Chapter 7: The painful truth.

"Get out of my way, Sans. I'm getting to the bottom of it. As a leader of team RWBYS, I demand to know what happened." Ruby said with a serious tone.

"the truth is just gonna hurt you kid. believe me. it's not worth it." Sans told her.

"Why? Because you are trying to hide the fact that you are a murderer, Sans? I'm trying to prove your innocence here and you aren't letting me." Ruby replied as Sans's eyeballs turned pitch black.

"Ruby*sigh* please don't make me do this. i don't wanna shatter your view of Frisk." Sans said in a saddened tone.

"WHAT IS IT THAT YOU ARE SO AFRAID OF!? If you did nothing wrong then you have NOTHING to WORRY about!" Ruby yelled.

"Let me handle this." Chara finally decided to step in.

"Sans, I know that you mean well, but you can't hide your problems any longer. She just wanted to know about Frisk. If the truth remains behind cover, she and the rest of people on this planet will never change their view of the monsters. Running away isn't how you solve this problem." She continued.

"she's gonna be in pain, princess. some secrets should remain undiscovered for her own sake." Sans frowned.

"And this is not one of them." Ruby's face darkened.

"fine." Sans sighed "there's one in my room. you can use it and cry there if you want."

"I'm not - "

"c'mon, i know a short-cut." Sans said as he stuck his hand out.

Ruby reluctantly grabbed it and both were teleported to Sans's room. Ruby looked over her shoulder to see a glowing star shaped save point.

"you won't be able to unsee this. this is the point of no return, bud." Sans warned.

This made the little Rose hesitate for a bit, but touched it nevertheless. Once her hand touched the save point, Frisk's memory flooded her head. To others, it seemed like a few short seconds. But to Ruby, it felt like days, maybe weeks.

The little red riding hood saw Frisk's every single actions, every timeline, from the pacifist routes that she was familiar with to unrecognizable genocide ones that she didn't know Frisk was capable of. She felt Frisk's every emotions, from joy from pacifism to self-disgust and emptiness after each genocide routes. She committed so many genocides and changed so much to the point Ruby didn't even see her as a close friend anymore. Her vision of Frisk was replaced by a power lusting monster.

If it was for Chara's intervention, Frisk would have wreaked havoc on this world. HRuby also noticed Sans's faith in Frisk in everytime he let her kill him. That faith slowly wore down and turned into disbelief. When Sans finally gave his all to the fight, Frisk's self-disgust had reached it's peak and she broke into tears. At this point, Ruby had already known what happened so she just stopped watching the events happening in front of her eyes.

"Now you know the truth." Chara said with a saddened tone.

"Do you know what it feels like,... To gain faith in someone,... Just to be betrayed in the last second? That's what I felt. To be betrayed by someone I trusted more than I did myself. Tell me, Ruby Rose. Do you believe that, even the worst person can change? That everyone can be a good person if they just,... Try?" Chara continued.

At this point, Ruby didn't know what to believe in anymore. She fell to knees and released a stream of tears. The little Rose cried so loud that people from other rooms might be able to hear it.

Sans just took the blanket from his bed and wrapped it around Ruby and gently patted her on the back to comfort her as she continued to cry. The rest of team RWBYS and JNPR were outside, listening to everything. Yang was about to kick the door down but Sans teleported in front of her before she could do so.

"it's really rude to break someone's door you know. you could've just knocked and i would've let you all in." Sans said in an uninterested tone.

Team JNPR smiled sheepishly while team (R)WBY(S) glared at him. Yang's pupils turned red in anger. She grabbed Sans by the neck of his shirt and stared him through his skull half-face mask.

"What the FUCK did you do to my SISTER!?" She screamed at the blue hoodie boy.

"how about you ask her yourself before you make any assumptions? Can we just talk to her like regular human beings?" Sans asked without any sign of humor in his tone.

It was rare to see Sans without his puns and if something so serious that it made the funny guy lose his sense of humor in his tone, it can't be good. Yang let go of the boy and backed off for him to open the door to let everyone in.

Yang was the first to run to Ruby and embraced her little sister in her arms. Blake followed and patted her team leader in the back with her left hand while Weiss just put her left hand onto Ruby's left shoulder. Jaune was the first to question the former skeleton.

"Okay, what the heck happened?"

"we are not in my house so it's really not my place to say." Sans half joked.

"Sans, please. This is serious." Pyrrha stated.

"Ruby, if it makes you happy, we will break the legs of whoever made you cry!" Nora said with great enthusiasm while Ren remained quiet this time.

"Sans, I want the truth and nothing BUT the truth." Yang rage was filled once again.

At this point, Ruby had cried herself to sleep. Everyone's eyes were locked at the sleeping girl. Sans was the only person to speak up.

"like i said, i'm not in the position to say anything. those are Ruby's secrets. if she doesn't want to say it, then neither will i."

Silence filled the room again. Nobody said anything and went back to their room. Yang was the one who carried Ruby to the room and put her sister onto her bed. She wanted to protect her little sister from whatever that was bothering her.

Somewhere in the Doodle Sphere

Ink was sitting on the sandy piece of land and doodling when he noticed something an AU that wasn't there before.

"looks like the two brothers made a new world that,... oh, cool! this AU has it's own protector named Ozma! i gotta see this! okay, disguise, disguise. wait, where is the doodle of human me? eh, whatever, i'll just settle with this girl then. beggars can't be choosers i guess. good thing i have a non-binary accent. it would be weird to have a deep voice for a girl." Ink said as he used his own ink to make a new body.

Ink wore his(her now i guess) regular costume with her white neck length ponytail and eyes with pupils that changed colors every time she blinked. She then used the paint brush to create a portal to the anti-void.

There lay Error with his voodoo doll scattering the ground. In his left hand, was a half eaten chocolate bar and his favourite show "Undernovela" was on.

"hey, Error! a new AU just got made, wanna come and see it?" Ink asked enthusiastically.

"no. wait, WHO DAFUQ ARE YOU!?" Error stumbled back a bit.

"it's me! Ink! i'm going to go to a new AU with it's own protector. don't worry, i won't do anything to help the creator. wanna tag along?" She asked.

"why are you in a girl's body?" Error asked with a raised eyebrow.

"a disguise, of course! i have the original picture of you so i can make you a disguise. it's a dude, by the way." Ink told him. He shrugged.

"eh, why not? gotta come to make sure you don't break our truce."

Ink let out a giggle and start using her large paint brush, Broomie to make Error's body. With a flick of the brush, Error now looked like a guy with short, black,messy hair and a tan skin tone. The stitches remained under his eyes like tears.

"Alright, let's go."

I have my own reasons to put Ink and Error into this fic. The reason I made Ink a girl in this fic was because my Ink design was heavily inspired by Shig Shig. Just look up the creator's human Ink and Error design and you'll find it.
