Chapter 6: Child Troubles

404 had awoken from the sexual night he had endured. He looked to his husband, Chara who was sound asleep. 404 put his hand on Chara’s cheek as he kissed him.

404 got up from his bed, putting on his coat and pants as he left his room. He stood in front of a door with the symbol of a crown and as he opened the door, he was greeted to a white void with a set of stairs leading to a throne.

“King.” 404 spoke as he stared at the black and white crowned figure. The figure stood up as his galactic like cape flowed in the nonexistent wind of the void.

“404” King Multiverse replied as he stepped down the stairs only being a few steps short to the ground.

“What are you doing here” King asked

“I’ve come to give you a purpose again” 404 grinned. His eyes narrowed at King’s new look.

King scoffed at the words. “I don’t need shit from you. I am not your puppet anymore. You cannot command me as I am king.”

“I think the undying part of this world has fueled your ego, much more than usual. What is a king to a god?” 404 replied.

“you are only god because of that pool of code. Without that you are nothing. Weak. You are but a man playing god”

404 looked at Km with a cold expression, one that he has not used in a while.

“you are just a boy playing king. I created you. I can beat you if I so wish.”

“you pathetic old man. I may of lost our previous battles but this time it is different. We cannot die here and this is my room. I REIN SUPREME HERE! THIS ROOM IS NOW A WORLD I CAN CONTROL TO MY OWN ACCORD!” Km had instantly brought up the settings and changed the environment to a large kingdom no longer an empty void with a throne.

404 was trapped in a room that was slowly closing in on him, spikes on the walls surrounding him. In which he blasted out using a dark blaster. He stared at king in the dungeon like area. “you are a fool to challenge me Photonegative.”

“YOU ARE NO MATCH FOR ME, NOT ANYMORE!” King yelled as he summoned his chains of judgement though 404 used his blue mastery on king once more and slammed him to the ground.

404 summoned a dark blaster above king and held him down with blue mastery, king struggled to get out and the blaster fired, it had cracked his chest plate badly though not enough to see his soul.

Km stumbled back from the blast and looked at his chest shocked. “y-you cracked it (shit.. I gotta play safe now I can’t loose! NOT AGAIN!)” he thought.

“I’ll crack more than just that plate of yours.”  404 walked towards king multiverse. “you will kneel to me. You cannot win.”

“Let’s end this quickly” 404 said as he teleported behind king and kicked him to the ground. KM turned and 404 stomped on the chest plate and jumped out of the way of a blaster he fired at king.

The chest plate broke exposing the soul a sharp bone pointed to it. “Y-you wouldn’t dare! You need me!” King pleaded

“do I? You have not tried to cooperate with me. I almost see as if I have no use for you.” 404 said as he inched the bone closer to the soul.

“..I’ll do as you command..” km looked defeated as the chest plate healed back to the way it was.

“Good.” 404 said as the bone disappeared. “I’ll update you when I can.” 404 looked back at Km, his eye lights flickered. “And don’t even think about betraying me again. I’ll make sure you go through hell.” He said as he left.

Within 901’s room, she sat atop her bed as she finally thought it was the perfect time. “Malware” she spoke and on cue Malware!404 had flew in.

“Yesss?” He spoke as 901 turned to him.

“Go get Lily, you only get one chance. None after.” She demanded

Malware grinned “Alright, tell me where she is” he replied.

“She’s probably in Fatal’s room, the two are inseparable for some reason. Kill her and don’t disappoint me.”

Malware nodded as he flew out to Fatals room. Once Malware had spotted her he flew down, smashing Lily’s head into the ground and kicked Fatal away.

“Sorry kid, but your deadline is here” Malware said

Fatal stumbled back, regaining his balance. He summoned a blaster which began charging.

Malware looked at fatal and fired a blast that shot right through Fatal, who was severely damaged but he used his strings to wrap Malware’s wings.

“Nice try” Malware said as he used his wings and smashed Fatal to the floor as he then used his God Mastery to hold Lily freezing her in Time n Space.

Fatal, being desperate, summoned a bone from the floor and it had stabbed into malware’s rib-cage.

Malware then turned into a cosmic portal, swallowing it. “Nice gimmick huh?” He said as a hand came through and punched fatal away.

Malware chuckled at the attempts to stop him “ALLOW ME TO PREFORM TRUE DEATH UPON YOU! NO EDEN ORB! NO POWER WILL STOP ME FROM THIS” Tentacles and tendrils began to burst out his back as his body began to deform and misshapen itself. The figure was large, shapes...so many shapes it was unrecognizable. It was so big and yet it fit perfectly in the room

“THIS IS WHAT G O D LOOKS LIKE! NOW PREPARE TO BE SLAVES TO YOUR NEW NIGHTMARES!!!”

As fatal tried to rip malware’s grasp off of Lily Malware had sent hundreds of tentacles which grabbed Lily and sank her into his ever expanding body.

As fatal tried anything to get Lily out malware scoffed at the actions

“Don't even try, the endless mass of my being goes too far and deep to be recognized, the best you can do is suffer in enteral silence as the cosmic essence and unnamable creatures swallow or do worse to your poor child” Malware then began to make it's way back to 901's room

Fatal slammed his fists into the ground, screaming at the top of his lungs what sounded like “No”. As Faker’s head popped out of the darkness.

“Well aren’t we looking desperate. Looking to rewrite your sins?” Faker said.

Fatal looked at him as he summoned a blaster

“Oh ho not so fast, I can offer you your child back”

Fatal looked desperate as he made his blaster disappear.

“Yesss, you see this place is ever growing and it just so happens that a possible Book of eyes may linger here, pledge yourself to me and I will help you get dear sweet lily back” Faker grinned widely as with no hesitation Fatal agreed.

“Perfect, now then steal the book of eyes and we can begin the first part” Faker said as he disappeared.

Within 901’s room Malware had come in completely normal once more.

“The child is no more.” Malware said.

901’s hands balled up into a fist, she shook at the thought of breeding with him, she wondered how Alpha would feel.

“Surprising i know, however don't fret, I saw your affection for that boy and I'm willing to compromise with you” Malware said

“..if you failed I still would have given you something to breed, someone who would willingly do it over and over again with you if you just dont get in the way of there work. But what is your compromise?” 901 asked

“No, go ahead and tell me of this other person you mentioned”

“Her name is Lisa Sale. She got here a day ago. Shes very smart,and not only that very good looking. If I have to say myself,she looks better than me. She wouldn't mind breeding as long as you don't bother her about her work. Not to mention shes very powerful.”

“Hmm alright then I’ll talk to her about it where may she be?” Malware asked

“She might be in the basement, that’s where she set up her little science lab.” 901 replied. Malware instantly flew out of the room into the basement.

“Hey there” Malware said as he saw Lisa in a chair at her desk.

Lisa turned to Malware and stood up. “And who are you?” She asked

“I'm Malware, this appearance isn't my own however I am here in terms to breed, you see my actual future self has met an untimely end and I wish to change that. I asked your mate 901 if they were interested in carrying my spawn, but she has...other skeletons in her closet so I now come to you.”

Lisa stared at Malware. “to breed? Hm. I'll only do so if you don't get in the way of my work. And when you wanna breed me at least ask if I'm in the middle of doing something.”

“Aha, you truly are perfect then. Well are you busy now? It takes months to produce a normal child of the Transvoid, the spawn of one of my own be a tad different.” Malware explained.

“now?” she rolled her eyes “fine then. But not here. This is my work space.”

“Don't bother, with my power i can impregnate you without a second thought, a little trick from Sol, Ready?” Malware said as Lisa sat back down in her chair.

“Yes, let’s just hurry this up.” She said

Malware simply stared at her womb and like that it was finished “There your now 3 weeks in, I'LL be checking on you, report to me if any weirdness happens. This should be interesting” he left in a chuckle, already Lisa could feel tendrils inside her wrap around her ribs and heart as the fetus clinging tightly to its mother.

Over the course of a few hours Lisa's womb and belly expanded as the fetus got larger growing to a slightly larger size, she looked like she was 4 months along now. the infant began to grip tighter to the insides of it's mother as it sucked whatever nutrients she had in her and then began to feed off of the thought of food and past sensations she had felt from eating them in the past.

Over in Omni’s room, Fatal had walked in seeing the book of eyes laying on a pedestal.

Fatal saw it, using his strings to grapple the book to him. He wasn’t going to let the last of his family die. As the book radiated an odd aura he smashed the lights within the room in hopes of summoning Faker, who did appear from the darkness.

“You rang?” He said as he then saw Fatal hold up the Book of eyes.

“Ah yes perfect.” Faker said grabbing the book from Fatal. He swallowed it and had transformed the book into the Book of Minds. Faker spat it out and handed it to Fatal.

“With this we can now enter what should be a perfect TransVoid, the NeoVoid. However we would need a being to open the the book.” Faker said. Fatal looked to Faker confused

“I sense a God that had yet to be born, go and find it once it is out and have it open the book, however don't harm interact with it directly, beings are masters of manipulation” Faker demanded.

Faker nodded and left as he waited for the right time.

Hours later in the basement, Lisa was looking at her multiple test tubes full of chemicals as suddenly the infant began to kick showing it was awake yet again, the side effects began to make some things rust near Lisa.

Lisa had sat down, feeling her stomach as she watched the the metal near her turned rusty.

The infant began to kick more and squirm as it tried to find a new position to dream in

“(It’s okay little one, do as much as you like to feel comfortable)” she thought

The infant found a comfortable spot and began to dream, its dreams sending a stream of dopamine to Lisa.

Lisa sighed as she then heard the door open and footsteps coming from the stairs.

“Lisa..” said the person as they stood behind the chair. Lisa turned around looking into the eyes of the other skeleton into the room, Alex rider. She was Lisa's successor, Lisa wanted Alex to be the new her when she is gone. Alex learned many things from Lisa, many could almost say she treats Alex like a daughter she never had. They known each other for years.

“How have you been? I haven’t seen you in quite awhile.” Lisa asked. Alex looked to the side

“I’ve been fine” she replied. Lisa noticed something off with her.

“You’ve been experimenting on yourself again haven’t you? How many times have I told you to stop. You’ll get yourself hurt, or worse, killed.” Lisa warned as she turned back in her chair.

“There’s something you can do for me since your here, go get me some red mushrooms now.” Lisa demanded.

“Alright.” Alex agreed as she left off.

As soon as Alex had left the baby woke up and began to squirm and kick again. She grabbed the table for support.

“Malware!” She yelled and as soon as the words left her mouth, malware had suddenly teleported in.

“You called?” He spoke, his wings flapping.

“How long is this going to take! It’s interrupting my work” Lisa exclaimed.

“ I don't know, you could be done today or you could keep getting bigger until you turn into a giant air balloon. But i doubt the ladder will happen.” he walked over to her and began to feel her stomach

the infant moved and kicked some more showing an excitement to having both it's parents near by, them both hearing a high pitched squeal in their minds as the child tried communicating with them.

As Lisa’s stomach expanded once more, she fell to the ground as she was now 9 months in, and the baby was ready.

“Perfect.” Malware said as he laid Lisa down. As she laid down, she tried pushing out the infant, the process of child birth was painful, making Lisa scream at the top of her lungs. After 4 minutes of pushing the head had popped out, blood ran down Lisa’s leg and on the ground.

the infant's body then began to become visible as Malware then put his hands underneath her crouch to catch it as the infant was now fully born with the thing connecting the mother and child being a tentacle which Malware quickly severed. “here” Malware placed the infant on Lisa's body so it could grow familiar with her.

She looked at the infant she had just birthed. “...hmm” Malware stared at it curiously, the baby was skeletal and had small horns and yellow eyes similar to a goat “I'll leave you to it, and don't worry about naming it, I already have one for it.. Sage.” Malware said.

“I-it’s a good name for him.” Lisa replied

“Indeed take good care of him. I’ll be watching.” Malware said as he flew off.

Sage sneezed while holding onto Lisa, trying to open its eyes.

“You can do it love.” She said. Slowly Sage began to open his eyes and made eye contact with Lisa. Once a few seconds had pat he teleported onto the floor and started to eat the concrete. Lisa got up barely able to walk, however, stood tall. She grabbed Sage.

“You’re hungry aren’t you. Well I’ll give you something that isn’t my floor” she said as she took Sage to the kitchen.

Within Fatal's room, the darkness grew as faker had popped out of it once more.

“It has been birthed.. find it I sense it may be in the kitchen” Faker said, startling Fatal. He nodded and ran there with the book of minds.

When Fatal arrived he looked to see Lisa and Sage. Lisa was standing over the counter while Sage sat atop the kitchen table, it had suddenly summoned a shark onto the table of which it began to eat it alive. Fatal walked over to the infant and placed the book beside it.

Sage had sensed the energy of the Book of Minds however, he went straight back to eating the shark. Sage then grew a tentacle from his chest and ripped off the shark's head as he then opened his to the size of a small tub with his jaw breaking and extending as it began to devour the head with small hands coming out of his mouth picking it apart and tearing it up.

Fatal nearly stumbled backwards from being so disturbed, he sighed. He waited till he was done with his food, and placed the book back. He then, with great care, carefully took his hand and moved it to the book.

Sage finished devouring it and then looked at the book and simply opened it, he then looked to Fatal confused. “(Finally)” Fatal thought, until Sage closed the book again. Fatal stared blankly, and facepalmed his skull. Sage then began to open and close the book as Omni had walked in.

Fatal waited until the book was open then took the Book of Minds and patted Sage. Sage tried smiling as the meat from the shark fell him his mouth and onto his clothes.

“what’s going on in here? (I could have sworn i sensed some Eldritch energy)” Omni thought as his gaze met Fatal's. Fatal looked at Omni and immediately teleported away with the Book of Minds in hand and open.

“Weird..” Omni said.

Fatal had appeared within his room and on cue Faker had appeared

“Excellent! NOW with this we can summon the true nightmares of this realm!...and get your child back” Faker said, his grin ever so wide.

Fatal's eyes narrowed, he hesitated with handing over the book.

“GIVE IT TO ME! Or would you rather poor little Lily forever lie dormant in a world that you will never reach!?” Faker threatened. Fatal’s posture straightened, gripping the book. He reluctantly handed over the book..

“Yes good, I'll summon you when its time” faker said as he hid within the shadows, disappearing.

Soon Omni had walked into his room, and saw it. The Book of Eyes was gone

“DAMNIT...Someone's been in my room, need to track whoever stole it down (was it one of the 404s, no why would they want it, maybe Ja-...no he's better now. Maybe...yes of course)” he spoke. He turned and left the room.

In Fatal’s room he sat on his bed he felt stressed, wanting to get to Lily as soon as possible. Soon he had heard a knock at the door. He used his strings to open it and there stood Quenya.

“Hello glitched monster from the void, I’ve come here because I believe we can help each other.” She said as she walked in, the door closing behind her.
