Chapter 6: Sigma Omicron Sigma

Delta was meditating. He was relaxing in a space between universes. After the fight with the two Sans's from the last world he was in, he needed to rest and regain his strength. He looked back on the fight between himself and the Sans with the Knife. They had managed to take control of the other Sans with the Axe. Who ever they were he needed to know more. He was sure it wasn't the last time he would see the monochrome ninja.

"How are you feeling?" Bravery asked.

"I'm alright." Delta said to the spirit of the human's soul he absorbed. "I can't believe how much power you have."

"We have," He corrected. "Remember how I'm dead. If I were this powerful on my own I would have had no problems at all."

"Wait so where is this power coming from."

"Well it's your magic, but it is my emotional energy that allows you to use it so effectively."

"Either way, I think we make a really good team. Even if neither of us asked for this."

"So what if we didn't ask for it, or even want it. We are stuck with each other," He teased. "And we better make the most of it. Not many people get the chance to explore the multiverse and help people wherever they go. There are probably so few people like us that we may never meet any others."

"That's probably a good thing. It wasn't exactly a series of fun events that led to our creation."

Delta continued to sit in silence for a long time until he was fully recovered. He tried to meditate and speak with Bravery as often as he could. He knew that they hadn't asked to be killed and stuffed inside some lazy bones but, that was the position they were in and so the two of them were trying to make the most of it. Bravery had been dead for so long that he had forgotten his name, his face and everything else about himself. The only thing he had left to remind him of what he used to be was his intense courage. It was the only trait that was strong enough to exist in his soul after his physical body had decayed. Delta had chosen the name Bravery. He wasn't sure about it at first but it seemed to have stuck. Delta was the name that Bravery offered him in return. Sans wasn't really appropriate now anyway. That wasn't really who they were anymore. They both decided that they would try and move forward. Not forgetting the past, but not dwelling to long on the things they were leaving behind.

"Do you think you are ready to try again?" Bravery asked.

"Sure… Why not? It's not like the last time was a disaster."

"Just try to focus on the name. Think about it clearly in your mind and then try to open a gate."

"Alright, alright!" Delta focused hard on the name of the universe he wanted to travel to. "Underswap! Underswap! Underswap! There is no place like home. There is no place like home."

"Delta!" Bravery sighed.

"Heh. Sorry, I couldn't help it."

He focused himself again and tried to think of the bridge outside the ruins in the Underswap universe. He was about to try opening a gate when he felt something. Somewhere, there was a group of people who were very out of place. It felt like Aftertale but not quite. Maybe one of the small parallel planes of existence that connects to Aftertale. Delta tried to home in on the feeling. By this point, Bravery had noticed his distraction.

"What is it Delta?"

"I sensed something… a group of people that don't belong where they are… I think they might need our help."

"Well what are we waiting for, an invitation?"

Delta tried to focus on exactly where he wanted to go. He found that it was surprisingly easy to picture it now that he had a reason to be going. Maybe he was getting the hang of it.

Ink and Dream had gathered the rest of the group together after they had planed their next move. Their plan was to visit the worlds that they knew Delta had been to and try to follow the same jumps he would have made in order to track him down. It was the best they could hope for seeing as he moved too much for Ink to know where he was all the time and Dream could not track him due to the negative emotions he felt for leaving his own world behind. They explained to the group that he might be hard to work with, as he can be very arrogant and overconfident in his own ability. However, it was necessary to get him on board with the mission if they wanted to win.

Everyone was getting ready to move on to the next world. Geno was saying a farewell to Frisk, Sci and Classic were theorising about some of the possibilities that come with alternate universes, Ink and Dream were picking the first place they should look in order to find Delta. None of them expected what happened next.

Suddenly, ten feet above the ground, an orange flash lit up the area. The flash cleared to reveal what Ink realised was Delta. But, he was upside-down. He then fell to the ground and landed head first in a heap.

"Ow!" He said

"Delta?" Ink asked.

Delta suddenly jumped to his feet and began shouting in an overly dramatic voice. "Do not fear citizen! It is I, Delta! I am here to help!"

"ill beta that hurt." Classic joked. "you dont look so phi'n. iota stop making puns but psi over there loves them." Sci was on the floor in fits of laughter. Ink and Dream were trying really hard not to laugh, but were failing. Even Geno cracked a genuine smile.

Delta looked over at Classic. "You have got tau stop making puns right nu." He challenged.

"gamma'n! is that the best you can mu"

"Rho my god! If you would chi'ndly stop, theta's are not very good puns."

"rho my god? you mean omega'd. seems i cant put a kappa on it. i guess ill…" Classic didn't get to finish as a cream pie, that Ink had painted to stop the madness, was hurled at his face.

"heheheh, well you certainly got a pi in your face." Sci said through the tears of laughter.

Everybody was quiet, before exploding into a fresh blast of laughter. Once everyone had calmed down Dream tried to remind everyone how serious the situation was. He explained to Delta that they needed his help and he immediately accepted the offer to join the team. Everyone was caught up on names, universes and timelines and finally they were ready to go.

"Wait!" Ink yelled out to get everyone's attention. "Something isn't right here."

"Oh no!" Dream whispered out, catching on to what Ink had sensed. "Here we go…"

Ink and Dream both turned to face the same direction and took up battle stances. Classic was first to catch on and activated his flashing eye. Sci raised his arm and summoned a Gaster Blaster, as did Geno. Delta stood in a low battle stance and powered up his Gaster Pack.

"It looks like they have stopped waiting for us!" Dream said as he saw the black pixels appear and tear a hole in the space in front of the six of them. "Ready?"

"Ready or not, here we come!" Delta said with a small smirk. "Bring it on!"

"why do i feel like we are going to have a bad time?" Classic asked hopelessly.

"from what you guys have said, we should have the advantage statistically speaking." Sci said trying to sound confident.

"well look at it this way. i cant exactly be put through anything worse than i have already been through." Geno reasoned sarcastically.

"That's what you think!" Ink said under his breath.

"wait what?"

"Nothing!" Ink yelled.

The six of them looked at the glitch gate that hovered ominously before them. No turning back now, it was now or never. Together they each stepped through to the X-Tale universe once more. As the portal closed behind them, they knew…

They were so screwed.

PUNS! OH GOD THE TERRIBLE PUNS! it had to happen and I apologise. I doubt half of them even make sense but it needed to happen.

Ok so as you can probably guess the next chapter is going to be the fight with a 6v6! I don't know how I'm going to write a fight scene cuz I haven't seen that done very often but I will try to make it not repetitive. I don't really know what I want to happen yet but I know that the good guys are going to lose this first round. After that I plan to get them separated into different AUs somehow but I'm not sure how I'm going to do it. The next chapter may take some time to post as it will be a long one and it will be challenging to write so wish me luck. we will just have to xi how it plays out XD (I'm so sorry, that one didn't even work)
