A Destructive Family-Sequel to Errormare Story

Chapter Seven: He's Multiplying!

A few days later, Error's POV

"Hey Ma-mare, can I have more waffles pwease?"Killer asks with a chuckle

He knows this annoys Nighty, but of course since he's Killer he does it anyway.

"No."Nighty says, glaring him down

"Dad, could you pass the toast please?"Horror asks, knowing not to call Nighty "Mom"

Not to his face when he has food at least.

"Of course, Horror."Nighty says with a smile, passing two plates of toast over

"Horror is the favorite child confirmed!"Killer says

"I am a good kid, favorite or not."Horror says proudly as he eats some toast

"Jealous much, Killer?"Dust teases with a chuckle

Killer crosses his arms.

"None of you are fun lately."He says with a pout

Then he gets an idea telling by his expression.

"Wish Ma had more sugars and sweets."He chuckles

Nighty teleports away, being done with his shit. Keep in mind he has been putting up with this the past few days and all morning. The moment he left his room Killer was bothering him like this.

I sigh, shaking my head s my strings lift Killer from his seat to the ceiling and covering his mouth.

"I tHiNk wE hAvE h3aRd en0uGh fr0m y0u f0R n0w."I say as we continue to eat

"Should we go after Boss?"Horror asks

"He jUsT nEeDs a bReAk. OnC3 h3 g3tS spAcE aNd t1m3 f0r h1ms3lF, h3 wiLl r3tuRn jUsT liKe eAcH oF y0u."I say

They nod and soon breakfast is done and the table is cleaned. I wash the dishes and glance to my phone, surprised that it doesn't ring. Usually Nighty calls for cuddles by now to calm him down. Guess he wants peace to himself. I finish the dishes and go to the library, reading some books while petting Perl.

Time passes, yet no calls come in. After finishing my third book I start to get suspicious. Where would he go to calm down? Oh right. Same place as me. OuterTale.

I open a portal and walk to the spot that I bet he would go to. Our spot for stargazing. I smile, ready to calm him and cheer him up if he still stuck on Killer's nonsense. Yet instead of the goopy boyfriend I was expecting to find, I see a smaller skeleton with the scarf I gave him around his neck and the crown on his head while dressed in purple. He not only looks like his passive self, but his past self.

What the...?

He glances over and smiles at me.

"Oh hey Error! You're here!"He cheers, hugging me

"HeY nIghTy. ArE yOu aLrIghT?"I ask

"Yep! Just getting a break from the noise! And a little lost since one moment I'm at the tree and the next I'm in this cool starry place. Though I'm not complaining, it's so pretty to see."He says

He doesn't remember what this place is..? Wait is this him from the PAST? Where's his current self?

"NiGhTy...Do yOu kNoW wHo tHe fAvoRiTe cHilD iS?"I ask

"All the people in town love my brother as the favorite child. But if you're asking about the rest of my life, I'm not the one to ask for that info. You should go that way, but be careful or you might be ambushed."He says

"WhAt dO yOu mEaN?"I ask, then notice an arrow sticking out of his arm

"You'll have to ask Dream why a clone of him attacked."He says

Clone..? Oh another timeline's version of him must've dropped in and attacked. I wonder how stupid this one is...That must've been the noise he was getting away from.

"LeT mE heAl tHat."I say, taking the arrow out of him and healing the wound.

"Thanks, Error."He says

"No pRobLeM. NoW cAn yOu tAke mE tO tHeM fOr aN exPlAnAtIoN?"I ask

"Sure, but you might get jumped so be ready. I don't want you to crash."He says

I nod, following him away. I see a dozen other Nightmares beating Dream into the ground with another Dream firing at the one being beaten.

"DrEaM? CaN y0u eXpLa1n tH1nGs t0 m3?"I ask

They all pause and glance over.

"GLITCHY!"The dozen of Nightys yell, runing to me.

Next thing I know, I am stuck under a pile of Nighty's hugging me to the point where I can't see out around me. They adjust me, lifting myarms past my head so they could snuggle me closer.

"Brother, explain things to him."Passive says

"Right, of course. Well I was chatting with Nightmare as he tried to clear his head from Killer's teasing, then this fool drops in firing rapidly. He believes that Brother died the moment he ate the apple, seeing the corrupted form as a freak to slay. The special arrows were to split Brother from Corruption, which worked. But he kept firing, causing him to split even more. He got power from this fool's frustration, growing bigger and alarming this other me to fire more...And repeat cycle until there are 13 of him including his passive form."Dream explains

"Wait, that's your brother?"The other asks

"Yes, and I'd appreciate it if you stop shooting him."He says

"Ooohh...I'll be on my way then."The other says

Then I hear teleportation.

"*sigh* He is gone."He says

"Let's take Glitchy home!"One of the Nightys cheer

"Yeah! And show Passive! Come on, Dream!"Another cheers

I get lifted up by multiple hands and try not to glitch out. Luckily it's him touching me so I am okay. He carries me away through a portal, right into the bedroom. He sets me down and Passive gets shoved into the middle of the group.

"Now what do we do to fix this?"Dream asks

I use my strings to pull the arrows out of him as gently as I could. Once the arrows left them, they smile. Then their tentacles intertwine and I watch as they slowly start to fuse together. 12 became 6, then 3, then one again and then Passive smiles. He leans against his other half and they fuse together, like putting all the puzzle pieces of Nighty together again. He opens his eyes and I had to take another moment to recognize the change. Cuz he didn't have one eye anymore.

Very faintly, you can see the purple of his eye shining through the goop that usually hid his other eye.

"Brother? Are you alright?"Dream asks, only seeing Nighty's tentacle-covered back.

Nighty glances to him and Dream sees the change.

"Yes, I am. Thanks for today, Brother."He says

Dream smiles with a nod, then teleports away. Then Nighty lays on top of me.

"Cuddle time, Glitchy!"He says

I scoot away a bit, feeling my glitching pick up.

"Glitchy?"He says, tilting his head

"I wAs jUsT d0g-p1l3d bY a d0z3n 0f y0u...I ne3d a f3w m1nuT3s b3f0r3 cuDdl3s."I tell him

He smiles at me as his eyes twinkle with understanding.

"Of course, Glitchy."He says
