###### =========================================================================

the sun shined down upon the world of Staffverse. the day was like any other day, or rather a day where nothing excited happening at all. 404 sat in his room along with Chara, who were discussing about children.

"Will.. I don't know what to say.. are we ready to be parents? we haven't had time to prepare, we need baby clothes we need diapers, foo-" Chara was cut off by 404 kissing him on the lips

"Its okay Chara, i understand your worry for it. i promise you we will be great parents, remember were just planning, its not like we are having one immediately" 404 said in a calm, manner.

Chara looked at 404 and his worry had vanished. Chara sighed and smiled at 404. "you're right" he said. "I'm sure we will make fantastic parents. For now, we need to get prepared! ill get Aurora, and Quenya to come help get baby supplies. oh I'm so excited!" Chara jumped around with glee. 404 stood up from his bed and held Chara's hands and planted a kiss on his forehead

"Calm down babe, go get those supplies, ill meet you at the park later today, okay?" 404 said. Chara nodded in agreement and practically skipped out of the room. 404 looked up in the white void.

"cant believe this is actually happening" he thought. 404 lowered his head and chuckled to himself as he opened his door and left his room.

Later on in the day, 404 waited in the park. he was seated on a bench waiting for Chara to show up. suddenly the ground shook. 404 stood up in shock as up on the hill he saw a portal open up, through it he could see the Edensphere. Out of nowhere three 404's had emerged from the portal.

Each 404 looked different. one seemed to be like a king multiverse, being a 404 that's half black half white. another seemed to have what looked to be rings on his clothing and even skull. The last 404 seemed to have some sort of mask covering his face, along with a blade for an arm.

"are you sure this is the place? it doesn't even seem like a multiverse" the King multiverse 404 asked.

the ringed 404 pulled up a holographic screen, then looked up to Staff!404 "this is the place." he said

the masked 404 stood there, silent. his presence seemed familiar to Staff!404 but he couldn't quite place it. soon the sky turned dark as a loud voice boomed from the portal

"ATTENTION ALL STAFFVERSE INHABITANTS! WE HAVE COME TO ANNOUNCE YOUR TIME IN THIS STORY IS OVER!" shouted the Km!404. "I AM REGAL! KING AND FUTURE GOD OF EVERYTHING YOU KNOW!"

Regal was hit in the head by the ringed 404. "shut up, your getting on my nerves with all this yelling. I am Salazar." the ringed 404 said "And this is Havoc, although he doesn't want to waste his breath on introducing himself."

Staff!404 stood in shock, his home was threatened once again, this time by these weird looking 404's rather than those Fell variants.

"surrender now, and we'll make your death much less painful." Salazar said

Staff!404 started sweating, he gritted his teeth. he couldn't let this happen, not a second time. Alpha soon met 404 outside, he was out of breath, most likely from running to the park.

"w-what the hell is going on?!" alpha questioned. he looked to the three 404's "not again" he said

"gather everyone up and get them to a safe place, ill handle this." Staff!404

Alpha nodded and flew off at high speeds. The newly built sirens has blared throughout the reality, much like it had once done in Alphatale.

"this doesn't look too good" Staff!404 thought to himself. The ground then shook as he saw Regal, who has summoned a large blaster, both black and white in color.

"is that him?" Regal asked, his eyes darting towards Staff!404

"seems so" Salazar replied. Regal had moved the blaster, or rather Mainframe Canon, towards Staff!404. The Mainframe Canon began to charge, emanating powerful energy as it does so

"lets wipe him from the face of the Eden tree, along with this pitiful verse." Regal smiled, he pointed towards Staff!404, which the Mainframe Canon began to respond to its creator then it fired, giving off a huge shock wave which sent many objects flying back. Staff!404 had reacted quickly and moved out of the way.

"what a shame, i guess ill be doing your work now, Regal. Since you don't know how to hit a target" Salazar said, pissing off Regal

"SHUT THE HELL UP!! HE JUST DODGED OUT OF THE WAY YOU DUMBASS! I DIDNT MISS SHIT!" Regal yelled, only to be hit on the head again, this time by Havoc, Knowing it was from Havoc, Regal has instantly shut up. Salazar gave a small chuckle.

Staff!404 quickly summoned a dozen Dark Blasters and had fired it at the trio, who all dispersed, dodging the beams.

Salazar quickly flew close to Staff!404, appearing behind him in an instant. Salazar grabbed one of his Sapphire Chakrams and swung it at Staff!404, who then ducked under to dodge it. Staff!404 then sprouted bones from the ground that impaled Salazar in the arm and chest.

"tch.. you damn pest!" he exclaimed. Salazar became Intangible, essentially becoming a ghost and was free from the bone's grasp. Staff!404 got enough distance away from the two, however he saw a wisp fly past his head, barely missing the wisp as it exploded. the explosion was about he size of the whole mansion, which was large itself. Staff!404 turned only to see havoc staring back at him.

"so that's why you seemed familiar" Staff!404 said

Staff!404 clenched his fist as he stared at the masked 404, Havoc.

"your a type of infected, aren't you." staff!404 said. Havoc remained silent, but nodded his head. Staff!404 in his anger charged right in for a hit, but the area Staff!404 was aiming for was covered in stone. Salazar and Regal, watched in amusement

"lets let him handle this. I want to see him fall before Havoc" Salazar said Regal seemed annoyed by the statement

"how boring, id rather I take him out. fine" he said

Staff!404 stood back from Havoc, who sent wisps towards him. The wisps whispered and screamed as they too fired bones, spears, and even tridents towards staff!404 before getting near and exploding. Staff!404 barely dodged the attacks, the pressure was getting to him.

"..pitiful.." Havoc said, using his telepathy to put his thoughts into everyone's mind. Havoc sped forward, darting towards Staff!404 and had impaled him in the rib-cage. Wisps sprouted from the blade and gave a massive explosion of which Havoc protected himself with his indestructible stone.

Staff!404 laid there on the ground, dead. The three 404's moved onward as Staff!404's body disappeared. As the three fusions walked away. Unannounced to them, Staff!404's body had disappeared entirely. Suddenly a large beam fired and hit all three, knocking them towards a tree. Staff!404 had been resurrected and stood strong. The fusions looked on in annoyance of the failure of his death.

"he let us kill him, just so he could get the upper hand, smart. we underestimated this 404" Salazar said. Regal looked in confusion

"HOW IS HE ALIVE?! HAVOC KILLED HIM!" he exclaimed and once again he was hit on the skull by Salazar.

"did you honestly forget our mission here? its tied to what makes this place so special. Its the Cores that are behind it." Salazar said "we could overpower him, Havoc you take front, ill get the back. Regal..don't be retarded this time."

The three 404's moved fast, each one taking their respective sides to attack Staff!404. As the three closed in Staff!404 knew what he had to do

Salazar, Havoc, and Regal all closed in on Staff!404, and as they were about to attack, the Mainframe within 404's room reacted to his distress and flew out of the room.

"this is the end for you!" Regal announced, just as the mainframe came straight to 404, enveloping him in a cocoon, protecting him from every attack the three had done.

"what the-"

"this is something new, never have i seen a 404 who takes the butterfly more literal" Salazar said

"WHATEVER! LETS KILL THIS FAGS WORLD, AND FRIENDS, LETS TAKE THE DAMN CORE! THIS IS TAKING SO FUCKING LONG!" Regal shouted. Staff!404's eyes opened within the cocoon, the eye-lights illuminating the inside of the cocoon, showing through the darkness and blue veins. Suddenly the cocoon busted open, sending everyone flying back with a huge shock wave.

As the dust settled, the Trio of fusions saw what looked to be staff!404, floating not high above the ground. Staff!BUTTERFLY looked towards the trio, his expression showing his rage towards the threat of his family and friends. Staff!Butterfly blitzed towards the three, as Salazar and Havoc too, entered their respective Transformations, only to then be reverted back

"how is this possible?" Salazar questioned.

"WHAT THE HELL! WHERES MY BUTTERFLY!" Regal shouted, Salazar and Havoc looked to Regal, with an annoyed expression they knew he didn't have one.

"..its staff.." Havoc said. The three 404's looked to Staff!Butterfly. they could see Reality warping and distorting around him. Suddenly Staff!404 punched Havoc all the way into deep space, while Regal ran away. Salazar stood to fight, firing a ray from his finger tips, which didn't come near Staff!B404 at all, instead it fired back at Salazar who then dodged it.

The cores in Staffverse all lit up like a Christmas tree. Regal noticed he was right by one, the Reality core, which was under the dirt by a nearby tree within the park, and dug it up himself. After he finished digging he picked it up and called for the other fusions, who then teleported to his area.

"We have what we need. lets get out of here" Salazar suggested. Regal and Havoc nodded and opened up a portal to their own Eden Orb.

"I'd say it was a pleasure, but I'd be lying." Regal said as he snickered as he entered the portal with the Reality Core.

As Havoc went through the portal he had sent a wisp directly towards Staff!Butterfly, who was then blown out of the air by it, so close from the portal

"NO!" he screamed as he got up and flew towards them only for the portal to close, and the Reality core to be lost..

The reality around them collapsed due to the Reality core no longer being within Staffverse.

Staff!butterfly, along with the rest of the inhabitants rested. some questioned what happened, some went off to explore, and some just didn't know what to do.

"what's going on?! what did you do this time Will?!" frisk exclaimed, Chara was trying to calm him down.

"i didn't do anything, UGH ITS JUST LIKE THE FELLS!" B!404 shouted. Chara rushed to B!404 and put his hand on 404's shoulder.

"its okay babe, i know we can get it back." Chara assured, 404 looked to the ground and thought.

"we can" he said as he flew off to the other side of the planet. Chara looked up with a worried expression as he called out to his husband

"WILLIAM!!" he screamed

B!404 landed on the opposite side of the planet he is on. he closed his eyes and breathed, he could feel the power of the Core's running through the mainframe code that inhabited him.

"If others keep coming for me, my friends, my family.. ill have to bring in people of my own." He said to himself

B!404 with all of his strength put his hands forward, what he saw was extortionary. Millions and billions of other stories, all containing other Alphatales. Staff!404 knew that he had to find someone strong, someone who could help him, as he then cycled through many of these Stories

"we have what we need. lets get out of here" Salazar suggested. Regal and Havoc nodded and opened up a portal to their own Eden Orb.

###### ======================================================================================================================

A gentle breeze flows over a field of golden wheat, as June Bugs flutter and birds chirp. A nicely built house in the distance stares off into the much farther dazzling ocean.

The sun's rays peered through the windows, reflecting off the white walls as a familiar face swings open the door and gently steps on to the slick floor boards.

They placed a pail of milk on the nearby table. To which they then gently stretched before they looked around.

"William?" Chara called out, their voice reaching into every nook and cranny of their cozy farm home.

A short yawn was given in response as William stepped into the kitchen. His overalls wrinkled, as he gave a soft wave. Before walking up to Chara and planting a kiss onto the latter's left cheek.

"Seems you're having an easy time with the cows this year?" William said, peering at the milk filled pail.

He suddenly was caught off guard as Chara snorted with laughter.

"HEY W-WHATS SO FUNNY?!" He groaned as the tsundere within overtook him for a brief moment.

"Nothing really, it's just- you've changed a lot Will" Chara said reassuring William.

William didn't say anything as he stood silently staring at his left arm from his peripheral.

Chara seemed to notice William’s sudden distress and placed their hands on William’s shoulders, "William...you'd never lie to me right? O-or keep things from me?" They hesidly asked in a serious tone.

William suddenly felt his cerebrum jolt, as he thought back on his actions.

The day...that thing took everything from him. If he was being honest, it also might've been the greatest day of his life. The world in the palm of his hand, how many lives could he ruin? How many deaths could he cause? He could in all senses stand as the One True God.

The darkest reaches of his self contained insanity begs him to unleash it, like a mad dog. At times he ponders one of his brother's actions...Jacob, otherwise known as that thing- Infected. He was envious at times. Could killing truly be \*that\* fun?

He's done enough right?

He's saved and protected enough to fill a person's entire lifetime, right?

So then people wouldn't mind if he decided to-

He felt his sins slither up his crooked spine, a soft grin grew across his face as he closed his eyes and tilted his head at Chara.

"Come on- me? Lie? To the love of my life? How could I?" He said as he grabbed Chara by the chin.

The two shared a long and intimate kiss. It was as if the universe stopped for them. It took the smell of smoke to break the two apart.

"NOT AGAIN!!!!" William said in frustration as he made a straight shot for the oven and swung it open. To his horror, it seems he had ruined another batch of cookies.

Chara giggled before deciding to tend to the animals, but before they left they looked back towards William.

"You're gonna make a great mom" Chara said with a smile as they closed the door behind them.

William stood looking at that door with a humongous amount of blush over his face. He snapped out of it and took a seat on a nearby chair. To which he simply stared up towards the ceiling, his sockets growing heavy.

"Nora...would be a great name" he said before falling into a deep sleep.

The Unisphere around Alphatale churns and seems to slightly fade. . .

Somewhere else…

The shine of the Multiverse was still so bright even when contained in a world of rot and filth. The many peculiar deep blue eyes of a strange entity swivel and bulge as they scanned and stared into the countless worlds built upon a hill of dung.

"Searching. . . ."

So many places swathed in death and bitter defilement, but somehow this rechid Multiverse contained a being to which was of dire importance to this entity's mission.

"Target confirmed. . . ?"

The entity moved upon three bony protrusions as if they were legs. It maneuvered through the inbetweens as it finally came across Alphatale.

It reached out about to enter when suddenly a blip on the radar caught its ever so purely logical attention.

"So buddy, mind tellin' me where are ya comin' from bruh?" A figure resembling a  sans with a particulate crown called out to it.

**Back Within Alphatale…**

A loud explosion in the far distance jolts William awake as an odd pool of blood seems to have formed beneath him during his slumber.

William touches his right eye for a moment before he reels it back a second later, seeing his fingers coated in blood.

Almost as if on que, Chara comes rushing into the house, nearly smashing the door into pieces.

"What was that?!" They yelled in a panicked voice.

"Hey, do you know where my jacket's are?" William asked as he stood up.

Chara quickly rushed to find them, before returning and watching as William quickly slipped into them.

"Always having me get your jackets huh?" Chara said with a soft smile.

A steep silence grew quickly between the married couple.

"Hey...don't leave the house until I get back? And if I don't get back-" He was cut off suddenly as Chara kissed him.

"You'll definitely be coming back" they said softly as they watched William leave with a grin on his face.

Currently within a City on The Surface

The Sans that wore a crown softly wipes some blood off from his mouth as he holds up a piece of rubble from toppling on a human and monster family.

Seems he had been thrown into Alphatale like a living javelin. The families quickly got out from under the debris and a good distance away.

The entity, which moved on three legs, slowly approached, as it watched the sans launch the same solid slab of debris towards it.

The entity was unphased as it shattered the debris with a simple flick.

"Hey, I think we got off on the wrong foot, names KOB. The amazingly \*epic\* acronym stands for King Of Bruhs" he said as he then proceeded to dab.

The surrounding panicked people all stopped to visibly cringe at what they just witnessed.

"What? Isn't that what the kids are into nowadays? Sheesh...I'm gettin' too old for dis" he said before bringing his attention back to the entity.

The entity pointed at KOB for several seconds as a robotic voice soon came into being.

"KOB inferior. Cyberware superior." It stated as it would beat its fist against its ribcage.

Cyberware  would suddenly be hit with a single bone, which made its head shake, like a bobble head.

"Oop- sorry were you saying somethin? Couldn't hear ya over the awkward silence at my previous attempt at comedy" KOB would say with a shit eating grin

Cyberware would without a moment's hesitation bum rush KOB with insane speed, attempting to cleave KOB's head off with its claws.

As the claws were centimeters away from KOB's neck, time would suddenly come to a standstill, freezing everything in place except for KOB.

"Hmm...densely populated and enclosed" KOB mumbled as he looked at his surroundings.

"Guess blasters are a no go…" KOB murmured as time immediately began moving again.

He'd duck under Cyberware’s swipe before leaf hopping over them and pushing off of their back before using the momentum to launch off into the air.

Cyberware's eyes all rotated to stare at KOB, who'd use gravity magic to drag Cyberware off the ground and into the air.

"Hey, has anyone ever told ya' that you look like a disabled crab?" KOB grinned.

As soon as KOB finished speaking, Cyberware was impacted by some unknown force and smashed across several roofs.

Cyberware quickly dug its claws into the concrete tiles of a roof it landed on to stop itself from going any further. KOB landed on a nearby roof and waved his hand towards the sky. Billions of bones manifested above him and came crashing down upon Cyberware. Who created a gigantic arm from its back and used it to smash all the incoming bones to pieces.

Cyberware then grew several more arms as energy formed at the tip of each finger. All at once they were fired off, each beam nearly hitting KOB.

KOB would dodge and duck behind air vents and other objects on nearby roofs. Anything the beams hit would decay and turn to dust.

Cyberware would suddenly skitter down the side of the roof before jumping off into the streets below. KOB would peak his head out from cover to make sure the coast was clear before jolting at the sound of screaming. He'd run to the edge of the roof and see Cyberware begin to absorb the people below.

KOB would quickly teleport down and send a wall of bones slamming into Cyberware which sent them flying to someone's car.

"Pointless." Cyberware exclaims, seeming to have taken no damage during the two's entire battle.

Several arms once again sprout from Cyberware's body as it lifts an entire building before sending it barreling towards him.

*(There's people inside- and if I don't catch it the people out here could die-)* KOB thought as several beads of sweat trickled down his skull.

KOB would use gravity magic  to suspend the building in the air fairly easily as Cyberware slowly approached. It's sharp claws bound to draw blood of the purest red.

Without a moment's hesitation Kob would suddenly pull his arm inward causing the building to smash into Cyberware, sending the entity toppling over its three legs.

"Bruh moment" Kob would mumble as time once again came to a standstill to which he teleported into the building and saved as many as he possibly could.

Kob would slide out of a window using magic to carry around fifty people who quickly followed behind him as time once again began to move.

He'd look back towards the building which most definitely to his knowledge buried Cyberware in debris.

KOB would hear a painful shriek as Cyberware was standing behind him holding a monster hostage.

"How-...ah right teleportation. Let am go and I'll make this easy for ya" Kob beamed.

Cyberware's eyes would all rotate to stare at the captives it held tightly. It's claws digging into their captives' bodies, causing slow hp loss.

"Resist. Then. Die." Cyberware said with a cold tone.

KOB clenched his fist, how many lives were lost during this scuffle?

People's homes ruined?

Maybe he took this fight too casually.

He put his hands in the air and stared at Cyberware with a serious expression.

(*Look where I ended up now, letting this thing play with the lives of others…)* KOB would think to himself as he felt a sharp pain envelop his chest.

Cyberware had grafted a sharp bone from its body and shot it through KOB's chest.

KOB would cough up blood as a hole lay in his chest, his soul just barely hanging on. As he quickly watched Cyberware absorb the poor monster it had been using as leverage.

"Ready. For. Disintegration." Cyberware reverberated with a robotic voice filled entirely with malice. It slowly approached KOB, wanting to drag out the amount of pain it was going to inflict.

"Just get it over with, bruhs like you don't scare me." KOB said sternly as he spat blood into Cyberwares face.

Cyberware would suddenly turn its head a full 360 degrees.

"Target detected. Mission nearly complete." It said ignoring KOB and staring far off in the distance.

William suddenly appeared behind Cyberware, grabbing the entity by the neck and holding it in the air.

"What are you supposed to be- actually forget I asked. You won't exist for much longer" Wiliam mumbled before several blasters appeared and aimed at Cyberware.

In the blink of an eye  they all fired at Cyberware which left them as a completely blackened corpse. One of Cyberware's eyes was missing, William looked towards a civilian as a deep blue ball appeared to be squeezing in to the poor souls mouth.

The loud stretch of veins within the person's jaws were ear piercing as within the next couple seconds they made a popping noise. The person fell over limp, before twitching violently. Several giant pimple-like formations appeared around the victims head. A blue energy boiling just beneath before popping with pus and other fluids.

The following seconds after were violent to say the least. Sharp bone like protrusions would jut out of the body, molding into a new visage. By the time the process was over anything that was left of the original person was a bloody patch of skin on the ground.

Several seconds later the many distinct blue eyes rolled into place.

"Target. . . .404" it screeched as it bore a new reconstructed bloodied visage.

"Sorry but I don't really go by that name anymore" William stared.

KOB would do his best to get on his feet, wanting to help even with the injury he sustained. William suddenly looked at him with a curious and repulsive expression.

".....Who in the fuck are you?" He said almost insulted at the other being in Alphatale.

Cyberware fired a beam at William which he dodged very easily. The beam had hit a car and turned it into particles of code, which would drift back into Cyberware.

"Ah, so that's it huh? Funny." William said giving an unimpressed expression as he held out his hand and pulled inward.

Cyberwares very body felt as if it was being emptied as the entirety of its coding was forced out and into William's hand before being formed into a blue sphere.

In order to avoid death, Cyberware gouged one of its eyes out and threw it a decent bit away. The main body began to shrivel and by the end of it the body looked like a flaky raisin.

The blue eye hovered in the air and glowed brightly.

"Mission Incomplete. Objective. . . retreat" it spoke before disappearing.

William would stare at the pure mass of coding he had stripped from whatever that thing was.

"All that mainframe coding is quite beautiful...now what should I do with you? Could always use a new test subject…" he said quickly turning his attention to KOB who was heavily damaged.

Suddenly the two felt a strange presence as a door appeared ahead of them. The door swung open as a vortex sucked the two in. Within seconds before disappearing as quickly as it had appeared.
