~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After Ink and Error rouped some of them and they each did something to contribute on finding the original Universe. Some searched in different areas, Some did experiments on stuff in hopes of figuring something out, Some stronger ones inspected the codes for clues.

______________________________________
The ones searching in different areas had covered a ton of ground already as there were a lot of them searching.

_
With Dust and Killer

"Sigh another A.U. checked but there is still no clues at all" Dust said while groaning as he wants to go back to sleep.

"Well, we should keep looking" Killer said

__
With Horror and Nightmare

"Hey boss, I want some food" Horror said

"You just ate 30 minutes ago" Nightmare said

"But I'm hungryyy" Horror answered

"No buts, lets go hunt for clues now" Nightmare said

"But-" Horror said

"What did I just say" Nightmare face-palmed

_
With Stretch and Shift

"Sansss! where are you?" Shift screamed

"You dumbass Shift! You shouldn't scream or else we'll get weird stares" Stretch said

"I waaant the bad time triooo baaack" Shift said in a complaining manner.

Sadly the ones whom were searching in different A.U.'s were pretty much unable to find anything as the disappearance of the Original Universe has left no clues for them to follow, not even a single one and they just wandered far and wide with nothing to see, just disappointment and a dead end to what they thought was a clue.

______________________________________
The ones doing experiments on stuff, had gotten a hold on stuff and tested on things for clues, then Sci here had an idea.

_
With Sci and Outer

They were at Sci's laboratory checking on stuff most leading to nothing. Until Sci got an interesting idea which was to check out the void. He had special machinery for that exact purpose, he didn't know why he would he need these these but he made them just in case happens and now is the time he will to be able to finally use it.

"Hey Outer how about let's take a look at the void" Sci said

"Sure, but how will you check it?"

"I have some machineries that pretty much exists for that purpose but I never actually used it" Sci said

"Ohhhh" Outer said

"Follow me, I'll find it and fix some broken parts cause I believe there is some because It's just had been sitting there for a long time" Sci said while running off in a different area of the laboratory

"Oka- oh he already left" Outer said while running to the direction Sci had run into

Sci arrived at the area where he remembered he stored it,and would ya know it is in fact there. There were visible parts missing so he hastily repaired it, Outer basically became Sci's assistant and was helping at handing stuff to Sci who was repairing the Machine.

When they finished they ran some tests before finally starting it. The two checked the coordinates where U.T!Gaster is supposed to be located but unfortunately they realized that the prescribed location was too far for the machine to be able to see, but in the bright side they learned that it was still there and was functioning properly.

"I think this is a lead, the void where undertale gaster is located is still pretty much stable so I think U.T! Gaster is fine." Sci said

"Well that is great news" Outer said

"I believe Color can go to the void, so how about let's send him a message just so he can check to make sure U.T!Gaster is there." Sci said

"You know what that's a good idea" Outer said

"Oh, wait I forgot Color doesn't own a phone" Sci said in a sad tone

"Well isn't Color with Abyss? How about let's call Abyss instead." Outer said

"Sure that's a pretty good idea," Sci said

Then they proceeded to call Abyss through Outer's phone.

With Abyss and Color

Abyss's phone started ringing checking who is it he saw that Outer was the one calling.

"Hmm? Hello why'd you call Outer?" Abyss asked them

"Well we learned that the Void where Undertale Gaster is is pretty much stable so maybe-"

Abyss quickly cuts Outer off and said. "Ok I get it, you want me and Color to come over to make sure U.T! Gaster is still there."

"Yeah that's right," Sci said being heard in the background

"Color can you come here for a moment, Sci wants you to inspect the void in which U.T Gaster supposed to be at" Abyss said

"Sci what's the coordinates?" Color said

"The coordinates are ----------, ----------" Sci said

"Thanks" Color said. Color then opened a portal to which he stepped inside of.

Arriving at the coordinates Sci gave, Color was able to confirm that U.T Gaster is indeed still there but it's strange that the rest of the Original Universe disappeared without a single trace left behind.

U.T! Gaster noticed color and looked at him and then said

"☜︎︎︎☟︎✌︎✍︎☕︎☞︎︎︎☹︎☝︎✌︎ ☂︎☞︎︎︎☕︎ ✌︎ ☕︎✌︎☔︎ ☞︎︎︎☕︎☝︎
✍︎☺︎︎☝︎ ☟︎︎☜︎︎︎☹︎ ☺︎☜︎︎︎☟︎︎︎✍︎?"(ⁱ ˢᵖᵃᵐᵐᵉᵈ ʳᵃⁿᵈᵒᵐ ˢʰⁱᵗ ᵒᵏᵃʸ? ⁿᵒᵗʰⁱⁿᵍ ʰᵉʳᵉ ⁱˢ ᵗʰᵉ ᵃᶜᵗᵘᵃˡ ˡᵃⁿᵍᵘᵃᵍᵉ)

(Translation: Greetings, may I ask why are you here?)

'"Oh were here to check if your okay, cause the original universe disappeared without a single trace. We just wanted to see if your here" Color replied

☜︎︎︎☞︎︎︎☕︎☔︎☟︎︎︎☜︎︎︎☹︎☝︎✍︎☜︎︎✌︎☺︎︎☟︎︎︎☝︎✍︎☝︎✍︎☝︎☜︎︎︎☟︎︎︎☂︎✍︎☹︎☝︎☟︎︎︎☔︎☜︎︎︎☺︎︎☕︎☝︎✍︎ ✍︎☝︎☂︎☜︎︎︎✍︎☹︎☕︎✌︎✍︎☞︎︎︎?

(Translation: Wait, so that's why I cant find the others. May I ask why did that happen?)

"We actually are trying to find out the reason why" Color said while sighing. "Well I got to go now I'll tell the others that you are fine" Color said

☟︎︎︎☜︎︎︎☂︎☜︎☕︎☜︎︎︎☹︎✍︎☔︎✍︎☜︎︎︎☜︎︎︎☺︎︎✌︎☝︎☂︎☕︎

(Translation: This is goodbye then)

"Well bye" Color said, while making a portal to Abyss to inform them. He jumped inside the portal he had created and said" U.T!Gaster is indeed still there"

"Well that's great" Outer said through the phone.

"Then did you ask him what happened to the Original Universe?" Abyss questioned him

"Well, it looks like that U.T!Gaster didn't know anything about it moreover he seemed shocked" Color said

Sci sighed and said "Looks like this is another dead end"

"Yeah, but at least we know that U.T!Gaster is still there" Outer said trying to cheer Sci up.

"I guess it can't be helped" Abyss said

"Yeah bye for now I guess I'll end tgis call now" Sci said

"Okay bye" Abyss said

"Bye" Color said With that the call ended

Another dead end was reached by the ones whom used experiments in their desperate search for answers.
____________________________________
The ones checking by codes has an situation that was pretty inexplicable.

_
With Error 404

"Wait I saved some of the Original's codes right?" he questioned himself. Checking it out he indeed had some codes of the original. He then rushed to get it only to realize that it had been slowly disappearing. Quickly calling Four other deities. Three of them showed up which was Error, Ink, and Bill

" ሠh̸卂ᴛ?" Error said
(Translation: What?)

"Quick help me on this" E. 404 said

Any single codes left by the Original Universe is slowly dissappearing one by one luckily Ink was near 404 to hold up the codes of the Original which 404 had saved a long time ago. Bill and Error also helped in the play.

Bill then backed up and took pictures of the codes.

"山h͟y̶ ꓄h̶e̺͆ f̸ ሁc̸ꀘ A̺͆r̶E͎ ሃዕu̸ ፕᗩᴋᴉn͟g̶
የꀤC̥ͦt̾ㄩr͟ꏂs͎¿" Error questioned
(Translation: Why the fuck are you taking pictures?)

"To have some records duh" Bill answered

Error then rolled his eyes and focused on saving the codes. He knows he isn't helping much as he is bad at this kinds of stuff as he literally destroys codes for a living not save them.

They actually are just able to slow down the codes disappearing. Ink summoned a case and then decided to place the codes in a seal so that the disappearing rate is slower and they will not have to keep using thier magic to save it.

"I think that will do" Ink said

"Well let's inspect the codes before they disappear" E. 404 said

"Sure" Bill said

Thy checked and checked but still no clues about the Original Universe's disappearance as all they see is normal codes. They too had struck a dead end just like the others..
______________________________________

All of their searches ended up in avail. Sure some of them got important news but the actual reason for the search ended up with nothing... Just nothing but disappointment. All what they thought was a lead was actually just a dead end. Despite this fact this actually doesn't do much to make them give up, cause in reality it just made them the exact opposite, they were now even more determined for clues as there was none making this hunt even more thrilling to them...
