Battle ~ Chapter 3

YOOOOO IM BACK!! SORRY I HAVENT BEEN HERE FOR A WHILE I GOT CAUGHT UP IN SOME..uhh stuff?? Yeah anyways HERES ANOTHER PARTTTT!!

----------------------------------------------------

Error POV:

'What happened?' I think as I wake up, confirming my surroundings 'I must've fallen asleep' I look up to where that sans was tied up. Seeing he isn't there, I look around again but this time almost everywhere instead of my surroundings and see him on the beanbag next to me looking exhausted. Luckily, he wasn't touching me so I didn't crash but he was still INSANELY CLOSE which caused me to jump. 'How did he get out of my strings? And why hasn't he escaped??' I think as I realize that all of my injuries are bandaged up or healed by magic. 'Did he do this? If so, why??' I get confused but move on and tie him up again but this time leaving him on the beanbag. I start to make another puppet of him since I have a reference and spare time. While making it, I continue to think about why he looks so plain yet so similar to several sanses when I remember I have a book about the original. I grab it and pull it towards me with my strings then start to read about the originals appearance.

Classic POV:

I begin to slowly wake up. 'Is that Error?' I think since my visions to blurry to recognize anything in this area. I feel myself tied up but still sitting on a bean bag which confirms the fact that I am still in this anti-void place thing. My vision clears and I see Error reading a book titled The Original which I have no clue what that is. "Error?" I call out trying to gain his attention. He looks up from his book "W-what is i-it a-anomaly?" He says a bit harshly considering the fact I JUST HEALED HIM. "whoa there, no need to be so harsh buddy! I just wanted to know what you're reading about there" I say with a smile. "I-I am t-t-trying to see w-which S-Sans you a-are now buzz off" he ends off with an irritated tone. I ignore this and start to think about what he meant by 'which sans'. Are there more me's or somethin? 'Wait that might be it' I think realizing that the Alternate Universes Theory might actually be correct. In this case, The Original could possibly mean the first sans?? "Oh I get it now!" I think out loud "g-get what?" Error asks confused on what I meant "Oh, nothing you need to be worrying about pal" I reply as he looks back down to continue reading his book. He flips the page and his eyes widen confusing me. "You alright there? You seem shocked about something".

Error POV:

I flip the page to see a basic drawing of the original sans...

He looks exactly like the Sans I have right now.

My eyes widen as I process this information. I had found the original sans and not known? That's when it hit me. Nightmare had been in here at some point, he most likely knows what the Original Sans looks like, what if he tells someone about this? "You alright there? You seem shocked about something" I hear. I look in the direction the voice came from confirming who it was. After seeing it was that sans...or should I say Original now?? Nah that sounds weird.. what about Classic? Yeah that sounds good. Okay carrying on, after seeing it was Classic I slightly calm down. I don't know why but whenever I see him it makes me feel... safe?? Idk ANYWAYSSS, "why d-didn't y-you tell m-me?" I ask him "what do you mean pal?" "I mean t-that you're the o-orignal." I say. He looks shocked at the words coming out of my mouth but then goes back to his relaxed look. "I uhh didn't know until you told me just now??" This somewhat shocks me. The original doesn't even know how important he is to the entirety of ALL MULTIVERSES?? "Well I guess I c-cant really c-call you 'anomaly' n-now can I?" I say "Well then, Classic, what do you want to eat?" "Ketchup." He replies with no hesitation whatsoever. "Like- Just k-ketchup? Nothing e-else-" "Ketchup." He repeats, also interrupting me but somehow not as irritatingly as Ink or anyone else for that matter. "Okay then, I'll g-go get y-you some Ketchup?" I say, unsure about what he means. "No i'll get it, don't worry bout it pa-" "OH NO NO NO NO NO YOU CANNOT DO THAT, SIT BACK DOWN." I say as I push him down back into the beanbag, he looks at me confused. "Look if anyone f-finds out t-that the Original h-has been found, t-things are BOUND to g-get out of hand. One person a-already knows, we can't r-risk EVERYONE KNOWING. You got that?" I say, he nods multiple times. "Good. Now i-i'm off t-to get us some d-dinner so don't d-do anything that m-might cause someone t-to detect you okay?" He nods again. "Great, b-bye now!" I say as I open a portal leading to an AU which has the most similar code to Undertale and jump into it. I notice that it's Underswap which is good since Swap is okay with me entering his AU as long as I don't cause destruction. His brother doesn't like me that much, or at all, but since Swap likes me he's okay with it. I sense creation somewhere, can't tell where but it wasn't that big of a creation so I decide to deal with it later.

Epic time-lapse of Error getting fooooodddd (and ketchup)

I wave Swap and his brother goodbye, his brother doesn't wave back but Swap does very enthusiastically. I enter the portal leading to the anti-void. "Classic? I brought y-you the Ketchup!!" I call out for him "Errorrrrrr!!" I hear in response "Error I'm stuckk help meeee" I turn to the direction his voice is coming from to see him all tangled up in my sewing equipment. "W-what are you d-doing" "Well I saw you were trying to make me in puppet form so I tried making you but after I finished I got stuckkk" he responds. I look next to him to see me as a puppet, it was insanely accurate. It had all of the details which surprised me. "Pleaseeeee helpppp meeeeeee 😭" he says in a sad tone of voice. I kneel down and start to untangle him. "how did you end up getting this tangled??" I ask, slightly surprised about the fact I didn't glitch at all "how are yOoOu alive?" He asks in response which confuses me. "W-what do you m-mean?" "I mean those injuries. Any normal monster or human would die from one of those deep wounds and you had ELEVEN." Oh, that. "Oh r-right, I'm immortal so y-yeah" I reply casually "Oh okay, that explains a lot of things" he replies casually aswell?? I thought he would be more freaked out about this but I guess not.

"Oh yeah by the way, that goopy octopus guy came in here and tried to take me with me somewhere" WHAT? "HUH?? WHEN???" "idk like, 30 minutes ago??" "Wait h-how are you still h-here then?" "Well I fought him off, duh" "YOU- HOW???" "wdym how it was easy asf" "EASY??" 'god this conversation is killing me' "WH- okay, h-how did he r-react?" I ask trying to calm myself down "well he said somethin like "oh mah gawd yea I'm gonna come back for u" or somethin. Why are you all worked up about this pal?" "Because h-hes feared by m-most of the AU's that's w-why" "Oh." He replies blankly.

There's some awkward silence and then I realize, "wait did you say t-that he said he'd come b-back-" I'm interrupted by a tentacle zooming past me and grabbing Classic. How did I not hear the portal open?? I use my strings to cut the tentacle in half. "Oh your back already huh?" I hear Classic say as if he didn't almost get kidnapped. "Nice to see you again Original" he says with his usual evil grin "is that the best you could come up with? Well I'd be happy to let you know that I prefer to be called CLASSIC" he says as he attempts to throw Nightmare back into his portal with blue magic but Nightmare stops this by stabbing deep into the ground?? with his tentacles. A gaster blaster appears aimed at Nightmare. Nightmare jumps out of the way, forgetting about the blue magic and gets pulled into his portal. The portal shuts and I turn back to Classic in pure shock of what happened and how it happened so fast. Classic however, unfazed by this, walls back to the beanbag, collapses onto it and falls asleep. 'What just happened..?' I think not realizing that Classic is on my 'bed'??? I hear snoring and decide to forget about it and wake him up so I could give him his Ketchup. I can't believe I've never noticed how calm and collected he looks when he's sleeping.. Wait what? UH ANYWAYS- I wake him up, give him the Ketchup, he chugs it down faster than the speed of light and he goes back to sleep. I decide that it's probably a good time for me to sleep aswell. Wait a second I just realized that Nightmare travels through negative emotions. Why was Classic sad?? (Or angry idk) But shortly after that I drift off to sleep.
