Chapter #9

(IM SO SORRY I DIDN'T POST THIS, I FINISHED THIS SO LONG AGO AND POSTED IT ON AO3)

"Oh, well. The public execution is almost ready, but The God of Destruction is awake and isn't going without a fight, sir. He's strung up twenty of our workers," Matti said.

Fresh felt a pang in his chest... "Execution..."

"Has he dusted anyone yet?" Ink asked.

"No sir."

"Make sure he gets to the site. Get Red to go with the next batch of people to bring him out."

"Red..?" Matti asked.

"Ugh... Get UnderFell Sans to accompany you, please," Ink explained.

"Right!"

The monster scurried off to Red's post in the base. When the kid isn't at a point where they would see Red, or as they know him, Sans, he would be at The Star Sanses base, doing his more important job.

"So... Public execution, huh?" Fresh asked in a cool fashion.

"Yes, and if I'm not mistaken, we should have The Bad Sanses soon," Ink replied.

"You uh— You should?" Fresh asked in an oddly concerned tone.

"Yup, we've been searching for them, I checked and they're not at their base. I wonder where they could be?" Ink answered ominously.

At this moment, Fresh had an idea.

"Well, if your cool broski knew where they were... would ya' clear my unrad record?"

"...record? Oh! Your criminal record!" Ink said in realization.

"Yo, ya' don't gotta say it like that, Inky-bro, it feels uncool..." Fresh said, putting his hands up. He looked a bit disappointed that Ink called his achievements a 'criminal record' but you can't argue with the enemy when they have your best friend captive, not to mention he just figured out there would be a public execution.

"Being a criminal is 'uncool', Fresh," Swap muttered quietly, trying not to seem impolite.

"Ya' don't gotta be such a buzzkill..." Fresh said back.

"Hmm... back to what you said... Yes! I will clear your criminal record if you show me where The Bad Sanses are!" Ink said happily.

"Sick! Follow me!" Fresh said, gesturing them to follow.

"Wait, Ink!" Dream whisper-yelled, "We should be careful, what if this is a trap?"

"We will, thank you, Dream," Ink said.

 As they got closer to where The Bad Sanses were, Dream felt something...

"Nightmare's here! Fresh was telling the truth!" Dream yelled in awe.

Fresh chuckled, "Yep! And if I'm not mistaken, all the rad bros should be right... here..?" Fresh looked upon an empty room, "How? It's only been 30 minutes, they should be at this spot right now... Unless... They split up to find Error faster!"

"The rad dudes aren't here?" Fresh pondered.

"Why are you calling them 'rad'? You only do that to people you like, Fresh," Swap pointed out.

"I have?" Fresh asked, seemingly oblivious. Truth is, he was panicking over this fact.

"Not the point, Swap! Fresh was telling the truth and the Bad Sanses are here! All of them! I can feel it!" Dream shouted.
