(THIS IS A MINI STORY)

Chapter 1: The start of an Adventure

Chapter Text

Chara wanted to scream at the sudden turn of events. Their whole world had been destroyed during their fight with gaster ending with a loss for both them and gaster. Gaster is stuck in the void without most of his soul but in return gaster erased their world with only them and cross surviving because they fuse their souls to live on. They had determination and cross had a body making it possible for them to survive in this white void that once was their universe. You know what the worst part was? After months in this desolate place Cross had begun to lose his mind and fall into insanity because of the loss of all his friends and his families. As a way of preserving his mind they gave him control of his body and went to sleep because he was tired of everything and wouldn't wake up no matter what they did. It had been three weeks since they had been given control over Sans's body and it was weird being so tall and being for just bones. They found they could go into their original form for as long as they didn't use too much of their magic and weren't too tired or took too much damage after they did multiple tests. However they found it easier to stay in sans's form because he's the one who had an actual body unlike him who manipulated the codes to create himself a fake body. However some there were some perks of having a skeleton body. One they didn't eat only if they were low on magic which wasn't an issue because as long as they were determined.. They couldn't feel the cold or heat, and the body was much lighter making it easier to move and fight. They also found they code read codes now which was interesting the first they saw them as they were trying to see if using overwrite to see if they could recreate their universe (even if deep down they knew it wasn't possible to create a person only change them as Gaster had done). They could read their own coding and change it to give them a healing factor and the need to not eat or drink to survive, which may have taken them longer than necessary. Chara tightened the cape like scarf and raised it to their mouth enjoying the soft before beginning to scratch the floor of their au with a giant knife. One thing they had learned early on was that any damage they did to their blank world would eventually fix itself but it was kinda fun to see how much of their au they could destroy before it fixed itself...almost like a competition and trying to reach a new record. They drew a red line into the floor before making a heart with an x going through it. They sighed in boredom before tightening their grip on their knife and turning to face some kind of weird black poodle that had appeared a few feet behind them. Suddenly a skeleton, that looked very similar to their current body, jumpered out of the puddle carrying a giant paint brush and seemed to be fixing their brown scarf. They looked around before their eyelights, that were oddly shaped since one was a gold star and the other a blue circle, landed on them.

"Oh my stars! I didn't expect anyone to be in this empty au!" The skeleton exclaimed as his eyes changed into a question and exclamation mark.

"His eyes change on this emotion? That's useful to know- wait a second!?"Chara thought shocked as they just realised there was someone in their world...someone who wasn't supposed to be alive. They glared at the skeleton and raised their knife. The skeleton put their paint brush on their back and raised their hands up in surrender.

"Woah! I'm not here to cause any harm." Chara just glared at him with an blank expression. "umm..My name is Ink sans but many just call me Ink and I am a protector of aus" That surprised them and made them blink a few times in confusion.

"WHAT?!?"
