The gang trekked through the plain alongside with Frisk in the early morning. The sun was shining, birds were singing, flowers were blooming. It was truly beautiful morning. Except Reaper was casually floating above the grass.

"Why are you floating?" Frisk asked.

"Cause I'm too tired," Reaper shrugged.

"What about us you idiot! Why do we have to walk!" Nightmare asked angrily.

"Oh hush you baby. I'll show you why I am floating," Reaper sighed as he lowered himself down to the grass. Not after a few seconds, the grass began to wither and shrivel up, almost as if they were dying. Before it was going to spread, Reaper floated again to see the shock faces of the group.

"How did you walk around back in the mortal realm?" Ink asked questionably.

"Well. It seems that I can control my powers there but it's not working here. I really have no idea," Reaper looked down.

"Well, we better make a move in then! We gotta reach that Forest!" Dream chirped. Everyone soon minded their own business as they carried in their journey.

Yet in the distance, where they could not suspect, was a demon. He had seen what just happened and how Reaper managed to kill things with his touch. The demon realised that was the God of Death himself. Joy was written in his face but it was overwritten by anger. The kid had tricked them. He had to show proof that he was there. But how? They all might be listening to the kid now?

Finally an idea clicked in his head. He slowly thought of his plan and summoned two other demons. They were going to kidnap him.

/////////////////////////////////////

Our heroes have arrived at a large forest. But still, it wasn't the forest they were after. And yet, Dust, well Murder complained.

"Oh my fucking god! How many freaking forests have we been to?" Murder shouted as he kept ranting on and on. Cross, obviously still having a grudge on Murder, had enough and held his shirt.

"If you don't be quiet, right now, I will hack your body with my knife and I'll dump your body in hell. Capiche?" Cross said angrily.

"Oh. Giving me threats huh? How about I dump your body in the depths of Tartarus," Murder smirked as he just pissed off Cross.

"They're both the same fucking thing!!!"

"No it isn't!!"

"Will you two shut it? I know that negativity makes me stronger but this is already overwhelming for me as well" Nightmare snapped.

Geno had grown tired and was slowly losing pace. Just before he was about to fall down, Reaper picked him up and was holding him bridal style. They were both floating. Geno however was too tired to protest and sank into a small cuddle.

"Aww you're so cute Geno~" Reaper sighed as he held onto his boyfriend.

Rustle...

"What was that?!" Ink exclaimed.

"I dunno! It came from the bushes!" Dream shouted obviously scared.

"I'll go check it out. Nightmare come with me. There is no way I would like that murderer with me," Cross said with a hint of bitterness. Murder was shooting back death glares.

Soon Cross and Nightmare went to search around the area.

"Wow. You really love each other," Reaper said sarcastically to Murder.

"Yeah yeah whatever..."

Rustle....

"There's the sound again. Ok Cross and Nightmare, if your making fun of us, we know that!" Dust replied, his glasses on.

Shff

Suddenly someone tackled Reaper, causing him to drop Geno with a thud.

"Ow what?" Geno turn to look at Reaper. His face was showing shock. He saw Reaper being held by two... demons?!

"Let go of me you stupid demons!!!" Reaper was cursing at them but they still held on.

"We know you are the God of Death, sire," one of them said.

"We need to take you back to your rightful place," the other said.

"What? No! Let me go!! I am the God of Death! I will kill you!!!" Reaper was shouting.

"Hey. We all dead here~" a demon chuckled as he came out of the forest. Behind him was Nightmare and Cross knocked out. Dream and Ink looked in shock. Error held onto Ink while Fresh was behind him. Dust took his glasses off and held a knife as protection. Geno was angry and summoned several gaster blasters.

"LET. HIM. GO" Geno said, almost demonically, making shivers go down their spine. The main leader knew that facing this glitching skeleton would be a bad idea. But something about his look seemed familiar. As if they had already met before. He thought again then decided, kidnapping him too, well that's a better plan. He immediately teleported behind Geno, holding him down.

"LET ME GO YOU FREAKIN IDIOT!!" Geno shouted.

"If you don't let my boyfriend go, I will make sure you will suffer terribly," Reaper looked angrily at the leader, holding Geno.

"Let our brother go before you suffer the consequences," Error said bringing out his strings and Fresh having his blasters behind him.

The leader knew he had to get out. Like right now. By instinct, the other demons understood the situation and opened a portal. They all jumped in before Error and Fresh had the chance to kill them. The portal closed before Error managed to reach it.

"DAMN IT!!" Error punched a tree in anger. "They got Geno!!"

"That is totes unrad. Just wait ya pals. Ya don't know what's will happen to ya," Fresh replied.

"We need to go ahead," Frisk said.

"What. No way in hell. I'm not leaving Reaper not my brother," Error looked at Frisk angrily.

"No. That's not it. Once we get past this forest, there is a cave which is the entrance to Hell. We can go find Geno and Reaper!" Frisk replied quickly, not wanting to anger Error anymore.

"What about you, Frisk!? The prophecy said that if you are captured for three days, you have to help the captor with your powers!" Dream looked concerned.

"But it also says that if you kill them, you can free me!" Frisk said.

"But what if the damn demon is too strong for us!" Ink replied.

"Well we just have to hope for the best. We have to save them," Frisk said.

"Come on. Let's wake up Nightmare and Cross and we'll go and rescue them," Error replied quickly.

He couldn't lose Geno.....

Again.
