Chapter Text
A familiar sensation went over Error as he ground his teeth together in anger. Someone somewhere had done a True Reset. Someone had reset another one of the stupid glitches he had destroyed.
“Dammit.” He growled. “Who keeps resetting these STUPID GLITCHES?!?”
This had been happening to him far too often lately. He’d feel a reset, trace it back to it’s source, and find out someone had reset one of the timelines he had destroyed. Apparently, there was a new “hero” destroying all the hard work he put into eradicating the multi-verse of all those mistakes and bringing them back.
The name of the so called “savior of the multi-verse” made him feel like he was going to burst into flames every time he heard it.
Bluescreen.
He HATED him! As soon as he found him he would make him pay for all he had done to him. He traced the reset back to the source timeline it had come from and his eyes widened in shock then flared up in rage.
The True Reset had come from Underswap.
“FUCKING BLUEBERRY!” He shouted enraged and brought up a portal to Underswap.
Chara watched Sans as he and his brother had their little exchange. Papyrus was cracking his jokes, Sans was stomping his foot and yelling as usual. Everything seemed to have gone back to normal.
Chara frowned at them from behind the convenient lamp. How was this possible? How was Sans here? He had stayed back in the anti-void. They sighed and slumped down.
After Sans ran off and Papyrus motioned for them to come out from their hiding spot he asked them, “So, do you think it’s him or…?”
Chara sighed and shook their head, “I don’t see any signs that he is…” They crossed their arms. “Then again, I don’t see any signs that he isn’t either.”
Papyrus shrugged, “Well, at least he’s here, right?” He smiled down at them.
“Right.” Chara nodded smiling but still felt disappointed.
“Well, better catch up with him. Before he comes back.” Papyrus said gesturing in the direction Sans had went. “I’ll be up ahead if you need me.” He snapped his fingers and took a shortcut to the path ahead.
Chara sighed and walked after the two skeletons.
“Is that…? Is that a human?!?”
“Uh… Actually, I think that’s a rock.”
“Oh.”
“Hey, what’s that in front of the rock?”
“OH MY GOD! Is...is that a human?”
“Yes.”
“OH MY GOD! Papyrus! I finally did it!”
Chara watched Papyrus and Sans’ exchange closely even though they had experienced it several times before. There was still no change in the way Sans acted. He acted as if he had never been in the anti-void at all. There wasn’t even a slight change.
It was like he was a completely new Sans entirely.
“Sans?” They asked him on their ‘date’. “Want to hear a joke?”
Sans glared at them for a second then said hesitantly, “Alright…”
“Knock knock…” Chara said their chest filling with hope. Please remember. Please remember. Please remember.
“Who’s there?” He asked skeptically his eyebrow raised.
Please! Please! Please! They chanted in their head continuing to tell the joke.
“Dishes.”
Sans looked confused, “Dishes who?”
Pleeeeease!
“I don’t know who dish is! I just came to deliver a package!” They waited for him to gasp in contemplation or laugh but…
It never came.
Sans groaned annoyed, “Ugh! Human! You’ve got to stop spending so much time with Papyrus!”
All the hope Chara had for Sans remembering their time together in the anti-void left them at that moment.
“Ok, Sans.” They said bitterly. “I will.”
Error watched as Blueberry and Chara talked together in front of the skeleton brother’s house. He laughed a disturbing laugh. Did they think that everything could just go back to normal because the stupid human reset?
They were going to be quite surprised.
He stepped closer to them and overheard their conversation, “Ok, Sans. I will.”
“No you won’t.” He said in a sinister voice coming up behind them.
The human gasped and hid behind Blueberry when they saw him, “Error!” They exclaimed frightened.
Blueberry just looked between them confused, “Error? Human, is that a friend of yours?” He asked and Chara shook their head rapidly. Blueberry looked Error over perplexed, “Then who is he?”
“Then who is he?”
Chara was shocked at Sans.
How could he not remember Error! The person who completely ruined their lives. The person who killed everyone they loved. There was no way he forgot that! You would think seeing Error would at least jog some of his memory!
“How do you not remember who he is!?! He killed all our friends, tried to destroy our timeline, almost made you kill Papyrus, kidnapped you, and then left you to die!” She screamed at him in frustration.
“Really?” Sans eyes widened. “He did all that? Wow. He must really be hurting inside.” He turned to Error and looked him in the eyes. “Isn’t that right?” He asked him. “You’re hurting inside?”
“Isn’t that right?” Blueberry asked Error catching him off guard. “You’re hurting inside?” He was looking Error straight in the eyes without a trace of fear. It shocked Error so bad he blue screened for a minute.
How stupid was Blueberry? He really thought that he could help him?!? How pathetic. No one would ever be able to help him. He didn’t need help. He didn’t want help! All he wanted was to destroy all the stupid glitches!
“You know, I’m really getting tired of your shit.” Error growled at him. “This time I’m going to END your stupid timeline and I’m going to kill YOU TWO FIRST!” He lifted up his hand to grab their souls with his strings when he felt something wrap around and tug at his own.
“N-nO yOu'RE n-NOt.” A familiar but heavily glitched voice came from behind him. “N-NOt if I have a-any say i-IN tH-thiS.” Error snapped his head back angrily towards the voice to see who stopped him and the sight that came to his eyes made him stop completely in his tracks.
“What?” He said staring in awe at the figure across from him.
Chara cringed prepared for Error’s attack when they heard another glitched voice join Error’s, “N-nO yOu'RE n-NOt. N-NOt if I have a-any say i-IN tH-thiS.” Chara opened their eyes and gasped when they saw Error being held back by another error’s strings.
But it wasn’t just any error holding him back. It was their Sans! The one who had been left behind in the anti-void months earlier.
“What?” Error said staring at him looking utterly mind boggled.
“Sans!” Chara exclaimed running out from behind his double and up to their Sans. They hugged him tight as tears started to streak down their face. It was him. It really and truly was him. He never forgot at all! He was replaced!
“Oh, h-HeLlo, hUMaN!” Sans grinned down at them. “I-iT’s nice to s-see you ag-gAiN!” He gestured towards Error, “But I’m currently tied up at the moment.” He lightly pushed them off him as they chuckled at his joke. “So, if you d-dOn’T miNd. I n-nEEd to f-FiNIsh whAT I hAVe st-stARTeD.”
Chara nodded and ran back over to Sans’ double.
Bluescreen watched carefully as Chara ran back over to the double of himself.
He couldn’t let them get hurt.
He wouldn’t let them get hurt.
He had done a lot in a month. He had freed half of the humans whom Error had trapped and brought them back to their own timelines. Often times someone would be there waiting for them to come back. Whether it be a Sans or someone else. There was always someone who was thankful to see their human stepping out one of his portals.
Sometimes, no one was waiting for them. Most of the time when this occurred a monotone Frisk with black eyes, whom he now knew was called Core!Frisk, had taken them away. But the human was always happy and the human always reset. And Bluescreen always made sure he was gone before they did.
He was somewhat of a legend now. People across several timelines knew his name.
Bluescreen: Savior of the Multi-verse.
Now it was time for him to save it again.
“Well, well, well…” Error said grinning evilly. “What do we have here?” He tilted his head slightly to the left and mocked him. “Is that you, wimpy Blueberry?”
“MY n-NaMe iS n-NoT BLUEbeRry aNyMore. NoR I-is iT SAnS.” He tightened his grip on Error’s soul. “It’s BlUEsCrEEn. SAVIOR OF THE MULTI-VERSE!”
Error could not believe his eyes. The wimpy little Blueberry he had left in the anti-void was now standing before him as an error. How ironic.
He lightly chuckled to himself, “Well, well, well… What do we have here?” He asked. “Is that you, wimpy Blueberry?”
Error Blueberry’s face slightly darkened and Error felt the thread wrapped around his soul get tighter, “MY n-NaMe iS n-NoT BLUEbeRry aNyMore. NoR I-is iT SAnS.” Error Blueberry yelled at him. “It’s BlUEsCrEEn. SAVIOR OF THE MULTI-VERSE!”
Error recoiled back in surprise. No way. It couldn’t be. You mean the stupid glitch that had been ruining everything he’d done this whole time was BLUEBERRY!
“YOU!” He used his own strings to grab “Bluescreen”’s soul. “You’re the one whose been restoring everything I worked so hard to delete!” Error roared at Bluescreen his eyes burning with hatred.
Bluescreen recoiled back the strings that were now pulling his soul, “HEh.” He lightly tugged at the strings wrapped around his soul. “YeAh, I hAVe. BuT nOt aLoNe.” He replied nonchalantly. “Core!Frisk and Ink are still out there… Still wOrKiNG. You kill me and NOTHING WILL CHANGE.” Error could feel his soul being crushed by Bluescreen threads as they tightened. “I KILL YOU THOUGH AND EVERYTHING WILL CHANGE!”
Error laughed a wretched laugh and smiled. “That’s where you’re wrong ‘Bluescreen’,” He sneered. “there’s others out there destroying worlds as well. I’m not the only one. Just one that’s well known. And seeing how you’re an error now you may just BECOME ONE OF THEM!” He stared into the other error’s eyes. “I can tell you’ve already lost parts of yourself. You’re going to lose more anyways. You might as well not try. Because in the end it doesn’t matter. Nothing does.”
Bluescreen ground his teeth together and yelled, “I don’t c-cARe what y-YOu haVE to SAy! I won’t l-LEt you harm anYOnE anyMOre! I WILL NOT!” Bluescreen ran straight at Error and pushed them both into a portal he brought up out of nowhere.
Error and Bluescreen both fell endlessly through a world that was nothing more than blue. Everything faded away from around them and time seemed to stop completely. Words and numbers that made no sense floated around them. And seemingly at the same time they both crashed.

Chara watched horrified as the portal closed behind Bluescreen and Error as they fell through it. “NO SANS!” They ran to where the portal had been and fell to their knees crying.
He had saved them. But he had sacrificed himself in doing so and Chara would never see him again.
Sans’ double walked up behind them and stroked their back trying to calm them down. He talked to them in a hushed voice. But Chara just continued to cry.
He truly was the savior of the multi-verse.
