Multiverses

Wounds from the past

- A magic inhibitor necklace and a ring that opens portals? That's pretty useful, too bad I didn't get that idea while destroying that nerd's AU. But go on. - Although Dream didn't care, to his surprise that Killer's story was entertaining enough to keep him entertained while a pathlighter didn't approach.

- The plan after that was divide and conquer, that depressive hooded guy kidnapped Blue but was dumb enough to betray the boss afterwards. Not that it would make much difference since I would have found an excuse later to kill him anyway. - Killer remarked as he noticed the ring on his finger, but was frustrated to learn that it wouldn't work here.

- Wait, you wanted to kill Dust? Why did you want to kill him? - From the moment his story began to be told, this was the first noticeable reaction that Shattered Dream had. It was easy to recognize a slight amazement in his voice.

- Yes, and why should that be so surprising? He was a jerk who only allied himself with the boss out of self-interest, he had no real loyalty to him, so much so that he let that smiling little guy into his head and betrayed him afterwards. How stupid could anyone be to be manipulated by his own prisoner? - Feeling the negative emotions from the monster next to him, Dream could sense the deep contempt this Killer had for the hooded skeleton.

- This may come as a surprise to you, but after my brother's death, I became the new gang leader, and my Killer and Dust were brother in arms, close friends. And I have been here long enough to know that this kind of relationship is more common than it seems. - Upon hearing this sentence, Killer was mature enough to make a gesture with his mouth as if he were vomiting, which generated an irritated roll of the eyes from his listener.

- So the other Killers are just weaker, more pathetic versions of me, because in order to complete the boss's final objective I was the only one who managed to stay by his side until the end, all the others fell. - Said Killer as he clapped his hand on his chest in pride.

- Yes, yes, I get it, you want to start a fan club for my brother. Now continue the story before I throw you into the darkness outside. - Figuring that the gift of annoying others was something that all Killers possessed, Dream remained observing his surroundings in search of a pathlighter while listening to the rest.

- Long story short, first we had a quick alliance with the destroyer to kill Ink. - While mentioning this fact, Killer noticed a slight spasm in Dream next to him, but decided to ignore it. - Soon afterwards we betrayed him and together with Horror we killed that filthy glitch, although I had to kill Horror in the process. Which honestly I don't miss because he was also on my list of targets to be eliminated.

- Do you have a fetish for killing your teammates? - Said Dream in a disgusted tone. Suddenly a thought of regret at having agreed to adjust this monster popped into his mind.

- No, if there was someone truly loyal to him like me, I would never hurt him. - But to Shattered's surprise, Killer replied in a serious tone. Confirming that somehow the alternate version of his brother had somehow managed to create a fanatic. - After that it wasn't too hard to do the rest, with all the EXP I gained I was able to easily kill Blue and his brother as well as defeat Dust and the guardian of positivity's allies. As for the guardian himself... - Realizing how strange it was to say this to his listener, Killer continued. - Nightmare turned his brother into stone and smashed him to the ground, resulting in thousands of shards. In the end there was just us, the winners... until that Nothing guy showed up and... well, here I am.

- Defeat. - Dream whispered.

- What?

- You said you defeated Dust, didn't you kill him?
