Aiding Dream
This stunned Abyss, as he spoke out.
"What? You have another Sans, who is a brother to you?"
Dream nodded his head, as he than spoke out.
"Of course I am. We are both created to be polar opposite to each other. My brother, Nightmare, while he was once a kind and innocent soul, he represented the Negative Side of mortals, representing the despair and hatred of mortal beings, even though it is not in his kind nature. As for me, I represent the positivity within other. I represent their hope and their love. And I had been the reason that my brother is stopped at multiple times."
Dream than looked down, and he looks like he is guilty, as he than spoke out.
"And unfortunately, I am also responsible, for what my brother had become, because I was not there to stop it."
This made Abyss confused, as he spoke out.
"What do you mean?"
Dream sighed, as he than spoke out.
"My...brother. He...he was not...always like this. As I had said before, my brother, he was once one kid. And pure-hearted soul, but there was one thing that made my brother the way that he is. In my Universe, we had a village, and we guarded a tree known as the Tree of Feelings. For the villagers, I had been adored and...loved by them, but too my brother, he had been hated. People have abused him and mocked him, even though he had done nothing wrong."
This made Abyss shocked, as he spoke out.
"It sounds like, they were taking advantage over your kindness."
Dream nodded his head, and spoke out.
"They did. They were taking advantage over my kindness, and it is because of that they always hurt Nightmare. I have told them time upon time to please stop hurting him, but they did not listen. They kept on hurting him, even though he had done nothing wrong, and thus, even when I said stop, they chose to continue their torment to him. But than...one day, made everything changed, and it is what lead the Nightmare being...well, what you had seen him become."
This made Nightmare concerned, as he spoke out.
"What...happened?"
Dream sighed, before he than spoke out.
"My brother...he had tried and attempted to show the village that he can become a Guardian of Positivity too, and thus, he tried to take care of one of the apples of the Tree of Feelings. You see, the Tree of Feelings, it has 2 types of apples. One that is made to hold the positive feelings, and one that is used for the negative. But the thing is, Guardians are not supposed to touch an apple that is an opposite to their nature. And so, when my brother touched a Golden Apples, it began the process of turning all of the rest of the apples into black apples, except for one. The Villagers used this as an excuse to kill my brother, and I tried to stop them. But the villagers did not listen, nor did they care, as they wanted my brother dead. He my brother, tempted by the negativity apples, decided to eat them, and he continued to ate the Black Apples, 999 of them, just to defend himself. But when he ate all of them, his body had been broken, and black ooze took over him. And when the villagers seen what Nightmare had become, he took advantage of their shock, and killed them, as revenge for all that they had done to him, and those he did not kill, he corrupted them, and during the middle of the scuffle, I ate the last Golden Apple, in order to keep it safe from Nightmare's corruption, and I tried to fight him, but he was too strong, and I was frozen in stone, for 500 years."
This made Abyss stunned, as he cannot believe this, but at the same time, he felt like he understood Nightmare in a way. After all, he had been in that position, but not as long as Nightmare. If he had been in that position for that long, than it would have what made Abyss to become the way he is. Abyss than looked down for a little bit, before he than looked at Dream, before he than spoke out.
"You said that you wanted to help me, right? Well, what do you get in return for helping me? And more importantly, why are you telling me this?"
Dream than looks at Abyss, as he than spoke out.
"Because I need your help."
This made Abyss confused, as he than spoke out.
"What...what do you need my help in?"
Dream than looks down at the ground, and looks as if he is choosing his words carefully, before he then looked up and spoke out to Abyss.
"I...I once told you, back in the past, that Nightmare had corrupted all of the Golden Apples. Well, a friend of mine discovered that there are still some Golden Apples, about 998 of them, still in that AU, and they have not been touched as of yet."
This stunned Abyss, as he spoke out.
"What? How?"
Dream than spoke out to Abyss.
"Even I have no idea. But he believes that the reason as to why it is the case is because one of the villagers stole more than 300 apples in the past, every time and every single year when the Golden Apples regrew and ripen, and believed that they were going to sell them if they had enough. But because of the fact that Nightmare attacked, it never happened. But he cannot reveal to me where it is, because even he has no idea where it is. Which is why, I need your help. You have the power to sense magic. And I can even tell you can sense the magic of the Golden Apple within me. Because of this, I need your help in trying to locate them so I can stop Nightmare. He could use the misery of this AU to try and strengthen himself even more than he had in the past. So please, I ask you to aid me in this last. Weill you help me, Abyss?"
Abyss looked down, as he began to think of what to say, before a hand touches his shoulder. He turned and sees Ganyu, as he than spoke out.
"I think we should come and help out Dream, Sans. Of what Dream is saying is true, than we should aid him in this task."
Abyss was stunned, but he than looked down and thought of this for a bit, before he than spoke out.
"Okay. When do we start leaving?"
Dream smiled in a very relieved way, as he than spoke out.
"I am glad you agree to help me. We start actually moving, whenever you are. You can take your time a much as you want."
Abyss than looked around, as he then spoke out.
"Actually, I want to take the time to tell everyone and let know that I am gonna be gone. Just hope that nothing bad happens while I am away, especially with how long I am gone. After all, time is very different in the AUS."
But Dream smiled, as he than spoke out to Abyss.
"Oh, you don't need to worry about that, Abyss."
This made Abyss confused, as he than spoke out.
"Why not?"
Dream smiled, as he than spoke out.
"While it is true that time is differ depending on the AUs, Dreamtale is different. In Dreamtale, time will work slowly. While it would be something as a few hours in Dreamtale, in Abysstale, it is as though you are gone for a few minutes. So you will be back on time, no matter how long it is in Dreamtale."
This surprised Abyss, but he than sighed, as he felt a sense of relief enter his body.
"Than god. I was worried that I might be gone for, day, as long as 5 years. That way, I would not know what to do. Alright than, let's go, after I tell my friends where I am going. I don't want them to think that I had suddenly disappeared out of nowhere. You guys wait here, and please don't suddenly move somewhere else, okay?"
Dream nodded, as well as Ganyu, as Dream spoke out.
"Don't worry. We'll stay put, and wait until you come back."
Abyss nodded, as he than began to teleport to everyone he knows of, as he reveals where he is going to. But some of them decided to come with him, such as Yumi, Kunou, and Atla. Of course, Abyss tries to get them to reconsider, claiming that they had just began to recover from the ordeal, in the case of Atla and Kunou, and they fact that they are still trying to reconnect with friends, for Yumi, but all 3 of them are persistent, and Abyss simply just gave up. So he allows them to come along with him. After all, he did so much to help them, with Atla and Kunou said, and the fact that he still had come catching up to do, in the case of Yumi, so he cannot really argue with the both of them, due to wanting to come along with Abyss himself.
When Abyss came back, Ganyu was pleasantly surprised to see that Abyss has decided to bring a few people. But she does not question it, due to the fact that Abyss feels uncomfortable about that sort of fact. But Dream, however, seems to need this, as he than spoke out.
"Bringing more people, well, it is better to have more people at our side, especially when we need more power behind when we must attack."
This made Abyss confused, but he than remembered that Dream said that Nightmare used his power to corrupt the denizens of Dreamtale. So it is possible that they will need to fight them. Abyss nodded his head, as he steps forward, and he than spoke out to the others behind him.
"So...is everyone ready to go with us?"
Everyone nodded, as Ganyu took out her bow, Yumi took out her fans, with Kunou and Atla simply ready to fight. Dream smiled.
"Than it is settled. Please, follow me."
Dream than summoned a portal to Dreamtale. While normally, Dream cannot enter any place with negativity, as this was originally his former home, that place is an exception to the rule, as he can enter to Dreamtale and back. Abyss looked at his friends and nodded his head, as they all than went into the portal in order to see what is up. Atla and Kunou were the last ones that have not went inside of the portal yet, but taking a moment to harden their resolves, they went inside the portal and join in with the others entering.
When they entered into the other side, they can tell that this is going to be one heck of a frightening experience for all of them to see. Surrounding the group, the trees look like they have died and rotted a very long time again. The sky above them look a bloody red, as if someone used their blood to pain the sky in it. The grass also looks like they are dead, due to the fact that they are very black. Abyss looked around, as Dream sighed. This is where his power will be, in a way, at his weakest, as he than spoke out to the group, softly.
"It has been a very long time since I had entered this place. Nightmare's very presence has corrupted this one beautiful home of mine. Be careful, do not be seen."
Everyone than began to follow Dream, as everyone began to look around the place that they are in.
Ganyu and Yumi, however, they looked very nervous at what they are seeing, as they have seen how bad it is. It is just as bad as what happened to Celltale, except for the fact that, the people brought this upon themselves because of the fact that they had continued to discriminate Nightmare, even though he had done nothing wrong. And now, now they had paid the price for it.
As they walked around, Dream beckons them to hide, and they saw something. It resembles a person, but it is covered in black sludge, like Nightmare. Seems like this is one of the Negative Infected.
"What...what is that?"
Yumi whispered, as Dream spoke out.
"One of the many denizens that Nightmare had corrupted. Here. I'll take this."
Dream Sans than summoned a bow in his hand, and fired a Positivity Arrow at one of the negative zombies, which made them go down to the ground and have then lay down, as Abyss looked on and Ganyu does the same, as they looked horrified at what they are seeing. Abyss thought that his undead AU is bad, but this...while it may not be as bad, he does not know if the people inside of this state are been conscious or not, and if their consciousness is stuck inside doc the form that then are in right now, than it clearly means that they are experiencing something worse than death.
Dream than spoke out.
"There's too much negativity around there. The Corrupted, even with my power, will not die. We need to move, before they get back up again."
Dream than beckons them to follow him, and as they did...Abyss stopped, as he sensed something. And he is not the only one. Atla and Kunou also sensed it, and it caused the group to stop, as they are inside of the village.
"Sans, what is wrong?"
Yumi said, as Ganyu spoke out.
"Did you...notice something?"
Abyss than spoke out.
"Sensed something."
Atla nodded, as Kunou spoke out.
"So much power, like light itself."
Atla than spoke out.
"Brings so much happy feelings inside of me."
It didn't take long for Dream to realize what this means.
"That means that the Positivity Apples are nearby. Quick. Let's get to them, fast."
Everyone nodded, as they than began to rush as fast as they can to the apples, as well as making sure that they do not get caught by the Negativity Zombies. They kept on moving where Abyss, Kunou, and Atla are moving to, and after a little while, after they had found a large house, and Abyss spoke out.
"This house. This house has them. I can sense it. But..."
Abyss than looked, and saw a whole pack of Corrupted, as he than spoke out.
"The corrupted, there are so many of them at them at the door. How do we get past this?"
Abyss and Dream looked, as they looked at the entrance. Dream than thought for a little bit, as he spoke out.
"We need to find a way to clear them out. Everyone, we need to fight them. We may not kill them, but what we can do is push them back enough so that there is room for all of us to get to the door and get inside of the house."
Everyone nodded, as they readied themselves, as Abyss started first, and fired his Abyss Blasters at the large group of infected, as the other went into the fight.
Yumi than former icicles and fused them together to use her black ice ability, as they hit and attacked the negativity zombies. Unfortunately, the best that they were good at is making them stagger. It did not really do much to them. However, this is where Dream comes in. He than summoned an arrow made of positivity, and shot at the negativity zombie, which killed it.
Atla than used her immense strength to punch the ground to slow them down just long enough for Kunou to use her Fox Fire to blast them backwards. But notably, Atla does not even try and attack the Corrupted. This is because of the fact that Atla has no idea what will happen if she does use her punches on them. And she does not want to find out. She doesn't even want to know what will happen.
Dream continues to fire arrows of Positivity at the Corrupted and compared to the other, he is doing much better, especially with Ganyu at his side, who used her own ice arrows to slow them down, while Dream would notch an arrow of his own and fire at them in order to send them away.
Abyss, with him, he is as much of his powers as he can in order to make sure that they are pushed with enough room for the others to make a beeline towards the place. He used CELL Bones to paralyze them in place, while Dream fires at them, he uses his Abyss Blasters to temporary scattered their bodies, but Abyss than noticed that it is wide enough, as Abyss spoke to Ganyu.
"Hey, Ganyu. I need you to use that Ice Sphere and slow them down. We're now in the clear."
Ganyu than summoned an orb of ice into the air, as she than began to slow down the infected, which allowed Dream to fire as many arrows as he can in order to put them down. And this allowed Dream and the others to move to the house as fast as they can.
They were able to open the door, before they then closed it onto the infected. Abyss than looked around, as he than spoke out.
"Okay, so where is it?"
Abyss than began to look around, as he began to feel the Golden Apples around here. He sensed the immense power that it is holding, he looked around and tried to find it. But when he saw what seems to be a living, he sees a chest here. He than goes to it and opens it, and he's shocked.
Inside of the large chest, are a lot of Golden Apples, and it is not just simply 10s or all of that. There's a total of 330 Golden Apples inside. And their power when together, it is so, so immense! Even Atla could feel it, as this is something that she has not thought she would feel before. Kunou as well. Although Yumi and Ganyu can't feel it, even they could sense something very special about the Golden Apples that they are seeing inside of this chest, as Dream spoke.
"This is one of them. But there could be more. Let's search around and see if there are more chests that have Golden Apples inside of them."
Abyss turned around and nodded, but Atla and Kunou already have gone first.
Atla went up the stairs, as she goes as much high as she can, as she tries to see if there is another Chest Thad she can find. But she then remembered how the chest felt, when she felt the combined number of Golden Apples. She than used her powers to sense it, and sure enough, she does. She goes to it as quick as they can, as she then saw and noticed a large chest, a tiny bit larger than the one that she first saw. She looked inside, and sure enough, this is another back of Golden Apples, and there is slightly more in there to. About 334 Golden Apples. Taking the chance, she lifts it up with her immense strength, and brought it back to the others.
With Kunou, she is running down the stairs as fast as she can, as she than spots a lower floor. She than made some lights appear, as she then revealed that there is another chest, and it is just as large as Atla's. She looked inside, showing 334 Golden Apples. She closed the chest, as she than goes up with the chest on her hands, as she than looks up, and began to meet up with the others in their group. She than puts down the larger chest, next to the slightly smaller one, as Abyss than spoke out.
"Okay, Dream. Do you think you can take us back?"
Dream than closed his eyes, as he than concentrated. But he than realized something.
"Oh no. I think I spent to much time in a negative place like this. It made my power weak."
This stunned the group, as Abyss than spoke out to Dream, confused.
"What? What do you mean your power have grown weak."
Dream looked down at the ground, for a little bit, before he than spoke out.
"My powers dilute whenever I enter a place filled with nothing but negativity. Because of this, I can grow more and more weaker as time goes on, and as long as I remain in a place filled with negativity, I'll grow weaker, until I reach my limit. Because of this, I need my power filled up again. I need the positivity it everyone around here, so that I can grow powerful enough to make a portal."
Abyss looked down, as he than thought of something else that he'd also do. He than looks up at Dream, as he than spoke out.
"How about you can do another thing at the same time?"
Dream turned around, as he than looked at the Chest filled with Golden Apples, as he than spoke out to Dream.
"Do you think you can eat the Golden Apples at the same time as when you absorb our Positive Feelings?"
Dream looked down at the Chest, as he than spoke out.
"I...I could but...it is risky. You see, whenever a Guardian continues to consume and eat more and more of the apples from the Tree of Feelings, they begin to lose their senses, their sanity. They become more and more creamy as time goes on. And this also did not help what happened to my brother, when he continued to eat the black apples."
Abyss looked down at the Golden Apples, as he than spoke out.
"How many did he eat before he became irreversibly insane?"
Dream looked down, as he than spoke out.
"He...he went insane when he reached the the 660th Golden Apple."
Abyss nodded, as he than used his scarves and wrapped around the 2 other larger chests, as he than spoke out.
"Than eat the small one, with the least amount of Golden Apples compared to the others. We can use our positive feelings to charge it even more."
Dream looked a little bit unsure, but Abyss spoke out.
"Dream. You can do this. Just, try to resist the craziness effect the Golden Apple can give you, and instead, focus on us, and our positive feelings. Or...if it helps you...focus on the reason you had got to the point, in the reason you have to protect the AUs from your brother."
This made Dream stunned that Abyss would say that. But he than looked down, as he than sighed. He does not want to do this, but he knows that Abyss wants to help. Besides, he is giving him advice on how to do this. He than took a deep breath, before he than turned around, and opened the smaller Golden Apple, as he than spoke out.
"I'm...ready. Everyone. Please, focus on your most happiest moments in life. I need to absorb as much of it as I can, so that I can open a portal back to Celltale. So please, focus on it."
Everyone agreed, as then all closed their eyes, and Abyss does the same, as he focused on all of his happiest memories. And luckily, Ganyu had countless happy memories inside of her, due to her being thousands of years old. And then, the moment that Dream sees that they are doing it, he sighed, before he turns back around to the Golden Apples, before he than spoke out.
"Here we go."
He than began to eat the Golden Apples, as he consumed and ate them, and as he did, he felt the positive emotions of the 5 people that are present with him. He felt their positivity charging him up back to full power, before it did reach full power, as he than began to eat the Golden Apples, he consumed one at a time, and as he did, he felt his power grow more and more and more. He remembered all the times that he spent with Nightmare, all the happy memories that he had with him, as well as all the happy memories that he had with the Star Sanses, and Core Frisk, who he saw as a dear friend to him. As he continued to eat, he than felt something pierce his back. He turned around, and saw that he has wings on his back, and they pierced through the 2 sides of his spine. But they are very small. And this is after the 150th Apple. But he then stops paying attention to that, as he began to consume the Golden Apple, he began to consume more and more and more, and as he did, the wings grew larger and larger, until it grew enough that he is able to fly with them, and almost look like to the point that he is able to house 3 pairs of wings inside of him. When he reached the 200th Golden Apple, Dream felt his power reached a new level, as he felt the crown on top of his head beginning to float. It wasn't noticeable, at first, but as Dream continues to eat, he felt he crown on top of him beginning to touch his skull, as it moves up from his head, and before he knew it, it than began to float on top of his head. However, Abyss, thinking that they need some more power, decided to use his power to teleport 2 more Golden Apples inside of each of the 2 larger chests separately. And Dream did not notice it. Abyss knows that he is taking a very large gamble, but he needs to do this, so that summoning a portal for Dream is much more possible. And Dream continue to eat, the Positivity continuing to empower him more and more and more, until finally, Dream was done with that chest, now having gained 333 Apples inside of him, and now switches to the other one, which Abyss let's go of. He than continues to eat more and more of it, as he felt another piercing feeling on his back, this time, lower, and he saw that the Golden Apples are now creating a second pair of wings, and this is after the 400th apple. But Dream continues to eat, as he felt the second pair of wings on his lower grow more and more, until he reached the 45oth Golden Apple, where the second pair of wings have grown just as large as the first pair. But he continues to consume more and more, as the Crown began to glow brighter. But as that happened, Dream's hands than began to crack, as Golden Positivity began to leak out of his skin, and he reabsorbed into the Halo. And this is reaching the 500th Golden Apple. But Dream appears to not control himself, as he continues to eat more and more, and more and more cracks appeared onto his arms. But when he reached the 550th Golden Apple, a crack appeared across his nose that is when thinks that, he's had enough, and pushed him away, before closing the chest, as he spoke out.
"Woah, Dream, that is a lot more than you chewed."
He felt immensely powerful, more so than ever before. In fact, he feels so much incredible power, that he feels like he is able to effect the entire AU, and perhaps a couple more nearby AUs. He than turned around, as everyone stopped what they are doing, and saw that Dream is now much more different than before. He now has 2 large pair of wings, his crown is floating like a Halo, and his eyes are glowing even more golden than before, almost as if the group are staring into 2 pairs of suns. In fact, they are so bright that it consumes the entire eyeball, almost like his eyeballs have became lightbulbs. Dream than twitched his eyes a little bit, but he than summoned a portal, as both Atla and Kunou than carried the chest, and ran inside. Yumi and Ganyu ran inside, and Abyss does the same, as he grabbed onto Dream and went in. And luckily, the portal did not close until Dream exited. And now, they are back in Celltale.
Abyss than turns to Dream, as he spoke out.
"Dream, are you okay?"
Dream looks at Abyss and nodded.
"I am. It is just that...I feel some of the insanity inside of me, because I ate the Golden Apples. And I'm...sorry. I couldn't stop myself. The insanity took over when I reached the 500th Apple, and it compelled me to keep going.
Abyss nodded, as he than spoke out.
"How long will it takes for you to get rid of it?"
Dream looks down, as he spoke out.
"I...I do not know. Days, maybe even weeks. I have no idea. I'll need to wait it out until it goes away. For now, I need to take a rest from all of this. Where do I sleep?"
Abyss than spoke out.
"You can sleep inside of the house, so that you can regain your footing."
Dream nodded, as he than turned around and walked away.
But before he did, he spoke out to Abyss.
Abyss, keep the Golden Apples away from me until I get rid of the insanity inside of me. Lock it up in a place where I won't get crazy to eat it again."
Abyss nodded, as Dream turned back to go inside. But unbeknownst to everyone, another crack was formed onto Dream's head, as Positivity than leaked out of the crack, as well as some positivity leaking out of his mouth and upwards, before being reabsorbed into the Halo, so that Dream does not lose power. This will take a very long time for Dream to heal from this.
