___________________________________Why? Why did this happen?Error and Cross got caught by Blue and Ink, Kevin was also caught and now he was running away from HIM. Nightmare didn't know where HE was but didn't care, wanting to get as far away from the being as possible. He was alone, knowing that he'll have to help his friends. He teleported back to base, being only an old shack with nothing but an old TV and needed stuff to live in. Dream, the person that chased him down, sighed in defeat. He walked back to his castle, wanting to figure out a way to prevent killing Nightmare.
Paperwork, everytime he signed paperwork; more paperwork seem to come out of nowhere. How was he going to make Nigh- he got an idea, one that might work. He could turn Nightmare into a positive spirit! He contacted Combat( my Mafiatale au), his most trusted fighter." So, do you think this will work?" He asked her." I do think that would work." She said." Then it's s-" he was cut off." But" she said loud and clear." What about the balance? If there is no negativity, the balance would be disrupted." Taken back from her reason, he dismissed her and thought for a while. Was there really a balance? Combat knew everything and is temporarily staying in his castle since she is still figuring out how to return to her multiverse. He decided to ask the scientist to work on the machine. He had one secret, he had the last negative apple in a jar in the entire multiverse. He is going to use his illusion magic to make it look like a golden apple, he'll let Combat hold it since he COULD turn the apple into a positive one. The alarms went off, signalling that Nightmare was back.
He did it!" Thanks Nightmare!" Error thanked Nightmare." Yeah! We owe you!" Cross said, running away from the guards." You owe me! Let's get home first before playing fortnite!" They ran out of the castle in ran in the woods, JR not far behind." Split up!" Doing just that, the ran in different directions." I'll go after Nightmare! Ink, you go after Cross and Blue after Error." They ran after the Meme Squad, also known as their crushes. Yes, Dream had a crush on Nightmare! Ink had a crush on Cross and Blue had a crush on Error. Dream followed Nightmare to a cliff, knowing full well that Nightmare would never jump, or so he thought." No where to go, Nightmare." He said, getting closer to the gaurdian." That's what you think!" He said and jumped, waiting for a tree but saw no trees. Dream was shocked before everything went into slow motion, moving without noticing and jumped after Nightmare. He reached the gaurdian in the nick of time, everything went back to its regular speed." Eeeeep! Let me go!" Nightmare said, trying to get out of Dream's grip. Not responding, Dream flew high into the sky before going to the cliff and landed. Nightmare kept on screaming to let him go.
Meanwhile
" Huh, looks like we are stronger than them" Blue said, having trapped both Error and Cross in his strings." I agree, Blue" Ink said, not waiting for the most exciting part to come." Let us go- eeeek!" Error squeeked when they got shrunken by Blue's magic. They both fell in Blue and Ink's hands, getting close to their faces." Ready Blue?" Ink asked, confusing and scaring their crushes. Blue nodded, opening his maw and lowered Error. Ink did the same, both their crushes in their maws. Tilting their heads back, swallowing them. Screams filled their ears, feeling the struggling from both of their preys in their ecto stomachs.
Back to Dream and Nightmare
Dream held Nightmare close to his chest, shrinking him while not being aware of a certain aggressive chicken coming to him at full speed. Getting hit on the head, Dream accidentally got Nightmare in his mouth and swallowed him. The young gaurdian struggled once he landed in his destination. Kevin tried his to save Nightmare but Dream just teleported the chicken to his apartment, getting stuck in the bathtub. Feeling the struggling getting weaker, he lifted up his shirt to see that Nightmare was getting exhausted. Smiling, he opens his wings and flies back to the JR castle.
3 hours later
Once arriving, the first thing Dream noticed was Blue and Ink sleeping with an arm over their stomachs in his office in chairs. He called Combat, getting a surprisingly dizzy Combat." I'm heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere!" The sound of a thump woke up Blue and Ink, confused why Combat face-planted on the ground." Why is Combat on the floor?" Blue asked." Wish I knew, Blue..." Ink answered." I got spinned by the guards for a type of performance..." She answered, trying to get up but collapsed." You alright, Combat?" Dream asked, getting a bit concerned." If you mean physically, yes." She answered." And mentally?" Blue asked." Not so much, I think I'm gon-" she teleported away, probably to throw up." That was..." Dream didn't want to finish Ink's sentence." Interesting..." Blue finished. Dream sighed, dismissing the other two and teleported to his room. He teleported Nightmare out of his stomach and layed him on bed, turning him back to normal before chaining him to the bed.
6 weeks later
It was time, Dream was finally ready and used his illusion magic. Combat carried the apple while Dream carried Nightmare to the machine, asleep. After arriving, he put Nightmare in the chamber and went to his chamber. Combat was told beforehand about Dream's plan, knowing that this will restore the balance. She put the apple in place and got out, knowing full well that this was going to be dangerous. They turned on the machine and stood back, not wanting to get injured.
After that
The balance has been restored, Dream pretended to look shocked to prevent himself from getting exposed. The scientist were confused while Dream took this chance to say what he had to say." I think negativity is that important if the machine didn't want to function properly..." Dream announced, carrying Nightmare back to his room to protect him.
Meanwhile
Error and Cross were still in the jelly-like-tissue stomachs, having calmed down when Dream announced about the balance.
Six years later
Dream and Nightmare got married, Blue and Error got married, Ink and Cross got married while Combat found a way to return to her multiverse.
The End
