You changed up your fighting style and caught this Dark by surprise. He was struggling to hold his own against you and you thought you might actually win. You've never beat Dark in a sparring match, let alone in an actual fight. Dark always managed to get the last laugh.

In the real world, the creature before you wasn't as strong or as fast. Sometimes he would glitch and it gave you the perfect opportunity to get a hit in. By the time you two were finished, you were both sweating bullets and Dark was on the ground panting.

You put your foot on his neck and pressed down, cutting off his air completely. He lacked the strength to successfully push your foot away. You had him down and let up from the pressure on his neck.

"Are you going to answer my questions now, VHS cunt?" You asked condescendingly and he glared at you as he was gasping for air. "I have no issue with killing you." Dark gave a slow nod to the best of his abilities and started talking.

"As you may h-have figured, I am n-not the Dark you k-know." His whole appearance started to change. "My n-name is G-G-Glitchiplier." His voice came in as stutters now. The persuasion room disappeared and was replaced by complete blackness. You recognized the aura of this desolate place. You were in the void.

You watched in astonishment as his skin became static. He was no longer wearing Dark's suit, but now wore a black T-shirt with dark blue jeans. One of his irises was blue and the other red.

"Alright, what about your powers and all that shit?" You demanded, still holding him down with your foot.

"I can m-mimic the other egos, b-but in the r-real world, as you have seen, I g-glitch." He explained nonchalantly.

"So what happened when you were," You looked away and swallowed harshly. "torturing me?"

"I t-took you to my w-world." He said, glitching out from under your foot to directly in front of you. "A-anything that happens t-there doesn't translate to your dimension."

"Other than memories." You said sourly, trying to push your experience there away. You now knew that it was Glitch who hurt you, but you could still only see Dark's face. "Why take Wilford's side?"

"H-he said Google c-could fix me," Glitch crossed his arms, his movements were no longer fluid. "I-if I broke you."

"What do you mean fix you?" You raised a brow at him, still taking on a defensive stance.

"T-the stuttering you see, a-and the glitching, it's p-painful." Glitch said.

"Oh you poor baby." You had absolutely no sympathy for this dick. Before he could get angry, another question popped into your head. "If you aren't Dark, how can you hear my thoughts?"

"W-when I mimic an ego, I-I retain their abilities to an e-extent." He answered. You gave him a curt nod, you had no other questions about him to ask.

"What now?" You queried, "I know your secret and I assume Wilford didn't want you to tell me."

"I-I can get you o-out of here." He mumbled, he flickered between looking like himself and Dark.

"You think I'm going to fucking trust you?" You nearly shouted, your anger bubbling back up, "Why would you even bother anyways?"

"W-wilford's going to be very a-angry with me." He shrugged, shoving his hands into his pockets. "There's no w-way he'll help me n-now. Besides, I'm the o-only shot you have."

You hated the fact that he was right. Neither Mark nor Dark would never find you in here and you needed to leave. You were so afraid that he would take you back to his world and torture you again, but you had nothing to lose.

"Fine." You scowled and he walked towards you. Instinctively you back away from him and he stopped.

"I need to t-take your hand." He huffed, irritated with you, "C-cant have you g-getting lost in the void." He smirked.

"As soon as you get me out of here, I don't ever want to see you again." You growled, reluctantly taking his hand. It was cold and made your hand tingle. He nodded and you felt the tingling move throughout your body. You and Glitch flew through a swirling green tunnel with static and colors all around you. It reminded you of the intro to Doctor Who, but this tunnel was more electric and digital.

You looked behind you to see a thin man with Green hair behind you. He had a crazed smile on his face and you noticed a slash going along his throat. He had a huge knife in his hand and he was pointing it at you.

Anti.

His maniacal laughter filled the tunnel and Glitch turned to look at Anti as well. Glitch had a terrified look on his face and he picked up the pace. If Glitch was scared of Anti, then Anti wasn't someone to be fucked with (Remember that fangirls and Jackmason2000).

You turned back again and Anti was gone. You don't know if you were relieved or more concerned. You worried about him popping up and sabotaging your trip, but luckily he didn't.

You felt your entire body lurched forward and you crumpled to the ground. Glitch stared down at you emotionlessly, not making a move to help. You were glad he didn't, the less touching the better.

"(Y/N)!" Red cried, running up and hugging you. You smiled into his red shirt, chuckling to yourself. He was so precious. "I will inform the others." Red stepped away from you and you noticed Glitch still standing there. He looked guilty all of the sudden.

"Sorry." He said to you and jumped at Red. You saw your friend stutter and fall to the ground. Red stood up again, his eyes glowing a faint red as he glared furiously at you. "Gotta return h-him to his brothers."

"RED!" You screamed, reaching out to him but he was gone before you could make contact with him. A tear ran down your face at the loss of a friend you didn't spend enough time with. Even if you did get Red back, you were sure Glitch fucked with his programming. Red wouldn't be the same.

You were finally back at the bunker now, but at what cost? You had dragged an innocent into the cross fire and you were unsure if you could ever forgive yourself for it. For now, all you could do was find your boys.
