Hear My Name Part one

Decades into the future of Staffverse, everything was normal, At peace. Nora and Sam were all grown up, ready for college as William, Chara and Jacob watched their children go to college even if they were a little older than normal. and as for sage? In transvoid terms he was still young, being around his Mother, Lisa, more than wanting to see his father.

William had gone back to the way he was. There was no reason to be 404 if there were no immediate threats. However, this didn’t stop him from training. Due to him having a deal with Loading he took up a trivial task, absorbing the entire mainframe into him.

His training was difficult to say the least, Loading was a harsh mentor yet knew the difficulties. The most William was capable of was making constructs from the mainframe itself, being able to make anything his imagination wished.

Jacob often sat in his room, calling Sam about her day. He worried for her, as a father would. Astral would make sure to check up Nora, her favorite grandchild.

Adam and 901/Lapis had the youngest of the kids, their first child being a miscarriage the. Having two more, a girl, around 15 years old, and a young boy around 7. Although the firstborn's death haunted them they promised they would continue on together.

Error was out on his own within the multiverse that was known as the Gardens. William hadn’t seen him in years, not since the incident.

Asgore had passed away during a battle between him and Osiris which cost both of their lives in the process. They had set up a memorial for Asgore for saving their lives.

Nightmare was off planet, no one knows where he had gone. Bill!sans was killed not too long after Nightmares disappearance decades prior, he attempted to take over yet was taken down easily.

Everything leading up to this point seemed…fulfilling. Like the best possible ending.

William looked out into the horizon of the rising sun. The morning air felt fresh upon his skeletal body, feeling the wind blow threw his bones. Chara walked out beside him, wrapping his arms around William with a smile.

“So, my love.” Chara said, planting a kiss on Williams cheek. “What are you doing out here?” He asked.

“Reflecting.” William answered, gazing as the blinding bright light.

“How goes the training with Loading?” Chara asked, William sighing at just the mention of it.

“Tiring, but I suppose it’s good.” William answered as he called the mainframe right to him, absorbing all of it within him as reality shook intensely as it finally stopped, the mainframe code resting within Williams body.

Chara put his hands on Williams' shoulder. “I’m so proud of you babe.” Chara said with a smile. William looked to Chara with a gentle stare. The two shared a soft kiss as they walked back inside the mansion. As the two walked to their room, William looked over to Errors' empty room. A saddened expression upon his face. Chara took notice and turned to him

“You miss him, don’t you?” Chara asked, holding Williams face.

“More than you know.”

The mansion was quieter than usual, and more and more people were out of the house. Nora, and Sam were at college, Lily was out in the world making a name for herself, awaiting for her father figure to come home. Fatal was off in the transvoid with Omni, although at this point Fatal was Omni’s successor but still preferred Omni to be with him.

King was out being himself in the multiverse, being a proper king of which he took many notes from Asgore. Flora was nowhere to be seen. Lisa kept to herself in the basement with all of her experiments, Sage by her side helping. At most it was just William, Chara, 901 and Adam.

The two couples were the only ones to really settle down, everything they could ever want with them. Frisk was off on adventures, occasionally coming back to hang out with Chara and see his niece.

As William and Chara relaxed on their bed Loading phased right through the bed, staring at Will.

“How come you’re not training.” Loading said, in a more robotic tone then usual.

“Taking a break, think I’ve deserved it” William replied as Loading narrowed his eyes.

“It’s good to take breaks every once in a while, ya’know.” Chara chimed in as Loading rolled his pupil.

“Sounds like a waste to me.” Loading said as William looked at Loading annoyed.

“Nothing’s happened for eight years! I think it’s about time I relaxed, don't you think?” William exclaimed as Loading crossed his arms.

“And what if that serpent below reforms? Or what if those twins come back? What are you going to do? Hm?” Loading said, slight aggression in his voice.

“I’ll do what I always do.” Will retorted as Loading scoffed.

“Why do I bother? You have an hour.” Loading said as he phased right through the wall dipping into the empty pit where the mainframe used to be.

“He’s being more lenient than usual. What’s the occasion?” Chara said as William shrugged.

“Guess he just thinks training is paying off.” Will said as he brought out a book to read.

Meanwhile in the transvoid, Omni and Fatal\_Error, now reformed slightly due to his broken code being fixed to the best of its ability, wandered the endless space stars of the transvoid.

Although Fatal never got a cosmic companion like Omni, he trained his hardest to grow stronger. And he was very successful. They hopped planet from planet as the two bookkeepers landed on Yesmerians planet.

“Ah, bookkeepers, what brings you to my part of the transvoid?” Yesmerian said as Fatal and Omni approached her.

“We’re seeking out Himmsworth, figured he’d be with you.” Omni said

“You’d be correct.” Himmsworth replied, sitting right behind them, licking his paw and wiping his head. Fatal and Omni turned to Himmsworth who looked up to the two skeletons.

Fatal kneeled down to Himmsworth but as he was about to say something Himmsworth put his paw out.

“I already know what you’re going to say. The child you seek is still in your world; she's getting ready to come home since she knows your regular schedule.” Himmsworth said as Fatal smiled and pet Himmsworth.

“Thank you, Himmsworth.” Fatal said, his voice far less glitchy than it ever was. Omni grabbed the book of eyes from his satchel as Himmsworth quickly tapped, catching their attention.

“Be warned, you two. A great danger is coming. And I can’t guarantee he will be merciful again.” Himmsworth said as Fatal looked concerned while Omni narrowed his eyes.

“Cryptic as usual.” Omni said as he opened the book, pondering what he meant. Fatal and Omni were then transported back to the main universe of Staffverse.

Omni and fatal were transported into the mansion's library. Omni couldn’t help but think of the ‘great danger’ Himmsworth talked about. Omni turned to Fatal.

“We may not be in the transvoid for a while.” Omni said as Fatal tilted his head confused. “Don’t mind it, go get the child. I must speak with Will.” Omni continued as the two parted ways in the meantime.

Omni moved to Williams' door, knocking on it. A few moments later William opened the door to be met with Omni, shocking him slightly.

“Ares! What a surprise. What brings you here?” William said, opening the door wider for Omni to come in.

“I was in the Transvoid with Fatal, traveling throughout the stars in deep space. We arrived at Yesmerians planet for Fatal to find his adoptive child.” Omni said, walking into the room, even Chara looked confused.

“And?” William said, confused.

“I talked with Himmsworth. He said that a great danger is coming.” Omni said, Williams eyes widening. He seemed skeptical though he didn’t want to believe it. Out of the endless possibilities, William already figured he knew who it was.

“We have to get everyone here. Now.” William said as Omni nodded, turning about to walk out of the room only for William to put his hand on Omni’s shoulder.

“It’s good to have you back.” Will said as Omni gave a slight smirk, walking out of the room.

Chara looked slightly worried as William scrambled about their room looking for his old jacket. After a few minutes of trying to find his old jacket he grabbed it from his closet. He paused as he looked at the battered and torn outfit. Chara tilted his head and walked over to William.

“What’s wrong babe?” Chara said looking at William then to his old outfit. William snapped out of it, slowly putting it back in the closet as Chara stopped him.

“He made that, didn't he?” William jolted up and looked at Chara.

“How did-“

“You have the same face when you looked at Errors room.” Chara said as William looked back to the jacket.

“Yea…he did.” William said as Chara took the jacket from William's hands.

“Why don’t we hang this up? As a memorial for him.” Chara suggested, William smirked slightly as he let go of the jacket.

“Sounds good.” He said as Chara put it up over their room door.

William used the mainframe code to manifest himself a new jacket as he kissed Chara on the forehead. “Let’s get out of here.” He said as he grabbed Chara’s hand and left for the lounge.

In the lounge, William sat Chara down as they looked at the front door, Fatal standing in front waiting for Lily. Omni was leaning against the wall

“Where is everyone?” Omni asked as he hadn’t been out of the transvoid in years. The only time he ever came out was for food and even then he didn’t interact with anyone.

“Left, all went their own paths. It’s now just me, Chara, Jacob and Alexandrea, sometimes, Adam and lapis. A lot has changed in your absence.” William said as Omni nodded along.

“Well, any idea of what this great danger is? We’ve had many enemies in our days. It could be any one of them. B&R, Osiris, other you’s.” Omni said, listing off some of the main enemies they had faced in the past.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if it were some random unnamable again.” Omni continued as Will looked off to the side. William sat down across from Chara, twirling his fingers in thought.

He then looked at Omni. “There’s only ever been one creep that hates us the most. The one who always came back. Faker. He’s coming to get us.” 404 said as the room grew quiet. Even Fatal was looking within the room, memories of him giving the book of eyes to faker flashed within his mind.

“And why do you think so?” Omni asked

“Isn’t it obvious? He’s pissed he was humiliated here. The entire Edensphere probably laughs about his failure here and he’s coming for revenge!” William exclaimed

“Then it’s best if we get everyone here. Perhaps we can convince Himmsworth to confirm. We could use Samson again just in case.” Omni said as William thought about it. He sighed

“I suppose so.” He said, standing up. “We can get King to summon them all through his speakers.” William said as Chara stood up

“Then let’s get going!” He exclaimed as William looked to Chara.

“I was thinking you could stay here.” William said as Chara had a look of disappointment on his face.

“Hey! I can take care of myself, thank you very much!” Chara said as Omni rolled his eyes.

“Whatever, come get me when we’re departing.” He said as he walked outside.

“I just don’t want you getting hurt.” William said as Chara pouted. “Why not visit Nora for me?” William asked as Chara softened.

“I guess so.” Chara said as he hugged William. “Be safe for me?”

“Of course.”

William walked outside of the mansion, meeting Omni there. “Let’s go” he said as Omni nodded, teleporting them two to the Gardens.

Over in the Gardens a large kingdom stood tall. Omni and William approached the large castle, William somewhat impressed King became this. They walked into the castle only to be stopped by guards at the entrance to the throne room.

“Halt!” An undyne said. “State your purpose.” They continued.

“I’m here to see King.” William said as the undyne raised her spear to William who only stared blankly.

“The king has no visitors today.” The undyne said as she was suddenly frozen in place. “W-Wha?!” The undyne said in shock only to see William smiling.

William raised his finger as a blue energy crackled above it. “Good thing I didn’t ask.” He said, him and Omni moving past the Undyne.

They approached the throne to see King Multiverse himself. In his hand was Asgore's old trident. Although it wasn’t the only gift he left King.

“Ah, 404 to what do I owe the pleasure?” King asked with a smile. William held his arm out.

“Please, it’s William now.” He said as King snickered.

“Dropped the nickname huh.” King said, standing up making his way to William and Omni.

“And your hero brother. So, what is the occasion? I never have you here.” King asked as William and Omni looked at each other, king’s smile slowly going away.

“It’s best if we talk with you somewhere private.” Omni said as King nodded his head.

“Of course, of course. Follow me.” King said, gesturing to his quarters.

“Quite the palace.” William said as he and Omni followed King to his room.

“Aye, it is. I assume you know Asgore had constructed it but…after his death he left it to me.” King said as they all walked upstairs.

“He was a good man.” Omni said as King nodded sorrowfully.

“He was. One of the best mentors I’ve had.” King said as William raised his eyebrow.

“I said one of. Not the.” King said, Omni rolling his eyes.

“How is Dot?” William asked as King breathed out a sigh.

“A handful, I sent him to some Asgores and Asriels for King training. Someday he will inherit this kingdom, I want him to be a better king than me. Better than I ever was.” King said as they finally made it to his room. “Here we are.” King opened the door to an exquisite bedroom. The three walked to a table to sit down.

“So, what is the problem?” King asked.

“We believe Faker is making his way back here, back to Staffverse. Himmsworth had told Ares that he isn’t going to be merciful again.” William said, King's eyes widened in shock and horror.

“That…beast…Well what did you come here for? You should be preparing for his arrival!” King Multiverse said

“We came in hope that you could call everyone back. I’ve heard your voice could reach every edge of this multiverse.” Omni said as King nodded.

“I certainly can. Asgore set up speakers during his time in the multiverse, they reached far and wide. Hasn’t been used in years though.” King said as Omni and William stood up.

“Bring us there.” William said as King stood up.

“Follow me then.” King replied as they made their way to the Comms room that was deep within the castle.

Opening the door to the Comms room they all walked in. They saw screens, camera’s, on the walls that monitored every inch of the multiverse.

“Would you like to do the honors?” King asked William to which he nodded.

William sat down in the chair that had a microphone in front of it. He scooted forward as he cleared his throat.

“Hello. This is William, also known as Error404. To all of my friends…my family…we need you home. Our orb is in danger once again and we aren’t strong enough.

Faker is coming. And it’s going to take a whole army to send this beast away. No doubt he’s grown in strength.

To my mother, who now wanders the Eden orb with Samson, we need you both.

And…to Error. I need you. I couldn’t save you all those years ago, but please come back.

Come to the main universe, I’ll explain there.” William said, turning off the mic. He stood up facing King and Omni.

“Let’s go.” He said as the two nodded, teleporting away to the mansion once again.

“Your back!” Chara sprang up, wrapping his arms around William. As he looked around William saw many familar people.

Adam and 901 sat on the couch. “We came as soon as we heard!” Adam said as Lily and Fatal sat on the couch next to the couple. Lisa and Sage emerged from the basement, standing off to the side. Jacob and Alex walked in from their room.

“Wow I haven’t seen you all in so long!” Jacob exclaimed with a small laugh.

“Hehe yea.” Lily replied as the Void Empress came into the room.

“So what about this threat?” She said, holding her hand on her hip.

“Be patient.” Frisk said, barging in with two women by his side.

One was Nora who smiled when she saw her dads, running to them. “DADS!” Nora exclaimed, giving them a hug.

“Hey cookie, take a seat.” William said, Nora sitting down.

The other woman was Yin. Frisk kissed Yin as they walked in with Sam trailing just behind.

“Well what a family reunion huh.” Frisk said as he and Yin sat down. Suddenly large stomps were heard alongside clicking, everyone knew who it was as Astral and 100 came out from practically nowhere.

“Better be a good use of my time, boy.” Astral said as her and Void Empress locked eyes.

“Oh it’s you.” She said as Astral rolled her eyes. Suddenly Axel and Tina, the son and daughter of Alpha and 901, teleported in

“Heya everyone!” Axel said with a smile. Dot also suddenly came in but didn’t talk.

And lastly a knock came from the door. William went over to see who it was. As he opened the door he was met with a familiar face.

He smiled. “It’s good to see you again, Error.” William said as he looked at Error somewhat stunned.

“Uncle Error!” Nora said as Error smiled.

“Feels good to be back, sorta.” Error glitched as he came in. William grabbed him by the arm.

“Listen…I-“

“No need, it’s in the past.” Error said, taking a seat.

Everyone was here. Well aside from Muffet, she didn’t particularly care about being here. They all sat or stood, waiting for what Will had to say. He took a deep breath.

“Listen…I don’t know how to explain it fully. Himmsworth had told Ares that a threat was coming and that it wouldn’t be merciful. I believe it’s Faker.” William said as Astral rolled her eyes

“Oh please boy. Why would he come back? For a powerful god he sure does love to waste his time.” Astral said as 100 whined beside her.

“Why wouldn’t it be faker?! He’s come back more times than I could count! Tried killing us hundreds of times, got embarrassed by Samson and no doubt all of Eden knows.” William said as everyone began to think and murmur. Nora looked afraid for her father. Loading phased into the room.

“Well then let’s hope you can best him.” He said, getting really close to Williams face.

“Because if you don’t, this reality will fall.” He continued, backing up.

“If all goes wrong we back out into the transvoid. Perhaps Gabriel and his army will lend us a hand at defeating this threat.” Loading said, looking towards Omni.

“We’ll see.” He said

“We have an army on standby, can’t say they’ll do anything to that beast though.” King multiverse said

“Only one way to find out I suppose.” William said. He turned to loading, a determined look on his face. Without even talking, Loading knew what he wanted.

“Merge with me. I’ll be able to use the cores, your abilities and butterfly.” William said as Loading nodded.

“With your affiliation with the Mainframe hopefully it could stay together.” Loading said as he merged with the mainframe within William, merging the two and shaking the entire reality once again as a light shined brightly as the two combined.

“Woah.”  Nora said in awe.

As the light dimmed and slowly dissipated, everyone stared at 404. His hands had holes with white circles inside, just like Loadings. “Haven’t felt like this since the old days.” William said, his and Loading voices almost intertwined.

“Because we haven’t merged ever since one of the cores was stolen.” Loading said, speaking within William’s mind.

“Right.” William said, gripping his hands. He felt his body, the sensation of the two merging felt weird to him.

“You look great babe!” Chara said, planting a kiss on his forehead.

“Ew.” Loading said as William smiled

“Get used to it.” he thought, Loading rolling his pupil.

“So what's the plan?” King asked. William thought about something, a plan to help them. But knowing they were outclassed significantly, no deus ex machina’s to help them…he was at a loss. It was at a time like this he wished Quenya was back.

“We could use Samson as our main attacker but…” William said, thinking back to when Faker had onced absorbed a 100. “I don’t know how well it will work.” William said with a sigh.

“Why don’t we take a rest on it. Today has been a stressful day as it is. All of this talk of Faker is getting to all of us, i'm sure.” King Multiverse said as 404 nodded.

“Yea, that sounds good. It’s getting late anyways.” William said as Chara stood, giving 404 a kiss as he walked to their room. Everyone left to their old respective rooms, leaving 404 in the lounge.

404 took a sigh as he walked through the hallway, although everyone just came in here to their rooms it seemed…empty. Although he didnt mind it. William entered his room only to find no-one there. He assumed Nora and Chara were somewhere, probably the bathroom. Loading looked around the area, skeptical of something. Something wasn't right and he knew it but William on the other hand didn't.

William sat on his bed, eventually laying down as he slowly…fell…asleep.
