In the morning Horror made breakfast for everyone. Other Sanses came to eat their scrambled eggs, but Dust didn't show up. Horror got disappointed about it. Did Dust get mad at him? Would they ever become friends? He tried to be kind to him, but maybe Murder was just emotionally cold. At last Dust appeared at the table. He had slept in. Horror offered a breakfast to him, but he refused to eat it.
Dust: "Nah, I'll pass. You can eat it. I bet you are hungrier than me."
Horror cheered up from the thoughtful words of his new acquaintance. Maybe he would have a chance to get to know him better.
The days passed and the skeletons practiced hard. They went to peaceful AUs where living monsters were easy to kill. The bad guys watched from the sidelines as each member demonstrated their own fighting skills. They wondered how they could combine their fighting styles to make them stronger as a group. Then they tried to fight in pairs. They learned each other's tricks fast.
One day Nightmare ordered everyone for a meeting. He told the day that happens every 500 years had come at last. The day an apple of true feelings appears on the tree of feelings. And Nightmare wanted that apple at any cost.
Killer: "What's so special about that apple?"
Error: "It would be better to be special, otherwise this whole thing is just stupid."
Nightmare: "Did I give a permission to speak? Let's go."
Nightmare created a portal and sent his henchmen to the Dreamtale. In front of them opened a new world. Everything seemed calm, but something was really wrong. Everyone could sense a negative atmospehere. There were no citizens nearby, but ambiance was still tense.
Nightmare: "And remember, it is not an ordinary apple. It grows at the root of the tree."
The bad guys approached the tree of feelings. The mission seemed too easy. Sanses looked confusingly at each other as they was suspecting something bad is going to happen. Suddenly Star Sanses appeared opposite them.
Ink: "Oh no. The bad gays are already here!"
Nightmare: "Shit. I knew they were coming. Killer and Horror, you take Swap Sans. Cross and Murder, you take Ink. Error and I take Dream. This time, don't screw up."
Star Sanses set off to run towards the tree. Their enemies took up their weapons and set out to chase them. They sent an army of gaster blasters in front of good Sanses to force them to stop. Dream, Ink and Blueberry jumped out of the way at the last minute before blasters started to shoot. Ink told others to split up. He tried to move on but Cross and Dust prevented his passage. Ink took up his brush and prepared to fight.
Ink: "Cross...Why?"
Cross answered nothing. He took his blade and attacked Ink, who repulsed the hits with his brush. From the brush spread spots of color everywhere. Ink dodged the knives that came at him. Suddenly he felt burning pain in his arm. Dust had been able to suprise him from behind with a blaster. He was amazed at the strength of his enemy. They clearly had improved their fighting skills. Ink knew he can't win two strong skeletons so he had to use cunning.
At the same time Blueberry defended himself eagerly from Horror's and Killer's knives. He fought really fast so bad guys had trouble to hit him. He fought back with devotion as a royal guard should. He used bones and blasters to keep his enemy far from him. Horror and Killer fought lazily. They waited for Blue to get tired first before they attacked by force. It didn't take long until that blue dressed Sans started to sweat and pant. Blueberry realized he was in trouble. Horror and Killer came menacingly closer. Ink noticed his friend in danger and tried to yell at him, but he was too busy on his own adversaries. He decided to make a quick move. He let the enemies come near him. When they attacked, he slammed Cross with a wet brush into his face and then poked Dust directly into the face with the other end of brush. Cross landed on his knees to wipe the wet ink off his face as Dust staggered back and fell on his back. Ink shouted for Blueberry to come closer to him. First Blue began to slowly withdraw using blaster but then he stopped. He could not accept as a royal guard to retreat cowardly. He gathered his strength and attacked Killer who parried easily the bones that came towards him. In the middle of the fight, Blue noticed Horror creeping behind him. He threw a bone straight at Killer and same time he sent a bone behind him. Killer cut the bone to half, but didn't spot the bone coming from behind so quickly. He stumbled into a bone and fell to the ground. He tried to stand up but he could not move, because blue bones had pierced him. Blueberry had gotten him out of battle. Next he formed long bone in his hand and pushed Horror back with it. Horror took a step back directly on a wet splotch, which was from Inks brush. He slipped and fell straight on the ground. Blueberry took out a gaster blaster and aimed at the creepy skeleton. In the distance Dust shook his skull to resuscitate better from Ink's attack. He looked around and saw that his friend was getting a hard blow. He stood up quickly and run towards his buddy. Dust formed bone shield between Horror and the blaster just when it started to shoot.
Dust: "Are you okay?"
Horror: "Yeah, thanks to you."
They looked at each other gently. Dust held out his hand to Horror to help him up. As he lifted his friend up, a blaster appeared and shot Dust directly to the back. He fell on Horror.
Horror: "Are you okay?"
Dust: "I guess. Not one blaster will break me........."
Horror: "What's wrong?"
Horror saw his buddy blushing. Then he got embarrassed when realizing for himself that their posture was unnecessarily intimate.
Killer: "Guys, there is no time to have sex right now. Come help me."
Both skeletons stood up and went to help their teammate.
A little further Dream tried to protect a silver apple, which just had appeared from the underground. He had a bow with arrow in his hand, which he pointed at Nightmare and Error.
Dream: "This apple is not for you and you know that, brother. It has lot of positive vibes, so it should be given to the one in need to get stronger. So please, let it be."
Nightmare: "It's full of negative energy too. It all depends on what kind of person eats it. It makes me so strong that I can destroy everything I want with just a click of my fingers. Then I can get rid of my subordinates one by one."
Error: "What?"
Nightmare: "Shut up! Go take that apple. That weenie skeleton is just bluffing with his little plastic toy."
A groaning Error walked towards the apple. Suddenly he dodged the arrow which almost hit him. The arrow hit directly into Nightmare's tentacle.
Dream: "This weenie skeleton CAN use his toy really effective."
Nightmare started to snarl. He wanted to strangle his little brother. Dream continued shooting arrows but soon realized to be at a disadvantage. Being anxious, he grabbed the apple and pulled it off the root. He saw Ink, who had just knocked his opponents to the ground. Dream shouted to Ink to catch the apple and then he threw it to him. Before Ink had caught the apple, blue strings intertwined around the fruit and pulled it straight into Error's grapple. Ink didn't give up. He knocked Error's hand with his brush, causing the apple to fly in the air. The silver feelingfruit landed near Blueberry, who stopped to use his blaster when he noticed it. He tried to reach it, but then Cross kicked it further away from him. Everyone rushed after the rolling apple. Error got the fruit, but then Ink jumped on Error causing both to fall down. Cross jumped on Ink and then others did the same. Every Sans was fought in the same pile. In the battle a cloud of dust rose from ground, which reduced visibility. They were also so close each other that it was hard to see who was fighting who. No one had enough power to use weapons so they punched each other with their fists. Horror fortuitously found the apple and picked it up from the ground. Blueberry noticed it and jabbed fingers straight into Horror's red eye. The fruit fell to the ground again. Dream began to be desperate. He didn't know what to do anymore. Ink encouraged his friend with having an idea, but they had to get the apple first. Next Killer found the fruit. Blueberry tried to catch it from him, but he stopped because Killer pointed his knife at him. Dream was next to Killer and noticed the situtation. He wanted to help his friend so he sneaked behind his enemy and pulled Killer's pants down. Everyone stopped their fight and started to stare at Killer.
Killer: "What the HELL???"
Dream: "Im so sorry, but I run out of ideas."
Cross: "Dude, pull your pants up!"
Killer: "In moments like this I miss the time when I wasn't able to feel any emotions. This is so embarassing."
The fight continued quickly. Ink and Error managed to grab the apple at same time. They took turns trying to pull it to themselves, but both were equally strong. Nightmare didn't bother to fight. He watched angrily from the side as his henchmen seemed just to be fooling around. Suddenly someone grabbed his tentacle and pulled him into the fight. Somehow Dust got to crawl out of the cluster and saw the apple near him. Now he got an excellent chance to catch that damn fruit. The same apple was also seen by Blueberry who had managed to get out of the brawl. The enemies looked at each other before rushing at the target. Dust was slower at running so he took a bone and tripped Swap with it. Blue fell forward, but quickly got up and started to run after him. Murder teleported himself with his last powers to the apple. He had time to pick up the fruit from the ground until suddenly Blue jumped over him and pulled the hood in front of his face. Dust was so confused that he dropped the apple, which Blueberry quickly grabbed for himself.
Dust: "You fucking little sh..."
Blueberry: "Language!!!"
Dust was so angry that his eye began to glow purple. He got totally mad. He gathered all his energy and formed the sky full of sharp bones. Blueberry threw the apple to Ink, who stood behind him. Then Ink painted the doorway in the ground with his brush and told his friends to jump in. They managed to escape at the last minute before the bones reached them. Dust collapsed to the ground. He had given his all. Other Sanses wiped dust off their clothes. Nightmare told his underlings to line up. He checked everyones condition. Error had a gnarled wrist, Horror's eye was almost black, Murder had bleeding from a broken nose, Killer had been disgraced and Cross, well, his face was turned to black. Nightmare opened the portal and grabbed his clown flock with his tentacles.
Nightmare: "Error, you can walk."
Error: "Gladly."
They disappeared into the hole.
