AN: Alrighty people! Your dear fox here has decided to try and make an upload schedule for this book! There will be a guaranteed chapter each month, but I'm hoping to be able to upload a chapter each week. Which means I'm going to disappear from writing for a while to write a bunch of chapters so I can schedule them for publishing while I write more chapters since I don't think I can write fast enough to have a chapter each week without pre-written chapters. Anyways, if you need something but I've mysteriously disappeared(or, more likely, Wattpad privileges were taken) my friend Moonwolf_230 can tell you. Now, to make up for the long break ensuing this chapter, here's a drama-filled, long  ass chapter! Also sorry for actually disappearing from Wattpad for a long while.

"Hello"- talking | "Hello"- yelling | "Hello"- unholy screeching | *Hello*- action | Hello- emphasized | {Hello}- secret code

I could hear yells and the sounds of battle while Dream tried to confort me and Frost pressing against my legs while discreetly scratching at Dream but pretended everything was muted. Then, after a particularily hard nudge from Frost and a tap on the head from Flame, it. Was time. To S T R I K E.

In the present, Nightmare POV:

After a few moments to get into a good position to lunge into Ink from where I was while allowing Frost to lunge at Dream while pretending we weren't doing anything, Flame lobbed a fireball at Ink at the same time me and Frost lunged at our targets; they fell, not expecting the strike. "B-brother? What are you doing?" I laughed. "Did you really think that I would be willing to betray my gang for you?" "B-but, b-brother, you told us that you missed me, that you wanted to bond and be like we used to back before you ate the apple!" I hadn't said a single word about that time, which was over 500 years ago. Sheesh, I'm old! I also hadn't said anything about bonding. All I had said was asking if he was really going to trust me again, apologizing since I 'accidentally' burned him, sulked since I wouldn't get to hug him, and told him I missed him; that last statement was true, I did miss him, but that was the old him, before the fighting, before he joined Ink, before the apple incident, and before the villagers, when we were inseparable. I hesitated a little, still reluctant since I still cared about Dream, but that hesitation didn't last very long; I didn't care for Dream enough to try and not hurt him.

Why, you may ask? Well, he did continuously choose to spend time with the villagers instead of me. And believed my poorly made up lies about how I fell when even a blind MK could see that those injuries weren't and couldn't be achieved from falling. And believed the villagers over me when I did eventually tell him what was happening. Oh, and of course, we can't forget the fact that he literally believed a person he knew for less than a day over his own twin brother he knew since birth and decided that, since I ate the apple(he didn't see it happen, he doesn't even know I didn't eat it on my own will.) I was so very clearly the villain and out to harm others and make everyone feel negative; literally the only time I ever made people feel negative was when he spread excess positivity. I'm getting off topic. Back to the fight!

I deadpanned. "Dream,  when have I ever said anything of that sort ever since you first decided that you would believe the villagers, people who didn't bother to show care towards me and instead showered you with kisses and praises, not to mention you only knew them for a few months, over me. Your twin brother. The person you grew up with. The person who helped you when you needed it. The person who didn't sleep much, instead staying awake to make sure you wouldn't get nightmares since you first got one. Most importantly, the one you disowned." All eyes were on me at this point except Frost's, since apparently, Flame's auto-check that showed literally everything and Frost's ability to somehow know all the information from Flame's auto-checks the moment they're completed. So now I was a distraction while Frost restrained the Stars. "Nightmare, how could you! Dream has tried so hard to get you back, and you just play his feeling like that? Have you no shame?" "No, Ink. I actually have a lot of shame and pent up sadness right now. And how, exactly, has Dream tried to get me back other than beg and beg, 'Brother, please come back! We can sort things out, and you can stop forcing negativity on the multiverse! You can help us stop Error's from destroying the multiverse' for forgiveness, to come back as if it wasn't him that disowned me?" I asked, raising my voice a pitch to imitate Dream. Dream became completely still.
