The Reason Behind a Mangled Soul

Error

     The glitch known as Error was pretty injured. He always was in some form or another. He was in the Anti-void, his home. He limped to a box. His magic had just started trying to heal him from his newer injuries he had received for doing his thankless job. He got out knitting needles and started working. 

     His job was to be destroyer. He was forced to see many monsters die at his own hands. He had to kill them. If he destroyed the world without killing any of the monsters in it they would be doomed to the void, a fate worse than death. The reason why he destroyed worlds was because of the balance. The balance between creation and destruction. 

     Most would assume that a being known as Fate had created Ink, told him of the balance, Ink didn't hear, and instead of bothering to remind Ink they forced a Sans or some other monster or person to destroy. This was... Not true. There were no beings known as Fate or even Destiny. There was only the multiverse. 

     First there was Undertale. Ink later arrived and started to create too many AUs. The multiverse sensed itself on the verge of collapsing. A new balance needed to be kept. The multiverse ended up forming Error. 

     No one knows how Error was formed, not even he himself. Error remembered none of his past, and probably wouldn't for a long time with his memory. His memory wasn't that bad, just his memories would get jumbled up. 

     Eventually, he finished what he was working on. It was a bandanna. It was a bandanna he made using an old tattered red scarf in his inventory. It felt very important to him and he wanted to give Blue a gift that told him how much he cared for him, so that's why he decided to turn it into a bandanna.

"𝔑𝔬𝔱 𝔮𝔲𝔦𝔱𝔢 𝔞𝔰 𝔦𝔫𝔫𝔬𝔠𝔢𝔫𝔱 𝔱𝔥𝔬𝔲𝔤𝔥," a wise and kind motherly voice chimed in, amused, making Error feel amused as well. 

     Error was used to these voices. Sometimes, it didn't feel like they were in his head... But coming from his SOUL. He thought he was probably crazy though. He stared at the bandanna for a moment. 

"W̏ͫ҉̢̳̝ë̘͉̖́͒̉̒̚͟͡ ̭̲̬̎ͯͤ͛̑̄͘h̨̝͕̣̻͚̰̙̳̆ͥ̔̓͗ͯ̀̏́a̡͕̤͉͂ͣ̓ͩͬ̐̅͌́̕v͈̦̺̍͑ͫ̓̕e͐ͧ̎ͤ͏̵̟̭̝͈̙̗͇̼ ̝̜̗̗̫͖͕̭̑͆ͭ̈́̈͠͡a̶͉̫͍̬̹̙̗̺̓͂͢ ̧͙͚͇͖̠͙͕͕ͬͮ͝n̷̻̪ͮe̠̲̦ͩ͗̀́͟w̴̬͍͚̦̙͑͛̐̎̊̎ͅ ̵̧̮̻̅͗̎̒ͪ͊̐͊ͅb͈̳̮̞́͊̂̀ͅr̴͇͈̒͜o̴̲̣͔̩͑̌͋t̔̐̓̔ͥ̂ͮ̀͏̸̣̩̥͠h͕̤̰̥̯͎̱͚ͬ̈̉̒͒͑͒̚e̸̸̯̔ͫ͢r̸̮̪̆ͥ̽ ̴̵̛̳͓̻͗̄̓̆̌̏͑̀ñ͈̣̪͚̉̒̌ͣ͠o̢̨̥̝͇͉͉̔ͯͥ͂̏ͦẁ̨̛͍̤̪̙̊̿.̡̥̫̜ͪ̑ͤ̒̊̄.̪̳ͩ.̨̲̮̥̱̘ͩ̍̑̑ͤ́ͨ́ ̳̲͚͙͙̇̊͆̓ͯ͐͗̔͟͞ͅͅ" they said quietly, causing Error to hug the bandanna close. 

     All Error could do was agree. It felt right to agree. He somehow felt sad... But at the same time, he was happy. 

"ℑ'𝔪 𝔤𝔩𝔞𝔡 𝔶𝔬𝔲/𝔴𝔢 𝔠𝔞𝔫 𝔪𝔬𝔳𝔢 𝔬𝔫," the other voice chimed. 

     After a few moments of wondering what just happened, he decided to finally leave the Anti-void, putting the bandanna in his inventory. He opened a portal to a dark and gloomy looking place, and left through. He was now in the Nightmare's mansion, where the gang lived. The gang were called the Bad Sans's by many who didn't even know them. There was absolute chaos, as usual with the gang. 

     Killer was juggling knives, Cross was getting chased by a cow that was getting chased by Horror, Dust looked like he'd rather be anywhere but here, and Nightmare was in his emo corner reading a book and trying to ignore everyone. 

     "Hey Error," he said not looking up from his book. 

     "HeY NiGhT," he replied. 

     Everyone else stopped what they were doing and also greeted Error and Error greeted them back as well. 

     "HaVe YoU sEeN BlUe?" the glitch asked. 

     "He should be here in about 3... 2... And-" Nightmare was cut off by the sound of a door slamming open. 

     "IT IS I, THE MAGNIFICENT BLUE! What do you need Error?" he said. 

     Error took the red bandanna from his inventory. 

     "I dOn'T r-ReMeMbEr ExAcTlY wHy, BuT tHiS iS iMpOrTaNt To Me, AnD yOu'Re LiKe A bRoThEr T-tO mE! tHiS uSeD tO bE a ScArF bUt I tUrNeD iT iNtO a BaNdAnNa," he told him, giving him the gift. 

     Blue was in awe for a moment, before quickly grabbing the bandanna and putting it on. 

     "I'LL TREASURE IT FOREVER! MWEHEHE!" Blue assured him. 

     Error relaxed at this. He wasn't some evil destroyer with no friends. He was Error, friends with Nightmare and his group and brothers with Blue. He also was the duncle to the not so evil Chara equivalents who where blamed for the genocide routes. He didn't have to worry about before the Anti-void. He, was Error.
