Hear My Name part 2

Chara woke up on the beautiful morning next to his loving husband. William was still asleep as Chara kissed his head and hopped out of bed. Nora was also asleep in a mini room within the finite pocket dimension.

Chara walked over to a stove within the room and began to make breakfast all while William began to wake up.

Chara looked over to William with a smile. “Hello babe! Good morning.” Chara giggled as William slinked out of bed. Chara looked at him weirdly but thought it was nothing.

“You’re so silly sometimes” Chara said, turning back to their eggs and toast. Chara put the breakfast on plates as he made his way to Will.

“Here you go! Eat up! I’ll bring this to Nora too” Chara exclaimed as he then went to Nora’s room within the room.

“Nora hunny, here’s your breakfast.” Chara knocked as he walked in. Nora sat up rubbing her eyes as Chara gave her the plate. “Enjoy it!” He smiled walking out.

As Chara walked out he didn’t see William anywhere as if he just vanished without a trace. Chara looked puzzled and walked towards the plate of eggs and toast on the nightstand.

Chara’s eyes widened as the eggs and toast resembled something…disfigured something like.

ME.

Meanwhile, William awoke in the large black abyss. His heart was pounding as he was almost submerged in a dark liquid. It seemed almost alive. William quickly scrambled about, trying to get out. He saw in the distance a white light, he figured that was his home.

William began to swim towards the light…until someone came. Faker.

“How pathetic you are, Staff.” Faker said, his disfigured head smiling. William kept swimming, he kept going as he didn’t wish to be food to this….thing.

“No point in running! STAFF!!” Faker said as arms came from the liquid, trying to drown him down.

“Loading! Please we need to get out of here!” William thought in a panic, loading thought of a solution.

“I could boost your power to that of butterfly, making you faster than ever in your base.” Loading said as William nodded, loading boosted William.

Faker appeared in front of William who quickly swam around. He could see it, the bright white getting closer and closer.

“Oh I do enjoy these games.” Faker said as he rushed towards William faster than he ever could. William was almost there though, so close! And as Faker was just about to grab him he escaped.

William found himself within his room, Chara and Nora missing. William huffed and puffed as he breathed heavily.

“That was close.” William said as he looked around. “…where’s Chara…CHARA!!” William shouted, running out of the room. He ran to the lounge where he found everyone. They were all fine just scared out of their minds.

“I don’t want to die…” Axel said, clinging to Lapis and Alpha.

“Are you the real Will?” Adam asked to which Loading responded.

“Of course.” He said as everyone sighed.

“But so am I.” Faker said as the building was wiped away. They looked up into the sky to see Faker, he was bigger than the universe…no the multiverse. If you were anywhere within the Gardens you’d be able to see this monster from anywhere you looked.

“Gather the cores!” Loading demanded as the cores suddenly flew towards them. “Now absorb them!” Loading said as 404 began to absorb all of them, reality, space, time…but before he could get to the rooms, undying, and files core, Faker destroyed them with just a glare.

“No more. No more deus ex machina’s to save you.” Faker said as everyone’s eyes widened.

Faker formed back into the universe with a wicked smile. He stared directly into Alpha’s eyes. “Hehe. Boo.” Faker said, completely annihilating Alpha From existence entirely as he did so long ago.

“DAD!!!” Axel and Tina screamed. 901 held her hands to her mouth in horror.

“Oh I’ve been waiting for this.” Faker said as Astral whistled. 100 sprang into action, his anger rising immensely. Faker smiled, unmoving at the raging beast.

“I underestimated you once. I will not again.” Faker said as he stopped 100 in space time. Faker grasped 100 and crushed him into atoms with a whine as he slowly fell into nothingness.

“NOO!!” Astral shouted as Faker laughed hysterically.

“Pathetic. ALL OF YOU!!” Faker said as the world suddenly grew into darkness. Faker grinned maliciously as Omni looked slightly worried.

“We won’t let you take over.” Sage floated over, Righteous!Error following behind.

“Oh? Please boy, your father couldn’t even take me. You polothorns think your all special, don’t you?” Faker said as the entire Eden orb began to rumble due to the events that were about to unravel

Righteous!Error sighed as his body began to change and morph into something indescribable into something incomprehensible

“Unravel into infinity.” Myriad said, Sage looking directly at Faker with a glare.

“This should be fun.” Faker said as the world froze. Myriad, Sage and Faker were the only ones able to move.

Myriad quickly slithered towards Faker, faster than light as it coiled around his body, transporting Faker into its own little universe. In the universe it was meant to be an infinite death loop, although Faker easily broke through it.

“Impossible!” Myriad shouted as Sage came in. Sage summoned a large cosmic orb to come crashing down on Faker only for it to instantly be destroyed.

“Ah, how I’ve missed this” Faker said as he grinned. Sage then fired a beam from his many eyes only for them all to miss Faker by an inch.

“So who’s first?” Faker said, turning Myriad back to Error forcefully and slamming sage into the ground with enough force to damage him severely.

“SAGE!” Lisa shouted, worried

“ERROR!” Will shouted. He felt as if this was Alphatale all over again…but worse.

“We’re getting out of here. Now.” Omni said as he grabbed the book of eyes and opened it, but as everyone was just about to get sucked in, Faker grabbed mostly everyone aside from William and Fatal who glitched a bit away

“CHARA!! ERROR!! NORA!!” William cried out, tears falling down his face. Fatal looked in horror as he saw his mentor be taken by Faker

“We need to go now!” Loading shouted within William's mind as he couldn’t believe his eyes.

“RUN! GO! Get to Himmsworth!” Omni shouted as the book of eyes quickly drew 404 and fatal into the Transvoid, their last moments within their reality, seeing their friends, family, turn to nothing but atoms.

404 woke up in the Transvoid, his eye sockets full of tears that soaked the ground. He hoped it was all a dream but it wasn’t. William sat in the Transvoid’s library, he felt weak, he couldn’t move.

Fatal was no-where to be seen, most certainly going out to search for Himmsworth, 404 looked around to see if he could find any traces but nothing.

Loading spiraled out of 404, looking slightly sad, yet couldn’t feel a thing. “We must continue on. They are gone but your brother, Ares wished us to find Himmsworth.” Loading said as 404 looked at Loading.

“I…I just need a moment…” 404 sobbed, he flashbacked to that very moment of when he came out of his Au, defeated Infected and moved to the outerwall. It’s alphatale all over again.

404 sat there for at least 6 hours, silently crying to himself before bringing himself together although it seems Himmsworth had found him instead.

“I’m sorry for your loss.” Himmsworth said from behind. 404 whipped around to see the black cat. He wiped his tears as he kneeled down to Himmsworth.

“What do I do?” 404 asked, holding onto that last bit of hope.

“That’s up for you to decide.” Himmsworth said as 404 sighed. “Although there may be a solution to our problem.” He continued, catching 404’s interest.

“That being that could inhabit you, Malware, he’s here in the transvoid. The outer edges i’d imagine. Find him, convince him. You’ll know what to do.” Himmsworth said as 404 nodded.

“How do I get to him.” He asked as a large bird, Zermon, flew directly onto the library.

“Guess you just found out. Good luck.” Himmsworth said before running off. 404 looked up to Zermon who looked down to 404.

“Climb aboard. I’ll carry you to your destination.” Zermon said as 404 flew onto him. Zermon took off, flapping his wings as he began to fly towards the outer edges of the transvoid.

It took 4 years to travel to the outer edges. During that time 404 trained to the best of his ability, wanting to be ready for anything. They never made any significant stops, one or two to admire the beauty but 404’s eyes were deadset on his goal.

Malware was located on an omega planet, terrorizing the world as the decay of his slowly destroyed it. Zermon stopped as Malware chuckled

“Zermon! To what do I owe the pleasure? Come to die beneath my heels?” Malware said as 404 climbed atop Zermons head, being almost a spec in comparison.

“MALWARE!” 404 shouted, catching his attention.

“Is that who I think it is? Hehe didn’t think you survived.” Malware said as 404 starred, now with his cold expression he used to have so long ago.

“I’ve come to make a proposal.” 404 said as Malware tilted his head, a slight grin on his face.

“Talk.”

“Faker, he’s coming for all of us. Killing orbs off one by one, terrorizing Eden as a whole. He needs to be put down like a dog.” 404 said as Malware narrowed his eyes in interest yet disapproval.

“Do you believe that you and I have the power to take that thing down? You must be a fool William.” Malware said

“Do you wish to die?! To wait until he makes you a part of him?! Merge with me! We will find a way to take him down.” 404 said. Malware thought of it, 404 had made a good point yet his plan was…shit.

“What? Did you come here not wanting to be bound by dimensions? I have a greater chance of living if I were separated from you.” Malware reported as 404 scoffed.

“Right, because he totally won’t go searching the place he saw me go into. He’s coming and if he wishes to kill me he’ll take out the entire orb!” 404 exclaimed. Malware sighed as he did have a point.

“Say I did, where would we go? Eden isn’t safe, and your reality is gone, destroyed.” Malware said

“I have one more favor from someone, we’ll be safe there.” 404 said as Malware caved in.

“Fine, don’t get me killed. I hope you have a plan.” Malware said as 404 held out his hand.

“WAIT!!” Loading shouted although it was too late, 404 began to absorb malware’s cosmic essence into himself as he then merged with Malware. 404’s being began to morph into a cosmic like entity, being 404 in appearance yet something different.

“How is this-“ loading said in awe within 404’s mind.

“What shall I call this?” 404 said as runes of Eden surrounded his being. 404 gripped his hands. He smirked. “How about Nova!404” he said as his being shined brightly as if he were like a supernova.

“So what’s this grand plan of yours” malware said, forming within 404’s mind along with Loading.

“Next we meet an old acquaintance.” 404 said as he sat. “Isn’t that right…Prism?” He continued as he turned, Prism floated right behind him.

“What is it?” Prism asked.

“Do you remember a long time ago, you told me we could reach a deal if I worked under you?” 404 said, prism lost in thought but nodding to the question.

“I wish to make another deal.” 404 said, prism looked at him skeptical

“Go on.”

“I will work under you but…you have to train me.” 404 said as Prism stayed quiet, thinking on it

“Hmm. It’s a good offer. Fine. Although don’t expect me to hold your hand.” Prism said as he whisked away himself and 404 to his dimension.

Inside Prisms dimension many training objects were set up, Prism floated a bit away as 404 approached.

“I find it odd that you decide to come out of nowhere to ask. So what happened.” Prism asked as 404 stopped in his tracks.

“My world is gone, Faker took everything for me. I managed to escape when reality crumbled from his might.” 404 explained as Prism turned away.

“I see. Well, I cannot promise the power to defeat him but I can train you to the best of my ability.” Prism said as 404 powered up to Nova!404.

“Then let’s get it started!” He said as Prism suddenly stopped him. “Hey! What’s the big idea?!” Nova!404 said, powering down.

“Sometimes transformations just aren’t the solution. You cannot hope to defeat an enemy just using one. A prime example is Abaddon, the Dark!404. He trained relentlessly, his base power increasing every time, never used any transformations either.” Prism said as 404 looked confused

“But I-“

“You must remember, I won’t be holding your hand. You need to do exactly as I say. Work on your base power. Maybe when that’s finished I’ll reward you and we’ll work on transformations.” Prism said as 404 shrugged.

“Alright I guess.” He said as he went to the training objects. 404 spent hours on the objects, increasing his strength and finding new ways to use his abilities.

He made new ones using his god-ray, using the mainframe code made weapons and with the power of the cores made things from the fabric of reality and space time. He trained for hours on end, day after day.

Prism kept watch of 404’s training almost every day of every hour. After about a year or two of training in Prism dimension, Prism sent 404 on more dangerous missions around the Edensphere such as finding Alphatale.exe, and even Faker numerous times.

One day, before 404 was sent on another mission, Prims had pulled 404 aside. “What is it?” 404 asked to which Prism pulled out an unusual soul. It radiated some sort of energy from it, energy unlike 404’s ever felt.

“What is that?” 404 asked.

“A bio-conduit. One from long ago.” Prism answered as Malware couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

“Those were only a myth! To believe one actually exists…” he said in awe.

“Would prove useful in our journey.” Loading said as 404 looked to Prism.

“I’ll give you a choice. Take the easy way, gain the bio-conduit soul. Or take the hard way, work your way up to it.” Prism said as 404 was tempted by the soul, the power he could use to take down Faker. Although he hesitated.

“No, I’ll take the hard way.” He said as Loading and Malware’s jaw dropped within 404’s mind.

“WHATT!!!!” They both said in union, screaming at 404

“WHY THE HELL WOULDN'T YOU TAKE IT!” Loading shouted only for 404 to ignore him. Malware and Loading looked at each other, thinking the same thing.

“He’s fucking retarded.” Malware said within 404’s mind.

“Agreed.” Loading nodded as he watched from within.

“Your choice surprises me. Well then, so be it.” Prism said, putting the bio-conduit away. “Continue your training in base. There is still so much to learn.”

Prism disappeared from the dimension along with 404 as he went back onto his mission. It took many hours but he eventually finished it, the main goal was to find out Faker's plan. Although nothing had come up.

It was the main reason Prism had sent 404 on these types of missions, searching for what Faker’s true plan was. It wasn't like him to just destroy something so meaningless especially when he was inactive for a long while.

Eventually just two decades before the events of Hell!Seeker, 404 had began training on his transformations, Nova!404 did excellent during his training, using his cosmic essence in tandem with the mainframe and the few cores.

Prism was impressed by 404’s progress, although not by much. During this time, Prism had also taught 404 meditation which helped improve his calmness in battle.

404 stood at the training objects he used throughout his training. He transformed into Nova!404, his being morphing as he did so. Prism watched as he transported them to an empty Eden orb. Just by the presence of his transformation, Nova404 shook the very reality and beyond.

“How about we test your abilities to the max.” Prism said, many arms coming to his side. Nova!404 moved towards Prism faster than light as he swiftly dodged out of the way. Nova!404 threw punches and kicks at Prism, shockwaves and pops came from each one only to phase right through Prism.

Nova!404 stopped as Prism was just about to attack, jumping to the other side of reality within an instant. “Time to turn this up a notch!” Nova!404 said as he began to power up.

“LETS GO, LOADING!” Nova!404 said as holes formed within his hand, changing color every so often. He then grew cosmic butterfly wings as he darted towards Prism who stopped NovaButterfly!404 almost instantly.

“Hm, your resolve to grow stronger is great, but it isn’t enough.” Prism said as one of his hands grabbed NovaButterfly!404 and crashed him into the ground.

Prism instantly powered down 404 back to his base as he hopped away.

“Now let’s see those improvements.” He said as 404 instantly summoned hundreds of blasters infused with cosmic essence, firing them towards Prism who instantly made them vanish.

“You know you’d never lay a scratch on anyone like that.” Prism said as 404 fired beams from his hands that cut straight through the reality. Prism phased right through the beam, quickly appearing behind 404, teleporting them both back to Prism's dimension, throwing 404 to the floor.

“That didn’t take long.” 404 said, standing up. Prism floated over.

“It didn’t need to be long. Just a simple test to see how you’ve grown.” Prism said as he rested in front of 404.

“I’ve watched you grow, and soon enough I won’t be here to train you more. There are other things I must attend to, such as your classic self. So as a reward, take this.” Prism said as he held his hand out, the Bio-conduit appearing within

“Are you sure?” 404 said hesitantly as his eyes locked onto the soul.

“I'm sure, but if you don’t take it, you’ll never see it again.” Prism said. 404 looked at the soul.

“Take it, we won’t get another chance like this.” Loading said as Malware agreed. 404 grabbed the soul as he felt the very concept emanating from it. 404 absorbed the soul, as his resolve strengthened the bond.

The bio-conduit soul was absorbed by 404 who didn’t feel all too different although clearly something has changed. New power began to surge throughout 404’s very being within a fraction of a second, overwhelming him for a few moments before he got a grasp at it.

“You ok?” Prism asked as 404 nodded. “Good. I must assume you have questions.” Prism said as 404 got up once again.

“What is a bio-conduit?” 404 asked

“A bio-conduit is a type of conduit that was not made by the cycle. The one you currently possess was the first, and the last.” Prism answered, 404 slowly nodding his head along.

“So what kind of Bio-conduit is this?” 404 questioned

“Pre-eminence, it's the ability to be superior, allowing one to transcend in a way.” Prism responded.

“So how do I use it?”

“That’s for you to find out. This is something I cannot help you on exactly. I must leave you though. There are things I must attend to and I won’t be here for a long while. But I’ll leave you with a word of advice. To use conduit abilities, one must believe so, say for Will, as long as they have the Will to do something they could. The same could be said for you. So along as you feel superior, you’ll be able to do whatever it is you want.” Prism said as 404 nodded.

“Thank you, Prism. I hope you come back to see how well I’ve done.” 404 said as Prism slowly disappeared from the dimension.

“Looks like things are looking up.” Loading said within 404’s mind.

“Good thing he didn’t fuck it up that time too.” Malware said as Loading gave a slight chuckle.

“Whatever, hopefully with this we’ll finally be able to take down Faker.” 404 said as he got to work. He trained and he trained hard. Pushing himself to the limits. It took trial, effort and a lot of time but eventually he had gotten to the first stage.

Year after year he trained nonstop, it’s all he ever did now. It was like a routine. He trained with his bio-conduit, growing stronger each year, until the events of Hellseeker.
