Chapter Text

(Blue's pov)

The day everyone's been waiting for had come.

It was the meeting day. A whole bunch of sans' across the multiverse was coming to this meeting, from copies to originals to outcodes. This was a serious matter, meetings like this have only happened once or twice, (The x-event that almost happened and hate corrupting AUs, like glitchtale) usually multiverse outbreaks.

...

This one... This one was so different. In the whole existence of the destroyer and creator, they have never gone missing before. Not a lot of AUs know about this but the destroyer and creator are immortal. Dying is a concept they themselves never have to deal with... well that is a stretch, Ink can die but he can just come back. Anyway, this is also the day Nightmare and his gang crash into the meeting, with my help of course. Error needs to be found, I know no one really cares about Error (except for us) in this crapped-up multiverse, but we need him. No one knows Error like the gang and I do. He's not a merciless killer that finds enjoyment in killing, in fact, his quite the opposite, he rather spares, but keeping the multiverse in balance won't let him. Ink keeps creating AUs, I'm sure he has a reason why. Everyone has a reason for doing something, and finally for once we can finally teach everyone that the multiverse has a balance and Error is actually doing his job, not just killing for funnzies as people like to put it.

After Killer had significantly calmed down from his panic attack and Horror was now able to talk but still weakened from his food incident, the next three days were preparing for the meeting break-in. We planned for any occasion that could possibly happen, from straight-up attacking them to Sans' making a break for it and leaving the AU. Since this is an AU that the gang and Error found, they have made a few changes, first of all, this AU is hidden from everyone except the gang, Error and me. Secondly, only we can bring people there, meaning that if we leave you, you're stuck. That's why I was there with Dream, cause he needs to get out somehow, right? Since there are so many sans' that hate the gang, it could definitely kill one of the members when they enter the meeting. So, I'll be the deviator. Many sans' think I'm always the sweet and kind person, too naive for his own good, too trusting, well, I'll show them. Trust can get you anywhere if you use it right. This can also cause more issues along the way. If this does happen, people will either think, I've been brained-washed (which is just ridiculous) or I've been helping the bad sans' and therefore being a traitor to the stars. Luckily, being the magnificent Blue, I have solutions for those situations as well. If they think I'm possibly being brained-washed, Dream is the answer for that. My emotions and morals would have changed which means that Dream can feel and sense it, giving that whole scandal a lie, oh and if they think I'm a traitor, heh, I got a plan that I didn't even tell the gang. I can't, this is what will exactly happen and I need everyone's reaction to be completely real. This is what will make everyone crack.

"So, you guys know what you're doing?"

There are only a few minutes left before I had to bring everyone to Fusetale. Dream said that it felt weird that he couldn't open a portal along with Classic and Red. I just told them that it may have been a glitch and will be glitched until Ink is saved. Portals can be glitched but most of the time it's the AU that is glitched. I wasn't technically telling them a lie, since changing the code of an AU is close enough to a glitched world. To add more evidence I told them that my other alternate buddies could make a portal there too, so it might be a glitch in some sort of system. It worked as they brushed it off and made the decision to portal everyone in the Doodles sphere and make me portal everyone there.

"Yep, allll set baby blue!"

"Ugh, Killer don't call me that."

"Ok, baby blue."

"Ookk, anyway, are the speakers working?"

"Yeah, we can hear you loud and clear." (Dust)

"Good, so the signal for you guys to hop in is any time when I talk about you, ok? Surprise me, so my reaction is more real."

"Are you sure this is gonna work?"

"Trust me nightmare. This will work."

He then smiled and put his hands up like he was surrendering.

"Heh, alright then, everything should be sent then. Good luck, we will see you on the other side."

"You bet we will. Bye, guys."

As the rest of the guys waved me goodbye, I left for the Doodles sphere. Arriving there, everyone had just arrived, said my hellos to a few skeletons, and I made my way towards Dream, Classic and Red. They had just explained everything to everyone and we were ready to go. Creating several portals we started to gather people to go in.

--

So far so good, the rescue mission for Ink was going really well, almost every AU said yes to help us locate Ink, which was amazing by all means. Only a few copies said no, so I sent them back to their AUs. The meeting was almost over, after an hour and a half of non-stop talking. But it wasn't done for us, I still had the plan I made for Nightmare. I was ready to activate it right now.

"So, I think that's everything we need to explain."

"Wait. I still have one more question. What about Nightmare and his gang and well, Error? Don't we need to deal with him?"

"Yeah, we do need to find Error, baby blue."

I flinched as I heard Killer's voice right next to my skull. Jeez, that was fast. Well, I did say surprise me, time to act.

"EEEK! Killer, what the fudge! To close to comfort."

"Awww, sorry I don't understand boundaries."

"Ha, hahaha, Killer."

Killer smiled and I know what he was going to do next, ducking as I felt the air swoosh passed my skull. Killer had thrown the knife as I predicted.

"Getting slow baby blue."

And that's when the rest of the gang teleported here. The plan is now in action.

"Nightmare's gang! Blue come back!"

As I stood there, thousands of gaster blasters came to life, and everyone was on edge, you could see the moment when people realised that they could not leave the world to escape as we planned, Killer quickly snatched me by my scarf (I think harder than he intended cause I began to cough (he would probably apologise later)) and put me at knifepoint.

"ah, ah ahhh, I wouldn't do that if I was you. How about you guys put off the magic attacks and we have a civil convo, how 'bout that."

"Nothing you guys are doing is civil! Just look at what you're doing to Blue." (Razz)

"Ehhhh, no, sorry, baby blue is capable, now you on the other hand."

"WHY US LITT-"

"Gasters down."

"Are you serious dream?! Just look at Blue!" (Red)

"H-he, he's not scared."

"Of course he's not, he's probably in shock or somethin', the reason is that he needs help."

"Now, now, red red, Blue is capable, remember."

"Yeah, yeah, shut it asshole."

"I said, Blasters down. Now!"

Immediately all gaster blasters and magical attacks disappeared. I had never heard Dream yell like that before even Nightmare's gang was shocked. Killer let me go and I stumbled forward, catching myself just in time. Ok, well I think it's time to stop pretending and discuss what's important.

"Ok, now-"

"No. How did you get here?"

"Dream-"

"No blue, because it really looks like the "friends" you were talking about that can make a portal here are them."

Oh, I really didn't expect anyone to figure it out that fast. I could see the nightmare and other people in the council tensing up.

"It's not what it l-"

"Looks like?! Because it clearly looks like it. Bring us to an AU that is unknown to basically all the skeletons here and tell us that it's a glitch. Yeah, not what it looks like. What are you brained washed?! Cause it looks like it, helping the bad sanses, are you stooping that low!"

I never thought those words would ever come out of him. Is he the crazy one?! What. How. Why. That is the stupidest thing I heard brainwash is just a tactic to manipulate people, It's not an actual thing. No magic can cause that.

"Ha, I would bet that he has been with them since the beginning and is being a fucking traitor."

A random sans started spitting out. then all of a sudden a chorus of sans' started to agree with him. Dream looked shattered, he looked between full-on believing it or sticking to his original idea. Some other outcodes and originals like Classic, Red, Reaper, Outer and Abyss were trying to calm the situation. Nightmare's gang looked like they were about to grab me and bolt, which was probably exactly what they were going to do, but before Dust could reach me one comment made me and the gang freeze up.

"Come on! He's a swap sans. He's overbearingly trusting. Do you think it's a good idea to introduce them to the multiverse? Look at this! This is what it brought us too. They're just gonna fuck everything up."

Something inside of me snapped, I don't know what it was. All of a sudden and just felt all the bend-up rage I'd been trying to hold inside come out of me all at once, to the point I saw Nightmare step back as all of his tentacles drooped down in my provisional vision. Killer was about to act before he saw my fury.

"W H A T. HA! REALLY! THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK OF ME. SOME DUMB SWAP SANS, A FUCKING OVERBEARING IDIOT THAT TRUST TOO EASILY."

Everyone stopped doing whatever they were doing as soon as I started talking. My swearing caught literally everyone off guard. I don't swear, in fact, I hate swearing, but after the two months Ink and Error has been gone, it has been getting to me. No one dared to speak, well except one happy-go guardian.

"Blue, this is serious, you can't jus-"

"CAN'T JUST WHAT! MAKE FRIENDS. I AM JUST FUCKING SICK OF IT. YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING! HA, you don't even know what your brother's like anymore... Nightmare's gang, the bad sans', the murderers, the joke. I can't believe this. Sure, yes, I've been friends with them for almost 8 years. Do you believe someone would fuckin' try and manipulate someone for fuckin' 8 years? HAHA, you know, that's a joke to me. I'm not fucking stupid, sure I trust easily, but it's because I know what I'm doing. I HATE people judging me like a stupid moron, Heck, I already get that so much at home. Their. Not. Dangerous. They are just doing their job. Keeping the fucking Balance."

"Balance, HA HAHAHA, there is no such thing as that. You're just making this up to make us think you're all-knowing. Face it. Their using you. So just stop whining." (Razz)

"Oh, don't you dare treat him like this! I'll show you-"

"Killer... it's ok."

"Really... you don't think the balance is real, let me give you an example. Dream, do you remember when you had that positivity boost and all you could feel was happiness?"

"... Yes."

"Well did you feel any other emotions than joy?"

"What are you talking about, he is the guardian of positivity, of course, he doesn't-"

"Enough Razz. No, only joy, not even a hint of hate. What was that have to do with the balance?"

"Well, that was showing negativity was dying."

"Isn't that good, no more negativity."

"No, not at all. You wanna know what happens with negativity dies out? Every AU would be wiped out of negative emotions, meaning that if someone kills someone or if a loved one dies, you would just be happy about it, no more sadness, no more morning, no more crying. Instead, you would just be laughing as you watch them dust and die. But that's not the worst part about it. Now, I'm sure no one would care about this because you guys are just fucked up but, no negative feelings mean no more Nightmare, meaning that Nightmare would die."

"W-what... N-no you're wrong, Nightmare wouldn't die. How can you be sure?"

I could see people were starting to break, well, the originals and the outcodes. That doesn't mean all of them believed me (the copies were more sceptical too), for example, Razz, who is an original.

"Fine then, let's switch it this way. Remember when you got really really really sick, the time you couldn't even lift a fork and everyone just thought you were really sick."

"Yes, the time when hate just came."

"Yes, that was a sign that negativity was getting too much. Your body was trying to hold on to the minimal amount of positivity you had left, making you weak. Dream you were so close to dying. It got me scared. So if it wasn't for Nightmare doing something like absorbing the hate from some of the AUs, you wouldn't be here today. Negativity will then rule out positivity, making everyone angry, sad, and scared."

"Hey, give yourself some credit, if you didn't tell me that was happening, I would have lost-"

"Bullshit, that is some serious crap if I ever heard one. Does everyone believe this?!"

"Actually, I do. Blue is right, I don't know why I didn't think of this. Without some sort of balance in the multiverse, the multiverse wouldn't even exist. If positivity and negativity have a balance and have guardians to protect them. That means life and death would also have one. This makes more sense now, Life needs to make a certain amount in order for me to reap the souls. If that was unbalanced then who knows what will happen? Meaning that there must be a balance between creation and destruction. That's why Error is destroying the AUs because there are too many being created."

"Bingo." (Blue)

"You're not seriously believing that are you?!"

"Razz enough, please. Blue had all the evidence and Reaper just proved it. Blue I'm very sorry I thought you were brained-washed by Nightmare and thought you were a traitor-"

"NO, he is a fuckin traitor! Look at the nonsense he's spouting about. When that gang of murderers is involved it's always terrible. This is just probably a way so that they can rule the multiverse quicker!"

"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU RAZZ!" (Blue)

"Nothing, you are the one being wrong! Ugh, I still don't understand how you got one of the roles in the star sans'. You are nothing, just go back to your AU where everyone can baby you again, and YOU KNOW WHAT, WE DON'T FUCKIN NEED YOU HERE!"

Before anyone could act, a gaster blaster was summoned right in front of me. Their jaw opened and a high beam of magic shot right at me. I heard shouting but before I could do anything. I got hit.
