Faking the Fall (errorink)

21; One Last Stand

Once again, I only own the story. Erratum belongs to harrish6
Also this is the longest chapter in this book. The epilogue is rather short in my opinion even though it's at like 700 words so....

Error watched as the space outside grew dark. It didn’t sync in until Nightmare burst through the door, awakening Ink on the couch next to him, that the antivoid couldn’t go dark.
Dream ran down the stairs when Nightmare burst in. It seems it didn’t sync in that, or he couldn’t see, Ink was on the couch next to Re!Error. He yelled at his brother and it took Error a moment to realize why. Nightmare head an unusually tall Ink trapped within the tentacles of his aggressive form.
“Racey?” Re!Error asked quietly and the entire room went silent.
“Boots? What’s going on?” The Ink in Nightmares grasp squirmed and the Ink next to Error stared at him.
“Your Eraser right? Why are you-?” He cut himself off looking at Re!Error who was looking at the floor.
“Your his Reboot aren’t you?” 

And then everything sunk in. It made so much sense to Ink now. Why Shine pulled Error away. Why Error held that child happily. Why everyone stared at Error like he was a ghost during the meeting. Everything made sense. 

Oddly enough it didn’t hurt that he was basically used. He was upset, yes, but it didn’t hurt.

“Yes…”
“You needed me to fix your home.”
“Yes…”
“You used me.”
“Yes… Sorry.”
“Did you ever actually like me?” Ink looked straight at Error and to his shook the destroyer nodded.
“Before I remembered everything I really did like you. It might have been because of Racey but before I remembered, I really, really, did like you Ink.” Error, no he was Reboot, he had only been Reboot, sighed.
“I’m glad. I forgive you Reboot. I really do. It hurts, it really hurts, but I forgive you.” Ink placed a hand Reboots shoulder before standing. Reboot watched with a frown as Ink approached Eraser and Nightmare.
“You’ll take good care of him?” He asked Eraser.
“Always have… thanks for caring for him…” Eraser smiled and Ink nodded.
“Let’s go fix your world.”

“Too late!”

“Dre?” Reboot fell forward.
“The balance fell. Blue and Dust informed me that the dark sans are surrounding your house right now and everything has become dark. We ran out of time.” Dream sighed. Both creators, and the destroyer, felt their faces fall.
“What? We had more time.” Eraser snapped.
“Yes, If my dearest brother wouldn’t have kidnapped Eraser, we would have had more time. He seems to enjoy messing up the balance,” Dream sighed.
“Can we fix it?” Ink asked.
“Not with the dark sans there. They want the boys. It makes sense in a way. But we need to save them before we can do anything.” Dream sighed before facing his alternate version.
“We need an army.” 
“I think I can supply one!” Shine, who had been in a different room, called out as he entered.

This would be their final stand, they would save their world. Wouldn’t they?

It was pathetic.

They are so wrong in thinking they can beat them.

After all, I trained them and I know my stuff.

I’m stronger than he remembers but Shine must remember me. If he doesn’t, Erratum should. 

Let’s see how they handles this army.
