Same Person, But So Different (Undertale AU)

The Search (Chp. 7)

DS Cross pov:

I started running towards Nightmare, who just happened to be talking to the weird Ink. I swear, I heard that guy talking to himself. He's weird.

I began saying to Nightmare that Error was gone, but he cut me off.

"Cross, anytime you come up to me or Error like this, it's always for some weird reason like Taco Bell's gone- wait that is important... that's not a good exam-" He was saying.

"IT IS IMPORTANT." I cut him off, shouting.

Great, now I've drawn the attention of the alternate Dream and Nightmare. Aka the goop mess.

I wonder what that goop is made of...

"Then tell me what it is." Nightmare said to me, drawing my attention back to him.

"Error's gone. I can't find him anywhere." I said in a panic.

Nightmare looks around as if to confirm that he's gone. Then he starts panicking. Waving his arms around like a madman.

As if the attention of the alternate Dream and Nightmare wasn't bad enough, now pretty much everyone was watching.

I slowly slid into my scarf.

"Oh I know what's happening here!" The weird Ink exclaimed.

Nightmare stopped freaking out and looked at him.

"Then what is it? AND WHERE IS HE?" Nightmare shouted at him, shaking Ink's shoulders.

Weird Ink just laughed.

"Well, all of our codes are probably tied. So, since my Error left, it would pretty much-- wait, what was I saying? ...................OH YEAH. It would force your Error to go along with him." Ink said very loudly.

I just gave him a disbelieving look.

"Well, since none of us know our way around this Multiverse, cAN YOU GO GET HIM??" Nightmare shouted at the weird Ink.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine. I guess I haaaaaaaaaaaave to." Ink said with a pouty face.

He's really childish. He reminds me a lot of myself.

Weird Ink summoned his paint brush and painted a paint splatter on the ground, jumped through and closed the ink portal.

"You know, I wonder why our Ink didn't do that when we took him to the Fear Cave..." I said to Nightmare.

"We took away his brush when we took him to the Fear Cave dummy." Nightmare responded.

"Oh yeah." I replied with a laugh.

(Go to bottom of the story to find out what a Fear Cave is. The second link is part 2.)

OM Ink pov:

Ahhhhhh. Finally I'm out of that wretched place.

But now I've got to find Error within this entire Multiverse.

EASY PEASY.

~1 hour later~

I lied. This is actually really hard.

WAIT A SECOND.

WHY DON'T I CALL HIM?

I dialed Error's number and he picked up on the second ring.
