Nightmare’s POV:

I woke up again in the morning. We decided Cross and Blue would stay back, so the three of us headed out to the Astral Plains. I look over Error’s shoulder as he scrolled through the codes. He refused to let go of my arm at the very least, so I have my arm wrapped around him. I watched as he perked up.

“I found duplicated codes! They’re in ProdigyVerse!” Error chirped as the screen disappeared.

“That’s great! Do you know all of who’s ours?” Ink asked, walking to us.

“I just noticed Dream’s code. Unless I’m inside the multiverse, anyone who’s not a god has an extremely dark version of their normal coding. Even if they are linked to that multiverse.” Error explained as he leaned on me.

“That makes sense. God’s have more magic abilities then mortals so their codes would be stronger.” Ink hummed.

“Well, we should get going,” I suggested to my lover and his yang.

“Right. ProdigyVerse should be 5th orb on the right.” Error commented as we started walking throughout the space-themed area.

We entered the multiverse Error said it was and landed in the Anti-Void. We looked around to see the version of Error. Ink walks up to start explaining what happened I believe. A few minutes go by as I studied the version of Error. He wore a plain red top, buttoned up in the middle. He had on blue jeans, ripped at his knee’s, and black shoes. He somehow has a star on his skull. I looked back down at my lover and hug him tighter as I saw him staring at his alternative self with worry. Ruru looked up to see my face.

Stolen story; please report.

“What’s wrong‌ Ruru?” I asked my boyfriend.

“…Will you ever leave me?” Ruru questioned. I blinked in surprise before kissing his skull.

“I’ll never leave you Ruru of my own free will. You are and always will be the only romantic interest I'll truly have.” I responded to the glitching skeleton. “I love you with all of my soul.”

“I love you too Nighty.” Error said as he hugged me from the side. I started to rub his skull, causing him to slightly purr.

“Guys! He found them!” Ink hollered out to us. We made our way across the white wasteland as we were soon next to them.

“By the way, just call me Prodigy.” Error’s alternative said as he opened up a portal. Through said portal was a clearing.‌ We walked through to see Horror, Dust, Killer, and Dream. They turned around to see us.

“Mom? Dad?” Killer asked in awe. I chuckled as Error started to tear up.

“Come on you children.” I lightly joked at the title they have been given a long time ago. Error opens his arms as the kids run into our embrace. We hugged back right away. From the corner of my socket, I saw Ink, Dream, and Prodigy talking.

“I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry” Error sobbed out into their chests.

“Mom you don’t have anything to be sorry for.” Dust reassured.

“I didn’t keep the balance though!” Error wept as we reassured him he did nothing wrong.

I glanced over to the trio to see that Dream was confused while Prodigy and Ink were giving Error looks of pity. Pity… We’ll need to tell them not to give us any. We survived long enough without it, we don’t need or want it now.

I turn back to see Error tiredly crying in my arms as the gang has taken a step back. I picked him up as he immediately leaned onto my chest, fully falling asleep. Dream and Ink walked up to us as Prodigy left.

“Mom really needs to stop blaming himself… How did Fate expect him to keep the balance all alone? Especially when he is such an innocent soul?” Horror sighed.

“An innocent soul that’s gone through to much,” I added. “And from what Error has told me, Fate apologized and Error accepted. Also, Ink knows of the balance now.”

“We should head back to your home so Error can rest.” Ink said as he and Dream came up to us as Prodigy left to somewhere.

“Right.” I agreed as Ink opened the portal.

We walked through and ended up in the living room. Cross and Blue hug Horror, Killer, and Dust right as they step through. I laid Error on the loveseat but he didn’t let go of my shirt so I lifted myself up and laid Error on my lap.

“We’ll go find the rest of the council while Error sleeps.” Dream said as He and Ink stood by the couch.

“Okay. I’m not sure if any other AU’s are restored yet or if we need all AU’s for the others to be restored so bring them here.” I tell them.

“Right. Whelp, Be back soon!” Ink agreed before opening a portal, leading to the two yangs to leave.
