Tangled Strings of an Error

Chapter 1: New Born Alternate Universe

Has he been... crying...?

I quickly shook my head, disgarding my thoughts away and looked at him angrily.

Third person's POV

"Error! What have you done?!" Inky yelled at Error, who was still straighting is stand. Error forcefully stopped his whimpering and shook out his thoughts. His fagile body is now in his battle stance. He didn't answer Inky's question as if Inky already knows what the usual answer he was going to recieve from the glitching skeleton.

"WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO YOU?!" Inky practically screamed as he went to his battle figure. 'I should ask the exact question to you, Inky.' Error thought as he sighed and said nothing.

He summoned his strings and targeted Inky. Inky dodged to his right with ease. Like it was nothing.

'Something's not right...' he thought.

Something is definitely wrong here. Even Error can feel it too. He can feel it too much...

Something is wrong with him

He can feel himself weaker and he doesn't know why. His attacks were now slower that before. His HoPe is somehow getting higher and higher each time. Error can feel himself trembling as he can feel something tug on his neck.
Then, he can feel a gentle but stern tone of voice enter his head.

He couldn't understand what she was trying to say, but it sounded angry. The strings around his neck tightened and Error gagged and breathed. He started mentally choking.

Inky doesn't seem to notice Error's weird movements and held his broomy up and tried to splash him with pink paint. Error was fast to react. He ignored the tightness on his neck and dodged quickly and summoned his strings and targetted him again. This time, his strings are much more faster before. Inky's eyes widen as he jumped up, missing the strings. But suddenly, he was wrapped up by another set of strings. His head perked down to see Error looking up at him with dead eyes. Literally. "iNkY, pLeAsE. i'M nOt iN tHe MoOd To EvEn LaY a FiNgEr oN yOu..." Error sighed as he opened a portal to his anti-void and dropped Inky hard on the ground, dust poofing when he made the impact. Before Error can make his first step in the portal, Inky quickly splashed him with his red paint.

Error hissed in pain as he felt an acid-like substance was splashed on this back and fell on the floor, closing the portal from his lack of magic. "I will not let you get away this time, Error." Inky hissed at him. He splashed another paint at Error, forming a chain-like rope wrapping around him, hugging Error tightly and painfully, making him grunt.

Inky walked up to Error and put a foot on Error's skull, crushing it slowly. "I tried to save you for a long time, Error. Why can't you understand this...? Why can't you listen to me? Are you only destroying AUs for your amusement? You disgust me." Inky spat, crushing the glitchy skeleton's skull more harder, making Error groan in pain. "Error, you could  have change. You could have had a better life than this. You could have more furniture in your place than just simple dust and strings covering up your floor. Can't you understand... that I'm doing this for you?"

Inky has stopped crushing Error's skull, still keeping his guard up. He started tearing up as his knees started trembling. "So I am pleading, Error. I'm begging you... for the last time." He breathed before continuing. "Please, change. Maybe if we work together, we could make the multiverse a better place. You could even live with me! I know that we don't have much, but it's still better than an empty place filled with dust and blood splattered on the ground." Inky sniffed. "Please, I beg of you. Stop doing this to yourself and change!"

Silence filled the empty AU apart from Inky's little sniffs and tiny sobs, which echoed around the quiet space. Error already knew what he had to say from the very beginning of Inky's plead.

"sOrRy INkY..." Error summond a needle-like bone and broke his chains, which turned into regular purple paint. He immediatly stood and and opened a portal to his 'home' again. "...bUt I cAn'T."

Without a single word. Error sprinted in the portal so Inky won't make the same tactic again. Before Inky can even look up at him, he quickly closed the portal and flopped down, face first onto the floor. After a few minutes of the voices ringing through his head, the dark skeleton fell asleep.

From the empty Electricitale AU

Inky had expected this answer. It was unlikely to him for Error to finally stop his evil doing and be nice for a change. He sighed and slowly stood up to his feet. He picked up his broomy from the ground and opened up a portal to his home too. 'Well... I tried my best once again.' He thought as he stepped in.

On the other side, there was a simple tidy home where most likely for Inky to live in. He sighed again as he unlocked his door and went in, stepping onto the rug and closing the door behind him. Before he can even brush his shoes through the fabric, he was greeted by Dream.

"Ink! Welcome back...!" Dream waved his arm at him as he yelled his greeting. "Hey, Dream. Where's Blue...?" Ink asked as he waved his hand at the bundle of positiveness. "I don't know. He said that he was going somewhere that is 'totally not somewhere suspicious.' I don't know why he said that but I just let him go. He doesn't look like he's going to Underswap. He even carried a thick pillow with a blanket." Replied Dream as he sat down on ths couch.

'Huh... weird.' Inky thought.

Anti-void
Blue's POV

I looked around for Error only to find him flopped down on the ground. I could probably heard his gentle snoring coming from him. I giggled silently as I formed Error into a more confortable position and placed a pillow beneath his skull and wrapped him around a blanket.
Error made a happy grin and shifted to his left a little. He made a little hum as he snuggled into the soft pillow.

'Maybe I'll come back later...' I thought and formed a portal to Ink's place and stepped in. "Blue! Where have you been?" Ink greeted from the couch. Dream looked at me as he smiled wide.

"Somewhere. I went somewhere..."
