   Why did it have to be this way? I ask myself as I stare at my other half, bow in hand, facing off again for the fourth time this week.

  "You know, Dream, you're doing soo well, why don't you have a break forever." My brother sneered from across the battlefield. "Ne-never!! I won't let you hurt this au brother! I won't give up!"  'The balance is already so over tipped towards negativity that if I fail this au it will most likely tip fully! I can't allow this to happen; the fate of my comrades and the multiverse rests on my shoulders.' Error and Ink have already fallen to Nightmare for not joining him or staying out of the way. The two of them were in a truce when Nightmare started to go crazy and bring up the plan of multiverse domination. When they tried to work together to suppress Nightmare to keep the multiverse stable, they got imprisoned and shattered for trying. They long ago dusted in front of his once caring brother. 

   "Nightmare stop and leave this au! You're going to destroy the multiverse with your arrogance!" 

  "Ha, nice try Dream play the hero all you want, you will fall just like all the rest! Oh, and I know I can't kill you the same way as that squid and glitch, after all, that pesky soul link that that foolish woman did to us." I stared wide sockets at the cold and manic look in that cyan eyelight. That is when I was hit with an awful thought. 

   'This is not the same Nightmare I faced for years. That Nightmare would not sacrifice his gang to show he had no attachments; when he worked so hard for them to be better. That Nightmare is gone, replaced with a manic shell, a parasite that was waiting below the surface of his power.' 

    We fight for what seems like hours, for all he knew, that's the truth. But then all of a sudden the attacks stop suddenly. I felt my hope grow. 'Maybe I can drive him out of this au. Not all happiness is lost and I can repair this au and start to balance the multiverse.' 

     But that hope is crushed when I was stabbed from behind right through the chest. I was too low on magic to sense the attack from behind. "It's time for you to stay out of my way, dream, now there is no one against me, you just rest now and die for me " he says with a cold tone and a sharp manic smile as he drops me on the  bloody and cold ground.

   My soul feels like it is burning; I knew my apple core is slowly corrupting already. I was to warn out to even scream; all I could do was reach out to the already fading form of my brother with my black spotted vision.

                                                                            "N-Nightmare..."                                                                                        

Then I sees it, a button with the word erase.

"Goodbye Dream" 

the au was starting to collapse in on itself. 

    Nightmare was gone already leaving his twin to rot there so they could sever the connection. It hurt, it hurt so bad my whole body ached, my joints set aflame as I stared blankly ahead where Nightmare left me. His eyes were pouring out tears as my chest got more and more tight.

'I failed....I am so sorry, I failed you guys' 

 Then all he knew was darkness.
