Alphatale: Broken!Gradient

The Anti-Void

Gradient...he had been running for...he has no idea how long. Everything, it was happening so fast for Gradient, it was happening too fast. His mind is simply focused on trying to run away as much as he can and the to lure Ink Sans, distract him from attempting to try and access the Omega Timeline, so that it can finally go into lockdown, and prevent Ink Sans from entering. There might be some pocket dimensions where CORE Frisk will allow some access to and from, from Out-Codes that Ink has no way to access on his own, but in the Alternate Universes, they can't allow that to happen, since Ink has accessed the Omega Timeline when he was still his normal self, and him going inside of the Omega Timeline would he one heck of a nightmare for them.

And for Gradient, he is now doing nothing more than fleeing for his life, as Ink Sans, is relentless in trying to catch him. But Gradient is also relentless in trying to avoid getting captured by Ink Sans for as much as he can. Gradient than landed in an empty Genocide Underfell, as he ran away through the snow, and as he turned around, Ink made a portal, and nearly tried to tackle him. But Gradient ducked, and at the same time, made a portal for himself to dive into.

Gradient this time, landed in Paperjam's pocket dimension, as the portal above closed quickly, and he looked around...to see the art that he had made for Paperjam to have. Gradient looked sad, as he touched it, and feels like he should take it. So without any further hesitation, he took his art piece back, put it, somewhere, and began to run around the maze that made his brother's pocket dimension. But as he ran around to try and find a different alternate universe to go to, he looks, and sees Ink Sans is flying up there, and has found him. He blends very well with the white space, but some black parts of his clothing made him noticeable, even when he is trying to camouflage into the background.

This made Gradient scared, as Ink tried to charge at him, but Gradient teleported to another part of the maze, as Ink crashed into the ground, and than looked around to see that Gradient is not here. He than began to use his Ungodly Strength to break and destroy the maze, in an effort to find him. But Gradient, finding a type of universe to go to, made another portal, and went through it with little time to lose.

He went through the portal, and went into Killertale, in Snowdin...which is empty. Gradient sighed, as he held his face by his hands, and he than spoke out to himself.

"Oh stars...how-ow did it come to-o this-is?"

Gradient rubbed his face in his hands, as he then looked around, and tries to see if there is any food that he should get, because while he is not hungry, which he never does, he still likes to enjoy the taste of food. Luckily, there is a Nice Cream cart, and so he got a Nice Cream, and began to eat it to feel better.

"Hmm...choc-oclate."

Timeskip...

Gradient has stopped for a little break in Killertale, since Killer Sans is with Nightmare and won't be a problem for him in a while. This allowed him to rest and gather his strength, and would immediate train and hone in on the skills of creativity, and tries to make himself much more faster than ever before, in hopes that he can keep up with his father, Ink. He had hit in Killertale for an entire week. But eventually, the hiding spot in this AU will not last, when Ink Sans attempted to consume it with Gradient inside of it, and because of that, he had to go to another Universe for him to jump to, so that he can survive. The consumption looked like a black hole appearing in the middle of a random location, and than, reality would get sucked into it, as black tendrils with hands at the end pull the alternate universe inside of Ink's mouth. And because of this, Gradient had to flee as much as he can in order to avoid getting consumed by him.

Gradient hopped and jumped from Universe to Universe, as he tries all that he can ti stay alive and not get consumed by what was once his father. But sometimes his escape can land him into even more trouble. Such as when he accidentally landed into Insanity Sans's Universe.
