepared to question everything. He always told me, 'It's not impossible, just improbable.'"
Glass frowns before saying "I don't remember seeing anything, but I guess it's possible."
Mallory laughs as a a set of charicters in the show role off a cliff.
"I wish MelT was up," Defcon said. "I know she could do a thorough check on anyone in their sleep. Dang it! I should have forced her to sleep, or I should have let Savage take control and forced her to sleep!" Reese shook his head furiously. "No! Savage has no boundaries! He wouldn't have helped put MelT to sleep. Besides, MelT- eek!" Reese jumped and stared to shake as Alpha came back with Cherry. Defcon sighed and rubbed Reese's back. "Reese, sweetie you need to calm down. Alpha isn't going to hurt you. He's got a baby with him. I'm sure he wouldn't do anything. Now, calm your nerves." Reese looked at his aunt before slowly nodding.
Glass sighs before saying to Reese, "I'm sorry he scared you Reese, Alpha's a bit... Extremely, overprotective of his brother, abd I think all the chaos kind of grated on his last bit of self control of a bit."
At this Alpha comes down with a overly energizes cherry running around his feet, seemingly a lot calmer them before.
"I could run a totality check on our new anomaly to see if he is bugged with something. That way I could see the source of the bug as well as where the bug is located on him." Acer suddenly suggested. She was deep in thought for a while about the whole bug thing as well as conversing with her creations and working with the coders.
Glass nodes at this before adding "maybe wait till he's awake though, we probably don't want him waking up in the middle of the search and having another freak out."
"That is probably for the best. If he would freak out... well... we all know how defensive I am of Error and other versions of him." Acer replied. Remembering a time she almost killed an entire multiverse because she was exploring it when that version of Error was beaten up by the Sanses. She shuddered a little at the memory
"That, and I don't think we want him opening up his wounds for a second time." Glass says as Alpha, brother running around his feet heads over to where she is sitting and sits ov the floor next to her as cherry hopps on onto the couch and looks at her laptop instantly entranced by the colorful and strange characters.
At that moment movement again comes from the stairs as Glass's other two creations in the tower, having finally woken up, come down into the common room.
"Oh! I'm so glad you're awake now!" Reese exclaimed with happiness now that he calmed down. "I'm sorry that m nephew put you to sleep. Influx was just trying to prevent my brother Elm from leveling the tower." Reese rubbed his arm sheepishly while Defcon pat his back lightly.
The Papyrus, guard, of the two replies. "Will likely not be the first or last time it happens. "
The Sans, Delphy, then adds "at least it stopped Alpha form gutting the group that decided arguing in front of two infant was a good idea."
Reese blushed bright orange as he felt embarrassed that Just, an Undyne, and Elm, a Grillby, would cause such commotion. "He he, yeah... my siblings don't take news well when an Error brother is in bad shape. They weren't supposed to be here. I deeply apologize for them. Especially to you Alpha. I'm sorry they upset the babies. This is why Recon, the twins, and I are usually the ones MelT requests on sensitive based assignments like this one."
Guard quickly signs what was said to Alpha before Alpha signing 'sorry for trying kill you're siblings.'
Guard then says "it's not the first time stuff like this happens it won't be the last. "
"If we'll be working with each, it might not be the last," Recon said as he entered through a portal.
"Recon!" Reese quickly latched onto his Gaster brother. "I'm so glad you're back!"
Recon used his disembodied hands and signed to Alpha 'You can't really kill us. Being brothers to all Errors and Inks we're unable to be killed. Soulless on the other hand happens, but our Souls reside with our Creator. An easy fix, but can have a dangerous result.'
"Did you find anything on your patrol?" Defcon asked. "Anything out of place?"
To which Alpha signs back 'I can at least leave some good damage and kneck them out.'
Mallory squeels in happyness as a fight brakes out in the show that is playing on Glasses computer, earning a quick look from Alpha as he gives a small chuckle as he sees both infants completely entranced by the show.
"I found an odd concentration of beast," Recon reports. "More than usual, actually. They don't travel in packs, but now they do. Is I was dispatching them, I noticed they've become more coordinated. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with our new guest and the rift."
Glass frowns at this before saying "it might for all we know, it is unknown magic and we don't know how it could be effecting the breasts."
"Should we notify all other towers?" Reese asked. "So they are more vigilant? Maybe send a warning to the people as to stay in there homes just in case the beasts somehow get through? Just to protect the younger Annons, Creators, and Creations."
"Yes," Glass says fully set on making sure no one gets hurt "we also need to warn the guard to be ready to spring out and best an attack at any moment. We don't know when or where they will attack."
"I will spread the word then!" Reese said. "I'll get my siblings to help." With that Reese ran off through a portal looking like a cartoon hero.
Recon chuckled at that. "My dear brother, you still are very childish. It's no wonder Influx and Impulse favor you so much."
Glass chuckles a bit before saying "being childish is good, it just means you know how to make light our of a situation that most would find heart renching.
"That's true," Recon said with a sigh and soft smile. "Our AU is just like the Anti-void, but with no strings and the floor was grass and dirt. Fate made our AU and MelT has worked tirelessly to change it. It was a blessing that Reese was optimistic and childish. He kept Glitch, Just, and Elm from being too unstable."
Glass closes her eyes before she says "all it takes is one kind soul to change a world for the better."
"Agreed. I have seen a lot of changes in the code recently, some are good while others... not so much." Acer agrees, nodding her head in acceptance with the words
"Yes," Recon nods in agreement. "MelT's kindness towards us forgotten creations has made our lives better despite the way Fate had created us."
"I remember!" Defcon said. "MelT found your AU and has done everything she could for you guys and more. Even letting all of you live with her in the Alpha timeline. She loves you guys very much despite the fact you were created by Fate."
"It does matter who created you, you are more than your creator, you are something special and the world knows it." Glass says
Recon closes his eye socket and softly smiles. "Thank you," he said softly. "I need the reminder sometimes. Even though I'm the second oldest, I took care of all my siblings until MelT and Aunt Defcon showed up. I sometimes forget that there are people here to help me care for them." Recon looks to Alpha and signs, 'I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one caring for my siblings.'
Alpha gives a sime before signing 'you do a good job at what you can and ask for help when you don't know what to do, those are the signs of a good sibling, and you pas with flying colors. '
"I rescued Path, Acrylic and Faith from a corrupt Fates control. They were forced to fight each other over and over again when I found them. I cut that Fates hold on them which ended up staining my magic with the white veins you can see. However I do not regret my choice." Acer put in, speaking to Recon. "I have watched my newest creations grow and change, but I will never forget why I saved them. However they are their own souls and I let them make their own decisions."
"When I designed my charicters, my creations it was always with the idea that they would be their own thing." Glass says as she stretches a bit.
"Isn't that always the idea?" Acer asks
"Not in the beginning," Recon said. "Some creations have to be put through hell before being free. That could be said for my siblings and I. We're not allowed anywhere besides our AU and the Alpha timeline. Our codes force us to participate in the fight between our Ink and Error brothers because we are beings of balance. MelT has yet to override Fate's coding. At least she's working nonstop to free us so we can live our lives."
"Yes, but not all creators end up doing it." Glass says "They make their characters follow a script in a way, they don't try and breath full life to them. That is not something I ever want to do, I put so much thought into each creation and let them lead their own paths, to input from me on their life."
"My latest creations I have had to torture in some cases just so that they can appreciate their new freedom when they find it. I tend to bring them to a pocket dimension I named sanctuary for them to recover and then let them follow their destiny." She says
Glass shrugs as she gets up setting Mallory down an a thrown of pillows as she goes over to the kitchen saying "to each their own."
Recon nods at the wise words of the Creators. As he was thinking, a portal opened up. He thought his Papyrus brother returned, but out tumbled a smaller figure. It took him a second to register who this was as he saw the familiar clothes and scars on the black skull. "Chronos?" The little figure looked up and rushed over to hug Recon tightly.
"Chronos!? What's wrong, my creation?" Defcon asked. "Why are you here? I thought I left you to watch over Tk and his brother."
"I was dragged into darkness," Chronos explains. "Then I found myself in the Alpha timeline. I quickly went to find Recon like you instructed if I care here without you. I'm so glad that I was able to find you!"
Glass making them all food mostly just a big batch of general tao's chicken but stops in confusion at the new creation that has Cone in.
"Oh, Glass, this is my Creation Chronos," Defcon said. "He was a Forced Destroyer until I was able to move him into Quantumtale with Destiny's help. He's been adopted into the AU. I make sure he's fine, but Savage gets in the way sometimes. He was apparently dragged out of his home AU and into the Alpha timeline through the rift. He just got here because he was able to sense Recon's position."
"Ok," Glass says as she moves back to cooking "Chronos, you ok with general tao's chicken?"
"What's that?" Chronos asked as he tilted his head.
"Chronos, it's a type of food," Recon tried to explain to his younger brother. "Ms. Glass, he would love to have some. He still needs to get back into the habit of eating."
Glass nodes before getting out more chicken and preparing it along with the rest as she prepared the batter to put on the chicken and fry it in.
"Wait. I think I know what exactly the rift is doing. If Chronos was able to access the alpha timeline so easily then perhaps the rift is creating a bridge between their worlds and ours." Acer spoke up suddenly. she hadn't touched much of the chicken and instead took out some strange supplements and swallowed them. This was because she has a strange condition that means her soul puts off too much magic, the soul supplements damper the magic so that it doesn't destroy her soul.
"Does it target specific AUs, Multiverses, or Creations?" Recon asked. "So far there's the Error up stairs and Chronos who is also an Error but from two different Multiverses. Do you think the rift is targeting Errors? Or is there more to this?
"Sweets, do you remember anything before you got here?" Defcon asked.
Chronos nods. "There was a voice. It said 'What a disgrace!' It kind of hurt, but at least I'm use to it thanks to the voices."
Glass frowns as she finishes handing out bowls or general tao's chicken before saying "that would make sence, but if so why haven't more creations been pulled through?"
Recon sighs. "All of these are just possible theories at this point. It's too early to be sure of anything. At this point we can speculate. After we eat we can see if Error is up. We can check him over and then see if he knows anything more. Does that sound like a plan?"
Glass nods at this as she goes to the fridge and get a bottle of chocolate out and a jug of milk which she then pores into a bowl and gives it to cherry as she feeds the bottle of chocolate milk to Mallory.
"If that is the case then Path might be in danger! My poor baby is already suffering from severe PTSD due to his past. Anything else might completely break him! He can't even kill a fly without bursting into tears and white flame terrifies him to no end! Plus I discovered that he is one of the forced Errors. he might crash for who knows how long if he hears that cursed voice again!" Acer started to fret. To her Path is like her youngest son even though he was abandoned by his original creator for being to soft.
"Also yes that is a good idea for a plan." Acer stops her pacing for a second and points at Recon before returning back to pacing
Glass eats her chicken as she holds the bottle for Mallory. Alpha just eat the good as he watches his brother.
"So. When do you think that our little anomaly will wake up?" Acer asks, she couldn't stop pacing
Glass frowns at this before counting on her finger for a bit and saying "somewhere in the range of a few minutes to an hour.
Recon sat quietly, had his food sitting on his lap while hand feeding Chronos so he doesn't end up eating the silverware. Defcon was eating her food while smiling at her creation being fed by the dismembered hands of Recon. Just as Recon finished feeding his younger brother, Reese came through a portal.
"Everyone has been warned!" Reese exclaimed in pride. "The new and younger Creators, Creations, and Annons have taken shelter while others are on high alert."
"Here, brother," Recon said as he hands his brother the food he was saving. "Eat up. You must be hungry from all that work."
"But what about you?" Reese asked.
"I'm not hungry," Recon replied. "Just eat up. You're going to need it soon. I have a feeling we might get more information on the rift."
"Oh! When did Chronos get here?" Reese asked.
"Not too long ago. The rift brought him, but we can discuss this later. Eat," Recon said. Reese nods and sits by his brother as he eats the wonderful food.
Glass then adds "let's hope that it isn't anything dangerous. While the guard in realy talented, it takes time to moblise even for Sanses and creators who can teleport. In addition most of the tower workers, like me, arn't realy good for direct combat, most of us are more defensive or movement delay oriented. If something happens, we are going to be at a huge disadvantage."
"Well it is a good thing that I'm in the guard then, we should be safe here anyway." Acer replies, she finally stopped her incessant pacing and had sat down when suddenly she got a mental call from Acrylic "hold on I need to take this." She said and stood up, walking calmly out of the room the lasts words the group heard being "what is it Acrylic? Today has been quite busy for me"
Glass shrugs before going back to eating her food.
A few minutes later Acer returned, pale as a ghost "Path... crashed..." she muttered in shock.
Glass blinks in confusion as she cleans up the bowls that were done being used.
"Is your creation okay?" Defcon asked. "Do you need to get them?"
"Maybe. I'll send a message to Acrylic to bring his brother and himself over here. Path likely won't be waking up anytime soon so he will have to guard him." Acer replies. Snapping out of it and typing something onto a tablet. she waited for a moment before she got a reply "Acrylic just responded. He's on his way here with Path and Faith.
Glass watches half cleaning the dishes, worried for the creation that is about to come in.
"Reese, go upstairs and watch over MelT and Error," Recon said. "Both of them could be waking up soon and I think if our brother woke up, he would be better to see a Papyrus than a Gaster or Sans." Reese nods and heads upstairs. Chronos sighs and lightly leans on Recon for a some comfort since he was a bit hesitant to see more counterparts of himself in bad shape. Chronos knows that seeing them will strike a nerve, but that's unavoidable.
Glass sighs as she watches all this thinking 'who knew this would turn from a normal shift into a medical emergency mixed with a mystery and a drama.'
A golden/white portal opened and out stepped three figures. Two of which were sanses while the other looked identical to Faith minus the wings. "We're here Acer. And Path still hasn't woken up." The skeleton holding the other skeleton said. He had a four point star for one eye light and a green splotch of pain on his left cheek. "Oh Acrylic, you arrived earlier than expected. Faith take Path upstairs. I need to talk to Acrylic." Acer said. The monster that looked like the creator nodded and took the black boned skeleton from Acrylics arms. The skeleton had two green tear tracks coming from each eye. He was unconscious. Faith took Path upstairs and disappeared from view
Glass stays out of the way after finishing washing dishes and goes to play with Mallory.
Chronos cuddles closer to Recon at the sight of Acrylic. He was on alert, but Recon's hand softly rubbed his skull to calm him. Defcon just watched everyone, but her mind was elsewhere.
Glass plays with Mallory.
"Acrylic. tell me EVERYTHING that happened." Acer says, turning her head to look at the creation "I- I'm not to sure myself. Faith, Path and I were playing in an empty Outer tale AU when he suddenly stopped moving, his eyes sockets wide and his eye lights tiny in fear. then he crashed and almost fell into the abyss, Faith had to grab him while I kept her from falling in as well. I called you straight after." Acrylic reported
Glass frowns having overhead while playing with Mallory before mumbling to herself "that's odd..."
Recon wondered to himself, 'If Faith and Acrylic hadn't stopped his fall, would Path have ended up in the Alpha timeline as well?'
" That particular Outertales void would've led Path here in the Alpha timeline. The portal opening above the table and him landing on it." Acer states to Acrylic "good thing you and Faith stopped him. He could have sustained serious injury."
"That's not a coincidence is it?" Recon asked. "Another Forced Destroyer was almost sent here. I'm just wondering what caused Path to crash."
Glass frowns before saying "if I had to guess it was possibly a way for whatever is doing this to make sure Path fell though, though it probably didn't account for there being others there besides Path." As cherry curles up next to her side watching the excited Mallory who is playing with a rattle Glass had pulled out of a box under the couch.
"Whoever's doing this thought it through regardless. Path has always been the smartest out of the three while Acrylic here is the most mature. This is an effective way of silencing him." Acer said. Acrylic then spoke up "Path looked wary before he crashed. And judging by his face before he crashed it was either our Fate or something imitating her."
Glass gains disgusted look before saying "I wouldn't be surprised if it was Fate doing this, she always seems to be causing trouble in some way or form. If I didn't know any better I would say she enjoys it, but I don't think even she cares enough about anyone but her son for her to actually care that she's causing trouble." She then frowns considering the other option before adding " I'm not sure if anyone could Imitate Fate to any degree that would make them think it was her, she's kind of hard to miss. But I suppose it's entirely possible for so I'm going to be close enough that unless you've dealt with the aftermath of Fate it would be hard to tell the real deal from a fake."
Just then, there was a loud thump that came from upstairs followed by shuffling around. Recon sighs and looks towards the creators. "Ms. Glass, Ms. Acer, I believe MelT is up and about and has woken up Error. I'm not sure about you, but I must watch over Chronos and Aunt Defcon. If you wish to leave some of your creations here so you can freely talk with my Error brother and not crowd him, I would be more than will to watch over them."
Glass turns to Alpha before saying while signing "stay here please with Cherry, Delphi, and Guard. And try not to cause another fight. We don't need to replace more furniture."
Chronos lightly chuckles as he tries to imagine one of the creations mentioned breaking furniture in a fight. Recon silently recalled earlier events and simply sighed as continued to glance over at a still dazed Defcon.
"I'll go up and check, Faith probably places Path near Error anyway and I need to reduce confusion with Error." Acer said and started up the stairs, swaying her tail to warn Faith and the others she was coming up.
Glass soon follows Acer up still carrying Mallory who is happily playing with their rattle.
"Is everybody alright up here?" Acer asks. Coming up to see Error panicking in a corner, Path on a cot, Faith looking at Error in curiosity and MelT doing... whatever they are doing
Reese was holding up MelT who was quickly waking up from her short rest. She saw Acer, Glass, and Mallory coming up a set of stairs. "Hey guys," MelT said sleepily. "I'm up now. Those two creations are new. I'm sorry about panicking earlier. I just didn't want Error in to much pain." MelT then looked over to Error in the corner and softly called from Reese's arms, "Sweetie, I'm sorry for startling you awake. I'm not the best person to wake up because I always fall out of bed. Can you ever forgive me?"
The Error remains panicking in the corner seemingly not hearing what was said. Glass looks Melt and Rees over to make sure that they are fine before turning to the Error debating on what to do.
MelT fell out of Reese's arms and landed face first on the floor, catching even Error's attention. Reese quickly nelt down to see if she was alright, but she lightly pushed him away. "I deserve this," MelT said sadly. "I scared Error. I deserve so much pain for that. He he, I can't do anything right." Reese wanted to help his creator, but knew his words wouldn't reach her.
Glass sighs putting her face in her free hand as Mallory looks at all the sad or panicked people in confusion, earning a whimper from the little one as Glass says "you do realize that you are probably making Error more nervous with your self destructive talk that I am pretty sure Fate would have said to him. It's not your fault he's scared. He is in a new place with new people he can't predict, how wound up would you be in that situation?"
MelT sighs. "You're right. I'm sorry." Reese sat beside her and cuddle close to MelT, calming her down. MelT unknowingly warmed the room up with her calming aura that radiated off her form.
Acers fur stood on end from the suddenly comforting aura before she shook her head and forced her fur to lie flat. "You didn't know MelT. It's ok. The one on the cot is Path while the other monster is Faith. They are two of my adopted creations. Path crashed and almost fell into this place. Faith and Acrylic saved him but he most likely won't awaken for quite some time." Then, Acer turned to Error and walked to him, trying to make herself as non threatening as possible she says "Are you alright. Don't worry whoever hurt you will never get you again. Not while we live."
Error remains in the corner seemingly made tense by the aura and still nervous about the unknown people.
"As I said before. I am Akystaracer22. Acer for short and you are in the alpha timeline. Every user comes here and it is a sanctuary for all. Even you. You may not know it but you play an important part in this world. And I promise you." Acer places a hand where her soul would be. "I promise you I will protect you from everything. Even if it costs me my life."
"A lot of us would." Glass adds watching the still nervous and tense Error in the corner, suspecting that the glitchy skeleton thought the groups first real awake interaction with them was a dream. "We are here for a purpose same as you, though in a separate way." Glass continued as she smiles at Mallory who had seemingly decided that he did not like the mood of the room and was seemingly trying to change it the only way he knew how, making people coo happily at him. Which he was effectively achieving from Glass by babbling cute nonsense.
"We try to help everyone as best as we can," MelT adds as she looked from Error to Reese. "Some of use try our hardest to heal others and make them happy." Reese smiles down at MelT and hugs her close.
"Some of us act as observers and Shields from danger." Glass says smiling as the few potted plants on the room perked up and started blooming as Glass held and played with Mallory.
"And others still, fight with pride and courage for everyone. Working in unison with one another as they protect those who cannot protect themselves and fight of true darkness to save those who are trapped." Acer adds, Acrylic and Faith standing either side of her. She looked almost regal, holding her head high and glancing at the others. Feeling the desire to protect them from whatever may come.
The Error looks at the three groups, relaxing somewhat as their words sink in.
"You are not alone any longer Error. There are many others who know what you have had to experience." Acer gestures to Path. "So you feel safe around us my friend. For... if you want... we can be your new family." She smiles fondly at Error and bends down to his level
Error blinks at the admission uncertain what to do, he wanted so bad to accept the offer, but after all the abuse, all the yelling, all the fear Fate gmhad bread in him. He was scared of it happening again.
"Take your time," Reese said softly. "You can accept or decline when you're ready. Here you have a choice. No one will force you to do anything you don't want to." MelT nods and cuddles with her creation, as she was proud of Reese.
Glass then says "and you can do anything you do want to do." As she bounces a giggling Mallory. Error frowns uncertain and decides that he needs to take some time and get to know these new people before making a decision. He didn't want to end up in the same position as before.
"They are correct. But I think the newer party should introduce themselves before we progress." Acer says, looking at the creations and at the stairs. "Should Chronos and the others come up as well?"
"Error, would you be willing to meet other creations that look like a Sans and Gaster counterpart?" MelT asked. "Or any other creations with other familiar and unfamiliar forms?"
Glass frowns before saying "some of them, not all let's try not to overweight the poor guy."
"Well then we can start off with those in the room then!" MelT said. "I'm MelT201, but just call me MelT. This here beside me is my adopted creation, Reese." Reese waved to Error with a bright and welcoming smile.
Error looks to them and nods.
Glass smiles before saying "Name's Glassplant, but most call me Glass." She then gestures to the baby in her arms, "and this is Mallory."
Error stared in awe at the baby bones. He wondered if he was similar to the baby in Glass's arms.
"My full name is Akystaracer22 but I go by Acer for short. The three you see here are my adopted creations. Acrylic" acrylic stepped forward and smiled "Faith." Faith bowed slightly at Error "- and Path who is currently out cold. He was met with an... unfortunate circumstance." She gestures to the black bones skeleton on the cot.
"Glass, Acer, and I were the ones who brought you here after we healed a good majority of your wounds," MelT said. "I'm sure you may remember something when you woke up the first time. I'm sure you remember me overreacting and my other adopted creation Recon."
Error nods to each of them politely as a greeting, since he really didn't want anyone touching him at the moment, as he got up from his position in the corner with a few creaks from his still healing bones.
"Now that he's awake, do we check if my brother was bugged?" Reese asked. This question caused Error to be confused as he was unaware that Reese and his siblings considered all Errors their siblings.
"Um..." Glass says, knowing that Error probably doesn't understand "maybe die back on the brother calling, he might not be comfortable with it."
"S-sorry," Reese said with a blush. "My true name really does describe me too well." MelT chuckles a bit at how reckless Reese was, but then turned to her creation. "What do you mean bugged? Did I miss something while I was unconscious?"
"You mean besides a rampaging angry Alpha, two people showing up through unknown opening to the Alpha time line, a meal in whitch exestencial and worrying questions were theorized about the tear in sky, and a burning pot of milk? Not much." Glass says as she bounces Mallory who had seemingly dropped the rattle and desided he wanted to suck on Glass's hair.
"Wait, who else showed up?" MelT asked.
"Chronos did!" Reese exclaimed. "I found out he came around after I got back from warning the Alpha timeline about the sudden coordination between the beast."
"So Defcon's creation is here ... wait where's Defcon!?" MelT asked in a panic.
"Downstairs," Reese replied nervously. "She's with Recon and Chronos, but she's... dazed. She might be dealing with Savage, seeing that our situation has become a bit complicated." MelT just sighs before looking at Glass. "Now what?"
Glass shrugs slightly before turning to Error and asking "would you mind if we did a quick search of your skull and soul posibly? We have a posibility we want to disprove."
Which seemingly makes Error nervous because searching will require touching, and he wasn't sure he could handle being touched right now.
"Do not fret my friend." Acer says, noticing Errors unease. "
The process will be painless and we would be using special material to prevent any proper contact. Path suffers from haphephobia as well so for checkups I use the same method so that he doesn't panic." She explains
Error calmed down after hearing that before taking a few minutes to deside he would be ok with being searched, before finally nodding to them a yes.
"Then we will begin this checkup soon. Whenever Glass and MelT give the signal I will examine you for any microchips or artificial objects that are not used for life support." Acer replies kindly. Keeping a warm smile on her muzzle she was already fond of the small skeleton, thinking that they and Path would be great friends
MelT and Reese get up to move next to Acer and nods. She wanted to see Acer's technique up close because MelT usually uses her power over water to check for anything out of place. However, with an Error, they would have to be unconscious or they would think she was going to try and drown them.
Glass stays back and watches from afar to keep the now curious Mallory out of the way.
The Error watches their movements nervous about this.
"Okay my friend. We are about to begin the procedure. Now I will allow my soul to be visible to you so that you can see I mean no harm." Acer brings out her soul and keeps it within reach of Error, the soul is veined with white and it is a yellow side ways heart. "Now. I will be simply scanning the inside of your skull and the bone marrow using magic. Don't worry, I swear on my soul that is within your reach that I will never hurt you." She explains. Already beginning the procedure when Error inhaled microscopic dust she had released in front of him while she was talking. The magic matched his own signature so he didn't react at all to the dust.
Error goes stiff as the magic washes over his and he eyes the soul on reflex as he clenched his fists.
"Now while I work, I feel like singing a song... you know, because it's fun." Acer says, and then she sings in a soft, passionate and calm voice ()
When she finished she smiled at Error, who was entranced by the song. "Okay I'm done checking you. The tablet will show me the results on your body test. See! Your body is fine!" Acer said, holding up the test to show Error he is perfectly fine.
"If you want to clench the soul now to get it out of your system please do. I have an insane pain tolerance." Acer says
Error looked at the tablet showing the information in curiosity.
"See! Only your soul is left and you can basically rip my soul apart for all I care because I can just glitch mine back together!" Acer says fondly
Error freezes as he hears the words "your soul" and tenses up a large amount.
Seeing Errors concern she says "Don't worry! It's just making sure that there is nothing bad attached to your soul! Besides you can use my own in case you feel and pain!" Acer nudged her soul carefully into Errors hands, making sure there is no physical contact "we can begin when you are ready my friend. We are in no hurry so you can take your time."
Error grips the soul pushed into hard extremely tense at the idea of his soul being out or anything like that.
"See? Now when you are ready we can begin, don't worry it will be quick." Acer reassures
Error spends the next two or three minutes gripping the soul tightly before calming down enough to cautiously take out his scared and almost cracked in half string bound soul.
"Forced destroyer." Acer murmured in awe. She reached to touch it but stopped herself. "No touching, I need to check your soul for bugs and rid it of Fate before I can marvel at it." With that she gets to work, taking pieces of her own special soul and substituting the pieces to replace the parts of Errors soul that were missing, slowly easing Fates hold off of Error, knowing the strings can work as a tracker if the Fate is smart enough.
Acer worked carefully and skilfully, never truly touching Errors soul using magic
Error watches cautious of what the other is doing to his soul still gripping on to the others soul.
MelT and Reese watch in awe. They watch as this process was so fascinating and advanced compared to the natural healing MelT and her creations can perform.
Acer manages to ease one of the strings completely off of the soul and burns it immediately, replacing it with a green string she asked Path for a few days before he crashed, since Path is a version of Error his soul didn't reject the magic. "Path's strings have some healing properties as well as a calming ability, like being in a mother's womb, I use these strings in a lot of my methods when working with other destroyers to ease them out of Fates reach." She explains to MelT and Reese as she works, moving onto another string.
"Fascinating," MelT whispers. She made a mental note to try and teach her creations and herself that later. Reese actually had hope. He couldn't use healing magic, but now with Acer's technique he could possibly help heal others.
Glass watches curiosity, but partially distracted by Mallory getting fussy.
Error shivers a bit as the old string was removed and replaced.
"Don't worry Error, it is going to be over soon and you will feel amazing trust me." Acer reassures as she removes and replaced another string, the beaten soul starting to look like a full soul now. "I'm almost done with the strings see." Indeed There we're only two strings left, she was working on one of them.
Error watches very tense almost crushing the soul in his hands.
Acer flinches the slightest bit at Errors grip but finished with Fates strings, happily burning the last string. "Done! See nothing to be afraid of there Error, just leave these strings on for at least a few days and then come to me when you want them removed." She explains as she puts the remaining green strings in a canister which she leaves to the side incase she needs more of them.
Error sighs once there is nothing being done to his soul any more and releases the soul that had been in his hands as his soul returns to it's proper place.
"So... how, do you feel Error?" Acer asks him
"B-e#tte&|r t°h√enΠ [I] h{a€ve ™f£el©t i-*n a l%o&n/g ti?m(e)." Error said as streches out fis stiff bones from being tence so long from someone being a bit to close for comfort.
MelT looked towards Acer and asked, "No bug right?"
"The strings were the bugs MelT. Fate can use them as a tracker." Acer tells her. She then turned to Error "Sorry for being so close, I just had to remove those ghastly strings." She explained
Error nodes in understanding, he had hated those strings for so long, and whole it was odd for them to be gone, he was happy they were.
Reese started to jump around MelT from pure glee. "Error feels better! Error is free!" Reese repeatedly chants. MelT chuckles lightly before capturing him in a hug. "Calm down, Reese. I'm just as glad as you, but now isn't the time or place celebrate.
"Now... onto more serious matters, are you hungry Error?" Acer asks
Error blinks in confusion at the question before asking "w&h/a!t d√o•e®s h[u^°n=ge<r h×aΠv]e t|o d£o w~i™t¶h a×n~y o[f] t¶h©i¢s? "
"Hunger is an important part of life and you need to eat. It's a basic necessity and food is a beautiful thing. Eat first, other stuff later." Acer says, treating him just like she did Path all those years ago.
"B&u¥t [I] d¢o¥n©'t n™e°e^d t÷o e\a:t." Error said as Glass sighs holding the very fussy and in need of a nap Mallory. Before finally deciding, the others can handle this the fussy baby needs a nap, as she heads up to the observation deck to calm the sleepy baby down and get him to sleep.
"Neither do I really, but we still eat because we can and if we eat regularly we can get stronger and we can protect the ones we care about." Acer explains, gesturing to the destroyer and herself and then indicating everybody else.
Error frowns at thus not so sure of the idea.
"Don't worry, you have less of a chance of dying while eating then for an odd-pocalyse to occur!" She said, "I will even eat with you if that makes you feel better." She adds, holding out her hand for Error.
Error got more confused after one of the words and asks "O*d"d-p/o:c|a6ly?+s<e?"
"Yeah! It's when everything goes all weird and nasty like somebody decided to prank the world to extinction." Acer explains, her hand still outstretched
"Uh ... are we planning on talking him down stairs?" MelT asked. "Reese, sweetheart, go warm the others just in case. Especially if Defcon is handling Savage, Recon needs to move her."
Glass comes back down to the med floor after putting Mallory down for a nap.
"So are we going to head down stair and eat or just starve up here doing nothing?" She asks
Glass rolled her eyes a bit before saying "I need to cook whatever we are having first."
"Yeah, that sounds good," MelT said. "I only know how to make chocolate based foods. Anything healthy is lost to me on me. Recon usually cooks for us." Reese nods in agreement.
Glass sighs as she heads downstairs mumbling about what they have in the cabinets and fridge so that she can decide what to make.
"Make sure to make something not entirely exotic and can easily be eaten without choking!" Acer called down after her
"I got it!" Glass yells back up.
"Shall we?" Acer asks and extends a hand to Error, smiling
Error shruged to indicate "sure, whatever." And backed away from the hand slightly. He did not want to be touched.
"You know your fear won't trigger when you initiate the contact, just a fun fact if your court powerless." Acer comments jokingly to Error. Knowing that if he knew then it would be the first step of easing him out of his fear. She walks downstairs making sure to keep Error nearby
MelT and Reese make it to the bottom of the stairs and see Recon tied up a black haired Defcon who was glaring at her captor. "Seriously?" MelT asked. "Why are you up Savage? Now isn't the time to be awake. We have a delicate situation here."
"It's not my fault Defcon wasn't sleeping," Savage said. "Defcon was supposed to be asleep already. We are trying to fix her sleep schedule. So I just knocked her out. Besides, I wanted to crush Chronos in a hug, but your creation here won't let me! I don't *flipping* care if we have a situation or not. I want to hug our child!"
Glass in cooking away a pot of some type of soup on the stove. A bowl of potatoes sitting at her side as she moves to grab something from a cabinet ignoring the energy filled Cherry running around her feet.
Acer finally came into view with Error. "... well this is awkward... why the *glitch* is defcon unconscious and why does Chronos look traumatised?" She gestured to a wide eyed Chronos.
Glass looks up from cooking to see the disaster that has somehow taken place in the short time she has been cooking.
Reese moved to hug Chronos close, while Recon and MelT sighs. "Defcon has a ... split personality you can say," MelT tries to explain. "Savage is, in a sense, Defcon's violent primal instincts. Savage holds nothing back and she tends to show affection strongly. Chronos has been crushed by Savage, as to why Chronos is like that. Defcon can't keep Savage under control and they tend to switch who's in control. It's why Defcon first left when we first arrived with Error. Defcon can't keep control when stressed or tired. This is why when Savage is in control, we restrain her. This ensures nothing goes wrong with my cousin."
"Isn't the disorder called DID or dissociative identity disorder? Also it's kinda like Oblivion and Faith one light and one dark." Acer put in
Glass signs as she just goes back to making loaded baked potato soup.
"It would have been dissociative identity disorder if it wasn't for the fact that Savage was an alternate version of Defcon," MelT said. "It's why Defcon tries to suppress Savage. They have yet to find common ground to live in harmony at this point. This is why Defcon stays close to me and my creations. To prevent anything drastic from happening like ... last time."
Recon then decides to move upstairs with Savage trying to free herself from his purple strings. "No!" Savage yelled. "Don't take me away from my creation!!! Don't take me from Chronos!!! He needs me!!!" Savage shouts as she was dragged away.
"Wait!" Acer suddenly blurts out before savage disappeared from view. "Let him stay... he needs his anchor. Trust me." She reasoned.
Acer then turned to Faith "Faith I need to to find Oblivion and bring her here. You know where she is." Faith nods and creates a portal, leaping into it and closing the portal behind her.
Finally she turns to everybody else. "Alright Glass tell me when you finish the soup. Everybody else. This is our new friend Error, nobody do anything rash and I have already helped him from Fates grasp." Acer explained
Glass gives a thumbs up not looking away from her cooking as she pulls out a Pan to cook some bacon to bake into the soup.
"Make sure the bacon is small enough to not choke on Glass." Acer called out to her
"I'm pretty sure Ms. Glass knows what she's doing," Recon said as he gently placed a more calmer Savage on the couch next to Chronos. "Ms. Glass is as experienced as you when it comes to knowledge of Errors, Ms. Acer. On a side note, I hope you know what you're doing when it comes to Savage. The reason why we separate them from Chronos is due to the fact they attack anyone they don't trust near their creation. I know that may seem harsh, but Savage nearly ended the life of a young Creator who didn't know how dangerous she is if they got too close to Chronos. Savage even ended a few of MelT's younger creations when he didn't know them."
Recon, Chronos, and Reese looked on towards MelT who just stared down at her hands. MelT has yet tell Defcon of her lost creations at Savage's hands. MelT knew it wasn't Defcon or Savage's fault, but her own. The three creations who knew about MelT's lost creations knew MelT has yet to properly grieve over her late creations.
"Savage is a acting just like oblivion did around me, Oblivion was obsessive over me as she is Faiths darkest half, she would kill, maim and even torture those who came near me who she didn't trust. I had to figure out a way for me to be able to talk to others around her. In case I was giving out orders, couldn't let her kill my whole squad again. So I worked with her and found out she used me as an anchor to herself, so I did something dangerous but long term useful. Saved my life more times than I can count. I gave her a small fraction of my soul. Turned it into a necklace she can wear." As if on cue another, darker portal and Faith came out with Oblivion.
"Do you still have it?" Acer asked to the new monster. "Never took it off." Oblivion replies, showing a golden necklace with an hourglass symbol, four point leading into it, it was softly glowing. "If my soul is in jeopardy, the necklace acts like a regrowth portal so I do not die unless my body is absolutely destroyed, spearing the soul, unless you absorb it, doesn't work as well. Sure it will hurt like all hell but it won't kill me." Acer explains. "Plus if you seriously want that option then I would put you asleep for it. Do not recommend it though. You struggle to properly feel for a few months and for those months you can have mood swings, and other things." Acer ads sheepishly "no kidding! I had to lock you up for the last month because you almost killed us!" Acrylic exclaims
Glass continues cooking adding chive and the now cooked and well cut up bacon before finally slicing the potatoes.
"I see the logic and technique behind your method, but have you ever done this with a Forced Destroyer creation?" Recon asked. "I can see it working if it's a Creator, but a creation is a bit more dangerous. Chronos can still be a bit unstable at times and has control over time and space. Are you sure this technique is wise to perform in this case? Especially since we're in a delicate situation right now?" MelT looked up from her hands and looked towards her creation. "Reconcile Unity Gaster, that's enough," MelT said causing Recon to freeze up in place. "If Acer believes this is the right thing to do, then let her. This has more benefits in the long run anyway. If Acer wishes to help us, that's fine. However, she needs to ask Chronos to make Savage an anchor of his soul."
"Actually it's not an anchor more so than a failsafe. It's not always the best decision but since I mostly work better with souls than other things, hence why a fair bit of my attacks are soul based, it does make the procedure easier for me. But the fact that savage would hold part of his soul wouldn't make savage his anchor, more it would make her his link. I have actually considered giving pieces of my soul to each of my creations but I'm not sure it would be such a good idea." Acer put in, looking sheepish on the last sentence, remembering how horrible she felt during those months.
Glass hums as she pulls the soup off the stove and starts ladling the baked potato soup into a set of bowls she pulled out.
Recon stayed silent, still a bit concerned about all this but was commanded to. MelT looked away from everyone, while Reese worriedly looked between his brother and creator. Chronos just tries to stay calm next to Savage who was glaring directly at MelT and Recon. "MelT," Reese called. "Could you ... allow my brother to speak? That was uncalled for." MelT didn't look towards anyone as she walked away. "Reconcile Unity Gaster, you may do as you please once I leave. I'm going to ... chat with your other siblings in the meantime and ... v-visit m-my b-brother." With that MelT ran out the room and into a portal.
Glass blinked in confusion as she looked back over, now with a tray covered in bowls of soup.
"Good riddance to that freak!" Savage growls. "She should be no where near my creation or even her own!"
Chronos gasped. "How can you say that! I understand why you wouldn't want her near me, but Aunt MelT deserves to be near her creations."
"No," Savage hissed lowly. "You haven't seen it my creation, but that freak should be near her supposed creations. That freak has a horrible command code in all of them. That freak you call MelT is no better than the Fat-"
"Enough!" Reese shouts which surprised everyone. Reese has never sounded so serious before now. "I will not stand here and listen to you slander my creator. Those code words you're talking about are our True names given to us by Fate. MelT has never abused that power, ever! The only reason she used it now was due to Recon getting too carried away with his caution. None of MelT's late creations had code words to command them. They never got the chance to live because of you."
Recon moved to hug his Papyrus brother who started to cry. "Reese, it's fine. We know our creator's truth. That's all that matters remember? MelT told us that no matter what people say, so long as we know the truth, their words don't matter." Reese nods, but snuggles into his brother's side. "We will be upstairs for a bit. You may eat without us. We will join once we ... sort this out. Chronos, try to feed Savage please? They won't accept food from anyone other than you and I'm not willing to untie him." Once he receives a nod from Chronos, Recon guides Reese upstairs.
"So savage." Oblivion says, watching Acer guide Error to the table and get him to sit. "How far are you willing to go for Chronos? I know I would be willing to die for Acer but what about you? What would YOU do?" She asks Savage, her face incredibly serious.
Glass blinks in confusion before saying as she sets the bowls of soup on the table "you know Savage, you remind me of Alpha when he's in over protective brother mode. Not good, not bad, but going farther then you need to. Don't be stupid and suspect you know everything. About yourself, others, or or even your creator." She then looks Savage strait in the eye as she says "some of the creators out their see thing even I don't think I would be able to like with, and most have to struggle with helping in the only ways they can."
She then asks "would you hurt those you care for if it could help them?"
Savage looked between both Creator and Creation thinking hard on what they said before speaking. "I don't have anyone except Defcon and Chronos to look after. I would side with Fate if it means they're safe. If I die, then I fail my mission to protect Defcon as she and I share this form. I understand where you're coming from Glass, but I can't help it. I guess in a past life of my of mine, I lost trust of those who were near those I cared for. I can't allow my guard to drop knowing there's even a slightest chance those around Defcon and Chronos could hurt them."
Glass snorts as she says "you realy think I can hurt people?" She then makes a swirly motion and vines grow on the dealing blooming to have growing white flowers "I can't do much magic, for example a bit of healing and form transformation. What I can do is make my favorite floral creation grow, a flower that can put people to sleep when they breath in the pollon, that is it. I can't weild weapons like the guard, I can't do major healing like a medic, that is why I work in a tower. I make a great lookout and shield. I help people the only way I can."
"Look, I understand that. I wish I wasn't the way I am now. I can't help but be paranoid as I am," Savage growlers out. "However, MelT is a danger and no one can tell me otherwise. That freak needs to stay away from Defcon and Chronos! I told her so many time and ended any of her creations that came near us! She still hasn't taken the hint that I don't want her near those who are mine!"
"Maybe because she it trying to send you backup! Did you think of that!?"glass yells as the number of flowers and vines grows in number "Did you even ask if those creations were hers and not just ones that she asked to check on you two?! Do you even bother to listen to them scream for mercy!?!"
Savage chuckled darkly. "Mercy? ... hehehe, I wish that was a Concept I could feel," Savage said emotionlessly. "MelT was the one who named me Savage, but she forgot to explain what I really am. She told you that I'm Defcon's alternate version, but she forgot to say that I take the place of Flowey. I'm soulless and was saved thank to Defcon. I hear screams every second of my existence since I merged with Defcon and I must say, it's hard to tell screams of Mercy apart from screams of Justice. So let me make this clear. Soulless beings like me don't care for the consequences or the damage our actions cause. I only care for Defcon and Chronos. They matter, not anyone else."
Chronos couldn't be near Savage any longer. He jumped off the couch to run over and hug Glass. He never thought he would fear his Creator, but her he was hugging another Creator as he was afraid of getting hurt by Savage.
This comment may be offensive.
Glass then says with a growl that could be mistaken for Alpha's as the flowers start shaking at her rage and the vines start to cover every inch of the cealing as she asks "and what if you are the threat to them? What if all the deaths you have caused angered the wrong creator who would think the only way to save the Alpha timeline from your rage is to kill you? There are a lot of creators in the guard who would be behing it, could you kill off billions of imortal beings before they could take your head and subsequently Defcon's because you are one in the same? You need to stop jut being savage and think like the Flowey you say you are! A Flowey would have thought about the consequences and weighed them to see how bad this could be. After all they fave lives lifetime free from death. You've got one life. Like in a genocide Run. Think through carefully how much trouble you might cause if you p*** off the wrong person."
Before Savage could dig themselves a deeper hole, a portal opened up to reveal MelT with her twin Sans creations. MelT surveys the room before looking at Savage and sighs. "Let me guess, your choice of words are upsetting everyone again?" MelT asked with a tied expression. "Get away from me you damn freak!!!" Savage screeches.
" ... Influx, knock Savage out. They've done enough damage," MelT said. The Sans with hints of blue on his white outfit held out his hand and quickly drained enough energy to knock Savage out. MelT sighs before looking towards Acer. "This is why we separate Savage from Chronos. The longer Chronos is near, the more illogical Savage becomes. Now Chronos won't be able to be close to Defcon because of he fears Savage."
"Aunt MelT!!!" Chronos cried as he released Glass to latch onto MelT. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry."
"For what Chronos?" MelT asked. "You did nothing wrong. This isn't your fault, okay. Where are Recon and Reese?"
"Here," Recon said as he and Reese came down the stairs. "I had to calm down Reese, but seeing the looks on everyone in the room tells me I should've stayed."
MelT sighs. "How about we sit down and eat? Glass made some great smelling soup and I want to make sure all of you eat. Especially you, Recon! I swear, you're just like all your Forced Destroyer brothers. I know you can survive without needing to eat, but it helps healing and strength! Now let's eat. Chronos, I'll feed you so Recon can eat." MelT guides Reese, Recon, and Chronos to the table to eat soup. Influx and his brother Impulse quietly take a seat a bit away from the unconscious body of Defcon as the black hair turned back to its original white color with its blue and red streaks.
Glass steps away to calm down staring at the window as the vones and flowers overhead slowy either away without a trace.
"Glass," MelT called as she fed Chronos. "I'm sorry if Savage upset you. I should've moved them as soon as I found out they were conscious."
"Man I didn't even participate in that." Oblivion commented, noting how Savage was unconscious, fixing it so that Savage was more comfortable, she knew what the other was experiencing and never told anybody how they fixed that issue. "It's a psychological dependency that's holding Savage back. I have seen alternate versions of Faith lose their soul as well and Savage is behaving just like those versions. Kinda like a yandere without a love. The longer they stay near them the more unstable they become, you need to ease them out of it first." Acer says to them, showing Error how to consume the soup
"No, it's fine." Glass says as she seairs out the window. "I think savage needs I good beating through to remind them that aren't all powerful. That they have done, even under the circumstances is inexcusable. What they have done would have put a bigger target on their back instead of turning people away. They would have lead to the deaths of those they care for." She grips the windowsill hard as flowers appear in the walls around her and vines with flowers seem to grow out of her hair.
"I couldn't bring myself to hurt Savage, even after all the things they've done to me and my dead creations," MelT said sadly. "If I did, I would have been hurting my cousin Defcon."
"As for easing Savage and Chronos apart," Recon says to Oblivion. "I would work if it weren't for the fact Savage isn't always conscious and in control. Chronos spends a great deal of time around Defcon and in turn Savage. Our progress with Savage is lost when Defcon is up. That's why we separate the two immediately to prevent Savage from digging their grave."
Glass keeps staring out the window, before saying "then maybe we need to try a mental beating." As the flowers and vines fade away again.
"NO!" Acer suddenly yelps "That is the LAST thing they need. Savage needs to learn trust, to trust somebody and sure they need to be knocked down a peg or two but torture won't help!" She explains hurriedly
"I'm just so tired off Savage," MelT said as she slouched in her seat. "10 years since we've been dealing with Savage. I'm very passionate, but I'm losing hope that Savage could be straightened out. It worries me when they're alone with Chronos." Recon, Reese, Influx, and Impulse remember all the times MelT tried to help Savage even when she was hurt by them.
"I don't mean tourture I mean literaly a mental beating! I know one or two creators that can enter the minds of others or send others in for a time. I mean we should literaly go into Savages mind and give them a beating to remind them that they aren't all powerful, and their desisions could lead to the deaths of those they want to protect if they don't think what they are about to do through." Glass says brisling slightly at the tourture accusation as a few flowers pop up around her as she holds herself.
"You do realise that's basically playing bill cipher on them. Plus they ARE all powerful in their mind. If you really want to knock Savage down a few pegs then you could use the mind tactic still. Place them in YOUR mind, that way YOU have control, not them. I know a guy that would be willing to do it but you need to be certain that you are willing to take the risk." Acer explains the situation as best she could. Her fur standing on end in anticipation.
Glass shrugs "I don't know. I just know we can't let them keep going on this way. That are going to be the reason they lose those they care for if they don't remember that they aren't the only ones who are affected by their actions."still looking out the window watching the cloads cloat by as the sun sets in the Alpha time line.
"Another day done." Acrylic suddenly says "Another war won." Faith speaks up for the first time this entire experience "... Tomorrow the new light has begun." They finish off dejectedly. Acer looks at them with pity in their eyes. "It's a sibling thing. Path was meant to say the last part but he... can't." She explains to Glass. "If Savage can discover a way to turn this weakness into a strength then he could be excused... but he is too prideful to admit his wrongdoings." Acer told the creator she was talking to.
Glass nods still staring out the window, much tenser then she normally is.
MelT looks down at Chronos once she's done feeding him. "Chronos, do you think you can be by your Creator's side when she wakes up?" MelT asked. "I know you may fear Savage, but you would hurt Defcon if you kept your distance. Can you be by her side despite your fear of Savage?"
Chronos thought about it before lightly nodding. "I ... I can do that," Chronos replies. "I still love my Creator more than I fear Savage. I'm just don't know when Savage is awake or not."
The Sans wearing white with hints of yellow on the couch perked up at that. "Well, the only way to tell when Savage is conscious is Defcon's hair," Impulse said. "If you didn't notice it before, Savage has black hair. Right now Defcon is in control because of her natural white hair."
"With that knowledge," Recon said to Chronos. "Will be able to be by Defcon's side?"
"Yes," Chronos said confidently. "I love my Creator too much to stay away from here. Even if I'm afraid of Savage, my love for Defcon is stronger!" MelT and her creations all smile fondly at Chronos knowing how much he cares for Defcon.
Glass keeps staring out the window at the sky gets darker and the flowers around her embeded in the stone walls start glowing slightly in the weak shadows of the room.
Alphga lies on a chase loung on the other side of the room fast asleep his brother, Cherry, fast asleep laying on his brothers chest.
"Hey." Acer sits down beside Glass while Error is distracted by her creations talking to him. "Don't let all of this get you down, we can still win and fix this." Acer tried to reassure Glass that it will be OK.
Glass then replies "I know... I just can't beleive how stupid Savage is." She then looks at the tear in the sky, still visable even in the dark night "or help worrying that something major is going to happen, and soon... "
"Don't focus on the what if, focus on the now. And besides-" Acer turned to look at everyone "We'll face this together. All of us."
Glass nods not taking ferry eyes off the sky as flowers around her continue to glow brighter as the night goes on.
MelT, Chronos, and her creations nod in agreement with Acer. With their friends and family, they would be ready for whatever is to come.
Acer suddenly stands up and leaps onto the table "Everyone, I want to say something important." She announces. Her gaze serious.
Glad looks over briefly before noding a go ahead as she goes back to staring out the window.
"We all have different positions in this world. Some of us are destined to defend others, to be their shield, to work in Patience and Perseverance. Others are born to fight, to protect those that need to be protected from powers beyond that they can handle, to lead in honour of Bravery and of Justice. And more still were brought into this world to heal and act as the border between life... and death. To serve for Kindness and Integrity. But one thing unites them together, their Determination, their will to LIVE." Acer begins. Looking upon everybody, a fire blazing in her eyes, her creations stand up a little bit taller at her words.
"When I look around this room tonight. I do not see a group of misfits in an unfortunate situation. No, I see people, family and friends that are capable of doing amazing things side by side with one another. Beings capable of beating the odds, no matter how impossible it may seem. The future may be uncertain, it may seem dark. It may seem like all is lost. It may even seem like we will all die." Acer continues. Holding her fire and looking confidently at her audience, feeling their own confidence start to swell, even Error
"But we will prevail no matter what, because as long as we have each other. The darkness can never quench the light! We are not simple creators and creations thrown into this. We are heroes brought together to survive, the night may last for a certain time... but the new day always comes. And with it, we will rise together and live on! I know it may seem bleak now but it will not stay this way, we are the light and we will succeed in stopping whatever may threaten us. It doesn't matter if it is us against the world! We can and we will win this!!!" She cries out. Pumping her fist in the air. Acer's crystals glowing with light and pent up magic.
MelT smiled fondly as Influx, Impulse, Reese, and Chronos cheered. Recon nods with a smirk on his face. She knew it would be fine, even if she had difficulty moving forward. With everyone by her side, MelT knew they would help her.
Acer smiled from the table, looking at all the people She now cares for
