Chapter 23

Ink P.O.V.

The vents were cold and dark, but I knew I was okay with Error at my side. We kept quiet, shuffling through the large vents, we both said no words, a sudden dizziness hit me 'sh- not now please...' I wordlessly prayed to my unborn child, I needed food for energy as the baby soul kept on sucking my magic to sustain its self.

Error glanced at me, "you okay?" He asked, gentle concern lacing his tone. "Y-yeah... Just the lil' one just needs more energy" I quietly responded, "oh, you sure you'll be okay enough to continue forwards, I can carry you if you'd like." Error offered, staring at me, his mitch matched eye lights emitting a soft glow.

"I'm sure I'll be fine Ruru, 'sides we should get going, Blue and Dust should be showing up soon." I reassured the former God of destruction, as I slowly got back to my feet. Error let out a breathy sigh "Alright, c'mon kiki" he gestured with his hand for me to walk beside him.

Minutes passed, or maybe hours? Who knows at this point. The gentle thumping against the vents echoed in he distance, every second it got closer... and louder. Error put his arm in front of me like a railroad crossing.

Blue and Dust who were screaming basically zoomed past us and ran Error over "REEEEE" Error screeched as he was flattened. I couldn't help but stifle an upcoming laugh. "Oh! Error we didn't see you there!" Dust yelled helping him up. "You didn't see me!? You flattened me to Narnia!" Error yelled, glaring at Dust.

"Yo, so y'all going to complain over there?" A raspy voice was heard from behind them. I instantly looked behind us to see Horror standing there whilst he held Cross like a bag of rice with one of his hands.

Error's eye lights widened "nani da fuk!?! You're still alive!?!" Error gasped in disbelief at Horror "bitch! I'mma live through this even if it kills me!" He retorted. "Is Cross even alive?" Dream asked and thus the author just remembered that Dream was there :'>

Horror glanced at him "idk-"

~~Timeskip~~

Error P.O.V

Awhile has past we all were arguing... Well mainly me and Horror, speaking of Horror he said he was gunna punch the life back into Crossy.... And he exactly did that, long story short Cross is now conscious, bruised, in pain, and mad at Horror.

We all did not even know where we were going anymore.. According to Dust, Blue and Horror they had lost track of Gaster somewhere in the vents.

I held Ink close to me as we journeyed throughout the vents, "Hey y'all!" Cross shouted. "found dis' ya think we should go through?" He asked while pointing to a vent opening. Ink and Dream glanced at each other then glanced at me. I gave a simple nod.

It didn't take long for all of us to pry open the vent. One by one we all crawled through. I sighed staring at the open room we all ended up in, "how big is this frickin' place!?" I yelled, Ink looked at me with a saddened expression, "Error... Please calm down, I'm sure we'll make it out of here.." He comforted me, his voice filled with dry hope.

I glanced at Dream who was currently reloading the gun that Sci had given us, I then looked back at Ink. "Okay... I.. I hope we do, tired of this- tired of constantly getting hurt.." I spoke softly.

Ink cupped my cheek bone with his palm "don't worry... I believe that we will..." Ink smiled before giving me a small kiss on the cheek. I allowed a small smile to appear on my face, along with a faint hue of yellow blush.

"CUTE COUPLES 2019!!! ERROR AND INK!!!" Dust shouted at the top of his lungs. Me and Ink jolted at his sudden outburst. "Shut up! You ruined their moment!" Horror scolded Dust.

I sighed in annoyance as the two skeles bro scrapped. "H-hey Ink...?" Dream shakily asked. "What is it Dream?" He curiously responded. "Um... G-Gaster's right at the door you know..." He sputtered out. "What!?!" He instantly got up, as the said gooped monster was banging at the door. My breathing quicker as everyone else in the room panicked.

All of a sudden an idea came to me, I grabbed Ink's hand, pulling him towards me. "Eep!" Ink squeal at the sudden action "I think I could teleport us out of here but it may require all of us." I announced, "no- I ain't about to do some cartoony ritual her-" Horror stated but was cut off as Cross grasped onto his hand, pulling him towards everyone.

I smiled, as everyone focused their energy on teleporting. As the door came flying off a portal just in time opened up beneath us and we all fell through.

We landed on the hard floor of my Anti-void. Ink stared at the space around us, his breathing slightly quickened "Ink.. Ink! Its okay, I know you don't like white spaces but I'm here.." I cooed gently. His breathing eased a bit as he calmed down. Stopping his tears that threatened to fall. Just as I thought we were safe and sound for now, Gaster crawled through the portal, his goopy body formed into tendrils. ready to fight.

No one P.O.V.

Horror and Cross kept on slicing the tendrils off with their sharp weapons, keeping him mostly distracted, whist Dream kept on dodging every attack coming his way, shooting the gun at Gaster, the sharp rays of light burning holes into him.

The glitched skeleton monster was standing in front of Ink protectively, as attacks came their way left and right. Error's blue strings cut and webbed through the tendrils, making them explode into the black goopy substance, splattering everywhere.

A loud scream was heard as Gaster stabbed Dust in the side, he fell to his knees, holding his wounded side. Blue was hovering over him, attempting to heal him.

Dream leapt backwards, landing beside the former destroyer and creator "i-i don't think we can win this! He's to strong! With every person he absorbs his strength and size increases!" Dream worriedly explained, aiming the gun at every tendril that threatened to harm anybody.

"No shit Sherlock!" Error gruffly responded, guarding Ink from an incoming attack. Dream ran over to Blue and Dust upon noticing they were down. The black fluid slowly began too build up again, which gave Dream some time, helping Blue heal the fallen skeleton.

Error sighed, holding the former creator close to him. Mistakes were made as no body noticed that Gaster had reformed his body, now towering over The three who where unaware, "Guys! Watch out!" Ink warned with great worry. "Holy sh-" Dust screeched but was cut off as they all where just absorbed into Gaster like they were nothing.

"No!" Ink screamed in refusal. Gaster only grew larger with the new energy he absorbed along with the gun. Error clenched his teeth, as their only effective weapon was lost. "Looks like were now gonna do an endurance fight.." Error muttered, as he, Cross and Horror all charged at Gaster at once.

~~Time skip brought to you by: the author is bad at writing fighting sequences!! :'D ~~

2.. Long... Hours have gone by. Everyone was tired... Aching, in pain, exhausted. Gaster latched onto Horror's leg, swung him upwards before slamming him into the ground with a loud thunk.

Horror's axe and skidded away, Cross was quick to grab it, throwing it directly at Gaster. It directly hit the gooped monster in the head. His forehead splitting in half.

Gaster laughed. His goop bubbling as his head slowly formed itself back. Gaster grasped Cross, yeeting him across the battle field, where he accidentally collided against Error. Bout skeletons stumbled over.

Horror was unresponsive, and Cross and Error groaned in pain, struggling to get back on their feet.

It was Ink that only remained, standing there... Face to face with Gaster, Error weekly trued to reach out to Ink, "please... Be careful Ink..." He coughed out.

Ink nodded, determined to protect those who have fallen, determined to protect the baby soul inside of him, but most importantly...

He was determined to protect Error.

Ink stared at Gaster, he sighed, looking back at Error then back at Gaster before sprinting at full speed towards Gaster... Jumping inside of the gooped monster...
