*Ink would let out a slight cry after hitting the ground not too hard, as he was quick to turn his head and catches dream who had yet to hit the ground * "Dream?" *ink check his HP and it was in no danger of dying in fact he seem to be doing better already from being in a less negativity fill au even if they was also having lots of negative feelings, and lots of positive as well but what's worried ink now was the hopelessness ink spot in dream's eyes as he look at the abyss* *ink slowly shake the guardian* "Dream!?" DREAM COME ONE..COME ONE PAL SNAP OUT OF IT!" While corrupting the AU Nightmare thinks about how unresponsive Dream was. 'Idiot came here weakened, no wonder it was so easy to defeat him today. Though it's the first time he was so quick to give to the negative emotions. Curious indeed.' The work done Nightmare gathers his team and opens a portal to random AU to make a few jumps before heading back to the hideout. *Ink caring and sweetly push him gently close and hug dream* *as dream start to slower come to get grip * (Dream) "I ink!?" "Wh where are we?" *Ink turn his head to the au they was in* "that's what i like to know...it's clearly a fell au..." maybe swapfell.." *light and not nightmare feeling red sky waved over the au* "Hey boss, why do we never try to kill those two?" asked Horror once they were safely in their hideout. Nightmare turned his shatp gaze towards the bloody skeleton and answered in a quiet, chilling voice "Because the valance is needed, because there is no darkness without the light, we may weaken the light to the point where snuffing it out would be easy but even if we kill another will appear, maybe stronger, and we can't risk it, without Ink there will be no new AU and the circle of destruction and creation will stop which is also bad. So we maim and break those two but don't you dare kill them or you will have to deal with severe consequences. GOT IT!" Nightmare's shout startled them and forced hurried" Y-yes, boss." out of them. With that Nightmare turned away and went to his office to relax for a while until he needed to plan another day of work for the bloodthirsty idiots downstairs. *Ink was fast to able to spot this was fellswap, as being the guardian who hold creation, but ink also, started to relax as they were safe but he soon let out a shock cry when dream standing up next to him gasped dreadful as he was in hororr* -(ink ) *blink sad and let down* "Let me guess. we fail again.?" sighed?" *dream didn't need to say anything * 'The balance is not in the danger yet, Dream should be able to spare one or two more positive AUs this month, but if I get it too quickly then the team will get bored.' Nightmare sighed after checking on the balance of the light and the dark. 'What should I do next.' Looking through some papers Nightmare thinks about his next move. Tired by the fight, but still energized thanks to the increasing negativity of the multiverse. 'For now I may just send them to look for an AU that is fit to be corrupted, maube to spy on the star Sanses.' With that Nightmare decided to take rest of the day to rest. If the team gets restless he will tell them to go and train or something. Just to leave him alone with his thoughts about Dream and his state after today's fight. *About 10 to 12 minutes ink had taken dream headed to a hide out he knew of in this au , they were hitting up not too large or high mountain s but many large rocks they had to carefully walk along , ink would use his brush but were, tired out and weak from the fight, the cut started to hurt worst from the walk, as he moan in pain for a moment leaning on a wall as dream reach and held him stand * *ink reassure dream he is fine and smiled at him, and dream and ink went on climbing behind more large rocks as ink start to wonder why was dream being so , quiet ?*it certain wasn't like him.* *ink brush the thoughts aside for now as he took dream along holding his shoulders, * *Nightmare thinks about the fight* 'Dream was quiet, even though he was emanating positive feelings they were weak. Did he really jump into a fight without recovering at least to the point where he was capable of defending himself? Heh, he always was reckless. If this continues he will die on his own acord without me raising a finger. He must not be used to such a low level of positivity, even if right now it is closer to being balanced with negativity. And this hollow look in his eyes, something is happening to him that is making him more vulnerable to my negativity. Well, either way I will figure it out.' *ink sighed as he pushed the burning pain from his 'cuts,' as he made it more than half way, *look at the door way like large hole in the mountain * * he pushed dream along* "C come on...this way we're almost there...friend..." *tone a bit calmer now but sadness in his tone*, Puzzled Nightmare leaves his room and heads into the garden to the tree behind which just yesterday was standing Dream. Without second thought he uses his tentacles to climb up and lost in thoughts starts looking at the stars peppering the dark sky. *Ink finally behind the mountain hole cover by vines was not too far out a large safe house, ink hurry dream after staring at it calmly before panting a bit, headed to the forth , ink took his hands from his shaking up friend momentarily as dream hug himself breathing shaking up sounded, as ink reach under the mat to retrieve the key, as he did so and got ready to unlocked the forth door dream would shaking more holding himself as himself and his look shifted now looking more suspicious, ink didn't take long to unlocked the door and swing it open and went to put his hands comfortingly on dream's shoulders as dream breathing an ok, as ink whiper softwords to him and take him inside, the home was nice, and had a large living room , they first enter, and a some sofas nice ones as well and a tv and all made of magic, , *ink let go of dream once inside and went to locked the door once dream look at the abyss Puzzling and Puzzling * Lost in thought Nightmare went down the memory lane and started remembering his time from before his corruption. The green lush tree, full of apples, the sun and his brother, the careless, bright little skeleton, smiling at him, so clueless about the real world. *ink was thankful nightmare didn't turn him over to dream today about what he did and how ink left dream nearly not meaning to by any means but nearly causing him his life but he fear that may not be the cast in the future, so ink went off, to check up on him* as he reach a hand to touch his shoulder * -"Hey you ok!?" *dream move a bit from the touch as if he didnt want it as he whimper sounded shaking up* "N not..really.." *ink blink to blue sad eyes* "I know but we made it here....we're both ok this place is very well hidden .." *ink gave assuring words as dream stay turn from ink and oddly never made eye contact to him, since the fight, as ink went on dream look as if he had others things on his mind,* " we can lay low here, for now....till we are ready to make our next move..." *dream whisper a shaky worried tone* "That's not what i'm worried about.." *ink turn a bit shock but also fearing he knew what dream was about to say* **Dream look finally turning to face ink suspicious looking* " "Ink?" "When my brother said ,about making the right choice this time, what did he mean?" *ink pause * (Ink sighed as he took set with dream* -"How, much, did you, remember,,?- w when did you- or ummm .." *dream with care and kindness answer sitting next to ink* -"It started to come back bit by bit when we were fighting nightmare.." *dream started a bit less shaking which ink was glad for now however did need to act fast * -"I remember the bigger parts , half kind of i remember nightmare at that au, " *dream look down struggling* "I remember, skying and overhearing his plans, and i i it all.." (ink speak up again but whisper nervous* "What else do you remember ?" *shake his head * "it's mostly a haze after we first got that, even pass out i remember hearing words my brother said even some less words needed to remember .." *dream grew upset turning his head back to ink* "What i don't remember mostly is how things got from you fighting nightmare to me nearly dying in heaventale!" *Ink froze* *Ink rose to his feet turning from dream* "I ....umm i really think we should talk about something else pal.." *tone nervous *dream stand up serious and willful* "Ink please i need you to tell me the truth .." *Ink kept his glazed from him* *remembering what really happened * (flashback) I'm sorry buddy..last thing i wanted was to leave you like this here but there no time,, i cared deeply for you, your my best friend and hopefully these comforting words will hold you over till i can return .." *smiled sadly but hopeful as he gently sit dream down on the ground* *ink turn back after sighing deeply* "I just don't wanna upset you." *dream pleading with a serious noble but mad tone* "INK i'm stronger than you treat me please!" (Ink sighed ) "Ok....i'll tell you everything..." *cut back to cut away now showing the two boy sitting again as dream look down sadly* "I see.....that's it then i can't wrap my head around it.." *ink whisper sad* -"I know.." *dream look to ink* "I can't believed how far my br-n...nightmare went ..." *Ink gently rubbed his shoulders* "I know pal, he's crazy....i tr...try to get you out sooner..he try to stop me and force us into a deadly fight i nearly got away with you in one piece .." **ink pleading serious* I mean.." *ink waved his hands in the air, as dream look away sad but understanding * "Your brother done some pretty evil things but to try to let you die...umm.. " *pause seeing how sad dream look* *ink's tone grew caring and loud* "Dream... "I am so so sorry.." *dream tear up looking away * "Me too.." *dream softly whisper * ink reach and hug dream for comfort ** *By this time dream was already fast asleep as ink had took him to a space room to rest. ink stay with him the whole night he picked making a book on the ground**dream was still very fast asleep ,it's no wonder he was that tired out, it been a long two days, so dream clearly needed the sleeping a bit in, * "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TWO DOING!!!" Nightmare shouted at the arguing skeletons. Now that they noticed him they went completely quiet. "Well. What is it?" he asked. "You were so keen on being loud why so quiet all of sudden?" Nightmare questioned, not really expecting any sane answer considering who he was talking to. 'They probably just bumped into each other and then went feral.' Nightmare sighed and silently stared at the two guilty looking skeletons. *Ink however was no where to be seen, as the little dreams n hopes guardian slept on a bit longer* "B-boss, it's I-ink" quietly replied Horror. "What about him?" asked Nightmare suddenly worried. *Dream begin awaken finally,* "mmm.." *his eyes flash pretty open, *look and slower let his self take in being back to the living room* *he yawn looking refresh * *till he turn to noticed , ink wasn't in the bed they made for him last night , **Dream sit up a bit confused but thankfully not scared, he did titled his head curious however, *" "M maybe he finishing up a shower ..?" *sweetly guess* *A inky blast hit coming nightmare's way* Surprised Nightmare lifts his tentacles to protect himself from the hit. "What the-" 'What is Ink doing here!' Blinking away the dust that entered his eyes Nightmare threw several bones towards Ink. "Get ready for an evacuation!" Nightmare shouted to the others, "grab what you need and get ready for escape!" with that the dark skeleton turned towards the invader. *Ink was far aware nightmare had many aus under his power and hides out, so he was hell bent on stopping him in the one he found as he dash at him again sending out more ink warrior matter* "HIA!" *glaring serious*
