Slow work is slow

SwapFell Sans wasn't happy about Ink turning up and made that very clear with a few close call bone attacks and blasters. Of course the others saw their Sans attacking another monster and declared them to be killed. So when Ink escaped SwapFell Sans's grasp Ink had many encounters with the aggressive reversed monsters of all kinds trying to kill Ink.  Ink ended up hiding behind SwapFall's couch while everyone else looking for Ink outside the house. Only issue with hiding there was SwapFell Papyrus.
"Hey there buddy. What are you doing there?" SwapFell Papyrus asked blowing out a ring of smoke into Ink's skull. Ink tenses and coughed looking behind to see Papyrus.
"Hi there Papyrus! Hey, can you do me a favou-" Ink started only for SwapFell Sans to burst into the house. Ink ducked back behind the couch swiftly.
"I the great and horrible Sans can not find this phoney of a Sans called Ink! I am distraught!" SwapFell Sans yelled slamming the door shut. "Why are you just standing around there Mutt! Get to work and find them too!"
Papyrus smiled lazily and lowered the cigarette slightly.
"I'm sorry M'lord. But this is your job. Can't you look after your own job now-"
"MUTT!!! I have already told you what to do now do it!" SwapFell Sans commanded before heading upstairs to another room.
"Welp, sorry not sorry Ink, you heard M'lord. I gotta hand you in." SwapFell Papyrus huffed taking a long deep breath of the cigarette once again.
"Wait! Forget that! The A.U.s are disappearing and we need to all evacuate now!" Ink exclaimed backing away.
"You heard what M'lord said didn't ya?" SwapFell Papyrus asked raising a nonexistent eyebrow. "Disappearing you say?"
"Yes! And if we don't hurry your world will be gone too!"
"How do we know you ain't lying to us?" SwapFell Papyrus asked with a smirk.
"I-I... does it matter!?! World's are disappearing and if you all stay behind then you all will be gone too!" Ink yelled.
"Then why hasn't Nightmare or what'shisface picked up M'lord to get them yet?"
"They are probably gone too! Look! Dream, Nightmare's brother is gone, their whole world is gone! Blue couldn't find any of the A.U.s that have someone who can help! Just listen for once you stubborn A.U. and get everyone out of this place!" Ink hissed eye lights going to a red target and green exclamation mark. SwapFell Papyrus opened their mouth to respond only for a shrill yell to cut them off.
"Will you two idiots shut up!" SwapFell Sans yelled at both of them, arms cross, sassy additude and stood at the top of the stair case, red eye lots drilling into them with hate. "We can and will defend ourselves from what ever is making the stupid A.U.s disappear, we'll act against it like real fighters!"
"But if Dream couldn't beat it then what chance do you have! Why won't you listen?" Ink groaned.
"Because, unlike you little Star Sanses, we know how to defend ourselves." SwapFell Sans huffed and summoned bone attacks. Ink frowned.
"As the protector of the Multiverse, Go through the portal!!!" Ink yelled opening a portal. SwapFell Papyrus watched the two before looking at Ink's expression. Sans was always a very and mad so it wasn't so new. The rage and calm blank look was a bit unusual. Ink was obviously angry, but that anger was kept inside only showing in the eye lights before completely switching off.
"I don't know M'lord. Ink does look pretty serious." SwapFell Papyrus commented hesitantly.
"Shut up Mutt!" SwapFell Sans hissed. Ink's eye lights narrowed.
"SwapFell Papyrus, if you want to gathers others now and help them through the portal you can. If Sans refuses to come simply because YOU," Ink pointed at SwapFell Sans with a blank expression causing SwapFell Sans to take a step back. "Are stubborn and will not see the danger that I am trying to stop from killing everyone! If you want to stay behind and disappear like the other worlds then fine! While you are gone I will be locating the real cause of this and keeping as many worlds alive as possible! Now if you will excuse me I have other worlds and alternate universes to save that will listen to reason!" Ink ranted before looking back at SwapFell Papyrus with a calm and kind expression. "Please do try to save as many monsters as possible. I am going to the next world but I will keep this portal open."
SwapFell Papyrus nodded slowly letting the cigarette drop to the ground.
"Uh huh." SwapFell Papyrus slipped out. Ink smiled and nodded at Papyrus before glaring at Sans and then walked through the portal.
"I refuse to let lowlife Monsters into MY house!" SwapFell Sans yelled.
"M'lord. What's the harm in leaving? Ink looked serious and..." Papyrus sighed. "I think we should listen to Ink."
"Who told you to think." Sans hissed.
Ink sighed and looked at the Doodle Sphere with worry. While in SwapFell more A.U.s had vanished from the pages causing Ink to feel sick again. Ink gripped Broomie tightly.
"I promise who ever or what ever is causing this will not go unpunished!" Ink growled and then opened a portal to the Anti Void. Blue was helping monsters through the portal into the Anti Void. Ink smiled slightly. SwapFell Papyrus listened and was helping.
"Ink!" Blue greeted with a smile and waved. Ink waved back but kept some distance. The number of monsters in the Anti Void was low but so was the amount coming through the portal. Ink frowned.
"There should be more, why isn't there more?" Ink muttered and watches the portal closely. Monsters were running out of it but in small numbers trickling to zero. Ink then swiftly counted the amount of monsters in the Anti Void with them. Thirty.
There was only thirty.
Now one else seemed to be coming through the portal. Ink blinked then teleported to the portal and looked through. SwapFell looked empty... where was everyone? Surely they all haven't dusted each other off. Surely! Ink's eye lights narrowed again to skwint at the town through the window. Outside of the house, the town seemed to be rising.. up?
Ink blinked and entered the portal standing in SwapFell Papyrus and Sans's house, holding Broomie close but ready to attack. What ever was going on it was moving slow. Ink walked over to the window to look better.
The roof of the cavern was white and blank, all the crystals and lights were gone. That white creeped down along the walls of the Underground, cracking the world. It was almost as if the world...
It was being erased?
"How does that work? The others in the Anti Void aren't dead." Ink questioned. Then a thought occurred. Blue. UnderSwap Sans. "How is Blue alive if the A.U. is gone?" Ink then yelped as SwapFell Sans was dropped down on the ground as Papyrus ran into the house and closed the door. Sans was knocked out and missing arms slowly dusting.
"Help M'lord!" Papyrus yelled seeing Ink.
"What happened?" Ink asked tilting their skull and grabbed some of the spare Monster Candy forcing SwapFell Sans to eat it.
"M'Lord tried to fight." SwapFell Papyrus answered looking out the window. "I tried to get as many monsters out like you asked but..." Papyrus trailed off.
"But?" Ink asked skull tilted.
"M'lord and Alphys gathered others to try to fight. They are all gone... Sans almost..." Papyrus sighed and lit a new cigarette taking a puff.
"I see." Ink muttered. "Did they touch it or what?"
"Yeah. Ran for the white and boom! Dust!"
Ink frowned and checked SwapFell Sans's arms to see if they were healing. They only healed a little bit. "We should get out of here." Ink said. "I can't save this place or bring it back if I am gone."
"Right, let's get outta here." SwapFell Papyrus agreed and picked up Sans again. Ink nodded and walked through the portal. Papyrus followed taking one last glance at their soon to be gone home. The town was mostly gone, white creeping forward slowly like a cat creeping forward to catch it's pray. SwapFell's Snowdin was cracking and breaking apart at the edges.
"Are you coming?" Ink asked poking their skull through the portal.
"Yeah. Hold onto ya skull. We're coming." SwapFell Papyrus huffed with a roll of the eye lights and dropped the cigarette to the ground before walking though the portal too.
Ink was trying to talk to other monsters to get as much information out of them about the whole event.
"Can anyone help me?" SwapFell Papyrus asked looking down worried at Sans.
"I can!" Blue called out to them and rushed forward. "I was learning healing magic before... before UnderSwap was.. gone.." Blue sighed and started healing SwapFell Sans with a sad looking. "I miss Pappy..."
SwapFell Papyrus watched the smaller blue, white and grey themed version of Sans heal sadly. "Will M'Lord be okay?" SwapFell Papyrus asked hesitantly, not knowing if knowing the answer would be a good idea.
"Yeah."  Blue smiled.
"Good." SwapFell Papyrus said and let out a sigh looking through the crowd of monsters for Ink. Ink was gone once again. "Where'd Ink go?"
"To the next A.U." Blue chirped. "Hopefully we can save more!"
"Yeah, sure sure. Won't we run out room?"
"Uhh," Blue started. "No? This is the Anti Void. I am pretty sure this place is never ending!" Blue finished sweeping their arms up and out to gesture to the whole 'never ending' thing across the Anti Void and smiled.
"Huh. I guess it whole be never ending, ...I guess we will never be void of spaces to put others ey?" SwapFell Papyrus grinned slightly as Blue groaned. It was a small grin but still a grin.
"No! Not you too! Not more puns!" Blue whined but smiled anyway.
"Aww don't get so blue." SwapFell Papyrus continued grinning a bit bigger.
"No! Stop it!" Blue huffed loudly with a squeak causing other monsters to look at them wondering what all the commotion was about. SwapFell Papyrus chuckled a bit at Blue's reactions and sighed going into silent.
"Think Sans'll wake soon?" SwapFell Papyrus asked after a while of silence. The other monsters had gotten bored of watching the skeletons to see if any action would happen and went back to their own business.
"Uh yeah! I am sure Razz will! For I am the great and magnificent Sans! I mean Blueberry! Am very confident in my healing abilities! Mweh heh heh!" Blue cheered and beamed at SwapFell Papyrus.
"Razz? What?"
"Yeah! We all get nicknames to not confuse everyone! Razz goes by Razz sometimes! I think... Anyway! What about you? Got a nickname?" Blue asked skull tilted to the side. SwapFell Papyrus umed and uhed for a bit before responding.
"M'lord calls me Mutt."
"Mutt? That's a weird nickname." Blue commented. SwapFell Papyrus just gave an eye light roll and dodged through the coat's pockets looking for the favoured cigarettes they smoked.
"Got anything bett'r?" SwapFell Papyrus huffed and muttered a "where are they?" Under their breath. Blue giggled and held up the packet.
"Pappy used to smoke things that looked like these, don't you know they are bad for you? But to answer your question, nope!"
"I don't care! Give 'em back!" SwapFell Papyrus hissed and reached for the packet. Blue smile and moved away each time.
"No! They are bad!" Blue yelled and ran off. SwapFell Papyrus growled and looked at Sans before giving in and chasing Blue around to get back the cigarettes.
Blue only paused when a new portal opened and Ink walked through with all of UnderTale. The original world and timeline.
"Heh, I whiten expecting this." The original Sans commented looking around lazily, hands in pockets and tired expression. Blue blinked and stared at the original with mixed emotions but groaned in disappointment at the pun and SwapFell Papyrus took this opportunity to steal back the cigarettes.
"Sans! That was terrible!" Original Papyrus responded almost instantly and looked around. "Oh wowie! It is very white here! It's like snow! Only not snow!" SwapFell Papyrus hummed and frowned at the original version.
"Ugh! This place again!" Flowey's voice rang out irritated. Frisk was holding a pot that contained the yellow talking flower and behind them Toriel, Asgore and Alphys stood talking quietly. Mettaton stood next to Frisk acting ether like a 'guard' or just keeping company. Undyne had taken off into the crowds to calm them with the rest of the guards somewhere in the whole mess of everything.
"Why is UnderTale here?" SwapFell Papyrus asked. "Aren't they the originals?"
"Yeah they are." Ink answered and stretched slightly. "If they go, everyone else goes with no chance of return."
"Smart." SwapFell Papyrus huffed and lit, once again, another cigarette smoking it. Ink frowned a bit and turned away.
"Do not share that stuff with the others. It would be better if you didn't even touch them really." Ink whispered as Sans's gaze shifted to Ink and SwapFell Papyrus, raising a nonexistent eye brow. "There is kids around, humans, we don't want them getting sick now do we?" Ink asked with a sickening fake smile.
"Well hurry up and save other worlds and A.U.s and whatevers already!" SwapFell Papyrus shooed and silently wondered what would happen if Ink was a villain. Ink shrugged and opened a portal to another A.U. and left the Anti Void once again.
"What is that other me?" Original Papyrus asked moving over to SwapFell Papyrus.
"Uh, Pappy, that may not be such a good idea!" Original Sans called after. SwapFell Papyrus blinked.
"You mean the cigarette?"
"What is a cigarette?" Original Papyrus asked and reach out to touch it. SwapFell Papyrus stepped away and frowned.
"Sticks that you smoke. They are bad for you." SwapFell Papyrus answered keeping an eye light out on the other Papyrus.
"Then why are you eating one?"
SwapFell Papyrus burst into laughter at the question.
"You idiot! You smoke them not eat!" SwapFell Papyrus laughed.
"Hey." Original Sans hissed getting their attention. "Don't call my brother an idiot!"
"Geez! Calm down buddy!" SwapFell Papyrus responded putting both hands up.
"Sans is right. I am not an idiot, I am the great Papyrus after all!"
SwapFell Papyrus groaned.
"Oh someone dust me now."
