Dream and Blue dragged Ink back to there secret hideout, away from Nightmare and the others after being defeated.
Ink didn't show what emotion he was feeling, but Dream and Blue it was sadness, and heartbreak- even if he doesn't have a heart.
Once the portal closed, Blue, Dream, and Ink sat on the floor for a while. "...Who was he? The new guy?" Blue asked Dream, "Unsure, I don't recognize him" Dream told Blue.
"...I do" Ink said in a monotone voice. Blue and Dream looked at Ink expecting an explanation. "His name is Reaper...he's the god of death, who cannot be killed, at least from what I know from my knowledge...I knew him as a five year old, but he disappeared from Bird sight 20 years ago, and now he's back" Ink told them.
"Why haven't you told us about him?" Dream asked, "I didn't think it was important. He was a missing child from his AU, and I did look for him, but I found him in his own AU, so I didn't bother him...I haven't checked his AU in a while, but I didn't expect him to...help THEM!" Ink said, slamming his fist onto the floor.
Blue jumped in fear, Dream understood the situation, and sighed, putting his hand on Ink shoulder.
"There's no need to get upset, we didn't know he was coming, there's no way we would be able to beat someone who can't die, nor a god that kills people and gains L.O.V.E almost everyday! But next time we'll be ready for him!" Dream said with a strong look of certainty, giving Ink a thumbs up.
Blue smiled in the background.
Ink smiled, his eyelights coming back in his sockets, with the colors of a dark purple, and a dark green as well.
Dream smiled that Ink was okay again. "Anyways, let's go and heal ourselves, that was a tough battle to be honest" Blue said, standing up, helping Dream and Ink up.
As they walked in the castle, hidden away from the bad sanses, they walked towards the nurses office.
There nurse was Alter sans. He'd usually stay over in the castle every time Nightmare and the others were stirring up trouble.
Blue knocked on the door, as Alter quickly got up and answered it, seeing the damage of the three of them. "Oh gosh! What happened?!" Alter asked.
As much as he's a boy, he sure does act motherly.
"Come in, let me heal you!" Alter said, pushing us inside. Alter sat up in three beds, and rushed to get all of the medical materials he needed to heal us.
It was simple really. It was rubbing alcohols and bandages. Nothing special.
Alter started with Blue first. He started pouring the alcohol on his wounds. Blue hissed at the burn, but it soon went away. Then Alter would heal the wound with green magic. If the wound left a scar, he'd cover it with bandages so the scar wouldn't open again.
He did this with Ink and Dream. The biggest wounds usually or always leave a scar, and Alter would cover it up.
Once they were all healed, they thanked Alter.
"Oh it was nothing!" Alter would always reply.
"Uhm- Hey Alter?" Ink called before leaving with Dream and Blue, "Yes Ink?" Alter replied, tilting his head.
"I'm about to call the others to a meeting, just to warn you- since your apart of it all as well" Ink said chuckling a bit in his sentence.
Alter smiled with a chuckle, "Thank you for telling me, I'll be there when it starts!" Alter said. Ink nods as Dream, and Blue follow him out the nurses room.
"Alright, I'll call the others, Dream, Blue please get the meeting room ready" Ink told him. "No problem!" Dream said, "You can count on us!" Blue said with his adorable smile.
Ink smiled weakly, and soon teleported to another part of the castle.
While Blue and Dream got the meeting room ready, Ink had contacted everyone in the star sanses.
At 4:00 pm they would meet, giving Ink enough time to practice what to say, and what the topics are.
While Ink, Dream and Blue got prepared, Nightmare and the others are back in the mansion healing themselves.
Reaper wasn't really wounded, his wings, and back just hurt a little. The others healed themselves, while Reaper stayed out of there way.
The rest of the team was busy, and Reaper didn't really knew what to do, so he went over to the burnt kitchen.
A tray of burn cookies were on the counter. The whole kitchen looked like the black void.
Reaper rubbed his boney finger on the counter, soot was covering it all. Reaper huffed at the disgusting, dirty counter.
At least Reaper knows how to clean up after himself. Mostly because Papyrus wouldn't stop talking about it.
Reaper chuckled at the thought, but his happiness was gone as quickly as it came.
Papyrus lied...he tell himself He's not good, my brother should never lie to me...I'll always be a bad guys...
Reaper inhaled and exhaled, and walked deeper into the kitchen to find some cleaning supplies.
Nightmare saw Reaper enter the kitchen, but didn't do anything since he was healing himself.
Reaper found a sponge near the sick, and turned on the faucet, and soaked the sponge, letting it take in all the water.
Soon he squished all the water out, and wiped the counters. Reaper did this constantly till the counters were clean, then he went on with the cabinets, and the draws, and the wall, and soon the floor.
Reaper cleaned the kitchen all by himself. He even threw away the burn cookies...no one was going to eat them anyways.
Reaper was covered in soot, but nothing but a shower could help- that is, if Nightmare has a shower.
Reaper left the kitchen clean, and walked over to Horror who was healed, sitting on the couch in the living room.
"Hey, do you know where the bathroom is? Cross never showed it to me during the tour" Reaper said.
Horror smiled widely, with a toothy grin, a bit of blood visible in his teeth. It brought chills down his spine.
"Sure pal, I'll show you the bathroom" Horror said, standing up. He walked over to Reaper, and passed him, close to touching him. It scared Reaper of how close he was.
"Follow me!" Horror said as he continued to walk. Reaper followed him, as Horror showed him the bathroom. "Here it is," Horror said, "Enjoy" Horror added before retreating back into the living room.
Reaper opened the door, which showed a bathroom as he walked in locked the door. Reaper stripped himself of his cloak and clothing, leaving all his dirty clothes on the floor, and turned on the water.
The water was cold at first, but then soon warmed up. He turned the shower on, and hopped in, cleaning himself of all the dirt, and soot on himself.
As Horror at on the couch, he heard the sound of water, and smiled sinisterly, and stood up. Passed the bathroom Reaper was in, and walked into another bathroom near by.
Horror entered the bathroom, and chuckled to himself, as he flushed the toilet.
Horror waited for a reaction.
...
...
...
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH COOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDD!!!!!!" Reaper screamed from the bathroom.
Horror laughed hysterically in the bathroom, laying on the floor, crying of laughter. Cross walked by with a handful of clothes, and saw Horror on the floor laughing, and looked at him weirdly, but ignored it one he passed.
Soon the water warmed up, and Reaper quickly cleaned himself and got out the shower. Reaper shivered a little, VERY confused as to why the water random went cold.
Reaper wrapped himself in a bath towel, grabbed his dirty clothing, and teleported in his room, to see Cross, putting clothes on his dresser.
Cross turned to see Reaper with no clothes on, and only a bath towel. Cross blushed a lilac color and covered his eyes with his hands.
Reaper blushed as well, but he wasn't embarrassed.
"I'm!-...I'M SORRY!!!!" Cross yelled before running out the room, slamming the door close.
You could hear from outside the hall Horror laughing louder because of Cross, and Cross arguing with Horror with how stupid he is.
Reaper looked at the clothes on the dresser, and walked over to them, dropping the dirty clothes on the ground.
The clothes weren't special, but some of them had a bit of a design in them, but Reaper decided to wear the clothes he's comfortable with and wore black.
Reaper walked back out, and the hallways was empty. Reaper didn't know where the others went.
Reaper walked in the living room, Horror was replaced by Dust. Reaper shrugged and soon got hungry, and walked into the kitchen to make something.
While Reaper cooked, the meeting was in place. Everyone who was notified of Ink was summoned.
And soon it hit four o'clock, and the meeting started.
"So! There's a reason I summoned you all" Ink said, chocked a bit from the fight. Ink continued, "Nightmare has a new member in his team" Ink said. The others gasped, and started mumbling, Bird stayed quiet. Soon Dream quiet them all and Ink continued.
"The new members name is Reaper. He's faster, stronger, he's more powerful then all of us combined. He has a lot of L.O.V.E, but not as much as Error when he's serious, and I'm not sure if it's safe to meet Nightmare in battle anymore" Ink said.
"Impossible! He couldn't be THAT powerful! I mean, Error is at a WAY higher L.V how could it not be save to battle anymore?" Sci said.
"The only reason for that is because I'm the opposite of Error, I am the other balance from destruction. But I don't know any Sans that's the opposite of death" Ink said.
"I doubt any Toriel would help us without getting a panic attack, leading themselves to- well, DEATH!" Mafia said.
"Well then what should we do? None of us are strong enough to beat him! Not even Ink!" Blue exclaimed.
"I'm not sure" Sci said.
"...Why don't we start out with Reaper weaknesses, use them against him?" Alter asked. "Reaper not the type of person to have a weakness..." Bird said.
His fingers were at his mouth, his body leaned on them. Bird had a concentrated thoughtful expression. "Reaper a fast learner, he's very adaptable to new areas, and really...his only weakness is to follow his soul..." Bird said.
"Follow his soul?" Ink asked, "I only have a hunch, a feeling in my bones, but when my Alphys died...Reaper was gone...If I'm going off his name, he can kill things with one touch, am I right?" Bird asked, raising a brow.
Ink nodded. "So that means all the furniture in my house while he was there, was rotten because of him. Alphys usually doesn't leave the house unless necessary...the day she disappeared, Reaper also disappeared as well, a few days later, we saw Alphys dust in the ground. We knew it was her because her phone was there as well...I don't think Reaper would kill Alphys by will, more like a pull" Bird said.
Ink hummed, while the other mumbled. G Sans growled, "That still doesn't solve the fact that he attacked Ink, Dream and Blue. We need a balance, we need a new form of life that will help us!" G Sans protested.
"If we do find a source of 'life' doesn't mean they won't die. Reaper kills life, so if we DO find a source of life doesn't mean that they'll be hard to kill" Swapfell said, crossing his arms.
"Does Reaper like anything or anyone?" Sci asked, "Not that we know of" Ink said. "What about family?" Alter asked, "I don't think he cares for them if he ran away from his AU" Ink responded.
"Maybe he cares for Nightmare and the others?" Alter said, "Well we wouldn't be able to lay a finger on them" G Sans said, taking the cigarette out of his mouth and flicking it away.
Blue growled at G's cigarette.
"Uhm-...Maybe we can create a new form of life! Ink can make a swap version of his AU right?" Alter asked.
Everyone liked that idea. Ink thought about it, "It would have to be hidden. If Nightmare figure out that were making an opposite version of Reaper, he'd send Error to destroy it, and Reaper might just tag along with him..." Ink said.
"Then you'll make it near the AUs that Error doesn't care about, the AUs that can't be destroyed easily, since there developed!" Dream said.
"Yeah! Some AUs Error doesn't attack 'cause it be to difficult, if you make it around those areas, then he won't notice it as much!" Blue said.
"That still doesn't mean it's save to create. Error can sense if I've made a new AU, so I'd probably need reinforcements" Ink said.
"Maybe we can make a decoy, at the same time you make the opposite AU" Sci said.
"What are you suggesting?" Swapfell asked, "I'm saying that Ink makes a decoy AU with nothing in it. It could be in the open so Error could go to that one first, some of us could stay in the empty AU so we can distract Error while Ink makes the swap AU of Reapertale." Sci said.
"What makes you think Error won't have backup?" G sans asked, crossing his arms with an angry expression, "At least he's giving suggestions, unlike someone else!" Swapfell muttered, "What was that punk?!" G sans yelled, standing up from his seat ready to fight.
"Hey! This is helping!" Alter yelled.
Lust grabbed his jacket tightly, he had a nervous, insecure expression, looking down.
"Does anyone have any ideas?" Alter asked, looking at everyone.
"...Why don't we send some people to the decoy AU, and some to the real AU...so if they do come to the real one, we'll be ready???" Lust suggested.
G Sans didn't argue, he knows Lust well and knows he's becoming insecure about his body. G Sans smiled at Lust for speaking up.
"Yeah, that could work" Ink said, with a smirk.
Lust sighed in relief that everyone thought it was a good idea.
"When shall we start Ink?" Dream asked, "Not soon, that's for sure! I still wanna get more information on Reaper, and what Nightmare might be planning for him, 'cuz I don't think Nightmare would let just ANYONE on his team unless he had full faith in them" Ink said.
The others nodded. "Welp! This meeting is adjourn!" Ink said, as the others started to leave to go back home.
Bird ran up to Ink before he left, "Hey! Ink!" Bird called for his attention, Ink turned and saw Bird, "Yeah?" he asked, "I was wondering if I could try to talk to Reaper...maybe get some sense in him" Bird said.
Bird had a worried expression. Ink sighed, and gave a warm smile, "Sure you can!" Ink said, Bird smiled, "But! If Reaper doesn't listen...then I'm afraid your going to have to accept his as your enemy" Ink said, placing his hand on Bird shoulder, giving him a serious look.
Bird nodded with determination in his eyes, "I'll try!" Bird said.
"I hope so, cuz if you don't, we might have to result to killing Reaper..." Ink said, before walking off.
Bird looked a bit anxious, but nodded. G Sans came from behind Bird, and roughly grabbed Bird shoulders, making him jump in fear, wide-eye to who that might be.
G Sans laughed, grabbing his stomach, laughing out loud.
Lust was next to G Sans, smirking.
Bird turned around, and saw G Sans.
"Quit it!" Bird told G Sans.
G calmed down a bit, "I'm s-sorry hehah, it's just soo funny s-seeing you in fearahaha!" G said as he starting laughing again.
Bird huffed at G Sans, as Lust giggled lowly. "Anyways! I have someone to find! See you later!" Bird said, before opening a portal and leaving.
"Was it okay to scare him?" Lust asked, "Eh! He'll get over it, wanna get some nice-cream?" G Sans asked Lust.
"Actually, I was thinking that we get me some new clothing" Lust said, G Sans raised a brow, "Why?" G Sans asked, Lust got nervous, "Uhm!- I-It's just getting c-cold brrrrr! Y-You know w-wearing clothes that s-show too much b-bone in c-cold weather is b-bad and can cause pneumonia, and s-such!" Lust said stuttering a lot.
G Sans gave Lust a suspicious look, causing Lust to sweat a little. G Sans shrugged it off, "Alright then! We can go to the store" G Sans said.
Lust sighed in relief, while G Sans smirked at Lust knowing Lust was nervous.
"Follow me, I know a nice store to go to!" G Sans said. Lust nodded as G Sans opened a portal. Lust went first, and G followed.
