Ink sighed as he stared out at the vast expanse of the Doodle Sphere. An endless void containing portals to all the AUs. An endless void, which in truth, he was simply 'borrowing' from the creators.
XGaster appeared behind him. "Ink? You wanted to talk with me? Everything is going according to plan, yes?"
Ink spun around, his voice incredulous, "No! Everything is not going according to plan! You promised me that no one would get hurt, and yet, Underswap is gone!"
"...I'm fairly sure that I said that some sacrifices would be necessary."
"N-No you—no, you didn't! Underswap is one of the most important universes, and thanks to some part of your plan that you 'conveniently' forgot to tell me, the main timeline has been destroyed!"
"You agreed that you'd do whatever was necessary to make sure that you weren't forgotten, Ink."
"No, I agreed to a harmless story to reignite the creators' interest in our multiverse! I agreed to the promise that none of my friends would get hurt!"
"And I ensured that Blue is still alive."
"That's... sure, he wasn't hurt physically, but certainly emotionally!"
"...I promised nothing in regards to their mental health."
Ink scowled, taking the vial containing the half of XGaster's soul out of his bandolier and shoving it into said Gaster's hands.
"I. Am. Done. Go find some other being to do your dirty work."
"And if you're forgotten?"
"...if...if I'm forgotten, th-then so be it. So long as my friends are safe."
"And who's to say I'll listen to that, Ink?"
"...wh-what?!"
"Ink, you're my friend, too, and I'd be so terribly disappointed if you were to betray me like this. I'd be so upset... that I might just hunt down each and every one of your other 'friends' and kill them myself.."
Ink took a step back, shaking, "Y-you... you wouldn't..."
"Wouldn't I? Would you really like to take that chance?"
He sighed in resignation, "no... of course not. I'll continue to follow the plan, XGaster..."
XGaster smirked, handing the vial back to Ink.
"Good."
