Error: "I did, I finally did it Nighty! I found it! I Found IT!!"

Nightmares blood ran cold instantly, his face paled so much. Even with the goop you could see it. The rest of the Nightmare gang seemed confused for a second only to also pale. The rest of them just seemed confused, though Dream noticed his brothers sudden and deepening fear.

Nightmare: "D-don't do this... w-w-w-we can..."

He couldn't even finish his sentence, there was nothing he could do. He knew about it all, the balances Fate, the torture and abuse.

Horror: "Y-y-y-y-you can't do this, who will cook with my bro!?"

Killer: "Who's going to, going to visit the Charas?"

Dust: "Please you're like a mother to us Error, don't leave us!"

Cross could only cry, looking at Error with pleading eyes. Suddenly everyone knew exactly what was going on, instantly everyone was sickened with worry and guilt. This had to be a trap, or a mistake, or something right, RIGHT?! Error wasn't, h-he was to strong for that, he was an unstoppable beast... A force of nature, right? And what Dust said... Error was like a mother to them? That couldn't be right, that went against everything Ink told them. Suddenly a wave of dark emotions flooded the room, Dream started puking instantly. And even those not intune with emotions could fill it. The parasite that protected Nightmare was overwhelmed, and he returned to his passive state. The cause, Error had pulled out his soul. Half the room was in shock, the other half was puking. It was worse than before, the strings tightened as soon as they realized Error's plan.

Error: "I love you guys... take care of yourselves for me."

With that Error cut his soul in halve, feeling relief and joy as he dusted. That should have been it, his consciousness was floating in a sea of black nothingness. But he was still awake, isn't he supposed to be dead? So why... does he hear something, muffled voices that became clearer slowly. They sound familiar, like his but so very different, by the time he realized he could open his eyes. Error felt a strange warmth envelop him, quickly and jarringly opening his eyes he saw. Himself....? No he was different, no scars or at least no visible ones, his tear marks were a little different as well. And he wasn't as glitched as Error was, but he was tall... or was Error short now?

???: "So another one huh? Judging on the state of your soul you were a Fgod Error too huh? Welp welcome to the afterlife... kind of. Truthfully you've been reborn in another multiverse, but it's close enough. No fate, no destruction, no job. Just Freedom and also you're not short, you're a baby. Oh right, Call me Erratum" (I hate how over used that name is, I'm only using it cause it cause it was like the first one used by harrish6 I think... It's hard to keep track.)

Error was completely confused, looking around at himself as best he could, he was shocked to see this Erratum wasn't lying. He really was a baby, and he wasn't glitched anymore? At least, he wasn't glitching, his bones were still black. But they weren't scarred, or broken, or missing. And he wasn't in any pain what so ever, it was a weird feeling to suddenly not be hurt anymore.

Erratum: "Well then, you're the third Error I've found at my door in so many years. I'll have to think of a new name for you, seeing as this multiverse has an Error already. Maybe Malfunction, yea Malfunction."

???: "Mal for short?"

Erratum: "Yea, you like that little Mal?"

???: "Y'know he's probably as old as we are mentally, at least for now."

Erratum: "Hush, let me play the part, we both agreed I was the mom."

???: "Yea, yea, anyway hey kid I'm this Multiverses Error. Erratum was a Fgod Error like you. (Till they took an arrow to the knee, lol) 

The other Error stood up and walked over to Mal and Erratum, patting the babybones on the head gently. Mal was very confused, but the gently warmth that was spreading into his soul was very pleasant. He felt a smile growing on his face, before Erratum and Error awed lightly at his smile. 

Erratum: "Let's go met your brothers, hmm?"

Mal: "Brothers?"

They carried Mal into the living room were two other small Errors, the older looking of the two playing a video game. One looked about 14 and the other looked around 6 maybe 8 at the most. The older one was wearing an outfit that looked more like something Fresh would wear. A bright pink orange and blue jacket, purple shirt, galaxy print leggings, and a rainbow skirt. All topped with a sideways cap that had the Parasites' classic YOLO embroidered on it. The younger was wearing a star patterned nightgown, a blue sweater jacket, pink house slips, and a blue floral headband. 

Erratum: "Malfunction, meet Nox and Glitch. Nox, Glitch, meet Malfunction aka little Mal."

They turned to see their "Mom" holding a baby Error, Glitch smiled widely and ran over to see them better. While Nox simply waved and went back to his game. Mal was shocked by the difference in attitude between everyone. Glitch was hyper like a blue, looking closer Mal noticed Glitch was actually a BlueBerror. He wondered if he fall into the void, was killed off or did he do what Mal did in his old world. And why did they change his name, unless this world err multiverse also had a BlueBerror? Erratum seemed to read Mal's mind and chuckled.

Erratum: "Yea this world has a BlueBerror, their actually the same age as Glitch. That's why we took them in instead of BlueBerror. Also cause their parents didn't want an extra kid. Not that I blame them for that, a random kid that looks just like theirs showing up out of nowhere? I'd be freaked out too, if I was normal."

Error: "Yea, I was weirded out too when you showed up, thought I was going crazy or something."

Nox: "And then you started dating."

Mal's eyes widened at that, this version of Error was basically dating himself!? What the hack made that happen? And did he even want to know? 

Error: "I mean... at least I stopped dating that toxic asshole that shall not be named in this house."

Mal: "Who's he talking about? I know a LOT of toxic asshats! be more specific darn it!"

Erratum: "Don't worry about it Mal, if everything works out you'll never meet who he's talking about."

Mal: "SERIOUSLY?! Can he read my mind or something?!"

Erratum chuckled at Mal's confused look, know full well what he was thinking. But he said nothing, rocking Mal a bit was enough to make them get sleep. 

Everyone: "Welcome to the family Malfunction."

Their last thought before falling asleep was

Mal: "We're a family, huh? Thanks for having me..."
