Run
That single word that was the thing that ring in my ears as I ran in the dark cold frost trying to figure my way out. I'm scared and confuse but I didn't running as five dark figure followed after me. My heart was pending out of my cheat as I try my best to get away from them the bast I can. As I ran though the dark woods trying to avoid bushes, and tree branches I keep hearing these whispers coming everywhere they sound close I look around me to find where it was coming from. But I didn't see a log in front of me that was in front of me tell I fall face first in the mud.
"ow." I say quickly as I pick myself up but then I hared a snap like branch behind me.
I jumped and try to get up but fall when I felt pain shot up my leg must have spread it on that log. I heard other sound I looked around me to find a weapon or some place to hide until I found it. One of the trees had hollow just big enough for me to fit in watch was prefect because I can hear the footsteps getting closer to were I'm. I quickly made my way to the opening and pushing my way and waited. I heard the footsteps getting closer and closer they were right on top of me I can see right in front of me I close my eyes tightly hold my breath listening to my pounding heart beat as they just stood there. Then I hared the foot steps walk away from so I let out the breath that I was holding the foot step slowly fade out of earshot but I sated just to make sure that who every was following me where completely gone. As I slowly relax my body I felt the tiredness from for who knows how long take me. I was getting sleepy but no, I need to stay awake I need to keep moving but my eyes felt heavy no matter how hard I try sleep was coming and all I can do I could do was close my eyes and drafted off to sleep.
[In Nightmare castle]
In the Nightmare kingdom King Nightmare Sans sat on his throne room in silence calculating on what to do his plans to rule the multiverse but thanks to the star Sans his plans have been going painfully slow. Even with the Nightmare gang that he recruited have been great by great I mean a pain in his sides. With Dust he agreed thanks to Nightmare's little persuasion he works will with the others will not Killer but always but at following orders Error Destroy of Au's, give the promise of destroying Au's and to brake a deal with Ink, Killer for the chance for something new he became Nightmare's loyal lap dog, Horror to feed his brother and the other monster in his AU, Cross was the easy fool with the promised to fix his Au. Nightmare had recruited these Sans from the most cruel, lost hope, unfeeling, destroyed and ruthless Au's and so far everything was going as according to plain right now they were able to cleat one small vile of determination from Frisk from other AU's from horrotale, swaptale, Gtale and final Undertale. Sure they may have lost all there pets but he got what I needed all he needed now was how to use it. This small vile was the key to control the resat but not even the god of fear he is still a monster that can not handle it not unless he wants to be alchemation.
But right now he let the others off for Nightmare needed to do some for his next plain. The plain was to do some experiment but can't let the star Sans notice what his doing before it's too late by having Nightmare gang to do some chaos and destroy a few AU"s but after there fight thought it was best to give them a brake for now. They did waken the Star Sans and this gave Nightmare some time to think about his next move. That was about two weeks ago and he had a plain ready to go and had the lab room dungeon ready to go. All he need was science to do much of the work where he and others keep the others occupied Nightmare would them it himself but can't tip his brother off who would notice that his not around with high amount of nativity but no, Nightmare. Beside he alright have skeleton in mind for the job just waiting for his response to his little request so now all he had to do was wait and once he had answer than he can put his plain in to motion. But right now he had nothing to do so he was bored there was nothing to do not even in his kingdom he done all kingly dotes.
"Huh I guess I can spared some horror to some poor soul." Nightmare said let out sigh of boredom and teleport out of the throne room and into the dream space.
This dream space was endless to all of the multiverses to the ones sleeping or half sleep, or just day dreaming. This is where Dream and Nightmare got all they'er magic though all the feeling of every monster and humans. The stronger the emotion the stronger they got witch was always Nightmare Sans. Nightmare walked though the endless space turning dreams into nightmares will doing so. But this quickly was getting boring the dream themselves where not all that inserting a long with the nightmares.
"I didn't think it was possible with ever Au's of every multiverse in the palm of hand and I can't find anything to do. Well that's a new low even for a sans." Nightmare said looking around for something interesting.
Right when he was about to give up and leave something caught his eyes socket. It was a dream and nightmare both as one. Nightmare can't remember seeing something like this before. He never felt anything like this it was strong yet felt a gentleness from fear and kindness.
"Well that's new." Nightmare said walking though it to closer look with his new toy.
Once Nightmare sans standing over it he getting a better look of it and to his surprise Nightmare had thought was fighting for control over one other was not the case no. It was the exact opposite they were working as one. Helping one other not one was stronger or weaker than the other they were same as equals. Like what Dream and he used to be Nightmare shock that thought out of his mind.
"Well let's see what makes you so interesting." Nightmare said hoping to get some fun out of this one.
But the moment he touch it, it turned into crimson red and soon Nightmare Sans was hit with this violent wave of rage. This rage felt so strong like nothing he ever felt before. It was like walking though fire no, lava it felt like every bone in his body was malting this was pure brittle rage. He couldn't give in he just need to push though and before he knew it he was in the dream.
( In your Dream world)
Nightmare took several deep breaths it was just so overwhelmingly to say the least. Who ever dream this was has some deep seeded hate. After a few minutes he looked around to see nothing but an empty white void like space who every they be must be half sleep. Nightmare decided not to use his magic yet to make them sleep already. He wanted to take his time and see how things plays out before he made any of his changes. The world around him began to change to the woods in the dark Nightmare thought this place looked flamer but thought nothing of it you seen one dark woods you seen them all. Nightmare walked around for bit but then felt other president here like someone else came in here with him was it his brother? He couldn't tell how he felt it was like brash of wind there but gone the next but he wasn't worried about and continued he stopped when he saw something no, someone about five to say. There was blueberry, Dream, classic, G, Classic, Fall and honey(swap Papyrus) but no Ink something flet off like someone change the dream a bit how he haven't notice before was mystery to him. Nightmare could hear them whispering in a very low that Nightmare missed it the first time but couldn't make out what they were saying.
"Ok this is odd. Who dream am I in?" Nightmare questioned walking a up until he was about an arm late to hear them better.
As he got closer he noticed that they've been standing there still unmoving. Than again must of dream people where all like that to give out a more hunting feeling he should know he would use that all the time so it wasn't unusual to him. Once he was close enough he could finally hear what they were saying.
"Nightmare yes. Dust yes. Horror yes. Killer yes. Error yes. Cross yes. No, Black, no, Fall no, Bill no, Razz no, Scoundrel's no." They all said in unison this over and over like they where going down a list of some kind.
This was getting more wired by the minute he didn't understand what was going on. Nightmare had a bad feeling about this and usually took a lot riedel the king of fear. He couldn't feel anything good or bad coming from this place he couldn't feel joy or hope or fear for some reason he couldn't feel it giving him power. No, it felt as if was suffocating feel more draining than giving almost as if this place was taking magic from him. But that was unlikely there was no, way Nightmare had power over every dream. Yet why did he feel worry his the king of nightmares there was no, dream he couldn't control and make his own. So he place a hand on manifestation of his brother out of the way to see who they where talking too. But once he place a hand on him the whispering immediately stopped as if they finally ethnology Nightmare Sans present. He quickly pulled his hand back because the Star Sans stated slowly they turned to nightmare almost robot like.
Nightmare sockets widen in shock at what he saw the site before him. Everyone where smile in this sadistic sickening crazy smiles almost mirroring the Nightmare gang. They all had what killer have black ink like liquid coming out of their sockets. To Nightmare it was very strange look on his brother Dream to who Nightmare was used in seeing him with sweetest and kind heart one. Nightmare was surprise but kept his cool everything was fine he was used in see creepy things like this all the time it he was jut off gourd by it. Besides they'er not even real not like they could hurt him in this dream world. Beside it looked like they were all looking at what was behind him. Nightmare turned and almost jumped out of skin you know if he had skin at what was behind him he found that it was no other then ink no more in mere inches in Nightmare face Ink was like the others except his eyes were closed but still leaking black stuff and a gentle smile.
"Alright enough with this creepy shit." Nightmare said readying his magic to take control of this situation.
Nightmare tired using his magic to take control of this place but nothing happen he tried again but nothing. That was impossible he couldn't use his magic in here but how? How was this even possibly? Nightmare jumped a few feet away from dream ink and the others imposters trying to get some distance from them. Nightmare just needed to think and figure out why his magic isn't working but dream ink had other plans his smile wide smile and teleport in front of Nightmare Sans dream Ink grabbed Nightmare arm before he could run away again.
'Damen it! I let my guard down!' Nightmare yelled angry to himself.
Nightmare tired to pull his arm away but that only made dream Ink held him tighter to the it pint hurt. Wait hurt!? Like it really hurt the more he struggle the more this dream creature tightened his hold on him. No, this can't be possible nothing should be able to hurt him here something was wrong very wrong here. The dream creature Ink leaned closer to nightmare uncomfortably close to his face. That's when dream Ink spoke in a low deep hunting and whole voice.
"Let the games begin." Was all it said from the ink monster letting Nightmare go after words.
Nightmare was confuse of what he meant by this. Who was doing all this? Never had someone had such control of there manifestations well somehow stopping Nightmare from his own magic to change the world around them. They air around him was beginning to become more suffering almost unbearable. Nightmare began to cough and gasping for air in his non-existent lungs. Nightmare almost fall to his knees but kept himself standing. Nightmare couldn't tell with each minute he was here having a hard time trying to catch his breath. Nightmare tired to keep his eyes on the dream copycats of the to keep them in his seat but every looked like there were five or more. Nightmare like to the side and could have sworn he saw someone in the tree sleeping away unaware of the world around them but he couldn't be both with it right now. Nightmare was slowly losing his cautiousness he needed to get out of here before he fall unconscious. That was than Nightmare heard someone laughing it wasn't one but multiple of them. Nightmare looked up he could see the dream conscious clearly anymore besides they're creepy smile he knew they were face him. They were laughing, laughing at Nightmare and for some reason that just piss Nightmare off. As if the master of this dream world was laughing at how pathetic and weak he was.
'Who ever this is when I get out of I'm personally going to take great pleasure in killing you. Slowly and pain fully.' Nightmare thought trying to focus on his magic but that mocking laughter was just too much.
"Enough! What's wrong afraid to face to face me so you need your little puppet's to do it for you!" Nightmare yelled challenging the puppeteer of this sick game.
The laughter all but became snickering and was just looking at Nightmare with blank, unmoving, unblinking, and unsettling stares. Nightmare must have provoked them that must be enough to for them to show themselves. Nightmare smirk to himself at how stupid this person was to reveling themselves to him. Puppet like dream group slowly moved to one side to make way to the one in charge. Good the moment he knew he would know where they're from and put them in there place in the real world. almost suddenly then they started to move witch made nightmare take a defensive stand. But that was quickly live at the site before him.
It was dark midnight purple slim like monster at first he couldn't make out the shape of it but could make out that his arms and head looking down to the floor somewhat. It was like nightmare in away with tentacles and ink like stuff coming off it's body. It was what Nightmare looked when he first took bite of his black apple. But that was it the rest was like it was definitely a monster that's for sure that was falling a part. It slowly picked up it's head to looks up the creature one glow purple pupils looked straight at him. It opens it's slime mouth and looked like trying to say something but all that came out was gargling and hissing sounds. Nightmare wanted to look away but didn't want to be caught off guard again. This thing was so disgusting to him and wanted out of this place he didn't have enough to just yet. Whatever he'll take it he used as much of magic to manifest a door way out of here.
'Ofcourse wouldn't want to make it too easy.' Nightmare thought sarcastically to himself. He waste no time and ran for the door not looking back.
That was when that thing let out a blood curdling scream as the world around them fall a part they'er waking up. Even so nightmare didn't turn back to look just keeping his focus on the door as well avoiding the broken parts of this dream escape. But once he made it to the door when it let out loud bloodcurdling scream of it's last words.
"G.E.T. O.U.T!" It yelled as Nightmare quickly open the door and jump shouting the door behind himself.
(End of dream world)
I wake up with start panting I don't know why? I think it was because of that I had but can remember it right now. But I think I'll worry about that latter but for now I need to find some help and my knee feels better now. I crawl out of the whole tree and pick where I last heard the foot steps want and went the opposite I hope I can find someone soon. As ran in the dark and cold with the thought of finding a place warm soon.
Once Nightmare was back in dream space panting out of breath as if he was running for hours. He quickly looked around himself to make sure that thing didn't follow Nightmare. It didn't. He moved one hand to rest his face but winced at the sudden pain coming from his arm. Nightmare lifted up his sleeve and was surprise to see a huge purple bruise on his with an obvious sign of a hand pant. But how him thought that was just in his head but now seeing it. This must have been other Sans like Nightmare but different somehow. Nightmare wonder what he meant let the games begin. And what was all that about in the dream world it didn't make any sense. But that was when notice up above him was light white like orb floating up. It was doing anything first but slowly light glow of the order grow bright almost blindly bright. Nightmare had a bad feeling about this and he was right all nightmares stars that was corrupted by Nightmare was quickly leaving and going to up and into the white ord only living yellow dreams what once was maybe two or three of dreams were now ten to thousands. All of his nightmares were being come sweet dreams right before his 'eyes'.
"How! This can't be happening!" Nightmare shouted as he tried to to take back control of this situation before it got out of hand.
He move up to the ord and tried to destroy it but it only went right though him. So he tried to use his tentacles magic but nothing. It must have been the other AU Sans doing this. Fine whatever he can just do this the old fashion way he went up to one of the dream ready his magic to corrupt once more. But when one of his tentacles came up to touch it to his the dream figured back. Nightmare grain at how cute it think's it could win. Nightmare used a bit more magic to take back control over it, it usually didn't take much to change it. But this was one it didn't go down so early. He used little more magic nothing Nightmare was new barring down on it using as much fear and terror on it as he can but this dream was stronger than he thought but he was stronger he put more magic to it. But eventually the dream started glowing bright yellow burning nightmare and his tentacles a bit. It hurt but no, real damage to him and it only lasted for a second. But this wasn't good if this one resistant was it the same with the others. It took must of Nightmare magic to try that again if they were all like that he could try to on the awaken world but needed to go back to his kingdom first. He had enough magic to teleport to the throne room as he didn't wanted to live as it was a mess. He slumped in his chair tried and frustrated he needed to think and think fast. By now dream will feel all the hope and dreams of others making his magic grow stronger and what was worse he couldn't do anything to turn them back. He could try an and find someone new to give nightmares it was a big multiverse after all. But there was the problem with that he would need time do that to even get the upper hand over his brother not telling if his brother and the Star Sans would attack and having to deal this new Sans was still out there ready to attack again. Nightmare could still feel a bit of pain on his lifted arm from when the dream Ink grabbed him. And whatever he doing is stalling all of nightmare fuel turning into dream going so fast turning fear into hope was already affects him. He needed more fear and needed it right now. That's when it came to him he just needed emotion strong enough if he could gather the other and help him to bring them he that could work. All be it rather crude but it would have to do he rush from his throne and pulled out his phone and dilated a number and waited for an answer. It ring two times until someone picked up.
"Yeah what?" Answer the caller in annoyed tone.
"Hey error I need you to gather the others and to meet me in meeting room at five." Nightmare said ignoring the other rude tone a voice.
"Wow thought we had two more days off what's the rush?" Error asked shocked by the sodden meeting.
"Something came up. I'll explain as soon as you bring the others. I have something that's gotten my full attention." Nightmare said a smile playing his face.
"Uh fine be there with the others." Error said annoyed his day off had to be end so soon.
"Good see you and the other soon." Nightmare said hugging up not even wait for a reply and phone his in pocket smirking to himself.
'Well this is getting interesting. Looks like my brother must have gotten a new member in his little party. Very clever of my brother to be friend someone to fight fire with fire. He must have been very desperate that he went looking for other Nightmare sans who was like myself to get the upper hand on me. I mean it all makes so much sense now that hellish dream realm must have been a other version of him but with different abilities like how he can turn nightmares good again.' Nightmare thought analyzing the situation.
Nightmare must omit he didn't think his brother had it in him to use other the King of Nightmare's with other king of nightmare's. A good idea but sadly it well fail now sense his already on to it once the others get here he well set up his plans. Now things are getting getting fun who ever they may be was going to great pleasure in defending not just his brother but the new comer as will.
"Oh dear brother you if think you can beat me with other me. Than your sadly mistake." Nightmare said as he walking down from his pedestal went to ready the meeting room before the others get here.
Once Nightmare life the throne room all was quiet as what little light coming from the throne room was casting a huge shadow over the medisync the thrones pedicel only livening some like four legs and arm chair. Even so slightly the shadow behind the chair shifted. It was so small you would have thought it was a shadow of moving tree branch in the wind. But soon a figure stepped out of hiding from behind throne. They're move so smooth and they're foot steps where so quite it was like they were a shadow. They fully stranded out behind the chair as if they where there the hole time stud in the dark in complete dead silence as they looked on where Nightmare Sans want though the doors. They took a step out from behind the chair each step made no, sound as if they were a ghost. As soon they were in front of the king's throne and took a set crossing they'er legs. Looking on at the doors unmoving, nonvocal as small light of purple lately illuminated the dark and quiet throne room.
[In underswap]
Dream was in underswap to Hangout with his best friend blue with cooking. Blue really love making tacos but Dream convince blue to make one of Dream favorite recipe. Than was easy without Alphys in the kitchen. Right now they were making homemade strawberry cupcakes Dream was cutting the strawberry well blue was stirring the batter with very vigorously getting some of the batter on the table.
"Hey Dream is this right?" Blue said showing Dream the batter his been stirring.
"Not quite but just a few mo-." Dream was cut off by this sodden church of power gavin to him out of the nowhere.
This sodden search of power almost made dream cut his finger. Blue notice and quickly took the knife away.
"Dream are you alright!?" Blue asked worry of his friends sudden change in mood.
"I can feel all the hope and dreams of others they are...." Dream said trailing off this was so new to Dream this magic flowing into him once again was odd to him now.
"Is it Nightmare!? Is he and the others at again should we get the others. Should I wake my brother up!?" Blue said jumping out of his chair.
But Dream stopped him before he could do so and push him gently back to his set.
"No, it's fine. Infected I can feel all the hope that was once under Nightmares control are mine now and growing." Dream said smile holding his hand to his chest to where his heart would be.
"What do you mean Dream?" Blue asked confused.
"I don't know how to explain it but I can feel like everything that Nightmare had once where cloudy with fear and despair est, est are now filled with hope again." Dream said looking at his hand in thought.
"That's great right!?" Blue said happily jumping in place in his chair.
"Yes, but something must be wrong." Dream said getting up looking up to the ceiling as if looking at something.
"What do you mean?" Blue asked confused.
"My brother would no doubt would extinguish everything that I lived my entire life making. So it's odd to me that he's not doing anything about it yet." Dream said getting a bit worried.
"You have a point. What ever Nightmare is planning can't be good." Blue said getting a sick feel in his bones .
"Yeah, we should tell Ink about this but his off somewhere with that his friend of his. And I don't I where to find him. So well have to wait for now. " Dream said letting out sign of annoyance.
Dream cared for his friend Ink but something it was frustrating for that Ink to do things with out thinking. Though Ink was a joy to be around he was a bit at times head strong and does things out of excitement. Dream would have to go visit Fresh later his practically the only one who would be able to even find Ink. But something was really making Dream bones crawl like something about this was wrong. Like someone or something was coming and it was not just the bad Sans it was something far worse.
