Michael arrived at the testing chamber that housed the World Gate, but he was alone this time. On the console was a new Dimension Key, with what looked like moons with craters in the far reaches of space. He then decided to call in a few friends. "Error Sans, Ink Sans, you guys there?"

There was silence on the dimensional communication channel for about half a minute before a voice was heard. "This is Error Sans. Good to hear from you, Michael. It's been a while, hasn't it?"

"Yeah, it has. We got a new Key, and I'm opening the portal to dimension 1." Michael pulled out the Errortale Dimension Key.

The rift opened, and a familiar black skeleton-like entity walked out. "I see this place hasn't changed a bit since the last time we were here." Error Sans stated, looking over the sleek chamber interior.

Just then, Ink Sans appeared from the portal, taking a look at the new Key. "I think this is Outertale. Error, you once said that you actually liked Outertale, didn't you?"

"Yeah, the concept of it was awe-inspiring. I just couldn't bring myself to destroy it."

"What's 'Outertale'?" Michael asked.

"Imagine Undertale... but in space." Error Sans said.

"That's... actually quite fascinating." With that, Michael used the Chrono-Extractor, pulling out the old Dimension Key, and the new one was put in its place. A new rift opened.

They ended up in a version of the Ruins that seemed to have been carved into an asteroid. Michael had donned his Pilot armor due to atmospheric concerns, such as a possible absence of oxygen.

In one corner was what looked like a recently crashed ship, although it was much smaller than Michael was familiar with. He looked inside, and it appeared to be vacant. "There's nobody here, but it looks like it crash landed not too long ago. About sixty seconds at most." The Pilot estimated.

"That must mean we just entered a new timeline." Ink Sans surmised.

"Let's see how this goes." Michael stated, moving onward.

In the next chamber was a kid in an appropriately sized astronaut suit of an unusual design... along with a shining star with a face.

"Is that some wannabe Ghost?" Michael asked, not liking what he was seeing.

"Remember what we told you about Asriel?" Ink Sans asked.

"Right. Without a soul, he was a living flower with a face, named Flowey. I'm guessing this is Outertale's version of Flowey?"

"Yeah, but this one calls himself Twinkly Twinkly." Error Sans stated.

Michael stifled a laugh. "OK, that name's even worse than 'Flowey'."

"Howdy! I'm Twinkly Twinkly!" The star spoke...!

"OK, that's disturbing." Michael stated, readying his Spitfire.

"Gosh! You're new to the asteroid belt, aren'tcha? Golly, you must be so confused. Someone oughta tech you how things work around here! I guess little ol' me will have to do. Ready? Here we go!" A red heart shape appeared in front of the child, confusing Michael greatly. "See that heart? That is your soul, the very culmination of your being! Your soul starts off weak, but can grow strong if you gain a lot of LV. What's 'LV' stand for? Why, love, of course!"

Turning away from the scene, Michael discussed with the others. "Is that seriously what it is here?" He asked with uncertainty.

"No. No, it's not." Error Sans stated.

Titanfall 2 - Vicarious

"Uh oh. Looks like the Frisk of this AU is about to be attacked!" Ink Sans warned.

Michael vanished from behind cover, reappearing right in front of Outer Frisk via the Warlock Blink. A Ward of Dawn surrounded the two, against which a barrage of white projectiles disintegrated, leaving a single instance of one word for each projectile. IMMUNE. "I don't think so!"

"Oh dear lord...!" Outertale Flowey was completely caught off-guard.

A rock spike broke up through the ground below the evil star, but just narrowly missed. Seeing that Michael had power over the terrain itself, Outertale Flowey retreated.

"OK. OK. I think it's gone." Michael said, collapsing his protective sphere. He turned to the kid in concern. "You alright?"

"Yeah, thanks for the help there. Where did you come from?" Outer Frisk asked.

"I guess you could say I'm not from around here." He replied, pulling out the Dimension Key. With that, Michael walked away, reopening the rift to his world. Error Sans and Ink Sans said their good-byes, as they had their methods of traveling back to their own worlds.

"{That was a short but interesting adventure.}"

"I couldn't agree more, Rocco." Michael stated, storing the Dimension Key with the others. "Now... What about those info files Error Sans and Ink Sans gave us? Why don't we look and see what we're dealing with?"

"{You got it. The information should be on your PDA.}"

Michael got out his PDA and pulled up the information. "Let's see... Underfell... Hm. Under... swap? Interesting. Dusttale... Ah, here we go. Outertale. A 'space setting instead of underground', huh? That's actually pretty cool. Hmm... Let's see what else there is."

While he looks through those, I'm gonna be working out a plan to incorporate the Leviathan Raid into this story. I'm thinking the Fireteam will be... Michael, Samus, Dane, Mark-18, Hayden-10, and Tanner-21.

See you next time. It may be a new Key, or it may be Emperor Calus.
