3 person POV:

It was the usual fight between Star Sanses and Nightmare's gang. Weapons crashed, paint was thrown and strings flew through the air. And none of them knew that this battle would be different.

As Error and Ink fought with each other something happened... a rainbow lightning bolt suddenly hit Ink square in the chest making him fall to the ground. Everyone stood there surprised at what just happened, not sure what to do now.

''Umm... You okay squid?'' Error finally spoke up. Ink slowly sat up, his eye lights changing colours and shapes so quickly they started to blur together.
''''I-I don't know.'' he answered as he clutched his shirt.

He started to frantically look around the room, his eyes changing quicker and quicker as his breath became ragged.
''I have to go.'' he mumbled before teleporting off.

Everyone was still shocked but after a moment Nightmare broke the silence.
''Go check up on him. We can finish this once he's back in shape.'' he said setting Dream, who was being choked by his tentacles just a moment ago, on the ground.

''O-okay... see you later Nightmare.'' Dream said before teleporting himself and Blue their base.

This will be interesting...

Ink's POV:

I clutched to my shirt tighter as tears spilled out of my eyes. ''What's happening to me?'' I ask no one in particular.
''You got the soul you always wanted my child.'' I heard a female voice say.

''W-who's there?!'' I shouted out, but there was no response this time. I slowly lifted my shirt up and gasped in surprise. Inside my ribcage a white soul pulsed softly with a rainbow glow.
''What the fuck?'' I whispered to myself.

Suddenly a splitting headache hit me. I gripped the sides of my head as pictures flashed before my eye and loud voices filled my ears (?).

Balance, how could I be so blind?

Fake friends, how could I not heard the insults?

True heroes, how can I make it up for them?

The headache left as quickly as it came, leaving me crying on the floor. Then, I passed out.

Error's POV:

I scrolled through the AU's, searching for squid. You may be wondering why, after all his 'friends' are searching for him. But they aren't, they're hiding in their base not bothering to more their selfish asses.

Finally after hours of searching I landed in some Aftertale copy and in middle of Waterfall laid an unconscious Ink. I sighed in relief before picking him up bridal style. I could feel soft, soul like pulsing coming from his chest but that didn't make any sense.

He doesn't have a soul after all...

Right?

~time skip~

Ink's POV:

I slowly blinked my eyes open only to see myself in an unfair place. It was dark bedroom, the walls were painted purple, the curtains were black blocking any light form the windows behind. The bed that I was laying on was bit enough to fit four people without much problem.

There was a desk along with a chair in the corner of the room. Almost opposite to the bed there was wardrobe along with some bookshelves here and there. It was fancy to say the least.

I placed my hand on my chest feeling my new soul beat softly. 'So it wasn't a dream.' I thought. After a minute or two a door that I didn't notice before opened, two dark figures emerging from it.

''Oh! He's awake.'' one of them said.
''I'll go get Night. You'll make sure he doesn't do anything stupid.'' the other one replied.
''Oki!'' the first one said before the second disappeared behind the door.

''Where the fuck is a light switch here?'' he thought out loud, as he tried to turn on the light. After few seconds the room was suddenly filled with bright light, forcing me to close my eyes for a second.

''Found it.'' he said cheerfully. I slowly blinked to adjust to the light before looking at him. It was Killer, I honestly wasn't really surprised his voice was really specific so it wasn't hard to recognize. The second voice could be eather Dust or Horror, hard to tell, and he said something about Night... did he mean Nighma-?

Before I could finish my train of thought the door opened again, reviving Dust and the Negative king himself.
''How are you feeling?'' Nightmare asked.
''I-I don't know... weird... how long was I out?'' I asked shyly.

''Almost a day.'' he answered. My eyes winded in shock, my soul was really woking, if it didn't I wouldn't feel so relieved, shocked and for some reason flustered, not after not drinking my vials for so long.

''Do you know what happened?'' he asked softly.
''N-not really... I ju-ju know that now... that now I...'' I tried to finish the sentence but for whatever reason I couldn't. I just expanded my hand out and summoned my soul to it.

''This happened.'' I explained.
''Huh...'' all three of them said.
''T-the balance... I needed to apologise to Error.'' I said with new found confidence.
''What you need to do now is rest.'' Nightmare said firmly.

''B-but-!'' before I could finish he cut me off.
''I'll tell Horror to make you something to eat. And if you really want to talk to Error I'll get him to come soon.'' he said in 'this is an order' kinda tone.
''O-okay.'' I whispered.

This sure will be interesting...

(Idk what else to ad for this is it... for now. Hope you enjoyed.

Bye~)
