--- Error's POV ---

'Geno' was literally standing in front of me in a fighting stance. I could already tell the entity that's currently possessing his body is pretty strong.

"Are going to help me or what?" I hissed at the gang behind me who was still in a state of shock.

"That seems a little unfair but it'll be fun," he grinned widely as we stood in a fighting stance as well. Along with my strings, Killer and Dust had their knives, Horror with his axe and Reaper with his scythe. Surprisingly, Nightmare summoned a weapon too. It was his Night Staff and it had been years since I've seen that weapon. I smiled slightly at the years when everything was calm.

"So are we ready?" he asked, his hands gripping tightly into a ball.

"Oh hell we're ready," I grinned as I lunged forward at him with my blue strings.

He went left and right, dodging the strings. That's when Dust and Killer coordinated their attacks and went together; Killer taking left while Dust taking right. Along with dodging blue strings and the duo's attack, he had another axe-wielding skeleton to dodge. During our fight, I noticed that he wasn't fighting back at all. Something wasn't up.

Just while I was wondering about his pattern, I saw Killer fly past me and into a tree. I whipped my head around to see Dust knocked out on the floor as well. Horror was furiously trying to lay an attack on him but it all went down in chaos in several minutes. And where the heck was Nightmare and Reaper??

I continued to attack him with blue strings and sooner or later was Horror severely hurt to even get up. Now it was me and him.

"Now that's a fair fight," he said chuckling darkly and coming back to his original stance.

"Let's do this,"

'Geno' came lunging forward this time, using only his hands as a weapon. Before he could land another hit on me, he halted right in front of me.

"You shouldn't be doing that sweetheart~" a voice purred from behind 'Geno'. That's when I noticed the scythe that was held to his neck, stopping him from attacking me.

"And who the heck are you!" The entity screeched as he turned around to be face to face with the grim reaper himself.

"The one and only!" He said before flinging him over to Nightmare, wielding his staff and creating a forcefield around 'Geno' blocking him in a certain area.

"Let me out your stupid mortal! I'll make sure your death is painful!" the entity was screaming profanities at Reaper who seemed unfazed.

"Hey buddy. I'm the grim reaper himself,"

"You little fu- ,"

"Ok we need to find a way to get these four home. Nightmare can you do me a favour?" I asked him as he simply nodded. Reaper was confused but then shocked after seeing who Nightmare really was.

"I'll teleport you all home," he said before clicking his fingers.

——— Cross's POV———

It was another day of work at the station and things have been a little odd without Geno. But him being possessed by someone and then deliberately attacking us all. Ink was still on that case along with the criminals and I've been checking cameras by myself.

Knock Knock

"You can come in," I said as the door creaked open. In case in Lust who was holding some paperwork.

"Hey you have someone at the door and I couldn't find Geno or Ink so the next option was you. Sorry!" He said shyly.

"That's fine. I'll meet them," I assured him before tidying up my desk and leaving to the reception.

Once I had arrived, I saw Fell and Classic waiting.

"Oh hey guys. What do ya need?" I said, trying to be cheerful to cover up the tension.

"Geez you look stressed up," Classic pointed out.

"I'm sorry. There has been a lot going on," I said rubbing my neck.

"Well I came here to talk about what happened two days ago..." Fell asked.

"What is it?" I questioned him.

"Was it me or did one of them mention that they were going to Red's house..." Fell said, his voice trailing off. I replayed my memories to see when but I did have a familiar sense that one of them did.

"I have a weird feeling that they did," I said, curious to know what was Fell up to.

"Red is my younger brother. I haven't seen him for a long time after the argument that happened in his house. I have a faint memory on where he lives but I'm not sure if he had moved..." Fell told me.

"That's great! Any sort of clue could help us! Stay right here, I'll get Ink and probably Lust," I told them before heading off the collect them two. On the way I bumped into Lust who was thankfully talking to Ink.

"Hey Cross. What do you need?" Ink asked.

"Both of you come with me. We got some clues," I said quickly. Ink understood quickly and told List to tag along. I arrived back to Fell and Classic with the two of them.

"Hey Fell. It seems you're fine!" Ink asked.

"Yeah. It's been cool," Fell shrugged as Classic silently laughed.

"So do you know where?" I asked.

"Yup. Follow the guide," Fell joked as we set off following Fell.

Timeskip (I literally hate doin dis but)

"Here you go!" Fell said pointing at the largest house in the street.

"That's enough to fit them all in," Lust stared in awe.

"Alright let's make a move on. I'll ring the doorbell," Ink stayed as he walked to the porch and rang the bell. I could hear faint shuffling of several people until the door opened.

It revealed a tall skeleton with long face. His teeth were sharp like fangs and his small eye sockets could glare into anyone's soul.

"Who are you lot?" He asked with a gruff voice. Before Ink could respond to the question, Fell pushed to the front as he confronted his brother.

"Hey bro. Long time no see,"
