(Dedication to my Dustberry people)

"Any moment now your highness."

He turned to look at his lover he looked amazing in this light.

"Believe me I know... I sunk pretty low."

He flinched at the memories but regained his composure.

"But whatever I've done you... deserved."

"Blue"

"QUIET."

Dust had never flinched so hard in his life. This was not the Blue he loved.

But then again it was.

"Im the bad guy, that's fine...
It's no fault of mine."

It wasn't his fault they wanted to take him away. He couldn't let them take him. He couldn't. He wouldn't!

He was crazy, yes.

But Dust loved him.

And he loved Dust.

So why did everyone want to pull them apart.

"And some justice at last will be served."

"Please listen..." Echoed Dream's voice.

How dare he. How dare all of them.

"Now it's time to step up..."

"Or it's time to back down..."

He looked at Dust's face. It was sympathetic.

He had been against it from the start. Not wanting to tear Blue away from his friends.

He needed to understand this was his decision.

So he immediately snapped back.

"And there's only one answer for me"

He walked to the window and looked out. They'd be here soon.

"And I'll stand up and fight, cuz I know that I'm right!"

He whipped around and marched up to Dust saying.

"And I'm ready! I'm Ready!! I'M READY!!!"

He looked him in the eye with a look of DETERMINATION.

"READY AS I'LL EVER BE"

Dust only sighed and smiled.

"If you say so Bluebear... I love you."

"And I love you too."

"Till the gods strike us down, due us part, and tear apart our souls."

"Until we find each other again..."

They said their vows and prepared.

"NOW IT'S TIME TO RISE UP! Or it's time to stand down. And the answer is easy to see!"

AU's united under the star sanses and bad sanses. It would be a shocking sight to see if it weren't due to the dire situation they found themselves in.

"AND I SWEAR BY THE SWORD!"

Dream pulled out his staff at lightning  speed.

"IF YOUR IN, GET ON BOARD!"

This was it and he needed everyone.

"Are you ready?"

Ink shot up a little too enthusiastically.

"I'M READY!"

Killer and Horror followed his lead.

"We're ready!!"

"WE'RE READY!!!"

Dream smiled and turned but frowned at the thought of his poor friend Blue.

"Ready as I'll ever be..."

'We'll save Blue.'


Nightmare emerged from the shadows. Error by his side as they walked up to Cross.

He was surprisingly Dust's closest friend so they had come to him for advice. He'd given it and now they were moving forward with their own plan. But the fear of failure was haunting.

"Are you quite sure we can do this?" Nightmare asked

Cross looked over.

"Together, we will guarantee!"

He smiled at Nightmare, while Error was cringing in the background.

"I'LL MAKE THEM HEAR ME!!!"

Blue was shaking in Dust's arms. Dust tried calming down his poor lover. He didn't blame him.

He knew he was angry, scared and a bunch of other emotions. But they'd get through this. Together.

They had too...

"Prove they can trust me!!!"

Dream led them through the abandoned AU of Dusttale.

'How nostalgic for it all to happen where it started.'

He thought as they approached the empire.

"I'll save my home and family..."

Cross led Nightmare and Error.

They were all running on hope. Hoping that they would make it and make it right in time.

Now the lines in the sand...

Dream and Ink approached the castle with the AU's in tow.

Nightmare, Error and Cross emerged from the treeline joining up with them.

And our moments at hand...

Dust and Blueberry shared one last kiss.

"And I'm ready!"

Ink shouted.

"I'm ready!"

Dream cried.

"I'm ready."

Cross whispered

Dust handed a couple things to Blue.

Blue stared at them.

Ink's brush and vials, he drank the red one, while Dust loaded a saved file he managed to snatch from Core Frisk and pulled out Error's strings.

With their final hurrah, Dust ate the apple of negativity while Blue ate the apple of positivity.

"No turning back..." Dust whispered.

"Ready as I'll ever be..."

Blue said to Dust, as he slipped their ring on and stood with him hand in hand on the balcony, looking down at the army, mentally preparing for the final battle.
