Error's POV

"And that's what happened," Error finished. He had come to Dream first, he was Nightmare's, Marama's, and Corrupt's brother, so he had the right to know first.

Dream panicked, "On no, no, no! What could have happened to them now?! Ink, Blue!" Dream yells out to the other 2 who had let Error and Dream speak in private.

"WHAT HAPPENED DREAM?! IS EVERYTHING OK, ERROR?" Blue asks and Error scoffs and rolls his eye lights as Dream explains.

"First let's set up a Multiversal meeting at Sci's place, I need to go over this with everyone."

Ink nods, "Alright, but why do-"

"Just set up the meeting! Put it at 5 pm, an emergency meeting, I'm sorry but I'll explain then," Dream hurriedly says as he quickly heads through his own portal leading to somewhere, leaving Error alone with the others making him scowl.

Without a goodbye, he also leaves, albeit only with a scoff as a response.

Dream's POV

He had, later on, told the gang about what happened and had rushed to Ccino later and soon it was 5 pm.

As he opened a portal to Sci's Au, he saw all of the Sans's there, murmuring, confused on why an emergency meeting has been held.

Still frowning, Dream walked through the portal and cleared his voice, catching everyone's attention.

"My Siblings, Nightmare, Corrupt, and Marama, have gone missing,"

"Good fuckin' riddance," Red growls out, grumpy he had to come to the meeting.

Dream nearly yells back but holds himself steady, "So you would rather have all of the negative feelings in the Multiverse run out?" Dream starts, "Because only two things would happen if that happened," Dream held up a finger with each subject, "1, the Multiverse would collapse on itself, or 2, others would be overwhelmed with happiness and no one would know what sadness would mean nor feel, funerals would be happy, etc. would you rather laugh if your brother died or cry instead?" He snapped.

The room was deathly quiet after what Dream said, "Exactly. And they're my sibling, so I would recommend we try to get to them as fast as we can, or you would regret not listening to me. Just because I'm the guardian of positivity doesn't mean that I am always happy go lucky or positive. And were none of you listening when you heard Marama explain why they have to do their job?" A few murmurs and head shakes and Dream huffed, "Right. So, we need to get them back because I refuse to say that they are dead."

"You don't know that Dream," Speaks Error gruffly, and Dream replies.

"The protective barrier they put around me is still on. If they died, then the negative magic would have diminished as it would have had no entity that could control it and keep it being a barrier around me," Dream says as he shows the translucent lavender barrier, though he was worried because he could feel it thinning out sometimes. Right now it was a bit better than usual but he was still worried, "So we need to find a way to find them and Cross. Because if Cross is with them, that means that he's also alive."

"Kay, I believe ya Dream," the original Sans speaks up first making all Sans's turn to him, "But how do you propose we will find them?"

Then Sci speaks, "You all used to be scientists, I am surprised none of you have figured out the solution yet. Magic tracking, remember?" 

Some rubbed the back of their heads in embarrassment while some like Red just scoffed in response.

Dream looked at Sci curiously, "Magic tracking?"

Sci pushes up his glasses and replies, "Yes, Magic tracking means exactly how it sounds. I just need a sample of your sibling's magic and put it on a tracker which will track their magic signature and tell us where they are."

Dream beams, "Thank you so much Sci!" Then he looks at the others, "So I guess we'll start with this today. The next meeting will be in three days, same time and universe to discuss everything. Because if Marama is not back, that means that they're stuck somewhere, not able to get back." Dream claps twice and everyone teleports away as that signifies the end of the meeting. Dream walks up to Sci while fiddling with his gloves and asks how Sci is going to take the magic sample.

Sci waves his hand, making Dream and the rest of the gang follow him, them also obviously worried about you.

"I need to take a piece of the barrier you have on you, through chipping off some pieces of the barrier, breaking it, or extracting some of the magic from it, your choice," Sci says.

"Let's just chip off a small piece," Dream says because if the barrier was broken or drained of more magic, he was scared that it was just going to break off fully, or to put to simple words, shatter.

"Alright, whatever you prefer," Sci nods as they all make it to a small room and Sci picks up a small scalpel and latex gloves and requests Dream to give him his arm so that he could chip off a small piece of the barrier.

When he does so, he quickly brings out a small box and puts in the small piece of the barrier inside. Everyone watches the small box with curiosity as Sci points to the black screen with a loading circle on it.

"Ok, so, After it's done loading, Marama's location should show up on-" Sci gets cut off when the box makes a huge beep, and 2 small glowing dots are displayed, one more faded than the other while the other is more vibrant. Sci makes a confused noise, "But each magic is unique to their own, and what is with these ever-changing coordinates! They are everywhere! I don't see how-"

Dream gasps, "This is what Mara said! It's similar to how they explained another multiverse!"

"What?!" Sci exclaimed, shocked, as he saw the others murmur and nod between themselves, agreeing with Dream's statement.

"Mara explained to us the different Multiverses! They must be in another multiverse if it shows 2 positions of them! But I think the brighter one is my sibling because it identifies with their magic more than the other!" Dream explains.

"Yeah," Killer nods, "But how're we supposed to get to another multiverse? Hope that we get another portal like the one that took Bos-Marama and Cross to take someone else and that someone has a communication device on them that could help?"

Dream gasps out loudly, making everyone jump, "That's right!" Dream then explains, "Me and Nightmare, Mara, and Corrupt can hop through dreams! Maybe I can meet them through a dream somehow?" Dream thinks to himself.

"That's a... good idea," Axe nods along with Murder and Killer.

Dream gets a determined look on his skull and nods, "Alright, I'll try that tonight but we also have to somehow find a way to get to Mara."

"We can try to create a machine that mimics a portal and put Marama's magic in it to open a portal to Marama or at least find a way to travel to them."

"Alright," Dream nods, "let's work on that, and tonight, I'll try to connect to Mara through dreams, everyone else, please look for parts to help Sci and try to at least form blueprints for the multiversal traveling machine or something and in the next meeting, we will discuss this with everyone and get their help in it."

There are nods from everyone before they all disperse.

Sorry for the short chapter! Wanted to get something out soon and as I had not been feeling well these past few days, I didn't want to prolong a chapter when arc 3 just started. I've been sporting a bad dry cough and have been having 2 hours of sleep for 3 days now bcs teachers don't know how to chill out on giving a billion assignments. Might take a break to get my bearings, around two weeks. I wanted to tell you guys that so that you don't wonder where I am for some time or think that the story is discontinued or something, :/.

Sorry if that's long, but I promise an extra good chapter after that!

Love you all!!! And have a nice day!!!
