An Error in the Stars || Undertale AUs [Abandoned]

3.2) Shattering Worlds

Ink was in shock. He had been unable to do anything, as if frozen, while Dream, Red and Lust left. As he continued to think, he pieced more of the situation together, 'They left with Dream's friend, Indigo- wait, I think Dream called him Nighty... does that mean that was Nightmare? How? Nightmare's a goopy black skeleton with tentacles, how could he look like a normal skeleton? Why did Dream bring Nightmare here? Wtf just happened?'

"Ink! What's going on?"

"Ink! Are you okay?!"

"Ink!"

"Ink!"

"Ink!"

"INK! SNAP OUT OF IT! WE NEED YOUR HELP!"

Ink came back to reality with a start,

"Sorry. I don't know what got into me, I was just completely out of it. It was like I was watching through a window, I could see what was going on but I just couldn't do anything."

"Ink, I'm not talking about that. I'm worried about Red," said Sci. "He and Lust went with them, and who knows what could happen now?! I don't want him to get hurt."

"Sci, we'll find him, but to do that, we need to work together. I'm going to try and find Edge and Hearts, maybe they'll know something about why their brothers left. I need you to keep everyone in line. Get Outer and Thorn (Flowerfell) to help you."

"Got it, Ink. Hurry, okay? With both you and Dream gone, this is going to be madness."

"True. I'll try my best to do it quickly. In fact, I'll get going now. When I get back, we can discuss what to do next."

Ink swiped Broomie on the floor of the Doodle Sphere, opening a portal to Lusttale. He hated it there, but he had to talk to Hearts, and Edge would probably murder him if they had to go to Lusttale.

As he landed in Lusttale, he could already tell that he wasn't going to enjoy finding Hearts. Not one bit.

"Welcome to Underfell, Hearts. Stay close to me, monsters here kill each other for fun. Actually, now that I think about it, I've got a better idea. Hearts, take my hand, please?"

"Okay!"

As soon as Hearts grabbed Ink's hand, they disappeared, taking a nice shortcut to the Underfell bro's house.

After they appeared right outside the front door, Hearts noticed dust on the snow, and he was horrified. Ink ignored the dust, used to the horrors of AUs, and knocked harshly on the door, making sure that Edge could hear them. When Edge seemed to be ignoring them, Ink yelled, "EDGE, IF YOU DON'T COME GET THE DOOR RIGHT NOW, I AM GOING TO PAINT YOUR ENTIRE F****** HOUSE HOT PINK!!!"

The door remained shut, so Ink swiped Broomie at it with a type of paint he rarely used- acid paint. The door began to melt, and soon there was a hole large enough for Ink to reach through and unlock it. He quickly did so, and opened the door for himself and Hearts to enter. Ink began to look throughout the house, even checking the bone closet under the sink. He found nothing of interest, not even a bottle of mustard.
