Chapter 42 - Storming In (Pt. 3)
(The Lust getting trapped somewhere because of his shirt was also from TheWingedMiskit, so thank you!)
Lust grumbled in annoyance the while time as he traveled to the roof, closing the door behind him once he reached the roof. He then carefully went to the edge and grabbed his shirt, making sure he didn't get too close to the edge.
"I have no idea how these kind of things keep happening..." He grumbled, walking back to the door.
Which had automatically locked behind him.
"You've gatta be kidding me," Lust grumbled, staring at the door, hoping if he willed it enough, it would open.
But, since he didn't have that type of magic, the door didn't open.
Leaving Lust trapped and alone on the roof.
"I can just call someone to unlock it," Lust said, digging into his pockets, "It-"
"Oh no," He changed his sentence, freezing as he realized what giant mistake he had just made.
He left his cell phone on his desk.
~~~~~~
Error knew where Ink would probably be.
When they had been dating, Error had grown to know Ink very well. He knew his favorite foods, his habits, his likes and dislikes, just everything. And he also knew where Ink would go if he was running away from his problems. Somewhere pretty, where he could enjoy the scenery and let his stress melt away.
In the park.
So once Error regained his composure, he hopped back into his car after trying to put the door back to the best of his ability, using his strings to tie it together.
He was probably at the park he got lost inside of before, that was almost a guarantee. Although, the part of the park was going to be difficult, so he had to go to the ranger once more to figure out where he would be.
"You again," NettisLettis said as Error entered her Office, crunching on a bag of potato chips, "What do you want?"
"Killer isn't with me," Error said, "And I'm not making you find Ink again."
"Thank god," She said, sitting up straighter in her chair, "I don't want to leave my chair, it's very nice. And don't you have some kind of job, or life, that doesn't interfere with mine?"
"I just need to know where the nicest place here is," Error said, "That's all."
"What?" She asked, confused.
"Ink told me to come to the prettiest part of the park was with the best scenery, but I don't know where it is. I just need a map to point it out."
"Fine," She sighed.
The park ranger set aside her bag of chips and tossed open a drawer, pulling out a large map. She then unfolded it and pulled out a sharpie from her pocket, circling a spot next to a large lake.
"If he's an artist, like I suspect, he'd like this spot, especially when it's autumn," She explained, handing him the map.
"Thank you," Error said, "I'll be out of your hair now."
He turned around and started to walk away, only for Nettislettis to say something.
"I can tell by your expression you screwed up. Don't mess up again, alright?"
"I won't," Error said before he walked out, determination filling his bones.
He wasn't going to screw up this time.
~~~~~~
Blue could only follow behind Edge in fear.
Once he figured out the true works of their 'relationship', if you'd even call it that, he discovered why he always denied everything. He was afraid that Edge might do something painful to him if he accepted the facts. That would explain why he was unconsciously ignoring the signs, he didn't want to deal with the consequences.
But now it was too late.
To anyone who saw them passing by, they looked like a pair of Fiancé's heading off to enjoy some lunch together, hand in hand. But Edge's grip on Blue's arm was strong, and kinda painful, too. He winced as his grip tightened, closing his eyes as fear flooded over his mind, wave after wave, making him barely able to concentrate on where he was going.
Suddenly, Edge practically threw him forward by his arm, making Blue stumble forward and almost fall, saving himself at the last second.
"Why are we here, Edge?" Blue asked him, looking over his shoulder as he straightened up.
"My useless f*cking brother is gone somewhere," Edge growled, cracking his knuckles, "So the deals off."
"What deal?" Blue asked, his bones trembling with fear as they clattered together.
The way Edge was standing was horrifying for Blue. His left eye was glowing menacingly, and since he was twice as taller than Blue, that just made it even worse for the shorter one. His eye sockets widened as he took a few steps back, a hand covering his chest.
"E-Edge?" The skeleton stuttered, "W-Why are you l-looking at m-ne like that?"
"Why the hell did you go to Dust's last night?" Edge suddenly yelled, grabbing his bandanna and raising him into the air by it threateningly.
"H-How d-do you k-know t-t-that?" Blue stuttered, his skull whitening even further if it could.
"You're mine, Blue, I can do whatever the f*ck I want with you!" Edge yelled, bringing up his fist, "And since I'm pretty sure that you're cheating on me, I'm pretty p*ssed!"
"I'm n-not!" Blue said, his bones rattling rather quickly now, "I never d-did cheat on you!"
"Oh, right!" Edge said, "You think you're better with me with that little punk, huh? Well, you're my property now, and only I'm allowed to even look at you!"
"B-But-"
Blue yelped as he was thrown backwards at a strong force, his back slamming into the wall. He could hear a crack or two, rather from him or the wall. But judging by the splintering pain that pierced his spine, he was pretty sure something was injured back there.
"You're such a pathetic b*tch!" Edge yelled, a few red bones floating behind him before he brought his arm down.
And they were sent flying at Blue.
~~~~~~
Dust just couldn't handle it.
The person he had fallen for was getting married to some jerk, his brothers image was gone now, and his house was empty.
Everything was going wrong for him.
So he didn't even bother to come to work, he was planning on quitting and moving somewhere far away. He didn't know where hr would move, he just wanted to be out of there before the wedding. He couldn't handle hearing the news of them becoming husbands.
Dust didn't want to stay at home either, he wasn't a fan of quiet and empty places. But he wasn't a fan of loud and crowded places either. He preferred a good middle, with not too much or too little people.
So he was at a nice coffee place that he had heard of Dream talking about, drinking a coffee as he was looking at places to rent on his phone. With his 'expertise' in murdering, he could become an assassin or something, get some money through that.
His phone dinged with a text suddenly, making him sigh and drag down the notification.
Why was Sci texting him?
YOU NEED TO GET OVER HERE
ASAP
Why are you texting me?
YOU JUST NEED TO COME
EDGE KNOWS BLUE WENT TO YOUR HOUSE LAST NIGHT
How?
I DON'T KNOW, BUT HE'S ANGRY!
HE'S ATTACKING BLUE!
WE NEED YOUR HELP, HE MIGHT END UP DUSTING HIM!
~~~~~~
Sci felt helpless.
He couldn't do anything.
He had enabled the elevator again and freed the doors from their constraints after confessing to Fell, and he had taken him to a side room so they could talk in private. Unfortunately, they had forgotten about Edge, who was probably pretty angry and had nothing to beat with his anger.
And when they ahd heard the yelling from the floor below them from Edge and Blue, they knew they probably should've payed more attention.
"Sh*t," Fell said, grabbing Sci's sleeve, "We have to stop him."
"Should I call the security officer downstairs?" Sci asked him.
"She won't be able to handle against him for very long, she'd probably be killed by him, he's really mad right now," Fell said, "I'll stall him, get Dust. He's probably got the most chance against him."
"Why don't we just call the police?" Sci asked him.
"Call them after you get Dust," Fell said.
So, that's what Sci did.
He texted Dust in a frantic, quickly telling him Blue was in danger and he needed to come over there. He then started to type in 911, but he heard a loud thud, so he stopped and ran down the hall to check on Fell.
Fell was standing on front of Blue, a bone attack summoned to block the attack that Edge had thrown at him.
"Hey, I thought we had a deal!" Fell yelled.
"Well, your pathetic a*s didn't show up in time!" Edge said, smacking away the bone attack like it was piece of paper, shattering the bones, "So I'm going to have a great time!"
Before any of them could react, a few red glowing bones had pierced Fell's chest, making him grunt with pain as he fell backwards, a trail of blood seeping from his mouth.
.1/1 H.P.
"Fell!" Sci yelled, quickly running to his crush's side and kneeling down.
"Edge, s-stop it!" Blue yelled, tears rolling down his own face, "P-Please Edge!"
"He's your own brother! How could you!" Sci yelled, hugging Fell to his chest.
"It's f-fine," Fell coughed, trying to stand up, "I can s-still fight."
"I'm not in the mood for your boyfriends bullsh*t!" Edge yelled, kicking Sci away.
Sci slammed into the wall, screaming with pain as one of his ribs loudly cracked. Fell called out for him, crawling over to Sci, who was now unconscious from the impact. He was half crawling and half dragging himself, flopping down next to him as he checked his H.P.
.9/1
"What the hell?" Fell yelled, hugging Sci carefully, "He has nothing to do with-"
"I said SHUT UP!" Edge yelled, lashing out his hand and grabbing Blue's throat, lifting him into the air by it.
Blue started crying as he clawed at his Fiancé's hand, choked sounds of pain emerging from his teeth as he struggled. He tried to kick away him, but to no avail. Skeletons didn't need air, but their necks were sensitive to pain.
"P-Please!" He begged, trying to kick him away so the burning pain of his neck would go away, "S-Somebody, help!"
But nobody-
Someone come.
~~~~~~
Horror took notice rather quickly that Lust wasn't back in time.
He kept glancing over at the receptions desk, hoping that he would come back so he could look at the Instagram post he had sent him. But he had been gone around 10 minutes now, which was pretty unusual for him, even when he had lost his shirt.
So Horror got up and started to look around for him, checking the hall way and the elevator. Then he spotted the stairs to the roof were open, and connected the dots when he heard light pounding.
"Lust, is that you?" Horror called, lightly knocking on the door.
"Yes!" Lust yelled, "It locked behind me, can you open it up?"
"Yeah, hold on!" Horror said, pausing as he unlocked the door then opened it.
Lust fell forward with an 'oof', blinking as hit the floor. Horror laughed and helped him up, smiling at him.
"Thanks," Lust sighed, dusting off his pants, "I thought no one would find me."
"I'm always your night in shining armor!" Horror laughed, kissing the top of his skull.
"Yeah, thanks again," Lust said to him, "You're the best."
~~~~~~
Blue did not think Edge was the best. He thought he was quiet the opposite, the worst. If he survived this, he would have nightmares for a really, really long time.
But, thankfully, someone had came.
Edge's soul suddenly glowed blue as he was thrown to the side, dropping Blue to the ground with a thud, him instantly reaching up to his throat to check for damage as he looked at his savior.
Dust.
Who was extremely p*ssed.
"Blue!" Dust sighed with relief, rushing over to him with concern flooding his soul, "Are you ok? Are you hurt?"
"Thank you!" Blue sobbed, throwing his body into Dust's embrace, "I was so scared, I made a big mistake!"
"It's okay, I'm here now!" Dust soothed, rubbing his skull affectionately, "Don't cry, I won't let him hurt you again."
"YOU LITTLE SH*T!" Edge screeched as he stood up, his eye glowing with pure hatred.
"How could you treat Blue like this?" Dust yelled, standing up as he ducked Blue behind him protectively, "He's the most nicest and amazing monster I have ever met! You're lucky to even have him and you treat him like this? You don't even deserve to live!"
And at that moment, Blue knew sh*t was about to go down.
Edge sent an army of bones at Dust, who blocked them with his own glowing purple bones. He then used his blue soul attack to lift Blue and place him more a more safely distance away from the fight, next to Sci and Fell.
"C-Call the police... And an ambulance..." Fell grunted shakily, pulling a bone out of his ribcage slowly.
"Right!" Blue said, his voice wavering as he pulled out his phone from his pocket.
As he typed in 911, Dust had lunged at Edge, smacking his face directly with a bone.
"911 what's your emergency?" The operated recited the usual line.
"My name I-is Blue! M-My ex Fiancé, Edge, went crazy in my Office, he's attacking me and my friends! Sci unconscious, Fell is seriously injured, and Dust is trying to fight him! We need an ambulance and some police, I think he wants to kill us!" Blue sobbed onto the phone.
"Stay calm sir, what's your location?" The male over the line said.
Blue told him it and the man said help was on the way, but he also told him to keep the phone on for any updates.
Dust then sent more bone attacks at Edge, who took quiet a bit of damage. The tall skeleton then kicked Dust away from him and sent a gaster blaster beam at him, which Dust narrowly dodged. Dust then sent larger, more powerful gaster blasters at him, and one of them managed to get a direct hit on his chest. Edge yelled in anger and pain, getting a hit on Dust's skull, creating a long crack on it. Dust grunted but stayed silent, his eyes glowing with burning hatred as he lashed out another attack.
"They're... Oh god... So much violence..." Blue said.
"Please explain to me what's going on! Is someone hurt?" The operator asked.
"Give that here," Fell grunted, grabbing the phone, "'Sup."
"Who is this? Where did Blue go?" They asked.
"He's right next to me, pretty much having a panic attack," Fell explained, "I'm the dude with a bone sticking out of my chest."
"Please explain what's occurring right now, sir!" The operator pressed.
"Well, Dust is protecting Blue, Sci, and I right now. He's got a crack in his skull now, but Edge is getting beaten up pretty bad. Oh wow, talking a lot is making me woozie, I'm probably going to pass out soon."
"What's your health at, and what injuries do you all have? The police and ambulance are almost there, sir."
"0.1 is my health, I was impaled by two bones, I pulled one of them out, the other is stuck in there. Bleeding pretty bad, though. Blue is crying, but other then that he's fine. And Sci was knocked out awhile ago, and his ribcage is broken."
At that moment Dust had slammed Edge so hard into the wall that it broke, a loud crash coming with it. Surprisingly, the warehouse workers didn't seem to care at all, since no one came running. Blue screamed with worry and covered his eye sockets, unable to watch the fight anymore.
"What was that?"
"They broke through a wall..." Fell muttered meekly, holding his skull as it throbbed with pain and his vision blurred, "Heya, Blue... You should take the phone, everything is going blurry..."
"Fell?" Blue asked.
"Sir?"
"Heh, good god it hurts..." He muttered, closing his eyes and slumping backwards as the pain overwhelmed him and made him pass out.
"Sir! Fell! Did you just dust?" The operator panicked, "The police are less than a minute away!"
"No, he just p-passed out!" Blue said into the phone as he grabbed it.
Sirens could be heard in the distance as Dust and Edge stopped fighting, both of them turning towards the window to see multiple police cars and an ambulance driving towards them at full speed.
"Sh*t!" Edge said, spitting out blood as he started to back away, "Gatta scam. This ain't over, punk!"
"Wa-"
Dust was interrupted by a wave of more bones being sent at him, making him jump back and block them. And when the bones shattered, Edge had disappeared by then, leaving them standing there as the police pulled up to the building.
~~~~~~
It was around noon that Error had found Ink.
Error was emerged from the treeline to find the beautiful scene in front of him, the lake sparkling under the sun as fluffy white clouds swirled around it. The trees swayed gently in a small, gentle breeze.
It was breathtaking.
But that's not what Error cared about, he barely even noticed it. What he cared about was his ex sitting alone at a bench, a stroller sitting next to him. His arms were crossed as he stared down at the luscious grass, not even glancing up as Error walked rather loudly towards him, and he didn't even look over when Error sat down next to him.
"It's a beautiful place, isn't it?" Error asked him, not glancing over at the parent, "Just like you."
Ink didn't respond, but a rainbow colored blush spread across his cheeks as he glanced over slightly.
"And it's autumn, so that means it looks even prettier, you can probably draw this really good," Error said, "You should've brought your art things. You left them on your counter."
No response.
"By the way, I accidentally broke down your door," The red eye socketed skeleton apologized, "I can fix it."
No response. Ink just simply stared down at his feet and started to slowly swing them back and forth, hugging his arms to his chest.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Error suddenly changed the subject, "I should at least deserve to know about my own child."
Silence quickly overcame the conversation before Error heard a sniff. He turned to see Ink staring at the lake with tears in his eye sockets, a frown covering his face as he stared crying.
"Oh god, don't cry," Error whispered, pulling Ink into a hug, "If you cry I'm going to cry!"
"I-I was so scared," Ink sobbed into his hands, "All alone, w-with a child! I was s-scared that you'd b-be mad, a-and try to get an a-abortion like my D-Dad tried to do to my Mom!"
"Why would I do that?" Error asked him.
"I don't know, but I didn't want to take any chances! So I ran, like I always do. I never bother to even solve any of my problems, I just run, like a wimp."
"I can't blame you, I would've done the same in that situation. And you're not a wimp."
"Yes I am! I couldn't even handle raising a baby! I've had a couple of meltdowns already and it's only gotten worse overtime."
"That's because you were a single parent with a child you weren't prepared for! But I'm here now, and I'm going to fix my mistake of letting you go and not taking care of my child, if you'll let me."
Ink sniffed as he wiped away his tears from his eye sockets, pulling away as he said, "I guess we both messed up, huh?"
"Yeah," Error sighed.
They both turned back towards the lake, not finding much to say.
"Do... Do you want to see him?" Ink asked.
"Really?" Error perked up, "You'll let me see him?"
"I'm not souless," Ink muttered, reaching over to the stroller.
P.J was asleep, squirming as he felt his Father pick him up. Error stared in awe as Ink carefully placed P.J into Error's arms.
And he never felt more complete in his life.
A hole on his soul had been filled as he help P.J, staring down at the small bundle of joy happily.
"He looks just like us," Error whispered, lightly brushing his hands against P.J's skull, "He's so beautiful."
"His name is PaperJam, P.J for short," Ink told him, leaning against him as they both stared down at their child.
"That's the name we both thought was pretty cool," Error sighed with relief, "You named him after that cool name we saw in that one show."
"I couldn't think of anything else," Ink muttered, "He's still a part of your soul, after all."
At that moment, P.J had woken up, blinking a few times as he escaped sleep. He then giggled and wiggling his arms around, reaching up to Error. It was obvious he felt the connection that children and monster parents felt, happy that they were finally a full family.
They all were happy, the three of them sitting in a beautiful park surrounded by nature, all of them in one embrace.
Their souls connected as a family for the first time in their lives.
Ink looked over at Error, who was laughing down at P.J as he held him close, missing the top of his head. They both looked extremely happy, finally connecting their broken family. Ink was undeniable happy too, he felt like a big load was lifted off of his shoulders.
Maybe...
Maybe it was time to forgive Error.
~~~~~~
Nightmare was upset.
Someone like Error attacked, and if he had attacked him, or Cross...
In his passive form, he wouldn't be able to fight back.
So he was obviously upset when he got to his temporary home.
He stormed to his room in anger, slamming the door behind him and plopping onto his bed. So he hugged a pillow close to him and just lay there, overthinking what could've happened if Edge had instead came up to the Office.
If he had decided to attack Cross...
Nightmare yelled in anger and buried his face into his pillow, rolling around on his bed. He didn't like this, at all. He felt so defenseless and helpless. He just needed another day or two so he could gain his dark form back, then he would've been able to stop Edge.
But instead, Dust had to come from god knows where to help.
"You ok?" Cross asked as he opened the door, "I heard frustrated yells."
"No, I'm not!" Nightmare grumbled, "I'm stuck in this useless form and I can't fight for crap!"
"Is this about what happened today?" Cross asked, sitting down next to him.
"Yes!" Nightmare grumbled, "What if Edge attacked you and I?"
"We would've the fought him off," Cross said, "I have my knifes, don't forget."
"But what if he overpowered that and you needed help?" Nightmare asked, "I'm useless in this state! It's so stupid!"
"You're worried about me...?" Cross asked him.
"Of course I am!" Nightmare said, "You're one of the few people that actually tolerate me for my personality and even like to hang out with me, even with my flaws. I don't want you to get hurt, you're one of my only true friends I really like."
"Could we..." Cross trailed off.
"Hm?" The passive skeleton hummed, looking over.
"Could we be more than friends?"
Nightmare stared at him in surprise, sitting up.
"You mean... Date?"
"Yeah," Cross said, blushing purple as he twitted his fingers nervously, "You know... Go on long walks on the beach, cuddle while we watch some romantic movie together... That kind of date."
"You want..." Nightmare asked in disbelief, "To date me?"
"I-If you'd let me!" Cross stuttered quickly, his confidence dissolving under Nightmares gaze.
And that's when Nightmare tackled him into a kiss.
~~~~~~
Edge was angry that he got bested by a punk skeleton his Fiancé had been cheating on him with.
He barely had any power left, so he couldn't teleport very far. Just enough to get away from the cops and limp through some ally ways to make his way across the large city.
It was pretty obvious he was going to be arrested when he wad found, fired, and his engagement was off. So he was angry all right.
He was going to get revenge on them, he declared to himself, he would.
But first, he needed to find a place to recover.
"Edge?"
He turned to see that captain girl from the ship staring at him with confusion, tilting her head. She had two bags of groceries in her hands.
Perfect! He could kill her, gain some exp, and steal her ship! He could figure out a course of action there!
"Bubbly!" He said, "I need your help! I was attacked by someone!"
"Were you now?" She asked, "Aren't you sure it's the other way around?"
"...What?"
Edge could feel his sins crawling on his back as he backed away. Something about her smile just felt off, something that made him want to vomit.
Suddenly, multiple cloaked people came out of the shadows around him, making him freeze. He couldn't tell how many exactly, but he could recognize a few of them from the ship.
And they looked p*ssed.
"You know," Bubbly said as she set aside the bags, "We really don't like it when people interrupt our plans."
And that's when the group of people around him closed in.
《》《》《》
