Freedom (Hiatus)

Healing

***Cross' POV***
I looked behind me to see Horror cough up some blood and dust. I acted quick and surrounded him with my knives as I bounced to him and started healing.

The string cocoons shielded our SOULs protectively, the aura bringing calmness to us. I noticed X was resting, unusually so.

I brushed it off and looked around me and Horror cautiously. The moment I saw a Sans copy move I struck him with one of my knives and quickly summoned a replacement.

I soon healed Horror and we both got back to the fight. Nightmare was outnumbered and so was Error. I went to help Error while Horror stayed with Nightmare.

Soon I realized that were being easily outnumbered so i signaled a plan through our SOULs. We'll group together and gang up on everyone around us.

We were all shoulder to shoulder and throwing attacks as best as we can. Error decided to float on a gaster blaster above us. My SOUL felt more protected which meant he was focusing on the strings.

We were able to dodge like it was a gambling addiction. Sometimes they hit sometimes they miss.

Soon all of the Sanses were either strung up, knocked out or still somehow fighting. Ink was trying to chain us up but that kinda didn't work.

I looked over and saw a new wave of energized Sanses so I decided to just flee. After warning the gang, I opened up a kind of glitchy but big portal under us and we all appeared in the mansion.

I sighed in relief after I saw everyone was there. But we needed urgent care, so Dust and I, despite our injuries, healed the gang. Error was knocked out cold with some old blue paint on him from the start of the fight.

I sighed and gently put my hands over him as green magic started healing his scarred body. The wounds slowly accepted my magic thankfully. It was always a fifty fifty.

"Oh my Toby Fox, can't they ever catch a break? Only yesterday did we get Error out of their base."
I said frustratingly as my magic glowed stronger.

"It's useless to care. I stopped caring long ago, but dear Asgore you're right."
Dust said as he healed Horror.

"Also, Criss-Cross, you left an easily opened wound. I thought you were good with healing?"
Dust smirked.

"Yeah, I am, but not in stressful situations. Also, it's Cross!"
I said as I playfully glared at him.

He just stuck out his tongue and continued healing. We were both pretty sure we were the only ones awake.

My magic glowed stronger once I saw the big crack on the backside of Error's skull. There was still some positive magic coming from the hit.

Damn Dream's arrows hurt badly. Not only for Nightmare, but for the whole gang too. Why? Well, since Nightmare is more overprotective than Error, he decided to link our SOULs with negativity.

Still grateful for that, it was the only reason I could signal everything to the gang. I winced once I had to touch the wound to heal it fully, just as I said, the positivity hurts us too.

Dust sighed once he finished healing Horror, he then moved onto Killer.

"Hey, can you heal Nightmare please? I don't have that much magic right now."
He said, glancing at me for a moment before going back to healing.

"Sure, I didn't use that much magic anyway."
I say as I was about to heal one of Error's ripped ears.

"I still can't believe he's an actual cat now."
Dust said, snickering a bit.

"He always gave off wet cat energy anyways"
I say, also snickering.

Dust then burst out into small laughter at that as we joked around, lightening the mood. The others were still asleep.

***Star Sanses POV***

"God damn..."
Ink said as he bandaged one of his arms.

"Killer got me good."
He said, looking at Dream and Swap who were also bandaging themselves. He didn't seem all that bothered by it, judging by his tone of voice.

"He almost ripped your whole arm off and you're casual about it!"
Dream said with a bit of an overprotective tone.

"I can repaint it back."
Ink said as he continued bandaging the arm. The only reason he was bandaging it is because Dream forced him to.

"Dream's right Ink, it also would've traumatized most of the Sanses."
Blue said, glancing at Ink as he kept bandaging one of his forearms.

"Yeah yeah. I didn't expect Error to protect their SOULS though."
Ink said, trying to change the subject.

"Honestly, neither did I."
Dream said as he finished bandaging his skull, looking proud of his steady work.

"Kinda sad the plan didn't work though, it would've been amazing."
He said as he put the bandages aside.

"They always escape and they always keep causing trouble, it's an endless cycle at this point."
Swap said as he stopped bandaging his forearm for a second. He looked at Ink and gave an irritated sigh.

"Ink, by bandaging, you cover the major wounds, not minor ones."
He said with an annoyed expression on his face.

Ink groaned and picked the bandage roll up again and started bandaging his arm again. Dream was starting to bandage his leg.

"Ink, we know that you can use your magic to heal, but that's exhausting. Please, use the  items we give you. It isn't that hard and you can help monsters without healing magic."
He said, letting a sigh similar to Swap's escape. It was clear he was annoyed by Ink's shenanigans and just wanted to rest for now.

"I know."
Ink groaned as he kept bandaging his arm.
"You guys already told me this like thousands of times already."
He said and sighed once he finally did finish bandaging his arm.

"And we're gonna keep telling you untill you finally listen to us and take care of yourself."
Swap said, once he finished bandaging his forearm, he got up and turned to the staircase. Before he went away, he turned to both Ink and Dream again.

"I'm going to sleep. Goodnight."
He said and went away as both Dream and Ink said goodnight back.
