Fading Ink

Chapter 3

It was getting worse.

Sans tried to keep a sense of normalcy in his daily life now, but being stuck in the anti-void was far from normal.

That didn't stop him from trying to sleep, or explore, or do anything but just sit there.

But it was getting worse and worse everyday.

He tried to ignore the occasional glitching of his body, but it was hard when there was nothing else to look at but the empty white space and the human's soul.

Then, the voices came back.

They forced him to think about it, their questions mostly involving the glitching that was slowly becoming a part of Sans's life.

'why is this happening?'

'Blueberry what will you do now?'

'Blueberry'

'Blueberry'

'Blueberry'

'BLUEBERRY'

He heard screaming as he fell, and when he hit the ground he realized that the screaming had been his own.

~~~~

The being of the Doodle Sphere looked up.

He felt something.

Something had fallen.

Something strong had fallen.

A sudden onslaught of pain overwhelmed him, and he gasped, fighting back tears.

Whatever had fallen...

Whatever had fallen had taken a lot with it.

He could feel them, hear them screaming as their universes were torn apart.

And he was screaming too.

His shrieks echoed around the Doodle Sphere, and he watched through teary eyes as door after door shattered.

The doors that led to the alternate universes.

He curled up into a ball, unable to watch, and crying desperately at the pain, the agony of countless universes dying.

Finally...

Finally, the pain stopped...

Ink look up, tear streaks lining his face with black.

There were still hundreds of doors left, and the shattered pieces of the destroyed doors remained where they had once been a whole.

Shuddering with faint pain, Ink moved over to one of the doors.

Aftertale.

Shaking, Ink pulled his paintbrush out and painted over the broken pieces.

But the paint dissipated before even touching the broken door.

Another tear streaked down his face, and he couldn't understand.

Moving on to another shattered door, Ink tried again.

Fusiontale stayed broken.

Why couldn't he...?

Why couldn't he revive these universes?!

No...

No, this...
