The Cipher's secret (A Bill404 story) [TEMP HIATUS (again (sorry))]

Going passive

(pic is the song I was listening to whilst writing this. As you guessed, does not belong to me)

No POV:

About 5 days after that incident, everyone (well nearly everyone) had pretty much forgotten about Bill's outburst. During this time Bill had been just going around different AU's, causing chaos, getting shouted at by Ink, swiftly teleporting away, making a deal or two and repeat. He found it hilarious seeing Ink's moderately disappointed expression as he turned Hattale to wearing only top hats.

Anyways, he was relaxing in Outertale, trying not to let stuff he doesn't want to remember slip into his mind when none other than the King of Negativity appeared before him. Being the 'victim' of Bill's attack (gravity magic actually kinda hurts if you're not the one using it) he was naturally jumpy around Bill, not wanting to have that strange emotion and sensation that the gravity magic had on him.

"Uhh, heya bud" Bill, who had sensed his presence, convinced calmness and happiness to be his emotions instead of the worry and regret he was actually feeling. "Hi Nightmare! What brings you here? Looking for yours truly or just watching the stars? Either way, you're gonna get what you wanted here!" he said cheerfully.

"I was looking for you actually, sensed your presence here. I was going to invite you to another, smaller meet-up of other bad sanses. Maybe Error will actually be there this time." he mumbled. "I think it should just be my gang, Error, Error 404, me and possibly you there" he said, getting slightly more confident as he went.

 "Sure buddy! How could I ever pass up an opportunity like this? Also, I thought Error would be included in your current gang, no?" Bill asked. "Oh, while he does have a big affiliation with the gang, he actually does his own thing most of the time" "Oh, ok! Anyways, what time is it at?" "Later this evening, 'bout 8 I'd say" "Thanks, I'll come then" "See ya there!" Nightmare said, melting into a puddle of goop, which then disappeared.

About 10 minutes later, in a half-destroyed copy of Chesstale:

"I propose a truce. I will no longer create, and Error and your little gang cannot destroy or cause havoc in the existing AUs." "What do you think, guys?" "To be honest, I'm tired of the fighting" "AGreeD" "Aye" "Yeah, me too" "Aww, but then what use will my knife ha-" "Shut up, Cross! We're having a moment!"

 "In that case, we will accept your little truce, but only under one condition. If this truce is to be broken by either side, it will be war. Much, much bloodier than the one we are, or were if you accept, at." Ink looked back at his team. They seemed happy enough with the condition, except Dream, who was busy having a coughing fit from all the negativity around. (Author: oh no, the Dream bean!) When Ink looked at him questioningly, he gave a meek thumbs up. 

"Then it's settled"

Bill POV:

I was with Error in the antivoid, watching Undernovela and eating chocolate when I looked at the digital clock I had installed in his place. 7:58, it read. What was I supposed to remember again? Oh right! Meet up the second! "Error" I said, tugging at his arm, which made him glitch madly. I giggled.

"It's meet-up time" "WHaT MEEt uP- Oh RIght! WE beTtER GO thEN" he said, grabbing a chocolate bar (still with the wrapper on mind you) shoving it in his mouth and then swallowed it, whole. "Wh- how- why- does that-" I stuttered. "WhAT?" "Nothing" I said, then teleported us to the mansion before I could get any more confused.

Nightmare POV:

Surprisingly, everyone arrived on time. Like bang on. As in as soon as it turned 8:00pm like 7 sanses suddenly teleported to my location, making me jump. "Pfft" Bill laughed. "God I did not expect that kind of co-ordination from 7 insane people" "I thInk you Mean 6, Bill" everyone but Bill said unanimously "Oh, you'd be surprised" he said, winking.
