Taking a Massive Risk

William could not believe his bad luck. The Conduit of Life's Soul is in the Citadel, where some of his most dangerous counterparts reside in. This is the last place that he wants to search. Last time he was here, he nearly got caught, along with, believe it or not, his original timeline counterpart. Of course, his original self was wearing a different set of clothing, unlike the one that Abyss Error404 had worn when he was still his normal self.

And needless to say, if they both hadn't worked together, it would have been a disaster, and the both of them would have been arrested, or worse, erased. And that is something that William does not want to happen again. He than looked down, as he than spoke out.

"The Citadel, why the Citadel of all places?! And how...how did you even know about the Citadel on the first place?! You didn't follow me into the portal that I had made to it from before, did you?!"

Infected shook his head, meaning no, as he than spoke out.

"No, I got there because some random portal appeared, and I got so curious that I had jumped in. I even met my original timeline self, the one that is still very insane and crazy, and we, didn't get along, due to the fact that bout of your craziness didn't match us for the other. But while I was in the Citadel, I managed to sense the Soul of the Conduit of Life, somewhere in the Citadel. Maybe it had something to do with the Soul of the Conduit of Destruction that I have, which would be the reason why I had sensed it, but regardless, I was amazed that it is here. Although...I didn't have the time to pinpoint its location."

William than spoke out.

"What did you mean, you didn't have time to pinpoint its location?"

Infected than looks back up at Error404, as he than spoke out.

"I mean, I was distracted, due to the fact that I had caused a ruckus in the Citadel, which nearly led to my arrest. Because of that, I had to get out of here before I could be arrested, or worse. And now, I am unable to go back there again, due to what I have nearly done. And the Citadel...I don't know if they will be able to recognize me, especially since I am now in an Abyss form."

William looks down, as he clenched his fist. He cannot believe his bad luck. He is going to be forced to go into the city, in order to try and find the Soul of the Conduit that has lead to the creation of all Life in the place that she had came from. And this is going to be one hell of a disaster, because of the fact that, while Error404 didn't get in trouble, that is only because he was able to come up with a good excuse as to what happened. And this time, since he is in Abyss Form, which is permanent, this will lead to a dire situation, because the is a Law involving the Citadel, or more specifically, the one that rules it, and that is to not gain power that surpassed them. And because of the fact that he has gained a fusion of a Fiberglass Soul, and Abyss' Soul of Evolution, this is going to make him be put onto that list, and than he is gonna get in trouble. He clenched his fist...and he tries to calm down, while he takes a deep breath.

"Damn it. I have no choice."

Abyss than looks up at Error404, as he than spoke out.

"What's wrong?"

Error404 looks down at Abyss, his eyes concerned, as he than spoke out.

"Abyss...do you have any idea how dangerous the Citadel is?"

Abyss shook his head, as he than spoke out to Abyss William.

"No, in fact, this is the first time that I have heard something such as this. Why do you say that? Does it scare you?"

Error404 than spoke out.

"More than that. The Citadel is ruled by extremely powerful entities, and the people that are living inside of the realm that the Citadel is in, they are filled with versions of me, as well as versions of Delios, Ares, Adam, Jacob, and even the Astral Mother herself, but when it involves versions of me, most of them are just, simply putting it, beyond dangerous, some of them are murderous and are ready to kill me, with only a few exceptions. And that is not the worst part. The worst part, is the fact that...it is ruled by an extremely powerful entity. And one of the laws of the Citadel states that you cannot gain power that surpasses that entity. And because I had fused with you, and gained an Evolving Fiberglass Soul, I am at the risk of breaking such a law, especially since I am about to be forced into entering this place again, even after I had sworn that I would never enter it again."

Abyss than spoke out.

"Well, if you want, I am be the one to go there and-"

But Abyss William spoke out.

"No, you are not going there. That place is way too dangerous for even to you go to and put your mission in. You may be powerful, Abyss, but even your power is no match for my other counterparts, many of whom are stronger than you, and many of them stronger than alternate timeline versions of my original self, which I have met in the past."

William than sighs, as he than looks up, but he than spoke out.

"And actually, Mega Man X, Sonic, Mario...there are some conduits that you can gain some help from, and help that I need you 3 to gain, through the use of their souls."

This surprised the 3 of them, but Mega Man X is the first to speak out.

"What Conduits do you need us to find?"

Error404 looks at Mega Man X in the eyes, and he than spoke out.

"Actually, this one is fitting for you. The Conduit I want you to locate, is the Conduit of Potential. And the description of his power, it is actually similar to the X in your name. I have heard that the X in your name is meant to represent, 'Limitless Potential.' The Conduit of Potential also has a similar phrase, 'Infinite Potential,' when involving his powers. So it is fitting they you should go and find him."

Mega Man X looks down, and spoke out.

"Umm...okay, I'll find him. I just hope that I can do it on time."

Than, a hand is placed onto his shoulder, and he looks to see that Zero is the one that is putting his hand on X's shoulder.

"Don't worry, X. Me and Axl have got your back. We'll help you find that Conduit in no time at all."

X looks at Zero, and than he looks at Axl, who than takes out his guns, as he spoke grinned a little, and spoke out.

"Zero is right, X. We got your back every step of the way."

smiled, as he and his friends had than turns around and teleports away from the Omega Timeline. Error404 than turns to Sonic, as he than spoke out.

"Sonic, you will be finding this Conduit called the Conduit of Justice. He has been missing for a very long time, but I am confident that you can find him in time. Are you able to do so?"

Sonic smiled, as he than spoke out.

"On time? You are forgetting who you're taking to!"

William smiled, as he than spoke out.

"I haven't forgotten who I am talking to. I just want to make sure that you are up to the challenge."

Sonic nodded, as he than ran away fast, in order to prepare finding the missing Conduit of Justice. Error404 than turns to Mario, as he than spoke out.

"Mario, I am entrusting you with the task in trying to find a Conduit, who is known simply as the Conduit of Truth. This Conduit is someone that is the source and the solver of most problems. Try and gain a Conduit Soul for a temporary amount of time, and use it to try and find a way to defeat MalesGrow. Can you entrust you with this task?"

Mario nodded his head, as he than spoke out.

"You can-a, William. I am-a willing to do whatever it-a takes to get the job done."

William than spoke out.

"Than waste no time, Mario. Find the Conduit of Truth. He is supposed to have been locked himself inside of a castle of sorts. Try and reason with him."

He than snapped his fingers, and he used his Pixel Manipulation to make a crystal green pipe behind him.

Mario looks up at William, and nodded his head, as he than jumps as high as he can into the pipe, and he began to go down there. But as that happened...

"WAHHHH!!!"

William and Abyss turns around to see that Luigi is running fast,

as he spoke out.

"MARIO!!! WAIT-A FOR ME!!!!"

He than jumped into the portal, and went down into it. William sighed, as he puts his hand onto his face, as Abyss than spoke out to him.

"So, what do you want me to do?"

William than looks down at Abyss,and spoke out.

"I need you to be remaining in the Omega Timeline. You will still be needed, and you need to help train the other version of you into being much more stronger than ever before. And also, Tint will help you."

Than, Tint landed down next to William, and raised his head up to look at Abyss on the eyes.

His Rainbow Arm is still present, and he is holding his Tentacle-wrapped paintbrush on his hand. He is smiling, due to the fact that, as Ink is here, this gives Tint the ability to feel emotion. Abyss looks at Tint, and nodded, as William spoke out.

"Good. I am counting on you, Abyss."

William than turns his 4 pairs of scarves into wings, and flies up as fast as he could. He than extended his hand out, and made a portal in the sky, as he than flies up into it, and he is gone from everyone's sight. Abyss looks up at where William was once at, as he clenched his fist, before speaking out.

"William...I hope you know what you are doing."

He turns around, and sees Ikaruga training with Akame, Blake, and Velvet, as Abyss than looked around, and he clenched his fist. This is frustrating for Abyss. He shows he outside, doing something that could be considered useful. And instead of that, he is going to need to stay here. Than again, MalesGrow is still out there, along with Ten No Kami, and the last thing that Abyss wants to happen is having to make the entire situation worse for him, which is by possibly being consumed by MalesGrow, which would be able to accelerate his growing powers. As he looked around the Omega Timeline, he than noticed a 15-year old looking version of himself, resembling an Underswap Sans, but with different colors, and having a left heart-shaped eye.

Perhaps he'll start with him, and be able to get him in shape, if he can that is, if that version of him doesn't mind being trained by Abyss himself. He was about to go to him, when all of a sudden...Osiris got in the way.

"Oh, don't do that one, Abyss."

This made Abyss confused, as he than spoke out.

"Why not?"

Osiris smiled a little bit wider, as he than spoke out.

"This one right there is Cyan, and he is being trained by Error and Ink, due to having a spray paint that Ink had given him, and having a whip made from Error's strings."

This made Abyss pout a little. But he than shook his head, as he than noticed that Ink's little sister figure, Kusano, is playing around with the different Frisks using her plants.

Abyss sighed, as he shook his head, before he than spoke out.

"I'm gonna need to practice my powers. I'll be right back, Osiris."

Abyss than spreads his wings, as he than flies up into the air as fast as he could, before he than began to fly to an empty part of the Omega Timeline.

With Willliam...

Abyss William is flying through the portal as fast as he possibly can. His mind is filled with so many complex emotions, many of which are related to one sort of emotion, frustration. He is immensely frustrated that he has to go into the Citadel, in order to being back a Conduit Soul, one that embodies life of all things, and it is frustrating, he cannot believe that he has to do this, and this is without question, one of the dumbest things that he had to do, go into the Citadel, even though he had promised himself to never do this again, to never visit a place as horrifying as that again. And now, now he is forced to break that promise in order to stop MalesGrow and Ten No Kami, 2 of his worst enemies ever.

"Oh gods, someone just kill me."

He spoke to himself, feeling ashamed and embarrassed of what he is gonna out himself into, and doing this is the last thing he wants to do. But he now has no other choice. And besides, since she has fused with Abyss, finding that Soul will be a little easier, since Abyss' powers, one of them, allows Error404 to sense and locate where they are, similar to a radar. Error404 looks and sees the other side, as he than flies through it, high into the air, before landing down with a powerful crash.

He than looks down, and saw that he is on a ground, that is of a composition to that of a sidewalk. He than stood up, his feet no longer touching the ground, as he looked around to see where he is at right now. And here he is, the Citadel. This is by far, the largest city in all of existence. It is so large, that a trillion of the largest cities throughout the entire multiverse are able to fit inside of the Citadel.

Abyss Error404 sighed, he clenched his fist tightly, before he than spoke out to himself.

"I can't believe that I have to do this sort of thing all over again. And now, this time, I would have to find the Conduit Soul, somewhere in the middle of the Citadel."

He clenched his fist in immense frustration, as he than began to walk forward towards a direction. As he looked around, he noticed a bunch of versions of himself, many of whom look very similar, while others are vastly different, such as their style of clothing, their attitude/personality, and their powers, though they do keep one thing in common. And it is not just versions of him, but also versions of Infected, of Omnipotent, of Alpha, and of Delios, as well as a police version of the Astral Mother, which made Abyss William flinch in disgust and anger at the sight at what he is seeing. Even though he knows that this is not really his mother, it does not change the fact that this person is very similar to her in appearance, with the exception of the clothing, and needless to say, he had to fight the urge to lunge at her, but he learned from last time at what happens if you dare to try and do that, otherwise, he would be sent to a prison, without any hope of escaping that place whatsoever. And he does not want to end up getting on the wrong side of the law, which is the last thing that he needs.

But he cannot think of that, he needs to find a place where he can concentrate on his power in order to try and find out where the Conduit Soul of Life is at right now. And thankfully, he looks up, and saw an extremely tall building in front of him. He looks around, to see if there is anyone that is watching him. And sure enough, there is a blue sentinel watching Abyss William, waiting patiently to see what he is about to do next. William knows that this is bad, because of the fact that he needs to be unseen and to concentrate on what he needs to do, in order to find that soul. So, he began to walk around and tries to find a place to concentrate, only to see that more and more blue sentinels are watching him. It is obvious that they are concerned of Abyss William, as he is simply an unknown intruder. William than looks around as much as he can, as he than took notice of an area that the Blue Sentinels does not see. So, Abyss William simply teleported away fast.

He than looks up, and flies as fast as he can, and thankfully, the speed he gained had increased him so much that he simply went up that tall building in just about 4 seconds. He was able to hide from the Blue Sentinels, who are now looking around to see where he is at right now, only to see that they are finding nothing. But then, the Blue Sentinels began the fight upwards to the same building that Abyss William is in, before Abyss William than curled into a ball, almost looking like Abyss' snow puff ball form, except that it is a much more bigger appearance than before, by about 4 plus bigger. They tried to use their scanners to see what it is, but they are unable to identify it, and they tried to carry it, only for the ball to somehow be rooted to the ground. And as that happened, William looks at the inside of the snow puff form that he is in, as he than spoke out.

"Phew, that is close. Now...I just need to focus my power, in order to try and track down the Conduit Soul of Life. Jacob, I hope you are being truthful to me, especially since this act of lying is gonna cost you your life, once I get back to you fast. But for now....I need to find that soul, quickly."

He than looks down at his knees, while he is still curled up into a ball, before he than sighed, and he closed his eyes, while he begs to concentrate on his magic. He is doing all that he can to try and sense where the orb is at, and...it was a very difficult process...due to the fact that he needs to identify the souls that exist around inside of the Citadel, and tries to find the one that might feel like the orb. The Conduit's Soul reflects of the feeling and nature of the Conduit themselves, so it needs to be felt to Abyss William in order for Abyss William to be able to find it and know where it is. And as he searched for something...he felt something. It is feeling, like he has become alive again, after what seems to be so long, like a few millennia since it all happened. It didn't take long for William to realize that this...this is none other than the Conduit Soul of Life, and it has not moved for some reason. Whatever the reason that it may be, he needs to find it.

Outside, the Blue Sentinels are trying to rip the blue snow puff with the aqua green DNA Strands all over the place, only for the puff to quickly unravel and instantly vanish, as Abyss William began to fly at immense speed to the item in question, with the speed that he is going being comparable, perhaps even more faster than the Speed of Light itself, as he becomes more and more closer to the Conduit Soul by every passing minute, by every ticking second, and he is able to feel it, stronger. The presence of the Conduit Soul of Life is becoming more and more stronger by the second that he is moving towards it, and after an entire 4 minutes of flying...he stopped, before he than hovers down, as he flaps his wings to slow down his descent to the ground. He stepped onto the ground, and he can feel it, a powerful immense amount of energy underneath the ground. Abyss William clenched his fist, before he than put his hand onto the ground, and began to break it away. The ground cracks, it than began to split apart, as Abyss Error404 began to concentrate on his Evolving Blue Mastery, trying to crack and break the ground, in order to try and get what it is that is underneath he ground itself, and than, the ground, it had finally split, the rocks are now floating in the air, glowing bout an Aqua Green and Dark Blue color, and he than look to see what he had been looking for: the Conduit Soul. And appearance was a very unique description. It is a rich golden lime color, and Error404 can feel a powerful energy of life coming from the soul, and the thing is, it is so bright that Abyss Error404 cannot see what the shape of the soul looks like. He assumes that it is a heart, but is it really the shape of it, due to how immensely bright. And the odd thing his, the Soul is in what appears to be a capsule of some sorts, and it's inside for no reason, though Abyss William thinks that the capsule is simply meant to protect the soul, and does not have an effect on the Citadel. He crouched down, and picked up the soul, before he held it tightly, before speaking out.

"Okay, Good. I got what I need. I shouldn't waste my time. Now it is time to get out of here."

Abyss William spoke out, a she than began to walk away, when all of a sudden...another voice spoke out.

"Oh, I don't think you will be getting away with this one very easily."

This made Abyss Error404 stop, and he turns around in order to to see who it is that had spoke...and what he saw made William realize one thing in mind: He's screwed.

"...Oh Shit."

William said, having encounters this Error404 counterpart before. This entity is known as M404!B666, or in his full name, Malware 404! B.U.T.T.E.R.F.L.Y, or as William would like to call this one, Just404!B.U.T.T.E.R.F.L.Y 666. This version of himself apparently went originated from a multiverse where he straight up killing everyone, including his loved ones, meaning that he has killed Alpha Sans, Adam. And this makes William angry, but remains calm.

"You...I thought that you were trapped in that prison! Why are you outside of that place??!!!"

M404!B666 smiled very sinisterly, as he spoke out.

"And I was...but let's say I found a lucky portal to bring me back to my universe, and I was able to come back, just as strong as I had been before my powers had been taken away. And I know what you are attempting, with that capsule that has that Conduit's Soul inside of it. And that is something that I will not allow for you to take."

This made Abyss Error404 step back, knowing that M404!B666 is going to try whatever it takes to attempt to destroy that soul, even though he needs it to revive his universe, as well as the people that have inhabited it.

Of course, he always wondered how this version of him came to be in the first place, and how he managed to get this powerful. But his best guess is that this version of Just404 fused with Error while in his Just404 B.U.T.T.E.R.F.L.Y transformation, which made him much more stronger than ever before by an insane margin. If that's the case, than that wound explain the red parts of his physical figure. And if that is the case, than what happened to the Error of his alternate universe.

Abyss404 stepped back, clutching the capsule holding the Conduit Soul in his hand, as he spoke out.

"Why are you trying to stop me? I want nothing to do with you, or the devoid alternate universe of yours, the one that you had fucked up so badly!"

But M404!B666 smiled wide, as he spoke out.

"But it is amusing, to make sure that what you will have, will fail...AND IT IS BY MY HAND!!!!!!"

M404!B666 than charged forward, as Abyss404 than spreads his scarves, and flies up as fast as he could, as M404!B666 began to chase him as fast as he could. A blur of white, black, blue, aqua green, and red appeared as a trail behind the 2 versions of Error404, as Abyss404 kept on flying as fast as he can, and M404!B666 kept on chasing him, both moving faster than light speed, as he spoke out.

"YOU WILL NEVER ESCAPE ME ALIVE!!!!!"

This made Abyss Error404 stressed and angry, as he than spoke out to himself.

"I really shouldn't have come back here again!!!!"
