Fixing a Problem

(Aurora's pov)

After Alphys' initial reaction to my appearance, I started to feel something that I shouldn't have. It was if I was absorbing a soul, which was confusing me at first. Wait... she better not have "Frisk I will be right back, I need to do something"

"does that mean..?" Frisk sounded a bit sad at that

"Yeah I need to leave for a little bit, see you soon!" I ripped open a portal into the Void, ignoring Alphys' stuttering attempts to question my actions. I quickly located Segoe, she was with Ink. "SEGOE, WHAT DID YOU DO!?" The anger in my voice was unmistakable and the void was reacting to it, it started to swirl around me like a dark wind.

"I asked the same thing ten minutes ago," Ink frowned, "She's in no condition to explain."

"She did something with my magic, MY ESSENCE. For some reason I am consuming a soul and I believe it has something to do with her. Ink, please stand aside." I was attempting to gain control of my emotions but it was a constant struggle.

"I wouldn't advise that," Ink narrowed his eyes, shielding Segoe from my eyes, "I know what I'm doing." His face was more calm than his emotions were.

The entire void starts to grow even darker somehow as my hands start to glow purple in between the black scales that had started to grow on my skin. "Thig dhomh, mo draoidheachd" as I spoke one of my eyes absorbed the darkness while my other burned a Purple fire. Segoe's Soul came out showing my magic coating her soul.

Somewhere behind Ink Segoe gasped in pain. The magic didn't want to let go of her just yet.

My eyes narrowed in anger as I moved Ink aside with my magic, I walked over to Segoe standing in front of her. In my child form she was just as tall as me right now, "This might hurt, and I don't know if you will forgive me but..." my voice was oddly gentle, it sounded a lot like how I would sound if I was an adult, Kind and motherly. I reached out and touched Segoe's Soul, as I did we both glowed with our intertwined magics. A combination of Purple from me and a mix of turquoise and grey from Segoe. "Now Ink I will draw away the pain while you help her, and if you harm her, YOU WILL FACE THE SAME." When I spoke this time it sounded like the Void itself spoke.

Segoe stopped struggling, vomiting a purple-black substance. Ink panicked, his eye-lights transitioning through shapes and color. Then he regained posture, sighing, "Do what you must...Don't hurt my spectrum." His face turned serious.

On the ground under the two of us the image of a clock appeared and it's ticking started to slow to a stop. when it did so the magic attacking Segoe's soul stopped as well. I took one more breath before everything that used my magic was frozen, only Segoe wasn't effected. I turned to look at Ink "I leave it in your hands" I turned to Segoe, before I to was frozen in time.

(Third person)

Ink was very confused, that magic was unknown to him. Trying to decide where to start, he decided it was some form of Quatrium. He slowly began to peel the magic from Segoe's soul. When the Magic he started to peel of hit the void it began to swirl and attempted to return to the soul. "No!" Ink frowned, using his magic to hold it in place. The magic slowly gave way to him, suddenly it lashed out at him, forming a spear it flew directly at where his soul should be, but before it hit him it was frozen in time.

Ink fell backwards, eyes flashing every color at once, breathing heavily. He gripped his chest in panic. Then, the color drained from it, leaving it chalky grey. "What the-" he touched it, and it turned his hand grey! He inspected it, frowning, "It's like...Segoe's magic...and the dragon's..?"

The void seemed to whisper around him as the spear was pulled into to separate parts, one purple one gray. They stayed there a second before another clock appeared on them, this one moving in reverse, In a mater of seconds the spears were erased.

"Oh.." his eyes scanned the void, searching for any trace of the fused magic. His attention was brought back to his patient when Segoe, once again, coughed up magic. This time however, it was some of her own, too. "Let's get you patched up," he sighed with a sad smile. "This reminds me of when we first met, y'know?"

No response. Segoe was unconscious. The magic Segoe had coughed up that was Aurora's begin to erase itself. When it was done there was no trace of any magic that wasn't Segoe's. "Thanks Ink" the Void whispered around them "If you need help with Error, I will be there."

Ink closed his eye sockets, taking in the information obtained by this experience. Segoe tried to push herself up, but her arms gave out. She hacked up any excess magic, and was confused to find she was slick with inky magic.

"Wha-"

"Shh!" Ink ordered, lifting Segoe from her puddle, "Don't speak, your throat must be raw from all of that." She squeaked in response. Despite her being taller, the skeleton had no problem lifting her up.

"Let's get you home," he sighed, stepping into their updated AU, "Snowy, Chara, and Paps must be worried sick. Plus, you're gonna need a bath." She nodded, exhausted. Falling unconscious. "Heh. You've got a lot of explaining to do when you recover."

Aurora was left standing there as the two left, suddenly the clock starts to tick again at it's normal pace. Her appearance became normal once more. "I hate doing that... At least I didn't lose my temper." she looked around "It seems like they went home already." she closed her eyes as in her hands forms a ball of her magic she threw it into a portal, It landed on Segoe's nightstand with a note attached. 'Please don't absorb my magic again, there is a reason I don't have a soul. I think you just found out why. Touch this orb to a object of your choosing and it will work as a communications devise.

(Aurora's POV)

Well that was done with, I shivered at the thought of having a soul inside of me, I am made up of the void so if I get a soul it will be consumed. Before I go back to Undertale I pulled out a two small glass bottles, inside of them where pieces of souls, one was parts of a monster soul while the other a human's. "I have not forgotten my promise to you Chara, or to you Asriel, I will bring you back even though it will cost me dearly"

Suddenly a wave of dizziness overcomes me and I fall to the ground. "I nearly lost control of my anger, I burned up to much energy didn't I dad?" The Void pulsed, bits of conversations sounded out.

"Go EaSy on yOUrSeLf, My DauGHter." At that response I sit on the ground.

"I know, has Gaster found out yet?"

"No, he HaSn'T, alSO I NoTIced thAT you CallED Toriel Mom. IT is gOOd THat you HaVe soME one LIke her in your LiFe." The distorted voice of the Void, my father, sounded proud and a bit relieved.

"Don't worry I can't replace you, after all you raised me." My voice was filled with warmth. "But I am glad to have found a Mother, though I don't think I could talk to her about you, I don't think many could hear you."

"THat is SADly truE" I felt the Void encircle me, like a hug. "REst foR a WhiLe I WiLL seND YoU BacK, ABout TeN minUTes AFter you leFT."

"Alright Dad, I could use the rest" This time, as I was going to sleep I felt my magic mixing with the Void, with dad, it was his way of making sure I was alright. My last thoughts before I drift into sleep was 'I hope Segoe is doing alright'.


(Segoe's POV)

Oh god, my head...

I sat up. Why was I on the couch? Why was it two in the morning? These questions wouldn't be answered.
My experiment must've been a fail...Oh yeah. The magic rebelled trying to take the patient soul into the void, but Ink helped me.
Speaking of the artistic skeleton, he was sleeping at my feet, Snowy and Chara were with him. All were snoring softly. Papyrus was actually on the floor, 'nyeh'ing in his sleep. It was truly adorable.
I noticed a small note on the coffee table, 'Please do not absorb my soul...'


(Aurora's Pov)

After I woke up I said bye to dad as I jumped through a portal back to Undertale, I appeared just as Frisk went over the last steam jump, He was surprised as I caught him before he hit the ground. "Sis!" he cried out and hugged me.

"So I see you missed me, did Alphys forget already?"

"Mostly, she remembers the Outline showing up, and that it was real, but not what it is" he was holding in his laughter as I put him down.

"So ready to face Mettaton again?" I asked as I cloaked myself in my magic once more.

"Lets go!" We walked into the next room, of course it would be dark in here. Frisk got a phone call from our favorite scientist friend.

"H-hey, it is kinda dark in there, isn't it?"

"Yeah"

"Don't worry! I'll hack into the light system and brighten it up!" With a click the lights came on, and we where in a kitchen. "Oh no." music started to play...

"OHHHH YES!" Mettaton came up out of the ground like the diva he is. "WELCOME, BEAUTIES, TO THE UNDERGROUND'S PREMIER COOKING SHOW!" I just sat on the floor laughing to my self, this guy was just to much for me to handle, I usually don't interact with Metta to much so as Frisk did the normal thing, after Alphys had called and distracted him, I kinda stole the Chainsaw, of course only Frisk caught that everyone else was to busy watching the show, and Metta was focused on the crowed. As Frisk walked over to the Soul-substitute he whispered to me.

"What are you going to do with that?"

"Oh, I am going to use it to scare somebody..." I had an innocent smile on my face. Before Frisk could ask anymore questions he had to fly up and get the S.S. because Metta wasn't playing fare. Hey at least Frisk got to use a jetpack. After Frisk got it and the show ended we went forward, Firsk saved at the new spot. In the distance we could see the Core.

"So where did you go this time?" Frisk asked with barely contained curiosity.

"Segoe tried to absorb my magic, and it didn't go to well for her." The anger returned in my voice at that point.

"Is she alright, and why are you angry?" his voice was a mix of concern and fear.

"She will be fine, I am angry because she messed with a type of magic she didn't understand and she got hurt because of it." I calmed myself down. As we were talking we walked over to the elevator and went up to the second floor. After meeting Heats Flamesman we went to the next room. In it Sans was selling hotdogs by the looks of things. There was a volcinod with a hotdog and a bird-like monster with one as well. Sans hasn't seen me yet, but Frisk walked up to him and got Sans to start stacking Hotdogs/cats on his head, after twenty nine of them he said that was to much, that was when I walked over and, using my magic, put hotdog number thirty on Frisk's head. "I have to disagree with you Sans thirty seems fine to me."

Sans was surprised at first then he started to laugh. "Wow, you couldn't help yourself could you?"

"Nope!" after a bit of back and forth we left. We picked up The stained apron, when he put it on he handed my the old tutu.

"Here, it will match with your shoes!" He sounded so excited. I smiled as I put it on, I then used my magic to change my dress into a leotard and stockings, both were still black, and the tutu went from pink to purple, becoming what I once had worn in DanceTale. Frisk was stunned by my change "You look so beautiful! That reminds me, why are you so comfortable wearing those?"

I laughed, my voice full of joy and regret. "I once filled your shoes in an AU in which every fight was a dance, and that Frisk danced Ballet, therefor so did I." we continued on, as I went through the steam jumps hand in hand with Frisk, I started to dance with him, it was fun to twirl through the air.

We got to the next save point laughing like the children we looked like.
