Till Dust Do Us Part - Dussic (Part One)

⚔ ~ 3 ~ ⚔

Dust had arrived back at the castle later than hoped. He wandered in as silent as possible only to feel something bind him. Struggling against it, he yelped as he was pulled from the ground and dangled from the ceiling. The blue strings was a dead give away as to the assailant. Scowling, he turned his gaze to meet Error swinging gracefully beside him. 

"Mind putting me down?" Error tilted his head briefly before sighing, his focus shifting to another figure entering. Dust at first planned to ignore it, but upon hearing a voice that not only startled him, but also instilled fear, he turned to look at none other than Nightmare himself.

"You were out rather late, don't you think? I have a questions for you Error... Do you remember me giving out an assignment?" A short chuckle rang out as Error smirked with complete confidence and arrogance.

"Not that I remember."

"Which leaves me to wonder where you've been going recently. Twice I've caught you sneaking out. The first time I was willing to ignore it, but not this time. The star shits are bothering me about random killings, so I will ask nicely. Are you doing it?" There was a lingering silence before Dust rolled his pinpricks within his sockets.

"I mean... Technically I'm not killing them. I know who, but that's classified." His smirk drew a slight curious expression from Nightmare as he signaled Error, the strings releasing Dust. He fell to the carpet flooring without notice as his body collided loudly. Groaning, he sat up to find Nightmare hovering over him.

"I expect answers Dust." 

"Can I give them in a couple days? I planned to meet up again tomorrow and I don't feel like blowing them off..." Dust smiled to himself thinking back to Classic. He had initially started this to corrupt the original and mess with everybody, but the more they killed together, the more Classic understood him. For once, someone knew Dust for himself and didn't judge.

"I will give one week. The end of the week this mystery person is to come here and meet me, understood? If I like him, maybe I'll have him join us." There was surprise as well as joy in Dusts face as he stood, nodding as a response before he dismissed himself. Nightmare breathed out a sigh as Error stood beside him.

"He's hiding something and my gut tells me it's important." 

"Let it be for now Error. Whatever it is, I am not opposed to it. It's nice seeing Dust smile and be happy, cause we all know it's not normal. His sanity is in such a deep hole that minutes ago he seemed normal. It was definitely strange, but not unwelcomed." Error nodded as he followed Nightmare further into the castle. It had peaked both interest in this mystery figure. There was no denying the excitement that would follow the end of the week.

Classic wandered from the portal to the new location Dust had given. He had mentioned something about Ink seeking the killer out, so he hoped to change Aus to avoid detection. Once, Classic would have hated hearing the word killer. But recently it was merely a word with little weight to it. The more he killed, the less he felt regret and sorrow. It was addicting and a relief. Stopping by a tree, Classic leaned on it before letting his sockets close. The cold snow soaked into his slippers, though it bothered him little. He let himself hum in the serenity the snowy area offered, a calming air surrounding it.

"My, you look a bit different!" Hearing the familiar voice Classic grew to love, he opened his sockets before smirking. He had changed his outfit a bit from the other. His normal slippers were a darker shade along with his jacket. Dust had suggested changing the attire for a type of disguise, or even a way to signify Classic's new self. Taking it to heart, he did exactly that. His jacket was still lighter than Dusts, but hung lower and the sleeves were slightly shorter.

"I did what you said. Why are you shocked?" Dust shrugged as he waltzed over, stopping before Classic. His gaze roamed as he smiled internally at the skeleton before him. Once the weakest monster now becoming a bigger threat. It was exciting and rather a turn on in Dusts opinion.

"I wasn't shocked. More overjoyed then anything. So, want to have some fun in Underswap?" Classic smirked as he chuckled lightly, Dust feeling his soul flutter slightly. The laugh was short and on the cute side.

"Is that even a question I need to answer?" 

"Nah. I know what it would be, I just hope Blue is off prancing around." Classic nodded as the two hurried off down the path.

Dust collected on Classic's clothes as he wiped at his face, blood smearing across his cheek. Dust was close by, looking at the scene with a bit of pride in him. He watched Classic finish burning the last monster of the batch with his blaster before turning toward him. Seeing the blood and slightly crazed expression brought a wide smile to Dust's features as he admired the sight before him.

"This is almost boring in my opinion. They all die so quickly..." 

"That's cause their small fry. I have a suggestion, but you need to be willing to not back out. I'll even help if it comes to it." Classic smirked as he stepped closer, his hands shoved into his pockets as he narrowed his gaze.

"You think I'll need help?" The tone was slightly teasing while it was also slightly seductive.

"I mean, only if you can't handle it!" 

"Let's get going then. I'm itching for some fun before you have to leave." Dust nodded as he stepped forward, his hands rising before he wiped the remaining blood from Classic's cheek.

"Seems we both are in the same boat." Laughter rose between the two as they hurried onward, unaware of the eyes that watched silently.

The next destination was once more in Underfell, the one place Classic had learned to despise. It was full of monsters holding a huge ego and believing they were better than the rest. If any Au was a waste of space, it was Underfell. The Sans in this Au had almost caught Classic once, though Dust stepped in and fixed the problem. The two knew each other, though it was obvious there was no real friendship.

"So... Who we killing?" Dust shrugged as he continued, his hand snagging Classic's. The action stirred a slumbering emotion in him as he hid his faint blush at the warmth the hand offered. Unknown to him, Dust was also trying to choke down his rising embarrassment. 

Ink had been more than annoyed the moment a call from Blue reached him. The fact someone had the audacity to attack creatures within Underswap left most baffled. Underswap was under the Star Sanses protection because of Blue. Attacking it was practically calling a war on whomever was the culprit. Of course, there was absolutely no lead. None. Ink had checked everywhere and asked around. No one knew or heard about the killer and it only drew more attention on Nightmare's group.

"Dream, I told you, it's fine. I asked the human to reset, so everything should be normal again..." Dream and Blue walked toward Ink, one more angry than the other. Ink always loved the patience Blue held within. 

"It's not fine Blue. Someone actually attacked your Au and we're lucky they avoided contact with you. They are killing for the sport of it!" This was the first time Ink noticed how angry Dream could become. The sight was intimidating, especially knowing Nightmare was the twin to Dream. 

"Dream's right Blue. Someone attacked in broad daylight and no one saw. They killed at least ten monsters..." Blue lowered his head as he nodded. 

"I get that, but maybe there is a reason behind killing them!" Dream scoffed as he shook his head.

"The only reason someone kills is to level up and gain more power. It's wrong in every way, yet they do it..." Silence followed as Blue wasn't sure what else to say. No one did. Who ever was killing knew their way around and it was unsettling to Ink. There weren't many who could portal around, but the number that could was still too high to visit each individually. It was troublesome. Sighing, Ink let himself sink to the floor as the others joined. There was nothing they could do without some sort of lead.
