fighting and description of injuries

Nightmare looked over the destruction that was being made. it was the worst case of damage they had ever done before ripping an AU. crumbling building brought back to their function. shattering the glass, breaking every structure, crumbling every stone. killing the inhabitants one by one as they came upon them. they could not escape. there was no use in running. they would get to them at one point or another. slowly destroying the place one step at the time. crumbling the path they walked on. a black void forming behind them eating the broken and destroyed world. pain, chaos, destruction and fear. the perfect combination to get the goody to shoes out. to investigate.

a switch in atmosphere only made his grin widen, threatening to break his skull in half. forgotten anger and jealousy that he had tried his best to suppress was running through his bones. he turned his gaze in the broken capital to see who had decided to join the party. Ink. he was standing a few feet in front of them. Paint brush drawn and standing in a battle position. face darkened as he stared daggers at them. ready to attack at any giving moment. Nightmare only laughed and raised one of his hands. with the snap of his fingers Error ambushed Ink from the side, sending his blue string toward his target while Cross went in for a hit while Ink was distracted with dogging. managing to get a thin cut on Inks lower ribs. before dodging Inks paintbrush. giving Error the chance to latch his strings around Inks arm and yanking him to the side. making Ink get out of balance and barely getting away second attach from Cross before he ripped the blue strings of of him

Nightmare would not lose her again.the statement may have sounded insane, even he knew that in his derange state of mind. but his mind was clouded at the moment and it seemed to affect the others around him. the negativity fulling him seeping into the battle field. Ink quickly jumped away form the falling buildings in the capital. it took Ink quite some time to get to them seeing how far they had gotten with the destruction. it was barely only the castle left in this world. seeing how unstable the objects around him made Ink kick Cross with all his might and sent him flying backward into a wall. the sound echoed before dying out in the void as the wall crumbled on top of him. trapping Cross inside. Ink had barely any time to breathe before Error went in for a hit. the two enemies fighting it out.

Both trying their best not to get hit by the other in the close combat. sometimes getting a hit in but it was extremely hard seeing that both of them being a Sans. both just trying to outlast the other. Ink seems to have luck on his side as an arrow shot past Nightmare. hitting a wall right next to his head. Looking at a building still standing tall in the ruble was his brother, Dream. Blue standing by his side with two bones in his hand.both ready to take up the fight. a small gesture with his hand got Killer and Dust to teleport behind the two. seeing this outcome and making them way to fight.

reflexes on both side made Dream and Blue quickly doge the incoming attacks before trying to get an attack to hit on the other. destroying more of the already destroyed aria in the process. Nightmare couldn't think straight as he looked over the scene. he didn't know what was going through him. standing in the middle of the battle ground with a sickening wide grin, looking at the ongoing battle in front of him. all left to instinct, morals thrown out of the widow. he had felt like this before. there had been another time when he let negativity and hate guide him. his senses and instincts was on high alert. following every little movement in the fight closely. he couldn't even remember what this fight was for. only the agonizing feeling of loneliness and anger.

Suddenly a body came flying toward him. dogging just in time as Killer came flying past him and hitting a three. he had barely time to doge a second time as Dream, free form fighting Killer, nearly managing to kick him straight in the ribs. on of his tentacle quickly grabbing a hold of Dreams foot and hurled him into the floor. shaking the ground with the force. Cross finally managed to get out of the rubble and managed to surprise Blue, who barely managed to block which one of his bone. sadly it wasn't enough to hold the blow as it broke in two and slashed his arm pretty deep. Ink saw this and was about to head over and help when he thought he had slow down Error for a bit, only to nearly get stabbed in the eye socket by a now recovered Killer. Error not longer behind after when he finally got a hold of himself. multiple scratches and cuts on all of the skeleton and making their marrow drip down onto the battlefield.

Dream quickly rolled to the side as a the one of the tentacle hit the ground. breaking it there he had just laid. He got his bow out and ready to shoot. dodging all the angry punishes his brother thrown at him. Nightmare was sloppy with his punches. giving Dream perfect time to strike. shooting one of his arrows into one of Nightmares tentacle. making Nightmare hissing out before sending out the three others toward Dream. Dream used them as steps and climbed up jumping over to the other side and kicking Nightmare to the ground. stabbing one of his arrows on his brothers back where the tentacle formed. Nightmare was quick on his feet with an animalistic growl. turning the table and punching Dream so hard it was a miracle his skull didn't crack open. his tentacle laying lifeless around him as the black tar like substance laying around his body bleed around where the arrows had hit. readying himself for another punch but Dream barely managed slipped away.

The two brother continued in the close combat. both getting punches in on the other. Dream suddenly kicked at Nightmares leg, throwing him of balance. not hesitating, Dream took out his bow and shot his bow twice."I'm sorry bother" quietly muttered under his breath. the first one hit Nightmare right above his neck. the second arrow with the most force hit him directly in the ribs and went through to the other side. making him fall backward. the shattering sound of his rib breaking sent the battleground into silent for a mere second. another choked out cry of pain was caught in Nightmares throat as he landed on the arrow still in his back. Hands pressing over the wound to keep the mixture of black tar and bone marrow from dripping out. Dream story about him, looking down. a sad expression over his face. he was about to speak, but a new voice caught him to it.

"NIGHTMARE!" the petrified voice send a permanent silence over the battlefield. everyone's attention directed at the house where Dream and Blue had made their entrance clear. on top of it was the human girl both side wanted to protect. panic and sadness clear on her face with tears threatening to spill. eyes only locked with the one whom she had called out for. everything seemed to freeze.
