Open the noor!

Inks POV:

It's dark and rainy here...

Knock knock

Swap: "Speech? We've come seeking desperate aid."

The au in question is a city, the buildings aren't glitched but its residents are, this copy of AfterMath!Tale or as the files calls it, A_M_T4L3_7324- I forgot the rest of the numbers.

This place acts as an OmegaTimeline to the multiverse, it houses places for the residents whose files are gone or beings to have a home outside of home. Speech never had an au so resides here since beings tend to come here to be themselves and vent. Being the place where he could help the most.

The sounds of locks unlocking is heard from his door, after a second it opens but not fully as a chain keeps added safety.

Speech: "Can I help you?"

His glitchy voice is smoother and lighter than the others, it's... calming.

Swap: "A friend of ours fell here and... We have questions about him."

Speech: "Oh, you mean the kid people keep calling new even though it's been 3 months."

Swap: "Yeah... Him."

Speech: "You don't look from around here, and the fact you found me means you've been trusted to find me. Hold on." He said closing the door.

After a second he opens the door fully and welcomes us in.

Sci: "A ladder?"

I swear I didn't forget him last chapter.

Speech: "Yeah, I didn't wanna be on the ground floor but also needed to compact space."

At the top looked like an adjusted studio apartment, space barely fits the 2 couches in it but theres a pallet held up by strings forming a kind of second floor where the bed lies.

Speech: "Have a seat..."




Speech: "So, I take it your close friends to him?"

Swap: "Yeah, I'm Swap."

Speech: "Swap, I recall him having good relations to those in his Multiverse."

Ink: "Do you know whe-

Dream: "Actually before that, we didn't know he needed therapy, if it's alright with you can we know why?"

Speech: "Its not alright with me, whats spoken with to me is explicitly confidential, however, being friends theres some things he's fine with being spoken out."

Speech: "For starters, when he got here he was heavily overwhelmed with memories, realizing before he was trapped in the anti-void for hundreds of years that he had a home before it, a different universe, he was offered the power to help people but it was a trick by a demonic deity who destroyed his universe and cast him there. Apparently she held closely to his soul and made him do... Bad things, I'm sure you know."

Sci: "I... Recall."

Speech: "From what I also know, he received his hephaphobia from the second AU he got trapped in, being one of rape and cruelty, it taught him to not trust, but close friends taught him what to live for."

Ink: Sh##, I knew of the hepha but I used it against him not realizing that was why, stars would I feel guilty if I could actually feel.

Speech: "Our last session he expressed concern that those who hurt him were gonna come back and hurt him again, make him kill against his will once more."

Ink: "Well, people are trying to, we have to find him to help keep him safe."

Speech: "Yes, with that the last I heard of where he resides is...


He got cut off by a large purple X on his face, followed by a message over it.

Program forcefully shutdown, attempting emergency reboot.

SHING!

We jump off the couch in time to avoid a knife, it deleted the couch shortly after. The blade we realized was familiar too late before X teleported on it and swung both knives around, all of us dashed behind him but still got hit from our late reaction.

Ink: "What was that for!?"

X: "I found out why you lot are really here, I've been sent to deal with ya."

Sci: "Did our Error pay you off to kill us!?"

X: "He doesn't even know your here yet, I was sent by someone else, but considering what little I know happened to him, being horrible, I refused the offered money, I send sinners like you to hells deepest pits for free."

He dashed around the room slashing about, avoiding speech here and there but with such a small space and so much people in here its impossible to dodge let alone effectively.

After 5 seconds of this, realizing it will end with our deaths as his knives seem to be erasing us slowly, I release paint from my body and encase the entire room in it, a panic caused X to open a file and take all of us in it...


After landing in another file I dash backwards trying to get distance from this menace, Dream, Swap, and Sci are encased in dreams shield.

X goes to jump at me but a figure appears and back punches his face.

X: "What the-

???: "Back off."

X: "Do you..." he cuts himself off.

Error!Sans: "These ones are mine."

Its the first Error we met...
