(A/N Hello, hello again my lovely peeps! I'll keep it short this time just saying to please leave constructive criticism and feedback below. Thanks!)


"No matter what" I whispered.

I ran back up to the room and grabbed my paintbrush. Almost as if it knew we were going into battle, it had grown considerably to a comfortable weapon size. I grabbed my strap and flung it on. I'm nearly blinded by anger. I painted a portal and jumped right through. It closed behind me and I saw what was left of the Universe floating before me. There were only bits and pieces. Whoever tore it down knew what they were doing. And there they are! A black and red skeleton was flying around, wrapping blue strings around the remaining pieces and flinging them to the void. Causing them to vanish. I sped at this skeleton, my eye a red X, my anger rising higher. I rammed this skeleton from behind, sending him flipping away flailing his arms. He stabled himself with his strings and whipped around to glare at me. He paused, seeming confused, then he charged at me, gathering his strings.


Error's view:

I was minding my own business, cutting out the remainders of this universe. Hell, without my help these monsters would have to see themselves and those close to them murdered over and over and over again. They should be grateful when they see me coming. But no! Everyone calls out for those stupid Star Sanses to save them. As if those weaklings are any match for me anyway. Damn though, I just wish they would leave me alone. They are real troublesome when it comes to these universes. Suddenly, I am knocked hard from behind. I go spinning away, which makes me quite dizzy. When I get my strings to actually attach to something, I quickly flip over to see this small skeleton, almost as small as Swap. He is holding a tell-tale paintbrush and he has a cross-strap of paint vials going across his chest. One eye is a blue whirlpool while the other is a red X. His entire outfit is a light-ish brown except with some darker patches. He growls at me and I pause a moment. 'Could it be an InkTale Sans? But that's impossible! Nightmare killed them all! It must be an impostor!' With that I charge at the small skeleton, who does a complicated dodge move. 

"WhAt tHe FucK! HoW arE YoU sO FasT?!?" I yell at him.

"You killed them all!" He screams at me. His eye flashing all sorts of shapes, all red. 

He charges at me and I dodge. He whips the paintbrush at me and it's tipped in red. The paint becomes fire as it leaves the brush and I have to duck and roll. He comes at me with relentless attacks, leaving me almost no room to attack myself. I seem unable to outrun him. Who the hell is this kid?!?


Ink's view:

I come at him again and again. I'm seeing red. A part of me hopes I don't dust him, but the rest of me is in a pure rage. I hadn't told Blue or Dream yet, but these days I have been getting my memory back. I remember my papyrus, who was so young. I remember seeing him as one of the first to be dusted. A sort of revenge for being created in the first place, everyone I knew had been dusted before my eyes. I could feel the pain of losing my Papyrus, but also the pain of the other Inks losing those they loved at the same time. And it was all this gang's fault! I throw the rules of engagement out the window, not giving him a chance to attack me at all. We fight for what feels like hours, I'm running out of stamina, but I can tell he is as well. His string doesn't help him much as I can burn them away with a swipe of the brush, but they are annoying. Finally, we both fall over, panting hard. He grins at me and tries to advance, but his stamina is nearly critically low, as is mine.

"sO... ThaT Was QuITe a FigHt yOu PuT uP. WhAt's YoUr nAmE KiD?" He gasps.

"I-Ink. Ink Sans of original Inktale." I rasp, my stamina ever so slowly returning.

"DouBtFuL. AlL Of tHe InkS WeRE DusTeD bY NiGhtMArE." He growls.

"Well, I am very much alive, idiot. So crawl on back to your hole while I fix this mess." I growl back.

To my surprise, he actually listens and opens a portal. He shoots me a huge grin and laughs.

"SeE yOu AroUnD InKy! i Won'T LeT yOU WiN sO EasY NeXt tImE!"

He vanished through the portal with a wave. I got up as quick as I could, sure that he was going to come back with Nightmare and the rest. I grabbed my paintbrush and started to quickly redraw the towns as my fear was rising. The people were very confused as they were suddenly thrown back into existence and I can't blame them. I explained to them what happened and, to my surprise, they all hugged me. Suddenly, Blue and Dream walked through Dream's portal and ran to me. I was quite shocked to see that Blue looked furious.

"DON'T YOU EVER DO THAT TO US AGAIN!!! NO NOTE! NO NOTHING! YOU JUST DISAPPEARED ON US INK! WE WERE SCARED WE'D LOST YOU AGAIN!"

Dream nods slowly behind them, then looks around confused.

"How did you rebuild this, Ink? Error had almost completely destroyed it."

"I, uhm... I can do that right? T-that's allowed?" I stammered.

"That's amazing. None of us can recreate a Universe once it's been destroyed. Tell you what, we'll talk about it over dinner. I can tell you're very tired." He whispered the last part to me.

I nodded in agreement and waved one last time to the restored townsfolk, who merrily waved back. Then, I stepped through the portal, unaware that Blue, Dream, and I were being watched.

Error's view:

I didn't portal that far away. I had to see what this "Ink" would do next. I portal right back, but out of sight and watch as he repaints the town?!? No one could undo the damage I do! Then, he somehow manages to get the human's soul from the void and restored the human! Who is this kid? How does he have such power? Could he really defeat us? These questions burned in my skull as he left back to the Star Base. I chuckled to myself.

"We'Ll bE SeEinG eAcH OtHEr SoOneR thAn You ThiNk, KiD."

(A/N Hello, hello again. Either A, I have nothing better to do and just like to write. Or B, I just hate doing schoolwork and put it off as long as I can. I think we know what the answer is. Yep! It's C, I am a total Sans and LazyBones. Thank you for reading!)
