Fallenverse

Realization

It's been a few days since Dream and Blue left to live their own lives somewhere in a distant AU. Probably gone for good.

Meanwhile, Ink was troubled. He had been sleepless for days after he found out that Fate was the one who destroyed his AU and took away his soul. He can't believe the one whom he worshiped as a goddess his entire life was nothing but a sadistic manipulator.

Was everything the goddess told him to do just a lie so they could please themselves like they were all characters of a book?
If so, then his whole life has been a lie.

The deity lied to him about everything. Fate always said he was her child and gave him the entire Multiverse as his playground. He obliviously accepted it without knowing the consequences.

He messed up countless timelines and copied multiple universe to please the deity, unknowingly, he was torturing Error in the process.

Ink never thought about why he destroyed. Fate always told him that he was the villain that kept destroying the AUs and he must stop him. When in reality, he was just keeping the balance safe. The balance that the deity never mentioned to Ink.

It made him furious. Ink was being manipulated since the day he lost his soul. His eyes flickered into red targets and his fake emotions turned on his rage.
He has to apologize to Error after being stupid enough to think he was the good guy in these stories.

He put his hand into his pocket and took out a blue string in his hand. He strummed the string to call Error and soon enough, a glitchy portal opened beneath him, causing him to fall into the portal.

He screamed out as he fell through, waiting for the impact to come. But it never came, instead he was being held by familiar blue strings that belonged to a glitchy person he knows.

He looked around and saw that he was in Outertale. Error was knitting some scarves while having an annoyed look because Ink was there and he didn't want to waste his time with Ink's bullsh*ts.

"What do you want, Squid?" He asked sternly as he focused on his knitting, not even sparing a glance at the artist.

Ink inhaled some air to calm his non-existent lungs. He pieced together the words in his mind to get his sayings straight and genuine.

He cleared his non-existent throat and proceeds to talk. But Error butted in at the last second.

"If you're here to lecture me about destroying then I'm leaving." Error said while opening a portal, about to leave.

"Wait! I wasn't going to lecture you! I just came to apologize!" Ink blurted out. Error stopped his tracks. "What do you mean, apologize? What kind of game are you trying to play?" He asked, still suspicious of Ink apologizing and assumed he was faking it.

"And why should I believe you? You tortured me for centuries by creating those stupid AU copies!" Error said while furiously glitching.

"Look, ever since I had that conversation with you and Dream, I've been thinking whether what you both said was true or not." Ink said.

"Of course they're true, you brainless idiot! I've been trying to tell you every f*cking time, but NO, you thought I was a liar and beat the sh*t out of me every time we meet!" Error ranted out as he tightened the strings on Ink, making him wince.

"L-Look, I-I get you're mad a-at me. I want to make things right between us. No more Creation and no more Destruction." Ink offered. Error looked at him suspiciously and decided to let him go after a few minutes.

Ink held out a hand for Error to seal their Truce with each other. As Error was about to grab his hand, he felt an agonizing pain in his head, causing him to glitch out and fall to the ground while clutching his skull.

"You cannot do that!"

"You don't deserve it!"

"I will never allow this!"

Fate screamed into his mind and tortured him with more words. Ink looked at him and felt pain in his head as well. Fate was speaking to him.

"What are you doing, my child?"

"You know he's the enemy."

"Do as you are told and don't do something stupid ever again."

Ink growled as he fought the pain in his head. He crawled towards Error and immediately grasped on one of his hands for comfort.

Ink looked up to the endless skies and began rebelling against the deity.

"Your days of manipulation are over, Fate! I'll never listen to you anymore! Even if I have to live with this splitting headache for the rest of my life!"

"If you won't obey, then I'll force you!" She growled back, bringing more pain to their minds as if they were having the worse seizure ever.

Their screams of agony could be heard for miles. Error had an idea and managed to open a portal to the Anti-void beside him. Their screeches echoed inside the Anti-void, hoping someone would hear them, and alas.

Somebody came.
