Connected (Multiverse story)

#Chapter 1

Nightmares POV

"Groan...why does it have to hurt so much?!" When I awoke this morning, I felt like I was dying, my bones felt like they were snapped in half and my skull was thumping loudly even my soul felt cracked. Although I'm not too surprised honestly...I mean...this feeling happens at the end of every second month.

???. "Nightmare!" I heard the door slam open and snapped my head towards it, a small skeleton covered in a monochrome jacket and red and white eyes walked in.

"What do you want cross, you know very well not to come in my room on this day unless its urgent, so you better fucking hope it is important or I will personally help you understand why we're all in pain!" Cross, due to having a shared soul with a Chara doesn't get affected as much by the second month so he takes care of patrolling...lucky bastard.

Cross. "I think I found what causes all the Bad Sanses pain, Sir"

"...."

Cross. "Um Sir...Nightmare are you ok?"

"O-oh yes, yes I'm fine...tell the others to meet me in the throne room in five minutes then you tell us what it is there" and with that cross left to get the gang.

It took a while but after a few tries I managed to get my aching body off the bed only to almost collapse as soon as my feet hit the ground, luckily my tentacles were keeping me help upright. Leaning on the wall for support I managed to get to the throne room with little to no tripping, I opened the door to see everyone chatting amongst themselves, i could tell they were wondering why I called a meeting, especially today. I slowly made my way to my seat and everyone quiets down as I sit waiting for silence.

"Your all probably wondering why on today of all days I have called a meeting. Well I have great news, while cross was on duty, he claimed to have found what causes us pain every second month" the room went silent...for like a second.

Everyone except Nightmare and Cross. "What!"

Dust. "Wait, wait, wait...didn't we say that it's a soul thing? That it just happens cause were all bad Sanses?" Everyone started to agree.

Killer. "Well obviously not, Cross do you mind telling us what it is please" Everyone nodded in agreement, even Nightmare who was, in his own surprise, excited about finding out.

Cross." Well....

FLASH BACK

Cross POV

After raiding the castles chocolate supply, we (Chara and I) decided to go to OuterTale during our break, sitting on our favourite ledge we sat down and devoured the chocolate while we watched the stars. After an hour or so my chest starts to feel itchy, meaning everyone else at the castle is probably feeling like they are burning, God I wish I could help.

???. "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH"

Chara. "Was that a scream?" We stare at each other for a second, there were no Bad Sanses are in outer tale. And even if there were NO one screams from the pain not like that, I mean what I've been told it just feels like an injury you got the day before. But that, unless someone here is dying, shouldn't scream like that.

"Wanna go check it out?" Chara nodded and went to go check it out and as we got closer, we heard a portal close with a brown scarf disappearing into it. And further along a black figure.

We walked closer but stayed in the shadows. It was a black skeleton? I thought Night mare was the only one and that's only because he is covered in tar-stuff, but this, he didn't seem to have it he was just, well black boned. Then...he spoke.

???. "WhEre EVer yoU gUYs arE...I'm SoRRY yoU hAve to FeEl thIs, JUst bEcAusE I'm ToO WeAk to FighT InK"

Then he opened a portal and left.

After a moment to process what just happened, we left to go to Nightmare of what he said.

FLASH BACK ENDED

"...It was weird he was all glitched out and bleeding all over. Even looked like his arm was snapped."

No one's POV

No one knew what to say they all just stayed in silence and disbelief. All this time they thought it was just a soul thing like their heats, but they only come once a year. But now after all this time it turns out they could have stopped the pain; they could have helped this skeleton that was somehow connected to our souls.

Nightmare. "Did you see where he went cross?"

Cross. "No Sir, the only thing I could see was white when he opened the portal"

Nightmare. "Looks like we will have to wait till the next time, Everyone ask around the au's find out what you can and keep an eye out for the Star Sanses if Ink is the cause of this they will surely know" Nightmare then got up to leave and go back to bed, he dismissed everyone and they did the same with the mysterious black skeleton still on their minds.

Nightmares POV

For the next 2 months the gang followed the Star Sanses and looked around the au's. It turns out that everyone knows of the cycle but the gang could never get any info of who the skeleton was.

It wasn't until 3 days before the day it would hit that Nightmare came across Ink and his brother, Dream. They were talking about something when he heard Ink say something about getting ready to fight again, this caught his interest so he stuck around listening in on their conversation.

Ink. "It's almost time, God it's kinda good he only does this every 2 months hey Dream?"

Dream. "Yeah, I wonder why though I mean he lives in the Anti-Void and all the AUs are afraid of him so what does he do during that rest of the month"

'Hmmmm so this skeleton doesn't have an AU of his own that's certainly interesting' Nightmare continued to listen in.

Ink. "I don't know, maybe plan his attack on my creations? He has been getting harder to stop."

Dream. "Yeah, they don't call him Error-God of Destruction, or AU Destroyer for nothing" and with that Nightmare left for base the day was approaching fast and they would have to prepare.

I've only made gramma and spelling changes!!
