After the little exchange with Ink, Error sat down and thought to himself. During normal circumstances, Error would never dream of helping the Creator. However, this was a different situation. If they were left in an unfinished Au for too long, their codes could become distorted and they could end up as complete glitches, similar to himself. He hated to admit it, but the only reason why he was so powerful was because he was glitched. If three fairly strong Sanses became glitched out, there would be no stopping them.

Sighing, he stood up, only to be met with the face of Ink. He yelped and glitched a bit as he jumped back. "PeRsOnAl SpAcE aSsHoLe!" After calming himself, he turned to look back at Ink, expecting to see those same emotionless eyes, but was actually met with a green diamond and an orange question mark. His head was tilted slightly as he investigated the glitching mess in front of him. Error stared back for a while then spoke up again.

"sO i SeE yOuR tAkInG eMoTiOnS aGaIn. PatHeTiC."

Ink just smiled as one of his eye lights changed to an orange question mark. "Why do say that like it's a bad thing?"

"iNk, ThOsE aRe BaSiCaLlY dRuGs."

"And?"

Error sighed as he stood up. A sudden thought overcame him as he turned to Ink.

"hEy, WhY dO yOu NeEd Me To OvErWrItE tHeIr CoDeS aNyWaY? cAnT yOu JuSt CrEaTe SoMeThInG tO gEt ThEm OuT oF tHeRe?"

Ink looked down to the floor, nervousness practically dripping from his face. His eyes now showed a green diamond and a blue triangle. He shuffled his feet and rocked back and forth a bit, trying his best not to answer the question. "Well, uh, you see!.. Hmm, well-"

"jUsT sAy It GoDaMnIt!!"

Ink's eyes went black as he looked Error dead in the eyes, causing the latter to step back a bit.

"It's because I am not the all powerful being I seem to be. I do not create. You do not destroy. It's all them." Ink slowly pointed away from them, not really pointing at anything.

Error looked around quickly. "uH, wHo? I dOnT sEe AnYoNe ElSe HeRe."

"You're not going to see them Error. You won't ever see them. They are the rulers of this world. They created this timeline. They created the entire multiverse itself. I am considered the 'Creator' because of their will. I am nothing more than a puppet attached to their invisible strings. And so is everyone else. Everything that happens is because they want it. They choose for me to create. They force you to destroy. Because of their ideas, I don't have emotions. I wouldn't exist without them. No one would. Nothing would."

Error looked a little taken aback by this. He stepped back once more and replied with a nervous grin on his face. "Y-yOuR bLuFfInG, rIgHt? I mEaN, tHeRe'S nO wAy!"

Ink just stared back at him with the same empty eyes. "Yes there is Error. Because they just caused you to say everything, just as I am now. They made you step back, they made you nervous, they control every last detail. And I am their way of getting away with it. There is no Creator. There is no Destroyer. Only them."

"w-WeLl HoW mAnY aRe ThErE?"

"Millions." Ink's eyes returned to the normal blue circle and yellow star. "Did you know that many different beings have created numerous timelines? Some of them are really strange, like ones about relationships, or ones that make no sense at all. I believe there have been timelines where we were in a relationship and had two children, another with you and Blue and you two had a child, another in which I had a child with Dream, and so on."

"..."

"Error?" Ink looked over at Error to see error signs covering his eyes and a screen that said Error.ExE has crashed. Please stay patient while systems reboot.

"Huh. I guess that was too much for him. Well, I can't be blamed! Only the puppeteers who control me can!"

With that, Ink strolled around, though he always knew. Someone was watching. For, someone was watching this very instant, and he knew very well that they were the cause of all this. And yet he was completely incapable of doing anything about it, because they were on the other side of the glass.
