This made Abyss stunned, as he stepped back from Nightmare, who than chuckled a little bit, before speaking out to Abyss.

"Did you think I did not notice? I sensed that you have what remains of the Golden Apples inside of this AU. I know that you aided Dream in being able to locate them., and I will take it."

Abyss than glared a little bit, as he than spoke out to him.

"Well, too bad for you that is not gonna happen. You know me very well that I will never give you what you want from me, Nightmare. Especially after whatever it was that you had tried to do ti me before."

Nightmare smiled, as he than spoke out to Abyss.

"I see that you have not forgotten that encounter, Sans. Well, that is too bad for you. Because I intend on getting the Apples and corruption Ghent so that I can eat them, one way or another."

Nightmare than spreads his tentacles out far, as Abyss got ready to fight. His left pupil being surrounded by a blood red iris, as black tentacles came out of the left eye. He felt enraged, as he felt his control slip from him again. Kanaloa began to partially control him, as he than fired a red cosmic beam at Nightmare, which caused him a lot of agony, before Sans than stepped forward, and all of a sudden, Kanaloa used the power over his Conduit Soul and made the grass to terrine and weave around each other, as the grass and vines than turned into a cephalopod made of plants. Is than attacked with its tentacles, and wrapped around Nigntmare, and tried to restrain him, only for Nightmare to slice the entity into pieces, before Abyss than regained control over himself, and fired his Abyss Bkaster with a much power as he can, or rather use all of it, as he than blasted Nightmare with as much force as he can muster. Nightmare survived, but he had been blasted to pieces. And  before Nightmare can do anything, Ganyu fired her arrow and was able to use her ice powers to freeze Nightmare in his place.

Ganyu clearly thought that this would be enough to take down Nightmare. However, she was wrong, as Nightmare was than able to bust out of the ice without any sword of effort, and Nightmare simply had an annoyed look on his face, due to what Ganyu had done to him.

Nightmare than tried to skewer her work his tentacles, but Ganyu then dodged the attack with a dash type of power, which also froze Nightmare's tentacles on ice again. But Ganyu isn't done yet

She than fired and launched a bunch of ice arrows at Nightmare, all in an effort to literally freeze him in his tracks. But so far, her arrows are doing nothing more than annoy him at best. Nightmare then tried to wrap a tentacle around Ganyu, but Abyss than made a tentacle of his own with his scarves, as Nightmare looks at Abyss, as Abyss spoke out to the Guardian of Negativity.

"Think I am better match to fight against you."

This mad Nigntmare smirked Beth dangerously, as he than got prepared to send more of his tentacles at Abyss, when something suddenly hit them. And it exploded the tentacle, forcing Nightmare to turn to one direction.

Dream was able to notch an arrow, as he than pulled the arrow onto the strings.

Dream than took aim at Nightmare and fired the attack, as it than hits. When that happened, the arrows suddenly detonated into a miniature explosion of positivity. It is not as strong as when gatherered by countless people, but it is still much more powerful than Dream's normal arrows. The arrows detonated, forcing Nightnare to step away, as he looked at Dream and spoke out.

"Brother...I see you got an improvement over the last couple of weeks. Now you have a resemblance Eri an Angel, and one that will be ripped of his wings, so that you can suffer for eternity if never being free."

But Dream looked very unsatisfied, as he than spoke out to him.

"You are quite wrong, Nightmare. Even with all of the wings that I have gained, I can never gain the power to be free. No, I have simply trapped myself with you, so that I can do whatever it takes to stick you, even if I am weaker compared to you."

Nightmare Sans smiled sinisterly, almost as though he thinks that this is the funniest joke that he has ever heard of, as he than spoke out to Dream.

"Than you have chosen the worst way to die here, by the hands of your own brother, suffering in pure agony, and with no way to get out of it."

Nightmare than spreads his wings, as he than fired his tentacles at Dream, who than spreads his wings and flies up into the air, as he turns his bow into his trusty daggers. They shined blue with condensed and strengthened positivity, as Dream than began to slice Nightmares tentacles that are coming to him, and needless to say, Nightmare is having even more trouble fighting Dream, due to the fact that he had eaten more of the Golden Apples that had been stolen and are still intact. Because of this, he is now much more stronger, and like Nightmare, who's powers extent to some nearby AUs, as he pulls onto their negativity, in order to make himself stronger, Dream is pulling onto the Positivity of other AUs, though not as much compared to Nightmare. In fact, he can only do it half as much as Nightmare.  Because of this, his empowerment is somewhat slower compared to Nightmare, as he continued slicing Nightmare's tentacles. Needless to say, Nightmare is getting very annoyed, as he then disappeared into the ground, and he than rose up behind Dream, trying to stab him. But Dream noticed it, as he than summoned a sphere made of positivity around him, as he was able to block the tentacles from piercing him. The tentacles continue to pound onto the Sphere, but they are not doing as much damage to it as before. Than, Dream exploded the sphere into a bomb of positivity, which forced Nightmare back, forcing him to the ground. And this caused Nightmare a lot of pain. But since the AUs that surrounded him are filled with Negativity, including this place, thanks to the Dead Cells and the distress of the denizens of the remaining AUs and the forces of Heaven and the Underworld, Nightmare is still continuing to get stronger. But Dream can also sense positivity from this AU, due to the families that are surviving and living for their children's sake, which empowered his continuously. Nightmare than rose from the ground, as he launched tentacles at Dream, but Dream pulls out a surprise trick of his own, as he than summoned Golden Chains and wrapped around the tentacles, as he prevents the tentacles from moving, as well as giving Nightmare pain.

But Nightmare than summoned another tentacle, and stabbed Dream in the stomach, which caused Dream a lot of agony, before Nightmare throws him into the ground that is 10 feet away from him. But Abyss than took the chance, as he than fired Abyss Blasters at Nightmare, and does it with all of his might, summoning all 48 of them at once, in order to force Nightmare to leave, to protect the last Golden Apples. But Nightmare crawled out of the crater, as Abyss stepped back, his eyes glowing brightly, and DNA Symbols began to form onto his eye life, as Nightmare spoke out to him.

"You sure have gotten stronger from the last time we had met, Cell. It is apparent that you had grown so much in power that you can even summon far more blasters than ever before, as well as being able to cause more pain to me than before. But it matters not, when I am through with you."

This made Abyss narrow his eyes immensely, as he than spoke out.

"The only thing that you are through with is the fact that I am gonna make sure that you pay for your attack on me before, as well as your attack on the people that I care about, Nightmare."

Nightmare smiled, as he than spoke out to Abyss, cruelly.

Than it is too bad for you, since I am here to make sure that your misery is mine to take over, as well as mine to cause pure and unrivaled agony to. You will not escape me, and I will make sure that you are trapped by me for eternity."

Nightmare raised his tentacles, but then, Dream shouted out to Nightmare.

"You are not going against Nightmare alone, Abyss!!"

Dream than landed onto the ground, as his wound began to heal, before closing up, as Dream looked up at Nightmare, as he than spoke out.

"Together, me and Abyss will face off against you! We will make sure that you do not cause anymore suffering to the AU that you are invading, and you will not get the last Golden Apples!!"

Ganyu stepped forward, as she spoke out.

"That is right. We will not let Abyss face against you alone! We will stop you!!"

This made Nightmare smile, as he than spoke out to him.

"I'll do whatever it takes to get them, and you will not stop me, brother."

Nightmare raised his tentacles into the air, as he prepares to attack Dream and Abyss simultaneously,
And both got ready to fight, when all of a sudden, a fireball came out of nowhere and splits Nightmare's head wide open. This stunned the guardian, as then, someone had landed onto the ground, behind him, making Nightmare turn around

Ravel than came out of nowhere and blasted Hellfire at Nightmare at full power, which blasted a bunch of holes inside of his body. Nightmare got angry, as he than tries to stab Ravel, only for Ravel to dodge it. And than, another blast of fire appeared, and this time, from his left, as he turned around.

Suddenly, Braixen came out of college nowhere and blasted flames at Nightmare, forcing him back. Nightmare than tried to use his tentacles on Braixen, as she than jumped away from the attack. This made Nightmare irritated that there is more coming. But than, an icicle stabbed itself into Nightmare's back, as he than turned around to see who it is.

Yumi then came out of nowhere and attacked. She used Ice Pillar Fan on Nightmare in order to make sure that he is frozen in his place, after she spun like an ice tornado.

Abyss was stunned, as he than spoke out.

"Yumi! I didn't expect to see you, but I am thankful that you are!"

Yumi landed onto the ground, as she looked at Abyss before speaking out.

"Well, I can't just let the person that I love get hurt all to stop this, now can I?"

Abyss smiled as he then spoke out to her.

"I know you don't, Yumi. I am just very grateful that you still are with me."

Yumi nodded with a smile, before she than turns to Nightmare, as he busted out of the ice prison that he was once in. He looked a little bit madder, as he than spoke out.

"Witless Female! Die!!!"

He than launched his tentacles at Yumi in order to kill her, but Yumi dodged it in the nick of time, as she landed onto the ground. However, Nightmare than made the tentacles surround her in order to try and kill her. But Yumi, not wanting to die, does something about it.

Yumi than turned into her Ice Queen form, as her sword made of ice appeared in her hand, as she has a stern look on her face. This made Nightmare mad, as he than tries to use his tentacles on Yumi, only for Yumi to slide them with her icy sword. Of course, she knows better than to try and stab him, due to hearing from Dream what Nightmare can do against stabbing weapons.

This is making Nightmare even more frustrated, due to the fact that he is constantly getting attacked by more and more people. And it is about to get worse for Nightmare.

"Draconic Thunder!!!"

Than, a powerful lightning attack appeared out of complete nowhere, as Nightmare than got struck by its immense electrical properties. This made Nightmare feel a lot of stinging, as he than turned around and saw Yue, and she looked extremely bloodthirsty.

Yue's eyes began to glow, as she has a ruthless and sadistic look on her face, as she than spoke out to Nightmare, very cruelly.

"So? You must be Nightmare. The one they had attacked my darling Sans from before. I'll make sure that you suffer for it."

This made Nightmare furious, but he does speak out.

"Well, if it isn't the so-called Yue, or should I say, Aletia Galdea Vesperitio Avatarl, the former queen of her vampire clan."

Abyss heard that, and this made Yue immensely furious, as she than shouted out.

"Azure Blaze!!!"

A blue ball of fire appeared and exploded onto Nightmare's face, as Yue shouted out.

"Don't you dare call me by that name!! That is not me, and never will be!!"

Nightmare stood up, stronger by Yue immense rage towards him, as Atla Fayon landed next to Yue, along with Kunou. Needless to say, all of them are not happy with the fact that Nightmare has decided to come in and attack someone that they all loved. Atla punched the ground, as Kunou than launched Fox Fire at the Guardian of Negativity.

Yozakura than came out of complete nowhere and attacked by using the 10,000 Palm Fists of Paradise Hell. She generated energy in the palms of her gauntlets and she used the energy to attack Nightmare, blasting half of his body apart due to how liquid-like it had became, as Nightmare is sent crashing somewhere else. Nightmare than went out of whatever he had crashed into, and he got immensely annoyed, as he than sped up towards Yozakura only to be attack by some one of Yozakura's friends

Murakumo had also came out of nowhere, as she than used her Kagerō ability on Nightmare and summoned a couple of wolves that sliced Nightmare's body.

This stunned Dream, as he did not expect for something like this. He never thought that he would be protected in a way such as this. As that happened, Abyss' eyes widened, as he than spoke out.

"Dream. This is it. This is the chance we can to get your stronger. Hurry, to the Golden Apples."

Abyss than grabbed onto Dream's shoulder as he than teleported himself and Dream to the location of the Golden Apples. When that happened, they are inside of none other than a basement that Abyss has made, right behind the house that Alphys and the others are in, and Abyss was able to upgrade it in making sure they the positivity is not out and does not reveal their location. This made Dream perplexed and stunned, as he did it expect that. But than, Abyss spoke out.

"Dream, this is your time to shine. Use the Golden Apples right here."

Abyss than opened the chest, as the Golden Apples are revealed to Dream, who was stunned to see them. He never thought that Abyss would be able to think of a hiding place that is so simple for someone such as Nightmare, and yet, he manage to make it difficult by hiding it with some special magic. Abyss than turned to Dream and spoke out.

"You ready?"

Dream than looks at Abyss and nodded his head, as he than spoke out to him.

"I am. But only after you leave. I want to consume it alone. But do not worry, Abyss. I will find you and the others that are fighting Nightmare. It will be not that difficult for me to do it. Besides, your friends will want you to help them in the fight."

Abyss nodded as he than teleported away, before Dream than walks forward and goes to the chest. He stares down at it, seeing the Golden Apples glow immensely, as he began to think to himself, of all the good times he had with Nightmare, of how happy he once was, only for Dream to not be able to do anything, and let Nightmare be abused by the Village that they were supposed to protect. It made Dream feel guilty for never being able to do something about it. And which is why, he will make sure that something is done about it. He looks down at the Golden Apples, before he picked up one Golden Apple, as he stared into the reflection that stares back.

Dream looks at the Golden Apple in his hand, as well as the other Golden Apples, as a form of unhappiness quelled his thoughts, due to the fact that he needs to take it this soon. Luckily for Dream, due to Abyss' Energy Cell, his physical body has become more durable than expected and had already grown and adapt enough to the point where he might simply get some minor cracks, and no positivity comes out. Dream sighed, as he than spoke out.

"Alright. Let us do this. It is time to help Abyss and his AU."

He than took a bite out of the Golden Apple, and began to eat it, one more time. Since there are 449 of the Golden Apples, he should be able to take it. After all, it is only nearly halfway to 500, so he won't be cracked that much. It will only be seen as a minor hit. He than continued to consume the Golden Apples, as he felt his power grow more and more, as he felt his body also growing stronger. The wings on his back began to grow slowly, while his Crown, which is still floating like a Halo, began to shine more and more brighter. His eyes also began to glow immensely, as lighted shined out of his eye sockets even more than ever before. Dream narrowed his eyes, as he felt the urge to keep going, and this time, he allows it, while also mentally preparing and resisting some pretty bad effects on the mind. Dream continue to eat more and more, as the 2 pairs of wings grow larger and larger, until eventually, it became as large Nightmare's tentacles at average size.

He did not stop, however, as he continued to go down the hatchet, and continued to eat more and more. His powers are being felt by more and more nearby AUs, as Dream does all he can to keep going. He felt the craziness com back, when he had reached the 950h Apple, but he does not care, as he kept going. He kept on moving as much as he can, and he kept on eating more and more of the Golden Apples, until he has reached the last one. He has finally taken and eaten all 999 Golden Apples. He than stood up, as he felt his body becoming much more stronger than ever before. He opened his eyes, as they shined more brightly than the sun itself, yet it is safe to look into them. He than turns around, as he then spreads his wings, and flies out of the area as fast as he can, before making a portal to Abyss' location.

With Abyss and his friends, they are holding back Nightmare for as long as they can, only for Nightmare to force all of them away with some newly made tentacles. Everyone got trapped into them, except for Abyss, who than used his scarves to slice the tentacles off of his friends, as Abyss landed onto the ground, before he then stood up, and felt his eyes narrow, as Nightmare than spoke out.

"I have had enough of you gnats for constantly getting in my way. I will take what I mine, and all of you can't stop me from getting it. I will take the Golden Apples, and I will corrupt them for me to feast on, so that I can take over the Multiverse and make everyone suffer. Now give it to me!!"

Abyss snarled, but he then saw something, and he then smiled, before he than spoke out to him.

"I don't think so, Nightmare, especially since you are too late for that."

Before Nightmare could ask about it, he is then suddenly hit by a positivity arrow, even more painful than last time, as it detonated onto his back. He than looked up, and what he saw stunned him. Dream was in the air, he wings now a bit more larger, his eyes now glowing more brightly than the sun that is far away, his crown is also glowing, and he is covered in an a golden aura. It didn't take long for Nightmare to realize what had happened.

"No...NO!!!!"

Nightmare than turned around and shouted out to Abyss.

"YOU RUINED EVERYTHING!!!"

He than attempts to stab Abyss with his tentacle, but was sliced by Dream, who than made his blade appear. The blade is now glowing golden, as Nightmare is now evenly matched by Dream, who is now on the same level as him. Nightmare snarled, as he than tries to stab Dream with his tentacles, only for Dream to fold his wings in from of him, and block the tentacles, which pushed him back a little bit, as Dream looks at Nightmare, his eyes narrowed, as he than spoke out.

"You will not succeed this time, Nightmare. I have grown much more powerful than ever before. So it is time for you to leave."

Nightmare snarled, as he than spoke out to him.

"You may have won this time, Dream, Abyss...but it is not the end. I will be back to make you both suffer."

Dream than spoke out.

"And the next time to do come back, I will be at full strength with the Golden Apples, and I will be your most challenging opponent yet."

This made Nightmare angry, as he than disappeared into the air, as he left Celltale. Abyss sighed, as he than spoke out.

"Finally, he's gone."

Than, Yue than hugged Abyss, as Abyss looked at her and spoke out.

"Something wrong, Yue."

Yue than looked at Abyss, as he than spoke out.

"Sans...I..."

Than, the ground began to shake, as Abyss and the others nearly fell, and Abyss went onto one of his knees, as he than spoke out.

"What the, what is happening?! Isn't the problem with Nightmare enough?!"

As Abyss shouted out, Kunou looked down, and heard a crack, as a large fissure began to appear onto the ground, as she than noticed something

"Sans, the ground!!"

Both Abyss and Dream looked at the ground to see the crack, and inside of the crack, a large howl was heard, and Abyss saw a red sphere with DNA on it. The score of a Dead Cell, and a very powerful one at that. This made Abyss stunned, as he than spoke out.

"That is so not good."
