Forte Demolition (Hold)

34

I changed the entirety of chapter 33 so better go check that out of you haven't already, or else this chapter might not make very much sense.... Thank you! :)

(Names if you can't remember!: Ink=quill dream=hope nightmare=bane, fresh=neon geno=carnage Hope this helped!)

I've also decided to just make Erratums dialogue underlined. It's much less painful that way.

Sci approached the large mansion that he knew for sure his friends were in. How? The roof was covered in snow. Somehow they managed to defy the laws of physics in a place laws of physics couldn't be defied.

Sci went up to the door and knocked, and was nearly hit by a chair that was flung out one of those fancy windows people put right next to the door.

"Oh it's just sci. Hi sci! We were wondering where you were!"

Sci opened the door and walked into the main hallway, and saw quill poke his head out from a nearby hallway, with a strainer on his head, probably as a DIY helmet.

"Oh thank toby. We thought you were... Someone else."
Hope walked out from behind quill and shut the door behind sci.

Sci cocked his head to the side.
"Who did you think I was?"

Quills eyelight turned to a blue square and question mark.
"I felt another presence in this multiverse... It's gone now, but we couldn't be too sure, ya know?"

"Quill lost broomy, which means he loses, like, half his powers."
Hope shrugged.

Quill hunched his shoulder while holding a tiny paintbrush.
"All I have is broomy #2, and he can only make tiny things like the currency in this world or cellphones."

Sci's eyelights widened at the mention of the two demi-gods.
"Yeah. Uh. About those presences you felt..."

Hope and quill both turned their full attention to sci.
"You know something about the presence."
Hope stated.

Sci hummed.
"Uh... There were two presences. I know the reason their gone."

"And...?"
Quill stared at the younger skeleton.

Sci breathed put a puff of air.
"I found error."

"WHAT!?"
Hope and quill shouted at once.

Bane walked in at that same moment the two other skeletons stood dumbfounded.
"What's all the shouting about? I'm trying to read!"
Bane muttered.

"I found E-"

Sci didn't even finish his sentence as he was suspended in the air, suddenly Banes face two inches from himself.
"W h e r e  I s  h e ."
Bane growled out, doing his trademarked scary face.

"He didn't tell me where he was going!! I was there, two gods showed up in attempt to kill him, then reaper, geno, and fresh from our multiverse just showed up and killed them!! Then all three of them just left!"
Sci looked like he was about to cry.

Bane let him go and sighed.
"Fine. Did you at least talk to him?"

Sci smoothed out his jacket and nodded.
"Yeah. Apparently he was on a field trip with this multiverses ink and blue. I was at the museum exploring, when he just approached me. It was weird talking to him so calmly without fighting. He also goes by Erratum now, since there's another error here."

Quill grinned at the mention of ink.
"We know ink! Maybe ink knows where he lives!"
Quills eyelights switched to stars as he finally took the strainer off his head.

"Yeah... Tomorrow."
Hope motioned toward the windows to the sunset.

"What makes you think we can't go see him right now?"
Bane glared and crossed his arms.

"It's impolite! We can't just burst down the door and barge in there at the middle of the night, we don't even know if he wants to see us!"
Hope raised his voice a bit.

Bane looked away. He was much more active at night, being an entire shadow and all, but it was understandable. Apparently according to sci, Error now Erratum, had a long day too. He should let him rest.

Tomorrow they would go find ink, (or nightmare, or dream), find erratum, hug him, apologize, and then.... Then.... What would they do afterwards??

"Broski... Your place is hella empty. I mean like, I know your anti-void is empty too, but this? Your in a new universe, you could at least decorate..."
Neon looked to the living room, where the only furniture was a dark blue couch and matching futon next to it, along with a coffee table with a bowl of chocolate on it. Blue strings hung from the ceiling.

Erratum turned to give neon a funny look.
"Kinda hard to learn to decorate when you've been stuck In a white void your entire life."

Neon opened his mouth to say something but shut it after nothing came out.

"Whose this little guy?"
Both Neon and Erratum turned to see Carnage on the couch, with Star in his lap, Death cooing the happy dog.

"That's star. I found him dying in an ally way and apparently he can do magic."
Erratum sat on the other side of Carnage, causing Star to shuffle in between the two. Neon leaned on the couch behind them.

"Are you planning on reuniting with ink and nightmare and the others anytime soon?"
Carnage asked, continuing to pet Star who happily leaned into him.

Erratum recoiled at the question.

"I mean, ya don't have to... We could always create fake IDs and teleport to another country or something."
Neon grinned at Erratum, causing him to relax.

Nah. It was inevitable that I see them anyways. I should've known that running from my problems never work anyways. Plus I miss nightmare."
Erratum mumbled out that last part, adjusting his scarf to fit over his mouth.

Star panted at the happy energy, relaxing and letting his pupils turn into purple swirls.

"Heh. He looks like ink."
Death chuckled.

Erratum perked up at that.
"That means he trusts you."

Death gasped and made unintelligible cute-aggression noises, air petting star, who was just happy with the attention.

I am honestly so happy to finally continue this book. I thought I ran out of ideas a while ago, but I was hit with inspiration and have stuff planned for this book. Thank you all so much for the support! It makes me so motivated when people genuinely enjoy reading my books! ♥️♥️♥️

(Also please please please make a comment if you find a grammar mistake, spelling mistake, or just me being stupid and calling a character by their old name. Thanks!)
