A Multiversal Mystery (Slow Updates)

Chapter 10

Ink couldn't help staring at the golden skeleton, feeling a distinct but unique pulsation go through his body. Before Ink could gather his words, the golden skeleton finally spoke with gentle but warm golden eyes, "Ah, hello there?" the golden skeleton chuckled nervously, glancing away occasionally trying to visibly focus on something other than Ink at the moment as if the golden skeleton was trying to sense something Ink couldn't. Ink blinked before getting up and coughing with an awkward smile "Heya there, I'm Ink. Sorry for the knock to the noggin' but it was rather accidental." He hummed with a soft smirk, observing the golden skeleton's features once more, the golden circlet on his skull to the almost enchanting golden eyes, to the small but extremely durable frame that reminded Ink of somebody but he couldn't exactly recall at the moment but he definitely saw a exact resembling bone structure and frame durability to the one on the golden skeleton.

"It's alright, just rather surprising is all..?" The golden skeleton chuckled, rubbing the side of his skull delicately somewhat surprised that the impact had hurt that much from colliding with the strange skeleton who dashed through a portal. Ink kept staring at the golden skeleton, feeling somewhat like this skeleton in particular was importnant, although Ink was soulless, he wasn't clueless or stupid, he was a powerful version of Sans after all and anybody who is powerful had their own quirks and tips, Ink happened to be very intelligent but not very high on the moral order of law and feelings, Ink couldn't help but fall into deep thought suddenly as he reflected on himself before pulling himself out of it with a startled jolt. Broomie aimed at the golden skeletons neck as Ink held Broomie tightly, his eye lights turning to bright red targets "What the hell did you just do?" Ink steadily stepped away and the pulsation in his body grew fainter but if he had a human stomach then his mind would've collasped for a moment from sudden stress, "What did I do?" the golden skeleton replied with a hushed tone, his face contorting into subtle surprise and bubbling confusion.

"Yes, what the hell did you do?" Ink asked again with greater anger, "Can you specify what you mean..?" the golden skeleton once again replied with greater confusion but the air seemed to grow hot and uncomfortable as the two stared at eachother, "What did you do to make me fall into self-reflection so suddenly like that?" Ink pressed Broomie against the golden skeleton's throat as his red target eye lights grew to a bright blossoming red resembling pure rubies. "No, forget it..You're dangerous." Ink suddenly spoke before even allowing the golden skeleton to answer as he pulled Broomie away, ink swirling at the tip of the brush before Ink splashed it onto the ground and went through the ink puddle making the golden skeleton shocked at the bizzare power of the stranger.

Dream couldn't help but rub his sockets as he stared at the ink puddle, "I..I have to talk to Classic maybe he knows who that is?" Dream had never seen such a weird skeleton like that before in the multiverse "I guess the multiverse is really full of surprises huh?" He chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck with a furrowed expression on his face, "Maybe Classic is right on some things, maybe Nightmare and I are too complacant on status in the multiverse.." He mumbled before blinking again "Weird, why would I suddenly think that?" Dream hummed quietly before looking at the blossoming tree's surrounding him then at the ink puddle.

"The forest won't die if I leave a strange ink puddle here right..?" Dream glanced at the forest around him again trying to think of how to clean the ink puddle or leave it.

"And I was totally like, Cross' Broski. You gotta chill your little noggin' up and all sinful thoughts are not good for you." Fresh chuckled as Classic groaned pressing skull against the couch, "Awwwwww, your noggin hurtin' from all the brotasic adventure's I up and telling you Classic brah?" Fresh tapped Classic's skull with that large, unwinding grin that made it clear despite the teasing and friendly intent, Fresh wasn't normal. "I see Error also fixed your propeller hat, which explains why your so talkative today." Classic glanced at the new hat on Fresh's head, glancing at the small warning patch on the side of it stating 'Whoever breaks this hat, I pity your existence.' thats all it says but Classic knew it was Ink who drew the patch and formed it into existence, "Yeah! Error Broski fixed it up for mah, brah. It totes got new radical colours even got that nice soda smell since Alcohol is totes unrad to drink." Fresh's grin widened in glee as he spun the propeller on his hat.

"You know, if Fell heard that, he'd totally verbally scold you." Classic sighed, rubbing his nose with a slight frown thinking back to the last time Fell had scolded Fresh's rather healthy habits and got strung to the ceiling by both Error and Ink who wholeheartedly agreed with the whole alcohol situation. "Nevermind that, why are you here so suddenly Fresh? I know you didn't come here just to tell me about your adventures or your new propeller hat." Classic hummed, going to grab a wrench from his tool kit with a semi-focused expression, "Oh yeah, Error Broski suddenly disappeared and Reaper Brah is having a totes unrad rampage against Ink broski since Ink was last seen with Error Broski. Reaper brah thinks Ink did a totes sinful thing and made Error Broski disappear while repairing AUs," Fresh shrugged as Classic froze "Wait, What?" He muttered, "Can you please say that again Fresh?" Classic suddenly spoke again hurriedly "Error Broski suddenly disapp--" "You know what, nevermind. But how-?" "It's totes unrad to interrupt a homie while they're speaking Classic Broski." Fresh huffed, sitting on the floor.

Classic wanted to retort but knew he was in the wrong, since he was interrupting Fresh who he did ask to explain the situation again since he thought he heard the explanation wrong, "Sorry, Sorry. Who else knows? I mean- does Cross know? does Swap know? who else knows that Error disappeared?" Classic questioned with a furrowed expression, "Only Reaper, Ink and you. My homeslice, it all up tensing in the multiverse. I think Seraphim Broski and Cross Brah knows though, they seem incredibly quiet lately." Fresh shrugged as he stared at the machine "You're missing a panel broski-" "I know Fresh, I know. But the kid needed it for their science fair project and I couldn't exactly say no either.." Classic looked at the floor his expression heavy, he wasn't sure what had happened but a sudden chain of events has occured and the faint feeling that the multiverse may become turbulent again made Classic uneasy only to see a skeleton collide face first into his machine.

"Hey Ink Broski." Fresh greeted at the skeleton who seemed dazed, "Hey Fresh." Ink replied with a faint pain to his skull.

Hey everybody! Thank you all for your support, I really appreciate it.

I also realised before I wrote chapter 9, I left you all hanging on the next chapter for half a year and I am so sorry. I had no idea I left this book alone for so long after writing chapter 9.

Anyways, I hope your all enjoying the book currently. Again, I appreciate the support all you readers have given this experimental book so far. It's kinda stumped me on how much you all liked it, but I won't complain! I love that you all are reading my works despite all the mistakes to it.
