What complete and utter bullshit! There's no way you were here one minute and gone the next, there's no way, there's no way! Nightmare was tearing his castle bit by bit, ordering Dust, Killer and Horror to search every corridor Nightmare didn't feel like destroying. Some guards that were stationed near Nightmare were soon after dead from the result of Nightmares fit of rage.

Huffing and heaving, Nightmare looked around the corridor he was in. The floor was littered with cracks and a small pile of ink. The roof had scratches left and right, some windows were broken and many pillars now had new holes in them. Weapon racks were torn off the walls and curtains laid dormant on the floor. The floor that had...

Nightmare walked up and examined the pile of ink, before chuckling, then full on laughing. "Of course... Of course!" Nightmare screamed, clutching his drooping eye in his own insanity. "Of course that rodent would come in and take what isn't his! And from the condition this place was in, it was clear Y/n did put up a fight. She willingly went with that squid..." Nightmare stared at the ink once more, before summoning one of his tentacals and hovering it over to the side. In one small drop of his own ooze, Dust fell to the floor in a heap.

Dust groaned from the sudden transportation, but quickly got himself to his feet and awaited Nightmares orders. "Boss, is there something that happened? Did you find Y/n?" Dust questioned, but still kept his voice low. Dust could sense Nightmares anger, and he understood it. Nightmare had every reason to be angry, Dust was even angry when you were reported missing. Horror was scared out of his mind and was flipping areas upside down, Killer was having one of his bad mood swings as well, all while Dust's brother kept pestering him about how he should've killed you when he had the chance.

Nightmare chuckled before turning over and facing Dust with his good eye, making Dust shrink back a little. "I didn't find her, but I'll be damned to know that she's still out there." Nightmare slowly lifted his finger and pointed to the pile of ink, making Dust slightly groan. You went with that dumb AU protector? "I want you to universe hop and see if you can find her. I don't think Ink would be stupid enough to send her back to the Omega timeline, so don't bother going there. I'll send Killer and Horror out as well, but if I find her before you incompetent three can, there will be punishment to be served." Nightmare finished, before turning away from Dust and strutting down his halls.

Dust got one of his knees and slightly bowed, furrowing his brows as he thought of everywhere he should begin searching. "Of course, Boss.."

Cross was on protective mode as he stood in front of you, blade drawn and ready to fight the new skeleton in front of him. He didn't care if he had his heart locket, he'll fight tooth and nail to protect you and get it back. Cross obviously noticed the new skeleton sneaking glances at you and tightened his grip, taking a step back and closer to you.

You looked down at Cross and furrowed your brows, you weren't used to this kind of attention, so it was new and confusing as to why Cross would go through such lengths. "Cross... I don't think he means trouble." You whispered to him, making Cross move his eyes from the new skeleton to you. Cross pondered as he looked at your face. How are you so calm about this?

After a while of debating, Cross eventually lowered his guard slightly and put his weapons away, yet didn't move away from where he was in front of you. "Who are you? And may I have my heart locket back?" Cross lowered his voice at the end of his sentence, feeling bashful about the image inside of the locket. The taller skeleton in front of him sighed and nodded, quickly tossing the cracked locket to Cross.
