Change For The Better

Why me?

Error walked slowly into the new AU. It seemed that Ink had only made a few changes to the place, which was obviously a copy of horrortale. The thing was, there was food everywhere! All the people were happy as happy could be! Error hung his head into his hands. "GoD..." he muttered. Why this change? Why torture him like this? Error let out a shaky breath. "LeT'S MaKe ThIs QuIcK..." he whispered to himself. He walked around, dusting monsters here and there. "Why?!" 

"Why us?!"

"What did we do?!"

The cries of the monsters echoed throughout the world, and Error could barely take it. Not only was horror one of his acquaintances, but Horror was happy in this AU. He wasn't starving. But error had no choice, and he finished off the AU. Silent tears fell across his cheekbones. Why? Why did Ink have to make AU's where everyone was happy? When the original AU was suffering? Error took a quick breath before exiting the place. He arrived in his AU, only to see Blue waiting for him. "BluE?" he asked. Blue turned to him. "Error!" Blue ran up to his friend. "Ink figured out how to get to the anti-void! He's going to come and fight!" Error thought for a moment. "OkAy. I'm GoInG tO OuTeRtAle...." He said quietly. Blue nodded and teleported back to Ink. When Error arrived back into Outertale, he was surprised to find that he had left his box of supplies there. He sat back down, putting on his glasses. He tore off the bandages, now of which were all soaked in his own blood. 

He winced as he checked over his shoulder. It wasn't growing back as fast as it should be, but it was growing. A steady stream of blood continued to fall. He looked back up to the sky. According to what Blue said, they should be in his home by now. Waiting for him to return. He probably should go visit the Charas. He stood up, opening a portal to the AU with the Charas. He grabbed a few items from his sewing box, and entered the place.

"Error! Your back!" One of the Chara's spoke, making all of the others turn their heads. "YeAh. BrOuGhT SoMe ThIngS FoR All of You tO." he spoke calmly, a fake smile on his face. They gladly took the items, new shirts, and put them on. A few of them took their old shirts and walked towards error. "WhAt?" He asked. They took their shirts and started to wrap his wounds. Error sighed. "You guYs DoNt hAve TO DO thiS..." he told them. They all shrugged, continuing to wrap him up. When he was done, he looked moderately good. They had somehow made the clashy colors look good, surprising Error. "ThaNKs..." He said to the beaming kids. "No problem, Error!" One of them replied. Error smiled. A genuine smile. Then another sudden pain enveloped him. Another AU? But, shouldn't they be in his home? He silently opened a portal to the new AU. It looked so empty. It was empty. Error was confused. So, he stepped through his portal, shutting it so none of the Chara's could follow him. 

The Chara's shirts held together nicely, as he had let them used some string to hold them together. They had made a little bandage for his shoulder, then covering it with another shirt to hide the wound. He looked more down-to-earth with the outfit. After all, the shirts weren't glitching like his own when he made them. He suddenly felt his body screaming at him to move, and he did, just barely missing a bone attack. He cursed under his breath when he checked to see who had thrown it. A group of Sans' and Papyrus' glared at him, Ink in front. Blue also stood in front, but he was less sure than the others. "Error." Ink growled, red shapes in his eyes. "You're terror is over!" Dream continued. Everyone cheered in agreement. 'Crap. I'm Outnumbered. Plus missing an arm! There's no way I can win!' Error quickly realized. He was getting a few confused looks at his outfit. He sighed, opening a portal. "SoRrY GuYs. MiGh-" He was cut short from telling the Charas not to worry by a bone piercing his other arm. "Error!" A few of the Charas gasped. Error closed the portal before any of them could escape. 

     Error mumbled under his breath about fairness. And then the fight started.

Error strung monsters up left and right, careful not to hurt them. A few noticed, but most shrugged it off as they struggled to escape. Red paint was flung at him, catching onto the sides of his outfit. He dodged attacks left and right, stopping to attack Ink and Dream only. This wasn't part of his job. He just needed to get rid of AU's. 'Get rid of AU'S!" He realized. He pulled out the AU's Code and was immediately bombarded with attacks. He yelped in pain when a couple of bones stuck into his legs, causing more cracks to form. He winced as he kept moving. Even if he had a high pain tolerance, he was reaching his limit. 

     Soon, his outfit and bandages the Charas had created for him, ever so lovingly, fell off. His arm was still bleeding heavily, even after they had bandaged it. A few stopped to rethink their decisions. But they continued their attacks. Error suddenly felt a large Crack! on the side of his head, and he fell to the ground. He began to glitch heavily as everyone surrounded him. Blood was pooling out, and chips of dust were flying here and there. His skull was badly damaged, the hole from earlier now have gotten bigger. He didn't want this. So he heaved out a sentence. "I NeVeR W-w4nT3d T00...." the air suddenly was silenced. The creator quickly broke the silence, pretending he never heard anything. "Error Sans! You have destroyed AU after AU! Your terror will now end!" He spoke, raising his paintbrush. But then Error was gone. He had simply glitched out of that AU. Something that didn't happen often, only in extreme emergencies. Everyone looked around in confusion. Ink stared at the spot he was in. Blood was everywhere. But none from their own. Everyone seemed to be thinking the same thought, 'He didn't actually hurt anyone.' 

Error appeared coughing and whimpering blood in Outertale. 'Why me?' He thought, 'I never wanted this.' He continued to bleed out on the ledge, unmoving. He heard sudden footsteps run towards his ledge. "Error!" It was outer! Error turned his fractured skull towards his new friend. "TeLl BlUe, I SaiD i'M SoRRy." He said before rolling off the edge of the cliffside, into the void.
