UnderSky: Monsters of Light

Chapter Three

A small beeping noise was heard after a few minutes and then a very robotic voice said "Update Complete. Reboot Complete. Servers turning on.."

"UhG.. mY hEaD.. dId I cRaSh?.."

Ink turned around and faced Error to see him rubbing his eyes as if he just woke up. To prove his earlier thought, he then stretched out his arms and let out a loud yawn before looking around. His expression morphed from tired to annoyed when he saw Ink.

"oH. yOuRe StIlL hErE."

"Yes. I thought we established that I requested your assistance in retrieving the three pawns of mine."

Error just sighed and turned around. "i DoNt WaNnA. pLuS yOuR eMoTiOnS sEeMeD tO hAvE rUn OuT. tHe OtHeR iNk WoUlDnT uSe ThOsE lArGe WoRdS. hEs ToO dUmB."

Ink finished taking his next dose of emotions as Error finished. He then turned to Error and replied in a smooth tone. "Actually, I think they have another idea in mind."

Error turned around. "wHaT dO yOu MeAn- Oh OkAy ThEn InK iLl HelP yOu." Error walked towards Ink with a confused expression on his face, and only once he stopped walking did he speak. "wHaT tHe HeLl WaS tHaT?!"

Ink simply smiled and ignored his questioning looks. "Alright, so what I need you to do is overwrite their codes so that they fit in with that world. It may sound strange, but it's the only way we'll be able to see them."

Error looked confused but shrugged and got to work. He opened up the codes in the incomplete Au and started deleting certain things and typing in new code. He hated to admit it, but he actually found himself enjoying altering the code instead of completely erasing it. He found he could do all sorts of things to not only the Au, but the monsters within. He was a little hesitant however. Overwriting the codes of monsters reminded him far too much of-

"Error!"

Error snapped his head up to look at Ink who had a worried expression on his face. "Are you okay? You stopped moving and started glitching out more than usual."

Error took a breath and returned his gaze to the screen. "iM fInE." His fingers went clacking away as he continued his work while Ink watched. Ink didn't really know what else to do since he had no real way of helping. But he didn't want to just walk away and have Error do everything, so he just watched and made a few slight suggestions here and there.

"FiNalLy!" Error stepped back and stretched a bit, swiping away the screen. Ink smiled. They had managed to make it so the three Sanses that fell into the Au wore white cotton clothes. They also changed their eye color to a really bright golden yellow so that they could find them easier. Because the Au was incomplete, there was no real way to monitor them, so Ink and Error has to work together to create a large tracker of a sort. It was made of black metal and reminded Ink of a giant floating centipede. On its head it had a single blue light that served as a scanner. When the scanner saw the light emitting from the trio, the scanner's light would flash red and the centipede would charge right into them. When it did so, it would pick them up and allow them to be returned to the doodlesphere, where Ink could finally return them home. Then he could finish his work of the incomplete Au and make it a peaceful place like he intended it to be. But until then, he had to hope the trio could survive and make it past all of the trials placed within the Au.
