Chapter 69- The family 'tradition' is born..? (???? Multiverse)

Vega is lost and very annoyed about it. Sirius is also lost but soon finds himself having some familiar (sadistic) fun again.

Brom is Brom with no one quite sure of his thought process....

?? AU

Vega spluttered as he pushed himself up from the ground and spat out the mouth full of dirt he got from his abrupt landing, that truly the worst way of travel he had ever encountered and was preparing to complain to his parents when he noticed a rather large detail.

He seemed to be very much alone right now.

He couldn't see anyone at all near him, only trees and bushes...and creepily couldn't hear any sounds of life either. Standing up he looked around uneasily, his tentacles twitching erratically on his back as he felt a growing certainty that something was a bit off.

It didnt take long for him to realise that he also couldn't sense a single living creature nearby, not even a bird or rodent. It was weird, it was creepy and this was definitely worse than the AntiVoid in his opinion. He shivered at the breeze that passed through, the trees gently swaying and thinking it was a creepy mimicry of normal when nothing about this felt natural.

He tried to look at the Code and nearly threw up in the process, the amount of information and random numbers, that bombarded his vision that it even blocked the real world far too much for him. Whenever he was way too advanced for him to be looking at and he was not making that mistake again but now he was back at square one again.

He huffed before picking a random direction to go in, barely taking a step before nearly tripping on a root and quickly grabbed the tree before he did so, scowling at how dense this place was. His frown melted into confusion when he spotted a black substance not too far away, going over and crouching to it and using a twig to poke the black puddle.

He wasn't as reckless as Star who would poke anything they could and he had far more caution to him, frowning when he pulled out some blue threads that looked eerily familiar to what End could create.

He was just filled with questions, unsure if it was even safe to stay in this AU but creating a portal would also be him going blind, his shoulders slumping at how the start of this little 'detour' turned into this.

He pulled out his phone, ready to complain and ask for a pick up and was also worried about his family but he wouldn't mention that.

Although, for some reason this place felt oddly familiar and an odd feeling of despair filled him that he struggled to shake off...

Sirius sighed deeply, petting between Brom's ears who was letting out a high pitched whine and sniffing the air in increasing agitation. He truly should have expected something like this to happen, having thought the portal they travelled through looked slightly off in colouration but Star had ran through without seeming any care so of course the rest of them ran to catch up.

"I know, Brom. It's ok. We will find everyone"

He sighed and tried to reassure them, even if he was completely lost where he was. He wasn't panicking though, frankly thinking this was long overdue and his 'parents' had also given all of them enough food and things to survive that he was pretty sure he could live in isolation for a century with no issue. He had first thought it ridiculous they were this over prepared but after seeing Star vanish once he fully understood and wondered if this was going to be a family tradition at this point.
