Corrupted [A Cider, Chronos, and Zephyr, Fanfiction][Discontinued]

Chapter 2 - Tick-Tock

"We, blame the tick-tock, that ticks to our song~
A second too soon, an hour far gone."

~~~~~~~~~~???'s P.O.V.~~~~~~~~~~

I felt burning pain as I sat (or stood) in the darkness. It was tearing me apart bit by bit. It was so lonely... Where were my brothers? Where is SharaX? I took a deep breath as light blinded me and the burning pain got worse. "MAKE IT STOP!!" I screamed, begging for whatever was hurting me to stop. "PLEASE STOP!!!" I begged.

~~~~~Shara's P.O.V.~~~~~

I had no choice but to overwrite the code. Most of it, anyways. I wanted Xephyr to keep his personality and memories. I started typing in the new coding while Cider and Chronos were screaming at me to stop.

"STOP HURTING HIM!!" Chronos screamed. I stopped typing.

"W-what?!" I asked, standing up and taking a step back.

"Y-you're hurting him!!! Stop!!!" Chronos explained, still sounding full of panic.

"I-I d-didn't k-know!!" I apologized. Cider and Chronos went silent. "Well...most of the coding is done, I-I w-w-was trying to help...."

"I get WHY you did it, but..." Cider trailed off, not comming up with anything else to say. I backed away from the computer Xephyr's file was in. "What will happen to him...?" Cider asked.

"He won't change," I reassured them. "Though...he needs a new name..."

"Aww...." Chronos' voice cracked with static. "What will his new name be?" He asked me.

"I want him to have a similar name to Xephyr.....any ideas?" I asked.

"I'm out of ideas," Cider sighed.

"What about...Zephyr?" Chronos suggested. I nodded.

"I like it," Cider said.

"Just one problem...I needed a new name because the part of the file that held his original name got corrupted...so I will have to insert 'Zephyr' in the coding...which might hurt him..." I said, feeling sheepish. Cider and Chronos groaned.

~~~~~Time Skip~~~~~

I'm done with fixing Zephyr's file, but he hasn't woken up yet. I recently had an idea, and I don't plan on telling the three brothers, it's a surprise for them. I had already driven the ship to a world called 'Undertale' so I could research. So far, the skeleton monsters seem like the best choice. They seem to have the best magical skills, such as attack and healing. I don't think that they will need to attack anything, though. I had set up three large tubes filled with a clear blue-ish liquid, large enough to fit a human. I stepped back into the room where the three brothers were. "I have a surprise, but I can only show one of you at a time," I announced.

"I elect Cider," Chronos said.

"I elect me too," Cider laughed. I removed the hard drive.

"It'll take a bit," I called to Chronos as I left the room.

In front of the three containers was a single computer. I inserted Cider's hard drive in it but didn't open the file. Instead, I connected it to one of the three containers. The computer buzzed as Cider's information got transfered. The container to the far left beeped. I went to a nearby counter and removed a jar with an artificial monster heart, or as they call it, a soul, and went back to the container. A slot opened below the conainer and I took of the lid of the lar. The soul was placed into the container and floated up into the blue liquid, right in the middle. I realized the 'a bit' that it would take a day or so.

I sighed and went back to Chronos. "Where is Cider?" He asked.

"I underestimated how long it would take. You'll have to wait until tomorrow," I told him.
