Hey Everyone! WE'VE HIT THE 10 FAV MARK! (insert confetti) Wow, I didn't expect the story to be popular, and just be a story in a sea of stories. I almost quit once, but you guys kept me going! So, today will be a long chapter, and with the special on the way, it'll be a blast. (By the way, I've seen the recommendations, so don't think I won't add more characters.) Anyway, Enjoy!
Chapter 14
Error was having that dream again. He was watching as someone took a child, it was screaming, and Error was trying to save it. Somehow he felt a connection to the kid. But when he tried to access the dream again, he couldn't find it. It kept slipping from his fingers, as if someone erased his memory. He shook it off, then walked up to the machine, activating it. He opened a portal into another universe, AfterTale. No one would miss it. Geno's world was empty of all life, anyway. He opened fire, finding the code and obliterating it, the problem was stray code hit Error in the process. Every time it did, he could see a little more of the dream, as if his memory was recovering, but then he forgot it. He thought he glimpsed a black skeleton in the rags, and Ink was trying to retrieve it. He didn't know, but he felt a strong connection to the skeleton. Weird, considering Ink was there. This was probably his first abomination, a mistake, so why did he feel bad about it? Horror walked up, surveying the destruction. He smiled, his sharp teeth glinting. As the final strands of code were obliterated, the machine sucked up all the extra data. Horror turned to Error. "Boss, do I need to go train some more troops?" Error glanced in his direction. "No, not really. Murder and Nightmare have it taken. You go spar against someone I guess." He said, waving him off. He tried to access the dream again, but he got nothing. He sighed, then went back to perfecting his machine, the baby skeleton far from his thoughts.
POV Shift
Reboot sat on the Balcony, painting a beautiful sunset, when Geno walked in. Reboot turned to look at him. "You alright?"
"Yeah, fine, I just felt as if something went missing inside me." He said. Reboot turned to him. "Can I check your SOUL? You might have problems." Geno nodded, then summoned his SOUL. Reboot gasped. A little piece of a SOUL hung, only an eighth of one. Other than the fact that it was really weak and small, there was nothing wrong with it, yet it seemed as if even a punch could break it. He grasped it in his strings carefully, not wanting to break it. Geno winced, but stayed calm. Reboot looked up at him, "Has it always been like this?" Geno nodded, his face revealing his pain. "Ever since." Reboot handed it back to him, and Geno walked off, probably to talk to Element or Blue. Reboot sat there, finishing his painting in silence.

Ink ld in his bed, thinking. He wished he could paint again, but he was so tired. He got up, struggling. He grabbed his paintbrush and walked out. He found a canvas and began to paint. He painted a world where there was a true happy ending to UnderTale, Gaster was free, Chara at peace, and Asriel got a SOUL. He finished the story and brought it to life. Power surged through Ink as imagination filled him, his power gaining. He dropped his crutches, and continued painting. He made a painting of when Sans instead of giving up on his science career due to the knowledge of RESETS, he continued it. He brought it to life as well, filling him with more power. Ink knew with each AU he made, he gained in strength. He stopped, then, without needing help, walked to the Foyer and sat on his favorite chair. He started drawing a beach, then brought it to life in the backyard. He loved drawing, it gave him power and filled him with joy.
POV Shift
Blue was exploring more of the castle, and found the beach and pointed it out to Fell, who just happened to find mustard in the fridge. "FELL! LOOK! THE MAGNIFICENT SANS-"
Fell shoved him. "First of all, don't call yourself the 'magnificent' Sans! Second of all, I don't care!" Blue looked up at him, and he smiled. "THERE'S A BEACH FELL! I'M EXCITED! TIME TO SWIM!" He ran into a closet, and came out wearing a hat, footballs on his shoulders, and a shirt saying 'Cool Dude' and basketball shorts. He jumped into the waves, smiling as he swimmed. Fell growled and turned away, ignoring Blue. "FELL COME ON! THE WATER'S NICE!" He said. Fell turned around, then, grudgingly, decided that it did look nice. He took off his jacket and jumped in.
Time Skip
Mafia sat with Ink on the couch, Mafia was watching Ink draw when Dream came in. "Hey guys! What's up?" Ink turned around. "Heya Dream! Just doing something real quick." Ink finished the picture, then showed it to Dream. It was a picture of the whole team of the Star Sanses, which he hung in his wall. He smiled, looking at the picture. Everyone was there, Ink, Fell, Sans, Blue, Dream, Reaper, Outer, Element, Reboot, Geno, and Anti-Virus. Dream sat down beside it. "It's great, Ink." Ink looked at it for a second, then went into the kitchen, probably for some paint. Dream followed him and found him on the floor, drawing in his notebook while looking for paint. Ink was drawing something, something that looked like a black skeleton. "What's that?" Ink looked up. "Something from my dreams, I can't remember it." Dream looked again, and thought the skeleton looked familiar.
So, thanks for all the appreciation for the story. I'm happy to announce the 10th fav. Peace Out!
