"Hello there travelers! How may I help you on this fine day?" He asked with a smile. "Well, we need help. A friend of mine was kidnapped, and I need help getting him back." I answered. "Oh, I'd love to help, but there's a art contest coming up, and I need to keep my win streak up. Hey, I'll make you a deal. If one of you beat me in the contest, I'll join you guys." He told us. I looked around the area we were in before responding. It was Snowdin, but there was paint splattered on the ground instead of snow. I looked back at him and he had a eager face while he waited for an answer. "Ok, we'll do it." I told him, to which he responded with a squeal of glee. "Great! Which one of you will be doing it?" He asked us. I turned to my companions and said "Which of you can paint the best, because I can't do it at all." I told them, to which Chanas responded with a shake of his head, Magic hung his head low, and Black just looked at me. "I can paint, but only a little bit, not too much." He answered. The Sans guided us to the contest area, on the way he told us his name was Artist, and he and Black signed their names on the paper. "Oh," Aritst started. "I forgot to tell you that painting here works differently than normal painting. It's sort of a tournament. You use attacks to knock-out your opponent or hit them out of the arena, but you cannot use weapons, only paintbrushes." He explained to us. "Well, this'll be more difficult than I anticipated..." Black said as he was handed a paintbrush. He was the first one up, and he was fighting against some random monster. His name was Da Vincent, and he stood no chance. He immediately got knocked out of the ring, and Black moved up in the rankings. Artist went up next to fight a monster named Leo. Artist threw a giant paintball at him and knocked him out with one hit. Next up Black went to fight a duo named Bobby and Rosseta. Black had no trouble knocking them out, much like the last guy. The next opponent for Artist faced was someone named Apricot. Artist started with sweeping her, but she jumped up and hit Artist on the head with the brush. Artist then tried to jab her with his brush, but the girl dodged it and hit him with her brush, this time in the chest. Artist then went to jab at her again, but when she dodged he teleported behind her and hit her in the side so hard it threw her out of the arena. Black next fought another opponent named Penny, but she got knocked out in 2 whole seconds from Black hitting her in the head, giving her a small concussion. Up next was Black and Artist's match. "Good luck." Artist told Black, to which Black responded with "You'll need that more than I will." Black charged at Artist and jabbed at him, but Artist jumped up to dodged it. Black saw this and brought his brush upwards and hit Artist. Artist fell down and hit the ground, making Black think he won, Artist then teleported behind Black and hit him in the back of the head with his brush. Black didn't fall down from the attack, grabbed Artist's brush, and threw it away. "You won't need that, right?" Asked Black as he threw his away too. Artist then took a stance with Black, and Artist then threw a punch at Black, which Black grabbed Artist's fist, but then Artist used his other fist to punch Black in the stomach. Black let go of Artist's other fist, and Artist punched Black in the head, knocking him back and on the ground. Black got up and he looked at Artist with a smile and told him "Nice shot, I didn't expect that." Artist then charged a giant ball of paint to finish Black off, Black saw this and ran towards Artist. Artist was too busy charging to pay attention, so Black punched him in the stomach, causing Artist to fly off the stage. Black helped Artist up and Artist congratulated Black for winning and agreed to join us. I told him about what happened, and much like Chanas, at the mention of Error Artist's eyes widened. "We're going to fight him?! We can't beat him!" He told me as we walked back into the Ruins from the portal. "Yes we can. I know we can, trust me." I told Artist, which seemed to calm his nerves down. A new portal suddenly appeared. It was a black portal that had the words "Error" inside it. "This must lead to Error." I said. "Are you all ready?" I asked, to which they all responded with a nod. This is the end. I thought as we walked into the portal. Inside everything was black. The floor, the ceiling, the walls, everything was pitch black with the words "Error" in red. We saw Error walk out of a door, with Imagination in his strings. Imagination looked up and saw me. "Blue!" He yelled when he saw me. "Fig! Thank god you're ok." I told him. He noticed I called him Fig and his face went from a smile to a mad expression. "I see you made some friends like I tol-tol-tol-tol-told you to." Error said, but then I see my companions are encased in some sort of glass that red "Error" on it. "What did you do?!" I asked Error. "Before you can fight me, you must fight someone you care about more than anyone else." He responded with a slight chuckle. Immediately after I saw a figure walking towards me. It was a female with a knife and a red...
"N-no..." Was all I said in my realization of who it was.

It was my sister.

It was Red.
