Ask and Dare the Sanses!!! (And Me- )

War Part Two

Under and Nightmare stood behind the barrier, Nightmare feeding off the anger and the war-vibes and Under holding her hand up to keep the barrier up.

"So how's your day?" Under said, pursing her lips as Horror slammed into the Barrier.

Dream helped him up and started healing him.

"We're going to lose."

"No duh."

Nightmare sighed.

"Can I go kick some ass now?"

"how much is your negative energy?"

"It's pretty-"

"We need your energy to affect everyone, and if it's only 'pretty' whatever, it's not full."

"It's not like I can use it."

"I don't care."

Nightmare grumbled something and folded his arms, watching the war rage on.

"Spot any weaknesses?"

"Art seems to be hesitating, K is just full out avoiding Dust, Killer isn't using his all against some people for some reason, the barrier isn't as strong as it should be, Dream isn't good at healing, and the death count is a lot."

Nightmare blinked and started chuckling.

"You are VERY observant."

"I know."

From behind them, Gavin started whining.

"Shut up."

"I think you should let us go," Carly spoke up,  rubbing on Under's leg.

Nightmare took a step away from her.

Matthew filled the space, shrugging.

"I mean we could make you win-"

Nightmare did NOT like the fact that Matthew was close to Under, and had to stop himself from stabbing the weird human in the head.

"Why the hell not, have fun."

She snapped, and the group was teleported outside.

Samiah and Matthew immediately darted forward, almost killing Art and Approve before Under yelled at them to stop.

Nightmare inhaled slowly and smirked.

"I have an idea to get negative emotions."

"What is that?"

Nightmare then reached out to her with one of his tentacles and smashed her on the barrier, making her choke for air as she desperately tried to breathe.

The war seemed to stop around them as Nightmare and Under's eyes met, showing slight fear and anger.

Nightmare was still smirking.

Next thing they knew, Art was right there on the other side of the glass with Approve, eyes wide and hitting the barrier as hard as they could.

"N-Night-"

The barrier was put down.

Under fell to the ground as nightmare let her go, choking in deep air and exhaling slightly before inhaling more.

Art was by her side in an instant, Approve yelling at Nightmare for what he did.

Under looked at her hand, where the faint glow of magic still remained.

The barrier shouldn't have been put down, her magic was still strong!

A loud explosion happened from afar, making everyone scream and Under fall over even more.

She looked to where everyone else on the battlefield was in green bubbles, slowly healing.

Walking toward them was a girl with a scythe, a long cloak covering most of her body and being pulled to the right.

Her face was similar to Under's. The scar, the purple eye, and the frown was still there.

She looked pissed, the purple iris having a small X in it.

"I thought I said NO hurting her." She growled, moving her arm to the left and making her scythe disappear, and a button appeared.

Art jumped up and grabbed Approve, shaking slightly.

The Under-look-alike tapped the button, and Nightmare screamed in pain, falling onto his side.

Under gasped and tried to help him, but couldn't move.

Whoever this person was, they meant serious business. 

They could have been on Art's side, but her face was scared and shocked.

Who was this?

"Uhm, hi, Author! W-we don't n-need-"

A glance from her shut Art up immediately.

"Art. Go and get everyone inside and watch them. Approve, take Nightmare and throw him a couple of miles away. I'll deal with Under."

They both nodded, running off.

using their asker powers, Nightmare was lifted up and thrown about 5 miles away, and then she started helping Art bring the people inside.

"Under. I need to have a talk with you."

Under was frozen to her spot.

This was the Author?

"Uh- okay?"

using her magic, the Author lifted Under up and stepped through her own portal, dropping her on a nice looking couch.

"Undermare is in danger."

"Seriously?"

Author rolled her eye and sat down in a chair, snapping her fingers.

"I can make anything happen, Under. I can't force love, though."

Under was silent.

"UnderMare is the most loved ship in this book. Dat, Kander, and the other one aren't important right now."

"Other one?!"

"Shut up."

"Rude."

"I never said I was nice."

They both smiled.

"I will turn the cameras off if you will tell me."

under glanced at the camera and flinched.

"I mean, sure, why not."

Under snapped.

Nothing happened.

"Do you like him?"

"... Well, I don't know what love feels like but I assume so?"

"under, the cameras are off, you don't have to lie anymore."

Under let out a breath and held the connecting part to her hood and jacket-part. 

"Yeah. I do."

"Suck your pride up and tell him."

"But-"

"But what? He likes you, you like him, perfect relationship-thing."

"That's not how it works."

Author leaned forward and smiled.

"I can write a whole weird romantic thing, you know. Don't sass me."

Under sighed.

"I'm not good at relationship-things."

"I can help with that. I just need your will to do it."

Under looked at Author's outstretched hand hesitantly and sighed.

It's now or never.

She shook Author's hand.
