The Cipher Of The Boiling Isles

The Day of Unity

King wasn't afraid.

If someone told you he was- they're a liar!

What he couldn't understand was why his legs were shivering. Why it felt like the world was spinning and why his throat was dry.

King had fallen down the staurs as they fought Belos. He got up, a bit unsteady. "It's pointless." Kikimora spoke. She sounded ill. "Belos can't stop the spell anymore than they can- only The Collector has that power... but Belos hid him away." She said, a unfamiliar tone in her voice.

"C-Can we find This... Collector?" King asked. Kikimora stood. "We can try." The Shortie replied. She- or rather the mech she was in- took a step. But that's when the Unity took too much of a toll on her.

He collapsed forwards, landing on and knocking out King.

It was dark.

King felt weightless. A better description is that he could feel the ground. When he opened his eyes, he didn't see anything. Just darkness.

But that's when he saw something. A yellow shape floating before him. "Hm, that's new." The Triangle spoke. It wore a bowtie and a long, strange hat.

"W-What!" King exclaimed, jumping backwards. "Oh, you're alive." The yellow being commented. "Who are you? Where am I?" King asked.

"Welcome to the Void kid. Not sure hoe you got here. And the names Bill, Bill Cipher." The Triangle- now dubbed Bill- introduced. "The void? How'd I get here?" King asked.

"Not quite sure about you, but I got here after being sucker punched, then removed from space and time by an Axolotl." Bill replied.

King was about to ask more, when he remembered something. "My friends!" He exclaimed, with worry in his voice. "My friends are in danger and I need to go help them!"

Bill thought for a moment. "Well it's your lucky day Kid! I'll help you out!" The Triangle dream-demon exclaimed. King looked confused for a moment. "You will? But why?" He asked, hesitant.

"Well you see I'm stuck here, so if I help you out, you gotta help me out, you gett my drift?" He said. "Come on, let's call it a deal!" He said, almost too excitedly. King weighed his options, only to realise he didn't have one. Bill stretched out his hand, igniting it in a blue flame.

"And you'll help my friends?" The Cubone asked. "Of course kid, just shake my hand."

Seeing no other choice, King complied. He reached out and gripped the Triangle's hand.

King woke up under a mech. The only thing was, this was King no longer. His yellow eyes with elongated pupils would be a give away to that.

Bill easily moved the mech off of himself. He felt near to how strong as he was back in weirdmageddon... just who's body was this?

He floated up, the area around him warping to allow him easily onto the bridge. He saw this weird momster dude bringing down a blade onto some kids. "Those are my friends" Someone exclaimed from the back of Bill's mind. 'Wow kid, you really are something special. Not only are you able to give me nearly all my power back, you're able to stay in body with me? That's a first.' Bill thought, knowing King could hear him. Well, he supposes he should keep his end of the deal. Besides, he was invested into finding out just what this mortal was.

Bill rose a hand, catching Belos' blade. "King?" Luz asked from behind him. Bill knew all their names- all their stories. He got them directly from King's mind of course.

"Not quite!" The demon replied. "Collector?" Belos asked, confused. "Who's that?" Bill asked, now facing The goop boi. "The name's Bill Cipher! And I made I deal with this little dog here to save his friends." Bill explained. "Although I'm not sure why I'm explaining his to someone who'll be stone in a few moments." Bill asked himself. "What-?" Phillip asked, before he turned to stone.

"Ha, his pain is hilarious." He said, pushing him off the bridge, the distinct noise of stone hitting stone and breaking could be heard.

He turned to face Luz and the rest. "Witch, Ooze, Mirror, Vine and Mask. I'll be watching you... and keep this guy alive, his body might take a while to recover." He said, before giving King back control of his body. Said body fell to the floor, unconscious. "King!" They all exclaimed, going to check if he was okay.

But it'd be a while until he would wake up...
