Dream? Who is that?

Chapter 34- Dreams do come true! (UnderVerse)

Sun learns a new trick and is very happy

——-

UnderVerse

Sun was much more upbeat after his chat with Fresh, feeling he understood himself much better. He had always wondered why he felt deep discomfort when others tried to control him, just attributing it to his 'upbringing'.

It now made sense why he had started to despise Angel even more after stalker creepily changed his Code. The 'child lock' was annoying and came with added instincts, but knowing why he felt like this was so relieving.

Of course not all of his tendencies could be attributed to his weird Code, not like he would ever tell stalker that. It was also the perfect excuse for whatever he did. He was going to have so much fun with this!

He was currently out exploring by himself, enjoying the freedom that Fresh was more then happy to give him. He was looking at a rather shiny item on a stall, very tempted to obtain it when he froze at hearing a very unwelcome voice.

"The Code says he is near..far too many monsters here. Where has he gone?"

How?! How was stalker finding him so easily?! He bolted from the stall and went towards an alleyway to open a portal. He knew he was running out of time when he sensed stalker coming closer, so looking around he decided to hide behind some crates, cursing his erratic magic. He thought it was sorted, so why was it failing him now?!

"Sun. I know you are here. Just come out so we can go home"

He silently scoffed at the thought, trying to make himself as small as possible. He shivered when he heard footsteps get closer, closing his sockets he felt resignation to what was about to occur.

He really wished to stay hidden....He heard the crates being moved, preparing for stalker to grab him so was rather surprised when nothing happened.

"...tch. Just a cat. How did they do this? Stupid Code getting confused"

He was astonished when they left him there, disappearing in a portal. He stared for far too long where they had been and jumped when Fresh was suddenly crouching in front of him..did they get bigger?

"Well look at this. Congrats, baby parasite. You managed your first shift"

Sun tried to ask for some clarification but all that came out was a small chirp-like sound, terribly confusing him further.

"I had a look around and it seems Nightmare can shape shift. Considering you have a similar goopy state I thought it was possible and with how i make my vessel change to suit my needs, it was likely you had a similar skill. Good job, brah!"

Sun finally looked down at his body, puffing up in surprise at his furry golden body. His new tail swished with his emotions but when Fresh poked him he suddenly switched to his normal form.

"Looks like you will need practice, little dude"

Sun looked at his skeleton hands in disappointment before a thought popped up. Why hadn't that other Nightmare ever taught him this? He bet it was stalker 's fault but now he was free to do what he wished.

This was even better than his corrupted form!

It had taken time but Sun was pleased he could now manage to stay in his new form for as long as he wanted. It also had the added bonus of somehow hiding him from stalker, which was perfect.

He had studied his form extensively and while he did not look like a normal cat, he didn't care. He liked his bright golden fur and yellow and orange eyes, it was bold and he thought it was rather cute. He knew how to make himself more boring but this was his preferred version, his true self if he was being honest. It felt right and he now understood why Fresh seemed so particular with how they looked.
