--- Ink's POV ---

Sooner or later, a war had begun amongst Dust, Nightmare, Killer and Error. Geno and Reaper looked impressed at how they were fighting, Blue was concerned, Fresh was playing on his Gameboy, Fell and Classic were appalled, Sci was backing away, the entity was enjoying the negativity while I and Cross were disappointed in them.

"Ok let's shut up and go to the mansion already!" I shouted loudly enough for the four of them to listen. They soon began to quieten down before everyone's attention was on me.

"We should go during the night?" Geno asked.

"We can't. We've been going in the night for a while so security is up and running," Error mentioned.

"Just go now. In the day when he'd least expect us to come," the entity suggested as if no one was taking its ideas into consideration.

"So you're saying we're supposed to waltz in there without getting a single scratch?" Fell asked, unamusedly.

"Uh, duh. Of course, we are. Isn't that what he does?" the entity pointed at Reaper. He gave a huge grin at Cross who was seemingly annoyed.

"That's me," Reaper said, smiling like an idiot.

"Yeah. I remember the time you 'waltzed' into the station back in Austrailia and knocked out half the officers there," Cross hissed at him while Reaper kept his smile.

"You did that? By yourself?" Nightmare asked, impressed.

"Look. The almighty Nightmare is impressed!" Error cooed as Nightmare gave a death glare.

"So since we know there's a possible chance of us doing with a larger number of people, we should start to get a move on," I suggested and everyone finally agreed.

"Next stop, the mansion brah?" Fresh asked, looking up from his Gameboy. Classic nodded at him as we were exiting the house, with one plan set in mind.

The mansion was literally nearby Classic's house so arriving there wasn't an issue. The only other issue was getting back in the house since there is an increased amount of guards. 

"How are we going to get past?" Fell asked.

"I got a plan. But I need paper," I asked shyly, forgetting to bring some along with me. Everyone groaned in annoyance while Fresh was busy looking through his fanny pack. He fished out a notepad which was a bright neon yellow colour.

"Here ya go brah!"

"Thanks," I took it before drawing two water balloon filled with ink. I worked my magic, making them real in front of me. Sci was astonished and Blue was amazed as per usual. 

"What do we do with those?" Classic asked politely. 

"This," I said before aiming one of them onto the roof. Thankfully no one noticed as the guards continued their work. I quickly went to the forest beside and threw the other one on the floor, creating a puddle of ink. I stepped aside as I showed it to the others.

"How is this supposed to help us?" Killer said, going up next to the ink and pointing at it.

"Here, I'll show you," I shoved Killer in the puddle like he was falling in the water. He disappeared and I showed the roof, where Killer was covered in the ink but was standing on the roof. Nightmare gestured him to duck as Killer immediately listened and hid, looking out for other guards. "A'right then. Who's next?" I asked. 

Geno stepped up with then entity following behind me. He jumped in and landed on the roof, quickly ducking to not get noticed. Soon everyone followed, making their way on the roof to the North Wing. Only Error was left as he looked, staring at the ink. 

"Aren't you going in?" I asked, impatiently. He looked at me seriously before grabbing my hand. Suddenly my head started hurting and was dizzy. Once my vision came back, I realised we were on the roof and we didn't go in the ink. "Gee, warning much," I said grumpily. Once I looked around, I saw that everyone was missing.

"Where are the others?" I asked. Error pointed as I saw Dust waving in the distance. I got up as I walked along the roof without slipping. Thankfully Error was behind me as he caught me several times as I misplaced my foot. As we got to the room where we saved Fresh from, we saw the rest of them waiting.

"I guess this is it," Horror muttered, giving glances at Lust who was clearly avoiding his attention.

"Before we go, I think you two need to solve some issue," I looked at Lust and Horror.

--- Horror's POV ---

I was literally clawing on my jacket as Ink forced us to sit down and talk it out before we all leave the room and take on the boss. I looked at Lust sympathetically, hoping he would forgive me but he was very firm on ignoring me completely.

"So, what's wrong?" Ink asked.

"This is the last time I'll ever say this but here it goes. Back in the days, he and I were dating and he promised me that he would never leave me till the day I die, always loving each other. Then guess what happens. He leaves me on a rude comment that he never loved me in the first place! And now I see him here?!" Lust was furious but kept his voice down since we were in the mansion. I felt guilt pierce in my heart as I saw tears threatening to fall from his eyes.

"I..I didn't mean to..." I muttered.

"How? What do you mean when it was clearly your fault?" Lust asked, seemingly calm but held his cool together. I grabbed his hands tightly as he squirmed to get free but to no avail. I looked at him straight in the eye.

"I was abandoned and hurt, dumped on the street to scavenge for myself. My father was ruthlessly murdered in front of me and my mother. Soon my mother couldn't earn enough food to support us so we were poor. I dropped out of school and did my best but soon my mother was sick and the best place for me to go was to leave the country. I had to leave you without you following so I made the comment up. It hurts me more to say it to you than I would ever experience that pain in real life. Please...can you forgive me..." I quietly murmur, almost in tears of my own. Everyone around me had a dull look on their faces while the entity couldn't care less.

Before I let go of his hands, I felt a warm peck of a kiss on my cheek as Lust returned to his seat. I instantly flushed as he giggled quietly and we were all relieved. 

"I forgive you but you can't go doing that stunt ever again!" Lust said, playfully punching my shoulder. 

"I won't, I won't!" I said chuckling as Ink let out a sigh of relief.

"Great! Now we can go and overthrow my dad!" Error sighed annoyingly as he made his way to the door, slamming it open and bringing attention to the guards nearby. Before they could alert the other members, Error had already taken the devices away, holstering them up into the air. We walked casually as the guards were dangling in the air. This continued as Error forcibly pushed past these guards and made it to the living room.

Except for the person we were after wasn't there.

However, there was someone else there. 

It was Nightmare's twin brother and a woman, sitting on the sofa.

"Dream!" Nightmare shouted as he made his way to Dream. 

"Mum?!" Geno shouted as he rushed to the woman who looked quite familiar...

"What?" I heard Error hiss loudly. Fresh stood by him clearly confused as well. I saw the woman look up with dread in her eyes as she set eyes on the two.

"You have some explainin' to do brah," Fresh asked seriously, surprising us. Wait, I've definitely seen her before? What the hell?

"What are you guys even doing?" Geno asked slightly angrily, defending his mother.

"Just spectating an unexpected family reunion," a voice we all know so well echoed through the room as I saw the man himself walk with a bunch of his goons behind him.

"So this is what you've been hiding from me, huh?"
