Yellow was the first to fade away from his fake soul. Then, all the others started to fade away one by one as well, leaving an empty Creator sitting in the middle of the room.
Unfortunately for Nightmare, Ink freed both Dream and Blue before his fake emotions were completely faded. Perhaps Night should have tied Ink up as well. But even though they were now free, they still couldn't leave since the door was locked. And neither of them had their weapons.
Dream started to pace back and forth in front of the door, thinking of a way out. But Blue had an idea as he sat down next to Ink, keeping the empty skeleton company. "Why don't we use our magic?" He said, looking at Dream.
The Dreamer stopped moving. "Wait..." And he looked at Blue. "We still have our magic?"
Blueberry laughed. "Of course! Why do you think you were able to help me and Error while we slept?" Hearing the Glitch's name, Ink's empty eyesockets flashed a bit of colors.
Dream looked at the ground. "You're right... I was so focused on us being trapped in here, that i forgot about that..."
Blue nodded. "But..." And looked back at Dream who was looking at the door. "We don't even know what's waiting for us outside of this door..."
"Then..." Blue started. "Let me charge in front and protect you and Ink! I have enough magic to get us to your Bow and to get us out!" He said, confident in himself.
"No!" Dream replied. "That's suicide, you can't-" But Blue interrupted him. "They can't kill me, remember? The Anti-Void gave me more abilities that can help me avoid them."
"I..." Dream sighed. "You're right... But, what if it's not enough? Nightmare gained a lot of LV since we got here..."
Blue stood up and went to Dream's side. "I know you're worried, but Error actually showed me a trick or two about my new glitch abilities! I'll be just fine." He smiled at Dream, trying to reassure him.
"E.. rror..." Blue and Dream looked at Ink at the same time. The Creator seemed to be fighting with himself somehow.
"Ink..?" Dream approached him slowly. "What's going on..?" He asked, but when he got only silence as a response, Dream sighed again. "Maybe he still had a bit of paint left?" Blue said. "Come on! We need to get out of here!" He added, and Dream nodded, taking Ink's emotionless body with him while Blue was taking down the door. Once he did, they all got out of the room ready to fight, but they were completely alone.
Still weary that Nightmare's minions could be hiding anywhere, the trio started looking around for their weapons and most importantly: Ink's vials.

Meanwhile
After breaking free of Nightmare's grasp, Error readied his attacks and defenses in case the goopy figure would attack. "You know, i really felt betrayed... I thought we were on the same page, but now i see how stupid i was." Nightmare said, really pissed off. His tentacles getting more and more agitated behind him, Nightmare took a step forward. "I mean, starting a relationship with the ennemy?" He said, taking another step forward. "I knew you were insane, but this-" he added, extending his arms, as to say 'look around' "-crosses a line!" He finished after taking another step forward.
"I'm CrOsSiNg A lInE? d'OnT mAkE mE lAuGh!" Error said, with a grin. "YoU aDmItTeD tO mE a WhIlE bAcK tHaT iF yOu CoUlD tUrN bAcK tImE aNd Be WiTh YoUr BrOtHeR aGaIn, YoU wOuLd!" Error added, strings in between his fingers. Nightmare growled, enraged. "THAT WAS BEFORE! I FEEL NOTHING FOR THAT ASSHOLE ANYMORE!" Nightmare said, launching himself forward to attack Error.
But instead of blocking, the glitch evaded every attack. Little did Nightmare know was that running around and evading his attacks was all part of Error's plan. By doing that, setting up traps was easy and unpredictable. Since Nightmare knew Error's fighting all too well, he would never expect such a play from the glitch.
And he never expected it. Not only did Error captured Nightmare easily, but he also captured all his goons as well. All of them were tied up in a giant spider web-like trap. Nightmare was at a loss, his magic was useless and he couldn't move an inch. Then, his rage faded into fear as he heard Error laugh.
"LoOkS lIkE aLl ThAt ExP yOu'Ve CoLlEcTeD wHiLe I wAs GoNe MaDe YoU wEaKeR tHaN yOu AlReAdY wErE!" Error said in a playful tone while grinning. "nOw," he added. "HoW sHaLl We EnD tHiS?"
