In Favor Of Order

Chapter One: First Interactions

Error approached Frisk calmly, yet somewhat nervously.

"Uh, hey, kid. You're Frisk, right? The ambassador?" he asked. His voice filled with nervousness.

Nervousness, but nothing else. His voice wasn't glitchy at all. It was smooth. Deep, yet smooth. He was quite shocked, but he should have figured that this would happen. If his tears are gone, then his voice box should be repaired too.

The child in question turned around, and faced Error. They had to do a double take when they realised how tall he was, but was otherwise not afraid of him. Monsters were their friends afterall.

"I am the ambassador, but my name isn't Frisk. My name is Dakota." answered the child with a smile and offered their hand in greeting.

Error was slightly taken aback by the child in front of him. They were Frisk. He knew that for a fact. They looked exactly the same. He was sure that he entered the right universe, since this was the only one up and working, too.

He took in a small breath and braced himself. This would need some getting used to.

He lowered himself so that he could grab their hand, and could look at them better. "It's great to meet you Dakota. My name-" he stopped  abruptly. 'Error' didn't really suit him anymore. Even the error signs that used to float around him were gone.

"I guess I'll need to find me a new name." The dark skeleton shook his head lightly and let out a light chuckle. "But that can wait. I need to speak with you and the main group. It's about something really important."

Frisk, or should he say, Dakota, seemed a bit apprehensive at first, but they eventually nodded, and lead him toward their picnic spot.

Error retreated within his mind as the main crew grew closer. He only had one chance to do this right. He was- He almost stopped in his tracks as a certain thought crossed his mind. He continued walking after Fri- Dakota as if nothing was wrong. They didn't seem to notice him stopping anyways.

He glanced towards his smooth phalanges in thought. He was blessed by Luck. But that was before the death of the Multiverse. He was made by the Deities, so he must still be under the influence of their blessings, but he wasn't sure.

Chatter snapped the dark skeleton from his thoughts. The tall skeleton looked up at the group of monsters gathered around a classic picnic for a moment and took a deep calming breath. He could do this. It was time for change.

The first to notice the tall, dark, skeleton was Sans. He appeared to do a double take at the sigh of him.

"Hey guys!" greeted Dakota. "This skeleton said he wants to talk to us." they finished; the attention of their friends and family soon turning to them.

"Skeleton- oh my."

"Greetings." said the tall skeleton with a curt nod.

The monsters stayed quiet for a moment. Probably taking in his baffling features. He couldn't blame them. He was, afterall, taller than all of them if you didn't take Asgore's horns into account.

"HELLO THERE STRANGER!" greeted Papyrus excitedly. His positive attitude and welcoming demeanor seemingly letting everyone let put a breath they didn't remember holding.

"I AM THE GREAT PAPYRUS! THIS IS MY BROTHER SANS,"

"sup."

"THIS IS UNDYNE,"

"What's up!"

"ALPHYS,"

"H-Hello.."

"ASGORE,"

The King nodded curtly.

"AND TORIEL!"

"Hello there."

"YOU PROBABLY KNOW OUR AMBASSADOR DAKOTA."

"Indeed." he answered.

"SO, WHAT'S YOUR NAME?" he answered excitedly.

The dark skeleton closed his eyes and proceeded to smile at the smaller skeleton.

"I-" before he could try to explain the situation the dark skeleton felt a sharp pain in his skull. He flinched at the unexpected wave of pain and rubbed his skull. He blinked his eyes as a memory flashed before his eyes.

"This is your purpose young one. You are our last hope."

"I understand." said the newborn being with a nod as they brought their right fist over their soul. "I only wish to know one thing."

"What is it little one?" asked Feelings as they cupped their hands around the skeleton and raised him higher.

"What may be my name?"

The Deities' murmured sounded surreal. It was like the wind wooshed around gently. Like leaves scrapped against each other as they moved. Like some kind of metal was hit and the noise it used just kept on being a consistent hum. Live lava bubbling, and like bird chirps. So many sounds, yet it sounded so beautiful.

"You will be a saviour." said Destiny as she traced her ethereal fingers of pure energy against his skull. The feeling being comforting and loving.

"Yes. Among other things, 'saviour' is perhaps one of the most important titles you will bear." spoke Unfortune.

Luck whispered something and the rest seemed to consider it.

After a while of discussing, Faith finally spoke up, her eyes that looked like the sky and clouds gazed upon his form with unwavering power.

"Xavier. The deities have spoken, and we have decided that your name shall be-"

"Xavier.." said the tall dark skeleton before his eyes widened and he shook his head in order to refocus.

"Excuse me. This is.. Complicated." he sighed. "Let us sit down. What I am about to tell you will probably sound impossible."

Undyne seemed a bit apprehensive, but was silenced by Alphys gently touching her hand. The lizard monster gave the warrior a pleading look and the fish lady couldn't help but give in. "Ugh, fine." she said and sat herself at the blanket with her hands crossed. Alphys gave her a thankful look and sat next to her; her arms softly hugging one of Undyne's.

Dakota sat down next to Toriel, and the goat monster soon followed. Sans, Papyrus, and Asgore also sat down soon after the tall one now dubbed Xavier did so across from them. He kept his distance, but be still sat close enough to show that he trusted them.

He no longer had haphephobia thanks to what he will now call 'his reset' but he kept his distance out of habit.

"What is it that you want to talk to us about Xavier?" asked Asgore, who was sat to his left.

Xavier took a deep breath and looked at each one of them in the eyes for a moment.

"This might take a while to explain."
